1. Basis of Presentation

Sun Communities, Inc., a Maryland corporation, and all wholly-owned or majority-owned and controlled subsidiaries, including Sun Communities Operating Limited Partnership (the "Operating Partnership"), Sun Home Services, Inc. ("SHS") and Safe Harbor Marinas, LLC ("Safe Harbor") are referred to herein as the "Company," "us," "we," and "our."

We follow accounting standards set by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB"). FASB establishes accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"), which we follow to ensure that we consistently report our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. References to GAAP issued by the FASB in these footnotes are to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC"). These unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") for interim financial information and in accordance with GAAP. We present interim disclosures and certain information and footnote disclosures as required by SEC rules and regulations. Accordingly, the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements reflect, in the opinion of management, all adjustments, including adjustments of a normal and recurring nature, necessary for a fair presentation of the interim financial statements. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

During the three months ended March 31, 2021, we changed our organizational structure from a two-segment to a three-segment structure as a result of the recent acquisition of Safe Harbor and its internal organization. The new structure reflects how the chief operating decision maker manages the business, makes operating decisions, allocates resources and evaluates operating performance. Beginning with the three months ended March 31, 2021, we report our financial results consistent with our newly realigned operating segments. All prior period amounts are recast to conform to the way we internally manage our business and monitor segment performance. Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period financial statements and related notes in order to conform to the current period presentation. The most significant changes were the combining of rental home revenue with real property revenue, the combining of rental home operating and maintenance expenses with property operating expenses, and the combining of home selling expenses with cost of home sales. Vacation rental home rent has been reclassified from ancillary income into real property. In addition, ancillary revenues and expenses have been renamed service, retail, dining & entertainment. There was no impact to prior period net income, stockholders equity or cash flows for any of the reclassifications.

The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full year. These unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 as filed with the SEC on February 18, 2021 (our "2020 Annual Report"). These statements have been prepared on a basis that is substantially consistent with the accounting principles applied in our 2020 Annual Report.

Our three reportable segments are: (i) Manufactured home ("MH") communities, (ii) Recreational vehicle ("RV") resorts and (iii) Marinas.

Goodwill impairment

Upon review of the qualitative factors in accordance with ASC 350-20, "Goodwill and Other," we determined that no impairment indicators existed as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. As a result, there was no impairment of goodwill during the six months ended June 30, 2021.

Goodwill was preliminary as of December 31, 2020, subject to revisions based on purchase price allocations for the Safe Harbor and Rybovich business combination acquisitions which are reflected in the revised goodwill balance at June 30, 2021. There was an incremental acquisition during the quarter ended June 30, 2021 which resulted in additional goodwill.

The mortgage term loans totaling $3.4 billion as of June 30, 2021, are secured by 192 properties comprised of 76,408 sites representing approximately $3.2 billion of net book value.

Collateralized Term Loan

In October 2019, we assumed a term loan facility, in the amount of $58.0 million in relation to an acquisition. The term loan has a four-year term ending October 29, 2023, and bears interest at a floating rate based on the Eurodollar rate or Prime rate plus a margin ranging from 1.20 percent to 2.05 percent. As of June 30, 2021, the margin based on our leverage ratio was 1.20 percent. The outstanding balance was $39.6 million at June 30, 2021 and $45.0 million at December 31, 2020. These balances are recorded in the Secured debt line item on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The collateralized term loan balance as of June 30, 2021, is secured by 31 properties comprised of 5,165 sites representing approximately $375.2 million of net book value.

Unsecured Debt

Senior Unsecured Notes

On June 28, 2021, we issued $600.0 million of senior unsecured notes with an interest rate of 2.70 percent and a ten-year term, due 2031 (the "2031 Notes"). Interest on the senior unsecured notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on January 15 and July 15 of each year, beginning on January 15, 2022. The net proceeds from the offering were approximately $592.4 million, after deducting underwriters' discounts and estimated offering expenses. The proceeds were used to pay down borrowings under our line of credit. The outstanding balance was $591.7 million at June 30, 2021. This balance is recorded in the Unsecured debt line item on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Line of Credit

On June 14, 2021, we entered into a new credit agreement (the "New Credit Agreement") with certain lenders. The New Credit Agreement combined and replaced our prior $750.0 million credit facility, which was scheduled to mature on May 21, 2023, (the "A&R Facility"), and the $1.8 billion credit facility between Safe Harbor and certain lenders, which was scheduled to mature on October 11, 2024 (the "Safe Harbor Facility"). The Safe Harbor Facility was terminated in connection with the execution of the New Credit Agreement. We repaid all amounts due and outstanding under the Safe Harbor Facility on or prior to such effective date. We recognized a Loss on extinguishment of debt in our Consolidated Statement of Operations related to the termination of the A&R Facility and the Safe Harbor Facility of $0.2 million and $7.9 million, respectively.

Pursuant to the New Credit Agreement, we may borrow up to $2.0 billion under a revolving loan (the "New Credit Facility"). The New Credit Facility is available to fund all of the Company's business, including its marina business conducted by Safe Harbor. The New Credit Agreement also permits, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, additional borrowings (with the consent of the lenders) in an amount not to exceed $1.0 billion with the option to treat all, or a portion, of such additional funds as an incremental term loan.

SUN COMMUNITIES, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)

(Unaudited)

The New Credit Facility has a four-year term ending June 14, 2025, and, at our option, the maturity date may be extended for two additional six-month periods, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. However, the maturity date with respect to $500.0 million of available borrowing under the New Credit Facility is October 11, 2024, which, under the terms of the New Credit Agreement, may not be extended. The New Credit Facility bears interest at a floating rate based on the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate or Australian Bank Bill Swap Bid Rate (BBSY), plus a margin that is determined based on the Company's credit ratings calculated in accordance with the New Credit Agreement, which can range from 0.725 percent to 1.400 percent. As of June 30, 2021, the margin based on our credit ratings was 0.850 percent on the New Credit Facility.

