SmartStop (SMA) Q2 Revenue Jumps 13%
SmartStop Self Storage REIT (NYSE:SMA), a major owner and operator of self-storage facilities across the U.S. and Canada, reported its first earnings as a publicly traded real estate investment trust on August 6, 2025, covering results for the second quarter. The company reported total revenues of $66.8 million, exceeding consensus GAAP estimates of $56.8329 million and increasing 12.9% over the prior year. Its adjusted funds from operations (FFO)—a critical measure for assessing financial performance in REITs—came in at $0.42 per diluted share and OP unit. While total growth was robust, the company’s underlying same-store results reflected some softness, with net operating income slipping 1.1% despite an uptick in occupancy. Overall, the quarter highlighted operational progress, successful execution of strategic transactions, and a strong capital position post-IPO.
