Toward this end, the company will continue to execute its strategic business plan, which includes funding acquisitions, either directly or through joint ventures, and expansion projects at its existing properties. The company's board of directors regularly reviews the strategic business plan, with emphasis on capital formation, debt versus equity ratios, dividend policy, use of capital and debt, FFO and AFFO performance, and optimal cash levels.The management of Global Self Storage believes that the company's continued operational performance and capital resources position it well to continue executing its strategic business plan.Management Commentary"In Q1, we delivered one of the strongest same-store revenue growth rates in the sector with the highest same-store occupancy of 93.1% and the highest occupancy growth, and record-level tenant duration of stay of 3.6 years at quarter-end," said CEO and president of Global Self Storage, Mark C. Winmill. "We believe our results were driven in part by our customer service efforts-providing a clean, safe and hassle-free rental process-which continued to attract high quality, long-term tenants. Our customer service efforts also supported performance by strengthening local brand loyalty and generating strong referral and word-of-mouth demand for our storage units and services."Also contributing to our results were our digital marketing initiatives, which focus in part on our outstanding customer reviews. Our customer reviews have continued to demonstrate a high level of tenant satisfaction. In fact, we maintained a record-level average rating exceeding 4.9 out of 5 stars by the end of the quarter, an increase from 4.8 stars at the end of Q1 2025."During the quarter, our competitor move-in rate metrics analysis-which uses internet data scraping and other methods-helped keep our move-in rates competitive, while our proprietary revenue rate management program helped increase existing tenant rates and optimize store occupancy."While we delivered top-line growth and higher occupancy, our store operating expenses increased during the quarter, primarily due to increased employment costs and real estate property taxes. Employment costs rose mainly due to the timing of routine hiring and departures, but looking ahead we expect these costs to return to lower historic levels of growth. Self storage property tax assessments have been increasing industry-wide. However, we are taking steps to appeal reassessments to our properties as they arise, but there is no guarantee that these increased assessments will be reduced."In January, we converted certain student housing space into approximately 2,400 leasable square feet of all-climate-controlled units at our Lima, OH property. Following the conversion, the property totals 763 units and 94,931 leasable square feet. Total area occupancy was approximately 90.6% upon completion of the conversion and then utilizing our professional management techniques we increased the occupancy by 50 basis points to 91.1% at quarter-end."We believe we are well positioned to execute our strategic business plan with a strong balance sheet of approximately $24.5 million in capital resources. This plan includes growth through acquisitions, joint ventures, and expansion in select markets that exhibit limited supply growth and less professional competition."As we look ahead, we believe our targeted marketing strategies and strong commitment to best-in-class customer service will continue to attract high-quality, long-term tenants. We also remain committed to maximizing revenue, driving NOI growth, and delivering increased value to our stockholders over the long term."Q1 2026 Financial SummaryTotal revenues increased 1.5% to $3.2 million in the first quarter of 2026. The increase was primarily attributable to increases in occupancy and existing tenant rates under its proprietary revenue rate management program.Total operating expenses increased 8.3% to $2.6 million compared to $2.4 million in the same year-ago period. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase of store operating expenses and an increase in general and administrative expenses.Operating income decreased 21.0% to $572,000, compared to $724,000 in the same period last year. The decrease was the result of the operating effects noted above.Net income totaled $477,000 or $0.04 per diluted share from $555,000 or $0.05 per diluted share in the same year-ago period.Capital resources as of March 31, 2026, totaled approximately $24.5 million, comprised of $7.4 million in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash and $2.3 million in marketable securities, with $14.8 million available under the company's revolving credit facility.Q1 2026 Same-Store ResultsAs of March 31, 2026, the company owned 12 same-store properties and managed a single third party owned property.

