DIAMONDROCK HOSPITALITY COMPANY
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
1. Organization
DiamondRock Hospitality Company (the “Company” or “we”) is a lodging-focused real estate company that owns a portfolio of premium hotels and resorts. As of June 30, 2025, we owned 36 hotels with 9,595 guest rooms. Our hotels are concentrated in major urban markets and destination resort locations, and more than 60 % of our hotels are operated under a brand owned by one of the leading global lodging brand companies (Marriott International, Hilton Worldwide, or IHG Hotels & Resorts). We are an owner, as opposed to an operator, of the hotels in our portfolio. As an owner, we receive all of the operating profits or losses generated by our hotels after we pay fees to the hotel managers and hotel brands, which are based on the revenues and profitability of the hotels.
We are a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes. We conduct our business through a traditional umbrella partnership real estate investment trust, or UPREIT, in which our hotel properties are owned by our operating partnership, DiamondRock Hospitality Limited Partnership, or subsidiaries of our operating partnership. The Company is the sole general partner of our operating partnership and owned 99.5 % of the limited partnership units (“common OP units”) of our operating partnership as of June 30, 2025. The remaining 0.5 % of the common OP units are held by third parties and executive officers of the Company. See Note 8 for additional disclosures related to common OP units.
2.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2024-03 ("ASU 2024-03"), Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, requiring public entities to disclose additional information about specific expense categories in the notes to the financial statements on an interim and annual basis. ASU 2024-03 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2024-03.

Mortgage Debt
-9-
We have incurred limited recourse, property specific mortgage debt secured by certain of our hotels. In the event of default, the lender may only foreclose on the secured assets; however, in the event of fraud, misapplication of funds or other customary recourse provisions, the lender may seek payment from us. On May 6, 2025, we repaid the Worthington Renaissance Fort Worth Hotel mortgage loan using cash on hand. As of June 30, 2025, two of our 36 hotels were secured by mortgage loans which mature in July and November 2025. On July 2, 2025, the Company drew $60.0 million on its existing revolving credit facility, the proceeds from which were used to repay the Hotel Clio mortgage loan on its maturity date of July 3, 2025. The $60.0 million drawn on the existing revolving credit facility was repaid on July 22, 2025.
Our mortgage debt contains certain property specific covenants and restrictions, including minimum debt service coverage
ratios or debt yields that trigger “cash trap” provisions, as well as restrictions on incurring additional debt without lender consent. Such cash trap provisions are triggered when the hotel’s operating results fall below a certain debt service coverage ratio or debt yield. When these provisions are triggered, all of the excess cash flow generated by the hotel is deposited directly into cash management accounts for the benefit of our lenders until a specified debt service coverage ratio or debt yield is reached and maintained for a certain period of time. Such provisions do not provide the lender with the right to accelerate repayment of the underlying debt. We had no cash traps in effect as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
Senior Unsecured Credit Facility and Unsecured Term Loans
As of June 30, 2025, we were party to a Sixth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) that provided us with a $400.0 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility and two term loan facilities in the aggregate amount of $800.0 million. The revolving credit facility was scheduled to mature on September 27, 2026, which we could extend for an additional year upon the payment of applicable fees and satisfaction of certain standard conditions. The term loan facilities consisted of a $500.0 million term loan maturing on January 3, 2028 and a $300.0 million term loan maturing January 3, 2026. We had the right to increase the aggregate amount of the facilities to $1.4 billion upon the satisfaction of certain standard conditions.
Subsequent to the end of the quarter, on July 22, 2025, we entered into the Seventh Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Amended Credit Facility”). The Amended Credit Facility increased the size of the Company’s existing credit facility from $1.2 billion to $1.5 billion and extended its maturity schedule. The Amended Credit Facility provides for a $400.0 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) and three term loan facilities in the aggregate amount of $1.1 billion. The Revolving Credit Facility matures on January 22, 2030. The term loan facilities consist of a $500.0 million term loan that matures on January 3, 2028 (the “Term 1 Loan”), a $300.0 million term loan that matures January 22, 2030 (the “Term 2 Loan”) and a $300.0 million term loan that matures on January 22, 2029 (the “Term 3 Loan”). The maturity date of the Revolving Credit Facility, Term 1 Loan and Term 3 Loan may be extended for two additional six-month periods upon the payment of applicable fees and satisfaction of certain standard conditions. The Company also has the right to increase the aggregate capacity of the Amended Credit Facility to $1.8 billion upon the satisfaction of certain standard conditions.
The $300.0 million upsizing of the Amended Credit Facility fully funds the repayment of the Company’s three mortgage loans that matured or will mature in 2025. The mortgage loans secured by the Worthington Renaissance Fort Worth Hotel and the Hotel Clio, which together had a principal balance totaling approximately $125.0 million, were repaid on their respective maturity dates in May 2025 and July 2025 prior to the closing of the Amended Credit Facility. The Company intends to prepay the mortgage loan secured by the Westin Boston Seaport District in September 2025. Following this repayment, the Company will have no debt maturities until January 2028 and its portfolio will be fully unencumbered by secured debt.
As of June 30, 2025, interest was paid on the periodic advances on the revolving credit facility and amounts outstanding on the term loans at varying rates, based upon the adjusted Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”), as defined in the Credit Agreement and Amended Credit Facility, plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin is based upon our leverage ratio, as follows:
-10-
| Leverage Ratio | Applicable Margin for Revolving Loans | Applicable Margin for Term Loans | ||||||||||||
| Less than 30% | ||||||||||||||
| Greater than or equal to 30% but less than 35% | ||||||||||||||

_____________________________
(1)Leverage ratio is net indebtedness, as defined in the Credit Agreement, divided by total asset value, defined in the Credit Agreement as the value of our owned hotels based on hotel net operating income divided by a defined capitalization rate.

Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount. During 2025, such derivatives were used to hedge the variable cash flows associated with variable-rate debt.
The table below details the location in the consolidated financial statements of the gains and losses recognized related to derivative financial instruments (in thousands):
| Three Months Ended June 30, | Six Months Ended June 30, | |||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Interest (income) for derivatives that were designated as cash flow hedges | Interest expense | $ | ( | $ | ( | $ | ( | $ | ( | |||||||||||||||||
During the next 12 months, we estimate that $1.5 million will be reclassified from other comprehensive income as a decrease to interest expense.

