News Release Exhibit 99.1 Public Storage, Inc. 701 Western Avenue Glendale, CA 91201-2349 www.publicstorage.com - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For Release: Immediately Date: July 29, 2005 Contact: Mr. Clemente Teng (818) 244-8080 Public Storage, Inc. Reports Results for the Second Quarter Ended June 30, 2005 GLENDALE, California -Public Storage, Inc. (NYSE and PCX: PSA), announced today operating results for the quarter ended June 30, 2005. OPERATING RESULTS FOR THE QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30, 2005: Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2005 was $108,266,000 compared to $92,360,000 for the same period in 2004, representing an increase of $15,906,000, or 17.2%. This increase is primarily due to improved operations from our self-storage facilities, improved tenant reinsurance operations, and a decrease in income allocated to preferred minority interests due to the redemption of our preferred units in the first quarter of 2005. These items were partially offset by increases in general and administrative, depreciation and interest expense. Net income allocable to our common shareholders (after allocating net income to our preferred and equity shareholders) was $60,763,000 or $0.47 per common share on a diluted basis for the three months ended June 30, 2005 compared to $48,204,000 or $0.37 per common share on a diluted basis for the same period in 2004, representing an increase of $0.10 per common share, or 27.0%. The increases in net income allocable to common shareholders and earnings per common diluted share are due primarily to the impact of the factors described above. Weighted average diluted shares increased to 128,618,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2005 from 128,548,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2004, due primarily to the exercise of employee stock options. For the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, we allocated $42,147,000 and $38,780,000 of our net income, respectively, to our preferred shareholders based on distributions paid. OPERATING RESULTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2005: Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2005 was $204,677,000 compared to $161,427,000 for the same period in 2004, representing an increase of $43,250,000, or 26.8%. This increase is primarily due to improved operations from our self-storage facilities, improved tenant reinsurance operations, an increase in equity in earnings of real estate entities, and a decrease in income allocated to preferred minority interests. These items were partially offset by increases in general and administrative, depreciation and interest expense. Minority interest in income declined primarily due to a reduction in redemption and restructuring costs associated with preferred partnership units and a reduction in rates on preferred issues. We allocated income to minority interests pursuant to Emerging Issues Task Force Topic D-42 ("EITF Topic D-42") totaling $874,000 and $2,063,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. In addition, we allocated $8.0 million to preferred minority interests in the quarter ended March 31, 2004 as a result of a special distribution associated with a restructuring. Net income allocable to our common shareholders (after allocating net income to our preferred and equity shareholders) was $109,482,000 or $0.85 per common share on a diluted basis for the six months ended June 30, 2005 compared to $70,131,000 or $0.55 per common share on a diluted basis for the same period in 2004, representing an increase of $0.30 per common share, or 54.5%. The increases in net income allocable to common shareholders and earnings per common diluted share are due primarily to the impact of the factors described above. Weighted average diluted shares increased to 128,895,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2005 from 128,375,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2004, due primarily to the exercise of employee stock options. For the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, we allocated $82,560,000 and $76,822,000 of our net income, respectively, to our preferred shareholders based on distributions paid. We also recorded allocations of income to our preferred shareholders with respect to the application of Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") Topic D-42 totaling $1,904,000 (or $0.01 per common share) and $3,723,000 (or $0.03 per common share) for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. 