STATEMENT ON FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

Certain information presented in this report contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws. Forward-looking statements include statements concerning our plans, objectives, goals, strategies, future events, future revenues or performance, capital expenditures, financing needs, plans or intentions relating to acquisitions and other information that is not historical information. In some cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by terminology such as “believes,” “expects,” “estimates,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “anticipates” or “intends,” or the negative of such terms or other comparable terminology, or by discussions of strategy. We may also make additional forward-looking statements from time to time. All such subsequent forward-looking statements, whether written or oral, by us or on our behalf, are also expressly qualified by these cautionary statements.

All forward-looking statements, including without limitation, management’s examination of historical operating trends and estimates of future earnings, are based upon our current expectations and various assumptions. Our expectations, beliefs and projections are expressed in good faith and we believe there is a reasonable basis for them, but there can be no assurance that management’s expectations, beliefs and projections will result or be achieved. All forward-looking statements apply only as of the date made. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise forward-looking statements which may be made to reflect events or circumstances after the date made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

There are a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements contained in or contemplated by this report. Any forward-looking statements should be considered in light of the risks referenced in “Part II. Item 1A. Risk Factors” below and in “Part I. Item 1A. Risk Factors” included in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K. Such factors include, but are not limited to:

· adverse changes in general economic conditions, the real estate industry and the markets in which we operate;

· failure to close pending acquisitions on expected terms, or at all;

· the effect of competition from new and existing self-storage facilities or other storage alternatives, which could cause rents and occupancy rates to decline;

· difficulties in our ability to evaluate, finance, complete and integrate acquisitions and developments successfully and to lease up those properties, which could adversely affect our profitability;

· potential liability for uninsured losses and environmental contamination;

· the impact of the regulatory environment as well as national, state and local laws and regulations including, without limitation, those governing real estate investment trusts (“REITs”), tenant reinsurance and other aspects of our business, which could adversely affect our results;

· disruptions in credit and financial markets and resulting difficulties in raising capital or obtaining credit at reasonable rates or at all, which could impede our ability to grow;

· increased interest rates and operating costs;

· reductions in asset valuations and related impairment charges;

· the failure of our joint venture partners to fulfill their obligations to us or their pursuit of actions that are inconsistent with our objectives;

· the failure to maintain our REIT status for federal income tax purposes;

· economic uncertainty due to the impact of war or terrorism, which could adversely affect our business plan; and

· difficulties in our ability to attract and retain qualified personnel and management members.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)

Amounts in thousands, except property and share data, unless otherwise stated

1. ORGANIZATION

Extra Space Storage Inc. (the “Company”) is a fully-integrated, self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust (“REIT”), formed as a Maryland corporation on April 30, 2004, to own, operate, manage, acquire, develop and redevelop professionally managed self-storage facilities located throughout the United States. The Company continues the business of Extra Space Storage LLC and its subsidiaries, which had engaged in the self-storage business since 1977. The Company’s interest in its properties is held through its operating partnership, Extra Space Storage LP (the “Operating Partnership”), which was formed on May 5, 2004. The Company’s primary assets are general partner and limited partner interests in the Operating Partnership. This structure is commonly referred to as an umbrella partnership REIT (“UPREIT”). The Company has elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. To the extent the Company continues to qualify as a REIT, it will not be subject to tax, with certain limited exceptions, on the taxable income that is distributed to its stockholders.

The Company invests in self-storage facilities by acquiring wholly-owned facilities or by acquiring an equity interest in real estate entities. At June 30, 2014, the Company had direct and indirect equity interests in 807 operating storage facilities. In addition, the Company managed 264 properties for third parties, bringing the total number of operating properties which it owns and/or manages to 1,071. These properties are located in 35 states, Washington, D.C. and Puerto Rico.

The Company operates in three distinct segments: (1) rental operations; (2) tenant reinsurance; and (3) property management, acquisition and development. The rental operations activities include rental operations of self-storage facilities in which we have an ownership interest. No single tenant accounts for more than 5% of rental income. Tenant reinsurance activities include the reinsurance of risks relating to the loss of goods stored by tenants in the Company’s self-storage facilities. The Company’s property management, acquisition and development activities include managing, acquiring, developing and selling self-storage facilities.

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company are presented on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information, and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they may not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (including normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2014, are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2014. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2013 has been derived from the Company’s audited financial statements as of that date, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. For further information refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Certain amounts in the Company’s 2013 consolidated financial statements and supporting note disclosures have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. Such reclassifications did not impact previously reported net income or accumulated deficit.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASU 2014-09”). ASU 2014-09 amends the guidance for revenue recognition to replace numerous, industry-specific requirements and converges areas under this topic with those of the International Financial Reporting Standards. ASU 2014-09 outlines a five-step process for customer contract revenue recognition that focuses on transfer of control, as opposed to transfer of risk and rewards. The amendment also requires enhanced disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenues and cash flows from contracts with customers. ASU 2014-09 is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and early adoption is prohibited. Entities can transition to the standard either retrospectively or as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. Management is currently assessing the impact of the adoption of ASU 2014-09 on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

3. FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES

Derivative Financial Instruments

Currently, the Company uses interest rate swaps to manage its interest rate risk. The valuation of these instruments is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves. The fair values of interest rate swaps are determined using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash payments and the discounted expected variable cash receipts. The variable cash receipts are based on an expectation of future interest rates (forward curves) derived from observable market interest rate forward curves.

The Company incorporates credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both its own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements. In adjusting the fair value of its derivative contracts for the effect of nonperformance risk, the Company has considered the impact of netting and any applicable credit enhancements, such as collateral postings, thresholds, mutual puts and guarantees. In conjunction with the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s fair value measurement guidance, the Company made an accounting policy election to measure the credit risk of its derivative financial instruments that are subject to master netting agreements on a net basis by counterparty portfolio.

Although the Company has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with its derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by the Company and its counterparties. However, as of June 30, 2014, the Company had assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of its derivative positions and determined that the credit valuation adjustments were not significant to the overall valuation of its derivatives. As a result, the Company determined that its derivative valuations in their entirety were classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

The table below presents the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2014, aggregated by the level in the fair value hierarchy within which those measurements fall.

				Fair Value Measurements at Reporting Date Using
Description	June 30, 2014			Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)			Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)
Other assets - Cash Flow Hedge Swap Agreements	$	4,691		$	—	$	4,691		$	—
Other liabilities - Cash Flow Hedge Swap Agreements	$	(3,194	)	$	—	$	(3,194	)	$	—

There were no transfers of assets and liabilities between Level 1 and Level 2 during the six months ended June 30, 2014. The Company did not have any significant assets or liabilities that are re-measured on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs as of June 30, 2014 or December 31, 2013.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

Long-lived assets held for use are evaluated for impairment when events or circumstances indicate there may be impairment. The Company reviews each self-storage facility at least annually to determine if any such events or circumstances have occurred or exist. The Company focuses on facilities where occupancy and/or rental income have decreased by a significant amount. For these facilities, the Company determines whether the decrease is temporary or permanent, and whether the facility will likely recover the lost occupancy and/or revenue in the short term. In addition, the Company carefully reviews facilities in the lease-up stage and compares actual operating results to original projections.

When the Company determines that an event that may indicate impairment has occurred, the Company compares the carrying value of the related long-lived assets to the undiscounted future net operating cash flows attributable to the assets. An impairment loss is recorded if the net carrying value of the assets exceeds the undiscounted future net operating cash flows attributable to the assets. The impairment loss recognized equals the excess of net carrying value over the related fair value of the assets.

