Accounting Policies [Abstract] |
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (a) Revenue Recognition Our revenue streams are predominantly derived from customers renting our Sites or entering into membership subscriptions. Leases with customers renting our Sites are accounted for as operating leases. The rental income associated with these leases is accounted for in accordance with the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 842, Leases, and is recognized over the term of the respective lease or the length of a customer’s stay. MH Sites are generally leased on an annual basis to residents who own or lease factory-built homes, including manufactured homes. RV and marina Sites are leased to those who generally have an RV, factory-built cottage, boat or other unit placed on the site, including those customers renting marina dry storage slips. Annual Sites are leased on an annual basis, including those Northern Properties that are open for the summer season. Seasonal Sites are leased to customers generally for one to six months. Transient Sites are leased to customers on a short-term basis. We do not separate expenses reimbursed by our customers (“utility recoveries”) from the associated rental income as we meet the practical expedient criteria of ASC 842, Leases to combine the lease and non-lease components. We assessed the criteria and concluded that the timing and pattern of transfer for rental income and the associated utility recoveries are the same and, as our leases qualify as operating leases, we account for and present rental income and utility recoveries as a single component under Rental income in our Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. In addition, customers may lease homes that are located in our communities. These leases are accounted for as operating leases. Rental income derived from customers leasing homes is also accounted for in accordance with ASC 842, Leases and is recognized over the term of the respective lease. The allowance for credit losses related to the collectability of lease receivables is presented as a reduction to Rental income. Lease receivables are presented within Other assets, net on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and are net of an allowance for credit losses. The estimate for credit losses is a result of our ongoing assessments and evaluations of collectability, including historical loss experience, current market conditions and future expectations in forecasting credit losses. Annual membership subscriptions and membership upgrade sales are accounted for in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Membership subscriptions provide our customers access to specific Properties for limited stays at a specified group of Properties. Payments are deferred and recognized on a straight-line basis over the one-year period during which access to Sites at certain Properties is provided. Membership subscription receivables are presented within Other assets, net on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and are net of an allowance for credit losses. Membership upgrades grant certain additional access rights to the customer and require non-refundable upfront payments. The non-refundable upfront payments are recognized on a straight-line basis over 20 years. Financed upgrade sales (also known as contract receivables) are presented within Notes receivable, net on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and are net of an allowance for credit losses. Revenue from home sales is recognized when the earnings process is complete. The earnings process is complete when the home has been delivered, the purchaser has accepted the home and title has transferred. We have a limited program under which we purchase loans made by an unaffiliated lender to homebuyers at our Properties. Financed home sales (also known as chattel loans) are presented within Notes receivable, net on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and are net of an allowance for credit losses. (b) Restricted Cash As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, restricted cash consisted of $21.2 million and $19.7 million, respectively, primarily related to cash reserved for customer deposits and escrows for insurance and real estate taxes. (c) Reclassifications Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. (d) Insurance Recoveries We carry comprehensive insurance coverage for losses resulting from property damage and environmental liability and business interruption claims on all of our properties. We record the estimated amount of expected insurance proceeds for property damage, clean-up costs and other losses incurred as an asset (typically a receivable from our insurance carriers) and income up to the amount of the losses incurred when receipt of insurance proceeds is deemed probable. Any amount of insurance recovery in excess of the losses incurred and any amount of insurance recovery related to business interruption are considered a gain contingency and will be recognized in the period in which the insurance proceeds are received. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we recognized expenses of approximately $12.1 million related to debris removal and cleanup related to Hurricane Ian and an offsetting insurance recovery revenue accrual of $12.1 million related to the expected insurance recovery as a result of Hurricane Ian which is included in Casualty-related charges/(recoveries), net in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we received insurance proceeds of approximately $48.8 million, of which $9.6 million represented business interruption recovery revenue. (e) Prior period correction We previously disclosed in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2023 the correction of an error related to the classification of cash outflows associated with the purchase of manufactured homes in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Based on an analysis of quantitative and qualitative factors in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletins 99, Materiality and 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements, the Company previously concluded that this error was immaterial. Following receipt of a further comment letter from the SEC, the Company and the Audit Committee, on January 19, 2024, determined that the error was material to its previously issued financial statements, as included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 and the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2023. The Company previously classified cash outflows associated with the purchase of manufactured homes within investing activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Based on the predominance principle in ASC 230-10-45-22, the Company determined that all of the cash flows associated with the purchase and sale of manufactured homes should be classified within operating activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. There was no impact to Cash and restricted cash, the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income, Consolidated Balance Sheets, or Consolidated Statements of Changes in Equity for any periods presented herein. The impact of the restatements on the line items within the previously reported Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 previously filed in the Original Report is as follows (in thousands):
