(2) In conjunction with the acquisition, the Operating Partnership issued 31,289 common OP units valued at $4.4 million.

(3) In conjunction with the acquisition, the Operating Partnership issued one million Series K preferred OP units valued at $100.6 million.

As of September 30, 2023, we have incurred and capitalized $3.1 million of transaction costs, which have been allocated among various fixed asset categories for purchases that meet the asset acquisition criteria. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we recognized $3.0 million of business combination expenses in connection with transactions completed during 2022.

2023 Development and Expansion Activities

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we acquired four land parcels located in the United States ("U.S.") and United Kingdom ("UK") for an aggregate purchase price of $35.4 million.

2023 Dispositions

In August 2023, we sold one MH community located in Maine with 155 developed sites at its net carrying value for cash consideration of $6.8 million. The property was previously classified as held for sale during the three months ended June 30, 2023, with its net carrying value of $13.1 million written down by $6.3 million within Asset impairments on our Consolidated Statements of Operations, to a fair value less cost to sell of $6.8 million.

In February 2023, we sold two parcels of land in the UK for total consideration of $111.5 million, which primarily consisted of $108.8 million in the form of an operator note receivable that was added to an existing facility with a weighted average interest rate of 11.9% per annum, due May 31, 2023 and subsequently extended to July 31, 2023 as part of the operator's total facility. On the date of sale, the carrying value of the note receivable approximated its fair value due to its short term nature. The dispositions resulted in a loss on sale totaling $2.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, net of the release of foreign currency translation losses from Accumulated other comprehensive income / (loss) ("AOCI") of $11.9 million. The total loss on sale was recorded in Gain / (loss) on dispositions of properties on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Refer to Note 4, "Notes and Other Receivables," for additional information on the notes receivable.

Real Estate Held For Sale

We periodically classify real estate as "held for sale" after an active program to sell an asset has commenced and when the sale is probable. Subsequent to the classification of assets as held for sale, no further depreciation expense is recorded.

In February 2023, the criteria was met to classify Sandy Bay, an operating MH community in the UK, with 730 developed sites, as held for sale. Previously, this property had been under contract. At September 30, 2023, the sale contract is no longer in effect. However, the criteria for classification as held for sale were still met. Accordingly, the property remained classified as held for sale at September 30, 2023, with a carrying value of total assets of $259.1 million and total liabilities of $63.1 million. The held for sale assets primarily consist of Land and Land improvements and buildings and are recorded within Other assets, net on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The held for sale liabilities primarily consist of Deferred tax liabilities and are recorded within Other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

(Unaudited)

Installment Notes Receivable on Manufactured Homes

Installment notes receivable are measured at fair value, using indicative pricing models from third party valuation specialists, in accordance with ASC Topic 820, "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures." The balances of installment notes receivable of $56.0 million (gross installment notes receivable of $60.5 million less fair value adjustment of $4.5 million) and $65.9 million (gross installment notes receivable of $67.3 million less fair value adjustment of $1.4 million) as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, are secured by manufactured homes. The notes represent financing to purchasers of manufactured homes located in our communities and require monthly principal and interest payments. The notes had a net weighted average interest rate (net of servicing costs) and maturity of 7.5% and 13.1 years as of September 30, 2023, and 7.6% and 13.8 years as of December 31, 2022, respectively. Refer to Note 15, "Fair Value of Financial Instruments," for additional details.

Notes Receivable from Real Estate Developers and Operators

Notes receivable from real estate developers and operators are measured at fair value, using indicative pricing models from third party valuation specialists, in accordance with ASC Topic 820, "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures."

As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the notes receivable balances include a fully drawn loan provided to Royale Holdings Group HoldCo Limited, a real estate development owner and operator in the UK, and certain other parties, to fund investing and financing activities totaling $361.1 million and $217.6 million, respectively (the "Note"). At December 31, 2022, the Note had a net weighted average interest rate of 15.3% and maturity of 0.1 years. At September 30, 2023, the Note had a net weighted average interest rate of 12.4%. The Note matured on July 31, 2023, and remained due at September 30, 2023.

At September 30, 2023, the Note was collateralized by a first-priority security interest in three real estate properties and three MH manufacturers in the UK. The real estate collateral consists of MH development properties that comprised a significant majority of the total appraised value of all collateral securing the Note at September 30, 2023. Since inception of the Note in December 2021, and on a periodic basis thereafter, we have engaged third party valuation specialists to appraise the collateral in order to assess the fair value of the Note.

On September 29, 2023, we appointed receivers over the real estate collateral and are assessing courses of action with respect to the other collateral. We expect the receivers to start to market the real estate collateral for sale during the fourth quarter of 2023. Upon completion of the marketing process, we may elect to credit bid certain amounts due under the Note for the real estate collateral. If that were to occur and no third-party bid is received that exceeds our credit bid, we may elect to receive the real estate collateral in satisfaction of related amounts due under the Note. If a third-party bid is received that exceeds our bid, we will receive the cash proceeds of that bid up to the outstanding loan amount including interest, fees and penalties, as applicable.

Other acquisition and construction loans provided to real estate developers total $116.4 million with a net weighted average interest rate and maturity of 9.2% and 2.6 years as of September 30, 2023, and total $87.6 million with a net weighted average interest rate and maturity of 7.8% and 2.3 years as of December 31, 2022. As of September 30, 2023, the additional acquisition and construction loans provided to real estate developers have $44.5 million of undrawn funds.

There were no adjustments to the fair value of notes receivable from real estate developers and operators during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and year ended December 31, 2022. Refer to Note 15, "Fair Value of Financial Instruments," for additional information.

Our intangible assets include goodwill, in-place leases, non-competition agreements, trademarks and trade names, customer relationships, franchise agreements and other intangible assets. These intangible assets are recorded in Goodwill and Other intangible assets, net on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Goodwill

The measurement periods for the valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination end as soon as information on the facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition dates becomes available but do not exceed 12 months. Adjustments in purchase price allocations may require a change in the amounts allocated to goodwill during the periods in which the adjustments are determined. These purchase accounting adjustments are presented under Other in the table below. Changes in the carrying amount of goodwill during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 by reportable segment were as follows (in millions):


Goodwill by Segment	December 31, 2022		Currency Translation Adjustment		Other(1)		September 30, 2023

7. Consolidated Variable Interest Entities

The Operating Partnership

We consolidate the Operating Partnership under the guidance set forth in ASC 810, "Consolidation." We evaluated whether the Operating Partnership met the criteria for classification as a variable interest entity ("VIE") or, alternatively, as a voting interest entity and concluded that the Operating Partnership met the criteria of a VIE. Our 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.

