Current report
Over the past several years, we have shifted our strategy toward optimizing the value of our core business through achieving strong rental rate growth and operating efficiencies, while also pursuing select new acquisition opportunities that meet our capital investment criteria. In 2025, the Safe Harbor Sale advanced our strategy of focusing on our core business and enhanced our leverage profile and financial flexibility. Our current objectives include continuing to streamline our operations with an emphasis on our reliable real property income, while also selectively pursuing MH and RV acquisition opportunities. We believe we are positioned for organic growth in 2026 with expected rental rate increases, occupancy gains, and expense management as we focus on increasing long-term value for shareholders.
Current report
•The RV segment increase in NOI of $2.8 million, or 6.3%, when compared to the same period in 2025 is primarily due to an increase in Real property (excluding transient) revenue of $4.4 million, or 6.5%, partially offset by a decrease in Transient revenue of $0.5 million, or 1.7% and an increase in Same property operating expenses of $1.1 million, or 2.3%. The increase in Real property (excluding transient) revenue was primarily due to a 3.6% increase in monthly base rent.
Current report
•The UK segment increase in NOI of $0.2 million, or 1.6%, when compared to the same period in 2025 is primarily due to an increase in Real property (excluding transient) revenue of $1.0 million, or 3.7% and an increase in Real property transient revenue of $0.5 million, or 27.6%, partially offset by an increase in Same property operating expenses of $1.3 million, or 7.3%. The increase in Real property revenue was primarily due to a 5.0% increase in monthly base rent per site.
Current report
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, the 1.0% decrease in NOI was primarily driven by a 2.2% decrease in NOI margin, driven by an 11.4% increase in home cost and selling expenses due to a change in the mix of homes sold.
Current report
General and administrative expense - for the three months ended March 31, 2026, increased primarily due to accelerated share-based compensation expense of $8.9 million and severance costs of $5.1 million related to executive leadership transitions in the current period. Refer to Note 9, "Share-Based Compensation," in our accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
Current report
Asset impairments - for the three months ended March 31, 2026, decreased due to asset impairment charges of $24.0 million in the prior period related to pre-construction development costs at seven of our MH and RV properties at which the related development projects are no longer probable of being realized. Refer to Note 13, "Fair Value Measurements," in our accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
Current report
During the year ended December 31, 2025, we received a settlement of $80.2 million from an insurance provider to settle all claims related to property, casualty, flood, and business interruption insurance recoveries from Hurricane Ian. We concluded that $36.5 million of the total settlement pertained to business interruption recoveries through 2027, which we recorded as a contingent gain per ASC 450. To better reflect the underlying economics of the transaction, we have elected to defer the business interruption recovery gain and recognize income ratably through 2027 for our presentation of Core FFO.

SAFE HARBOR SALE
Previous report
In April 2025, we completed the initial closing of the Safe Harbor Sale, which generated approximately $5.25 billion of pre-tax cash proceeds, net of transaction costs, with a gain on sale of $1.4 billion. Pursuant to the terms of the transaction agreement, 15 Delayed Consent Subsidiaries representing approximately $250.0 million of value were not part of the initial closing. Subsequent to the initial closing through June 30, 2025, we completed the sale of six Delayed Consent Subsidiaries for $136.7 million. On August 29, 2025, we completed the sale of the remaining nine Delayed Consent Subsidiaries for $117.5 million and fully divested our investment in the Safe Harbor business.
Previous report
The Safe Harbor Sale accelerates our strategy of focusing on our core MH and RV segments and significantly enhances our leverage profile and financial flexibility. Since the closing of the Safe Harbor Sale, we have deployed the cash proceeds from the Safe Harbor Sale to implement a balanced, tax-efficient capital allocation plan aimed at optimizing shareholder value through significantly lower leverage, greater financial flexibility to drive sustainable cash flow growth, and a thoughtful capital return strategy.

Previous report
Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash increased by $1.1 billion from $57.1 million as of December 31, 2024, to $1.2 billion as of September 30, 2025.
Previous report
Operating activities - Net cash provided by operating activities for discontinued operations decreased by $136.6 million to $56.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $193.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The decrease in net cash provided by operating activities for discontinued operations was due to a reduction in owned marinas, due to the closing of the Safe Harbor Sale during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to the corresponding period in 2024.
Previous report
Investing activities - Net cash provided by investing activities for discontinued operations was $5.5 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to net cash used for investing activities for discontinued operations of $188.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The change in net cash provided by / (used for) investing activities for discontinued operations is driven by cash proceeds received from the closing of the Safe Harbor Sale.
Previous report
Financing activities - Net cash used for financing activities for discontinued operations was $5.6 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to net cash provided by financing activities for discontinued operations of $3.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The change in net cash provided by / (used for) financing activities for discontinued operations is driven by the net capital transfer of $5.5 billion from Safe Harbor to the Company in conjunction with the Safe Harbor Sale.
Previous report
Refer to the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for detail on the net cash used for financing activities for discontinued operations during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024. Refer to Note 2, "Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations," in our accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
Previous report
The absence of future cash flows from discontinued operations is not expected to significantly impact our liquidity, as the cash proceeds from the Safe Harbor Sale have been allocated to pay down debt, which will generate annualized interest expense savings, and to reinvest in our core MH and RV segments by means of a $629.5 million cash allocation to 1031 exchange escrow accounts as of September 30, 2025. Subsequent to the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we allocated $399.0 million of restricted cash from the 1031 exchange escrow account and $58.0 million of unrestricted cash to acquire 11 MH and three RV communities. Refer to Note 21, "Subsequent Events," for more information.
Previous report

We are a fully integrated REIT. As of September 30, 2025, we owned and operated, directly or indirectly, or had an interest in, a portfolio of 501 developed properties located in the U.S., Canada, and the United Kingdom including 284 MH communities, 164 RV communities, and 53 UK communities.

Previous wording
In addition to the results reported in accordance with GAAP in our "Results of Operations" below, we have provided information regarding net operating income ("NOI") and funds from operations ("FFO") as supplemental performance measures. We believe NOI and FFO are appropriate measures given their wide use by and relevance to investors and analysts following the real estate industry. NOI provides a measure of rental operations and does not factor in depreciation, amortization, and non-property specific expenses such as general and administrative expenses. FFO, reflecting the assumption that real estate values rise or fall with market conditions, principally adjusts for the effects of GAAP depreciation / amortization of real estate assets. In addition, NOI, and FFO are commonly used in various ratios, pricing multiples / yields and returns, and valuation calculations used to measure financial position, performance, and value.

We believe 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 our financial performance or GAAP cash flow from operating activities as a measure of our liquidity; nor is it indicative of funds available for our cash needs, including our 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 the performance and growth of our Same Property portfolio. We define same properties as those we have owned and operated continuously since January 1, 2024. Same properties exclude ground-up development properties, acquired properties, properties classified as discontinued operations, and properties sold after December 31, 2023. The Same Property data may change from time-to-time depending on acquisitions, dispositions, management discretion, significant transactions, or unique situations. Same Property NOI does not include the revenues and expenses related to home sales and ancillary activities at the properties. We believe 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 - This is a key management tool used when evaluating the performance and growth of our Same Property portfolio. We define same properties as those we have owned and operated continuously since January 1, 2025. Same properties exclude ground-up development properties, acquired properties, properties classified as discontinued operations, properties impacted by catastrophic weather events, and properties sold after December 31, 2024. The Same Property data may change from time-to-time depending on acquisitions, dispositions, management discretion, significant transactions, or unique situations. Same Property NOI does not include the revenues and expenses related to home sales and ancillary activities at the properties. We believe 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. For the UK segment, we present Same Property NOI growth rate information on a constant currency basis to provide a framework for assessing how our underlying properties performed after excluding the effects of changes in exchange rates. We believe that the presentation of UK Same Property NOI on a constant currency basis helps to improve the ability to understand our performance because it excludes the effects of foreign currency volatility which are not indicative of our core operating results in the region.
Previous wording
FFO is defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("Nareit") 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 our operating performance. By excluding gains and losses related to sales of previously depreciated operating real estate assets, real estate related to 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, we use FFO excluding certain gain and loss items that management considers unrelated to the operational and financial performance of our core business ("Core FFO"). These adjustments include acquisition and other transaction costs, gains and losses from the early extinguishment of debt, costs related to catastrophic weather events, net of insurance recoveries, gains and losses on foreign currency exchanges, and other miscellaneous non-comparable items.

Core FFO - In addition to FFO, we use FFO excluding certain gain and loss items that management considers unrelated to the operational and financial performance of our core business ("Core FFO") to evaluate our performance.

Previous wording
We believe that FFO and Core FFO provide enhanced comparability for investor evaluations of period-over-period results. We believe 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 our 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 our interpretation of standards established by Nareit, which may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs that interpret the Nareit definition differently.

We take a disciplined approach to selecting the optimal mix of financing sources to meet our liquidity demands and minimize our overall cost of capital. During the three months ended June 30, 2025, we completed the initial closing of the Safe Harbor Sale, which generated pre-tax cash proceeds of approximately $5.25 billion, net of transaction costs. Subsequent to the initial closing through August 29, 2025, we completed the sale of 15 Delayed Consent Subsidiaries for $254.2 million and fully divested our investment in the Safe Harbor business. The Safe Harbor Sale advances our strategy of focusing on our core MH and RV segments and enhances our leverage profile and financial flexibility. We have deployed the cash proceeds from the Safe Harbor Sale to implement a capital allocation plan that reflects a balanced, tax-efficient approach to optimize shareholder value through significantly lower leverage, greater financial flexibility to drive sustainable cash flow growth, and a thoughtful capital return strategy. We intend to maintain our strong financial position and lower leverage profile by focusing on our core fundamentals, which are generating positive cash flows from operations, maintaining appropriate debt levels and leverage ratios, and controlling overhead costs.
