NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

March 31, 2026

  1. Description of the Business

Public Storage is a Maryland real estate investment trust (“REIT”) engaged in the ownership and operation of self-storage facilities that offer storage spaces for lease, generally on a month-to-month basis, for personal and business use, and other related operations such as tenant reinsurance, merchandise sales, third party management, and lending to third-party self-storage owners, as well as the acquisition and development of additional self-storage space.

We are structured as an umbrella partnership REIT, or UPREIT, under which substantially all of our business is conducted through Public Storage OP, L.P. (“PSA OP”), an operating partnership, and its subsidiaries, including Public Storage Operating Company (“PSOC”). The primary assets of the parent entity, Public Storage, are general partner and limited partner interests in PSA OP, which holds all of the Company’s assets through its ownership of all of the equity interests in PSOC. As a limited partnership, PSA OP is a variable interest entity and is consolidated by Public Storage as its primary beneficiary. As of March 31, 2026, Public Storage owned all of the general partner interests and approximately 99.76% of the limited partnership interests of PSA OP, with the remaining 0.24% of limited partnership interests owned by certain trustees and officers of the Company.

Unless stated otherwise or the context otherwise requires, references to “Public Storage” mean the parent entity, Public Storage, and references to “the Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our” mean collectively Public Storage, PSA OP, PSOC, and those entities/subsidiaries owned or controlled by Public Storage, PSA OP, and PSOC.

At March 31, 2026, we owned interests in 3,176 self-storage facilities (with approximately 229.8 million net rentable square feet) located in 40 states in the United States (“U.S.”) operating under the Public Storage® name, and 1.0 million net rentable square feet of commercial and retail space. In addition, we managed 370 facilities (with approximately 29.0 million net rentable square feet) for third parties at March 31, 2026.

At March 31, 2026, we owned an approximate 35% common equity interest in Shurgard Self Storage Limited (“Shurgard”), a public company traded on the Euronext Brussels under the “SHUR” symbol, which owned 333 self-storage facilities (with approximately 19 million net rentable square feet) located in seven Western European countries, all operating under the Shurgard® name. The shares we owned had a market value of approximately $1.0 billion at March 31, 2026. In recording our share of equity in earnings or loss from Shurgard, we adjust Shurgard’s operating results, which are reported under International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), to conform with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).

  1. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

We have prepared the accompanying interim consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP as set forth in the Accounting Standards Codification of the Financial Accounting Standards Board, and in conformity with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In our opinion, the interim consolidated financial statements presented herein reflect all adjustments, primarily of a normal recurring nature, that are necessary to present fairly the interim consolidated financial statements. Because they do not include all of the disclosures required by GAAP for complete annual financial statements, these interim consolidated financial statements should be read together with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.

Certain amounts previously reported in our March 31, 2025 Statements of Cash Flows have been reclassified to conform to the March 31, 2026 presentation, with respect to the major types of capital expenditures in the cash flows from investing activities section. The reclassifications did not affect the subtotals for cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities.

PUBLIC STORAGE

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

March 31, 2026

Disclosures of the number and square footage of facilities, as well as the number and coverage of tenant reinsurance policies are unaudited and outside the scope of our independent registered public accounting firm’s review of our financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (U.S.).

Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2026.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

There have been no significant changes to the Company's significant accounting policies described in Note 2, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of Part II of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220-40): Expense Disaggregation Disclosures ("ASU 2024-03"), that requires the disclosure of additional information related to certain costs and expenses, including amounts of inventory purchases, employee compensation, and depreciation and amortization included in each income statement line item. The guidance also requires disclosure of the total amount of selling expenses and the entity’s definition selling expenses. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. The guidance may be applied prospectively or retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this update on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

  1. NSA Acquisition

On March 16, 2026, the Company announced that it had entered into a merger agreement (the “Merger”) to acquire National Storage Affiliates Trust (“NSA”), a Maryland real estate investment trust (“NSA”), listed on the New York Stock Exchange, in an all-stock transaction. NSA’s portfolio includes more than 1,000 properties, 69 million rentable square feet, and 550,000 units across 37 states and Puerto Rico. In connection with the Merger, Public Storage and limited partners in NSA’s operating partnership will form a joint venture consisting of certain properties on NSA’s operating platform. The NSA operating partnership unitholders are expected to own approximately 80% of the joint venture at inception, with Public Storage holding the remaining interest. Public Storage will exclusively manage the joint venture portfolio and will earn customary property management, asset management and tenant reinsurance income.