We concluded that each entity is a VIE where we are the primary beneficiary, as we have the power to direct the significant activities of and absorb the significant losses and receive the significant benefits from each entity. Refer to Note 8, "Debt and Line of Credit," and Note 9, "Equity and Temporary Equity," for additional information on Sun NG Resorts.

(1) In January 2023, the Operating Partnership issued $400.0 million of senior unsecured notes with an interest rate of 5.7% and a 10-year term, due January 15, 2033 (the "2033 Notes"). Interest on the notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on January 15 and July 15 of each year, beginning on July 15, 2023. The net proceeds from the offering were $395.3 million, after deducting underwriters' discounts and estimated offering expenses. We used the net proceeds from the offering to repay borrowings outstanding under our Senior Credit Facility.

Line of Credit

In April 2022, the Operating Partnership (as borrower), SUI (as guarantor), and certain lenders entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and Other Loan Documents (the "Credit Facility Amendment"), which amended our senior credit facility (the "Senior Credit Facility").

The Credit Facility Amendment increased the aggregate amount of our Senior Credit Facility to $4.2 billion with the ability to upsize the total borrowings by an additional $800.0 million, subject to certain conditions. The increased aggregate amount under the Senior Credit Facility consists of the following: (a) a revolving loan in an amount up to $3.05 billion and (b) a term loan facility of $1.15 billion, with the ability to draw funds from the combined facilities in U.S. dollars, Pound sterling, Euros, Canadian dollars and Australian dollars, subject to certain limitations. The Credit Facility Amendment extended the maturity date of the revolving loan facility to April 7, 2026. At our option that maturity date may be extended two additional six-month periods. In addition, the Credit Facility Amendment established the maturity date of the term loan facility under the Credit Facility Amendment as April 7, 2025, which may not be further extended.

SUN COMMUNITIES, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)

(Unaudited)

The Senior Credit Facility bears interest at a floating rate based on the Adjusted Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"), the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate, the Australian Bank Bill Swap Bid Rate ("BBSY"), the Daily Sterling Overnight Index Average ("SONIA") Rate or the Canadian Dollar Offered Rate, as applicable, plus a margin, in all cases, which can range from 0.725% to 1.6%, subject to certain adjustments. As of September 30, 2023, the margins based on our credit ratings were 0.85% on the revolving loan facility and 0.95% on the term loan facility. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and year ended December 31, 2022, we achieved sustainability related requirements resulting in a favorable 0.04% and 0.01% adjustments, respectively, to both margins.

At the lenders' option, the Senior Credit Facility will become immediately due and payable upon an event of default under the Credit Facility Amendment. We had $1.0 billion and $1.1 billion of borrowings outstanding under the revolving loan as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. We also had $1.1 billion of borrowings outstanding under the term loan on the Senior Credit Facility as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. These balances are recorded in Unsecured debt on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The Senior 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 Senior Credit Facility, but does reduce the borrowing amount available. We had $16.7 million and $2.6 million of outstanding letters of credit at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

Unsecured Term Loan

In October 2019, we assumed a $58.0 million secured term loan facility related to an acquisition. The term loan initially had a four-year term ending October 29, 2023, and bore interest at a floating rate based on the Eurodollar rate or Prime rate plus a margin ranging from 1.2% to 2.05%. Effective July 1, 2021, we amended the agreement to release the associated collateral, extend the term loan facility maturity date to October 29, 2025 and adjust the interest rate margin to a range from 0.8% to 1.6%. In August 2022, we amended the secured term loan facility to transition from the Eurodollar rate to SOFR. As of September 30, 2023, the margin based on our credit rating was 0.95%. The outstanding balance was $9.2 million at September 30, 2023 and $19.8 million at December 31, 2022, respectively. In accordance with the amended agreement, we achieved sustainability related requirements resulting in a favorable 0.01% adjustment to the margins. These balances are recorded in Unsecured debt on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Preferred Equity - Sun NG Resorts - Mandatorily Redeemable

In connection with the investment in Sun NG Resorts in June 2018, unrelated third parties purchased $35.3 million of mandatorily redeemable Preferred Equity ("Preferred Equity - Sun NG Resorts") that carries a preferred rate of return of 6.0% per annum and has a seven-year term ending June 1, 2025. If we terminate the property management agreement related to the property, we must acquire NG Sun LLC's interest in such property, which, in addition to its Series B preferred equity interests and common equity interests allocated to such property, may include its and certain unrelated third parties' Preferred Equity - Sun NG Resorts allocated to such property.

As of September 30, 2023, 314,934 of Aspen preferred OP units were outstanding and convertible into 104,544 common OP units.

In January 2020, we amended the Operating Partnership's partnership agreement to extend the automatic redemption date and reduce the annual distribution rate for 270,000 of the Aspen preferred OP units (the "Extended Units"). The Extended Units redemption date was extended to January 1, 2034, and their distribution rate was lowered to 3.8%. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, all of the Extended Units, representing $7.3 million of unsecured debt, converted into common equity.

(1) Equity Interest - NG Sun LLC - In June 2018, in connection with the investment in Sun NG Resorts, unrelated third parties purchased $6.5 million of Series B preferred equity interests and $15.4 million of common equity interests in Sun NG Resorts (herein jointly referred to as "Equity Interest - NG Sun LLC"). In April and September 2020, in connection with certain acquisitions, $3.0 million of Series B preferred equity interests were converted to common equity interests. The Series B preferred equity interests carry a preferred return at a rate that, at any time, is equal to the interest rate on Sun NG Resorts' indebtedness at such time. The current rate of return is 5.0%. The Equity Interest - NG Sun LLC does not have a fixed maturity date and portions can be redeemed in the fourth quarters of 2024, 2025 or 2026 at the holders' option.

During the fourth quarter of 2024, NG Sun LLC may offer Sun NG LLC to purchase its entire interest in Sun NG Resorts, which includes its Equity Interest - NG Sun LLC and may include certain unrelated third parties' Preferred Equity - Sun NG Resorts. If we exercise this option, the related property management agreements will be terminated, and we are required to purchase the interests of NG Sun LLC and the property management agreements at fair value. If we elect not to purchase NG Sun LLC's interest in Sun NG Resorts, we must cause a sale of Sun NG Resorts. If such sale does not close within 90 days and NG Sun LLC does not agree to extend such period, then we are obligated to purchase NG Sun LLC's interest in Sun NG Resorts. Certain properties would be excluded from this process and would instead be transferred to new limited liability companies held jointly by NG Sun LLC and us.

In December 2021, the operating agreement was amended and we paid Sun NG Resorts a contingent consideration earnout in the amount of $38.3 million. The contingent consideration payment was recognized as an additional purchase price payment within Land improvements and buildings in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, and within Acquisition of properties, net of cash acquired in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. The Equity Interest - NG Sun LLC balance was $34.1 million and $31.1 million as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Refer to Note 7, "Consolidated Variable Interest Entities," and Note 8, "Debt and Line of Credit," for additional information.

