Southfield, MI, Nov. 06, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sun Communities, Inc. (NYSE: SUI) (the "Company" or "SUI"), a real estate investment trust ("REIT") that owns and operates, or has an interest in, manufactured housing ("MH") and recreational vehicle ("RV") communities and marinas (collectively, the "properties"), today reported its third quarter results for 2024.

Financial Results for the Quarter and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2024

  • For the quarter ended September 30, 2024, net income attributable to common shareholders was $288.7 million, or $2.31 per diluted share, compared to net income attributable to common shareholders of $120.1 million, or $0.97 per diluted share for the same period in 2023.

  • For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, net income attributable to common shareholders was $313.4 million, or $2.51 per diluted share, compared to a net loss attributable to common shareholders of $132.4 million, or $1.07 per diluted share for the same period in 2023.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

  • Core Funds from Operations ("Core FFO") for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2024, was $2.34 per common share and dilutive convertible securities ("Share") and $5.39 per Share, respectively, as compared to $2.57 and $5.76 for the same periods in 2023.
  • Same Property Net Operating Income ("NOI")
  • North American Same Property NOI increased by $1.9 million and $31.3 million, or 0.5% and 3.6%, respectively, for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to the corresponding periods in 2023.

  • UK Same Property NOI decreased by $0.7 million, or 2.3%, for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, and increased by $4.3 million, or 7.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to the corresponding periods in 2023.

"Year-to-date we have achieved solid growth across our MH, annual RV, marina and UK segments, while continuing to see the volatility in the transient components of our business. Additionally, our third quarter performance reflects the impact of cost pressures which resulted in earnings and revised full year guidance that were below our expectations, and we are not satisfied with our results," said Gary A. Shiffman, Chairman and CEO. "We have continued to execute on our strategic priorities of recycling non-strategic assets, reducing debt, and increasing the revenue contribution from annual real property income, and we are now also implementing a broad restructuring effort to more effectively align the Company's cost structure to deliver sustainable earnings growth. The fundamentals underlying our business and real estate assets remain strong, we anticipate strong rental rate increases next year, and we are confident that by continuing to execute on these strategic priorities, we will position the company for more stable growth in the coming quarters and demonstrate our long-term value."

Impact of Hurricane Helene

On September 26, 2024, Hurricane Helene made landfall in Florida and subsequently affected the Mid-Atlantic region of the U.S. Preliminary assessments indicate that material damage to the Company's properties was largely avoided.

The impacted properties are located in Florida, South Carolina, North Carolina and Georgia.

The foregoing impairment is based on current information available, and the Company continues to assess these estimates. The actual final impairment could vary significantly from these estimates. Any changes to these estimates will be recognized in the period(s) in which they are determined.

Impact of Hurricane Milton

On October 9, 2024, Hurricane Milton made landfall in Florida and affected certain of the Company's properties in the region. The Company responded quickly to the event and clean-up and restoration efforts are in progress.

The Company maintains property, casualty, flood, and business interruption insurance for its properties, subject to customary deductibles and limits.

(a) Other adjustments consist primarily of remeasurement (gains) / losses, contingent legal and insurance gains and other items presented in the table Reconciliation of Net Income / (Loss) Attributable to SUI Common Shareholders to Core FFO on page 6.

(b) The diluted share counts for the quarter and year ending December 31, 2024 are estimated to be 132.5 million and 130.4 million, respectively.

(c) The Company's updated guidance translates forecasted results from operations in the UK using the relevant exchange rate in effect provided in the table presented below. The impact of fluctuations in Canadian and Australian foreign currency rates on revised and initial guidance are not material.

Exchange Rates in Effect at: December 31, 2023 June 30, 2024 September 30, 2024
U.S. Dollar ("USD") / Pound Sterling ("GBP") 1.27 1.26 1.34
USD / Canadian Dollar ("CAD") 0.75 0.73 0.74
USD / Australian Dollar ("AUD") 0.68 0.67 0.69

The Company's updated guidance for the full-year ending December 31, 2024 is reflected below. Note that certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with current period presentation, with no effect on Net income / (loss) and Core FFO. The reclassifications more precisely align certain indirect expenses with underlying activity drivers.

