Please see “Analysis of Same Store Revenue” under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in the Company’s June 30, 2021 Form 10-Q for further information with respect to the various factors that affect the Company’s revenues.

(a) The Same Store Facilities consist of 2,278 facilities (148.9 million net rentable square feet) that have been owned and operated on a stabilized basis since January 1, 2019. These facilities represented approximately 81% of the aggregate net rentable square feet of the Company’s U.S. consolidated self-storage portfolio at June 30, 2021.

(b) Annual contract rent represents the agreed upon monthly rate that is paid by the Company’s tenants in place at the time of measurement. Contract rates are initially set in the lease agreement upon move-in and the Company’s adjusts them from time to time with notice. Contract rent excludes other fees that are charged on a per-item basis, such as late charges and administrative fees, does not reflect the impact of promotional discounts, and does not reflect the impact of rents that are written off as uncollectible.