Permanent Equity

Universal Shelf Registration Statement

In April 2021, we filed a new universal shelf registration statement on Form S-3 with the SEC.

Public Equity Offerings

In November 2021, we entered into two forward sale agreements relating to an underwritten registered public offering of 4,025,000 shares of our common stock at a public offering price of $185.00 per share and completed the offering on November 18, 2021 (the "November 2021 Forward Sale Agreements"). We did not initially receive any proceeds from the sale of shares of our common stock by the forward purchaser or its affiliates. In April 2022, we completed the physical settlement of the 4,025,000 shares of common stock and received aggregate net proceeds of $705.4 million.

At the Market Offering Sales Agreement

In December 2021, we entered into an At the Market Offering 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 $1.25 billion of our common stock (the "Sales Agreement"), 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% of the gross price per share for any shares sold under the Sales Agreement. We simultaneously terminated our prior sales agreement upon entering into the Sales Agreement. Through September 30, 2023, we had entered into forward sales agreements under our Sales Agreement for an aggregate gross sales price of $160.6 million.

During the three months ended September 30, 2022, we entered into forward sale agreements with respect to 15,000 shares of common stock under our Sales Agreement for $2.6 million. Additionally, we settled all of our outstanding forward sale agreements with respect to 1,526,212 shares of common stock which includes 620,109; 600,503; 290,600; and 15,000 shares of common stock from the three months ended December 31, 2021, March 31, June 30 and September 30, 2022 forward sale agreements, respectively. The net proceeds of $275.5 million from the settlement of these forward sale agreements were used to repay borrowings outstanding under our Senior Credit Facility.

During the three months ended June 30, 2022, we completed the physical settlement of 1,200,000 shares of common stock under our prior at the market offering program and received net proceeds of $229.5 million.

These forward sale agreements were settled during the three months ended September 30, 2022.

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we entered into forward sales agreements with respect to 600,503 shares of common stock for $107.9 million, under our Sales Agreement. These forward sale agreements were settled during the three months ended September 30, 2022.

During the year ended December 31, 2021, we entered into forward sale agreements with respect to 1,820,109 shares of common stock under our prior at the market offering program for $356.5 million.

10. Share-Based Compensation

As of September 30, 2023, we had two share-based compensation plans: the Sun Communities, Inc. first amended 2015 Equity Incentive Plan (as amended, the "2015 Equity Incentive Plan") and the First Amended and Restated 2004 Non-Employee Director Option Plan (as amended, the "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. Time based awards for directors generally vest over three years. Time based awards for key employees and executives generally vest over five years. Market condition awards for executives generally vest after three years.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, shares were granted as follows:


Grant Period	Type	Plan	Shares Granted	Grant Date Fair Value Per Share			Vesting Type

11. Segment Reporting

ASC Topic 280, "Segment Reporting," establishes standards for the way that business enterprises report information about operating segments in its financial statements. As described in Note 1, "Basis of Presentation," we analyze our operating results through the following segments: (i) Manufactured home ("MH") communities, (ii) Recreational vehicle ("RV") communities and (iii) Marina. We evaluate segment operating performance based on NOI.

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

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

The Marina segment owns, operates and develops marinas, and is in the business of acquiring and operating marinas in the U.S., with the majority of such marinas concentrated in coastal regions, and others located in various inland regions.

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% of our gross income in any year must be derived from qualifying sources. In addition, a REIT must distribute annually at least 90% of its REIT taxable income (calculated without any deduction for dividends paid and excluding capital gains) to its shareholders 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 during the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

As a REIT, we generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income taxes at the corporate level on the ordinary taxable income we distribute to our shareholders 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, Puerto Rico and the UK due to certain properties located in those jurisdictions. 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. As currently structured, we are not subject to UK withholding taxes on distributions from our UK properties.

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, depreciation, interest and basis differences between tax and GAAP. Our deferred tax assets that have a full valuation allowance relate to our taxable REIT subsidiaries. As of September 30, 2023, we had $215.8 million of net deferred tax liabilities, comprised of deferred tax assets, net of valuation allowance of $46.4 million, and deferred tax liabilities of $262.2 million. Additionally, we have $58.1 million of deferred tax liabilities that have been reclassified as real estate held for sale. Refer to Note 3, "Real Estate Acquisitions and Dispositions," for additional information. The deferred tax liability balance is comprised primarily of basis differences in our foreign investment in properties in the UK and Canada. As of December 31, 2022, we had $308.6 million of net deferred tax liabilities, comprised of deferred tax assets, net of valuation allowance of $32.2 million, and deferred tax liabilities of $340.8 million. The net deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are recorded within Other assets and Other liabilities, respectively, on our Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

We had no unrecognized tax benefits as of September 30, 2023 and 2022. We do not expect significant changes in tax positions that would result in unrecognized tax benefits within one year of September 30, 2023.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, we recorded current tax expense for federal, state, Canadian, Puerto Rican, and UK income taxes and Australian withholding taxes totaling $4.6 million and $13.9 million, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we recorded current tax expense for federal, state, Canadian, Puerto Rican, and UK income taxes and Australian withholding taxes totaling $7.3 million and $12.5 million, respectively.

13. Earnings Per Share

Earnings per share ("EPS") 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 EPS using the more dilutive of the treasury stock method and the two-class method for stock option and restricted common shares, the treasury stock method for forward equity sales and the if converted method for convertible units.

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 unless there is a physical settlement. Common shares issued upon the physical settlement of the forward equity sales agreements, weighted for the period these common shares are outstanding, are 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 in accordance with the treasury stock method.

Our potentially dilutive securities include our 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 J preferred OP units, Series K preferred OP units and Aspen preferred OP Units, which, if converted or exercised, may impact dilution.

Diluted EPS considers the impact of potentially dilutive securities except when the potential common shares have an anti-dilutive effect. Our unvested restricted stock common shares contain rights to receive non-forfeitable distributions and participate equally with common stock with respect to distributions issued or declared, and thus, are participating securities, requiring the two-class method of computing EPS. 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 two-class method determines EPS by (1) dividing the sum of distributed earnings allocated to common shareholders and undistributed earnings allocated to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period; and (2) dividing the sum of distributed earnings allocated to participating securities and undistributed earnings allocated to participating securities by the weighted average number of shares of participating securities for the period. The remaining potential dilutive common shares do not contain rights to distributions and are included in the computation of diluted EPS.

14. Derivative Financial Instruments

Our objective and strategy in using interest rate derivatives is to manage exposure to interest rate movements, thereby minimizing the effect of interest rate changes and the effect they could have on future cash outflows (forecasted interest payments), on a forecasted issuance of long-term debt, or on outstanding floating rate debt. We typically enter into treasury locks and interest rate swaps to accomplish this objective. We do not enter into derivative instruments for speculative purposes. We recognize derivative instruments at fair value on a recurring basis on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and classify the derivatives within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. We adjust our Consolidated Balance Sheets on a quarterly basis to reflect the current fair market value of the derivative instruments.

