NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

  1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

On January 1, 2013, Ryman Hospitality Properties, Inc. (“Ryman”) and its subsidiaries (collectively with Ryman, the “Company”) began operating as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for federal income tax purposes, specializing in group-oriented, destination hotel assets in urban and resort markets. The Company’s owned assets include a network of upscale, meetings-focused resorts that are managed by Marriott International, Inc. (“Marriott”) under the Gaylord Hotels and JW Marriott brands. The five Gaylord Hotels resorts, which the Company refers to as the Gaylord Hotels properties, consist of the Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center in Nashville, Tennessee (“Gaylord Opryland”), the Gaylord Palms Resort & Convention Center near Orlando, Florida (“Gaylord Palms”), the Gaylord Texan Resort & Convention Center near Dallas, Texas (“Gaylord Texan”), the Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center near Washington D.C. (“Gaylord National”), and the Gaylord Rockies Resort & Convention Center near Denver, Colorado (“Gaylord Rockies”). The two JW Marriott resorts, which the Company refers to as the JW Marriott properties, consist of the JW Marriott San Antonio Hill Country Resort & Spa (“JW Marriott Hill Country”) and, effective June 10, 2025, the JW Marriott Phoenix Desert Ridge Resort & Spa (“JW Marriott Desert Ridge”). The Company’s other owned hotel assets managed by Marriott include the Inn at Opryland, an overflow hotel adjacent to Gaylord Opryland, and the AC Hotel at National Harbor, Washington D.C. (“AC Hotel”), an overflow hotel adjacent to Gaylord National.

The Company also owns an approximate 70% controlling equity interest in OEG Attractions Holdings, LLC, a business comprised of a number of entertainment and media assets, known as the Opry Entertainment Group (“OEG”), which the Company reports as its Entertainment segment. These assets include the Grand Ole Opry, the legendary weekly showcase of country music’s finest performers; the Ryman Auditorium, the storied live music venue and former home of the Grand Ole Opry; WSM-AM, the Opry’s radio home; Ole Red, a brand of Blake Shelton-themed bar, music venue and event spaces; Category 10, a brand of Luke Combs-themed bar, music venue and event spaces that opened in Nashville, Tennessee in November 2024, with an additional location expected to open in Las Vegas, Nevada in late 2026; Block 21, a mixed-use entertainment, lodging, office, and retail complex located in Austin, Texas (“Block 21”); and as of January 3, 2025, a majority and controlling equity interest in Southern Entertainment, a Charlotte, North Carolina-based national music festival and events production company.

The Company consolidates the assets, liabilities and results of operations of OEG in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. The portion of OEG that the Company does not own is recorded as noncontrolling interest in Opry Entertainment Group, which is classified as mezzanine equity in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets, and any adjustment necessary to reflect the noncontrolling interest at its redemption value is shown in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of equity and noncontrolling interest. See Note 4, “Income Per Share,” for further disclosure.

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Ryman and its subsidiaries and have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted from this report pursuant to such rules and regulations. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the results of operations for the interim periods have been included. All adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature. The results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year because of seasonal and short-term variations.

Newly Issued Accounting Standards

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-07, “Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures,” requiring public entities to provide disclosures of significant segment expenses and other segment items, as well as to provide in interim periods all disclosures about a 8

Table of Contents reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets that were previously required annually. The Company retrospectively adopted this guidance for fiscal year 2024 and has retrospectively adopted for interim periods beginning in fiscal year 2025. This adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, “Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures,” requiring public entities to provide additional information in the rate reconciliation, to disclose annually income taxes paid disaggregated by federal, state and foreign taxes and to disaggregate the information by jurisdiction based on a quantitative threshold. The guidance is applied prospectively, but with the option to apply retrospectively, and will be effective for the Company for fiscal year 2025. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU but does not anticipate this adoption to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, “Expense Disaggregation Disclosures,” requiring public entities to disclose, on an annual and interim basis, disaggregated information about certain income statement line items, including employee compensation, purchases of inventory, depreciation, intangible asset amortization and depletion for each income statement line item that includes those expenses. The guidance is applied prospectively, but with the option to apply retrospectively, and will be effective for the Company for fiscal year 2027. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU but does not anticipate this adoption to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

2. JW MARRIOTT DESERT RIDGE TRANSACTION:

On June 10, 2025, the Company purchased JW Marriott Desert Ridge for approximately $865 million. Situated on approximately 402 acres of Arizona’s Sonoran Desert, JW Marriott Desert Ridge is a premier group-oriented resort with 950 rooms and approximately 243,000 total square feet of indoor and outdoor meeting and event space. The resort’s amenities include a 28,000 square-foot spa; seven food and beverage outlets; a 140,000 square-foot water experience; and two 18-hole golf courses. The Company funded the purchase price with a portion of the approximately $275.5 million in net proceeds of an underwritten registered public offering of approximately 3.0 million shares of the Company’s common stock (see Note 14, “Equity”) and approximately $614 million in net proceeds of a private placement of $625 million aggregate principal amount of 6.50% senior notes due 2033 (see Note 8, “Debt”). JW Marriott Desert Ridge assets are reflected in the Company’s Hospitality segment beginning June 10, 2025.

The Company performed a valuation of the fair value of the acquired assets and liabilities as of June 10, 2025. The valuations of the various components of property and equipment were determined principally based on the cost approach, which uses assumptions regarding replacement values from established indices. The valuation of intangible assets was based on various methods to evaluate the value of a below market ground lease and the values of advanced bookings previously received for the hotel. The Company considers each of these estimates as Level 3 fair value measurements.

The Company determined that the acquisition represents an asset acquisition and has capitalized transaction costs and allocated the purchase price to the relative fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, adjusted for working capital adjustments as set forth in the purchase agreement and transaction costs, in the Company’s balance sheet at June 10, 2025 as follows (amounts in thousands):

Property and equipment $ 747,377

As more fully discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, although currently not exercisable, the minority investor of OEG has certain put rights (the “OEG Put Rights”) to require the Company to purchase the minority investor’s equity interest in OEG, which the Company may pay in cash or Company stock at the Company’s option. The Company calculated potential dilution for the OEG Put Rights based on the if-converted method, which assumes the OEG Put Rights were converted on the first day of the period or the date of issuance and the minority investor’s noncontrolling equity interest was redeemed in exchange for shares of the Company’s common stock.

The operating partnership units (“OP Units”) held by the noncontrolling interest holders in RHP Hotel Properties, LP (the “Operating Partnership”) have been excluded from the denominator of the diluted income per share calculation for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 as there would be no effect on the calculation of diluted income per share because the income or loss attributable to the OP Units held by the noncontrolling interest holders would also be added or subtracted to derive net income available to common stockholders.

  1. NOTES RECEIVABLE:

As further discussed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, in connection with the development of Gaylord National, the Company holds two issuances of governmental bonds (“Series A bond” and “Series B bond”) with a total carrying value and approximate fair value of $52.4 million and $57.8 million at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, net of credit loss reserve of $38.0 million at each of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. The Company receives debt service and principal payments thereon, payable from property tax increments, hotel taxes and special hotel rental taxes generated from Gaylord National through the maturity dates of July 1, 2034 and September 1, 2037, respectively. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis to the extent that such amounts are expected to be collected. During the periods presented, the Company has accrued interest only on the Series A bond.

The Company has the intent and ability to hold these bonds to maturity. The Company’s quarterly assessment of credit losses considers the estimate of projected tax revenues that will service the bonds over their remaining terms. These tax revenue projections are updated each quarter to reflect updated industry projections as to future anticipated operations of the hotel. As a result of reduced tax revenue projections over the life of the bonds as well as certain cumulative priority 12

Table of Contents payments due to others, the Series B bond is fully reserved. The Series A bond is of higher priority than other tranches which fall between the Company’s two issuances.

During the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company recorded interest income of $1.0 million and $1.1 million, respectively, and during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company recorded interest income of $3.3 million and $3.5 million, respectively, on these bonds. The Company received payments of $8.8 million during each of the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 relating to these notes receivable.

At September 30, 2025, there were no defaults under the covenants related to the Company’s outstanding debt.

$625 Million 6.50% Senior Notes due 2033

On June 4, 2025, the Operating Partnership and RHP Finance Corporation (collectively, the “issuing subsidiaries”) completed the private placement of $625.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 6.50% senior notes due 2033 (the “$625 Million 6.50% Senior Notes”), which are guaranteed by the Company and its subsidiaries that guarantee the Credit Agreement.

