Apple Hospitality REIT, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Organization
Apple Hospitality REIT, Inc., formed in November 2007 as a Virginia corporation, together with its wholly-owned subsidiaries (the “Company”), is a self-advised real estate investment trust (“REIT”) that invests in income-producing real estate, primarily in the lodging sector, in the United States (“U.S.”). The Company’s fiscal year end is December 31. The Company has no foreign operations or assets, and its operating structure includes only
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations for reporting on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. These unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 (the “2023 Form 10-K”). Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the twelve-month period ending December 31, 2024.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Net Income Per Common Share
Accounting Standards Recently Issued
In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which requires disclosure of significant segment expenses and other segment items on an annual and interim basis and disclosure in interim periods about a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets that are currently required annually. Additionally, it requires disclosure of the title and position of the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) and requires a public entity that has a single reportable segment to provide all disclosures required by the amendments in this ASU and all existing segment disclosures in Topic 280. This ASU does not change how a public entity identifies its operating segments, aggregates them, or applies the quantitative thresholds to determine its reportable segments. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. As of March 31, 2024, the Company has not adopted this ASU. The adoption of this ASU is expected to only impact disclosures with respect to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which focuses on income tax disclosures around effective tax rates and cash income taxes paid. This update requires disclosure, on an annual basis, of a tabular rate reconciliation using both percentages and currency amounts, broken out into specified categories with certain reconciling items further broken out by nature and jurisdiction to the extent those items exceed a specified threshold. In addition, all entities are required to disclose income taxes paid, net of refunds received disaggregated by federal, state/local, and foreign and by jurisdiction if the amount is at least 5% of total income tax payments, net of refunds received. The new standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The amendments in this ASU may be applied prospectively by providing the revised disclosures for the period ending December 31, 2025 and continuing to provide the
7
pre-ASU disclosures for the prior periods, or the amendments may be applied retrospectively by providing the revised disclosures for all periods presented. As of March 31, 2024, the Company has not adopted this ASU. The adoption of this ASU is expected to only impact disclosures with respect to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

5. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Except as described below, the carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments.
Debt
The Company estimates the fair value of its debt by discounting the future cash flows of each instrument at estimated market rates consistent with the maturity of a debt obligation with similar credit terms and credit characteristics, which are Level 3 inputs under the fair value hierarchy. Market rates take into consideration general market conditions and maturity. As of March 31, 2024, both the carrying value and the estimated fair value of the Company’s debt were approximately $
Derivative Instruments
Currently, the Company uses interest rate swaps to manage its interest rate risk on variable-rate debt. Throughout the terms of these interest rate swaps, the Company pays a fixed rate of interest and receives a floating rate of interest equal to the
13
observable market interest rate curves.

6. Related Parties
The Company has engaged in, and is expected to continue to engage in, transactions with related parties. These transactions cannot be construed to be at arm’s length, and the results of the Company’s operations may have been different if these transactions were conducted with non-related parties. There have been no changes to the contracts and relationships discussed in the 2023 Form 10-K. Below is a summary of the significant related party relationships in effect during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.
Glade M. Knight, Executive Chairman of the Company, owns Apple Realty Group, Inc. (“ARG”), which receives support services from the Company and reimburses the Company for the cost of these services as discussed below. Mr. Knight is also

currently a partner and Chief Executive Officer of Energy 11 GP, LLC and Energy Resources 12 GP, LLC, which are the respective general partners of Energy 11, L.P. and Energy Resources 12, L.P., each of which receives support services from ARG.
The Company provides support services, including the use of the Company’s employees and corporate office, to ARG and is reimbursed by ARG for the cost of these services. Under this cost sharing structure, amounts reimbursed to the Company include both compensation for personnel and office related costs (including office rent, utilities, office supplies, etc.) used by ARG. The amounts reimbursed to the Company are based on the actual costs of the services and a good faith estimate of the proportionate amount of time incurred by the Company’s employees on behalf of ARG. Total reimbursed costs allocated by the Company to ARG for the three month periods ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 totaled approximately $
As part of the cost sharing arrangement, certain day-to-day transactions may result in amounts due to or from the Company and ARG.
The Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Apple Air Holding, LLC, owns a Learjet used primarily for acquisition, asset management, renovation, investor, corporate and public relations and other business purposes. The aircraft is also leased to affiliates of the Company based on third-party rates. Lease activity was not significant during the reporting periods.