At the lenders' option, the New Credit Facility will become immediately due and payable upon an event of default under the New Credit Agreement. We had $190.3 million of borrowings on the New Credit Facility as of June 30, 2021, all scheduled to mature June 14, 2025. As of December 31, 2020, we had $40.4 million of borrowings on the revolving loan and no borrowings on the term loan under our A&R Facility, respectively. As of December 31, 2020, we had $652.0 million and $500.0 million of borrowings under the revolving loan and term loan under Safe Harbor Facility, respectively. These balances are recorded in the Unsecured debt line item on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The New Credit Facility provides us with the ability to issue letters of credit. Our issuance of letters of credit does not increase our borrowings outstanding under the New Credit Facility, but does reduce the borrowing amount available. At June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we had approximately $3.2 million and $2.4 million (including none and $0.3 million associated with Safe Harbor's prior credit facility) of outstanding letters of credit, respectively.

Floor Plan

We have a $12.0 million manufactured home floor plan facility renewable indefinitely until our lender provides us at least a 12-month notice of their intent to terminate the agreement. The interest rate is 100 basis points over the greater of the prime rate as quoted in the Wall Street Journal on the first business day of each month or 6.0 percent. At June 30, 2021, the effective interest rate was 7.0 percent. The outstanding balance was $1.5 million as of June 30, 2021 and $4.8 million as of December 31, 2020. These balances are recorded within the Unsecured debt line item on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Preferred Equity - Sun NG Resorts - mandatorily redeemable

In connection with the investment in Sun NG Resorts, $35.3 million of mandatorily redeemable Preferred Equity ("Preferred Equity - Sun NG Resorts") was purchased by unrelated third parties. The Preferred Equity - Sun NG Resorts carries a preferred rate of return of 6.0 percent per annum. The Preferred Equity - Sun NG Resorts has a seven-year term ending June 1, 2025 and $33.4 million can be redeemed in the fourth quarter of 2024 at the holders' option. The Preferred Equity - Sun NG Resorts as of June 30, 2021 was $35.2 million. These balances are recorded within the Unsecured debt line item on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Refer to Note 7, "Consolidated Variable Interest Entities," and Note 9, "Equity and Temporary Equity," for additional information.

Preferred OP Units - mandatorily redeemable

Preferred OP units at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 include $34.7 million of Aspen preferred OP units issued by the Operating Partnership. As of June 30, 2021, these units are convertible indirectly into 394,814 shares of our common stock.

In January 2020, we amended the Operating Partnership's partnership agreement. The amendment extended the automatic redemption date and reduced the annual distribution rate for 270,000 of the Aspen preferred OP units (the "Extended Units"). Subject to certain limitations, at any time prior to January 1, 2024 (or prior to January 1, 2034 with respect to the Extended Units), the holder of each Aspen preferred OP unit at its option may convert such Aspen preferred OP unit into: (a) if the average closing price of our common stock for the preceding ten trading days is $68.00 per share or less, 0.397 common OP units; or (b) if the ten-day average closing price is greater than $68.00 per share, the number of common OP units is determined by dividing (i) the sum of (A) $27.00 plus (B) 25.0 percent of the amount by which the ten-day average closing price exceeds $68.00 per share, by (ii) the ten-day average closing price. The current preferred distribution rate is 3.8 percent on the Extended Units and 6.5 percent on all other Aspen preferred OP units. On January 2, 2024 (or January 2, 2034 with respect to the Extended Units), we are required to redeem for cash all Aspen preferred OP units that have not been converted to common OP units. As of June 30, 2021, 270,000 of the Extended Units and 1,013,819 other Aspen preferred units were outstanding. These balances are recorded within the Unsecured debt line item on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Covenants

The mortgage term loans, collateralized term loans, senior unsecured notes, New Credit Facility and floor plan are subject to various financial and other covenants.

At June 30, 2021, we were in compliance with all covenants.

In addition, certain of our subsidiary borrowers own properties that secure loans. These subsidiaries are consolidated within our accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements, however, each of these subsidiaries' assets and credit are not available to satisfy our debts and other obligations, any of our other subsidiaries or any other person or entity.

The offering consisted of 4,000,000 shares offered directly by us and 4,050,000 shares offered under a forward equity sales agreement (the "March 2021 Forward Equity Offering"). We sold the 4,000,000 shares on March 9, 2021 and received net proceeds of $537.6 million after deducting expenses related to the offering. In May and June 2021, we completed the physical settlement of the remaining 4,050,000 shares and received net proceeds of $539.7 million after deducting expenses related to the offering.

10. Share-Based Compensation

As of June 30, 2021, we had two share-based compensation plans: the Sun Communities, Inc. 2015 Equity Incentive Plan ("2015 Equity Incentive Plan") and the First Amended and Restated 2004 Non-Employee Director Option Plan ("2004 Non-Employee Director Option Plan"). We believe granting equity awards will provide certain executives, key employees and directors additional incentives to promote our financial success and promote employee and director retention by providing an opportunity to acquire or increase the direct proprietary interest of those individuals in our operations and future.

During the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, shares were granted as follows:

We estimate the fair value of share-based compensation for restricted stock with market conditions using a Monte Carlo simulation. At the grant date our common stock price was $147.19.

The vesting requirements for 285,224 and 248,155 restricted shares granted to our executives, directors and employees were satisfied during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

11. Segment Reporting

ASC Topic 280, "Segment Reporting" ("ASC 280"), establishes standards for the way the business enterprises report information about operating segments in its financial statements. As described in Note 1, "Basis of Presentation," Effective January 1, 2021, we transitioned from a two-segment to a three-segment structure as a result of the recent acquisition of Safe Harbor and its internal organization.

The MH segment owns, operates, develops, or has an interest in, a portfolio of MH communities and is in the business of acquiring, operating and developing ground up MH communities to provide affordable housing solutions to residents. The MH segment also provides manufactured home sales and leasing services to tenants and prospective tenants of our communities.

The RV segment owns, operates, develops, or has an interest in, a portfolio of RV resorts and is in the business of acquiring, operating and developing ground up RV resorts throughout the U.S. and in Canada. It also provides leasing services for vacation rentals within the RV resorts.

The marina segment owns, operates, has an interest in a portfolio, and develops marinas, and is in the business of acquiring, and operating marinas throughout the U.S. with the majority of such marinas concentrated in coastal regions and others located in various inland regions.

Hybrid properties are classified to a segment based on the predominant site counts at the properties.

12. Income Taxes

We have elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust ("REIT") pursuant to Section 856(c) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended ("Code"). In order for us to qualify as a REIT, at least 95 percent of our gross income in any year must be derived from qualifying sources. In addition, a REIT must distribute annually at least 90 percent of its REIT taxable income (calculated without any deduction for dividends paid and excluding capital gain) to its stockholders and meet other tests.

