STATEMENT ON FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

Certain information presented in this report contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws. Forward-looking statements include statements concerning our plans, objectives, goals, strategies, future events, future revenues or performance, capital expenditures, financing needs, plans or intentions relating to acquisitions and other information that is not historical information. In some cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by terminology such as “believes,” “expects,” “estimates,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “anticipates” or “intends” or the negative of such terms or other comparable terminology, or by discussions of strategy. We may also make additional forward-looking statements from time to time. All such subsequent forward-looking statements, whether written or oral, by us or on our behalf, are also expressly qualified by these cautionary statements.

All forward-looking statements, including without limitation, management’s examination of historical operating trends and estimates of future earnings, are based upon our current expectations and various assumptions. Our expectations, beliefs and projections are expressed in good faith and we believe there is a reasonable basis for them, but there can be no assurance that management’s expectations, beliefs and projections will result or be achieved. All forward-looking statements apply only as of the date made. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise forward-looking statements which may be made to reflect events or circumstances after the date made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

There are a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements contained in or contemplated by this report. Any forward-looking statements should be considered in light of the risks referenced in “Part II. Item 1A. Risk Factors” below and in “Part I. Item 1A. Risk Factors” included in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K. Such factors include, but are not limited to:

•adverse changes in general economic conditions, the real estate industry and the markets in which we operate;

•failure to realize the expected benefits of the recent acquisition of Life Storage, Inc. (“Life Storage”);

•the risk that Life Storage’s business will not be fully integrated successfully or that such integration may be more difficult, time-consuming or costly than expected, including our ability to retain and hire key personnel;

•the uncertainty of expected future financial performance and results of the combined company following completion of the Life Storage merger;

•failure to close pending acquisitions and developments on expected terms, or at all;

•risks associated with our ability to consummate the mergers with Life Storage, Inc. (“Life Storage”) and the timing and closing of the mergers including, among other things, our ability to obtain stockholder approval required to consummate the mergers, the satisfaction or waiver of other conditions to closing in the merger agreement, unanticipated difficulties or expenditures relating to the mergers, potential difficulties in employee retention as a result of the mergers, the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the mergers and the outcome of legal proceedings instituted against us, our directors and others related to the mergers;

•the effect of competition from new and existing stores or other storage alternatives, including increased or unanticipated competition for our or Life Storage’s properties, which could cause rents and occupancy rates to decline;

•potential liability for uninsured losses and environmental contamination;

•the impact of the regulatory environment as well as national, state, and local laws and regulations including, without limitation, those governing real estate investment trusts (“REITs”), tenant reinsurance and other aspects of our business, which could adversely affect our results;

•disruptions in credit and financial markets and resulting difficulties in raising capital or obtaining credit at reasonable rates or at all, which could impede our ability to grow;

•impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic or the future outbreak of other highly infectious or contagious diseases, including reduced demand for self-storage space and ancillary products and services such as tenant reinsurance, and potential decreases in occupancy and rental rates and staffing levels, which could adversely affect our results;

•our reliance on information technologies, which are vulnerable to, among other things, attack from computer viruses and malware, hacking, cyberattacks and other unauthorized access or misuse, any of which could adversely affect our business and results;

•increased interest rates;

•reductions in asset valuations and related impairment charges;

•our lack of sole decision-making authority with respect to our joint venture investments;

•our ability to recover losses under our insurance policies;

•the effect of recent or future changes to U.S. tax laws;

•the failure to maintain our REIT status for U.S. federal income tax purposes; and

•economic uncertainty due to the impact of natural disasters, war or terrorism, which could adversely affect our business plan.

The forward-looking statements are based on our beliefs, assumptions and expectations of our future performance, taking into account all information currently available to us. These beliefs, assumptions and expectations are subject to risks and

uncertainties and can change as a result of many possible events or factors, not all of which are known to us. If a change occurs, our business, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations may vary materially from those expressed in our forward-looking statements. You should carefully consider these risks before you make an investment decision with respect to our securities.

We disclaim any duty or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements set forth in this report to reflect new information, future events or otherwise.

1. ORGANIZATION

Extra Space Storage Inc. (the “Company”) is a fully integrated, self-administered and self-managed ~~real estate investment trust (“REIT”),~~REIT, formed as a Maryland corporation on April 30, 2004, to own, operate, manage, acquire, develop and redevelop self-storage properties ("stores") located throughout the United States. The Company was formed to continue the business of Extra Space Storage LLC and its subsidiaries, which had engaged in the self-storage business since 1977. The Company’s interest in its stores is held through its operating partnership, Extra Space Storage LP (the “Operating Partnership”), which was formed on May 5, 2004. The Company’s primary assets are general partner and limited partner interests in the Operating Partnership, which meets the definition of a variable interest entity and is consolidated. This structure is commonly referred to as an umbrella partnership REIT, or UPREIT.

The Company invests in stores by acquiring wholly-owned stores or by acquiring an equity interest in real estate entities. At ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023, the Company had direct and indirect equity interests in ~~1,457~~2,369 stores. In addition, the Company managed ~~931~~1,282 stores for third parties, bringing the total number of stores which it owns and/or manages to ~~2,388.~~3,651. These stores are located in 4142 states and Washington, D.C. The Company also offers tenant reinsurance at its owned and managed stores that insures the value of goods in the storage units.

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company are presented on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information, and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they may not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (including normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2022 has been derived from the Company’s audited financial statements as of that date, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. For further information refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2020-04, "Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting" (“ASU 2020-04”). ASU 2020-04 provides temporary optional guidance that provides transition relief for reference rate reform, including optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contract modifications, hedging relationships and other transactions that reference LIBOR or a reference rate that is expected to be discontinued as a result of reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. ASU 2020-04 is effective upon issuance, and the provisions generally can be applied prospectively as of January 1, 2020 through December 31, 2024. ~~The~~As of September 30, 2023, the Company ~~elected~~had converted all of its LIBOR-indexed debt and derivatives to ~~apply~~SOFR-based indexes (effective with the respective instrument’s next reset date for certain instruments). For all derivatives in hedge accounting ~~expedients related to probability and~~relationships, the assessments of effectiveness for future LIBOR-indexed cash flows to assume that the index upon which future hedged transactions will be based matches the index on the corresponding derivatives. The Company also elected to apply additional expedients related to contract modifications, changeselective relief in critical terms, and updates to the designated hedged risks as qualifying changes are made to applicable debt and derivative contracts. Application of these expedients preserves the presentation of derivatives and debt contracts consistent with past presentation. In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-01, "~~Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope", which refines the scope of~~ Topic 848 ~~and clarifies some~~that allows for the continuation of ~~its guidance. The Company continues to evaluate~~hedge accounting throughout the impact of the guidance and may apply other elections as applicable as additional changes in the market occur. The Company has begun transitioning debt over to Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") as part of the reference rate reform.transition process was utilized.

3. FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES

Derivative Financial Instruments

Currently, the Company uses interest rate swaps to manage its interest rate risk. The valuation of these instruments is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves. The fair values of interest rate swaps are determined using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash payments and the discounted expected variable cash receipts. The variable cash receipts are based on an expectation of future interest rates (forward curves) derived from observable market interest rate forward curves.

The Company incorporates credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both its own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements. In adjusting the fair value of its derivative contracts for the effect of nonperformance risk, the Company has considered the impact of netting and any applicable credit enhancements, such as collateral postings, thresholds, mutual puts and guarantees. In conjunction with the FASB’s fair value measurement guidance, the Company made an accounting policy election to measure the credit risk of its derivative financial instruments that are subject to master netting agreements on a net basis by counterparty portfolio.

Although the Company has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with its derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by the Company and its counterparties. However, as of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023, the Company assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of its derivative positions and determined that the credit valuation adjustments were not significant to the overall valuation of its derivatives. As a result, the Company has determined that its derivative valuations in their entirety were classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

The table below presents the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023, aggregated by the level in the fair value hierarchy within which those measurements fall.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

Long-lived assets held for use are evaluated for impairment when events or circumstances indicate there may be impairment. The Company reviews each store at least annually to determine if any such events or circumstances have occurred or exist. The Company focuses on stores where occupancy and/or rental income have decreased by a significant amount. For these stores, the Company determines whether the decrease is temporary or permanent, and whether the store will likely recover the lost occupancy and/or revenue in the short term. In addition, the Company reviews stores in the lease-up stage and compares actual operating results to original projections.