1 FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS: For the three months ended June 30, 2005, funds from operations ("FFO") increased to $0.90 per common share on a diluted basis as compared to $0.77 for the same period in 2004, representing an increase of $0.13 per common share, or 16.9%. For the six months ended June 30, 2005, FFO increased to $1.69 per common share on a diluted basis as compared to $1.35 for the same period in 2004, representing an increase of $0.34 per common share, or 25.2%. For the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, FFO has been negatively impacted as a result of i) the application of EITF Topic D-42 in connection with the redemption of preferred securities and, ii) in the case of the first quarter of 2004, the payment of a special distribution to certain preferred unit holders in connection with the restructure of the securities. The following table provides a summary of the impact of these items that have occurred during the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004: Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, ---------------------------------- ---------------------------------- Percentage Percentage 2005 2004 Change 2005 2004 Change ---------- --------- ---------- -------- -------- ----------- FFO per common share prior to adjustments for the following items................... $ 0.90 $ 0.77 16.9% $ 1.71 $ 1.46 17.1% Application of EITF Topic D-42 in connection with our redemption of preferred securities...................... - - (0.02) (0.05) Special distribution paid to preferred unitholders in connection with restructuring the terms of the units...... - - - (0.06) ---------- --------- ---------- -------- -------- ----------- FFO per common share, as reported ........ $ 0.90 $ 0.77 16.9% $ 1.69 $ 1.35 25.2% ========== ========= ========== ======== ======== =========== In addition, FFO per common share for the six months ended June 30, 2005 includes the impact of a gain on the sale of non-real estate assets previously used by our containerized storage business, totaling approximately $1,143,000 ($0.01 per share), which occurred during the first quarter of 2005. FFO is a term defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts. FFO is a supplemental non-GAAP financial disclosure and it is generally defined as net income before depreciation and does not include gains or losses on the disposition of real estate assets. FFO computations do not consider our scheduled principal payments on debt, capital improvements, distributions, or other obligations of the Company. FFO is not a substitute for our cash flow or net income as a measure of our liquidity or operating performance or our ability to pay dividends. Other REITs may not compute FFO in the same manner; accordingly, FFO may not be comparable among REITs. FFO is presented because management and many analysts consider FFO to be one measure of the performance of real estate companies and because we believe that FFO is helpful to investors as an additional measure of performance of a REIT. See the attached reconciliation of net income to funds from operations included in the selected financial data attached to this press release. PROPERTY OPERATIONS: We derive substantially all of our revenues from the ownership and management of self-storage facilities. In order to evaluate the performance of our overall self-storage portfolio, we analyze the operating performance of our stabilized self-storage facilities. At June 30, 2005, our "Same Store" portfolio consists of 1,269 facilities, which represents the facilities that we have consolidated in our financial statements and have been operating on a stabilized basis throughout 2003, 2004, and the first six months of 2005. The following table summarizes the pre-depreciation historical operating results of the Same Store facilities: 2 Selected Operating Data for the Same Store Facilities (1,269 Facilities): - ------------------------------ Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, --------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------- Percentage Percentage 2005 2004 Change 2005 2004 Change ------------- ------------- ---------- ------------ ------------- ---------- (Dollar amounts in thousands, except weighted average data) Revenues: Rental income, net of discounts............ $ 194,292 $ 185,905 4.5% $ 383,799 $ 366,515 4.7% Late charges and administrative fees collected.......................... 8,939 8,118 10.1% 17,438 16,287 7.1% ------------- ------------- ---------- ------------ ------------- ---------- Total revenues (a)......................... 203,231 194,023 4.7% 401,237 382,802 4.8% Cost of operations: Payroll expense............................ 20,988 20,437 2.7% 42,132 41,100 2.5% Property taxes ............................ 18,134 17,539 3.4% 37,926 36,726 3.3% Advertising and promotion.................. 6,783 5,519 22.9% 12,627 11,087 13.9% Repairs and maintenance.................... 6,341 6,744 (6.0)% 13,027 12,793 1.8% Utilities.................................. 3,762 3,824 (1.6)% 8,262 7,897 4.6% Property insurance......................... 2,241 2,385 (6.0)% 4,253 4,724 (10.0)% Telephone reservation center............... 2,039 2,895 (29.6)% 3,791 5,655 (33.0)% Other costs of management.................. 7,105 7,379 (3.7)% 15,128 14,744 2.6% ------------- ------------- ---------- ------------ ------------- ---------- Total cost of operations (a)................. 67,393 66,722 1.0% 137,146 134,726 1.8% ------------- ------------- ---------- ------------ ------------- ---------- Net operating income (before depreciation) .... $ 135,838 $ 127,301 6.7% $ 264,091 $ 248,076 6.5% ============= ============= ========== ============ ============= ========== Gross margin................................... 66.8% 65.6% 1.8% 65.8% 64.8% 1.5% Weighted average for the period: Square foot occupancy (b).................... 92.1% 91.5% 0.7% 91.0% 90.6% 0.4% Realized annual rent per occupied square $ 11.42 $ 11.00 3.8% $ 11.41 $ 10.95 4.2% foot (c)....................................