Qualification as a REIT involves the satisfaction of numerous requirements (on an annual and quarterly basis) established under highly technical and complex Code provisions for which there are limited judicial or administrative interpretations and involves the determination of various factual matters and circumstances not entirely within our control. In addition, frequent changes occur in the area of REIT taxation, which requires us to continually monitor our tax status. We analyzed the various REIT tests and confirmed that we continued to qualify as a REIT for the six months ended June 30, 2021.

As a REIT, we generally will not be subject to United States ("U.S.") federal income taxes at the corporate level on the ordinary taxable income we distribute to our stockholders as dividends. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, our taxable income could be subject to U.S. federal income tax at regular corporate rates. Even if we qualify as a REIT, we may be subject to certain state and local income taxes as well as U.S. federal income and excise taxes on our undistributed income. In addition, taxable income from non-REIT activities managed through taxable REIT subsidiaries is subject to federal, state, and local income taxes. We are also subject to local income taxes in Canada as a result of the acquisition in 2016 of certain properties located in Canada. We do not provide for withholding taxes on our undistributed earnings from our Canadian subsidiaries as they are reinvested and will continue to be reinvested indefinitely outside of the U.S. However, we are subject to Australian withholding taxes on distributions from our investment in Ingenia Communities Group.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities reflect the impact of temporary differences between the amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the basis of such assets and liabilities as measured by tax laws. Deferred tax assets are reduced, if necessary, by a valuation allowance to the amount where realization is more likely than not assured after considering all available evidence. Our temporary differences primarily relate to net operating loss carryforwards, and depreciation and basis differences between tax and GAAP. Our deferred tax assets that have a full valuation allowance relate to our taxable REIT subsidiaries. Net deferred tax liabilities of $20.4 million and $20.5 million for Canadian entities have been recorded in relation to corporate entities and included in other liabilities in our Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. U.S. federal deferred tax liabilities of $0.1 million have been recorded and included in our Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

We had no unrecognized tax benefits as of June 30, 2021 and 2020. We do not expect significant changes in tax positions that would result in unrecognized tax benefits within one year of June 30, 2021.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 we recorded a current tax expense for federal, state, and Canadian income taxes and Australian withholding taxes of $1.2 million and $1.0 million, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 we recorded a current tax expense for federal, state and Canadian income taxes of $0.1 million and $0.6 million, respectively.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 we recorded a deferred tax expense of $66.0 thousand and a deferred tax benefit of $0.1 million, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 we recorded a deferred tax benefit of $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively.

13. Earnings Per Share

Earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period on a basic and diluted basis. We calculate diluted earnings per share using the more dilutive of the treasury stock method and the two-class method.

From time to time, we enter into forward equity sales agreements, which are discussed in Note 9, "Equity and Temporary Equity," We considered the potential dilution resulting from the forward equity sales agreements on the EPS calculations. At inception, the agreements do not have an effect on the computation of basic EPS as no shares are delivered until settlement. The common shares issued upon the settlement of the forward equity sales agreements, weighted for the period these common shares are outstanding, are usually included in the denominator of basic EPS. To determine the dilution resulting from the forward equity sales agreements during the period of time prior to settlement, we calculate the number of weighted-average shares outstanding - diluted.

Our potentially dilutive securities include potential common shares related to our forward equity offerings, our unvested restricted common shares, and our Operating Partnership outstanding common OP units, Series A-1 preferred OP units, Series A-3 preferred OP units, Series C preferred OP units, Series D preferred OP units, Series E preferred OP units, Series F preferred OP units, Series G preferred OP units, Series H preferred OP units, Series I preferred OP units, Series J preferred OP units and Aspen preferred OP Units, which, if converted or exercised, may impact dilution.

Diluted earnings per share considers the impact of potentially dilutive securities except when the potential common shares have an antidilutive effect. Our unvested restricted stock common shares contain rights to receive non-forfeitable dividends and participate equally with common stock with respect to dividends issued or declared, and thus, are participating securities, requiring the two-class method of computing earnings per share. The two-class method determines earnings per share by dividing the sum of distributed earnings to common stockholders and undistributed earnings allocated to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. In calculating the two-class method, undistributed earnings are allocated to both common shares and participating securities based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. The remaining potential dilutive common shares do not contain rights to dividends and are included in the computation of diluted earnings per share.

Computations of basic and diluted earnings per share were as follows (in thousands, except per share data):

14. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Our financial instruments consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, marketable securities, notes and other receivables, debt, and other liabilities. We utilize fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures, pursuant to ASC 820, "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures." The following methods and assumptions were used in order to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value:

ASC Topic 820 "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures," requires disclosure regarding determination of fair value for assets and liabilities and establishes a hierarchy under which these assets and liabilities must be grouped, based on significant levels of observable or unobservable inputs. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect our market assumption. This hierarchy requires the use of observable market data when available. These two types of inputs have created the following fair value hierarchy:

Level 1 - Quoted unadjusted prices for identical instruments in active markets that we have the ability to access;

Level 2 - Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable (e.g. interest rates, yield curves, prepayment speeds, default rates, loss severity, etc.) in active markets or can be corroborated by observable market data; and

Level 3 - Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable. The unobservable inputs reflect our assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use.

Assets by Hierarchy Level

The table below sets forth our financial assets and liabilities (in thousands) that required disclosure of fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2021. The table presents the carrying values and fair values of our financial instruments as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, that were measured using the valuation techniques described above. The table excludes other financial instruments such as other receivables and accounts payable as the carrying values associated with these instruments approximate their fair value since their maturities are less than one year. These are classified as Level 1 in the hierarchy.

We utilize fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures. The following methods and assumptions were used in order to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value:

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

The carrying values of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash approximate their fair market values due to the short-term nature of the instrument. These are classified as Level 1 in the hierarchy.

Marketable Securities

Marketable securities held by us and accounted for under the ASC 321 "Investment Equity Securities" are measured at fair value. Any change in fair value is recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Operations in Remeasurement of marketable securities in accordance with ASU 2016-01 "Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities." The fair value is measured by the quoted unadjusted share price which is readily available in active markets (Level 1).

