EXPLANATORY NOTE

This report combines the annual reports on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 of Life Storage, Inc. (the “Parent Company”) and Life Storage LP (the “Operating Partnership”). The Parent Company is a real estate investment trust, or REIT, that owns its assets and conducts its operations through the Operating Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership, and subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership. The Parent Company, the Operating Partnership and their consolidated subsidiaries are collectively referred to in this report as the “Company.” In addition, terms such as “we,” “us,” or “our” used in this report may refer to the Company, the Parent Company and/or the Operating Partnership.

Life Storage Holdings, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Parent Company (“Holdings”), is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership; the Parent Company is a limited partner of the Operating Partnership, and through its ownership of Holdings and its limited partnership interest, controls the operations of the Operating Partnership, holding a 99.5% ownership interest therein as of December 31, 2018. The remaining ownership interests in the Operating Partnership are held by certain former owners of assets acquired by the Operating Partnership. As the owner of the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, the Parent Company has full and complete authority over the Operating Partnership’s day-to-day operations and management.

Management operates the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership as one enterprise. The management teams of the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership are identical.

There are few differences between the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership, which are reflected in the note disclosures in this report. The Company believes it is important to understand the differences between the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership in the context of how these entities operate as a consolidated enterprise. The Parent Company is a REIT, whose only material asset is its ownership of the partnership interests of the Operating Partnership. As a result, the Parent Company does not conduct business itself, other than acting as the owner of the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, issuing public equity from time to time and guaranteeing the debt obligations of the Operating Partnership. The Operating Partnership holds substantially all the assets of the Company and, directly or indirectly, holds the ownership interests in the Company’s real estate ventures. The Operating Partnership conducts the operations of the Company’s business and is structured as a partnership with no publicly traded equity. Except for net proceeds from equity issuances by the Parent Company, which are contributed to the Operating Partnership in exchange for partnership units, the Operating Partnership generates the capital required by the Company’s business through the Operating Partnership’s operations, by the Operating Partnership’s direct or indirect incurrence of indebtedness or through the issuance of partnership units of the Operating Partnership.

The substantive difference between the Parent Company’s filings and the Operating Partnership’s filings is the fact that the Parent Company is a REIT with public equity, while the Operating Partnership is a partnership with no publicly traded equity. In the financial statements, this difference is primarily reflected in the equity (or capital for the Operating Partnership) section of the consolidated balance sheets and in the consolidated statements of shareholders’ equity (or partners’ capital). Apart from the different equity treatment, the consolidated financial statements of the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership are nearly identical.

The Company believes that combining the annual reports on Form 10-K of the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership into a single report will:

 

facilitate a better understanding by the investors of the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership by enabling them to view the business as a whole in the same manner as management views and operates the business;

 

remove duplicative disclosures and provide a more straightforward presentation in light of the fact that a substantial portion of the disclosure applies to both the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership; and

 

create time and cost efficiencies through the preparation of one combined report instead of two separate reports.

In order to highlight the differences between the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership, the separate sections in this report for the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership specifically refer to the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership. In the sections that combine disclosures of the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership, this report refers to such disclosures as those of the Company. Although the Operating Partnership is generally the entity that directly or indirectly enters into contracts and real estate ventures and holds assets and debt, reference to the Company is appropriate because the business is one enterprise and the Parent Company operates the business through the Operating Partnership.

As the owner of the general partner with control of the Operating Partnership, the Parent Company consolidates the Operating Partnership for financial reporting purposes, and the Parent Company does not have significant assets other than its investment in the Operating Partnership. Therefore, the assets and liabilities of the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership are the same on their respective financial statements. The separate discussions of the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership in this report should be read in conjunction with each other to understand the results of the Company’s operations on a consolidated basis and how management operates the Company.

This report also includes separate Item 9A - Controls and Procedures sections, signature pages and Exhibit 31 and 32 certifications for each of the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership in order to establish that the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer of the Parent Company and the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer of the Operating Partnership have made the requisite certifications and that the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership are compliant with Rule 13a-15 or Rule 15d-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended and 18 U.S.C. §1350.

Part I

When used in this discussion and elsewhere in this document, the words “intends,” “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” and similar expressions are intended to identify “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of that term in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and in Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to be materially different from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such factors include, but are not limited to, the effect of competition from new self-storage facilities, which would cause rents and occupancy rates to decline; the Company’s ability to evaluate, finance and integrate acquired businesses into the Company’s existing business and operations; the Company’s ability to effectively compete in the industry in which it does business; the Company’s existing indebtedness may mature in an unfavorable credit environment, preventing refinancing or forcing refinancing of the indebtedness on terms that are not as favorable as the existing terms; interest rates may fluctuate, impacting costs associated with the Company’s outstanding floating rate debt; the Company’s ability to comply with debt covenants; any future ratings on the Company’s debt instruments; regional concentration of the Company’s business may subject it to economic downturns in the states of Florida and Texas; the Company’s reliance on its call center; the Company’s cash flow may be insufficient to meet required payments of operating expenses, principal, interest and dividends; and tax law changes that may change the taxability of future income.

Item 1.

Business

The Company is a self-administered and self-managed real estate company that acquires, owns and manages self-storage properties. We refer to the self-storage properties in which we have an ownership interest, lease, and/or are managed by us as “Properties.” We began operations on June 26, 1995. We were formed to continue the business of our predecessor company, which had engaged in the self-storage business since 1985. At December 31, 2018, we had an ownership interest in and/or managed 774 self-storage properties in 28 states under the name Life Storage ®. Among our 774 self-storage properties are 113 properties that we manage for unconsolidated joint ventures, 100 properties that we manage and have no ownership interest, and four properties that we lease. We believe we are the fifth largest operator of self-storage properties in the United States based on square feet owned and managed. Our Properties conduct business under the customer-friendly name Life Storage ®. In 2019, we began managing four properties located in the province of Ontario, Canada, under the Bluebird Self Storage brand for an unrelated entity.

At December 31, 2018, the Parent Company owned a direct or indirect interest in 674 of the Properties through the Operating Partnership, which includes 561 wholly-owned properties and 113 properties owned by unconsolidated joint ventures. In total, we own a 99.5% economic interest in the Operating Partnership and unaffiliated third parties collectively own a 0.5% limited partnership interest at December 31, 2018. We believe that this structure, commonly known as an umbrella partnership real estate investment trust (“UPREIT”), facilitates our ability to acquire properties by using units of the Operating Partnership as currency. By utilizing interests in the Operating Partnership as currency in facility acquisitions, we may partially defer the seller’s income tax liability which in turn may allow us to obtain more favorable pricing.

The Parent Company was incorporated on April 19, 1995 under Maryland law. The Operating Partnership was formed on June 1, 1995 as a Delaware limited partnership and has engaged in virtually all aspects of the self-storage business, including the development, acquisition, management, ownership and operation of self-storage facilities. Our principal executive offices are located at 6467 Main Street, Williamsville, New York 14221, our telephone number is (716) 633-1850 and our website is www.lifestorage.com.

We seek to enhance shareholder value through internal growth, acquisition of additional storage properties, expansion and enhancement of existing storage properties, select new development, and advances in innovative technology. Internal growth is achieved through aggressive property management: optimizing rental rates, increasing occupancy levels, controlling costs, maximizing collections, and strategically expanding and enhancing the Properties. Should demographic and economic conditions warrant, we may develop new properties. We believe that there continues to be opportunity for growth through acquisitions, including acquisitions through unconsolidated joint ventures of the Company. We seek to acquire self-storage properties that are susceptible to realization of increased economies of scale and improved performance through application of our expertise.

Industry Overview

We believe that self-storage facilities offer affordable storage space to residential and commercial users. In addition to fully enclosed and secure storage space, many facilities also offer outside storage for automobiles, recreational vehicles and boats. Modern facilities, such as those owned and/or managed by the Company, are usually fenced and well lighted with automated access systems, surveillance cameras, offer temperature and humidity control features, and have a full-time manager. Our customers rent space on a month-to-month basis and typically have access to their storage space up to 15 hours a day and in certain circumstances are provided with 24-hour access. Individual storage spaces are secured by the customer’s lock, and the customer has control of access to the space.

According to the 2019 Self-Storage Almanac, of the estimated 46,000 core self-storage facilities in the United States (those properties identified as having self-storage operated as the core business at the address), approximately 18.8% are managed by the ten largest operators. This results in a highly fragmented industry as the remainder of the industry is characterized by numerous small, local operators. The scarcity of capital available to small operators for acquisitions and expansions, internet marketing, call centers, and the potential for savings through economies of scale are factors that are leading to consolidation in the industry. We believe that, as a result of this trend, significant growth opportunities exist for operators with proven management systems and sufficient capital resources to grow either through acquisitions or third-party management platforms.

Property Management

We have over 30 years of experience acquiring, building, expanding and managing self-storage facilities, and the combined experience of our key personnel makes us one of the leaders in the industry. We employ the following strategies with respect to our property management:

Our People:

We recognize the importance of quality people to the success of an organization. Accordingly, we hire and train to ensure that associates can reach their full potential. We strive to ensure that all associates conduct themselves in accordance with our core values: Teamwork, Respect, Accountability, Integrity, and Innovation. In turn, we support them with state of the art training tools including an online learning management system, a company intranet and a network of certified training personnel. Every store team also has frequent, and sometimes daily, interaction with an Area Manager, a Regional Vice President, an Accounting Representative, and other support personnel. As such, our store associates are held to high standards for customer service, store appearance, financial performance, and overall operations.

Training & Development:

Our employees benefit from a wide array of training and development opportunities. New store employees undergo a comprehensive, proprietary training program designed to drive sales and operational results while ensuring the delivery of quality customer service. To supplement their initial training, employees enjoy continuing edification, coaching, and performance feedback, including customer satisfaction surveying, throughout their tenure.

All learning and development activities are facilitated through our online training and development portal. This portal delivers and tracks hundreds of computer-based training and compliance courses; it also administers tests, surveys, and the employee appraisal process. The Company’s training and development program encompasses the tools and support we deem essential to the success of our employees and business.

Marketing and Advertising:

The digital age has changed consumer behavior – the way people shop, their expectations, and the way we communicate with them. As such, we utilize the following strategies to market our properties and products:

 

We created, developed and implemented Rent Now, our proprietary fully-digital rental platform for customers who prefer to self-serve and complete the rental process online. Customers can now “skip the counter” by selecting a storage unit, completing the rental agreement and making their rental payment online. The customer receives their property access code and step-by-step directions to their specific rental unit on a digital map sent to their mobile device. Rent Now is fully-integrated with Life Storage’s operating, security and revenue management systems, allowing for real-time and efficient inventory and sales management.

 

We employ a Customer Care Center (call center) that services an average of 40,000 rental inquiries per month. Our Sales Representatives answer incoming sales calls for all of our locations, 364 days a year, 24 hours a day. In addition, they respond to email inquiries and serve as overnight customer service agents to assist customers outside of regular office hours. The team undergoes continuous training and coaching in effective storage sales techniques and best practices in customer service, which we believe results in higher conversions of inquiries to rentals.

 

We maintain a website and involve internal and external expertise to manage our internet presence and leverage a search engine and social media marketing strategy to attract customers and gain rentals online, through our call center and at our stores. Precise targeting and tracking through campaign management and analysis allows us to attract the right customers, at the right time, for reasonable costs of acquisition.

 

Since demand for storage is largely based on timing, the goal is to create positive brand recognition through a variety of channels, both digital and traditional. When the time comes for a customer to select a storage company, we want the Life Storage brand to be recognized as the most trusted and respected provider. We employ a variety of different strategies to create brand awareness; this includes our Life Storage rental trucks, branded merchandise such as moving and packing supplies, extensive regional marketing in the communities in which we operate, and digital targeting using search, social media and remarketing campaigns. We strive to introduce storage solutions early and often to gain the most exposure as possible for the longest duration.

 

Approximately 48.1% of our self-storage space is comprised of units with temperature and/or humidity control capabilities which we market to corporate, retail and residential customers seeking storage solutions for valuable, sentimental, or otherwise sensitive items.

 

We also have a fleet of rental trucks that serve as an added incentive to choose our storage facilities. We waive the truck rental charge for new move-in customers, and we believe it provides a valuable service and added incentive to choose Life Storage. Further, the prominent display of our logo turns each truck into a moving billboard.

5


Third-Party Management:

We seek to add third-party managed stores to our portfolio in order to help drive fee revenue, brand awareness, cost efficiencies and customer data to make more informed revenue management decisions. The portfolio also may, in certain circumstances, serve to supplement our acquisition pipeline.

Corporate Customer Value Proposition:

We offer a differentiated corporate customer value proposition through Warehouse Anywhere. Warehouse Anywhere is Life Storage’s proprietary intelligent and technologically advanced warehousing solution that provides third-party logistics (3PL) through a forward deployed, unmanned model combining storage asset management with a proprietary inventory management application across a network of more than 10,000 Life Storage or partner facilities. As a final mile delivery solution, Warehouse Anywhere gets our customers’ products closer to their customers, reduces logistics costs, increases inventory tracking accuracy and improves delivery time.

Ancillary Income:

We know that our 423,000 customers require more than just a storage space. Knowing this, we offer a wide range of other products and services that fulfill their needs while providing us with ancillary income. Whereas our Life Storage trucks are available with no rental charge for new move-in customers, they are available for rent to non-customers and existing customers. We also rent moving dollies and blankets, in addition to carrying a wide assortment of moving and packing supplies including boxes, tape, locks, and other essential items. For those customers who do not carry storage insurance, we make available renters insurance through a third-party carrier, on which we earn income. We also receive incidental income from billboards and cell towers.

Information Systems:

Each of our primary business functions is linked to our customized computer applications, many of which are proprietary. These systems provide for consistent, timely and accurate flow of information throughout our critical platforms:

 

Our proprietary operating software (“LifeOS”) is installed at all locations and performs the functions necessary for field personnel to efficiently and effectively run a property. This includes customer account management, automatic imposition of late fees, move-in and move-out analysis, generation of essential legal notices, and marketing reports to aid in regional marketing efforts. Financial reports are automatically transmitted to our Corporate Offices overnight to allow for strict accounting oversight.

 

LifeOS is linked with each of our primary sales channels (customer care center, internet, store) allowing for real-time access to space type and inventory, pricing, promotions, and other pertinent store information. This robust flow of information facilitates our commitment to capturing prospective customers from all channels.

 

LifeOS provides our revenue management team with raw data on historical pricing, move-in and move-out activity, specials and occupancies, etc. This data is utilized in the various algorithms that form the foundation of our revenue management program. Changes to pricing and specials are “pushed out” to all sales channels instantaneously.

 

LifeOS generates financial reports for each property that provide our accounting and audit departments with the necessary oversight of transactions; this allows us to maintain proper control of receipts.

Revenue Management:

Our proprietary revenue management system is constantly evolving through the efforts of our dedicated data science and revenue management team. We have the ability to change pricing instantaneously for any single unit type, at any single location, based on the occupancy, competition, and forecasted changes in demand. By analyzing current customer rent tenures, we can implement rental rate increases at optimal times to increase revenues. Advanced pricing analytics enables us to reduce the amount of concessions, attracting a more stable customer base and discouraging short-term price shoppers. This system continues to drive revenue stability and/or growth throughout our portfolio.

Property Maintenance:

We take great pride in the appearance and structural integrity of our Properties. All of our Properties go through a thorough annual inspection performed by experienced project managers. These inspections provide the basis for short and long term planned projects that are all performed under a standardized set of specifications. Routine maintenance such as landscaping, pest control, and snowplowing is contracted to local providers to whom we clearly communicate our standards. Further, our software tracks repairs, monitors contractor performance and measures the useful life of assets. As with many other aspects of our Company, our size has allowed us to enjoy relatively low maintenance costs because we have the benefit of economies of scale in purchasing, travel, and overhead absorption. In addition, we continually look to green alternatives and implement energy saving alternatives as new technology becomes available. This includes the installation of solar panels, LED lighting, energy efficient air conditioning units, and cool roofs which are all environmentally friendly and have the potential to reduce energy consumption (thereby reducing costs) in the buildings in which they are installed. We continue to implement and expand the Company’s solar panel initiative which has reduced energy consumption and costs at those installed locations.