The $625 Million 6.50% Senior Notes and guarantees were issued pursuant to an indenture by and among the issuing subsidiaries, the guarantors and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee. The $625 Million 6.50% Senior Notes have a maturity date of June 15, 2033 and bear interest at 6.50% per annum, payable semi-annually in cash in arrears on June 15 and December 15 each year, beginning on December 15, 2025. The $625 Million 6.50% Senior Notes are general unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of the issuing subsidiaries and rank equal in right of payment with such subsidiaries’ existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness, including the Company’s $700 million in aggregate principal amount of 4.75% senior notes due 2027, $400 million in aggregate principal amount of 7.25% senior notes due 2028, $600 million in aggregate principal amount of 4.50% senior notes due 2029, and $1 billion in aggregate principal amount of 6.50% senior notes due 2032, and senior in right of payment to future subordinated indebtedness, if any. 13

Table of Contents The $625 Million 6.50% Senior Notes are effectively subordinated to the issuing subsidiaries’ secured indebtedness, including the Operating Partnership’s existing credit facility, to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness and structurally subordinated to all indebtedness and other obligations of the Operating Partnership’s subsidiaries that do not guarantee the $625 Million 6.50% Senior Notes. The guarantees rank equally in right of payment with the applicable guarantor’s existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness and senior in right of payment to any future subordinated indebtedness of such guarantor. The $625 Million 6.50% Senior Notes are effectively subordinated to any secured indebtedness of any guarantor to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness and structurally subordinated to all indebtedness and other obligations of the Operating Partnership’s subsidiaries that do not guarantee the $625 Million 6.50% Senior Notes.

The net proceeds from the issuance of the $625 Million 6.50% Senior Notes totaled approximately $614 million, after deducting the initial purchasers’ discounts, commissions and offering expenses. The Company used these net proceeds to fund a portion of the purchase price for JW Marriott Desert Ridge discussed in Note 2.

The $625 Million 6.50% Senior Notes are redeemable before June 15, 2028, in whole or in part, at 100.00%, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not including, the redemption date, plus a make-whole premium. The $625 Million 6.50% Senior Notes will be redeemable, in whole or in part, at any time on or after June 15, 2028 at a redemption price expressed as a percentage of the principal amount thereof, which percentage is 103.250%, 101.625%, and 100.000% beginning on June 15 of 2028, 2029, and 2030, respectively, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not including, the redemption date.

OEG Credit Facility

On April 28, 2025, certain OEG subsidiaries borrowed an incremental term loan in an aggregate principal amount of $130 million (the “Incremental OEG Loan”) on the same terms as the existing term loan under the OEG credit facility. The net proceeds of the Incremental OEG Loan, together with cash on hand, were used to defease the non-recourse term loan secured by a mortgage on Block 21. As increased by the Incremental OEG Loan, the OEG credit facility consists of (i) a senior secured term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount equal to $428.5 million and (ii) a senior secured revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $80.0 million. No changes were made to the applicable interest rates or maturity date of any indebtedness under the OEG credit facility. In addition, the terms of the Incremental OEG Loan confirm that the annual amortization under the OEG term loan is approximately 1% of the refinanced $428.5 million outstanding principal amount, with the balance due at maturity.

Block 21 CMBS Loan

In connection with the purchase of Block 21 in May 2022, a subsidiary of the Company assumed the $136 million, ten-year, non-recourse loan secured by a mortgage on Block 21 (the “Block 21 CMBS Loan”). The proceeds of the Incremental OEG Loan described above were used to defease the Block 21 CMBS Loan in full in April 2025.

Interest Rate Derivatives

The Company has entered into interest rate swaps to manage interest rate risk associated with a portion of the OEG term loan. These swaps have been designated as cash flow hedges whereby the Company receives variable-rate amounts in exchange for fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying principal amount. The Company does not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes and currently does not hold any derivatives that are not designated as hedges.

For derivatives designated as and that qualify as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk, the gain or loss on the derivative is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss and subsequently reclassified to interest expense in the same period during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. These amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive loss will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on the related variable-rate debt. The Company estimates that $0.6 million will be reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss to a decrease in interest expense in the next twelve months. 14

Reclassifications from accumulated other comprehensive loss for interest rate swaps are shown in the table above and included in interest expense. Total consolidated interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 was $64.9 million and $54.5 million, respectively, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 was $177.7 million and $171.6 million, respectively.

At September 30, 2025, the fair value of derivatives in a net liability position including accrued interest but excluding any adjustment for nonperformance risk related to these agreements was $0.1 million. As of September 30, 2025, the Company has not posted any collateral related to these agreements and was not in breach of any agreement provisions. If the Company had breached any of these provisions, it could have been required to settle its obligations under the agreements at the aggregate termination value of $0.1 million. In addition, the Company has an agreement with its derivative counterparty that contains a provision whereby the Company could be declared in default on its derivative obligations if repayment of the underlying indebtedness is accelerated by the lender due to the Company’s default on the indebtedness.

  1. DEFERRED MANAGEMENT RIGHTS PROCEEDS:

On October 1, 2012, the Company consummated its agreement to sell the Gaylord Hotels brand and rights to manage the Gaylord Hotels properties (the “Management Rights”) to Marriott for $210.0 million in cash. Effective October 1, 2012, Marriott assumed responsibility for managing the day-to-day operations of the Gaylord Hotels properties pursuant to a management agreement for each Gaylord Hotel property. The Company allocated $190.0 million of the purchase price to 15

For financial accounting purposes, the amount related to the Management Rights was deferred and is amortized on a straight-line basis over the 65-year term of the hotel management agreements, including extensions, as a reduction in management fee expense.

  1. LEASES:

The Company is a lessee of a 65.3-acre site in Osceola County, Florida on which Gaylord Palms is located; a 234-acre site in Maricopa County, Arizona on which a portion of JW Marriott Desert Ridge is located; building or land leases for Ole Red Gatlinburg, Ole Red Orlando, Ole Red Tishomingo, Ole Red Nashville International Airport, Ole Red Las Vegas and Category 10 Las Vegas; and various warehouse, general office and other equipment leases. The Gaylord Palms land lease has a term through 2074, which may be extended through January 2101, at the Company’s discretion. The JW Marriott Desert Ridge land lease has a term through 2092. The leases for Ole Red locations range from five to ten years, with renewal options ranging from five to fifty-five years, at the Company’s discretion, with the exception of Ole Red Nashville International Airport, which has no extension option. The lease for Category 10 Las Vegas includes an initial ten-year term, with two, five-year renewal options, at the Company’s discretion. Extension options were not considered reasonably assured to be exercised as of the date of the agreement and, as a result, are not included in the Company’s calculation of its right-of-use assets and lease liabilities.

The terms of the Gaylord Palms lease include variable lease payments based upon net revenues at Gaylord Palms, and certain other of the Company’s leases include rental payments adjusted periodically for inflation. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

The Company continues to be required to pay federal and state corporate income taxes on earnings of its taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRSs”).

For the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company recorded an income tax provision (benefit) of $(3.6) million and $0.9 million, respectively, related to its TRSs. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company recorded an income tax provision of $8.4 million and $13.7 million, respectively, related to its TRSs.

On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) was enacted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential tax implications of the OBBBA, but based on the Company’s preliminary assessment, it does not expect the legislation to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

At September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had no unrecognized tax benefits.

  1. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:

The Company has entered into employment agreements with certain officers, which provide for severance payments upon certain events, including certain terminations in connection with a change of control.

On April 9, 2024, the Company received service of process in a lawsuit naming the Company and a subsidiary as co-defendants with Marriott, as the manager, and multiple contractors in a personal injury lawsuit filed by individual plaintiffs in Colorado state court. The lawsuit relates to a May 2023 incident at the Gaylord Rockies indoor pool amenity involving the collapse of HVAC equipment. The complaint requests an unspecified amount of damages related to alleged injuries to two guests. The Company intends to vigorously defend the lawsuit and believes it has strong defenses. The lawsuit is in its early stages so the Company cannot predict its likely outcome or estimate the range of possible loss, but the Company does not believe that the outcome will have a material impact on the Company’s financial position.

In addition, the Company, in the ordinary course of business, is involved in certain legal actions and claims on a variety of matters. It is the opinion of management that such contingencies will not have a material effect on the financial statements of the Company. 17

Table of Contents 14. EQUITY

Equity Offering

In May 2025, the Company completed an underwritten public offering of approximately 3.0 million shares of its common stock, par value $0.01 per share, at a price to the public of $96.20 per share. Net proceeds to the Company, after deducting underwriter discounts and commissions and other expenses paid by the Company, were approximately $275.5 million. The Company used a portion of these proceeds to fund a portion of the purchase price to acquire JW Marriott Desert Ridge as discussed in Note 2 and the remainder for general corporate purposes.

Dividends

On February 20, 2025, the Company’s board of directors declared the Company’s first quarter 2025 cash dividend in the amount of $1.15 per share of common stock, or an aggregate of approximately $69.5 million in cash, which was paid on April 15, 2025 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on March 31, 2025.

On May 9, 2025, the Company’s board of directors declared the Company’s second quarter 2025 cash dividend in the amount of $1.15 per share of common stock, or an aggregate of approximately $72.9 million in cash, which was paid on July 15, 2025 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on June 30, 2025.