As of September 30, 2023, we held six interest rate swap contracts, which have each been designated as cash flow hedges under ASC Topic 815, "Derivatives and Hedging." The risks being hedged are the interest rate risk related to outstanding floating rate debt and forecasted debt issuance transactions, and the benchmark interest rates used are the SOFR and the SONIA Rate The unrealized gains or losses on the derivative instruments are recorded in AOCI and are reclassified to Interest expense on the Consolidated Statements of Operations during the same period in which the hedged transaction affects earnings. We estimate that $19.0 million will be reclassified as a reduction to Interest expense over the next 12 months for all of our outstanding cash flow hedges. Cash flow from these derivative instruments is classified in the same category as the cash flow items being hedged on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we entered into one interest rate swap contract to hedge variable rate borrowings of £100.0 million (equivalent to $122.0 million as of September 30, 2023). The interest rate swap locked in a SONIA rate of 3.865% for an all-in rate of 4.808% through the maturity date of April 7, 2025. We also entered into one forward starting interest rate swap contract with an aggregate notional value of $50.0 million to hedge interest rate risk associated with a potential future debt offering.

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, in connection with the 2033 Notes issuance, we terminated two $100.0 million 10-year treasury rate lock contracts and one $50.0 million forward swap totaling $250.0 million and received a net settlement payment of $7.4 million. This lowered the effective interest rate on the 2033 Notes from 5.7% to 5.5%. As of the settlement date, the net accumulated gain included in AOCI is being reclassified into earnings as a reduction to Interest expense on a straight-line basis over the 10-year term of the hedged transaction.

The following table presents the gross fair value amounts of our derivative financial instruments and the associated notional amounts (in millions):


	September 30, 2023						December 31, 2022

15. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Our financial instruments consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, marketable securities, notes and other receivables, derivative assets, debt, warrants 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 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 assumptions. 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.

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 instruments. These are classified as Level 1 in the hierarchy.

Marketable Securities

The fair value of marketable securities is measured by the quoted unadjusted share price which is readily available in active markets (Level 1). The change in the marketable securities balance was as follows (in millions):



	Nine Months Ended		Year Ended
Marketable Securities	September 30, 2023		December 31, 2022

Ending Balance	$	112.8	$	127.3

Refer to Note 19, "Subsequent Events," for activity related to this investment subsequent to September 30, 2023.

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 and Operators

Notes receivable from real estate developers and operators 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 primarily by underlying real estate and other collateral and / or personal guarantees. Refer to Note 4, "Notes and Other Receivables," for additional information.

Derivative Assets and Liabilities - Interest Rate Derivatives

Interest rate derivatives are recorded at fair value and consist of treasury rate lock contracts, interest rate swaps and forward swaps. The fair value of these financial instruments are measured using observable inputs based on the 10-year Treasury note rate, the SOFR and SONIA Rates, respectively (Level 2).

Secured Debt

Secured debt consists primarily of our 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.

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.

SUN COMMUNITIES, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)

(Unaudited)

Line of credit and other unsecured debt - consists primarily of our Senior Credit Facility. We have variable rates on our Senior Credit Facility. The fair value of the debt with variable rates approximates carrying value as the interest rates of these amounts approximate market rates (Level 2). The estimated fair value of our debt as of September 30, 2023 approximated its gross carrying value.

Other Financial Liabilities

We estimate the fair value of contingent consideration liabilities 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. There were no transfers into or out of Level 3 during the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

16. Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Proceedings - Class Action Litigation

Since August 31, 2023, several putative class action complaints have been filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division, against Datacomp Appraisal Systems, Inc., us, and nine other large MH operators in the United States. The complaint alleges that the defendants have violated federal antitrust laws by sharing and receiving competitively sensitive non-public information to maintain artificially high site rents. The plaintiffs have moved to consolidate the complaints into the case captioned Carla Hajek and Gregory Hammerlund v. Datacomp Appraisal Systems, Inc., et al., No. 1:23-cv-6715.

Plaintiffs seek both injunctive and monetary damages, as well as attorneys' fees. We are unable to estimate a range of loss, if any, that could result were there to be an adverse final decision in this litigation. If an unfavorable result were to occur, it is possible that the impact could be material to our results of operations in the periods in which any such outcome becomes probable and estimable.

We believe that the plaintiffs' allegations are without merit and intend to defend against them vigorously. However, litigation is inherently uncertain and there can be no assurance regarding the likelihood that our defense of this litigation will be successful.

We are involved in various other legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. All such proceedings, taken together, are not expected to have a material adverse impact on our results of operations or financial condition.

Catastrophic Event-Related Charges - Hurricane Ian

When Hurricane Ian made landfall on Florida's western coast in September 2022, the storm primarily affected three properties in the Fort Myers area, comprising approximately 2,500 sites. These properties sustained significant flooding and wind damage from the hurricane. At other affected MH and RV properties, most of the damage was limited to trees, roofs, fences, skirting and carports. At affected marina properties, docks, buildings, and landscaping sustained wind and water damage.

We maintain property, casualty, flood and business interruption insurance for our community portfolio, subject to customary deductibles and limits.

Estimated property insurance recoveries, excluding business interruption recoveries, of $52.2 million related to Hurricane Ian were recorded in Notes and other receivables, net on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 30, 2023. The table below sets forth changes estimated property insurance recoveries, excluding business interruption recoveries (in millions):


	Nine Months Ended September 30, 2023
Total estimated insurance receivable - December 31, 2022	$	54.9
Change in estimated property insurance recoveries	40.2
Proceeds received from insurer	(42.9)
Total estimated insurance receivable - September 30, 2023	$	52.2

Changes in estimated property insurance recoveries related to Hurricane Ian during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 were primarily the result of $45.0 million of incremental costs that exceeded the applicable deductible, net of a $4.8 million reduction due to a decrease in the estimated property impairment. The foregoing estimates are based on current information available, and we continue to assess these estimates. Actual charges and insurance recoveries could vary significantly from these estimates. Any changes to these estimates will be recognized in the period(s) in which they are determined.

We are actively working with our insurance providers on claims for business interruption recoveries. During the three months ended September 30, 2023, we received and recognized $12.9 million, net of deductibles, for the lost earnings covering the date of the hurricane event through April 30, 2023. These recoveries were included in Brokerage commissions and other, net on our Consolidated Statements of Operations during the three months ended September 30, 2023. The related communities are under redevelopment. As such, we currently cannot estimate a date when operating results will be restored to pre-hurricane levels. Our business interruption insurance policy provides for up to 60 months of coverage from the date of restoration.