6


Environmental and Other Regulations

We are subject to federal, state, and local environmental regulations that apply generally to the ownership of real property. We have not received notice from any governmental authority or private party of any material environmental noncompliance, claim, or liability in connection with any of the Properties, and are not aware of any environmental condition with respect to any of the Properties that could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

The Properties are also generally subject to the same types of local regulations governing other real property, including zoning ordinances. We believe that the Properties are in substantial compliance with all such regulations.

Insurance

Each of the Properties is covered by fire and property insurance (including comprehensive liability and business interruption), and all-risk property insurance policies, which are provided by reputable companies and on commercially reasonable terms. In addition, we maintain a policy insuring against environmental liabilities resulting from tenant storage on terms customary for the industry, and title insurance insuring fee title to the Company-owned Properties in an amount that we believe to be adequate.

Federal Income Tax

We operate, and we intend to continue to operate, in such a manner as to continue to qualify as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), but no assurance can be given that we will at all times so qualify. To the extent that we continue to qualify as a REIT, we will not be taxed, with certain limited exceptions, on the taxable income that is distributed to our shareholders. We have elected to treat three of our subsidiaries as taxable REIT subsidiaries. In general, our taxable REIT subsidiaries may perform additional services for customers and generally may engage in certain real estate or non-real estate related business. Our taxable REIT subsidiaries are subject to corporate federal and state income taxes. See Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - REIT Qualification and Distribution Requirements.”

Competition

The primary factors upon which competition in the self-storage industry is based are location, appearance, rental rates, suitability of the property’s design to prospective customers’ needs, and how the property is operated and marketed. We believe we compete successfully on these factors. The extent of competition depends significantly on local market conditions. We seek to locate where we can increase market share while not adversely affecting any of our existing locations in that market. However, the number of self-storage facilities in a particular area could have a material adverse effect on the performance of any of the Properties.

Several of our competitors are larger and have substantially greater financial resources than we do. These larger operators may, among other possible advantages, be capable of greater leverage and the payment of higher prices for acquisitions.

Investment Policy

While we emphasize equity real estate investments, we may, at our discretion, invest in mortgage and other real estate interests related to self-storage properties in a manner consistent with our qualification as a REIT. We may also retain a purchase money mortgage for a portion of the sale price in connection with the disposition of Properties from time to time. Should investment opportunities become available, we may look to acquire additional self-storage properties via new or existing joint-venture partnerships or similar entities. We may or may not elect to have a significant investment in such a venture, but would use such an opportunity to expand our portfolio of branded and managed properties. We also invest in innovative, and sometimes proprietary, new technology that we believe provides us with a competitive advantage.

Subject to the percentage of ownership limitations and gross income tests necessary for REIT qualification, we also may invest in securities of entities engaged in real estate activities or securities of other issuers, including for the purpose of exercising control over such entities.

Disposition Policy

Any disposition decision of our Properties is based on a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, the (i) potential to continue to increase cash flow and value, (ii) sale price, (iii) strategic fit with the rest of our portfolio, (iv) potential for, or existence of, environmental or regulatory issues, (v) alternative uses of capital, and (vi) maintaining qualification as a REIT.

During 2018, the Company sold 13 non-strategic properties in Arizona (2), Florida (1), North Carolina (1), Texas (8), and Virginia (1) for net cash proceeds of $91.3 million, resulting in an aggregate gain of approximately $56.4 million. Twelve of these properties were sold to an unconsolidated joint venture in which the Company has a 20% ownership interest. During 2017, the Company sold two non-strategic storage facilities in Utah (1) and Texas (1) for net proceeds of $16.9 million, resulting in a loss of approximately $3.5 million. The Company has subsequently leased one of these properties and has deferred the related gain until the termination of the lease which is scheduled in 2019. During 2016, the Company sold eight non-strategic storage facilities in Alabama (1), Georgia (1), Mississippi (1), Texas (1), and Virginia (4) for net proceeds of approximately $34.1 million, resulting in an aggregate gain on sale of $15.3 million.

7


Distribution Policy

We intend to pay regular quarterly distributions to our shareholders. However, future distributions by us will be at the discretion of the Board of Directors and will depend on the actual cash available for distribution, our financial condition and capital requirements, the annual distribution requirements under the REIT provisions of the Code and such other factors as the Board of Directors deems relevant. In order to maintain our qualification as a REIT, we must make annual distributions to shareholders of at least 90% of our REIT taxable income (which does not include capital gains or losses). Under certain circumstances, we may be required to make distributions in excess of cash available for distribution in order to meet the minimum requirements.

Financing Policy

Our Board of Directors currently limits the amount of debt that may be incurred by us to less than 50% of the sum of the market value of our issued and outstanding Common and Preferred Stock plus our debt. We, however, may from time to time re-evaluate and modify our borrowing policy considering current economic conditions, relative costs of debt and equity capital, market values of properties, growth and acquisition opportunities and other factors. In addition to our Board of Directors’ debt limits, our most restrictive debt covenants limit our leverage. However, we believe cash flow from operations, access to the capital markets and access to our credit facility, as described below, are adequate to execute our current business plan and remain in compliance with our debt covenants.

The following sets forth certain financing activities during the year ended December 31, 2018.

On October 30, 2018, the Company entered into an amended and restated credit facility which replaced the Company’s then existing credit facility as discussed in Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements filed herewith. Under the amended credit facility, the Company’s revolving credit facility remains at $500 million and the maturity date of such facility is extended to March 10, 2023. The new revolving credit facility bears interest at a variable annual rate equal to LIBOR plus a margin based on the Company’s credit rating (at December 31, 2018, the margin is 0.95%) and requires an annual facility fee which varies based upon the Company’s credit rating (at December 31, 2018, the facility fee is 0.15%). Also, under the amended credit facility, the $100 million term note previously existing was replaced with a new $100 million term note, with the maturity date remaining June 4, 2020. The new $100 million term note bears interest at a variable annual rate equal to LIBOR plus a margin based on the Company’s credit rating (at December 31, 2018 the margin is 1.00%). The Company has the option under the new credit facility to increase the total aggregate borrowing capacity of the facilities to $900 million.

Amounts outstanding on the Company’s line of credit at December 31, 2018 totaled $91.0 million.

To the extent that we desire to obtain additional capital to pay distributions, to provide working capital, to pay existing indebtedness or to finance acquisitions, expansions or development of new properties, we may utilize amounts available under the line of credit, common or preferred stock offerings, floating or fixed rate debt financing, retention of cash flow (subject to satisfying our distribution requirements under the REIT rules) or a combination of these methods. Additional debt financing may also be obtained through mortgages on our Properties, which may be recourse, non-recourse, or cross-collateralized and may contain cross-default provisions. We have not established any limit on the number or amount of mortgages that may be placed on any single Property or on our portfolio as a whole, although certain of our existing term loans contain limits on overall mortgage indebtedness. For additional information regarding borrowings and equity activities, see Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources” and Notes 5 and 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements filed herewith.

Employees

We currently employ a total of 1,953 employees, including 667 property managers, 45 area managers, and 954 associate managers and part-time employees. At our headquarters, in addition to our four senior executive officers, we employ 283 people engaged in various support activities, including accounting, human resources, customer care, and management information systems. None of our employees are covered by a collective bargaining agreement. We consider our employee relations to be excellent.

Available Information

We file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission quarterly and annual reports on Forms 10-Q and 10-K, respectively, current reports on Form 8-K, and proxy statements pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, in addition to other information as required. We file this information with the SEC electronically, and the SEC maintains an Internet site that contains reports, proxy and information statements, and other information regarding issuers that file electronically with the SEC at http://www.sec.gov. Our annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K, and all amendments to those reports are available free of charge on our web site at http://www.lifestorage.com as soon as reasonably practicable after such material is electronically filed with or furnished to the SEC.

Item 1A.

Risk Factors

You should carefully consider the risks described below, together with all of the other information included in or incorporated by reference into our Form 10-K, as part of your evaluation of the Company. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business could be harmed. In such case, the trading price of our securities could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment.

Our Acquisitions May Not Perform as Anticipated

We have completed hundreds of acquisitions of self-storage facilities since our initial public offering of common stock in June 1995. One of our strategies is to continue to grow by acquiring additional self-storage facilities. Acquisitions entail risks that investments will fail to perform in accordance with our expectations. Our judgments with respect to the prices paid for acquired self-storage facilities and the costs of any improvements required to bring an acquired property up to our standards may prove to be inaccurate. Acquisitions also involve general investment risks associated with any new real estate investment.

We May Incur Problems with Our Real Estate Financing

Unsecured Credit Facility, Term Notes and Senior Notes. We have a line of credit and term note agreements with a syndicate of financial institutions and other lenders, along with senior debt of $1,050 million. This indebtedness is recourse to us and the required payments are not reduced if the economic performance of any of the properties declines. The facilities limit our ability to make distributions to our shareholders, except in limited circumstances.

Rising Interest Rates. Indebtedness that we incur under the unsecured credit facility and one of our term notes bears interest at a variable rate. Accordingly, increases in interest rates could increase our interest expense, which would reduce our cash available for distribution and our ability to pay expected distributions to our shareholders. We manage our exposure to rising interest rates by entering into fixed rate financing agreements for a portion of our outstanding indebtedness and through other available mechanisms, including interest rate swaps, as deemed necessary. If the amount of our indebtedness bearing interest at a variable rate increases, our unsecured credit facility may require us to enter into interest rate swaps.

Refinancing May Not Be Available. It may be necessary for us to refinance our indebtedness through additional debt financing or equity offerings. If we were unable to refinance this indebtedness on acceptable terms, we might be forced to dispose of some of our self-storage facilities upon disadvantageous terms, which might result in losses to us and might adversely affect the cash available for distribution. If prevailing interest rates or other factors at the time of refinancing result in higher interest rates on any refinancings, our interest expense would increase, which would adversely affect our cash available for distribution and our ability to pay expected distributions to shareholders.

Covenants and Risk of Default. Our loan instruments require us to operate within certain covenants, including financial covenants with respect to leverage, fixed charge coverage, minimum net worth, limitations on additional indebtedness and dividend limitations. If we violate any of these covenants or otherwise default under these instruments, then our lenders could declare all indebtedness under these facilities to be immediately due and payable which would have a material adverse effect on our business and could require us to sell self-storage facilities under distressed conditions and seek replacement financing on substantially more expensive terms.

Reduction in or Loss of Credit Rating. Certain of our debt instruments require us to maintain an investment grade rating from at least one and in some cases two debt ratings agencies. Should we receive a reduction in our credit rating from the agencies, the interest rate on our line of credit would increase by up to 0.50% and the interest rate on $100 million of our bank term notes would increase by up to 0.65%. Should we fail to attain an investment grade rating from the agencies, the interest rates on our $100 million term note due 2021 and our $175 million term note due 2024 would each increase by 1.750%.

Our Debt Levels May Increase

Our Board of Directors currently has a policy of limiting the amount of our debt at the time of incurrence to less than 50% of the sum of the market value of our issued and outstanding common stock and preferred stock plus the amount of our debt at the time that debt is incurred. However, our organizational documents do not contain any limitation on the amount of indebtedness we might incur. Accordingly, our Board of Directors could alter or eliminate the current policy limitation on borrowing without a vote of our shareholders. We could become highly leveraged if this policy were changed. However, our ability to incur debt is limited by covenants in our debt instruments.

We Are Subject to the Risks Posed by Fluctuating Demand and Significant Competition in the Self-Storage Industry

Our self-storage facilities are subject to all operating risks common to the self-storage industry. These risks include but are not limited to the following:

 

Decreases in demand for rental spaces in a particular locale;

 

Changes in supply of similar or competing self-storage facilities in an area;

 

Changes in market rental rates; and

 

Inability to collect rents from customers.

Our current strategy is to acquire interests only in self-storage facilities. Consequently, we are subject to risks inherent in investments in a single industry. Our self-storage facilities compete with other self-storage facilities in their geographic markets. Due to competition, the self-storage facilities could experience a decrease in occupancy levels and rental rates, which would decrease our cash available for distribution. We compete in operations and for acquisition opportunities with companies that have substantial financial resources. Competition may reduce the number of suitable acquisition opportunities offered to us and increase the bargaining power of property owners seeking to sell. The self-storage industry has at times experienced overbuilding in response to perceived increases in demand. A recurrence of overbuilding might cause us to experience a decrease in occupancy levels, limit our ability to increase rents, and compel us to offer discounted rents.

Our Real Estate Investments Are Illiquid and Are Subject to Uninsurable Risks and Government Regulation

General Risks.  Our investments are subject to varying degrees of risk generally related to the ownership of real property. The underlying value of our real estate investments and our income and ability to make distributions to our shareholders are dependent upon our ability to operate the self-storage facilities in a manner sufficient to maintain or increase cash available for distribution. Income from our self-storage facilities may be adversely affected by the following factors:

 

Changes in national economic conditions;

 

Changes in general or local economic conditions and neighborhood characteristics;

 

Competition from other self-storage facilities;

 

Changes in interest rates and in the availability, cost and terms of financing;

 

The impact of present or future environmental legislation and compliance with environmental laws;

 

The ongoing need for capital improvements, particularly in older facilities;

 

Changes in real estate tax rates and other operating expenses;

 

Adverse changes in governmental rules and fiscal policies;

 

Uninsured losses resulting from casualties associated with civil unrest, acts of God, including natural disasters, and acts of war;

 

Adverse changes in zoning laws; and

 

Other factors that are beyond our control.

Illiquidity of Real Estate May Limit its Value.  Real estate investments are relatively illiquid. Our ability to vary our portfolio of self-storage facilities in response to changes in economic and other conditions is limited. In addition, provisions of the Code may limit our ability to profit on the sale of self-storage facilities held for fewer than two years. We may be unable to dispose of a facility when we find disposition advantageous or necessary and the sale price of any disposition may not equal or exceed the amount of our investment.

Uninsured and Underinsured Losses Could Reduce the Value of our Self Storage Facilities.  Some losses, generally of a catastrophic nature, that we potentially face with respect to our self-storage facilities may be uninsurable or not insurable at an acceptable cost. Our management uses its discretion in determining amounts, coverage limits and deductibility provisions of insurance, with a view to acquiring appropriate insurance on our investments at a reasonable cost and on suitable terms. These decisions may result in insurance coverage that, in the event of a substantial loss, would not be sufficient to pay the full current market value or current replacement cost of our lost investment. Inflation, changes in building codes and ordinances, environmental considerations, and other factors also might make it infeasible to use insurance proceeds to replace a property after it has been damaged or destroyed. Under those circumstances, the insurance proceeds received by us might not be adequate to restore our economic position with respect to a particular property.

10


Possible Liability Relating to Environmental Matters.  Under various federal, state and local environmental laws, ordinances and regulations, a current or previous owner or operator of real property may be liable for the costs of removal or remediation of hazardous or toxic substances on, under, or in that property. Those laws often impose liability even if the owner or operator did not cause or know of the presence of hazardous or toxic substances and even if the storage of those substances was in violation of a customer’s lease. In addition, the presence of hazardous or toxic substances, or the failure of the owner to address their presence on the property, may adversely affect the owner’s ability to borrow using that real property as collateral. In connection with the ownership of the self-storage facilities, we may be potentially liable for any of those costs.

Americans with Disabilities Act.  The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, or ADA, generally requires that buildings be made accessible to persons with disabilities. A determination that we are not in compliance with the ADA could result in imposition of fines or an award of damages to private litigants. If we were required to make modifications to comply with the ADA, our results of operations and ability to make expected distributions to our shareholders could be adversely affected.