Additionally, the Company expects to provide a $240 million mezzanine loan to the newly formed JV as part of its initial capitalization. At closing, the Company expects to repay NSA’s existing bank debt and senior unsecured notes, while assuming certain existing mortgage debt and preferred equity. The transaction is currently expected to close in the third quarter of 2026, subject to the approval of NSA equity holders and the satisfaction of other customary closing conditions.

  1. Notes Receivable

We offer financing, typically in the form of bridge loans, to third-party self-storage owners for operating properties that we manage. The loans, collateralized by operating self-storage properties, typically have a term of three or four years with two one-year extensions, and have variable interest rates. At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we had notes receivable of $142.5 million and $142.1 million, respectively, with average annual interest rates of 7.9% for both periods. At March 31, 2026, we had unfunded loan commitments of $43.9 million expected to close in the next twelve months, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, none of the notes receivable were in past-due or nonaccrual status and the allowance for expected credit losses was immaterial.

  1. Credit Facility

On June 12, 2023, PSOC entered into an amended revolving credit agreement (the “Credit Facility”), of $1.5 billion maturing on June 12, 2027. We have the option to further extend the maturity date by up to one additional year with additional extension fees up to 0.125% of the extended commitment amount. Amounts drawn on the Credit Facility bear annual interest at rates ranging from SOFR plus 0.65% to SOFR plus 1.40% depending upon our credit rating (SOFR plus 0.70% at March 31, 2026). We are also required to pay a quarterly facility fee ranging from 0.10% per annum to 0.30% per annum depending upon our credit rating (0.10% per annum at March 31, 2026). At March 31, 2026, we had $325.0 million outstanding borrowings under this Credit Facility. We had undrawn standby letters of credit, which reduce our borrowing capacity, totaling $19.4 million at March 31, 2026 ($19.4 million at December 31, 2025). The Credit Facility has various customary restrictive covenants with which we were in compliance at March 31, 2026.

Public Storage has provided a full and unconditional guarantee of PSOC’s obligations under the Credit Facility.

U.S. Dollar Denominated Unsecured Notes

On February 15, 2026, we repaid PSOC’s outstanding $500 million aggregate principal amount of senior notes bearing interest at an annual rate of 0.875% at maturity.

In connection with our public offering of senior notes due July 1, 2030, we entered into three separate interest rate swap agreements, with a combined notional amount of $475 million, which effectively convert the debt’s fixed interest rate to a variable rate (SOFR + 0.92%). The swaps were designated in combination as a fair value hedge of interest rate risk and mature on July 1, 2030. The Company’s hedging relationship is assumed to be perfectly effective. As of March 31, 2026, the fair value of the swaps was a liability position of $3.3 million. There was no impact to earnings for the quarter ended March 31, 2026. The estimated fair values of our swaps are based upon changes in benchmark interest rates related to these notes. Because this methodology includes inputs that are less observable by the public and are not necessarily reflected in active markets, the measurement of the estimated fair values related to these financial instruments is categorized as level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. Additionally, the Company has entered into swaps to hedge interest rate risk related to anticipated issuances of debt, which may include debt related to the Merger. The swaps have a notional amount of approximately $1.0 billion. The fair value of the swaps at March 31, 2026 was a liability position of $5.3 million, recorded in Accrued and Other Liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet and an unrealized loss of $5.3 million was recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2026, reported in Interest and Other Income (Expense) in the Consolidated Statement of Income.

The U.S. Dollar denominated unsecured notes (the “U.S. Dollar Denominated Unsecured Notes”) have various financial covenants with which we were in compliance at March 31, 2026. Included in these covenants are (a) a maximum Debt to Total Assets of 65% (approximately 18% at March 31, 2026) and (b) a minimum ratio of Adjusted EBITDA to Interest Expense of 1.5x (approximately 11x for the trailing twelve months ended March 31, 2026) as well as covenants limiting the amount we can encumber our properties with mortgage debt.

Euro Denominated Unsecured Notes

At March 31, 2026, our Euro denominated unsecured notes (the “Euro Notes”) consisted of four tranches: (i) €500.0 million issued in a public offering on January 24, 2020, (ii) €700.0 million issued in a public offering on September 9, 2021, (iii) €150.0 million issued to institutional investors on April 11, 2024, and (iv) €425.0 million issued in a public offering on October 3, 2025. The Euro Notes have financial covenants similar to those of the U.S. Dollar Denominated Unsecured Notes.