The fair value of certain financial assets and liabilities and other financial instruments are as follows (in thousands):
| June 30, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | ||||||||||||||||||||||
Carrying Amount (1) | Fair Value | Carrying Amount (1) | Fair Value | ||||||||||||||||||||
| Debt | $ | $ | $ | $ | |||||||||||||||||||
_______________
(1)The carrying amount of debt is net of unamortized debt issuance costs.
The fair value of our debt is a Level 2 measurement under the fair value hierarchy. We estimate the fair value of our debt by discounting the future cash flows of each instrument at estimated market rates.
The fair value of our interest rate swaps is a Level 2 measurement under the fair value hierarchy. We estimate the fair value of the interest rate swaps based on the interest rate yield curve and implied market volatility as inputs and adjusted for the counterparty's credit risk. We concluded the inputs for the credit risk valuation adjustment are Level 3 inputs; however these inputs are not significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.
8. Equity
Common Shares
-12-
We are authorized by our charter to issue up to 400 million shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share. Each outstanding share of common stock entitles the holder to one vote on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders. Holders of our common stock are entitled to receive dividends out of assets legally available for the payment of dividends when authorized by our board of directors.
In August 2024, our board of directors approved an “at-the-market” equity offering program (the “ATM Program”), pursuant to which we may issue and sell shares of our common stock from time to time, having an aggregate offering price of up to $200.0 million. No shares were sold under the ATM Program during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025.
Our board of directors has authorized the repurchase of up to $200.0 million of our common stock under a share repurchase program. The timing and actual number of shares repurchased will depend on a variety of factors, including price and general business and market conditions. The share repurchase program does not obligate us to acquire any particular amount of shares, and may be suspended or discontinued at any time at our discretion. The share repurchase program will expire on May 1, 2026. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, we repurchased 3,097,942 shares of common stock at an average price of $7.64 per share for a total purchase price of $23.7 million under this program. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we repurchased 2,454,307 shares of common stock at an average price of $8.39 per share for a total purchase price of $20.6 million under this program. Subsequent to June 30, 2025, we repurchased 466,919 shares of common stock at an average price of $7.64 per share for a total purchase price of $3.6 million under this program. As of August 7, 2025, we have $146.8 million of authorized capacity remaining under the share repurchase program.
Preferred Shares
We are authorized by our charter to issue up to 10 million shares of preferred stock, $0.01 par value per share. Our board of directors is required to set for each class or series of preferred stock the terms, preferences, conversion or other rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to dividends or other distributions, qualifications, and terms or conditions of redemption.
As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there were 4,760,000 8.250 25.00 25.00
Operating Partnership Units
In connection with our acquisition of Cavallo Point, The Lodge at the Golden Gate in December 2018, we issued 796,684 common OP units to third parties, otherwise unaffiliated with the Company, then valued at $11.76 per unit. Each common OP unit is redeemable at the option of the holder. Holders of common OP units have certain redemption rights, which enable them to cause our operating partnership to redeem their units in exchange for cash per unit equal to the market price of our common stock, at the time of redemption, or, at our option, for shares of our common stock on a one -for-one basis, subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of stock splits, mergers, consolidations or similar pro-rata share transactions. As of June 30, 2025, there were 421,244 common OP units still outstanding; the other 375,440 common OP units issued in connection with the acquisition have been converted to common stock.
Long-Term Incentive Partnership units (“LTIP units”), which are also referred to as profits interest units, may be issued to eligible participants under the 2024 Equity Incentive Plan for the performance of services to or for the benefit of our operating partnership. LTIP units are a class of partnership unit in our operating partnership and will receive, whether vested or not, the same per-unit distributions as the outstanding common OP units, which equal per-share dividends on shares of our common stock. Initially, LTIP units have a capital account balance of zero, do not receive an allocation of operating income (loss), and do not have full parity with common OP units with respect to liquidating distributions. If such parity is reached, vested LTIP units are converted into an equal number of common OP units, and thereafter will possess all of the rights and interests of common OP units, including the right to exchange the common OP units for cash per unit equal to the market price of our common stock, at the time of redemption, or, at our option, for shares of our common stock on a one -for-one basis, subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of stock splits, mergers, consolidations or similar pro-rata share transactions. See Note 9 for additional disclosures related to LTIP units.
There were 1,027,145 and 994,653 common OP units held by third parties and executive officers of the Company as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. There were 107,635 and 140,127 unvested LTIP units outstanding as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

