Description Of The Business | ' |
1.Description of the Business | |
Public Storage (referred to herein as “the Company”, “we”, “us”, or “our”), a Maryland real estate investment trust, was organized in 1980. Our principal business activities include the acquisition, development, ownership and operation of self-storage facilities which offer storage spaces for lease, generally on a month-to-month basis, for personal and business use. | |
At June 30, 2014, we have direct and indirect equity interests in 2,208 self-storage facilities (with approximately 142 million net rentable square feet) located in 38 states in the United States (“U.S.”) operating under the “Public Storage” name. We also own one self-storage facility in London, England and we have a 49% interest in Shurgard Europe, which owns 187 self-storage facilities (with approximately 10 million net rentable square feet) located in seven Western European countries, all operating under the “Shurgard” name. We also have direct and indirect equity interests in approximately 31 million net rentable square feet of commercial space located in 11 states in the U.S. primarily owned and operated by PS Business Parks, Inc. (“PSB”) under the “PS Business Parks” name. At June 30, 2014, we have an approximate 42% common equity interest in PSB. | |
Disclosures of the number and square footage of properties, as well as the number and coverage of tenant reinsurance policies are unaudited and outside the scope of our independent registered public accounting firm’s review of our financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (U.S.). | |

2.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | |||||||||||||
Basis of Presentation | |||||||||||||
The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) as defined in the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (the “Codification”), including guidance with respect to interim financial information and in conformity with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. While they do not include all of the disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements, we believe that we have included all adjustments (consisting of normal and recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2014 due to seasonality and other factors. These interim financial statements should be read together with the audited financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. | |||||||||||||
Consolidation and Equity Method of Accounting | |||||||||||||
We consider entities to be Variable Interest Entities (“VIEs”) when they have insufficient equity to finance their activities without additional subordinated financial support provided by other parties, or where the equity holders as a group do not have a controlling financial interest. We have no investments or other involvement in any VIEs. | |||||||||||||
We consolidate all entities that we control (these entities, for the period in which the reference applies, are referred to collectively as the “Subsidiaries”), and we eliminate intercompany transactions and balances. We account for our investments in entities that we have significant influence over, but do not control, using the equity method of accounting (these entities, for the periods in which the reference applies, are referred to collectively as the “Unconsolidated Real Estate Entities”), eliminating intra-entity profits and losses and amortizing any differences between the cost and the underlying equity in net assets against equity in earnings as if the Unconsolidated Real Estate Entity were a consolidated subsidiary. When we obtain control of an Unconsolidated Real Estate Entity, we commence consolidating the entity and record a gain representing the differential between the book value and fair value of our preexisting equity interest. All changes in consolidation status are reflected prospectively. | |||||||||||||
When we are general partner, we control the partnership unless the third-party limited partners can dissolve the partnership or otherwise remove us as general partner without cause, or if the limited partners have the right to participate in substantive decisions of the partnership. | |||||||||||||
Collectively, at June 30, 2014, the Company and the Subsidiaries own 2,194 self-storage facilities in the U.S., one self-storage facility in London, England and six commercial facilities in the U.S. At June 30, 2014, the Unconsolidated Real Estate Entities are comprised of PSB, Shurgard Europe, as well as limited partnerships that own an aggregate of 14 self-storage facilities in the U.S. (these limited partnerships, for the periods in which the reference applies, are referred to as the “Other Investments”). | |||||||||||||
Use of Estimates | |||||||||||||
The financial statements and accompanying notes reflect our estimates and assumptions. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions. | |||||||||||||
Income Taxes | |||||||||||||
We have elected to be treated as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”), as defined in the Internal Revenue Code. As a REIT, we do not incur federal income tax if we distribute 100% of our REIT taxable income (generally, net rents and gains from real property, dividends, and interest) each year, and if we meet certain organizational and operational rules. We believe we will meet these REIT requirements in 2014, and that we have met them for all other periods presented herein. Accordingly, we have recorded no federal income tax expense related to our REIT taxable income. | |||||||||||||
Our merchandise and tenant reinsurance operations are subject to corporate income tax and such taxes are included in ancillary cost of operations. We also incur income and other taxes in certain states, which are included in general and administrative expense. | |||||||||||||
We recognize tax benefits of uncertain income tax positions that are subject to audit only if we believe it is more likely than not that the position would ultimately be sustained assuming the relevant taxing authorities had full knowledge of the relevant facts and circumstances of our positions. As of June 30, 2014, we had no tax benefits that were not recognized. | |||||||||||||
Real Estate Facilities | |||||||||||||
Real estate facilities are recorded at cost. We capitalize all costs incurred to develop, construct, renovate and improve properties, including interest and property taxes incurred during the construction period. We expense internal and external transaction costs associated with acquisitions or dispositions of real estate, as well as repairs and maintenance costs, as incurred. We depreciate buildings and improvements on a straight-line basis over estimated useful lives ranging generally between 5 to 25 years. | |||||||||||||
We allocate the net acquisition cost of acquired operating self-storage facilities to the underlying land, buildings, identified intangible assets, and remaining noncontrolling interests based upon their respective individual estimated fair values. Any difference between the net acquisition cost and the estimated fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. | |||||||||||||
