NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2023
(Unaudited)

1.Description of the Business
Public Storage (referred to herein as “the Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), a Maryland real estate investment trust that has elected to be taxed as a 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 June 30, 2023, we had direct and indirect equity interests in 2,888 self-storage facilities (with approximately 206.0 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 June 30, 2023, we owned a 35% common equity interest in Shurgard Self Storage Limited (“Shurgard”), a public company traded on the Euronext Brussels under the “SHUR” symbol, which owned 266 self-storage facilities (with approximately 15 million net rentable square feet) located in seven Western European countries, all operating under the Shurgard® name.
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, 2022.
Certain amounts previously reported in our June 30, 2022 Statements of Cash Flows have been reclassified to conform to the June 30, 2023 presentation, with respect to the separate presentation of changes in operating assets and liabilities in the cash flows from operating activities section and major types of capital expenditures in the cash flows from investing activities section. The reclassifications did not affect the subtotals for cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities.
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.).

Investment in PSB
On July 20, 2022, in connection with the closing of the merger of PS Business Parks, Inc. (“PSB”) with affiliates of Blackstone Real Estate (“Blackstone”), we completed the sale of our 41% common equity interest in PSB in its entirety. 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 during the third quarter of 2022.
During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we received cash distributions from PSB totaling $30.4 million. Since the sale of PSB in July 2022, we no longer recognize equity in earnings or receive cash distributions from PSB.
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 June 30, 2023 (€41.83 per share of Shurgard common stock, at 1.089 exchange rate of U.S. Dollars to the Euro), the shares we owned had a market value of approximately $1.4 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). During the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, we received $1.9 million and $1.7 million of trademark license fees that Shurgard pays to us for the use of the Shurgard® trademark, respectively. We eliminated $0.7 million and $0.6 million of intra-entity profits and losses for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, 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 six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, we received cash dividend distributions from Shurgard totaling $19.8 million and $20.1 million, respectively. Approximately $3.2 million and $4.5 million of total cash distributions from Shurgard during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, 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 June 30, 2023, our investment in Shurgard’s real estate assets exceeded our pro-rata share of the underlying amounts on Shurgard’s balance sheet by approximately $64.7 million ($67.8 million at December 31, 2022). 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 $3.1 million and $4.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

6.Credit Facility
On June 12, 2023, we entered into an amended revolving credit agreement (the “Credit Facility”), which increases our borrowing limit from $500 million to $1.5 billion and extends the maturity date from April 19, 2024 to June 12, 2027. We have the option to further extend the maturity date by up to one additional year with additional extension fees up to 0.125% of the extended commitment amount. Amounts drawn on the Credit Facility bear annual interest at rates ranging from SOFR plus 0.65% to SOFR plus 1.40% depending upon our credit rating (SOFR plus 0.70% at June 30, 2023). We are also required to pay a quarterly facility fee ranging from 0.10% per annum to 0.30% per annum depending upon our credit rating (0.10% per annum at June 30, 2023). At June 30, 2023 and August 2, 2023, we had no outstanding borrowings under this Credit Facility. We had undrawn standby letters of credit, which reduce our borrowing capacity, totaling $16.7 million at June 30, 2023 ($18.6 million at December 31, 2022 under the previous credit facility). The Credit Facility has various customary restrictive covenants with which we were in compliance at June 30, 2023. We incurred a total of $8.4 million of issuance costs associated with the amended Credit Facility, which is classified as Other Assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and will be amortized as Interest Expense on the Consolidated Statement of Income through June 12, 2027.