Failed Sale Leaseback

In connection with our acquisition of Park Holidays, we assumed ground lease arrangements for 34 UK properties that we concluded to be failed sale-leaseback transactions under ASC Topic 842, "Leases." The arrangements have maturities ranging from 2117 through 2197 with an option to repurchase for £1.00 at the end of the term. The obligation related to the underlying ground leases has been recorded as a financial liability in Other Liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The financial liability was $344.4 million and $339.7 million as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

18. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recent Accounting Pronouncements - Adopted

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 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 were available for election through December 31, 2022. In December 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-06, "Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) - Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848," which defers the sunset date for Topic 848 from December 31, 2022 to December 31, 2024, after which entities will no longer be permitted to apply the relief in Topic 848. As of September 30, 2023, all of our debt and derivative instruments have been converted from LIBOR to alternative reference rates. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements as the majority of our debt has fixed interest rates.

19. Subsequent Events

Marketable Securities

In October 2023, we sold our 41.8 million share position in Ingenia Communities Group (ASX: INA), generating $102.5 million of proceeds, net of underwriting and other estimated fees, with an estimated realized loss of $9.0 million. The proceeds were used to pay down amounts drawn under our Senior Credit Facility.

Derivatives

In October 2023, we entered into an interest rate swap contract to hedge variable rate borrowings of $25.0 million under the term loan of the Senior Credit Facility. The interest rate swap locks in a weighted average SOFR rate of 4.684%, and inclusive of spread, an all-in rate of 5.594% through the term loan maturity date of April 7, 2026.

In October 2023, we terminated one $50.0 million SOFR swap and received a cash settlement payment of $6.0 million. As of September 30, 2023, the net accumulated gain is included in Accumulated other comprehensive income on our Consolidated Balance Sheets, and will be amortized as a reduction to Interest expense over the term of the hedged transaction.

Secured Debt

In October 2023, we entered into new mortgage term loans for $252.8 million that mature in November 2030 and bear interest at a fixed rate of 6.49%. As a result of the new mortgage term loans, two additional properties are encumbered. We used the proceeds to repay $117.8 million of mortgage term loans that mature in 2023 and pay down amounts drawn under our Senior Credit Facility. The effective interest rate on the new mortgage term loans is 6.251%, inclusive of the impact of the aforementioned terminated swap of $50.0 million.

We have evaluated our Consolidated Financial Statements for subsequent events through the date that this Form 10-Q was issued.

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 2022 Annual Report.

OVERVIEW

We are a fully integrated REIT. As of September 30, 2023, we owned and operated, directly or indirectly, or had an interest in, a portfolio of 670 developed properties located in the U.S., the UK and Canada, including 353 MH communities, 182 RV communities and 135 marinas. We have been in the business of acquiring, operating, developing and expanding MH and RV communities since 1975 and marinas since 2020. We lease individual sites with utilities access for placement of manufactured homes, RVs or boats to our customers. In the U.S., 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. In the UK, we also provide holiday home sales and associated site license activities to holiday homeowners in our MH communities. The Rental Program operations within our MH communities support and enhance our occupancy levels, property performance and cash flows.

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 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

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

Total Portfolio NOI - NOI is derived from property 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 NOI provides enhanced comparability for investor evaluation of properties' performance and growth over time.

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.

SUN COMMUNITIES, INC.

Same Property NOI - This is a management tool used when evaluating performance and growth of our Same Property portfolio. We define same properties as those we have owned and operated continuously since January 1, 2022. Same properties exclude ground-up development properties, acquired properties and properties sold after December 31, 2021. The Same Property data may change from time-to-time depending on acquisitions, dispositions, management discretion, significant transactions or unique situations. Same Property NOI does not include the revenues and expenses related to home sales, and service, retail, dining and entertainment activities at the properties. We believe that Same Property NOI is helpful to investors as a supplemental comparative performance measure of the income generated from the Same Property portfolio from one period to the next.

FFO

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, real estate related to impairment and 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.

Core FFO - In addition, we 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 FFO and Core FFO provide 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 financial performance measure or GAAP cash flow from operating activities as a measure of our liquidity. Because FFO excludes significant economic components of GAAP net income (loss) including depreciation and amortization, FFO should be used as a supplement to GAAP net income (loss) and not as an alternative to it. Furthermore, FFO is not intended as a measure of a REIT's ability to meet debt principal repayments and other cash requirements, nor as a measure of working capital. FFO is calculated in accordance with our interpretation of standards established by NAREIT, which may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs that interpret the NAREIT definition differently.

Catastrophic Event-Related Charges - Hurricane Ian

In September 2022, Hurricane Ian made landfall on Florida's western coast. The storm primarily affected three properties in the Fort Myers area, comprising approximately 2,500 sites. These properties sustained significant flooding and wind damage from the hurricane. At other affected MH and RV properties, most of the damage was limited to trees, roofs, fences, skirting and carports. At affected marina properties, docks, buildings, and landscaping sustained wind and water damage.

We maintain property, casualty, flood and business interruption insurance for our community portfolio, subject to customary deductibles and limits. As of September 30, 2023, estimated insurance recoveries, excluding business interruption recoveries, of $52.2 million related to Hurricane Ian were recorded in Notes and other receivables, net on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Changes in estimated insurance recoveries related to Hurricane Ian during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 were primarily the result of $45.0 million of incremental costs that exceeded the applicable deductible, net of a $4.8 million reduction due to a decrease in estimated property losses. The foregoing estimates are based on current information available, and we continue to assess these estimates. Actual charges and insurance recoveries could vary significantly from these estimates. Any changes to these estimates will be recognized in the period(s) in which they are determined.

Seasonality of Revenue

The RV and marina industries are seasonal in nature, and the results of operations in any one period may not be indicative of results in future periods.

In the RV business, certain properties maintain higher occupancy during the summer months, while other properties maintain higher occupancy during the winter months. Based on the location of our properties with transient RV sites, our portfolio generally produces higher revenues between April and September than between October and March. As of September 30, 2023, we recognized Real property - transient revenue of $39.8 million in the first quarter, $89.4 million in the second quarter and $152.0 million in the third quarter. Real property-transient revenue for the year ended December 31, 2022 was recognized as follows:


	Real property - transient revenue (in millions)		For the Three Months Ended

2022	$	334.5	12.7	%	27.8	%	45.8	%	13.7	%	100.0	%

In the marina business, the majority of our wet slip and dry storage space leases have annual terms that are billed seasonally. Wet slip storage increases during the summer months for the boating season, whereas dry storage increases during the winter season as weather patterns require boat owners to store their vessels on dry docks or within covered racks. As of September 30, 2023, we recognized seasonal real property revenue of $72.5 million in the first quarter, $90.3 million in the second quarter and $99.8 million in the third quarter. Seasonal real property revenue for the year ended December 31, 2022 was recognized as follows:

Real Property Operations - Same Property Portfolio

Same Property refers to properties that we have owned for at least the preceding year, exclusive of properties recently completed or under construction, and other properties as determined by management. The Same Property 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 Property portfolio, management has classified certain items differently than our GAAP statement. The reclassification difference between our GAAP statements and our Same Property portfolio is the reclassification of utility revenues from real property revenue to operating expenses. Additionally, prior period Canadian currency figures have been translated at 2022 average exchange rates for constant currency comparability.