From time to time, the Company utilizes aircraft, owned by an entity which is owned by the Company’s Executive Chairman, for acquisition, asset management, renovation, investor, corporate and public relations and other business purposes, and reimburses this entity at third-party rates.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Forward-looking statements are typically identified by use of statements that include phrases such as “may,” “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “estimate,” “project,” “target,” “goal,” “plan,” “should,” “will,” “predict,” “potential,” “outlook,” “strategy,” and similar expressions that convey the uncertainty of future events or outcomes. Such statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance, or achievements of Apple Hospitality REIT, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (the “Company”) to be materially different from future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.
Such factors include, but are not limited to, the ability of the Company to effectively acquire and dispose of properties and redeploy proceeds; the anticipated timing and frequency of shareholder distributions; the ability of the Company to fund capital obligations; the ability of the Company to successfully integrate pending transactions and implement its operating strategy; changes in general political, economic and competitive conditions and specific market conditions (including the potential effects of inflation or a recessionary environment); reduced business and leisure travel due to geopolitical uncertainty, including terrorism and acts of war; travel-related health concerns, including widespread outbreaks of infectious or contagious diseases in the U.S.; inclement weather conditions, including natural disasters such as hurricanes, earthquakes and wildfires; government shutdowns, airline strikes or equipment failures, or other disruptions; adverse changes in the real estate and real estate capital markets; financing risks; changes in interest rates; litigation risks; regulatory proceedings or inquiries; and changes in laws or regulations or interpretations of current laws and regulations that impact the Company’s business, assets or classification as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”). Although the Company believes that the assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements contained herein are reasonable, any of the assumptions could be inaccurate, and therefore there can be no assurance that such statements included in this Quarterly Report will prove to be accurate. In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking statements included herein, the inclusion of such information should not be regarded as a representation by the Company or any other person that the results or conditions described in such statements or the objectives and plans of the Company will be achieved. In addition, the Company’s qualification as a REIT involves the application of highly technical and complex provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). Readers should carefully review the risk factors described in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), including but not limited to those discussed in the section titled “Risk Factors” in the 2023 Form 10-K. Any forward-looking statement that the Company makes speaks only as of the date of this Quarterly Report. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements or cautionary factors, as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise, except as required by law.
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto, appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as well as the information contained in the 2023 Form 10-K.
Overview
The Company is a Virginia corporation that has elected to be treated as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The Company is self-advised and invests in income-producing real estate, primarily in the lodging sector, in the U.S. As of March 31, 2024, the Company owned 224 hotels with an aggregate of 29,886 guest rooms located in urban, high-end suburban and developing markets throughout 37 states and the District of Columbia. Substantially all of the Company’s hotels operate under Marriott or Hilton brands. The hotels are operated and managed under separate management agreements with 16 hotel management companies, none of which are affiliated with the Company. The Company’s common shares are listed on the NYSE under the ticker symbol “APLE.”
Recent Hotel Portfolio Activities
The Company continually monitors market conditions and attempts to maximize shareholder value by investing in properties that it believes provide superior value over the long term. Consistent with this strategy and the Company’s focus on investing in rooms-focused hotels, during the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company acquired an existing AC Hotel in Washington, D.C. with 234 guest rooms for a gross purchase price of $116.8 million, utilizing its proceeds from the sale of two properties and borrowings under its Revolving Credit Facility.
As of March 31, 2024, the Company had separate outstanding contracts for the potential purchase of two hotels, consisting of one hotel in Madison, Wisconsin and one hotel in Nashville, Tennessee, for a total combined purchase price of approximately $177.5 million. Both hotels are under development, with the hotel in Madison, Wisconsin currently planned to be completed and opened for business in mid-2024 and the hotel in Nashville, Tennessee currently planned to be completed and opened for business in late 2025, at which respective times the Company expects to complete the purchases of these hotels. If the closings occur, the Company plans to
18
utilize its available cash or borrowings, including borrowings under its unsecured credit facilities available at closing, to purchase the hotels under contract. Although the Company is working towards acquiring these hotels, in each case there are a number of conditions to closing that have not yet been satisfied, and there can be no assurance that closings on these hotels will occur under the outstanding purchase contracts. If the sellers meet all of the conditions to closing, the Company is obligated to specifically perform under the applicable purchase contracts and acquire these hotels. As these hotels are under development, at this time, the sellers have not met all of the conditions to closing.
