SALT LAKE CITY—Locally based Extra Space Storage Inc. has revealed its operating results—results that CEO Spencer Kirk called “record breaking.” According to Kirk, “2015 was a record-breaking year for Extra Space in all operational categories including occupancy, revenue, NOI growth, and the expansion of our footprint by 24%.”

He continues that the “performance and growth resulted in our inclusion in the S&P 500. Market conditions continue to be favorable for the storage sector in 2016, and we are poised to extract efficiencies from our size and scale.”

That sentiment was echoed by analyst Wes Golladay of RBC Capital Markets who expects strong organic growth with elevated acquisition pace going forward.

Golladay says that the firm met and beat consensus estimates. “EXR reported adjusted FFO/share of $0.87, which met our estimate and beat the consensus estimate of $0.82. Total NOI was in line with our expectation while higher tenant reinsurance income was offset by high income taxes. Same store revenue growth excluding tenant reinsurance remained elevated at 9.8%, leading to another healthy quarter of NOI growth of 11.8%. Excluding tenant reinsurance, NOI grew by double digits in each quarter of 2015.”

Golladay also notes that West Coast and Florida markets outperformed. “EXR's largest West Coast and Florida markets outperformed in 4Q15, posting average year-over-year revenue of 12%. Demand continued to outpace supply, with occupancy at same store and total stabilized properties up 160bps and 180bps year-over-year, respectively.”