When the Company determines that an event that may indicate impairment has occurred, the Company compares the carrying value of the related long-lived assets to the undiscounted future net operating cash flows attributable to the assets. An impairment loss is recorded if the net carrying value of the assets exceeds the undiscounted future net operating cash flows attributable to the assets. The impairment loss recognized equals the excess of net carrying value over the related fair value of the assets.

The Company evaluates goodwill for impairment at least annually and whenever events, circumstances, and other related factors indicate that the fair value of the related reporting unit may be less than the carrying value. If the fair value of the reporting unit is determined to exceed the aggregate carrying amount, no impairment charge is recorded. Otherwise, an impairment charge is recorded 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.

When real estate assets are identified by management as held for sale, the Company discontinues depreciating the assets and estimates the fair value of the assets, net of selling costs. If the estimated fair value, net of selling costs, of the assets that have been identified as held for sale is less than the net carrying value of the assets, the Company would recognize an impairment loss on the assets held for sale. The operations of assets held for sale or sold during the period is presented as part of normal operations for all periods presented. As of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023, the Company had no ~~operating~~ stores classified as held for sale which are included in real estate assets, net.

The Company assesses annually whether there are any indicators that the value of the Company’s investments in unconsolidated real estate ventures may be impaired and when events or circumstances indicate that there may be impairment. An investment is impaired if management’s estimate of the fair value of the investment is less than its carrying value. To the extent impairment has occurred, and is considered to be other than temporary, the loss is measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the investment over the fair value of the investment.

In connection with the Company’s acquisition of stores, the purchase price is allocated to the tangible and intangible assets and liabilities acquired based on their relative fair values, which are estimated using significant unobservable inputs. The value of the tangible assets, consisting of land and buildings, is determined as if vacant. Intangible assets, which represent the value of existing tenant relationships, are recorded at their fair values based on the avoided cost to replace the current leases. The Company measures the value of tenant relationships based on the rent lost due to the amount of time required to replace existing customers, which is based on the Company’s historical experience with turnover in its stores. Any debt assumed as part of an acquisition is recorded at fair value based on current interest rates compared to contractual rates. Acquisition-related transaction costs are capitalized as part of the purchase price. For acquisitions that meet the definition of a business, the Company estimates the fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities of the acquired entity on the acquisition date. ~~We measure goodwill~~Goodwill is measured as the excess of consideration transferred over the net of the acquisition date fair values of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Acquisition-related expenses arising from the transaction are expensed as incurred. The Company includes the results of operations of the businesses that it acquires beginning on the acquisition date.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, receivables, other financial instruments included in other assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses, variable-rate notes payable, investments in debt securities and notes receivable, lines of credit and other liabilities reflected in the condensed consolidated balance sheets at ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 approximate fair value. Restricted cash is comprised of funds deposited with financial institutions located throughout the United States primarily relating to earnest money deposits on potential acquisitions.

The fair values of the Company’s notes receivable from Preferred and Common Operating Partnership unit holders and other fixed rate notes receivable were based on the discounted estimated future cash flows of the notes (categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy); the discount rate used approximated the current market rate for loans with similar maturities and credit quality. The fair values of the Company’s fixed-rate notes payable were estimated using the discounted estimated future cash payments to be made on such debt (categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy); the discount rates used approximated current market rates for loans, or groups of loans, with similar maturities and credit quality.

4. ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS

The Life Storage Merger

On July 20, 2023, the Company closed its merger with Life Storage (the "Life Storage Merger" or "Merger"). Under the terms of the Life Storage Merger, Life Storage stockholders and holders of units of the Life Storage operating partnership received 0.895 of a share of common stock (or OP Unit, as applicable) of the Company for each issued and outstanding share (or operating partnership unit) of Life Storage they owned for total consideration of $11,602,808, based on the Company's closing share price on July 19, 2023. At closing, the Company retired $1,160,000 in balances on Life Storage's line of credit which included $375,000 that Life Storage used to pay off its private placement notes in connection with the closing of the Life Storage Merger. The Company also paid off $32,000 in secured loans. On July 25, 2023, the Company completed obligor exchange offers and consent solicitations (together the "Exchange Offers") related to Life Storage's various senior notes. Upon the closing of the Exchange Offers, a total of $2,351,100 of Life Storage's senior notes were exchanged for senior notes of the same tenor of Extra Space Storage L.P. The remaining Life Storage senior note balances which were not exchanged total $48,900 and no longer have any financial reporting requirements or covenants.

Consideration and Purchase Price Allocation

The Merger was accounted for as an asset acquisition in accordance with ASC Topic 805 which requires that the cost of an acquisition be allocated on a relative fair value basis to the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. The following table summarizes the fair value of total consideration transferred in the Life Storage Merger:


Consideration Type	July 20, 2023
Common stock	$	11,353,338

Fair Value Measurement

The estimated fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed were primarily based on information that was available as of the closing date of the Life Storage Merger. The methodology used to estimate the fair values to apply purchase accounting and the ongoing financial statement impact, if any, are summarized below.

•Real estate assets – the Company engaged third party valuation specialists to calculate the fair value of the real estate assets acquired by the Company using standard valuation methodologies, including the cost and market approaches. The remaining useful lives for real estate assets, excluding land, were reset to 39 years. The Company also engaged third party valuation specialists to calculate the fair value of tenant relationships for storage leases based on estimated costs the Company avoided to replace them. Tenant relationships are amortized to expense over 18 months, which is based on the Company’s historical experience with turnover in its stores.

•Equity investment in joint venture partnerships - the Company calculated the fair value of equity investment in joint venture partnerships based on a direct capitalization of net operating income.

•Intangible assets - other – the Company engaged third party valuation specialists to calculate the fair value of customer relationships relating to tenant reinsurance contracts based on the income approach which estimates the potential revenue loss the Company avoided to replace them. These assets are amortized to expense over 36 months, which is based on the Company’s historical experience with average length of stay for tenants.

•Trade name – the Company engaged third party valuation specialists to calculate the fair value of trade names based on royalty payments avoided had the trade name been owned by a third party. This is determined using market royalty rates and a discounted cash flow analysis under the relief-from-royalty method to estimate the fair value of the trade name. This method incorporates various assumptions, including projected revenue growth rates, the terminal growth rate, the royalty rate to be applied, and the discount rate utilized.

•Unsecured senior notes – the Company calculated the fair value of the unsecured senior notes using standard valuation methodology, including readily available market data. The below-market value of debt is recorded as a debt discount and reported as a reduction of the unsecured senior notes balance on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The discount is amortized using effective interest method as an increase to interest expense over the remaining terms of the unsecured senior notes.

•Other assets and liabilities – the carrying values of cash, accounts receivable, prepaids and other assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities represented the fair values.

6.7. EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE

Basic earnings per common share is computed using the two-class method by dividing net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. All outstanding unvested restricted stock awards contain rights to non-forfeitable dividends and participate in undistributed earnings with common stockholders; accordingly, they are considered participating securities that are included in the two-class method. Diluted earnings per common share measures the performance of the Company over the reporting period while giving effect to all potential common shares that were dilutive and outstanding during the period. The denominator includes the weighted average number of basic shares and the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares that were dilutive had been issued, and is calculated using either the two-class, treasury stock or as if-converted method, whichever is most dilutive. Potential common shares are securities (such as options, ~~convertible debt,~~ Series A Participating Redeemable Preferred Units (“Series A Units”), Series B Redeemable Preferred Units (“Series B Units”), Series D Redeemable Preferred Units (“Series D Units” and, together with the Series A Units and Series B Units, the “Preferred OP Units”) and common Operating Partnership units (“OP Units”)) that do not have a current right to participate in earnings of the Company but could do so in the future by virtue of their option, redemption or conversion right.

