EQUITY LIFESTYLE PROPERTIES INC 10-Q/A

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes thereto included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, as amended on January 22, 2024 (“2022 Form 10-K/A”), as well as information in Part II. Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our 2022 Form 10-K/A. Certain items within this Management’s discussion and analysis have been updated as a result of the amendment, as described in further detail in the “Explanatory Note”. 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 June 30, 2023, we owned or had an ownership interest in a portfolio of 450 Properties located throughout the United States and Canada containing 171,706 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 seek growth in earnings, Funds from Operations (“FFO”), Normalized Funds from Operations (“Normalized 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. 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. After conducting a comprehensive study of RV ownership, according to the Recreational Vehicle Industry Association (“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 Generation 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. 21 Management's Discussion and Analysis (continued) The following table shows the breakdown of our Sites by type (amounts are approximate): Total Sites as of June 30, 2023 MH Sites 72,700 RV Sites: Annual 35,300 Seasonal 12,500 Transient 14,900 Marina Slips 6,900 Membership (1) 25,800 Joint Ventures (2) 3,600 Total 171,700 _________________________ (1) Primarily utilized to service approximately 126,900 members. Includes approximately 6,200 Sites rented on an annual basis. (2) Includes approximately 2,000 annual Sites and 1,600 transient Sites. 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. 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. 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 property management, and (v) Core Portfolio income from property operations, excluding property management (operating results for Properties owned and operated in both periods under comparison). 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. Results Overview For the quarter ended June 30, 2023, net income available for Common Stockholders increased $1.4 million to $62.9 million, or $0.34 per fully diluted Common Share, compared to $61.5 million, or $0.33 per fully diluted Common Share, for the same period in 2022. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, net income available for Common Stockholders increased $0.9 million, to $145.3 million, or $0.78, per fully diluted Common Share, compared to $144.4 million, or $0.78 per fully diluted Common Share, for the same period in 2022. Net income available for Common Stockholders for the six months ended June 30, 2023 includes accelerated vesting of stock-based compensation expense of $6.3 million recognized during the quarter ended June 30, 2023 and an impairment charge of approximately $2.6 million recognized during the quarter ended March 31, 2023 related to flooding events at certain Properties in California. For the quarter ended June 30, 2023, FFO available for Common Stock and Operating Partnership unit (“OP Unit”) holders increased $2.4 million, or $0.01 per fully diluted Common Share, to $118.6 million, or $0.61 per fully diluted Common Share, compared to $116.2 million, or $0.60 per fully diluted Common Share, for the same period in 2022. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, FFO available for Common Stock and OP Unit holders increased $5.3 million, or $0.03 per fully diluted Common Share, to $258.9 million, or $1.33 per fully diluted Common Share, compared to $253.6 million, or $1.30 per fully diluted Common Share for the same period in 2022. 22 Management's Discussion and Analysis (continued) For the quarter ended June 30, 2023, Normalized FFO available for Common Stock and OP Unit holders increased $5.0 million, or $0.03 per fully diluted Common Share, to $124.9 million, or $0.64 per fully diluted Common Share, compared to $119.9 million, or $0.61 per fully diluted Common Share, for the same period in 2022. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, Normalized FFO available for Common Stock and OP Unit holders increased $7.6 million, or $0.04 per fully diluted Common Share, to $265.4 million, or $1.36 per fully diluted Common Share, compared to $257.8 million, or $1.32 per fully diluted Common Share, for the same period in 2022. For the quarter ended June 30, 2023, our Core Portfolio property operating revenues increased 5.4% and property operating expenses, excluding property management, increased 7.1%, from the same period in 2022, resulting in an increase in income from property operations, excluding property management, of 3.9%, compared to the same period in 2022. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, our Core Portfolio property operating revenues increased 5.9% and property operating expenses, excluding property management, increased 7.3% from the same period in 2022, resulting in an increase in income from property operations, excluding property management, of 4.8% compared to the same period in 2022. We continue to focus on the quality of occupancy growth by increasing the number of manufactured homeowners in our Core Portfolio. Our Core Portfolio average occupancy includes both homeowners and renters in our MH communities and was 94.8%, 95.1% and 95.1% for the quarters ended June 30, 2023, December 31, 2022 and June 30, 2022, respectively. For the quarter ended June 30, 2023, our Core Portfolio occupancy decreased by 23 sites, which included an increase in homeowner occupancy of 151 sites and a decrease in rental occupancy of 174 