We reflect changes in the U.S. Dollar equivalent of the amount payable including the associated interest, as a result of changes in foreign exchange rates as “Foreign currency exchange gain (loss)” on our income statement (gains of $41.9 million and losses of $69.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively).

Mortgage Notes

We assumed our non-recourse mortgage debt in connection with property acquisitions, and we recorded such debt at fair value with any premium or discount to the stated note balance amortized using the effective interest method.

At March 31, 2026, the related contractual interest rates of our mortgage notes are fixed, ranging between 3.9% and 7.1%, and mature between September 1, 2028 and July 1, 2030.

  1. Noncontrolling Interests

There are noncontrolling interests related to subsidiaries of PSOC we consolidate of which we do not own 100% of the equity. At March 31, 2026, certain of these subsidiaries have issued 470,398 partnership units to third-parties that are redeemable by the holders on a one-for-one basis for common shares of the Company or cash at our option.

Noncontrolling interests also include the partnership interests of PSA OP not owned by the Company, including OP Units and vested LTIP units from equity awards we issue to certain officers and trustees of the Company. Vested LTIP units (subject to certain conditions) may be converted into the same number of OP Units of PSA OP, which are redeemable by the holders on a one-for-one basis for common shares of the Company or cash at our option. The holders of OP Units and vested LTIP units are entitled to receive per-unit cash distributions equal to the per-share dividends received by our common shareholders. At March 31, 2026, approximately 0.24% of the partnership interests of PSA OP, were not owned by the Company. We adjust the balance of noncontrolling interests of PSA OP to reflect their proportionate share of the net assets of PSA OP as of the end of each period.

The holders of our Preferred Shares have general preference rights with respect to liquidation, quarterly distributions, and any accumulated unpaid distributions. Except as noted below, holders of the Preferred Shares do not have voting rights. In the event of a cumulative arrearage equal to six quarterly dividends, holders of all outstanding series of preferred shares (voting as a single class without regard to series) will have the right to elect two additional members to serve on our Board of Trustees (our “Board”) until the arrearage has been cured. At March 31, 2026, there were no dividends in arrears. The affirmative vote of at least 66.67% of the outstanding shares of a series of Preferred Shares is required for any material and adverse amendment to the terms of such series. The affirmative vote of at least 66.67% of the outstanding shares of all of our Preferred Shares, voting as a single class, is required to issue shares ranking senior to our Preferred Shares.

Except under certain conditions relating to the Company’s qualification as a REIT, the Preferred Shares are not redeemable prior to the dates indicated on the table above. On or after the respective dates, each of the series of Preferred Shares is redeemable at our option, in whole or in part, at $25.00 per depositary share, plus accrued and unpaid dividends. Holders of the Preferred Shares cannot require us to redeem such shares.

Upon issuance of our Preferred Shares, we classify the liquidation value as preferred equity on our consolidated balance sheet with any issuance costs recorded as a reduction to Paid-in capital.

  1. Related Party Transactions

At March 31, 2026, Tamara Hughes Gustavson, a current member of our Board, held less than a 0.1% equity interest in, and is a manager of, a limited liability company that owns 68 self-storage facilities in Canada. Two of Ms. Gustavson’s adult children own the remaining equity interest in the limited liability company. These facilities operate under the Public Storage® tradename, which we license to the owners of these facilities for use in Canada on a royalty-free, non-exclusive basis. We have no ownership interest in these facilities, and we do not own or operate any facilities in Canada. If we chose to acquire or develop our own facilities in Canada, we would have to share the use of the Public Storage® name in Canada. We have a right of first refusal, subject to limitations, to acquire the stock or assets of the corporation engaged in the operation of these facilities if their owners agree to sell them. Our subsidiaries reinsure risks relating to loss of goods stored by customers in these facilities, and have received premium payments of approximately $0.5 million for each of the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.

Throughout all periods presented, we had an approximate 35% equity interest in Shurgard. During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, we received $1.3 million and $1.2 million, respectively, of trademark license fees that Shurgard pays to us for the use of the Shurgard® trademark. We eliminated $0.5 million and $0.4 million of intra-entity profits and losses for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, representing our equity share of the trademark license fees. We classify the remaining license fees we receive from Shurgard as interest and other income (expense) on our Consolidated Statements of Income.

