Q1 2025 saw robust growth in core MH and RV operations, aided by the $5.65B Safe Harbor Marinas sale, which enabled significant debt reduction, a special dividend, and a $1B buyback plan. Updated guidance reflects higher MH NOI and lower RV expectations amid macro headwinds.

Second quarter results met guidance, with strong manufactured housing and UK performance offsetting RV segment softness. Over $300 million in asset sales reduced leverage, and full-year FFO guidance was reaffirmed. Transient RV and marina segments face near-term headwinds, but long-term strategies remain intact.