9. Equity Incentive Plans
We are authorized to issue up to 7,900,000 shares of our common stock under our 2024 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2024 Plan"), of which we have issued or committed to issue 2,578,905 shares as of June 30, 2025. Shares underlying awards that are granted under the 2024 Plan that are forfeited, cancelled, reacquired prior to vesting, satisfied without the issuance of stock or otherwise terminated (other than by exercise), including shares tendered or held back upon settlement of an award, other than a stock option or stock appreciation right, to cover the tax withholding will be added back to the shares available for issuance under the 2024 Plan.
Restricted Stock Awards
Restricted stock awards issued to our officers and employees generally vest over a to five year period from the date of grant based on continued employment. We measure compensation expense for the restricted stock awards based upon the fair market value of our common stock at the date of grant. Compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period and is included in corporate expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. A summary of our restricted stock awards from January 1, 2025 to June 30, 2025 is as follows:
| Number of Shares | Weighted- Average Grant Date Fair Value | ||||||||||
| Unvested balance at January 1, 2025 | $ | ||||||||||
| Granted | |||||||||||
| Vested | ( | ||||||||||
| Unvested balance at June 30, 2025 | $ | ||||||||||
The total unvested restricted stock awards as of June 30, 2025 are expected to vest as follows: 7,986 during the remainder of 2025, 401,192 during 2026, 271,928 during 2027, 167,332 during 2028, and 1,261 during 2029. As of June 30, 2025, the unrecognized compensation cost related to restricted stock awards was $5.9 million and the weighted-average period over which the unrecognized compensation expense will be recorded is approximately 27 months. We recorded $0.8 million and $1.5 million of compensation expense related to restricted stock awards for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively. We recorded $2.9 million and $3.9 million of compensation expense related to restricted stock awards for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, which included $2
Performance Stock Units
-14-
Performance stock units (“PSUs”) are restricted stock units that generally vest years from the date of grant. Each executive officer is granted a target number of PSUs (the “PSU Target Award”). For PSUs granted in 2025, the actual number of shares of common stock issued to each executive officer is based on the Company's achievement of certain levels of total stockholder return relative to the total stockholder return of a peer group of publicly-traded lodging REITs measured over a -year performance period. There is no payout of shares of our common stock if our total stockholder return falls below the 30 th percentile of the total stockholder returns of the peer group. The maximum number of shares of common stock issued to an executive officer is equal to 300 % of the PSU Target Award and is earned if our total stockholder return is equal to or greater than the 90 th percentile of the total stockholder returns of the peer group. There are limitations on the number of PSUs earned if the Company's total stockholder return is negative for the performance period.
We measure compensation expense for the PSUs based upon the fair market value of the award at the grant date. Compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period and is included in corporate expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. The grant date fair value is determined using a Monte Carlo simulation performed by a third-party valuation firm. The determination of the grant-date fair values of our PSUs included the following assumptions:

(1)The number of shares of common stock earned for the PSUs vested in 2025 was equal to 99.29 % of the PSU Target Award.
The total unvested PSUs as of June 30, 2025 are expected to vest as follows: 37,548 during the remainder of 2025, 386,590 during 2026, 418,776 during 2027, and 614,378 during 2028. The number of shares earned upon vesting is subject to the attainment of the performance targets described above. As of June 30, 2025, the unrecognized compensation cost related to the PSUs was $6.9 million and is expected to be recognized on a straight-line basis over a weighted average period of 28 months. We recorded $0.8 million and $1.3 million of compensation expense related to the PSUs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively. We recorded $2.5 million and $3.4 million of compensation expense related to the PSUs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, which included $1.8
LTIP Units
LTIP units are designed to offer executives a long-term incentive comparable to restricted stock, while potentially allowing them a more favorable income tax treatment. Each year, executives have the option to elect to receive their annual grant of share-based compensation as either LTIP units or restricted stock awards. Each LTIP unit awarded is deemed equivalent to an award of one share of common stock reserved under the 2016 Plan or 2024 Plan, as applicable. At the time of
-15-
award, LTIP units do not have full economic parity with common OP units, but can achieve such parity over time upon the occurrence of specified events in accordance with partnership tax rules.

11. Segment Reporting
We have one reportable segment, which is hotel ownership. The hotel ownership segment is mostly comprised of upper upscale and luxury chain scale hotels that offer hotel rooms, food and beverage and other ancillary guest services. The Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) is the Executive Committee which includes: 1) the Chief Executive
-16-
Officer, 2) the President and Chief Operating Officer, 3) the Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer & Treasurer, and 4) the Senior Vice President, General Counsel & Corporate Secretary.
The CODM evaluates the hotel ownership segment primarily based on hotel adjusted earnings (loss) before interest income and expense, taxes and depreciation and amortization (“Hotel Adjusted EBITDA”). The CODM uses Hotel Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate the ongoing operational performance of our hotels and effectiveness of the third-party management companies operating our business on a property-level basis, in order to make informed decisions on how to allocate resources. Hotel Adjusted EBITDA is also used to monitor budget versus actual results. The monitoring of budgeted versus actual results are used in assessing performance of the segment and in establishing management’s compensation. Hotel Adjusted EBITDA, presented herein, is calculated as EBITDA from hotel operations, adjusted to exclude the following items that are not reflective of our ongoing operating performance or incurred in the normal course of business, and thus excluded from the CODM’s analysis in making day-to-day operating decisions:
▪Non-cash lease expense and other amortization
▪Cumulative effect of a change in accounting principles
▪Gains or losses from early extinguishment of debt
▪Hotel acquisition costs
▪Severance costs
▪Hotel manager transition items
▪Hotel pre-opening costs
▪Impairment losses, gains or losses on asset sales and casualty gains or losses; and
▪Other items that we believe are not representative of our current or future operating performance.

12. Commitments and Contingencies
Litigation
-18-
We are subject to various claims, lawsuits and legal proceedings, including routine litigation arising in the ordinary course of business regarding the operation of our hotels and other Company matters. While it is not possible to ascertain the ultimate outcome of such matters, management believes that the aggregate amount of such liabilities, if any, in excess of amounts covered by insurance will not have a material adverse impact on our financial condition or results of operations and comprehensive income. The outcome of claims, lawsuits and legal proceedings brought against the Company, however, is subject to significant uncertainties.