Other Assets | |||||||||||||
Other assets primarily consist of prepaid expenses, accounts receivable, land held for sale and restricted cash. | |||||||||||||
Accrued and Other Liabilities | |||||||||||||
Accrued and other liabilities consist primarily of trade payables, property tax accruals, tenant prepayments of rents, accrued interest payable, accrued payroll, accrued tenant reinsurance losses, casualty losses, and contingent loss accruals which are accrued when probable and estimable. We disclose the nature of significant unaccrued losses that are reasonably possible of occurring and, if estimable, a range of exposure. | |||||||||||||
Cash Equivalents, Marketable Securities and Other Financial Instruments | |||||||||||||
Cash equivalents represent highly liquid financial instruments such as money market funds with daily liquidity or short-term commercial paper or treasury securities maturing within three months of acquisition. Cash and cash equivalents which are restricted from general corporate use are included in other assets. Commercial paper not maturing within three months of acquisition, which we intend and have the capacity to hold until maturity, are included in marketable securities and accounted for using the effective interest method. Transfers of financial assets are recorded as sales when the asset is put presumptively beyond our and our creditors’ reach, there is no impediment to the transferee’s right to pledge or exchange the asset, we have surrendered effective control of the asset, we have no actual or effective right or requirement to repurchase the asset and, in the case of a transfer of a participating interest, there is no impediment to our right to pledge or exchange the participating interest we retain. | |||||||||||||
Fair Value Accounting | |||||||||||||
As used herein, the term “fair value” is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. We prioritize the inputs used in measuring fair value based upon a three-tier hierarchy described in Codification Section 820-10-35. | |||||||||||||
We believe that, during all periods presented, the carrying values approximate the fair values of our cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, other assets, and accrued and other liabilities, based upon our evaluation of the underlying characteristics, market data, and short maturity of these financial instruments, which involved considerable judgment. The estimated fair values are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that could be realized in current market exchanges. The characteristics of these financial instruments, market data, and other comparative metrics utilized in determining these fair values are “Level 2” inputs as the term is defined in Codification Section 820-10-35-47. | |||||||||||||
We use significant judgment to estimate fair values in recording our business combinations, to evaluate real estate, investments in unconsolidated real estate entities, goodwill, and other intangible assets for impairment, and to determine the fair values of notes payable and receivable. In estimating fair values, we consider significant unobservable inputs such as market prices of land, market capitalization rates and earnings multiples for real estate facilities, projected levels of earnings, costs of construction, functional depreciation, and market interest rates for debt securities with a similar time to maturity and credit quality, which are “Level 3” inputs as the term is defined in Codification Section 820-10-35-52. | |||||||||||||
Currency and Credit Risk | |||||||||||||
Financial assets that are exposed to credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, loans receivable, and restricted cash. Cash equivalents and marketable securities we invest in are either money market funds with a rating of at least AAA by Standard and Poor’s, commercial paper that is rated A1 by Standard and Poor’s or deposits with highly rated commercial banks. | |||||||||||||
At June 30, 2014, due primarily to our investment in and loan receivable from Shurgard Europe, our operating results and financial position are affected by fluctuations in currency exchange rates between the Euro, and to a lesser extent, other European currencies, against the U.S. Dollar. | |||||||||||||
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets | |||||||||||||
Intangible assets are comprised of goodwill, the “Shurgard” trade name, acquired customers in place, and leasehold interests in land. | |||||||||||||
Goodwill totaled $174.6 million at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013. The “Shurgard” trade name, which is used by Shurgard Europe pursuant to a fee-based licensing agreement, has a book value of $18.8 million at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013. Goodwill and the “Shurgard” trade name have indefinite lives and are not amortized. | |||||||||||||
Acquired customers in place and leasehold interests in land are finite-lived and are amortized relative to the benefit of the customers in place or the land lease expense to each period. At June 30, 2014, these intangibles have a net book value of $31.6 million ($53.4 million at December 31, 2013). Accumulated amortization totaled $50.8 million at June 30, 2014 ($35.1 million at December 31, 2013), and amortization expense of $24.8 million and $4.7 million was recorded in the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The estimated future amortization expense for our finite-lived intangible assets at June 30, 2014 is $13.5 million in the remainder of 2014, $9.2 million in 2015 and $8.9 million thereafter. During the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, intangibles were increased $3.1 million and $0.6 million, respectively, in connection with the acquisition of self-storage facilities and leasehold interests. | |||||||||||||
Evaluation of Asset Impairment | |||||||||||||
We evaluate our real estate, finite-lived intangible assets, investments in unconsolidated real estate entities, and loan receivable from Shurgard Europe for impairment on a quarterly basis. We evaluate indefinite-lived assets (including goodwill) for impairment on an annual basis, or more often if there are indicators of impairment. | |||||||||||||
In evaluating our real estate assets and finite-lived intangible assets for impairment, if there are indicators of impairment, and we determine that the asset is not recoverable from future undiscounted cash flows, an impairment charge is recorded for any excess of the carrying amount over the asset’s estimated fair value. For long-lived assets that we expect to dispose of prior to the end of their estimated useful lives, we record an impairment charge for any excess of the carrying value of the asset over the expected net proceeds from disposal. | |||||||||||||
If we determine, based upon the relevant events and circumstances and other such qualitative factors, that it is more likely than not that the “Shurgard” trade name is unimpaired, we do not record an impairment charge and no further analysis is performed. Otherwise, we record an impairment charge for any excess of carrying amount over quantitatively assessed fair value. | |||||||||||||
In evaluating goodwill for impairment, we first evaluate, based upon the relevant events and circumstances and other such qualitative factors, whether the fair value of the reporting unit that the goodwill pertains to is greater than its aggregate carrying amount. If based upon this evaluation it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is in excess of its aggregate carrying amount, no impairment charge is recorded and no further analysis is performed. Otherwise, we estimate the goodwill’s implied fair value based upon what would be allocated to goodwill if the reporting unit were acquired at estimated fair value in a transaction accounted for as a business combination, and record an impairment charge for any excess of book value over the goodwill’s implied fair value. | |||||||||||||
For our investments in unconsolidated real estate entities, if we determine that a decline in the estimated fair value of the investments below carrying amount is other than temporary, we record an impairment charge for any excess of carrying amount over the estimated fair value. | |||||||||||||
For our loan receivable from Shurgard Europe, if we determine that it is probable we will be unable to collect all amounts due based on the terms of the loan agreement, we record an impairment charge for any excess of book value over the present value of expected future cash flows. | |||||||||||||
No impairments were recorded in any of our evaluations for any period presented herein. | |||||||||||||
Revenue and Expense Recognition | |||||||||||||
Rental income, which is generally earned pursuant to month-to-month leases for storage space, as well as late charges and administrative fees, are recognized as earned. Promotional discounts reduce rental income over the promotional period. Ancillary revenues and interest and other income are recognized when earned. Equity in earnings of unconsolidated real estate entities represents our pro-rata share of the earnings of the Unconsolidated Real Estate Entities. | |||||||||||||
We accrue for property tax expense based upon actual amounts billed and, in some circumstances, estimates and historical trends when bills or assessments have not been received from the taxing authorities or such bills and assessments are in dispute. If these estimates are incorrect, the timing and amount of expense recognition could be incorrect. Cost of operations, general and administrative expense, interest expense, as well as television and other advertising expenditures are expensed as incurred. | |||||||||||||
Foreign Currency Exchange Translation | |||||||||||||
The local currency (primarily the Euro) is the functional currency for our interests in foreign operations. The related balance sheet amounts are translated into U.S. Dollars at the exchange rates at the respective financial statement date, while amounts on our statements of income are translated at the average exchange rates during the respective period. The Euro was translated at exchange rates of approximately 1.364 U.S. Dollars per Euro at June 30, 2014 (1.377 at December 31, 2013), and average exchange rates of 1.371 and 1.305 for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and average exchange rates of 1.371 and 1.313 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Cumulative translation adjustments, to the extent not included in cumulative net income, are included in equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). | |||||||||||||
Comprehensive Income (Loss) | |||||||||||||
Total comprehensive income (loss) represents net income, adjusted for changes in other comprehensive income (loss) for the applicable period. The aggregate foreign currency exchange gains and losses reflected on our statements of comprehensive income are comprised primarily of foreign currency exchange gains and losses on our investment in, and loan receivable from, Shurgard Europe. | |||||||||||||
Discontinued Operations | |||||||||||||
In April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) revised standards to limit the presentation as discontinued operations only to those facility disposals that represent a strategic shift and have a major impact upon operations, rather than to all facility disposals under previous standards. This change applies to disposals occurring after our early adoption date (as encouraged by the standard) of January 1, 2014. This change has no material impact on our financial statements. | |||||||||||||
Recent Accounting Pronouncements and Guidance | |||||||||||||
In May 2014, the FASB issued an accounting standard (ASU No. 2014-09), requiring an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. ASU No. 2014-09 will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective and permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The new standard is effective for us on January 1, 2017. Early adoption is not permitted. We have not yet selected a transition method and we are currently evaluating the effect that the new standard will have on our financial statements. | |||||||||||||
Net Income per Common Share | |||||||||||||
Net income is allocated to (i) noncontrolling interests based upon their share of the net income of the Subsidiaries, (ii) preferred shareholders, to the extent redemption cost exceeds the related original net issuance proceeds (an “EITF D-42 allocation”), and (iii) the remaining net income is allocated to each of our equity securities based upon the dividends declared or accumulated during the period, combined with participation rights in undistributed earnings. | |||||||||||||
Basic net income per share is computed using the weighted average common shares outstanding. Diluted net income per share is computed using the weighted average common shares outstanding, adjusted for the impact, if dilutive, of stock options outstanding (Note 10). | |||||||||||||
The following table reflects our net income allocable to common shareholders and the weighted average common shares and equivalents outstanding, as used in our calculations of basic and diluted net income per share: | |||||||||||||

During the six months ended June 30, 2014, we acquired six self-storage facilities from third parties (431,000 net rentable square feet), for a total cost of $37.1 million, consisting of $32.0 million in cash and loan assumption of $5.1 million. Approximately $3.1 million of the aggregate cost was allocated to intangible assets. We completed expansion and development activities during the six months ended June 30, 2014, adding 335,000 net rentable square feet of self-storage space, at an aggregate cost of $40.3 million. Construction in process at June 30, 2014, consists of projects to develop new self-storage facilities and expand existing self-storage facilities, which would add a total of 2.1 million net rentable square feet of storage space, for an aggregate estimated cost of approximately $242 million. We received approximately $1.3 million in disposition proceeds during the six months ended June 30, 2014. | ||||