In computing the dilutive effect of convertible securities, net income is adjusted to add back any changes in earnings in the period associated with the convertible security. The numerator also is adjusted for the effects of any other non-discretionary

changes in income or loss that would result from the assumed conversion of those potential common shares. In computing diluted earnings per common share, only potential common shares that are dilutive (i.e. those that reduce earnings per common share) are included.

For the purposes of computing the diluted impact of the potential exchange of the Preferred Operating Partnership units for common shares upon redemption, where the Company has the option to redeem in cash or shares and where the Company has stated the intent and ability to settle the redemption in shares, the Company divided the total value of the Preferred Operating Partnership units by the average share price for the period presented. The average share price for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023 and 2022 was ~~$157.15~~$134.24 and ~~$198.83,~~$189.11, respectively.

The following table presents the number of Preferred Operating Partnership units as if converted into potential common shares that were excluded from the computation of earnings per share as their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

On January 25, 2023, the remaining Series A Units were redeemed (see Note 13 below). For the purposes of computing the diluted impact on earnings per share of the potential exchange of Series A Units for common shares upon redemption, where the Company had the option to redeem in cash or shares and where the Company had stated the positive intent and ability to settle at least $101,700 of the instrument in cash (or net settle a portion of the Series A Units against the related outstanding note receivable), only the amount of the instrument in excess of $101,700 was considered in the calculation of shares contingently issuable for the purposes of computing diluted earnings per share as allowed by ASC 260-10-45-46. Accordingly, the number of shares included in the computation for diluted earnings per share related to the Series A Units was equal to the number of Series A Units outstanding, with no additional shares included related to the fixed $101,700 amount.

8. INVESTMENTS IN UNCONSOLIDATED REAL ESTATE ENTITIES

Investments in unconsolidated real estate entities and cash distributions in unconsolidated real estate ventures represent the Company's interest in preferred stock of SmartStop Self Storage REIT, Inc. ("SmartStop") and Strategic Storage Trust VI, Inc. ("Strategic Storage"), an affiliate of SmartStop, and the Company's noncontrolling interest in real estate joint ventures that own stores. The Company accounts for its investment in SmartStop preferred stock, which does not have a readily determinable fair value, at the transaction price less impairment, if any. The Company accounts for its investments in joint ventures using the equity method of accounting. The Company initially records these investments at cost and subsequently adjusts for cash contributions, distributions and net equity in income or loss, which is allocated in accordance with the provisions of the applicable partnership or joint venture agreement.

~~NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS~~ ~~(unaudited) (continued)~~

~~Amounts in thousands, except store and share data, unless otherwise stated~~

In these joint ventures, the Company and the joint venture partner generally receive a preferred return on their invested capital. To the extent that cash or profits in excess of these preferred returns are generated through operations or capital transactions, the Company would receive a higher percentage of the excess cash or profits than its equity interest.

The Company separately reports investments with net equity less than zero in cash distributions in unconsolidated real estate ventures in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The net equity of certain joint ventures is less than zero because distributions have exceeded the Company's investment in and share of income from these joint ventures. This is generally the result of financing distributions, capital events or operating distributions that are usually greater than net income, as net income includes non-cash charges for depreciation and amortization while distributions do not.

The Operating Partner may redeem the Notes Due 2028, the Notes Due 2029, the Notes Due 2031 and/or the Notes Due 2032 (collectively, the "Notes") in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at the Operating Partnership’s option and sole discretion, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the notes being redeemed and (ii) a make-whole premium calculated in accordance with the indenture governing the notes, plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not including, the applicable redemption date.

The guarantee of the Notes will be a senior unsecured obligation of each Guarantor. The Guarantors have no material operations separate from the operation of the Operating Partnership and no material assets, other than their respective investments directly or indirectly in the Operating Partnership, and therefore the assets, liabilities, and results of operations of the Obligated Group are not materially different than those reported in the Company's financial statements.

11. DERIVATIVES

The Company is exposed to certain risks arising from both its business operations and economic conditions. The Company principally manages its exposures to a wide variety of business and operational risks through management of its core business activities. The Company manages economic risks, including interest rate, liquidity and credit risk, primarily by managing the amount, sources and duration of its debt funding and by using derivative financial instruments. Specifically, the Company enters into derivative financial instruments to manage exposure that arises from business activities that result in the receipt or payment of future known and uncertain cash amounts, the value of which are determined by interest rates. The Company’s derivative financial instruments are used to manage differences in the amount, timing and duration of the Company’s known or expected cash receipts and its known or expected cash payments principally related to the Company’s investments and borrowings.

Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk

The Company’s objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish these objectives, the Company primarily uses interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount.

The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (“OCI”) and is subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that

EXTRA SPACE STORAGE INC.

Amounts in thousands, except store and share data, unless otherwise stated

the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. A portion of these changes is excluded from accumulated other comprehensive income as it is allocated to noncontrolling interests. During the three and nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023 and 2022, such derivatives were used to hedge the variable cash flows associated with existing variable-rate debt. In the coming 12 months, the Company estimates that ~~$30,899~~$31,372 will be reclassified as an increase to interest income.

The Company held 1817 derivative financial instruments which had a total combined notional amount of ~~$1,782,610~~$1,664,918 as of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023.

Fair Values of Derivative Instruments

The table below presents the fair value of the Company’s derivative financial instruments as well as their classification on the condensed consolidated balance sheets:

Credit-risk-related Contingent Features

The Company has agreements with some of its derivative counterparties that contain provisions pursuant to which the Company could be declared in default of its derivative obligations if the Company defaults on any of its indebtedness, including default where repayment of the indebtedness has not been accelerated by the lender.

The Company also has an agreement with some of its derivative counterparties that incorporates the loan covenant provisions of the Company’s indebtedness with a lender affiliate of the derivative counterparty. Failure to comply with the loan covenant provisions would result in the Company being in default on any derivative instrument obligations covered by the agreement.

As of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023, the Company did not have any net liability positions in the fair value of derivatives.

12. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

On July 20, 2023, the Company issued 76,217,359 shares of its common stock for a total value of $11,353,338. This was based on an exchange ratio of 0.895 per share conversion of Life Storage common stock at the Company's closing share price on July 19, 2023 of $148.96 as part of the Life Storage Merger.

On January 7, 2022, the Company issued 186,766 shares of its common stock to acquire two stores for $40,965.

13. NONCONTROLLING INTEREST REPRESENTED BY PREFERRED OPERATING PARTNERSHIP UNITS

Classification of Noncontrolling Interests

GAAP requires a company to present ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the company in the consolidated financial statements within the equity section, but separate from the company’s equity. It also requires the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest to be clearly identified and presented on the face of the consolidated statement of operations and requires changes in ownership interest to be accounted for similarly as equity transactions. If noncontrolling interests are determined to be redeemable, they are to be carried at their redemption value as of the balance sheet date and reported as temporary equity.

The Company has evaluated the terms of the Operating Partnership’s preferred units and classifies the noncontrolling interest represented by such preferred units as stockholders’ equity in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company will periodically evaluate individual noncontrolling interests for the ability to continue to recognize the noncontrolling interest as permanent equity in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Any noncontrolling interests that fail to qualify as permanent equity will be reclassified as temporary equity and adjusted to the greater of (1) the carrying amount and (2) the redemption value as of the end of the period in which the determination is made.

At ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the noncontrolling interests represented by the Preferred OP Units qualified for classification as permanent equity on the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets. The partnership agreement of the Operating Partnership (as amended, the "Partnership Agreement") provides for the designation and issuance of the OP Units. As of December 31, 2022, noncontrolling interests in Preferred OP Units were presented net of notes receivable from Preferred OP Unit holders of $100,000 as more fully described below. The balances for each of the specific Preferred OP Units as presented in the Statement of Noncontrolling Interests and Equity as of the periods indicated is as follows:

March 31, 2023 December 31, 2022
Series A Units $ — $ 16,498
Series B Units 33,568 33,568
Series D Units 189,372 211,436
$ 222,940 $ 261,502

Series B Units	33,567		33,568
Series D Units	189,372		211,436
	$	222,939	$	261,502

Series A Participating Redeemable Preferred Units

The Partnership Agreement provides for the designation and issuance of the Series A Units. The Series A Units have priority over all other partnership interests of the Operating Partnership with respect to distributions and liquidation.

