Insights

Financial Analyst

<p>ELS reported solid Q3 2024 results, with Normalized FFO per share of <money>$0.72</money>, up <percent>4.9%</percent> year-over-year and meeting guidance. Core property operating revenues increased <percent>4.4%</percent>, while Core income from property operations grew <percent>5.8%</percent>. The MH segment showed strength with <percent>6.2%</percent> base rental income growth, driven by rate increases and occupancy gains. RV and marina performance was more modest at <percent>1.3%</percent> growth.</p><p>The company's balance sheet activity is noteworthy, with a <money>$314.2 million</money> equity raise used to repay debt. This deleveraging move should improve the company's financial flexibility. Looking ahead, ELS provided preliminary 2025 rent growth assumptions of <percent>5%</percent> for MH and <percent>5.5%</percent> for RV annuals, indicating continued pricing power in their markets.</p><p>While recent hurricanes have had some impact, the company believes its insurance coverage is adequate. The narrowed full-year 2024 guidance suggests management confidence in achieving their targets despite these challenges.</p>

Real Estate Investment Specialist

<p>ELS's Q3 performance underscores the resilience of the manufactured housing and RV resort sectors. The <percent>6.2%</percent> growth in Core MH base rental income is particularly impressive, reflecting strong demand and supply in affordable housing options. The ability to push through <percent>5.8%</percent> rate increases while still achieving occupancy gains demonstrates the company's pricing power and the essential nature of their properties.</p><p>The RV and marina segment's slower growth (<percent>1.3%</percent>) may indicate some softening in discretionary spending, but the <percent>6.2%</percent> increase in annual base rental income suggests a stable core of long-term RV residents. The preliminary 2025 rent growth assumptions of <percent>5%</percent> for MH and <percent>5.5%</percent> for RV annuals are optimistic and above inflation expectations, which could drive continued NOI growth if achieved.</p><p>The company's proactive approach to balance sheet management, including the recent equity raise and debt repayment, positions them well for potential acquisitions or development opportunities in a market where cap rates may be adjusting due to higher interest rates.</p>

Core MH homeowners increased by 111, and we sold 173 new homes during the quarter ended September 30, 2024. The average sales price of new homes sold was approximately $88,000. Core MH base rental income for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 increased 6.2% compared to the same period in 2023, which reflects 6.0% growth from rate increases and 0.2% from occupancy gains.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, Core property operating expenses, excluding property management increased 3.4% compared to same period in 2023.

Balance Sheet Activity

In October 2024, we sold approximately 4.5 million shares of our common stock at a price of $70.00 from our at-the-market ("ATM") offering program. The net proceeds of $314.2 million were used to repay our $300.0 million unsecured term loan (the "$300 million Term Loan") and to terminate the interest rate swaps, which fixed the interest rate of the $300 million Term Loan at 6.05% until maturity in April 2026. 

Storm Events

Following Hurricane Helene which made landfall on September 26, 2024 we accrued approximately $1.0 million of expenses related to debris removal and clean up, which is reflected in Casualty-related charges/(recoveries), net on the consolidated income statement, and we recorded a $1.8 million reduction to the carrying value of certain assets, which is included in Loss on sale of real estate and impairment, net in the Consolidated Statements of Income on page 3.

Following Hurricane Milton which made landfall on October 9, 2024, we have continued clean up efforts at impacted properties. We believe that we have adequate insurance, subject to deductibles, including business interruption coverage, and at this time, we do not believe that Hurricane Milton will have a significant adverse impact on our results of operations or our financial condition on a consolidated basis.

Guidance Update ⁽¹⁾

Consistent with our historical practice at this time of year, we have updated and narrowed the full year guidance range. The full year guidance range of $0.06 per share is the same as the fourth quarter guidance range.

The updated guidance does not include assumptions related to debris removal and restoration costs, and possible business interruption losses, asset impairments or insurance recoveries related to Hurricane Milton. We believe we have adequate insurance coverage, subject to deductibles, for losses related to Hurricane Milton, but we are unable to predict the timing or amount of recovery. Furthermore, in accordance with GAAP, insurance reimbursement for business interruption losses is to be recognized as revenue only upon receipt.