Key adjustments versus prior guidance are:

  • Total Real Property NOI growth is 3.5% – 3.9%, 240 basis points lower at the midpoint of guidance for 2024, primarily reflecting year-to-date property dispositions and the resultant loss of income from those properties, increased costs versus an anticipated reduction in costs and expense savings incorporated into previous guidance, and lower expected transient revenue in our RV and marina businesses.

  • Interest expense – lowering full-year interest expense guidance by $2.0 million at the midpoint, primarily due to reduced debt balances, partially offset by GBP to USD foreign currency exchange movement.

  • Same Property Portfolio
    • In North America, the Company is reducing the midpoint for Same Property NOI growth for the full-year to approximately 3.0%.

      • MH – reducing Same Property NOI growth to a range of 5.6% – 6.2%, a decrease of 120 basis points at the midpoint, reflecting higher operating expenses than anticipated in prior guidance, primarily in supplies and repairs and utilities.

      • RV – reducing Same Property NOI growth to a range of (5.3%) – (4.1%), a decrease of 480 basis points at the midpoint, reflecting ongoing headwinds in the transient RV segment, particularly in September including storm-related disruption, and higher operating expenses than anticipated in prior guidance, primarily in supplies and repairs and utilities.

      • Marinas – reducing Same Property NOI to a range of 4.4% – 5.2%, a decrease of 190 basis points at the midpoint, reflecting delayed returns of large vessels to the US from Europe, in part due to weather, lower overall occupancy and higher expenses than originally expected, primarily in payroll.

    • In the UK, the Company is reducing Same Property NOI growth to a range of 7.1% – 8.7% for the full-year, a decrease of 160 basis points at the midpoint, primarily due to the move-in timing of new owners and higher expenses in supplies and repairs and payroll.

    • Full-year 2023 and year-to-date 2024 actual results have been adjusted for property dispositions in the 2024 Same Property Portfolio guidance for comparative performance purposes.

  • Service, retail, dining and entertainment NOI – lowering full-year service, retail, dining and entertainment NOI by $11.9 million at the midpoint due to lower transient demand in RV and Marinas leading to less revenue generation from ancillary service, retail, dining, entertainment and fuel sales and therefore lower resultant NOI.

  • FFO contribution from US home sales – lowering full-year North American home sales FFO contribution by $3.7 million at the midpoint due to lower home sale volume expectations in the fourth quarter, following September home sales that fell short of internal expectations after July and August finished ahead of internal expectations. Volumes particularly impacted in the Southeast and Florida, in large part due to the hurricanes.

  • General and administrative expenses, excluding non-recurring expenses – increasing the midpoint by approximately $1.9 million, or 75 basis points, reflecting primarily payroll-related corporate cost increases.

  • Current tax expense – lowering the midpoint by $9.5 million due to lower UK taxes than anticipated and higher than expected GBP to USD foreign currency exchange rates.

Definitions and Notes

 


                    

Acquisition and Other Transaction Costs - In the Company's Reconciliation of Net Income / (Loss) Attributable to SUI Common Shareholders to Core FFO on page 6, 'Acquisition and other transaction costs' represent (a) nonrecurring integration expenses associated with acquisitions during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, (b) costs associated with potential acquisitions that will not close, (c) expenses incurred to bring recently acquired properties up to the Company's operating standards, including items such as tree trimming and painting costs that do not meet the Company's capitalization policy, and other non-recurring transaction costs, and (d) other non-recurring transactions.

Capital Expenditures and Investment Activity - The Company classifies its investments in properties into the following categories:

  • Recurring Capital Expenditures - Property recurring capital expenditures are necessary to maintain asset quality, including purchasing and replacing items used to operate the communities and marinas. Recurring capital expenditures at the Company's MH, RV and UK properties include major road, driveway and pool improvements; clubhouse renovations; adding or replacing streetlights; playground equipment; signage; maintenance facilities; manager housing and property vehicles. Recurring capital expenditures at the marinas include dredging, dock repairs and improvements, and equipment maintenance and upgrades. The minimum capitalized amount is five hundred dollars.