Overview
DiamondRock Hospitality Company is a lodging-focused Maryland corporation operating as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As of June 30, 2025, we owned a portfolio of 36 premium hotels and resorts that contain 9,595 guest rooms located in 26 different markets in the United States. The markets that we target are those that we believe align with our strategic objectives, which include investing in assets in destination markets with constrained supply trends, those that provide geographic diversity relative to our existing portfolio, and those markets that are considered to have high growth potential.
-20-
As an owner, rather than an operator, of lodging properties, we receive all of the operating profits or losses generated by our hotels after the payment of fees due to hotel managers and hotel brands, which are calculated based on the revenues and profitability of each hotel.
Our strategy is to apply aggressive asset management, prudent financial strategy, and disciplined capital allocation to high quality lodging properties in U.S. urban and resort markets with superior growth prospects and high barriers-to-entry. Our goal is to deliver long-term stockholder returns that exceed those generated by our peers through a combination of dividends and enduring capital appreciation.
Our primary business is to acquire, own, renovate and asset manage premium hotel properties in the United States. Our portfolio is concentrated in major urban markets and destination resort locations. All of our hotels are managed by a third party—either an independent operator or a brand operator, such as Marriott.
We critically evaluate each of our hotels to ensure that we own a portfolio of hotels that conforms to our vision, supports our mission and corresponds with our strategy. On a regular basis, we analyze our portfolio to identify opportunities to invest capital in certain projects or market non-core assets for sale to increase our portfolio quality. We are committed to a conservative capital structure with prudent leverage. We regularly assess the availability and affordability of capital in order to maximize stockholder value and minimize enterprise risk. In addition, we are committed to following sound corporate governance practices and to being open and transparent in our communications with our stockholders.
Our Revenues and Expenses
Our revenue is primarily derived from hotel operations, including but not limited to, rooms revenue, food and beverage revenue and other operating revenue, which consists of parking, spa, resort fees, other guest services, and tenant leases.
Our operating costs and expenses consist of the costs to provide hotel services, including rooms expense, food and beverage expense, other departmental and support expenses, management and franchise fees, and other property-level expenses. Rooms expense includes housekeeping and front office wages and payroll taxes, room supplies, laundry services and other costs. Food and beverage expense includes the cost of food, beverages, and associated labor costs. Other departmental and support expenses include labor and other costs associated with the other operating department revenue, as well as labor and other costs associated with administrative departments, sales and marketing, information technology systems, repairs and maintenance and utility costs. Our hotels that are subject to franchise agreements are charged a royalty fee, plus additional fees for marketing, central reservation systems and other franchisor costs, in order for the hotel properties to operate under the respective brands. Franchise fees are based on a percentage of room revenue, and for certain hotels, additional franchise fees are charged for food and beverage revenue. We enter into management agreements with independent third-party management companies to operate our hotels. The management companies typically earn base and incentive management fees based on the levels of revenues and profitability of each individual hotel. Other property-level expenses include property taxes, insurance, ground lease expense, and other fixed costs.
Key Indicators of Financial Condition and Operating Performance
We use a variety of operating and other information to evaluate the financial condition and operating performance of our business. These key indicators include financial information that is prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“U.S. GAAP”), as well as other financial information that is not prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In addition, we use other information that may not be financial in nature, including statistical information and comparative data. We use this information to measure the performance of individual hotels, groups of hotels and/or our business as a whole. We periodically compare historical information to our internal budgets as well as industry-wide information. These key indicators include:
•Occupancy percentage;
•Average Daily Rate (“ADR”);
•Rooms Revenue per Available Room (“RevPAR”);
•Earnings Before Interest, Income Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”), Earnings Before Interest, Income Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization for real estate (“EBITDAre”), Adjusted EBITDA, and Hotel Adjusted EBITDA; and
-21-
•Funds From Operations (“FFO”) and Adjusted FFO.
Occupancy, ADR and RevPAR are commonly used measures within the hotel industry to evaluate operating performance. RevPAR, which is calculated as the product of ADR and occupancy percentage, is an important statistic for monitoring operating performance at the individual hotel level and across our business as a whole. We evaluate individual hotel RevPAR performance on an absolute basis with comparisons to budget and prior periods, as well as on a company-wide and regional basis. ADR and RevPAR include only room revenue. Room revenue comprised approximately 64% of our total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and is dictated by demand, as measured by occupancy percentage, pricing, as measured by ADR, and our available supply of hotel rooms.
Our ADR, occupancy percentage and RevPAR performance may be impacted by macroeconomic factors such as U.S. economic conditions generally, inflation, interest rates, tariffs, regional and local employment growth, personal income and corporate earnings, office vacancy rates and business relocation decisions, airport and other business and leisure travel, increased use of lodging alternatives, new hotel construction and the pricing strategies of our competitors. In addition, our ADR, occupancy percentage and RevPAR performance is dependent on the continued success of our hotels' global brands.
We also use EBITDA, EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDA, Hotel Adjusted EBITDA, FFO and Adjusted FFO as measures of the financial performance of our business. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for further discussion on these financial measures.
Outlook
Like other companies in our industry, we are subject to changes in the macroeconomic, political, and regulatory environments and the impacts of recently implemented and newly proposed tariffs. These factors have contributed to a decline in leisure transient and international travel to the United States. We continue to monitor the potential favorable or unfavorable impacts of these and other factors on our business, operations, financial condition, future results of operations and cash flow, which are dependent on future developments, including as a result of those risk factors discussed elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 and the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2025.

Rooms revenues decreased by $5.3 million from the three months ended June 30, 2024 to the three months ended June 30, 2025, $5.8 million of which was from the non-comparable properties. The offsetting increase of $0.5 million was due to growth in the group and business transient segments, partially offset by lower leisure transient revenue.
The following are key hotel operating statistics for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024. The 2024 operating statistics reflect the period in 2024 comparable to our ownership period in 2025 for the non-comparable properties.

Other revenues, which primarily represent spa, parking, resort fees and attrition and cancellation fees, increased by $1.0 million from the three months ended June 30, 2024 to the three months ended June 30, 2025, $0.2 million of which was from the non-comparable properties. The remaining increase of $0.8 million was primarily due to an increase in resort fees and to a lesser extent, spa and parking revenues.

Our hotel operating expenses increased $0.1 million from the three months ended June 30, 2024 to the three months ended June 30, 2025. A decrease of $4.8 million from the non-comparable properties was more than offset by higher property tax assessments primarily related to our Chicago properties.
Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization on our hotel buildings is generally recorded over a 40-year period subsequent to acquisition. Depreciable lives of hotel furniture, fixtures and equipment are estimated as the time period between the acquisition date and the date that the hotel furniture, fixtures and equipment will be replaced. Our depreciation and amortization expense remained approximately flat from the three months ended June 30, 2024 to the three months ended June 30, 2025.
Corporate expenses. Corporate expenses principally consist of employee-related costs, including payroll, bonus, restricted stock and benefits. Corporate expenses also include corporate operating costs, professional fees and directors' fees. Our corporate expenses decreased $19.1 million from the three months ended June 30, 2024 to the three months ended June 30, 2025, primarily due to severance expense recognized during the three months ended June 30, 2024, in connection with the leadership changes made in April 2024.
Interest expense. Our interest expense decreased $1.3 million from the three months ended June 30, 2024 to the three months ended June 30, 2025 and was comprised of the following (dollars in thousands):