______________________
1.	Fourth quarter and full year 2024 guidance represent management's estimate of a range of possible outcomes. The midpoint of the ranges and the preliminary 2025 rent rate growth assumptions reflect management's estimate of the most likely outcome based on our current view of existing market conditions and assumptions. Actual results could vary materially from management's estimates presented above if any of our assumptions, including occupancy and rate changes, our ability to manage expenses in an inflationary environment, our ability to integrate and operate recent acquisitions and costs to restore property operations and potential revenue losses following storms or other unplanned events, are incorrect. See Forward-Looking Statements in this press release for additional factors impacting our 2024 and 2025 guidance assumptions. See Non-GAAP Financial Measures Definitions and Reconciliations at the end of the supplemental financial information for definitions of FFO and Normalized FFO and a reconciliation of Net income per Common Share - Fully Diluted to FFO per Common Share and OP Unit - Fully Diluted and Normalized FFO per Common Share and OP Unit - Fully Diluted.
2.	Core RV and marina annual revenue represents approximately 77.8% and 70.4% of fourth quarter 2024 and full year 2024 RV and marina base rental income guidance, respectively. Core RV and marina annual revenue fourth quarter 2024 growth rate range is 5.8% to 6.4% and the full year 2024 growth rate range is 6.4% to 7.0%.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This document contains certain Non-GAAP measures used by management that we believe are helpful to understand our business. We believe investors should review these Non-GAAP measures along with GAAP net income and cash flows from operating activities, investing activities and financing activities, when evaluating an equity REIT's operating performance. Our definitions and calculations of these Non-GAAP financial and operating measures and other terms may differ from the definitions and methodologies used by other REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable. These Non-GAAP financial and operating measures do not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP, nor do they represent cash available to pay distributions and should not be considered as an alternative to net income, determined in accordance with GAAP, as an indication of our financial performance, or to cash flows from operating activities, determined in accordance with GAAP, as a measure of our liquidity, nor are they indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to make cash distributions. For definitions and reconciliations of Non-GAAP measures to our financial statements as prepared under GAAP, refer to both Reconciliation of Net Income to Non-GAAP Financial Measures on page 6 and Non-GAAP Financial Measures Definitions and Reconciliations on pages 16-19.

_____________________
1.	In October 2024 we repaid the $300.0 million Term Loan scheduled to mature in 2026. Excluding the $300.0 million Term Loan, our total secured and unsecured debt weighted average interest rate and years to maturity would have been approximately 3.85% and 9.0 years, respectively as of September 30, 2024.
2.	The floating interest rate on the line of credit is SOFR plus 0.10%  plus 1.25% to 1.65%. During the quarter ended September 30, 2024, the effective interest rate on the line of credit borrowings was 6.66%.
3.	Reflects effective interest rate for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, including interest associated with the line of credit and amortization of deferred financing costs. Excluding the $300.0 million Term Loan and the associated unamortized loan costs repaid in October 2024, our total debt weighted average interest rate would have been approximately 4.05% as of September 30, 2024.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures Definitions and Reconciliations

The following Non-GAAP financial measures definitions have been revised and do not include adjustments in respect to membership upgrade sales: (i) FFO; (ii) Normalized FFO; (iii) EBITDAre; (iv) Adjusted EBITDAre; (v) Property operating revenues; (vi) Property operating expenses, excluding property management; and (vii) Income from property operations, excluding property management. For comparability, prior periods' non-GAAP financial measures have also been updated.

FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS (FFO). We define FFO as net income, computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains or losses from sales of properties, depreciation and amortization related to real estate, impairment charges and adjustments to reflect our share of FFO of unconsolidated joint ventures. Adjustments for unconsolidated joint ventures are calculated to reflect FFO on the same basis. We compute FFO in accordance with our interpretation of standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT"), which may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs that do not define the term in accordance with the current NAREIT definition or that interpret the current NAREIT definition differently than we do.

We believe FFO, as defined by the Board of Governors of NAREIT, is generally a measure of performance for an equity REIT. While FFO is a relevant and widely used measure of operating performance for equity REITs, it does not represent cash flow from operations or net income as defined by GAAP, and it should not be considered as an alternative to these indicators in evaluating liquidity or operating performance.

