| Looking at same property results across each segment, manufactured housing performance was strong |
| And we think it will be a continued benefit as we move forward and strengthen the Board and the company in the future |
| And as we've reflected in guidance while somewhat flattish, we believe we will continue to see improvement with continued improvements in the macroeconomics in the UK |
| Given that we converted last year over 6% of our sites, we are underwriting strong rate growth on the transient side |
| The outperformance was driven by higher rental revenues from MH and Marinas and lower expense growth across all segments |
| They're excellent properties |
| We are forecasting another very strong year of conversions for our portfolio that will continue to drive operational efficiencies over the course of the next couple of years |
| They have a great runway to be able to convert transient to annual, so should be positive as we go forward |
| All these things I think position us going forward to return to the kind of year-over-year translation of core growth into meaningful FFO per share growth |
| Within our Marina same-property portfolio, the continued strong demand for wet slip and dry storage spaces led to another positive quarter and year with a 12.5% increase in NOI for the quarter and an 11.7% increase for the year |
| In the UK the real property NOI of $66.7 million for the year was in line with guidance, demonstrating the strong value proposition our Holiday Parks represent |
| But as always, all options are on the table, and we're excited for the management team to turn in the best results to take in 2024 |
| That headwind as we step into 2025 will not be there, which will aid in reaccelerating that growth and that flow-through of strong same-property NOI growth expected not just for this year, but for next year as well as you've seen and underwritten for the company for many years |
| We have a successful relationship with them and it helped us achieve our leading position as an owner and operator one of the highest quality RV portfolios in the US |
| Achieving this involves maintaining focus on our best-in-class portfolio and operating team, which have consistently delivered strong same-property NOI growth |
| To simplify our business and reduce exposure to variable rate debt, in the fourth quarter, we made strong progress towards monetizing assets no longer deemed to be strategic |
| So and we feel very good going forward |
| As discussed earlier, UK real property performance showed strong growth and home sales volumes were in line with guidance |
| For the quarter, same-property NOI increased 9.6% compared to the prior year due to a 6.3% increase in revenues, driven by strong rental rate increases and occupancy gains |
| 2023 results demonstrated the resiliency of our best-in-class portfolio and our ability to generate reliable, strong same-property NOI growth |
| Strong revenue growth was supported by expense management and real estate tax savings |
| The outperformance was driven by continued strong demand for wet slip and dry storage spaces due to higher boat traffic especially in the Southeast |
| Our operational strength highlights the enduring robust demand and limited supply fundamentals of our portfolio, which supports continued strong revenue growth complemented by diligent expense management |
| Obviously, as we've stated in our remarks that we continue to see strong demand for wet slip and dry storage |
| The Marina same-property portfolio had another very positive quarter and year with a 12.5% increase in NOI for the quarter and an 11.7% increase for the year |
| Our guidance for 2024 does have the headwinds that Fernando shared with regard to the income interest that we don't have starting out the year but it leads to solid growth and solid guidance on all our business platforms and we look to be able to update and share everybody quarter-by-quarter as we continue to make progress on these goals |
| We're over two years into that right now, and we're continuing to see the benefit where we reduce home sales margin, whether intentional or not, and seek to increase occupancy and contribution through real property rent and lease payments, if you will |
| So our goal at this time based on market in the UK and the fact that we have really well-located properties and an excellent management team is managing through these difficult times, that we will continue to operate the platform with maximize growth and value with what we consider a great management team, and make determinations on a quarterly and annual basis, as to best decisions moving forward |
| We are excited about the prospects awaiting us in 2024 and beyond |
| Notably we believe these 14 properties have a long runway of embedded growth with meaningful opportunity for transient to annual RV site conversions over the coming years, five properties remain in consolidated JVs where we hold approximately 95% ownership interest |

| UK home sales and margins were in line with our guidance, which reflected economic headwinds facing UK consumers, including higher inflation and interest rates |
| With regard to the UK, I think that, we've discussed that certainly the macro headwinds have impacted home sales |
| On the revenue side, prior we are expecting transient revenue growth for the portfolio to be at -- to be down about 2% -- 2.75% for the year and that is what we are currently underwriting |
| From an SRD&E perspective and the decline expected underwritten forecasted for this year that is primarily coming from the Marina side where we are forecasting lower boat sales for this year |
| Fernando, I saw that same-properties revenue for UK is 200 bps lower than the average rental rate increase |
| As a result of the material weakness in the design of this control, we failed to take the material goodwill impairment charge at the appropriate quarters |
| I read the 8-K last night on the material weakness in company's internal controls |
| At the high-end of the range, we are expecting flat volume for -- on a year-over-year basis at the midpoint, about a 3.5% decline in volume |
| So, John transient revenue expectations in total for RV are expected to be down 2.75% |
| The headwinds faced by Park Holidays and the difficulties brought on by the UK note restructuring had a meaningful impact on our performance the stock and investors' perceptions of Sun |
| But we are painfully aware and recognize how challenging 2023 was for all of our stakeholders |
| But conversely service, dining, retail, entertainment or F&B is expected to decline 11% |
| So curious -- it feels like it's taking longer than expected |
| Despite of our year-end audit process, it was determined that the impairments should have been recognized in earlier periods, resulting in a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting |
| While we're frustrated as everyone is with the added complication of the announced non-cash goodwill impairment here at Sun the impact does not affect any of Park Holidays' historical cash flow or their operating metrics including NOI, core FFO or its future growth prospects |
| A material weakness is a deficiency in internal control over financial reporting, which results in a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our financial statements will occur |
| I had a question on the RV NOI growth guidance of 2.1% to 2.5%, but that seemed a bit light given the strong kind of annual growth rate |
| Certainly, as we've shared, the disproportionate attention and focus in the downward guidance we experienced in 2023 are all areas that we are focused on |
| That is -- that gets you to the down year-over-year about 2.75% currently |
| These impairments, which are now recognized at March 31, June 30 and September 30, 2023, reduced balance sheet goodwill and GAAP net income |
