Operating Results

Total revenues increased $16.0 million and total property operating expenses increased $4.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2012, as compared with the same period in 2011. Increases in total revenues are primarily attributable to increased occupancy levels in the same-store portfolio and revenues generated from property acquisitions. Increases in total property operating expenses are attributable to the impact of newly acquired properties and an increase in same-store expenses, which was largely driven by increased advertising costs.

Interest expense increased from $8.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2011 to $11.0 million in the current period due to a higher amount of outstanding debt, primarily resulting from debt assumed and drawn in conjunction with the Storage Deluxe and other acquisitions and offset by lower interest rates on the Credit Facility in the 2012 period as compared with the 2011 period.