The Series A Units were issued in June 2007. Series A Units in the amount of $101,700 bore a fixed priority return of 2.3% and originally had a fixed liquidation value of $115,000. The remaining balance participated in distributions with, and had a liquidation value equal to that of the OP Units. The Series A Units were redeemable at the option of the holder, which redemption obligation could have been satisfied, at the Company’s option, in cash or shares of its common stock. As a result of a redemption of 114,500 Series A Units in October 2014, the remaining fixed liquidation value was reduced to $101,700, which represented 875,480 Series A Units.

On June 25, 2007, the Operating Partnership loaned the holder of the Series A Units $100,000. The loan bore interest at 2.1%. The loan was secured by the borrower’s Series A Units, which are shown on the balance sheet net of the $100,000 loan as of December 31, 2022 because the borrower under the loan was also the holder of the Series A Units.

~~Amounts in thousands, except store and share data, unless otherwise stated~~

On January 25, 2023, the redemption obligation for all outstanding Series A Units was satisfied, at the Company’s option, in $5,000 cash and 851,698 shares of its common stock, which was net of the noncash settlement of the $100,000 loan. As a result of this redemption, no Series A Units were outstanding as of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023.

Series B Redeemable Preferred Units

The Partnership Agreement provides for the designation and issuance of the Series B Units. The Series B Units rank junior to the Series A Units, on parity with the Series C Units and Series D Units, and senior to all other partnership interests of the Operating Partnership with respect to distributions and liquidation.

The Series B Units were issued in 2013 and 2014. The Series B Units have a liquidation value of $25.00 per unit for a fixed liquidation value of ~~$33,568~~$33,567 which represents 1,342,727 Series B Units. Holders of the Series B Units receive distributions at an annual rate of 6.0%. These distributions are cumulative. The Series B Units became redeemable at the option of the holder on the first anniversary of the date of issuance, which redemption obligation may be satisfied at the Company’s option in cash or shares of its common stock.

On May 10, 2022, 45,000 Series B Units were redeemed for $1,125 in cash.

Series C Redeemable Preferred Units

The Partnership Agreement provides for the designation and issuance of the Series C Units. The Series C Units ranked junior to the Series A Units, on parity with the Series B Units and Series D Units, and senior to all other partnership interests of the Operating Partnership with respect to distributions and liquidation.

As of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were no outstanding Series C Units.

Series D Redeemable Preferred Units

The Partnership Agreement provides for the designation and issuance of the Series D Units. The Series D Units rank junior to the Series A Units, on parity with the Series B Units and Series C Units, and senior to all other partnership interests of the Operating Partnership with respect to distributions and liquidation.

The Series D Units have a liquidation value of $25.00 per unit, for a fixed liquidation value of ~~$189,171,~~$189,372, which represents 7,566,828 Series D Units. Holders of the Series D Units receive distributions at an annual rate between 3.0% and 5.0%. These distributions are cumulative. The Series D Units become redeemable at the option of the holder on the first anniversary of the date of issuance, which redemption obligation may be satisfied at the Company’s option in cash or shares of its common stock. In addition, certain of the Series D Units are exchangeable for OP Units at the option of the holder until the tenth anniversary of the date of issuance, with the number of OP Units to be issued equal to $25.00 per Series D Unit, divided by the value of a share of common stock as of the exchange date.

On January 3, 2023, 890,594 Series D Units were redeemed for 154,307 shares of common stock.

The Series D Units have been issued at various times from 2014 to 2022. On June 1, 2022, the Operating Partnership issued a total of 240,000 Series D ~~units~~Units valued at $6,000 in connection with the acquisition of Bargold.

14. NONCONTROLLING INTEREST IN OPERATING PARTNERSHIP AND OTHER NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS

Noncontrolling Interest in Operating Partnership

The Company’s interest in its stores is held through the Operating Partnership. Between its general partner and limited partner interests, the Company held a ~~94.0%~~95.2% ownership interest in the Operating Partnership as of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023. The remaining ownership interests in the Operating Partnership (including Preferred OP Units) of ~~6.0%~~4.8% are held by certain former owners of assets acquired by the Operating Partnership. As of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership are shown on the balance sheet net of a note receivable of $1,900 because a borrower under the note receivable is also a holder of OP Units. This note receivable originated in December 2014, bears interest at 5.0% per annum and matures on December 15, 2024.

The noncontrolling interest in the Operating Partnership represents OP Units that are not owned by the Company. OP Units are redeemable at the option of the holder, which redemption may be satisfied at the Company's option in cash, based upon the fair market value of an equivalent number of shares of the Company’s common stock (based on the ten-day average trading price) at the time of the redemption, or shares of the Company's common stock on a one-for-one basis, subject to anti-dilution adjustments provided in the Partnership Agreement. As of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023, the ten-day average closing price of the Company's common stock was ~~$155.29~~$123.46 and there were ~~7,214,649~~8,887,278 OP Units outstanding. Assuming that all of the OP Unit holders exercised their right to redeem all of their OP Units on ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023 and the Company elected to pay the OP Unit holders cash, the Company would have paid ~~$1,120,363~~$1,097,223 in cash consideration to redeem the units.

OP Unit activity is summarized as follows for the periods presented:


		For the Three Months Ended March 31,					For the Nine Months Ended September 30,
		2023		2022			2023		2022

Value of OP Units issued in conjunction with business combination and acquisitions						Value of OP Units issued in conjunction with business combination and acquisitions	$	249,470	$	141,000

On July 20, 2023, the Company issued 1,674,748 shares of its common stock for a total value of $249,470. This was based on an exchange ratio of 0.895 per share conversion of Life Storage OP Units at the Company's closing share price on July 19, 2023 of $148.96 as part of the Life Storage Merger.

GAAP requires a company to present ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the company in the consolidated financial statements within the equity section, but separate from the company’s equity. It also requires the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest to be clearly identified and presented on the face of the consolidated statement of operations, and requires changes in ownership interest to be accounted for similarly as equity transactions. If noncontrolling interests are determined to be redeemable, they are to be carried at their redemption value as of the balance sheet date and reported as temporary equity.

The Company has evaluated the terms of the OP Units and classifies the noncontrolling interest represented by the OP Units as stockholders’ equity in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company will periodically evaluate individual noncontrolling interests for the ability to continue to recognize the noncontrolling amount as permanent equity in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Any noncontrolling interests that fail to qualify as permanent equity will be reclassified as temporary equity and adjusted to the greater of (1) the carrying amount and (2) the redemption value as of the end of the period in which the determination is made.

Other Noncontrolling Interests

Other noncontrolling interests represent the ownership interests of third parties in ~~five~~nine consolidated joint ventures as of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023. ~~One~~Two joint ~~venture owns~~ventures each own one operating store and the other ~~four~~seven joint ventures each have a ~~combined total of six properties~~property under development. The voting interest of each third-party owner is between ~~3.0%~~2.0% and 31.0%.

Based on the facts and circumstances of each of the Company’s joint ventures, the Company has determined that one of the joint ventures at September 30, 2023 was a variable interest entity (“VIE”) in accordance with ASC 810, “Consolidation.” The Company has consolidated that joint venture as it was determined that the Company has the power to direct the activities of the joint venture and is the primary beneficiary of the joint venture.

15. SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company’s segment disclosures present the measure used by the chief operating decision makers ("CODMs") for purposes of assessing each segment’s performance. The Company’s CODMs are comprised of several members of its executive management team who use net operating income ("NOI") to assess the performance of the business for the Company’s

reportable operating segments. The Company’s segments are comprised of two reportable segments: (1) self-storage operations and (2) tenant reinsurance. NOI for the Company's self-storage operations represents total property revenue less direct property operating expenses. NOI for the Company's tenant reinsurance segment represents tenant reinsurance revenues less tenant reinsurance expense.

