TORONTO, July 22, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- STORAGEVAULT CANADA INC.(" StorageVault" or the " Corporation") ( SVI-TSX) reports the Corporation's Q2 2026 results. Iqbal Khan, Chief Financial Officer, commented:
"StorageVault delivered a strong Q2 and first half, with year to date revenue up 10.3%, NOI up 9.7%, and AFFO per share increasing 8.8%. These results were underpinned by our 45th consecutive quarter of positive same store revenue, NOI, and AFFO growth, continuing to outperform our North American peers. Our consistent operating performance, disciplined acquisition strategy, and ongoing expansion of new storage space demonstrate the strength of our platform and the value it creates. Following another solid quarter, we are well positioned to build on this momentum through the balance of the year."
2026 Second Quarter Results
For the second quarter of 2026, revenue increased to $91.1 million from $83.5 million in Q2 2025 and NOI, a non-IFRS measure, grew to $60.3 million from $55.2 million. Our cash flow from operations increased year over year and when combined with our financing and investing activities resulted in a cash balance of $19.2 million at the end of the quarter. The Q2 2026 net loss of $6.6 million (net loss of $6.2 million for Q2 2025) is impacted by the following non-cash and non-recurring items – $29.8 million of depreciation and amortization, $1.2 million of interest accretion on convertible debentures, $0.2 million of realized and unrealized gain on derivative financial instruments, and deferred tax recovery of $1.3 million.
Revenue and NOI from Existing Self Storage stores increased by 3.9% and 5.1%, compared to the same period last year. Funds from operations (" FFO"), a non-IFRS measure, were $22.9 million for Q2 2026 compared to $20.3 million in Q2 2025, a 12.8% increase year over year.

Non-IFRS Financial Measures
Management uses both IFRS and non-IFRS Measures to assess the financial and operating performance of the Corporation's operations. These non-IFRS Measures are not recognized measures under IFRS, do not have a standardized meaning under IFRS and are unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. The non-IFRS Measures referenced in this news release include the following:
-
Net Operating Income (" NOI") – NOI is defined as storage and related services revenue less operating costs. NOI does not include interest expense or income, depreciation and amortization, selling, general and administrative costs, acquisition and integration costs, stock based compensation costs, realized and unrealized gains or losses on real estate, realized and unrealized gains or losses on derivative financial instruments or taxes. NOI assists management in assessing profitability and valuation from principal business activities.
-
Funds from Operations (" FFO") – FFO is defined as net income or loss plus depreciation and amortization, realized gains or losses on real estate, realized and unrealized gains or losses on interest rate swaps, interest accretion on convertible debentures, realized and unrealized gains or losses on derivative financial instruments, stock based compensation expenses, and deferred income taxes; and after adjustments for equity accounted entities and non-controlling interests. FFO should not be viewed as an alternative to cash from operating activities, net income, or other measures calculated in accordance with IFRS. The Corporation believes that FFO can be a beneficial measure, when combined with primary IFRS measures, to assist in the evaluation of the Corporation's ability to generate cash and evaluate its return on investments as it excludes the effects of real estate amortization and gains and losses from the sale of real estate, all of which are based on historical cost accounting and which may be of limited significance in evaluating current performance.
-
Adjusted Funds from Operations (" AFFO") – AFFO is defined as FFO plus acquisition and integration costs. Acquisition and integration costs are one time in nature to the specific assets purchased in the current period or pending and are expensed under IFRS.
-
Existing Self Storage – means stabilized, both physically and economically, stores that StorageVault has owned or leased at least since the beginning of the previous fiscal year. Existing Self Storage is also referred to as "same store", and commencing in fiscal 2026, Existing Self Storage represents 11,545,239 square feet or 210 stores.
NOI, FFO, AFFO and Existing Self Storage, should not be viewed as an alternative to, in isolation from, or superior to, net income or cash flow from operations, or results from StorageVault's comprehensive operations, respectively, or other measures calculated in accordance with IFRS. NOI, FFO and AFFO should not be interpreted as an indicator of cash generated from operating activities and is not indicative of cash available to fund operating expenditures, or for the payment of cash distributions. Existing Self Storage should not be considered a measure of StorageVault's comprehensive operations. NOI, FFO, AFFO and Existing Self Storage are simply additional measures of operating performance which highlight trends in StorageVault's core business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on IFRS financial measures. StorageVault's management also uses these non-IFRS measures in order to facilitate operating performance comparisons from period to period and to prepare operating budgets. In addition, the Corporation's definitions of NOI, FFO, AFFO and Existing Self Storage may differ from that of other issuers.
