Key Financial Metrics (Nine Months Ended Sept 30, 2025)

Material Changes vs. Prior Period

• Revenue Growth: Rental income increased 10% year-over-year (YoY) for the nine-month period, driven by acquisitions, a 5.2% rental rate increase, and a 110 basis point increase in same-property occupancy to 88.5%.
• Profitability: Net income attributable to common shareholders surged 165% YoY, primarily due to a significant decrease in the fair value of marketable securities in the prior year period (which reduced prior year income) and improved operating margins.
• Acquisitions: The Company acquired four communities during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, for approximately $40.2 million. These included Cedar Grove and Maplewood Village (NJ) and Conowingo Court and Maybelle Manor (MD).
• Debt Structure: In July 2025, the Company issued approximately $80.2 million of 5.85% Series B Bonds due 2030. Concurrently, the Company paid off approximately $110 million in existing mortgages, resulting in a net decrease in mortgage payable balances despite the new issuance.
• Capital Deployment: Land development costs increased 125% to $76.4 million due to expansion projects. The Company added 433 rental homes net of sales during the period.

Guidance, Outlook, and Risks

• Outlook: Management expects continued demand for affordable housing. The Company plans to continue acquiring communities yielding in excess of its cost of funds and investing in physical improvements and rental home additions.
• Dividends: The quarterly common stock dividend was increased to $0.225 per share (a 4.7% increase) in April 2025. The Series D Preferred Stock dividend remains at $0.3984375 per share.
• Liquidity: The Company maintains $260 million available on its unsecured credit facility and approximately $128 million on revolving lines of credit for inventory financing. Cash balances decreased significantly due to capital expenditures and debt paydowns.
• Risks: Key risks include interest rate fluctuations, the ability to refinance debt at favorable terms, competition in geographic markets, and regulatory changes affecting REITs or manufactured housing. The Company holds a portfolio of marketable securities with net unrealized losses of $38.7 million as of September 30, 2025.

Investor Verification Checklist

• Debt Maturity Wall: Verify the schedule of mortgage maturities; $25.2 million is due within 12 months and $50.5 million within 18 months.
• Marketable Securities Volatility: Review the impact of the $38.7 million unrealized loss in the REIT securities portfolio on future earnings volatility.
• Acquisition Integration: Monitor the occupancy ramp-up for the four communities acquired in 2025, particularly Conowingo Court which was acquired at 70% occupancy.
• Interest Rate Exposure: Assess the impact of the new Series B Bonds (5.85%) and the weighted average interest rate increase to 4.8% on future interest expense.
• Capital Raise Capacity: Confirm remaining capacity under the Common Stock ATM program ($44.6 million) and Preferred Stock ATM program ($99.9 million).