At June 30, 2014, our investment in the Unconsolidated Real Estate Entities exceeds our pro rata share of the underlying equity by approximately $75 million. This differential is being amortized as a reduction in equity in earnings of the Unconsolidated Real Estate Entities based upon allocations to the underlying net assets. Such amortization was approximately $1.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2014. | |||||||||||||

5.Loan Receivable from Shurgard Europe | |
At December 31, 2013, we owned 100% of the shareholder loan due from Shurgard Europe, which had a balance of €311.0 million ($428.1million). On January 28, 2014, our joint venture partner in Shurgard Europe acquired a 51% interest in the loan at face value for €158.6 million ($216.2 million) in cash. As of June 30, 2014, we owned a 49% interest in the loan, which had a balance of €311.0 million ($424.3 million). | |
The loan bears interest at a fixed rate of 9.0% per annum and has no required principal payments until maturity in April 2019, but can be prepaid in part or in full at any time without penalty. | |
49% of the interest paid to us by Shurgard Europe is included in equity in earnings of Shurgard Europe, and the remaining amount paid to us is included in “interest and other income.” For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, we recorded interest income with respect to this loan of nil and approximately $1.5 million, respectively, as compared to $4.7 million and $9.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively. The reduction in amounts classified as interest and other income during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to the same periods in 2013, is due to the sale, on January 28, 2014 of 51% of the shareholder loan to our joint venture partner, who now collects 51% of the loan interest following the sale. | |
Based upon our continued expectation of repayment of the loan in the foreseeable future, we reflect changes in the U.S. Dollar equivalent of the amount due us, as a result of changes in foreign exchange rates as “foreign currency exchange gain (loss)” on our income statement. Shurgard Europe repaid the entire shareholder loan in July 2014 with financing proceeds received from third parties. | |
We believe that the interest rate on the loan approximates the market rate for loans with similar terms, conditions, subordination features, and tenor, and that the fair value of the loan approximates book value. In our evaluation of market rates and fair value, we considered that Shurgard Europe has sufficient operating cash flow, liquidity and collateral, and we have sufficient creditor rights such that credit risk is mitigated. | |

6.Credit Facility, Term Loan and Notes Payable | ||||||||
We have a $300 million revolving line of credit (the “Credit Facility”) that expires on March 21, 2017. Amounts drawn on the Credit Facility bear annual interest at rates ranging from LIBOR plus 0.900% to LIBOR plus 1.500% depending upon the ratio of our Total Indebtedness to Gross Asset Value (as defined in the Credit Facility) (LIBOR plus 0.900% at June 30, 2014). In addition, we are required to pay a quarterly facility fee ranging from 0.125% per annum to 0.300% per annum depending upon the ratio of our Total Indebtedness to our Gross Asset Value (0.125% per annum at June 30, 2014). At June 30, 2014 and August 4, 2014, we had no outstanding borrowings under this Credit Facility ($50.1 million at December 31, 2013). We had undrawn standby letters of credit, which reduce our borrowing capacity, totaling $14.1 million at June 30, 2014 and $15.1 million at December 31, 2013. The Credit Facility has various customary restrictive covenants, all of which we were in compliance with at June 30, 2014. | ||||||||
On December 2, 2013, we entered into a one year $700 million unsecured term loan (the “Term Loan”) with Wells Fargo Bank, the lead arranger for our Credit Facility. The Term Loan matures on December 2, 2014 and can be repaid in full or part at any time prior to its maturity without penalty. The interest rate and covenants on the Term Loan are the same as for the Credit Facility. At June 30, 2014, outstanding borrowings under this Term Loan totaled $322.0 million ($700.0 million at December 31, 2013), at an interest rate of 1.052%. As of August 4, 2014, outstanding balances under this Term Loan totaled $122.0 million. In connection with the Term Loan, we incurred origination costs of $1.9 million which are amortized over the one year period of the Term Loan using the effective interest method. As of June 30, 2014, we had $0.4 million ($1.8 million as of December 31, 2013) of unamortized loan costs. | ||||||||
The carrying amounts of our notes payable at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, totaled $75.0 million and $89.0 million, with unamortized premium totaling $0.6 million and $0.5 million. These notes were assumed in connection with business combinations and recorded at fair value with any premium or discount over the stated note balance amortized using the effective interest method. At June 30, 2014, the notes are secured by 41 real estate facilities with a net book value of approximately $188 million, have stated note rates between 2.9% and 7.1%, and mature between September 2014 and September 2028. | ||||||||
During the six months ended June 30, 2014, we assumed mortgage debt with an estimated fair value of $5.1 million and market rate of 3.6% (contractual balance of $4.8 million and contractual interest rate of 6.1%) in connection with the acquisition of a real estate facility. | ||||||||

The Hughes Family owns approximately 15.8% of our common shares outstanding at June 30, 2014. | |
The Hughes Family has ownership interests in, and operates, approximately 54 self-storage facilities in Canada (“PS Canada”) using the “Public Storage” brand name pursuant to a non-exclusive, royalty-free trademark license agreement with the Company. We currently do not own any interests in these facilities. We have a right of first refusal to acquire the stock or assets of the corporation that manages the 54 self-storage facilities in Canada, if the Hughes Family or the corporation agrees to sell them. We reinsure risks relating to loss of goods stored by customers in these facilities. During the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, we received $0.2 million and $0.3 million, respectively, in reinsurance premiums attributed to these facilities. There is no assurance that these premiums will continue, as our rights to reinsure these risks may be qualified. | |

10.Share-Based Compensation | |
Under various share-based compensation plans and under terms established by a committee of our Board of Trustees, the Company grants non-qualified options to purchase the Company’s common shares, as well as restricted share units (“RSUs”), to trustees, officers, service providers and key employees. | |