  • Non-Recurring Capital Expenditures - The following investment and reinvestment activities are non-recurring in nature:

    • Lot Modifications - consist of expenditures incurred to modify the foundational structures required to set a new home after a previous home has been removed. These expenditures are necessary to create a revenue stream from a new site renter and often improve the quality of the community. Other lot modification expenditures include land improvements added to annual RV sites to aid in the conversion of transient RV guests to annual contracts. See page 13 for move-out rates.

    • Growth Projects - consist of revenue-generating or expense-reducing activities at the properties. These include, but are not limited to, utility efficiency and renewable energy projects, site, slip or amenity upgrades, such as the addition of a garage, shed or boat lift, and other special capital projects that substantiate an incremental rental increase.

    • Rebranding - includes new signage at the Company's RV communities and costs of building an RV mobile application and updated website.

    • Acquisitions - Total acquisition investments represent the purchase price paid for operating properties (detailed for the current calendar year on page 14), the purchase price paid for land parcels for future ground-up development and expansions activities, and any capital improvements identified during due diligence from the acquisition date through the third year of ownership needed to bring acquired properties up to the Company's operating standards.

Capital improvements subsequent to acquisition often require 24 to 36 months to complete after closing. At MH, RV and UK properties, capital improvements include upgrading clubhouses; landscaping; new street light systems; new mail delivery systems; pool renovations including larger decks, heaters and furniture; new maintenance facilities; lot modifications; and new signage including main signs and internal road signs. Capital improvements at Marina properties primarily include improvements to rooms, renovation of restaurant facilities, pools and fitness centers.

Same Property - The Company defines Same Properties as those the Company has owned and operated continuously since at least January 1, 2023. Same properties exclude ground-up development properties, acquired properties and properties sold after December 31, 2022. The Same Property data may change from time-to-time depending on acquisitions, dispositions, management discretion, significant transactions or unique situations.

Secured borrowings on collateralized receivables - This is a transferred asset transaction which has been classified as collateralized receivables and the cash received from this transaction has been classified as secured borrowings. The interest income and interest expense accrue at the same amount. The Company has elected to record the collateralized receivables and secured borrowings at fair value under ASC 820, "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures." As a result, the balance of collateralized receivables and related secured borrowings are net of fair value adjustments.

Non-GAAP Supplemental Measures

Investors and analysts following the real estate industry use non-GAAP supplemental performance measures, including net operating income ("NOI"), earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") and funds from operations ("FFO") to assess REITs. The Company believes that NOI, EBITDA and FFO are appropriate measures given their wide use by and relevance to investors and analysts. Additionally, NOI, EBITDA and FFO are commonly used in various ratios, pricing multiples, yields and returns and valuation calculations used to measure financial position, performance and value.

NOI provides a measure of rental operations that does not factor in depreciation, amortization and non-property specific expenses such as general and administrative expenses.
EBITDA provides a further measure to evaluate the Company's ability to incur and service debt; EBITDA also provides further measures to evaluate the Company's ability to fund dividends and other cash needs.

FFO, reflecting the assumption that real estate values rise or fall with market conditions, principally adjusts for the effects of GAAP depreciation and amortization of real estate assets.

  • Net Operating Income ("NOI")

    • Total Portfolio NOI - The Company calculates NOI by subtracting property operating expenses and real estate taxes from operating property revenues. NOI is a non-GAAP financial measure that the Company believes is helpful to investors as a supplemental measure of operating performance because it is an indicator of the return on property investment and provides a method of comparing property performance over time. The Company uses NOI as a key measure when evaluating performance and growth of particular properties and / or groups of properties. The principal limitation of NOI is that it excludes depreciation, amortization, interest expense and non-property specific expenses such as general and administrative expenses, all of which are significant costs. Therefore, NOI is a measure of the operating performance of the properties of the Company rather than of the Company overall. The Company believes that NOI provides enhanced comparability for investor evaluation of properties performance and growth over time.