Revenues and cost of operations do not include revenues and expenses generated at the facilities with respect to tenant reinsurance, retail sales and truck rentals. b) Square foot occupancies represent weighted average occupancy levels over the entire period. c) Realized annual rent per occupied square foot is computed by dividing annualized rental income, net of discounts, by the weighted average occupied square footage for the period. Realized annual rent per occupied square foot takes into consideration promotional discounts, bad debt costs, credit card fees and other costs that reduce rental income from the contractual amounts due. Realized annual rent per occupied square foot excludes late charges and administrative fees collected, and it is presented because we believe annual realized rent per occupied square foot is an important measure of our operations. d) Annualized rental income per available square foot ("REVPAF") represents annualized rental income, net of discounts, divided by total available net rentable square feet. REVPAF excludes late charges and administrative fees collected. REVPAF is presented because we believe it is useful in evaluating our operations. e) In place annual rent per occupied square foot represents annualized contractual rents per occupied square foot without reductions for promotional discounts, and excludes late charges and administrative fees. 3 The growth in rental income during the remainder of 2005 will depend upon various factors, including our ability to maintain high occupancy levels, and increase rental rates charged to both new and existing customers. The following table summarizes additional selected financial data with respect to our Same Store facilities: Three Months Ended ----------------------------------------------------------- March 31 June 30 September 30 December 31 Full Year ----------- ------------ ------------ ------------ --------- Media advertising expense (in 000's): 2004..................................... $ 3,293 $ 1,959 $ 1,989 $ 3,061 $ 10,302 2005..................................... $ 3,525 $ 2,942 REVPAF: 2004..................................... $ 9.77 $ 10.06 $ 10.32 $ 10.27 $ 10.11 2005..................................... $ 10.26 $ 10.51 Weighted average realized annual rent per occupied square foot for the period: 2004..................................... $ 10.90 $ 11.00 $ 11.23 $ 11.31 $ 11.10 2005..................................... $ 11.41 $ 11.42 Weighted average square foot occupancy levels for the period: 2004..................................... 89.7% 91.5% 91.9% 90.8% 91.0% 2005..................................... 89.9% 92.1% DEVELOPMENT, ACQUISITION AND DISPOSITION ACTIVITIES: During the second quarter of 2005, we opened one newly developed facility at a total cost of $6.7 million with 74,000 net rentable square feet. We also completed two expansions to convert space at former containerized storage facilities into self-storage space at a total cost of $4.9 million, adding 106,000 net rentable square feet of self-storage space. We also completed an expansion of an existing self-storage facility at an aggregate cost of $2,417,000 (which includes a land component of approximately $616,000), adding 34,000 net rentable square feet of storage space. At June 30, 2005, there were 48 projects that were either under construction or were expected to begin construction generally within the next year, comprised of seven newly developed self-storage facilities (555,000 net rentable square feet) with total estimated cost of $81.2 million, 25 projects (1,478,000 net additional rentable square feet) which expand existing self-storage facilities and enhance their visual appeal for a total estimated cost of $111.0 million, and 16 projects (1,215,000 net rentable square feet) to convert space at former containerized storage facilities into self-storage space for a total estimated cost of $45.3 million. These projects will be fully funded by us. Opening dates for these facilities are estimated through the next 24 months. The development of these facilities is subject to various risks and contingencies. During the second quarter of 2005, we acquired eight facilities from third parties, with an aggregate of 570,000 net rentable square feet, for an aggregate cost of approximately $58.7 million in cash. These acquisitions were funded entirely by us. In addition to the facilities acquired in the quarter ended June 30, 2005, we acquired three additional facilities for approximately $18.2 million with 235,000 net rentable square feet between July 1, 2005 and July 28, 2005. Also, at July 29, 2005, we are under contract to acquire 11 additional facilities (total approximate net rentable square feet of 886,000) at an aggregate cost of approximately $119.4 million. We anticipate that these acquisitions will be funded entirely by us. Each of these contracts is subject to significant contingencies, and there is no assurance that any of these facilities will be acquired. During the second quarter of 2005, we acquired a minority interest in two of the Consolidated Entities for an aggregate acquisition cost of approximately $32.4 million in cash. During July 2005, in an eminent domain proceeding, one of our self-storage facilities located in the Portland, Oregon market was condemned. We expect to receive the proceeds from the disposal of this facility during the third quarter of 2005, at which time a gain of approximately $5 million will be recorded. This facility has been reclassified as "discontinued operations" on our June 30, 2005 income statement and "real estate held for disposition" on our balance sheet. 4 ISSUANCE OF PREFERRED SECURITIES: On April 27, 2005, we issued 5,650,000 depositary shares, with each depositary share representing 1/1,000 of a share of 6.75% Cumulative Preferred Stock, Series E. The offering resulted in approximately $141.3 million of gross proceeds. COMMON STOCK ACTIVITY: As previously reported, the Board of Directors has authorized the repurchase of up to 25,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock. During the quarter ended June 30, 2005, 32,000 shares were repurchased for approximately $2,019,000. No additional shares were repurchased between July 1, 2005 and July 29, 2005.

Discontinued operations includes a gain on sale of non-real estate assets previously used by the discontinued containerized storage operations totaling approximately $1,143,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2005. (b) On March 17, 2005, we redeemed all outstanding 9.5% Series N ($40,000,000) preferred units and on March 29, 2005 we redeemed all outstanding 9.125% Series O ($45,000,000) preferred units. In accordance with the SEC's clarification of EITF Topic D-42, we allocated $874,000 to minority 6 interests, representing costs incurred when these units were originally issued. As previously reported, in the first quarter of 2004 the holders of $200 million of the Series N preferred units agreed, in exchange for a special distribution of $8.0 million, to a reduction in the distribution rate on their preferred units from 9.50% per year to 6.40% per year, effective March 22, 2004. This $8.0 million special distribution was reflected as minority interest in income in the six months ended June 30, 2004, along with $2,063,000 in costs incurred when the $200 million in units were originally issued, in accordance with EITF Topic D-42. The ongoing distributions reflect a partial period for the time the units were outstanding during each period. (c) The increase in weighted average common share - basic and diluted was due primarily to the issuance of an aggregate of approximately 2,155,000 shares of common stock in connection with the exercise of employee stock options and vesting of restricted stock units since January 1, 2004, offset partially by the repurchase and retirement of an aggregate of approximately 1,166,000 shares of common stock since January 1, 2004. 7 PUBLIC STORAGE, INC.

It is generally defined as net income before depreciation with respect to real estate assets and gains and losses on real estate assets. FFO is presented because management and many analysts consider FFO to be one measure of the performance of real estate companies and because we believe that FFO is helpful to investors as an additional measure of the performance of a REIT. FFO computations do not consider scheduled principal payments on debt, capital improvements, distribution, and other obligations of the Company. FFO is not a substitute for our cash flow or net income as a measure of our liquidity or operating performance or our ability to pay dividends. Other REITs may not compute FFO in the same manner; accordingly, FFO may not be comparable among REITs. (b) On March 17, 2005, we redeemed all outstanding 9.5% Series N ($40,000,000) preferred units, and on March 29, 2005 we redeemed all outstanding 9.125% Series O ($45,000,000) preferred units and, in accordance with the SEC's clarification of EITF Topic D-42, we allocated $874,000 to minority interests, representing costs incurred when these units were originally issued. As previously reported, in the first quarter of 2004 the holders of $200 million of the Series N preferred units agreed, in exchange for a special distribution of $8.0 million, to a reduction in the distribution rate on their preferred units from 9.50% per year to 6.40% per year, effective March 22, 2004. This $8.0 million special distribution was reflected as minority interest in income in the six months ended June 30, 2004, along with $2,063,000 in costs incurred when the $200 million in units were originally issued, in accordance with EITF Topic D-42. The ongoing distributions reflect a partial period for the time the units were outstanding during each period. (c) FFO per common share for the six months ended June 30, 2005 was positively impacted by a gain on sale of non-real estate assets previously used by our discontinued containerized storage business totaling approximately $1,143,000 or $0.01 per common share for the quarter ended March 31, 2005. 9 Public Storage, Inc.

The distribution payout ratio is computed by dividing the distribution paid to common shareholders by FAD. FAD is presented because many analysts consider it to be a measure of the performance of real estate companies and because we believe that FAD is helpful to investors as an additional measure of the performance of a REIT.