The change in the marketable securities balance is as follows (in thousands):



	Six Months Ended		Year Ended
	June 30, 2021		December 31, 2020

Dividend reinvestment, net of tax	1,196		1,971

Ending Balance	$	153,049	$	124,725

Installment Notes Receivable on Manufactured Homes

Installment notes receivable on manufactured homes are recorded at fair value and are measured using model-derived indicative pricing using primarily unobservable inputs, inclusive of default rates, interest rates and recovery rates (Level 3). Refer to Note 4, "Notes and Other Receivables," for additional information.

Notes Receivable from Real Estate Developers

Notes receivable from real estate developers are recorded at fair value and are measured using model-derived indicative pricing using primarily unobservable inputs including interest rates and counterparty performance (Level 3). The carrying values of the notes generally approximate their fair market values either due to the nature of the note and / or the note being secured by underlying collateral and / or personal guarantees. Refer to Note 4, "Notes and Other Receivables," for additional information.

Secured Debt

Mortgage term loans - the fair value of mortgage term loans is based on the estimates of management and on rates currently quoted, rates currently prevailing for comparable loans and instruments of comparable maturities (Level 2). Refer to Note 8, "Debt and Line of Credit," for additional information.

Collateralized term loan - the fair value of the debt with variable rates approximates carrying value as the interest rates of these amounts approximate market rates. The estimated fair value of our indebtedness as of June 30, 2021 approximated its gross carrying value.

SUN COMMUNITIES, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)

(Unaudited)

Unsecured Debt

Senior unsecured notes - the fair value of senior unsecured notes is based on the estimates of management and on rates currently quoted, rates currently prevailing for comparable loans and instruments of comparable maturities (Level 2). Refer to Note 8, "Debt and Line of Credit," for additional information.

Line of credit and other unsecured debt - consists primarily of our New Credit Facility. We have variable rates on our New Credit Facility. The fair value of the debt with variable rates approximates carrying value as the interest rates of these amounts approximate market rates. The estimated fair value of our indebtedness as of June 30, 2021, approximated its gross carrying value.

Other Financial Liabilities

We estimate the fair value of our contingent consideration liability based on valuation models using significant unobservable inputs that generally consider discounting of future cash flows using market interest rates and adjusting for non-performance risk over the remaining term of the liability (Level 3).

Level 3 Reconciliation, Measurements and Transfers

We review the fair value hierarchy classifications each reporting period. Changes in the observability of the valuation attributes may result in a reclassification of certain financial assets or liabilities. Such reclassifications are reported as transfers in and out of Level 3 at the beginning fair value for the reporting period in which the changes occur. Availability of secondary market activity and consistency of pricing from third-party sources impacts our ability to classify securities as Level 2 or Level 3.

Our assessment resulted in a net transfer into Level 3 of $138.5 million related to installment notes receivable on manufactured homes and notes from real estate developers during the six months ended June 30, 2021.

Inputs that are used to derive the fair value for installment notes receivables on manufactured homes and notes receivable from real estate developers transferred to Level 3 from Level 2 during the quarter ended March 31, 2021 as significant inputs used to value those instruments inclusive of default rates, interest rates, recovery rates, and counterparty performance rely heavily on internally sourced assumptions as opposed to observable market-based inputs.

Although we have determined the estimated fair value amounts using available market information and commonly accepted valuation methodologies, considerable judgement is required in interpreting market data to develop fair value estimates. The fair value estimates are based on information available as of June 30, 2021. As such, our estimates of fair value could differ significantly from the actual carrying value.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, "Reference Rate Reform" (Topic 848) - Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, which provides optional guidance for accounting for contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by the reference rate reform, if certain criteria are met. The provisions of this standard are available for election through December 31, 2022. As of June 30, 2021, we do not expect the reference rate reform will have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements as the majority of our debt is fixed.

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt - "Debt with Conversion and Other Options" (Subtopic 470-20) and "Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity's Own Equity" (Subtopic 815-40): "Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity's Own Equity" ("ASU 2020-06"), which simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity. This ASU (1) simplifies the accounting for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock by removing the existing guidance in ASC 470-20, "Debt: Debt with Conversion and Other Options," which requires entities to account for beneficial conversion features and cash conversion features in equity, separately from the host convertible debt or preferred stock; (2) revises the scope exception from derivative accounting in ASC 815-40 for freestanding financial instruments and embedded features that are both indexed to the issuer's own stock and classified in stockholders' equity, by removing certain criteria required for equity classification; and (3) revises the guidance in ASC 260, "Earnings Per Share," to require entities to calculate diluted earnings per share (EPS) for convertible instruments by using the if-converted method. In addition, entities must presume share settlement for purposes of calculating diluted EPS when an instrument may be settled in cash or shares. ASU 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. We are currently evaluating the impact that ASU 2020-06 may have on our Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosure.

SUN COMMUNITIES, INC.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis of the consolidated financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying Notes, along with our 2020 Annual Report.

OVERVIEW

We are a fully integrated, self-administered and self-managed REIT. As of June 30, 2021, we owned and operated or held an interest in a portfolio of 569 developed properties located in 39 states throughout the U.S. and one province in Canada, including 278 MH communities, 143 RV resorts, 34 properties containing both MH and RV sites, and 114 marinas. We have been in the business of acquiring, operating, developing and expanding MH communities and RV resorts since 1975 and marinas since 2020. We lease individual sites with utilities access for placement of manufactured homes, RVs or boats to our customers. We are also engaged in the marketing, selling and leasing of new and pre-owned homes to current and future residents in our MH communities. The rental program operations within our MH communities support and enhance our occupancy levels, property performance, and cash flows.

COVID-19 IMPACT

As of June 30, 2021, there are no government regulations preventing the operations of any of our MH communities, RV resorts or marinas. The border for recreational travel between the United States and Canada remains closed, which could impact cross border traffic to resorts and marinas across the United States and Canada. The execution of our operational and financial plans has helped to mitigate the impact of COVID-19 on our business.

We continue to provide essential services using social distancing techniques and minimal contact. To promote social distancing, we are encouraging our residents to use our online rent payment portals and other payment methods. We continue to implement numerous health and safety measures at our communities and our main office to keep team members safe. These measures include increased cleaning and sanitation of shared spaces and social distancing protocols throughout our footprint. We closely monitor and track orders by federal, state and local authorities and hold regular status calls with our operations and main office leadership teams. We have implemented and continue to encourage remote working arrangements, wherever possible, to keep our team members safe and to do our part to promote social distancing.