Stock options and RSUs are considered “granted” and “outstanding” as the terms are used herein, when i) the Company and the recipient reach a mutual understanding of the key terms of the award, ii) the award has been authorized, iii) the recipient is affected by changes in the market price of our stock, and iv) it is probable that any performance and service conditions will be met. | |
We amortize the grant-date fair value of awards (net of anticipated forfeitures) as compensation expense over the service period. The service period begins on the grant date and ends on the vesting date. For awards that are earned solely upon the passage of time and continued service, the entire cost of the award is amortized on a straight-line basis over the service period. For awards with performance conditions, the individual cost of each vesting is amortized separately over each individual service period (the “accelerated attribution” method). | |
Stock Options | |
Stock options vest over a three to five-year period, expire ten years after the grant date, and the exercise price is equal to the closing trading price of our common shares on the grant date. Employees cannot require the Company to settle their award in cash. We use the Black-Scholes option valuation model to estimate the fair value of our stock options. | |
Outstanding stock option grants are included on a one-for-one basis in our diluted weighted average shares, to the extent dilutive, after applying the treasury stock method (based upon the average common share price during the period) to assumed exercise proceeds and measured but unrecognized compensation. | |
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, we recorded $0.7 million and $1.3 million, respectively, in compensation expense related to stock options, as compared to $0.7 million and $1.4 million, for the same periods in 2013. | |
During the six months ended June 30, 2014, 235,000 stock options were granted, 472,725 options were exercised and 3,250 options were forfeited. A total of 1,933,236 stock options were outstanding at June 30, 2014 (2,174,211 at December 31, 2013). | |
Restricted Share Units | |
RSUs generally vest ratably over a three to eight-year period from the grant date. The grantee receives dividends for each outstanding RSU equal to the per-share dividends received by our common shareholders. We expense any dividends previously paid upon forfeiture of the related RSU. Upon vesting, the grantee receives common shares equal to the number of vested RSUs, less common shares withheld in exchange for tax deposits made by the Company to satisfy the grantee’s statutory tax liabilities arising from the vesting. | |
The fair value of our RSUs is determined based upon the applicable closing trading price of our common shares. | |
During the six months ended June 30, 2014, 187,107 RSUs were granted, 38,922 RSUs were forfeited and 152,482 RSUs vested. This vesting resulted in the issuance of 90,152 common shares. In addition, tax deposits totaling $10.4 million were made on behalf of employees in exchange for 62,330 common shares withheld upon vesting. | |
RSUs outstanding at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 were 632,032 and 636,329, respectively. A total of $6.4 million and $12.0 million in RSU expense was recorded for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, which include approximately $0.1 million and $1.1 million, respectively, in employer taxes incurred upon vesting, as compared to $6.3 million and $11.5 million for the same periods in 2013, respectively, which include approximately $0.1 million and $0.9 million, respectively, in employer taxes incurred upon vesting. | |

Segment Information | ' | ||||||||||||||
11.Segment Information | |||||||||||||||
Our reportable segments reflect the significant components of our operations that are evaluated separately by our chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) and have discrete financial information available. We organize our segments based primarily upon the nature of the underlying products and services, and whether the operation is located in the U.S. or outside the U.S. In making resource allocation decisions, our CODM considers the net income from continuing operations of each reportable segment included in the tables below, excluding the impact of depreciation and amortization, gains or losses on disposition of real estate facilities, and asset impairment charges. The amounts for each reportable segment included in the tables below are in conformity with GAAP and our significant accounting policies as denoted in Note 2. Ancillary revenues and expenses, interest and other income (other than from Shurgard Europe), interest expense, general and administrative expense and gains and losses on the early repayment of debt are not allocable to any of our reportable segments. Our CODM does not consider the book value of assets in making resource allocation decisions. | |||||||||||||||
Following is the description of and basis for presentation for each of our segments. | |||||||||||||||
Domestic Self-Storage Segment | |||||||||||||||
The Domestic Self-Storage Segment includes the operations of the 2,195 self-storage facilities owned by the Company and the Subsidiaries, as well as our equity share of the Other Investments. For all periods presented, substantially all of our real estate facilities, goodwill and other intangible assets, other assets, and accrued and other liabilities are associated with the Domestic Self-Storage Segment. | |||||||||||||||
European Self-Storage Segment | |||||||||||||||
The European Self-Storage segment comprises our interest in Shurgard Europe, which has a separate management team reporting directly to our CODM and our joint venture partner. The European Self-Storage segment includes our equity share of Shurgard Europe’s operations, the interest and other income received from Shurgard Europe, and foreign currency exchange gains and losses that are attributable to Shurgard Europe. Our balance sheet includes an investment in Shurgard Europe (Note 4) and a loan receivable from Shurgard Europe (Note 5). | |||||||||||||||
Commercial Segment | |||||||||||||||
The Commercial segment comprises our investment in PSB, a publicly-traded REIT with a separate management team that makes its financing, capital allocation and other significant decisions. The Commercial segment also includes our direct interest in certain commercial facilities, substantially all of which are managed by PSB. The Commercial segment presentation includes our equity earnings and interest income from PSB, as well as the revenues and expenses of our commercial facilities. At June 30, 2014, the assets of the Commercial segment are comprised principally of our investment in PSB (Note 4). | |||||||||||||||

12.Commitments and Contingencies | |
Contingent Losses | |
