SmartStop Self Storage REIT, Inc. is a self-managed and fully-integrated real estate investment trust specializing in self-storage facilities across the United States and Canada. The company operates in the real estate sector, focusing on providing storage solutions for individuals and businesses.
In its second quarter of 2025, SmartStop Self Storage REIT, Inc. reported a successful performance as a newly public company, highlighted by significant capital raises and strategic deployments. The company raised over $1.3 billion, which was utilized to improve its balance sheet and fund growth initiatives, including property acquisitions.
Key financial metrics for the quarter included a net loss of $8.4 million attributable to common stockholders, despite an increase in self-storage-related revenues to $60.9 million. The funds from operations (FFO), as adjusted, rose to $24.4 million, reflecting a $12 million increase from the previous year. However, same-store net operating income saw a slight decline due to increased operating expenses.
Strategically, SmartStop completed an underwritten public offering, generating net proceeds of $875.6 million, which were used to redeem preferred stock and pay down debt. The company also expanded its portfolio with acquisitions in Canada and the U.S., and strengthened its board with the addition of Lora Gotcheva.
Looking forward, SmartStop remains optimistic about its growth prospects, maintaining its full-year 2025 guidance for net operating income and increasing its FFO guidance. The company continues to focus on strategic acquisitions and operational efficiency to drive future performance.