For its existing portfolio, the Company monitors each property’s profitability, market conditions and capital requirements and attempts to maximize shareholder value by disposing of properties when it believes that superior value can be provided from the sale of the property. As a result, during the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company sold two hotels to an unrelated party for a combined gross sales price of approximately $33.5 million, resulting in a combined gain on the sale of approximately $17.8 million, net of transaction costs. The Company used a portion of the net proceeds from the sale of the two hotels to complete a like-kind exchange, in accordance with Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, for the acquisition of the AC Hotel in Washington, D.C., which was completed in March 2024.
See Note 2 titled “Investment in Real Estate” and Note 3 titled “Dispositions” in the Company’s Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto, appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, for additional information concerning these transactions.
In May 2023, the Company entered into an operating lease for an initial 15-year term with a third-party hotel operator at its independent boutique hotel in New York, New York for all hotel operations of the hotel’s 210 hotel guest rooms. Lease revenue from this property is recorded in other revenue in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. As a result of the lease agreement, this property has been excluded from the Company’s hotel and guest room counts since May 2023. Results of the hotel operations for this property are included only for the period prior to the lease agreement becoming effective in May 2023. The Company has terminated the lease for failure to make lease payments timely, and in April 2024 commenced legal proceedings to remove the tenant from possession of the hotel. The Company intends to enforce its rights under the lease and transition management of the hotel to a third-party manager, however, the timing of the resolution of this matter and the transition of management operations cannot be predicted at this time.
Hotel Operations
As of March 31, 2024, the Company owned 224 hotels with a total of 29,886 guest rooms as compared to 220 hotels with a total of 28,984 guest rooms as of March 31, 2023. Results of operations are included only for the period of ownership for hotels acquired or disposed of during the current reporting period and prior year. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company acquired one existing hotel on March 25, 2024 and sold two properties on February 9, 2024. During the same period of 2023, the Company did not acquire or sell any properties.
In evaluating financial condition and operating performance, the most important indicators on which the Company focuses are revenue measurements, such as average occupancy, average daily rate (“ADR”) and revenue per available room (“RevPAR”), and expenses, such as hotel operating expenses, general and administrative expenses and other expenses described below. RevPAR and operating results may be impacted by regional and local economies and local regulations as well as changes in lodging demand due to macroeconomic factors including inflationary pressures, higher energy prices or a recessionary environment.

As discussed above, hotel performance is impacted by many factors, including the economic conditions in the U.S. as well as each individual locality. Economic indicators in the U.S. have generally been stable. As a result, the Company’s Comparable Hotels and Same Store Hotels revenue and operating results have generally remained unchanged during the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023, which is consistent with the overall lodging industry. The Company expects its RevPAR growth and operating results for its Comparable Hotels for the full year of 2024 to improve compared to its performance during the three months ended March 31, 2024 which was negatively impacted by a challenging Super Bowl comparison (held in the Las Vegas market in 2024, where the Company has 299 guest rooms, and the Phoenix market in 2023, where the Company has 1,403 guest rooms) and timing of the Easter holiday compared to the same period in 2023.
20
Revenues
The Company’s principal source of revenue is hotel revenue consisting of room, food and beverage, and other related revenue. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company had total revenue of $329.5 million and $311.5 million, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, Comparable Hotels achieved combined average occupancy of 72.1% and 72.1%, ADR of $154.10 and $154.08 and RevPAR of $111.09 and $111.14. ADR is calculated as room revenue divided by the number of rooms sold, and RevPAR is calculated as occupancy multiplied by ADR.
Compared to the same period in 2023, during the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company experienced marginal increases in ADR while occupancy remained unchanged, resulting in stable RevPAR for Comparable Hotels. Revenue growth for the three months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to the same period of 2023, was led by the additional hotels acquired in 2023 and was supported by the continued strength in leisure transient and small group demand, with increased demand from corporate business for the portfolio. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, markets with above average growth in the first quarter of 2024, compared to the same period in 2023, for the Company included Las Vegas, Washington, D.C., Houston, Seattle, Richmond, Tucson, Anchorage, and Pittsburgh. Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to the same period of 2023, was negatively impacted by a challenging Super Bowl comparison and timing of the Easter holiday. The Company expects revenue trends to continue, however, future revenues could be negatively impacted by, among other things, historical seasonal trends, deterioration of consumer sentiment, a recessionary macroeconomic environment or inflationary pressures.
