Southfield, MI, Oct. 26, 2026 (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 (collectively, the “properties”), today reported its third quarter results for 2026.

Financial Results for the Quarter and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2026

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

“We delivered another strong quarter of continued progress, with results exceeding our expectations, led by continued strength in manufactured housing,” said Charles Young, Chief Executive Officer. “In September, we completed the sale of our UK business and have been disciplined in putting the proceeds to work primarily repurchasing shares, along with other investment and balance sheet activity. We are ideally positioned around the durable demand for attainable housing and affordable vacationing, and we continue to optimize our platform while investing in our people, technology and communities. With 2027 expected rental rate increases coming in above 2026 levels, we enter next year with a solid foundation in our core business and Sun is a simpler, more focused company with a clearer path to long-term value creation.”

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 5, “Acquisition and other transaction costs - continuing operations” represent (a) nonrecurring integration expenses associated with acquisitions during the quarters and nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, (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 (d) other non-recurring transaction costs. Within this same reconciliation on page 5, “Acquisition and other transaction costs - discontinued operations” primarily represent non-recurring transaction costs that are directly attributable to the Park Holidays Sale and the Safe Harbor Sale and nonrecurring integration expenses associated with previous UK and marina acquisitions.

Adjusted Blended Occupancy - Occupancy percentage after adjusting for recently delivered and vacant expansion sites.

Asset Impairments - In the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations on page 4, the Company recorded asset impairment charges of $17.2 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2026, primarily consisting of charges to reduce the carrying value of one RV property in Texas, driven by a reduction in projected future cash flows for the impaired property.

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

Capital improvements subsequent to acquisition often require 24 to 36 months to complete after closing. At MH and RV properties, capital improvements include upgrading clubhouses; landscaping; new street lighting 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.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash - Includes cash and cash equivalents of $40.4 million as of September 30, 2026, that was held in escrow accounts and restricted from general use.

Discontinued Operations:

Park Holidays Sale - In May 2026, the Company entered into an agreement to sell Park Holidays, which represents a strategic shift in operations that will have a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results. Accordingly, the results of the UK business and assets and liabilities included in the disposition are presented as discontinued operations for all periods presented herein.

On September 22, 2026, the Company closed the Park Holidays Sale, which generated cash proceeds of $1.03 billion, net of closing and employee separation costs. As a result, as of September 30, 2026, the Company has fully divested its investment in the UK business. As previously reported, during the quarter ended June 30, 2026, the Company recorded a non-cash valuation allowance of $1.1 billion against the assets held for sale to reduce the carrying value of the UK business to the estimated fair value less costs to sell. During the quarter ended September 30, 2026, the Company recorded an increase to the valuation allowance and loss on disposal of $50.6 million. Each respective change to the valuation allowance was recorded within Income / (loss) from discontinued operations, net on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Safe Harbor Sale - In 2025, the Company entered into the Safe Harbor Sale, which represented a strategic shift in operations. Accordingly, the results of the Safe Harbor business have been reflected as discontinued operations on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations through the final transaction closing date of August 29, 2025.

The following table sets forth a summary of the operating results included within Income / (loss) from discontinued operations, net on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations (in millions):

The Company concluded that $36.5 million of the total settlement pertained to business interruption recoveries through 2027, which the Company recorded as a contingent gain in accordance with ASC 450, “Contingencies.” To better reflect the underlying economics of the transaction, the Company has elected to defer the business interruption recovery gain and recognize income ratably through 2027 for the Company’s presentation of Core FFO.

Non-GAAP Supplemental Measures

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

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.

EBITDAre provides a further measure to evaluate the Company’s ability to incur and service debt; EBITDAre 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.

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.

The Company believes that FFO and Core FFO provide 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.
