PUBLIC STORAGE, INC. REPORTS RESULTS FOR THE FOURTH QUARTER AND YEAR ENDED
DECEMBER 31, 2006
GLENDALE, CALIFORNIA - Public Storage, Inc. (NYSE:PSA) announced today operating
results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2006.
OPERATING RESULTS FOR THE QUARTER ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2006:
- ----------------------------------------------------------
Net loss for the three months ended December 31, 2006 was $10,233,000 compared
to net income of $123,372,000 for the same period in 2005, representing a
decrease of $133,605,000. This decrease is primarily due to the temporary impact
of certain items related to our merger with Shurgard Storage Centers, Inc.
("Shurgard"). During the three months ended December 31, 2006, we incurred
amortization expense totaling $125 million due to the amortization of certain
intangible assets acquired in the merger and approximately $24 million in merger
integration expenses.
The negative impacts to our net income from the above mentioned items were
partially offset by improved operations from our Same Store group of facilities,
continued growth in operations from our newly developed and recently expanded
facilities, as well as continued growth in our recently acquired self-storage
facilities including the facilities acquired in the merger with Shurgard.
Our Same Store net operating income, before depreciation expense, increased by
approximately $4,201,000 to $146,600,000, or 3.0%, as a result of a 3.4%
improvement in revenues partially offset by a 4.3% increase in cost of
operations. In order to increase the overall domestic portfolio occupancy, which
included the facilities acquired in the merger with Shurgard, up to levels we
have consistently achieved over the last couple of years, we significantly
expanded our media programs and we were aggressive with our pricing and
promotional discount programs. Aggregate net operating income for our newly
developed and recently expanded and acquired facilities (other than the Shurgard
facilities) increased by approximately $5,743,000 to $30,468,000. This increase
was largely due to the impact of facilities acquired in 2005 and 2006, combined
with continued fill-up of our newly developed and expansion facilities. For
those facilities that were acquired in the Shurgard merger in August 2006, net
operating income was approximately $74,685,000 for the quarter ended December
31, 2006.
For the three months ended December 31, 2006, we had a net loss allocable to our
common shareholders (after allocating net income to our preferred and equity
shareholders) of $80,401,000 or $0.48 per common share on a diluted basis
compared to net income allocable to common shareholders of $65,651,000 or $0.51
per common share on a diluted basis for the same period in 2005, representing a
decrease of $146,052,000 or $0.99 per diluted common share. The decreases in net
income allocable to common shareholders on an aggregate and per-share basis are
due primarily to the impact of the factors described above, combined with an
increase in income allocated to preferred shareholders, as described below.
For the three months ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, we allocated $54,964,000
and $46,731,000 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 issued
preferred securities. In connection with the redemption of preferred securities,
we also allocated additional income to our preferred shareholders with respect
to the application of EITF Topic D-42 totaling $9,850,000 (or $0.06 per diluted
common share) for the three months ended December 31, 2006, and $5,634,000 (or
$0.04 per diluted common share) for the same period in 2005.
Weighted average diluted shares increased to 169,063,000 for the three months
ended December 31, 2006 from 128,743,000 for the three months ended December 31,
2005. The increase in weighted average diluted shares is due primarily to the
issuance of approximately 38.9 million shares in the merger with Shurgard, which
are included in our weighted average shares from August 22, 2006 through
December 31, 2006.

OPERATING RESULTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2006:
- -------------------------------------------------------
Net income for the year ended December 31, 2006 was $314,026,000 compared to
$456,393,000 for the same period in 2005, representing a decrease of
$142,367,000, or 31%. This decrease is primarily due to the temporary impact of
certain items related to our merger with Shurgard. During the year ended
December 31, 2006, we incurred amortization expense totaling $176 million due to
the amortization of certain intangible assets acquired in the merger and
approximately $44 million in merger integration expenses.
These items were partially offset by improved operations from our Same Store,
newly developed and acquired self-storage facilities (including the facilities
acquired from Shurgard), reduced minority interest in income and higher interest
income.
Same Store net operating income, before depreciation expense, increased by
$28,104,000 to $575,152,000, or 5.1%, as a result of a 5.1% improvement in
revenues partially offset by a 4.9% increase in cost of operations. Aggregate
net operating income for our newly developed, acquired and expansion
self-storage facilities (excluding the Shurgard facilities) increased by
approximately $30,725,000 to $114,458,000 largely due to the impact of
facilities acquired in 2005 and 2006, combined with continued fill-up of our
newly developed and expansion facilities. We earned an aggregate of $110,048,000
in net operating income with respect to the facilities acquired from Shurgard,
reflecting their operating results from the date of the merger August 22, 2006,
through December 31, 2006. Minority interest in income declined due to the
acquisition of minority interests that occurred in 2005. Interest income
increased in the year ended December 31, 2006 as a result of earning higher
interest rates on invested cash balances, combined with higher average cash
balances invested in interest-bearing accounts as compared to the same period in
2005.
Net income allocable to our common shareholders (after allocating net income to
our preferred and equity shareholders) was $46,891,000 or $0.33 per common share
on a diluted basis for the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to $254,395,000
or $1.97 per common share on a diluted basis for the same period in 2005,
representing a decrease of $1.64 per common share, or a decrease of 83%. The
decreases in net income allocable to common shareholders and earnings per common
diluted share are due primarily to the impact of the factors described above, in
addition to increased income allocated to preferred shareholders, described
below.
For the year ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, we allocated $214,218,000 and
$173,017,000 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 issued
preferred securities. In connection with the redemption of preferred securities,
we also recorded allocations of income to our preferred shareholders with
respect to the application of EITF Topic D-42 totaling $31,493,000 (or $0.22 per
diluted common share) and $7,538,000 (or $0.06 per diluted common share) for the
years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
Weighted average diluted shares increased to 143,715,000 for year ended December
31, 2006 from 128,819,000 for the year ended December 31, 2005. The increase in
weighted average diluted shares is due primarily to the issuance of
approximately 38.9 million shares in the merger with Shurgard, which are
included in our weighted average shares from August 22, 2006 through December
31, 2006.
FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS:
- ----------------------
For the three months ended December 31, 2006, funds from operations ("FFO")
decreased to $0.89 per common share on a diluted basis as compared to $0.96 per
common share for the same period in 2005, representing a decrease of $0.07 per
common share, or 7.3%. For the year ended December 31, 2006, FFO decreased to
$3.57 per common share on a diluted basis as compared to $3.61 per common share
for 2005, representing a decrease of $0.04 per common share, or 1.1%.
For the three months and year ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, FFO has been
impacted as a result of (i) costs and expenses incurred in connection with the
merger with Shurgard totaling approximately $24 million and $44 million for the
three months and year ended December 31, 2006, respectively, (ii) net income
from derivative instruments and foreign exchange gains aggregating approximately
$4 million for the three months and year ended December 31, 2006, (iii)
development costs that were expensed with respect to terminated projects
totaling $1 million and $10 million for the three months and year ended December
31, 2006, respectively, (iv) contract termination fees of $2 million for year
ended December 31, 2006, (v) losses incurred in our tenant reinsurance business
and property casualty losses as a result of the impact from hurricanes totaling
$2 million and $3 million for the three months and year ended December 31, 2005,
(vi) the impact of a gain on the sale, in the year ended December 31, 2005, of
non-real estate assets previously used by our containerized storage business
totaling $1.1 million, (vii) the impact of a $1.0 million impairment charge on a
discontinued self-storage facility recorded during the three months ended
December 31, 2006 and (viii) the application of EITF Topic D-42 in connection
with the redemption of our preferred securities and our pro-rata share of EITF
Topic D-42 for PS Business Parks, Inc. ($10.6 million and $5.6 million for the
three months ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively and $33.6 million
and $8.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively).