There Are Limitations on the Ability to Change Control of the Company

Limitation on Ownership and Transfer of Shares.  To maintain our qualification as a REIT, not more than 50% in value of our outstanding shares of stock may be owned, directly or indirectly, by five or fewer individuals, as defined in the Code. To limit the possibility that we will fail to qualify as a REIT under this test, our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation (“Articles of Incorporation”) include ownership limits and transfer restrictions on shares of our stock. Our Articles of Incorporation limit ownership of our issued and outstanding stock by any single shareholder to 9.8% of the aggregate value of our outstanding stock, except that the ownership by some of our shareholders is limited to 15%.

These ownership limits may:

 

Have the effect of precluding an acquisition of control of the Company by a third-party without consent of our Board of Directors even if the change in control would be in the interest of shareholders; and

 

Limit the opportunity for shareholders to receive a premium for shares of our common stock they hold that might otherwise exist if an investor were attempting to assemble a block of common stock in excess of 9.8% or 15%, as the case may be, of the outstanding shares of our stock or to otherwise effect a change in control of the Company.

Our Board of Directors may waive the ownership limits if it is satisfied that ownership by those shareholders in excess of those limits will not jeopardize our status as a REIT under the Code or in the event it determines that it is no longer in our best interests to be a REIT. Waivers have been granted to the former holders of our Series C preferred stock, FMR Corporation, Cohen & Steers, Inc. and Invesco Advisers, Inc. A transfer of our common stock and/or preferred stock to a person who, as a result of the transfer, violates the ownership limits may not be effective under some circumstances.

Other Limitations.  Other limitations could have the effect of discouraging a takeover or other transaction in which holders of some, or a majority, of our outstanding common stock might receive a premium for their shares of our common stock that exceeds the then prevailing market price or that those holders might believe to be otherwise in their best interest. The issuance of shares of preferred stock could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of the Company even if a change in control were in the shareholders’ interest. In addition, the Maryland General Corporation Law, or MGCL, imposes restrictions and requires specific procedures with respect to the acquisition of stated levels of share ownership and business combinations, including combinations with interested shareholders. These provisions of the MGCL could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of Life Storage even if a change in control were in the shareholders’ interest. Our bylaws contain a provision exempting from the MGCL control share acquisition statute any and all acquisitions by any person of shares of our stock. However, this provision may be amended or eliminated at any time. In addition, under the Operating Partnership’s agreement of limited partnership, in general, we may not merge, consolidate or engage in any combination with another person or sell all or substantially all of our assets unless that transaction includes the merger or sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Operating Partnership, which requires the approval of the holders of 75% of the limited partnership interests thereof. If we were to own less than 75% of the limited partnership interests in the Operating Partnership, this provision of the limited partnership agreement could have the effect of delaying or preventing us from engaging in some change of control transactions.

Our Failure to Qualify as a REIT Would Have Adverse Consequences

We intend to continue to operate in a manner that will permit us to qualify as a REIT under the Code. We have not requested and do not plan to request a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) that we qualify as a REIT, and the statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K are not binding on the IRS or any court. Qualification as a REIT involves the application of highly technical and complex Code provisions for which there are only limited judicial and administrative interpretations. Continued qualification as a REIT depends upon our continuing ability to meet various requirements concerning, among other things, the ownership of our outstanding stock, the nature of our assets, the sources of our income and the amount of our distributions to our shareholders. The fact that we hold substantially all of our assets through our Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries and joint ventures further complicates the application of the REIT requirements for us. Even a technical or inadvertent mistake could jeopardize our REIT status and, given the highly complex nature of the rules governing REITs and the ongoing importance of factual determinations, we cannot provide any assurance that we will continue to qualify as a REIT. Furthermore, Congress and the IRS might make changes to the tax laws and regulations, and the courts and the IRS might issue new rulings, that make it more difficult, or impossible, for us to remain qualified as a REIT.

11


If we were to fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year and are unable to avail ourselves of certain savings provisions set forth in the Code, we would not be allowed a deduction for distributions to shareholders in computing our taxable income and would be subject to federal income tax (including possibly increased state and local taxes) on our taxable income at the regular corporate rate of 21%. Unless entitled to relief under certain Code provisions, we also would be ineligible for qualification as a REIT for the four taxable years following the year during which our qualification was lost. As a result, distributions to the shareholders would be reduced for each of the years involved. Although we currently intend to continue to operate in a manner designed to qualify as a REIT, it is possible that future economic, market, legal, tax or other considerations may cause our Board of Directors to revoke our REIT election. If we fail to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes and are able to avail ourselves of one or more of the statutory savings provisions in order to maintain our REIT status, we would nevertheless be required to pay penalty taxes of $50,000 or more for each such failure.

We Will Pay Some Taxes Even if We Qualify as a REIT, Reducing Cash Available for Shareholders

Even if we qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, we are required to pay some federal, state and local taxes on our income and property. For example, we will be subject to income tax to the extent we distribute less than 100% of our REIT taxable income (including capital gains). Additionally, we will be subject to a 4% nondeductible excise tax on the amount, if any, by which dividends paid by us in any calendar year are less than the sum of 85% of our ordinary income, 95% of our capital gain net income and 100% of our undistributed income from prior years. Moreover, if we have net income from “prohibited transactions,” that income will be subject to a 100% tax. In general, prohibited transactions are sales or other dispositions of property held primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of business. The determination as to whether a particular sale is a prohibited transaction depends on the facts and circumstances related to that sale. While we will undertake sales of assets if those assets become inconsistent with our long-term strategic or return objectives, we do not believe that those sales should be considered prohibited transactions, but there can be no assurance that the IRS would not contend otherwise. The need to avoid prohibited transactions could cause us to forego or defer sales of properties that might otherwise be in our best interest to sell.

Three of our subsidiaries have elected to be treated as “taxable REIT subsidiaries” of the Company for federal income tax purposes. A taxable REIT subsidiary is taxed as a regular corporation and is limited in its ability to deduct interest payments made to us in excess of a certain amount, in addition to other limitations imposed on the deductibility of interest under the TCJA. In addition, if we receive or accrue certain amounts and the underlying economic arrangements between our taxable REIT subsidiaries and us are not comparable to similar arrangements among unrelated parties, we will be subject to a 100% penalty tax on those payments in excess of amounts deemed reasonable between unrelated parties.

Finally, some state and local jurisdictions may tax some of our income even though as a REIT we are not subject to federal income tax on that income because not all states and localities follow the federal income tax treatment of REITs. To the extent that we are, or any taxable REIT subsidiary is, required to pay federal, foreign, state or local taxes, we will have less cash available for distribution to shareholders.

Complying with REIT Requirements May Limit Our Ability to Hedge Effectively and May Cause Us to Incur Tax Liabilities

The REIT provisions of the Code may limit our ability to hedge our assets and operations. Under these provisions, any income that we generate from transactions intended to hedge our interest rate risk will be excluded from gross income for purposes of the REIT 75% and 95% gross income tests if the instrument hedges interest rate risk on liabilities used to carry or acquire real estate assets or manages the risk of certain currency fluctuations, and such instrument is properly identified under applicable Treasury Regulations. Income from hedging transactions that do not meet these requirements will generally constitute non-qualifying income for purposes of both the REIT 75% and 95% gross income tests. As a result of these rules, we may have to limit our use of hedging techniques that might otherwise be advantageous or implement those hedges through a taxable REIT subsidiary. This could increase the cost of our hedging activities because our taxable REIT subsidiaries would be subject to tax on gains or expose us to greater risks associated with changes in interest rates than we would otherwise want to bear. In addition, any losses in the taxable REIT subsidiary will generally not provide any tax benefit, except for being carried forward against future taxable income in the taxable REIT subsidiary.

Complying with the REIT Requirements May Cause Us to Forgo and/or Liquidate Otherwise Attractive Investments

To qualify as a REIT, we must continually satisfy tests concerning, among other things, the sources of our income, the nature and diversification of our assets, the amounts that we distribute to our shareholders and the ownership of our shares. To meet these tests, we may be required to take or forgo taking actions that we would otherwise consider advantageous. For instance, in order to satisfy the gross income or asset tests applicable to REITs under the Code, we may be required to forgo investments that we otherwise would make. Furthermore, we may be required to liquidate from our portfolio otherwise attractive investments. In addition, we may be required to make distributions to shareholders at disadvantageous times or when we do not have funds readily available for distribution. These actions could reduce our income and amounts available for distribution to our shareholders. Thus, compliance with the REIT requirements may hinder our investment performance.

If the Operating Partnership Fails to Qualify as a Partnership for Federal Income Tax Purposes, We Could Fail to Qualify as a REIT and Suffer Other Adverse Consequences

We believe that the Operating Partnership is organized and operated in a manner so as to be treated as a partnership and not an association or a publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation, for federal income tax purposes. As a partnership, the Operating Partnership is not subject to federal income tax on its income. Instead, each of the partners is allocated its share of the Operating Partnership’s income. No assurance

12


can be provided, however, that the IRS will not challenge the Operating Partnership’s status as a partnership for federal income tax purposes, or that a court would not sustain such a challenge. If the IRS were successful in treating the Operating Partnership as an association or publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation for federal income tax purposes, we would fail to meet the gross income tests and certain of the asset tests applicable to REITs and, accordingly, would cease to qualify as a REIT. Also, the failure of the Operating Partnership to qualify as a partnership would cause it to become subject to federal corporate income tax, which would reduce significantly the amount of its cash available for distribution to its partners, including us.

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act May Impact the Attractiveness of an Investment in our Stock in Ways Difficult to Anticipate

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “TCJA”), signed into law in December 2017, significantly changed the U.S. federal income tax law applicable, and is generally for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017. The TCJA reduced corporate and non-corporate income tax rates and changed numerous other provisions of the Code that may affect the taxation of REITs and their shareholders. These changes generally appear favorable to REITs; however, certain changes to the U.S. federal income tax laws pursuant to the TCJA could have a material and adverse effect on us. Some of these changes could reduce the relative competitive advantage of companies operating as REITs as opposed to companies not operating as REITs, including:

 

the reduction in tax rates applicable to individuals and C corporations, which could reduce the relative attractiveness of the generally single-level of taxation on REIT distributions;

 

the immediate expensing of capital expenditures, which could likewise reduce the relative attractiveness of the REIT structure; and

 

the limit on the deductibility of interest expense, which could increase the distribution requirement of REITs.

Many changes applicable to individual taxpayers are temporary – applying to taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017 and before January 1, 2026. The TCJA makes numerous other changes to the tax law that do not affect REITs directly, but these changes could impact our shareholders and, therefore, could indirectly affect us.

To date, the IRS has issued only limited guidance with respect to certain of the new provisions, and there are numerous interpretive issues that will require guidance. It is highly likely that technical corrections legislation will be needed to clarify certain aspects of the new law and give proper effect to legislative intent. There can be no assurance, however, that technical clarifications or changes needed to prevent unintended or unforeseen tax consequences will be enacted by Congress in the near future. It is also possible that future changes to tax law or guidance promulgated thereunder could adversely impact us.

Shareholders are urged to consult with their tax advisors about the TCJA and any other regulatory or administrative developments and proposals with respect to taxes and their potential effect on investment in our stock.

U.S. Federal Income Tax Treatment of REITs and Investments in REITs May Change, Which May Result in the Loss of Our Tax Benefits of Operating as a REIT

Current U.S. federal income tax treatment of a REIT and an investment in a REIT may be modified by legislative, judicial or administrative action at any time, and we cannot predict when such action may occur. We cannot predict how changes in U.S. federal income tax law will affect us or our investors nor can we predict the long-term impact of tax reforms on REITs.

We May Change the Dividend Policy for Our Common Stock in the Future

In 2018, our Board of Directors authorized and we declared quarterly common stock dividends of $1.00 per share in January, April, July and October, for a total 2018 dividend per share annual rate of $4.00 per share. In addition, our Board of Directors authorized and we declared a quarterly common stock dividend of $1.00 per share in January 2019. We can provide no assurance that our Board of Directors will not reduce or eliminate entirely dividend distributions on our common stock in the future.

Our Board of Directors will continue to evaluate our distribution policy on a quarterly basis as they monitor the capital markets and the impact of the economy on our operations. The decisions to authorize and pay dividends on our common stock in the future, as well as the timing, amount and composition of any such future dividends, will be at the sole discretion of our Board of Directors given conditions then existing, including our earnings, financial condition, capital requirements, debt maturities, the availability of capital, applicable REIT and legal restrictions and the general overall economic conditions and other factors. Any change in our dividend policy could have a material adverse effect on the market price of our common stock.

Market Interest Rates May Influence the Price of Our Common Stock

One of the factors that may influence the price of our common stock in public trading markets or in private transactions is the annual yield on our common stock as compared to yields on other financial instruments. An increase in market interest rates will result in higher yields on other financial instruments, which could adversely affect the price of our common stock.

Regional Concentration of Our Business May Subject Us to Economic Downturns in the States of Texas and Florida

As of December 31, 2018, 269 of our 774 self-storage facilities are located in the states of Texas and Florida. For the year ended December 31, 2018, the facilities in Texas and Florida accounted for approximately 21% and 13% of store revenues, respectively. This concentration of business in Texas and Florida exposes us to potential losses resulting from a downturn in the economies of those states. If economic conditions in those states deteriorate, we may experience a reduction in existing and new business, which may have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

When We Acquire Properties in New Markets, We Will Be Subject to Increased Operational Risks

We may acquire self-storage properties in markets where we have little or no operational experience. When we enter into new markets, we will be subject to increased risks resulting from our lack of experience and infrastructure in these markets and may need to incur additional costs, both expected and unexpected, to develop our operating capabilities in these markets. These risks could materially and adversely affect us, including our growth prospects, financial condition and results of operations.

Changes in Taxation of Corporate Dividends May Adversely Affect the Value of Our Common Stock

The maximum marginal rate of tax payable by domestic noncorporate taxpayers on dividends received from a regular “C” corporation under current federal law generally is 20%, as opposed to higher ordinary income rates, plus a 3.8% Medicare tax on net investment income. The reduced tax rate, however, does not apply to distributions paid to domestic noncorporate taxpayers by a REIT on its stock, except for certain limited amounts. However, the TCJA allows domestic noncorporate taxpayers to deduct 20% of their dividends from REITs, excluding capital gain dividends and qualified dividend income (which continue to be subject to the 20% rate). As a result, dividend income received by our domestic non-corporate shareholders is subject to a maximum effective federal income tax rate of 29.6% (plus the 3.8% Medicare tax on net investment income). The cumulative amount that a domestic noncorporate taxpayer may deduct for any taxable year with respect to ordinary REIT dividends from all sources (together with certain other categories of income that are eligible for such 20% deduction) may not exceed 20% of such person’s total taxable income (excluding any net capital gain). The income tax rate changes applicable to domestic noncorporate taxpayers and the 20% deduction for ordinary REIT dividends apply for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017 and before January 1, 2026.

The earnings of a REIT that are distributed to its stockholders generally remain subject to less federal income taxation than earnings of a non-REIT “C” corporation that are distributed to its stockholders net of corporate-level income tax. However, the lower rate of taxation to dividends paid by regular “C” corporations could cause domestic noncorporate investors to view the stock of regular “C” corporations as more attractive relative to the stock of a REIT, because the dividends from regular “C” corporations continue to be taxed at a lower rate while distributions from REITs (other than distributions designated as capital gain dividends) are generally taxed at the same rate as other ordinary income for domestic noncorporate taxpayers.

We are heavily dependent on computer systems, telecommunications and the Internet to process transactions, summarize results and manage our business. Security breaches or a failure of such networks, systems or technology could adversely impact our business and customer relationships.

We are heavily dependent upon automated information technology and Internet commerce, with many of our new customers coming from the Internet or the telephone, and the nature of our business involves the receipt and retention of personal information about them. We centrally manage significant components of our operations with our computer systems, including our financial information, and we also rely extensively on third-party vendors to retain data, process transactions and provide other systems services. These systems are subject to damage or interruption from power outages, computer and telecommunications failures, computer worms, viruses and other destructive or disruptive security breaches and catastrophic events.

