rates, by their nature, involve estimates, projections, goals,
forecasts and assumptions and are subject to risks and

potential revenue losses following storms or other unplanned
events; and (xvi) the potential impact of material weaknesses, if
any, in our internal control over financial reporting. For further
information on these and other factors that could impact us and the
statements contained herein, refer to our filings with

First quarter and full
year 2025 guidance represent management's estimate of a range of
possible outcomes. The midpoint of the ranges reflect management's
estimate of the most likely outcome, based on our current view of
existing market conditions and assumptions. Actual results could
vary materially from management's estimates presented above if any
of our assumptions are incorrect. See Forward-Looking Statements in
this press release for additional factors impacting our 2025
guidance assumptions. See Non-GAAP Financial Measures Definitions

Core RV and marina
annual revenue represents approximately 65.5% and 71.7% of first
quarter 2025 and full year 2025 RV and marina base rental income,
respectively. Core RV and marina annual revenue first quarter 2025
growth rate range is 3.5% to 4.1%, which is lower than our full
year expectation as the first quarter is impacted by leap year in
2024, and the full year 2025 growth rate range is 4.7% to
5.7%.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This document contains certain Non-GAAP measures used by
management that we believe are helpful to understand our business.
We believe investors should review these Non-GAAP measures along
with GAAP net income and cash flows from operating activities,
investing activities and financing activities, when evaluating an
equity REIT's operating performance. Our definitions and
calculations of these Non-GAAP financial and operating measures and
other terms may differ from the definitions and methodologies used
by other REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable. These
Non-GAAP financial and operating measures do not represent cash
generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP, nor do
they represent cash available to pay distributions and should not
be considered as an alternative to net income, determined in
accordance with GAAP, as an indication of our financial
performance, or to cash flows from operating activities, determined
in accordance with GAAP, as a measure of our liquidity, nor are
they indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs,
including our ability to make cash distributions. For definitions
and reconciliations of Non-GAAP measures to our financial
statements as prepared under GAAP, refer to both Reconciliation of
Net Income to Non-GAAP Financial Measures on page 8 and Non-GAAP
Financial Measures Definitions and Reconciliations on pages
18-21.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures Definitions and
Reconciliations
The following Non-GAAP financial measures definitions do not
include adjustments in respect to membership upgrade sales: (i)
FFO; (ii) Normalized FFO; (iii) EBITDAre; (iv) Adjusted EBITDAre;
(v) Property operating revenues; (vi) Property operating expenses,
excluding property management; and (vii) Income from property
operations, excluding property management.
FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS (FFO). We define FFO as net
income, computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains or losses
from sales of properties, depreciation and amortization related to
real estate, impairment charges and adjustments to reflect our
share of FFO of unconsolidated joint ventures. Adjustments for
unconsolidated joint ventures are calculated to reflect FFO on the
same basis. We compute FFO in accordance with our interpretation of
standards established by the National Association of Real Estate
Investment Trusts ("NAREIT"), which may not be comparable to FFO
reported by other REITs that do not define the term in accordance
with the current NAREIT definition or that interpret the current
NAREIT definition differently than we do.
We believe FFO, as defined by the Board of Governors of NAREIT,
is generally a measure of performance for an equity REIT. While FFO
is a relevant and widely used measure of operating performance for
equity REITs, it does not represent cash flow from operations or
net income as defined by GAAP, and it should not be considered as
an alternative to these indicators in evaluating liquidity or
operating performance.
NORMALIZED FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS (NORMALIZED
FFO). We define Normalized FFO as FFO excluding
non-operating income and expense items, such as gains and losses
from early debt extinguishment, including prepayment penalties,
defeasance costs, transaction/pursuit costs and other, and other
miscellaneous non-comparable items. Normalized FFO presented herein
is not necessarily comparable to Normalized FFO presented by other
real estate companies due to the fact that not all real estate
companies use the same methodology for computing this amount.
FUNDS AVAILABLE FOR DISTRIBUTION (FAD). We define FAD as
Normalized FFO less non-revenue producing capital expenditures.
We believe that FFO, Normalized FFO and FAD are helpful to
investors as supplemental measures of the performance of an equity
REIT. We believe that by excluding the effect of gains or losses
from sales of properties, depreciation and amortization related to
real estate and impairment charges, which are based on historical
costs and may be of limited relevance in evaluating current
performance, FFO can facilitate comparisons of operating
performance between periods and among other equity REITs. We
further believe that Normalized FFO provides useful information to
investors, analysts and our management because it allows them to
compare our operating performance to the operating performance of
other real estate companies and between periods on a consistent
basis without having to account for differences not related to our
normal operations. For example, we believe that excluding the early
extinguishment of debt and other miscellaneous non-comparable items
from FFO allows investors, analysts and our management to assess
the sustainability of operating performance in future periods
because these costs do not affect the future operations of the
properties. In some cases, we provide information about identified
non-cash components of FFO and Normalized FFO because it allows
investors, analysts and our management to assess the impact of
those items.
INCOME FROM PROPERTY OPERATIONS, EXCLUDING PROPERTY
MANAGEMENT. We define Income from property operations,
excluding property management as rental income, membership
subscriptions and upgrade sales, utility and other income less
property and rental home operating and maintenance expenses, real
estate taxes, membership sales and marketing expenses, excluding
property management expenses. Property management represents the
expenses associated with indirect costs such as off-site payroll
and certain administrative and professional expenses. We believe
exclusion of property management expenses is helpful to investors
and analysts as a measure of the operating results of our
properties, excluding items that are not directly related to the
operation of the properties. For comparative purposes, we present
bad debt expense within Property operating, maintenance and real
estate taxes in the current and prior periods. We believe that this
Non-GAAP financial measure is helpful to investors and analysts as
a measure of the operating results of our properties.

