National Storage Affiliates Trust Segments Disclosure
Segments
The Company manages the business as one reportable segment consisting of owning and managing self storage properties located in the United States. The Company collects rental revenue from customers for space rentals and related fees. Although the Company has several operating segments consisting of self storage properties in different geographic markets, these operating segments have been aggregated into one reportable segment based on the similar economic characteristics among all markets. The Company considers factors such as the physical and economic characteristics of its properties and the related operating activities in determining its operating segments. Operating segments that exhibit similar physical and economic characteristics and other operating similarities have been aggregated. The company has other operating segments, consisting of activities other than owning and managing self storage properties, that are insignificant based on the guidance set forth in ASC 280, and included under the heading "All Other."
The Company's chief operating decision maker ("CODM") is its President and Chief Executive Officer. The CODM uses net operating income ("NOI") to assess segment performance and allocate resources. NOI is the key measure used by the CODM to evaluate the economic productivity from owning and managing the Company's self storage properties, as it enables the CODM to evaluate the operating performance of the Company's self storage properties on a consistent and comparable basis from period to period.
Reportable segment asset information is not provided to the CODM as the CODM does not use segment asset information to evaluate the business and allocate resources.

About Segments Disclosures
Segment disclosures break a company into its reportable operating units, revealing revenue, profit, and asset allocation that consolidated financial statements obscure. Under ASC 280, segments must match how the chief operating decision maker views the business, providing a window into internal management structure and resource allocation priorities.
Key signals: compare segment margins to identify which units drive profitability and which destroy value. Watch for changes in the number of reportable segments — segment aggregation or disaggregation often coincides with strategic shifts or attempts to obscure declining performance. Intersegment elimination patterns reveal internal pricing practices. The reconciliation between segment totals and consolidated figures exposes corporate overhead allocation and unallocated items. Geographic revenue concentration highlights regulatory and currency exposure. Compare segment-level capital expenditure against segment revenue to assess where management is investing for future growth versus harvesting existing assets.