On September 17, 2025, the Company’s board of directors declared the Company’s third quarter 2025 cash dividend in the amount of $1.15 per share of common stock, or an aggregate of approximately $72.9 million in cash, which was paid on October 15, 2025 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on September 30, 2025.

Noncontrolling Interest in the Operating Partnership

The Company consolidates the Operating Partnership, which is a majority-owned limited partnership that has a noncontrolling interest. The outstanding OP Units held by the noncontrolling limited partners are redeemable for cash, or if the Company so elects, in shares of the Company’s common stock on a one-for-one basis, subject to certain adjustments. At September 30, 2025, 0.4 million outstanding OP Units, or 0.6% of the outstanding OP Units, were held by the noncontrolling limited partners and are included as a component of equity in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company owns, directly or indirectly, the remaining 99.4% of the outstanding OP Units.

  1. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS:

The Company uses a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers include: Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.

The investments held by the Company in connection with its deferred compensation plan consist of mutual funds traded in an active market. The Company determined the fair value of these mutual funds based on the net asset value per unit of the funds or the portfolio, which is based upon quoted market prices in an active market. Therefore, the Company has categorized these investments as Level 1.

The Company’s interest rate swaps consist of over-the-counter swap contracts, which are not traded on a public exchange. The Company determines the fair value of these swap contracts based on a widely accepted valuation methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash flows and the discounted expected variable cash flows, using interest rates derived from observable market interest rate curves and volatilities, with appropriate adjustments for any significant impact of non-performance risk of the parties to the swap contracts. Therefore, these swap contracts have been classified as Level 2.

The Company has consistently applied the above valuation techniques in all periods presented and believes it has obtained the most accurate information available for each type of instrument. 18

Table of Contents The Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, were as follows (in thousands):

Overview

We operate as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, specializing in group-oriented, destination hotel assets in urban and resort markets. Our core holdings include a network of upscale, meetings-focused resorts totaling 11,869 rooms that are managed by Marriott under the Gaylord Hotels and JW Marriott brands. The five Gaylord Hotels resorts, which we refer to as our Gaylord Hotels properties, consist of the Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center in Nashville, Tennessee (“Gaylord Opryland”), the Gaylord Palms Resort & Convention Center near Orlando, Florida (“Gaylord Palms”), the Gaylord Texan Resort & Convention Center near Dallas, Texas (“Gaylord Texan”), the Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center near Washington D.C. (“Gaylord National”), and the Gaylord Rockies Resort & Convention Center near Denver, Colorado (“Gaylord Rockies”). The two JW Marriott resorts, which we refer to as the JW Marriott properties, consist of the JW Marriott San Antonio Hill Country Resort & Spa (“JW Marriott Hill Country”) and, effective June 10, 2025, the JW Marriott Phoenix Desert Ridge Resort & Spa (“JW Marriott Desert Ridge”). Our other hotel assets managed by Marriott include the Inn at Opryland, an overflow hotel adjacent to Gaylord Opryland, and the AC Hotel at National Harbor, Washington D.C. (“AC Hotel”), an overflow hotel adjacent to Gaylord National.

Each of our award-winning Gaylord Hotels properties and JW Marriott properties incorporates not only high-quality lodging, but also large-scale meeting, convention and exhibition space, superb food and beverage options and retail and spa facilities within a single self-contained property. Our Gaylord Hotels properties each include at least 400,000 square feet of meeting, convention and exhibit space, and our JW Marriott properties each include at least 240,000 square feet of meeting, convention and exhibit space. As a result, our Gaylord Hotels properties and JW Marriott properties provide a convenient and entertaining environment for convention guests. Our Gaylord Hotels properties and JW Marriott properties focus on the large group meetings market in the United States.

We also own an approximate 70% controlling equity interest in a business comprised of a number of entertainment and media assets, known as the Opry Entertainment Group (“OEG”), which we report as our Entertainment segment. These assets include the Grand Ole Opry, the legendary weekly showcase of country music’s finest performers for 99 years; the Ryman Auditorium, the storied live music venue and former home of the Grand Ole Opry located in downtown Nashville; WSM-AM, the Opry’s radio home; Ole Red, a brand of Blake Shelton-themed bar, music venue and event spaces; Category 10, a brand of Luke Combs-themed bar, music venue and event spaces that opened in Nashville, Tennessee in November 2024, with an additional location expected to open in Las Vegas, Nevada in late 2026; Block 21, a mixed-use entertainment, lodging, office, and retail complex located in Austin, Texas (“Block 21”), and as of January 3, 2025, a majority and controlling equity interest in Southern Entertainment, a Charlotte, North Carolina-based national music festival and events production company.

See “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in this Item 2 and Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” in Part II of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 for important information regarding forward-looking statements made in this report and risks and uncertainties we face.

Dividend Policy

Our board of directors has approved a dividend policy pursuant to which we will make minimum dividends of 100% of REIT taxable income annually, subject to the board of directors’ future determinations as to the amount of any distributions and the timing thereof. The dividend policy may be altered at any time by our board of directors (as otherwise permitted by our credit agreement) and certain provisions of our agreements governing our other indebtedness may prohibit us from paying dividends in accordance with any policy we may adopt.

Our Long-Term Strategic Plan

Our goal is to be the nation’s premier hospitality REIT for group-oriented meeting hotel assets in urban and resort markets.

Existing Hotel Property Design. Our Gaylord Hotels properties and JW Marriott properties focus on the large group meetings and regional leisure transient markets in the United States and incorporate meeting and exhibition space, signature guest rooms, food and beverage offerings, fitness and spa facilities and other attractions within a large hotel property so attendees’ needs are met in one location. We believe this strategy creates a better experience for both meeting planners and guests and has led to our current Gaylord Hotels properties and JW Marriott properties claiming a place among the leading convention hotels in the country.

Expansion of Hotel Asset Portfolio. Part of our long-term growth strategy includes acquisitions or developments of other hotels, particularly in the group meetings sector of the hospitality industry, either alone or through joint ventures or alliances with one or more third parties. We will consider attractive investment opportunities which meet our acquisition parameters, specifically, group-oriented large hotels and overflow hotels with existing or potential leisure appeal. We are generally interested in highly accessible upper-upscale or luxury assets with over 400 hotel rooms in urban and resort group destination markets. We also consider assets that possess significant meeting space or present a repositioning opportunity and/or would significantly benefit from capital investment in additional rooms or meeting space. We are consistently considering acquisitions that would expand the geographic diversity of our existing asset portfolio. To this end, we purchased JW Marriott Hill Country in June 2023 and JW Marriott Desert Ridge in June 2025.

Continued Investment in Our Existing Properties. We continuously evaluate and invest in our current portfolio and consider enhancements or expansions as part of our long-term strategic plan. In 2024, we completed a $98 million multi-year interior and exterior enhancement project at Gaylord Rockies to better position the property for our group customers. In early 2024, we identified over $1 billion in capital investment opportunities across our entire hotel portfolio, comprised of projects that we anticipate completing in phases through 2027. Our ongoing plans for a nearly $225 million multi-phase capital improvement plan at Gaylord Opryland include the expansion of approximately 25

Table of Contents 108,000 square feet of premium, carpeted meeting space; the construction of a sports bar, event lawn and pavilion; and the renovation of multiple ballrooms and pre-function space.

Leverage Brand Name Awareness. We believe the Grand Ole Opry is one of the most recognized entertainment brands in the United States. We promote the Grand Ole Opry name through various media, including our WSM-AM radio station, the Internet and television, and through performances by the Grand Ole Opry’s members, many of whom are renowned country music artists. As such, we have alliances in place with multiple distribution partners in an effort to foster brand extension. We believe that licensing our brand may provide an opportunity to increase revenues and cash flow with relatively little capital investment. We are continuously exploring additional products, such as television specials and retail products, through which we can capitalize on our brand affinity and awareness. To this end, we have invested in six Ole Red locations, purchased Block 21, opened our first Category 10 in November 2024, purchased a majority interest in Southern Entertainment in January 2025, and in September 2025, the Grand Ole Opry traveled to the Royal Albert Hall in London for the first international performance in its history. Further, in 2022, we completed a strategic transaction to sell a minority interest in OEG to an affiliate of Atairos Group, Inc. and its strategic partner NBCUniversal Media, LLC, who we believe will continue to help us expand the distribution of our OEG brands.

Short-Term Capital Allocation. Our short-term capital allocation strategy is focused on returning capital to stockholders through the payment of dividends, in addition to investing in our assets and operations. Our dividend policy provides that we will make minimum dividends of 100% of REIT taxable income annually, subject to the board of directors’ future determinations as to the amount of any distributions and the timing thereof.