EARNINGS BEFORE INTEREST, TAX, DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION
FOR REAL ESTATE (EBITDAre) AND ADJUSTED EBITDAre. We
define EBITDAre as net income or loss excluding interest income and
expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, gains or
losses from sales of properties, impairments charges, and
adjustments to reflect our share of EBITDAre of unconsolidated
joint ventures. We compute EBITDAre in accordance with our
interpretation of the standards established by NAREIT, which may
not be comparable to EBITDAre reported by other REITs that do not
define the term in accordance with the current NAREIT definition or
that interpret the current NAREIT definition differently than we
do.
We define Adjusted EBITDAre as EBITDAre excluding non-operating
income and expense items, such as gains and losses from early debt
extinguishment, including prepayment penalties and defeasance
costs, transaction/pursuit costs and other, and other miscellaneous
non-comparable items.
We believe that EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre may be useful to
an investor in evaluating our operating performance and liquidity
because the measures are widely used to measure the operating
performance of an equity REIT.

CORE. The Core properties include properties we owned and
operated during all of 2023 and 2024. We believe Core is a measure
that is useful to investors for annual comparison as it removes the
fluctuations associated with acquisitions, dispositions and
significant transactions or unique situations.
NON-CORE. The Non-Core properties in 2024 include
properties that were not owned and operated during all of 2023 and
2024, including six properties in Florida impacted by Hurricane Ian and two
properties in California that were
impacted by storm and flooding events. The 2024 guidance reflects
Non-Core properties in 2024, which includes properties not owned
and operated during all of 2023 and 2024.
NON-REVENUE PRODUCING IMPROVEMENTS. Represents capital
expenditures that do not directly result in increased revenue or
expense savings and are primarily comprised of common area

This press release includes certain forward-looking information,
including Core and Non-Core Income from property operations,
excluding property management, that is not presented in accordance
with GAAP. In reliance on the exception in Item 10(e)(1)(i)(B) of
Regulation S-K, we do not provide a quantitative reconciliation of
such forward-looking information to the most directly comparable
financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP,
where we are unable to provide a meaningful or accurate calculation
or estimation of reconciling items and the information is not
available without unreasonable effort. This includes, for example,
(i) scheduled or implemented rate increases on community, resort
and marina sites; (ii) scheduled or implemented rate increases in
annual payments under membership subscriptions; (iii) occupancy
changes; (iv) costs to restore property operations and potential
revenue losses following storms or other unplanned events; and (v)
other nonrecurring/unplanned income or expense items, which may not
be within our control, may vary between periods and cannot be
reasonably predicted. These unavailable reconciling items could
significantly impact our future financial results.
