Segment Disclosures
Note 9. Segment Disclosures
We operate in two reportable business segments: (i) self storage operations and (ii) our Managed REIT Platform business.
Management evaluates performance based upon net operating income (“NOI”). For our self storage operations, NOI is defined as leasing and related revenues, less property level operating expenses. NOI for the Company’s Managed REIT Platform business represents Managed REIT Platform revenues less Managed REIT Platform expenses.
The following tables summarize information for the reportable segments for the periods presented:

Included in the assets of the Self Storage segment as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was approximately $52.2 million of goodwill. Additionally, as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were no accumulated impairment charges to goodwill within the Self Storage segment.
(2)
 
Included in the assets of the Managed REIT Platform segment as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was approximately $1.4 million of goodwill. Such goodwill is net of accumulated impairment charges in the Managed REIT Platform segment of approximately $24.7 million, which relates to the impairment charge recorded during the quarter ended March 31, 2020.
(3)
 
Other than our investments in and advances to Managed REITs, substantially all of our investments in real estate facilities and intangible assets as of December 31, 2022 and September 30, 2023, respectively, were associated with our self storage platform.
As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, approximately $168 million and $170 million, respectively, of our assets in the self storage segment related to our operations in Canada. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, approximately $5.7 million and $16.6 million, respectively, of our revenues in the self storage segment related to our operations in Canada. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, approximately $5.5 million and $16.0 million, respectively, of our revenues in the self storage segment related to our operations in Canada. Substantially all of our operations related to the management fees we generate through our management contracts with the Managed REITs are performed in the U.S.; accordingly substantially all of our assets and revenues related to our Managed REIT segment are based in the U.S. as well.
As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, approximately $34.7 million and $28.5 million, respectively, of our assets in the Corporate and Other segment in the table above relate to our JV Properties which operate in Canada. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, approximately $1.2 million and $0.6 million of losses, respectively, relate to these JV Properties’ operations in Canada.
Note 9. Segment Disclosures
We operate in two reportable business segments: (i) self storage operations and (ii) our Managed REIT Platform business.
Management evaluates performance based upon property net operating income (“NOI”). For our self storage operations, NOI is defined as leasing and related revenues, less property level operating expenses. NOI for the Company’s Managed REIT Platform business represents Managed REIT Platform revenues less Managed REIT Platform expenses.

Included in the assets of the Self Storage segment as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 were approximately $52.2 million and $49.8 million of goodwill, respectively. Additionally, as of December 31, 2022 we had never recorded any impairment charges to goodwill within the Self Storage segment.
(2)
 
Included in the assets of the Managed REIT Platform segment as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, were approximately $1.4 million and $3.9 million of goodwill, respectively. Such goodwill is net of previous impairment charges in the Managed REIT Platform segment of approximately $24.7 million as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, which relates to the impairment charge recorded during the quarter ended March 31, 2020.
(3)
 
Other than our investments in and advances to Managed REITs, substantially all of our investments in real estate facilities and intangible assets made during the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 were associated with our self storage platform.
As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, approximately $170 million and $185 million, respectively, of our assets in the self storage segment related to our operations in Canada. For the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020, approximately $21.5 million, $19.2 million, and $14.7 million, respectively, of our revenues in the self storage segment related to our operations in Canada. Substantially all of our operations related to the management fees we generate through our management contracts with the Managed REITs are performed in the U.S.; accordingly substantially all of our assets and revenues related to our Managed REIT segment are based in the U.S. as well.