Hotel Operating Expense
Hotel operating expense consists of direct room operating expense, hotel administrative expense, sales and marketing expense, utilities expense, repair and maintenance expense, franchise fees and management fees. Hotel operating expense for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 totaled $197.3 million and $185.2 million, respectively, or 59.9% and 59.5% of total revenue for the respective periods, which is consistent with the increase in Comparable Hotels hotel operating expense as a percentage of revenue for the same period. The increase in hotel operating expense for the three months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to the same period in 2023, was due to increased labor costs, repairs and maintenance and sales and marketing costs driven by inflationary pressures throughout the overall economy, partially offset by a decrease in utility costs. The Company continues to feel upward pressure on wage rates given a continued tight labor market with lower unemployment rates, but its management companies have made progress in reducing their use of contract labor. Likewise, broader inflationary pressures throughout the overall economy and global tensions have driven shortages and cost increases for materials and supplies such as food and equipment. The Company continues to work with its management companies to realize operational efficiencies and mitigate the impact of cost pressures resulting from inflation, shortages and staffing challenges. The Company will continue to evaluate and work with its management companies to implement adjustments to the hotel operating model in response to continued changes in the operating environment and guest preferences, including evaluating staffing levels at its hotels to maximize efficiency.
Property Taxes, Insurance and Other Expense
Property taxes, insurance and other expense for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 totaled $21.0 million and $19.7 million, respectively, or 6.4% and 6.3% of total revenue for the respective periods. The increase in property taxes, insurance, and other expense was primarily due to increases in insurance premiums and increases in property taxes in certain locations due to the reassessment of property values by localities related to the improved economy, partially offset by decreases at other locations due to successful appeals of tax assessments. The Company will continue to aggressively appeal tax assessments in certain jurisdictions in an attempt to minimize tax increases, as warranted.
General and Administrative Expense
General and administrative expense for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 was $10.6 million and $11.5 million, respectively, or 3.2% and 3.7% of total revenue for the respective periods. The principal components of general and administrative expense are payroll and related benefit costs, executive incentive compensation, legal fees, accounting fees and reporting expenses. The decrease in general and administrative expense for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to the same period in 2023, was primarily due to decreased accruals for anticipated performance under the Company’s executive incentive compensation plan, partially offset by increased payroll and related benefit costs.
Depreciation and Amortization Expense
Depreciation and amortization expense for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 was $46.8 million and $45.9 million, respectively. Depreciation and amortization expense primarily represents expense of the Company’s hotel buildings and related improvements, and associated personal property (furniture, fixtures, and equipment) for the respective periods owned. The increase of approximately $0.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to the same period in 2023, was primarily due to the acquisitions of one hotel in the second quarter of 2023, five hotels and one free-standing parking garage in the
21
fourth quarter of 2023 and one hotel in the first quarter of 2024, as well as renovations completed throughout 2023 and the first quarter of 2024, partially offset by the sale of two hotels in the first quarter of 2024.
Interest and Other Expense, net
Interest and other expense, net for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 was $17.3 million and $16.0 million, respectively. Interest and other expense, net for both the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, is net of approximately $0.6 million of interest capitalized associated with renovation projects.
Interest expense related to the Company’s debt instruments for the three months ended March 31, 2024 increased compared to the same period of 2023 as a result of higher average borrowings associated with variable-rate debt and higher average interest rates on the Company's variable-rate debt due to the high inflationary environment within the current economy. The Company anticipates interest expense for the remainder of 2024 will be greater than the interest expense for the same period of 2023 as a result of higher borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility to finance recent acquisitions and higher average market interest rates on the Company’s variable-rate debt as interest rates are expected to plateau and then eventually start to decrease at what is anticipated to be a slower rate compared to how quickly they increased throughout 2023. In addition, the proportion of fixed-rate debt will decrease in 2024, as the Company had one interest rate swap in effect on $50.0 million of variable-rate debt mature in the first quarter of 2024 and has five interest rate swaps in effect on $235.0 million of variable-rate debt that mature during the remainder of 2024, resulting in a decrease in the amount of variable-rate debt that is fixed by interest rate swaps. If the Company replaces expiring interest rate swaps in the current interest rate environment with new agreements, the Company anticipates those new agreements to be at higher rates than the expiring swap agreements.
