PART I
Item 1. Business
Equity LifeStyle Properties, Inc.
General
Equity LifeStyle Properties, Inc. (“ELS”), a Maryland corporation, together with MHC Operating Limited Partnership (the “Operating Partnership”) and its other consolidated subsidiaries (the “Subsidiaries”), are referred to herein as “we,” “us,” and “our”. We are a fully integrated owner of lifestyle-oriented properties (“Properties”) consisting of property operations and home sales and rental operations primarily within manufactured home (“MH”) and recreational vehicle (“RV”) communities and marinas. We were formed in December 1992 to continue the property operations, business objectives and acquisition strategies of an entity that had owned and operated Properties since 1969. Commencing with our taxable year ended December 31, 1993, we have elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
We have a unique business model where we own the land which we lease to customers who own manufactured homes and cottages, RVs and/or boats either on a long-term or short-term basis. Our customers may lease individual developed areas (“Sites”) or enter into right-to-use contracts, also known as membership subscriptions, which provide them access to specific Properties for limited stays. Compared to other types of real estate companies, our business model is characterized by low maintenance costs and low customer turnover costs. Our portfolio is geographically diversified across highly desirable locations near retirement and vacation destinations and urban areas across the United States. We have more than 110 Properties with lake, river or ocean frontage and more than 120 Properties within 10 miles of the coastal United States. Our Properties generally attract retirees, vacationing families, second homeowners and first-time homebuyers by providing a community experience and a lower-cost home ownership alternative.
We are one of the nation's largest real estate networks with a portfolio of 444451 Properties (including joint venture Properties) consisting of 169,296172,465 Sites located throughout 35 states in the U.S. and British Columbia in Canada as of December 31, 2021.2023.

Our Properties are generally designed and improved for housing options of various sizes and layouts that are produced off-site by third-party manufacturers, installed and set on designated Sites within the Properties. Manufactured homes and cottages can range from approximately 400 to over 2,000 square feet. Properties may also have Sites that can accommodate RVs of varying sizes. We also have marinas that offer boat slip and dry storage rentals. In addition to centralized entrances, internal road systems and designated Sites, our Properties generally provide a clubhouse for social activities and recreation and other amenities, which can include swimming pools, shuffleboard courts, tennis courts, pickleball courts, golf courses, lawn bowling, restaurants, laundry facilities, cable television and internet service. Some Properties provide utilities, including water and sewer service, through municipal or regulated utilities, while others provide these services to customers from on-site facilities.
Our Formation
Our Properties are primarily owned by our Operating Partnership and managed internally by affiliates of our Operating Partnership. We are the general partner of the Operating Partnership. We contributed the proceeds from our various equity offerings, including our initial public offering, to the Operating Partnership. In exchange for these contributions, we received units of common interests in the partnership (“OP Units”) equal to the number of shares of common stock that have been issued in such equity offerings.
We have elected to be taxed as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Since certain activities, if performed by us, may not be qualifying REIT activities under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), we have formed taxable REIT subsidiaries (each, a “TRS”). Our primary TRS is Realty Systems, Inc. (“RSI”) which, along with owning several Properties, is engaged in the business of purchasing, selling and leasing factory-built homes located in Properties owned and managed by us. RSI also offers home sale brokerage services to our residents who may choose to sell their homes rather than relocate them when moving from a Property. Subsidiaries of RSI also operate ancillary activities at certain Properties, such as golf courses, pro shops, stores and restaurants.
The financial results of the Operating Partnership and Subsidiaries are included in our consolidated financial statements, which can be found beginning on page F-1 of this Form 10-K.
Operating Strategies
Our operating strategy is to own and operate the highest quality Properties in sought-after locations near retirement and vacation destinations and urban areas across the United States. Through management of desirable Properties that provide an exceptional customer experience, we create communities valued by residents and guests while delivering value for stockholders.
We focus on Properties that have strong cash flows and plan to hold such Properties for long-term investment and capital appreciation. In determining cash flow potential, we evaluate our ability to attract high quality customers to our Properties and to retain customers who take pride in the Property and in their homes. Our operating, investment and financing initiatives include:
Consistently providing high levels of services and amenities in attractive surroundings to foster a strong sense of community and pride of home ownership;
Efficiently managing the Properties to add value, grow occupancy, maintain competitive market rents and control expenses;
Incorporating environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) considerations into our business and ensuring sustainability is embedded in our business operations;
Achieving growth and increasing property values through strategic expansion and, where appropriate, renovation of the Properties;
Utilizing technology to evaluate potential acquisitions, identify and track competing properties, attract new customers and monitor existing and prospective customer satisfaction;
Selectively acquiring properties that offer opportunities for us to add value and enhance or create property concentrations in and around retirement or vacation destinations and urban areas to capitalize on operating synergies;
Selectively acquiring parcels of land adjacent to our Properties that offer opportunities for us to expand our existing communities with additional Sites;
Selecting joint venture partners that share business objectives, growth initiatives and risk profiles similar to ours;
Managing our capital structure in order to maintain financial flexibility, minimize exposure to interest rate fluctuations and maintain an appropriate degree of leverage to maximize return on capital; and
Developing and maintaining relationships with various capital providers.
2


These initiatives and their implementation were determined by our management team and ratified by our Board of Directors and may be subject to change or amendment at any time.
Acquisitions and Dispositions
We invest in properties in sought-after locations near retirement and vacation destinations and urban areas across the United States with a focus on delivering value for residents and guests as well as stockholders. Over the last decade, we have continued to increase the number of Properties in our portfolio (including joint venture Properties), from approximately 377 Properties with over 139,000 Sites to 451 Properties with approximately 172,500 Sites as of December 31, 2023. During the year ended December 31, 2023, we acquired one RV community. We also acquired two land parcels adjacent to certain Properties consisting of approximately two developable acres. We continually review the Properties in our portfolio to ensure we are delivering on our business and customer service objectives. Over the last five years, we redeployed capital to Properties in markets we believe have greater long-term potential and sold five all-age MH communities located in Indiana and Michigan that were not aligned with our long-term goals.
We believe there continues to be opportunities for property acquisitions. Based on industry reports, we estimate there are approximately 50,000 MH properties and approximately 8,700 RV properties (excluding government owned properties) in North America and approximately 4,500 marinas in the U.S. Many of these properties are not operated by large owners/operators and approximately 3,800 of the MH properties, 1,300 of the RV properties and 500 of the marinas contain 200 sites or more. We believe this fragmentation provides us the opportunity to purchase additional properties. We also believe we have a competitive advantage in the acquisition of additional properties due to our experienced management, significant presence in major real estate markets and access to capital resources. We utilize market information systems to identify and evaluate acquisition opportunities, including the use of a market database to review the primary economic indicators of the various locations in which we expect to expand our operations. We are actively seeking to acquire and at any given time are engaged in various stages of negotiations relating to the possible acquisition of additional properties, which may include outstanding contracts to acquire properties that are subject to the satisfactory completion of our due diligence review.
Acquisitions will be financed with the most efficient available sources of capital, which may include undistributed Funds from Operations (“FFO”), issuance of additional equity securities, including under an at-the-market (“ATM”) equity offering program that we expect to put in place shortly, sales of investments and collateralized and uncollateralized borrowings, including our existing line of credit. In addition, we have acquired and expect to acquire properties in transactions that include the issuance of OP Units as consideration for the acquired properties. We believe that an acquisition structure that includes our Operating Partnership has permitted and will permit us to acquire additional properties in transactions that may defer all or a portion of the sellers' tax consequences.
When evaluating potential acquisitions, we consider, among others, the following factors:
Current and projected cash flows of the property;
Geographic area and the type of property;
Replacement cost of the property, including land values, entitlements and zoning;
Location, construction quality, condition and design of the property, including vacant land and its location relative to one or more of our existing properties;
Potential for capital appreciation of the property;
Terms of tenant leases or usage rights;
Climate risk;
REIT tax compliance;
Sellers' reputation;
Opportunity to enhance the customer experience and add value through management expertise;
Potential for economies of scale through property concentrations;
Potential for economic growth and the tax and regulatory environment of the community in which the property is located;
Potential for expansion, including increasing the number of Sites;
Occupancy and demand by customers for properties of a similar type in the vicinity;
Prospects for liquidity through sale, financing or refinancing of the property;
Competition from existing properties and the potential for the construction of new properties in the area; and
Working capital demands.
When evaluating potential dispositions, we consider, among others, the following factors:
Whether the Property meets our current investment criteria;
3


Our desire to exit certain non-core markets and reallocate the capital into core markets; and
Our ability to sell the Property at a price that we believe will provide an appropriate return for our stockholders.
When investing capital, we consider all potential uses of the capital, including returning capital to our stockholders. Our Board of Directors periodically reviews the conditions under which we may repurchase our stock. These conditions include, but are not limited to, market price, balance sheet flexibility, other opportunities and capital requirements.
Property Expansions
Development - Current Portfolio. An integral part of our growth and investment strategy is to evaluate each Property for expansion opportunities. Investment evaluation consists of reviewing the following: local market conditions, demographic trends, zoning and entitlements, infrastructure requirements, financial feasibility, projected performance and property operations. When justified, development of land available for expansion (“Expansion Sites”) allows us to leverage existing facilities and amenities. We believe our ability to increase density translates to greater value creation and cash flows through operational efficiencies. Overall, approximately 124 of our Properties have potential Expansion Sites, offering approximately 6,500 available acres. Refer to Item 2. Properties, which includes detail regarding the developable acres available at each property.
Acquisition - Expanding Portfolio. In selecting acquisition targets, we focus on properties with existing operations in place and contiguous Expansion Sites. Underwriting a project with these features allows us to access the previously untapped potential of such properties. For example, over the past three years, we have acquired 31 Properties and 7 land parcels that contain approximately 1,000 acres for future expansion.
Human Capital ManagementAcquisitions and Dispositions
We recognize that our success is driven by our employees. We invest in our employees and are committed to developing our employees’ skills and leadership abilities. As a result, we believe our employees are dedicated to building strong, innovative and long-term relationships with each other and with our residents and guests.
We have an annual average of approximately 4,100 full-time, part-time and seasonal employees dedicated to carrying out our operating philosophy while focusing on delivering an exceptional customer experience for our residents and guests. Our property operations are managed internally by affiliates of the Operating Partnership and are coordinated by an on-site team of employees that typically includes a manager, clerical staff and maintenance workers.
The on-site team at each Property is primarily responsible for providing maintenance and care to the property itself as well as customer service and at times, coordinating lifestyle-oriented activities for our residents and guests. Direct supervision of on-site management is the responsibility of our regional vice presidents and regional and district managers, who have substantial experience addressing customer needs and creating innovative approaches to provide an exceptional experience for residents and guests, which we believe also creates value for our stockholders, through focused and effective property management. Complementing the field management staff are approximately 500 full-time employees in our home and regional offices who assist in all functions related to the management of our Properties.
We are committed to attracting and retaining a diverse workforce and to providing a safe and inclusive environment where our team members are encouraged to demonstrate their unique skill sets and bring a personal touch to their work. We are committed to maintaining workplaces free from discrimination or harassment on the basis of color, race, sex, national origin, ethnicity, religion, age, disability, sexual orientation, gender identification or expression or any other status protected by applicable law. We value the many contributions of a diverse workforce and understand that diverse backgrounds bring diverse perspectives, resulting in unique insights.
We provide equal employment opportunities to all persons, in accordance with the principles and requirements of the Equal Employment Opportunities Commission and the principles and requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act. As of December 31, 2021, more than 50% of our workforce self-identified as female and more than 50% of our management positions are held by individuals self-identifying as female. To attract diverse applicants, we have partnered with third parties and post openings to a wide variety of job boards. We also have an annual internship program designed to, among other things, create a pipeline of qualified candidates for positions within the Company and to attract diverse candidates. We recognize the importance of experienced leadership and as of December 31, 2021, the average tenure for the executive team was 16 years. The average age of our team members is 49, with ages spanning multiple generations, similar to our residents and guests.
ELS is a place where talent is recognized and internal growth is promoted. Our employees are fairly compensated, without regard to gender, race and ethnicity and routinely recognized for outstanding performance. Our compensation program is designed to attract and retain talent. We continually assess and strive to enhance employee satisfaction and engagement. All employees are supported with a strong training and development program and a well-rounded benefits plan to help them maintain their health and financial well-being. Employees are offered flexibility to meet personal and family needs.
Whether we are working with customers or vendors, our actions are guided by a clear set of established principles. We hold ourselves accountable for ethical business practices. All employees, management and our Board of Directors are expected to act with honesty, integrity, fairness and respect. To support this culture, all team members receive annual compliance training focused on compliant and ethical interactions with peers, residents, guests, vendors and others in our communities and offices.
Providing a safe and healthy work environment for our team members is a top priority and we empower them to take ownership in this effort. Each employee is assigned a safety-related training curriculum tailored to their job responsibilities. All employees are encouraged to report any conditions in their workplace that raise health or safety concerns without fear of retaliation.
2


In addition to foundational safety and compliance training, team members participate in virtual and in-person learning experiences including formal new employee and manager development programs, a “Knowledge Power Day” program providing office-based employees an opportunity to be fully immersed in the day-to-day operations at our communities, customer experience training focused on varying elements that support our values for property team members and diversity, equity and inclusion programs to support the sense of belonging, awareness and connection at ELS. We encourage our employees to take time away from work to focus on their physical and mental well-being and offer a comprehensive benefit package that includes five mental health and well-being days, paid parental and paid family leave programs that exceed minimum regulatory requirements and paid volunteer time off. In addition, we offer a competitive 401(k) plan that provides for an employer match of up to 4% with 100% vesting of all contributions immediately upon eligibility and an Employee Stock Purchase Plan providing a 15% discount for all eligible employees.

Acquisitions will be financed fromwith the most efficient available sources of capital, which may include undistributed Funds from Operations (“FFO”), issuance of additional equity securities, including under ouran at-the-market (“ATM”) equity offering program that we expect to put in place shortly, sales of investments and collateralized and uncollateralized borrowings, including our existing line of credit and issuance of debt securities.credit. In addition, we have acquired and expect to acquire properties in transactions that include the issuance of OP Units as consideration for the acquired properties. We believe that an acquisition structure that includes our Operating Partnership has permitted and will permit us to acquire additional properties in transactions that may defer all or a portion of the sellers' tax consequences.
When evaluating potential acquisitions, we consider, among others, the following factors:
Current and projected cash flows of the property;
Geographic area and the type of property;
Replacement cost of the property, including land values, entitlements and zoning;
Location, construction quality, condition and design of the property, including vacant land and its location relative to one or more of our existing properties;
Potential for capital appreciation of the property;
Terms of tenant leases or usage rights;
Climate risk;
REIT tax compliance;
Sellers' reputation;
Opportunity to enhance the customer experience and add value through management expertise;
Potential for economies of scale through property concentrations;
Potential for economic growth and the tax and regulatory environment of the community in which the property is located;
Potential for expansion, including increasing the number of Sites;
Occupancy and demand by customers for properties of a similar type in the vicinity;
Prospects for liquidity through sale, financing or refinancing of the property;
Competition from existing properties and the potential for the construction of new properties in the area; and
Working capital demands.

When evaluating potential dispositions, we consider, among others, the following factors:
Whether the Property meets our current investment criteria;
3


Our desire to exit certain non-core markets and reallocate the capital into core markets; and
Our ability to sell the Property at a price that we believe will provide an appropriate return for our stockholders.
When investing capital, we consider all potential uses of the capital, including returning capital to our stockholders. Our Board of Directors periodically reviews the conditions under which we may repurchase our stock. These conditions include, but are not limited to, market price, balance sheet flexibility, other opportunities and capital requirements.
Property Expansions
Development - Current Portfolio. An integral part of our growth and investment strategy is to evaluate each Property for expansion opportunities. Investment evaluation consists of reviewing the following: local market conditions, demographic trends, zoning and entitlements, infrastructure requirements, financial feasibility, projected performance and property operations. When justified, development of land available for expansion (“Expansion Sites”) allows us to leverage existing facilities and amenities. We believe our ability to increase density translates to greater value creation and cash flows through operational efficiencies. Overall, approximately 123124 of our Properties and four land parcels have potential Expansion Sites, offering approximately 6,500 available acres. Refer to Item 2. Properties, which includes detail regarding the developable acres available at each property.
Acquisition - Expanding Portfolio. In selecting acquisition targets, we focus on properties with existing operations in place and contiguous Expansion Sites. Underwriting a project with these features allows us to access the previously untapped potential of such properties. For example, over the past three years, we have acquired 4131 Properties four non-operating ground up development assets and 117 land parcels that contain approximately 1,5001,000 acres for future expansion.
Human Capital Management
We recognize that our success is driven by our employees. We invest in our employees and are committed to developing our employees’ skills and leadership abilities. As a result, we believe our employees are dedicated to building strong, innovative and long-term relationships with each other and with our residents and guests.
We have an annual average of approximately 4,000 full-time, part-time and seasonal employees dedicated to carrying out our operating philosophy while focusing on delivering an exceptional customer experience for our residents and guests. Our property operations are managed internally by affiliates of the Operating Partnership and are coordinated by an on-site team of employees that typically includes a manager, clerical staff and maintenance workers.
The on-site team at each Property is primarily responsible for providing maintenance and care to the property itself as well as customer service and, at times, coordinating lifestyle-oriented activities for our residents and guests. Direct supervision of on-site management is the responsibility of our regional vice presidents and regional and district managers, who have substantial experience addressing customer needs and creating innovative approaches to provide an exceptional experience for residents and guests, which we believe also creates value for our stockholders, through focused and effective property management. Complementing the field management staff are approximately 500 full-time employees in our home and regional offices who assist in all functions related to the management of our Properties.

communities and utilized over 8,500 Community Impact hours during the year ended December 31, 2023. Making a positive impact in the greater communities in which we operate not only helps us make a difference in the lives of others, but also enhances our knowledge of and connection to the people and places we serve. Throughout our Properties across North America, we work to create a comfortable and welcoming environment for everyone – residents, guests and employees. People helping people is the norm, and our Making a Difference in Our Communities program is designed to foster and support these acts of goodwill, generosity and neighborly care. Our strategic sponsorships leverage our communities to give back. Funded through the generosity of our employees and friends of ELS, ConsiderOthers is a 501(c)(3) non-profit

charity that provides financial and other assistance to our residents and employees. Our Making a Difference in Our Communities initiative supports the generosity given in response to COVID-19. From creating care packages, to delivering hot meals, to making face masks and more, we have seen so many examples of neighbors reaching out to help neighbors, working together to help first responders and providing benefit to their greater communities. These acts of kindness enhance the bonds our customers have with each other and to our communities. We are proud to help foster these efforts in our communities.
Our Places. Our Properties are located where our customers aspire to be – where they want to live, work and grow, where they want to retire or raise their family and where they want to vacation and spend their valued leisure time. We consider it a great responsibility to own and operate lifestyle-oriented properties among diverse landscapes and natural habitats and to ensure our properties remain desirable destinations for future generations. We are committed to maintaining biodiversity across our portfolio and operating assets that are connected to their local and natural environments. As a result, the consideration of environmental factors has always been part of our culture in the daily operation of our business.
Through sustainable practices,Our Journey at ELS encompasses a three-part strategy to manage our impact, while also focusing on how we can provide environmental benefit beyond our own operations. Our focus is on reducing operational impact, enabling customer impact and enhancing positive impact. Underpinning Our Journey is a practice of continual innovation. We aim to reduce emissions from our operations through our investments in resource conservation, efficiency and renewable energy programs. We enable customer conservation and efficiency by providing recycling and composting offerings, promoting water and energy reduction through education and technology and pursuing community-level certifications and procuring ENERGY STAR® certified homes to save our residents money and energy. We are committed to preserving biodiversity within our portfolio and providing outdoor access to our guests and residents. Our natural capital both within our properties and beyond through our collaboration with American Forests has positive climate benefits.
At ELS, we are taking actionsteps to use resources efficientlyreduce our carbon footprint and reduce our impact on the environment. environment, including energy management, water management and waste management. Our environmental metrics consist primarily of the impact of our customers on our properties as well as ELS operational impacts. We have designed our strategy to reduce ELS’ impact and promote the benefits of our properties, while enabling our customers to share in this journey with us. Lloyd's Register Quality Assurance ("LRQA") was retained to provide independent assurance of our 2022 environmental metrics to a limited level of assurance and materiality.
At ELS, we focus on operating sustainable communities for our guests and residents to enjoy and believe community-level certifications provide the best representation of our sustainable business practices on our properties. Our focus extends beyond efficient buildings to sustainable communities through the National Association of RV Parks & Campgrounds ("ARVC")’s Plan-It Green Friendly Park Program for our RV communities and state-level Clean Marina designations. Both programs provide external validation and recognition of our communities’ implementation of best practices to promote a more sustainable operation.
We are committed to seeking opportunitiesmaintaining biodiversity across our portfolio and creating assets that are connected to expandtheir natural and local environments. The Manufactured Housing Institute ("MHI") recognized Colony Cove in Ellenton, FL with its 2023 Leadership in Sustainability Award for planting more than 4,000 trees on a 1.5-acre peninsula in the use of renewable energy throughout our portfolio. Some of our Properties have on-site solar systemscommunity, creating a beneficial microforest. The annual MHI awards recognize communities that reduce our greenhouse gas emissions, reduce electricity expensedeliver extraordinary resident experiences due to their all-around excellence in operations, professionalism, amenities and are a valued amenity we can offer our guests through RV covered storage areas. We are investing in efficient, innovative and smart technology and infrastructure to enhance resident relations, simplify operations and ensure regulatory compliance. We continue to invest in our water and electric meter program to replace submeters with a real time automatic meter reading system to monitor usage and proactively identify water leaks and wasted energy. We are consistently improving the quality of our housing stock through the purchase of ENERGY STAR® certified homes, where available.community involvement.
Our Purpose. It is of the utmost importance to us that we maintain the highest level of ethical standards in our processes, customs and policies. Whether we are working with customers or vendors, our actions are guided by a clear set of established principles. We hold ourselves accountable for ethical business practices. All facets of ELS, employees, management and our Board of Directors, are expected to act with honesty, integrity, fairness and respect. We haveTo support this culture, all team members