As a result, our operations could be severely impacted by a natural disaster, terrorist attack or other circumstance that resulted in a significant outage of our systems or those of our third-party providers, despite our use of back up and redundancy measures. Further, viruses and other related risks could negatively impact our information technology processes. We could also be subject to a “cyber-attack” or other data security breach which would penetrate our network security, resulting in misappropriation of our confidential information, including customer personal information. System disruptions and shutdowns could also result in additional costs to repair or replace such networks or information systems and possible legal liability, including government enforcement actions and private litigation. In addition, our customers could lose confidence in our ability to protect their personal information, which could cause them to move out of rented storage spaces. Such events could lead to lost future sales and adversely affect our results of operations.

Properties

At December 31, 2018, we held ownership interests in, leased, and/or managed a total of 774 Properties situated in 28 states. Among our 774 self-storage properties are 113 properties that we manage for unconsolidated joint ventures of which we have varying percentage ownership interests. For additional information regarding unconsolidated joint ventures, see Note 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements filed herewith.

Our self-storage facilities offer inexpensive, easily accessible, enclosed storage space to residential and commercial users on a month-to-month basis. Most of our Properties are fenced and well lighted with automated access systems and surveillance cameras. A majority of the Properties are single-story, thereby providing customers with the convenience of direct vehicle access to their storage spaces. Our stores range in size from 15,000 to 195,000 net rentable square feet, with an average of approximately 72,000 net rentable square feet. The Properties generally are constructed of masonry or steel walls resting on concrete slabs and have standing seam metal, shingle, or tar and gravel roofs. All Properties have a property manager on-site during business hours. Generally, customers have access to their storage space up to 15 hours a day, and some customers are provided 24-hour access. Individual storage spaces are secured by a lock furnished by the customer to provide the customer with control of access to the space.

The following table provides certain information regarding the Properties in which we have an ownership interest, lease, and/or manage as of December 31, 2018:

Item 3.

Legal Proceedings

On or about August 25, 2014, a putative class action was filed against the Company in the Superior Court of New Jersey Law Division Burlington County. The action sought to obtain declaratory, injunctive and monetary relief for a class of consumers based upon alleged violations by the Company of various statutory laws. On October 17, 2014, the action was removed from the Superior Court of New Jersey Law Division Burlington County to the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey. The parties subsequently reached a settlement of all claims for an aggregate amount of $8.0 million, and the settlement was approved by the court on June 12, 2018. The Company is in the process of making payments under the settlement to the members of the class and has made most of the required payments as of December 31, 2018. The aggregate remaining settlement amount of $0.2 million has been recorded as a liability in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet.

Under the Deferred Compensation Plan for Directors, non-employee Directors may defer all or part of their Directors’ fees that are otherwise payable in cash. Directors’ fees that are deferred under the Plan will be credited to each Directors’ account under the Plan in the form of Units. The number of Units credited is determined by dividing the amount of Directors’ fees deferred by the closing price of the Company’s Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange on the day immediately preceding the day upon which Directors’ fees otherwise would be paid by the Company. A Director is credited with additional Units for dividends on the shares of Common Stock represented by Units in such Directors’ Account. A Director may elect to receive the shares in a lump sum on a date specified by the Director or in quarterly or annual installments over a specified period and commencing on a specified date.

The actual number of shares to be issued as part of the 2016, 2017, and 2018 performance-based awards will be determined at the end of the three-year performance periods in 2019, 2020 and 2021, respectively.

Item 7.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis of the consolidated financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this report.

Disclosure Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

When used in this discussion and elsewhere in this document, the words “intends,” “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” and similar expressions are intended to identify “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of that term in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and in Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, which may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such factors include, but are not limited to, the effect of competition from new self-storage facilities, which would cause rents and occupancy rates to decline; the Company’s ability to evaluate, finance and integrate acquired businesses into the Company’s existing business and operations; the Company’s ability to effectively compete in the industry in which it does business; the Company’s existing indebtedness may mature in an unfavorable credit environment, preventing refinancing or forcing refinancing of the indebtedness on terms that are not as favorable as the existing terms; interest rates may fluctuate, impacting costs associated with the Company’s outstanding floating rate debt; the Company’s ability to comply with debt covenants; any future ratings on the Company’s debt instruments; the regional concentration of the Company’s business may subject it to economic downturns in the states of Florida and Texas; the Company’s reliance on its call center; the Company’s cash flow may be insufficient to meet required payments of operating expenses, principal, interest and dividends; and tax law changes that may change the taxability of future income.

Business and Overview

We believe we are the fifth largest operator of self-storage properties in the United States based on square feet owned and managed. All our stores conduct business under the customer-friendly name Life Storage ®.

Operating Strategy

Our operating strategy is designed to generate growth and enhance value by:

 

A.

Increasing operating performance and cash flow through aggressive management of our stores:

 

We seek to differentiate our self-storage facilities from our competition through innovative marketing and value-added product offerings including:

 

o

Strategic and efficient Web and Mobile marketing that places Life Storage in front of customers in search engines at the right time for conversion;

 

o

Regional marketing which creates effective brand awareness in the cities where we do business;

 

o

Our Customer Care Center answers sales inquiries and makes reservations for all of our Properties on a centralized basis. Further, our call center and customer contact software was developed in-house and is 100% supported by our in-house experts;

 

o

Our “Rent Now” fully-digital rental platform allows customers to “skip the counter” by selecting a storage unit, completing the rental agreement and making their rental payment online;

 

o

Our truck move-in program, under which, at present, 386 of our stores offer a free Life Storage truck to assist our customers moving into their spaces, and also serve as a moving billboard further supporting our branding efforts;

 

o

Our dehumidification system, which provides our customers with a better environment to store their goods and improves yields on our Properties;

 

o

Our Warehouse Anywhere last mile delivery solution provides corporate customers with third-party logistics and related services through a forward deployed, unmanned, decentralized model combining storage asset management with proprietary inventory tracking technology;

 

Our customized computer applications link each of our primary sales channels (customer care center, web, and store) allowing for real time access to space type and inventory, pricing, promotions, and other pertinent store information. This also provides us with raw data on historical and current pricing, move-in and move-out activity, specials and occupancies, etc. This data is then used within the advanced pricing analytics programs employed by our revenue management team;

 

All of our store employees receive a high level of training. New store associates are assigned a Certified Training Manager as a mentor during their initial training period. In addition, all employees have access to our online training and development portal for initial training as well as continuing education. Finally, we have a company intranet that acts as a communications portal for company policy and procedures, online ordering, incentive rankings, etc.

21


 

B.

Acquiring additional stores:

 

Our objective is to acquire new stores in markets in which we currently operate. This is a proven strategy we have employed over the years as it facilitates our branding efforts, grows market share, and allows us to achieve improved economies of scale through shared advertising, payroll, and other services.

 

We also look to enter new markets that are in the top 50 Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) by acquiring established multi-property portfolios. With this strategy we are then able to seek out additional acquisition or third-party management opportunities to continue to grow market share, branding and enhance economies of scale.

 

C.

Expanding our management business:

 

We see our management business as a source of future acquisitions. We hold a minority interest in multiple joint ventures which hold a total of 113 properties that we manage. In addition, we manage 100 self-storage facilities for which we have no ownership. We may enter into additional management agreements and develop additional joint ventures in the future.

 

D.

Expanding and enhancing our existing stores:

 

Over the past five years we have undertaken a program of expanding and enhancing our Properties. In 2014, we added 272,000 square feet to existing Properties and converted 9,000 square feet to premium storage for a total cost of approximately $18.3 million; in 2015, we added 256,000 square feet to existing Properties and converted 5,000 square feet to premium storage for a total cost of approximately $14.1 million; in 2016, we added 343,000 square feet to existing Properties and converted 55,000 square feet to premium storage for a total cost of approximately $22.4 million; in 2017, we added 382,000 square feet to existing Properties and converted 122,000 square feet to premium storage for a total cost of approximately $35.2 million; and in 2018, we added 365,000 square feet to existing Properties and converted 25,000 square feet to premium storage for a total cost of approximately $27.8 million. From 2013 through 2018 we also installed solar panels on 23 buildings for a total cost of approximately $7.4 million. Our solar panel initiative, which began in 2011, has reduced energy consumption at those installed locations.

Supply and Demand / Operating Trends

We believe the supply and demand model in the self-storage industry is micro market specific in that a majority of our business comes from within a five mile radius of our stores. Suppressed economic conditions and a tight credit market environment resulted in a decrease in new supply on a national basis from 2010-2015, but the out-performance of the sector compared to other real estate asset classes has drawn new capital to self-storage. The Company experienced significant new competition beginning in 2016, especially in its Texas markets, and expects noticeable growth in new supply at least through 2019. Despite the inflow of additional properties, we have seen capitalization rates on quality acquisitions in the top fifty major metropolitan markets (expected annual return on investment) remain stable at approximately 5.00% to 5.50%.

Since 2010, subsequent to the economic recession in 2009, we have experienced annual same store sales increases up to and including the current year. We feel our recent performance further supports the notion that the self-storage industry holds up well regardless of the prevailing economic landscape.

We believe the decrease in same-store move-ins in 2018 when compared to 2017 was due to increased competition and customer rate sensitivity in certain markets coupled with our higher occupancy rates in 2018 resulting in less spaces available to rent. Additionally, same store move ins in 2017 were increased as a result of hurricane activity and resulting flooding in Texas and Florida which did not recur in 2018. We believe the reduction in same store move-outs was a result of customers increasing their length of stay.

Elevated property tax increases is a trend that we experienced from 2014 through 2018. We expect same store expense growth resulting from increases in wages, health costs, property insurance and property tax increases in 2019. We believe the same store expense increases will be at manageable levels.

22


Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported in our financial statements and the accompanying notes. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments, including those related to carrying values of storage facilities, bad debts, and contingencies and litigation. We base these estimates on experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Assigning purchase price to assets acquired: Upon adoption of Accounting Standards Update 2017-01, most of our self-storage facility acquisitions are not considered business combinations and are treated as asset acquisitions. As a result, the cost of acquired storage facilities is assigned primarily to land, land improvements, building, equipment, and in-place customer leases based on the relative fair values of these assets as of the date of acquisition. We use significant unobservable inputs in our determination of the fair values of these assets. The determination of these inputs involves judgments and estimates that can vary for each individual property based on various factors specific to the properties and the functional, economic and other factors affecting each property. To determine the fair value of land, we use prices per acre derived from observed transactions involving comparable land in similar locations. To determine the fair value of buildings, equipment and improvements, we use financial projections and applicable discount rates to estimate the fair values of properties acquired, as well as current replacement cost estimates based on information derived from construction industry data by geographic region as adjusted for the age, condition, and economic obsolescence associated with these assets. The fair values of in-place customer leases are based on the rent that would be lost due to the amount of time required to replace existing customers which is based on our historical experience with market demand and turnover in our facilities.

Consolidation and investment in joint ventures: We consolidate all wholly owned subsidiaries. Partially owned subsidiaries and joint ventures are consolidated when we control the entity or have the power to direct the activities most significant to the economic performance of the entity. Investments in joint ventures that we do not control but over which we have significant influence are reported using the equity method. Under the equity method, our investment in joint ventures are stated at cost and adjusted for our share of net earnings or losses and reduced by distributions. Equity in earnings of real estate ventures is generally recognized based on our ownership interest in the earnings of each of the unconsolidated real estate ventures.

Qualification as a REIT: We operate, and intend to continue to operate, as a REIT under the Code, but no assurance can be given that we will at all times so qualify. To the extent that we continue to qualify as a REIT, we will not be taxed, with certain limited exceptions, on the taxable income that is distributed to our shareholders. If we fail to qualify as a REIT, any requirement to pay federal income taxes could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

See Note 2 to the financial statements.

YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2018 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2017

We recorded rental revenues of $502.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2018, an increase of $17.2 million or 3.5% when compared to 2017 rental revenues of $485.3 million. Of the increase in rental revenue, $15.9 million resulted from a 3.5% increase in rental revenues at the 521 core properties considered in same store sales (the Company will include stores in its same store pool in the second year after the stores achieve 80% sustained occupancy using market rates and incentives; therefore the 521 core properties considered in same store sales are those included in the consolidated results of operations since January 1, 2017, excluding stores not yet stabilized, the properties we sold in 2017 and 2018, eight stores significantly impacted by flooding in 2016, 2017 and 2018, and two stores that the Company began to fully replace in 2017). The increase in same store rental revenues was a result of 2.8% increase in rental income per square foot while maintaining consistent average occupancy. The remaining increase in rental revenue of $1.3 million resulted from the stores not included in the same store pool. Other operating income, which includes merchandise sales, revenues related to tenant insurance, truck rentals, management fees and acquisition fees, increased by $3.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2018 compared to 2017 primarily due to increased revenues related to our Warehouse Anywhere last mile delivery solution, increased storage management referral fees, increased revenues related to tenant customer insurance, and increased management fees earned on managed properties.

Property operations and maintenance expenses decreased $1.7 million or 1.4% in 2018 compared to 2017. The 521 core properties considered in the same store pool experienced a $0.3 million or 0.2% decrease in such expenses as a result of decreases in internet marketing costs which had been a focused increase in 2017 in an effort to drive more traffic to the Company’s website due to our name change to Life Storage. In addition to the same store increase, property operations and maintenance expenses decreased $1.4 million due to the net activity from the stores not included in the same store pool. Real estate tax expense increased $3.7 million or 6.4% in 2018 compared to 2017. The 521 core properties considered in the same store pool experienced a $3.0 million or 5.7% increase which is reflective of a net increase in property tax levies on those properties. In addition to the same store real estate expense increase, real estate taxes increased $0.7 million from the stores not included in the same store pool.

23


Our 2018 same store results consist of only those properties that have been owned by the Company and included in our consolidated results since January 1, 2017, excluding stores not yet stabilized, the properties we sold in 2017 and 2018, eight stores significantly impacted by flooding in 2016, 2017 and 2018, and two stores that the Company began to fully replace in 2017. We believe that same store results is a meaningful measure to investors in evaluating our operating performance because, given the acquisitive nature of the industry, same store results provide information about the overall business after removing the results from those properties that were not consistent from year-to-year. Additionally, same store results are widely used in the real estate industry and the self-storage industry to measure performance. Same store results should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, consolidated results in accordance with GAAP.

The following table sets forth operating data for our 521 same store properties. These results provide information relating to property operating changes without the effects of acquisitions.

Net operating income increased $19.1 million or 5.5% as a result of a 4.1% increase in our same store net operating income along with the impact of stores not included in the same store pool.

Net operating income or “NOI” is a non-GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) financial measure that we define as total continuing revenues less continuing property operating expenses. NOI also can be calculated by adding back to net income: interest expense, impairment and casualty losses, operating lease expense, depreciation and amortization expense, loss on sale of real estate, acquisition related costs, general and administrative expense, and deducting from net income: income from discontinued operations, interest income, gain on sale of real estate, and equity in income of joint ventures. We believe that NOI is a meaningful measure to investors in evaluating our operating performance because we utilize NOI in making decisions with respect to capital allocations, in determining current property values, and in comparing period-to-period and market-to-market property operating results. Additionally, NOI is widely used in the real estate industry and the self-storage industry to measure the performance and value of real estate assets without regard to various items included in net income that do not relate to or are not indicative of operating performance, such as depreciation and amortization, which can vary depending on accounting methods and the book value of assets. NOI should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, other measures of financial performance reported in accordance with GAAP, such as total revenues, operating income and net income. There are material limitations to using a measure such as NOI, including the difficulty associated with comparing results among more than one company and the inability to analyze certain significant items, including depreciation and interest expense, that directly affect our net income. We compensate for these limitations by considering the economic effect of the excluded expense items independently as well as in connection with our analysis of net income.