Our Operations

Our operations are organized into three principal business segments:

Hospitality, consisting of our Gaylord Hotels properties, our JW Marriott properties (including, effective June 10, 2025, JW Marriott Desert Ridge), the Inn at Opryland and the AC Hotel.
Entertainment, consisting of the Grand Ole Opry, the Ryman Auditorium, WSM-AM, Ole Red, Category 10, Block 21, Southern Entertainment, and our other Nashville-based attractions.
--- ---
Corporate and Other, consisting of our corporate expenses.
--- ---

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, our total revenues were divided among these business segments as follows:

Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended
September 30, September 30,
Segment **** 2025 **** 2024 **** **** 2025 **** 2024 **** ****
Hospitality 85 % 85 % 82 % 86 %
Entertainment 15 % 15 % 18 % 14 %
Corporate and Other 0 % 0 % 0 % 0 %

Key Performance Indicators

The operating results of our Hospitality segment are highly dependent on the volume of customers at our hotels and the quality of the customer mix at our hotels, which are managed by Marriott. These factors impact the price that Marriott can charge for our hotel rooms and other amenities, such as food and beverage and meeting space. The following key performance indicators are commonly used in the hospitality industry and are used by management to evaluate hotel performance and allocate capital expenditures:

hotel occupancy – a volume indicator calculated by dividing total rooms sold by total rooms available;
average daily rate (“ADR”) – a price indicator calculated by dividing room revenue by the number of rooms sold;

revenue per available room (“RevPAR”) – a summary measure of hotel results calculated by dividing room revenue by room nights available to guests for the period;
total revenue per available room (“Total RevPAR”) – a summary measure of hotel results calculated by dividing the sum of room, food and beverage and other ancillary service revenue by room nights available to guests for the period; and

net definite group room nights booked – a volume indicator which represents the total number of definite group bookings for future room nights at our hotels confirmed during the applicable period, net of cancellations.

We also use certain “non-GAAP financial measures,” which are measures of our historical performance that are not calculated and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), within the meaning of applicable SEC rules. These measures include:

Earnings Before Interest Expense, Income Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization for Real Estate (“EBITDAre”), Adjusted EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre, Excluding Noncontrolling Interest, and
Funds From Operations (“FFO”) available to common stockholders and unit holders and Adjusted FFO available to common stockholders and unit holders.
--- ---

See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below for further discussion.

The results of operations of our Hospitality segment are affected by the number and type of group meetings and conventions scheduled to attend our hotels in a given period. A variety of factors can affect the results of any interim period, including the nature and quality of the group meetings and conventions attending our hotels during such period, which meetings and conventions (and applicable room rates) have often been contracted for several years in advance, seasonality, the level of attrition our hotels experience, and the level of transient business at our hotels during such period. Increases in costs, including labor costs, costs of food and other supplies, and energy costs can negatively affect our results, particularly during an inflationary economic environment. We rely on Marriott, as the manager of our hotels, to manage these factors and to offset any identified shortfalls in occupancy. 27

Total Revenues

The increase in our total revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to the same period in 2024, is primarily attributable to an increase in our Hospitality segment and Entertainment segment of $33.8 million and $8.7 million, respectively, as presented in the tables below. The increase in our total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to the same period in 2024, is primarily attributable to an increase in our Entertainment segment and Hospitality segment of $80.5 million and $67.2 million, respectively, as presented in the tables below.

Total Operating Expenses

The increase in our total operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to the same period in 2024, is primarily the result of increases in our Hospitality segment and Entertainment segment of $37.3 million and $6.3 million, respectively, and an increase of $14.2 million in depreciation and amortization expense, as presented in the tables below.

The increase in our total operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to the same period in 2024, is primarily the result of increases in our Entertainment segment and Hospitality segment of $74.3 million and $70.3 million, respectively, and an increase of $29.1 million in depreciation and amortization expense, as presented in the tables below. In addition, the increase in total operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to the same period in 2024, is partially attributable to the prior year period including a reduction in total operating expenses of $9.1 million related to a refund of Tennessee franchise tax for prior years caused by a change in tax law.

Operating Income

The above factors resulted in a decrease of $17.3 million and $26.2 million in operating income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, as compared to the 2024 periods.

​ 29

Table of Contents Net Income

Our $26.4 million decrease in net income for the three months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to the same period in 2024, was primarily due to the changes in our revenues and operating expenses reflected above, impacted by the following factors, each as described more fully below:

A $12.7 million increase in interest expense, net, in the 2025 period, as compared to the 2024 period, due to higher outstanding debt balances.
A $4.6 million decrease in provision for income taxes in the 2025 period, as compared to the 2024 period.

Factors and Trends Contributing to Performance and Current Environment

Important factors and trends contributing to our performance during the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024, were:

The addition of JW Marriott Desert Ridge, including $36.1 million in revenues; the property averaged $146.63 in RevPAR and $413.25 in Total RevPAR.
An increase in same-store (Hospitality segment excluding JW Marriott Desert Ridge) ADR of 2.2% in the 2025 period, as compared to the 2024 period.
--- ---
A decrease in same-store group rooms traveled in the 2025 period of 6.1% from the 2024 period and an increase in same-store transient rooms traveled in the 2025 period of 5.4% from the 2024 period, as the 2024 period included strong corporate group room nights traveled.
--- ---
Same-store in-the-year-for-the-year cancelled room nights at our hotels increased by approximately 11,000 rooms in the 2025 period, as compared to the 2024 period, as macroeconomic uncertainty has impacted current period results.
--- ---
An increase of 12.0% in total revenue and Total RevPAR at Gaylord National in the 2025 period, as compared to the 2024 period, primarily as a result of an increase in group room nights traveled and the related increase in catering business.
--- ---
An increase of 7.3% in total revenue and Total RevPAR at Gaylord Rockies in the 2025 period, as compared to the 2024 period, primarily as a result of an increase in transient room nights traveled and an increase in food and beverage outlet revenue associated with the multi-year enhancement project completed at the property in 2024.
--- ---
A decrease of 10.3% in total revenue and Total RevPAR at Gaylord Opryland in the 2025 period, as compared to the 2024 period, primarily as a result of a decrease in group room nights traveled and ongoing construction-related disruption at the property. The decrease in group room nights traveled was exacerbated by macroeconomic uncertainty.
--- ---
Increases of 10.5% and 10.2% in Entertainment revenue and Entertainment operating expenses, respectively, in the 2025 period, as compared to the 2024 period. Entertainment segment results benefited from the operation of

Category 10, which opened in November 2024, as well as the W Austin, which faced construction-related disruptions in the prior year period.

Important factors and trends contributing to our performance during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024, were:

The addition of JW Marriott Desert Ridge, including $41.5 million in revenues; for our ownership period beginning June 10, 2025, the property averaged $136.07 in RevPAR and $386.27 in Total RevPAR.
An increase in same-store ADR of 2.3% in the 2025 period, as compared to the 2024 period.
--- ---
An increase in same-store transient rooms traveled in the 2025 period of 4.1% over the 2024 period.
--- ---
Same-store in-the-year-for-the-year cancelled room nights at our hotels increased by approximately 24,000 rooms in the 2025 period, as compared to the 2024 period, as macroeconomic uncertainty has impacted current period results.
--- ---
Increases of 33.0% and 42.7% in Entertainment revenue and Entertainment operating expenses, respectively, in the 2025 period, as compared to the 2024 period, primarily related to Southern Entertainment, which was negatively impacted by several weather-related events. Entertainment segment results also benefited from the operation of Category 10, which opened in November 2024, as well as the W Austin, which faced construction-related disruptions in the prior year period.
--- ---
Total operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 were reduced by a $9.1 million refund of Tennessee franchise tax for prior years caused by a change in tax law, which did not recur in 2025. This reduction was comprised of $5.6 million, $3.4 million and $0.1 million in our Hospitality segment, Entertainment segment and Corporate and Other segment, respectively.
--- ---

Other important factors and trends for the three and nine months ended, and as of, September 30, 2025 include:

Same-store gross definite group room nights booked at our hotels for all future periods in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 has increased 9.2% and decreased 1.9%, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2024; the increase in near-term cancellations noted above, as ongoing economic policy uncertainty is weighing on near-term meeting planner decision-making, has resulted in a decrease of 3.6% and 8.4%, respectively, in same-store net definite group room nights booked at our hotels in the 2025 periods, as compared to the 2024 periods.
Same-store group room nights on the books for all future years at our hotels at September 30, 2025 are 3.3% higher than the number on the books at the same point in 2024. In addition, the estimated ADR on those group room nights on the books at September 30, 2025 is 5.2% higher than the same point in 2024.
--- ---
While Nashville visitation and tourism trends remain steady, new hotel supply has impacted transient occupancy levels and, more recently, room rates. We expect this incremental transient rate risk to continue for Gaylord Opryland for the remainder of 2025.
--- ---
Our strong revenues in recent periods have partially mitigated increasing operating costs in the current inflationary environment. In addition, while in recent years we have experienced higher interest rates than in historical periods, interest rates on our debt have decreased in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to the same periods in 2024. The current inflationary environment is expected to continue in at least the near future.