The information on our internet site is not part of, nor incorporated into, this annual report on Form 10-K.
Leases or Usage Rights
At our Properties, a typical lease for the rental of a Site between us and the owner or renter of a home is month-to-month or for a one-year term, renewable upon the consent of both parties or, in some instances, as provided by statute. These leases are cancellable, depending on applicable law, for non-payment of rent, violation of Property rules and regulations or other specified defaults. Long-term leases are in effect at approximately 15,0108,258 Sites in 1124 of our MH Properties. Some of these leases are subject to rental rate increases based on the Consumer Price Index (“CPI”), in some instances allowing for pass-throughs of certain items such as real estate taxes, utility expenses and capital expenditures. Generally, adjustments to our rental rates, if appropriate, are made on an annual basis.
In Florida, which represents 38.3% of total sites and 44.0%45.3% of total property operating revenues, in connection with offering a Site in a MH community for rent, the MH community owner must deliver to the prospective resident a prospectus required by Florida Statutes Chapter 723.011, which must first be approved by the state's regulatory agency. The prospectus contains certain required disclosures regarding the community, the rights and obligations of the MH community owner and residents and a copy of the lease agreement. A prospectus may describe what factors the MH community owner can use to justify a rental rate increase and may contain limitations on the rights of the MH community to increase rental rates. However, in the absence of such limitations, the MH community owner may increase rental rates to market, subject to certain advance notice requirements and a statutory requirement that the rental increase and rental rates be reasonable. See further discussion below related to rent control legislation.
At Properties zoned for RV use, we have entered into agreements with residents who have usage rights on an annual basis and we have long-term relationships with many of our seasonal and transient residents and guests, who typically enter into short-term rental agreements. Generally, these residents and guests cannot live full time on these Properties for reasons including their seasonal nature. Many of them also leave deposits to reserve a Site for the following year.

Properties operated under the Thousand Trails brand are primarily utilized to serve subscription members. Available Sites within these Properties may also be utilized by non-members. A membership subscription grants the member access to these Properties on a continuous basis of up to 14 days in exchange for an annual payment. In addition, members are eligible to upgrade their subscriptions, which increase usage rights during the membership term. Each membership upgrade requires a non-refundable upfront payment, for which we offer financing options to eligible members. Most of the subscription contracts provide for an annual dues increase, usually based on increases in the CPI.
Regulations and Insurance
General. Our Properties are subject to a variety of laws, ordinances and regulations, including regulations relating to recreational facilities such as swimming pools, clubhouses and other common areas, regulations relating to providing utility services, such as electricity, and regulations relating to operating water and wastewater treatment facilities at certain Properties. We believe that each Property has all material permits and approvals necessary to operate. We renew these permits and approvals in the ordinary course of business.
Insurance. Our Properties are insured against risks that may cause property damage and business interruption, including events such as fire, flood, earthquake, or windstorm. The relevant insurance policies contain deductible requirements, coverage limits and particular exclusions. Our current property and casualty insurance policies with respect to our MH and RV Properties, which we plan to renew, expire on April 1, 2022.2024. We have a $125.0 million loss limit per occurrence limit with respect to our
7


MH and RV all-risk property insurance program, includingwhich includes approximately $50.0 million of coverage per occurrence for named windstorms. Thiswindstorms, which include, for example, hurricanes. The loss limit is subject to additional sub-limits as set forth in the policy form, including, among others, a $25.0 million aggregate loss limit for earthquakesearthquake(s) in California. The deductibles for this policy primarily range from a $500,000 minimum to 5.0% per unit of insurance for most catastrophic events. For most catastrophic events, there is an additional one-time aggregate deductible of $2$10.0 million, which is capped at $1$5.0 million per occurrence. We have separate insurance policies with respect to our marina Properties. Those casualty policies which we recently renewed,will expire on November 1, 20222024 and the property insurance program, which we plan to renew, expires on April 1, 20222024. The marina property insurance program has a $25.0 million per occurrence limit, subject to self-insurance and has a minimum deductible of $100,000.$100,000 plus, for named windstorms, 5.0% per unit of insurance subject to a $500,000 minimum. A deductible indicates our maximum exposure, subject to policy limits and sub-limits, in the event of a loss.
Rent Control Legislation. At certain Properties, state and local rent control laws dictate the structure of rent increases and in some cases, outline the ability to recover the costs of capital improvements. Enactment of such laws has been considered at various times in other jurisdictions. We presently expect to continue to maintain Properties and may purchase additional properties in markets that are either subject to rent control or in which rent related legislation exists or may be enacted. For example, Florida law requires that rental increases be reasonable and Delaware law requires rental increases greater than the changes in the CPI to be justified. Also, certain jurisdictions in California in which we own Properties limit rent increases to changes in the CPI or some percentage of the CPI. As part of our effort to realize the value of Properties subject to restrictive regulations, we have initiated lawsuits at times against various municipalities imposing such regulations in an attempt to balance the interests of our stockholders with the interests of our residents and guests.
Membership Properties. Many states also have consumer protection laws regulating right-to-use or campground membership sales and the financing of such sales. Some states have laws requiring us to register with a state agency and obtain a permit to market (see Item 1A. Risk Factors). At certain Properties primarily used as membership campgrounds, state statutes limit our ability to close a Property unless a reasonable substitute Property is made available for members to use.
Industry
We believe that demand for manufactured housing, RV communities and marinas will continue to outpace supply in the near future. We expect much of this demand will continue to come from baby boomers, who may seek an active RV lifestyle or a permanent retirement or vacation establishment. In addition, we expect the exposure to Generation X, Millennials and Gen Z will contribute to the demand, as these groups focus on affordability, prefer housing quality over size and pursue unique experiences. We believe that our Properties and our business model provide an attractive destination for customers as they seek value in their housing and recreational options. Positive trends in categories such as customer demographics, the quality of manufactured housing construction and limited property supply, among others, fuel our belief that our Properties are well positioned for the future:
Barriers to Entry: We believe that the supply of new properties in locations we target will be constrained by barriers to entry. While we have seen a modest increase in ground-up development, primarily of RV properties, the most significant barrier continues to be the difficulty of securing zoning permits from local authorities.authorities, particularly in geographic areas we target for investment. This has been the result of (i) the public perception of manufactured housing and (ii) the fact that MH and RV communities generate less tax revenue than conventional housing properties because the homes are treated as personal property (a benefit to the
7


homeowner) rather than real property. Further, the length of time between investment in a property's development and the attainment of stabilized occupancy and the generation of profit is significant. The initial development of the infrastructure may take up to three years and once a property is ready for occupancy, it may be difficult to attract customers to an empty property.
Customer Base: We believe that properties tend to achieve and maintain a stable rate of occupancy due to the following factors: (i) customers typically own their own homes, (ii) properties tend to foster a sense of community as a result of amenities, such as clubhouses and recreational and social activities, (iii) customers often sell their homes in-place (similar to site-built residential housing), resulting in no interruption of rental payments to us and (iv) moving a factory-built home from one property to another involves substantial cost and effort.
Lifestyle Choice: There are currently over 1 million RV camp sites in privately owned RV parks and campgrounds in the United States per the National Association of RV Parks and Campgrounds (“ARVC”). According to the Recreational Vehicle Industry Association (the “RVIA”) in 2021, RV ownership has reached record levels. More than 11.2 million households now own an RV, a 26% increase since 2011 and a 62% increase since 2001. RV ownership is split almost equally between those over and under the age of 55, with significant growth among 18 to 34 year-olds, who now make up 22% of the market. The 73 million people born in the United States from 1946 to 1964, or “baby boomers,” make up one of the largest and fastest growing segments in this market. According to the RVIA, data
8


suggested that RV sales are expected to benefit from an increase in demand from those born in the United States from 1980 to 2003, or millennials and Gen Z, over the coming years. The study showed that both age groups are becoming RVers for life with 84% of 18-to-34-year-olds planning to buy another RV in the next 5 years. The consumers most likely to purchase RVs, according to a study conducted with Nielsen in 2016 by Go RVing, a coalition of RV industry trade groups, are families searching for adventures, individuals looking for locations with natural beauty and opportunities for outdoor sports and recreation and kid-free adult adventurers enjoying the freedom, convenience and low-cost options of RVs. Ownership is spread widely not only across age levels but also across genders, as well as household income and education. According to “The 20212023 North American Camping Report”, the use of RVs as a primary camping accommodation by campers increased 14.7%29.3% from 2019 to 2020.2022. In 2022, 15 million households went RVing at some point, including the more than 11.2 million RV owners.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau in 2019, every day 10,000 Americans turn 65 years old and all baby boomers will be at least age 65 by 2030. We believe that this population segment, seeking an active lifestyle, will provide opportunities for our future growth. As RV owners age and move beyond the more active RV lifestyle, they will often seek permanent retirement or vacation establishments. Manufactured homes and cottages have become an increasingly popular housing alternative. According to 20182023 U.S. Census Bureau National Population Projections figures, the population of people ages 55 and older is expected to grow 17%15% within the next 15 years.
We believe that the housing choices in our Properties are especially attractive to such individuals throughout this lifestyle cycle. Our Properties offer an appealing amenity package, close proximity to local services, social activities, low maintenance and a secure environment. In fact, many of our Properties allow for this cycle to occur within a single Property.
The National Marine Manufacturers Association (“NMMA”) released its 20202022 U.S. Recreational Boating Statistical Abstract in June 2021. In a record year for the boating industry, 2020’s totalJanuary 2024. Total recreational marine expenditures during 2022 reached a high of $49.4$59.3 billion, a 14.2%4.4% and 37.1% increase over 2019. NMMA’s data show 415,000 first-time boat buyers entered2021 and 2019, respectively. According to NMMA, an estimated 85 million Americans go boating each year.
According to the market in 2020.
The U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis (“BEA”) published figures confirming that the level of, demand for recreational marine purchases has continued in 2021, with boat spending almost 50% higher than before the pandemic. According to the BEA,2022, as boating and fishing represent the second largest outdoor recreation activities in the U.S., with $23.6$32.4 billion in current-dollar value added to the economy.
Construction Quality: The Department of Housing and Urban Development's (“HUD”) standards for manufactured housing construction quality are the only federal standards governing housing quality of any type in the United States. Manufactured homes produced since 1976 have received a “red and silver” government seal certifying that they were built in compliance with the federal code. The code regulates manufactured home design and construction, strength and durability, fire resistance and energy efficiency and the installation and performance of heating, plumbing, air conditioning, thermal and electrical systems. In newer homes, top grade lumber and dry wall materials are common. Also, manufacturers are required to follow the same fire codes as builders of site-built structures. In 1994, following the devastation left by Hurricane Andrew, HUD introduced regulations that established different wind zones across the country. As a result, any homes set in place since 1994 must be able to withstand wind speeds of 70 miles per hour in Zone 1, 100 miles per hour in Zone 2 and 110 miles per hour in Zone 3. While most of the United States is designated wind Zone 1, areas most likely to be impacted by hurricanes are either Zone 2 or Zone 3.

Although construction of cottages, which are generally smaller homes, do not come under the same HUD regulations, they are built and certified in accordance with National Fire Protection Association (“NFPA”) 1192-15 and American National Standards Institute (“ANSI”) A119.5 consensus standards for park model recreational vehicles and have many of the same quality features. The RVIA operates a safety standards and inspection program that requires member manufacturers of all recreation vehicles, including park model RVs, to certify that each unit built complies with the requirements of the applicable standards.
Comparability to Site-Built Homes: Since inception, the manufactured housing industry has experienced a trend toward multi-section homes. The average current manufactured homes are approximately 1,471 square feet. Many such homes have nine-foot or vaulted ceilings, fireplaces and as many as four bedrooms and closely resemble single-family ranch-style site-built homes at a fraction of the price. At our Properties, there is an active resale or rental market for these larger homes. According to the 2020 U.S. Census American Community Survey, manufactured homes represent 7.5% of single-family housing units.
Second Home and Vacation Home Demographics: The National Association of Realtors (“NAR”) recently released their 2021 Vacation Home Counties Report in 2021, which indicated that vacation home sales have been surgingsurged throughout the pandemic. In 2020, vacation home sales rose by 16.4%, outpacing the 5.6% growth in total existing-home sales. Vacation home sales have continued to pick up during January-April 2021, rising by 57.2% year-over-year, more than twice the 20% growth in total existing-home sales during the same period. The median existing home sales price on average rose by 14.2% in vacation home counties, compared to 10.1% in non-vacation home counties. The share of vacation home sales to total existing-home sales increased to 6.7% in the first four months of 2021, up from a 5% share in 2019. According to the NAR, the surge in the demand for vacation homes has occurred during the pandemic when people have been able to work from home, students are schooled virtually, people are taking safety precautions and staying away from crowded areas and with urban-based recreation limited by social distancing regulations.

In 2020, the number of recent home buyers who own more than one home was 17%, up from 16% in 2019, according to NAR. NAR reports that owning more than one property was most common for buyers aged 65 years and older at 22%. Additionally, NAR reports that of second homebuyers from October 2015 through September 2020, 39% purchased in resort areas, 16% purchased in small towns and 15% purchased in rural areas. Looking ahead, we expect continued strong demand from baby boomers and Generation X. We believe these individuals will continue to drive the market for second-home sales as vacation properties, investment opportunities, or retirement retreats. We believe it is likely that over the next decade we will continue to see high levels of second-home sales and that manufactured homes and cottages in our Properties will continue to provide a viable second-home alternative to site-built homes.
Notwithstanding our belief that the industry information highlighted above provides us with significant long-term growth opportunities, our short-term growth opportunities could be disrupted by the following:

Shipments: According to statistics compiled by the U.S. Census Bureau, 2023 shipments of manufactured home shipmentshomes to dealers in 2021were closer to pre-pandemic levels with 89,200 shipments. 2022 shipments of manufactured homes to dealers appeared to be the highest MH shipment year since 2006.in over a decade, marking the first time that shipments exceeded over 100,000 for two consecutive years. According to the RVIA, wholesale shipments of RVs increased significantly by 39.5%for 2023 ended with 313,174 shipments. 2021 and 2022 represented two of the three highest years in 2021 to approximately 600,240 units as compared to 2020, providing the highest annual shipment total on record. The 2021 shipment total surpassed the previous record set in 2017terms of 504,600 shipments by 19%. The shipment numbers for 2021 reflect increasing consumer interest in RVing and the growth in consumer demand to purchase RVs.RV shipments.

2.U.S. Census: Manufactured Homes Survey

Sales: Retail sales of RVs totaled approximately 512,673 in 2021, a 7.6% increase from 2020 RV sales of 476,401 and a 23.4% increase from 2019 RV sales of 415,325. We believe consumers viewedview RVs as a safe way to enjoy an active outdoor lifestyle, travel and see the country. TheWhile 2023 retail sales of RVs were 344,595, down approximately 14.8% from 2022, the enduring appeal of the RV lifestyle has translated into continued strength in RV sales, as 2021 ismarked the highest sales year for the industry.industry at 516,565. RV sales could continue to benefit from the increased demand from the baby boomers and Millennials. Financing options are also available as RV dealers typically have relationships with third-party lenders, who provide financing for the purchase of a RV.
Availability of financing: Although RV financing is readily available, the economic and legislative environment has generally made it difficult for buyers of both manufactured homes and RVs to obtain financing. Legislation enacted in 2008 and effective in 2010, known as the SAFE Act (Secure and Fair Enforcement for Mortgage Licensing Act) requires community owners interested in providing financing to buyers of manufactured homes to register as mortgage loan originators in states where they engage in such financing. In comparison to financing available to buyers of site-builtsite-
10


built homes, the few third-party financing sources available to buyers of manufactured homes offer financing with higher down payments, higher rates and shorter maturities and loan approval is subject to more stringent underwriting criteria. In 2013, we entered into a joint venture, ECHO Financing, LLC, to buy and sell homes and purchase loans made by an unaffiliated lender to residents at our Properties. See Item 1A. Risk Factors and our consolidated financial statements and related notes beginning on page F-1 of this Form 10-K for more detailed information.

Under the existing administration, the Federal Housing Finance Agency (the “FHFA”), overseer of Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac (the “GSEs”) and the Federal Home Loan Banks, has focused on equitable access to affordable and sustainable housing. In 2017, the FHFA published the Underserved Markets Plans for 2018-2020 (the “GSE Plans”) under the Duty-To-Serve (“DTS”) provisions mandated by the Federal Housing Enterprises Financial Safety and Soundness Act of 1992, as amended by the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008. The GSEs subsequently added a 2021 Plan as a one-year extension and have since submittedpublished their current 2022-2024 Plans to FHFA and have received comment.Plans.
The FHFA mandate requires the GSE Plans to address leadership in developing loan products and flexible underwriting guidelines in underserved markets to facilitate a secondary market for mortgages on manufactured homes titled as real property or personal property, blanket loans for certain categories of manufactured housing communities, preserving the affordability of housing for renters and homebuyers, and housing in rural markets.

While the FHFA and the current GSE 2022-24 DTS Plans may have a positive impact on the ability of our customers to obtain chattel financing, the actual impact on us, as well as the industry, cannot be determined at this time.

Item 1A. Risk Factors
The following risk factors could cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in forward-looking statements made in this Form 10-K and presented elsewhere by our management from time to time. These risk factors may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, operating results and cash flows. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that are currently not believed to be material may also affect our actual results.
Risks Relating to Our Operations and Real Estate Investments
The Economic Performance and Value of Our Properties Are Subject to Risks Associated with the Real Estate Industry.
The economic performance and value of our Properties could be adversely affected by various factors, many of which are outside of our control. These factors include but are not limited to the following:
changes in the national, regional and/or local economies;
the attractiveness of our Properties to customers, competition from other MH and RV communities and lifestyle-oriented properties and marinas and alternative forms of housing (such as apartment buildings and site-built single-family homes);
the ability of MH, RV and boat manufacturers to adapt to changes in the economy and the availability of units from these manufacturers;
the ability of our potential customers to sell or lease their existing residences in order to purchase homes or cottages at our Properties, and heightened price sensitivity for seasonal and second homebuyers;
the ability of our potential customers to obtain financing on the purchase of manufactured homes and cottages, RVs and/or boats;
our ability to attract new customers and retain them for our membership subscriptions and upgrade sales business;
our ability to collect payments from customers and pay or control operating costs, including real estate taxes and insurance;
the ability of our assets to generate income sufficient to pay our expenses, service our debt and maintain our Properties;
our ability to diversify, reconfigure our portfolio promptly in response to changing economic or other conditions and sell our Properties timely due to the illiquid nature of real estate investments;
unfavorable weather conditions, especially on holiday weekends in the spring and summer months, which are peak business periods for our transient customers;
changes in climate and the occurrence of natural disasters or catastrophic events, including acts of war and terrorist attacks;
fluctuations in the exchange rate of the U.S. dollar to other currencies, primarily the Canadian dollar due to Canadian customers, who frequently visit our southern Properties;
changes in U.S. social, economic and political conditions, laws and governmental regulations, including policies governing rent control, fair and equitable access to housing, property zoning, taxation, minimum wages, chattel financing, health care, foreign trade, regulatory compliance, manufacturing, development and investment;
an inflationary environment in which the costs to operate and maintain our communities increase at a rate greater than our ability to increase rents;
a recession or economic downturn;
supply chain disruptions and tightening labor markets, which have affected and could affect our ability to obtain materials and skilled labor timely without incurring significant costs or delays for any development and expansion activities;
fiscal policies, instability or inaction at the U.S. federal government level, which may lead to federal government shutdowns or negative impacts on the U.S. economy; and
adverse outcomes of litigation;
COVID-19, or other highly infectious or contagious diseases, which has had and could continue to have an adverse effect on our business.business; and
the realization of any other risk factors included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Changes in or the occurrence of any of these factors could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, market price of our common stock and our ability to make expected distributions to our stockholders or result in claims, including, but not limited to, foreclosure by a lender in the event of our inability to service our debt.

