Related Party Transactions [Abstract] |
Related Party Transactions | 11. Related Party Transactions U-Haul Holding Company has engaged in related party transactions and has continuing related party interests with certain major stockholders, directors and officers of the consolidated group as disclosed below. SAC Holding Corporation and SAC Holding II Corporation (collectively, “SAC Holdings”) were established in order to acquire and develop self-storage properties. These properties are being managed by us pursuant to management agreements. SAC Holdings, Four SAC Self-Storage Corporation, Five SAC Self-Storage Corporation, Galaxy Investments, L.P. and 2015 SAC-Self-Storage, LLC are substantially controlled by Blackwater Investments, Inc. (“Blackwater”). Blackwater is wholly owned by Willow Grove Holdings LP, which is owned by Mark V. Shoen (a significant stockholder), and various trusts associated with Edward J. Shoen (our Chairman of the Board, President and a significant stockholder) and Mark V. Shoen. Related Party Revenue

We currently manage the self-storage properties owned or leased by Blackwater and Mercury Partners, L.P. (“Mercury”), pursuant to a standard form of management agreement, under which we receive a management fee of between 4% and 10% of the gross receipts plus reimbursement for certain expenses. We received management fees, exclusive of reimbursed expenses, of $9.3 million and $8.2 million from the above-mentioned entities during the first three months of fiscal 2025 and 2024, respectively. This management fee is consistent with the fee received for other properties we previously managed for third parties. Mark V. Shoen controls the general partner of Mercury. The limited partner interests of Mercury are owned indirectly by James P. Shoen and various trusts benefiting Edward J. Shoen and James P. Shoen or their descendants. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024, Mercury exercised its option to purchase 78 U-Haul branded self-storage locations from W.P. Carey. The self-storage component of these properties was previously leased by Mercury from W.P. Carey and managed by U-Haul, while the non-self-storage portions of these properties were leased by U-Haul. Post acquisition, Mercury now owns all of these properties and U-Haul acts as property manager. There were several changes recognized in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 and will continue to be going forward as a result of this transaction. Retail sales revenues along with the associated cost of goods sold previously recognized by U-Haul will now be with Mercury. U-Move and U-Box related revenue will remain unchanged; however, Mercury will earn standard commissions for the transactions at these locations. Management fees earned by U-Haul will increase as a result of the increased revenues attributable to Mercury and certain operating expenses at these locations that were formerly the responsibility of U-Haul will now be reimbursed by Mercury. The net effect of all of these changes is not expected to result in a material change to operating earnings. Related Party Costs and Expenses

The financial and other terms of the transactions are substantially identical to the terms of additional specialty printing vendors.