NORMALIZED FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS (NORMALIZED FFO). We define Normalized FFO as FFO excluding non-operating income and expense items, such as gains and losses from early debt extinguishment, including prepayment penalties, defeasance costs, transaction/pursuit costs and other, and other miscellaneous non-comparable items. Normalized FFO presented herein is not necessarily comparable to Normalized FFO presented by other real estate companies due to the fact that not all real estate companies use the same methodology for computing this amount.

FUNDS AVAILABLE FOR DISTRIBUTION (FAD). We define FAD as Normalized FFO less non-revenue producing capital expenditures.

We believe that FFO, Normalized FFO and FAD are helpful to investors as supplemental measures of the performance of an equity REIT. We believe that by excluding the effect of gains or losses from sales of properties, depreciation and amortization related to real estate and impairment charges, which are based on historical costs and may be of limited relevance in evaluating current performance, FFO can facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods and among other equity REITs. We further believe that Normalized FFO provides useful information to investors, analysts and our management because it allows them to compare our operating performance to the operating performance of other real estate companies and between periods on a consistent basis without having to account for differences not related to our normal operations. For example, we believe that excluding the early extinguishment of debt and other miscellaneous non-comparable items from FFO allows investors, analysts and our management to assess the sustainability of operating performance in future periods because these costs do not affect the future operations of the properties. In some cases, we provide information about identified non-cash components of FFO and Normalized FFO because it allows investors, analysts and our management to assess the impact of those items.

INCOME FROM PROPERTY OPERATIONS, EXCLUDING PROPERTY MANAGEMENT. We define Income from property operations, excluding property management as rental income, membership subscriptions and upgrade sales, utility and other income less property and rental home operating and maintenance expenses, real estate taxes, membership sales and marketing expenses, excluding property management expenses. Property management represents the expenses associated with indirect costs such as off-site payroll and certain administrative and professional expenses. We believe exclusion of property management expenses is helpful to investors and analysts as a measure of the operating results of our properties, excluding items that are not directly related to the operation of the properties. For comparative purposes, we present bad debt expense within Property operating, maintenance and real estate taxes in the current and prior periods. We believe that this Non-GAAP financial measure is helpful to investors and analysts as a measure of the operating results of our properties.

EARNINGS BEFORE INTEREST, TAX, DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION FOR REAL ESTATE (EBITDAre) AND ADJUSTED EBITDAre. We define EBITDAre as net income or loss excluding interest income and expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, gains or losses from sales of properties, impairments charges, and adjustments to reflect our share of EBITDAre of unconsolidated joint ventures. We compute EBITDAre in accordance with our interpretation of the standards established by NAREIT, which may not be comparable to EBITDAre reported by other REITs that do not define the term in accordance with the current NAREIT definition or that interpret the current NAREIT definition differently than we do.

We define Adjusted EBITDAre as EBITDAre excluding non-operating income and expense items, such as gains and losses from early debt extinguishment, including prepayment penalties and defeasance costs, transaction/pursuit costs and other, and other miscellaneous non-comparable items.

We believe that EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre may be useful to an investor in evaluating our operating performance and liquidity because the measures are widely used to measure the operating performance of an equity REIT.

CORE. The Core properties include properties we owned and operated during all of 2023 and 2024. We believe Core is a measure that is useful to investors for annual comparison as it removes the fluctuations associated with acquisitions, dispositions and significant transactions or unique situations.

NON-CORE. The Non-Core properties in 2024 include properties that were not owned and operated during all of 2023 and 2024, including six properties in Florida impacted by Hurricane Ian and two properties in California that were impacted by storm and flooding events. The 2024 guidance reflects Non-Core properties in 2024, which includes properties not owned and operated during all of 2023 and 2024.

NON-REVENUE PRODUCING IMPROVEMENTS. Represents capital expenditures that do not directly result in increased revenue or expense savings and are primarily comprised of common area improvements, furniture and mechanical improvements.

FIXED CHARGES. Fixed charges consist of interest expense, amortization of note premiums and debt issuance costs.