Administrative employment costs include salaries and benefits for hotel administrative functions, including, among others, senior management, accounting, human resources, sales, conference services, engineering and security. Administrative employment costs and utility costs increased in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to the same periods in 2024, primarily due to JW Marriott Desert Ridge. The increase in property taxes during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to the 2024 periods, was primarily due to JW Marriott Desert Ridge, as well as slight increases at several Hospitality segment properties due to recent reappraisals. The increase in other expenses, which include supplies, advertising, maintenance costs and consulting costs, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to the same periods in 2024, was primarily due to JW Marriott Desert Ridge, as well as slight increases of various miscellaneous expenses across the Hospitality segment. In addition, the nine-month 2024 period includes a refund of $5.6 million of Tennessee franchise tax for prior years caused by a change in tax law, which reduced other expenses in the nine-month 2024 period.

Each of our management agreements with Marriott requires us to pay Marriott a base management fee based on the gross revenues from the applicable property for each fiscal year or portion thereof. The applicable percentage for our Gaylord Hotels properties, excluding Gaylord Rockies, is approximately 2% of gross revenues, Gaylord Rockies and JW Marriott Desert Ridge are approximately 3% of gross revenues, and JW Marriott Hill Country is approximately 3.5% of gross revenues. Additionally, we pay Marriott an incentive management fee based on the profitability of our hotels. In the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, we incurred $12.0 million and $11.0 million, respectively, and in the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, we incurred $36.0 million and $34.0 million, respectively, related to base management fees for our Hospitality segment. In the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, we incurred $5.3 million and $6.7 million, respectively, and in the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, we incurred $19.3 million and $24.6 million, respectively, related to incentive management fees for our Hospitality segment. Management fees are presented throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q net of the amortization of the deferred management rights proceeds discussed in Note 9, “Deferred Management Rights Proceeds,” to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements included herein.

Total Hospitality segment depreciation and amortization expense increased in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to the same period in 2024, primarily due to an increase at Gaylord Palms associated with the addition of depreciable assets associated with the property’s rooms and lobby renovation, as well as the increase in depreciable assets associated with JW Marriott Desert Ridge. 33

Interest Income

Interest income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 primarily includes amounts earned on our cash balances, as well as the bonds that were received in connection with the development of Gaylord National, which we hold as notes receivable. See Note 7, “Notes Receivable,” to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements included herein for additional discussion of interest income on these bonds.

Loss on Extinguishment of Debt

As a result of the April 2025 incremental borrowings under the OEG credit agreement and the defeasance of the Block 21 CMBS loan, we recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt of $0.4 million and $2.9 million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively.

As a result of the June 2024 refinancing of the OEG credit agreement, the April 2024 repricing of the RHP term loan B, and the March 2024 repayment of the previous Gaylord Rockies $800 million term loan, we recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt of $2.3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

Other Gains and (Losses), net

Other gains and (losses), net for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 includes the receipt of $3.3 million and $3.2 million, respectively, from a fund associated with the Gaylord National bonds to reimburse us for certain marketing and maintenance expenses.

Provision for Income Taxes

As a REIT, we generally are not subject to federal corporate income taxes on ordinary taxable income and capital gains income from real estate investments that we distribute to our stockholders. We are required to pay federal and state corporate income taxes on earnings of our TRSs.

For the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, we recorded an income tax provision (benefit) of $(3.6) million and $0.9 million, respectively, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, we recorded an 39

Table of Contents income tax provision of $8.4 million and $13.7 million, respectively, related to our TRSs. The change in the income tax provision for the 2025 periods, as compared to the 2024 periods, relates to changes in income at our TRSs.

On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) was enacted. We are currently evaluating the potential tax implications of the OBBBA, but based on our preliminary assessment, we do not expect the legislation to have a material impact on our financial statements.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We present the following non-GAAP financial measures that we believe are useful to investors as key measures of our operating performance:

EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre, Excluding Noncontrolling Interest Definition

We calculate EBITDAre,which is defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) in its September 2017 white paper as net income (calculated in accordance with GAAP) plus interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, gains or losses on the disposition of depreciated property (including gains or losses on change in control), impairment write-downs of depreciated property and of investments in unconsolidated affiliates caused by a decrease in the value of depreciated property of the affiliate, and adjustments to reflect the entity’s share of EBITDAre of unconsolidated affiliates.

Adjusted EBITDAre is then calculated as EBITDA*re,*plus to the extent the following adjustments occurred during the periods presented:

preopening costs;
non-cash lease expense;
--- ---
equity-based compensation expense;
--- ---
impairment charges that do not meet the NAREIT definition above;
--- ---
credit losses on held-to-maturity securities;
--- ---
transaction costs of acquisitions;
--- ---
interest income on bonds;
--- ---
loss on extinguishment of debt;
--- ---
pension settlement charges;
--- ---
pro rata Adjusted EBITDAre from unconsolidated joint ventures; and
--- ---
any other adjustments we have identified herein.
--- ---

We then exclude the pro rata share of Adjusted EBITDAre related to noncontrolling interests to calculate Adjusted EBITDAre, Excluding Noncontrolling Interest.

We use EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre, Excluding Noncontrolling Interest to evaluate our operating performance. We believe that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information to investors regarding our operating performance and debt leverage metrics, and that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures, when combined with the primary GAAP presentation of net income, is beneficial to an investor’s complete understanding of our operating performance. We make additional adjustments to EBITDAre when evaluating our performance because we believe that presenting Adjusted EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre, Excluding Noncontrolling Interest provides useful information to investors regarding our operating performance and debt leverage metrics.

FFO, Adjusted FFO, and Adjusted FFO Available to Common Stockholders and Unit Holders Definition

We calculate FFO*,*which definition is clarified by NAREIT in its December 2018 white paper as net income (calculated in accordance with GAAP) excluding depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs and debt discounts), gains and losses from the sale of certain real estate assets, gains and losses from a change in control, impairment write-downs of certain real estate assets and investments in entities when the impairment is directly 40

Table of Contents attributable to decreases in the value of depreciated real estate held by the entity, income (loss) from consolidated joint ventures attributable to noncontrolling interest, and pro rata adjustments from unconsolidated joint ventures.

To calculate Adjusted FFO available to common stockholders and unit holders, we then exclude, to the extent the following adjustments occurred during the periods presented:

right-of-use asset amortization;
impairment charges that do not meet the NAREIT definition above;
--- ---
write-offs of deferred financing costs;
--- ---
amortization of debt discounts or premiums and amortization of deferred financing costs;
--- ---
loss on extinguishment of debt;
--- ---
non-cash lease expense;
--- ---
credit loss on held-to-maturity securities;
--- ---
pension settlement charges;
--- ---
additional pro rata adjustments from unconsolidated joint ventures;
--- ---
(gains) losses on other assets;
--- ---
transaction costs of acquisitions;
--- ---
deferred income tax expense (benefit); and
--- ---
any other adjustments we have identified herein.
--- ---

FFO available to common stockholders and unit holders and Adjusted FFO available to common stockholders and unit holders exclude the ownership portion of the joint ventures not controlled or owned by the Company.

We believe that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information to investors regarding the performance of our ongoing operations because each presents a measure of our operations without regard to specified non-cash items such as real estate depreciation and amortization, gain or loss on sale of assets and certain other items, which we believe are not indicative of the performance of our underlying hotel properties. We believe that these items are more representative of our asset base than our ongoing operations. We also use these non-GAAP financial measures as measures in determining our results after considering the impact of our capital structure.

We caution investors that non-GAAP financial measures we present may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by other companies, because not all companies calculate these non-GAAP measures in the same manner. The non-GAAP financial measures we present should not be considered as alternative measures of our net income, operating performance, cash flow or liquidity. These non-GAAP financial measures may include funds that may not be available for our discretionary use due to functional requirements to conserve funds for capital expenditures and property acquisitions and other commitments and uncertainties. Although we believe that these non-GAAP financial measures can enhance an investor’s understanding of our results of operations, these non-GAAP financial measures, when viewed individually, are not necessarily better indicators of any trend as compared to GAAP measures such as net income, operating income, or cash flow from operations.

Table of Contents Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Flows Provided By Operating Activities. Cash flow from operating activities is the principal source of cash used to fund our operating expenses, interest payments on debt, maintenance capital expenditures, and dividends to stockholders. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, our net cash flows provided by operating activities were $426.0 million, primarily reflecting our net income before depreciation expense, amortization expense and other non-cash charges of $401.4 million and favorable changes in working capital of $24.5 million. The favorable changes in working capital primarily resulted from an increase in advanced ticket purchases at our OEG venues, an increase in advanced room deposits on future hotel stays, and an increase in interest payable.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, our net cash flows provided by operating activities were $409.9 million, primarily reflecting our net income before depreciation expense, amortization expense and other non-cash charges of $411.9 million, partially offset by unfavorable changes in working capital of $2.0 million.