We remain committed to assisting individuals who are in the process of leasing a site, a wet slip, a dry storage space, or purchasing a home, while maintaining health and safety protocols including following strict social distancing. Virtual viewings of homes are being utilized to avoid or minimize contact.

The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts our operations, financial condition and financial results will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, including the scope, severity and duration of the pandemic, the actions taken to contain the pandemic or mitigate its impact, and the direct and indirect economic effects of the pandemic and containment measures, among others. The uncertainty of this situation precludes any prediction as to the full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

We have identified significant accounting policies that, as a result of the judgments, uncertainties and complexities of the underlying accounting standards and operations involved could result in material changes to our financial condition or results of operations under different conditions or using different assumptions. Details regarding significant accounting policies are described fully in our 2020 Annual Report.

SUN COMMUNITIES, INC.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

In addition to the results reported in accordance with GAAP in our "Results of Operations" below, we have provided information regarding net operating income ("NOI") and funds from operations ("FFO") as supplemental performance measures. We believe NOI and FFO are appropriate measures given their wide use by and relevance to investors and analysts following the real estate industry. NOI provides a measure of rental operations and does not factor in depreciation, amortization and non-property specific expenses such as general and administrative expenses. FFO, reflecting the assumption that real estate values rise or fall with market conditions, principally adjusts for the effects of GAAP depreciation / amortization of real estate assets. In addition, NOI and FFO are commonly used in various ratios, pricing multiples / yields and returns and valuation calculations used to measure financial position, performance and value.

NOI is derived from operating revenues minus property operating expenses and real estate taxes. NOI is a non-GAAP financial measure that we believe is helpful to investors as a supplemental measure of operating performance because it is an indicator of the return on property investment and provides a method of comparing property performance over time. We use NOI as a key measure when evaluating performance and growth of particular properties and / or groups of properties. The principal limitation of NOI is that it excludes depreciation, amortization, interest expense and non-property specific expenses such as general and administrative expenses, all of which are significant costs. Therefore, NOI is a measure of the operating performance of our properties rather than of the Company overall.

We believe that GAAP net income (loss) is the most directly comparable measure to NOI. NOI should not be considered to be an alternative to GAAP net income (loss) as an indication of our financial performance or GAAP cash flow from operating activities as a measure of our liquidity; nor is it indicative of funds available for our cash needs, including our ability to make cash distributions. Because of the inclusion of items such as interest, depreciation and amortization, the use of GAAP net income (loss) as a performance measure is limited as these items may not accurately reflect the actual change in market value of a property, in the case of depreciation and in the case of interest, may not necessarily be linked to the operating performance of a real estate asset, as it is often incurred at a parent company level and not at a property level.

FFO is defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") as GAAP net income (loss), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of depreciable operating property, plus real estate related depreciation and amortization, real estate related impairments, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. FFO is a non-GAAP financial measure that management believes is a useful supplemental measure of our operating performance. By excluding gains and losses related to sales of previously depreciated operating real estate assets, impairment and excluding real estate asset depreciation and amortization (which can vary among owners of identical assets in similar condition based on historical cost accounting and useful life estimates), FFO provides a performance measure that, when compared period-over-period, reflects the impact to operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, and operating costs, providing perspective not readily apparent from GAAP net income (loss). Management believes the use of FFO has been beneficial in improving the understanding of operating results of REITs among the investing public and making comparisons of REIT operating results more meaningful. We also use FFO excluding certain gain and loss items that management considers unrelated to the operational and financial performance of our core business ("Core FFO"). We believe that Core FFO provides enhanced comparability for investor evaluations of period-over-period results.

We believe that GAAP net income (loss) is the most directly comparable measure to FFO. The principal limitation of FFO is that it does not replace GAAP net income (loss) as a performance measure or GAAP cash flow from operations as a liquidity measure. Because FFO excludes significant economic components of GAAP net income (loss) including depreciation and amortization, FFO should be used as a supplement to GAAP net income (loss) and not as an alternative to it. Further, FFO is not intended as a measure of a REIT's ability to meet debt principal repayments and other cash requirements, nor as a measure of working capital. FFO is calculated in accordance with our interpretation of standards established by NAREIT, which may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs that interpret the NAREIT definition differently.

Seasonality of revenue

We evaluate segment operating performance based on NOI. The RV and marina industries are cyclical and seasonal in nature, and the results of operations in any one period may not be indicative of results in future periods.

In the RV market, certain properties maintain higher occupancy during the summer months, while other properties maintain higher occupancy during the winter months. The RV market typically shows a decline in demand over the winter months, yet usually produces higher growth in the spring and summer months due to higher use by vacationers. Real property - transient revenue is included in the RV segment revenue. As of June 30, 2021, we recognized 12.2 percent of the annual expected Real property - transient revenue in the first quarter, 28.1 percent in the second quarter, and expect to recognize 45.8 percent in the third quarter and 13.9 percent in the fourth quarter. Final percentages will not be known and disclosed until year end. Real property - transient revenue was approximately $134.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. In 2020, Real property - transient was recognized 18.8 percent in the first quarter, 15.6 percent in the second quarter, 44.9 percent in the third quarter and 20.7 percent in the fourth quarter.

In the marina market, demand for wet slip storage increases during the summer months as customers contract for the summer boating season, which also drives non-storage revenue streams such as service, fuel and on-premise restaurants or convenience storage. Demand for dry storage increases during the winter season as seasonal weather patterns require boat owners to store their vessels on dry docks and within covered racks. As of June 30, 2021, we recognized 18.9 percent of the expected seasonal Real property revenue in the first quarter, 26.6 percent in the second quarter, and expect to recognize 28.8 percent in the third quarter and 25.7 percent in the fourth quarter. Final percentages will not be known and disclosed until year end.

Real Property Operations - Same Community

A key management tool used when evaluating performance and growth of our properties is a comparison of our Same Communities. The Same Communities data includes all properties which we have owned and operated continuously since January 1, 2020, exclusive of properties recently completed or under construction, and other properties as determined by management. The Same Community data may change from time-to-time depending on acquisitions, dispositions, management discretion, significant transactions or unique situations. In order to evaluate the growth of the Same Communities, management has classified certain items differently than our GAAP statements. The reclassification difference between our GAAP statements and our Same Community portfolio is the reclassification of utility revenues from Real property revenue to operating expenses. A significant portion of our utility charges are re-billed to our residents.

The following tables reflect certain financial and other information for our Same Communities as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 (in thousands, except for statistical information).