The following tables reflect certain financial and other information for our Same Property MH, RV and Marina portfolios as of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 (in millions, except for statistical information):

(a) Same Property adjusted blended occupancy for MH and RV combined increased to 98.8% at September 30, 2023, from 97.1% at September 30, 2022. The 170 basis point increase was driven by MH expansion fills and the conversion of transient RV sites to annual sites.

(1)Only items determined by management to be material, of interest, or unique to the periods disclosed above are explained below.

N/M = Percentage change is not meaningful.

Service, retail, dining and entertainment, net - for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, decreased due primarily to increased costs of providing services at our Marina properties.

Interest income - for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, increased primarily due to a larger loan balance provided to a real estate operator to fund investing and financing activities in the current period as compared to the same periods in 2022.

Brokerage commissions and other, net - for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, increased primarily due to the receipt of business interruption insurance recoveries of $12.9 million, net of deductibles, in connection with Hurricane Ian. Refer to Note 16, "Commitments and Contingencies," in our accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Catastrophic event-related charges, net - for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, were a benefit of $3.1 million and $2.2 million, respectively, compared to an expense of $12.2 million and $12.3 million, respectively, in 2022. The benefit in 2023 was primarily due to the receipt of insurance recoveries for replacement costs in excess of property damaged by Hurricane Irma, compared to net impairment charges in 2022, related to damaged property from Hurricane Ian.

SUN COMMUNITIES, INC.

Business combinations - for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, decreased primarily as a result of no new acquisitions accounted for as business combinations during 2023 as compared to the same period in 2022. Refer to Note 3, "Real Estate Acquisitions and Dispositions," in our accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Interest expense - for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, increased due to the higher debt balance and increased interest rates as compared to the same period in 2022. Refer to Note 8, "Debt and Line of Credit," of our accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Gain / (loss) on remeasurement of marketable securities - for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 was a gain of $6.1 million and loss of $8.0 million, as compared to a loss of $7.2 million and a loss of $74.0 million during the same periods in 2022 due to the fluctuation in the price of our publicly traded marketable securities.

Gain / (loss) on dispositions of properties - for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was a loss of $2.9 million due to the loss on sale of three properties as compared to a gain of $12.5 million on the sale of three properties during the same period in 2022. Refer to Note 3, "Real Estate Acquisitions and Dispositions," in our accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Other income / (expense), net - for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, was an expense of $3.7 million and $5.5 million, respectively, compared to income of $2.8 million and $2.6 million, respectively, during the same periods in 2022, primarily due to expenses from long-term lease terminations in 2023 compared with a litigation settlement gain in 2022.

Current tax expense - for the three months ended September 30, 2023, decreased due to decreased taxable income at our UK operations, compared to the same period in 2022. Refer to Note 12, "Income Taxes," in our accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Short-term Liquidity

Our principal short-term liquidity demands historically have been, and are expected to continue to be, distributions to our shareholders and the unit holders of the Operating Partnership, property acquisitions, development and expansion of our properties, capital improvement of our properties, the purchase of new and pre-owned homes, and debt repayment. We intend to meet our short-term liquidity requirements through available cash balances, cash flows generated from operations, draws on our Senior Credit Facility, and the use of debt and equity offerings under our shelf registration statement. Refer to Note 8, "Debt and Line of Credit," Note 9, "Equity and Temporary Equity," and Note 19, "Subsequent Events," in our accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information and related activity subsequent to September 30, 2023.

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 take a disciplined approach to selecting the optimal mix of financing sources to meet our liquidity demands and minimize our overall cost of capital. Our investment grade credit ratings of BBB and Baa3 from S&P Global and Moody's, respectively, remain unchanged from the initial rating. We plan to continue to capitalize on our unsecured bond market access to optimize our cost of capital and increase our financial flexibility.

Current market and economic conditions, including relating to, among other things, interest rates, currency fluctuations, equity valuations and inflation, may adversely affect our ability to obtain debt and equity capital in the short term on attractive terms.

Throughout our history, we have demonstrated operational reliability and cash flow strength throughout economic cycles. Our current objectives include streamlining our operations with an emphasis on our reliable real property income. We recognize the headwinds we are facing from a challenging macroeconomic environment and are re-aligning our strategy to focus on our proven, durable income streams. We are positioned for ongoing organic growth with expected rental rate increases. Looking ahead to 2024, we expect rental rate growth that exceeds headline inflation with ongoing focus on expense management to continue generating strong organic cash flow growth.

Given a macroeconomic backdrop of sustained higher interest rates, we intend to prioritize variable rate debt reduction as our primary use of free cash flow from our operations and selective capital recycling, including the disposition of our 41.8 million share position in Ingenia Communities Group and other potential capital recycling opportunities. In addition, we are pulling back on our development activity and capital spending considering the more challenging macroeconomic and capital market environments. Capital spending besides projects that are underway, will be solely focused on the most strategic opportunities. We also attempt to manage interest rate risks by using interest rate hedging instruments and by monitoring our overall leverage levels. We engage in certain hedging transactions to limit our exposure from the adverse effects of changes in interest rates on borrowing costs of our loans.

Acquisition, development and expansion activities

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 Senior Credit Facility, the assumption of existing debt on properties and the issuance of debt and equity securities. The current higher interest rate environment may make it more expensive to finance acquisitions and fund developments and expansion. We will continue to evaluate acquisition and development opportunities that meet our underwriting criteria.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we acquired one MH community totaling 68 sites and 72 development sites, and one marina totaling 24 wet slips and dry storage spaces, for a total purchase price of approximately $107.0 million. Total acquisition investments were $319.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and represents the purchase price paid for operating properties and land parcels for future ground-up development and expansions activities, plus any capital improvements identified during due diligence needed to bring acquired properties up to the Company's operating standards.

We have been focused on property ground-up development and expansion opportunities adjacent to our existing properties. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we acquired four land parcels located in the U.S. and the UK for the potential development of over 1,300 sites, expanded our existing communities by over 410 sites and delivered over 280 sites at three ground-up development properties.

SUN COMMUNITIES, INC.

We continue to expand our properties utilizing our inventory of owned and entitled land. We have over 17,970 MH and RV sites suitable for future development.