Cash Flows Used In Investing Activities. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, our primary uses of funds for investing activities were the use of $862.0 million to purchase JW Marriott Desert Ridge and purchases of property and equipment, which totaled $252.1 million. Purchases of property and equipment consisted primarily of projects at Gaylord Opryland, including a meeting space expansion, the renovation of an existing ballroom and pre-function space, and the development of a sports bar, pavilion and event lawn; a rooms renovation at Gaylord Texan; and ongoing maintenance capital expenditures for each of our existing properties.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, our primary use of funds for investing activities were purchases of property and equipment, which totaled $317.3 million, and consisted primarily of enhancements at Gaylord Rockies to construct a new events pavilion, enhance the grand lodge and reposition its food and beverage outlets; the conversion of the Wildhorse Saloon to Category 10; a rooms renovation at the W Austin and common area enhancements at Block 21; the completion of Ole Red Las Vegas; enhancements to meeting spaces at Gaylord Opryland; a rooms and lobby renovation at Gaylord Palms; and ongoing maintenance capital expenditures for each of our existing properties.

Cash Flows Provided By (Used In) Financing Activities. Our cash flows from financing activities primarily reflect the incurrence and repayment of long-term debt and the payment of cash distributions. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, our net cash flows provided by financing activities were $642.2 million, primarily reflecting the issuance of $625.0 million in senior notes and $275.5 million in net proceeds from the issuance of approximately 3.0 million shares of our common stock, partially offset by the payment of $212.6 million in cash distributions, the repayment of $21.0 million under the OEG revolving credit facility, and the payment of $13.1 million in deferred financing costs.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, our net cash flows used in financing activities were $226.0 million, primarily reflecting the issuance of $1 billion in senior notes, offset by the prepayment of the Gaylord Rockies $800.0 million term loan, the repayment of $202.7 million under our term loan B, the payment of $199.8 million in cash dividends, and the payment of $23.1 million in deferred financing costs.

Liquidity

At September 30, 2025, we had $483.3 million in unrestricted cash and $780.0 million available for borrowing in the aggregate under our revolving credit facility and the OEG revolving credit facility. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we issued $625 million in new senior notes, received $275.5 million in net proceeds from the issuance of approximately 3.0 million shares of our common stock, used $862.0 million in net cash to purchase JW Marriott Desert Ridge, incurred capital expenditures of $252.1 million and paid $212.6 million in cash distributions. These changes, partially offset by the cash flows provided by operations discussed above, were the primary factors in the decrease in our cash balance from December 31, 2024 to September 30, 2025.

We anticipate investing in our operations during the remainder of 2025 by spending between approximately $125 million and $175 million in capital expenditures, which includes projects at Gaylord Opryland for the development of a sports bar, pavilion and event lawn, and a meeting space expansion; a rooms renovation at Gaylord Texan; the preparation for a rooms renovation at JW Marriott Hill Country; and ongoing maintenance capital for each of our current 43

Table of Contents facilities. At this time, the scope of our multiyear capital program remains unchanged; however, the discrete nature of the projects in the pipeline allows us to take a flexible approach to evolving macroeconomic conditions. Further, our dividend policy provides that we will make minimum dividends of 100% of REIT taxable income annually. Future dividends are subject to our board of directors’ future determinations as to amount and timing. We currently have no debt maturities until May 2027. We believe we will be able to refinance our debt agreements prior to their maturities.

We believe that our cash on hand and cash flow from operations, together with amounts available for borrowing under each of our revolving credit facility and the OEG revolving credit facility, will be adequate to fund our general short-term commitments, as well as: (i) current operating expenses, (ii) interest expense on long-term debt obligations, (iii) financing lease and operating lease obligations, (iv) declared dividends and (v) the capital expenditures described above. Our ability to draw on our credit facility and the OEG revolving credit facility is subject to the satisfaction of provisions of the credit facility and the OEG revolving credit facility, as applicable.

Our outstanding principal debt agreements are described below. At September 30, 2025, there were no defaults under the covenants related to our outstanding debt.

Principal Debt Agreements

Credit Facility. On May 18, 2023, we entered into a Credit Agreement (as modified pursuant to the First Incremental Agreement and the Second Incremental Agreement (as hereinafter defined), the “Credit Agreement”) among the Company, as a guarantor, the Operating Partnership, as borrower, certain other subsidiaries of the Company party thereto, as guarantors, certain subsidiaries of the Company party thereto, as pledgors, the lenders party thereto and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent.

The Credit Agreement provides for a $700.0 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolver”) and a senior secured term loan B (the “Term Loan B”) (in the original principal amount of $500.0 million, which was reduced to $295.0 million on March 28, 2024 in connection with the First Incremental Agreement), as well as an accordion feature that will allow us to increase the facilities by an aggregate total of up to $475 million, which may be allocated between the Revolver and the Term Loan B at our option.

Each of the Revolver and the Term Loan B is guaranteed by us, each of our subsidiaries that own the Gaylord Hotels properties, the JW Marriott properties and certain of our other subsidiaries. Each of the Revolver and the Term Loan B is secured by equity pledges of our subsidiaries that are the fee owners of Gaylord Opryland and Gaylord Texan, their respective direct and indirect parent entities, and the equity of Ryman Hotel Operations Holdco, LLC, a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of the Company. Assets and equity of OEG are not subject to the liens of the Credit Agreement.

In addition, each of the Revolver and Term Loan B contains certain covenants that, among other things, limit the incurrence of additional indebtedness, investments, dividends, transactions with affiliates, asset sales, acquisitions, mergers and consolidations, liens and encumbrances and other matters customarily restricted in such agreements. The material financial covenants, ratios or tests contained in the Credit Agreement are as follows:

We must maintain a consolidated net leverage ratio of not greater than 6.50x.
We must maintain a consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.50x.
--- ---
Our secured indebtedness must not exceed 30% of consolidated total asset value.
--- ---
Our secured recourse indebtedness must not exceed 10% of consolidated total asset value.
--- ---
Unencumbered leverage ratio must not exceed 55% (with the ability to surge to 60% in connection with a material acquisition).
--- ---
Unencumbered adjusted NOI to unsecured interest expense ratio of not less than 2.0x.
--- ---

Table of Contents If an event of default shall occur and be continuing under the Credit Agreement, the commitments under the Credit Agreement may be terminated and the principal amount outstanding under the Credit Agreement, together with all accrued unpaid interest and other amounts owing in respect thereof, may be declared immediately due and payable.

Revolving Credit Facility. The maturity date of the Revolver is May 18, 2027, with the option to extend the maturity date for a maximum of one additional year through either (i) a single 12-month extension option or (ii) two individual 6-month extensions (subject to extension fees as detailed in the Credit Agreement). Borrowings under the Revolver bear interest at an annual rate equal to, at our option, either (i) Adjusted Term SOFR plus the applicable margin ranging from 1.40% to 2.00%, (ii) Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR plus the applicable margin ranging from 1.40% to 2.00% or (iii) a base rate as set forth in the Credit Agreement plus the applicable margin ranging from 0.40% to 1.00%, with each option dependent upon our funded debt to total asset value ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement). Principal is payable in full at maturity.

For purposes of the Revolver, Adjusted Term SOFR is calculated as the sum of Term SOFR plus an adjustment of 0.10% (all as more specifically described in the Credit Agreement), subject to a floor of 0.00%. Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR is calculated as the sum of SOFR plus an adjustment of 0.10% (all as more specifically described in the Credit Agreement), subject to a floor of 0.00%.

At September 30, 2025, no amounts were outstanding under the Revolver, and there was $700.0 million of availability under the Revolver (subject to the satisfaction of debt incurrence tests under the indentures governing our $1 billion in aggregate principal amount of senior notes due 2032 (the “$1 Billion 6.50% Senior Notes”), our $700 million in aggregate principal amount of senior notes due 2027 (the “$700 Million 4.75% Senior Notes”), our $625 million in aggregate principal amount of senior notes due 2033 (the “$625 Million 6.50% Senior Notes”), our $600 million in aggregate principal amount of senior notes due 2029 (the “$600 Million 4.50% Senior Notes”) and our $400 million in aggregate principal amount of senior notes due 2028 (the “$400 Million 7.25% Senior Notes”), which we met at September 30, 2025).

Term Loan B. The Term Loan B has a maturity date of May 18, 2030. Prior to the effectiveness of the First Incremental Agreement and the Second Incremental Agreement (as hereinafter defined), the applicable interest rate margins for borrowings under the Term Loan B were, at our option, either (i) Term SOFR plus 2.75%, (ii) Daily Simple SOFR plus 2.75% or (iii) a base rate as set forth in the Credit Agreement plus 1.75%. The Credit Agreement requires principal amortization payments in an amount equal to 1% per annum of the principal amount of the Term Loan B, which is payable quarterly. In addition, if for any fiscal year, there is Excess Cash Flow (as defined in the Credit Agreement), an additional principal amount is required. Amounts borrowed under the Term Loan B that are repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed.