The self-storage operations activities include rental operations of wholly-owned stores and self-storage units acquired in the Bargold transaction. The Company's consolidated revenues equal total segment revenues plus property management fees and other income. Tenant reinsurance activities include the reinsurance of risks relating to the loss of goods stored by tenants in the stores operated by the Company. Excluded from segment revenues and net operating income is property management fees and other income.

For all periods presented, substantially all of the Company's real estate assets, intangible assets, other assets, and accrued and other liabilities are associated with the self-storage operations segment. Financial information for the Company’s business segments is set forth below:

16. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

As of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023, the Company was involved in various legal proceedings and was subject to various claims and complaints arising in the ordinary course of business. Because litigation is inherently unpredictable, the outcome of these matters cannot presently be determined with any degree of certainty. In accordance with applicable accounting guidance, management establishes an accrued liability for litigation when those matters present loss contingencies that are both probable and reasonably estimable. In such cases, there may be an exposure to loss in excess of any amounts accrued. The estimated loss, if any, is based upon currently available information and is subject to significant judgment, a variety of assumptions, and known and unknown uncertainties. The Company could in the future incur judgments or enter into settlements of claims that could have a material adverse effect on its results of operations in any particular period, notwithstanding the fact that the Company is currently vigorously defending any legal proceedings against it.

Amounts in thousands, except store and share data, unless otherwise stated

As of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023, the Company was under agreement to acquire 1115 stores at a total purchase price of ~~$144,106. Five~~$199,770. Nine stores are scheduled to close in 2023 and six stores are scheduled to close in 2024.

One store is scheduled to close in 2023 and one store is scheduled to close in 2024.

Although there can be no assurance, the Company is not aware of any material environmental liability, for which it believes it will be ultimately responsible, that could have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or results of operations. However, changes in applicable environmental laws and regulations, the uses and conditions of properties in the vicinity of the Company’s stores, the activities of its tenants and other environmental conditions of which the Company is unaware with respect to its stores could result in future material environmental liabilities.

~~17. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS~~

On April 3, 2023, the Company entered into a definitive merger agreement with Life Storage, Inc. (NYSE: LSI) (“Life Storage”) in an all-stock transaction. Under the terms of the agreement, Life Storage stockholders will receive 0.895 of an Extra Space common share for each Life Storage share they own for estimated total consideration of $12.7 billion, based on Life Storage's closing share price on March 31, 2023.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Amounts in thousands, except store and share data

CAUTIONARY LANGUAGE

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our unaudited “Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” and the “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)” appearing elsewhere in this report and the “Consolidated Financial Statements,” “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” contained in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. We make statements in this section that are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. For a complete discussion of forward-looking statements, see the section in this Form 10-Q entitled “Statement on Forward-Looking Information.”

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contained elsewhere in this report, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. Our notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contained elsewhere in this report and the audited financial statements contained in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 describe the significant accounting policies essential to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Preparation of our financial statements requires estimates, judgments and assumptions. We believe that the estimates, judgments and assumptions that we have used are appropriate and correct based on information available at the time they were made. These estimates, judgments and assumptions can affect our reported assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported revenues and expenses during the period presented. If there are material differences between these estimates, judgments and assumptions and actual facts, our financial statements may be affected.

In many cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated by GAAP and does not require our judgment in its application. There are areas in which our judgment in selecting among available alternatives would not produce a materially different result, but there are some areas in which our judgment in selecting among available alternatives would produce a materially different result. See the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements that contain additional information regarding our accounting policies and other disclosures.

OVERVIEW

We are a fully integrated, self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust (“REIT”), formed to own, operate, manage, acquire, develop and redevelop self-storage properties (“stores”). We derive substantially all of our revenues from our two segments: storage operations and tenant reinsurance. Primary sources of revenue for our storage operations segment include rents received from tenants under leases at each of our wholly-owned stores. Our operating results depend materially on our ability to lease available self-storage units, to actively manage unit rental rates, and on the ability of our tenants to make required rental payments. Consequently, management spends a significant portion of their time maximizing cash flows from our diverse portfolio of stores. Revenue from our tenant reinsurance segment consists of insurance revenues from the reinsurance of risks relating to the loss of goods stored by tenants in our stores.

Our stores are generally situated in highly visible locations clustered around large population centers. These areas typically enjoy above average population growth and income levels. The clustering of our assets around these population centers enables us to reduce our operating costs through economies of scale. To maximize the performance of our stores, we employ industry-leading revenue management systems. Developed internally, these systems enable us to analyze, set and adjust rental rates in real time across our portfolio in order to respond to changing market conditions. We believe our systems and processes allow us to more pro-actively manage revenues.

We operate in competitive markets, often where consumers have multiple stores from which to choose. Competition has impacted, and will continue to impact, our store results. We experience seasonal fluctuations in occupancy levels, with occupancy levels generally higher in the summer months due to increased moving activity. We believe that we are able to

respond quickly and effectively to changes in local, regional and national economic conditions by adjusting rental rates through the combination of our revenue management team and our proprietary pricing systems. We consider a store to be in the lease-up stage after it has been issued a certificate of occupancy, but before it has achieved stabilization. We consider a store to be stabilized once it has achieved either an 80% occupancy rate for a full year measured as of January 1 of the current year, or has been open for three years prior to January 1 of the current year.

On ~~April 3,~~July 20, 2023, we ~~entered into a definitive merger agreement for an all-stock transaction~~merged with Life Storage, Inc. (“Life Storage”~~), Life Storage LP (the “Operating Partnership”), Extra Space Storage LP (“Extra Space OP”), Eros Merger Sub, LLC ("Eros Merger Sub”)~~ and Eros OP Merger Sub, LLC (“Eros OP Merger Sub”), pursuant to which Eros Merger Sub will merge with and into Life Storage (the “company merger”), with Life Storage surviving the company merger as our wholly owned subsidiary and (b) following certain conversion and contributions transactions, Eros OP Merger Sub will merge with and into the Operating Partnership (the “partnership merger” and together with the companysuch merger, the ~~“mergers”~~"Life Storage Merger")~~, with the Operating Partnership surviving the partnership merger and becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of Extra Space OP.~~. Under the terms of the ~~merger agreement,~~Life Storage Merger, Life Storage stockholders ~~will receive~~and holders of units of the Life Storage operating partnership received 0.895 of an Extra Space common share (or Extra Space OP Unit, as applicable) for each Life Storage share (or Life Storage partnership unit) they ~~own~~owned for ~~estimated~~ total consideration of ~~$12.7 billion, based on~~$11.6 billion. Immediately following the Life ~~Storage's closing share price on March 31, 2023. The combined company will own~~Storage Merger, we owned and/or ~~manage~~managed over 3,500 locations and over 264.0 million net rentable square feet. The transaction is currently expected to close in the second half of 2023, subject to the approval of our stockholders and Life Storage stockholders and satisfaction of other customary closing conditions.

PROPERTIES

As of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023, we owned or had ownership interests in ~~1,457~~2,369 operating stores. Of these stores, ~~1,133~~1,896 are wholly-owned, two in consolidated joint ventures and ~~323~~471 are in unconsolidated joint ventures. In addition, we managed an additional ~~931~~1,282 stores for third parties bringing the total number of stores which we own and/or manage to ~~2,388.~~3,651. These stores are located in 4142 states and Washington, D.C. The majority of our stores are clustered around large population centers. The clustering of assets around these population centers enables us to reduce our operating costs through economies of scale. Our acquisitions have given us an increased scale in many core markets as well as a foothold in many markets where we had no previous presence.

As a result of ~~March 31,~~the Life Storage Merger on July 20, 2023, we added 903 operating stores which we either own or have ownership interests. Of these stores, 757 are wholly-owned, one in a consolidated joint venture and 145 are in unconsolidated joint ventures. In addition, we manage an additional 261 stores for third parties bringing the total number of stores from the Life Storage Merger which we own and/or manage to 3,651. Also as a result of the Life Storage Merger we entered the markets of one additional state.