The Company believes that GAAP net income (loss) is the most directly comparable measure to NOI. NOI should not be considered to be an alternative to GAAP net income (loss) as an indication of the Company's financial performance or GAAP net cash provided by operating activities as a measure of the Company's liquidity; nor is it indicative of funds available for the Company's cash needs, including its ability to make cash distributions. Because of the inclusion of items such as interest, depreciation and amortization, the use of GAAP net income (loss) as a performance measure is limited as these items may not accurately reflect the actual change in market value of a property, in the case of depreciation and in the case of interest, may not necessarily be linked to the operating performance of a real estate asset, as it is often incurred at a parent company level and not at a property level.

    
  • Same Property NOI - This is a key management tool used when evaluating performance and growth of the Company's Same Property portfolio. The Company believes that Same Property NOI is helpful to investors as a supplemental comparative performance measure of the income generated from the Same property portfolio from one period to the next. Same Property NOI does not include the revenues and expenses related to home sales, service, retail, dining and entertainment activities at the properties.

  • Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA")

    • EBITDAre - Nareit refers to EBITDA as "EBITDAre" and calculates it as GAAP net income (loss), plus interest expense, plus income tax expense, plus depreciation and amortization, plus or minus losses or gains on the disposition of depreciated property (including losses or gains on change of control), plus impairment write-downs of depreciated property and of investments in nonconsolidated affiliates caused by a decrease in value of depreciated property in the affiliate, and adjustments to reflect the entity's share of EBITDAre of nonconsolidated affiliates. EBITDAre is a non-GAAP financial measure that the Company uses to evaluate its ability to incur and service debt, fund dividends and other cash needs and cover fixed costs. Investors utilize EBITDAre as a supplemental measure to evaluate and compare investment quality and enterprise value of REITs.

    • Recurring EBITDA - The Company also uses EBITDAre excluding certain gain and loss items that management considers unrelated to measurement of the Company's performance on a basis that is independent of capital structure ("Recurring EBITDA"). The Company believes that GAAP net income (loss) is the most directly comparable measure to EBITDAre. EBITDAre is not intended to be used as a measure of the Company's cash generated by operations or its dividend-paying capacity, and should therefore not replace GAAP net income (loss) as an indication of the Company's financial performance or GAAP cash flow provided by / used for operating, investing and financing activities as measures of liquidity.

          
  • Funds from Operations ("FFO")
  • FFO - Nareit defines FFO as GAAP net income (loss), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of certain real estate assets, plus real estate related depreciation and amortization, impairments of certain real estate assets and investments, and after adjustments for nonconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. FFO is a non-GAAP financial measure that management believes is a useful supplemental measure of the Company's operating performance. By excluding gains and losses related to sales of previously depreciated operating real estate assets, real estate related impairment and real estate asset depreciation and amortization (which can vary among owners of identical assets in similar condition based on historical cost accounting and useful life estimates), FFO provides a performance measure that, when compared period-over-period, reflects the impact to operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates and operating costs, providing perspective not readily apparent from GAAP net income (loss). Management believes the use of FFO has been beneficial in improving the understanding of operating results of REITs among the investing public and making comparisons of REIT operating results more meaningful.

  • Core FFO - In addition to FFO, the Company uses FFO excluding certain gain and loss items that management considers unrelated to the operational and financial performance of the Company's core business ("Core FFO"). The Company believes that Core FFO provides enhanced comparability for investor evaluations of period-over-period results. The Company believes that GAAP net income (loss) is the most directly comparable measure to FFO. The principal limitation of FFO is that it does not replace GAAP net income (loss) as a financial performance measure or GAAP cash flow from operating activities as a measure of the Company's liquidity. Because FFO excludes significant economic components of GAAP net income (loss) including depreciation and amortization, FFO should be used as a supplement to GAAP net income (loss) and not as an alternative to it. Furthermore, FFO is not intended as a measure of a REIT's ability to meet debt principal repayments and other cash requirements, nor as a measure of working capital. FFO is calculated in accordance with the Company's interpretation of standards established by Nareit, which may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs that interpret the Nareit definition differently. Certain financial information has been revised to reflect reclassifications in prior periods to conform to current period presentation.