The decrease in interest expense is primarily due to the maturities of the mortgage loans secured by the Courtyard New York Manhattan/Midtown East in the third quarter of 2024 and the Worthington Renaissance Fort Worth Hotel in the second quarter of 2025, as well as a lower SOFR rate in 2025.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our short-term liquidity requirements consists primarily of funds necessary to pay our scheduled debt service, near term debt maturities, operating expenses, ground lease payments, capital expenditures directly associated with our hotels, any share repurchases, distributions to our common and preferred stockholders, and the cost of acquiring additional hotels.
As of June 30, 2025, we had two mortgage loans with maturities in July and November of 2025. On July 3, 2025, we repaid the mortgage loan secured by the Hotel Clio, using proceeds from our senior unsecured revolving credit facility. We subsequently repaid the draw on our senior unsecured revolving credit facility using the proceeds from our Amended Credit Facility. In addition, we plan to use proceeds from our Amended Credit Facility to repay the remaining mortgage loan that matures in November 2025. As of June 30, 2025, we had $400.0 million of borrowing capacity under our senior unsecured revolving credit facility.
Our mortgage debt agreements contain “cash trap” provisions that are triggered when the hotel’s operating results fall below a certain debt service coverage ratio. When these provisions are triggered, all of the excess cash flow generated by the hotel is deposited directly into cash management accounts for the benefit of our lenders until a specified debt service coverage ratio is reached and maintained for a certain period of time. Such provisions do not allow the lender the right to accelerate repayment of the underlying debt. We had no cash traps in effect as of June 30, 2025.
Our long-term liquidity requirements consist primarily of funds necessary to pay for the costs of acquiring additional hotels, renovations and other capital expenditures that need to be made periodically to our hotels, scheduled debt payments, debt maturities, certain redemptions of limited operating partnership units (“common OP units”), ground lease payments, share repurchases, and making distributions to our common and preferred stockholders. We expect to meet our long-term liquidity requirements through various sources of capital, including cash provided by operations, borrowings, issuances of additional equity, including common OP units, and/or debt securities and proceeds from property dispositions. Our ability to incur additional debt is dependent upon a number of factors, including the state of the credit markets, our degree of leverage, the value of our unencumbered assets and borrowing restrictions imposed by existing lenders. Our ability to raise capital through the issuance of additional equity and/or debt securities is also dependent on a number of factors including the current state of the capital markets, investor sentiment and our intended use of proceeds. We may need to raise additional capital if we identify acquisition opportunities that meet our investment objectives and require liquidity in excess of existing cash balances. Our ability to raise funds through the issuance of equity securities depends on, among other things, general market conditions for hotel companies and REITs and market perceptions about us.

Our Financing Strategy
Since our formation in 2004, we have been committed to a conservative capital structure with prudent leverage. Our outstanding debt consists of fixed interest rate mortgage debt, unsecured term loans and periodic borrowings on our senior unsecured credit facility. We have a preference to maintain a significant portion of our portfolio as unencumbered in order to provide balance sheet flexibility. We expect that our strategy will enable us to maintain a balance sheet with an appropriate amount of debt throughout all phases of the lodging cycle. We believe that it is prudent to reduce the inherent risk of highly cyclical lodging fundamentals through a low leverage capital structure.
We prefer a relatively simple, but efficient capital structure. We generally structure our hotel acquisitions to be straightforward and to fit within our capital structure; however, we will consider a more complex transaction, such as the issuance of common OP units in connection with the acquisition of Cavallo Point, The Lodge at the Golden Gate, if we believe that the projected returns to our stockholders will significantly exceed the returns that would otherwise be available.
We believe that we maintain a reasonable amount of debt. As of June 30, 2025, we had $1.0 billion of debt outstanding with a weighted average interest rate of 5.17% and a weighted average maturity date of approximately 1.4 years. As of June 30, 2025, 34 of our 36 hotels were unencumbered by mortgage debt. On July 3, 2025, we repaid the mortgage loan secured by the Hotel Clio, using proceeds from our senior unsecured revolving credit facility. On July 22, 2025, we entered into the Amended Credit Facility, which increased the size of the our existing facility from $1.2 billion to $1.5 billion and extended our maturity schedule. We utilized a portion of the incremental $300 million of proceeds under the Amended Credit Facility to repay the outstanding amount on our senior unsecured revolving credit facility, that had been drawn to payoff the mortgage loan secured by the Hotel Clio. We intend to prepay the mortgage loan secured by the Westin Boston Seaport District in September 2025. Following this repayment, we will have no debt maturities until January 2028 and our portfolio will be fully unencumbered by secured debt. We remain committed to our core strategy of prudent leverage.
Information about our financing activities is available in Note 5 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
ATM Program
In August 2024, our board of directors approved an “at-the-market” equity offering program (the “ATM Program”), pursuant to which we may issue and sell shares of our common stock from time to time, having an aggregate offering price of up to $200.0 million. We did not sell any shares under the ATM Program during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.
Share Repurchase Program
On May 1, 2024, our board of directors authorized the repurchase of up to $200.0 million of our common stock under a share repurchase program. The timing and actual number of shares repurchased will depend on a variety of factors, including price and general business and market conditions. The share repurchase program does not obligate us to acquire any particular amount of shares, and may be suspended or discontinued at any time at our discretion. The share repurchase program will expire on May 1, 2026. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, we repurchased 3,097,942 shares of common stock at an average price of $7.64 per share for a total purchase price of $23.7 million under this program. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we repurchased 2,454,307 shares of common stock at an average price of $8.39 per share for a total purchase price of $20.6 million under this program. Subsequent to June 30, 2025, we repurchased 466,919 shares of common stock at an average price of $7.64 per share for a total purchase price of $3.6 million under this program. As of August 7, 2025, we have $146.8 million of authorized capacity remaining under the share repurchase program.
Short-Term Borrowings
We currently do not utilize short-term borrowings to meet liquidity requirements.
Senior Unsecured Credit Facility and Unsecured Term Loans
As of June 30, 2025, we were party to a Sixth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement that provided us with a $400.0 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility and two term loan facilities in the aggregate amount of $800.0 million. The revolving credit facility was scheduled to mature on September 27, 2026, subject to customary extension options. The term loan facilities consisted of a $500.0 million term loan maturing on January 3, 2028 and a $300.0 million term loan maturing on January 3, 2026. We had the right to increase the aggregate amount of the facilities to $1.4 billion upon the satisfaction of certain standard conditions. As of June 30, 2025, we had $400.0 million of borrowing capacity under our senior unsecured

revolving credit facility. On July 2, 2025, we drew $60.0 million on our senior unsecured revolving credit facility, which was subsequently repaid.
On July 22, 2025, we entered into the Seventh Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, which provides us with a $400.0 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility and three term loan facilities in the aggregate amount of $1.1 billion The revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Credit Facility") matures on January 22, 2030. The term loan facilities consist of a $500.0 million term loan that matures on January 3, 2028 (the “Term 1 Loan”), a $300.0 million term loan that matures on January 22, 2030 (the “Term 2 Loan”) and a $300.0 million term loan that matures on January 22, 2029 (the “Term 3 Loan”). The maturity date of the Revolving Credit Facility, Term 1 Loan and Term 3 Loan may be extended for two additional six-month periods upon the payment of applicable fees and satisfaction of certain standard conditions.
Additional information about the credit facilities, including a summary of significant covenants, can be found in Note 5 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
Sources and Uses of Cash
As of June 30, 2025, we had $52.4 million of unrestricted cash, $51.2 million of restricted cash and no outstanding borrowings on our senior unsecured credit facility.
Our net cash provided by operations was $101.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. Our cash from operations generally consists of the net cash flow from hotel operations, offset by cash paid for corporate expenses, interest payments, and other working capital changes.
Our net cash provided by investing activities was $47.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, which consisted of capital expenditures at our hotels offset by the proceeds from the sale of the Westin Washington, D.C. City Center.
Our net cash used in financing activities was $174.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, which consisted of $71.1 million of mortgage debt repayments, $65.3 million of distributions paid to holders of common stock and common OP units, $23.7 million of shares repurchased under our share repurchase program, $4.9 million paid to repurchase shares upon the vesting of restricted stock for the payment of tax withholding obligations, $4.9 million of distributions paid to holders of preferred stock, $3.8 million of scheduled mortgage debt principal payments and $0.5 million of financing costs.
We currently anticipate our significant source of cash for the remainder of the year ending December 31, 2025 will be the net cash flow from hotel operations, potential dispositions, and proceeds from a debt refinancing. We expect our estimated uses of cash for the remainder of the year ending December 31, 2025 will be mortgage loan maturities, potential acquisitions, scheduled debt service payments, capital expenditures, distributions to preferred and common stockholders, share repurchases and corporate expenses.
Dividend Policy
We intend to distribute to our stockholders dividends at least equal to our REIT taxable income to avoid paying corporate income tax and excise tax on our earnings (other than the earnings of our taxable REIT subsidiaries, which are all subject to tax at regular corporate rates) and to qualify for the tax benefits afforded to REITs under the Code. In order to qualify as a REIT under the Code, we generally must make distributions to our stockholders each year in an amount equal to at least:
•90% of our REIT taxable income determined without regard to the dividends paid deduction and excluding net capital gains, plus
•90% of the excess of our net income from foreclosure property over the tax imposed on such income by the Code, minus
•any excess non-cash income.
The timing and frequency of distributions will be authorized by our board of directors and declared by us based upon a variety of factors, including our financial performance, restrictions under applicable law and our current and future loan agreements, our debt service requirements, our capital expenditure requirements, the requirements for qualification as a REIT under the Code and other factors that our board of directors may deem relevant from time to time.
During 2025, we have paid the following dividends to holders of our common stock:

Capital Expenditures
The management and franchise agreements for each of our hotels provide for the establishment of separate property improvement reserves to cover, among other things, the cost of replacing and repairing furniture, fixtures and equipment at our hotels and other routine capital expenditures. Contributions to the property improvement fund are calculated as a percentage of hotel revenues. In addition, we may be required to pay for the cost of certain additional improvements that are not permitted to be funded from the property improvement fund under the applicable management or franchise agreement. As of June 30, 2025, we have set aside $48.4 million for capital projects in property improvement reserves, which are included in restricted cash on our consolidated balance sheets.
We have invested approximately $41.3 million on capital improvements at our hotels during the six months ended June 30, 2025. In 2025, we expect to spend between $85.0 to $95.0 million on capital improvements at our hotels. Significant projects currently planned for 2025 include the following:
•Hilton Garden Inn New York / Times Square Central: The Company completed a renovation of the hotel's guestrooms during the first quarter of 2025.
•Sedona Repositioning: The Company commenced the repositioning of Orchards Inn as the Cliffs at L'Auberge on November 1, 2024. The repositioning will integrate the hotel with the adjacent L'Auberge de Sedona and includes construction of a new hillside pool and path connecting the two properties, renovation of the guestrooms and creation of a new arrival experience and new outdoor event space. The renovation of the guestrooms, arrival experience and event space was completed in May 2025. The Company expects to complete the pool and path project in the third quarter of 2025, after which the two properties will operate as one resort.
•Kimpton Hotel Palomar Phoenix: The Company commenced a renovation of the hotel's guestrooms during the second quarter of 2025, which is expected to be completed in September 2025.
•Courtyard New York Manhattan/Midtown East: The Company expects to commence a renovation of the hotel's guestrooms during the fourth quarter of 2025.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We use the following non-GAAP financial measures that we believe are useful to investors as key measures of our operating performance: EBITDA, EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDA, Hotel Adjusted EBITDA, FFO and Adjusted FFO. These measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance in accordance with U.S. GAAP. EBITDA, EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDA, Hotel Adjusted EBITDA, FFO and Adjusted FFO, as calculated by us, may not be comparable to other companies that do not define such terms exactly as the Company.
Use and Limitations of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Our management and Board of Directors use EBITDA, EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDA, Hotel Adjusted EBITDA, FFO and Adjusted FFO to evaluate the performance of our hotels and to facilitate comparisons between us and other lodging REITs, hotel owners who are not REITs and other capital intensive companies. The use of these non-GAAP financial measures has certain limitations. These non-GAAP financial measures, as presented by us, may not be comparable to non-GAAP financial measures as calculated by other real estate companies. These measures do not reflect certain expenses or expenditures that we incurred and will incur, such as depreciation, interest and capital expenditures. We compensate for these limitations by
-30-
separately considering the impact of these excluded items to the extent they are material to operating decisions or assessments of our operating performance. Our reconciliations to the most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures, and our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income and consolidated statements of cash flows, include interest expense, capital expenditures, and other excluded items, all of which should be considered when evaluating our performance, as well as the usefulness of our non-GAAP financial measures.
These non-GAAP financial measures are used in addition to and in conjunction with results presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. They should not be considered as alternatives to operating profit, cash flow from operations, or any other operating performance measure prescribed by U.S. GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures reflect additional ways of viewing our operations that we believe, when viewed with our U.S. GAAP results and the reconciliations to the corresponding U.S. GAAP financial measures, provide a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business than could be obtained absent this disclosure. We strongly encourage investors to review our financial information in its entirety and not to rely on a single financial measure.
EBITDA and EBITDAre
EBITDA represents net income (calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP), excluding: (1) interest expense; (2) provision for income taxes, including income taxes applicable to sale of assets; and (3) depreciation and amortization. The Company computes EBITDAre in accordance with the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“Nareit”) guidelines, as defined in its September 2017 white paper “Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization for Real Estate.” EBITDAre represents net income (calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP), adjusted for: (1) interest expense; (2) provision for income taxes, including income taxes applicable to sale of assets; (3) depreciation and amortization; (4) gains or losses on the disposition of depreciated property including gains or losses on change of control; (5) impairment write-downs of depreciated property and of investments in unconsolidated affiliates caused by a decrease in value of depreciated property in the affiliate; and (6) adjustments to reflect the entity's share of EBITDAre of unconsolidated affiliates.
We believe EBITDA and EBITDAre are useful to an investor in evaluating our operating performance because they help investors evaluate and compare the results of our operations from period to period by removing the impact of our capital structure (primarily interest expense) and our asset base (primarily depreciation and amortization, and in the case of EBITDAre, impairment and gains or losses on dispositions of depreciated property) from our operating results. In addition, covenants included in our debt agreements use EBITDA as a measure of financial compliance. We also use EBITDA and EBITDAre as measures in determining the value of hotel acquisitions and dispositions.
FFO
The Company computes FFO in accordance with standards established by Nareit, which defines FFO as net income (calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP) excluding gains or losses from sales of properties and impairment losses, plus real estate related depreciation and amortization. The Company believes that the presentation of FFO provides useful information to investors regarding its operating performance because it is a measure of the Company's operations without regard to specified non-cash items, such as real estate related depreciation and amortization and gains or losses on the sale of assets. The Company also uses FFO as one measure in assessing its operating results.
Adjustments to EBITDAre and FFO
We adjust EBITDAre and FFO when evaluating our performance because we believe that the exclusion of certain additional items described below provides useful supplemental information to investors regarding our ongoing operating performance and that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted FFO when combined with U.S. GAAP net income, EBITDAre and FFO, is beneficial to an investor's complete understanding of our consolidated and property-level operating performance. We adjust EBITDAre and FFO for the following items:
•Non-Cash Lease Expense and Other Amortization: We exclude the non-cash expense incurred from the straight line recognition of expense from our ground leases and other contractual obligations and the non-cash amortization of our favorable and unfavorable contracts, originally recorded in conjunction with certain hotel acquisitions. We exclude these non-cash items because they do not reflect the actual cash amounts due to the respective lessors in the current period and they are of lesser significance in evaluating our actual performance for that period.
•Cumulative Effect of a Change in Accounting Principle: The Financial Accounting Standards Board promulgates new accounting standards that require or permit the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income to reflect the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle. We exclude the effect of these adjustments,
-31-
which include the accounting impact from prior periods, because they do not reflect the Company’s actual underlying performance for the current period.
•Gains or Losses from Early Extinguishment of Debt: We exclude the effect of gains or losses recorded on the early extinguishment of debt because these gains or losses result from transaction activity related to the Company’s capital structure that we believe are not indicative of the ongoing operating performance of the Company or our hotels.
•Hotel Acquisition Costs: We exclude hotel acquisition costs expensed during the period because we believe these transaction costs are not reflective of the ongoing performance of the Company or our hotels.
•Severance Costs: We exclude corporate severance costs, or reversals thereof, incurred with the termination of corporate-level employees and severance costs incurred at our hotels related to lease terminations or structured severance programs because we believe these costs do not reflect the ongoing performance of the Company or our hotels.
•Hotel Manager Transition and Hotel Pre-Opening Costs: We exclude the transition costs associated with a change in hotel manager and the pre-opening costs associated with the redevelopment or rebranding of a hotel because we believe these items do not reflect the ongoing performance of the Company or our hotels.
•Share-Based Compensation Expense: We exclude share-based compensation expense as it is a non-cash item. This adjustment aligns with the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA for our financial covenant ratios under our credit facility, supporting consistency in our financial reporting and covenant compliance, as well as comparability with our peers.
•Other Items: From time to time we incur costs or realize gains that we consider outside the ordinary course of business and that we do not believe reflect the ongoing performance of the Company or our hotels. Such items may include, but are not limited to, the following: non-cash realized gains or losses on our deferred compensation plan assets; management or franchise contract termination fees; terminated transaction costs; gains or losses from legal settlements; costs incurred related to natural disasters; and gains on property insurance claim settlements, other than income related to business interruption insurance.
In addition, to derive Adjusted FFO, we exclude any unrealized fair value adjustments to interest rate swaps and the portion of our non-cash ground lease expense recognized as interest expense. We exclude these non-cash amounts because they do not reflect the underlying performance of the Company.
Hotel Adjusted EBITDA
We believe that Hotel Adjusted EBITDA provides our investors a useful financial measure to evaluate our hotel operating performance, excluding the impact of our capital structure (primarily interest), our asset base (primarily depreciation and amortization), and our corporate-level expenses. With respect to Hotel Adjusted EBITDA, we believe that excluding the effect of corporate-level expenses provides a more complete understanding of the operating results over which individual hotels and third-party management companies have direct control. We believe property-level results provide investors with supplemental information on the ongoing operational performance of our hotels and effectiveness of the third-party management companies operating our business on a property-level basis. Hotel Adjusted EBITDA margins are calculated as Hotel Adjusted EBITDA divided by total hotel revenues.