The amounts in the table above reflect constant currency for comparative purposes. We have reclassified water and sewer revenues of $16.8 million and $14.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, and $33.2 million and $29.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, to reflect the utility expenses associated with our Same Community portfolio net of recovery.

For the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020:

The Total Same Community $34.5 million, or 21.6 percent, growth in NOI is attributable to the RV segment $27.6 million, or 85.1 percent, increase in NOI and the MH segment $6.9 million, or 5.4 percent, growth in NOI.

The RV segment $27.6 million, or 85.1 percent, increase in NOI is primarily due to an increase in Real property - transient revenue of $29.8 million, or 139.6 percent, when compared to the same period in 2020 which was impacted by the required closure, or delayed opening, of over 40 of our RV resorts due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The MH segment $6.9 million, or 5.4 percent, growth in NOI is primarily due to an increase in Real property (excluding transient) revenue of $7.7 million, or 4.6 percent, when compared to the same period in 2020.

SUN COMMUNITIES, INC.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our principal liquidity demands have historically been, and are expected to continue to be, distributions to our stockholders and the unit holders of the Operating Partnership, capital improvement of properties, the purchase of new and pre-owned homes, property acquisitions, development and expansion of properties, and debt repayment.

Subject to market conditions, we intend to continue to identify opportunities to expand our development pipeline and acquire existing properties. We finance acquisitions through available cash, secured financing, draws on our line of credit, the assumption of existing debt on properties and the issuance of equity securities. We will continue to evaluate acquisition opportunities that meet our criteria. Refer to Note 3, "Real Estate Acquisitions and Dispositions," in the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements for information regarding recent property acquisitions.

We also intend to continue to strengthen our capital and liquidity positions by focusing on our core fundamentals, which are generating positive cash flows from operations, maintaining appropriate debt levels and leverage ratios, and controlling overhead costs. We intend to meet our liquidity requirements through available cash balances, cash flows generated from operations, draws on our line of credit, and the use of debt and equity offerings under our shelf registration statement. Refer to Note 8, "Debt and Line of Credit," and Note 9, "Equity and Temporary Equity," in the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Capital Expenditures - MH, RV and Marinas

Our capital expenditures include expansion sites and development construction costs, lot modifications, recurring capital expenditures and rental home purchases.

Expansion and development activities costs of $90.4 million and $127.1 million, were completed for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Expansion and development expenditures consist primarily of construction costs and costs necessary to complete home and RV site improvements, such as driveways, sidewalks and landscaping at our MH communities and RV resorts.

Lot modification expenditures were $16.9 million and $14.2 million, for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, at our MH and RV properties. These expenditures improve asset quality in our communities and are incurred when an existing home is removed and the site is prepared for a new home (more often than not, a multi-sectional home). These activities, which are mandated by strict manufacturer's installation requirements and state building codes, include items such as new foundations, driveways and utility upgrades. These expenditures also improve asset quality in our RV resorts and are incurred when site upgrades are performed.

Recurring capital expenditures at our MH and RV properties were $21.7 million and $9.1 million, for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. These expenditures relate to our continued commitment to the upkeep of our MH and RV properties.

Recurring capital expenditures at our marinas were $5.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, and include items such as: dredging, dock repairs and improvements, and equipment maintenance and upgrades.

Growth project expenditures were $36.4 million and $8.0 million, for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Growth projects consist of revenue generating or expense reducing activities at MH communities, RV resorts and marinas. This includes, but is not limited to, utility efficiency and renewable energy projects, site, slip or amenity upgrades such as the addition of a garage, shed or boat lift, and other special capital projects that substantiate an incremental rental increase.

We invest in the acquisition of homes intended for the Rental Program and the purchase of vacation rental homes for rental at our RV resorts. Expenditures for these investments depend upon the condition of the markets for repossessions and new home sales, rental homes, and vacation rental homes. We finance certain of our new home and vacation rental home purchases with a $12.0 million manufactured home floor plan facility. Our ability to purchase homes for sale or rent may be limited by cash received from third-party financing of our home sales, available manufactured home floor plan financing and working capital available on our line of credit.

Cash Flow Activities

Our cash flow activities are summarized as follows (in thousands):


	Six Months Ended
	June 30, 2021		June 30, 2020
Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities	$	470,708	$	302,027
Net Cash Used for Investing Activities	$	(865,486)	$	(368,116)
Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities	$	421,482	$	420,665
Effect of Exchange Rate Changes on Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash	$	267	$	(192)

Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash increased by approximately $27.0 million from $92.6 million as of December 31, 2020, to $119.6 million as of June 30, 2021.

Operating Activities - Net cash provided by operating activities increased by $168.7 million from $302.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 to $470.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021.

Our net cash flows provided by operating activities from continuing operations may be adversely impacted by, among other things: (a) the market and economic conditions in our current markets generally, and specifically in metropolitan areas of our current markets; (b) lower occupancy and rental rates of our properties; (c) increased operating costs, such as wage and benefit costs, insurance premiums, real estate taxes and utilities, that cannot be passed on to our tenants; (d) decreased sales of manufactured homes; (e) current volatility in economic conditions and the financial markets; and (f) the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. See "Risk Factors" in Part I, Item 1A of our 2020 Annual Report.

Investing Activities - Net cash used for investing activities was $865.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $368.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. Refer to Note 3, "Real Estate Acquisitions and Dispositions," in our accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Financing Activities - Net cash provided by financing activities was $421.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $420.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. Refer to Note 8, "Debt and Line of Credit," and Note 9, "Equity and Temporary Equity," in our accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Financial Flexibility

In March 2020, the SEC adopted amendments to Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X and created Rule 13-01 to simplify disclosure requirements related to certain registered securities. The rule became effective January 4, 2021. In April 2021, we filed a new universal shelf registration statement on Form S-3 with the SEC registering, among other securities, debt securities of the Operating Partnership, which will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed by us.

Public Equity Offerings

On March 2, 2021, we priced a $1.1 billion underwritten public offering of an aggregate of 8,050,000 shares at a public offering price of $140.00 per share, before underwriting discounts and commissions. The offering consisted of 4,000,000 shares offered directly by us and 4,050,000 shares offered under a forward equity sales agreement (the "March 2021 Forward Equity Offering"). We sold the 4,000,000 shares on March 9, 2021 and received net proceeds of $537.6 million. In May and June 2021, we completed the physical settlement of the remaining 4,050,000 shares and received net proceeds of $539.7 million after deducting expenses related to the offering. Proceeds from the offering were used to acquire assets and pay down the Safe Harbor Facility.