Refer to Note 3, "Real Estate Acquisitions and Dispositions," in our accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements for additional detail on acquisitions completed to date.

Capital Expenditures (excluding Acquisition costs)

Our capital expenditures include lot modifications, growth projects, rebranding, acquisition-related capital expenditures, expansion and development construction costs, rental home purchases and recurring capital expenditures.

Our capital expenditure activity is summarized as follows (in millions):


	Nine Months Ended
	September 30, 2023		September 30, 2022
Recurring Capital Expenditures	$	61.0	$	50.7

Non-Recurring Capital Expenditures and Related Activities
Lot Modifications	41.3		25.9
Growth Projects	81.5		73.1
Rebranding	3.9		12.7
Capital improvements to recent acquisitions	168.2		220.9
Expansion and Development	232.0		176.7
Rental Program	201.4		100.9
Other	1.0		(4.3)
Total Non-Recurring Capital Expenditure and Related Activities	729.3		605.9
Total Capital Expenditure and Related Activities	$	790.3	$	656.6

Recurring capital expenditures

Property recurring capital expenditures are necessary to maintain asset quality, including purchasing and replacing items used to operate the communities and marinas. Recurring capital expenditures at our MH and RV properties include major road, driveway and pool improvements; clubhouse renovations; adding or replacing streetlights; playground equipment; signage; maintenance facilities; manager housing and property vehicles. Recurring capital expenditures at our marinas include dredging, dock repairs and improvements, and equipment maintenance and upgrades. The minimum capitalized amount is five hundred dollars.

Non-Recurring Capital Expenditures and Related Activities

Lot modifications - lot modification capital expenditures are incurred to modify the foundational structures required to set a new home after a previous home has been removed. These expenditures are necessary to create a revenue stream from a new site renter and often improve the quality of the community. Other lot modification expenditures include land improvements added to annual RV sites to aid in the conversion of transient RV guests to annual contracts.

Growth projects - growth projects consist of revenue generating or expense reducing activities at the properties. These include, but are 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.

Rebranding - rebranding includes new signage at our RV communities and the costs of building an RV mobile application and updated website.

Capital improvements subsequent to acquisition often require 24 to 36 months to complete after closing and include upgrading clubhouses; landscaping; new street light systems; new mail delivery systems; pool renovations including larger decks, heaters and furniture; new maintenance facilities; lot modifications; and new signage including main signs and internal road signs.

SUN COMMUNITIES, INC.

Expansion and development expenditures - consist primarily of construction costs such as roads, activities, and amenities, and costs necessary to complete site improvements, such as driveways, sidewalks and landscaping at the Company's MH and RV communities. Expenditures also include costs to rebuild after damage has been incurred at MH, RV or marina properties, and research and development.

Rental program - consists of investment in the acquisition of homes intended for the Rental Program and the purchase of vacation rental homes at our RV communities. Expenditures for these investments depend upon the condition of the markets for repossessions and new home sales, rental homes and vacation rental homes.

Cash Flow Activities

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


	Nine Months Ended
	September 30, 2023		September 30, 2022
Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities	$	672.9	$	689.8
Net Cash Used for Investing Activities	$	(817.8)	$	(2,740.8)
Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities	$	116.3	$	2,095.5
Effect of Exchange Rate Changes on Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash	$	0.2	$	(10.7)

Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash decreased by $28.4 million from $90.4 million as of December 31, 2022, to $62.0 million as of September 30, 2023.

Operating activities - Net cash provided by operating activities decreased by $16.9 million to $672.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to $689.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The decrease in operating cash flow was primarily due to an increase in interest expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the corresponding period in 2022 due to the changing macroeconomic environment, partially offset by improved Same Property operating performance at our MH and RV communities and marinas.

Our net cash flows provided by operating activities from continuing operations may be adversely impacted by, among other things:

•the market and economic conditions in our current markets generally, and specifically in the metropolitan areas of our current markets;

•lower occupancy and rental rates of our properties;

•substantial increases in insurance premiums;

•increases in other operating costs, such as wage and benefit costs, real estate taxes and utilities;

•decreased sales of manufactured homes;

•current volatility in economic conditions and the financial markets; and

•the effects of outbreaks of disease and related restrictions on business operations. See "Risk Factors" in Part I, Item 1A of our 2022 Annual Report.

Investing activities - Net cash used for investing activities decreased by $1.9 billion to $817.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to $2.7 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The decrease in Net cash used for investing activities was primarily driven by a decrease in cash deployed to acquire properties during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the corresponding period in 2022. Refer to the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for detail on the net cash used for investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022. Refer to Note 3, "Real Estate Acquisitions and Dispositions," and Note 19, "Subsequent Events," in our accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on acquisitions and investment activity subsequent to September 30, 2023.

SUN COMMUNITIES, INC.

Financing activities - Net cash provided by financing activities decreased by $2.0 billion to $116.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to $2.1 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The decrease in Net cash provided by financing activities was primarily driven by a decrease in borrowings on our Senior Credit Facility, net of repayments, and a decrease in issuance of common stock, OP units and preferred OP units, net, during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the corresponding period in 2022. Refer to the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for detail on the net cash provided by financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022. 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.

We are exposed to interest rate variability associated with our outstanding floating rate debt and any maturing debt that has to be refinanced. Interest rate movements impact our borrowing costs and, while as of September 30, 2023, over 82% of our total debt was fixed rate financing, including the impact of hedge activity, increases in interest costs are likely to adversely affect our financial results.

Equity and Debt Activity

Public Equity Offerings

In November 2021, we entered into the November 2021 Forward Sale Agreements in connection with an underwritten registered public offering of 4,025,000 shares of our common stock at a public offering price of $185.00 per share. In April 2022, we completed the physical settlement of the 4,025,000 shares of common stock and received aggregate net proceeds of $705.4 million. We used the net proceeds to repay borrowings outstanding under our Senior Credit Facility, and for working capital and general corporate purposes.

At the Market Offering Sales Agreement

In December 2021, we entered into an At the Market Offering Sales Agreement (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 $1.25 billion 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. We simultaneously terminated our prior sales agreement upon entering into the Sales Agreement. Through September 30, 2023, we had entered into forward sales agreements under our Sales Agreement for an aggregate gross sales price of $160.6 million.

Marketable Securities

Subsequent to the three months ended September 30, 2023, we sold our 41.8 million share position in Ingenia Communities Group (ASX: INA), generating $102.5 million of proceeds, net of underwriting and other estimated fees, with an estimated realized loss of $9.0 million. The proceeds were used to pay down amounts drawn under our Senior Credit Facility.

SUN COMMUNITIES, INC.