compared to March 31, 2023. We continue to expect there to be fluctuations in the sources of occupancy depending on local market conditions, availability of vacant sites and success with converting renters to homeowners. As of June 30, 2023, we had 2,528 occupied rental homes in our Core MH communities. RV and marina base rental income in our Core Portfolio increased 2.3% for the quarter ended June 30, 2023, compared to the same period in 2022 driven by an increase in Annual and Seasonal RV rental income, partially offset by a decline in Transient RV rental income. Core RV and marina base rental income from annuals represents more than 71.6% of total Core RV and marina base rental income and increased 7.8% for the quarter ended June 30, 2023, compared to the same period in 2022 due to a 7.3% increase in rate and 0.5% increase in occupancy. Core seasonal RV and marina base rental income increased 1.6% for the quarter ended June 30, 2023, compared to the same period in 2022. Core transient RV and marina base rental income decreased by $2.9 million, or 13.9% for the quarter ended June 30, 2023, compared to the same period in 2022. Since June 30, 2022, we have increased our Core RV and marina annual site count by approximately 240 resulting in a reduction in the number of transient sites available for use. We also experienced significant weather events during the quarter ended June 30, 2023 in California, the Pacific Northwest, and the East Coast, which impacted our transient RV and marina base rental income. Demand for our homes and communities remains strong as evidenced by factors including our high occupancy levels. We closed 226 new home sales during the quarter ended June 30, 2023, compared to 365 new home sales during the quarter ended June 30, 2022, a decrease of 38.1%. The decrease in new home sales during the quarter ended June 30, 2023 were primarily in the Florida and Arizona market. Our gross investment in real estate increased $179.8 million to $7,549.3 million as of June 30, 2023 from $7,369.6 million as of December 31, 2022, primarily due to capital improvements and an acquisition during the six months ended June 30, 2023. 23 Management's Discussion and Analysis (continued) The following chart lists the Properties acquired or sold from January 1, 2022 through June 30, 2023 and Sites added through expansion opportunities at our existing Properties: Location Type of Property Transaction Date Sites Total Sites as of January 1, 2022 (1) 169,300 Acquisition Properties: Blue Mesa Recreational Ranch Gunnison, Colorado Membership February 18, 2022 385 Pilot Knob RV Resort Winterhaven, California RV February 18, 2022 247 Holiday Trav-L-Park Resort Emerald Isle, North Carolina RV June 15, 2022 299 Oceanside RV Resort Oceanside, California RV June 16, 2022 139 Hiawasee KOA JV Hiawassee, Georgia Unconsolidated JV November 10, 2022 283 Whippoorwill Campground Marmora, New Jersey RV December 20, 2022 288 Red Oak Shores Campground Ocean View, New Jersey RV March 28, 2023 223 Expansion Site Development: Sites added (reconfigured) in 2022 1,034 Sites added (reconfigured) in 2023 235 Ground Lease Termination: Westwinds San Jose, California MH August 31, 2022 (723) Total Sites as of June 30, 2023 (1) 171,700 ______________________ (1) Sites are approximate. 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 flows 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. We believe investors should review Income from property operations and Core Portfolio, FFO and Normalized FFO, along with GAAP net income and cash flow 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 and Normalized FFO, 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 property management, and Core Portfolio income from property operations, excluding 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 property management, represents income from property operations excluding property management expenses. Property management represents the expenses associated with indirect costs such as off-site payroll and certain administrative and professional expenses. We believe exclusion of property management expenses is helpful to investors and analysts as a measure of the operating results of 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 and maintenance 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 2022 and 2023. Core Portfolio income from property operations, excluding 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 2022 and 2023. This includes, but is not limited to, four 24 Management's Discussion and Analysis (continued) RV communities and one membership RV community acquired during 2022 and one RV community acquired during 2023. The Non-Core Properties also include Fish Tale Marina, Fort Myers Beach, Gulf Air, Palm Harbour Marina, Pine Island and Ramblers Rest. During the quarter ended June 30, 2023, we designated Rancho Oso and Turtle Beach as Non-Core properties as operations at these properties have been suspended due to storms and flooding events in California. FFO and 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 believe FFO, as defined by the Board of Governors of NAREIT, is generally a measure of performance for an equity REIT. While FFO is a relevant and widely used measure of operating performance for equity REITs, it does not represent cash flow from operations or net income as defined by GAAP, and it should not be considered as an alternative to these indicators in 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, 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. 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 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. 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.