General and administrative expenses decreased $1.7 million or 3.4% from 2017 to 2018. The key driver of the decrease was the Company recording the impact of the New Jersey lawsuit settlement discussed in Note 14 in 2017, partially offset by $1.1 million of costs incurred during 2018 associated with changes to the composition of the Company’s Board of Directors and other proxy matters and an increase in personnel costs in 2018.

Depreciation and amortization expense decreased to $102.5 million in 2018 from $127.5 million in 2017 as a result of reduced amortization of customer lists related to acquisitions in 2016, including the acquisition of LifeStorage, LP, which became fully amortized during the third and fourth quarters of 2017.

Interest expense decreased from $74.4 million in 2017 to $70.7 million in 2018. The decrease was primarily due to $9.6 million of interest expense recorded in 2017 related to the settlement of interest rate swaps, partially offset by the effect of increased outstanding debt balances throughout 2018 and higher interest rates on the Company’s line of credit in 2018.

During 2018, the Company sold 13 non-strategic properties and received net cash proceeds of $91.3 million, resulting in a gain of approximately $56.4 million. Twelve of these properties were sold to an unconsolidated joint venture in which the Company has a 20% ownership interest. During 2017, we sold two non-strategic storage facilities for net proceeds of approximately $16.9 million, resulting in a $3.5 million loss on sale. The Company has subsequently leased one of these properties and has deferred the related gain until the termination of the lease which is scheduled in 2019. These dispositions were not classified as discontinued operations since they did not meet the criteria for such classification under ASU 2014-08 guidance.

YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2017 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2016

We recorded rental revenues of $485.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2017, an increase of $57.2 million or 13.4% when compared to 2016 rental revenues of $428.1 million. Of the increase in rental revenue, $5.6 million resulted from a 1.6% increase in rental revenues at the 430 core properties considered in same store sales (the Company will include stores in its same store pool in the second year after the stores achieve 80% sustained occupancy using market rates and incentives; therefore the 430 core properties considered in same store sales are those included in the consolidated results of operations since January 1, 2016, excluding stores not yet stabilized, the stores we sold in 2016 and 2017, six stores significantly impacted by flooding in 2016 and 2017, and two stores that the Company began to fully replace in 2017). The increase in same store rental revenues was a result of a 30 basis point increase in average occupancy and a 0.8% increase in rental income per square foot. The remaining increase in rental revenue of $51.6 million resulted from the stores not included in the same store pool. Other operating income, which includes merchandise sales, insurance administrative fees, truck rentals, management fees and acquisition fees, increased by $9.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2017 compared to 2016 primarily due to increased administrative fees earned on customer insurance, increased management fees earned on managed properties, and increased acquisition fees earned on properties acquired by unconsolidated joint ventures.

Property operations and maintenance expenses increased $19.4 million or 18.8% in 2017 compared to 2016. The 430 core properties considered in the same store pool experienced a $2.3 million or 2.9% increase in such expenses as a result of increases in payroll and higher internet marketing costs in an effort to drive more traffic to the Company’s website due to our name change to Life Storage. In addition to the same store increase, property operations and maintenance expenses increased $17.1 million due to the net activity from the stores not included in the same store pool. Real estate tax expense increased $9.8 million or 20.4% in 2017 compared to 2016. The 430 core properties considered in the

25


same store pool experienced a $2.5 million or 6.6% increase which is reflective of a net increase in property tax levies on those properties. In addition to the same store real estate expense increase, real estate taxes increased $7.3 million from the stores not included in the same store pool.

Our 2017 same store results consist of only those properties that were included in our consolidated results since January 1, 2016, excluding stores not yet stabilized, the stores we sold in 2016 and 2017, six stores significantly impacted by flooding in 2016 and 2017, and two stores that the Company began to fully replace in 2017.

General and administrative expenses increased $6.9 million or 16.1% from 2016 to 2017. The key drivers of the increase were the New Jersey lawsuit settlement discussed in Note 14 to the consolidated financial statements and $0.9 million in officer severance recorded in 2017.

There were no acquisition related costs recorded in 2017 as no 2017 acquisitions were considered business combinations. Acquisition related costs were $29.5 million in 2016 related to the acquisition of 122 stores during that period, including the acquisition of LifeStorage, LP.

26


Depreciation and amortization expense increased to $127.5 million in 2017 from $117.1 million in 2016, primarily due to depreciation related to the properties acquired in 2016 and 2017 and accelerated depreciation on storage facility assets identified for replacement in 2017.

Interest expense increased from $54.5 million in 2016 to $74.4 million in 2017. The increase was primarily due to a full year of interest in 2017 on the $600 million 3.5% senior notes issued in June 2016 and the $200 million 3.67% term loan entered into in July 2016, and $9.6 million of interest expense recorded in 2017 related to interest rate swaps settled in 2017 and the termination of the related hedging relationships.

During 2017, we sold two non-strategic storage facilities for net proceeds of approximately $16.9 million, resulting in a $3.5 million loss on sale. The Company has subsequently leased one of these properties and has deferred the related gain until the termination of the lease which is scheduled in 2020. During 2016, we sold eight non-strategic storage facilities for net proceeds of approximately $34.1 million, resulting in a $15.3 million gain on sale. These dispositions were not classified as discontinued operations since they did not meet the criteria for such classification under ASU 2014-08 guidance.

FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS

We believe that Funds from Operations (“FFO”) provides relevant and meaningful information about our operating performance that is necessary, along with net earnings and cash flows, for an understanding of our operating results. FFO adds back historical cost depreciation, which assumes the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably in the future. In fact, real estate asset values increase or decrease with market conditions. Consequently, we believe FFO is a useful supplemental measure in evaluating our operating performance by disregarding (or adding back) historical cost depreciation.

FFO is defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, Inc. (“NAREIT”) as net income available to common shareholders computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), excluding gains or losses on sales of properties, plus impairment of real estate assets, plus depreciation and amortization and after adjustments to record unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures on the same basis. In December 2018, NAREIT issued restated guidance on FFO which reaffirmed this definition. We believe that to further understand our performance FFO should be compared with our reported net income and cash flows in accordance with GAAP, as presented in our consolidated financial statements.

In October and November of 2011, NAREIT issued guidance for reporting FFO that reaffirmed NAREIT’s view that impairment write-downs of depreciable real estate should be excluded from the computation of FFO. This view is because impairment write-downs are akin to and effectively reflect the early recognition of losses on prospective sales of depreciable property or represent adjustments of previously charged depreciation. Since depreciation of real estate and gains/losses from sales are excluded from FFO, it is NAREIT’s view that it is consistent and appropriate for write-downs of depreciable real estate to also be excluded. Our calculation of FFO excludes impairment write-downs of investments in storage facilities.

Our computation of FFO may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs or real estate companies that do not define the term in accordance with the current NAREIT definition or that interpret the current NAREIT definition differently. FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP, and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (determined in accordance with GAAP) as an indication of our performance, as an alternative to net cash flows from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of our liquidity, or as an indicator of our ability to make cash distributions.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our line of credit and term notes require us to meet certain financial covenants measured on a quarterly basis, including prescribed leverage, fixed charge coverage, minimum net worth, limitations on additional indebtedness, and limitations on dividend payouts. At December 31, 2018, the Company was in compliance with all debt covenants. In the event that the Company violates its debt covenants in the future, the amounts due under the agreements could be callable by the lenders and could adversely affect our credit rating requiring us to pay higher interest and other debt-related costs. We believe that if operating results remain consistent with historical levels and levels of other debt and liabilities remain consistent with amounts outstanding at December 31, 2018, the entire availability under our line of credit could be drawn without violating our debt covenants.

Our ability to retain cash flow is limited because we operate as a REIT. To maintain our REIT status, a substantial portion of our operating cash flow must be used to pay dividends to our shareholders. We believe that our internally generated net cash provided by operating activities and the availability on our line of credit will be sufficient to fund ongoing operations, capital improvements, dividends and debt service requirements.

Cash flows from operating activities were $262.3 million, $248.6 million, and $225.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017, and 2016, respectively. The increases in operating cash flows from 2017 to 2018 and from 2016 to 2017 were primarily due to an increase in net income as adjusted for non-cash depreciation and amortization expenses and other non-cash items during these periods.

Cash used in investing activities was $55.7 million, $156.5 million, and $1,796.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017, and 2016 respectively. The decrease in cash used from 2017 to 2018 was primarily a result of an increase in proceeds from the sale of self-storage facilities in 2018 coupled with a reduction in the Company’s contributions to joint ventures in 2018. The decrease in cash used in investing activities from 2016 to 2017 was primarily a result of the acquisition of LifeStorage, LP and other acquisitions made in 2016, partially offset by an increase in the Company’s investment in unconsolidated joint ventures in 2017.

Cash used in financing activities was $202.0 million in 2018 compared to cash used in financing activities of $106.6 million in 2017. This increase in cash used in financing activities was the result of a reduction in cash proceeds from the issuance of term debt, partially offset by a reduction in debt paid off in 2018. Cash used in financing activities was $106.6 million in 2017 compared to cash provided by financing activities of $1,587.2 million in 2016. In 2017, the Company increased its dividends paid on its common stock to $183.7 million from $156.2 million in 2016. On December 7, 2017, the Operating Partnership issued $450 million in senior notes, the proceeds of which were used primarily to repay $225 million of then outstanding term notes and to pay down the Company’s revolving line of credit. Also, during 2017, the Company repurchased 112,554 of the Company’s outstanding common shares for $8.2 million under the Company’s Buyback Program discussed further below. In 2016, the Company received net proceeds from the sale of common stock through public offerings of $935.1 million. The Company also received net proceeds from the issuance of term notes of $796.7 million and net proceeds from the Company’s revolving credit line of $174.0 million in 2016. Further, the Company settled pre-issuance interest rate swaps on the 2026 Notes (discussed further below) for $9.2 million in 2016.

For the years 2016, 2017 and 2018, see Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements for details of the Company’s unsecured line of credit and term note activity, Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements for the Company’s mortgage activity and related details, and Note 12 to the consolidated financial statements for the Company’s equity activity.

Our line of credit facility and term notes have an investment grade rating from Standard and Poor’s (BBB) and Moody’s (Baa2).

Future acquisitions, our expansion and enhancement program, and share repurchases are expected to be funded with future cash flows from operations, draws on our line of credit, issuance of common and preferred stock, the issuance of unsecured term notes, sale of properties, and private placement solicitation of joint venture equity. Should the capital markets deteriorate, we may have to curtail acquisitions, our expansion and enhancement program, and share repurchases.

ACQUISITION OF PROPERTIES

In 2018, we acquired eight self-storage facilities comprising 474,500 square feet in California (2), Florida (1), Georgia (1), Missouri (1), New Hampshire (1), and New York (2) for a total purchase price of $77.7 million. Two of these facilities were managed for third-parties by the Company prior to acquisition. Based on the trailing financial information of the entities from which the properties were acquired, the weighted average capitalization rate was 2.8% on these purchases and capitalization rates ranged from 0.0% on newly constructed facilities to 6.3% on mature facilities. In 2017, we acquired two self-storage facilities comprising 148,000 square feet in Illinois (1) and North Carolina (1) for a total purchase price of $22.6 million. As both of these acquisitions were of newly constructed facilities, the weighted average capitalization rate for each acquisition was 0%. In 2016, we acquired 122 self-storage facilities comprising 9.4 million square feet in Arizona (1), California (22), Colorado (6), Connecticut (2), Florida (11), Illinois (25), Massachusetts (1), Mississippi (1), New Hampshire (5), Nevada (17), New York (4), Pennsylvania (1), South Carolina (1), Texas (23), Utah (1), and Wisconsin (1) for a total purchase price of $1,783.9 million. Based on the trailing financial information of the entities from which the properties were acquired, the weighted average capitalization rate was 3.6% on these purchases and capitalization rates ranged from 0% on recently constructed facilities to 6.7% on mature facilities.

FUTURE ACQUISITION AND DEVELOPMENT PLANS

Our external growth strategy is to increase the number of facilities we own by acquiring suitable facilities in markets in which we already have operations, or to expand into new markets by acquiring several facilities at once in those new markets. We are actively pursuing acquisitions in 2019 and at December 31, 2018 we had one property under contract to be purchased for $9.3 million. During January and February of 2019, the Company entered into contracts with unrelated parties to acquire 16 self-storage facilities for an aggregate purchase price of $177.7 million. The purchases of these facilities which are under contract are subject to customary conditions to closing, and there is no assurance that these facilities will be acquired.

In 2018, we added 365,000 square feet to existing Properties and converted 25,000 square feet to premium storage for a total cost of approximately $27.8 million. Although we do not expect to construct any new facilities in 2019, we do plan to complete $40 million to $55 million in expansions and enhancements to existing facilities of which $24.1 million was paid prior to December 31, 2018.

In 2018, the Company spent approximately $26.7 million for recurring capitalized expenditures including roofing, paving, and office renovations. We expect to spend $20 million to $25 million in 2019 on similar capital expenditures.

DISPOSITION OF PROPERTIES

During 2018, the Company sold 13 non-strategic properties in Arizona (2), Florida (1), North Carolina (1), Texas (8), and Virginia (1) for net proceeds of $100.5 million, which includes a $9.1 million investment retained in an unconsolidated joint venture, resulting in an aggregate gain on sale of approximately $56.4 million. Twelve of these properties were sold to an unconsolidated joint venture in which the Company has a 20% ownership interest. During 2017, the Company sold two non-strategic storage facilities in Utah (1) and Texas (1) for net proceeds of $16.9 million, resulting in a $3.5 million loss on sale. The Company has subsequently leased one of these properties and has deferred the related gain until the termination of the lease which is scheduled in 2020. During 2016, the Company sold eight non-strategic storage facilities in Alabama (1), Georgia (1), Mississippi (1), Texas (1), and Virginia (4) for net proceeds of approximately $34.1 million, resulting in an aggregate gain on sale of $15.3 million.

29


As part of our ongoing strategy to improve overall operating efficiencies and portfolio quality, we may seek to sell additional Properties to third-parties or joint venture partners in 2019.

 

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

Our off-balance sheet arrangements consist of our investment in 13 self-storage joint ventures in which we have ownership interests ranging from 5% to 85%, as well as our investment in the entity that owns the building that houses our corporate office in which we have a 49% ownership. We account for our investments in these joint ventures using the equity method. The debt held by these unconsolidated real estate entities is secured by the real estate owned by these entities and is non-recourse to us. See Note 11 to our consolidated financial statements for additional details.

REIT QUALIFICATION AND DISTRIBUTION REQUIREMENTS

As a REIT, we are not required to pay federal income tax on income that we distribute to our shareholders, provided that we satisfy certain requirements, including distributing at least 90% of our REIT taxable income for a taxable year. These distributions must be made in the year to which they relate, or in the following year if declared before we file our federal income tax return, and if they are paid not later than the date of the first regular dividend of the following year.

As a REIT, we must derive at least 95% of our total gross income from income related to real property, interest and dividends. In 2018, our percentage of revenue from such sources was approximately 97%, thereby passing the 95% test, and no special measures are expected to be required to enable us to maintain our REIT designation. Although we currently intend to operate in a manner designed to qualify as a REIT, it is possible that future economic, market, legal, tax or other considerations may cause our Board of Directors to revoke our REIT election.

INTEREST RATE RISK

The primary market risk to which we believe we are exposed is interest rate risk, which may result from many factors, including government monetary and tax policies, domestic and international economic and political considerations, and other factors that are beyond our control.

Based on our outstanding unsecured floating rate debt of $191 million at December 31, 2018, a 100 basis point increase in interest rates would have a $1.9 million effect on our interest expense. This amount was determined by considering the impact of the hypothetical interest rates on our borrowing cost on December 31, 2018. This analysis does not consider the effects of the reduced level of overall economic activity that could exist in such an environment. Further, in the event of a change of such magnitude, we would consider taking 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, the sensitivity analysis assumes no changes in our capital structure.

INFLATION

We do not believe that inflation has had or will have a direct effect on our operations. Substantially all of the leases at the facilities are on a month-to-month basis which provides us with the opportunity to increase rental rates in a timely manner in response to any potential future inflationary pressures.