On September 30, 2020 and October 1, 2020, we entered into two forward sale agreements (the "September 2020 Forward Equity Offerings") relating to an underwritten registered public offering of 9,200,000 shares of our common stock at a public offering price of $139.50 per share. The offering closed on October 5, 2020. On October 26, 2020, we physically settled the September 2020 Forward Equity Offerings (by the delivery of shares of our common stock). Proceeds from the offering were approximately $1.23 billion after deducting expenses related to the offering. We used the net proceeds of this offering to fund the cash portion of the acquisition of the Safe Harbor purchase price, and for working capital and general corporate purposes.

SUN COMMUNITIES, INC.

At the Market Offering Sales Agreements

On June 4, 2021, we entered into the Sales Agreement with certain sales agents, and forward sellers pursuant to which we may sell, from time to time, up to an aggregate gross sales price of $500.0 million of our common stock, through the sales agents, acting as our sales agents or, if applicable, as forward sellers, or directly to the sales agents as principals for their own accounts. The sales agents and forward sellers are entitled to compensation in an agreed amount not to exceed 2.0 percent of the gross price per share for any shares sold under the Sales Agreement. There were no issuances of common stock under the new Sales Agreement during the six months ended June 30, 2021.

Upon entering into the Sales Agreement, we simultaneously terminated our previous At the Market Offering Sales Agreement entered into in July 2017. There were no issuances of common stock under the prior sales agreement during the six months ended June 30, 2021 or during the year ended December 31, 2020. Through June 4, 2021, we sold shares of our common stock for gross proceeds of $163.8 million under the prior sales agreement.

Senior Unsecured Notes

In June 2021, we received investment grade ratings of BBB and Baa3 with a stable outlook from S&P Global and Moody's, respectively. Our credit ratings are based on our operating performance, liquidity and leverage ratios, overall financial position and other factors employed by the credit rating agencies in their rating analysis of us, and, although it is our intent to maintain our investment grade credit ratings, there can be no assurance that we will be able to maintain our current credit ratings. In the event our current credit ratings are downgraded, it may become difficult or more expensive to obtain additional financing or refinance existing indebtedness as maturities become due.

In June 2021, we issued $600.0 million of senior unsecured notes with an interest rate of 2.70 percent and a ten-year term, due 2031 (the "2031 Notes"). The net proceeds from the offering were approximately $592.4 million, after deducting underwriters' discounts and estimated offering expenses. The proceeds were used to pay down borrowings under our line of credit.

The obligations of the Operating Partnership to pay principal, premiums, if any, and interest on the 2031 Notes are guaranteed on a senior basis by Sun Communities, Inc. The guarantee is full and unconditional, and the Operating Partnership is a consolidated subsidiary of the Company. Under Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X, as amended, subsidiary issuers of obligations guaranteed by the parent are not required to provide separate financial statements, provided that the subsidiary obligor is consolidated into the parent company's consolidated financial statements, the parent guarantee is "full and unconditional" and, subject to certain exceptions, the alternative disclosure required by Rule 13-01 is provided, which includes narrative disclosure and summarized financial information. Accordingly, separate consolidated financial statements of the Operating Partnership have not been presented. Furthermore, as permitted under Rule 13-01(a)(4)(vi), we have excluded the summarized financial information for the Operating Partnership as the assets, liabilities and results of operations of the Operating Partnership are not materially different from the corresponding amounts presented in our consolidated financial statements and management believes such summarized financial information would be repetitive and not provide incremental value to investors.

Line of Credit

On June 14, 2021, we entered into a new credit agreement with certain lenders. The New Credit Agreement combined and replaced our prior $750.0 million A&R Facility and the $1.8 billion Safe Harbor Facility which were scheduled to mature on May 21, 2023 and October 11, 2024, respectively. The Safe Harbor Facility was terminated in connection with the execution of the New Credit Agreement. We repaid all amounts due and outstanding under the Safe Harbor Facility on or prior to such effective date. We recognized a Loss on extinguishment of debt in our Consolidated Statement of Operations related to the termination of the A&R Facility and Safe Harbor facility of $0.2 million and $7.9 million, respectively.

Pursuant to the New Credit Agreement, we may borrow up to $2.0 billion under the New Credit Facility. The New Credit Facility is available to fund all of the Company's business, including its marina business conducted by Safe Harbor. The New Credit Agreement also permits, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, additional borrowings (with the consent of the lenders) in an amount not to exceed $1.0 billion with the option to treat all, or a portion, of such additional funds as an incremental term loan.

SUN COMMUNITIES, INC.

Pursuant to the terms of the New Credit Facility, we are subject to various financial and other covenants. The most restrictive financial covenants for the New Credit Facility are as follows:

Covenant

Requirement

As of June 30, 2021

Maximum leverage ratio

<65.0%

24.2%

Minimum fixed charge coverage ratio

>1.40

3.84

Maximum dividend payout ratio

<95.0%

51.9%

Maximum secured leverage ratio

<40.0%

17.4%

In addition, we are required to maintain the following covenant with respect to the senior unsecured notes payable:

Covenant

Requirement

As of June 30, 2021

Total debt to total assets

≤ 60.0%

32.7%

Secured debt to total assets

≤ 40.0%

26.2%

Consolidated income available for debt service to debt service

≥ 1.50

5.90

Unencumbered total asset value to total unsecured debt

≥ 150.0%

934.3%

As of June 30, 2021, we were in compliance with the above covenants and do not anticipate that we will be unable to meet these covenants in the near term.

We anticipate meeting our long-term liquidity requirements, such as scheduled debt maturities, large property acquisitions, expansion and development of properties, other nonrecurring capital improvements and Operating Partnership unit redemptions through the long-term unsecured and secured indebtedness and the issuance of certain debt or equity securities subject to market conditions.

We had unrestricted cash on hand as of June 30, 2021 of approximately $103.5 million. As of June 30, 2021, there was approximately $1.8 billion of remaining capacity on the New Credit Facility. At June 30, 2021 we had a total of 346 unencumbered MH, RV and Marina properties.

SUN COMMUNITIES, INC.

