The company added 66 storage locations (5.3 million net rentable sq ft) and has ~5.5 million sq ft under development across 99 projects.
Product Expansion and Operational Initiatives
Company rolled out toy-hauler trailers and expanded U-Box capacity; U-Box activity (moves and boxes in storage) is up and the company consolidated U-Box warehousing to increase storage/shipping efficiency (added ~49 warehouses >500-box capacity and increased container warehouse capacity by ~52,000 boxes).
Intentional Capital Allocation Shift to Improve Returns
Management signaled a pause in truck fleet growth for the coming year (no planned truck fleet growth) and expects lower net equipment purchases (~$560 million decrease projected next fiscal year), freeing capital for the share buyback and to improve returns on existing assets.
