Results reflect a year-over-year rise in revenues due to growth in occupancy. However, high same-store expenses and interest expenses during the quarter were a spoilsport. Amid this, the stock is down around 3% in the pre-market trading hours.
Quarterly revenues of $841.6 million surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $835.8 million. The top line increased 3.8% year over year.
EXR’s Second Quarter in Detail
Same-store revenues remained mostly flat year over year at $665.6 million. Same-store operating expenses rose 8.6% to $191.4 million, reflecting an increase in overall expenses year over year. As a result, same-store net operating income (NOI) decreased 3.1% year over year to $474.2 million.

2025 Guidance Revised by EXR
Extra Space Storage has narrowed its range for 2025 core FFO per share, keeping the midpoint constant. The company now expects the same to be in the range of $8.05-$8.25 from the earlier guided range of $8.00-$8.30. The Zacks Consensus Estimate of $8.18 lies within this range.
The full-year guidance is based on the assumption of negative 0.50% to 1.00% growth in same-store revenues and a 4.00%-5.00% increase in same-store expenses. Same-store NOI is projected within a negative 2.75% to flat growth.
Digital Realty Trust (DLR - Free Report) reported second-quarter 2025 core FFO per share of $1.87, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.74. FFO also increased 13.3% year over year.
Results reflected steady leasing momentum with better rental rates amid rising demand. DLR raised its 2025 core FFO guidance range.
Alexandria Real Estate Equities, Inc. (ARE - Free Report) reported second-quarter 2025 AFFO per share of $2.33, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $2.29. This compares unfavorably to the AFFO of $2.36 reported in the prior year.
Results reflected decent leasing activity and rental rate growth. However, lower occupancy and higher interest expenses year over year undermined the results to some extent.
Note: Anything related to earnings presented in this write-up represents funds from operations (FFO), a widely used metric to gauge the performance of REITs.