Secured Debt

Subsequent to the three months ended September 30, 2023, we entered into new mortgage term loans for $252.8 million that mature in November 2030 and bear interest at a fixed rate of 6.49%. As a result of the new mortgage term loans, two additional properties are encumbered. We used the proceeds to repay $117.8 million of mortgage term loans that mature in 2023 and pay down amounts drawn under our Senior Credit Facility. The effective interest rate on the new secured loans is 6.251%, inclusive of the impact of the aforementioned terminated swap of $50.0 million.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we entered into mortgage term loans totaling $184.1 million related to 27 properties which mature from February 13, 2026 to April 1, 2033, and have a weighted average fixed interest rate of 5.39%. We used the net proceeds to repay borrowings outstanding under our Senior Credit Facility.

During the year ended December 31, 2022, we entered into a new $20.6 million construction loan, which was undrawn as of September 30, 2023 and a $3.4 million mortgage term loan that are jointly secured by one property. Both loans mature on August 10, 2047 and have a fixed interest rate of 3.65%. Additionally, we entered into a mortgage term loan of $226.0 million related to 18 existing encumbered properties which mature between June 15, 2026, and December 15, 2029, and have a fixed interest rate of 4.5%.

During the three months ended September 30, 2022, we repaid $318.0 million of term loans collateralized by 35 properties. These loans had a weighted average interest rate of 4.81% and were set to mature from December 6, 2022 through September 6, 2024.

Senior Unsecured Notes

The following table sets forth certain information regarding our outstanding senior unsecured notes (in millions). All senior unsecured notes include interest payments on a semi-annual basis in arrears.


			Carrying Amount
	Principal Amount		September 30, 2023		December 31, 2022
5.7% notes, issued in January 2023 and due in January 2033(1)	$	400.0	$	395.6	N/A
4.2% notes, issued in April 2022 and due in April 2032	600.0		592.4		591.8

2.7% notes, issued in June 2021 and October 2021, and due in July 2031	750.0		742.3		741.6
Total	$	2,200.0	$	2,176.9	$	1,779.6

The obligations of the Operating Partnership to pay principal, premiums, if any, and interest on our senior unsecured 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 its parent company 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

In April 2022, the Operating Partnership as borrower, SUI as guarantor, and certain lenders entered into the Credit Facility Amendment, which amended our Senior Credit Facility.

SUN COMMUNITIES, INC.

The Senior Credit Facility bears interest at a floating rate based on the Adjusted Term SOFR, the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate, the Australian BBSY, the Daily SONIA Rate or the Canadian Dollar Offered Rate, as applicable, plus a margin, in all cases, which can range from 0.725% to 1.6%, subject to certain adjustments. As of September 30, 2023, the margins based on our credit ratings were 0.85% on the revolving loan facility and 0.95% on the term loan facility. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and year ended December 31, 2022, we achieved sustainability related requirements resulting in a favorable 0.04% and 0.01% adjustments, respectively, to both margins.

Financial Covenants

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

As of September 30, 2023, 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.

Derivative Transactions

SUN COMMUNITIES, INC.

Subsequent to the three months ended September 30, 2023, we terminated one $50.0 million SOFR swap and received a cash settlement payment of $6.0 million. As of September 30, 2023, the net accumulated gain is included in Accumulated other comprehensive income on our Consolidated Balance Sheets, and will be amortized as a reduction to Interest expense over the term of the hedged transaction.

During the three months ended September 30, 2023, we entered into two interest rate swap contracts to hedge variable rate borrowings of $125.0 million in aggregate. The interest rate swaps lock in a weighted average SOFR rate of 4.771%, for an all-in rate of 5.6814% through the maturity date of April 7, 2026. On October 5, 2023, we entered into an interest rate swap contract to hedge variable rate borrowings of $25.0 million under the term loan of the Senior Credit Facility. The interest rate swap locks in a weighted average SOFR rate of 4.684%, and inclusive of spread, an all-in rate of 5.594% through the term loan maturity date of April 7, 2026. Refer to Note 19, "Subsequent Events," for derivative activity subsequent to September 30, 2023.

Long-term Financing and Capital Requirements

Long-term Financing

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 debt and the issuance of certain debt or equity securities subject to market conditions. If current market and economic conditions, including relating to, among other things, interest rates, currency fluctuations, equity valuations and inflation, continue or worsen, our ability to obtain debt and equity capital in the long term on attractive terms may be adversely affected.

As of September 30, 2023 we had unrestricted cash on hand of $46.0 million, $2.0 billion of remaining capacity on the Senior Credit Facility, and a total of 516 unencumbered MH, RV and marina properties.

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 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. In the event our current credit ratings are downgraded, it may become difficult or more expensive to obtain additional financing or refinance existing unsecured debt as maturities become due. See "Risk Factors" in Part I, Item 1A of our 2022 Annual 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 September 30, 2023, our net debt to enterprise value was 33.2% (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 J preferred OP units and Series K preferred OP units to shares of common stock). Our debt has a weighted average interest rate of 4.13% and a weighted average years to maturity of 6.8.

SUN COMMUNITIES, INC.

Capital Requirements

Certain of our nonconsolidated affiliates, which are accounted for under the equity-method of accounting, have incurred debt. We have not guaranteed the debt of our nonconsolidated affiliates in the arrangements referenced below, nor do we have any obligations to fund this debt should the nonconsolidated affiliates be unable to do so. Refer to Note 6, "Investments in Nonconsolidated Affiliates," in the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information about these entities.

GTSC - During September 2019, GTSC entered into a warehouse line of credit with a maximum loan amount of $125.0 million.

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 $1.4 billion as of September 30, 2023 and 2022, after adjusting for the impact of hedging in place through the use of interest rate swaps. As of September 30, 2023 and 2022, our variable debt bore interest at the Adjusted Term SOFR, the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate, the Australian BBSY rate, the Daily SONIA Rate or the Canadian Dollar Offered Rate, and the Eurodollar rate or Prime rate plus a margin. If the above rates increased or decreased by 1.0%, our interest expense would have increased or decreased by $10.4 million and $10.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, based on the $1.4 billion average balance outstanding under our variable rate debt facilities for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022. Our variable rate debt, interest expense and average balance outstanding under our variable rate debt facility includes the impact of hedge activity.

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 properties in the UK and Canada, and our equity investment and joint venture in Australia, 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 September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, our shareholder's equity included $890.9 million and $1.2 billion from our investments and operations in the UK, Canada and Australia which collectively represented 11.4% and 14.9% of total shareholder's equity, respectively. Based on our sensitivity analysis, a 10.0% strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the Pound sterling, Canadian dollar and Australian dollar would have caused a reduction of $89.1 million and $117.9 million to our total shareholder's equity at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

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 September 30, 2023. Based upon this evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2023.

Changes in internal control over financial reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended September 30, 2023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