============ =========== =========== ========== =========== ===========
FFO is a term defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment
Trusts ("NAREIT"). 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. In addition, we believe
that FFO is helpful to investors as an additional measure of the performance of
a REIT, because net income includes the impact of depreciation, which assumes
that the value of real estate diminishes predictably over time, while we believe
that the value of real estate fluctuates due to market conditions and in
response to inflation. 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. See the attached reconciliation of net income
to funds from operations included in the selected financial data attached to
this press release.
PROPERTY OPERATIONS-SAME STORE FACILITIES:
- ------------------------------------------
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.
As of December 31, 2006, our "Same Store" portfolio consists of 1,266
facilities, which represents the facilities that we have consolidated in our
financial statements and have been operating at a stabilized basis throughout
2004, 2005 and 2006.
The Same Store facilities contain approximately 73.9 million net rentable square
feet, representing approximately 59% of the aggregate net rentable square feet
in the United States of our consolidated self-storage portfolio at December 31,
2006. The following table summarizes the pre-depreciation historical operating
results of the Same Store facilities:

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.
b) Net operating income (before depreciation) or "NOI" is a non-GAAP
(generally accepted accounting principles) financial measure that excludes
the impact of depreciation expense. Although depreciation is an operating
expense, we believe that NOI is a meaningful measure of operating
performance, because we utilize NOI in making decisions with respect to
capital allocations, in determining current property values, segment
performance and comparing period-to-period and market-to-market property
operating results. NOI is not a substitute for net operating income after
depreciation in evaluating our operating results.
c) Square foot occupancies represent weighted average occupancy levels over
the entire period.
d) Realized annual rent per occupied square foot is computed by annualizing
the result of dividing rental income by the weighted average occupied
square footage for the period. Realized annual rent per occupied square
foot takes into consideration promotional discounts, credit card fees and
other costs that reduce rental income from the contractual amounts due.
e) Annualized rental income per available square foot ("REVPAF") represents
annualized rental income divided by total available net rentable square
feet.
f) Late charges and administrative fees are excluded from the computation of
realized annual rent per occupied square foot and REVPAF because exclusion
of these amounts provides a better measure of our ongoing level of revenue,
by excluding the volatility of late charges, which are dependent
principally upon the level of tenant delinquency, and administrative fees,
which are dependent principally upon the absolute level of move-ins for a
period.
4
g) 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.

MERGER WITH SHURGARD:
- ---------------------
On August 22, 2006, we completed the merger with Shurgard Storage Centers, Inc.
Pursuant to the terms of the merger, we issued approximately 38.9 million shares
of Public Storage common stock to holders of Shurgard's common stock and assumed
Shurgard's debt of approximately $2.0 billion. In addition, pursuant to the
merger, we issued approximately 1.9 million Public Storage stock options to
former holders of Shurgard stock options. Approximately 1.8 million of these
stock options were exercised through December 31, 2006, resulting in aggregate
exercise proceeds totaling approximately $78.1 million.
Immediately after the close of the merger, we repaid outstanding borrowings with
respect to Shurgard's bank credit facility and certain variable rate mortgage
notes totaling approximately $671 million. In addition, all of Shurgard's
outstanding preferred stock (approximately $138 million) was redeemed just prior
to the close of the merger.
Included in general and administrative expense are costs related to the merger,
as well as expenditures in planning and completing the integration of the two
companies of approximately $24 million and $44 million for the three months
ended and year ended December 31, 2006, respectively. Shurgard's corporate staff
has been reduced from about 150 to 20 as of February 15, 2007, with the
remaining corporate staff expected to terminate by April 30, 2007.
We expect to incur additional integration costs for accounting, payroll
processing, tax and financial reporting, as well as the complete shut down of
the Seattle office and transfer of computer hardware to our third party
provider. We will also continue to simplify our European operations. We expect
these costs to be less than $5 million through June 30, 2007.

