CUBESMART ANNUAL REPORT | 2025
LETTER FROM
THE CEO
2025 was a year defined by disciplined execution at CubeSmart. The self
storage operating environment stabilized, following years of normalization off
the unprecedented growth of 2020 - 2022. Our strategy centered on operational
excellence, thoughtful capital allocation, and a high
- quality portfolio continues
to differentiate CubeSmart within the sector and drive long
- term performance.
As we reflect on the past year, I am proud of our team s ability to remain
focused on delivering strong results and create long
- term value for our
shareholders.

Quality Platform
Our portfolio s industry - leading demographics drove performance in 2025, as our
core urban markets outperformed secondary markets across the sunbelt. New
York City continued to showcase its stability, generating same
- store revenue
growth at the top of the portfolio. Late in the year, we saw an inflection across
many of our markets as lessening headwinds from new supply helped to drive
improving same - store revenue growth in the fourth quarter in 76% of our top 25
markets. Our focus on managing expenses continued to bear fruit, as we were
able to post sector - leading same - store expense control.

Quality Portfolio
We remain disciplined in our approach to external growth as our focus remains on
finding accretive opportunities to enhance our industry - leading portfolio. During
2025, we completed the acquisition of our partner s 80% interest in the HVP IV joint
venture for $452.8 million, consolidating ownership of high
- quality portfolio of 28
newer vintage stores across our core markets. In addition, we acquired two wholly
owned stores for $49.0 million and opened one newly developed store in the New
York MSA for $18.1 million. Alongside our investment activity, we continued to
successfully add stores to our third - party management platform, adding 136 new
stores in 2025, marking the ninth consecutive year adding over 130 stores.
As the disconnect between public and private markets grew in late 2025, we
executed on our share repurchase program for the first time, repurchasing 0.9
million shares for $31.9 million. These repurchases reflect our disciplined capital
allocation framework deploying capital where we see the most compelling risk
adjusted returns and reinforcing our commitment to creating long
- term
shareholder value.