Significant Inflation Could Negatively Impact Our Business.

Substantial inflationary pressures can adversely affect us by increasing the costs of materials, labor and other costs needed to operate our business. Higher construction costs could adversely impact our investments in real estate assets and our expected yields on development and value-add projects. In a highly inflationary environment, we may not be able to raise rental rates at or above the rate of inflation, which could reduce our profit margins. If we are unable to increase our rental prices to offset the effects of inflation, our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition could be adversely affected. In addition, interest rate increases enacted to combat inflation have caused market disruption and could continue to prevent us from acquiring or disposing of assets on favorable terms.

Inflation may also cause increased volatility in financial markets, which could affect our ability to access the capital markets or impact the cost or timing at which we are able to do so. To the extent our exposure to increases in interest rates on any of our debt is not eliminated through interest rate swaps and interest rate protection agreements, such increases will result in higher debt service costs, which will adversely affect our cash flows.

There is no guarantee that we will be able to mitigate the effects of inflation and related impacts, and the duration and extent of any prolonged periods of inflation, and any related adverse effects on our results of operations and financial condition, remain unknown at this time.

General Economic DownturnConditions and Economic Downturns in Markets with a Large Concentration of Our Properties May Adversely Affect Our Financial Condition, Results of Operations, Cash Flows and Ability to Make Distributions.
Our success is dependent upon economic conditions in the U.S. generally and in the geographic areas where a substantial number of our Properties are located. As we have a large concentration of properties in certain markets, most notably Florida, California and Arizona, which comprise 44.0%, 12.7% and 9.4%, respectively, of our total property operating revenue for the year ended December 31, 2021, adverse market and economicAdverse macroeconomic conditions, in these areas could significantly affect factors, such as occupancy and rentalincluding slow growth or recession, high unemployment, inflation, tighter credit, higher interest rates, and could have a significant impact on our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows
12


and ability to make distributions. Furthermore, stay-at-home orders and travel restrictions couldcurrency fluctuations, can adversely impact the ability of our customers to visitdemand for our Properties. In a recession or under other adverse economic conditions, non-earning assets and write-downs are likely to increase as debtors fail to meet their payment obligations. Although we maintain reserves for credit losses in amounts that we believe are sufficient to provide adequate protection against potential write-downs in our portfolio, these amounts could prove to be insufficient. We are also exposed to the risks of downturns in the local economy or other local real estate market conditions. As we have a large concentration of Properties in certain markets, most notably Florida, Northeast, California and Arizona, which comprised 45.3%, 11.3%, 10.6% and 10.4%, respectively, of our total property operating revenue for the year ended December 31, 2023, adverse market and economic conditions in these areas could significantly affect factors, such as occupancy and rental rates and could have a significant impact on our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and ability to make distributions.
Certain of Our Properties, Primarily Our RV Communities and Marinas, are Subject to Seasonality and Cyclicality.
Some of our RV communities and marinas are used primarily by vacationers and campers. These Properties experience seasonal demand, which generally increases in the spring and summer months and decreases in the fall and winter months. As such, results for a certain quarter may not be indicative of the results of future quarters. In addition, since our RV communities and marinas are primarily used by vacationers and campers, economic cyclicality resulting in a downturn that affects discretionary spending and disposable income for leisure-time activities could adversely affect our cash flows.
Our Properties May Not Be Readily Adaptable to Other Uses.
Properties in our portfolio, including marinas and certain RV communities, are specific-use properties and may contain features or assets that have limited alternative uses. These Properties may also have distinct operational functions that involve specific procedures and training. If the operations of any of ourthose Properties becomebecomes unprofitable due to industry competition, operational execution or otherwise, then it may not be feasible to operate thethat Property for another use and the value of certain features or assets used at thethat Property, or the Property itself, may be impaired. Should any of these events occur, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows could be adversely impacted.
Competition for Acquisitions May Result in Increased Prices for Properties and Associated Costs and Increased Costs of Financing.
Other real estate investors with significant capital may compete with us for attractive investment opportunities. Such competition could increase prices for Properties and result in increased fixed costs, including real estate taxes. To the extent we are unable to effectively compete or acquire properties on favorable terms, our ability to expand our business could be adversely affected.
13


New Acquisitions May Fail to Perform as Expected and the Intended Benefits May Not Be Realized, Which Could Have a Negative Impact on Our Operations and the Market Price of Our Common Stock.
We may continue to acquire Properties. However, newly acquired Properties may fail to perform as expected and could pose risks for our ongoing operations including the following:
integration may prove costly or time-consuming and may divert our attention from the management of daily operations;
we may be unable to access capital or we may encounter difficulties, such as increases in financing costs;
we may incur costs and expenses associated with any undisclosed or potential liabilities;
we may experience a real estate tax re-assessment imposed by local governmental authorities that may result in higher real estate taxes than anticipated;
unforeseen difficulties may arise in integrating an acquisition into our portfolio;
expected synergies may not materialize; and
we may acquire properties in new markets where we face risks associated with lack of market knowledge, such as understanding of the local economy, the local governmentalgovernment and/or local permit procedures.

As a result of the foregoing, we may not accurately estimate or identify all costs necessary to bring an acquired Property up to standards established for our intended market position. As such, we cannot provide assurance that any acquisition we make will be accretive to us in the near term or at all. Furthermore, if we fail to realize the intended benefits of an acquisition, the market price of our common stock could decline to the extent that the market price reflects those anticipated benefits.
Development and Expansion Properties May Fail to Perform as Expected and the Intended Benefits May Not Be Realized, Which Could Have a Negative Impact on Our Operations and the Market Price of Our Common Stock.
We may periodically consider development and expansion activities, which are subject to risks such as construction costs exceeding original estimates and construction and lease-up delays, resulting in increased construction costs and lower than expected revenues. The construction and building industry, similar to many other industries, is experiencing worldwide supply chain disruptions due to a multitude of factors that are beyond our control. As a result, we may be unable to complete our
13


development or redevelopment projects timely and/or within our budget, which may affect our ability to lease to potential customers and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. To the extent we engage third-party contractors to complete development or expansion activities, there is no guarantee that they can complete these activities on time and in accordance with our plans and specifications. We may also be unable to obtain necessary entitlements and required governmental permits that could result in increased costs or the delay or abandonment of these activities. Additionally, there can be no assurance that these properties will operate better as a result of development or expansion activities due to various factors, including lower than anticipated occupancy and rental rates causing a property to be unprofitable or less profitable than originally estimated.
We Regularly Expend Capital to Maintain, Repair and Renovate Our Properties, Which Could Negatively Impact Our Financial Condition, Results of Operations and Cash Flows.
We may, orhave, and we may be required to, from time to time, make significant capital expenditures to maintain or enhance the competitiveness of our Properties, including infrastructure improvements. In addition, as most of our residents own their homes located in our Properties, the replacement, repairs and refurbishment of these homes may not be within our control. If our Properties are not as attractive to current and prospective customers as compared to the properties owned by our competitors, we could lose customers or suffer lower rental rates. However, thereThere is no assurance that any capital expenditure would result in higher occupancy or higher rental rates. In addition, the price of commodities and skilled labor for our construction projects may increase unpredictably due to external factors, including supply chain disruptions. It is uncertain whether we would be able to source the essential commodities, supplies, materials, and skilled labor timely or at all without incurring significant costs or delays, particularly during times of economic uncertainty resulting from events outside of our control, including, but not limited to, the effects of COVID-19.control. To the extent that the expenditures exceed our available cash, we may need to secure new financing.
Our Ability to Renew Ground Leases Could Adversely Affect Our Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
We own the buildings and leasehold improvements at certain Properties that are subject to long-term ground leases. For various reasons, landowners may not want to renew the ground lease agreements with similar terms and conditions, if at all, which could adversely impact our ability to operate these Properties and generate revenues. We have 14As of December 31, 2023, we had 10 Properties in our portfolio subject to ground lease agreements for land, which we do not own. Four of the land.

14 Properties, which generated approximately $6.0 million of income from operations for the year ended December 31, 2021, are subject to ground lease agreements with a final expiration date before 2023. See Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data—Note 16. Commitment and Contingencies.


Our Ability to Sell or Rent Manufactured Homes Could Be Impaired, Resulting in Reduced Cash Flows.
Selling and renting homes is a primary part of our business. Our ability to sell or rent manufactured homes could be adversely affected by any of the following factors:
disruptions in the single-family housing market;
local conditions, such as an oversupply of lifestyle-oriented properties or a reduction in demand for lifestyle-oriented properties;
increased costs to acquire homes;
our ability to obtain an adequate supply of homes at reasonable costs from MH suppliers;
our ability to acquire or develop existing land suitable for home building;
the ability of customers to obtain affordable financing; and
demographics, such as the retirement of “baby boomers” and their demand for access to our lifestyle-oriented Properties.
Regulation of Chattel Financing May Affect Our Ability to Sell Homes.
Since 2010, the regulatory environment has made it difficult for purchasers of manufactured homes and RVs to obtain financing. The Secure and Fair Enforcement for Mortgage Licensing Act requires community owners interested in providing financing for customer purchases of manufactured homes to register as mortgage loan originators in states where they engage in such financing. In addition, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act amended the Truth in Lending Act and other consumer protection laws by adding requirements for residential mortgage loans, including limitations on mortgage origination activities, restrictions on high-cost mortgages and new standards for appraisals. The law also requires lenders to make a reasonable investigation into a borrower's ability to repay a loan. These requirements make it more difficult for homeowners to obtain affordable financing to obtain loans to purchase manufactured housinghomes or RVs. Homeowners' ability to obtain affordable financing could affect our ability to sell homes.
14


Our Investments in Joint Ventures Could Be Adversely Affected by Our Lack of Sole Decision-Making Authority Regarding Major Decisions, Our Reliance on Our Joint Venture Partners' Financial Condition, Any Disputes That May Arise Between Us and Our Joint Venture Partners and Our Exposure to Potential Losses From the Actions of Our Joint Venture Partners.
We have joint ventures with other investors. We currently and may continue to acquire properties through or make investments in joint ventures with other persons or entities when we believe circumstances warrant the use of such structures.entities. Joint venture investments involve risks not present with respect to our wholly owned Properties, including the following:
Our joint venture partners may experience financial distress, become bankrupt or fail to fund their share of required capital contributions, due to adverse economic conditions, which could delay construction or development of a property, increase our financial commitment to the joint venture or adversely impact the ongoing operations of the joint venture;
Our joint venture partners may have business interests or goals with respect to a property that conflict with our business interests and goals, which could increase the likelihood of disputes regarding the ownership, management or disposition of the propertyproperty; and
We may be unable to take actions that are opposed by our joint venture partners under arrangements that require us to share decision-making authority over major decisions affecting the ownership or operation of the joint venture and any property owned by the joint venture, such as the sale or financing of the property or the making of additional capital contributions for the benefit of the venture.
At times we have entered into agreements providing for joint and several liability with our partners. Frequently, we and our partners may each have the right to trigger a buy-sell arrangement, which could cause us to sell our interest, or acquire our partners' interest, at a time when we otherwise would not have initiated such a transaction. Any of these risks could materially and adversely affect our ability to generate and recognize attractive returns on our joint venture investments, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition and distributions to our stockholders.
There is a Risk of Accidents, Injuries or Outbreaks Occurring at Our Properties Which May Negatively Impact Our Operations.
While we maintain and promote safety at our Properties, there are inherent risks associated with certain features, assets and activities at our communities. An accident, injury or outbreak at any of our communities, particularly an accident, injury or outbreak involving the safety of our residents, guests and employees, may be associated with claims against us involving higher assertions of damages and/or higher public visibility. The occurrence of an accident, injury or outbreak at any of our communities could also cause damage to our brand or reputation, lead to loss of consumer confidence in us, reduce occupancy at our communities and negatively impact our results of operations.
15


Our Success Depends in Part, on Our Ability to AttractTalented Employees, Management, Directors and Retain Talented Employees.Key Personnel.
Our employees, management, directors and other key personnel have a significant role in our success. Our ability to attract, retain and motivate talented employees and directors could significantly impact our future performance. The loss of one or more members of our senior leadership team could materially and adversely affect us. Competition for these individuals is intense, and there is no assurance that we will retain our directors, key officers and employees or that we will be able to attract and retain other highly qualified individuals in the future.
Our Business Operations are Dependent on the Effective Operation of Technology.
We rely on software and computer systems to process and store information required for our business operations. Additionally, with the outbreak of COVID-19, certain of our corporate and regional staff have been regularly working remotely, further increasing our dependence on technology to complete our business processes. Any disruption to these systems or to third-party vendors that maintain these systems could adversely affect our business operations. While we maintain and require our vendors to maintain appropriate back-up copies of our information, transitioning to a new system or vendor can be time-consuming and disruptive. Additionally, it is important for us to explore and evolve with new developments in technology to stay competitive. For example, our consumers rely on our technology platforms to make reservations; and therefore, these user interfaces must be understandable and easy to use. It may require investment of both time and expense to implement a new system or upgrade our existing technology. Interruptions to any of the above could lead to lost revenues, interruptions in our business operations and damage to our business reputation.
ThePublic health crises, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, has adversely impacted us and COVID-19, or the future outbreak of other highly infectious or contagious diseases, could materially and adversely impact or disrupt our business, including our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Pandemics, epidemics, or other public health crises, including the COVID-19 haspandemic, have had and another pandemic could in the future have significant repercussions across regional, national and global economies and financial markets and hasmarkets. These events have caused and could continue to trigger periods of regional, nationalin the future cause governmental and global economic slowdown or recessions. Many U.S. citiessocietal responses that are highly uncertain, and states, including cities and states where our offices and properties are located,
15


we cannot predict with confidence the impact a public health crisis would have implemented measures to combat COVID-19, including quarantines, shelter-in-place and stay-at-home orders, social distancing requirements and restrictions on travel and the types of business that may continue to operate. Although vaccines for COVID-19 have been developed and administered, we can provide no assurance as to their widespread adoption and continued efficacy against any new variants at levels sufficient to address the COVID-19 pandemic, or that there will not be lasting changes inmacroeconomic conditions, consumer behavior, as a resultcross-border travel, labor availability, credit and financing conditions, supply chain management, and local operations in impacted markets, all of the COVID-19 pandemic that may impact our business. See “Item 7. Management Discussionwhich can materially and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - COVID-19 Pandemic Update.”
The effects of COVID-19 have had and could continue to have, or another pandemic could have, an adverse effect onadversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows, which impact could be material, due to, among other factors:
Weaknesses in national, regional or local economies may prevent our residents and customers from paying rent in full or on a timely basis. Federal, state, local and industry-initiated efforts, including eviction moratoriums, have affected and may continue to affect our ability to collect rent or enforce remedies for the failure to pay rent. These efforts could lead to an increase in our recognition of credit losses related to our rent receivables. In addition, a reduction in the ability or willingness of prospective customers to visit our properties could impact our ability to lease Sites and sell manufactured homes and may result in lower rental income and ancillary operating revenues produced by our Properties.
The seasonal and transient customers that vacation and camp at our Properties, including our RV communities and marinas, may be less likely to visit if they have less disposable income for leisure-time activities, or are unable to visit due to health concerns or travel restrictions, including cross-border restrictions from Canada, which have caused and could continue to cause cancellation of existing reservations and reduced transient rental income.
A general decline in business activity and discretionary spending could result in fewer customers purchasing membership subscriptions, or existing customers purchasing fewer membership upgrades or failing to pay annual subscription fees or installments on financed upgrade sales.
This could lead to an impairment of our real estate investments. In addition, we may be unable to complete planned development of land for expansion or other capital improvement projects on a timely basis or at all due an inability by our third-party contractors to continue to work on construction projects.
The financial impact of COVID-19 or other future pandemics, could negatively impact our ability to comply with financial covenants in our credit arrangements and result in a default and potentially an acceleration of indebtedness, which non-compliance could negatively impact our ability to make additional borrowings under our credit facilities.
A severe disruption and instability in the global financial markets or a deterioration in credit and financing conditions may affect our ability to access capital necessary to fund business operations, including the acquisition or expansion of properties, or replace or renew maturing liabilities on a timely basis, on attractive terms, or at all and may adversely affect the valuation of financial assets and liabilities.
Supply chain disruptions could adversely affect our ability to obtain materials and skilled labor timely without incurring significant costs or delays for any development and expansion activities.
COVID-19 or another future pandemic, could negatively affect the health, availability and productivity of our current personnel. An outbreak of COVID-19 or other future pandemic, that directly affects, or threatens to directly affect, any of our properties could also deter or prevent our on-site personnel from reporting to work. The effects of shelter-in-place and stay-at-home orders, including remote work arrangements for an extended period of time, could strain our business continuity plans, introduce operational risk, including but not limited to cybersecurity risks, and impair our ability to manage our business. Further, we have and may continue to implement mitigation and other measures to support and protect our employees, which could result in increased labor costs.
There has been a dramatic increase in workers leaving their positions generally and in the real estate industry that is being referred to as the “great resignation,” and the market to build, retain and replace talent has become even more highly competitive. In this period of the “great resignation,” we have and may continue to face higher employee turnover rates. This may strain our ability to keep our properties fully staffed and negatively impact employee and customer satisfaction.
The rapid development and fluidity of the circumstances resulting from COVID-19 precludes any prediction as to the ultimate adverse impact of COVID-19. Nevertheless, COVID-19 or other future pandemics and the current financial, economic and capital markets environment and future developments in these and other areas present material uncertainty and risk with respect to our performance, financial condition, volume of business, results of operations and cash flows, which could adversely affect our ability to make distributions.

flows.
Risks Relating to Governmental Regulation and Potential Litigation
Changes to Federal and State Laws and Regulations Could Adversely Affect Our Operations and the Market Price of Our Common Stock.
Our Properties and business operations are subject to certain federal, state and statelocal and foreign laws, regulations and policies. Compliance with laws and regulations that govern our operations may require significant expenditures or modifications of business plans that could have a detrimental effect on our Properties and operations. We do not know whether existing requirements will change or whether future requirements will develop, which may require us to spend additional amounts to comply with the regulations, or may restrict our ability to conduct our business operations in ways that are profitable. Failure to comply with these requirements could subject us to significant liability, including butgovernmental fines or private litigation. There can be no assurance that the application of laws, regulations or policies will not limited to the following:occur in a manner that could have a detrimental effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Rent Control Legislation
Certain of our Properties are subject to state and local rent control regulations that dictate rent increases and our ability to recover increases in operating expenses and the costs of capital improvements. In addition, in certain jurisdictions, such regulations allow residents to sell their homes for a price that includes a premium above the intrinsic value of the homes. The premium represents the value of the future discounted rent-controlled rents, which is fully capitalized into the prices of the homes sold. In our view, such regulations result in a transfer to the residents of the value of our land, which would otherwise be reflected in market rents. As part of our effort to realize the value of Properties subject to restrictive regulation, we have initiated lawsuits at various times against various municipalities imposing such regulations in an attempt to balance the interests of our stockholders with the interests of our customers. In addition, we operate certain of our Properties and may acquire additional properties, in high cost markets where the demand for affordable housing may result in the adoption of new rent control legislation that may impact rent increases.
We also own Properties in certain areas of the country where rental rates at our Properties have not increased as fast as real estate values either because of locally imposed rent control or long term leases. In such areas, certain local government entities have at times investigated the possibility of seeking to take our Properties by eminent domain at values below the value of the underlying land. While no such eminent domain proceeding has been commenced and we anticipate exercising all of our
16


rights in connection with any such proceeding, successful condemnation proceedings by municipalities could adversely affect our financial condition.
Resident groups have previously filed lawsuits against us seeking to limit rent increases and/or seeking large damage awards for our alleged failure to properly maintain certain Properties or other resident related matters. An adverse finding against us in any such proceeding could materially and adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition and distributions to our stockholders.
Occupational, Safety and Health Act
Our Properties are subject to regulation under the federal Occupational, Safety and Health Act (“OSHA”), which requires employers to provide employees with an environment free from hazards, such as exposure to toxic chemicals, excessive noise levels, mechanical dangers, heat or cold stress and unsanitary conditions. Although we believe that our Properties are in compliance in all material respects with applicable requirements, complying with OSHA and similar laws can be costly and any failure to comply with these regulations could result in penalties or potential litigation.
Americans with Disabilities Act
Under the Americans with Disabilities Act (“ADA”), all public accommodations and commercial facilities must meet certain federal requirements related to access and use by disabled persons. Although we believe that our Properties are in compliance in all material respects with applicable requirements, noncompliance with the ADA or related laws or regulations could result in the U.S. government imposing fines or private litigants being awarded damages against us. Such costs may adversely affect our ability to make distributions or payments to our investors. Compliance with the ADA requirements could involve removal of structural barriers to access or use by disabled persons. Other federal, state and local laws may require modifications to or restrict further renovations of our Properties with respect to such access or use.
Additionally, Title III of the ADA has been interpreted by the U.S. courts to include websites as “places of public accommodations”. For our websites to be ADA compliant, they must be accessible. While no laws have been passed related to website accessibility, the recognized de facto standard in the U.S. is the Web Content Accessibility Guideline. We may incur costs to make our websites ADA compliant or face litigation if they are not compliant.
Laws and Regulations Relating to Campground Membership Sales and Properties Could Adversely Affect the Value of Certain Properties and Our Cash Flows.
Many of the states in which we operate have laws regulating campground membership sales and properties. These laws generally require comprehensive disclosure to prospective purchasers and usually give purchasers the right to rescind their
17


purchase between three to five days after the date of sale. Some states have laws requiring us to register with a state agency and obtain a permit to market. We are subject to changes, from time to time, in the application or interpretation of such laws that can affect our business or the rights of our members.
In some states, including California, Oregon and Washington, laws place limitations on the ability of the owner of a campground property to close the property unless the customers at the property receive access to a comparable property. The impact of the rights of customers under these laws is uncertain and could adversely affect the availability or timing of sale opportunities or our ability to realize recoveries from Property sales.
Certain consumer rights and defenses that vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction may affect our portfolio of contracts receivable. Examples of such laws include state and federal consumer credit and truth-in-lending laws requiring the disclosure of finance charges and usury and retail installment sales laws regulating permissible finance charges.
Litigation Risk Could Materially and Adversely Affect Our Business.
We are involved and may continue to be involved in legal proceedings, claims, class actions, inquiries and investigations relating to our operations, corporate transactions, dispositions and investments and otherwise in the ordinary course of business. These legal proceedings may include, but are not limited to, proceedings related to consumer, shareholder, securities, anticompetitive, antitrust, employment, environmental, development, tort, eviction and commercial legal issues. Litigation can be lengthy and expensive, and it can divert management's and our Directors' attention and resources away from our business. We cannot provide any assurance regarding the outcome of any claims, and an unfavorable outcome in litigation could result in liability material to our financial condition or results of operations. We cannot provide any assurance regarding the outcome of any claims that may arise in the future. We also have agreed to indemnify our present and former Directors and Officers in connection with litigation in which they are named or threatened to be named as a party in their capacity as Directors and
17