When real estate assets are identified by management as held for sale, the Company discontinues depreciating the assets and estimates the fair value of the assets, net of selling costs. If the estimated fair value, net of selling costs, of the assets that have been identified as held for sale is less than the net carrying value of the assets, then a valuation allowance is established. The operations of assets held for sale or sold during the period are generally presented as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

The Company assesses whether there are any indicators that the value of its investments in unconsolidated real estate ventures may be impaired annually and when events or circumstances indicate there may be impairment. An investment is impaired if management’s estimate of the fair value of the investment is less than its carrying value. To the extent impairment has occurred, and is considered to be other than temporary, the loss is measured as the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of the investment.

In connection with the Company’s acquisition of self-storage facilities, the purchase price is allocated to the tangible and intangible assets and liabilities acquired based on their fair values, which are estimated using significant unobservable inputs. The value of the tangible assets, consisting of land and buildings, is determined as if vacant. Intangible assets, which represent the value of existing tenant relationships, are recorded at their fair values based on the avoided cost to replace the current leases. The Company measures the value of tenant relationships based on the rent lost due to the amount of time required to replace existing customers, which is based on the Company’s historical experience with turnover in its facilities. Debt assumed as part of an acquisition is recorded at fair value based on current interest rates compared to contractual rates. Acquisition-related transaction costs are expensed as incurred.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, receivables, other financial instruments included in other assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses, variable-rate notes payable, lines of credit and other liabilities reflected in the condensed consolidated balance sheets at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 approximate fair value.

The fair value of the Company’s note receivable from Preferred Operating Partnership unit holders was based on the discounted estimated future cash flows of the note (categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy); the discount rate used approximated the current market rate for loans with similar maturities and credit quality. The fair values of the Company’s fixed-rate notes payable and notes payable to trusts were estimated using the discounted estimated future cash payments to be made on such debt (categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy); the discount rates used approximated current market rates for loans, or groups of loans, with similar maturities and credit quality. The fair value of the Company’s exchangeable senior notes was estimated using an average market price for similar securities obtained from a third party.

The fair values of the Company’s fixed-rate assets and liabilities were as follows for the periods indicated:

	June 30, 2014				December 31, 2013
	Fair		Carrying		Fair		Carrying
	Value		Value		Value		Value
Note receivable from Preferred Operating Partnership unit holders	$	102,045	$	100,000	$	103,491	$	100,000
Fixed rate notes payable and notes payable to trusts	$	1,379,655	$	1,351,136	$	1,365,290	$	1,368,885
Exchangeable senior notes	$	269,525	$	250,000	$	251,103	$	250,000

4. EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE

Basic earnings per common share is computed using the two-class method by dividing net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. All outstanding unvested restricted stock awards contain rights to non-forfeitable dividends and participate in undistributed earnings with common stockholders; accordingly, they are considered participating securities that are included in the two-class method. Diluted earnings per common share measures the performance of the Company over the reporting period while giving effect to all potential common shares that were dilutive and outstanding during the period. The denominator includes the weighted average number of basic shares and the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares that were dilutive had been issued, and is calculated using either the two-class, treasury stock or as if-converted method, whichever is most dilutive. Potential common shares are securities (such as options, convertible debt, Series A Participating Redeemable Preferred Units (“Series A Units”), Series B Redeemable Preferred Units (“Series B Units”), Series C Convertible Redeemable Preferred Units (“Series C Units”) and common Operating Partnership units (“OP Units”)) that do not have a current right to participate in earnings of the Company but could do so in the future by virtue of their option, redemption or conversion right. In computing the dilutive effect of convertible securities, net income is adjusted to add back any changes in earnings in the period associated with the convertible security. The numerator also is adjusted for the effects of any other non-discretionary changes in income or loss that would result from the assumed conversion of those potential common shares. In computing diluted earnings per common share, only potential common shares that are dilutive (those that reduce earnings per common share) are included. For the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, options to purchase approximately 33,059 and 52,471 shares of common stock, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and

Table of Contents

2013, options to purchase approximately 25,068 and 39,171 shares of common stock, respectively, were excluded from the computation of earnings per common share as their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

The Operating Partnership had $250,000 of its 2.375% Exchangeable Senior Notes due 2033 (the “Notes”) issued and outstanding as of June 30, 2014. The Notes could potentially have a dilutive effect on the Company’s earnings per common share calculations. The Notes are exchangeable by holders into shares of the Company’s common stock under certain circumstances per the terms of the indenture governing the Notes. The exchange price of the Notes was $55.62 per share as of June 30, 2014, and could change over time as described in the indenture. The Company has irrevocably agreed to pay only cash for the accreted principal amount of the Notes relative to its exchange obligations, but retained the right to satisfy the exchange obligation in excess of the accreted principal amount in cash and/or common stock. Though the Company has retained that right, Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 260, “Earnings per Share,” requires an assumption that shares would be used to pay the exchange obligation in excess of the accreted principal amount, and requires that those shares be included in the Company’s calculation of weighted average common shares outstanding for the diluted earnings per common share computation. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, no shares related to the Notes were included in the computation for diluted earnings per common share as the per share price of the Company’s common stock during this period did not exceed the exchange price.

For the purposes of computing the diluted impact on earnings per common share of the potential exchange of Series A Units for common shares upon redemption, where the Company has the option to redeem in cash or shares and where the Company has stated the positive intent and ability to settle at least $115,000 of the instrument in cash (or net settle a portion of the Series A Units against the related outstanding note receivable), only the amount of the instrument in excess of $115,000 is considered in the calculation of shares contingently issuable for the purposes of computing diluted earnings per common share as allowed by ASC 260-10-45-46.

For the purposes of computing the diluted impact on earnings per common share of the potential exchange of Series B Units for common shares upon redemption, where the Company has the option to redeem in cash or shares and where the Company has the ability to settle the redemption in shares, the Company divided the total weighted value of the Series B Units outstanding as of June 30, 2014 of $37,666 by the average closing price of the Company’s common stock for the six months ended June 30, 2014 of $48.99 per share. The resulting 768,853 shares were excluded from the computation of earnings per common share as their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

For the purposes of computing the diluted impact on earnings per common share of the potential exchange of Series C Units for common shares upon redemption, where the Company has the option to redeem in cash or shares and where the Company has the ability to settle the redemption in shares, the Company divided the total weighted value of the Series C Units outstanding as of June 30, 2014 of $21,255 by the average closing price of the Company’s common stock for the six months ended June 30, 2014 of $48.99 per share. The resulting 433,854 shares were excluded from the computation of earnings per common share as their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

(1) This property was owned by Spencer F. Kirk, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, and Kenneth M. Woolley, the Company’s Executive Chairman. The Company acquired the building on March 4, 2014. In a separate transaction on March 5, 2014, the Company acquired the land for $2,150 from a third party unrelated to the Company’s executives and terminated the existing ground lease.

(2) The Company previously held an equity interest in one of three properties acquired. The Company acquired its joint venture partner’s 60% interest in an existing joint venture which held the one property in California, resulting in full ownership by the Company. Prior to the acquisition date, the Company accounted for its 40% interest in this joint venture as an equity method investment. The total acquisition date fair value of the previous equity interest was approximately $3,567 and is included as consideration transferred. The Company recognized a non-cash gain of $3,438 as a result of re-measuring its prior equity interest in this joint venture held before the acquisition. The three properties were acquired in exchange for approximately $2,726 of cash and 226,285 Series C Units valued at $10,451.

