The Company rented an additional 394 homes during the year ended December 31, 2010, bringing the total number of occupied rentals to 6,141.

Same Site Results

For 136 communities owned throughout 2010 and 2009, fourth quarter 2010 total revenues increased 3.0 percent and total expenses decreased 0.6 percent, resulting in an increase in NOI(2) of 4.5 percent over the fourth quarter of 2009. For the year ended December 31, 2010, total revenues increased 2.5 percent and total expenses increased 1.0 percent resulting in an increase in NOI(2) of 3.1 percent over the year ended December 31, 2009.

During the year ended December 31, 2010, 1,375 homes were sold, an increase of 23.2 percent from the 1,116 homes sold during the year ended December 31, 2009.

Rental home sales, included in total home sales above, totaled 177 and 762 for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2010, as compared to 174 and 705 for the same periods in 2009.

Net Loss Attributable to Common Stockholders

Net loss attributable to common stockholders for the fourth quarter of 2010 was $(0.4) million, or $(0.02) per diluted common share, compared with a net loss of $(2.9) million, or $(0.15) per diluted common share, for the fourth quarter of 2009. Net loss attributable to common stockholders for the year ended December 31, 2010 was $(2.9) million, or $(0.15) per diluted common share, compared with $(6.3) million, or $(0.34) per diluted common share, for the year ended December 31, 2009.

Stock Issuance

During the year, the Company sold 1,019,816 shares of common stock at a weighted average price of $30.31 per share, resulting in additional net capital of approximately $30.3 million.

In January of 2011, the Company sold 915,827 shares of common stock at a weighted average price of $32.76 per share, resulting in additional net capital of approximately $30.0 million. This additional capital may be utilized in connection with the potential acquisition of a portfolio of twenty communities. The funds have currently been used to pay down the Company’s unsecured line of credit.

2011 Earnings Guidance

Including approximately $0.12 per Share of dilution from the $30.0 million of equity issued in January of 2011 and excluding the effect of any potential acquisition, the Company expects FFO(1) per Share to be in the range of $2.95 to $3.03 for 2011. Guidance is derived from the following operational assumptions:



Sun Communities, Inc. 4th Quarter 2010
Page 3

 

 
Site rent increases

The weighted average site rental increase for 2011 is expected to be 2.7 percent.

Occupancy

Revenue producing sites are expected to increase by approximately 560 sites. An increase in revenue producing sites is expected in all major markets.

Same property portfolio

The Company's same property portfolio of 136 communities is expected to generate growth in NOI(2) of approximately 3.6 percent in 2011.

Home sales

The Company expects to sell approximately 1,600 homes, including 918 rental homes, an increase of 16.3 percent.

Rental home program

Guidance includes the assumption that the number of occupied rental units and average monthly rate will remain relatively unchanged.

Recurring capital expenditures

The Company expects recurring capital expenditures to approximate $7.4 million for 2011, or about $0.32 per Share. Using the midpoint of earnings guidance, our payout ratio will be approximately 94 percent when compared to the Company’s 2010 annual dividend of $2.52 per Share.

General & administrative expenses-real property

General and administrative expenses–real property is expected to be approximately $17.2 million.

Debt maturities

The Company has maturities of approximately $104.0 million of its CMBS debt and $0.3 million of its preferred operating partnership units in 2011. The Company has entered into a fully negotiated, non-binding term sheet to refinance the $104.0 million of CMBS debt due in July of 2011. New appraisals of all 11 properties have been completed and when applied against the specified underwriting standards in the term sheet, should yield refinance proceeds to sufficiently payoff the existing debt.

In addition, the Company’s $115.0 million unsecured line of credit is maturing in October 2011. The Company is currently in discussions with its line of credit lenders to refinance its unsecured line of credit.

Expansions

The Company continues to look at expansion possibilities in communities that are currently 95 to 100 percent occupied. Guidance includes the expansion of two communities, one located in Houston, TX and the other in Austin, TX, which together will add approximately 276 usable sites by mid-year of 2011.

“2010 was a very good year on any metric we might look at – home sales, occupancy, same site growth, and so on. It is our intent to build upon that while broadening our base of growth to include acquisitions and expansions”, said Shiffman.

  (1)
Funds from operations (“FFO”) is defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) as net income (loss) (computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles “GAAP”), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of depreciable operating property, plus real estate-related depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. FFO is a non-GAAP financial measure that management believes is a useful supplemental measure of the Company’s operating performance. Management generally considers FFO to be a useful measure for reviewing comparative operating and financial performance because, by excluding gains and losses related to sales of previously depreciated operating real estate assets and excluding real estate asset depreciation and amortization (which can vary among owners of identical assets in similar condition based on historical cost accounting and useful life estimates), FFO provides a performance measure that, when compared year over year, reflects the impact to operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates and operating costs, providing perspective not readily apparent from net income. Management believes that the use of FFO has been beneficial in improving the understanding of operating results of REITs among the investing public and making comparisons of REIT operating results more meaningful.

Because FFO excludes significant economic components of net income (loss) including depreciation and amortization, FFO should be used as an adjunct to net income (loss) and not as an alternative to net income (loss). The principal limitation of FFO is that it does not represent cash flow from operations as defined by GAAP and is a supplemental measure of performance that does not replace net income (loss) as a measure of performance or net cash provided by operating activities as a measure of liquidity. In addition, FFO is not intended as a measure of a REIT’s ability to meet debt principal repayments and other cash requirements, nor as a measure of working capital. FFO only provides investors with an additional performance measure. Management also uses an Adjusted Funds from Operations (“Adjusted FFO”) non-GAAP financial measure, which excludes certain gain and loss items that management considers unrelated to the operational and financial performance of the Company’s core business. The Company believes that Adjusted FFO provides investors with another financial measure of our operating performance that is more comparable when evaluating period over period results. Other REITs may use different methods for calculating FFO and Adjusted FFO and, accordingly, the Company’s FFO and Adjusted FFO may not be comparable to other REITs.

  (2)
Investors in and analysts following the real estate industry utilize NOI as a supplemental performance measure. NOI is derived from revenues minus property operating expenses and real estate taxes. NOI does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered to be an alternative to net income (loss) (determined in accordance with GAAP) as an indication of the Company’s financial performance or to be an alternative to cash flow from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of the Company’s liquidity; nor is it indicative of funds available for the Company’s cash needs, including its ability to make cash distributions. The Company believes that net income (loss) is the most directly comparable GAAP measurement to NOI. Net income (loss) includes interest and depreciation and amortization which often have no effect on the market value of a property and therefore limit its use as a performance measure. In addition, such expenses are often incurred at a parent company level and therefore are not necessarily linked to the performance of a real estate asset. The Company believes that NOI is helpful to investors as a measure of operating performance because it is an indicator of the return on property investment, and provides a method of comparing property performance over time. The Company uses NOI as a key management tool when evaluating performance and growth of particular properties and/or groups of properties. The principal limitation of NOI is that it excludes depreciation, amortization, interest expense, and non-property specific expenses such as general and administrative expenses, all of which are significant costs, and therefore, NOI is a measure of the operating performance of the properties of the Company rather than of the Company overall.

The tax benefit for the periods ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 represents the reversal of a tax provision for potential taxes payable on the sale of company assets related to the enactment of the Michigan Business Tax. These taxes do not impact FFO(1) and would be payable from prospective proceeds of such sales.

  (4)
This amount represents the Company’s equity loss from affiliates. The cash dividend of $0.5 million received from Origen remains in Adjusted    FFO(1)