Officers. Any judgments, fines or settlements that exceed our insurance coverage and any indemnification costs that we are required to pay could materially and adversely affect us.
Environmental Risks
Natural Disasters Have and Could in the Future Adversely Affect the Value of Our Properties, Our Financial Condition, Results of Operations and Cash Flows.
We are subject to risks associated with natural disasters, including but not limited to hurricanes, storms, fires and earthquakes. As of December 31, 2021,2023, we owned or had an ownership interest in 444451 Properties, including 135136 Properties and 19 marinas located in Florida and 5149 Properties located in California. The occurrence of a natural disaster or other catastrophic event in any of these areas may cause a sudden decrease in the value of our Properties and result in an adverse effect to our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Climate Change May Adversely Affect Our Business.
Climate change could increase the frequency and severity of natural disasters and change weather patterns. To the extent climate change causes changes in weather patterns, ourOur markets could experience increases in storm intensity, frequency and magnitude of hurricanes, wildfires, rising sea levels, drought and changes to precipitation and temperatures. The physical effects of climate change could have a material adverse effect on our properties, operations and business. If there are prolonged disruptions at our properties due to extreme weather or natural disasters, our results of operations and financial condition could be materially adversely affected. Our properties are dependent on state and local utility infrastructure for delivery of energy, water supply and/or other utilities. We do not control investment in that infrastructure and the condition of the infrastructure and supply of the utilities may not be sufficient to handle impact resulting from climate change. Over time, these conditions could result in increased incidents of physical damage to our Properties, declining demand for our Properties and increased difficulties operating them. Climate change, natural disasters and changing weather patterns may also have indirect effects on our business by increasing the cost of (or making unavailable) property insurance on terms we find acceptable, increasing the cost of (or making unavailable) energy, water supply and other utilities at our Properties and requiring us to expend funds as we seek to repair and protect our Properties against such risks.
In addition, climate change could lead to transition risks such as changes in federal, state and local legislation and regulation which may require increased capital expenditures at our Properties. Additionally, these capital expenditures may or may not result in lower on-going expenses or make an impact on the desirability of our Properties and our ability to attract high quality residents and guests. Any such losses, increases in costs or business interruptions could adversely affect our financial condition and operating results.
Environmental and Utility-Related Problems are Possible and Can Be Costly.
Federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to the protection of the environment may require a current or previous owner or operator of real property to pay fines and penalties and investigate and clean up hazardous or toxic substances, orincluding lead or petroleum product releases at such property. The owner or operator may have to pay a governmental entity or third parties for property damage and for investigation and clean-up costs incurred by such parties in connection with the contamination. Properties containing lead may require removal of the material. This can be costly and, if the lead infiltrates the groundwater or other water supply, further remediation may be necessary. Such laws typically impose clean-up responsibility and liability without regard to whether the owner or operator knew of or caused the presence of the contaminants. Even if more than one person may have been responsible for the contamination, each person covered by the environmentalapplicable laws may be held responsible for all of the clean-up costs incurred. In addition, third parties could sue the owner or operator of a site for damages and costs resulting from environmental contamination emanating from that site.
18


Environmental laws also govern the presence, maintenance and removal of environmental contamination, including asbestos, wastewater discharge and oil spills. Such laws require that owners or operators of properties containing hazardous or toxic substances to properly manage them. Owners or operators of properties containing asbestos mustthem, including, but not limited to, requirements to notify and train those who may come into contact with asbestos and undertakerelevant persons to take special precautions, including removaland to remove or other abatement, if asbestos would be disturbed during renovation or demolition of a building.otherwise abate the contaminant. Such laws may impose fines and penalties on real property owners or operators who fail to comply with these requirements and may allow third parties to seek recovery from owners or operators for personal injury associated with exposure to asbestos fibers.the contaminant. Moreover, certain of our marinas are located on waterways that are subject to federal laws, including the Clean Water Act and the Oil Pollution Act, as well as analogous state laws regulating navigable waters, oil pollution, (including prevention and cleanup of the same), adverse impacts to fish and wildlife, and other matters. For example, under the Oil Pollution Act, owners and operators of vessels and onshore facilities may be subject to liability for removal costs and damages arising from an oil spill in waters of the United States.
Utility-related laws and regulations also govern the provision of utility services. Such laws regulate, for example, how and to what extent owners or operators of property can charge renters for provision of utilities. Such laws also regulate the
18


operations and performance of utility systems and may impose fines and penalties on real property owners or operators who fail to comply with these requirements. The regulations may also require capital investment to maintain compliance.
Stakeholder Evaluations of ESG Matters May Impact Our Ability to Attract Investors and Could Have a Negative Impact on Our Reputation.
Evaluations of ESG Matters are important to investors and other stakeholders. Some investors may use ESG Matters to guide their investment strategies.stakeholders, and there is an increased focus on such matters by various regulatory authorities, including the SEC and the state of California. ESG assessments by certain organizations that provide corporate governance and other corporate risk advisory services to investors provide scores and ratings to evaluate companies based upon publicly available information. In addition, investors, particularly institutional investors, may use ESG or sustainability scores to benchmark companies against their peers. The methodologies by which ESG Matters are assessed may vary among evaluators.evaluators and regulatory authorities. The activities and expense required to comply with new and varying criteria, laws, regulations or standards may be significant. Some investors focus on disclosures of ESG-related business practices and scores when choosing to allocate their capital and may consider a company's score in making an investment decision. Although we have undertaken and continue to pursue ESG initiatives and disclosures, there can be no assurance that we will score highly on ESG Matters across evaluators in the future. In addition, the criteria by which companies are rated may change, which could cause the Company to score differently or worse than it has in the past and may result in investors deciding to refrain from investing in us and/or result in a negative perception of the Company.

Company, all of which could have an adverse impact on the price of our securities.
Risks Relating to Debt and the Financial Markets
Our Substantial Indebtedness Could Adversely Affect Our Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Our business is subject to risks normally associated with debt financing. The total principal amount of our outstanding indebtedness was approximately $3,303.1$3,548.1 million as of December 31, 2021,2023, of which $349.0$31.0 million, or 10.57%0.87%, is related to our line of credit and $73.8$90.5 million of secured debt, or 2.23%2.55%, matures in 2022.2025 (with no secured or unsecured loans maturing in 2024). Our substantial indebtedness and the cash flows associated with serving our indebtedness could have important consequences, including the risks that:
our cash flows could be insufficient to pay distributions at expected levels and meet required payments of principal and interest;
we might be required to use a substantial portion of our cash flows from operations to pay our indebtedness, thereby reducing the availability of our cash flows to fund the implementation of our business strategy, acquisitions, capital expenditures and other general corporate purposes;
our debt service obligations could limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and the industry in which we operate;
terms of refinancing may not be as favorable as the terms of existing indebtedness, resulting in higher interest rates that could adversely affect net income, cash flows and our ability to service debt and make distributions to stockholders;
if principal payments due at maturity cannot be refinanced, extended or paid with proceeds of other capital transactions, such as new equity capital, our cash flows may not be sufficient in all years to repay all maturing debt; and
to the extent that any Property is cross-collateralized with any other Properties, any default under the mortgage note relating to one Property could result in a default under the financing arrangements relating to other Properties that also provide security for that mortgage note or are cross-collateralized with such mortgage note.

19


Our Ability to Obtain Mortgage Financing or Refinance Maturing Mortgages May Adversely Affect Our Financial Condition.
Lenders' demands on borrowers as to the quality of the collateral and related cash flows may make it challenging to secure financing on attractive terms or at all. Future marketMarket factors including increases in the U.S. federal reserve funds rate may result in an increaseincreases in market interest rates, which could increase the costs of refinancing existing indebtedness or obtaining new debt.
Additionally, future disruptions in capital and credit markets, including potential reforms to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, could impact both the capacity and liquidity of lenders, resulting in financing terms that are less attractive to us and/or the unavailability of certain types of debt financing. This could have an adverse effect on our ability to refinance maturing debt, and/or react to changing economic and business conditions.conditions or access capital necessary to fund business operations, including the acquisition or expansion of properties.

19


Financial Covenants Could Adversely Affect Our Financial Condition.
If a Property is mortgaged to secure payment of indebtedness and we are unable to meet mortgage payments, the mortgagee could foreclose on the Property, resulting in loss of income and asset value. The mortgages on our Properties contain customary negative covenants, which among other things limit our ability, without the prior consent of the lender, to further mortgage the Property and to discontinue insurance coverage. In addition, our unsecured credit facilities contain certain customary restrictions, requirements and other limitations on our ability to incur indebtedness, including total debt-to-assets ratios, debt service coverage ratios and minimum ratios of unencumbered assets to unsecured debt. Foreclosure on mortgaged Properties or an inability to refinance existing indebtedness would likely have a negative impact on our financial condition and results of operations.
Our Degree of Leverage Could Limit Our Ability to Obtain Additional Financing.
Our debt-to-market-capitalization ratio (total debt as a percentage of total debt plus the market value of the outstanding common stock and OP Units held by parties other than us) was approximately 16.2%20.5% as of December 31, 2021.2023. The degree of leverage could have important consequences to stockholders, including an adverse effect on our ability to obtain additional financing in the future for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, development or other general corporate purposes and could make us more vulnerable to a downturn in business or the economy generally.
We May Be Able to Incur Substantially More Debt, Which Would Increase the Risks Associated With Our Substantial Leverage.
Despite our current indebtedness levels, we may still be able to incur substantially more debt in the future. If new debt is added to our current debt levels, an even greater portion of our cash flow will be needed to satisfy our debt service obligations. As a result, the related risks that we now face could intensify and increase the risk of a default on our indebtedness.
We May Be Adversely Affected By Changes in LIBOR Reporting Practices or the Method in Which LIBOR Is Determined.
In July 2017, the Financial Conduct Authority, announced it intends to stop compelling banks to submit rates for the calculation of LIBOR after 2021. Beginning in March 2021, ICE Benchmark Administration, the administrator of LIBOR, has announced the end of certain LIBOR panels by December 31, 2021.
On July 29, 2021, the Alternative Reference Rates Committee (“ARRC”) formally recommended that the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) is the rate that represents best practice as the alternative to USD-LIBOR for use in financial contracts that are currently indexed to USD-LIBOR. ARRC has proposed a market transition plan to SOFR from USD-LIBOR and organizations are currently working on industry wide and company specific transition plans as it relates to derivatives and cash markets exposed to USD-LIBOR. Our floating rate borrowings are indexed to USD-LIBOR and we are monitoring this activity and evaluating the related risks. Although the full impact of such reforms and actions, together with any transition away from LIBOR, including the potential or actual discontinuance of LIBOR publication, remains unclear, these changes could have a material adverse impact on the availability of financing, including LIBOR-based loans and as a result on our financing costs.
Risks Related to Our Company Ownership
Provisions of Our Charter and Bylaws Could Inhibit Changes of Control.
Certain provisions of our charter and bylaws may delay or prevent a change of control or other transactions that could provide our stockholders with a premium over the then-prevailing market price of their common stock or future series of preferred stock, if any, which might otherwise be in the best interest of our stockholders. These include the Ownership Limit
20


described below.below and advance notice requirements for shareholder proposals and nomination of directors. Also, any future series of preferred stock may have certain voting provisions that could delay or prevent a change of control or other transaction that might involve a premium price or otherwise be beneficial to our stockholders.
Maryland Law Imposes Certain Limitations on Changes of Control.
Certain provisions of the Maryland General Corporation Law (“MGCL”) prohibit “business combinations” (including certain issuances of equity securities) with any person who beneficially owns 10% or more of the voting power of our outstanding common stock, or with an affiliate of ours, who, at any time within the two-year period prior to the date in question, was the owner of 10% or more of the voting power of our outstanding voting stock (an “Interested Stockholder”), or with an affiliate of an Interested Stockholder. These prohibitions last for five years after the most recent date on which the Interested Stockholder became an Interested Stockholder. After the five-year period, a business combination with an Interested Stockholder must be approved by two super-majority stockholder votes unless, among other conditions, our common stockholders receive a minimum price for their shares and the consideration is received in cash or in the same form as previously paid by the Interested Stockholder for shares of our common stock. The Board of Directors has exempted from these provisions under Maryland law any business combination with Samuel Zell, who is Chairman of our Board of Directors, certain holders of OP Units who received them at the time of our initial public offering and our officers who acquired common stock at the time we were formed and each and every affiliate of theirs.
Additionally, Subtitle 8 of Title 3 of the MGCL permits our Board of Directors, without stockholder approval and regardless of what is currently provided in our charter or bylaws, to elect to be subject to certain provisions relating to corporate governance that may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a transaction or a change of control of our company that might involve a premium to the market price of our common stock or otherwise be in our stockholders’ best interests. These provisions include a classified board; two-thirds vote to remove a director; that the number of directors may only be fixed by the Board of Directors; that vacancies on the board as a result of an increase in the size of the board or due to death, resignation or removal can only be filled by the board and the director appointed to fill the vacancy serves for the remainder of the full term of the class of director in which the vacancy occurred and a majority requirement for the calling by stockholders of special meetings. Through provisions in our charter and bylaws unrelated to Subtitle 8, we already (a) require a two-thirds vote
20


for the removal of any director from the board and (b) vest in the board the exclusive power to fix the number of directorships provided that, if there is stock outstanding and so long as there are three or more stockholders, the number is not less than three. In the future, our Board of Directors may elect, without stockholder approval, to make us subject to the provisions of Subtitle 8 to which we are not currently subject.
Our Board of Directors has power to adopt, alter or repeal any provision of our bylaws or make new bylaws, provided, however, that our stockholders may, with certain exceptions, alter or repeal any provision of our bylaws and adopt new bylaws if any such alteration, repeal or adoption is approved by the affirmative vote of a majority of all votes entitled to be cast on the matter.
Changes in Our Investment and Financing Policies May Be Made Without Stockholder Approval.
Our investment and financing policies and our policies with respect to certain other activities, including our growth, debt, capitalization, distributions, REIT status and operating policies, are determined by our Board of Directors. Although our Board of Directors has no present intention to do so, these policies may be amended or revised from time to time at the discretion of our Board of Directors without notice to or a vote of our stockholders. Accordingly, stockholders may not have control over changes in our policies and changes in our policies may not fully serve the interests of all stockholders.
Our Business Ethics and Conduct Policy May Not Adequately Address All Actual or Perceived Conflicts of Interest Could InfluenceThat May Arise With Respect to Our Decisions.Activities.
Certain stockholders could exercise influence in a manner inconsistent with stockholders' best interests. Mr. Zell and certain related entities, directlyIn order to avoid any actual or indirectly, beneficially own sharesperceived conflicts of our common stock and OP Units as disclosed in our Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A for the 2022 Annual Meeting incorporated by reference herein. Mr. Zell is the chairmaninterest involving any of our Board of Directors. Accordingly, Mr. Zell has significant influence onDirectors, our managementofficers or our employees, we have a business ethics and operation. Such influence couldconduct policy to specifically manage and address some of the potential conflicts relating to our activities. Although under this policy, specified transactions, agreements and relationships involving members of our Board of Directors, officers or employees must be exercisedapproved pursuant to the terms of the policy, there is no assurance that this policy will be adequate to address all of the conflicts that may arise or will address such conflicts in a manner that is inconsistent with the interestsfavorable to us. It is possible that actual, potential or perceived conflicts could give rise to investor dissatisfaction or litigation or regulatory enforcement actions. If we fail, or appear to fail, to identify, disclose and appropriately address potential conflicts of other stockholders. In addition, Mr. Zell and related entities continue tointerest, there could be involved in other investment activities. Mr. Zell and related entities have a broad and varied rangean adverse effect on our business or reputation regardless of investment interests, including interests in other real estate investment companies that own other forms of housing, including multifamily housing. Mr. Zell and related entities may acquire interests in other companies. Mr. Zell may not be able to control whether any such company competes with us.

claims have merit.
Risks Relating to Our Common Stock
We Depend on Our Subsidiaries' Dividends and Distributions.
Substantially all of our assets are owned indirectly by the Operating Partnership. As a result, we have no source of cash flows other than distributions from our Operating Partnership. For us to pay dividends to holders of our common stock, the Operating Partnership must first distribute cash to us. Before it can distribute the cash, our Operating Partnership must first satisfy its obligations to its creditors.
Market Interest Rates May Have an Effect on the Value of Our Common Stock.
One of the factors that investors consider important in deciding whether to buy or sell shares of a REIT is the distribution rates with respect to such shares (as a percentage of the price of such shares) relative to market interest rates. If market interest rates go up,increase, prospective purchasers of REIT shares may expect a higher distribution rate. Higher interest rates would not, however, result in more of our funds to distribute and, in fact, would likely increase our borrowing costs and potentially decrease funds available for distribution. Thus, higher market interest rates could cause the market price of our publicly traded securities to go down.
Issuances or Sales of Our Common Stock May Be Dilutive.
The issuance or sale of substantial amounts of our common stock could have a dilutive effect on our actual and expected earnings per share, FFO per share and Normalized Funds from Operations (“Normalized FFO”) per share. We have in the past and may in the future sell shares of our common stock under ouran ATM equity offering program from time-to-time. During the year ended December 31, 2021, we sold 1.7 million of our shares of our common stock through our ATM equity offering program. As of December 31, 2021, there are $59.7 million remaining shares available for issuance under our ATM equity program. The actual amount of dilution cannot be determined at this time and would be dependent upon numerous factors which are not currently known to us.
Our Share Price Could Be Volatile and Could Decline, Resulting in A Substantial or Complete Loss on Our Stockholders’ Investment.
We list our common stock on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) and our common stock could experience significant price and volume fluctuations. Investors in our common stock may experience a decrease in the value of their shares,
21


including decreases unrelated to our operating performance or prospects. The price of our common stock could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to a number of factors, including:
issuances of other equity securities in the future, including new series or classes of preferred stock;
our operating performance and the performance of other similar companies;
our ability to maintain compliance with covenants contained in our debt facilities;
actual or anticipated variations in our operating results, funds from operations, cash flows or liquidity;
changes in expectations of future financial performance or changes in our earnings estimates or those of analysts;
changes in our distribution policy;
publication of research reports about us or the real estate industry generally;
increases in market interest rates that lead purchasers of our common stock to demand a higher dividend yield;
changes in market valuations of similar companies;
adverse market reaction to the amount of our debt outstanding at any time, the amount of our debt maturing in the near-term and medium-term and our ability to refinance our debt, or our plans to incur additional debt in the future;
additions or departures of key employees, management, directors and other key personnel;
speculation in the press or investment community;
equity issuances by us, or share resales by our stockholders or the perception that such issuances or resales may occur;
addition to, or removal from, market indexes used by investors to make investment decisions;
actions by institutional stockholders; and
general market and economic conditions.
Many of the factors listed above are beyond our control. Those factors may cause the market price of our common stock to decline significantly, regardless of our financial condition, results of operations and prospects. It is impossible to provide any assurance that the market price of our common stock will not fall in the future, and it may be difficult for holders to resell shares of our common stock at prices they find attractive, or at all. In the past, securities class action litigation has often been instituted against companies following periods of volatility in their stock price. This type of litigation could result in substantial costs and divert our management’s attention and resources.

