What's Driving SUI's Business? Latest 10-Q Breakdown
✓ 21/21 datapoints verifiedAI-extracted from SUN COMMUNITIES INC's 10-Q filed 2026-04-28 — Q1 2026 (quarter ended March 31, 2026). Every figure is machine-verified against the filing text on SEC EDGAR.
Q1 revenue of $507.9M (+8.0% YoY) driven by real property income growth, but net loss of $6.3M reflects $24.5M FX headwind and elevated G&A expenses including $8.9M accelerated share-based compensation.
Biggest Revenue Drivers
Total revenue: $507.9M+8.0% YoY
Same Property NOI grew 6.3% in MH and RV segments; occupancy and rental rate increases offset by modest transient revenue decline.
North America units declined 15.9% but offset by 9.7% higher average selling prices; UK units up 1.8%.
Modest increase from property-related ancillary services.
Interest income increased from higher cash balances post-Safe Harbor Sale; brokerage commissions up 11.8%.
Largest Expense Items
Decline due to $3.2B debt settlement in 2025 using Safe Harbor Sale proceeds.
Increase driven by $8.9M accelerated share-based compensation expense and $5.1M severance costs for executive transitions.
Growth from expanded property base and investments in rental homes.
Same Property operating expenses up 5.2% due to payroll, real estate taxes, and supplies/repairs increases.
Margins: Operating margin pressured by $24.5M unfavorable foreign currency exchange loss (primarily GBP weakness) and elevated G&A from one-time executive transition costs. Core NOI margins remain stable at 5.1% on $255.4M total portfolio NOI (+7.3% YoY), reflecting rental rate growth offsetting operating cost inflation.
Watch Items from the Filing
- Class action antitrust litigation pending since August 2023 alleging unlawful sharing of competitively sensitive rent information among MH operators; company unable to estimate loss range but states potential adverse impact could be material.
- Foreign currency headwind: 13.6% of shareholder equity tied to UK/Canada/Australia operations; 10% USD strengthening would reduce equity by $93.2M.
- Insurance receivables of $41.6M outstanding as of Q1 2026 related to Hurricanes Helene and Milton; estimates remain subject to revision and actual recoveries could differ significantly.
- Same Property MH occupancy of 97.7% with blended 5.2% base rent growth and rental program expansion (12,440 occupied rental homes, +10.6% YoY) driving outperformance.

• Net income highly volatile: $82M (Q2 2024) to $1.4B (Q2 2025 and Q4 2025), then negative $6M (Q1 2026).
• Revenue contracted 15% from Q4 2024 peak ($1.5B) to Q1 2026 ($508M), suggesting seasonal or structural headwinds.
• Operating cash flow declined 14% from Q2 2024 ($311M) to Q1 2026 ($269M), despite revenue stability in recent quarters.
⚠ Equity eroded from $7.5B (Q3 2024) to $6.8B (Q1 2026)—deteriorating shareholder value amid earnings volatility.
⚠ Net income swings (from –$1.3B to +$1.4B within three quarters) signal material non-operating items; underlying operational health unclear.
AI Insight: SUI Ratio Trends
SUI's profitability metrics are severely volatile, swinging from strong positive returns to deep losses quarter-to-quarter, reflecting acute operational or accounting instability.

⚠ Absence of OpMargin and ROIC data limits trend analysis; inability to assess core profitability or capital efficiency.