SHURGARD EUROPE:
- ----------------
On January 2, 2007, we repaid all of the notes, $433 million (325 million
euros), that encumbered 102 of our wholly-owned European facilities. To fund the
repayment of these notes, we obtained a $300 million bridge loan from a U.S.
commercial bank, which was fully drawn at December 31, 2006, together with
borrowings of approximately $60 million under our existing revolving credit
agreement and cash on hand. In early January 2007, borrowings on both the bridge
loan and revolving credit facility were repaid in full with the proceeds from
the issuance of preferred securities. In connection with the repayment of the
debt, we also terminated the related European currency and interest rate hedges.
We own a 20% interest in two joint ventures which collectively own 63 European
properties with 3,108,000 net rentable square feet. The two ventures
collectively had approximately $290 million of outstanding debt at December 31,
2006, which is included in our consolidated financial statements. At December
31, 2006, the joint venture had eight facilities under construction (389,000 net
rentable square feet), with total estimated costs of approximately $78.5
million, of which approximately $42 million had been incurred as of December 31,
2006. The development of these facilities is subject to various risks and
contingencies. In January 2007, we submitted to arbitration whether we are
entitled to exercise an early "exit procedure" and terminate the joint ventures
and to purchase the joint venture partner's interests, after being unable to
reach a mutually satisfactory agreement with our joint venture partner.
During the fourth quarter of 2006, we completed the development of six
facilities consisting of two in Belgium and two in France and one each in Sweden
and the United Kingdom at a total cost of $46.1 million, adding 299,000 net
rentable square feet to the portfolio.
We are evaluating various financing alternatives to position Shurgard Europe for
long-term, sustained growth, including a possible initial public offering in
Europe.
DEVELOPMENT AND ASSET ACQUISITION AND DISPOSITION ACTIVITIES IN THE U.S.:
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------
During the fourth quarter of 2006, in the United States we completed two
development facilities at a total cost of $17.8 million, adding 158,500 of net
rentable square feet, and nine expansion facilities at a total cost of $25.3
million, adding 312,000 net rentable square feet. During the year ended December
31, 2006, in the United States we completed 5 development facilities at a total
cost of $115.0 million, adding 440,000 net rentable square feet and various
expansion projects at a total cost of $46.1 million, adding 520,000 net rentable
square feet.
At December 31, 2006, we had 48 projects in the United States that were either
under construction or were expected to begin construction generally within the
next year, comprised of 45 projects (1,980,000 net additional rentable square
feet) which expand existing self-storage facilities and enhance their visual
appeal for a total estimated cost of $174.5 million, and three projects (276,000
net rentable square feet) to convert space at former containerized storage
facilities into self-storage space for a total estimated cost of $13.1 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.
We are under contract to purchase a self-storage facility in Honolulu, Hawaii
with an aggregate of 79,000 net rentable square feet, for approximately $23
million. Acquisition of this facility is subject to contingencies.
During October 2006, we acquired for $1.5 million in cash the remaining
interests, that we did not previously own, in a partnership that owned a
self-storage facility. The partnership was originally formed by Shurgard.
ISSUANCE AND REDEMPTION OF PREFERRED SECURITIES:
- ------------------------------------------------
On October 20, 2006, we issued 9,200,000 depositary shares, each representing
1/1,000 of a share of our 6.75% Cumulative Preferred Stock, Series L, for

(a) Depreciation and amortization increased substantially, principally due to
$125,318,000 and $175,944,000 in amortization of intangibles acquired in
the merger with Shurgard for the three and twelve months ended December
31, 2006, respectively, as well as $49,277,000 and $61,703,000 in
depreciation of the buildings acquired from Shurgard, respectively for
the same periods. Amortization is expected to be approximately
$85,800,000 in the first quarter of 2007, $69,200,000 in the second
quarter of 2007 and approximately $88,300,000 during the remainder of
2007. Depreciation with respect to the buildings, which is computed on a
straight-line basis over a 25 year estimated life, is expected to be
approximately $35,700,000 per quarter beginning in the first quarter of
2007.
(b) In connection with the merger with Shurgard, we assumed various
derivative instruments that Shurgard had entered into to hedge currency
and interest rate risk with respect to its European debt and investments.
Shurgard accounted for these instruments under Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments"
("SFAS 133") as highly effective hedges and, accordingly, the
fluctuations in value of these instruments were not reflected in
earnings. However, we have determined that these derivative instruments
are not highly effective hedges under SFAS 133, because we expect that
the extinguishment of the hedges and the repayment of the various related
debt instruments will not occur at the same time. As a result,
fluctuations in fair value of these various instruments are reflected in
our net income.
(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. We ceased allocating income with respect to these
interests following their redemption.
(d) In the quarter ended December 31, 2006, we decided that we would not
reconstruct a facility that was significantly damaged by Hurricane
Katrina. The facility, which is located in New Orleans, had not been
operational since the hurricane. We determined that restoring this
facility was economically impractical. As a result, in the quarter ended
December 31, 2006, we recorded an impairment charge in the amount of
$996,000, and reclassified all previous operations of this facility and
the related impairment charge to discontinued operations. We recorded a
gain during the year ended December 31, 2006, totaling $2,370,000, in
connection with a facility located in Seattle, Washington that was
condemned by a local governmental agency. For the year ended December 31,
2005, we recorded a gain totaling $5,180,000 in connection with a
facility located in Portland, Oregon that was condemned by a local
governmental agency. The operations of the Seattle facility are reflected
in Discontinued Operations for both of the three months and year ended
December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the operations of the Portland facility
are reflected in Discontinued Operations for the three months and year
ended December 31, 2005. Also, for the year ended December 31, 2005,
non-real estate assets of containerized storage operations were sold,
resulting in a gain on sale of approximately $1,143,000.

