The earnings call reflects a cautiously optimistic outlook. While there are positive trends in narrowing occupancy gaps and improvements in rental rates, significant challenges persist, including a decline in NOI and expense pressures. The company has shown strength in strategic acquisitions and maintaining a strong dividend yield, yet remains cautious about the macroeconomic environment and its impact on future growth.
Company Guidance
During CubeSmart's fourth quarter 2024 earnings call, guidance for 2025 was cautiously optimistic, with several key metrics highlighted. The company observed a narrowing year-over-year same-store occupancy gap from 100 basis points negative at the end of 2024 to 50 basis points negative by February 2025. Rents for new customer rentals improved their year-over-year gap from negative 10.3% in the fourth quarter to averaging negative 7.4% recently. Same-store NOI declined by 3.7% in the fourth quarter, while same-store revenue growth was negative 1.6%. For 2025, the company expects same-store NOI to decline by 3% at the midpoint of its guidance. Additionally, CubeSmart reported FFO per share as adjusted of $0.68 for the quarter and announced a 2% increase in its quarterly dividend to an annualized $2.08 per share. The company also completed notable acquisitions, including an 85% interest in a 14-store portfolio in the Dallas MSA and the remaining 80% interest in a joint venture known as HBP4, with a total consideration of $452.8 million for the latter. The guidance assumes a continued gradual improvement in key metrics, with no significant catalysts expected to sharply reaccelerate organic growth in 2025.