6. GAIN (LOSS) ON SALE OF REAL ESTATE AND EARNOUT FROM PRIOR ACQUISITION

During 2012, the Company acquired a portfolio of ten self-storage properties located in New York and New Jersey. As part of this acquisition, the Company agreed to make an additional cash payment to the sellers if the properties acquired exceeded a specified amount of net rental income after two years. At the time of acquisition, the Company believed that it was unlikely that any significant payment would be made as a result of this earnout provision. The rental income of the properties has been higher than expected, resulting in a payment due to the sellers of $7,785. This amount is included in “Gain (loss) on sale of real estate and earnout from prior acquisition” on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations.

In June 2013, the Company recorded a gain of $800 due to the condemnation of a portion of land at one self-storage property in California that resulted from eminent domain.

7. VARIABLE INTERESTS

The Company has an interest in one unconsolidated joint venture with an unrelated third party which is a variable interest entity (“VIE”). The Company holds an 18% equity interest and a 50% profit interest in the VIE joint venture (“VIE JV”), and has 50% of the voting rights in the VIE JV. Qualification as a VIE was based on the determination that the equity investment at risk for this joint venture was not sufficient based on a qualitative and quantitative analysis performed by the Company. The Company performed a qualitative analysis for the joint venture to determine which party was the primary beneficiary. The Company determined that since the powers to direct the activities most significant to the economic performance of the entity are shared equally by the Company and its joint venture partner, there is no primary beneficiary. Accordingly, the interest is recorded using the equity method.

The VIE JV owns a single self-storage property. This joint venture is financed through a combination of (1) equity contributions from the Company and its joint venture partner and (2) amounts payable to the Company. The amounts payable to the Company consist of expenses paid on behalf of the joint venture by the Company as manager and mortgage notes payable to the Company. The Company performs management services for the VIE JV in exchange for a management fee of approximately 6% of cash collected by the property. The Company completed the purchase of the VIE JV’s mortgage loan on April 3, 2014. Except as disclosed, the Company has not provided financial or other support during the periods presented to the VIE JV that it was not previously contractually obligated to provide.

Table of Contents

The Company’s maximum exposure to loss for this joint venture as of June 30, 2014 is the total of the amounts payable to the Company and the Company’s investment balance in the joint venture. The Company believes that the risk of incurring a material loss as a result of its investment in the property is unlikely and, therefore, no liability has been recorded. Also, repossessing and/or selling the self-storage facility and land that collateralize the amounts payable to the Company could provide funds sufficient to reimburse the Company.

The following table compares the liability balance and the maximum exposure to loss related to the Company’s VIE JV as of June 30, 2014:

						Amounts		Maximum
	Liability		Investment			Payable to the		Exposure
	Balance		Balance			Company		to Loss		Difference
Extra Space of Sacramento One LLC	$	—	$	(1,203	)	$	10,819	$	9,616	$	(9,616	)

The Operating Partnership has three wholly-owned unconsolidated subsidiaries (“Trust,” “Trust II” and “Trust III,” together, the “Trusts”) that have issued trust preferred securities to third parties and common securities to the Operating Partnership. The proceeds from the sale of the preferred and common securities were loaned in the form of notes to the Operating Partnership. The Trusts are VIEs because the holders of the equity investment at risk (the trust preferred securities) do not have the power to direct the activities of the entities that most significantly affect the entities’ economic performance because of their lack of voting or similar rights. Because the Operating Partnership’s investment in the Trusts’ common securities was financed directly by the Trusts as a result of its loan of the proceeds to the Operating Partnership, that investment is not considered an equity investment at risk. The Operating Partnership’s investment in the Trusts is not a variable interest because equity interests are variable interests only to the extent that the investment is considered to be at risk, and therefore the Operating Partnership cannot be the primary beneficiary of the Trusts. Since the Company is not the primary beneficiary of the Trusts, they have not been consolidated. A debt obligation has been recorded in the form of notes for the proceeds as discussed above, which are owed to the Trusts. The Company has also included its investment in the Trusts’ common securities in other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The Company has not provided financing or other support during the periods presented to the Trusts that it was not previously contractually obligated to provide. The Company’s maximum exposure to loss as a result of its involvement with the Trusts is equal to the total amount of the notes discussed above less the amounts of the Company’s investments in the Trusts’ common securities. The net amount is the notes payable that the Trusts owe to third parties for their investments in the Trusts’ preferred securities.

Following is a tabular comparison of the liabilities the Company has recorded as a result of its involvement with the Trusts to the maximum exposure to loss the Company is subject to as a result of such involvement as of June 30, 2014:

	Notes payable		Investment		Maximum
	to Trusts		Balance		exposure to loss		Difference
Trust	$	36,083	$	1,083	$	35,000	$	—
Trust II	42,269		1,269		41,000		—
Trust III	41,238		1,238		40,000		—
	$	119,590	$	3,590	$	116,000	$	—

The Company had no consolidated VIEs during the six months ended June 30, 2014.

8. DERIVATIVES

The Company is exposed to certain risks arising from both its business operations and economic conditions. The Company principally manages its exposures to a wide variety of business and operational risks through management of its core business activities. The Company manages economic risks, including interest rate, liquidity and credit risk, primarily by managing the amount, sources and duration of its debt funding and by using derivative financial instruments. Specifically, the Company enters into derivative financial instruments to manage exposure that arises from business activities that result in the receipt or payment of future known and uncertain cash amounts, the value of which are determined by interest rates. The Company’s derivative financial instruments are used to manage differences in the amount, timing and duration of the Company’s known or expected cash receipts and its known or expected cash payments principally related to the Company’s investments and borrowings.

Table of Contents

Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk

The Company’s objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish these objectives, the Company primarily uses interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount.

The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (“OCI”) and is subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. A portion of these changes is excluded from accumulated other comprehensive income as it is allocated to noncontrolling interests. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, such derivatives were used to hedge the variable cash flows associated with existing variable-rate debt.

The following table summarizes the terms of the Company’s 22 derivative financial instruments as of June 30, 2014:

Hedge Product		Current Notional Amounts		Strike		Effective Dates		Maturity Dates
Swap Agreements		$4,718 - $95,372		2.79% - 6.32%		7/1/2009 - 1/1/2014		7/1/2014 - 4/1/2021

Credit-risk-related Contingent Features

The Company has agreements with some of its derivative counterparties that contain provisions pursuant to which, the Company could be declared in default of its derivative obligations if the Company defaults on any of its indebtedness, including default where repayment of the indebtedness has not been accelerated by the lender.

The Company also has an agreement with some of its derivative counterparties that incorporates the loan covenant provisions of the Company’s indebtedness with a lender affiliate of the derivative counterparty. Failure to comply with the loan covenant provisions would result in the Company being in default on any derivative instrument obligations covered by the agreement.

As of June 30, 2014, the fair value of derivatives in a net liability position, which includes accrued interest but excludes any adjustment for nonperformance risk related to these agreements, was $3,194. As of June 30, 2014, the Company had not posted any collateral related to these agreements. If the Company had breached any of these provisions as of June 30, 2014, it could have been required to settle its obligations under the agreements at their termination value of $3,533.

9. EXCHANGEABLE SENIOR NOTES

On June 21, 2013, the Operating Partnership issued $250,000 of its 2.375% Exchangeable Senior Notes due 2033 at a 1.5% discount, or $3,750. Costs incurred to issue the Notes were approximately $1,672. These costs are being amortized as an adjustment to interest expense over five years, which represents the estimated term based on the first available redemption date, and are included in other assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Notes are general unsecured senior obligations of the Operating Partnership and are fully guaranteed by the Company. Interest is payable on January 1 and July 1 of each year beginning January 1, 2014, until the maturity date of July 1, 2033. The Notes bear interest at 2.375% per annum and contain an exchange settlement feature, which provides that the Notes may, under certain circumstances, be exchangeable for cash (for the principal amount of the Notes) and, with respect to any excess exchange value, for cash, shares of the Company’s common stock, or a combination of cash and shares of the Company’s common stock, at the Company’s option. The exchange rate of the Notes as of June 30, 2014 is approximately 17.98 shares of the Company’s common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes.

