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, 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, 2023.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Other than the item noted below, there were no material changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the year ended December 31, 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, 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, 2023, has been audited by our independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in its report on page 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
59
management has concluded, through its testing, that the control was operating effectively and the material weakness was remediated as of September 30, 2023.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Stockholders and Board of Directors 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, 2023 and 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, 2023, 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, 2023 and 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 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, 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 21, 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.
Critical Audit Matter
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective or complex judgments. The communication of the critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.
F-2
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Description of the Matter At December 31, 2023, the Company’s consolidated net investment in real estate totaled $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 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 is sensitive to significant assumptions such as forecasted net operating income, and capitalization rates used to estimate the property’s residual value, both of which can be affected by expectations about future market conditions, customer demand, and 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 impairment of long-lived assets, including controls over management’s review of the assumptions described above.
To test the Company’s process for evaluating impairment of long-lived assets, we performed audit procedures that included, among others, assessing the methodology used, evaluating the assumptions discussed above and testing the completeness and accuracy of the underlying data used by the Company in its analyses. We compared the significant assumptions used by the Company to historical operational results, current market data, and real estate industry publications. As part of our procedures, we also evaluated significant variances between the forecasted cash flows and historical actual results and performed sensitivity analyses of significant assumptions to evaluate the
changes in the undiscounted cash flows 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 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, 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, 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, 2023 and 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, 2023, and the related notes and financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 15 and our report dated February 21, 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 company; 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.

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 95.3 % as of December 31, 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, 2023, the Non-controlling interests—Common OP Units were 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.
Since we have elected to be taxed as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes, 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. Subsidiaries of RSI also operate ancillary activities at certain Properties, such as golf courses, pro shops, stores and restaurants.

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 95.3 %. 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.
(b) Use of Estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("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.

In-place leases Expected term
Above and below-market leases Applicable lease term
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
F-12
Equity LifeStyle Properties, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 2—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
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.
During the 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
We account for acquisitions of investments in real estate by assessing each acquisition to determine if it meets the definition of a 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 through 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.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
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, 2023 and 2022, the gross carrying amount of identified intangible assets and goodwill was $ 55.6 million, which is reported as a component of other assets, net on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of both December 31, 2023 and 2022, this amount was comprised of $ 38.0 million of identified intangible assets and $ 17.6 million of goodwill. Accumulated amortization of identified intangibles assets was $ 12.2 million and $ 7.7 million as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The estimated annual aggregated amortization expense to be recognized over each of the next five years is $ 3.6 million. The weighted average remaining useful life is approximately seven 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 an 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 our consolidated financial statements, then the transaction is presented as discontinued operations.
(g) Restricted Cash
As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, restricted cash consisted of $ 25.7 million and $ 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. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.

Equity LifeStyle Properties, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
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. 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 $ 29.5 million and $ 28.1 million as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
(j) Allowance for Credit Losses
We account for allowance for credit losses under the current expected credit loss ("CECL") impairment model for our financial assets, including receivables from tenants, receivables for annual membership subscriptions, Contracts Receivable and Chattel Loans (See Note 8. Notes Receivable, Net for definition of these terms), and present the net amount of the financial instrument expected to be collected. The CECL impairment model requires an estimate of expected credit losses, measured over the contractual life of an instrument, that considers forecasts of future economic conditions in addition to information about past events and current conditions. Our allowance for credit losses was as follows:
December 31,
(amounts in thousands):
2023 2022
Balance, beginning of year $ 20,371 $ 21,049
Provision for losses 4,789 5,242
Write-offs ( 5,685 ) ( 5,920 )
Balance, end of year $ 19,475 $ 20,371
(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 because 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.
(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.

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 one -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.
(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, 2023 and 2022, the REIT had a federal net operating loss carryforward of approximately $ 48.6 million and $ 51.7 million, respectively. The Company utilized $ 3.1 million and zero of the net operating loss carryforward to offset its tax and distribution 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, 2023 and 2022.

Note 2—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
In addition, we own certain TRSs, which are subject to federal and state income taxes at regular corporate tax rates and have federal net operating loss carryforwards. We maintained a valuation allowance against the TRSs' net deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2022. We regularly assess the need for a valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets and concluded at December 31, 2023 that it was more likely than not we would realize the benefit of the deferred tax assets. Therefore, we released the full valuation allowance of $ 10.5 million in 2023.
The REIT remains subject to certain foreign, state and local income, excise or franchise taxes; however, they are not material to our operating results or financial position. We do not have unrecognized tax benefit items.
We, or one of our Subsidiaries, file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, various U.S. state jurisdictions and Canada. With few exceptions, we are no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local, or non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2019.
As of December 31, 2023, net investment in real estate and notes receivable had a U.S. federal tax basis of approximately $ 5.1 billion (unaudited) and $ 57.0 million (unaudited), respectively.
During the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, our tax treatment of common stock distributions was as follows (unaudited):
2023 2022 2021
Tax status of common stock distributions deemed paid during the year:
Ordinary income $ 1.649 $ 1.483 $ 1.538