On April 12, 2024, we entered into an Incremental Tranche B Term Loan Agreement (the “First Incremental Agreement”), which supplemented the Credit Agreement and included the addition of certain new lenders and the removal of certain other lenders. The First Incremental Agreement reduced the applicable interest rate margins to (i) 2.25% for SOFR Loans (as defined in the Credit Agreement) and (ii) 1.25% for base rate loans.

On December 19, 2024, we entered into an additional Incremental Tranche B Term Loan Agreement (the “Second Incremental Agreement”), which supplemented the Credit Agreement. The Second Incremental Agreement reduces the applicable interest rate margins for the refinanced Term Loan B. The applicable interest rate margins for the refinanced Term Loan B under the Second Incremental Agreement are (i) 2.00% for SOFR Loans (as defined in the Credit Agreement) and (ii) 1.00% for base rate loans. Further, the Second Incremental Agreement provides for the applicable interest rate margins to be further reduced by an additional 0.25% upon our meeting certain criteria as set forth in the Second Incremental Agreement.

At September 30, 2025, the interest rate on the Term Loan B was Term SOFR plus 2.00%. Neither the First Incremental Agreement nor the Second Incremental Agreement changed the maturity dates under the Credit Agreement or resulted in any increase in principal indebtedness. In addition, the Second Incremental Agreement confirmed that the annual amortization under the Term Loan B is 1% of the refinanced $293.5 million outstanding principal amount, with the balance due at maturity. At September 30, 2025, $290.6 million in borrowings were outstanding under the Term Loan B. 45

Table of Contents For purposes of the Term Loan B, each of Term SOFR and Daily Simple SOFR are subject to a floor of 0.00%.

$1 Billion 6.50% Senior Notes. On March 28, 2024, the Operating Partnership and Finco (collectively, the “issuing subsidiaries”) completed the private placement of $1.0 billion in aggregate principal amount of 6.50% senior notes due 2032, which are guaranteed by the Company and its subsidiaries that guarantee the Credit Agreement. The $1 Billion 6.50% Senior Notes and guarantees were issued pursuant to an indenture by and among the issuing subsidiaries, the guarantors and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee. The $1 Billion 6.50% Senior Notes have a maturity date of April 1, 2032 and bear interest at 6.50% per annum, payable semi-annually in cash in arrears on April 1 and October 1 each year, beginning October 1, 2024. The $1 Billion 6.50% Senior Notes are general unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of the issuing subsidiaries and rank equal in right of payment with such subsidiaries’ existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness, including the $700 Million 4.75% Senior Notes, the $625 Million 6.50% Senior Notes, the $600 Million 4.50% Senior Notes and the $400 Million 7.25% Senior Notes, and senior in right of payment to future subordinated indebtedness, if any. The $1 Billion 6.50% Senior Notes are effectively subordinated to the issuing subsidiaries’ secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness. The guarantees rank equally in right of payment with the applicable guarantor’s existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness and senior in right of payment to any future subordinated indebtedness of such guarantor. The $1 Billion 6.50% Senior Notes are effectively subordinated to any secured indebtedness of any guarantor to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness and structurally subordinated to all indebtedness and other obligations of the Operating Partnership’s subsidiaries that do not guarantee the $1 Billion 6.50% Senior Notes.

The net proceeds from the issuance of the $1 Billion 6.50% Senior Notes totaled approximately $983 million, after deducting the initial purchasers’ discounts, commissions and offering expenses. We used a portion of these net proceeds to prepay the indebtedness outstanding under our previous $800.0 million Gaylord Rockies term loan and used the remaining proceeds, together with cash on hand, to repay $200.0 million under the Term Loan B.

The $1 Billion 6.50% Senior Notes are redeemable before April 1, 2027, in whole or in part, at 100.00%, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not including, the redemption date, plus a make-whole premium. The $1 Billion 6.50% Senior Notes will be redeemable, in whole or in part, at any time on or after April 1, 2027 at a redemption price expressed as a percentage of the principal amount thereof, which percentage is 103.250%, 101.625%, and 100.000% beginning on April 1 of 2027, 2028, and 2029, respectively, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not including, the redemption date.

$700 Million 4.75% Senior Notes. In September 2019, the Operating Partnership and Finco completed the private placement of $500.0 million in aggregate principal amount of senior notes due 2027, which are guaranteed by the Company and its subsidiaries that guarantee the Credit Agreement. The $500 Million 4.75% Senior Notes and guarantees were issued pursuant to an indenture by and among the issuing subsidiaries and the guarantors and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association as trustee. The $500 Million 4.75% Senior Notes have a maturity date of October 15, 2027 and bear interest at 4.75% per annum, payable semi-annually in cash in arrears on April 15 and October 15 each year. The $500 Million 4.75% Senior Notes are general unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of the issuing subsidiaries and rank equal in right of payment with such subsidiaries’ existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness, including the $1 Billion 6.50% Senior Notes, the $625 Million 6.50% Senior Notes, the $600 Million 4.50% Senior Notes and the $400 Million 7.25% Senior Notes, and senior in right of payment to future subordinated indebtedness, if any. The $500 Million 4.75% Senior Notes are effectively subordinated to the issuing subsidiaries’ secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness. The guarantees rank equally in right of payment with the applicable guarantor’s existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness and senior in right of payment to any future subordinated indebtedness of such guarantor. The $500 Million 4.75% Senior Notes are effectively subordinated to any secured indebtedness of any guarantor to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness and structurally subordinated to all indebtedness and other obligations of the Operating Partnership’s subsidiaries that do not guarantee the $500 Million 4.75% Senior Notes.

In October 2019, we completed a tack-on private placement of $200.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 4.75% senior notes due 2027 (the “additional 2027 notes”) at an issue price of 101.250% of their aggregate principal amount plus accrued interest from the September 19, 2019 issue date for the $500 Million 4.75% Senior Notes. The additional 2027 notes and the $500 Million 4.75% Senior Notes constitute a single class of securities (collectively, the “$700 46

Table of Contents Million 4.75% Senior Notes”). All other terms and conditions of the additional 2027 notes are identical to the $500 Million 4.75% Senior Notes.

The $700 Million 4.75% Senior Notes are currently redeemable, in whole or in part, at 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not including, the redemption date.

We completed a registered offer to exchange the $700 Million 4.75% Senior Notes for registered notes with substantially identical terms as the $700 Million 4.75% Senior Notes in July 2020.

$625 Million 6.50% Senior Notes. On June 4, 2025, the Operating Partnership and Finco completed the private placement of $625.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 6.50% senior notes due 2033, which are guaranteed by the Company and its subsidiaries that guarantee the Credit Agreement. The $625 Million 6.50% Senior Notes and guarantees were issued pursuant to an indenture by and among the issuing subsidiaries, the guarantors and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee. The $625 Million 6.50% Senior Notes have a maturity date of June 15, 2033 and bear interest at 6.50% per annum, payable semi-annually in cash in arrears on June 15 and December 15 each year, beginning on December 15, 2025. The $625 Million 6.50% Senior Notes are general unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of the issuing subsidiaries and rank equal in right of payment with such subsidiaries’ existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness, including the $1 Billion 6.50% Senior Notes, the $700 Million 4.75% Senior Notes, the $600 Million 4.50% Senior Notes and the $400 Million 7.25% Senior Notes, and senior in right of payment to future subordinated indebtedness, if any. The $625 Million 6.50% Senior Notes are effectively subordinated to the issuing subsidiaries’ secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness. The guarantees rank equally in right of payment with the applicable guarantor’s existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness and senior in right of payment to any future subordinated indebtedness of such guarantor. The $625 Million 6.50% Senior Notes are effectively subordinated to any secured indebtedness of any guarantor to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness and structurally subordinated to all indebtedness and other obligations of the Operating Partnership’s subsidiaries that do not guarantee the $625 Million 6.50% Senior Notes.

The net proceeds from the issuance of the $625 Million 6.50% Senior Notes totaled approximately $614 million, after deducting the initial purchasers’ discounts, commissions and offering expenses. We used these net proceeds to fund a portion of the purchase price for JW Marriott Desert Ridge.

The $625 Million 6.50% Senior Notes are redeemable before June 15, 2028, in whole or in part, at 100.00%, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not including, the redemption date, plus a make-whole premium. The $625 Million 6.50% Senior Notes will be redeemable, in whole or in part, at any time on or after June 15, 2028 at a redemption price expressed as a percentage of the principal amount thereof, which percentage is 103.250%, 101.625%, and 100.000% beginning on June 15 of 2028, 2029, and 2030, respectively, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not including, the redemption date.