From time to time, we may also issue shares of our capital stock, issue equity units in our Operating Partnership, issue unsecured notes, obtain other debt financing or sell selected assets. Our ability to finance our long-term liquidity requirements in such a manner will be affected by numerous economic factors affecting the MH, RV and marina industries at the time, including the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, the availability and cost of mortgage debt, our financial condition, the operating history of the properties, the state of the debt and equity markets, and the general national, regional and local economic conditions. When it becomes necessary for us to approach the credit markets, the volatility in those markets could make borrowing more difficult to secure, more expensive, or effectively unavailable. See "Risk Factors" in Part I, Item 1A of our 2020 Annual Report and in Part II, Item 1A of this report. If we are unable to obtain additional debt or equity financing on acceptable terms, our business, results of operations and financial condition would be adversely impacted.

As of June 30, 2021, our net debt to enterprise value was approximately 16.8 percent (assuming conversion of all common OP units, Series A-1 preferred OP units, Series A-3 preferred OP units, Series C preferred OP units, Series D preferred OP units, Series E preferred OP units, Series F preferred OP units, Series G preferred OP units, Series H preferred OP units, Series I preferred OP units, and Series J preferred OP units to shares of common stock). Our debt has a weighted average maturity of approximately 10.4 years and a weighted average interest rate of 3.5 percent.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Our off-balance sheet investments include nonconsolidated affiliates. These investments all have varying ownership structures. Substantially all of our nonconsolidated affiliates are accounted for under the equity method of accounting as we have the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control, over the operating and financial decisions of these joint venture arrangements. Refer to Note 6, "Investment in Nonconsolidated Affiliates," and Note 8, "Debt and Line of Credit," in the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements, for additional information on our off-balance sheet investments.

Nonconsolidated Affiliate Indebtedness

GTSC - During September 2019, GTSC entered into a warehouse line of credit with a maximum loan amount of $125.0 million. During September 2020 and May 2021, the maximum amount was increased to $180.0 million and $230.0 million, respectively with an option to increase to $255.0 million subject to the lender's consent. As of June 30, 2021, the aggregate carrying amount of debt, including both our and our partner's share, incurred by GTSC was $201.9 million (of which our proportionate share is $80.8 million). The debt bears interest at a variable rate based on LIBOR plus 1.65 percent per annum and matures on September 15, 2023. Refer to Note 6, "Investment in Nonconsolidated Affiliates," in the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on our nonconsolidated affiliates.

Sungenia JV - During May 2020, Sungenia JV entered into a debt facility agreement with a maximum loan amount of 27.0 million Australian dollars, or $20.3 million converted at the June 30, 2021 exchange rate. As of June 30, 2021, the aggregate carrying amount of debt, including both our and our partners' share, incurred by Sungenia JV was $6.5 million (of which our proportionate share is $3.2 million). The debt bears interest at a variable rate based on Australian BBSY plus 2.05 percent per annum and is available for a minimum of three years. Refer to Note 6, "Investment in Nonconsolidated Affiliates," in the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on our nonconsolidated affiliates.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Market risk is the exposure to loss resulting from changes in market factors such as interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices and equity prices.

Interest Rate Risk

Our principal market risk exposure is interest rate risk. We mitigate this risk by maintaining prudent amounts of leverage, minimizing capital costs, and interest expense while continuously evaluating all available debt and equity resources and following established risk management policies and procedures, which include the periodic use of derivatives. Our primary strategy in entering into derivative contracts is to minimize the variability that interest rate changes could have on our future cash flows. From time to time, we employ derivative instruments that effectively convert a portion of our variable rate debt to fixed rate debt. We do not enter into derivative instruments for speculative purposes.

Our variable rate debt totaled $231.5 million and $115.4 million as of June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and bears interest at Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate or BBSY rate, plus a margin, and Prime or various LIBOR rates, respectively. If Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate or BBSY rate, and Prime or LIBOR rates increased or decreased by 1.0 percent, our interest expense would have increased or decreased by approximately $5.8 million and $1.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, based on the $1.2 billion and $306.3 million average balances outstanding under our variable rate debt facilities, respectively.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

Foreign currency exchange rate risk is the risk that fluctuations in currencies against the U.S. dollar will negatively impact our results of operations. We are exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risk as a result of remeasurement and translation of the assets and liabilities of our Canadian properties, and our Australian equity investment and joint venture into U.S. dollars. Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates can therefore create volatility in our results of operations and may adversely affect our financial condition.

At June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, our stockholder's equity included $282.1 million and $250.8 million from our Canadian subsidiaries and Australian equity investments, respectively, which represented 4.2 percent and 4.5 percent of total stockholder's equity, respectively. Based on our sensitivity analysis, a 10.0 percent strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the Canadian and Australian dollar would have caused a reduction of $28.2 million and $25.1 million to our total stockholder's equity at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

Capital Market Risk

We are exposed to risks related to the equity capital markets, and our related ability to raise capital through the issuance of our common stock or other equity instruments. We are also exposed to risks related to the debt capital markets, and our related ability to finance our business through borrowings under other financing arrangements. As a REIT, we are required to distribute a significant portion of our taxable income annually, which constrains our ability to accumulate operating cash flow and therefore requires us to utilize debt or equity capital to finance our business. We seek to mitigate these risks by monitoring the debt and equity capital markets to inform our decisions on the amount, timing, and terms of capital we raise.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the specified time periods and accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Our management, with the participation of our CEO and CFO, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (pursuant to Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) at June 30, 2021. Based upon this evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2021.

In October 2020, we completed the acquisition of Safe Harbor and are currently integrating Safe Harbor into our operations, compliance program and internal control processes. Safe Harbor constituted approximately 23 percent of our total assets as of December 31, 2020, including the goodwill and other intangible assets recorded as part of the purchase price allocation, and three percent of our revenues for the year ended December 31, 2020. SEC regulations allow companies to exclude acquisitions from their assessment of internal control over financial reporting during the first year following an acquisition. We have excluded the acquired operation of Safe Harbor from our assessment of our internal control over financial reporting for the six months ended June 30, 2021. As of June 30, 2021, Safe Harbor represented approximately 26 percent of our total assets and 24 percent of our revenues for the quarter ending June 30, 2021.

Changes in internal control over financial reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended June 30, 2021 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the risk factors described in Part 1, Item 1A., "Risk Factors," in our 2020 Annual Report, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

Holders of our OP units have converted the following units during the three months ended June 30, 2021:
