Positive Outlook
- Total Real Property NOI growth is 3.5% – 3.9%
- MH – reducing Same Property NOI growth to a range of 5.6% – 6.2%
- Marinas – reducing Same Property NOI to a range of 4.4% – 5.2%
- In the UK, the Company is reducing Same Property NOI growth to a range of 7.1% – 8.7% for the full-year
- The Company expects to realize the following rental rate increases, on average, during 2025: North America MH 5.2%, Annual RV 5.1%, Marina 3.7%, UK 3.7%
Challenges Ahead
- Total Real Property NOI growth is 240 basis points lower at the midpoint of guidance for 2024, primarily reflecting year-to-date property dispositions and the resultant loss of income from those properties, increased costs versus an anticipated reduction in costs and expense savings incorporated into previous guidance, and lower expected transient revenue in our RV and marina businesses.
