Allocating Purchase Price for Acquired Real Estate Facilities: We estimate the fair values of the assets and liabilities of acquired real estate facilities, which consist principally of land, buildings and acquired customers in place, for purposes of allocating the aggregate purchase price of acquired real estate facilities. We estimate the fair value of land based upon price per square foot derived from observable transactions involving comparable land in similar locations as adjusted for location quality, parcel size, and date of sale associated with the acquired facilities. The fair value estimate of land is sensitive to the adjustments made to the land market transactions used in the estimate, particularly when there is a lack of recent comparable land market data. We estimate the fair value of buildings primarily using the income approach by estimating the fair value of hypothetical vacant acquired facilities and adjusting for the estimated fair value of land. The fair value estimate of buildings is sensitive to assumptions, such as lease-up period, future stabilized operating cash flows, capitalization rate and discount rate. We estimate the fair value of acquired customers in place using the income approach by estimating the foregone rent over the presumed period of time to absorb the occupied spaces as if they were vacant at the time of acquisition. The fair value estimate of the acquired customers in place is sensitive to the assumptions used in the income approach, such as market rent, lease-up period and discount rate. Others could come to materially different conclusions as to the estimated fair values of land, buildings and acquired customers in place, which would result in different depreciation and amortization expense, gains and losses on sale of real estate assets, as well as the level of land and buildings on our consolidated balance sheet.

We recently announced leadership changes, including a change in our Chairman of the Board, our President and Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer. Although these changes were made pursuant to the Board’s succession planning efforts, there is no guarantee that the transition to new leadership will be executed successfully. Failure to successfully implement these successions may result in disruptions in the execution of our strategic plan. Failure to successfully implement future succession plans for other key employees may leave us vulnerable to retirements and turnover.

Although we conduct due diligence and aim to carefully evaluate the risks associated with this debt and other investments, we could incur losses from our lending decisions, which includes subjective and complex judgments and forecasts of economic conditions and how these economic predictions might impair the ability of our borrowers to operate their business and/or make all required payments. For example, volatility of the capital and credit markets, increased interest rates, lower demand for self-storage and general economic conditions may adversely affect the solvency, creditworthiness or operations of our borrowers. If our forecasts prove incorrect, or if any of our borrowers fail to perform as expected, we may incur losses from these bridge loans which could have a material adverse effect on our operating revenue and results of operations.

We expect industry-wide demand from new tenants in 2026 to be similar to 2025, across a diverse set of markets, subject to potential adverse effects from evolving political and macroeconomic uncertainty, including changes in trade policy and new tariffs, pricing restrictions and microeconomic uncertainty. As a result, we expect Same Store Facilities revenues in 2026 to be modestly below those earned in 2025.

Effective July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) was signed into law. Certain provisions of OBBBA impact us and our shareholders. Among other changes, this legislation (i) permanently extended the 20% deduction for “qualified REIT dividends” for individuals and other non-corporate taxpayers under Section 199A of the Internal Revenue Code (“the Code”), (ii) permanently reinstates 100% bonus depreciation for certain property acquired after January 19, 2025, (iii) increased the percentage limit under the REIT asset test applicable to taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRSs”) from 20% to 25% for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2025, and (iv) increases the base on which the 30% interest deduction limit under Section 163(j) of the Code applies by excluding depreciation, amortization and depletion from the definition of “adjusted taxable income” (i.e. based on EBITDA rather than EBIT) for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2024.