SEASONALITY

Our revenues typically have been higher in the third and fourth quarters, primarily because self-storage facilities tend to experience greater occupancy during the late spring, summer and early fall months due to the greater incidence of residential moves and college student activity during these periods. However, we believe that our customer mix, diverse geographic locations, rental structure and expense structure provide adequate protection against undue fluctuations in cash flows and net revenues during off-peak seasons. Thus, we do not expect seasonality to materially affect distributions to shareholders.

LIFE STORAGE, INC. AND LIFE STORAGE LP

DECEMBER 31, 2018

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. ORGANIZATION

The Parent Company, which operates as a self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust (a “REIT”), was formed on April 19, 1995 to own and operate self-storage facilities throughout the United States. On June 26, 1995, the Parent Company commenced operations effective with the completion of its initial public offering. The Parent Company, the Operating Partnership and their consolidated subsidiaries are collectively referred to in this report as the “Company.” In addition, terms such as “we,” “us,” or “our” used in this report may refer to the Company, the Parent Company and/or the Operating Partnership.

At December 31, 2018, we had an ownership interest in, and/or managed 774 self-storage properties in 28 states under the name Life Storage ®. Among our 774 self-storage properties are 113 properties that we manage for unconsolidated joint ventures (See Note 11), 100 properties that we manage and have no ownership interest, and four properties that we lease. During 2018, approximately 21% and 13% of the Company’s revenue was derived from stores in the states of Texas and Florida, respectively.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation : All of the Company’s assets are owned by, and all its operations are conducted through the Operating Partnership. Life Storage Holdings, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Parent Company (“Holdings”), is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership; the Parent Company is a limited partner of the Operating Partnership, and, through its ownership of Holdings and its limited partnership interest, controls the operations of the Operating Partnership, holding a 99.5% ownership interest therein as of December 31, 2018. The remaining ownership interests in the Operating Partnership (the “Units”) are held by certain former owners of assets acquired by the Operating Partnership.

We consolidate all wholly owned subsidiaries. Partially owned subsidiaries and joint ventures are consolidated when we control the entity. Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Parent Company, the Operating Partnership, Life Storage Solutions, LLC (one of the Parent Company’s taxable REIT subsidiaries), Warehouse Anywhere LLC (an entity owned 60% by Life Storage Solutions, LLC), and all other wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. Investments in joint ventures that we do not control but for which we have significant influence over are accounted for using the equity method.

Included in the Parent Company’s consolidated balance sheets are noncontrolling redeemable Operating Partnership Units and included in the Operating Partnership’s consolidated balance sheets are limited partners’ redeemable capital interest at redemption value. These interests are presented in the “mezzanine” section of the consolidated balance sheets because they do not meet the functional definition of a liability or equity under current accounting literature. These represent the outside ownership interests of the limited partners in the Operating Partnership. There were 248,966 and 217,481 noncontrolling redeemable Operating Partnership Units outstanding at December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. These unitholders are entitled to receive distributions per unit equivalent to the dividends declared per share on the Parent Company’s common stock. The Operating Partnership is obligated to redeem each of these limited partnership Units in the Operating Partnership at the request of the holder thereof for cash equal to the fair market value of a share of the Parent Company’s common stock based on a 10-day average of the daily market price, at the time of such redemption, provided that the Company, at its option, may elect to acquire any such Unit presented for redemption for one common share or cash. The Company accounts for these noncontrolling redeemable Operating Partnership Units under the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 480-10-S99. The application of the ASC Topic 480-10-S99 accounting model requires the noncontrolling interest to follow normal noncontrolling interest accounting and then be marked to redemption value at the end of each reporting period if higher (but never adjusted below that normal noncontrolling interest accounting amount). The offset to the adjustment to the carrying amount of the noncontrolling interests is reflected in the Parent Company’s dividends in excess of net income and in the Operating Partnership’s general partner and limited partners capital balances. Accordingly, in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, noncontrolling interests are reflected at redemption value at December 31, 2018 and 2017, equal to the number of noncontrolling interest units outstanding multiplied by the fair market value of the Parent Company’s common stock at that date. Redemption value exceeded the value determined under the Company’s historical basis of accounting at those dates.

The following is a reconciliation of the Parent Company’s noncontrolling redeemable Operating Partnership Units and the Operating Partnership’s limited partners’ redeemable capital interest for the year ending December 31:

In 2018, the Operating Partnership issued 35,457 Units with a fair value of $3.5 million as part of the consideration paid to acquire a self-storage property. The fair value of the Units on the date of issuance was determined based upon the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on that date.

In 2018, 3,972 Operating Partnership Units were redeemed for cash.

Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Restricted Cash : The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Restricted cash is included in other assets in the consolidated balance sheets and represents those amounts required to be placed in escrow by banks with whom the Company has entered into mortgages and cash placed in escrow related to amounts received upon disposal of real estate, restricted for use on future acquisitions of real estate.

Accounts Receivable : Accounts receivable are composed of trade and other receivables recorded at billed amounts and do not bear interest. The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Company’s best estimate of the amount of probable uncollectible amounts in the Company’s existing accounts receivable. The Company determines the allowance based on a number of factors, including experience, credit worthiness of customers, and current market and economic conditions. The Company reviews the allowance for doubtful accounts on a regular basis. Account balances are charged against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. The allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded as a reduction of accounts receivable and amounted to $0.5 million and $0.7 million at December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Revenue and Expense Recognition : Rental income is recognized when earned pursuant to month-to-month leases for storage space. Promotional discounts are recognized as a reduction to rental income over the promotional period, which is generally during the first month of occupancy. Rental income received prior to the start of the rental period is included in deferred revenue. Equity in earnings of real estate joint ventures that we have significant influence over is recognized based on our ownership interest in the earnings of these entities.

The disaggregated revenues of the Company presented in accordance with ASC Topic 606 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” are as follows:

Cost of operations, general and administrative expense, interest expense and advertising costs are expensed as incurred. For the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017, and 2016, advertising costs were $11.3 million, $12.3 million, and $9.5 million, respectively. The Company accrues property taxes based on actual invoices, estimates and historical trends. If these estimates are incorrect, the timing and amount of expense recognition would be affected.

Other Operating Income : Other operating income consists primarily of sales of storage-related merchandise (locks and packing supplies), revenues related to tenant insurance, incidental truck rentals, and management and acquisition fees from unconsolidated joint ventures.

Investment in Storage Facilities : Storage facilities are recorded at cost. The purchase price of acquired facilities is allocated to land, land improvements, building, equipment, and in-place customer leases based on the relative fair value of each component or based on the fair value of each component if accounted for as a business combination. The fair values of land are determined based upon comparable market sales information. The fair values of buildings are determined based upon estimates of current replacement costs adjusted for depreciation on the properties. For the year ended December 31, 2016, $29.5 million of acquisition related costs were incurred and expensed. There were no acquisition related costs expensed in 2018 or 2017.

Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives of forty years for buildings and improvements, and five to twenty years for furniture, fixtures and equipment. Estimated useful lives are reevaluated when facts and circumstances indicate that the economic lives of assets do not extend to their currently assigned useful lives. Expenditures for significant renovations or improvements that extend the useful life of assets are capitalized. Depreciation expense was $102.3 million, $102.7 million and $87.2 million for the years ending December 31, 2018, 2017, and 2016, respectively. Interest and other costs incurred during the construction period of major expansions, and on investments in joint ventures with properties under construction, are capitalized. Capitalized interest during the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017, and 2016 was $0.6 million, $0.3 million and $0.1 million, respectively. Repair and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.

Whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the Company’s property may not be recoverable, the Company’s policy is to complete an assessment of impairment. Impairment is evaluated based upon comparing the sum of the property’s expected undiscounted future cash flows to the carrying value of the property. If the sum of the undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the property, an impairment loss is recognized for any amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. For the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017, and 2016, no assets have been determined to be impaired under this policy.

In general, sales of real estate and related profits / losses are recognized when control of the underlying assets has transferred.

Trade Name : The Company’s trade name, which was acquired in 2016, has an indefinite life and is not amortized but is reviewed for impairment annually or more frequently when facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the Company’s trade name may not be recoverable. We may elect to perform a qualitative assessment that considers economic, industry and company-specific factors as part of our annual test. If, after completing this assessment, it is determined that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the trade name is less than its carrying value, we proceed to a quantitative test. We did not elect to perform a qualitative assessment in 2018.

Quantitative testing requires a comparison of the fair value of the trade name to its carrying value. We use a discounted cash flow analysis under the relief-from-royalty method to estimate the fair value of the trade name. This method incorporates various assumptions, including projected revenue growth rates, the terminal growth rate, the royalty rate to be applied, and the discount rate utilized. If the carrying value of the trade name exceeds the calculated fair value, the trade name is considered impaired to the extent that the carrying value exceeds the fair value. We did not record any impairment in 2018, 2017, or 2016.

Other Assets : Included in other assets are cash balances held in escrow for encumbered properties, property deposits and the value placed on in-place customer leases at the time of acquisition. Property deposits at December 31, 2018 and 2017 were $1.1 million and $0.9 million, respectively. In 2016, a decision was made to not proceed with the acquisition of two properties on which the Company had previously made property deposits totaling $1.8 million. As a result, these property deposits were abandoned and are included in write-off of acquired property deposits on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. No such expenses were incurred in 2018 or 2017.

The Company allocates a portion of the purchase price of acquisitions to in-place customer leases. The methodology used to determine the fair value of in-place customer leases is described in Note 8. The Company amortizes in-place customer leases on a straight-line basis over 12 months (the estimated future benefit period).

Investment in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures : The Company’s investment in unconsolidated joint ventures where the Company has significant influence but not control, and joint ventures which are variable interest entities in which the Company is not the primary beneficiary, are recorded under the equity method of accounting in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Under the equity method, the Company’s investment in unconsolidated joint ventures is stated at cost and adjusted for the Company’s share of net earnings or losses and reduced by distributions. Equity in earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures is generally recognized based on the Company’s ownership interest in the earnings of each of the unconsolidated joint ventures. For the purposes of presentation in the statement of cash flows, the Company follows the “look through” approach for classification of distributions from joint ventures. Under this approach, distributions are reported under operating cash flow unless the facts and circumstances of a specific distribution clearly indicate that it is a return of capital (e.g., a liquidating dividend or distribution of the proceeds from the joint venture’s sale of assets), in which case it is reported as an investing activity.

Accounts Payable and Accrued Liabilities : Accounts payable and accrued liabilities consists primarily of trade payables, accrued interest, and property tax accruals.

Income Taxes : The Company qualifies as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and will generally not be subject to corporate income taxes to the extent it distributes its taxable income to its shareholders and complies with certain other requirements.

The Company has elected to treat three of its subsidiaries as taxable REIT subsidiaries. In general, the Company’s taxable REIT subsidiaries may perform additional services for tenants and generally may engage in certain real estate or non-real estate related business. A taxable REIT subsidiary is subject to corporate federal and state income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities.

The Company recorded federal and state income tax expense of $3.1 million in 2018, federal and state income tax benefit of $1.0 million in 2017, and federal and state income tax expense of $0.4 million in 2016, which are included in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. The 2018 income tax expense includes current tax expense of $1.7 million and deferred tax expense of $1.4 million. At December 31, 2018 and 2017, there were no material unrecognized tax benefits. Interest and penalties relating to uncertain tax positions will be recognized in income tax expense when incurred. As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company had no interest or penalties related to uncertain tax provisions. Income taxes payable at December 31, 2018 and 2017 are classified within accounts payable and accrued liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. Prepaid income taxes at December 31, 2018 and 2017 are classified within prepaid expenses, while the net deferred tax assets of our taxable REIT subsidiaries at December 31, 2018 and 2017 are classified within other assets in the consolidated balance sheets. As of December 31, 2018, the Company’s taxable REIT subsidiaries have prepaid taxes of $0.1 million, deferred tax assets of $2.1 million and a deferred tax liability of $1.6 million. As of December 31, 2017, the Company’s taxable REIT subsidiaries have prepaid taxes of $0.1 million, deferred tax assets of $3.6 million and a deferred tax liability of $1.7 million.

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “TCJA”) was enacted in December 2017. The TCJA significantly changed the U.S. federal income tax laws applicable to businesses and their owners, including REITs and their shareholders. Under the TCJA, the corporate income tax rate is reduced from a maximum rate of 35% to a flat 21% rate. The reduced corporate income tax rate, which is effective for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017, applies to income earned by our taxable REIT subsidiaries.

Derivative Financial Instruments : The Company accounts for derivatives in accordance with ASC Topic 815 “ Derivatives and Hedging”, which requires companies to carry all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. The Company determines the fair value of derivatives using an income approach. The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative instrument depends on whether it has been designated and qualifies as part of a hedging relationship and, if so, the reason for holding it. The Company’s use of derivative instruments has been limited to cash flow hedges of certain interest rate risks.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements : In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”, which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in “Revenue Recognition (Topic 605),” and requires an entity to recognize revenue in a way that depicts the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017 and is therefore effective for the Company as of January 1, 2018. The Company elected to adopt the standard using the modified retrospective transition method. Leases are specifically excluded from the scope of ASU 2014-09, therefore, upon analysis, the Company concluded that the adoption of the new standard did not have any impact on the timing or amounts of the Company’s rental revenue from customers which represents over 90% of the Company’s total operating revenues. We have evaluated the other revenue streams material to the Company and have concluded that the adoption of the new standard did not have any material impact on the timing or amounts of the Company’s material revenue streams and no cumulative effect adjustment is required as of the date of initial application. Payment from such revenue streams is due and generally collected upon invoice. Also, as part of the Company’s adoption of ASU 2014-09, the Company has elected to apply the transition guidance only to contracts that were not completed contracts at the date of initial application. Further, related to the Company’s management fee revenue stream which relates to managing self-storage facilities for third-parties and unconsolidated joint ventures, the Company has elected to apply a practical expedient provided in the new standard which allows the Company to recognize revenue in the amount of management fees to which the Company has a right to invoice as that amount corresponds directly with the value to the customer of the entity’s performance completed to date. With respect to the Company’s revenues related to tenant insurance, the Company recognizes revenue based upon the amount that the Company has the right to invoice following the practical expedient in ASC 606-10-55-18 as such amount corresponds directly with the value to the third-party insurer of the entity’s performance completed to date.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)” (ASC 842). This guidance revises existing practice related to accounting for leases under Accounting Standards Codification Topic 840 Leases (ASC 840) for both lessees and lessors. The new guidance in ASU 2016-02 requires lessees to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for virtually all of their leases (other than leases that meet the definition of a short-term lease). The lease liability will be equal to the present value of lease payments and the right-of-use asset will be based on the lease liability, subject to adjustments such as for initial direct costs and prepaid or accrued lease payments. For income statement purposes, the new standard retains a dual model similar to ASC 840, requiring leases to be classified as either operating or finance. For lessees, operating leases will result in straight-line expense (similar to current accounting by lessees for operating leases under ASC 840) while finance leases will result in a front-loaded expense pattern (similar to current accounting by lessees for capital leases under ASC 840). While the new standard maintains similar accounting for lessors as under ASC 840, the new standard reflects updates to, among other things, align with certain changes to the lessee model. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods, within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018 and is therefore effective for the Company as of January 1, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for all entities, though the Company did not adopt ASU 2016-02 early. Management has determined that the application of ASC 842 did not have a significant impact on the Company’s currently existing leases where the Company is a lessor. The Company has inventoried all leases where the Company is a lessee as of the initial date of application and has examined certain other contracts to identify whether such contracts contain a lease as defined under the new guidance. The Company’s lease population comprises lease for land and/or buildings in which certain of the Company’s self-storage facilities operate, as well as leases of corporate office space. All leases where the Company is the lessee qualify as operating leases and the Company does not have any financing leases as of the date of adoption of ASU 2016-02. The aggregate right-of-use asset and related lease liability at the initial date of application related to all leases identified by the Company where the Company is a lessee total approximately $16 million. Two of the leases for real estate at which the Company operates self-storage facilities include unilateral options for the Company to extend the terms of these leases. However, those extension periods are not included in the terms of the respective leases under ASC 842 due to the Company’s inability to assert that it is reasonably certain to exercise those options based primarily on the length of time before such options would be exercised. One of the Company’s

46


leases of a self-storage facility also provides the Company with the option to purchase the property under lease for $13.3 million. Future lease payments which are based on changes to the consumer price index and future common area maintenance charges related to corporate office space leases have been excluded from the future minimum noncancelable lease payments for the respective leases due to their variable nature. The Company has made the following accounting policy elections and practical expedient elections provided for in ASC 842:

 

The package of practical expedients in ASC 842-10-65-1(f) which, if elected, stipulates that for all leases existing at the date of application (1) an entity need not reassess whether any expired or existing contracts contain leases; (2) an entity need not reassess the lease classification for any expired or existing leases; and (3) an entity need not reassess initial direct costs for any existing leases.

