Sun Communities, Inc. Reports 2023 Third Quarter and Year-to-Date Results

25, 2023 (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 2023.

Financial Results for the Quarter and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2023

  • For the quarter ended September 30, 2023, net income attributable to common shareholders was $163.1million, or $1.31 per diluted share, compared to net income attributable to common shareholders of $162.6million, or $1.32 per diluted share for the same period in 2022.
  • For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, net income attributable to common shareholders was $222.8million, or $1.79 per diluted share, compared to net income attributable to common shareholders of $237.3million, or $1.97 per diluted share, for the same period in 2022.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

  • Core Funds from Operations (“Core FFO”) for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2023, were $2.57 per common share and dilutive convertible securities (“Share”) and $5.76 per Share, respectively.
  • Same Property Net Operating Income (“NOI”) increased by 6.7% and 6.6% for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in 2022.

“In the third quarter, we again delivered strong performance in our core real property portfolio, with Same Property NOI growth and Core FFO exceeding our expectations,” said Gary A. Shiffman, Chairman, President and CEO. “This strength was exhibited across Manufactured Housing, RV and Marinas, all of which demonstrate the continued favorable backdrop of high demand and limited supply. Furthermore, we are positioned for ongoing organic growth with 2024 expected rental rate increases of approximately 5.4% for MH, 6.5% for RV, and 5.6% for Marina in North America and 7.1% for UK.” He continued, “Our current objectives include implementing select changes to help our best-in-class portfolio deliver the FFO per share growth Sun shareholders historically have enjoyed. These changes include selective capital recycling opportunities and using the proceeds to de-lever. With the strength of our core business, which has a positive track record throughout economic cycles, and our focus on our durable cash flow business, we remain confident in our ability to create shareholder value.”

BALANCE SHEET, CAPITAL MARKETS ACTIVITY AND OTHER ITEMS

As of September 30, 2023, the Company had $7.7 billion in debt outstanding with a weighted average interest rate of 4.1% and a weighted average maturity of 6.8 years. At September 30, 2023, the Company’s net debt to trailing twelve-month Recurring EBITDA ratio was 6.1 times.

During the quarter, the Company entered into interest rate swap contracts to hedge variable rate borrowings of $125.0 million in aggregate under its senior credit facility. The interest rate swaps lock in a weighted average SOFR rate of 4.771%, and inclusive of spread, an all-in rate of 5.681% through the maturity date of April 7, 2026.

Subsequent to the quarter, the Company:

  • Entered into an interest rate swap contract to hedge variable rate borrowings of $25.0million under its senior credit facility. The interest rate swap lock in a weighted average SOFR rate of 4.684%, and inclusive of spread, an all-in rate of 5.594% through the term loan maturity date of April 7, 2026.
  • Terminated one SOFR interest rate swap hedging variable rate borrowings of $50.0million under its senior credit facility and received a cash settlement payment of $6.0million. The net accumulated gain is included in Accumulated other comprehensive income on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets, and will be amortized as a reduction to Interest expense over the term of the hedged transaction.
  • Entered into a new mortgage term loan for $252.8million that matures in November 2030 and bears interest at a fixed rate of 6.49%. The proceeds were used to repay $117.8million of mortgage term loans that mature in 2023 and pay down amounts drawn under the Company’s senior credit facility.
  • Sold its 41.8million share position in Ingenia Communities Group (ASX: INA), generating $102.5million of proceeds, net of underwriting and other estimated fees, with an estimated realized loss of $9.0 million. The proceeds were used to pay down amounts drawn under the Company’s senior credit facility.

UK Notes Receivable from Real Estate Operators

From time to time, the Company extends loans to third party real estate developers and operators to facilitate the Company’s potential acquisition and development pipeline. At September 30, 2023, the Company had a $361.1 million note receivable due from Royale Holdings Group HoldCo Limited, a real estate development owner / operator in the UK, and certain other parties (the “Note”). As of the same date, the borrowings under the Note bear interest at a weighted average rate of 12.4%. The Note is not related to the Company’s manufactured housing portfolio in the UK that operates under the Park Holidays brand.

Since inception, the Company has elected to measure the Note at fair value, using pricing models with the assistance of third-party valuation specialists, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.” The Company has also periodically engaged third party valuation specialists to appraise the collateral in order to assess the fair value of the Note.

The Note is collateralized by a first-priority security interest in three real estate properties and three MH manufacturers in the UK. The real estate collateral consists of MH development properties that comprised a significant majority of the total appraised value of all collateral securing the Note at September 30, 2023.
The Note matured on July 31, 2023, and remained due at September 30, 2023. On September 29, 2023, the Company appointed receivers over the real estate collateral and is assessing courses of action with respect to the other collateral.

The Company expects the receivers to start to market the real estate collateral for sale during the fourth quarter of 2023. Upon completion of the marketing process, the Company may elect to credit bid certain amounts due under the Note for the real estate collateral. If that were to occur and no third-party bid is received that exceeds the Company’s credit bid, the Company may elect to receive the real estate collateral in satisfaction of related amounts due under the Note. If a third-party bid is received that exceeds the Company’s bid, the Company will receive the cash proceeds of that bid up to the outstanding loan amount including interest, fees, and penalties, as applicable.

UK Contemplated Asset Sale

As previously disclosed, the Company had agreed to sell an operating MH community in the UK, Sandy Bay, in February 2023, which was expected to close in the third quarter. While the sale contract is no longer in effect, the asset remained classified as held for sale at September 30, 2023.

2023 GUIDANCE UPDATE

The Company is updating full-year 2023 and establishing fourth quarter 2023 guidance for diluted EPS and Core FFO per Share as follows:

Core FFO(b) per Share$7.09$7.23$7.05$7.13$1.28$1.36

(a) Other adjustments consist primarily of deferred taxes, changes in remeasurement (gains) / losses, contingent legal and insurance gains and other items presented in the table that reconciles Net income attributable to SUI common shareholders to Core FFO on page 6.

(b) The Company’s updated guidance translates forecasted results from operations in the UK using the relevant exchange rate in effect provided in the 2023 Guidance Assumptions table presented below. The impact of fluctuations in Canadian and Australian foreign currency rates on revised and initial guidance are not material.

The $7.09 per Share midpoint of the revised full-year guidance range is 1.0% lower than the prior range provided in July, primarily reflecting higher interest expense related to the UK Note remaining outstanding and lower expected transient RV revenues.

For the fourth quarter ending December 31, 2023, the Company’s guidance ranges assume Total Same Property NOI growth of 4.4% – 5.9%. The midpoints of Same Property NOI growth for the fourth quarter ending December 31, 2023 are 5.1% for Manufactured Housing, 3.6% for RV and 6.2% for Marina.

The assumptions underlying the Company’s revised 2023 full-year guidance are as follows:

Definitions and Notes

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 and RV 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 Company’s 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 – Lot modification capital expenditures are 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 – 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 – 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 and land parcels for future ground-up development and expansions activities (detailed for the current calendar year on page 14), plus any capital improvements identified during due diligence 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 and 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.

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 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 cash flow from 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. 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 from 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 depreciable operating property, plus real estate related depreciation and amortization, real estate related impairments, 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.