As of September 30, 2023, approximately ~~1,380,000~~2,100,000 tenants were leasing storage units at the operating stores that we own and/or manage, primarily on a month-to-month basis, providing the flexibility to increase rental rates over time as market conditions permit. Existing tenants generally receive rate increases at least annually, for which no direct correlation has been drawn to our vacancy trends. Although leases are short-term in duration, the typical tenant tends to remain at our stores for an extended period of time. For stores that were stabilized as of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023, the average length of stay was approximately ~~16.6~~17.2 months.

The average annual rent per square foot for our existing customers at stabilized stores, net of discounts and bad debt, was ~~$21.05~~$21.43 for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023, compared to ~~$19.47~~$20.96 for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022. Average annual rent per square foot for new leases was ~~$17.00~~$16.01 for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023, compared to ~~$19.23~~$18.40 for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022. The average discounts, as a percentage of rental revenues, at all stabilized properties during these periods were ~~2.4%~~2.7% and ~~3.0%~~3.2%, respectively.

Our store portfolio is made up of different types of construction and building configurations. Most often sites are what we consider “hybrid” stores, a mix of drive-up and multi-floor buildings. We have a number of multi-floor buildings with elevator access only, and a number of stores featuring ground-floor access only.

The following table presents additional information regarding net rentable square feet and the number of stores by state.

Property Rental—The increase in property rental revenues for the three and nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023 was primarily the result of an increase of ~~$26,692~~$213,343 and $252,641 associated with the Life Storage Merger and acquisitions completed in 2023 and 2022, respectively. We acquired 757 wholly-owned stores in the merger and an additional 7 wholly-owned stores during the nine months ended September 30, 2023. We acquired a total of 153 stores during the year ended December 31, 2022. Property rental revenues also increased by $6,903 and $43,397 at our stabilized stores related primarily to higher average rates to existing ~~customers. Property rental revenue also increased by $21,109 associated with acquisitions completed in 2023 and 2022. We acquired one wholly-owned store~~customers during the three and nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023, ~~and a total of 153 stores during the year ended December 31, 2022.~~respectively.

Tenant Reinsurance—The increase in ~~our~~ tenant reinsurance revenues was due primarily to an increase in the number of stores operated. We operated ~~2,388~~3,651 stores at ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023 compared to ~~2,130~~2,327 stores at ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022.

Management Fees and Other Income—Management fees and other income primarily represent the fees collected for our management of stores owned by third parties and unconsolidated joint ventures and other transaction fee income. The increase for the three and nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023 was due to both an increase in the number of stores managed and an increase in the overall revenue of stores under management when compared to the same period last year. As of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023, we managed ~~1,255~~1,755 stores for joint ventures and third parties, compared to ~~1,135~~1,201 stores as of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022.

General and Administrative—General and administrative expenses primarily include all expenses not directly related to our stores, including corporate payroll, office expense, office rent, travel and professional fees. ~~Payroll has continued to increase as a result of outsized inflation.~~ We did not observe any material trends in specific travel or other expenses apart from inflationary pressures and from the increase due to the management of additional stores. Also, during the three and nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023 increases relate in part to the acquisition of ~~Bargold in June~~153 stores added during the year ended December 31, 2022 and ~~106~~757 stores added with the acquisition of Life Storage ~~Express acquisition~~ in ~~September 2022 compared to the same period last year.~~July 2023.

Gain on Real Estate Transactions—During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we sold two stores. We recognized a total gain of $14,249 related to the sale of these assets.

Interest Expense—The increase in interest expense during the three and nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023 was primarily the result of a higher debt balance and higher weighted average interest rate ~~and debt balance~~ compared to the same period in the prior year. The weighted average interest rate of the total of fixed- and variable-rate debt was 4.4% at September 30, 2023, compared to 3.6% at September 30, 2022.

Non-cash Interest Expense Related to Amortization of Discount on Life Storage Unsecured Senior Notes—Represents the amortization of the discount assigned in order to present the fair value of the Life Storage unsecured senior notes assumed as part of the Life Storage Merger.

Interest Income—Interest income represents interest earned on bridge loans, notes receivable, ~~and~~ debt securities and ~~income earned~~ on notes receivable from Common and Preferred Operating Partnership unit holders. The increase in interest income during the three and nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023 was primarily the result of an increase in ~~the notes receivable for our~~amount of bridge ~~loan program along~~loans held combined with an increase in interest rates. The balance of bridge loans was $533,000 as of September 30, 2023, compared to $298,108 as of September 30, 2022.

Equity in Earnings and Dividend Income from Unconsolidated Real Estate Entities—Equity in earnings of unconsolidated real estate entities represents the income earned through our ownership interests in unconsolidated joint ventures. In these joint ventures, we and our joint venture partners generally receive a preferred return on our invested capital. To the extent that cash or profits in excess of these preferred returns are generated, we receive a higher percentage of the excess cash or profits. Dividend income represents dividends from our ~~$200,000~~ investment in preferred stock of ~~SmartStop.~~SmartStop and Strategic Storage.

Income Tax Expense—The increase in income tax expense for the three and nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023 was primarily the result of an increase in book income and a decrease in permanent tax deductions related to stock awards.

FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS

Funds from operations (“FFO”) provides relevant and meaningful information about our operating performance that is necessary, along with net income and cash flows, for an understanding of our operating results. We believe FFO is a meaningful disclosure as a supplement to net earnings. Net earnings assume that the values of real estate assets diminish predictably over time as reflected through depreciation and amortization expenses. The values of real estate assets fluctuate due to market conditions and we believe FFO more accurately reflects the value of our real estate assets. FFO is defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, Inc. (“NAREIT”) as net income computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains or losses on sales of operating stores and impairment write downs of depreciable real estate assets, plus real estate related depreciation and amortization and after adjustments to record unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures on the same basis. We believe that to further understand our performance, FFO should be considered along with the reported net income and cash flows in accordance with GAAP, as presented in our condensed consolidated financial statements. FFO should not be considered a replacement of net income computed in accordance with GAAP.

The computation of FFO may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs or real estate companies that do not define the term in accordance with the current NAREIT definition or that interpret the current NAREIT definition differently. FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP, and should not be considered as an alternative to net income as an indication of our performance, as an alternative to net cash flow from operating activities, as a measure of our liquidity, or as an indicator of our ability to make cash distributions.

The following table presents the calculation of FFO for the periods indicated:

SAME-STORE RESULTS

Our same-store pool for the periods presented consists of 914 stores that are wholly-owned and operated and that were stabilized by the first day of the earliest calendar year presented. We consider a store to be stabilized once it has been open for three years or has sustained average square foot occupancy of 80% or more for one calendar year. We believe that by providing same-store results from a stabilized pool of stores, with accompanying operating metrics including, but not limited to: occupancy, rental revenue growth, operating expense growth, net operating income growth, etc., stockholders and potential investors are able to evaluate operating performance without the effects of non-stabilized occupancy levels, rent levels, expense levels, acquisitions or completed developments. Same-store results should not be used as a basis for future same-store performance or for the performance of our stores as a whole. The following table presents operating data for our same-store portfolio.

We believe that cash flows generated by operations, along with our existing cash and cash equivalents, the availability of funds under our existing lines of credit, and our access to capital markets will be sufficient to meet all of our reasonably anticipated cash needs during the next 12 months. These cash needs include operating expenses, monthly debt service payments, recurring capital expenditures, acquisitions, redevelopments and expansions, distributions to unit holders and dividends to stockholders necessary to maintain our REIT qualification.

We expect to generate positive cash flow from operations in 2023, and we consider these projected cash flows in our sources and uses of cash. These cash flows are principally derived from rents paid by our tenants. A significant deterioration in projected cash flows from operations could cause us to increase our reliance on available funds under our existing lines of credit, curtail planned capital expenditures, or seek other additional sources of financing.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023, we had ~~$47,951~~$216,121 available in cash and cash equivalents. Our cash and cash equivalents are held in accounts managed by third party financial institutions and consist of invested cash and cash in our operating accounts. During 2023 and 2022, we experienced no loss or lack of access to our cash or cash equivalents; however, there can be no assurance that access to our cash and cash equivalents will not be impacted by adverse conditions in the financial markets.