22
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company considers the following non-GAAP financial measures useful to investors as key supplemental measures of its operating performance: Funds from Operations (“FFO”), Modified Funds from Operations (“MFFO”), Earnings Before Interest, Income Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”), Earnings Before Interest, Income Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization for Real Estate (“EBITDAre”), Adjusted EBITDAre (“Adjusted EBITDAre”) and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered along with, but not as alternatives to, net income (loss), cash flow from operations or any other operating GAAP measure. FFO, MFFO, EBITDA, EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDAre and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA are not necessarily indicative of funds available to fund the Company’s cash needs, including its ability to make cash distributions. Although FFO, MFFO, EBITDA, EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDAre and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA, as calculated by the Company, may not be comparable to FFO, MFFO, EBITDA, EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDAre and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA, as reported by other companies that do not define such terms exactly as the Company defines such terms, the Company believes these supplemental measures are useful to investors when comparing the Company’s results between periods and with other REITs.
FFO and MFFO
The Company calculates and presents FFO in accordance with standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“Nareit”), which defines FFO as net income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains and losses from the sale of certain real estate assets (including gains and losses from change in control), extraordinary items as defined by GAAP, and the cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles, plus real estate related depreciation, amortization and impairments, and adjustments for unconsolidated affiliates. Historical cost accounting for real estate assets implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values instead have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, most real estate industry investors consider FFO to be helpful in evaluating a real estate company’s operations. The Company further believes that by excluding the effects of these items, FFO is useful to investors in comparing its operating performance between periods and between REITs that report FFO using the Nareit definition. FFO as presented by the Company is applicable only to its common shareholders, but does not represent an amount that accrues directly to common shareholders.
The Company calculates MFFO by further adjusting FFO for the exclusion of amortization of finance ground lease assets, amortization of favorable and unfavorable operating leases, net and non-cash straight-line operating ground lease expense, as these expenses do not reflect the underlying performance of the related hotels. The Company presents MFFO when evaluating its performance because it believes that it provides further useful supplemental information to investors regarding its ongoing operating performance.
The following table reconciles the Company’s GAAP net income to FFO and MFFO for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 (in thousands):

EBITDA, EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDAre and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA
EBITDA is a commonly used measure of performance in many industries and is defined as net income (loss) excluding interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. The Company believes EBITDA is useful to investors because it helps the Company and its investors evaluate the ongoing operating performance of the Company by removing the impact of its capital structure (primarily interest expense) and its asset base (primarily depreciation and amortization). In addition, certain covenants included in the agreements governing the Company’s indebtedness use EBITDA, as defined in the specific credit agreement, as a measure of financial compliance.
In addition to EBITDA, the Company also calculates and presents EBITDAre in accordance with standards established by Nareit, which defines EBITDAre as EBITDA, excluding gains and losses from the sale of certain real estate assets (including gains and losses from change in control), plus real estate related impairments, and adjustments to reflect the entity’s share of EBITDAre of
23
unconsolidated affiliates. The Company presents EBITDAre because it believes that it provides further useful information to investors in comparing its operating performance between periods and between REITs that report EBITDAre using the Nareit definition.
The Company also considers the exclusion of non-cash straight-line operating ground lease expense from EBITDAre useful, as this expense does not reflect the underlying performance of the related hotels (Adjusted EBITDAre).
The Company further excludes actual corporate-level general and administrative expense for the Company as well as Adjusted EBITDAre from its non-hotel property from Adjusted EBITDAre (Adjusted Hotel EBITDA) to isolate property-level operational performance over which the Company’s hotel operators have direct control. The Company believes Adjusted Hotel EBITDA provides useful supplemental information to investors regarding operating performance and it is used by management to measure the performance of the Company’s hotels and effectiveness of the operators of the hotels.

Related Parties
The Company has engaged in, and is expected to continue to engage in, transactions with related parties. These transactions cannot be construed to be at arm’s length, and the results of the Company’s operations may have been different if these transactions were conducted with non-related parties. See Note 6 titled “Related Parties” in the Company’s Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto, appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, for additional information concerning the Company’s related party transactions.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Capital Resources
The Company’s principal short-term sources of liquidity are the operating cash flows generated from the Company’s properties and availability under its Revolving Credit Facility. Over the long term, the Company may receive proceeds from strategic additional secured and unsecured debt financing, dispositions of its hotel properties and offerings of the Company’s common shares, including pursuant to the Company’s current at-the-market offering program. Macroeconomic pressures, including inflation, increases in interest rates and general market uncertainty, could impact the Company’s ability to raise debt or equity capital to fund long-term liquidity requirements in a cost-effective manner.