(4) Membership sales and marketing expense is net of sales commission deferrals of $0.9 million and $1.0 million for the quarters ended June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022, respectively. (5) See Part I. Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis—Non-GAAP Financial Measures for definitions and reconciliations of these Non-GAAP measures to Net Income available for Common Shareholders. Total portfolio income from property operations for the quarter ended June 30, 2023, increased $10.2 million, or 6.8%, from the quarter ended June 30, 2022, driven by an increase of $6.2 million, or 4.3%, from our Core Portfolio, and an increase of $4.0 million from our Non-Core Portfolio. The increase in income from property operations from our Core Portfolio was primarily due to higher property operating revenues, primarily in MH base rental income, Utility and other income and RV and marina base rental income, partially offset by an increase in property operating and maintenance expenses. The increase in income from property operations from our Non-Core Portfolio was primarily due to business interruption income related to Hurricane Ian recognized during the quarter ended June 30, 2023 and higher RV and marina base rental income, partially offset by MH base rental income. 27 Management's Discussion and Analysis (continued) Property Operating Revenues MH base rental income in our Core Portfolio for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 increased $10.5 million, or 6.7%, from the quarter ended June 30, 2022, which reflects 7.0% growth from rate increases and a decline of 0.3% in occupancy. The average monthly base rental income per Site in our Core Portfolio increased to approximately $806 for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 from approximately $753 for the quarter ended June 30, 2022. The average occupancy for our Core Portfolio was 94.8% for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 and 95.1% for the quarter ended June 30, 2022. RV and marina base rental income is comprised of the following: Core Portfolio Total Portfolio Quarters Ended June 30, Quarters Ended June 30, (amounts in thousands) 2023 2022 Variance % Change 2023 2022 Variance % Change Annual $ 69,063 $ 64,043 $ 5,020 7.8 % $ 72,637 $ 66,653 $ 5,984 9.0 % Seasonal 9,093 8,950 143 1.6 % 9,486 9,473 13 0.1 % Transient 18,324 21,273 (2,949) (13.9) % 19,746 22,212 (2,466) (11.1) % RV and marina base rental income $ 96,480 $ 94,266 $ 2,214 2.3 % $ 101,869 $ 98,338 $ 3,531 3.6 % RV and marina base rental income in our Core Portfolio for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 increased $2.2 million, or 2.3%, from the quarter ended June 30, 2022, driven by an increase in Annual and Seasonal RV and marina base rental income, partially offset by a decrease in Transient rental income. The increase in Annual RV and marina base rental income of 7.8% was driven by an increase in rate of 7.3%. The decrease in Transient RV and marina base rental income of 13.9% was primarily due to a decrease in transient RV revenue as a result of a reduction in the number of Transient sites available and flooding events at certain Properties in California during the quarter. Utility and other income in our Core Portfolio for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 increased $2.3 million, or 8.6%, from the quarter ended June 30, 2022. The increase was primarily due to a $1.4 million and $1.0 million increase in utility income and other property income, respectively. The increase in utility income was primarily due to an increase in trash income in all regions, sewer income in the South and West and gas income in California and the West. Property Operating Expenses Property operating expenses, excluding property management, in our Core Portfolio for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 increased $9.6 million, or 7.1%, from the quarter ended June 30, 2022, driven by increases in property operating and maintenance expenses of $8.9 million. Core property operating and maintenance expenses were higher in 2023 primarily due to increases in insurance of $3.3 million, repair and maintenance of $2.1 million and utility expenses of $2.1 million. 28 Management's Discussion and Analysis (continued) Home Sales and Rental Operations Home Sales and Other The following table summarizes certain financial and statistical data for our Home Sales and Other Operations: Quarters Ended June 30, (amounts in thousands, except home sales volumes) 2023 2022 Variance % Change Gross revenues from new home sales $ 23,038 $ 33,848 $ (10,810) (31.9) % Cost of new home sales 20,812 30,020 (9,208) (30.7) % Gross revenues from used home sales 1,034 1,367 (333) (24.4) % Cost of used home sales 1,110 1,437 (327) (22.8) % Gross revenue from brokered resales and ancillary services 14,841 17,466 (2,625) (15.0) % Cost of brokered resales and ancillary services 7,346 9,514 (2,168) (22.8) % Home selling and ancillary operating expenses 7,170 7,584 (414) (5.5) % Home sales volumes Total new home sales (1) 226 365 (139) (38.1) % Used home sales 66 97 (31) (32.0) % Brokered home resales 201 263 (62) (23.6) % _________________________ (1) Total new home sales volume for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 includes 29 home sales from our ECHO JV.

(5) See Part I. Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis—Non-GAAP Financial Measures for definitions and reconciliation of these Non-GAAP measures to Net Income available for Common Shareholders. Total Portfolio income from property operations for the six months ended June 30, 2023 increased $17.6 million, or 5.5%, from the same period in 2022, driven by an increase of $14.9 million, or 4.8%, from our Core Portfolio and an increase of $2.7 million from our Non-Core Portfolio. The increase in income from property operations from our Core Portfolio was primarily due to higher property operating revenues primarily in MH base rental income, RV and marina base rental income and Utility and other income, partially offset by an increase in property operating and maintenance expenses. Property Operating Revenues MH base rental income in our Core Portfolio for the six months ended June 30, 2023 increased $20.5 million, or 6.6%, from the same period in 2022, which reflects 6.8% growth from rate increases and 0.2% decline in occupancy. The average monthly base rental income per Site increased to approximately $801 for the six months ended June 30, 2023 from approximately $750, for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The average occupancy for the Core Portfolio was 94.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to 95.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2022. 31 Management's Discussion and Analysis (continued) RV and marina base rental income is comprised of the following: Core Portfolio Total Portfolio Six Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, (amounts in thousands) 2023 2022 Variance % Change 2023 2022 Variance % Change Annual $ 136,066 $ 125,837 $ 10,229 8.1 % $ 142,038 $ 130,986 $ 11,052 8.4 % Seasonal 36,483 33,407 3,076 9.2 % 37,446 36,098 1,348 3.7 % Transient 32,253 37,571 (5,318) (14.2) % 33,977 40,018 (6,041) (15.1) % RV and marina base rental income $ 204,802 $ 196,815 $ 7,987 4.1 % $ 213,461 $ 207,102 $ 6,359 3.1 % RV and marina base rental income in our Core Portfolio for the six months ended June 30, 2023 increased $8.0 million, or 4.1%, from the same period in 2022 primarily due to increases in Annual and Seasonal RV and marina base rental income, partially offset by a decrease in Transient RV base rental income. The increase in Annual RV and marina base rental income of $10.2 million, or 8.1% was seen across all regions, primarily in the South, West and Northeast. The increase in Seasonal RV and marina base rental income of $3.1 million, or 9.2% was driven by increases in the South and West regions during the first quarter where we had 15.0% and 9.1% increases, respectively. Since June 30, 2022, we have increased our Core RV and marina annual site count by approximately 240 sites resulting in a reduction in number of transient sites available for use. We also experienced significant weather events during the six months ended June 30, 2023 in California, the Pacific Northwest, and the East Coast, which impacted our transient RV and marina base rental income. Utility and other income in our Core Portfolio for the six months ended June 30, 2023 increased $4.8 million, or 9.0%, from the same period in 2022. The increase was primarily due to an increase in utility income of $3.4 million. The increase in utility income was primarily due to an increase in electric income. The utility recovery rate (utility income divided by utility expenses) for 2023 and 2022 was approximately 46% and 45%, respectively. Property Operating Expenses Property operating expenses, excluding property management, in our Core Portfolio for the six months ended June 30, 2023 increased $18.8 million, or 7.3%, from the same period in 2022, driven by increases in property operating and maintenance expenses of $18.3 million. Core property operating and maintenance expenses were higher during the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the same period in 2022 due to increases in utility expenses of $6.2 million, repair and maintenance expenses of $4.7 million, insurance of $3.9 million, and property payroll expenses of $3.4 million. 32 Management's Discussion and Analysis (continued) Home Sales and Rental Operations Home Sales and Other The following table summarizes certain financial and statistical data for Home Sales and Other Operations: Six Months Ended June 30, (amounts in thousands, except home sales volumes) 2023 2022 Variance % Change Gross revenues from new home sales $ 41,352 $ 59,378 $ (18,026) (30.4) % Cost of new home sales 37,474 53,346 (15,872) (29.8) % Gross revenues from used home sales 2,209 2,365 (156) (6.6) % Cost of used home sales 2,055 2,847 (792) (27.8) % Gross revenue from brokered resales and ancillary services 27,485 30,647 (3,162) (10.3) % Cost of brokered resales and ancillary services 12,880 15,477 (2,597) (16.8) % Home selling and ancillary operating expenses 14,094 14,066 28 0.2 % Home sales volumes Total new home sales (1) 402 626 (224) (35.8) % Used home sales 168 169 (1) (0.6) % Brokered home resales 335 451 (116) (25.7) % _________________________ (1) Total new home sales volume for the six months ended June 30, 2022 includes 51 home sales from our ECHO JV.