You can also follow Global Self Storage on X, LinkedIn and Facebook.Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Funds from Operations ("FFO") and FFO per share are non-GAAP measures defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") and are considered helpful measures of REIT performance by REITs and many REIT analysts. NAREIT defines FFO as a REIT's net income, excluding gains or losses from sales of property, and adding back real estate depreciation and amortization. The Company also excludes changes in unrealized gains or losses on marketable equity securities. FFO and FFO per share are not a substitute for net income or earnings per share. FFO is not a substitute for GAAP net cash flow in evaluating our liquidity or ability to pay dividends, because it excludes financing activities presented on our statements of cash flows. In addition, other REITs may compute these measures differently, so comparisons among REITs may not be helpful. However, the Company believes that to further understand the performance of its stores, FFO should be considered along with the net income and cash flows reported in accordance with GAAP and as presented in the Company's financial statements.Adjusted FFO ("AFFO") and AFFO per share are non-GAAP measures that represent FFO and FFO per share excluding the effects of stock-based compensation, business development, capital raising, and acquisition related costs and non-recurring items, which we believe are not indicative of the Company's operating results. AFFO and AFFO per share are not a substitute for net income or earnings per share. AFFO is not a substitute for GAAP net cash flow in evaluating our liquidity or ability to pay dividends, because it excludes financing activities presented on our statements of cash flows. We present AFFO because we believe it is a helpful measure in understanding our results of operations insofar as we believe that the items noted above that are included in FFO, but excluded from AFFO, are not indicative of our ongoing operating results. We also believe that the analyst community considers our AFFO (or similar measures using different terminology) when evaluating us. Because other REITs or real estate companies may not compute AFFO in the same manner as we do, and may use different terminology, our computation of AFFO may not be comparable to AFFO reported by other REITs or real estate companies. However, the Company believes that to further understand the performance of its stores, AFFO should be considered along with the net income and cash flows reported in accordance with GAAP and as presented in the Company's financial statements.We believe net operating income or "NOI" is a meaningful measure of operating performance because we utilize NOI in making decisions with respect to, among other things, capital allocations, determining current store values, evaluating store performance, and in comparing period-to-period and market-to-market store operating results. In addition, we believe the investment community utilizes NOI in determining operating performance and real estate values and does not consider depreciation expense because it is based upon historical cost. NOI is defined as net store earnings before general and administrative expenses, interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization.NOI is not a substitute for net income, net operating cash flow, or other related GAAP financial measures, in evaluating our operating results.Same-Store Self Storage Operations Definition
We consider our same-store portfolio to consist of only those stores owned and operated on a stabilized basis at the beginning and at the end of the applicable periods presented. We consider a store to be stabilized once it has achieved an occupancy rate that we believe, based on our assessment of market-specific data, is representative of similar self storage assets in the applicable market for a full year measured as of the most recent January 1 and has not been significantly damaged by natural disaster or undergone significant renovation or expansion. We believe that same-store results are useful to investors in evaluating our performance because they provide information relating to changes in store-level operating performance without taking into account the effects of acquisitions, dispositions, or new ground-up developments. As of March 31, 2026, we owned twelve same-store properties and zero non same-store properties. The Company believes that by providing same-store results from a stabilized pool of stores, with accompanying operating metrics including, but not limited to, variances in occupancy, rental revenue, operating expenses, and NOI, stockholders and potential investors are able to evaluate operating performance without the effects of non-stabilized occupancy levels, rent levels, expense levels, acquisitions, or completed developments. Same-store results should not be used as a basis for future same-store performance or for the performance of the Company's stores as a whole.Cautionary Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements

We have seen and anticipate further gradual improvement of market fundamentals in the form of move-in rate stabilization and muted development of new supply in the markets where we operate."By following our strategic business plan, we are confident that we will continue driving increased value for stockholders through a focus on top-quality tenants, disciplined acquisition strategy, effective expense management, and a strong commitment to excellent customer service."Q4 2025 Financial SummaryTotal revenues decreased 0.9% to $3.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2025.Total operating expenses increased 3.6% to $2.5 million compared to $2.4 million in the same year-ago period.

The increase was primarily due to an increase in revenues.For a reconciliation of net income to same-store NOI see, "Reconciliation of GAAP Net Income to Same-Store Net Operating Income," below.Full Year 2025 Operating ResultsNet income in the full year of 2025 was $2.0 million or $0.18 per diluted share, compared to $2.1 million or $0.19 per diluted share in 2024.Property operations expenses increased to $4.9 million, as compared to $4.7 million in 2024.General and administrative expenses decreased to $3.22 million, as compared to $3.26 million in 2024.Business development costs increased to $22,286, as compared to $3,037 in 2024.Interest expense decreased to $854,000 from $881,000 in 2024.