30
As of March 31, 2024, the Company had $1.5 billion of total outstanding debt consisting of $280.7 million of mortgage debt and $1.2 billion outstanding under its unsecured credit facilities, excluding unamortized debt issuance costs and fair value adjustments. As of March 31, 2024, the Company had available corporate cash on hand of approximately $4.9 million, and unused borrowing capacity under its Revolving Credit Facility of approximately $519 million.
The credit agreements governing the unsecured credit facilities contain mandatory prepayment requirements, customary affirmative and negative covenants and events of default. The credit agreements require that the Company comply with various covenants, which include, among others, a minimum tangible net worth, maximum debt limits, minimum interest and fixed charge coverage ratios, and restrictions on certain investments. The Company was in compliance with the applicable covenants as of March 31, 2024.
See Note 4 titled “Debt” in the Company’s Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto, appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, for a description of the Company’s debt agreements as of March 31, 2024.
The Company has a universal shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (No. 333-262915) that was automatically effective upon filing on February 23, 2022. The Company may offer an indeterminate number or amount, as the case may be, of (1) common shares, no par value per share; (2) preferred shares, no par value per share; (3) depository shares representing the Company’s preferred shares; (4) warrants exercisable for the Company’s common shares, preferred shares or depository shares representing preferred shares; (5) rights to purchase common shares; and (6) unsecured senior or subordinate debt securities, all of which may be issued from time to time on a delayed or continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act.
In connection with the Company’s current shelf registration statement, on February 23, 2024, the Company entered into an equity distribution agreement pursuant to which the Company may sell, from time to time, up to an aggregate of $500 million of its common shares under ATM Program. No shares were sold under the Company’s ATM Program during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and no common shares were sold during the three months ended March 31, 2024 under the Prior ATM Program, which was terminated in February 2024 in connection with the commencement of the current ATM Program. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company sold approximately 12.8 million common shares under the Prior ATM Program at a weighted-average market sales price of approximately $17.05 per common share and received aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $218.6 million and proceeds net of offering costs, which included $2.6 million of commissions, of approximately $216.0 million. The Company plans to use future net proceeds from the sale of shares under the ATM Program for general corporate purposes which may include, among other things, acquisitions of additional properties, the repayment of outstanding indebtedness, capital expenditures, improvement of properties in its portfolio and working capital. The Company may also use the future net proceeds to acquire another REIT or other company that invests in income producing properties. Future offerings will depend on a variety of factors to be determined by the Company, including market conditions, the trading price of the Company’s common shares and opportunities for uses of any proceeds.
Capital Uses
The Company anticipates that cash flow from operations, availability under its Revolving Credit Facility, additional borrowings, and proceeds from hotel dispositions and equity offerings will be adequate to meet its anticipated liquidity requirements, including required distributions to shareholders, share repurchases, capital improvements, debt service, hotel acquisitions, lease commitments and cash management activities.
Distributions
The Company generally must distribute annually at least 90% of its REIT taxable income, subject to certain adjustments and excluding any net capital gain, in order to maintain its REIT status. On March 18, 2024, the Company declared a monthly cash distribution of $0.08 per common share, paid on April 15, 2024, to shareholders of record as of March 28, 2024. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company paid distributions of $0.29 per common share for a total of $70.2 million. Subsequent to quarter end, on April 18, 2024, the Company declared a monthly cash distribution of $0.08 per common share, payable on May 15, 2024 to shareholders of record as of April 30, 2024.
The Company's current annual distribution rate, payable monthly, is $0.96 per common share. As it has done historically, due to seasonality, the Company may use its Revolving Credit Facility to maintain the consistency of the monthly distribution rate, taking into consideration any acquisitions, dispositions, capital improvements and economic cycles. While management currently expects monthly cash distributions to continue at $0.08 per common share, any distribution will be subject to approval of the Company’s Board of Directors, and there can be no assurance of the classification, timing or duration of distributions at any particular distribution rate. The Board of Directors monitors the Company’s distribution rate relative to the performance of its hotels on an ongoing basis and may make adjustments to the distribution rate as determined to be prudent in relation to other cash requirements of the Company or to the extent required to maintain REIT status. If cash flows from operations and the Revolving Credit Facility are not adequate to meet liquidity requirements, the Company may utilize additional financing sources to make distributions. Although the Company has
31
relatively low levels of debt, there can be no assurance it will be successful with this strategy, and it may need to reduce its distributions to minimum levels required to maintain its qualification as a real estate investment trust. If the Company were unable to extend its maturing debt in future periods or if it were to default on its debt, it may be unable to make distributions.