Shurgard Domestic Same Store Selected Operating Data
- -----------------------------------------------------
In the merger with Shurgard, we acquired 390 wholly-owned and an interest in 97
facilities owned by affiliated joint ventures all located in the United States.
We have applied our definition of what qualifies as a Same Store and, as a
result, the number of properties included in the Shurgard Domestic Same Store
portfolio has decreased from 462 facilities (as reported by Shurgard in the
second quarter of 2006) to 366 facilities as is currently being reported. The
operating data presented in the table below reflects the historical data through
August 22, 2006, the period for which the facilities were operated under
Shurgard combined with the historical data from August 22, 2006 through December
31, 2006, the period operated under Public Storage. Accordingly, the data
presented below does not reflect the actual results included in our operations
for the three months and year ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 and does not
purport to project results of operations for any future date or period.

(a) Operating data reflects the operations of these facilities without regard
to the time period in which Public Storage owned the facilities; only the
amounts for the period August 22, 2006 through December 31, 2006 are
included in our consolidated operating results.
(b) Revenues and cost of operations do not include ancillary revenues and
expenses generated at the facilities with respect to tenant reinsurance,
and 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. These amounts presented
herein will not necessarily compare to amounts previously presented by
Shurgard in its public reporting due to differences in classification of
revenues and expenses, including tenant reinsurance, retail sales and
truck rental activities which are included on our income statement under
"ancillary operations" but were previously presented by Shurgard as
self-storage revenue and operating expenses.
12
(c) Net operating income (before depreciation) or "NOI" is a non-GAAP
(generally accepted accounting principles) financial measure that
excludes the impact of depreciation expense. Although depreciation is an
operating expense, we believe that NOI is a meaningful measure of
operating performance, because we utilize NOI in making decisions with
respect to capital allocations, in determining current property values,
segment performance, and comparing period-to-period and market-to-market
property operating results. NOI is not a substitute for net operating
income after depreciation in evaluating our operating results.
Depreciation is not presented herein because it is not comparable during
the period owned by us and during the period owned by Shurgard, due to
differing historical costs and depreciable lives.
(d) Square foot occupancies represent weighted average occupancy levels over
the entire period.
(e) Realized annual rent per occupied square foot is computed by annualizing
the result of dividing rental income by the weighted average occupied
square footage for the period. Realized annual rent per occupied square
foot takes into consideration promotional discounts, credit card fees and
other costs that reduce rental income from the contractual amounts due.
(f) Annualized rental income per available square foot ("REVPAF") represents
annualized rental income divided by total available net rentable square
feet.
(g) Late charges and administrative fees are excluded from the computation of
realized annual rent per occupied square foot and REVPAF because
exclusion of these amounts provides a better measure of our ongoing level
of revenue, by excluding the volatility of late charges, which are
dependent principally upon the level of tenant delinquency, and
administrative fees, which are dependent principally upon the absolute
level of move-ins for a period.

Shurgard European Same Store Selected Operating Data
- -----------------------------------------------------
In the merger with Shurgard, we acquired 103 wholly-owned facilities and an
interest in 57 facilities owned by affiliated joint ventures. We have applied
our definition of what qualifies as a Same Store. As a result, the number of
properties included in the Shurgard European Same Store portfolio has decreased
from 123 facilities (as reported by Shurgard in the second quarter of 2006) to
96 facilities as is currently being reported. The operating data presented in
the table below reflect the historical data through August 22, 2006, the period
for which the facilities were operated under Shurgard combined with the
historical data from August 22, 2006 through December 31, 2006, the period

