Equity Lifestyle Properties, Inc. (NYSE: ELS) Investigation:
“We are investigating the circumstances that led ELS to materially overstate its operating cash flows for nearly the past three years,” said Reed Kathrein, the Hagens Berman partner leading the firm’s investigation.
The firm’s investigation stems from ELS’s Jan. 22, 2024 disclosure that, following its receipt of a comment letter from the SEC, the company determined that investors should no longer rely on certain of its past financial statements.
The same day, ELS filed an amended Form 10-K and amended Form 10-Qs revealing adjustments to its consolidated cash flow statements. These adjustments revealed that ELS had significantly overstated net cash provided by operating activities: (1) for the year ended Dec. 31, 2020 by $49.125mm (or about 11.8%); (2) for the year ended Dec. 31, 2021 by $86.025mm (or about 16.9%); (3) for the year ended Dec. 31, 2022 by $123.522mm (or about 25.9%); and (4) for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 by $35.48mm (or about 22%).
These revelations drove the price of ELS shares significantly lower.