Share Repurchases
In May 2023, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a one-year extension of its existing Share Repurchase Program, authorizing share repurchases up to an aggregate of $338.7 million. The Share Repurchase Program may be suspended or terminated at any time by the Company and will end in July 2024 if not terminated or extended earlier. The Company previously entered into and expects to continue to enter into written trading plans as part of the Share Repurchase Program that provides for share repurchases in open market transactions that is intended to comply with Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act. The Company did not repurchase any shares during the three months ended March 31, 2024. Past repurchases under the Share Repurchase Program have been funded, and the Company intends to fund future repurchases, with cash on hand or availability under its unsecured credit facilities, subject to applicable restrictions under the Company’s unsecured credit facilities (if any). The timing of share repurchases and the number of common shares to be repurchased under the Share Repurchase Program will also depend upon prevailing market conditions, regulatory requirements and other factors. As of March 31, 2024, approximately $335.4 million remained available for purchase under the Share Repurchase Program.
Capital Improvements
Management routinely monitors the condition and operations of its hotels and plans renovations and other improvements as it deems prudent. The Company is committed to maintaining and enhancing each property’s competitive position in its market. The Company has invested in and plans to continue to reinvest in its hotels. Under certain loan and management agreements, the Company is required to place in escrow funds for the repair, replacement and refurbishing of furniture, fixtures, and equipment, based on a percentage of gross revenues, provided that such amount may be used for the Company’s capital expenditures with respect to the hotels. As of March 31, 2024, the Company held approximately $27.7 million in reserves related to these properties. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company invested approximately $20.3 million in capital expenditures. The Company anticipates spending approximately $75 million to $85 million during 2024, which includes various comprehensive renovation projects for approximately 20 properties, however, inflationary pressures or supply chain shortages, among other issues, may result in increased costs and delays for anticipated projects. The Company does not currently have any existing or planned projects for new property development.
Upcoming Debt Maturities and Debt Service Payments
As of March 31, 2024, the Company had approximately $184.9 million of principal and interest payments due on its debt over the next 12 months. Included in this total is an $85.0 million term loan and a mortgage loan of approximately $20.1 million, both maturing in the third quarter of 2024. The Company plans to pay outstanding amounts and service payments due upon the upcoming debt maturity dates using funds from operations, borrowings under its Revolving Credit Facility and/or proceeds from new financing or refinancing the maturing debt. The Company may also pursue amendments with its lenders to extend the maturity date of any expiring loans. Interest expense related to the Company’s unsecured credit facilities is expected to be higher over the next 12 months than it was during the previous 12 months as a result of increases in market interest rates on its variable-rate debt and increased borrowings on its Revolving Credit Facility. In addition, the proportion of fixed-rate debt will decrease over the next 12 months, as the Company had one interest rate swap in effect on $50.0 million of variable-rate debt mature in the first quarter of 2024 and has five interest rate swaps in effect on $235.0 million of variable-rate debt that mature during the remainder of 2024, resulting in a decrease in the amount of variable-rate debt that is fixed by interest rate swaps. If the Company replaces expiring interest rate swaps in the current interest rate environment with new agreements, the Company anticipates those new agreements to be at higher rates than the expiring swap agreements. See Note 4 titled “Debt” in the Company’s Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto, appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for more detail regarding future maturities of the Company’s debt instruments as of March 31, 2024.
Purchase Contract Commitments
As of March 31, 2024 the Company had separate outstanding contracts for the potential purchase of two hotels, consisting of one hotel in Madison, Wisconsin and one hotel in Nashville, Tennessee, for a total combined purchase price of approximately $177.5 million. Both hotels are under development, with the hotel in Madison, Wisconsin currently planned to be completed and opened for business in mid-2024 and the hotel in Nashville, Tennessee currently planned to be completed and opened for business in late 2025, at which respective times the Company expects to complete the purchases of these hotels. If the closings occur, the Company plans to utilize its available cash or borrowings, including borrowings under its unsecured credit facilities available at closing, to purchase the hotels under contract. Although the Company is working towards acquiring these hotels, in each case there are a number of conditions to closing that have not yet been satisfied, and there can be no assurance that closings on these hotels will occur under the outstanding purchase contracts. If the sellers meet all of the conditions to closing, the Company is obligated to specifically perform under the
32
applicable purchase contracts and acquire these hotels. As these hotels are under development, at this time, the sellers have not met all of the conditions to closing.
