Marc Oursin, Shurgard Chief Executive Officer, commented(2) :

"Shurgard has delivered another very solid quarterly performance in terms of revenue and earnings growth fueled by our same store achievements.

For the third consecutive quarter of the year, we continue to maintain high occupancy and significant in-place rate increases in particular in the Netherlands, Germany, UK and Belgium. We experience stable demand across Europe versus 2022, both from our residential customers (c. 80%) and business customers (c. 20%). The roll out of our digitalization plan feeds our margin imporvements with an increase of 0.8pp YTD for the same stores.

Meanwhile, the pipeline of future new footage is developing strongly and has reached 14.5% of our total lettable area or 195,000 sqm with €480 million of investment value.

Aside from this very good economic performance, Shurgard has been granted for the third consecutive year the title of ''Self storage industry leader'' by GRESB for ESG matters with a 91 score out of a maximum of 100 and 5 stars.

Overall Shurgard demonstrates its capacity to outperform the industry in Europe and reinforces its leadership with the support of our Board of Directors and engaged teams.''

Operational update (¹)

Compared to the same prior year period, our all-store property operating revenue grew by 9.4% as of year-to-date September 2023, delivering revenue of €265.0 million, and confirming Shurgard's resilience in challenging market conditions. All our markets contributed to that performance, with three countries (Germany, the Netherlands and the UK) delivering double-digit growth. This performance was achieved through our expansion, with eight new stores offering 3.8% additional rentable sqm versus 2022, but also through the strong performance of our same store segment.

Same store revenue in the first three quarters of 2023 grew by 6.2% compared to the prior year, mainly fuelled by an average in-place rent increase of 6.8%, and stable average same store occupancy in the period.

The Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Germany, and Belgium have performed strongly this quarter. As expected, the Nordics (Sweden and Denmark) are going through difficult macro-economic conditions, and we see an highly competitive environment in Sweden.

In France, our largest market, year-to-date 2023 same store revenue grew by 4.5% compared to the same prior year period. This can be attributed to a 5.0% rise in average in-place rent, with a slight increase in occupancy to 89.5%;
The Netherlands continues to perform very well in its same store segment. Revenue increased by 8.9% versus the prior year. Rental rates grew by 8.5% compared to the first nine months of 2022, and average occupancy reached 91.6% (+1.0pp);
The United Kingdom (London) has demonstrated its good performance with a same store revenue growth of 7.5%, fully driven by a strong increase in rental rates (+9.5%), while average occupancy decreased slightly to 87.9% (-0.6pp);
Sweden's revenue for year-to-date 2023 was 0.4% higher than the prior year with a decelerating trend in Q3 (-1.2% Q3 2023 versus prior year quarter). In-place rent increased by 1.7%, while occupancy decreased slightly by 0.8pp, nonetheless remains at a very high level (91.2%);
In Germany, we continue to see the most impressive performance in all our markets, with rental rates 11.8% higher than year-to-date September 2022, and a 0.1pp increase in occupancy (to 91.1%), achieving 12.5% revenue growth compared to the first nine months of 2022;
Belgium's revenue grew 7.9% versus the prior year, supported by a 7.8% increase in rental rates, coupled with all time high occupancy levels (+0.8pp versus the prior year) at 92.4%;
In Denmark (Copenhagen), rental rates rose by 5.5%, partly offset by a 2.3pp occupancy decline (although occupancy still remained high and in line with last quarter at 91.5%) versus the prior year, resulting in revenue growth of 2.4%;
Shurgard's overall same store revenue performance was impacted by a loss on SEK (-9%, or -€3.0 million) and GBP exchange rates (-3% or -€1.2 million).
