Sun Communities, Inc
Figure 1: UK Sale Dilution Analysis - Assuming redeployment of proceeds into acquisitions in the mid-4's and the
rest into share buybacks at current levels, we estimate ~5% core FFO/sh dilution from the transaction.

The sale is reflected in our updated FY26/FY27 core FFO/sh estimates of
$6.83/$7.05 (vs. $6.95/$7.37 prior). The main difference between our updated
estimates and our initial dilution analysis is timing, as our estimates assume the
sale closes mid-3Q vs. the 2-3 month timeline from announcement to closing
estimated by the company. We model redeployment of the proceeds as follows:
1) 50% ($515M) into acquisitions ratably over the NTM starting in 3Q26
($129M/quarter) at a 4.4% year-one cap rate. Management indicated in
our follow-up call after the sale announcement that US Manufactured
Housing (MH) and Recreational Vehicle (RV) assets are trading at cap
rate in the low-4’s, and they believe they can generate an incremental
~30 bps of yield per year based on their operation of the assets.
2) 50% ($515M) into share repurchases ratably over the NTM starting in
3Q26 ($129M/quarter) at a wtd avg price of $126.09 (5.7% implied cap
rate).
US RV Business Off to Strong Start In 1Q26, But 2Q26 Impacted By Adverse
MDW Weather
SUI’s transient RV business is still the primary risk worth monitoring, as the
company slightly lowered its top-line growth estimate from a ~1.5% Y/Y decline
(as of the 4Q25 earnings call) to a ~1.9% Y/Y decline (as of the 1Q26 call). US RV
NOI (which includes both annual & transient) grew +6.3% in 1Q26, putting SUI
well ahead of its FY26 guidance pace (0.0% to +1.8%).
