National Storage Affiliates Trust experienced a challenging second quarter in 2025, with net income decreasing by 4.1% to $31.0 million and diluted EPS rising to $0.19. Core FFO per share declined by 11.3% to $0.55, largely due to a 6.1% decrease in same store net operating income, driven by lower revenues and higher operating expenses. The company noted ongoing softness in storage demand and increased use of concessions impacting results, but also highlighted sequential improvements in contract rate and occupancy.
Net income for Q2 2025 was $30.958 million, a 4.1% decrease compared to Q2 2024.
Diluted earnings per share increased to $0.19 in Q2 2025 from $0.16 in Q2 2024.
Same store net operating income (NOI) decreased by 6.1% in Q2 2025, primarily due to a 3.0% decrease in same store total revenues and a 4.6% increase in same store property operating expenses.
Same store period-end occupancy was 85.0% as of June 30, 2025, a decrease of 220 basis points year-over-year.
National Storage Affiliates Trust has revised its full-year 2025 Core FFO guidance downwards, primarily due to lower same store growth assumptions. The company now expects Core FFO per share to be between $2.17 and $2.23, compared to the prior range of $2.30 to $2.38.
