U-Store-It Trust Reports Operating Results for the Three Months and Year Ended December 31, 2007
17% Increase in FFO per Share; 7% Increase in Same-Store Rental Income and 7% Increase in Same-Store NOI
CLEVELAND, OH — (MARKET WIRE) — February 28, 2008 — U-Store-It Trust (NYSE: YSI) announced its operating results for the three months and year ended December 31, 2007. “Our strong fourth quarter results clearly indicate that the building blocks put in place over the last 18 months have created a solid foundation. We plan to build on that foundation,” said Dean Jernigan, President and Chief Executive Officer of U-Store-It.
Significant highlights of the quarter and year include:
· Funds from Operations (“FFO”) of $0.21 per share for the three months ended December 31, 2007, a 16.7% increase over the $0.18 per share reported in the same period of the previous year. FFO per share was negatively impacted during the current quarter by approximately $0.01 per share due to dilution from the development/lease-up assets acquired in 2007.
· An increase in fourth quarter rental income and total revenue on the 329 same-store facilities by 7.1% and 5.5%, respectively, when compared to the three months ended December 31, 2006.
· An increase in fourth quarter net operating income (“NOI”) on the 329 same-store facilities by 7.2% when compared to the three months ended December 31, 2006.
· Average fourth quarter same-store physical occupancy (calculated on square feet) of 82%, a gain of 200 basis points over the fourth quarter of 2006.
· At December 31, 2007, the Company had approximately 3,300 or 2.4% more occupied self-storage units in the same-store portfolio compared to January 1, 2007.
· An increase of approximately 24,000 or 23.9% in the number of units rented at the same-store facilities during 2007 compared to 2006.
· A $1.1 million or 40% reduction in bad debt write-offs during the fourth quarter of 2007 compared to the fourth quarter of 2006.
· During 2007, we made significant investments into our portfolio including painting 112 facilities, completing asphalt and concrete projects at 42 facilities, remodeling 29 offices/apartments and expanding 4 facilities.
President and Chief Executive Officer Dean Jernigan commented, “We are extremely pleased to end the year on such a high note. At the end of the third quarter, we believed that our turnaround efforts were beginning to show positive and tangible results. These results are even more obvious in the fourth quarter. During 2007, we rented approximately 157,000 units, increased physical occupancy on the same-store pool 150 basis points at year-end, cleaned up our tenant receivables, completed the staffing in both our operations and administrative functions, enhanced our systems and streamlined our processes. While we always knew internally that our efforts would produce the desired effect, our results in the fourth quarter are tangible signs of those efforts. In 2008, we will continue to invest in our assets, systems and people. We also will be aggressive in our marketing and leasing efforts with the belief that the result will be a continuation of strong financial and operational performance.”
Funds from Operations
FFO for the fourth quarter of 2007 was $12.9 million, compared to $11.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2006. FFO per share grew 16.7% to $0.21 per share for the fourth quarter of 2007, compared to $0.18 for the same quarter of last year. The Company’s fourth quarter 2007 FFO was negatively impacted by approximately $0.01 per share attributable to the Company’s development asset acquired in January 2007 and the lease-up portfolio acquired in September 2007.
FFO for the year ended December 31, 2007 (excluding the third quarter non-recurring lease abandonment charge) was $53.9 million or $0.86 per share. Included in our first quarter 2007 FFO is $1.0 million of legal and professional costs associated with an inquiry into actions of a former Trustee and a former officer. After adjusting for this item, FFO per share for the year ended 2007 was $0.88 compared to $54.8 million or $0.87 per share for the year ended December 31, 2006.
Operating Results
The Company reported a net loss of $5.9 million or $0.10 per share in the fourth quarter of 2007, compared to a net loss of $5.7 million or $0.10 per share for the quarter ended December 31, 2006. For the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company reported a net loss of $13.1 million or $0.22 per share as compared to a net loss of $8.6 million or $0.15 per share for the year ended December 31, 2006. The increase in net loss is primarily attributable to increased depreciation expense of $2.2 million and $6.1 million in the quarter and year ended December 31, 2007 as compared to the quarter and year ended December 31, 2006, respectively.
Total revenues increased $5.8 million and total operating expenses increased $4.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2007, compared to the same period in 2006. Increases in total revenues and property operating expenses are attributable to the acquisition of 17 self-storage facilities for approximately $140.5 million since December 31, 2006 and increases in same-store revenues and expenses. General and administrative expenses increased by $0.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2007 compared to the same period in 2006.
Interest expense increased approximately $1.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2007, compared to the fourth quarter of 2006, primarily as a result of the additional debt used to fund the acquisition of 17 facilities purchased since December 31, 2006.
The Company’s 409 owned facilities, containing 26.1 million rentable square feet, had a physical occupancy at December 31, 2007 of 79.5% (80.0% exclusive of the lease-up assets) and an average physical occupancy for the quarter ended December 31, 2007 of 80.3% (80.8% exclusive of the lease-up assets).
