Up for Debate; Thoughts on ELS’s 2Q26 Earnings

CITI'S TAKE

Neutral While ELS lifted its core FFO guidance midpoint by 1c (~0.3%) on +30bps

higher core income growth, this was driven by lower expenses (-60bps), as Price (22 Jul 26 16:00) US$65.48

revenue growth was lowered slightly (-10bps) to reflect worse Target price US$65.00

transient/seasonal RV revenue (presumably due to recent trends, as 3Q is Expected share price return -0.7%

the most important for transient revenues). Though ELS lifted both is core Expected dividend yield 2.5%

income growth guidance and other guidance metrics (e.g. non-core Expected total return 1.8%

income), the 2Q beat relative to our estimate was mainly driven by higher

Market Cap US$12,699M “income from other investments,” which was likely driven by the

consolidation of 7 RV properties where ELS acquired the remaining 20%

interest (so the question is whether this is more one-time in nature).

Overall, ELS is producing strong core income growth, partially due to its Eric Wolfe

ability to lower transient RV expenses on reduced transient demand, +1-212-816-2640

though debate will continue about the flow-through to earnings and the eric.wolfe@citi.com

predictability of the RV business.

Guidance — ELS slightly lowered its core revenue growth guidance (-10bps) on nicholas.joseph@citi.com

lower RV revenue (-80bps) offset by higher MH (+10bps) and other revenue

Nick Kerr(+60bps). The lower RV revenue guidance was driven by lower seasonal/transient

revenue guidance, which we estimate is about -7% from previous guidance of about +1-212-816-2036
