At December 31, 2013, the Company’s third-party management program included 160 facilities totaling 9.8 million square feet. During the quarter and year ended December 31, 2013, the Company added 37 and 51 new management contracts to the Company’s third-party management program, respectively.
Same-Store Results
The Company’s same-store portfolio at December 31, 2013 represented 298 facilities containing approximately 19.8 million rentable square feet and included approximately 80.3% of the aggregate rentable square feet of the Company’s 366 owned facilities.

Same-store physical occupancy at period end for the fourth quarter of 2013 was 88.9%, compared with 85.1% for the same quarter of last year. Same-store total revenues for the fourth quarter of 2013 increased 6.7%, and same-store operating expenses increased 5.3% from the same quarter in 2012. Same-store net operating income increased 7.3%, as compared with the same period in 2012.
For the year ended December 31, 2013, same-store total revenues increased 7.4%, same-store operating expenses increased 3.7%, and same-store net operating income increased 9.3%, as compared with the year ended December 31, 2012.
Operating Results
At December 31, 2013, the Company’s total owned portfolio, represented 366 facilities containing 24.7 million rentable square feet and had a physical occupancy of 88.3%.
Total revenues increased $9.9 million and total property operating expenses increased $3.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2013, as compared with the same period in 2012. Increases in
total revenues are primarily attributable to increased occupancy levels in the same-store portfolio and revenues generated from property acquisitions. Increases in total property operating expenses are attributable to the impact of newly acquired facilities and an increase of 5.3% in same-store expenses.
Interest expense decreased from $10.9 million during the three months ended December 31, 2012 to $9.6 million during the three months ended December 31, 2013, a decrease of $1.3 million.
The Company reported net income attributable to the Company’s common shareholders of $21.4 million, or $0.15 per common share, in the fourth quarter of 2013, compared with net loss attributable to the Company’s common shareholders of $0.02 million, or $0.00 per common share, in the fourth quarter of 2012.
For the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company reported net income attributable to the Company’s common shareholders of $35.4 million, or $0.26 per common share, compared with net loss attributable to the Company’s common shareholders of $4.2 million, or $0.03 per common share, for the year ended December 31, 2012.
Balance Sheet
During the quarter, the Company sold 2.6 million common shares of beneficial interest through its “at-the-market” equity program at an average sales price of $18.70 per share, resulting in net proceeds of $47.9 million, bringing full-year net proceeds from the program to $100.6 million. At December 31, 2013, the Company had 6.4 million shares available for issuance under the existing equity distribution agreements.
On December 10, 2013, the Company issued $250 million of 4.375% senior notes due December 15, 2023. The net proceeds from the offering were used to repay the $100 million unsecured term loan maturing in 2014. The balance of the net proceeds were used to repay outstanding indebtedness incurred under the Company’s revolving credit facility.
Quarterly Dividend
On December 19, 2013, the Company declared a dividend of $0.13 per common share, an 18.2% increase compared to Company’s previously declared quarterly dividend. The dividend was paid on January 15, 2014 to common shareholders of record on January 2, 2014.
Also on December 19, 2013, the Company declared a dividend of $0.484375 for the 7.75% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares. The dividend was paid on January 15, 2014 to holders of record on January 2, 2014.
2014 Financial Outlook
“Our expectations for 2014 reflect a continuation of positive fundamental trends that we have seen in recent periods,” stated Tim Martin, Chief Financial Officer. “Our 2014 guidance contemplates meaningful revenue growth as well as increases in weather-related costs and continued pressure on real estate taxes. Additionally, our balance sheet remains well-positioned to support our strategic growth initiatives through broad access to a variety of capital sources.”
The Company estimates that its fully diluted FFO per share, as adjusted, for 2014 will be between $0.98 and $1.02, and that its fully diluted net income per share for the period will be between $0.06 and $0.10. The Company’s estimate is based on the following key assumptions:
· For 2014, a same-store pool consisting of 346 assets totaling 23.2 million square feet
· Same-store net operating income (“NOI”) growth of 6.0% to 7.0% over 2013, driven by revenue growth of 5.0% to 6.0% and expense growth of 3.0% to 4.0%
· General and administrative expenses of approximately $27.5 million to $28.5 million
Due to uncertainty related to the timing and terms of transactions, the impact of future investment activity is excluded from guidance. For 2014, the Company is targeting $150 million to $200 million of acquisitions.

About CubeSmart
CubeSmart 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 2014 Self-Storage Almanac, CubeSmart is one of the top four owners and operators of self-storage facilities in the United States.
Non-GAAP Performance Measurements
Funds from operations (“FFO”) is a widely used performance measure for real estate companies and is provided here as a supplemental measure of operating performance. The April 2002 National Policy Bulletin of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (the “White Paper”), as amended, defines FFO as net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of real estate and related impairment charges, plus real estate 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 real estate, gains on remeasurement of investment in real estate ventures, impairments of depreciable assets, and depreciation, which can make periodic and peer analyses of operating performance more difficult. Our computation of FFO may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs or real estate companies. FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income (determined in accordance with GAAP) as an indication of our performance. FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP and is not a measure of liquidity or an indicator of our ability to make cash distributions. We believe that to further understand our performance, FFO should be compared with our reported net income and considered in addition to cash flows computed in accordance with GAAP, as presented in our Consolidated Financial Statements.
FFO, as adjusted represents FFO as defined above, excluding the effects of acquisition related costs, gains or losses from early extinguishment of debt, and other non-recurring items, which we believe are not indicative of the Company’s operating results.
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 (loss): interest expense on loans, loan procurement amortization expense, loan procurement amortization expense — early repayment of debt, acquisition related costs, equity in losses of real estate ventures, amounts attributable to noncontrolling interests, other expense, depreciation and amortization expense, general and administrative expense, and deducting from net income: income from discontinued operations, gains on disposition of discontinued
operations, other income, gain from remeasurement of investment in real estate ventures and interest income. NOI is not a measure of performance calculated in accordance with GAAP.
We use 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.
