Article-Shurgard Self Storage Releases Second-Quarter 2021 Earnings Report

Update 8/24/21 – Shurgard has released financial results for the quarter that ended June 30. In general, the company showed gains in key areas, particularly in operating revenue and net operating income (NOI), according to a press release.

Highlights include an operating-revenue growth at constant exchange rate (CER) of 8.4% for the second quarter. Same-store revenue grew 6.2% using CER. All stores’ NOI increased 9.1%. Same-store NOI margin grew .7% to 67.1%. Adjusted earnings on the European Public Real Estate Association Index were €36 million for the quarter, up 15.3% using CER.

Of the seven European markets in which Shurgard operates, the United Kingdom showed the largest same-store, year-over-year revenue gain at 10.9% using CER. The Netherlands was second at 7.8%, followed by Denmark at 7.6%. Same-store locations in Germany and France performed the weakest, with revenue up 2.8% and 3.3%, respectively.

Shurgard has 12 development projects scheduled to open this year and another seven slated for 2022. Spread across France, Germany, the Netherlands and the U.K., the projects will add approximately 80,200 square meters to the company’s portfolio.

“The strong results are in comparison to the lockdown-affected growth of last year, but were additionally underscored by a very active property market, which has spurred demand and occupancy,” said CEO Marc Oursin. “People are finally feeling able to make the life decisions that had been put on hold last year, and the result is rising demand for storage. Growth accelerated from the first to the second quarter, and we ended the first half of 2021 with demand even ahead of 2019, before the pandemic changed the social and economic landscape.”
