Sovran Self Storage Reports Fourth Quarter 2010 Results; Announces Acquisition of 7 Stores
BUFFALO, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--February 23, 2011--Sovran Self Storage, Inc. (NYSE:SSS), a self storage real estate investment trust (REIT), reported operating results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2010.
Net income available to common shareholders for the fourth quarter of 2010 was $8.5 million or $0.31 per fully diluted share. For the same period in 2009, there was a net loss to common shareholders of $1.5 million, or $0.06 per fully diluted common share. Funds from operations (FFO) for the quarter were $0.62 per fully diluted common share compared to $0.28 for the same period last year. Had the Company not recorded charges of $0.8 million related to a late December acquisition, FFO would have been $0.65 per fully diluted common share for the fourth quarter of 2010.
Stronger operating results in the fourth quarter of 2010 including lower than expected real estate taxes and a debt extinguishment charge in the fourth quarter of 2009 resulted in the increase to earnings and FFO.
During the quarter, the Company also acquired seven new stores: four in Charlotte and three in Raleigh, NC. The combined purchase price was $34.7 million, and the acquisitions added to the Company’s already significant presence in both cities.
“We’re seeing positive trends on many fronts – revenues are strengthening, costs are contained, investment opportunities are available, and we’re well positioned to grow from here,” said Robert J. Attea, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.
OPERATIONS:
Revenues for the 344 stores wholly owned by the Company for the entire quarter of each year increased 2.6% from those of the fourth quarter of 2009, the result of a 90 basis point increase in rental rates and strong growth in other revenues.
“We achieved solid gains in rental rates this quarter, and we saw revenues increase in 23 of 24 states,” said Kenneth F. Myszka, the Company’s President and COO. “We’re encouraged by improving demand in our markets.”
Same store operating expenses decreased 1.9% for the fourth quarter of 2010 compared to the prior year period, the result of a net property tax decrease of 12.1% offset by increases in health care, workers compensation, and property maintenance costs. The property tax expense was achieved by reductions won at several locations as a result of successful challenges to assessed values, and also due to conservatively estimated accruals during the first three quarters at the Company’s Florida, Texas, and Gulf Coast properties.
Consequently, same store net operating income increased 5.2% this period over the fourth quarter of 2009 as a result of increased revenues, controlled costs, and a significant decrease in property taxes.
General and administrative expenses grew by about $1.4 million over the same period in 2009. More than half of this increase was attributable to $0.8 million of acquisition costs expensed in conjunction with the purchase of the Carolina stores. The balance was primarily due to increased income taxes associated with operations of the Company’s taxable REIT subsidiary, incentive compensation, and marketing and internet advertising costs.
During the fourth quarter of 2010, all states save one achieved same store sales equal to or greater than the same period in 2009. For the first time since the hurricanes of 2005 and 2006, the Florida stores reported revenues greater than the prior year’s quarter, a sign that recovery may be on the horizon. The stores with the strongest revenue growth include most of New England, Louisiana, New York, and Tennessee.
PROPERTIES:
In late December 2010, the Company acquired seven stores for a combined purchase price of $34.7 million. The stores range in age from one to four years old, have a combined 0.5 million square feet and an overall occupancy rate of just over 55% at December 31, 2010. The acquisition was funded from cash generated by the sale of properties reported earlier in the year, and a $10 million draw on the Company’s line of credit.
“We’re excited to add these high quality assets to our portfolio,” commented Attea. “It was an opportune time to acquire, and we expect our marketing and pricing initiatives to rapidly improve the performance of these stores.”
The Company continues with its program of expanding and enhancing its properties. In 2010, projects providing approximately 168,500 square feet of additional and/or improved space at existing stores were added at a cost of $9.4 million. The Company is currently evaluating up to $32 million of such improvements in 2011.
CAPITAL TRANSACTIONS:
At December 31, 2010, the Company had $400 million of unsecured term note debt, $79.0 million of mortgage debt outstanding and $10 million drawn on its line of credit. The Company has no significant debt maturities until mid-2012.
Illustrated below are key financial ratios at December 31, 2010:
| -- Debt to Enterprise Value (at $38.00/share) | 31.5 | % | ||||||||

At December 31, 2010, the Company had approximately $5.8 million of cash on hand, and up to $115 million available on its line of credit.
YEAR 2011 EARNINGS GUIDANCE:
Management is encouraged by improving demand in most markets. Nonetheless, the Company anticipates the continuation of leasing incentives supplemented by aggressive and increased advertising. An increase in same store revenue of 2% to 3% is projected from that of 2010. Property operating costs are projected to increase by 2% to 3%, including an expected 4% annual increase in property taxes. Accordingly, the Company is anticipating an increase of 2% to 3% in same store net operating income for 2011.
The Company has identified some 27 properties at which it plans to add or improve approximately 0.7 million square feet of storage space during 2011 at an estimated cost of $32 million. The Company also has budgeted $11 million to provide for recurring capitalized expenditures including roofing, painting, paving, and office renovations.
The Company is selectively evaluating potential acquisitions, but at present has no properties under contract. Purchases made in 2011 are not expected to impact 2011’s guidance inasmuch as the Company expects to invest in both low occupancy “turn-around” opportunities as well as stabilized properties.
General and administrative expenses are expected to increase due to income taxes on its taxable REIT subsidiaries and the Company’s plans to continue expanding its internet marketing presence.
At December 31, 2010, all but $10 million of the Company’s debt is either fixed rate or covered by rate swap contracts that essentially fix the rate. Subsequent borrowings that may occur will be pursuant to the Company’s Line of Credit agreement at a floating rate of LIBOR plus 1.375%.
At December 31, 2010, the Company had 27.7 million shares of common stock outstanding and 0.34 million Operating Partnership Units outstanding.
As a result of the above assumptions, management expects funds from operations for the full year 2011 to be approximately $2.59 to $2.62 per share, and between $0.60 and $0.62 for the first quarter of 2011.
FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS:
When used within this news release, the words “intends,” “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” and similar expressions are intended to identify “forward looking statements” within the meaning of that term in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, and in Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to be materially different from those expressed or implied by such forward looking statements.

| (1) We believe that Funds from Operations (“FFO”) provides relevant and meaningful information about our operating performance that is necessary, along with net earnings and cash flows, for an understanding of our operating results. FFO adds back historical cost depreciation, which assumes the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably in the future. In fact, real estate asset values increase or decrease with market conditions. Consequently, we believe FFO is a useful supplemental measure in evaluating our operating performance by disregarding (or adding back) historical cost depreciation. |
| Funds from operations is defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, Inc. (“NAREIT”) as net income computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), excluding gains or losses on sales of properties, plus depreciation and amortization and after adjustments to record unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures on the same basis. We believe that to further understand our performance, FFO should be compared with our reported net income and cash flows in accordance with GAAP, as presented in our consolidated financial statements. |
| Our computation of FFO may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs or real estate companies that do not define the term in accordance with the current NAREIT definition or that interpret the current NAREIT definition differently. FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP, and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (determined in accordance with GAAP) as an indication of our performance, as an alternative to net cash flows from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of our liquidity, or as an indicator of our ability to make cash distributions. |
