(Unaudited)


1.Description of the Business
Public Storage (referred to herein as “the Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), a Maryland real estate investment trust (“REIT”), was organized in 1980. Our principal business activities include the ownership and operation of self-storage facilities that offer storage spaces for lease, generally on a month-to-month basis, for personal and business use, ancillary activities such as tenant reinsurance, merchandise sales, and third party management, as well as the acquisition and development of additional self-storage space.
At September 30, 2022, we had direct and indirect equity interests in 2,836 self-storage facilities (with approximately 202.2 million net rentable square feet) located in 40 states in the United States (“U.S.”) operating under the Public Storage® name, and 1.2 million net rentable square feet of commercial and retail space.
At September 30, 2022, we owned a 35% common equity interest in Shurgard Self Storage SA (“Shurgard”), a public company traded on the Euronext Brussels under the “SHUR” symbol, which owned 259 self-storage facilities (with approximately 14 million net rentable square feet) located in seven Western European countries, all operating under the Shurgard® name.
On July 20, 2022, in connection with the closing of PS Business Parks, Inc.’s (“PSB”) merger transaction with affiliates of Blackstone Real Estate (“Blackstone”), we completed the sale of our 41% common equity interest in PSB in its entirety. Prior to the merger transaction, PSB was a REIT traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the “PSB” symbol, which owned commercial properties, primarily multi-tenant industrial, flex, and office space. Refer to Note 4. Investments in Unconsolidated Real Estate Entities for transaction information and our accounting treatment of the sale.
2.Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
We have prepared the accompanying interim consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) as set forth in the Accounting Standards Codification of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), and in conformity with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In our opinion, the interim consolidated financial statements presented herein reflect all adjustments, primarily of a normal recurring nature, that are necessary to present fairly the interim consolidated financial statements. Because they do not include all of the disclosures required by GAAP for complete annual financial statements, these interim consolidated financial statements should be read together with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.
Disclosures of the number and square footage of facilities, as well as the number and coverage of tenant reinsurance policies (Note 14) are unaudited and outside the scope of our independent registered public accounting firm’s review of our financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (U.S.).
Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2022.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
There have been no significant changes to the Company's significant accounting policies described in Note 2, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of Part II of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we acquired 44 self-storage facilities (3.2 million net rentable square feet of storage space), for a total cost of $501.9 million, consisting of $482.0 million in cash and $19.9 million in partnership units in our subsidiary. Approximately $14.4 million of the total cost was allocated to intangible assets. We completed development and redevelopment activities costing $126.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, adding 0.9 million net rentable square feet of self-storage space.

We recognized the remaining $19.6 million as an increase to our basis in our equity investment in PSB, which represents the elimination of our portion of the gain recorded by PSB.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we sold portions of real estate facilities in connection with eminent domain proceedings for $1.5 million in cash proceeds and recorded a related gain on sale of real estate of approximately $1.5 million.

Investment in PSB
Prior to the sale of our equity investment in PSB in its entirety on July 20, 2022, we owned 7,158,354 shares of PSB’s common stock and 7,305,355 limited partnership units in an operating partnership controlled by PSB, representing a 41% common equity interest in PSB.
On April 24, 2022, PSB entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger whereby affiliates of Blackstone agreed to acquire all outstanding shares of PSB’s common stock for $187.50 per share in cash. On July 20, 2022, PSB announced that it completed the merger transaction with Blackstone. Each share of PSB common stock and each common unit of partnership interest we held in PSB were converted into the right to receive the merger consideration of $187.50 per share or unit, including a $5.25 closing cash dividend per share or unit, and a $0.22 prorated quarterly cash dividend per share or unit, for a total of $187.72 per share or unit. At the close of the merger transaction, we received a total of $2.7 billion of cash proceeds and recognized a gain of $2.1 billion, which was classified within gain on sale of equity investment in PS Business Parks, Inc. in the Consolidated Statement of Income.
We classified the proceeds from the merger consideration of $2.6 billion or $182.25 per share or unit within cash flows from investing activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, we received cash distributions from PSB totaling $109.5 million and $45.6 million, respectively, which were classified within cash flows from operating activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
Investment in Shurgard
Throughout all periods presented, we effectively owned, directly and indirectly 31,268,459 Shurgard common shares, representing a 35% equity interest in Shurgard.
Based upon the closing price at September 30, 2022 (€41.60 per share of Shurgard common stock, at 0.980 exchange rate of U.S. Dollars to the Euro), the shares we owned had a market value of approximately $1.3 billion.
Our equity in earnings of Shurgard comprised our equity share of Shurgard’s net income, less amortization of the Shurgard Basis Differential (defined below). For each of the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, we received $2.6 million of trademark license fees that Shurgard pays to us for the use of the Shurgard® trademark. We eliminated $0.9 million of intra-entity profits and losses for each of the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and

2021, representing our equity share of the trademark license fees. We classify the remaining license fees we receive from Shurgard as interest and other income on our income statement.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, we received cash dividends from Shurgard totaling $37.8 million and $21.5 million, respectively. Approximately $13.7 million and $8.8 million of total cash distributions from Shurgard during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, represented distributions in excess of cumulative equity in earnings from Shurgard, which was classified within cash flows from investing activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
At September 30, 2022, our investment in Shurgard’s real estate assets exceeded our pro-rata share of the underlying amounts on Shurgard’s balance sheet by approximately $65.7 million ($74.7 million at December 31, 2021). This differential (the “Shurgard Basis Differential”) includes our basis adjustments in Shurgard’s real estate assets net of related deferred income taxes. The Shurgard Basis Differential is being amortized as a reduction to equity in earnings of the Unconsolidated Real Estate Entities. Such amortization totaled approximately $9.0 million and $7.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Shurgard is a publicly held entity trading on Euronext Brussels under the symbol “SHUR”.