As of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023, we had ~~$7,366,967~~$11,291,333 face value of debt, resulting in a debt to total enterprise value ratio of ~~23.9%~~29.5%. As of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023, the ratio of total fixed-rate debt and other instruments to total debt was ~~70.7%~~70.3% ($~~5,207,398~~7,939,529 total fixed-rate debt including ~~$1,782,610~~$1,664,918 on which we have interest rate swaps that have been included as fixed-rate debt). The weighted average interest rate of the total of fixed- and variable-rate debt at ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023 was ~~4.3%~~4.4%. Certain of our real estate assets are pledged as collateral for our debt. We are subject to certain restrictive covenants relating to our outstanding debt. We were in compliance with all financial covenants at ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023.

We expect to fund our short-term liquidity requirements, including operating expenses, recurring capital expenditures, dividends to stockholders, distributions to holders of Operating Partnership units and interest on our outstanding indebtedness, out of our operating cash flow, cash on hand and borrowings under our revolving lines of credit. In addition, we are pursuing additional sources of financing based on anticipated funding needs and growth assumptions.

We ~~currently~~ hold a ~~BBB/~~BBB+/Stable rating from S&P, which was upgraded from BBB/Stable in July 2023 in connection with the Life Storage Merger, and a Baa2 rating from Moody's Investors Service. We intend to manage our balance sheet to maintain these ratings. Certain of our real estate assets are pledged as collateral for our debt. As of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023, we had a total of ~~906~~1,664 unencumbered stores as defined by our public bonds. Our unencumbered asset value was calculated as ~~$17,247,796~~$31,978,397 and our total asset value was calculated as ~~$22,407,701~~$37,603,482 according to the calculations as defined by our public bonds.

Our liquidity needs consist primarily of operating expenses, monthly debt service payments, recurring capital expenditures, dividends to stockholders and distributions to unit holders necessary to maintain our REIT qualification. We may from time to time seek to repurchase our outstanding debt, shares of common stock or other securities in open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Such repurchases, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors. In addition, we evaluate, on an ongoing basis, the merits of strategic acquisitions and other relationships, which may require us to raise additional funds. We may also use Operating Partnership units as currency to fund acquisitions from self-storage owners.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

Except as disclosed in the notes to our consolidated financial statements of our most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K, we do not currently have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purposes entities, which typically are established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. Further, except as disclosed in the notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements, we have not guaranteed any obligations of unconsolidated entities, nor do we have any commitments or intent to provide funding to any such entities. Accordingly, we are not materially exposed to any financing, liquidity, market or credit risk that could arise if we had engaged in these relationships.

SEASONALITY

The self-storage business is subject to seasonal fluctuations. A greater portion of revenues and profits are realized from May through September. Historically, our highest level of occupancy has been at the end of July, while our lowest level of occupancy has been in late February and early March. Results for any quarter may not be indicative of the results that may be achieved for the full fiscal year.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Market Risk

Market risk refers to the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and interest rates. Our future income, cash flows and fair values of financial instruments are dependent upon prevailing market interest rates.

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk is highly sensitive to many factors, including governmental monetary and tax policies, domestic and international economic and political considerations and other factors beyond our control.

As of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023, we had approximately ~~$7.4~~$11.3 billion in total face value of debt, of which approximately ~~$2.2~~$3.4 billion was subject to variable interest rates (excluding debt with interest rate swaps). If ~~LIBOR or~~ SOFR ~~were~~was to increase or decrease by

100 basis points, the increase or decrease in interest expense on the variable-rate debt would increase or decrease future earnings and cash flows by approximately ~~$21.6~~$33.5 million annually.

Interest rate risk amounts were determined by considering the impact of hypothetical interest rates on our financial instruments. These analyses do not consider the effect of any change in overall economic activity that could occur. Further, in the event of a change of that magnitude, we may take actions to further mitigate our exposure to the change. However, due to the uncertainty of the specific actions that would be taken and their possible effects, these analyses assume no changes in our financial structure.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(1)Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), are recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure based on the definition of “disclosure controls and procedures” in Rule 13a-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 only provide a reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and in reaching a reasonable level of assurance, management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

We have a disclosure committee that is responsible for considering the materiality of information and determining our disclosure obligations on a timely basis. The disclosure committee meets quarterly and reports directly to our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer.

We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level as of the end of the period covered by this report.

(2)Changes in internal control over financial reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f)) that occurred during our most recent quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We are involved in various legal proceedings and are subject to various claims and complaints arising in the ordinary course of business. Because litigation is inherently unpredictable, the outcome of these matters cannot presently be determined with any degree of certainty. In accordance with applicable accounting guidance, management establishes an accrued liability for litigation when those matters present loss contingencies that are both probable and reasonably estimable. In such cases, there may be an exposure to loss in excess of any amounts accrued. The estimated loss, if any, is based upon currently available information and is subject to significant judgment, a variety of assumptions, and known and unknown uncertainties. We could in the future incur judgments or enter into settlements of claims that could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations in any particular period, notwithstanding the fact that we are currently vigorously defending any legal proceedings against us.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in “Part I. Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, and in “Part II. Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the periods ended March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2023, which could materially affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. ~~Other than as set forth below, there~~There have been no material changes to the risk factors described in the “Risk Factors” section in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2022.~~2022, and the risk factors described in the “Risk Factors” section in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the periods ended March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2023. The risks described ~~below and~~ in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q are not the only risks facing our company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial may also materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

~~Risks Related to the Mergers~~

~~The exchange ratio is fixed and will not be adjusted in the event of any change in our stock price or the stock price of Life Storage.~~

Upon the closing of the company merger, each outstanding share of Life Storage common stock (other than shares of Life Storage common stock owned by any of the Life Storage parties or any wholly owned subsidiary of Life Storage and each share of Life Storage common stock owned by us or any of our wholly owned subsidiaries) will be converted into the right to receive 0.895 of a share of our common stock, with cash paid in lieu of any fractional shares, without interest. The exchange ratio of 0.895 was fixed in the merger agreement and, except for certain adjustments on account of changes in the capitalization of the parties, will not be adjusted for changes in the market prices of shares of our common stock or of Life Storage common stock. Stock price changes may result from a variety of factors (many of which are beyond our control), including the following factors:

•~~market reaction to the announcement of the mergers and our prospects following the mergers;~~

•~~changes in the respective businesses, operations, assets, liabilities and prospects of us and Life Storage;~~

•~~changes in market assessments of the business, operations, financial position and prospects of us and Life Storage;~~

•~~market assessments of the likelihood that the mergers will close;~~

•interest rates (including changes or anticipated changes in interest rates), general market and economic conditions and other factors generally affecting the market prices of our common stock and Life Storage common stock;

•~~federal, state and local legislation, governmental regulation and legal developments in the businesses in which we or Life Storage operate; and~~

•~~other factors beyond the control of either us or Life Storage, including those described or referred to elsewhere in this “Risk Factors” section.~~

The market price of shares of our common stock at the closing of the mergers may vary from its price on the date the merger agreement was executed, on the date of this joint proxy statement/prospectus, on the date of our special meeting and on the date of the Life Storage special meeting. As a result, the market value of the merger consideration represented by the exchange ratio will also vary.

If the market price of shares of our common stock increases between the date the merger agreement was signed, the date of our special meeting or the date of the Life Storage special meeting and the date of the closing of the mergers, Life Storage

stockholders could receive shares of our common stock that have a market value upon completion of the mergers that is greater than the market value of such shares calculated pursuant to the exchange ratio on the date the merger agreement was signed, the date of our special meeting or the date of the Life Storage special meeting, respectively. Conversely, if the market price of shares of our common stock declines between the date the merger agreement was signed, the date of our special meeting or the date of the Life Storage special meeting and the closing of the mergers, Life Storage stockholders could receive shares of our common stock that have a market value upon the closing of the mergers that is less than the market value of such shares calculated pursuant to the exchange ratio on the date the merger agreement was signed, the date of our special meeting or the date of the Life Storage special meeting, respectively. Furthermore, at the time of our special meeting and the Life Storage special meeting, our stockholders and Life Storage stockholders will not know with certainty the value of the our common stock that Life Storage stockholders will receive upon completion of the mergers.