U.S. Dollar Denominated Unsecured Notes
The U.S. Dollar denominated unsecured notes (the “U.S. Dollar Denominated Unsecured Notes”) have various financial covenants with which we were in compliance at June 30, 2023. Included in these covenants are (a) a maximum Debt to Total Assets of 65% (approximately 13% at June 30, 2023) and (b) a minimum ratio of Adjusted EBITDA to Interest Expense of 1.5x (approximately 24x for the twelve months ended June 30, 2023) as well as covenants limiting the amount we can encumber our properties with mortgage debt.
Euro Denominated Unsecured Notes
Our Euro denominated unsecured notes (the “Euro Notes”) consist of four tranches: (i) €242.0 million issued to institutional investors on November 3, 2015, (ii) €100.0 million issued to institutional investors on April 12, 2016, (iii) €500.0 million issued in a public offering on January 24, 2020, and (iv) €700.0 million issued in a public offering on September 9, 2021. The Euro Notes have financial covenants similar to those of the U.S. Dollar Denominated Unsecured Notes.
We reflect changes in the U.S. Dollar equivalent of the amount payable including the associated interest, as a result of changes in foreign exchange rates as “Foreign currency exchange (loss) gain” on our income statement (losses of $1.1 million and $28.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, as compared to gains of $102.9 million and $138.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively).
Mortgage Notes
We assumed our non-recourse mortgage debt in connection with property acquisitions, and we recorded such debt at fair value with any premium or discount to the stated note balance amortized using the effective interest method.

The holders of our Preferred Shares have general preference rights with respect to liquidation, quarterly distributions, and any accumulated unpaid distributions. Except as noted below, holders of the Preferred Shares do not have voting rights. In the event of a cumulative arrearage equal to six quarterly dividends, holders of all outstanding series of preferred shares (voting as a single class without regard to series) will have the right to elect two additional members to serve on our Board of Trustees (our “Board”) until the arrearage has been cured. At June 30, 2023, there were no dividends in arrears. The affirmative vote of at least 66.67% of the outstanding shares of a series of Preferred Shares is required for any material and adverse amendment to the terms of such series. The affirmative vote of at least 66.67% of the outstanding shares of all of our Preferred Shares, voting as a single class, is required to issue shares ranking senior to our Preferred Shares.
Except under certain conditions relating to the Company’s qualification as a REIT, the Preferred Shares are not redeemable prior to the dates indicated on the table above. On or after the respective dates, each of the series of Preferred Shares is redeemable at our option, in whole or in part, at $25.00 per depositary share, plus accrued and unpaid dividends. Holders of the Preferred Shares cannot require us to redeem such shares.
Upon issuance of our Preferred Shares, we classify the liquidation value as preferred equity on our consolidated balance sheet with any issuance costs recorded as a reduction to Paid-in capital.
Dividends
On February 4, 2023, our Board of Trustees declared a 50% increase in its regular common quarterly dividend from $2.00 to $3.00 per share. The distribution equates to an annualized increase to the Company’s regular common dividend from $8.00 to $12.00 per share.

10.Related Party Transactions
At June 30, 2023, Tamara Hughes Gustavson, a current member of our Board, held less than a 0.1% equity interest in, and is a manager of, a limited liability company that owns 65 self-storage facilities in Canada. Two of Ms. Gustavson’s adult children owned the remaining equity interest in the limited liability company. These facilities operate under the Public Storage® tradename, which we license to the owners of these facilities for use in Canada on a royalty-free, non-exclusive basis. We have no ownership interest in these facilities and we do not own or operate any facilities in Canada. If we chose to acquire or develop our own facilities in Canada, we would have to share the use of the Public Storage® name in Canada. We have a right of first refusal, subject to limitations, to acquire the stock or assets of the corporation engaged in the operation of these facilities if their owners agree to sell them. Our subsidiaries reinsure risks relating to loss of goods stored by customers in these facilities, and have received premium payments of approximately $1.1 million for each of the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.
11.Share-Based Compensation
Under various share-based compensation plans and under terms established or modified by our Board or a committee thereof, we grant equity awards to trustees, officers, and key employees, including non-qualified options to purchase the Company’s common shares, restricted share units (“RSUs”), deferred share units (“DSUs”), and unrestricted common shares issued in lieu of trustee compensation.
We recorded share-based compensation expense associated with our equity awards in the various expense categories in the Consolidated Statements of Income as set forth in the following table. In addition, $0.6 million and $1.3 million share-based compensation cost was capitalized as real estate facilities for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, as compared to $1.1 million and $2.1 million for the same periods of 2022, respectively.