The Operating Partnership may redeem the Notes at any time to preserve the Company’s status as a REIT. In addition, on or after July 5, 2018, the Operating Partnership may redeem the Notes for cash, in whole or in part, at 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, upon at least 30 days but not more than 60 days prior written notice to the holders of the Notes. The holders of the Notes have the right to require the Operating Partnership to repurchase the Notes for cash, in whole or in part, on July 1 of the years 2018, 2023, and 2028, and upon the occurrence of certain designated events, in each case for a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest. Certain events are considered “Events of Default,” as defined in the indenture governing the Notes, which may result in the accelerated maturity of the Notes.

GAAP requires entities with convertible debt instruments that may be settled entirely or partially in cash upon conversion to separately account for the liability and equity components of the instrument in a manner that reflects the issuer’s economic interest cost. The Company therefore accounts for the liability and equity components of the Notes separately. The equity component is included in paid-in capital in stockholders’ equity in the condensed consolidated balance sheets, and the value of the equity component is treated as original issue discount for purposes of accounting for the debt component. The discount is being amortized as interest expense over the remaining period of the debt through its first redemption date, July 1, 2018. The effective interest rate on the liability component is 4.0%.

Information about the carrying amount of the equity component, the principal amount of the liability component, its unamortized discount and its net carrying amount for the Notes was as follows for the periods indicated:

	June 30, 2014			December 31, 2013

10. NONCONTROLLING INTEREST REPRESENTED BY PREFERRED OPERATING PARTNERSHIP UNITS

Classification of Noncontrolling Interests

GAAP requires a company to present ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the company in the consolidated financial statements within the equity section, but separate from the company’s equity. It also requires the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest to be clearly identified and presented on the face of the consolidated statement of operations and requires changes in ownership interest to be accounted for similarly as equity transactions. If noncontrolling interests are determined to be redeemable, they are to be carried at their redemption value as of the balance sheet date and reported as temporary equity.

The Company has evaluated the terms of the Operating Partnership’s preferred units and classifies the noncontrolling interest represented by such preferred units as stockholders’ equity in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company will periodically evaluate individual noncontrolling interests for the ability to continue to recognize the noncontrolling interest as permanent equity in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Any noncontrolling interests that fail to qualify as permanent equity will be reclassified as temporary equity and adjusted to the greater of (1) the carrying amount and (2) the redemption value as of the end of the period in which the determination is made.

Series A Participating Redeemable Preferred Units

On June 15, 2007, the Operating Partnership entered into a Contribution Agreement with various limited partnerships affiliated with AAAAA Rent-A-Space to acquire ten self-storage facilities in exchange for 989,980 Series A Units of the Operating Partnership. The self-storage facilities are located in California and Hawaii.

On June 25, 2007, the Operating Partnership loaned the holders of the Series A Units $100,000. The note receivable bears interest at 4.85% and is due September 1, 2020. The loan is secured by the borrower’s Series A Units. The holders of the Series A Units can redeem up to 114,500 Series A Units prior to the maturity date of the loan. If any redemption in excess of 114,500 Series A Units occurs prior to the maturity date, the holder of the Series A Units is required to repay the loan as of the date of that redemption. The Series A Units are shown on the condensed consolidated balance sheets net of the $100,000 loan because the borrower under the loan receivable is also the holder of the Series A Units.

The partnership agreement of the Operating Partnership (as amended, the “Partnership Agreement”) provides for the designation and issuance of the Series A Units. The Series A Units will have priority over all other partnership interests of the Operating Partnership with respect to distributions and liquidation.

Under the Partnership Agreement, Series A Units in the amount of $115,000 bear a fixed priority return of 5% and have a fixed liquidation value of $115,000. The remaining balance participates in distributions with, and has a liquidation value equal to, that of the OP Units. The Series A Units are redeemable at the option of the holder, which redemption obligation may be satisfied, at the Company’s option, in cash or shares of its common stock.

Series B Redeemable Preferred Units

On April 3, 2014, the Operating Partnership completed the purchase of a self-storage facility located in Georgia. This property was acquired in exchange for $15,158 of cash and 333,360 Series B Units valued at $8,334.

On August 29, 2013, the Operating Partnership completed the purchase of 19 out of 20 self-storage facilities affiliated with All Aboard Mini Storage, all of which are located in California. On September 26, 2013, the Operating Partnership completed the purchase of the remaining facility. These properties were acquired in exchange for $100,876 of cash (including $98,960 of debt assumed and immediately defeased at closing), 1,342,727 Series B Units valued at $33,568, and 1,448,108 OP Units valued at $62,341.

Table of Contents

The Partnership Agreement provides for the designation and issuance of the Series B Units. The Series B Units rank junior to the Series A Units, on parity with the Series C Units, and senior to all other partnership interests of the Operating Partnership with respect to distributions and liquidation.

The Series B Units have a liquidation value of $25.00 per unit for a fixed liquidation value of $41,902. Holders of the Series B Units receive distributions at an annual rate of 6%. These distributions are cumulative and accrue each quarter regardless of the declaration of dividends or distributions. The Series B Units will become redeemable at the option of the holder on the first anniversary of the date of issuance, which redemption obligation may be satisfied at the Company’s option in cash or shares of its common stock.

Series C Convertible Redeemable Preferred Units

On November 19, 2013, the Company entered into Contribution Agreements with various entities affiliated with Grupe Properties Co. Inc. (“Grupe”), under which the Company agreed to acquire 12 self-storage facilities, all of which are located in California. The Company completed the purchase of these self-storage facilities between December 2013 and May 2014. The Company previously held 35% interests in five of these properties and a 40% interest in one property through six separate joint ventures with Grupe. These properties were acquired in exchange for a total of approximately $45,722 of cash, the assumption of $37,532 in existing debt, and the issuance of 704,016 Series C Units valued at $30,960.

The Partnership Agreement provides for the designation and issuance of the Series C Units. The Series C Units rank junior to the Series A Units, on parity with the Series B Units, and senior to all other partnership interests of the Operating Partnership with respect to distributions and liquidation.

The Series C Units have a liquidation value of $42.10 per unit for a fixed liquidation value of $29,639. From issuance to the fifth anniversary of issuance, each Series C Unit holder will receive quarterly distributions equal to the quarterly distribution per OP Unit plus $0.18. Beginning on the fifth anniversary of issuance, each Series C Unit holder will receive a fixed quarterly distribution equal to the aggregate quarterly distribution payable in respect of such Series C Unit during the four quarters immediately preceding the fifth anniversary of issuance, divided by four. These distributions are cumulative. The Series C Units will become redeemable at the option of the holder one year from the date of issuance, which redemption obligation may be satisfied at the Company’s option in cash or shares of its common stock. The Series C Units will also become convertible into OP Units at the option of the holder one year from the date of issuance, at a rate of 0.9145 OP Units per Series C Unit converted. This conversion option expires upon the fifth anniversary of the date of issuance.

11. NONCONTROLLING INTEREST IN OPERATING PARTNERSHIP

The Company’s interest in its properties is held through the Operating Partnership. ESS Holding Business Trust I, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership. ESS Holding Business Trust II, also a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, is a limited partner of the Operating Partnership. Between its general partner and limited partner interests, the Company held a 93.8% ownership interest in the Operating Partnership as of June 30, 2014. The remaining ownership interests in the Operating Partnership (including Preferred Operating Partnership units) of 6.2% are held by certain former owners of assets acquired by the Operating Partnership.