We are a party to various legal proceedings and subject to various claims and complaints; however, we believe that the likelihood of these contingencies resulting in a material loss to the Company, either individually or in the aggregate, is remote. | |
Insurance and Loss Exposure | |
We have historically carried customary property, earthquake, general liability, employee medical insurance and workers compensation coverage through internationally recognized insurance carriers, subject to customary levels of deductibles. The aggregate limits on these policies of approximately $75 million for property losses and $102 million for general liability losses are higher than estimates of maximum probable losses that could occur from individual catastrophic events determined in recent engineering and actuarial studies; however, in case of multiple catastrophic events, these limits could be exhausted. | |
We reinsure a program that provides insurance to our customers from an independent third-party insurer. This program covers tenant claims for losses to goods stored at our facilities as a result of specific named perils (earthquakes are not covered by this program), up to a maximum limit of $5,000 per storage unit. We reinsure all risks in this program, but purchase insurance from an independent third party insurance company for aggregate claims between $5.0 million and $15.0 million per occurrence. We are subject to licensing requirements and regulations in several states. At June 30, 2014, there were approximately 825,000 certificates held by our self-storage customers, representing aggregate coverage of approximately $2.0 billion. | |

On July 1, 2014, we acquired 25 properties, including 19 in Florida, three in Maryland and one each in North Carolina, New Jersey and Virginia containing in aggregate 1.8 million in net rentable square feet of self-storage space for approximately $240.0 million in cash. As of August 4, 2014, we were under contract to purchase four additional self-storage facilities with 0.4 million net rentable square feet of self-storage space for approximately $40 million. | |
In July 2014, Shurgard Europe fully repaid its €311.0 million shareholder loan with financing proceeds it received from third parties. We received a total of $205.0 million for our 49% share of the loan, based upon the foreign exchange rates at the date of repayment. During July 2014, we repaid $200.0 million on our Term Loan. | |

Basis of Presentation | |||||||||||||
The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) as defined in the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (the “Codification”), including guidance with respect to interim financial information and in conformity with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. While they do not include all of the disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements, we believe that we have included all adjustments (consisting of normal and recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2014 due to seasonality and other factors. These interim financial statements should be read together with the audited financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. | |||||||||||||
Consolidation And Equity Method Of Accounting | ' | ||||||||||||
Consolidation and Equity Method of Accounting | |||||||||||||
We consider entities to be Variable Interest Entities (“VIEs”) when they have insufficient equity to finance their activities without additional subordinated financial support provided by other parties, or where the equity holders as a group do not have a controlling financial interest. We have no investments or other involvement in any VIEs. | |||||||||||||
We consolidate all entities that we control (these entities, for the period in which the reference applies, are referred to collectively as the “Subsidiaries”), and we eliminate intercompany transactions and balances. We account for our investments in entities that we have significant influence over, but do not control, using the equity method of accounting (these entities, for the periods in which the reference applies, are referred to collectively as the “Unconsolidated Real Estate Entities”), eliminating intra-entity profits and losses and amortizing any differences between the cost and the underlying equity in net assets against equity in earnings as if the Unconsolidated Real Estate Entity were a consolidated subsidiary. When we obtain control of an Unconsolidated Real Estate Entity, we commence consolidating the entity and record a gain representing the differential between the book value and fair value of our preexisting equity interest. All changes in consolidation status are reflected prospectively. | |||||||||||||
When we are general partner, we control the partnership unless the third-party limited partners can dissolve the partnership or otherwise remove us as general partner without cause, or if the limited partners have the right to participate in substantive decisions of the partnership. | |||||||||||||
Collectively, at June 30, 2014, the Company and the Subsidiaries own 2,194 self-storage facilities in the U.S., one self-storage facility in London, England and six commercial facilities in the U.S. At June 30, 2014, the Unconsolidated Real Estate Entities are comprised of PSB, Shurgard Europe, as well as limited partnerships that own an aggregate of 14 self-storage facilities in the U.S. (these limited partnerships, for the periods in which the reference applies, are referred to as the “Other Investments”). | |||||||||||||

Use of Estimates | |||||||||||||
The financial statements and accompanying notes reflect our estimates and assumptions. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions. | |||||||||||||
Income Taxes | ' | ||||||||||||
Income Taxes | |||||||||||||
We have elected to be treated as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”), as defined in the Internal Revenue Code. As a REIT, we do not incur federal income tax if we distribute 100% of our REIT taxable income (generally, net rents and gains from real property, dividends, and interest) each year, and if we meet certain organizational and operational rules. We believe we will meet these REIT requirements in 2014, and that we have met them for all other periods presented herein. Accordingly, we have recorded no federal income tax expense related to our REIT taxable income. | |||||||||||||
Our merchandise and tenant reinsurance operations are subject to corporate income tax and such taxes are included in ancillary cost of operations. We also incur income and other taxes in certain states, which are included in general and administrative expense. | |||||||||||||
We recognize tax benefits of uncertain income tax positions that are subject to audit only if we believe it is more likely than not that the position would ultimately be sustained assuming the relevant taxing authorities had full knowledge of the relevant facts and circumstances of our positions. As of June 30, 2014, we had no tax benefits that were not recognized. | |||||||||||||
