Exhibit 99.1 News Release Public Storage, Inc. 701 Western Avenue Glendale, CA 91201-2349 www.publicstorage.com - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For Release: Immediately Date: February 6, 2006 Contact: Mr. Clemente Teng (818) 244-8080 PUBLIC STORAGE, INC. REPORTS RESULTS FOR THE FOURTH QUARTER AND YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2005 GLENDALE, California -Public Storage, Inc. (NYSE and PCX:PSA) announced today operating results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2005. OPERATING RESULTS FOR THE QUARTER ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2005: - ---------------------------------------------------------- Net income for the three months ended December 31, 2005 was $123,372,000 compared to $107,271,000 for the same period in 2004, representing an increase of $16,101,000, or 15%. This increase is primarily due to improved operations from our Same Store, newly developed and acquired self-storage facilities, a gain on the disposition of real estate assets, reduced minority interest in income and higher interest income. These items were partially offset by increases in general and administrative expense, depreciation and interest expense along with a decrease from equity in earnings of real estate entities. Net operating income (before depreciation) for our Same Store facilities increased by 9.4% as a result of a 5.0% improvement in revenues combined with a 3.4% reduction in cost of operations. Equity in earnings of real estate entities was lower in the fourth quarter of 2005 as compared to the same period in 2004 primarily due to a gain recorded in 2004 as a result of the sale of real estate recorded by one of the entities in which we have an interest. General and administrative expense increased due to higher stock option and legal expenses in 2005 combined with an adjustment to a legal accrual that reduced general and administrative expense in the fourth quarter of 2004. Net income allocable to our common shareholders (after allocating net income to our preferred and equity stock shareholders) was $65,651,000 or $0.51 per common share on a diluted basis for the three months ended December 31, 2005 compared to $59,335,000 or $0.46 per common share on a diluted basis for the same period in 2004, representing an increase of $0.05 per common share, or 11%. The increases in net income allocable to our common shareholders and net income per common share on a diluted basis are due primarily to the impact of the factors described above with respect to the increase in net income partially offset by increased income allocated to our preferred shareholders, due to the factors described below. Weighted average diluted shares decreased to 128,743,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2005 from 129,088,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2004. For the three months ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, we allocated $46,731,000 and $40,632,000 of our net income, respectively, to our preferred shareholders based on distributions paid. The year-over-year increase is due to the issuance of additional preferred securities, partially offset by the redemption of preferred securities that had higher dividend rates than the newly preferred securities issued. For the three months ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, we also recorded an additional allocation of net income to our preferred shareholders and a corresponding reduction of net income allocation to our common shareholders of $5,634,000 (or $0.04 per common share) and $1,929,000 (or $0.01 per common share), respectively, pursuant to Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") Topic D-42 in connection with the redemption of preferred securities. OPERATING RESULTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2005: - ------------------------------------------------------- Net income for the year ended December 31, 2005 was $456,393,000 compared to $366,213,000 for the same period in 2004, representing an increase of $90,180,000, or 25%. This increase is primarily due to improved operations from our Same Store, newly developed and acquired self-storage facilities, reduced minority interest in income, increased gains on the disposition of real estate assets and higher interest income. These items were partially offset by increases in depreciation, general and administrative expense, and interest expense. Net operating income (before depreciation) for our Same Store facilities increased by 7.2% as a result of a 4.9% improvement in revenues offset partially by a 0.5% increase in cost of operations. Minority interest in income declined primarily due to a reduction in redemption and restructuring costs associated with preferred partnership units in 2004 combined with the redemption of preferred partnership units during 2005. General and administrative expense increased due to higher stock option and legal expenses in 2005 combined with an adjustment to a legal accrual that reduced general and administrative expense in 2004. Interest expense increased primarily as a result of increased debt levels. 1 We allocated income to minority interests pursuant to EITF Topic D-42 totaling $874,000 and $2,063,000 for the year ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. In addition, during the year ended December 31, 2004, we allocated $8.0 million to preferred minority interests 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 stock shareholders) was $254,395,000 or $1.97 per common share on a diluted basis for the year ended December 31, 2005 compared to $178,063,000 or $1.38 per common share on a diluted basis for the same period in 2004, representing an increase of $0.59 per common share, or 43%. The increases in net income allocable to common shareholders and net income per common diluted share are due primarily to the impact of the factors described above with respect to the increase in net income, partially offset by an increase in net income allocated to our preferred shareholders. Weighted average diluted shares increased to 128,819,000 for the year ended December 31, 2005 from 128,681,000 for the year ended December 31, 2004. For the year ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, we allocated $173,017,000 and $157,925,000 of our net income, respectively, to our preferred shareholders based on distributions paid. The year-over-year increase is due to the issuance of additional preferred securities, partially offset by the redemption of preferred securities at higher dividend rates than the newly preferred securities issued. We also recorded allocations of income to our preferred shareholders with respect to the application of EITF Topic D-42 totaling $7,538,000 (or $0.06 per common share) and $8,724,000 (or $0.07 per common share) for the year ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS: - ---------------------- For the three months ended December 31, 2005, funds from operations ("FFO") increased to $0.96 per common share on a diluted basis as compared to $0.82 for the same period in 2004, representing an increase of $0.14 per common share, or 17.1%. For the year ended December 31, 2005, FFO increased to $3.61 per common share on a diluted basis as compared to $2.93 for the same period in 2004, representing an increase of $0.68 per common share, or 23.2%. Comparisons of FFO per common share for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 have been impacted as a result of (i) the application of EITF Topic D-42 in connection with the redemption of preferred securities, including amounts in equity in earnings of real estate entities, (ii) a payment of a special distribution to certain preferred unitholders in connection with the restructure of the securities in the first quarter of 2004, (iii) an approximately $1,250,000 reduction to a legal accrual in the fourth quarter of 2004 as a result of resolution of a legal matter, (iv) the impact of an approximately $1,143,000 gain on the sale, in the first quarter of 2005, of non-real estate assets previously used by our containerized storage business and (v) losses incurred in our tenant reinsurance business, as well as property casualty losses, caused by hurricanes. The following table provides a summary of the impact of these items that have occurred during the three months and year ended December 31, 2005 and 2004: Three Months Ended December 31, Year Ended December 31, ---------------------------------- ---------------------------------- Percentage Percentage 2005 2004 Change 2005 2004 Change ----------- --------- ---------- --------- ----------- ---------- FFO per common share, as reported....... $ 0.96 $ 0.82 17% $ 3.61 $ 2.93 23% Aggregate impact from the application of EITF Topic D-42 in connection with the redemption of preferred 0.04 0.01 0.07 0.10 securities..........................

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 December 31, 2005, our "Same Store" portfolio consists of 1,260 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 2005. The following table summarizes the pre-depreciation historical operating results of the Same Store facilities: SELECTED OPERATING DATA FOR THE SAME STORE - ------------------------------------------ FACILITIES (1,260 FACILITIES): - ------------------------------ Three Months Ended December 31, Year Ended December 31, ---------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------- Percentage Percentage 2005 2004 Change 2005 2004 Change ----------- ----------- ---------- ----------- ----------- ----------- (Dollar amounts in thousands, except weighted average data) Revenues: Rental income, net of discounts............ $ 197,071 $ 188,166 4.7% $ 775,012 $ 740,619 4.6% Late charges and administrative fees collected.......................... 9,217 8,254 11.7% 36,028 32,566 10.6% ----------- ----------- ---------- ----------- ----------- ----------- Total revenues (a)......................... 206,288 196,420 5.0% 811,040 773,185 4.9% Cost of operations: Payroll expense............................ 20,070 22,285 (9.9)% 81,981 83,434 (1.7)% Property taxes ............................ 16,731 16,658 0.4% 73,547 71,393 3.0% Advertising and promotion.................. 5,778 6,620 (12.7)% 23,518 22,022 6.8% Repairs and maintenance.................... 6,756 6,787 (0.5)% 25,840 25,821 0.1% Utilities.................................. 4,141 3,668 12.9% 16,972 15,798 7.4% Property insurance......................... 1,922 2,037 (5.6)% 8,067 8,960 (10.0)% Telephone reservation center............... 1,908 2,232 (14.5)% 7,884 10,599 (25.6)% Other costs of management.................. 7,735 7,058 9.6% 30,160 28,517 5.8% ----------- ----------- ---------- ----------- ----------- ----------- Total cost of operations (a)................. 65,041 67,345 (3.4)% 267,969 266,544 0.5% ----------- ----------- ---------- ----------- ----------- ----------- Net operating income (before depreciation) .... $ 141,247 $ 129,075 9.4% $ 543,071 $ 506,641 7.2% =========== =========== ========== =========== =========== =========== Gross margin................................... 68.5% 65.7% 4.3% 67.0% 65.5% 2.3% Weighted average for the period: Square foot occupancy (b).................... 90.5% 90.8% (0.3)% 91.0% 91.0% 0.0% Realized annual rent per occupied square foot (c)..................................... $ 11.88 $ 11.31 5.0% $ 11.62 $ 11.10 4.7% REVPAF (d)................................... $ 10.75 $ 10.27 4.7% $ 10.57 $ 10.10 4.7% Weighted average at December 31: Square foot occupancy........................ 89.8% 90.1% (0.3)% In place annual rent per occupied square foot (e)..................................... $ 12.84 $ 12.21 5.2% Total net rentable square feet (in thousands).. 73,311 73,311 - a) See attached reconciliation of these amounts to our consolidated self-storage revenues and operating expenses. Revenues and cost of operations do not include ancillary revenues and expenses generated at the facilities with respect to tenant reinsurance, retail sales and truck rentals. "Other costs of management" included in cost of operations principally represents all the indirect costs incurred in the operations of the facilities. Indirect costs principally include supervisory costs and corporate overhead cost incurred to support the operating activities of the facilities. 3 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 it is useful in evaluating 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. The growth in rental income in 2006 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..................................... $ 3,290 $ 1,956 $ 1,988 $ 3,060 $ 10,294 2005..................................... $ 3,522 $ 2,940 $ 2,309 $ 2,141 $ 10,912 REVPAF: 2004..................................... $ 9.77 $ 10.06 $ 10.31 $ 10.27 $ 10.10 2005..................................... $ 10.25 $ 10.51 $ 10.77 $ 10.75 $ 10.57 Weighted average realized annual rent per occupied square foot for the period: 2004..................................... $ 10.90 $ 10.99 $ 11.22 $ 11.31 $ 11.10 2005..................................... $ 11.41 $ 11.41 $ 11.74 $ 11.88 $ 11.62 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% 91.7% 90.5% 91.0% EFFECTS OF HURRICANES: - ---------------------- As previously reported, in August 2005, all eight of our facilities located in New Orleans were damaged as a result of Hurricane Katrina. All of the facilities were closed for operations for several weeks following the hurricane; however, all but three of these facilities have since reopened. Two of the three facilities that remain closed will not be able to reopen at all without substantial restoration and repair work. During the quarter ended December 31, 2005, our net operating income (before depreciation) for these eight facilities was $494,000 compared to $1,116,000 for the same period last year, a reduction of $622,000 or 56%. For the year ended December 31, 2005, net operating income (before depreciation) was $3,005,000 as compared to $4,013,000 for the same period in 2004, a decrease of $1,008,000 or 25%. Included in the caption "Casualty Loss" for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2005 is estimated business interruption income approximating $675,000, representing our estimated recovery from our insurers for loss of business through December 31, 2005. Notwithstanding that five of our facilities in New Orleans are currently operating, we believe that the indirect economic effects of the hurricane on the city may have a negative impact on our facilities' operating results and are expected to continue for an indeterminate time period. On October 24, 2005, Hurricane Wilma struck Southern Florida, where we sustained damage to 74 of our facilities. All of our facilities, including the damaged facilities, were placed back into operation soon after and the impact to our operating results for the fourth quarter of 2005 was not significant. We have third-party insurance coverage, subject to certain deductibles, that covers restoration of physical damage to our facilities. We also have business interruption insurance, subject to certain deductibles, that principally covers loss of income due to units being offline as a result of physical damage. Loss of income occasioned entirely by indirect economic effects is generally not covered. We estimate that the aggregate cost to restore our facilities damaged in these hurricanes will be approximately $10.7 million. We expect our insurers to pay for approximately $3.5 million of these costs. We recorded a casualty loss with respect to the damage to our self-storage facilities amounting to approximately $2,592,000 during the year ended December 31, 2005, which represents the excess of the net book value of assets damaged over the insurance proceeds we expect to receive. We recorded similar casualty losses during the year ended December 31, 2004 of $1,250,000. 4 The above estimates are subject to change as we and our insurers (i) more fully evaluate the extent of physical damage, which may not be fully determinable until commencement of demolition, (ii) develop detailed restoration plans and (iii) evaluate the impact of local conditions in the building labor and supplies markets on restoration costs. In addition, we have not yet determined whether restoration of the two most significantly damaged facilities in New Orleans will be economically viable; however, if we did not restore these facilities we could apply the insurance proceeds towards the development of facilities in other locations. Our tenant insurance subsidiary reinsures policies against claims for losses to goods stored by tenants in our facilities, for tenants who elect such coverage. Included in cost of operations for tenant reinsurance for the fourth quarter of 2005 is $500,000 ($1,000,000 for the year ended December 31, 2005) in estimated losses with respect to tenant claims as a result of damage sustained from the impact of both Hurricanes Katrina and Wilma. During 2004, we recorded $1.5 million for estimated losses from tenant claims for the series of hurricanes that occurred during the third quarter of 2004. DEVELOPMENT, ACQUISITION AND DISPOSITION ACTIVITIES: - ---------------------------------------------------- During the fourth quarter of 2005, we opened three newly developed facilities at a cost of $20.9 million containing 204,000 net rentable square feet. We also completed five projects whereby we converted space at former containerized storage facilities into self-storage space at a total cost of $10.0 million, adding an aggregate 386,000 net rentable square feet of self-storage space. Additionally, four expansion projects added 190,000 net rentable square feet at a cost of $12.4 million. At December 31, 2005, there were 62 projects that were either under construction or were expected to begin construction generally within the next year, comprised of four newly developed self-storage facilities (338,000 net rentable square feet) with a total estimated cost of $61.2 million, 51 projects (3,020,000 net additional rentable square feet) which expand existing self-storage facilities and enhance their visual appeal for a total estimated cost of $240.3 million, and seven projects (553,000 net rentable square feet) to convert space at former containerized storage facilities into self-storage space for a total estimated cost of $21.7 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 fourth quarter of 2005, we acquired 11 facilities from third parties, with an aggregate of 920,000 net rentable square feet, for an aggregate cost of approximately $130 million in cash. These acquisitions were funded entirely by us. In addition to the facilities acquired in the quarter ended December 31, 2005, between January 1 and February 6, 2006 we acquired two additional facilities with 112,000 net rentable square feet for approximately $14 million including assumption of debt on one of these facilities totaling $4.6 million. At February 6, 2006, we are under contract to acquire seven additional facilities (total approximate net rentable square feet of 527,000) at an aggregate cost of approximately $67 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. On August 5, 2005 we acquired the third party institutional investor's partnership interest in PSAC Storage Investors, LLC for approximately $41.4 million in cash. The institutional investor along with Mr. Hughes, the Company's Chairman of the Board, were partners in PSAC Storage Investors, LLC, a partnership that owned an interest in our consolidated development joint venture. As a result of the acquisition, we began consolidating the accounts of PSAC Storage Investors, LLC, during the third quarter of 2005. In addition, the acquisition allowed us to terminate the partnership and the development joint venture as of November 17, 2005, and on that date we acquired Mr. Hughes' interest in PSAC Storage Investors, LLC for approximately $64.5 million, pursuant to the terms of the partnership agreement. ISSUANCE AND REDEMPTION OF PREFERRED SECURITIES: - ------------------------------------------------ On November 29, 2005, we called for redemption our 8.60% Cumulative Preferred Stock, Series Q with a redemption value of $172,500,000, plus accrued dividends. These shares were subsequently redeemed on January 19, 2006. We recognized EITF Topic D-42 charges totaling $5,634,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2005 with respect to this redemption. On December 12, 2005, we issued 4,000,000 depositary shares, with each depositary share representing 1/1,000 of a share of 7.00% Cumulative Preferred Stock, Series G. The offering resulted in $100 million of gross proceeds. On January 19, 2006, we issued 4,000,000 depositary shares, with each depositary share representing 1/1,000 of a share of 6.95% Cumulative Preferred Stock, Series H. The offering resulted in $100 million of gross proceeds. On January 27, 2006, we issued an additional 200,000 depository shares, with each depositary share representing 1/1,000 of a share of our 6.95% Cumulative Preferred Stock, Series H resulting in $5 million of gross proceeds. 5 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. As of June 30, 2005, we have repurchased a total of 22,201,720 shares of our common stock. No additional shares were repurchased between July 1, 2005 and February 6, 2006.

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 year ended December 31, 2005. Discontinued operations for the year ended December 31, 2005, includes a gain of $5,180,000 relating to the condemnation of a self-storage facility pursuant to an eminent domain proceeding. (b) Ancillary operations include tenant reinsurance, merchandise sales, and truck rentals at our self-storage facilities, as well as management of facilities owned by third-party owners and facilities owned by the Unconsolidated Entities. 7 (c) 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 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 for the year ended December 31, 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. (d) Included in equity in earnings for the twelve months ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, is our share of PSB's EITF Topic D-42 charges totaling approximately $131,000 and $2,171,000, respectively (none during either of the three month periods then ended). 8 PUBLIC STORAGE, INC.

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.

The ongoing distributions reflect a partial period for the time the units were outstanding during each period. (c) FFO per common share for the year ended December 31, 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. 10 Public Storage, Inc.