The company's self-storage properties are designed to offer affordable, easily accessible and secure storage space for residential and commercial customers. Through its wholly owned subsidiaries, the company owns and/or manages 13 self-storage properties in Connecticut, Illinois, Indiana, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, and Oklahoma.For more information, go to ir.globalselfstorage.us or visit the company's customer site at www.globalselfstorage.us. You can also follow Global Self Storage on X, LinkedIn and Facebook.Non-GAAP Financial MeasuresFunds from Operations ("FFO") and FFO per share are non-GAAP measures defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") and are considered helpful measures of REIT performance by REITs and many REIT analysts. NAREIT defines FFO as a REIT's net income, excluding gains or losses from sales of property, and adding back real estate depreciation and amortization. The Company also excludes unrealized gains on marketable equity securities and gains relating to PPP loan forgiveness. FFO and FFO per share are not a substitute for net income or earnings per share. FFO is not a substitute for GAAP net cash flow in evaluating our liquidity or ability to pay dividends because it excludes financing activities presented on our statements of cash flows. In addition, other REITs may compute these measures differently, so comparisons among REITs may not be helpful. However, the Company believes that to further understand the performance of its stores, FFO should be considered along with the net income and cash flows reported in accordance with GAAP and as presented in the Company's financial statements.Adjusted FFO ("AFFO") and AFFO per share are non-GAAP measures that represent FFO and FFO per share excluding the effects of stock-based compensation, business development, capital raising, and acquisition related costs and non-recurring items, which we believe are not indicative of the Company's operating results. AFFO and AFFO per share are not a substitute for net income or earnings per share. AFFO is not a substitute for GAAP net cash flow in evaluating our liquidity or ability to pay dividends because it excludes financing activities presented on our statements of cash flows. We present AFFO because we believe it is a helpful measure in understanding our results of operations insofar as we believe that the items noted above that are included in FFO, but excluded from AFFO, are not indicative of our ongoing operating results. We also believe that the analyst community considers our AFFO (or similar measures using different terminology) when evaluating us. Because other REITs or real estate companies may not compute AFFO in the same manner as we do, and may use different terminology, our computation of AFFO may not be comparable to AFFO reported by other REITs or real estate companies. However, the Company believes that to further understand the performance of its stores, AFFO should be considered along with the net income and cash flows reported in accordance with GAAP and as presented in the Company's financial statements.We believe net operating income or "NOI" is a meaningful measure of operating performance because we utilize NOI in making decisions with respect to, among other things, capital allocations, determining current store values, evaluating store performance, and in comparing period-to-period and market-to-market store operating results. In addition, we believe the investment community utilizes NOI in determining operating performance and real estate values and does not consider depreciation expense because it is based upon historical cost. NOI is defined as net store earnings before general and administrative expenses, interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization.NOI is not a substitute for net income, net operating cash flow, or other related GAAP financial measures in evaluating our operating results.Same-Store Self Storage Operations DefinitionWe consider our same-store portfolio to consist of only those stores owned and operated on a stabilized basis at the beginning and at the end of the applicable periods presented. We consider a store to be stabilized once it has achieved an occupancy rate that we believe, based on our assessment of market-specific data, is representative of similar self storage assets in the applicable market for a full year measured as of the most recent January 1 and has not been significantly damaged by natural disaster or undergone significant renovation or expansion. We believe that same-store results are useful to investors in evaluating our performance because they provide information relating to changes in store-level operating performance without taking into account the effects of acquisitions, dispositions or new ground-up developments. As of December 31, 2025, we owned twelve same-store properties and zero non-same-store properties. The Company believes that by providing same-store results from a stabilized pool of stores, with accompanying operating metrics including, but not limited to, variances in occupancy, rental revenue, operating expenses, NOI, etc., stockholders and potential investors are able to evaluate operating performance without the effects of non-stabilized occupancy levels, rent levels, expense levels, acquisitions or completed developments. Same-store results should not be used as a basis for future same-store performance or for the performance of the Company's stores as a whole.Cautionary Note Regarding Forward Looking StatementsCertain information presented in this press release may contain "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the federal securities laws, including the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