Risks Relating to REITs and Income Taxes
We are Dependent on External Sources of Capital.
To qualify as a REIT, we must distribute to our stockholders each year at least 90% of our REIT taxable income (determined without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and excluding any net capital gain). In addition, we intend to distribute all or substantially all of our net income so that we will generally not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on our earnings. Because of these distribution requirements, it is not likely that we will be able to fund all future capital needs, including acquisitions, from income from operations. We therefore will have to rely on third-party sources of debt and equity capital financing, which may or may not be available on favorable terms or at all. Our access to third-party sources of capital depends on a number of things, including conditions in the capital markets generally and the market's perception of our growth potential and our current and potential future earnings. It may be difficult for us to meet one or more of the requirements for qualification as a REIT, including but not limited to our distribution requirement. Moreover, additional equity offerings may result in substantial dilution of stockholders' interests and additional debt financing may substantially increase our leverage.
We Have a Stock Ownership Limit for REIT Tax Purposes.
To remain qualified as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes, not more than 50% in value of our outstanding shares of capital stock may be owned, directly or indirectly, by five or fewer individuals (as defined in the federal income tax laws applicable to REITs) at any time during the last half of any taxable year. To facilitate maintenance of our REIT qualification, our charter, subject to certain exceptions, prohibits Beneficial Ownership (as defined in our charter) by any single stockholder of more than 5% (in value or number of shares, whichever is more restrictive) of our outstanding capital stock. We refer to this as the “Ownership Limit”. Within certain limits, our charter permits the Board of Directors to increase the Ownership Limit with respect to any class or series of stock. The Board of Directors, upon receipt of a ruling from the IRS, opinion of counsel, or other evidence satisfactory to the Board of Directors and upon 15 days prior written notice of a proposed transfer which, if consummated, would result in the transferee owning shares in excess of the Ownership Limit, and upon such other conditions as the Board of Directors may direct, may exempt a stockholder from the Ownership Limit. Absent any such exemption, capital stock acquired or held in violation of the Ownership Limit will be transferred by operation of law to us as trustee for the benefit of the person to whom such capital stock is ultimately transferred and the stockholder's rights to distributions and to vote would terminate. Such stockholder would be entitled to receive, from the proceeds of any subsequent sale of the capital stock we transferred as trustee, the lesser of (i) the price paid for the capital stock or, if the owner did not pay for the capital stock (for example, in the case of a gift, devise or other such transaction), the market price of the capital stock on
22


the date of the event causing the capital stock to be transferred to us as trustee or (ii) the amount realized from such sale. A transfer of capital stock may be void if it causes a person to violate the Ownership Limit. The Ownership Limit could delay or prevent a change in control of us and therefore, could adversely affect our stockholders' ability to realize a premium over the then-prevailing market price for their common stock or adversely affect the best interest of our stockholders.
Our Qualification as a REIT Is Dependent on Compliance with U.S. Federal Income Tax Requirements.
We believe we have been organized and operated in a manner so as to qualify for taxation as a REIT and we intend to continue to operate so as to qualify as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Our current and continuing qualification as a REIT depends on our ability to meet the various requirements imposed by the Code, which relate to organizational structure, distribution levels, diversity of stock ownership and certain restrictions with regard to owned assets and categories of income. If we qualify for taxation as a REIT, we are generally not subject to U.S. federal income tax on our taxable income that is distributed to our stockholders. However, qualification as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes is governed by highly technical and complex provisions of the Code for which there are only limited judicial or administrative interpretations. In connection with certain transactions, we have received, and relied upon, advice of counsel as to the impact of such transactions on our qualification as a REIT. Our qualification as a REIT requires analysis of various facts and circumstances that may not be entirely within our control and we cannot provide any assurance that the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) will agree with our analysis or the analysis of our tax counsel. In particular, the proper U.S. federal income tax treatment of right-to-use membership contracts and rental income from certain short-term stays at RV communities is uncertain and there is no assurance that the IRS will agree with our treatment of such contracts or rental income. If the IRS were to disagree with our analysis or our tax counsel's analysis of various facts and circumstances, our ability to qualify as a REIT could be adversely affected.
In addition, legislation, new regulations, administrative interpretations or court decisions might significantly change the tax laws with respect to the requirements for qualification as a REIT or the U.S. federal income tax consequences of qualification as a REIT.
If, with respect to any taxable year, we failed to maintain our qualification as a REIT (and if specified relief provisions under the Code were not applicable to such disqualification), we would be disqualified from treatment as a REIT for the four
23


taxable years following the year during which qualification was lost. If we lost our REIT status, we could not deduct distributions to stockholders in computing our net taxable income at regular corporate rates and we would be subject to U.S. federal income tax on our net taxable incomes. If we had to pay U.S. federal income tax, the amount of money available to distribute to stockholders and pay indebtedness would be reduced for the year or years involved and we would no longer be required to distribute money to stockholders. Although we currently intend to operate in a manner designed to allow us to qualify as a REIT, future economic, market, legal, tax or other considerations may cause us to revoke the REIT election.
Furthermore, we own a direct interest in a subsidiary REIT and in the past we have owned interests in other subsidiary REITs, each of which elected to be taxed as REITs under Sections 856 through 860 of the Code. Provided that each subsidiary REIT that we own qualifies as a REIT, our interest in such subsidiary REIT will be treated as a qualifying real estate asset for purposes of the REIT asset tests and any dividend income or gains derived by us from such subsidiary REIT will generally be treated as income that qualifies for purposes of the REIT gross income tests. To qualify as a REIT, the subsidiary REIT must independently satisfy all of the REIT qualification requirements. If such subsidiary REIT were to fail to qualify as a REIT and certain relief provisions did not apply, it would be treated as a regular taxable corporation and its income would be subject to U.S. federal income tax. In addition, a failure of the subsidiary REIT to qualify as a REIT could have an adverse effect on our ability to comply with the REIT income and asset tests and thus our ability to qualify as a REIT.
We May Pay Some Taxes, Reducing Cash Available for Stockholders.
Even if we qualify as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes, we may be subject to some U.S. federal, foreign, state and local taxes on our income and property. Since January 1, 2001, certain of our corporate subsidiaries have elected to be treated as “taxable REIT subsidiaries” for U.S. federal income tax purposes and are taxable as regular corporations and subject to certain limitations on intercompany transactions. If tax authorities determine that amounts paid by our taxable REIT subsidiaries to us are greater than what would be paid under similar arrangements among unrelated parties, we could be subject to a 100% penalty tax on the excess payments and ongoing intercompany arrangements could have to change, resulting in higher ongoing tax payments. To the extent we are required to pay U.S. federal, foreign, state or local taxes or U.S. federal penalty taxes due to existing laws or changes to them, we will have less cash available for distribution to our stockholders.
Dividends Payable by REITs Generally Do Not Qualify For the Reduced Tax Rates Available For Some Dividends, Which May Negatively Affect the Value of Our Shares.
23


Income from “qualified dividends” payable to U.S. stockholders that are individuals, trusts and estates are generally subject to tax at preferential rates, currently at a maximum federal rate of 20%. Dividends payable by REITs, however, generally are not eligible for the preferential tax rates applicable to qualified dividend income. Under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, or the TCJA, however, U.S. stockholders that are individuals, trusts and estates generally may deduct up to 20% of the ordinary dividends (e.g., dividends not designated as capital gain dividends or qualified dividend income) received from a REIT for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017 and before January 1, 2026. Although this deduction reduces the effective tax rate applicable to certain dividends paid by REITs (generally to 29.6% assuming the shareholder is subject to the 37% maximum rate), such tax rate is still higher than the tax rate applicable to corporate dividends that constitute qualified dividend income. Accordingly, investors who are individuals, trusts and estates may perceive investments in REITs to be relatively less attractive than investments in the stocks of non-REIT corporations that pay dividends, which could materially and adversely affect the value of the shares of REITs, including the per share trading price of our common stock.
Partnership Tax Audit Rules Could Have a Material Adverse Effect on Us.
The Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015 changed the rules applicable to U.S. federal income tax audits of partnerships. Under the rules, effective for taxable years beginning in 2018, among other changes and subject to certain exceptions, any audit adjustment to items of income, gain, loss, deduction, or credit of a partnership (and a partner's allocable share thereof) is determined and taxes, interest and penalties attributable thereto are assessed and collected, at the partnership level. Unless the partnership makes an election permitted under the new law or takes certain steps to require the partners to pay their tax on their allocable shares of the adjustment, it is possible that partnerships in which we directly or indirectly invest, including the Operating Partnership, would be required to pay additional taxes, interest and penalties as a result of an audit adjustment. We, as a direct or indirect partner of the Operating Partnership and other partnerships, could be required to bear the economic burden of those taxes, interest and penalties even though` the Company, as a REIT, may not otherwise have been required to pay additional corporate-level tax. The changes created by these rules are significant for collecting tax in partnership audits and accordingly, there can be no assurance that these rules will not have a material adverse effect on us.

We May be Subject to Adverse Legislative or Regulatory Tax Changes That Could Reduce the Market Price of Our Outstanding Common or Preferred Shares.
The IRS, the United States Treasury Department and Congress frequently review U.S. federal income tax legislation, regulations and other guidance. We cannot predict whether, when or to what extent new U.S. federal tax laws, regulations, interpretations or rulings will be adopted. Any legislative action may prospectively or retroactively modify our tax treatment and therefore, may adversely affect our taxation or our Company's shareholders. We urge you to consult with your tax advisor with respect to the status of legislative, regulatory or administrative developments and proposals and their potential effect on an investment in our stock. Although REITs generally receive certain tax advantages compared to entities taxed as “C” corporations, it is possible that future legislation would result in a REIT having fewer tax advantages and it could become more advantageous for a company that invests in real estate to elect to be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a “C” corporation.
Other Risk Factors Affecting Our Business
We May Identify Material Weaknesses in the Future or Otherwise Fail to Establish and Maintain Effective Internal Control Over Financial Reporting, Which Could Have a Material Adverse Effect on Our Business and Stock Price.

We are subject to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”), which requires us to maintain internal control over financial reporting and to report any material weaknesses in such internal control. In addition, our independent registered public accounting firm is required to express an opinion on our internal control over financial reporting based on their audit.

We can give no assurance that additional material weaknesses or restatements of financial results will not arise in the future due to a failure to implement and maintain adequate internal control over financial reporting or circumvention of these controls. In the future, our internal controls may not be adequate to prevent or identify irregularities or errors or to facilitate the fair presentation of our consolidated financial statements, and there is risk that a material misstatement of our annual or quarterly financial statements may not be prevented or detected. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met.

Any failure to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting could adversely impact our ability to report our financial position and results of operations on a timely and accurate basis. If our financial statements are inaccurate, investors may not have a complete understanding of our operations. Likewise, if our financial statements are not filed on a timely basis,
24


we could be subject to sanctions or investigations by the NYSE, the SEC or other regulatory authorities. In either case, there could be an adverse affect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Ineffective internal control over financial reporting could also cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, which could have a negative effect on the trading price of our stock.

We May Face Litigation and Other Risks as a Result of the Classification Error and Related Material Weakness in Our Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.

As a result of the classification error and related material weakness described in Part II, Item 9A. Controls and Procedures, we face the potential for litigation or other disputes which may include, among others, claims invoking the federal and state securities laws, and contractual or other claims arising from the restatement, material weakness, and the preparation of our financial statements. As of the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, we have no knowledge of any such litigation or dispute arising due to the restatement or material weakness. However, we can provide no assurance that any litigation or dispute will not arise in the future. Any litigation or dispute, whether successful or not, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Some Potential Losses Are Not Covered by Insurance.
We carry comprehensive insurance coverage for losses resulting from property damage and environmental liability and business interruption claims on all of our Properties. In addition, we carry liability coverage for other activities not specifically related to property operations. These coverages include, but are not limited to, Directors & Officers liability, EmployerEmployment Practices liability, Fiduciary liability and Cyber liability. We believe that the policy specifications and coverage limits of these policies should be adequate and appropriate.appropriate given the relative risk of loss, the cost of insurance and industry practice. There are, however, certain types of losses, such as punitive damages, lease and other contract claims that generally are not insured. Should an uninsured loss or a loss in excess of coverage limits occur, we could lose all or a portion of the capital we have invested in a Property or the anticipated future revenue from a Property. In such an event, we might nevertheless remain obligated for any mortgage debt or other financial obligations related to the Property.
Our current property and casualty insurance policies with respect to our MH and RV Properties, which we plan to renew, expire on April 1, 2022.2024. We increased our loss limit from $100 million to $125have a $125.0 million per occurrence limit with respect to our MH and RV all-risk property insurance program, includingwhich includes approximately $50.0 million of coverage per occurrence for named windstorms, which include, for example, hurricanes. ThisThe loss limit is subject to additional sub-limits as set forth in the policy form, including, among others, a $25$25.0 million aggregate loss limit for earthquake(s) in California. The deductibles for this policy primarily range from $500,000 minimum to 5% per unit of insurance for most catastrophic events. For most catastrophic events, there is an additional one-time aggregate deductible of $2$10.0 million, which is capped at $1$5.0 million per occurrence. We have separate insurance policies with respect to our marina Properties. Those casualty policies which were recently renewed,will expire on November 1, 20222024, and the property insurance program, which we plan to renew, expires on April 1, 20222024. The marina property insurance program has a $25.0 million per occurrence limit, subject to self-insurance and has a minimum deductible of $100,000.$100,000 plus, for named windstorms, 5% per unit of insurance subject to a $500,000 minimum. A deductible indicates our maximum exposure, subject to policy limits and sub-limits, in the event of a loss.
We Face Risks Relating to Cybersecurity Incidents and Privacy Laws.
We rely extensively on internally and externally hosted computer systems to process transactions, manage the privacy and security of data, including customer data, and manageoperate our business. Critical components of our systems are dependent upon third-party providers and a significant portion of our business operations are conducted over the internet. These systems, as well as our other information technology systems and websitesour networks are subject to system security risks, cybersecurity breaches, outages, disruptions, including disruptions that result in our and our customers' loss of access to our information systems, and other risks. These could include malware, ransomware, and cybersecurity attacks, attempts to gain unauthorized access to our data and computer systems or steal confidential information, including credit card information from our customers, or they could include breaches due to employee error, malfeasance or other disruptions including disruptions that result in our and our customers' loss of access to our information systems.employees, independent contractors or consultants. Even if we are not targeted directly, cybercybersecurity attacks on other entities and institutions, including our customers, vendors, or other third parties with whom we do business, may occur and such events could impact our systems and networks, and disrupt our normal business operations and networks in the future.operations. Attacks can be both individual or highly organized attempts by very sophisticated hacking organizations. We employ a number of measures to prevent, detect and mitigate these threats.threats, but these measures may not be sufficient to mitigate all related risks. While we continue to improve our cybersecurity and take measures to protect our business, it may not always be possible to anticipate, detect, or recognize threats to our systems, or to implement effective preventive measures, andnor to ensure that our financial results will not be negatively impacted by such an incident. The extent of a particular cybercybersecurity attack and the steps that we may need to take to investigate the attack also may not be immediately clear. Additionally, with the outbreak of COVID-19, certain of our corporate and regional staff have been regularly working remotely, further increasing our dependence on computer systems to process transactions and manage our business, as well as the risk of a loss event due to a cybersecurity incident. A cybersecurity incident could compromise the confidential information of our employees, customers and vendors to the
25


extent such information exists on our systems or on the systems of third-party providers. Information and data maintained in digital form are subject to the risks of unauthorized access, modification, exfiltration, destruction or denial of access. Any compromise of our security could result in a violation of applicable privacy, information security, and other laws, and could result in potential liability, damage our reputation and disrupt and affect our business operations and result in
25


lawsuits against us. Privacy and information security lawswhich continue to evolve and may be inconsistent from one jurisdiction to another.another, and could result in potential liability, damage our reputation, disrupt and affect our business operations and result in lawsuits against us. Furthermore, we may not be able to recover these expenses from our service providers, responsible parties, or insurance carriers.carriers, the amount of which could be significant. In addition, cybersecurity is an issue that is becoming increasingly regulated. As regulations take effect or evolve it is possible we may encounter issues being fully compliant with these legal standards which could result in material adverse effects on our business.
Social Media Platforms Could Cause Us to Suffer Brand Damage or Information Leakage.
Negative information about us, or our officers, employees, directors or Properties, even if untrue, could damage our reputation. In particular, information shared on social media platforms could cause us to suffer brand damage because social media platforms have increased the rapidity of the dissemination and greatly expanded the potential scope and scale of the impact of negative publicity. Furthermore, current or former employees, customers or others might make negative comments regarding us, publicly share material that reflects negatively on our reputation or disclose non-public sensitive information relating to our business. While we have customary internal policies related to posting Company information on public platforms, including social media sites, the continuing evolution of social media will present us with new challenges and risks.

Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments
None.

Item 1C. Cybersecurity
Cybersecurity represents an important component of the Company’s overall approach to risk management. The Company’s cybersecurity policies, standards and practices are fully integrated into the Company’s enterprise risk management (“ERM”) approach, and cybersecurity risks are subject to oversight by the Company’s Board of Directors. The Company generally approaches cybersecurity threats through a cross-functional, multilayered approach, with the goals of: (i) identifying, preventing and mitigating cybersecurity threats to the Company; (ii) preserving the confidentiality, security and availability of the information that we collect and store to use in our business; (iii) protecting the Company’s intellectual property; and (iv) maintaining the confidence of our customers, clients and business partners.
Risk Management and Strategy
Consistent with overall ERM policies and practices, the Company’s cybersecurity program focuses on the following areas:
Vigilance: The Company maintains a primarily domestic presence, with our cybersecurity threat operations designed with the specific goal of identifying, preventing and mitigating cybersecurity threats and responding to cybersecurity incidents in accordance with our established incident response and recovery plans.
Systems Safeguards: The Company deploys systems safeguards that are designed to protect the Company’s information systems from cybersecurity threats, including firewalls, intrusion prevention and detection systems, software updates and patches, anti-malware functionality and access controls, which are evaluated and improved through ongoing vulnerability assessments and cybersecurity threat intelligence.
Collaboration: The Company utilizes collaboration mechanisms established with public and private entities, including intelligence and enforcement agencies, industry groups and third-party service providers, to identify, assess and respond to cybersecurity risks.
Third-Party Risk Management: The Company maintains a comprehensive, risk-based approach to identifying and overseeing cybersecurity risks presented by third parties, including vendors, service providers and other external users of the Company’s systems, as well as the systems of third parties that could adversely impact our business in the event of a cybersecurity incident affecting those third-party systems.
Training: The Company provides periodic mandatory training for personnel regarding cybersecurity threats, which reinforces the Company’s information security policies, standards and practices, and such training is scaled to reflect the roles, responsibilities and information systems access of such personnel.
26


Incident Response and Recovery Planning: The Company has established and maintains incident response and recovery plans that address the Company’s response to a cybersecurity incident and the recovery from a cybersecurity incident, and such plans are tested and evaluated periodically.
Communication and Coordination: The Company utilizes a cross-functional approach to address the risk from cybersecurity threats, involving management personnel from the Company’s technology, operations, legal, risk management, internal audit and other key business functions, as well as the members of the Board of Directors and the Audit Committee in an ongoing dialogue regarding cybersecurity threats and incidents.
A key part of the Company’s strategy for managing risks from cybersecurity threats is the ongoing assessment and testing of the Company’s processes and practices through auditing, assessments, tabletop exercises, threat modeling, vulnerability testing and other exercises focused on evaluating the effectiveness of our cybersecurity measures. The Company regularly engages third parties to perform assessments on our cybersecurity measures, including information security maturity assessments, audits and independent reviews of our information security control environment and operating effectiveness. The results of such assessments, audits and reviews are reported to the Audit Committee and the Board of Directors, and the Company considers adjustments to its cybersecurity policies, standards, processes and practices as necessary based on the information provided by the assessments, audits and reviews.
The Company is not aware of any cybersecurity incidents in the last three years that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect the business strategy, results of operations, or financial condition of the Company. For more information regarding how cybersecurity threats could materially affect the Company, see "We Face Risks Relating to Cybersecurity Incidents and Privacy Laws." in Item 1A. Risk Factors.
Governance
The Board of Directors, in coordination with the Audit Committee, oversees the management of risks from cybersecurity threats, including the policies, standards, processes and practices that the Company’s management implements to address risks from cybersecurity threats. The Board of Directors and the Audit Committee each receive regular presentations and reports on cybersecurity risks, which address a wide range of topics including, for example, recent developments, evolving standards, vulnerability assessments, third-party and independent reviews, the threat environment, technological trends and information security considerations arising with respect to the Company’s peers and third parties. The Board of Directors and the Audit Committee receive prompt and timely information regarding any cybersecurity incident that meets established reporting guidelines. Decisions regarding the disclosure and reporting of such incidents are made by management in a timely manner. The Board of Directors and Audit Committee receive ongoing updates regarding any such incidents until they have been addressed. The Audit Committee regularly interacts with the Company's ERM function, the Company's Vice President of Information Technology, other members of management and relevant management committees, including the Company's Security Advisory Board and Cybersecurity Incident Response Team. On a quarterly basis each year, the Audit Committee discusses the Company’s approach to cybersecurity risk management with the Company’s Vice President of Information Technology.
The Company’s Vice President of Information Technology is the member of the Company’s management that is principally responsible for overseeing the Company’s cybersecurity risk management program, in partnership with other business leaders across the Company. The Vice President of Information Technology works in coordination with the other members of the Security Advisory Board, which includes our President and Chief Executive Officer, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer and Executive Vice President and Chief Legal Officer. The Company’s Vice President of Information Technology has over 25 years in Information Technology leadership including 15 years overseeing security and compliance operations. The Director of Information Security has over 15 years in various security roles in private and public sectors and has attained the professional certification of Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP).
The Company’s Vice President of Information Technology and Director of Information Security, in coordination with the Security Advisory Board and Cybersecurity Incident Response Team, work collaboratively across the Company to implement a program designed to protect the Company’s information systems from cybersecurity threats and to promptly respond to any cybersecurity incidents. To facilitate the success of this program, multidisciplinary teams throughout the Company are deployed to address cybersecurity threats and to respond to cybersecurity incidents in accordance with the Company’s incident response and recovery plans. Through the ongoing communications from these teams, the Vice President of Information Technology and Director of Information Security, in coordination with the Security Advisory Board and Cybersecurity Incident Response Team monitor the prevention, detection, mitigation and remediation of cybersecurity incidents in real time, and report such incidents to the Audit Committee when appropriate.

Item 2. Properties
General
Our Properties provide common area facilities and attractive amenities that create an inviting community for our residents and guests. These common area facilities generally include a clubhouse, a swimming pool, laundry facilities, cable television and internet service. Many Properties also offer additional amenities such as golf courses, tennis, pickleball, shuffleboard and basketball courts, sauna/whirlpool spas, exercise rooms and various social activities. It is our responsibility to provide maintenance of the common area facilities and amenities and to ensure that our residents and guests comply with our community policies, including maintaining their homes and the surrounding area. Most of our residents own their homes; and therefore, also have a vested interest to care for their homes. We hold regular meetings with management personnel at our Properties to understand and address the needs of our residents and guests and to provide necessary trainings. Our Properties historically have had, and we believe they will continue to have, low turnover and high occupancy rates.
Property Portfolio
As of December 31, 2021,2023, we owned or had an ownership interest in a portfolio of 444451 Properties located predominantly in the United States containing 169,296172,465 Sites. A total of 117120 of the Properties were encumbered by debt (see Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data—Note 9. Borrowing Arrangements). The distribution of our Properties reflects our belief that geographic diversification helps to insulate the total portfolio from regional economic influences. We intend to target new acquisitions in or near markets where our Properties are located and will also consider acquisitions of properties outside such markets.
Our two largest Properties as determined by property operating revenues excluding deferrals, were Colony Cove, located in Ellenton, Florida and ViewPoint RV & Golf Resort, located in Mesa, Arizona. Each accounted for approximately 2.0% of our total property operating revenues excluding deferrals, for the year ended December 31, 2021.2023.
The following table sets forth certain information relating to our 433437 wholly-owned Properties containing 166,479168,901 Sites as of December 31, 2021,2023, not including Properties owned through joint ventures. These Properties are categorized by major market. For RV and marina Properties, the total number of annual Sites represents Sites occupied by annual residents and are presented as 100% occupied. Annual Site occupancy percentage subtotals by market and grand total are presented on a weighted average basis.

Certain of our executive officers and directors may from time to time adopt non-discretionary, written trading plans that comply with Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 10b5-1, or otherwise monetize their equity-based compensation. Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 10b5-1 provides executives with a method to monetize their equity-based compensation in an automatic and non-discretionary manner over time.
Dividends and Distributions
We distribute regular quarterly dividends to our stockholders. In order to maintain our qualification as a REIT, we are required, among other things, to distribute annually at least 90% of our REIT taxable income, determined without regard to the dividends paid deduction and any net capital gain. In addition, we intend to distribute all or substantially all of our net income so that we will generally not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on our earnings.
In general, our Board of Directors makes decisions regarding the nature, frequency and amount of our dividends on a quarterly basis. The Board considers many factors when making these decisions, including our present and future liquidity needs, our current and projected financial condition and results of operations. As such, there can be no assurance that we will maintain the practice of paying regular quarterly dividends to continue to qualify as a REIT. See Item 1A. Risk Factors in this Form 10-K for a description of factors that may affect our ability to distribute dividends.

Overview and Outlook
We are a self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust (“REIT”) with headquarters in Chicago, Illinois. We are a fully integrated owner of lifestyle-oriented properties (“Properties”) consisting of property operations and home sales and rental operations primarily within manufactured home (“MH”) and recreational vehicle (“RV”) communities and marinas. As of December 31, 2021,2023, we owned or had an ownership interest in a portfolio of 444451 Properties located throughout the United States and Canada containing 169,296172,465 individual developed areas (“Sites”). These Properties are located in 35 states and British Columbia, with more than 110 Properties with lake, river or ocean frontage and more than 120 Properties within 10 miles of the coastal United States.
We invest in properties in sought-after locations near retirement and vacation destinations and urban areas across the United States with a focus on delivering an exceptional experience to our residents and guests that results in delivery of value to stockholders. Our business model is intended to provide an opportunity for increased cash flows and appreciation in value. We
42

Management's Discussion and Analysis (continued)
seek growth in earnings, Funds from Operations (“FFO”) and cash flows by enhancing the profitability and operation of our Properties and investments. We accomplish this by attracting and retaining high quality customers to our Properties, who take pride in our Properties and in their homes and efficiently managing our Properties by increasing occupancy, maintaining competitive market rents and controlling expenses. We also actively pursue opportunities that fit our acquisition criteria and are currently engaged in various stages of negotiations relating to the possible acquisition of additional properties.
We believe the demand from baby boomers for MH and RV communities will continue to be strong over the long term. It is estimated that approximately 10,000 baby boomers are turning 65 daily through 2030. In addition, the population age 55 and older is expected to grow 17% within the next 15 years.2029. These individuals, seeking an active lifestyle, will continue to drive the market for second-home sales as vacation properties, investment opportunities or retirement retreats. We expect it is likely that over the next decade, we will continue to see high levels of second-home sales and that manufactured homes and cottages in our Properties will continue to provide a viable second-home alternative to site-built homes. We also believe the Millennial and Generation Z demographic will contribute to our future long-term customer pipeline.
43

Management's Discussion and Analysis (continued)
After conducting a comprehensive study of RV ownership, according to the Recreational Vehicle Industry Association (“RVIA��RVIA”), data suggested that RV sales are expected to benefit from an increase in demand from those born in the United States from 1980 to 2003, or Millennials and Gen Z, over the coming years. We believe the demand from baby boomers and these younger generations will continue to outpace supply for MH and RV communities. The entitlement process to develop new MH and RV communities is extremely restrictive. As a result, there have been limited new communities developed in our target geographic markets.
We generate the majority of our revenues from customers renting our Sites or entering into right-to-use contracts, also known as membership subscriptions, which provide them access to specific Properties for limited stays. MH Sites are generally leased on an annual basis to residents who own or lease factory-built homes, including manufactured homes. Annual RV and marina Sites are leased on an annual basis to customers who generally have an RV, factory-built cottage, boat or other unit placed on the site, including those Northern properties that are open for the summer season. Seasonal RV and marina Sites are leased to customers generally for one to six months. Transient RV and marina Sites are leased to customers on a short-term basis. The revenue from seasonal and transient Sites is generally higher during the first and third quarters. We consider the transient revenue stream to be our most volatile as it is subject to weather conditions and other factors affecting the marginal RV customer's vacation and travel preferences. We also generate revenue from customers renting our marina dry storage. Additionally, we have interests in joint venture Properties for which revenue is classified as Equity in income from unconsolidated joint ventures on the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income.
Approximately one quarter of our rental agreements on MH Sites contain rent increase provisions that are directly or indirectly connected to the published CPI statistics issued from June through September of the year prior to the increase effective date. Approximately two-thirds of these rental agreements are subject to a CPI floor of approximately 3.0% to 5.0%.
State and local rent control regulations affect 28 wholly-owned Properties, including 1514 of our 4947 California Properties, all 7 of our Delaware Properties, 1 of our 2 Maryland Properties, 1 of our 5 Massachusetts Properties, 1 of our 11 New Jersey Properties, 1 of our 7 New York Properties, 1 of our 14 Washington Properties and 3 of our 11 Oregon Properties. These rent control regulations govern rent increases and generally permit us to increase rates by a percentage of the increase in the national, regional or local CPI, depending on the rent control ordinance. These rate increases generally range from 60.0% to 100.0% of CPI with certain limits depending on the jurisdiction.

Management's Discussion and Analysis (continued)
In our Home Sales and Rentals Operations business, our revenue streams include home sales, home rentals and brokerage services and ancillary activities. We generate revenue through home sales and rental operations by selling or leasing manufactured homes and cottages that are located in Properties owned and managed by us. We believe renting our vacant homes represents an attractive source of occupancy and an opportunity to convert the renter to a homebuyer in the future. We also sell and rent homes through our joint venture, ECHO Financing, LLC (the “ECHO JV”). Additionally, home sale brokerage services are offered to our residents who may choose to sell their homes rather than relocate them when moving from a Property. At certain Properties, we operate ancillary facilities, such as golf courses, pro shops, stores and restaurants.
In the manufactured housing industry, options for home financing, also known as chattel financing, are limited. Chattel financing options available today include community owner-funded programs or third-party lender programs that provide subsidized financing to customers and often require the community owner to guarantee customer defaults. Third-party lender programs have stringent underwriting criteria, sizable down payment requirements, short term loan amortization and high interest rates. We have a limited program under which we purchase loans made by an unaffiliated lender to homebuyers at our Properties.
Under the existing administration, the Federal Housing Finance Agency (the “FHFA”), overseer of Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac (the “GSEs”) and the Federal Home Loan Banks, has focused on equitable access to affordable and sustainable housing. In 2017, the FHFA published the Underserved Markets Plans for 2018-2020 (the “GSE Plans”) under the Duty-To-Serve (“DTS”) provisions mandated by the Federal Housing Enterprises Financial Safety and Soundness Act of 1992, as amended by the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008. The GSEs subsequently added a 2021 Plan as a one-year extension and have since submittedpublished their current 2022-2024 Plans to FHFA and have received comment.Plans.
The FHFA mandate requires the GSE Plans to address leadership in developing loan products and flexible underwriting guidelines in underserved markets to facilitate a secondary market for mortgages on manufactured homes titled as real property or personal property, blanket loans for certain categories of manufactured housing communities, preserving the affordability of housing for renters and homebuyers, and housing in rural markets. While the FHFA and the current GSE 2022-24 DTS Plans may have a positive impact on the ability of our customers to obtain chattel financing, the actual impact on us, as well as the industry, cannot be determined at this time.
In addition to net income computed in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), we assess and measure our overall financial and operating performance using certain Non-GAAP supplemental measures, which include: (i) FFO, (ii) Normalized FFO, (iii) Income from property operations, (iv) Income from property operations, excluding deferrals and property management, and (v) Core Portfolio income from property operations, excluding deferrals and property management (operating results for Properties owned and operated in both periods under comparison) and (vi) Income from rental operations, net of depreciation.. We use these measures internally to evaluate the operating performance of our portfolio and provide a basis for comparison with other real estate companies. Definitions and reconciliations of these measures to the most comparable GAAP measures are included below in this discussion.
COVID-19 Pandemic Update
On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) a pandemic. Since the COVID-19 pandemic began, we have taken actions to prioritize the safety and security of our employees, residents and customers, while maintaining our high-quality standards in service to our residents and customers. We have implemented and may continue to implement Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (“CDC”) and local public health department guidelines and protocols for social distancing and enhanced community and office cleaning procedures. Our Properties continue to be open subject to seasons of operations and state and local guidelines. Our property offices are open to residents and customers and we are complying with CDC recommended protocols.
We began 2021 in an uncertain environment with the Canadian border closed and changing travel patterns throughout our portfolio. As 2021 progressed we experienced strong demand across our business, particularly in our RV portfolio, as our

customers sought safe vacation and leisure activities and appreciated the opportunity to spend time outdoors. For additional details, see Results Overview.
We attribute the solid performance of our business to the fundamentals of our business model. The property locations and the lifestyle we offer have broad appeal to customers interested in enjoying an outdoor experience. We believe this is particularly relevant in a COVID-19 impacted environment. We intend to continue to monitor the rapidly evolving situation and we may take further actions that alter our business operations as may be required and that are in the best interests of our employees, residents, customers and shareholders. The extent of the impact that COVID-19 will have on our business going forward, including our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows, is dependent on multiple factors, many of which are unknown. For additional details, see Item 1A. Risk Factors.
Results Overview

Our Core Portfolio could change from time-to-time depending on acquisitions, dispositions and significant transactions or unique situations. Our Core Portfolio in 20212023 and 20202022 includes all Properties acquired prior to December 31, 20192021 that we have owned and operated continuously since January 1, 2020. 2022. Our Non-Core Portfolio includes all Properties that were not owned and operated during all of 2022 and 2023, including six properties in Florida impacted by Hurricane Ian and two properties in California that were impacted by storm and flooding events.
For the year ended December 31, 2021,2023, property operating revenues in our Core Portfolio, excluding deferrals, increased 8.3%5.8% and property operating expenses in our Core Portfolio, excluding deferrals and property management, increased 7.7%7.0%, from the year ended December 31, 2020,2022, resulting in an increase in income from property operations, excluding deferrals and property management, of 8.8%5.0%.
While we continue to focus on increasing the number of manufactured homeowners in our Core Portfolio, we also believe renting our vacant homes represents an attractive source of occupancy and an opportunity to potentially convert the renter to a new homebuyer in the future. We continue to expect there to be fluctuations in the sources of occupancy gains

Qualification as a REIT
Commencing with our taxable year ended December 31, 1993, we have elected to be taxed as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes. We believe we have met the requirements and have qualified for taxation as a REIT and we plan to continue to meet these requirements. The requirements for qualification as a REIT are highly technical and complex, as they pertain to the ownership of our outstanding stock, the nature of our assets, the sources of our income and the amount of our
47

Management's Discussion and Analysis (continued)
distributions to our stockholders. Examples include that at least 95% of our gross income must come from sources that are itemized in the REIT tax laws and at least 90% of our REIT taxable income, computed without regard to our deduction for dividends paid and our net capital gain, must be distributed to stockholders annually. If we fail to qualify as a REIT and are unable to correct such failure, we would be subject to U.S. federal income tax at regular corporate rates. Additionally, we could remain disqualified as a REIT for four years following the year we first failed to qualify. Even if we qualify for taxation as a REIT, we are subject to certain foreign, state and local taxes on our income and property and U.S. federal income and excise taxes on our undistributed income.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations include certain Non-GAAP financial measures that in management's view of the business are meaningful as they allow investors the ability to understand key operating details of our business both with and without regard to certain accounting conventions or items that may not always be indicative of recurring annual cash flow of the portfolio. These Non-GAAP financial measures as determined and presented by us may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies and include income from property operations and Core Portfolio, FFO, and Normalized FFO and income from rental operations, net of depreciation.FFO.
We believe investors should review Income from property operations and Core Portfolio, FFO, and Normalized FFO, and Income from rental operations, net of depreciation, along with GAAP net income and cash flows from operating activities, investing activities and financing activities, when evaluating an equity REIT's operating performance. A discussion of Income from property operations and Core Portfolio, FFO, Normalized FFO and Income from rental operations, net of depreciation and a reconciliation to net income, are included below.
Income from Property Operations and Core Portfolio
We use income from property operations, income from property operations, excluding deferrals and property management and Core Portfolio income from property operations, excluding deferrals and property management, as alternative measures to evaluate the operating results of our Properties. Income from property operations represents rental income, membership subscriptions and upgrade sales, utility and other income less property and rental home operating and maintenance expenses, real estate taxes, membership sales and marketing expenses and property management expenses. Income from property operations, excluding deferrals and property management, represents income from property operations excluding property management

Management's Discussion expenses. Property management represents the expenses associated with indirect costs such as off-site payroll and Analysis (continued)
certain administrative and professional expenses. We believe exclusion of property management expenses is helpful to investors and the impactanalysts as a measure of the GAAP deferralsoperating results of membership upgrade sales upfront payments and membership sales commissions, net.our properties, excluding items that are not directly related to the operation of the properties. For comparative purposes, we present bad debt expense within Property operating maintenance and real estate taxesmaintenance in the current and prior periods. We believe that this Non-GAAP financial measure is helpful to investors and analysts as a measure of the operating results of our properties.
Our Core Portfolio consists of our Properties owned and operated during all of 20202022 and 2021.2023. Core Portfolio income from property operations, excluding deferrals and property management, is useful to investors for annual comparison as it removes the fluctuations associated with acquisitions, dispositions and significant transactions or unique situations. Our Non-Core Portfolio includes all Properties that were not owned and operated during all of 20202022 and 2021. This includes, but is not limited to, eight properties and one marina acquired during 2020 and2023, including six properties in Florida impacted by Hurricane Ian and eleven marinas acquired during 2021.two properties in California that were impacted by storm and flooding events.
Funds from Operations (FFO) and Normalized Funds from Operations (Normalized FFO)
We define FFO as net income, computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains or losses from sales of properties, depreciation and amortization related to real estate, impairment charges and adjustments to reflect our share of FFO of unconsolidated joint ventures. Adjustments for unconsolidated joint ventures are calculated to reflect FFO on the same basis. We compute FFO in accordance with our interpretation of standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”), which may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs that do not define the term in accordance with the current NAREIT definition or that interpret the current NAREIT definition differently than we do.
We receive non-refundable upfront payments from membership upgrade contracts. In accordance with GAAP,believe FFO, as defined by the non-refundable upfront paymentsBoard of Governors of NAREIT, is generally a measure of performance for an equity REIT. While FFO is a relevant and related commissions are deferred and amortized over the estimated membership upgrade contract term. Although the NAREIT definitionwidely used measure of FFOoperating performance for equity REITs, it does not address the treatment of non-refundable upfront payments, we believe thatrepresent cash flow from operations or net income as defined by GAAP, and it is appropriateshould not be considered as an alternative to adjust for the impact of the deferral activitythese indicators in our calculation of FFO.evaluating liquidity or operating performance.
We define Normalized FFO as FFO excluding non-operating income and expense items, such as gains and losses from early debt extinguishment, including prepayment penalties, and defeasance costs, transaction/pursuit costs, and other miscellaneous non-comparable items. Normalized FFO presented herein is not necessarily comparable to Normalized FFO presented by other real estate companies due to the fact that not all real estate companies use the same methodology for computing this amount.
48

Management's Discussion and Analysis (continued)
We believe that FFO and Normalized FFO are helpful to investors as supplemental measures of the performance of an equity REIT. We believe that by excluding the effect of gains or losses from sales of properties, depreciation and amortization related to real estate and impairment charges, which are based on historical costs and which may be of limited relevance in evaluating current performance, FFO can facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods and among other equity REITs. We further believe that Normalized FFO provides useful information to investors, analysts and our management because it allows them to compare our operating performance to the operating performance of other real estate companies and between periods on a consistent basis without having to account for differences not related to our normal operations. For example, we believe that excluding the early extinguishment of debt and other miscellaneous non-comparable items from FFO allows investors, analysts and our management to assess the sustainability of operating performance in future periods because these costs do not affect the future operations of the properties. In some cases, we provide information about identified non-cash components of FFO and Normalized FFO because it allows investors, analysts and our management to assess the impact of those items.
Income from Rental Operations, Net of Depreciation
We use income from rental operations, net of depreciation as an alternative measure to evaluate the operating results of our home rental program. Income from rental operations, net of depreciation represents income from rental operations less depreciation expense on rental homes. We believe this measure is meaningful for investors as it provides a complete picture of the home rental program operating results including the impact of depreciation which affects our home rental program investment decisions.
Our definitions and calculations of these Non-GAAP financial and operating measures and other terms may differ from the definitions and methodologies used by other REITs and accordingly, may not be comparable. These Non-GAAP financial and operating measures do not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP, nor do they represent cash available to pay distributions and should not be considered as an alternative to net income, determined in accordance with GAAP, as an indication of our financial performance, or to cash flows from operating activities, determined in accordance with GAAP, as a measure of our liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to make cash distributions.