Non-dividend distributions 0.141 0.152 —
Distributions declared per common stock outstanding $ 1.795 $ 1.635 $ 1.538
The quarterly distribution paid on January 12, 2024 of $ 0.447500 (unaudited) per share of common stock will all be allocable to 2023 for federal tax purposes.
(p) New Accounting Pronouncements
In 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, 2025, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2023-05, but do not expect the adoption to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In November 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280) : I mprovements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”), which aims to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. 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 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. We are currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2023-09, but do not expect the adoption to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

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:

As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, Contracts Receivable, net of allowance, was $ 42.3 million and $ 36.6 million, respectively. Contracts Receivable, as of December 31, 2023, had an average stated interest rate of 15.4 % per annum, a weighted average term remaining of 4.6 years and require monthly payments of principal and interest.
In certain cases, we purchase loans made by an unaffiliated lender to finance the sales of homes to our customers at our Properties (referred to as “Chattel Loans”). These loans are secured by the underlying homes sold and require monthly principal and interest payments.

The proceeds were used to repay the outstanding balance on the unsecured line of credit (“LOC”) and $ 100.4 million of principal on three mortgages that were due to mature in 2023 and 2024. The repaid mortgages had a weighted average fixed interest rate of 4.94 % per annum and were secured by 14 MH and RV properties.
2022 Activity
We repaid $ 14.2 million of principal on two mortgage loans that were due to mature in 2022, incurring $ 0.5 million of prepayment penalties. These mortgage loans had a weighted average interest rate of 5.25 % per annum and were secured by three RV communities.
We entered into a $ 200.0 million secured refinancing transaction. The loan is secured by one MH community, has a fixed interest rate of 3.36 % per annum and has a maturity date of May 1, 2034. The net proceeds from the transaction were used to repay all debt scheduled to mature in 2022 and to repay amounts outstanding on the LOC.
Unsecured Debt
We previously entered into a Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (“Credit Agreement”), pursuant to which we have access to a $ 500.0 million LOC and a $ 300.0 million senior unsecured term loan (the “$ 300 million Term Loan”). We have the option to increase the borrowing capacity by $ 200.0 million, subject to certain conditions. On March 1, 2023, we amended the Credit Agreement to transition the LIBOR rate borrowings to Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) borrowings. The LOC bears interest at a rate of SOFR plus 1.25 % to 1.65 %, requires an annual facility fee of 0.20 % to 0.35 % and matures on April 18, 2025. The $ 300 million Term Loan has an interest rate of SOFR plus 1.40 % to 1.95 % per annum and matures on April 17, 2026. For both the LOC and the $ 300 million Term Loan, the spread over SOFR is variable based on leverage throughout the respective loan terms. As of December 31, 2023, the Company has no remaining LIBOR based borrowings.
During the year ended December 31, 2022, we entered into a $ 200.0 million senior unsecured term loan agreement. The maturity date is January 21, 2027, with an interest rate of SOFR plus approximately 1.30 % to 1.80 %, depending on leverage levels.
The LOC had a balance of $ 31.0 million and $ 198.0 million outstanding as of December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. As of December 31, 2023, our LOC had a remaining borrowing capacity of $ 469.0 million.

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.
The changes in the fair value of the designated derivative that qualify as a cash flow hedge 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.
In March 2021, we entered into a Swap Agreement (the “2021 Swap”) with a notional amount of $ 300.0 million allowing us to trade the variable interest rate associated with our $ 300.0 million Term Loan for a fixed interest rate. In March 2023, we amended the 2021 Swap agreement to reflect the change in the $ 300.0 million Term Loan interest rate benchmark from LIBOR to SOFR (see Note 9. Borrowing Arrangements ). The 2021 Swap has a fixed interest rate of 0.41 % per annum and matures on March 25, 2024. Based on the leverage as of December 31, 2023, our spread over SOFR was 1.40 % resulting in an estimated all-in interest rate of 1.81 % per annum.
In April 2023, we entered into a Swap Agreement (the “2023 Swap”) with a notional amount of $ 200.0 million allowing us to trade the variable interest rate associated with our $ 200.0 million Term Loan for a fixed interest rate. The 2023 Swap has a fixed interest rate of 3.68 % per annum and matures on January 21, 2027. Based on the leverage as of December 31, 2023, our spread over SOFR was 1.20 % resulting in an estimated all-in interest rate of 4.88 % per annum.
Our derivative financial instruments are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. The following table presents the fair value of our derivative financial instrument:

During the next twelve months, we estimate that $ 5.6 million will be reclassified as a decrease to interest expense. This estimate may be subject to change as the underlying SOFR changes. We determined that no adjustment was necessary for non-performance risk on our derivative obligations. As of December 31, 2023, we had not posted any collateral related to the Swaps.