Cash Management Activities
As part of the cost sharing arrangements discussed in Note 6, titled “Related Parties” in the Company’s Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto, appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, certain day-to-day transactions may result in amounts due to or from the Company and ARG. To efficiently manage cash disbursements, the Company or ARG may make payments for the other company. Under the cash management process, each company may advance or defer up to $1 million at any time. Each quarter, any outstanding amounts are settled between the companies. This process allows each company to minimize its cash on hand and reduces the cost for each company. The amounts outstanding at any point in time are not significant to either of the companies.
Impact of Inflation
The Company relies on the performance of its hotels and the ability of its hotel operators to increase revenue to keep pace with inflation. Hotel operators, in general, possess the ability to adjust room rates daily to reflect the effects of inflation on the Company's operating expenses. However, competitive pressures could limit the operators’ ability to raise room rates and, as a result, the Company may not be able to offset increased operating expenses with increases in revenue.
Business Interruption
Being in the real estate industry, the Company is exposed to natural disasters on both a local and national scale. Although management believes the Company has adequate insurance to cover this exposure, there can be no assurance that such events will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
Seasonality
The hotel industry historically has been seasonal in nature. Seasonal variations in occupancy at the Company’s hotels may cause quarterly fluctuations in its revenues. Generally, occupancy rates and hotel revenues for the Company’s hotels are greater in the second and third quarters than in the first and fourth quarters. To the extent that cash flow from operations is insufficient during any quarter due to temporary or seasonal fluctuations in revenue, the Company expects to utilize cash on hand or available financing sources to meet cash requirements.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of the Company’s financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the Company’s financial statements, the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods and the related disclosures in the Company’s Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto. The Company has discussed those policies and estimates that it believes are critical and require the use of complex judgment in their application in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 22, 2024. There have been no material changes to the Company’s critical accounting policies or the methods or assumptions applied.
Subsequent Events
On April 15, 2024, the Company paid approximately $19.4 million, or $0.08 per common share, in distributions to shareholders of record as of March 28, 2024.
On April 18, 2024, the Company declared a monthly cash distribution of $0.08 per common share. The distribution is payable on May 15, 2024, to shareholders of record as of April 30, 2024.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
As of March 31, 2024, the Company’s financial instruments were not exposed to significant market risk due to foreign currency exchange risk, commodity price risk or equity price risk. However, the Company is exposed to interest rate risk due to possible changes in short-term interest rates as it invests its cash or borrows on its Revolving Credit Facility and due to the portion of its variable-rate term debt that is not fixed by interest rate swaps. As of March 31, 2024, after giving effect to interest rate swaps, as described below, approximately $331.0 million, or approximately 22% of the Company’s total debt outstanding, was subject to variable interest rates. Based on the Company’s variable-rate debt outstanding as of March 31, 2024, every 100 basis points change in interest rates will impact the Company’s annual net income by approximately $3.3 million, all other factors remaining the same. With the exception of interest rate swap transactions, the Company has not engaged in transactions in derivative financial instruments or derivative commodity instruments.
As of March 31, 2024, the Company’s variable-rate debt consisted of its unsecured credit facilities, including borrowings outstanding under its Revolving Credit Facility and $1.0 billion of term loans. Currently, the Company uses interest rate swaps to manage its interest rate risk on a portion of its variable-rate debt. As of March 31, 2024, the Company had 13 interest rate swap agreements that effectively fix the interest payments on approximately $770.0 million of the Company’s variable-rate debt outstanding with swap maturity dates ranging from June 2024 to December 2029. Under the terms of all of the Company’s interest rate swaps, the Company pays a fixed rate of interest and receives a floating rate of interest equal to the annual rate of the one-month SOFR plus a 0.10% SOFR spread adjustment. See Note 5 titled “Fair Value of Financial Instruments” in the Company’s Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto, appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, for a description of the Company’s interest rate swaps as of March 31, 2024.
In addition to its variable-rate debt and interest rate swaps discussed above, the Company has assumed or originated fixed interest rate mortgages payable to lenders under permanent financing arrangements as well as two fixed-rate senior notes facilities totaling $125 million. The following table summarizes the annual maturities and average interest rates of the Company’s mortgage debt and borrowings outstanding under its unsecured credit facilities at March 31, 2024. All dollar amounts are in thousands.