Same-Store Results
The Company’s same-store pool at December 31, 2007 represented 329 facilities containing approximately 20.0 million rentable square feet and included approximately 76.7% of the aggregate rentable square feet of the Company’s 409 owned facilities. These same-store facilities represent approximately 85.5% of property net operating income for the quarter ended December 31, 2007.
The same-store average physical occupancy for the fourth quarter of 2007 was 82.0% compared to 80.0% for the same quarter of last year. In-place annual rent per square foot grew 0.6% to $12.31 in the fourth quarter of 2007 over the same quarter of last year. Same-store rental income for the fourth quarter of 2007 grew 7.1% over the same period in 2006. Same-store total revenues and operating expenses grew 5.5% and 3.2%, respectively, over the fourth quarter of 2006. Same-store net operating income grew 7.2% in the fourth quarter of 2007 compared to the same quarter of 2006.
For the year ended December 31, 2007, the same-store revenue, operating expenses and net operating income grew 2.2%, 4.0%, and 1.1%, respectively, as compared to the results for the year ended December 31, 2006. Average physical occupancy of the same-store pool for 2007 was 81.7% as compared to 81.2% during 2006.
Acquisition and Disposition Activity
During the fourth quarter, the Company disposed of two business park assets in Tucson, Arizona for $6.4 million. The Company recognized a gain of approximately $395 thousand on the sale. The proceeds were used repay mortgage debt and to reduce balances outstanding under our revolving credit facility.
During January 2008, we acquired a self-storage facility in Washington D.C. of approximately 63,000 square feet for $13.3 million. This is one of our identified core growth markets and we plan to recycle a portion of our capital into these markets going forward.
Quarterly Dividend
On December 13, 2007, the Company declared a dividend of $0.18 per share. The dividend was paid on January 22, 2008, to shareholders of record on January 7, 2008.
On February 27, 2008, the Company declared a dividend of $0.18 per share payable on April 22, 2008, to shareholders of record on April 7, 2008.
First Quarter 2008 Financial Outlook
The Company estimates that its fully-diluted FFO per share for the three months ending March 31, 2008 will be between $0.19 and $0.21, and that its fully-diluted net loss per share for the period will be between $0.10 and $0.12. The Company’s estimate is based on the following key assumptions:
· General and administrative expenses of approximately $5.5 million
· Same-store average occupancy of approximately 79.0%
· Same-store revenue growth of 4.25%-5.25% over the first quarter of 2007
· Same-store expense growth of 6.0%-7.0% over the first quarter of 2007
· Same-store net operating income growth of 3.0%-4.0% over the first quarter of 2007
· Dilution during the first quarter of 2008 from the 15 development/lease-up properties of approximately $0.01 per share

“We are affirming our previously issued full-year 2008 guidance. Our outlook for the first quarter of 2008 is one of appropriate cautious optimism. While many signs point to our economy being in a recession and while our credit markets remain dislocated, we continue to experience strong fundamentals in our business,” said Christopher Marr, Chief Financial Officer.

About U-Store-It Trust
U-Store-It Trust is a self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust. The Company’s self-storage facilities are designed to offer affordable, easily accessible and secure storage space for residential and commercial customers. According to the Self-Storage Almanac, U-Store-It Trust is one of the top four owners and operators of self-storage facilities in the United States.
Non-GAAP Performance Measurements
FFO is a widely used performance measure for real estate companies and is provided here as a supplemental measure of operating performance. The Company calculates FFO in accordance with the best practices described in the April 2002 National Policy Bulletin of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (the “White Paper”). The White Paper defines FFO as net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property, plus depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.
Management uses FFO as a key performance indicator in evaluating the operations of the Company’s facilities. Given the nature of its business as a real estate owner and operator, the Company considers FFO a key measure of its operating performance that is not specifically defined by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The Company believes
that FFO is useful to management and investors as a starting point in measuring its operational performance because it excludes various items included in net income that do not relate to or are not indicative of its operating performance such as gains (or losses) from sales of property and depreciation, which can make periodic and peer analyses of operating performance more difficult. FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income (determined in accordance with GAAP) as an indicator of the Company’s financial performance, is not an alternative to cash flow from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of the Company’s liquidity, and is not indicative of funds available to fund the Company’s cash needs, including its ability to make distributions.
We define net operating income, which we refer to as “NOI,” as total continuing revenues less continuing property operating expenses. NOI also can be calculated by adding back to net income: interest expense, loan procurement amortization expense, early extinguishment of debt, minority interest, loss on sale of storage facilities, depreciation and general and administrative, and deducting from net income: income from discontinued operations, gains on sale of self-storage facilities, and interest income. NOI is not a measure of performance calculated in accordance with GAAP.
Management uses NOI as a measure of operating performance at each of our facilities, and for all of our facilities in the aggregate. NOI should not be considered as a substitute for operating income, net income, cash flows provided by operating, investing and financing activities, or other income statement or cash flow statement data prepared in accordance with GAAP.
