Of the total rentable square feet, parking represented approximately 199,780 and 247,900 square feet as of June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. On a same-store basis, for the same periods, parking represented approximately 43,000 square feet.

(4)

 

Determined by dividing the sum of the month-end occupied square feet for the applicable group of facilities for each applicable period by the sum of their month-end rentable square feet for the period.

(5)

 

Determined by dividing the aggregate realized rental income for each applicable period by the aggregate of the month-end occupied square feet for the period. Properties are included in the respective calculations in their first full month of operations, as appropriate. We have excluded the realized rental revenue and occupied square feet related to parking herein for the purpose of calculating annualized rent per occupied square foot.

Our increase in same-store revenue of approximately $0.2 million was primarily the result of decreased average physical occupancy of approximately 0.7% and an increase in revenue per occupied square foot of approximately 4.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2025 over the three months ended June 30, 2024.

Our same-store property operating expenses decreased by approximately $15,000 or 1.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024.

Net Operating Income (“NOI”)

NOI is a non-GAAP measure that SST VI defines as net income (loss), computed in accordance with GAAP, generated from properties, before corporate general and administrative expenses, asset management fees, interest expense, depreciation, amortization, acquisition expenses and other non-property related expenses. SST VI believes that NOI is useful for investors as it provides a measure of the operating performance of its operating assets because NOI excludes certain items that are not associated with the ongoing operation of the properties. Additionally, SST VI believes that NOI is a widely accepted measure of comparative operating performance in the real estate community. However, SST VI’s use of the term NOI may not be comparable to that of other real estate companies as they may have different methodologies for computing this amount.

The following table presents a reconciliation of net loss as presented on our consolidated statements of operations to NOI, as stated above, for the periods indicated:
