(NYSE: SUI) (the Company), a real estate investment trust (REIT) that owns and operates, or has an interest in, manufactured housing (MH) and recreational vehicle (RV) communities, today reported its third quarter results for 2020.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Portfolio Performance

Gary Shiffman, Chief Executive Officer of Sun Communities stated, The growth we delivered in the third quarter demonstrated the resilience of our platform and our ongoing positive operational momentum. Once again, our results were ahead of expectations as solid top line revenue performance and certain expense savings continued to mitigate the impact of the pandemic. We achieved same community NOI growth of 5.5 percent and added 776 revenue producing sites, boosting our occupancy by 50 basis points. Our RV resorts were exceptionally strong, as travelers elected drive-to vacation options and took advantage of our varied vacation destinations featuring lakes, mountains and beaches.

Mr. Shiffman continued, Despite the present challenges of the pandemic, we remain focused on positioning Sun for the future. During the quarter we acquired five RV and two MH communities as we continue to expand our portfolio. We are particularly excited about our pending acquisition of Safe Harbor Marinas, LLC and the integration of marinas onto our platform which should further enhance Suns growth profile over the long term.

Pending Transaction - Safe Harbor Marinas

On September 29, 2020, the Company entered into a merger agreement to acquire Safe Harbor Marinas, LLC (Safe Harbor) for approximately $2.1 billion. As of September 30, 2020, Safe Harbor directly or indirectly owned 101 marinas and managed five other marinas for third-party owners. The marinas collectively contain approximately 30,000 wet slips and moorings and approximately 8,300 dry racks, with approximately 9,500 additional spaces available for outside land storage. The marinas are located in 22 states in the Northeast, South, Mid-Atlantic, West and Midwest Regions of the United States, with the majority of such marinas concentrated in coastal regions and others located in various inland regions. The purchase price will be paid through a combination of the assumption of debt owed by Safe Harbor, the issuance of common and preferred OP units by the Companys Operating Partnership, and cash. We expect to acquire Safe Harbor no later than October 30, 2020. The consummation of the $2.1 billion acquisition is subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions. If these conditions are not satisfied or waived, or if the merger agreement is otherwise terminated in accordance with its terms, then the acquisition will not be consummated. As a result, there can be no assurances as to the actual closing or the timing of the closing.

Construction Activity

During the quarter ended September 30, 2020, the Company completed the construction of nearly 660 sites in four ground-up developments and one redevelopment community, and nearly 25 expansion sites in one RV community.

BALANCE SHEET AND CAPITAL MARKETS ACTIVITY

Debt Transactions

As of September 30, 2020, the Company had $3.3 billion of debt outstanding. The weighted average interest rate was 3.9 percent and the weighted average maturity was 11.4 years. The Company had $102.4 million of unrestricted cash on hand. At period-end the Companys net debt to trailing twelve-month Recurring EBITDA(1) ratio was 5.0 times.

Subsequent to the quarter ended September 30, 2020, the Company entered into a new $260.0 million term loan secured by 11 properties. The loan term is 12-years and the interest rate is fixed at 2.64 percent.

Equity Transactions

On September 30, 2020, the Company entered into two forward sale agreements relating to an underwritten registered public offering of 9,200,000 shares of the Companys common stock at a public offering price of $139.50 per share. The offering closed on October 5, 2020. The Company did not initially receive any proceeds from the sale of shares of its common stock in the offering. The Company expects to physically settle the forward sale agreements (by the delivery of shares of its common stock) and receive proceeds from the sale of those shares of its common stock upon one or more forward settlement dates no later than October 5, 2021. The Company may also elect to cash settle or net share settle all or a portion of its obligations under the forward sale agreements if it concludes it is in its best interest to do so. If the Company elects to cash settle or net settle the forward sale agreements it may not receive any proceeds. If the Company fully physically settles the forward sale agreements, it expects to receive net proceeds of approximately $1.23 billion. The Company intends to use the net proceeds, if any, received upon the settlement of the forward sale agreements to fund the cash component of the purchase price for the Safe Harbor acquisition. If for any reason the Safe Harbor acquisition is not consummated, or if the net proceeds, if any, received upon the future settlement of the forward sale agreements exceed the cash component of the purchase price, the Company intends to use any such net proceeds to repay borrowings outstanding under the revolving loan under its senior credit facility, to fund possible future acquisitions of properties and for working capital and general corporate purposes.

COVID-19 FINANCIAL IMPACT

Given the uncertainty surrounding the impact from the COVID-19 pandemic on its operations, the Company has withdrawn full year 2020 operational and financial guidance previously provided on February 19, 2020.

For the third quarter of 2020, the Company had a net benefit of approximately $4.6 million from its original budget as compared to a forecasted net reduction of up to $15.0 million outlined during the Companys second quarter earnings release. The improvement was primarily due to better than expected transient RV revenues, ancillary activities gross profit and lower property level payroll.

The Company expects fourth quarter 2020 Core FFO to be in the range of $1.08 to $1.12 per share.

This estimate range is inclusive of the Companys latest revenue expectations for transient RV revenue, the estimated two-month contribution from the Safe Harbor acquisition, the impact from the Companys 9.2 million share forward equity offering and announced financing activities. The forecast does not include any additional prospective acquisition or capital market activity.

Footnotes and Definitions



-- Investors in and analysts following the real estate industry utilize funds from operations (FFO), net operating income (NOI), and earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) as supplemental performance measures. The Company believes that FFO, NOI, and EBITDA are appropriate measures given their wide use by and relevance to investors and analysts. Additionally, FFO, NOI, and EBITDA are commonly used in various ratios, pricing multiples, yields and returns and valuation calculations used to measure financial position, performance and value. FFO, reflecting the assumption that real estate values rise or fall with market conditions, principally adjusts for the effects of generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) depreciation and amortization of real estate assets.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 and to fund dividends and other cash needs.

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 depreciable operating property, plus real estate related depreciation and amortization, 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 Companys operating performance. By excluding gains and losses related to sales of previously depreciated operating real estate assets, impairment and excluding 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. The Company also uses FFO excluding certain gain and loss items that management considers unrelated to the operational and financial performance of our 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 performance measure or GAAP cash flow from operations as a liquidity measure. 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. Further, FFO is not intended as a measure of a REITs ability to meet debt principal repayments and other cash requirements, nor as a measure of working capital. FFO is calculated in accordance with the Companys interpretation of standards established by NAREIT, which may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs that interpret the NAREIT definition differently.

NOI is derived from revenues minus property operating expenses and real estate taxes. 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 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 Companys financial performance or GAAP cash flow from operating activities as a measure of the Companys liquidity; nor is it indicative of funds available for the Companys 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.

EBITDA as defined by NAREIT (referred to as EBITDAre) is calculated 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 entitys 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. The Company also uses EBITDAre excluding certain gain and loss items that management considers unrelated to measurement of the Companys 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 Companys cash generated by operations or its dividend-paying capacity, and should therefore not replace GAAP net income (loss) as an indication of the Companys financial performance or GAAP cash flow from operating, investing and financing activities as measures of liquidity.

(2) Same Community results reflect constant currency for comparative purposes. Canadian currency figures in the prior comparative period have been translated at 2020 average exchange rates.

(3) The Same Community occupancy percentage is 97.2 percent for MH, 100.0 percent for RV, and 97.8 percent for the blended MH and RV. The MH and RV blended occupancy is derived from 111,838 developed sites, of which 109,421 were occupied. The Same Community occupancy percentage for 2019 has been adjusted to reflect incremental period-over-period growth from filled expansion sites and the conversion of transient RV sites to annual RV sites. The adjusted Same Community occupancy percentage for 2020 is derived from 110,773 developed sites, of which 109,421 were occupied. The number of developed sites excludes RV transient sites and approximately 1,100 recently completed but vacant MH expansion sites.

(4) The effect of certain anti-dilutive convertible securities is excluded from these items.

(5) Net leased sites do not include occupied sites acquired during that year.

(6) Lines of credit and other debt includes the Companys MH floor plan facility. The effective interest rate on the MH floor plan facility was 6.0 percent for the quarters ended September 30 and June 30, 2020, and 7.0 percent for the quarters ended March 31, 2020, and December 31 and September 30, 2019. However, the Company pays no interest if the floor plan balance is repaid within 60 days.

(7) Other expense, net was as follows (in thousands):

(433 ) (42 ) termination expenseOther expense, net $ (2,524 ) $ (1,362 ) $ (3,378 ) $ (1,524 )

(8) These costs represent the expenses incurred to bring recently acquired properties up to the Companys operating standards, including items such as tree trimming and painting costs that do not meet the Companys capitalization policy.

(9) Core FFO(1) includes an adjustment of $(0.3)million and zero for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and $(0.4) million and zero for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, for estimated loss of earnings in excess of the applicable business interruption deductible in relation to the Companys Florida Keys communities that required redevelopment due to damages sustained from Hurricane Irma in September 2017.

(10) The renters monthly payment includes the site rent and an amount attributable to the home lease. The site rent is reflected in Real Property Operations segment revenue. For purposes of management analysis, site rent is included in Rental Program revenue to evaluate the incremental revenue gains associated with the Rental Program, and to assess the overall growth and performance of the Rental Program and financial impact on the Companys operations.

(11) This is a transferred asset transaction which has been classified as collateralized receivables and the cash received from this transaction has been classified as a secured borrowing. The interest income and interest expense accrue at the same rate and amount. In November 2019, the Company derecognized thetransferred financial assets and secured borrowing as legal isolation criteria to be accounted for as a true sale were satisfied pursuant to the terms of the purchase agreement.

(12) Same Community results net $10.1 million and $8.9 million of certain utility revenue against the related utility expense in property operating and maintenance expense for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Same Community results net $28.4 million and $25.8 million of utility revenue against the related utility expense in property operating and maintenance expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

(13) Same Community supplies and repair expense excludes $0.2 million and $0.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, ofexpenses incurred for recently acquired properties to bring the properties up to the Companys operating standards, including items such as tree trimming and painting costs that do not meet the Companys capitalization policy.

(14) Monthly base rent per site pertains to annual RV sites and excludes transient RV sites.

(15) Calculated using actual results without rounding.

(16) Acquisitions and other is comprised of 11 properties acquired and three properties that the Company has an interest in, but does not operate in 2020, 42 properties acquired in 2019, one property being operated under a temporary use permit, three Florida Keys properties that require redevelopment as a result of damage sustained from Hurricane Irma in 2017, five recently opened ground-up developments, one property undergoing redevelopment, and other miscellaneous transactions and activity.

(17) Includes MH and annual RV sites, and excludes transient RV sites, as applicable.

(18) As of September 30, 2020, total portfolio MH occupancy was 96.4 percent inclusive of the impact of approximately 1,400 recently constructed but vacant MH expansion sites, and annual RV occupancy was 100.0 percent.

(19) Total sites for development were comprised of approximately 76.1 percent for expansion, 22.2 percent for greenfield development and 1.7 percent for redevelopment.

(20) Recurring capital expenditures are necessary to maintain asset quality, including purchasing and replacing assets used to operate the community. These capital expenditures include items such as: major road, driveway, pool improvements; clubhouse renovations; adding or replacing street lights; playground equipment; signage; maintenance facilities; manager housing and property vehicles. The minimum capitalized amount is five hundred dollars.

(21) Lot modification capital expenditures improve the asset quality of the community. These costs are incurred when an existing older home moves out, and the site is prepared for a new home, more often than not, a multi-sectional home. These activities, which are mandated by strict manufacturers installation requirements and state building code, include items such as new foundations, driveways, and utility upgrades.

(22) Capital expenditures related to acquisitions represent the purchase price of existing operating communities and land parcels to develop expansions or new communities. These costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 include $28.5 million of capital improvements identified during due diligence that are necessary to bring the communities to the Companys operating standards. For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, these costs were $50.7 million and $94.6 million, respectively. These include items such as: upgrading clubhouses; landscaping; new street light systems; new mail delivery systems; pool renovation including larger decks, heaters, and furniture; new maintenance facilities; and new signage including main signs and internal road signs. These are considered acquisition costs and although identified during due diligence, often require 24 to 36 months after closing to complete.

(23) Expansion and development expenditures consist primarily of construction costs and costs necessary to complete home site improvements, such as driveways, sidewalks and landscaping.

(24) Capital costs related to revenue generating activities consist primarily of garages, sheds, sub-metering of water, sewer and electricity. Revenue generating attractions at our RV resorts are also included here and, occasionally, a special capital project requested by residents and accompanied by an extra rental increase will be classified as revenue producing.

Certain financial information has been revised to reflect reclassifications in prior periods to conform to current period presentation.
