Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition
On January 22, 2007, Equity LifeStyle Properties, Inc. issued a news release announcing its
results of operations for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2006. This information
is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this report on Form 8-K. The information contained in this report
on Form 8-K, including Exhibit 99.1, shall not be deemed “filed” with the Securities and Exchange
Commission nor incorporated by reference in any registration statement filed by Equity LifeStyle
Properties, Inc. under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
This news release includes certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. When used, words such as “anticipate,” “expect,”
“believe,” “project,” “intend,” “may be” and “will be” and similar words or phrases, or the
negative thereof, unless the context requires otherwise, are intended to identify forward-looking
statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to numerous assumptions, risks and
uncertainties, including, but not limited to: in the age-qualified properties, home sales results
could be impacted by the ability of potential homebuyers to sell their existing residences as well
as by financial markets volatility; in the all-age properties, results from home sales and
occupancy will continue to be impacted by local economic conditions, lack of affordable
manufactured home financing, and competition from alternative housing options including site-built
single-family housing; our ability to maintain rental rates and occupancy with respect to
properties currently owned or pending acquisitions; our assumptions about rental and home sales
markets; the completion of pending acquisitions and timing with respect thereto; the effect of
interest rates as well as other risks indicated from time to time in our filings with the SEC.
These forward-looking statements are based on management’s present expectations and beliefs about
future events. As with any projection or forecast, these statements are inherently susceptible to
uncertainty and changes in circumstances. ELS is under no obligation to, and expressly disclaims
any obligation to, update or alter its forward-looking statements whether as a result of such
changes, new information, subsequent events or otherwise.