Real Estate Facilities | ' | ||||||||||||
Real Estate Facilities | |||||||||||||
Real estate facilities are recorded at cost. We capitalize all costs incurred to develop, construct, renovate and improve properties, including interest and property taxes incurred during the construction period. We expense internal and external transaction costs associated with acquisitions or dispositions of real estate, as well as repairs and maintenance costs, as incurred. We depreciate buildings and improvements on a straight-line basis over estimated useful lives ranging generally between 5 to 25 years. | |||||||||||||
We allocate the net acquisition cost of acquired operating self-storage facilities to the underlying land, buildings, identified intangible assets, and remaining noncontrolling interests based upon their respective individual estimated fair values. Any difference between the net acquisition cost and the estimated fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. | |||||||||||||
Other Assets | ' | ||||||||||||
Other Assets | |||||||||||||
Other assets primarily consist of prepaid expenses, accounts receivable, land held for sale and restricted cash. | |||||||||||||
Accrued And Other Liabilities | ' | ||||||||||||
Accrued and Other Liabilities | |||||||||||||
Accrued and other liabilities consist primarily of trade payables, property tax accruals, tenant prepayments of rents, accrued interest payable, accrued payroll, accrued tenant reinsurance losses, casualty losses, and contingent loss accruals which are accrued when probable and estimable. We disclose the nature of significant unaccrued losses that are reasonably possible of occurring and, if estimable, a range of exposure. | |||||||||||||
Cash Equivalents, Marketable Securities And Other Financial Instruments | ' | ||||||||||||
Cash Equivalents, Marketable Securities and Other Financial Instruments | |||||||||||||
Cash equivalents represent highly liquid financial instruments such as money market funds with daily liquidity or short-term commercial paper or treasury securities maturing within three months of acquisition. Cash and cash equivalents which are restricted from general corporate use are included in other assets. Commercial paper not maturing within three months of acquisition, which we intend and have the capacity to hold until maturity, are included in marketable securities and accounted for using the effective interest method. Transfers of financial assets are recorded as sales when the asset is put presumptively beyond our and our creditors’ reach, there is no impediment to the transferee’s right to pledge or exchange the asset, we have surrendered effective control of the asset, we have no actual or effective right or requirement to repurchase the asset and, in the case of a transfer of a participating interest, there is no impediment to our right to pledge or exchange the participating interest we retain. | |||||||||||||
Fair Value Accounting | ' | ||||||||||||
Fair Value Accounting | |||||||||||||
As used herein, the term “fair value” is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. We prioritize the inputs used in measuring fair value based upon a three-tier hierarchy described in Codification Section 820-10-35. | |||||||||||||
We believe that, during all periods presented, the carrying values approximate the fair values of our cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, other assets, and accrued and other liabilities, based upon our evaluation of the underlying characteristics, market data, and short maturity of these financial instruments, which involved considerable judgment. The estimated fair values are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that could be realized in current market exchanges. The characteristics of these financial instruments, market data, and other comparative metrics utilized in determining these fair values are “Level 2” inputs as the term is defined in Codification Section 820-10-35-47. | |||||||||||||
We use significant judgment to estimate fair values in recording our business combinations, to evaluate real estate, investments in unconsolidated real estate entities, goodwill, and other intangible assets for impairment, and to determine the fair values of notes payable and receivable. In estimating fair values, we consider significant unobservable inputs such as market prices of land, market capitalization rates and earnings multiples for real estate facilities, projected levels of earnings, costs of construction, functional depreciation, and market interest rates for debt securities with a similar time to maturity and credit quality, which are “Level 3” inputs as the term is defined in Codification Section 820-10-35-52. | |||||||||||||
Currency And Credit Risk | ' | ||||||||||||
Currency and Credit Risk | |||||||||||||
Financial assets that are exposed to credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, loans receivable, and restricted cash. Cash equivalents and marketable securities we invest in are either money market funds with a rating of at least AAA by Standard and Poor’s, commercial paper that is rated A1 by Standard and Poor’s or deposits with highly rated commercial banks. | |||||||||||||
At June 30, 2014, due primarily to our investment in and loan receivable from Shurgard Europe, our operating results and financial position are affected by fluctuations in currency exchange rates between the Euro, and to a lesser extent, other European currencies, against the U.S. Dollar. | |||||||||||||
Goodwill And Other Intangible Assets | ' | ||||||||||||
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets | |||||||||||||
Intangible assets are comprised of goodwill, the “Shurgard” trade name, acquired customers in place, and leasehold interests in land. | |||||||||||||
Goodwill totaled $174.6 million at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013. The “Shurgard” trade name, which is used by Shurgard Europe pursuant to a fee-based licensing agreement, has a book value of $18.8 million at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013. Goodwill and the “Shurgard” trade name have indefinite lives and are not amortized. | |||||||||||||
Acquired customers in place and leasehold interests in land are finite-lived and are amortized relative to the benefit of the customers in place or the land lease expense to each period. At June 30, 2014, these intangibles have a net book value of $31.6 million ($53.4 million at December 31, 2013). Accumulated amortization totaled $50.8 million at June 30, 2014 ($35.1 million at December 31, 2013), and amortization expense of $24.8 million and $4.7 million was recorded in the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The estimated future amortization expense for our finite-lived intangible assets at June 30, 2014 is $13.5 million in the remainder of 2014, $9.2 million in 2015 and $8.9 million thereafter. During the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, intangibles were increased $3.1 million and $0.6 million, respectively, in connection with the acquisition of self-storage facilities and leasehold interests. | |||||||||||||