Stock Options
We have service-based and performance-based stock options outstanding. Performance-based stock options outstanding vest upon meeting certain performance conditions or market conditions. Stock options generally vest over 3 to 5 years, expire 10 years after the grant date, and have an exercise price equal to the closing trading price of our common shares on the grant date. New shares are issued for options exercised. Employees cannot require the Company to settle their awards in cash.
During the six months ended June 30, 2023, 177,168 stock options were granted, 174,569 options were exercised, and 41,307 options were forfeited. A total of 3,125,775 stock options were outstanding at June 30, 2023 (3,164,483 at December 31, 2022).
During the six months ended June 30, 2023, we granted 60,000 stock options in connection with non-management trustee compensation. For the remaining 117,168 stock options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2023, vesting is dependent upon meeting certain market conditions over the three-year period from March 15, 2023 through March 14, 2026, with continued service-based vesting through the first quarter of 2028. These stock options require relative achievement of the Company’s total shareholder return as compared to the weighted average total shareholder return of specified peer groups and can result in grantees earning up to 200% of the target options originally granted.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, we incurred share-based compensation cost for outstanding stock options of $4.6 million and $7.8 million, respectively, as compared to $7.7 million and $11.6 million for the same periods in 2022.
Restricted Share Units
We have service-based and performance-based RSUs outstanding, which generally vest over 5 to 8 years from the grant date. Performance-based RSUs outstanding vest upon meeting certain performance conditions or market conditions. Upon vesting, the grantee receives new common shares equal to the number of vested RSUs, less common shares withheld to satisfy the grantee’s statutory tax liabilities arising from the vesting.
During the six months ended June 30, 2023, 38,895 RSUs were granted, 18,193 RSUs were forfeited and 70,848 RSUs vested. The vesting resulted in the issuance of 51,350 common shares. A total of 425,901 RSUs were outstanding at June 30, 2023 (476,047 at December 31, 2022).
Among the 38,895 RSUs granted during the six months ended June 30, 2023, 37,211 RSUs were awarded where vesting is dependent upon meeting certain market conditions over a three-year period from March 15, 2023 through March 14, 2026, with continued service-based vesting through the first quarter of 2028. These RSUs require relative achievement of the Company’s total shareholder return as compared to the weighted average total shareholder return of specified peer groups and can result in grantees earning up to 200% of the target RSUs originally granted.
Also included in the RSUs granted during the six months ended June 30, 2023 are 1,684 service-based RSUs.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, we incurred share-based compensation cost for RSUs of $7.7 million and $14.9 million, respectively, as compared to $10.1 million and $20.9 million for the same periods in 2022.
Trustee Deferral Program
Non-management trustees may elect to receive all or a portion of their cash retainers in cash, unrestricted common shares, or fully-vested DSUs to be settled at a specified future date. Unrestricted common shares and/or DSUs will be granted to the non-management trustee on the last day of each calendar quarter based on the cash retainer earned for that quarter and converted into a number of shares or units based on the applicable closing price of our common shares on such date. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, we granted 1,018 DSUs and 432 unrestricted common shares. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, 867 previously granted DSUs were settled in common shares.

12. Net Income per Common Share
We allocate net income to (i) noncontrolling interests based upon their contractual rights in the respective subsidiaries or for participating noncontrolling interests based upon their participation in both distributed and undistributed earnings of the Company, (ii) preferred shareholders, for distributions paid or payable, (iii) preferred shareholders, to the extent redemption cost exceeds the related original net issuance proceeds (a “preferred share redemption charge”), and (iv) RSUs, for non-forfeitable dividends paid and adjusted for participation rights in undistributed earnings of the Company.
We calculate basic and diluted net income per common share based upon net income allocable to common shareholders, divided by (i) weighted average common shares for basic net income per common share, and (ii) weighted average common shares adjusted for the impact of dilutive stock options outstanding for diluted net income per common share. Potentially dilutive stock options representing 321,070 common shares were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, as compared to 142,683 common shares for the same periods in 2022, because their effect would have been antidilutive.
The following table reconciles the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted net income per common shares computation for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively (in thousands, except per share amounts):
