StorageVault currently has $15.9 million in cash and is expanding its quarterly dividend by 0.5 per cent to $0.002693 per common share.
CEO of StorageVault Iqbal Khan said, despite the impacts of COVID-19, the company still achieved a three per cent year on year increase in same store revenue.
“Our results were muted due to reduced rental activity in a period in which h we would normally see a surge in activity due to the seasonal nature of our business.
“Furthermore, we paused rent increases, late charges and administrative fees; by the end of the quarter we re-introduced these where appropriate,” he said.
StorageVault Canada (SVI) is holding steady and is trading at $3.15 per share at 1:30 pm EDT.