Note 13— Equity Incentive Awards
Our 2014 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2014 Plan”) was adopted by the Board of Directors on March 11, 2014 and approved by our stockholders on May 13, 2014. Pursuant to the 2014 Plan, our officers, directors, employees and consultants may be awarded restricted stock, options, including non-qualified stock options and incentive stock options and other forms of equity awards subject to conditions and restrictions determined by the Compensation, Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of our Board of Directors (the “Compensation Committee”).
Equity awards under the 2014 Plan are made by the Compensation Committee, who determines the individuals eligible to receive awards, the types of awards and the terms, conditions and restrictions applicable to any award. Grants to directors are determined by the Board of Directors. As of December 31, 2023, 5,135,450 shares remained available for future grants.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 13—Equity Incentive Awards (continued)
Restricted stock and options under the 2014 Plan have a maximum contractual term of ten years from the date of grant and have an exercise price not less than the fair value of the stock on the grant date. Individual grants could have different vesting periods but generally no longer than three and a half years. All restricted stock awards have non-forfeitable rights to dividend payments even if the underlying stock does not entirely vest.
Grants Issued
During the quarter ended March 31, 2023, 82,884 shares of restricted stock were awarded to certain members of our management team. Of these shares, 50 % are time-based awards, vesting in equal installments over a three-year period on January 30, 2024, February 4, 2025 and February 3, 2026, respectively, and have a grant date fair value of $ 3.0 million. The remaining 50 % are performance-based awards vesting in equal installments on January 30, 2024, February 4, 2025 and February 3, 2026, respectively, upon meeting performance conditions as established by the Compensation Committee in the year of the vesting period. They are valued using the closing price at the grant date when all the key terms and conditions are known to all parties. The 13,812 shares of restricted stock subject to 2023 performance goals have a grant date fair value of $ 1.0 million.
During the quarter ended June 30, 2023, we awarded to certain members of our Board of Directors 60,391 shares of restricted stock at a fair value of approximately $ 4.1 million and options to purchase 8,450 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $ 68.01 . These are time-based awards subject to various vesting dates between October 25, 2023 and April 24, 2026.
Stock-based compensation expense, reported in General and administrative expense on the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income, for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 was $ 14.7 million, $ 10.5 million and $ 10.9 million, respectively. Stock-based compensation expense of $ 14.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 includes accelerated vesting of stock-based compensation expense of $ 6.3 million recognized during the quarter ended June 30, 2023, as a result of the passing of a member of our Board of Directors.

Note 14— Long-Term Cash Incentive Plan
2022 LTIP
On February 7, 2022, the Compensation Committee approved a Long-Term Cash Incentive Plan Award (the “2022 LTIP”) to provide a long-term cash bonus opportunity to certain members of our management. The 2022 LTIP was approved by the Compensation Committee pursuant to the authority set forth in the Long-Term Cash Incentive Plan approved by our Board of Directors on May 15, 2007. The total cumulative payment for all participants (the “2022 LTIP Eligible Payment”) is based upon certain performance conditions being met over a three-year period ending December 31, 2024.
The Compensation Committee has responsibility for administering the 2022 LTIP and may use its reasonable discretion to adjust the performance criteria or the 2022 LTIP Eligible Payment to take into account the impact of any major or unforeseen transaction or event. Our named executive officers are not participants in the 2022 LTIP. The 2022 LTIP Eligible Payment will be paid, at the discretion of the Compensation Committee, in cash upon completion of our annual audit for the 2024 fiscal year and upon satisfaction of the vesting conditions as outlined in the 2022 LTIP. For each of the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, we accrued compensation expense of approximately $ 3.1 million.
Note 15— Savings Plan
We maintain a qualified retirement plan under which eligible employees may defer compensation for income tax purposes under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code (the “401K Plan”). The 401K Plan permits eligible employees and those of any Subsidiary to defer up to 60.0 % of their compensation on a pre-tax basis subject to certain limits. 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.

Equity LifeStyle Properties, Inc.

Our contribution to the 401K Plan was approximately $ 2.8 million, $ 2.4 million and $ 2.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Note 16— Commitments and Contingencies
We are involved in various legal and regulatory proceedings (“Proceedings”) arising in the ordinary course of business. The Proceedings include, but are not limited to, legal claims made by employees, vendors and customers, and notices, consent decrees, information requests, additional permit requirements and other similar enforcement actions by governmental agencies relating to our utility infrastructure, including water and wastewater treatment plants and other waste treatment facilities and electrical systems. Additionally, in the ordinary course of business, our operations are subject to audit by various taxing authorities. Management believes these Proceedings taken together do not represent a material liability. In addition, to the extent any such Proceedings or audits relate to newly acquired Properties, we consider any potential indemnification obligations of sellers in our favor.
Beginning on August 31, 2023 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 several owner/operators of manufactured housing communities, including ELS (the “Datacomp Litigation”), alleging that the community owner/operators used JLT Market Reports produced by Datacomp to conspire to raise manufactured home lot rents in violation of Section 1 of the Sherman Act. ELS purchased Datacomp in connection with the MHVillage/Datacomp acquisition during the year 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 monetary damages, including attorneys’ fees. The defendants filed a motion to dismiss on January 29, 2024.
We believe that the Datacomp Litigation is without merit, and we intend to vigorously defend our interests in this matter. As of December 31, 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 two 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, 2023, 2022 and 2021.