 

The practical expedient in ASC 842-10-65-1(g) which, if elected, stipulates that an entity may use hindsight at the date of initial application in determining the lease term and in assessing impairment of the entity’s right to use assets.

 

The practical expedient in ASC 842-10-65-1(gg) which, if elected, stipulates that an entity need not assess whether existing or expired land easements that were not previously accounted for as leases under ASC 840 are or contain a lease under ASC 842.

 

The practical expedient in ASC 842-10-15-37 which, if elected, allows a lessee to choose not to separate nonlease components from lease components and instead account for each separate lease component and the nonlease components associated with that lease component as a single lease component.

 

The practical expedient in ASC 842-10-15-42A which, if elected, allows a lessor to choose not to separate nonlease components from lease components and, instead, to account for each separate lease component and the nonlease components associated with that lease component as a single lease component if the nonlease components otherwise would be accounted for under ASC 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”, and both (1) the timing and pattern of transfer for the lease component and nonlease component(s) associated with the lease component are the same, and (2) the lease component, if accounted for separately, would be classified as an operating lease in accordance with ASC 842-10-25 paragraphs 2 and 3.

 

The option in ASC 842-20-25-2 for a lessee to elect, as an accounting policy, not to apply the recognition requirements in ASC 842 to short-term leases and, instead, to recognize the lease payments in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term and variable lease payments in the period in which the obligation for those payments is incurred. Leases are considered short-term when they have a term of less than one year.

 

The Company has elected to define the term “major part,” as referenced in ASC 842-10-25-2 related to the remaining economic life of an asset, as being 75% or more of the remaining economic life of the asset.

 

The Company has elected to define the term “substantially all,” as referenced in ASC 842-10-25-2 related to the fair value of an asset, as being 90% or more of the fair value of the underlying asset.

 

The Company has elected to define the term “at or near the end,” as referenced in ASC 842-10-25-2 related to a lease commencement date, as being a date that falls within the last 25% of the total economic life of the underlying asset.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (a Consensus of the Emerging Issues Task Force)” in an effort to reduce existing diversity in practice related to the classification of certain cash receipts and cash payments on the statements of cash flows. The guidance addresses the classification of cash flows related to, among other things, distributions received from equity method investees. The amendments in this update are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those annual periods. The Company has elected to use the nature of the distribution approach to classify distributions received from its equity method investees. This approach requires distributions to be classified in the statement of cash flows on the basis of the nature of the activity or activities of the investee that generated the distribution as either a return on investment (classified as a cash inflow from operating activities) or a return of investment (classified as a cash inflow from investing activities). The implementation of this update as of January 1, 2018 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash (a Consensus of the Emerging Issues Task Force)” which requires restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents to be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. The amendments in this update are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption of this update is permitted. Other than modifications to the statement of cash flows and the additional information disclosed earlier in note 2, the adoption of ASU 2016-18 on January 1, 2018 did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The consolidated statements of cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 have been modified to conform to the presentation requirements of ASU 2016-18 which entail including restricted cash along with cash in the beginning balance, ending balance and net change in cash and restricted cash on the consolidated statement of cash flows.

47


In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business” which is intended to assist entities with evaluating whether a set of transferred assets and activities is a business. The amendments in this update are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption of this update is permitted and the Company adopted this update effective January 1, 2017. The adoption of ASU 2017-01 has potential impact on the accounting treatment of properties acquired subsequent to the date of adoption. Property acquisitions treated as business combinations under previous guidance may no longer be treated as business combinations subsequent to the adoption of ASU 2017-01. To the extent that properties that we acquire do not meet the definition of a “business” under ASU 2017-01, future acquisitions of properties may be accounted for as asset acquisitions resulting in the capitalization of acquisition costs incurred in connection with these transactions and the allocation of the purchase price and related acquisition costs to the assets acquired based on their relative fair values. There were no properties acquired in 2017 that would have been accounted for as business combinations prior to the adoption of ASU 2017-01 and the eight properties acquired during 2018 would likely have been accounted for as business combinations prior to the adoption of ASU 2017-01.

In February 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-05, “Other Income – Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets (Subtopic 610-20): Clarifying the Scope of Asset Derecognition Guidance and Accounting for Partial Sales of Nonfinancial Assets” which clarifies the scope and application of ASC 610-20 on the sale or transfer of nonfinancial assets, including real estate, and in substance nonfinancial assets to noncustomers, including partial sales. The amendments in this update are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those annual periods. The implementation of this update as of January 1, 2018 could potentially impact the accounting treatment of future real estate sales of the Company if such sales are to parties who are also customers of the Company, though the implementation did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018.

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, “Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting” which provides guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting in Topic 718. The amendments in this update are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those annual periods. The implementation of this update as of January 1, 2018 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements, however, all future changes to the terms or conditions of any of the Company’s share-based payment awards are subject to the guidance in ASU 2017-09 and could potentially be accounted for differently than under the previous guidance concerning such changes.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract” which provides guidance to assist entities in accounting for implementation, setup, and other upfront costs (collectively referred to as implementation costs) incurred by entities that are a customer in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract. The amendments in this update are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those annual periods. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2018-15 on its consolidated financial statements.

Stock-Based Compensation : The Company accounts for stock-based compensation under the provisions of ASC Topic 718, “Compensation - Stock Compensation”. The Company recognizes compensation cost in its financial statements for all share based payments granted, modified, or settled during the period. For awards with graded vesting, compensation cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the related vesting period.

The Company recorded compensation expense (included in general and administrative expense) of $7,000, $15,000, and $89,000, respectively, related to stock options and $6.0 million, $7.1 million, and $7.2 million, respectively, related to amortization of non-vested stock grants for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017, and 2016. The Company uses the Black-Scholes Merton option pricing model to estimate the fair value of stock options granted subsequent to the adoption of ASC Topic 718. The application of this pricing model involves assumptions that are judgmental and sensitive in the determination of compensation expense. There were no options granted during the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016.

In September 2018, the Company announced that current Chief Executive Officer, David Rogers, would be retiring effective March 1, 2019. In conjunction with this announcement, the vesting periods of certain restricted stock awards and performance-based awards previously granted to Mr. Rogers were accelerated to reflect his March 1, 2019 retirement date. As a result of this change, an additional $0.9 million of compensation expense was recorded in 2018 and $0.4 million of additional compensation expense is expected to be recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2019.

To determine expected volatility, the Company uses historical volatility based on daily closing prices of its Common Stock over periods that correlate with the expected terms of the options granted. The risk-free rate is based on the United States Treasury yield curve at the time of grant for the expected life of the options granted. Expected dividends are based on the Company’s history and expectation of dividend payouts. The expected life of stock options is based on the midpoint between the vesting date and the end of the contractual term. The Company recognizes any forfeitures as they occur.

48


During 2018, 2017, and 2016, the Company issued performance based non-vested stock awards to certain executives. The fair values for the performance based awards in 2018, 2017 and 2016 were estimated at the time the awards were granted using a Monte Carlo pricing model applying the following weighted-average assumptions:

The Monte Carlo pricing model was not used to value any other 2018, 2017, and 2016 non-vested shares granted as no market conditions were present in these awards. The value of these other non-vested shares was equal to the stock price on the date of grant.

Use of Estimates : The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Reclassifications : Certain amounts previously reported in the consolidated financial statements have been reclassified in the accompanying consolidated financial statements to conform to the current period’s presentation, primarily to change the presentation of Gain (loss) on sale of storage facilities and Gain on sale of real estate on the consolidated statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016. The Company has included Gain (loss) on sale of storage facilities and Gain on sale of real estate as a component of Income from operations to present gains and losses on sales of properties in accordance with ASC 360-10-45-5. The change was made for the prior periods as the Securities and Exchange Commission has eliminated Rule 3-15(a)(1) of Regulation S-X as part of Release No. 33-10532; 34-83875; IC-33203, which had required REITs to present gains and losses on sales of properties outside of continuing operations in the income statement.

3. EARNINGS PER SHARE AND EARNINGS PER UNIT

The Company reports earnings per share and earnings per unit data in accordance with ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share .” Under ASC Topic 260-10, unvested share-based payment awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents, whether paid or unpaid, are participating securities and shall be included in the computation of earnings-per-share pursuant to the two-class method. The Parent Company and the Operating Partnership have calculated their basic and diluted earnings per share/unit using the two-class method.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per common share utilizing the two-class method.

The Company acquired eight self-storage facilities during 2018 and two self-storage facilities during 2017. The acquisitions of these facilities were accounted for as asset acquisitions (See Note 2 for further discussion of the Company’s adoption of the accounting guidance under ASU 2017-01 as of January 1, 2017). The cost of these facilities, including closing costs, was assigned to land, buildings, equipment, improvements and in-place customer leases based upon their relative fair values.

The purchase price of the eight facilities acquired in 2018 and the two facilities acquired in 2017 has been assigned as follows:

All properties acquired were purchased from unrelated third parties. The operating results of the facilities acquired have been included in the Company’s operations since the respective acquisition dates. The $22.6 million of cash paid for the facilities acquired in 2017 includes $0.5 million of deposits that were paid in 2015 and $0.6 million of deposits that were paid in 2016, when these facilities originally went under contract.

Non-cash investing activities during 2018 include the issuance of $3.5 million in Operating Partnership Units valued based on the market price of the Company’s common stock at the date of acquisition, the assumption of a mortgage with an acquisition-date fair value of $1.4 million, and the assumption of net other liabilities totaling $198,000. Non-cash investing activities during 2017 include the assumption of net other liabilities totaling $12,000. Non-cash investing activities during 2016 include the issuance of $9.5 million in Operating Partnership Units valued based on the market price of the Company’s common stock at the date of acquisition, the assumption of three mortgages with acquisition-date fair values of $11.3 million, and the assumption of net other liabilities of $7.2 million.

The Company measures the fair value of in-place customer lease intangible assets based on the Company’s experience with customer turnover and the estimated cost to replace the in-place leases. The Company amortizes in-place customer leases on a straight-line basis over 12 months (the estimated future benefit period).

In-place customer leases are included in other assets on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets at December 31 as follows:

Amortization expense related to in-place customer leases was $0.2 million, $24.8 million, and $29.9 million, for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017, and 2016, respectively. Amortization expense is expected to be $1.0 million in 2019 based on in-place customer leases at December 31, 2018.

Property Dispositions

During 2018 the Company sold 13 non-strategic properties and received net cash proceeds of $91.3 million. Twelve of these properties were sold to Life Storage-HIERS Storage LLC, an unconsolidated joint venture in which the Company maintains a 20% ownership interest, resulting in a gain on sale of approximately $55.5 million in 2018. Along with the cash proceeds from this sale, the Company received a $9.1 million equity investment in the joint venture representing the Company’s 20% ownership interest. This represented a non-cash investing activity. During 2017 the Company sold two non-strategic properties and received net cash proceeds of $16.9 million. The Company has subsequently leased one of the properties sold during 2017 and will continue to operate the property through November 2019. Due to the Company’s continuing involvement in this property, the related gain on the sale of this property has been deferred and will be recognized by the Company upon termination of this lease. During 2016 the Company sold eight non-strategic properties and received net cash proceeds of $34.1 million.

 

Change in Useful Life Estimates

As part of the Company’s capital improvement efforts during 2018 and 2017, buildings at certain self-storage facilities were identified for replacement. As a result of the decision to replace these buildings, the Company reassessed the estimated useful lives of the then existing buildings. This useful life reassessment resulted in increases in depreciation expense of approximately $3.1 million and $3.7 million in 2018 and 2017, respectively. The Company estimates that the change in estimated useful lives of buildings identified for replacement as of December 31, 2018 will not have a significant impact on depreciation expense in 2019.

The change in name of the Company’s storage facilities from Uncle Bob’s Self Storage ® to Life Storage ® in 2016 required replacement of signage at all existing storage facilities. As a result of this replacement of signage, the Company reassessed the estimated useful lives of the then existing signage in 2016. This useful life reassessment resulted in increases in depreciation expense of approximately $0.5 million in 2017 and $8.2 million in 2016 as depreciation was accelerated over the new remaining useful lives. There was no related impact on depreciation expense in 2018 as the replacement of this signage was completed as of December 31, 2017.

The accelerated depreciation resulting from the events discussed above reduced both basic and diluted earnings per share/unit by approximately $0.07, $0.09, and $0.19 per share/unit in 2018, 2017, and 2016, respectively.

Until October 30, 2018, the Company had maintained an unsecured credit agreement which included a $500 million revolving credit facility with a maturity date of December 10, 2019 and a term note in the principal amount of $100 million with a maturity date of June 4, 2020. The term note was initially in the amount of $325 million. In 2017, the Company repaid $225 million under this term note. Such credit agreement provided for interest on the revolving credit facility at a variable rate equal to LIBOR plus a margin based on the Company’s credit rating, interest on the term note at a variable annual rate equal to LIBOR plus a margin based on the Company’s credit rating, and required an annual 0.15% facility fee on the revolving credit facility. The interest rate on the Company’s line of credit at December 31, 2017 was approximately 2.63% and the interest rate on the term note at December 31, 2017 was 2.53%.

 

On October 30, 2018, the Company entered into an amended and restated credit facility which replaced the credit facility discussed above. Under the amended credit facility, the Company’s revolving credit facility remains at $500 million and the maturity date of such facility is extended to March 10, 2023. The new revolving credit facility bears interest at a variable annual rate equal to LIBOR plus a margin based on the Company’s credit rating (at December 31, 2018 the margin is 0.95%) and requires an annual facility fee which varies based on the Company’s credit rating (at December 31, 2018 the facility fee is 0.15%). At December 31, 2018, there was $408.2 million available on the unsecured line of credit. Also, under the amended credit facility, the $100 million term note previously existing was replaced with a new $100 million term note, with the maturity date remaining June 4, 2020. The new $100 million term note bears interest at a variable annual rate equal to LIBOR plus a margin based on the Company’s credit rating (at December 31, 2018 the margin is 1.00%). The interest rate on the Company’s line of credit at December 31, 2018 was approximately 3.47% and the interest rate on the term note at December 31, 2018 was approximately 3.52%. The Company has the option under the new credit facility to increase the total aggregate borrowing capacity of the facilities to $900 million.

On December 7, 2017, the Operating Partnership issued $450 million in aggregate principal amount of 3.875% unsecured senior notes due December 15, 2027 (the “2027 Senior Notes”). The 2027 Senior Notes were issued at a 0.477% discount to par value. Interest on the 2027 Senior Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on June 15 and December 15. The 2027 Senior Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Parent Company. Proceeds received upon issuance, net of discount to par of $2.1 million and underwriting discount and other offering expenses totaling $4.0 million, totaled $443.9 million.

