Sun Communities reports Q3 core FFO $2.57, consensus $2.46

“In the third quarter, we again delivered strong performance in our core real property portfolio, with Same Property NOI growth and Core FFO exceeding our expectations,” said Gary A. Shiffman, Chairman, President and CEO. “This strength was exhibited across Manufactured Housing, RV and Marinas, all of which demonstrate the continued favorable backdrop of high demand and limited supply. Furthermore, we are positioned for ongoing organic growth with 2024 expected rental rate increases of approximately 5.4% for MH, 6.5% for RV, and 5.6% for Marina in North America and 7.1% for UK.” He continued, “Our current objectives include implementing select changes to help our best-in-class portfolio deliver the FFO per share growth Sun shareholders historically have enjoyed. These changes include selective capital recycling opportunities and using the proceeds to de-lever. With the strength of our core business, which has a positive track record throughout economic cycles, and our focus on our durable cash flow business, we remain confident in our ability to create shareholder value.”