(a) Operating data reflects the operations of these facilities without regard
to the time period in which Public Storage owned the facilities; only the
amounts for the period August 22, 2006 through December 31, 2006 are
included in our consolidated operating results.
(b) Amounts for all periods have been translated from local currencies to
U.S. dollars at a constant exchange rate of 1.26 US Dollars to Euros.
(c) Revenues and cost of operations do not include ancillary revenues and
expenses generated at the facilities with respect to tenant reinsurance,
and 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. These amounts presented
herein will not necessarily compare to amounts previously presented by
Shurgard in its public reporting due to differences in classification of
revenues and expenses, including tenant reinsurance, retail sales, and
truck rental activities which are included on our income statement under
"ancillary operations" but were previously presented by Shurgard as
self-storage revenue and operating expenses.
14
(d) Net operating income (before depreciation) or "NOI" is a non-GAAP
(generally accepted accounting principles) financial measure that
excludes the impact of depreciation expense. Although depreciation is an
operating expense, we believe that NOI is a meaningful measure of
operating performance, because we utilize NOI in making decisions with
respect to capital allocations, in determining current property values,
segment performance, and comparing period-to-period and market-to-market
property operating results. NOI is not a substitute for net operating
income after depreciation in evaluating our operating results.
Depreciation is not presented herein because it is not comparable during
the period owned by us and during the period owned by Shurgard, due to
differing historical costs and depreciable lives.
(e) Square foot occupancies represent weighted average occupancy levels over
the entire period.
(f) Realized annual rent per occupied square foot is computed by annualizing
the result of dividing rental income by the weighted average occupied
square footage for the period. Realized annual rent per occupied square
foot takes into consideration promotional discounts, credit card fees and
other costs that reduce rental income from the contractual amounts due.
(g) Annualized rental income per available square foot ("REVPAF") represents
annualized rental income divided by total available net rentable square
feet.
(h) Late charges and administrative fees are excluded from the computation of
realized annual rent per occupied square foot and REVPAF because
exclusion of these amounts provides a better measure of our ongoing level
of revenue, by excluding the volatility of late charges, which are
dependent principally upon the level of tenant delinquency, and
administrative fees, which are dependent principally upon the absolute
level of move-ins for a period.
(i) 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.

(a) Funds from operations ("FFO") is a term defined by the National
Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT"). FFO is a
non-GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) financial measure.
FFO 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. In addition, we
believe that FFO is helpful to investors as an additional measure of the
performance of a REIT, because net income includes the impact of
depreciation, which assumes that the value of real estate diminishes
predictably over time, while we believe that the value of real estate
fluctuates due to market conditions and in response to inflation. 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.
(c) FFO per common share 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 year ended December 31, 2005.

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) Capital expenditures exclude $11,115,000 and $12,934,000 for the three
months and year ended December 31, 2006, respectively, of costs incurred
to re-brand the Shurgard facilities to the "Public Storage" name, which
principally consists of permanent signage.
(c) Funds available for distribution ("FAD") represents FFO, plus 1)
impairment charges with respect to real estate assets, 2) the non-cash
portion of stock-based compensation expense, and 3) income allocation to
preferred equity holders in accordance with EITF Topic D-42, less capital
expenditures. The distribution payout ratio is computed by dividing the
distribution paid by FAD. FAD is presented because many analysts consider
it to be a measure of the performance and liquidity of real estate
companies and because we believe that FAD is helpful to investors as an
additional measure of the performance of a REIT. FAD is not a substitute
for our cash flow or net income as a measure of our liquidity, operating
performance, or our ability to pay dividends. Other REITs may not compute
FAD in the same manner; accordingly, FAD may not be comparable among
REITs.
(d) The distribution payout ratio has increased in the three months and year
ended December 31, 2006 as compared to the same periods in 2005, due
primarily to (i) increases of $11,241,000 and $40,502,000, respectively,
in capital expenditures for the three months and year ended December 31,
2006 as compared to the same periods in 2005, (ii) a total of $24 million
and $44 million in Shurgard integration expenses incurred in the three
months and year ended December 31, 2006, respectively and (iii)
distributions to common shareholders for full year of 2006 includes the
impact of our payment of a full quarter's common distribution on
September 30, 2006, on the approximately 38.9 million shares issued to
former Shurgard shareholders while we recorded only a partial period's
operations for the Shurgard assets from August 22, 2006 through September
30, 2006.