On June 20, 2016, the Operating Partnership issued $600 million in aggregate principal amount of 3.50% unsecured senior notes due July 1, 2026 (the “2026 Senior Notes”). The 2026 Senior Notes were issued at a 0.553% discount to par value. Interest on the 2026 Senior Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on January 1 and July 1. The 2026 Senior Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Parent Company. Proceeds received upon issuance, net of discount to par of $3.3 million and underwriting discount and other offering expenses of $5.5 million, totaled $591.2 million.

The indenture under which the 2027 Senior Notes and the 2026 Senior Notes were issued restricts the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to incur debt unless the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries comply with a leverage ratio not to exceed 60% and an interest coverage ratio of more than 1.5:1 on all outstanding debt, after giving effect to the incurrence of the debt. The indenture also restricts the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to incur secured debt unless the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries comply with a secured debt leverage ratio not to exceed 40% after giving effect to the incurrence of the debt. The indenture also contains other financial and customary covenants, including a covenant not to own unencumbered assets with a value less than 150% of the unsecured indebtedness of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries. At December 31, 2018, the Company was in compliance with such covenants.

On May 17, 2016, the Company entered into two senior unsecured acquisition bridge facilities (the “Bridge Facilities”) totaling $1,675 million with the Company’s third-party advisors to the acquisition of LifeStorage, LP. In consideration for the bridge financing commitments, the Company paid fees totaling $7.3 million which are included as interest expense – bridge financing commitment fee in the 2016 consolidated statement of operations. The Bridge Facilities commitments were not drawn upon and were terminated on June 29, 2016.  

On July 21, 2016, the Company entered into a $200 million term note maturing July 21, 2028 bearing interest at a fixed rate of 3.67%.

On April 8, 2014, the Company entered into a $175 million term note maturing April 2024 bearing interest at a fixed rate of 4.533%. The interest rate on the term note increases to 6.283% if the Company is not rated by at least one rating agency or if the Company’s credit rating is downgraded.

In 2011, the Company entered into a $100 million term note maturing August 5, 2021 bearing interest at a fixed rate of 5.54%. The interest rate on the term note increases to 7.29% if the notes are not rated by at least one rating agency, the credit rating on the notes is downgraded or if the Company’s credit rating is downgraded.

The line of credit and term notes require the Company to meet certain financial covenants, measured on a quarterly basis, including prescribed leverage, fixed charge coverage, minimum net worth, limitations on additional indebtedness and limitations on dividend payouts. At December 31, 2018, the Company was in compliance with such covenants.

We believe that if operating results remain consistent with historical levels and levels of other debt and liabilities remain consistent with amounts outstanding at December 31, 2018 the entire availability on the line of credit could be drawn without violating our debt covenants.

The Company’s fixed rate term notes contain a provision that allows for the noteholders to call the debt upon a change of control of the Company at an amount that includes a make whole premium based on rates in effect on the date of the change of control.

Deferred debt issuance costs and the discount on the outstanding term notes are both presented as reductions of term notes in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017. Amortization expense related to these deferred debt issuance costs, which exclude costs related to the Bridge Facilities, was $2.2 million, $3.0 million and $1.7 million for the periods ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and is included in interest expense in the consolidated statements of operations.

The table below summarizes the Company’s debt obligations at December 31, 2018. The estimated fair value of financial instruments is subjective in nature and is dependent on a number of important assumptions, including discount rates and relevant comparable market information associated with each financial instrument. The fair values of the fixed rate term notes and mortgage notes were estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities. These assumptions are considered Level 2 inputs within the fair value hierarchy as described in Note 8. The carrying values of our variable rate debt instruments approximate their fair values as these debt instruments bear interest at current market rates that approximate market participant rates. This is considered a Level 2 input within the fair value hierarchy. The use of different market assumptions and estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the reported estimated fair value amounts. Accordingly, the estimates presented below are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company would realize in a current market exchange.

7. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Interest rate swaps have been used to adjust the proportion of total debt that is subject to variable interest rates. The interest rate swaps required the Company to pay an amount equal to a specific fixed rate of interest times a notional principal amount and to receive in return an amount equal to a variable rate of interest times the same notional amount. The notional amounts were not exchanged. Forward starting interest rate swaps have also been used by the Company to hedge the risk of changes in the interest-related cash outflows associated with the potential issuance of long-term debt. No other cash payments are made unless the contract is terminated prior to its maturity, in which case the contract would likely be settled for an amount equal to its fair value. The Company enters into interest rate swaps with a number of major financial institutions to minimize counterparty credit risk.

Interest rate swaps qualify and are designated as hedges of the amount of future cash flows related to interest payments on variable rate debt. Therefore, interest rate swaps are recorded in the consolidated balance sheets at fair value and the related gains or losses are deferred in shareholders’ equity or partners’ capital as Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss (“AOCL”). These deferred gains and losses are recognized in interest expense during the period or periods in which the related interest payments affect earnings. However, to the extent that the interest rate swaps are not perfectly effective in offsetting the change in value of the interest payments being hedged, the ineffective portion of these contracts is recognized in earnings immediately. Ineffectiveness was de minimis in 2018, 2017, and 2016.

In 2017, the Company terminated hedges and settled the interest rate swap agreements on $225 million of the Company’s variable rate debt in connection with repayment of the related variable rate term notes. The Company settled these interest rate swap agreements for a total of $9.6 million which is included in interest expense in the 2017 consolidated statement of operations. As a result of the termination, no gains or losses related to the terminated interest rate swaps are included in AOCL at December 31, 2018 or December 31, 2017.

In the third quarter of 2018, the Company’s last remaining interest rate swaps on $100 million of the Company’s variable rate debt expired and were settled by the Company. As a result, no gains or losses related to the expired interest rate swaps are included in AOCL at December 31, 2018.

In 2015 and 2016, the Company entered into forward starting interest rate swap agreements to hedge the risk of changes in the interest-related cash flows associated with the potential issuance of fixed rate long-term debt. In conjunction with the issuance of the 2026 Senior Notes (see Note 5), the Company terminated these hedges and settled the forward starting swap agreements for approximately $9.2 million. The $9.2 million has been deferred in AOCL and is being amortized as additional interest expense over the ten-year term of the 2026 Senior Notes or until such time as interest payments on the 2026 Senior Notes are no longer probable. Consistent with the Company’s accounting policy, the cash outflow related to the settlement of the forward starting swap agreements is reflected as a financing activity in the 2016 consolidated statement of cash flows.

There are no interest rate swaps held by the Company at December 31, 2018. During 2018, 2017, and 2016, the net reclassification from AOCL to interest expense was ($0.2 million), $12.3 million, and $4.6 million, respectively, based on payments received and made under the swap agreements. Payments made or received under the interest rate swap agreements have been reclassified to interest expense as settlements occurred.

8. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The Company applies the provisions of ASC Topic 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures ” in determining the fair value of its financial and nonfinancial assets and liabilities. ASC Topic 820 establishes a valuation hierarchy for disclosure of the inputs to valuation used to measure fair value. This hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three broad levels as follows. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs are quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly through market corroboration. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs based on our own assumptions used to measure assets and liabilities at fair value. A financial asset or liability’s classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Refer to Note 6 for presentation of the fair values of debt obligations which are disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis.

At December 31, 2018, there were no assets or liabilities carried at fair value measured on a recurring basis. The following table provides the assets and liabilities carried at fair value measured on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2017 (dollars in thousands):

Interest rate swaps are over the counter securities with no quoted readily available Level 1 inputs, and therefore are measured at fair value using inputs that are directly observable in active markets and are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy, using the income approach.

9. STOCK BASED COMPENSATION

The Company established the 2015 Award and Option Plan (the “2015 Plan”) which replaced the expired 2005 Award and Option Plan for the purpose of attracting and retaining the Company’s executive officers and other key employees, such plans being the “Plans”. There were 561,000 shares authorized for issuance under the 2015 Plan. Options granted under the Plans vest ratably over four and eight years, and must be exercised within ten years from the date of grant. The exercise price for qualified incentive stock options must be at least equal to the fair market value of the common shares at the date of grant. As of December 31, 2018, options for 4,500 shares were outstanding under the Plans and options for 290,659 shares of common stock were available for future issuance. The Company may also grant other stock-based awards under the 2015 Plan, including restricted stock and performance-based awards.

The Company also established the 2009 Outside Directors’ Stock Option and Award Plan (the “Non-employee Plan”) which replaced the 1995 Outside Directors’ Stock Option Plan for the purpose of attracting and retaining the services of experienced and knowledgeable outside directors. Prior to 2016, the Non-employee Plan provided for the initial granting of options to purchase 3,500 shares of common stock and for the annual granting of options to purchase 2,000 shares of common stock to each eligible director. Such options vest over a one-year period for initial awards and immediately upon subsequent grants. The issuance of stock options to directors was discontinued in 2016. In addition, each outside director receives non-vested shares annually equal to 80% of the annual fees paid to them. During the restriction period, the non-vested shares may not be sold, transferred, or otherwise encumbered. The holder of the non-vested shares has all rights of a holder of common shares, including the right to vote and receive dividends. During 2018, 4,183 non-vested shares were issued to outside directors. Such non-vested shares vest over a one-year period. The total shares reserved under the Non-employee Plan is 150,000. The exercise price for options granted under the Non-employee Plan is equal to the fair market value at the date of grant. As of December 31, 2018, options for 18,500 common shares and 4,183 of non-vested shares were outstanding under the Non-employee Plans. As of December 31, 2018 options for 63,688 shares of common stock were available for future issuance.

The intrinsic value of stock options exercised during the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 was $3.5 million and $0.1 million, respectively. There were no options exercised during the year ended December 31, 2016.

Proceeds from stock options exercised during the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 totaled $3.1 million and $0.1 million, respectively.

The aggregate intrinsic value is calculated as the difference between the exercise price of the underlying awards and the quoted price of the Company’s common stock at December 31, 2018, or the price on the date of exercise for those exercised during the year. The weighted average remaining contractual life of all outstanding options, which are all exercisable, is 5.5 years.

Non-vested stock

The Company has also issued shares of non-vested stock to employees which vest over one to nine year periods. During the restriction period, the non-vested shares may not be sold, transferred, or otherwise encumbered. The holder of the non-vested shares has all rights of a holder of common shares, including the right to vote and receive dividends. For issuances of non-vested stock during the year ended December 31, 2018, the fair market value of the non-vested stock on the date of grant ranged from $81.86 to $99.71. During 2018, 31,879 shares of non-vested stock were issued to employees and directors with an aggregate fair value of $3.0 million. The Company charges the fair value ratably to expense over the vesting period. The Company uses the average of the high and low price of its common stock on the date the award is granted as the fair value for non-vested stock awards that do not have a market condition.

Compensation expense of $6.0 million, $7.1 million, and $7.2 million was recognized for the vested portion of non-vested stock grants in 2018, 2017, and 2016, respectively. The fair value of non-vested stock that vested during 2018, 2017, and 2016 was $4.7 million, $5.7 million, and $4.9 million, respectively. The total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock was $7.2 million at December 31, 2018, and the remaining weighted-average period over which this expense will be recognized was 3.9 years.

Performance-based awards

During 2018, 2017 and 2016, the Company granted performance-based awards that entitle the recipients to earn up to 34,760, 48,762 and 37,082 shares, respectively, if certain performance criteria are achieved over a three-year period. The actual number of shares to be issued will be determined at the end of a three year period. No performance-based shares were issued in 2018, 2017, or 2016. The performance-based awards granted are based upon the Company’s performance over a three-year period depending on the Company’s total shareholder return relative to a group of peer companies. Performance based awards are recognized as compensation expense based on the fair value on the date of grant, the number of shares ultimately expected to vest and the vesting period. For accounting purposes, the performance shares are considered to have a market condition. The effect of the market condition is reflected in the grant date fair value of the award and thus, compensation expense is recognized on this type of award provided that the requisite service is rendered (regardless of whether the market condition is achieved). The Company estimated the fair value of each performance-based award granted under the Plans on the date of grant using a Monte Carlo simulation that uses the assumptions noted in Note 2.

During 2018, compensation expense of $2.1 million (included in the $6.0 million discussed above) was recognized for performance awards granted in 2018 and prior. The total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested performance awards was $2.6 million at December 31, 2018 and the weighted-average period over which this expense will be recognized is 2.4 years.

Deferred compensation plan for directors

Under the Deferred Compensation Plan for Directors, non-employee Directors may defer all or part of their Directors’ fees that are otherwise payable in cash. Directors’ fees that are deferred under this plan are credited to each Directors’ account under the plan in the form of Units. The number of Units credited is determined by dividing the amount of Directors’ fees deferred by the closing price of the Company’s Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange on the day immediately preceding the day upon which Directors’ fees otherwise would be paid by the Company. A Director is credited with additional Units for dividends on the shares of Common Stock represented by Units in such Directors’ Account. A Director may elect to receive the shares in a lump sum on a date specified by the Director or in quarterly or annual installments over a specified period and commencing on a specified date. The Directors may not elect to receive cash in lieu of shares. Under this plan there were a total of 22,520 units outstanding at December 31, 2018. Fees that were earned and credited to Directors’ accounts are recorded as compensation expense and totaled $0.1 million in 2016. No fees were elected to be deferred by any non-employee Directors in 2018 or 2017.

10. RETIREMENT PLAN

Employees of the Company qualifying under certain age and service requirements are eligible to be a participant in a 401(k) Plan. The Company contributes to the Plan at the rate of 33% of the first 5% of gross wages that the employee contributes. Total expense to the Company was approximately $769,000, $703,000, and $505,000 for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017, and 2016, respectively.

Based on the facts and circumstances of each of the Company’s joint ventures, the Company has determined that none of the joint ventures are a variable interest entity (VIE) in accordance with ASC 810, Consolidation. As a result, the Company used the voting model under ASC 810 to determine whether or not to consolidate the joint ventures. Based upon each member’s substantive participation rights over the activities as stipulated in the joint venture agreements, none of the joint ventures are consolidated by the Company. Due to the Company’s significant influence over the operations of each of the joint ventures, all joint ventures are accounted for under the equity method of accounting.

The carrying values of the Company’s investments in joint ventures are assessed for other-than-temporary impairment on a periodic basis and no such impairments have been recorded on any of the Company’s investments in joint ventures.

The Company earns management and/or call center fees ranging from 6% to 7% of joint venture gross revenues as manager of HHF, HHF II, 191 III, SERS, HIERS, Urban Box, McDonald, Merrick, RAP and N32.

We have audited Life Storage, Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2018, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework) (the COSO criteria). In our opinion, Life Storage, Inc. (the Parent Company) maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2018, based on the COSO criteria.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheets of the Parent Company as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, shareholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2018, and the related notes and schedule and our report dated February 26, 2019 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Basis for Opinion

The Parent Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Life Storage, Inc. Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Parent Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Parent Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.

Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Item 9B.

Other Information

Additional Federal Tax Considerations

The foregoing supplements, and should be read together with, the general discussion of the tax considerations relating to our qualification as a REIT and the ownership and disposition of our common shares described under the title “Federal Income Tax Considerations” in our prospectus dated June 14, 2018. To the extent any information set forth under the title “Federal Income Tax Considerations” in such prospectus is inconsistent with this supplemental information, this supplemental information will apply and supersede the information in the prospectus. This supplemental information is provided on the same basis and subject to the same qualifications as are set forth in the first three paragraphs under the title “Federal Income Tax Considerations” in such prospectus.

Under the applicable Treasury Regulations and administrative guidance, withholding under Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (“FATCA”) generally applies to payments of dividends on our capital stock. While withholding under FATCA would have applied also to payments of gross proceeds from the sale or other disposition of such stock on or after January 1, 2019, recently proposed Treasury Regulations eliminate FATCA withholding on payments of gross proceeds entirely. Taxpayers generally may rely on these proposed Treasury Regulations until final Treasury Regulations are issued. Because we may not know the extent to which a distribution is a dividend for U.S. federal income tax purposes at the time it is made, for purposes of these withholding rules we may treat the entire distribution as a dividend. Prospective investors should consult their tax advisors regarding the potential application of withholding under FATCA to their investment in our capital stock.
