Moody's affirms Life Storage's Baa2 rating; stable outlook

www.moodys.com/research/...hbnNsYXRpb25z%7e20190321_PR_396175

The ratings reflect Life Storage's strong financial flexibility and increased scale. The Baa2 rating also benefits from the REIT's solid fixed charge coverage against a backdrop of increasing supply in some of the company's largest markets.

LSI's growth in the last few years has resulted in a more attractive and diversified portfolio in our view. While the REIT still has concentration in secondary markets (Texas and Florida representing its largest exposures), the company has strengthened its portfolio by adding assets in higher growth West coast markets, a credit positive. This has translated to better operating trends with same-store NOI growth up 4.1% for year-end. LSI's same-store NOI is expected to moderate in 2019 as supply continues to weigh on the portfolio but the REIT's strong fixed charge coverage offers ample credit protection at 4.6x as of YE18.

Modest levels of leverage continue to support LSI's conservative balance sheet as measured by effective leverage and net debt to EBITDA at 37.3% and 5.2x, respectively, at YE18. The REIT should meet its capital needs and near-term obligations with relative ease given the availability on its $500 million unsecured revolver ($91 million outstanding as of YE18). The REIT has no debt maturing until 2020 when its $100 million term note comes due. The company's liquidity position is also bolstered by its portfolio that is essentially unencumbered.

Revenues for the 538 stabilized stores wholly-owned by the Company since December 31, 2017 increased 2.4% from the first quarter of 2018, the result of a 3.5% increase in rental rates, partially offset by a 110 basis point decrease in average occupancy. Due to the transition of the Company’s tenant insurance program from a third-party product to a captive solution, insurance revenue has been removed from the same store financial results. The transition occurred on April 1, 2019; however, the first quarter supplemental disclosure and 2019 earnings guidance follow this methodology.

Same store operating expenses increased 2.3% for the first quarter of 2019 compared to the prior year period, the result of increased real estate taxes and repair and maintenance costs. Accordingly, same store NOI this period increased 2.5% over the first quarter of 2018.

General and administrative expenses increased by approximately $0.3 million over the same period in 2018.

During the first quarter of 2019, the Company experienced same store revenue growth in 28 of its 33 major markets. Overall, the markets with the strongest revenue impact include New York-Newark-New Jersey, Las Vegas, Chicago, New England, Buffalo and Sacramento.