Critical Accounting Estimates and Policies
Our unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of DiamondRock Hospitality Company and all consolidated subsidiaries. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make
-33-
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities at the date of our financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. While we do not believe the reported amounts would be materially different, application of these policies involves the exercise of judgment and the use of assumptions as to future uncertainties and, as a result, actual results could differ materially from these estimates. We evaluate our estimates and judgments, including those related to the impairment of long-lived assets, on an ongoing basis. We base our estimates on experience and on various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. All of our significant accounting policies, including certain critical accounting policies, are disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. There have been no significant changes to our critical accounting policies since the year ended December 31, 2024.
Inflation
Operators of hotels, in general, possess the ability to adjust room rates daily to reflect the effects of inflation. Generally, our management companies may adjust room rates daily, excluding previous contractually committed reservations. However, competitive pressures or other factors may limit the ability of our management companies to raise room rates. Inflation may also affect our expenses and cost of capital improvements, including, without limitation, by increasing the costs of labor, employee-related benefits, food, commodities and other materials, taxes, property and casualty insurance and utilities.
During the first half of 2025, inflation remained above the Federal Reserve’s long-term target, though it has moderated from the peak levels observed in recent years. The Federal Reserve maintained its benchmark interest rate during the first half of the year, signaling a cautious approach to future rate cuts as it monitors ongoing inflation trends. Any increases in interest rates, especially if coupled with reduced government spending and volatility in financial markets, may have the effect of further increasing economic uncertainty, and increasing the cost of new indebtedness and servicing our outstanding variable rate debt.
Seasonality
The periods during which our hotels experience higher revenues vary from property to property, depending principally upon location and the customer base served. Accordingly, we expect some seasonality in our business. Volatility in our financial performance from the seasonality of the lodging industry could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
Supplemental U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations
The following discussion supplements and updates the disclosures under the heading “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations” in the prospectus dated August 5, 2024, contained in our Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-281236) filed with the SEC on August 5, 2024 (the “S-3 Tax Disclosure”) and as supplemented by the disclosures under the headings “Supplemental Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations” and “Risk Factors” on the Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 28, 2025 (together with the S-3 Tax Disclosure, the “Existing Tax Disclosure”). Capitalized terms herein that are not otherwise defined shall have the same meaning as when used in the Existing Tax Disclosure.
On July 4, 2025, H.R. 1, informally known as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the “OBBB”), was enacted. The OBBB makes significant changes to the Code, including some provisions of the Code that affect the taxation of REITs and their investors. In particular,
•For taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2026, the OBBB increased the allowable percentage of a REIT’s assets that can consist of securities of taxable REIT subsidiaries, providing that not more than 25% (increased from 20%) of the gross value of a REIT’s assets may be represented by securities of one or more taxable REIT subsidiaries.
•The OBBB permanently extended the pass-through qualified business income deduction, generally allowing individuals to deduct 20% of the aggregate amount of ordinary REIT dividends distributed by a REIT. This deduction was due to expire for tax years beginning after December 31, 2025.
Additionally, the OBBB made certain changes to provisions of the Code regarding “global intangible low-tax income” or “GILTI.” Although in the past we may have been subject to those rules, we no longer have any non-U.S. taxable REIT subsidiaries and do not currently expect to be subject to the regime in the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the section of the S-3 Tax Disclosure entitled “Global Intangible Low-Tax Income” is hereby deleted.
To the extent the information set forth in the Existing Tax Disclosure is inconsistent with this supplemental information, this supplemental information supersedes the information in the Existing Tax Disclosure. This supplemental information is
-34-
provided on the same basis and subject to the same qualifications as are set forth in the S-3 Tax Disclosure as if those paragraphs were set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
-35-
Item 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Market risk includes risks that arise from changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices, equity prices and other market changes that affect market sensitive instruments. In pursuing our business strategies, the primary market risk to which we are currently exposed, and to which we expect to be exposed in the future, is interest rate risk. The face amount of our outstanding debt as of June 30, 2025 was $1.0 billion, of which $0.8 billion had a variable interest rate. Our primary sensitivity in 2025 is to changes in one-month Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”), as the interest rates on our variable-rate indebtedness were based on this benchmark rate. We use interest rate swaps in order to maintain what we believe to be an appropriate level of exposure to interest rate variability. As of June 30, 2025, the interest rate on $325 million of our variable-rate indebtedness had been effectively fixed through the use of interest rate swaps. We receive one-month SOFR and pay a fixed rate for all of our interest rate swaps. If market interest rates on our unhedged variable rate debt fluctuate by 100 basis points, interest expense would increase or decrease, depending on rate movement, future earnings and cash flows, by $4.8 million annually.
Item 4.Controls and Procedures
The Company’s management has evaluated, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as required by paragraph (b) of Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, and has concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to give reasonable assurances that information we disclose in reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.
There was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act during the Company’s most recent fiscal quarter that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1.Legal Proceedings
We are subject to various claims, lawsuits and legal proceedings, including routine litigation arising in the ordinary course of business regarding the operation of our hotels and other company matters. While it is not possible to ascertain the ultimate outcome of such matters, management believes that the aggregate amount of such liabilities, if any, in excess of amounts covered by insurance will not have a material adverse impact on our financial condition or results of operations. The outcome of claims, lawsuits and legal proceedings brought against the Company, however, is subject to significant uncertainties.
Item 1A.Risk Factors
There have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