Evaluation Of Asset Impairment | ' | ||||||||||||
Evaluation of Asset Impairment | |||||||||||||
We evaluate our real estate, finite-lived intangible assets, investments in unconsolidated real estate entities, and loan receivable from Shurgard Europe for impairment on a quarterly basis. We evaluate indefinite-lived assets (including goodwill) for impairment on an annual basis, or more often if there are indicators of impairment. | |||||||||||||
In evaluating our real estate assets and finite-lived intangible assets for impairment, if there are indicators of impairment, and we determine that the asset is not recoverable from future undiscounted cash flows, an impairment charge is recorded for any excess of the carrying amount over the asset’s estimated fair value. For long-lived assets that we expect to dispose of prior to the end of their estimated useful lives, we record an impairment charge for any excess of the carrying value of the asset over the expected net proceeds from disposal. | |||||||||||||
If we determine, based upon the relevant events and circumstances and other such qualitative factors, that it is more likely than not that the “Shurgard” trade name is unimpaired, we do not record an impairment charge and no further analysis is performed. Otherwise, we record an impairment charge for any excess of carrying amount over quantitatively assessed fair value. | |||||||||||||
In evaluating goodwill for impairment, we first evaluate, based upon the relevant events and circumstances and other such qualitative factors, whether the fair value of the reporting unit that the goodwill pertains to is greater than its aggregate carrying amount. If based upon this evaluation it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is in excess of its aggregate carrying amount, no impairment charge is recorded and no further analysis is performed. Otherwise, we estimate the goodwill’s implied fair value based upon what would be allocated to goodwill if the reporting unit were acquired at estimated fair value in a transaction accounted for as a business combination, and record an impairment charge for any excess of book value over the goodwill’s implied fair value. | |||||||||||||
For our investments in unconsolidated real estate entities, if we determine that a decline in the estimated fair value of the investments below carrying amount is other than temporary, we record an impairment charge for any excess of carrying amount over the estimated fair value. | |||||||||||||
For our loan receivable from Shurgard Europe, if we determine that it is probable we will be unable to collect all amounts due based on the terms of the loan agreement, we record an impairment charge for any excess of book value over the present value of expected future cash flows. | |||||||||||||
No impairments were recorded in any of our evaluations for any period presented herein. | |||||||||||||
Revenue And Expense Recognition | ' | ||||||||||||
Revenue and Expense Recognition | |||||||||||||
Rental income, which is generally earned pursuant to month-to-month leases for storage space, as well as late charges and administrative fees, are recognized as earned. Promotional discounts reduce rental income over the promotional period. Ancillary revenues and interest and other income are recognized when earned. Equity in earnings of unconsolidated real estate entities represents our pro-rata share of the earnings of the Unconsolidated Real Estate Entities. | |||||||||||||
We accrue for property tax expense based upon actual amounts billed and, in some circumstances, estimates and historical trends when bills or assessments have not been received from the taxing authorities or such bills and assessments are in dispute. If these estimates are incorrect, the timing and amount of expense recognition could be incorrect. Cost of operations, general and administrative expense, interest expense, as well as television and other advertising expenditures are expensed as incurred. | |||||||||||||
Foreign Currency Exchange Translation | ' | ||||||||||||
Foreign Currency Exchange Translation | |||||||||||||
The local currency (primarily the Euro) is the functional currency for our interests in foreign operations. The related balance sheet amounts are translated into U.S. Dollars at the exchange rates at the respective financial statement date, while amounts on our statements of income are translated at the average exchange rates during the respective period. The Euro was translated at exchange rates of approximately 1.364 U.S. Dollars per Euro at June 30, 2014 (1.377 at December 31, 2013), and average exchange rates of 1.371 and 1.305 for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and average exchange rates of 1.371 and 1.313 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Cumulative translation adjustments, to the extent not included in cumulative net income, are included in equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). | |||||||||||||
Comprehensive Income (Loss) | ' | ||||||||||||
Comprehensive Income (Loss) | |||||||||||||
Total comprehensive income (loss) represents net income, adjusted for changes in other comprehensive income (loss) for the applicable period. The aggregate foreign currency exchange gains and losses reflected on our statements of comprehensive income are comprised primarily of foreign currency exchange gains and losses on our investment in, and loan receivable from, Shurgard Europe. | |||||||||||||
Discontinued Operations | ' | ||||||||||||
Discontinued Operations | |||||||||||||
In April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) revised standards to limit the presentation as discontinued operations only to those facility disposals that represent a strategic shift and have a major impact upon operations, rather than to all facility disposals under previous standards. This change applies to disposals occurring after our early adoption date (as encouraged by the standard) of January 1, 2014. This change has no material impact on our financial statements. | |||||||||||||
Net Income Per Common Share | ' | ||||||||||||
Net Income per Common Share | |||||||||||||
Net income is allocated to (i) noncontrolling interests based upon their share of the net income of the Subsidiaries, (ii) preferred shareholders, to the extent redemption cost exceeds the related original net issuance proceeds (an “EITF D-42 allocation”), and (iii) the remaining net income is allocated to each of our equity securities based upon the dividends declared or accumulated during the period, combined with participation rights in undistributed earnings. | |||||||||||||
Basic net income per share is computed using the weighted average common shares outstanding. Diluted net income per share is computed using the weighted average common shares outstanding, adjusted for the impact, if dilutive, of stock options outstanding (Note 10). | |||||||||||||