Subsequent Events
Acquisitions
On February 15, 2022, we completed the acquisition of two RV communities located in Gunnison, Colorado and Winterhaven, California collectively containing 632 sites for a purchase price of $15.2 million.
Unsecured Financing
On January 21, 2022, we entered into a term loan agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as the administrative agent, pursuant to which we have entered into a $200.0 million senior unsecured term loan. The maturity date is January 21, 2027. The term loan bears interest at a rate of Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”), plus approximately 1.30% to 1.80%, depending on leverage levels.
ATMIncome tax benefit
During January 2022,the year ended December 31, 2023, we sold approximately 0.3released the full valuation allowance of $10.5 million shares ofrelated to our common stock under our ATM equity offering program with a weighted average price of $86.46 per share for net proceeds of $28.0 million. On February 14, 2022, our Board of Directors approved a new ATM equity offering program with an aggregate offering price of up to $500.0 million.
Dividend
On January 21, 2022, our Board of Directors approved setting the annual dividend rate for 2022 at $1.64 per share of common stock, an increase of $0.19 over the current $1.45 per share of common stock for 2021. Our Board of Directors, in its sole discretion, will determine the amount of each quarterly dividend in advance of payment.taxable REIT subsidiaries deferred tax assets.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity
Our primary demands for liquidity include payment of operating expenses, dividend distributions, debt service, including principal and interest, capital improvements on Properties, home purchases and property acquisitions. We expect similar demand for liquidity will continue for the short-term and long-term. Our primary sources of cash include operating cash flows, proceeds from financings, borrowings under our unsecured Line of Credit (“LOC”) and proceeds from issuance of equity and debt securities.
One of our stated objectives is to maintain financial flexibility. Achieving this objective allows us to take advantage of strategic opportunities that may arise. When investing capital, we consider all potential uses, including returning capital to our stockholders or the conditions under which we may repurchase our stock. These conditions include, but are not limited to, market price, balance sheet flexibility, alternative opportunistic capital uses and capital requirements. We believe effective management of our balance sheet, including maintaining various access points to raise capital, managing future debt maturities and borrowing at competitive rates, enables us to meet this objective. Accessing long-term low-cost secured debt continues to be our focus.
Total secured debt encumbered a total of 117120 and 116114 of our Properties as of December 31, 20212023 and December 31, 2020,2022, respectively, and the gross carrying value of such Properties was approximately $2,817.5$3,194.1 million and $2,580.9$2,868.3 million, as of December 31, 20212023 and December 31, 2020,2022, respectively.
As of December 31, 2021, we have available liquidity in the form of approximately 414.4 million shares of authorized and unissued common stock, par value $0.01 per share and 10.0 million shares of authorized and unissued preferred stock registered for sale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
Our ATM equity offering program allows us to sell, from time-to-time, shares of our common stock, par value $0.01 per share, having an aggregate offering price of up to $200.0 million. During the year ended December 31, 2021, we sold 1,660,290 shares of our common stock under our ATM equity program for gross cash proceeds of approximately $140.3 million at a weighted average share price of $84.48. As of December 31, 2021, there was $59.7 million of common stock available for issuance under our ATM equity program. On February 14, 2022, our Board of Directors approved a new ATM equity offering program with an aggregate offering price of up to $500.0 million.
During the year ended December 31, 2021, we closed on an amended revolving line of credit with borrowing capacity of $500.0 million and a $300.0 million term loan (“Term Loan”). The variable interest rate on the Term Loan is LIBOR plus 1.40%. Pursuant to the Swap (as defined below), we have fixed the interest rate at 1.8% per annum. See Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data—Note 9. Borrowing Arrangements for further details.

Management's Discussion and Analysis (continued)
We also utilize interest rate swaps to add stability to our interest expense and to manage our exposure to interest rate movements. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty in exchange for making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount. The changes in the fair value of the designated derivative are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and subsequently reclassified into earnings on the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings.
During the year ended December 31, 2021, we entered into a three-year LIBOR Swap Agreement (the “ Swap”) allowing us to trade the variable interest rate associated with our variable rate debt for a fixed interest rate. The Swap has a notional amount of $300.0 million of outstanding principal and fixes the underlying LIBOR rate at 0.39% per annum and matures on March 25, 2024. For additional information regarding our interest rate swap, see Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data—Note 10. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.
We expect to meet our short-term liquidity requirements, including principal payments, capital improvements and dividend distributions for the next twelve months, generally through available cash, net cash provided by operating activities and our LOC. As of December 31, 2021,2023, our LOC had a remaining borrowing capacity of $151.0$469.0 million with the option to increase the borrowing capacity by $200.0 million, subject to certain conditions. The LOC bears interest at a rate of LIBORSecured Overnight Financing Rate plus 1.25% to 1.65%, requires an annual facility fee of 0.20% to 0.35% and matures on April 18, 2025.
We continue to monitor the development and adoption of an alternative index to LIBOR to manage the transition. Given the majority of our current debt is secured and not subject to LIBOR, we do not believe the discontinuation of LIBOR will have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.
We expect to meet certain long-term liquidity requirements, such as scheduled debt maturities, property acquisitions and capital improvements, using long-term collateralized and uncollateralized borrowings including the existing LOC and the issuance of debt securities orsecurities.
For information regarding our debt activities and related borrowing arrangements, see Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data—Note 9. Borrowing Arrangements.
By the issuanceend of equity including under our ATMFebruary 2024, we anticipate entering into a new at-the-market (“ATM”) equity offering program.

Management's Discussion and Analysis (continued)
Westwinds
The Operating Partnership operates and manages Westwinds, a 720 site mobilehome community, and Nicholson Plaza, an adjacent shopping center, both located in San Jose, California pursuant to ground leases that expire on August 31, 2022 and do not contain extension options. Westwinds provides affordable, rent-controlled homes to numerous residents, including families with children and residents over 65 years of age. For the year ended December 31, 2021, Westwinds and Nicholson Plaza generated approximately $6.0 million of net operating income.
The master lessor of these ground leases, The Nicholson Family Partnership (together with its predecessor in interest, the “Nicholsons”), has expressed a desire to redevelop Westwinds, and in a written communication, they claimed that we were obligated to deliver the property free and clear of any and all subtenancies upon the expiration of the ground leases on August 31, 2022. In connection with any redevelopment, the City of San Jose’s conversion ordinance requires, among other things, that the landowner provide relocation, rental and purchase assistance to the impacted residents. We believe the Nicholsons are unlawfully attempting to impose those obligations upon the Operating Partnership.
Westwinds opened in the 1970s and was developed by the original ground lessee with assistance from the Nicholsons. In 1997, the Operating Partnership acquired the leasehold interest in the ground leases. In addition to rent based on the operations of Westwinds, the Nicholsons receive a percentage of gross revenues from the sale of new or used mobile homes in Westwinds.
The Operating Partnership has entered into subtenancy agreements with the mobilehome residents of Westwinds. Because the ground leases with the Nicholsons have an expiration date of August 31, 2022, and no further right of extension, the Operating Partnership has not entered into any subtenancy agreements that extend beyond August 31, 2022. However, the mobilehome residents’ occupancy rights continue by operation of California state and San Jose municipal law beyond the expiration date of the ground leases. Notwithstanding this, the Nicholsons have made what we believe to be an unlawful demand that the Operating Partnership deliver the property free and clear of any subtenancies upon the expiration of the ground leases by August 31, 2022. We believe the Nicholsons’ demand (i) violates California state and San Jose municipal law because the Nicholsons are demanding that the Operating Partnership remove all residents without just cause and (ii) conflicts with the terms and conditions of the ground leases, which contain no express or implied requirement that the Operating Partnership deliver the property free and clear of all subtenancies at the mobile home park and require, instead, that the Operating Partnership continuously operate the mobilehome park during the lease term.
On December 30, 2019, the Operating Partnership, together with certain interested parties, filed a complaint in California Superior Court for Santa Clara County, seeking declaratory relief pursuant to which it requested that the Court determine, among other things, that the Operating Partnership has no obligation to deliver the property free and clear of the mobilehome residents upon the expiration of the ground leases. The Operating Partnership and the interested parties filed an amended complaint on January 29, 2020.
The Nicholsons filed a demand for arbitration on January 28, 2020, which they subsequently amended, pursuant to which they request (i) a declaration that the Operating Partnership, as the “owner and manager” of Westwinds, is “required by the Ground Leases, and State and local law to deliver the Property free of any encumbrances or third-party claims at the expiration of the lease terms,” (ii) that the Operating Partnership anticipatorily breached the ground leases by publicly repudiating any such obligation and (iii) that the Operating Partnership is required to indemnify the Nicholsons with respect to the claims brought by the interested parties in the Superior Court proceeding.
On February 3, 2020, the Nicholsons filed a motion in California Superior Court to compel arbitration and to stay the Superior Court litigation, which motion was heard on June 25, 2020. On July 29, 2020, the Superior Court issued a final order denying the Nicholsons' motion to compel arbitration. The Nicholsons filed a notice of appeal on August 7, 2020, which appeal was heard on February 1, 2022. On February 4, 2022, the California Court of Appeal affirmed the Superior Court’s order denying the Nicholsons' motion to compel arbitration. The arbitration is stayed pursuant to an agreement between MHC and the Nicholsons.
Following the filing of our lawsuit, the City of San Jose took steps to accelerate the passage of a general plan amendment previously under review by the City to change the designation for Westwinds from its current general plan designation of Urban Residential (which would allow for higher density redevelopment), to a newly created designation of Mobile Home Park. The Nicholsons expressed opposition to this change in designation. However, on March 10, 2020, following significant pressure from residents and advocacy groups, the City Council approved this new designation for all 58 mobilehome communities in the City of San Jose, including Westwinds. In addition to requirements imposed by California state and San Jose municipal law, the change in designation requires, among other things, a further amendment to the general plan to a different land use designation by the City Council prior to any change in use.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP, which requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and the related disclosures. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
For additional information regarding our significant accounting policies, see Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data—Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
We review our Properties for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the Property may not be recoverable. The economic performance and value of our real estate investments could be adversely impacted by many factors including factors outside of our control. We consider impairment indicators including, but not limited to, the following:
national, regional and/or local economic conditions;
competition from MH and RV communities and other housing options;
changes in laws and governmental regulations and the related costs of compliance;
changes in market rental rates or occupancy; and
physical damage or environmental indicators.
Any adverse changes in these factors could cause an impairment in our assets, including our investment in real estate and development projects in progress.
If an impairment indicator exists related to a long-lived asset, the expected future undiscounted cash flows are compared against the carrying amount of that asset. Forecasting cash flows requires us to make estimates and assumptions on various inputs including, but not limited to, rental revenue and expense growth rates, occupancy, levels of capital expenditure and capitalization rates. If the sum of the estimated undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recorded for the carrying amount in excess of the estimated fair value.

Management's Discussion and Analysis (continued)
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably likely to have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity or capital resources.
Inflation
Substantially all of the leases at our MH communities allow for monthly or annual rent increases which provide us with the ability to increase rent, where justified by the market. Such types of leases generally minimize our risks of inflation. In addition, rental rates for our annual RV and marina Sites are established on an annual basis. Our membership subscriptions generally provide for an annual dues increase, but dues may be frozen under the terms of certain contracts if the customer is over 61 years old. Currently, approximately 20.0% of our dues are frozen.
Some of our costs, including operating and administrative expenses, interest expense and construction costs are subject to inflation. These expenses include but are not limited to property-related contracted services, utilities, repairs and maintenance and insurance and general and administrative costs, including compensation costs.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Our primary market risk exposure is interest rate changes at the time we need to obtain new or refinance existing long-term debt that is used to maintain liquidity and fund our operations. Our interest rate risk management objectives are to limit the impact of increasing interest rates on earnings and cash flows. To achieve our objectives, we borrow primarily at fixed rates and in some cases variable rates. With regard to variable rate financing, we assess interest rate cash flow risk by identifying and monitoring changes in interest rate exposure that may adversely impact future cash flows and by evaluating hedging opportunities.
58


The fair value of our long-term debt obligations is affected by changes in market interest rates, however our scheduled maturities are well laddered from 20222025 to 2041, which minimizes the market risk until the debt matures. As of December 31, 2021,2023, we had $73.8 million ofno secured debt maturing in 2022.2024. In addition, 22.0%18.3% of our outstanding debt is fully amortizing, further reducing the risk related to increased interest rates.
For each increase in interest rates of 1.0% (or 100 basis points), the fair value of the total outstanding debt would decrease by approximately $319.7$302.1 million. For each decrease in interest rates of 1.0% (or 100 basis points), the fair value of the total outstanding debt would increase by approximately $354.7$330.7 million. Our secured debt has fixed interest rates so interest expense and cash flows would not be affected by fluctuations in interest rates. The variable rate on our unsecured $200.0 million term loan is fixed through the utilization of an interest rate swap through maturity of the term loan, so interest expense and cash flows would not be affected by fluctuations in interest rates. The variable rate on our unsecured $300.0 million term loan is fixed through the utilization of an interest rate swap, which matures March 25, 2024. After the maturity of the interest rate swap, our unsecured $300.0 million term loan will bear interest at SOFR plus 1.40% to 1.95% per annum. Our line of credit bears interest at a rate of LIBORSOFR plus 1.25% to 1.65%.

Item 9. Changes In and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure
None.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer) and Chief Financial Officer (principal financial officer), maintains a system of disclosure controls and procedures, designed to provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in the reports that we file under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that we will detect or uncover failures to disclose material information otherwise required to be set forth in our periodic reports.
Our management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2021.2023. Based on that evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this annual report, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to give reasonable assurances to the timely collection, evaluation and our disclosure of information that would potentially be subject to disclosure under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder as of December 31, 2021.2023.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
ThereOther than the item noted below, there were no material changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the year ended December 31, 2021.2023.
Report of Management on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Based on management's assessment, we maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021.2023. In making this assessment, management used the criteria established by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in “Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013 framework).
The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021,2023, has been audited by our independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in its report on Pagepage F-4.
Remediation of Material Weakness
As previously reported in our 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K/A, management identified a material weakness related to the evaluation of the classification of cash flows pursuant to the predominance principle in ASC 230 associated with the purchase and sale of manufactured homes within the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. During the quarter ended June 30, 2023, we enhanced our control activities related to the evaluation of the classification of cash flows pursuant to the predominance principle in ASC 230 associated with the purchase and sale of manufactured homes within the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. We tested the enhanced control activities as of June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2023 and

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Stockholders and Board of Directors and Stockholders of Equity LifeStyle Properties, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Equity LifeStyle Properties, Inc. (the Company) as of December 31, 20212023 and 2020,2022, the related consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 20212023, and the related notes and financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 15 (collectively referred to as the consolidated financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 20212023 and 2020,2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2021,2023, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021,2023, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework) and our report dated February 22, 202221, 2024 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Valuation
Impairmentof Investment in Real EstateLong-Lived Assets
Description of the MatterAt December 31, 2021,2023, the Company’s consolidated net consolidated investment in real estate totaled $4.9$5.3 billion. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s investment in real estate is reviewed for impairment quarterly or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate a possible impairment. If an impairment indicator exists related to an investment in real estate that is held and used, the expected future undiscounted cash flows are compared against the carrying amount of that asset. If the sum of the estimated undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recorded for the excess, if any, of the carrying amount of the asset over its estimated fair value.

Auditing the Company’s evaluation of investment in real estate for impairment of long-lived assets was complex and highly subjective. The determination of the undiscounted cash flows for properties where impairment indicators have been identified areis sensitive to significant assumptions such as rental revenue and expense growth rates,forecasted net operating income, and capitalization rates used to estimate the property’s residual value, allboth of which can be affected by expectations about future market conditions, customer demand, and competition, as well as the Company’s intent to hold and operate the property over the term assumed in the analysis.competition.
How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit
We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design, and tested the operating effectiveness of controls related to the Company’s process for evaluating investment in real estate for impairment of long-lived assets, including controls over management’s review of the significant assumptions described above.


To test the Company’s process for evaluating investment in real estate for impairment of long-lived assets, we performed audit procedures that included, among others, assessing the methodologies,methodology used, evaluating the significant assumptions discussed above and testing the completeness and accuracy of the underlying data used by the Company in its analysis.analyses. We compared the significant assumptions used by the Company to historical operational data of the particular property,results, current market rates,data, and real estate industry publications, current industry trends and other relevant sources. We also compared the projected net operating income to historical actual results.publications. As part of our evaluation,procedures, we assessedalso evaluated significant variances between the forecasted cash flows and historical accuracy of the Company’s estimatesactual results and performed sensitivity analyses of certainsignificant assumptions to evaluate the
changes in the undiscounted cash flows of certain properties that would result from changes in the assumptions used by management.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Stockholders and Board of Directors and Stockholders of Equity LifeStyle Properties, Inc.

Opinion on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
We have audited Equity LifeStyle Properties, Inc.’s (the Company) internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021,2023, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework) (the COSO criteria). In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021,2023, based on the COSO criteria.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheets of the Company as of December 31, 20212023 and 2020,2022, the related consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income, changes in equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 20212023, and the related notes and financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 15 and our report dated February 22, 202221, 2024 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Basis for Opinion
The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Report of Management on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.

Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the companycompany; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Equity LifeStyle Properties, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1—Organization
Equity LifeStyle Properties, Inc. (“ELS”), a Maryland corporation, together with MHC Operating Limited Partnership (the “Operating Partnership”) and its other consolidated subsidiaries (the “Subsidiaries”), are referred to herein as “we,” “us,” and “our.” We are a fully integrated owner of lifestyle-oriented properties (“Properties”) consisting of property operations and home sales and rental operations primarily within manufactured home (“MH”) and recreational vehicle (“RV”) communities and marinas. We provide our customers the opportunity to place manufactured homes and cottages, RVs and/or boats on our Properties either on a long-term or short-term basis. Our customers may lease individual developed areas (“Sites”) or enter into right-to-use contracts, also known as membership subscriptions, which provide them access to specific Properties for limited stays.
Commencing with our taxable year ended December 31, 1993, we have elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes. We believe we have qualified for taxation as a REIT. To maintain our qualification as a REIT, we must meet certain requirements, which are highly technical and complex. If we fail to qualify as a REIT, we could be subject to U.S. federal income tax at regular corporate rates. Additionally, we could remain disqualified as a REIT for four years following the year we first failed to qualify. Even as a REIT, we are subject to certain foreign, state and local taxes on our income and property and U.S. federal income and excise taxes on our undistributed income.
Our Properties are owned primarily by the Operating Partnership and managed internally by affiliates of the Operating Partnership. We are the general partner of the Operating Partnership and own 95.2%95.3% as of December 31, 2021.2023. We contributed the proceeds from our various equity offerings, including our initial public offering, to the Operating Partnership. In exchange for these contributions, we received units of common interests in the partnership (“OP Units”) equal to the number of shares of common stock issued in such equity offerings. The limited partners of the Operating Partnership (the “Common OP Unitholders”) receive an allocation of net income that is based on their respective ownership percentage in the Operating Partnership that is presented on the consolidated financial statements as Non-controlling interests—Common OP Units. As of December 31, 2021,2023, the Non-controlling interests—Common OP Units were 9,305,651,9,104,654, which are exchangeable for an equivalent number of shares of our common stock or, at our option, cash. The issuance of additional shares of common stock or OP Units would change the respective ownership of the Operating Partnership for the Common OP Unitholders.
WeSince we have elected to be taxed as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Sincepurposes, certain activities, if performed by us, may not be qualifying REIT activities under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”),. Accordingly, we have formed taxable REIT subsidiaries (each, a “TRS”). Our primary TRS is Realty Systems, Inc. (“RSI”) which, along with owning several properties, is engaged in the business of purchasing, selling and leasing factory-built homes located in Properties owned and managed by us. RSI also offers home sale brokerage services to our residents who may choose to sell their homes rather than relocate them when moving from a Property.