Rental operations revenues were $2.1 million or 9.6% lower during the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022, primarily due to a decrease in the number of occupied rentals. 33 Management's Discussion and Analysis (continued) Other Income and Expenses The following table summarizes other income and expenses, net: Six Months Ended June 30, (amounts in thousands, expenses shown as negative) 2023 2022 Variance % Change Depreciation and amortization $ (101,966) $ (100,190) $ (1,776) (1.8) % Interest income 4,347 3,481 866 24.9 % Income from other investments, net 4,564 4,521 43 1.0 % General and administrative (28,268) (23,750) (4,518) (19.0) % Other expenses (2,849) (5,251) 2,402 45.7 % Early debt retirement — (1,156) 1,156 100.0 % Interest and related amortization (65,710) (55,517) (10,193) (18.4) % Total other income and expenses, net $ (189,882) $ (177,862) $ (12,020) (6.8) % Total other income and expenses, net increased $12.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022, primarily due to higher interest and related amortization expense as a result of an increase in interest rates and general and administrative expense as a result of accelerated vesting of stock-based compensation expense. Casualty-related charges/(recoveries), net During the six months ended June 30, 2023, we recorded $10.3 million of expenses for debris removal and cleanup costs and an offsetting insurance recovery revenue of $10.3 million related to Hurricane Ian. Loss on sale of real estate and impairment, net During the six months ended June 30, 2023, we recorded an impairment charge of approximately $2.6 million related to flooding events at certain California properties. 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 (the “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. As of June 30, 2023, we had available liquidity in the form of approximately 413.7 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. 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. For additional information regarding our interest rate swap, see Part I. Item 1. Financial Statements—Note 9. Derivative Instruments and Hedging . 34 Management's Discussion and Analysis (continued) We previously entered into a Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (“Credit Agreement”), pursuant to which we have access to a $500.0 million unsecured LOC and a $300.0 million senior unsecured term loan (the “$300 million Term Loan”). On March 1, 2023, we amended the Credit Agreement to transition the LIBOR rate borrowings to Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) borrowings. See Part I. Item 1. Financial Statements—Note 8. Borrowing Arrangements for further details. As of June 30, 2023, the Company has no remaining LIBOR based borrowings. In May 2023, we locked rate on a $375.0 million secured financing at a weighted average interest rate of 5.05% with a weighted average term to maturity of 7.5 years. We expect to close in the third quarter of 2023. In June 2023, we closed on a secured financing transaction generating gross proceeds of $89.0 million (the “June 2023 financing”). The loan represents an incremental borrowing from an existing secured facility, has a fixed interest rate of 5.04% per annum and matures in 10 years. In July 2023, we repaid all debt scheduled to mature in 2023 and 2024 with proceeds from the June 2023 financing and our unsecured line of credit. In July 2023, we also closed on an $80.0 million tranche of the $375.0 million secured financing, and we expect to close on the remaining $295.0 million in the third quarter of 2023. In connection with our $300 million Term Loan, we entered into a Swap Agreement (the “2021 Swap”) allowing us to trade the variable interest rate for a fixed interest rate. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, in connection with the amendment to the Credit Agreement, we replaced the LIBOR benchmarked swap with a SOFR benchmarked swap. See Part I. Item 1. Financial Statements—Note 9. Derivative Instruments and Hedging for further details. We previously entered into a $200.0 million senior unsecured term loan agreement. In connection with our $200 million Term Loan, in April 2023, we entered into a Swap Agreement (the “2023 Swap”) allowing us to trade the variable interest rate for a fixed interest rate. See Part I. Item 1. Financial Statements—Note 9. Derivative Instruments and Hedging for further details. 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 June 30, 2023, our LOC had a borrowing capacity of $295.0 million. 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. The following table summarizes our cash flows activity: Six Months Ended June 30, (amounts in thousands) 2023 2022 Net cash provided by operating activities (1) $ 266,826 $ 303,765 Net cash used in investing activities (1) (153,606) (251,352) Net cash used in financing activities (107,460) (133,385) Net increase (decrease) in cash and restricted cash $ 5,760 $ (80,972) ______________________ (1) Amounts are restated.