The noncontrolling interest in the Operating Partnership represents OP Units that are not owned by the Company. In conjunction with the formation of the Company, and as a result of subsequent acquisitions, certain persons and entities contributing interests in properties to the Operating Partnership received limited partnership interests in the form of OP Units. Limited partners who received OP Units in the formation transactions or in exchange for contributions for interests in properties have the right to require the Operating Partnership to redeem part or all of their OP Units for cash based upon the fair market value of an equivalent number of shares of the Company’s common stock (based on the ten-day average trading price) at the time of the redemption. Alternatively, the Company may, in its sole discretion, elect to acquire those OP Units in exchange for shares of its common stock on a one-for-one basis, subject to anti-dilution adjustments provided in the Partnership Agreement. The ten-day average closing stock price at June 30, 2014 was $53.45 and there were 4,334,118 OP Units outstanding. Assuming that all of the OP Unit holders exercised their right to redeem all of their OP Units on June 30, 2014 and the Company elected to pay the OP Unit holders cash, the Company would have paid $231,659 in cash consideration to redeem the units.

GAAP requires a company to present ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the company in the consolidated financial statements within the equity section, but separate from the company’s equity. It also requires the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest to be clearly identified and presented on the face of the consolidated statement of operations, and requires changes in ownership interest to be accounted for similarly as equity transactions. If noncontrolling interests are determined to be redeemable, they are to be carried at their redemption value as of the balance sheet date and reported as temporary equity.

Table of Contents

The Company has evaluated the terms of the OP Units and classifies the noncontrolling interest represented by the OP Units as stockholders’ equity in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company will periodically evaluate individual noncontrolling interests for the ability to continue to recognize the noncontrolling amount as permanent equity in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Any noncontrolling interests that fail to qualify as permanent equity will be reclassified as temporary equity and adjusted to the greater of (1) the carrying amount and (2) the redemption value as of the end of the period in which the determination is made.

12. OTHER NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS

Other noncontrolling interests represent the ownership interests of various third parties in two consolidated joint ventures as of June 30, 2014. One of these consolidated joint ventures owns one property which was under construction at June 30, 2014. The second consolidated joint venture owns 19 operating properties. The ownership interests of the third-party owners range from 1.0% to 3.3%. Other noncontrolling interests are included in the stockholders’ equity section of the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. The income or losses attributable to these third-party owners based on their ownership percentages are reflected in net income allocated to Operating Partnership and other noncontrolling interests in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

In February 2013, the Company purchased one of its joint venture partner’s 1.7% capital interest and 17% profit interest in one of these consolidated joint ventures for $200. As a result, the Company’s capital interest percentage in this joint venture increased from 95.0% to 96.7%. Since the Company retained its controlling financial interest in the subsidiary, this transaction was accounted for as an equity transaction. The carrying amount of the noncontrolling interest was reduced to reflect the purchase and the difference between the price paid by the Company and the adjustment to the carrying value of the noncontrolling interest was recorded as an adjustment to equity attributable to the parent.

In May 2013, the Company purchased one of its joint venture partner’s 27.7% capital interest and 35.0% profit interest in a previously unconsolidated joint venture for $950. The partner’s interest was reported in other noncontrolling interests prior to the purchase. As a result of the acquisition, the property became wholly-owned by the Company. Since the Company retained its controlling financial interest in the subsidiary, this transaction was accounted for as an equity transaction. The carrying amount of the noncontrolling interest was reduced to zero to reflect the purchase, and the difference between the price paid by the Company and the carrying value of the noncontrolling interest was recorded as an adjustment to equity attributable to the parent.

13. EQUITY IN EARNINGS OF UNCONSOLIDATED REAL ESTATE VENTURES — PURCHASE OF JOINT VENTURE PARTNERS’ INTERESTS

On April 25, 2014, as part of the Grupe acquisition, the Company acquired its joint venture partner’s 60% equity interest in Savi-Ranch SPC, LLC, which owned one self storage property located in California, resulting in full ownership by the Company. Prior to the acquisition, the Company accounted for its 40% interest in this joint venture as an equity-method investment. The total acquisition-date fair value of the previous equity interest was approximately $3,567, and is included as consideration transferred. The Company recognized a non-cash gain of $3,438 as a result of re-measuring its prior equity interest in this joint venture held before the acquisition. This property was acquired in exchange for approximately $1,785 of cash and 101,929 Series C Units valued at $4,291.

On February 13, 2013, the Company acquired its joint venture partner’s 48% equity interest in Extra Space of Eastern Avenue LLC (“Eastern Avenue”), which owned one self-storage property located in Maryland, for approximately $5,979. Prior to the acquisition, the remaining 52% interest was owned by the Company, which accounted for its investment in Eastern Avenue using the equity method. The Company recorded a non-cash gain of $2,215 related to this transaction, which represents the increase in fair value of the Company’s interest in Eastern Avenue from its formation to the acquisition date.

On February 13, 2013, the Company acquired its joint venture partner’s 61% equity interest in Extra Space of Montrose Avenue LLC (“Montrose”), which owned one self-storage property located in Illinois, for approximately $6,878. Prior to the acquisition, the remaining 39% interest was owned by the Company, which accounted for its investment in Montrose using the equity method. The Company recorded a non-cash gain of $341 related to this transaction, which represents the increase in fair value of the Company’s interest in the joint venture from its formation to the acquisition date.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Amounts in thousands, except property and share data

CAUTIONARY LANGUAGE

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our “Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” and the “Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” appearing elsewhere in this report and the “Consolidated Financial Statements,” “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” contained in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. We make statements in this section that are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. For a complete discussion of forward-looking statements, see the section in this Form 10-Q entitled “Statement on Forward-Looking Information.”

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contained elsewhere in this report, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. Our notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contained elsewhere in this report and the audited financial statements contained in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 describe the significant accounting policies essential to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Preparation of our financial statements requires estimates, judgments and assumptions. We believe that the estimates, judgments and assumptions that we have used are appropriate and correct based on information available at the time they were made. These estimates, judgments and assumptions can affect our reported assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported revenues and expenses during the period presented. If there are material differences between these estimates, judgments and assumptions and actual facts, our financial statements may be affected.

In many cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated by GAAP and does not require our judgment in its application. There are areas in which our judgment in selecting among available alternatives would not produce a materially different result, but there are some areas in which our judgment in selecting among available alternatives would produce a materially different result. See the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements that contain additional information regarding our accounting policies and other disclosures.

OVERVIEW

We are a fully integrated, self-administered and self-managed REIT, formed to continue the business commenced in 1977 by Extra Space Storage LLC and its subsidiaries to own, operate, manage, acquire, develop and redevelop professionally managed self-storage facilities.

We derive substantially all of our revenues from rents received from tenants under leases at each of our wholly-owned self-storage properties; from management fees on the properties we manage for joint venture partners and unaffiliated third parties; and from our tenant reinsurance program. Our management fee is generally equal to approximately 6% of cash collected from the managed properties. We also receive an asset management fee of 0.5% of the total asset value from one of our joint ventures.

We operate in competitive markets, often where consumers have multiple self-storage properties from which to choose. Competition has impacted, and will continue to impact, our property results. We experience seasonal fluctuations in occupancy levels, with occupancy levels generally higher in the summer months due to increased moving activity. Our operating results depend materially on our ability to lease available self-storage units and actively manage rental rates, and on the ability of our tenants to make required rental payments. We believe that we are able to respond quickly and effectively to changes in local, regional and national economic conditions by centrally adjusting rental rates through the combination of our revenue management team and our industry-leading technology systems.

We continue to evaluate a range of new initiatives and opportunities in order to enable us to maximize stockholder value. Our strategies to maximize stockholder value include the following:

· Maximize the performance of properties through strategic, efficient and proactive management. We pursue revenue-generating and expense-minimizing opportunities in our operations. Our revenue management team seeks to maximize revenue by responding to changing market conditions through our advanced technology system’s ability to provide real-time, interactive rental rate and discount management. Our size allows us greater ability than the majority of our competitors to implement more effective online marketing programs, which we believe will attract more customers to our stores at a lower net cost.

Table of Contents

· Acquire self-storage properties. Our acquisitions team continues to pursue the acquisition of multi-property portfolios and single properties that we believe can provide stockholder value. We have established a reputation as a reliable, ethical buyer, which we believe enhances our ability to negotiate and close acquisitions. In addition, we believe our status as an UPREIT enables flexibility when structuring deals. We continue to see available acquisitions on which to bid and are seeing increasing prices. However, we remain a disciplined buyer and look for acquisitions that will strengthen our portfolio and increase stockholder value.

· Expand our management business. Our management business enables us to generate increased revenues through management fees and to expand our geographic footprint. We believe this expanded footprint enables us to reduce our operating costs through economies of scale. In addition, we see our management business as a future acquisition pipeline. We pursue strategic relationships with owners whose properties would enhance our portfolio in the event an opportunity arises to acquire such properties.

PROPERTIES

As of June 30, 2014, we owned, had ownership interests in, or managed 1,071 properties in 35 states, Washington, D.C. and Puerto Rico. Of these 1,071 properties, we owned 535 properties, we held joint venture interests in 272 properties, and our taxable REIT subsidiary, Extra Space Management, Inc., operated an additional 264 properties that are owned by third parties. These operating properties contain approximately 79.0 million square feet of rentable space in approximately 715,000 units.

Our properties are generally situated in convenient, highly visible locations clustered around large population centers such as Atlanta, Baltimore/Washington, D.C., Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Houston, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Miami, New York City, Orlando, Philadelphia, Phoenix, St. Petersburg/Tampa and San Francisco/Oakland. These areas all enjoy above-average population growth and income levels. The clustering of assets around these population centers enables us to reduce our operating costs through economies of scale. Our acquisitions and management business have given us an increased scale in many core markets as well as a foothold in many markets where we had no previous presence.

We consider a property to be in the lease-up stage after it has been issued a certificate of occupancy, but before it has achieved stabilization. We consider a property to be stabilized once it has achieved either an 80% average occupancy rate for a full year measured as of January 1, or has been open for three years.

As of June 30, 2014, approximately 625,000 tenants were leasing storage units at the 1,071 operating properties that we own and/or manage, primarily on a month-to-month basis, providing the flexibility to increase rental rates over time as market conditions permit. Existing tenants generally receive rate increases at least annually, for which no direct correlation has been drawn to our vacancy trends. Although leases are short-term in duration, the typical tenant tends to remain at our properties for an extended period of time. For properties that were stabilized as of June 30, 2014, the average length of stay was approximately 12.8 months for tenants that vacated during the preceding 12 month period.

The average annual rent per square foot for our existing customers at stabilized properties, net of discounts and bad debt, was $14.26 for the three months ended June 30, 2014, compared to $13.67 for the same period ended June 30, 2013. Average annual rent per square foot for new leases was $15.02 for the three months ended June 30, 2014, compared to $14.39 for the same period ended June 30, 2013. The average discounts, as a percentage of rental revenues, during these periods were 3.9% and 4.9%, respectively.

Our property portfolio is made up of different types of construction and building configurations depending on the site and the municipality where it is located. Most often sites are what we consider “hybrid” facilities, a mix of both drive-up buildings and multi-floor buildings. We have a number of multi-floor buildings with elevator access only, and a number of facilities featuring ground-floor access only.

The following table presents additional information regarding the occupancy of our stabilized properties by state as of June 30, 2014 and 2013. The information as of June 30, 2013 is on a pro forma basis as though all the properties owned and/or managed at June 30, 2014 were under our control as of June 30, 2013.

Tenant Reinsurance — Tenant reinsurance expense represents the costs that are incurred to provide tenant reinsurance.

Gain (Loss) on Sale of Real Estate and Earnout from Prior Acquisition — During 2012, we acquired a portfolio of 10 self-storage properties. As part of this acquisition, we agreed to make an additional cash payment to the sellers if the acquired properties exceeded a specified amount of net rental income two years after the acquisition date. At the acquisition date, we believed that it was unlikely that any significant payment would be made as a result of this earnout provision. The rental income of the properties has been significantly higher than expected, resulting in a payment due to the sellers of $7,785, which has been recorded as a loss.

The gain on sale of real estate assets recorded for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 was due to the condemnation of a portion of land at one self-storage property we own in California that resulted from eminent domain.

Interest Expense — The increase in interest expense during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 was the result of an increase in debt over the same period in the prior year. The total face value of our debt, including our lines of credit, was $2,173,639 at June 30, 2014 compared to $1,779,572 at June 30, 2013.

Non-cash Interest Expense Related to Amortization of Discount on Equity Component of Exchangeable Senior Notes — In June 2013, our Operating Partnership issued $250,000 of its 2.375% Exchangeable Senior Notes due 2033. This non-cash interest expense represents the amortization of the discount related to the equity component of the exchangeable senior notes issued by Extra Space Storage LP (our “Operating Partnership”), which reflects the effective interest rate relative to the carrying amount of the liability.

Interest Income — Interest income represents amounts earned on cash and cash equivalents deposited with financial institutions and interest earned on notes receivable. The increase relates primarily to an increase in notes receivable when compared to the prior year.

Interest Income on Note Receivable from Preferred Operating Partnership Unit Holders — Represents interest on a $100,000 loan to the holders of the Series A Participating Redeemable Preferred Units of our Operating Partnership (“Series A Units”).

Equity in Earnings of Unconsolidated Real Estate Ventures — Equity in earnings of unconsolidated real estate ventures represents the income earned through our ownership interests in unconsolidated joint ventures. The decrease is primarily the result of our acquisition of properties from our joint venture partners. There were 253 operating properties owned by unconsolidated joint ventures as of June 30, 2014, compared with 278 properties as of June 30, 2013.

Equity in Earnings of Unconsolidated Real Estate Ventures — Gain on Purchase of Joint Venture Partners’ Interests — In April 2014, as part of the Grupe acquisition, we purchased our joint venture partner’s 60% interest in an existing joint venture that held one self-storage property. As a result of this acquisition, we recognized a non-cash gain of $3,438, which represents the increase in fair value of our prior interest in the joint venture from our original purchase until the acquisition date.

In February 2013, we acquired our partner’s equity interests in two joint ventures that each held one self-storage property. As a result of the acquisitions, we recognized non-cash gains of $2,556, which represents the increase in fair values of our prior interests in the joint ventures from their formations to the acquisition dates.

Income Tax Expense — For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, the increase in income tax expense primarily related to increased tenant reinsurance income earned by our taxable REIT subsidiary when compared to the same period of the prior year.

Net Income Allocated to Noncontrolling Interests

The following table presents information on net income allocated to noncontrolling interests for the periods indicated:

	For the Three Months Ended June 30,											For the Six Months Ended June 30,
	2014			2013			$ Change			% Change		2014			2013			$ Change			% Change

Net Income Allocated to Preferred Operating Partnership Noncontrolling Interests — In April and May 2014, as part of a portfolio acquisition, our Operating Partnership issued 296,020 Series C Units. In December 2013, as part of the same portfolio acquisition, our Operating Partnership issued an additional 407,996 Series C Units. The Series C Units have a liquidation value of $42.10 per unit. From issuance until the fifth anniversary of issuance, the Series C Units receive distributions at an annual rate of $0.18 plus the then-payable quarterly distribution per OP Unit.

In April 2014, as part of a single property acquisition, our Operating Partnership issued 333,360 Series B Units. In August and September 2013, as part of a portfolio acquisition, our Operating Partnership issued an additional 1,342,727 Series B Units. The Series B Units have a liquidation value of $25.00 per unit and receive distributions at an annual rate of 6%.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, income allocated to the Preferred Operating Partnership noncontrolling interest equals the distributions paid to the Series B and Series C Unit holders and the fixed distribution paid to the Series A Unit holder, plus approximately 0.8% of the remaining net income after adjustment for these distributions.

Net Income Allocated to Operating Partnership and Other Noncontrolling Interests — Income allocated to the Operating Partnership as of June 30, 2014 and 2013 represents approximately 3.5% and 2.4%, respectively, of net income after adjusting for the distributions paid and net income allocated to the Preferred Operating Partnership unit holders. Income allocated to other noncontrolling interests represents the income allocated to partners in consolidated joint ventures.

FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS

Funds from Operations (“FFO”) provides relevant and meaningful information about our operating performance that is necessary, along with net income and cash flows, for an understanding of our operating results. We believe FFO is a meaningful disclosure as a supplement to net earnings. Net earnings assume that the values of real estate assets diminish predictably over time as reflected through depreciation and amortization expenses. The values of real estate assets fluctuate due to market conditions and we believe FFO more accurately reflects the value of our real estate assets. FFO is defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, Inc. (“NAREIT”) as net income computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains or losses on sales of operating properties and impairment write downs of depreciable real estate assets, 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 considered along with the reported net income and cash flows in accordance with GAAP, as presented in our condensed consolidated financial statements.

The 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 as an indication of our performance, as an alternative to net cash flow from operating activities, as a measure of liquidity, or an indicator of our ability to make cash distributions.

The following table presents the calculation of FFO for the periods indicated:

SAME-STORE STABILIZED PROPERTY RESULTS

We consider our same-store stabilized portfolio to consist of only those properties that were wholly-owned at the beginning and at the end of the applicable periods presented that have achieved stabilization as of the first day of such period. The following table presents operating data for our same-store portfolio. We consider the following same-store presentation to be meaningful in regards to the properties shown below because these results provide information relating to property-level operating changes without the effects of acquisitions or completed developments.

	For the Three Months Ended June 30,						Percent		For the Six Months Ended June 30,						Percent
	2014			2013			Change		2014			2013			Change
Same-store rental and tenant reinsurance revenues	$	119,212		$	110,478		7.9	%	$	234,217		$	217,082		7.9	%
Same-store operating and tenant reinsurance expenses	34,553			33,443			3.3	%	70,595			67,859			4.0	%
Same-store net operating income	$	84,659		$	77,035		9.9	%	$	163,622		$	149,223		9.6	%

Properties included in same-store	443			443					443			443

The increases in same-store rental revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, were due primarily to an increase in occupancy of 1.6%, lower discounts to new customers and higher rental rates for both new and existing customers. Rental rates to new tenants for the three months ended June 30, 2014 increased an average of 4.5% compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase in same-store operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2014 was primarily due to higher payroll, office and property tax expenses. These expenses were partially offset by a decrease in property insurance expense. The increase in same-store operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2014 when compared to the prior year was due primarily to increased property taxes and higher snow removal and utility expenses due to the severe weather experienced in the Midwest and Eastern United States during the three months ended March 31, 2014.

CASH FLOWS

Cash flows provided by operating activities were $167,759 and $126,551, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013. The increase compared to the same period of the prior year primarily related to increases in net income of $16,185, increases in depreciation and amortization of $10,836 and the loss related to the earnout from a prior acquisition of $7,785 incurred in 2014.

Table of Contents

Cash used in investing activities was $313,442 and $67,006, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013. The increase is primarily a result of the increased acquisition activity. Acquisition of real estate assets increased by $237,216 when compared to the prior year as we acquired 29 properties during the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to six properties acquired during the same period of the prior year.

Cash provided by financing activities was $72,905 and $116,662, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013. The decrease related primarily to a decrease in proceeds from the issuance of exchangeable senior notes of $246,250 and an increase in dividends paid on common stock of $28,656. This decrease was offset by an increase in the amount of proceeds from notes payable and lines of credit of $153,997 and a decrease in the principal payments on notes payable and lines of credit of $81,508.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As of June 30, 2014, we had $53,945 available in cash and cash equivalents. We intend to use this cash to pay for future acquisitions, to repay debt and for general corporate purposes. We are required to distribute at least 90% of our net taxable income, excluding net capital gains, to our stockholders on an annual basis to maintain our qualification as a REIT.

Our cash and cash equivalents are held in accounts managed by third-party financial institutions and consist of invested cash and cash in our operating accounts. During 2013 and the first six months of 2014, we experienced no loss or lack of access to our cash or cash equivalents; however, there can be no assurance that access to our cash and cash equivalents will not be impacted by adverse conditions in the financial markets.

The following table presents information on our lines of credit for the periods indicated. All of our lines of credit are guaranteed by us and secured by mortgages on certain real estate assets.

	As of June 30, 2014
Line of Credit	Amount Drawn		Capacity		Interest Rate		Origination Date	Maturity	Basis Rate	Notes
Credit Line 1	$	—	$	85,000	2.05	%	6/4/2010	6/3/2016	LIBOR plus 1.90%	(1)

	$	10,000	$	215,000

(1) One two-year extension available

(2) Two one-year extensions available

As of June 30, 2014, we had $2,173,639 face value of debt, resulting in a debt to total enterprise value ratio of 24.8%. As of June 30, 2014, the ratio of total fixed-rate debt and other instruments to total debt was 73.7% (including $814,057 on which we have interest rate swaps that have been included as fixed-rate debt). The weighted average interest rate of the total of fixed- and variable-rate debt at June 30, 2014 was 3.6%. Certain of our real estate assets are pledged as collateral for our debt. We are subject to certain restrictive covenants relating to our outstanding debt. We were in compliance with all financial covenants at June 30, 2014.

We expect to fund our short-term liquidity requirements, including operating expenses, recurring capital expenditures, dividends to stockholders, distributions to holders of Operating Partnership units and interest on our outstanding indebtedness, out of our operating cash flow, cash on hand and borrowings under our lines of credit. In addition, we are pursuing additional term loans secured by unencumbered properties.

Our liquidity needs consist primarily of cash distributions to stockholders, property acquisitions, principal payments under our borrowings and non-recurring capital expenditures. We may from time to time seek to repurchase our outstanding debt, shares of common stock or other securities in open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Such repurchases, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors. In addition, we evaluate, on an ongoing basis, the merits of strategic acquisitions and other relationships, which may require us to raise additional funds. We do not expect that our operating cash flow or cash balances will be sufficient to fund our liquidity needs and instead expect to fund such needs out of additional borrowings of secured or unsecured indebtedness, joint ventures with third parties, and from the proceeds of public and private offerings of equity and debt. Additional capital may not be available on terms favorable to us or at all. Any additional issuance of equity or equity-linked securities may result in dilution to our stockholders. In addition, any new securities we issue could have rights, preferences and privileges senior to holders of our common stock. We may also use Operating Partnership units as currency to fund acquisitions from self-storage owners who desire tax-deferral in their exiting transactions.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

Except as disclosed in the notes to our consolidated financial statements of our most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K, we do not currently have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purposes entities, which typically are established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. Further, except as disclosed in the notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements, we have not guaranteed any obligations of unconsolidated entities, nor do we have any commitments or intent to provide funding to any such entities. Accordingly, we are not materially exposed to any financing, liquidity, market or credit risk that could arise if we had engaged in these relationships.

CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS

The following table presents information on future payments due by period as of June 30, 2014:

	Payments due by Period:
			Less Than						After
	Total		1 Year		1-3 Years		3-5 Years		5 Years
Operating leases	$	68,911	$	7,838	$	9,564	$	5,774	$	45,735
Notes payable, notes payable to trusts and lines of credit
Interest	378,796		76,829		116,245		67,875		117,847
Principal	2,173,639		58,973		587,746		971,951		554,969
Total contractual obligations	$	2,621,346	$	143,640	$	713,555	$	1,045,600	$	718,551

The operating leases above include minimum future lease payments on leases for 18 of our operating properties as well as leases of our corporate offices. Two ground leases include additional contingent rental payments based on the level of revenue achieved at the property.

As of June 30, 2014, the weighted average interest rate for all fixed-rate loans was 4.2%, and the weighted-average interest rate for all variable-rate loans was 2.0%.

FINANCING STRATEGY

We will continue to employ leverage in our capital structure in amounts reviewed from time to time by our board of directors. Although our board of directors has not adopted a policy that limits the total amount of indebtedness that we may incur, we will consider a number of factors in evaluating our level of indebtedness from time to time, as well as the amount of such indebtedness that will be either fixed- or variable-rate. In making financing decisions, we will consider factors including but not limited to:

· the interest rate of the proposed financing;

· the extent to which the financing impacts flexibility in managing our properties;

· prepayment penalties and restrictions on refinancing;

· the purchase price of properties acquired with debt financing;

· long-term objectives with respect to the financing;

· target investment returns;

· the ability of particular properties, and our company as a whole, to generate cash flow sufficient to cover expected debt service payments;

· overall level of consolidated indebtedness;

· timing of debt and lease maturities;

· provisions that require recourse and cross-collateralization;

· corporate credit ratios including debt service coverage, debt to total capitalization and debt to undepreciated assets; and

· the overall ratio of fixed- and variable-rate debt.

Table of Contents

Our indebtedness may be recourse, non-recourse or cross-collateralized. If the indebtedness is non-recourse, the collateral will be limited to the particular properties to which the indebtedness relates. In addition, we may invest in properties subject to existing loans collateralized by mortgages or similar liens on our properties, or we may refinance properties acquired on a leveraged basis. We may use the proceeds from any borrowings to refinance existing indebtedness, to refinance investments, including the redevelopment of existing properties, for general working capital or to purchase additional interests in partnerships or joint ventures or for other purposes when we believe it is advisable.

SEASONALITY

The self-storage business is subject to seasonal fluctuations. A greater portion of revenues and profits are realized from May through September. Historically, our highest level of occupancy has been at the end of July, while our lowest level of occupancy has been in late February and early March. Results for any quarter may not be indicative of the results that may be achieved for the full fiscal year.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Amounts in thousands, except property and share data, unless otherwise stated

Market Risk

Market risk refers to the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and interest rates. Our future income, cash flows and fair values of financial instruments are dependent upon prevailing market interest rates.

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk is highly sensitive to many factors, including governmental monetary and tax policies, domestic and international economic and political considerations and other factors beyond our control.

As of June 30, 2014, we had $2,173,639 in total face value of debt, of which $572,502 was subject to variable interest rates (excluding debt with interest rate swaps). If LIBOR were to increase or decrease by 100 basis points, the increase or decrease in interest expense on the variable-rate debt (excluding variable-rate debt with interest rate floors) would increase or decrease future earnings and cash flows by $5,259 annually.

Interest rate risk amounts were determined by considering the impact of hypothetical interest rates on our financial instruments. These analyses do not consider the effect of any change in overall economic activity that could occur. Further, in the event of a change of that magnitude, we may take actions to further mitigate our exposure to the change. However, due to the uncertainty of the specific actions that would be taken and their possible effects, these analyses assume no changes in our financial structure.

The fair values of our fixed-rate assets and liabilities were as follows for the periods indicated:

	June 30, 2014				December 31, 2013
	Fair		Carrying		Fair		Carrying
	Value		Value		Value		Value
Note receivable from Preferred Operating Partnership unit holders	$	102,045	$	100,000	$	103,491	$	100,000
Fixed rate notes payable and notes payable to trusts	$	1,379,655	$	1,351,136	$	1,365,290	$	1,368,885
Exchangeable senior notes	$	269,525	$	250,000	$	251,103	$	250,000

The fair value of our note receivable from Preferred Operating Partnership unit holders was based on the discounted estimated future cash flows of the note (categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy); the discount rate used approximated the current market rate for loans with similar maturities and credit quality. The fair values of our fixed-rate notes payable and notes payable to trusts were estimated using the discounted estimated future cash payments to be made on such debt (categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy); the discount rates used approximated current market rates for loans, or groups of loans, with similar maturities and credit quality. The fair value of our exchangeable senior notes was estimated using an average market price for similar securities obtained from a third party.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(1) Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, are recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure based on the definition of “disclosure controls and procedures” in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can only provide a reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and in reaching a reasonable level of assurance, management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

We have a disclosure committee that is responsible to ensure that all disclosures we make to our security holders or to the investment community will be accurate and complete and fairly present our financial condition and results of operations in all material respects, and are made on a timely basis as required by applicable laws, regulations and stock exchange requirements.

We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level as of the end of the period covered by this report.

(2) Changes in internal control over financial reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f)) that occurred during our most recent quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We are involved in various litigation and proceedings in the ordinary course of business. We are not a party to any material litigation or legal proceedings, or to the best of our knowledge, any threatened litigation or legal proceedings, which, in the opinion of management, are expected to have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations either individually or in the aggregate.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

There have been no material changes in our risk factors from those disclosed in our 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

On April 3, 2014, our Operating Partnership issued 333,360 Series B Units in connection with the acquisition of a single property in Georgia. The property was acquired in exchange for the Series B Units, valued at $8.3 million, and approximately $15.2 million of cash. The Series B Units have a liquidation value of $25.00 per unit. The Series B Units will be redeemable at the option of the holder after the first anniversary of the date of issuance, which redemption obligation may be satisfied, at our option, in cash or shares of our common stock.

On April 25, 2014 and May 28, 2014, we acquired three properties located in California and our joint venture partner’s 60% equity interest in Savi-Ranch SPC, LLC, affiliated with Grupe Properties Co. Inc. (“Grupe”), which owned one self storage property located in California. We previously held 40% interest in this joint venture. These properties were acquired in exchange for approximately $3.0 million of cash, the assumption of approximately $33.2 million in existing debt and the issuance of 296,020 Series C Redeemable Operating Partnership units valued at $13.8 million. The Series C Units have a liquidation value of $42.10 per unit. The Series C Units will be convertible at the option of the holder after the first anniversary of the date of issuance and until the fifth anniversary of the date of issuance, into approximately 0.9145 common units of the Operating Partnership per Series C Unit. The Series C Units will be redeemable at the option of the holder after the first anniversary of the date of issuance, which redemption obligation may be satisfied, at our option, in cash or shares of our common stock.

The Series B Units and Series C Units were issued in private placements in reliance on Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.