Note 2—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
(a)Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements present the results of operations, financial position and cash flows of ELS, its majority-owned and controlled subsidiaries and variable interest entities (“VIEs”) in which ELS is the primary beneficiary. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
The Operating Partnership meets the criteria as a VIE, where we are the general partner and controlling owner of approximately 95.2%95.3%. The limited partners do not have substantive kick-out or participating rights. Our sole significant asset is our investment in the Operating Partnership, and consequently, substantially all of our assets and liabilities represent those assets and liabilities of the Operating Partnership. Additionally, we have the power to direct the Operating Partnership's activities and the obligation to absorb its losses or the right to receive its benefits. Accordingly, we are the primary beneficiary, and we have continued to consolidate the Operating Partnership.
Equity method of accounting is applied to entities in which ELS does not have a controlling interest or for VIEs in which ELS is not considered the primary beneficiary, but with respect to which it can exercise significant influence over the operations and major decisions. Our exposure to losses associated with unconsolidated joint ventures is primarily limited to the carrying value of these investments. Accordingly, distributions from a joint venture in excess of our carrying value are recognized in earnings.
On October 15, 2019, we effected a 2-for-one-stock split of our common stock. Pursuant to the anti-dilution provision in the Operating Partnership's Agreement of Limited Partnership, the stock split also effected a 2-for-one unit split of the outstanding OP Units. All shares of common stock and OP Units and per share data in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying footnotes, for all periods presented, have been adjusted to reflect the stock split.
(b)Use of Estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP)("GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. All property and site counts and acreage amounts are unaudited.
(c)     Investment in Real Estate
Investment in real estate is recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Direct and indirect costs related to real estate improvement projects are capitalized, including salaries and related benefits of employees who are directly responsible for and spend their time on the execution and supervision of such projects. Land improvements consist primarily of improvements such as grading, landscaping and infrastructure items, such as streets, sidewalks or water mains. Improvements to buildings and other depreciable property include clubhouses, laundry facilities, maintenance storage facilities, rental units and furniture, fixtures and equipment.
For development and expansion projects, we capitalize direct project costs, such as construction, architectural and legal, as well as, indirect project costs such as interest, real estate taxes and salaries and related benefits of employees who are directly involved in the project. Capitalization of these costs begins when the activities and related expenditures commence and cease when the project, or a portion of the project, is substantially complete and ready for its intended use.
Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis based on the estimated useful lives of the associated real estate assets.

Long-lived assets to be held and used, including our investment in real estate, are evaluated for impairment indicators quarterly or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate a possible impairment. Our judgments regarding the existence of impairment indicators are based on factors such as operational performance, market conditions, environmental and

legal factors. Future events could occur which would cause us to conclude that impairment indicators exist and an impairment loss is warranted.
If an impairment indicator exists related to a long-lived asset that is held and used, the expected future undiscounted cash flows are compared against the carrying amount of that asset. Forecasting cash flows requires us to make estimates and assumptions on various inputs including, but not limited to, rental revenue and expense growth rates, occupancy, levels of capital expenditure and capitalization rates. If the sum of the estimated undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recorded for the carrying amount in excess of the estimated fair value, if any, of the asset. For
During the periods presented, no impairment losses were recorded.year ended December 31, 2023, we recorded a $3.6 million reduction to the carrying value of certain assets, as a result of property damage caused by weather events in 2023.
(d)    Acquisitions
On January 1, 2018, we adopted (“ASU 2017-01”) Business Combinations: ClarifyingWe account for acquisitions of investments in real estate by assessing each acquisition to determine if it meets the Definitiondefinition of a Business (Topic 805) on a prospective basis.business or if it qualifies as an asset acquisition. We apply a screen test to evaluate if substantially all the fair value of the acquired property is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets to determine whether a transaction is accounted for as an asset acquisition or business combination. As most of our real estate acquisitions are concentrated in either a single asset or a group of similar identifiable assets, our real estate transactions are generally accounted for as asset acquisitions, which permits the capitalization of transaction costs to the basis of the acquired property.
In estimating the fair values for purposes of allocating the purchase price, we utilize a number of sources, including independent appraisals or internal valuations that may be available in connection with the acquisition or financing of the respective Property and other market data. We also consider information obtained about each Property as a result of our due diligence, marketing and leasing activities in estimating the fair value of the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed.
The following methods and assumptions are used to estimate the fair value of each class of asset acquired and liability assumed:
Land – Market approach based on similar, but not identical, transactions in the market. Adjustments to comparable sales based on both quantitative and qualitative data.
Depreciable property – Cost approach based on market comparable data to replace adjusted for local variations, inflation and other factors.
Manufactured homes – Sales comparison approach based on market prices for similar homes adjusted for differences in age or size.
In-place leases – In-place leases are determined viathrough a combination of estimates of market rental rates and expense reimbursement levels as well as an estimate of the length of time required to replace each lease.
Above-market assets/below-market liabilities – Income approach based on discounted cash flows comparing contractual cash flows to be paid pursuant to the leases and our estimate of fair market lease rates over the remaining non-cancelable lease terms. For below-market leases, we also consider remaining initial lease terms plus any renewal periods.
Notes receivable – Income approach based on discounted cash flows comparing contractual cash flows at a market rate adjusted based on particular notes' or note holders' down payment, credit score and delinquency status.
Mortgage notes payable – Income approach based on discounted cash flows comparing contractual cash flows to cash flows of similar debt discounted based on market rates.
(e)    Intangibles and Goodwill
We record acquired intangible assets at their estimated fair value separate and apart from goodwill. We amortize identified intangible assets and liabilities that are determined to have finite lives over the period the assets and liabilities are expected to contribute directly or indirectly to the future cash flows of the Property or business acquired. Intangible assets subject to amortization are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying
F-13


Equity LifeStyle Properties, Inc.

Note 2—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
amounts may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of an intangible asset is not recoverable and its carrying amount exceeds its estimated fair value.
The excess of the cost of an acquired entity over the net of the amounts assigned to assets acquired (including identified intangible assets) and liabilities assumed in a business combination is recorded as goodwill. Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment at a level of reporting referred to as a reporting unit on an annual basis, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired.
As of December 31, 20212023 and 2020,2022, the gross carrying amount of identified intangible assets and goodwill was $55.4$55.6 million, and $12.5 million, respectively, which is reported as a component of other assets, net on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of both December 31, 20212023 and 2020,2022, this amount was comprised of $38.0 million and $4.7 million, respectively of identified intangible assets and $17.4$17.6 million of goodwill. Accumulated amortization of identified intangibles assets was $3.3$12.2 million and $3.2$7.7 million as of December 31, 20212023 and 2020,2022, respectively. The estimated annual aggregated amortization expense to be recognized over each of the next five years is $3.2$3.6 million. The weighted average remaining useful life is approximately 15seven years.
(f)    Assets Held for Sale
In determining whether to classify a real estate asset held for sale, we consider whether: (i) management has committed to a plan to sell the asset; (ii) the asset is available for immediate sale in its present condition, subject only to terms that are usual and customary; (iii) we have initiated a program to locate a buyer; (iv) we believe that the sale of the real estate asset is probable within one year; (v) we are actively marketing the investment property for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current value and (vi) actions required for us to complete the plan indicate that it is unlikely that any significant changes will be made. If all of the above criteria are met, we classify the real estate asset as held for sale. When all of the above criteria are met, we discontinue depreciation or amortization of the asset, measure it at the lower of its carrying amount or its fair value less estimated cost to sell and present it separately as assetsan asset held for sale, net on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. We also present the liabilities related to assets held for sale, if any, separately on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. In connection with the held for sale evaluation, if the disposal represents a strategic shift that has, or will have, a major effect on the consolidationour consolidated financial statement,statements, then the transaction is presented as discontinued operations.
(g)    Restricted Cash
As of December 31, 20212023 and 2020,2022, restricted cash consistsconsisted of $29.3$25.7 million and $24.1$19.7 million, respectively, primarily related to cash reserved for customer deposits and escrows for insurance and real estate taxes.
(h)    Fair Value of Financial Instruments
We disclose the estimated fair value of our financial instruments according to a fair value hierarchy. The valuation hierarchy is based on the transparency of the lowest level of input that is significant to the valuation of an asset or a liability as of the measurement date. The three levels are defined as follows:
Level 1 - Inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2 - Inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
Level 3 - Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.
The carrying values of cash and restricted cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate their fair market values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The carrying value of the notes receivable approximates the fair market value as the interest rates are generally comparable to current market rates. Concentrations of credit risk with respect to notes receivable are limited due to the size of the receivable and geographic diversity of the underlying Properties.
The fair market value of mortgage notes payable, the term loan and interest rate derivative are measured with Level 2 inputs using quoted prices and observable inputs from similar liabilities as disclosed in Note 9. Borrowing Arrangements and Note 10,10. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.

Note 2—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
We also utilize Level 2 and Level 3 inputs as part of our determination of the purchase price allocation for our acquisitions as disclosed in Note 6. Acquisitions.Investment in Real Estate.
(i)    Deferred Financing Costs, Net
Deferred financing costs are being amortized over the terms of the respective loans on a straight-line basis. Unamortized deferred financing costs are written-off when debt is retired before the maturity date. Deferred financing costs, net were $28.9$29.5 million and $27.9$28.1 million as of December 31, 20212023 and 2020,2022, respectively.

(k)    Revenue Recognition
Our revenue streams are predominantly derived from customers renting our Sites or entering into membership subscriptions. Our MH Sites and annual RV and marina Sites are leased on an annual basis. Seasonal RV and marina Sites are leased to customers generally for one to six months. Transient RV and marina Sites are leased to customers on a short-term basis. Leases with our customers are accounted for as operating leases. Rental income is accounted for in accordance with the Accounting Standard Codification (ASC) 842, Leases, and is recognized over the term of the respective lease or the length of a customer's stay. We do not separate expenses reimbursed by our customers (“utility recoveries”) from the associated rental revenue as we meet the practical expedient criteria to combine these lease and non-lease components. We assessed the criteria and concluded that the timing and pattern of transfer for rental revenue and the associated utility recoveries are the same and asbecause our leases qualify as operating leases, we account for and present rental revenue and utility recoveries as a single component under Rental income in our Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income.
Sales from membership subscriptions, upgrades and home sales are accounted for in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. A membership subscription gives the customer the right to a set schedule of usage at a specified group of Properties. Payments are deferred and recognized on a straight-line basis over the one-year period in which access to Sites at certain Properties are provided. Membership upgrades grant certain additional access rights to the customer and require non-refundable upfront payments. The non-refundable upfront payments are recognized on a straight-line basis over 20 years, which is our estimated membership upgrade contract term. Income from home sales is recognized when the earnings process is complete. The earnings process is complete when the home has been delivered, the purchaser has accepted the home and title has transferred. Sales from membership subscriptions, upgrades and home sales are accounted for in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers.
(l)    Stock Based Compensation
Stock-based compensation expense for restricted stock awards with service conditions is measured based on the grant date fair value and recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the individual grants.
Stock-based compensation expense for restricted stock awards with performance conditions is measured based on the grant date fair value and recognized on a straight-line basis over the performance period of the individual grants, when achieving the performance targets is considered probable. We estimate and revisit the probability of achieving the performance targets periodically by updating our forecasts throughout the performance period as necessary.
F-15


Equity LifeStyle Properties, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 2—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
We also issue stock options by estimating the grant date fair value using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and recognizing over the vesting period for options that are expected to vest. We estimate forfeitures at the time of grant based on historical experience, updated for changes in facts and circumstances, as appropriate, and in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. The expected volatility assumption is calculated based on our historical volatility, which is calculated over a period of time commensurate with the expected term of the options being valued. The risk-free interest rate assumption is based upon the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The dividend yield assumption is based on our expectation of dividend payouts.
(m) Insurance Recoveries

We carry comprehensive insurance coverage for losses resulting from property damage and environmental liability and business interruption claims on all of our properties. We record the estimated amount of expected insurance proceeds for property damage, clean-up costs and other losses incurred as an asset (typically a receivable from our insurance carriers) and income up to the amount of the losses incurred when receipt of insurance proceeds is deemed probable. Any amount of insurance recovery in excess of the losses incurred and any amount of insurance recovery related to business interruption are considered a gain contingency and are recognized in the period in which the insurance proceeds are received.

During the years ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we recognized expenses of approximately $13.4 million and $40.6 million related to debris removal and cleanup related to Hurricane Ian and an offsetting insurance recovery revenue accrual of $13.4 million and $40.6 million, respectively, related to the expected insurance recovery as a result of Hurricane Ian, which is included in Casualty related charges/recoveries, net in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income.
During the years ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we received insurance proceeds of approximately $68.3 million and zero, respectively, of which $10.6 million and zero was identified as business interruption recovery revenue, respectively.
(n)    Non-Controlling Interests
The OP Units are exchangeable for shares of common stock on a 1-for-oneone-for-one basis at the option of the Common OP Unitholders, which we may, in our discretion, cause the Operating Partnership to settle in cash. The exchange is treated as a capital transaction, which results in an allocation between stockholders' equity and non-controlling interests to account for the change in the respective percentage ownership of the underlying equity of the Operating Partnership.
Net income is allocated to Common OP Unitholders based on their respective ownership percentage of the Operating Partnership. Such ownership percentage is calculated by dividing the number of OP Units held by the Common OP Unitholders by the total OP Units held by the Common OP Unitholders and the shares of common stock held by the common stockholders. Issuance of additional shares of common stock or OP Units would change the percentage ownership of both the Non-controlling interests – Common OP Units and the common stockholders.
(n)(o)    Income Taxes
Due to our structure as a REIT, the results of operations contain no provision for U.S. federal income taxes for the REIT. As of December 31, 20212023 and 2020,2022, the REIT had a federal net operating loss carryforward of approximately $50.9$48.6 million and $74.1$51.7 million, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2021, theThe Company utilized approximately $23.2$3.1 million and zero of the net operating loss carryforward to offset its tax and distribution requirements.requirements for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The REIT is entitled to utilize the net operating loss carryforward only to the extent that the REIT taxable income exceeds our deduction for dividends paid. Due to the uncertainty regarding the use of the REIT net operating loss carryforward, no net tax asset for the REIT has been recorded as of December 31, 20212023 and 2020.2022.

OnIn August 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update 2023-05, Business Combinations — Joint Venture Formations (Subtopic 805-60): Recognition and Initial Measurement (“ASU 2023-05”). ASU 2023-05 addresses the accounting for contributions made to a joint venture, upon formation, in a joint venture’s separate financial statements. Prior to the amendment, the FASB did not provide specific authoritative guidance on the initial measurement of assets and liabilities assumed by a joint venture upon its formation. ASU 2023-05 requires a joint venture to recognize and initially measure its assets and liabilities at fair value (with exceptions to fair value measurement that are consistent with the business combinations guidance). ASU 2023-05 is effective for all joint venture formations with a formation date on or after January 1, 2020, we adopted FASB (“ASU 2016-13”) Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326) using the modified retrospective approach. ASU 2016-13 requires entities to measure all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Entities should use forward-looking information to better form their credit loss estimates.

The amendments in ASU 2023-07 do not change how a public entity identifies its operating segments, aggregates those operating segments, or applies the quantitative thresholds to determine its reportable segments. ASU 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2023-07 on our consolidated financial statements.
In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures ("ASU 2023-09"), which enhances the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. This update is effective for annual membership subscriptions and membership upgrades and home sales.periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance.

Note 3—Leases

Lessor
Rental income derived from customers renting our Sites is accounted for in accordance with ASC 842, Leases, and is recognized over the term of the respective operating lease or the length of a customer's stay. MH Sites are generally leased on an annual basis to residents who own or lease factory-built homes, including manufactured homes. Annual RV and marina Sites are leased on an annual basis to customers who generally have an RV, factory-built cottage, boat or other unit placed on the site, including those Northern properties that are open for the summer season. Seasonal RV and marina Sites are leased to customers generally for one to six months. Transient RV and marina Sites are leased to customers on a short-term basis. In addition, customers may lease homes that are located in our communities.
The leases entered into between the customer and us for a rental of a Site are renewable upon the consent of both parties or, in some instances, as provided by statute. Long-term leases that are non-cancelable by the tenants are in effect at certain Properties. Rental rate increases at these Properties are primarily a function of increases in the Consumer Price Index, taking into consideration certain conditions. Additionally, periodic market rate adjustments are made as deemed appropriate. In addition, certain state statutes allow entry into long-term agreements that effectively modify lease terms related to rent amounts and increases over the term of the agreements. The following table presents future minimum rents expected to be received under long-term non-cancelable tenant leases, as well as those leases that are subject to long-term agreements governing rent payments and increases:

Note 10—Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk
We record all derivatives at fair value. Our objective in utilizing interest rate derivatives is to add stability to our interest expense and to manage our exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, we primarily use interest rate swaps as part of our interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty in our exchange for making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount.

In addition, we match 100.0% of their contribution up to the first 3.0% and then 50.0% of the next 2.0% for a maximum potential match of 4.0%. Both employee's and our matching contributions vest immediately.

The Operating Partnership operates and manages Westwinds, a 720 site mobilehome community, and Nicholson Plaza, an adjacent shopping center, both located in San Jose, California pursuant to ground leases that expireBeginning on August 31, 20222023 through October 12, 2023, certain private party plaintiffs filed several putative class actions in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division, against Datacomp Appraisal Systems, Inc. (“Datacomp”) and do not contain extension options. The master lessorseveral owner/operators of these ground leases, The Nicholson Family Partnershipmanufactured housing communities, including ELS (the “Nicholsons”“Datacomp Litigation”), has expressed a desirealleging that the community owner/operators used JLT Market Reports produced by Datacomp to redevelop Westwinds, andconspire to raise manufactured home lot rents in a written communication, they claimed that we were obligated to deliver the property free and clearviolation of any and all subtenancies upon the expirationSection 1 of the ground leases on August 31, 2022. InSherman Act. ELS purchased Datacomp in connection with any redevelopment, the City of San Jose’s conversion ordinance requires, among other things, thatMHVillage/Datacomp acquisition during the landowner provide relocation, rentalyear ended December 31, 2021. On December 15, 2023, the plaintiffs filed an amended consolidated complaint captioned, In re Manufactured Home Lot Rents Antitrust Litigation, No. 1:23-cv-6715. Plaintiffs seek both injunctive relief and purchase assistancemonetary damages, including attorneys’ fees. The defendants filed a motion to the impacted residents.dismiss on January 29, 2024.
We believe the Nicholsons’ demand is unlawful, and on December 30, 2019, the Operating Partnership, together with certain interested parties, filed a complaint in California Superior Court for Santa Clara County, seeking declaratory relief pursuant to which it requested that the Court determine, among other things, that the Operating Partnership has no obligation to deliver the property freeDatacomp Litigation is without merit, and clear of the mobilehome residents upon the expiration of the ground leases. The Operating Partnership and the interested parties filed an amended complaint on January 29, 2020. The Nicholsons filed a demand for arbitration on January 28, 2020, which they subsequently amended, pursuant to which they request (i) a declaration that the Operating Partnership, as the “owner and manager” of Westwinds, is “required by the Ground Leases, and State and local law to deliver the Property free of any encumbrances or third-party claims at the expiration of the lease terms,” (ii) that the Operating Partnership anticipatorily breached the ground leases by publicly repudiating any such obligation and (iii) that the Operating Partnership is required to indemnify the Nicholsons with respect to the claims brought by the interested parties in the Superior Court proceeding.
On February 3, 2020, the Nicholsons filed a motion in California Superior Court to compel arbitration and to stay the Superior Court litigation, which motion was heard on June 25, 2020. On July 29, 2020, the Superior Court issued a final order denying the Nicholsons' motion to compel arbitration. The Nicholsons filed a notice of appeal on August 7, 2020. On February 4, 2022, the California Court of Appeal affirmed the Superior Court’s order denying the Nicholsons' motion to compel arbitration. The arbitration is stayed pursuant to an agreement between MHC and the Nicholsons. Wewe intend to continue to vigorously defend our interests in this matter. As of December 31, 2021,2023, we have not made an accrual, as we are unable to predict the outcome of this matter or reasonably estimate any possible loss.

Note 17—Reportable Segments
Operating segments are defined as components of an entity for which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”). The CODM evaluates and assesses performance on a monthly basis. Segment operating performance is measured on Net Operating Income (“NOI”). NOI is defined as total operating revenues less total operating expenses. Segments are assessed before interest income and depreciation and amortization.
We have identified 2two reportable segments: (i) Property Operations and (ii) Home Sales and Rentals Operations. The Property Operations segment owns and operates land lease Properties and the Home Sales and Rentals Operations segment purchases, sells and leases homes at the Properties. The distribution of the Properties throughout the United States reflects our belief that geographic diversification helps insulate the total portfolio from regional economic influences.
All revenues are from external customers and there is no customer who contributed 10% or more of our total revenues during the years ended December 31, 2021, 20202023, 2022 and 2019.2021.
The following tables summarize our segment financial information for the years ended December 31, 2021, 20202023, 2022 and 2019:2021:
