PUBLIC STORAGE, INC. Dated: May 8, 2003 By: /s/ Harvey Lenkin ----------------- Harvey Lenkin President Exhibit 99.1 News Release Public Storage, Inc. 701 Western Avenue P.O. Box 25050 Glendale, CA 91221-5050 www.publicstorage.com -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For Release: Immediately Date: May 8, 2003 Contact: Mr. Harvey Lenkin (818) 244-8080 Glendale, California - Harvey Lenkin, President of Public Storage, Inc. (NYSE and PCX:PSA), announced today operating results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2003. Operating Results for the Quarter Ended March 31, 2003: ------------------------------------------------------- Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2003 was $76,639,000 compared to $87,455,000 for the same period in 2002, representing a decrease of $10,816,000 or 12.4%. This decrease in net income is primarily a result of a reduction in our Same Store operating results (as discussed below), increased depreciation expense resulting primarily from new property additions, and a decrease in equity in earnings of real estate entities. The decrease in equity in earnings of real estate entities is primarily due to the reduction in earnings of PS Business Parks, Inc., an unconsolidated affiliate in which we own approximately a 45% interest at March 31, 2003. PS Business Parks, Inc.'s earnings for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 were negatively impacted due to asset impairment charges relating to the impending sale of real estate offset partially by a gain on sale of real estate assets. Our net pro rata share of such items in the quarter ended March 31, 2003 totaled approximately $2,130,000. In addition, during the prior year's quarter ended March 31, 2002, PS Business Parks, Inc. recognized a gain on the sale of real estate of which our pro rata share was approximately $2,241,000. As a result of these items, our equity in earnings for the first quarter of 2003 was negatively impacted a total of $4,371,000 as compared to the first quarter of 2002. Net income allocable to our regular common shareholders was $34,242,000 or $0.27 per common share on a diluted basis (based on 125,232,000 weighted average diluted common equivalent shares) for the three months ended March 31, 2003 compared to $46,240,000 or $0.37 per common share on a diluted basis (based on 124,065,000 weighted average diluted common equivalent shares) for the same period in 2002, representing a decrease of 25.9% in the aggregate or 27.0% on a per share basis. Weighted average diluted shares increased from 124,065,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2002 to 125,232,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2003. This increase was due primarily to the net issuance of 1,091,608 shares during 2002 in connection with the acquisition of the remaining partnership interests in two entities in which the Company held a partial equity interest, as well as the issuance of an aggregate of 1,091,767 shares during 2002 and 2003 in connection with the exercise of employee stock options. This increase was offset partially by the impact of a 965,000 share reduction in the dilutive impact of stock options outstanding due to the exercise of employee stock options as well as an overall decrease in our average stock price, which impacts the weighted average calculation using the treasury stock method. During the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, we allocated $37,022,000 and $35,840,000 of our net income (based on distributions paid), respectively, to our preferred shareholders, representing an increase of 3.3%. This increase is due to the issuance of additional preferred securities throughout 2002, offset partially by the redemption of several series of our higher coupon preferred stock in 2002. In addition, during each of the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, we allocated $5,375,000 of our net income to our Equity Stock, Series A shareholders. Funds from Operations: ---------------------- Funds from operations per common share for the first quarter of 2003 was $0.68 per common equivalent share compared to $0.73 per common equivalent share for the same period in 2002, representing a decrease of 6.8%. The reduction in funds from operations per common share was primarily due to a reduction in our Same Store operating results. Funds from operations is a term defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts by which real estate investment trusts ("REITs") may be compared. Funds from operations is a supplemental disclosure and it is generally defined as net income before depreciation and extraordinary items and, in the case of the Company, does not include gains or losses on the disposition of real estate assets. See the attached reconciliation of net income to funds from operations included in the selected financial data attached to this press release. Property Operations: -------------------- The Company derives substantially all of its revenues from the ownership and management of self-storage facilities. In order to evaluate the performance of the Company's overall self-storage portfolio, management analyzes the operating performance of a consistent group of self-storage facilities. These facilities consist of 1,258 self-storage facilities, representing approximately 89% of the 1,406 self-storage facilities in which the Company has an ownership interest (the 1,258 self-storage facilities herein referred to as the "Same Store" facilities). The Same Store facilities have been operated on a stabilized basis under the "Public Storage" name since January 1, 2000 and include 1,226 facilities which are consolidated by the Company and 32 facilities owned by unconsolidated entities in which the Company has an investment. The following table summarizes the pre-depreciation historical operating results of the Same Store facilities: Selected Operating Data for the Same Store Facilities (1,258 ------------------------------------------------------------- Facilities): ------------ For the three months ended March 31, ------------------------------------ Percentage 2003 2002 Change ---------- ---------- ---------- (Dollar amounts in thousands, except weighted average data) Rental income: Base rental income............................................... $ 180,772 $ 176,112 2.6% Promotional discounts............................................