Therefore, while the number of shares of our common stock to be issued per share of Life Storage common stock is fixed, our stockholders and Life Storage shareholders cannot be sure of the market value of the merger consideration Life Storage stockholders will receive upon the closing of the mergers.

~~Holders of our common stock will have a reduced ownership and voting interest after the mergers and will exercise less influence over our management.~~

The mergers will result in our stockholders having an ownership stake that is smaller than their current stake in our company as of immediately prior to the mergers. Upon completion of the mergers, based on the number of shares of our common stock outstanding on March 31, 2023, we estimate that our existing stockholders will own approximately 65% of the issued and outstanding common stock of the combined company. Consequently, our stockholders will have less influence over our management and policies after the company merger effective time than they currently exercise over our management and policies.

Completion of the mergers is subject to many conditions, and if these conditions are not satisfied or waived, the mergers will not be completed, which could result in a requirement that we pay termination fees.

The consummation of the mergers is subject to certain conditions, including (i) the approval of the company merger by the affirmative vote of the holders of two-thirds of the outstanding shares of Life Storage common stock entitled to vote on such matter, (ii) the approval of our common stock issuance by affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by the holders of our common stock, (iii) the shares of our common stock to be issued in the company merger having been approved for listing on the NYSE, (iv) the Form S-4 having been declared effective, (v) the absence of any temporary restraining order, injunction or other order, decree or judgment being issued by any governmental authority and no law being enacted, which would have the effect of making illegal or otherwise prohibiting the consummation of the mergers, (vi) the receipt of certain legal opinions by us and Life Storage and (vii) other customary conditions specified in the merger agreement.

There can be no assurance that the conditions to the closing of the mergers will be satisfied or waived or that the mergers will be completed. Failure to consummate the mergers may adversely affect our results of operations and business prospects for the following reasons, among others: (i) we have incurred and will incur certain transaction costs, regardless of whether the proposed mergers close, which could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and ability to make distributions to our shareholders; and (ii) the proposed mergers, whether or not they close, will divert the attention of certain of our management and other key employees from ongoing business activities, including the pursuit of other opportunities that could be beneficial to us. In addition, we or Life Storage may terminate the merger agreement under certain circumstances, including, among other reasons, if the mergers are not completed by December 31, 2023.

If the merger agreement is terminated under certain circumstances specified in the merger agreement, we may be required to pay Life Storage a termination fee of $761 million and/or reimburse Life Storage’s transaction expenses up to an amount equal to $20 million. If the mergers are not consummated, the price of our common stock might decline.

~~Failure to complete the mergers could negatively impact the stock prices and our future business and financial results.~~

If the mergers are not completed, our ongoing business could be materially adversely affected and without realizing any of the benefits of having completed the mergers, we will be subject to a variety of risks associated with the failure to complete the mergers, including the following:

•~~the market price of our common stock could decline;~~

•~~our being required, under certain circumstances, to pay to Life Storage a termination fee of $761 million depending on the circumstances;~~

•if the merger agreement is terminated and our board seeks another business combination, our stockholders cannot be certain that we will be able to find a party willing to enter into a transaction on terms equivalent to or more attractive than the terms of the merger agreement;

•~~we may experience negative reactions from the financial markets or our customers, vendors or employees;~~

•~~our having to pay certain costs relating to the mergers, such as legal, accounting, financial advisor, filing, printing and mailing fees whether or not the mergers are completed; and~~

•~~diversion of our management’s focus and resources from operational matters and other strategic opportunities while working to implement the mergers.~~

If the mergers are not completed, these risks could materially affect our business, financial results and share price. In addition, if the mergers are not completed, we could be subject to litigation related to any failure to complete the mergers or related to any enforcement proceeding commenced against us to perform our obligations under the merger agreement. The materialization of any of these risks could adversely impact our ongoing business.

~~The pendency of the mergers could adversely affect our business and operations.~~

Prior to the effective time of the mergers, some of our customers, prospective customers or vendors may delay or defer decisions, which could negatively affect our revenues, earnings, cash flows and expenses, regardless of whether the mergers are completed. In addition, third-party owners of stores which Life Storage manages, or which we manage, may cancel their management agreements, which could negatively affect our revenues, earnings, cash flows and expenses, regardless of whether the mergers are completed as well as negatively affect the financial position of the combined company. Further, due to operating restrictions in the merger agreement, we may be unable, during the pendency of the mergers, to pursue strategic transactions, undertake significant capital projects, undertake certain significant financing transactions and otherwise pursue other actions, even if such actions would prove beneficial.

An adverse outcome in any litigation or other legal proceedings relating to the merger agreement, or the transactions contemplated thereby, could have a material adverse impact on our or our ability to consummate the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement.

Transactions like the mergers are frequently the subject of litigation, shareholder demands, or other legal proceedings, including actions alleging that either party’s board of directors breached their respective duties to their stockholders or other equity holders by entering into the merger agreement, by failing to obtain a greater value in the transaction for their stockholders or other equity holders or otherwise, or any other claims (contractual or otherwise) arising out of the mergers or the transactions related thereto. With respect to these proceedings, and any other litigation or other legal proceedings that are brought against us or our board of directors or subsidiaries in connection with the merger agreement, or the transactions contemplated thereby, we intend to defend against any such claims made therein but may not be successful in doing so. An adverse outcome in such matters, as well as the costs and efforts of a defense even if successful, could have a material adverse effect on our ability to consummate the mergers in a timely manner, or at all, or our business, results of operation or financial position, including through the possible diversion of our resources or distraction of key personnel.

~~We expect to incur substantial expenses related to the mergers.~~

Following the mergers, we expect to incur substantial expenses in connection with completing the mergers and integrating the operations and systems of Life Storage with ours. While we have assumed that a certain level of expenses would be incurred, there are a number of factors beyond its control that could affect the total amount or the timing of our expenses relating to the completion of the mergers and our operations. Many of the expenses that will be incurred, by their nature, are difficult to estimate accurately at the present time. As a result, the expenses associated with the mergers could, particularly in the near term, reduce the savings that we expect to achieve from the elimination of duplicative expenses and the realization of economies of scale and cost savings related to the integration of the operations of Life Storage following the completion of the mergers.

Following the mergers, we may be unable to integrate the operations of Life Storage successfully with ours and realize the anticipated synergies and other benefits of the mergers or do so within the anticipated time frame.

The mergers involve the combination of two companies that currently operate as independent public companies and their respective operating partnerships. We are expected to benefit from the elimination of duplicative costs associated with supporting a public company platform and the leveraging of state-of-the-art technology and systems. However, we will be

required to devote significant management attention and resources to integrating the operations of Life Storage with our own. Potential difficulties we may encounter in the integration process include the following:

•the inability to successfully combine the operations of Life Storage, including the integration of employees, customer records and maintaining cybersecurity protections, in a manner that permits us to achieve the cost savings anticipated to result from the mergers, which would result in the anticipated benefits of the mergers not being realized in the time frame currently anticipated or at all;

•~~the inability to dispose of former Life Storage assets or operations that we may desire to dispose of;~~

•~~the complexities associated with managing the combined businesses out of different locations and integrating personnel from the two companies;~~

•~~the failure to retain our key employees or the key employees of Life Storage;~~

•~~potential unknown liabilities and unforeseen increased expenses, delays or regulatory conditions associated with the mergers; and~~

•~~performance shortfalls as a result of the diversion of management’s attention caused by completing the mergers and integrating the companies’ operations.~~

For all these reasons, you should be aware that it is possible that the integration process could result in the distraction of our management, the disruption of our ongoing business or inconsistencies in our operations, services, standards, controls, procedures and policies, any of which could adversely affect our ability to maintain relationships with customers, vendors and employees or to achieve the anticipated benefits of the mergers, or could otherwise adversely affect our business and financial results.