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, we entered into agreements to sell non-qualified options (“OP Options”) to purchase common units of the Operating Partnership to two members of our Board, Shankh S. Mitra and Ronald L. Havner, for an aggregate purchase price of $25.0 million and $5.0 million, respectively. The purchase price was based on the Company’s determination of the fair value of the OP Options using a Monte Carlo Valuation simulation prepared by a third-party valuation firm. The OP Options have an exercise price of $350 per unit, will become exercisable on February 20, 2032, and have a 10-year term.

As of March 31, 2026, there was $115 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to share-based compensation arrangements. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of four years.

  1. Net Income per Common Share

We allocate net income to (i) noncontrolling interests based upon their contractual rights in the respective subsidiaries or for participating noncontrolling interests based upon their participation in both distributed and undistributed earnings of the Company, (ii) preferred shareholders, for distributions paid or payable, (iii) preferred shareholders, to the extent redemption cost exceeds the related original net issuance proceeds (a “preferred share redemption charge”), and (iv) RSUs and unvested LTIP units, for non-forfeitable dividends and distributions paid and adjusted for participation rights in undistributed earnings of the Company.

We calculate basic and diluted net income per common share based upon net income allocable to common shareholders, divided by (i) weighted average common shares for basic net income per common share, and (ii) weighted average common shares adjusted for the impact of dilutive stock options, OP Options and AO LTIP units outstanding for diluted net income per common share. Stock options, OP Options and AO LTIP units equivalent to 1,744,122 common shares were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to 524,239 common shares for the same period in 2025, because their effect would have been antidilutive.

  1. Segment Information

Our operating segments reflect the significant components of our operations where discrete financial information is evaluated separately by our Chief Executive Officer, who is our chief operating decision maker (“CODM”). Segment asset information is not used by the CODM to assess performance or allocate resources.

Self-Storage Operations

The Self-Storage Operations reportable segment reflects the aggregated rental operations from the self-storage facilities we own through the following operating segments: (i) Same Store Facilities, (ii) Acquired Facilities, (iii) Newly Developed and Expanded Facilities, and (iv) Other Non-Same Store Facilities. Our CODM evaluates performance and allocates resources for the Self-Storage Operations reportable segment based on its Net Operating Income (“NOI”), which represents the related revenue less cost of operations. Our CODM utilizes NOI during the budget and forecasting process to allocate capital and personnel resources and evaluates financial performance and operating trends of the reportable segment based on the budget-to-actual variance and year-over-year change of the NOI on an ongoing basis.

The presentation in the table below sets forth the revenue, significant expense categories, and NOI of this reportable segment, as well as the related depreciation expense. For all periods presented, substantially all of our real estate facilities, goodwill and other intangible assets, other assets, and accrued and other liabilities are associated with the Self-Storage Operations reportable segment.

  1. Commitments and Contingencies

Contingent Losses

We are a party to various legal proceedings and subject to various claims and complaints; however, we believe that the likelihood of these contingencies resulting in a material loss to the Company, either individually or in the aggregate, is remote.

Insurance and Loss Exposure

We maintain comprehensive property and casualty insurance policies which include coverage for earthquake, rental loss, general liability, umbrella liability, management liability, employee medical insurance and workers compensation coverage through internationally recognized and highly rated insurance carriers, subject to deductibles.

We reinsure a program that provides insurance to our customers from an independent third-party insurer. This program covers customer claims for losses to goods stored at our facilities as a result of specific named perils (earthquakes are not covered by this program), up to a maximum limit of $5,000 per storage unit. We reinsure all risks in this program, but purchase excess insurance to cover this exposure for a limit of $15.0 million for losses in excess of $10.0 million per occurrence. We are subject to licensing requirements and regulations in all states. Customers participate in the program at their option. At March 31, 2026, there were approximately 1.5 million certificates held by self-storage customers under the program, representing aggregate coverage of approximately $7.3 billion.

  1. Corporate Transformation Costs

In 2025, we launched a corporate transformation initiative focused on modernization and growth. This includes streamlining our processes through technology and shifting our geographic footprint with a stronger corporate presence in offshore locations and relocation of our principal executive office from California to Texas. The initiative is intended to transform our corporate functions, improving efficiency and productivity.

Corporate transformation costs of approximately $2.7 million and $0.8 million were incurred for three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