(b) Square foot occupancies represent weighted average occupancy levels over the entire period. (c) Realized annual rent per occupied square foot is computed by dividing annualized adjusted base rental income by the weighted average occupied square footage for the period. Realized rents per square foot takes into consideration promotional discounts, bad debt costs, credit card fees and other costs which reduce rental income from the contractual amounts due. (d) Annualized revenue per available square foot ("REVPAR") represents annualized adjusted base rental income divided by total available net rentable square feet. (e) In place annual rent per occupied square foot represents contractual rents per occupied square foot without reductions for promotional discounts. (f) Posted annual rent per square foot represents the rents charged to new tenants without reductions for any promotional discounts. During the first quarter of 2003, net operating income for the Same Store facilities decreased 6.7% as compared to the same period in 2002, due to the following: o REVPAR decreased 3.0% from $9.59 per square foot in the first quarter of 2002 to $9.30 for the first quarter of 2003. This was attributable to a 4.5% decrease in realized annual rents per occupied square foot from $11.48 in the first quarter of 2002 to $10.96 for the first quarter of 2003. This decrease is attributable primarily to a significant increase in promotional discounts given to incoming tenants from $1,117,000 for the first quarter of 2002 to $11,069,000 for the first quarter of 2003. The reduction in realized rents was offset partially by a 1.6% increase in weighted average occupancy levels, from 83.6% in the first quarter of 2002 to 84.9% for the first quarter of 2003. o Total operating expenses increased 8.4%. The 8.4% increase in cost of operations is primarily due to increases in payroll, advertising and promotion, property tax and repairs and maintenance costs. Direct property payroll increased 11.8% due primarily to increased incentives to property operating personnel. Advertising and promotion increased 36.7% primarily due to increased television advertising expense, which totaled $1,699,000 in the first quarter of 2003 as compared to $544,000 during the same period in 2002. Repairs and maintenance increased 16.0% primarily due to increased snow removal expenses totaling $513,000. Outlook: -------- We expect to continue promotional discounting and television advertising during the remainder of 2003, though the level of such activities cannot be estimated at this time. The up front costs of these marketing activities, and the increases in discounts, are expected to continue to adversely impact our net operating income during 2003. The following table summarizes additional selected financial data with respect to our Same Store facilities: For the three months ended ------------------------------------------------------ March 31 June 30 Sept. 30 Dec. 31 Full Year ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- Promotional Discounts (in 000's): 2002............................... $1,117 $5,887 $5,157 $7,993 $20,154 2003............................... 11,069 Television advertising expense (in 000's): 2002............................... $ 544 $1,526 $2,152 $4,260 $ 8,482 2003............................... 1,699 REVPAR: 2002............................... $9.59 $9.48 $9.76 $9.34 $9.54 2003............................... $9.30 Weighted average realized annual rent per occupied square foot for the period: 2002............................... $11.48 $10.97 $11.36 $10.98 $11.20 2003............................... $10.96 Weighted average occupancy levels for the period: 2002............................... 83.6% 86.4% 85.9% 85.1% 85.2% 2003............................... 84.9% Weighted average occupancy at April 30, 2002............................... 85.5% 2003............................... 86.7% As indicated in the above table, the weighted average occupancy level for our Same Store facilities was 86.7% at April 30, 2003 as compared to 85.5% at April 30, 2002, representing an increase of 1.4%. This increase, however, has come at a significant cost; as promotional discounts and television advertising cost are expected to be higher in the second quarter of 2003 as compared to the second quarter of 2002. Property Development and Acquisitions: -------------------------------------- During the first quarter of 2003, we opened 5 newly developed self-storage facilities (347,000 net rentable square feet), at a total cost of approximately $33.7 million. At March 31, 2003, there are 40 projects that are in construction or are expected to begin construction generally by September 30, 2003, which includes new developments and expansions to existing self-storage facilities. These 40 projects, which will be fully funded by the Company, have total estimated costs of approximately $169.2 million, of which $75.8 million had been spent through March 31, 2003, with opening dates estimated through the next 12 - 24 months. The development of these facilities is subject to significant contingencies. In addition, the Company has nine parcels of land with a total book value of $17.8 million that the Company is holding for development or sale. No facilities were acquired during the first quarter of 2003. Anticipated Property Dispositions: ---------------------------------- In the first quarter of 2003, management adopted a plan to exit the Knoxville, Tennessee market, a market that the Company does not deem to be strategic. The Company owns four self-storage facilities in this market, and has placed these facilities, with a book value of $6.1 million, for sale. In addition, the Company has listed for sale an industrial facility (book value of $9.3 million) that was previously used by our containerized storage business. In the case of each property, market value exceeds book value. The disposition of these facilities is subject to significant contingencies, however, we expect that any sales would be consummated within the next year. The operating results of these facilities for previous and current periods are reflected in the line item "Discontinued Operations" on the Company's income statement. Containerized Storage Business: ------------------------------- As previously announced, management adopted a business plan in 2002 that included the closure of 22 non-strategic containerized storage facilities (the "Closed Facilities"). As of March 31, 2003, seven of the Closed Facilities remained open, however, they are in the process of closing which may take up to several months to complete. These facilities generated operating losses totaling $97,000 in the first quarter of 2003. We expect that these facilities will continue to generate operating losses during 2003 until final closure. As previously announced, during the first quarter of 2003, we started to reposition the containerized storage product vis-a-vis our self-storage product. In part of this repositioning, we significantly increased rental rates per customer and delivery rates. The ultimate impact of these actions on our containerized storage occupancies, revenues, and net operating income is uncertain at this time. No additional facilities were closed in the first quarter of 2003; however, management continues to evaluate the optimum level of containerized facility operations in each market in which it operates. Redemption of Preferred Equity: ------------------------------- On March 31, 2003, we redeemed all 2,300,000 shares ($57.5 million) of our 9.2% Cumulative Preferred Stock, Series B (NYSE:PSAPrB) at a redemption price of $25.00 per share, plus a sum equal to all accrued and unpaid dividends from January 1, 2003 through the redemption date. Acquisition of Partnership Interests in PS Partners IV, Ltd.: ------------------------------------------------------------- On April 28, 2003 the Company acquired through a merger all of the remaining limited partnership interest not currently owned by the Company in PS Partners IV, Ltd., a partnership which is consolidated with the Company. The acquisition cost consisted of approximately 427,000 shares of Public Storage common stock and approximately $10 million in cash. Distributions Declared: ----------------------- As previously announced, on May 8, 2003, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly distribution of $0.45 per regular common share and $0.6125 per share on the depositary shares each representing 1/1,000 of a share of Equity Stock, Series A. Distributions were also declared with respect to the Company's various series of preferred stock. All of the distributions are payable on June 30, 2003 to shareholders of record as of June 16, 2003. First Quarter Conference Call: ------------------------------ As previously announced, a conference call is scheduled for Friday, May 9, 2003, at 9:00 a.m. (PDT) to discuss these results. The toll free number is (877) 516-1540, the conference ID is 9576129. An instant replay of the conference call will be available through May 16, 2003 at (800) 642-1687 or (706) 645-9291, the conference ID is 9576129. Public Storage, Inc. is a fully integrated, self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust that primarily acquires, develops, owns and operates self-storage facilities. The Company's headquarters is located in Glendale, California. The Company's self-storage properties are located in 37 states. At March 31, 2003 the Company had interests in 1,406 storage facilities.

(b) The decrease in equity in earnings of real estate entities is due primarily to an asset impairment loss recorded by PS Business Parks, Inc. with respect to the impending disposition of real estate assets in the first quarter of 2003 offset partially by a gain on sale of real estate assets. Our net pro rata share of these items is $2,130,000. In addition, PS Business Parks, Inc. recognized a gain on the disposition of real estate in the first quarter of 2002, of which our pro rata share is $2,241,000. (c) The increase in weighted average common shares - basic was due primarily to the net issuance of 1,091,608 shares during 2002 in connection with the acquisition of the remaining partnership interests in two entities in which the Company held a partial equity interest, as well as the issuance of an aggregate of 1,091,767 shares during 2002 and 2003 in connection with the exercise of employee stock options.

It is generally defined as net income before depreciation and extraordinary items. FFO computations do not factor out the REIT's requirement to make either capital expenditures or principal payments on debt. (b) The impact of employee options outstanding has decreased in the three months ended March 31, 2003 as compared to the same period in 2002 due to a decrease in the Company's average stock price (the Company determines the dilutive impact of stock options based upon the treasury stock method), combined with the exercise of employee stock options. (c) FFO per share was negatively affected by dilution relating to the 71 newly developed facilities opened by the Company or the Consolidated Development Joint Venture since January 1, 1999. Based upon an average cost of capital of 8%, this dilution amounted to approximately $0.04 and $0.03 for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. (d) Funds available for distribution ("FAD") is computed by deducting capital expenditures to maintain facilities from FFO. Distribution payout ratio is computed by dividing the quarter's distribution paid by FAD. Public Storage, Inc.

The revenues and cost of operations earned while the Company does not have a controlling ownership interest are not included in the Company's consolidated self-storage rental income and cost of operations. Instead, the Company records its share of the net operating results for these periods in its income statements as "equity in earnings of real estate entities." (b) The Company has entered into a plan to sell four of the Same Store facilities and, accordingly, the net operating results of these facilities is included in the Company's income statements as "discontinued operations." (c) The Company consolidates the operating results of additional self-storage facilities which are not Same Store facilities. Such facilities are not included in the Same Store pool either because they were not stabilized for the entire period from January 1, 1999 through March 31, 2003, or because the Company acquired these facilities from third parties after January 1, 1999.