$600 Million 4.50% Senior Notes. In February 2021, the Operating Partnership and Finco completed the private placement of $600.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 4.50% senior notes due 2029, which are guaranteed by the Company and its subsidiaries that guarantee the Credit Agreement. The $600 Million 4.50% Senior Notes and guarantees were issued pursuant to an indenture by and among the issuing subsidiaries and the guarantors and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association as trustee. The $600 Million 4.50% Senior Notes have a maturity date of February 15, 2029 and bear interest at 4.50% per annum, payable semi-annually in cash in arrears on February 15 and August 15 each year. The $600 Million 4.50% Senior Notes are general unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of the issuing subsidiaries and rank equal in right of payment with such subsidiaries’ existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness, including the $1 Billion 6.50% Senior Notes, the $700 Million 4.75% Senior Notes, the $625 Million 6.50% Senior Notes and the $400 Million 7.25% Senior Notes, and senior in right of payment to future subordinated indebtedness, if any. The $600 Million 4.50% Senior Notes are effectively subordinated to the issuing subsidiaries’ secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness. The guarantees rank equally in right of payment with the applicable guarantor’s existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness and senior in right of payment to any future subordinated indebtedness of such guarantor. The $600 Million 4.50% Senior Notes are effectively subordinated to any secured indebtedness of any guarantor to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness and structurally subordinated to all indebtedness and other obligations of the Operating Partnership’s subsidiaries that do not guarantee the $600 Million 4.50% Senior Notes. 47

Table of Contents The $600 Million 4.50% Senior Notes are currently redeemable, in whole or in part, at a redemption price expressed as a percentage of the principal amount thereof, which percentage is currently 101.500% and will be 100.750%, and 100.000% beginning on February 15 of 2026, and 2027, respectively, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not including, the redemption date.

$400 Million 7.25% Senior Notes. On June 22, 2023, the Operating Partnership and Finco completed the private placement of $400.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 7.25% senior notes due 2028, which are guaranteed by the Company and its subsidiaries that guarantee the Credit Agreement. The $400 Million 7.25% Senior Notes and guarantees were issued pursuant to an indenture by and among the issuing subsidiaries, the guarantors and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association as trustee. The $400 Million 7.25% Senior Notes have a maturity date of July 15, 2028 and bear interest at 7.25% per annum, payable semi-annually in cash in arrears on January 15 and July 15 each year.

The $400 Million 7.25% Senior Notes are effectively subordinated to the issuing subsidiaries’ secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness. The guarantees rank equally in right of payment with the applicable guarantor’s existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness and senior in right of payment to any future subordinated indebtedness of such guarantor. The $400 Million 7.25% Senior Notes are effectively subordinated to any secured indebtedness of any guarantor to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness and structurally subordinated to all indebtedness and other obligations of the Operating Partnership’s subsidiaries that do not guarantee the $400 Million 7.25% Senior Notes.

The $400 Million 7.25% Senior Notes are currently redeemable, in whole or in part, at a redemption price expressed as a percentage of the principal amount thereof, which percentage is currently 103.625% and will be 101.813% and 100.000% beginning on July 15 of 2026, and 2027, respectively, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not including, the redemption date.

Each of the indentures governing the $1 Billion 6.50% Senior Notes, the $700 Million 4.75% Senior Notes, the $625 Million 6.50% Senior Notes, the $600 Million 4.50% Senior Notes and the $400 Million 7.25% Senior Notes contain certain covenants which, among other things and subject to certain exceptions and qualifications, limit the incurrence of additional indebtedness, investments, dividends, transactions with affiliates, asset sales, acquisitions, mergers and consolidations, liens and encumbrances and other matters customarily restricted in such agreements. In addition, if the Company experiences specific kinds of changes of control, the Company must offer to repurchase some or all of the senior notes at 101% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, up to, but excluding, the repurchase date.

OEG Credit Agreement. On June 28, 2024, OEG Borrower, LLC (“OEG Borrower”) and OEG Finance, LLC (“OEG Finance”), each a wholly owned direct or indirect subsidiary of OEG, entered into a certain First Amendment, which amends the Credit Agreement dated as of June 16, 2022 among OEG Borrower, as borrower, OEG Finance, certain subsidiaries of OEG Borrower from time to time party thereto as guarantors, the lenders party thereto and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent (as amended, the “2024 OEG Credit Agreement”).

The 2024 OEG Credit Agreement provides for (i) a senior secured term loan facility in the aggregate amount of $300.0 million (the “2024 OEG Term Loan”) and (ii) a senior secured revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $80.0 million (the “OEG Revolver”). The 2024 OEG Term Loan refinanced and replaced the former term loan in the outstanding principal amount of $294.8 million as of June 28, 2024 and the OEG Revolver refinanced and replaced the senior secured revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $65.0 million.

On April 28, 2025, OEG Borrower and OEG Finance entered into a Second Amendment, which amended the 2024 OEG Credit Agreement (as amended, the “OEG Credit Agreement”) in which OEG Borrower obtained an incremental term loan in an aggregate principal amount equal to $130.0 million (the “Incremental OEG Loan”) on the same terms as the 2024 OEG Term Loan. The net proceeds of the Incremental OEG Loan, together with cash on hand, were used to defease the Block 21 CMBS Loan (as defined below) in full, which releases the borrower thereunder from the $127.9 million amount outstanding under the Block 21 CMBS Loan. As amended by the Second Amendment, the OEG Credit 48

Table of Contents Agreement provides for (i) a senior secured term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount equal to $428.5 million (the “OEG Term Loan”) and (ii) the OEG Revolver. The Incremental OEG Loan did not change any applicable interest rates or maturity dates of any indebtedness under the 2024 OEG Credit Agreement. In addition, the terms of the Incremental OEG Loan confirm that the annual amortization under the 2024 OEG Term Loan is approximately 1% of the refinanced $428.5 million outstanding principal amount, with the balance due at maturity.

At September 30, 2025, $426.3 million was outstanding under the OEG Term Loan, and there were no amounts outstanding under the OEG Revolver.

The OEG Term Loan and the OEG Revolver are each secured by substantially all of the assets of OEG Finance and each of its subsidiaries. The OEG Term Loan bears interest at a rate equal to either, at OEG Borrower’s election, as of the closing contemplated by the OEG Credit Agreement: (a) the Alternate Base Rate plus 2.50% or (b) Adjusted Term SOFR plus 3.50% (all as more specifically described in the OEG Credit Agreement). In November 2022, OEG entered into an interest rate swap to fix the SOFR portion of the interest rate on $100.0 million of borrowings at 4.533% through December 2025. In August 2025, OEG entered into an interest rate swap to fix the SOFR portion of the interest rate on $100.0 million of borrowings at 3.214% from December 2025 through December 2028. In September 2025, OEG entered into an additional interest rate swap to fix the SOFR portion of the interest rate on $125.0 million of borrowings at 3.17% through December 2028.

Borrowings under the OEG Revolver bear interest at a rate equal to either, at OEG Borrower’s election, as of the closing contemplated by the OEG Credit Agreement: (a) the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate (as defined in the OEG Credit Agreement) or (b) Adjusted Term SOFR plus the Applicable Rate. Under the OEG Credit Agreement, (i) the Applicable Rate for Alternative Base Rate loans will be between 2.75% and 2.25% and (ii) the Applicable Rate for Adjusted Term SOFR loans will be between 3.75% and 3.25%, in each of (i) and (ii) based upon the First Lien Leverage Ratio of OEG Finance and its consolidated subsidiaries (as more specifically described in the OEG Credit Agreement).

The Applicable Rate for borrowings under the OEG Revolver as of September 30, 2025 is 2.50% for Alternative Base Rate Loans and 3.50% for Adjusted Term SOFR loans. The Applicable Rate for borrowings under the OEG Term Loan as of September 30, 2025 is 2.50% for Alternative Base Rate Loans and 3.50% for Adjusted Term SOFR loans.

The OEG Term Loan matures on June 28, 2031 and the OEG Revolver matures on June 28, 2029.

Block 21 CMBS Loan. In connection with the purchase of Block 21 in May 2022, a subsidiary of the Company assumed the $136 million, ten-year, non-recourse term loan secured by a mortgage on Block 21 (the “Block 21 CMBS Loan”). The proceeds of the Incremental OEG Loan described above were used to defease the Block 21 CMBS Loan in full in April 2025.

Additional Debt Limitations. Pursuant to the terms of the management agreements and pooling agreement with Marriott for our Gaylord Hotels properties, excluding Gaylord Rockies, we are subject to certain debt limitations described below.

The management agreements provide for the following limitations on indebtedness encumbering a hotel:

The aggregate principal balance of all mortgage and mezzanine debt encumbering the hotel shall be no greater than 75% of the fair market value of the hotel; and
The ratio of (a) aggregate Operating Profit (as defined in the management agreement) in the 12 months prior to the closing on the mortgage or mezzanine debt to (b) annual debt service for the hotel shall equal or exceed 1.2:1; but is subject to the pooling agreement described below.
--- ---

The pooled limitations on Secured Debt (as defined in the pooling agreement) are as follows:

The aggregate principal balance of all mortgage and mezzanine debt on Pooled Hotels (as defined in the pooling agreement), shall be no more than 75% of the fair market value of Pooled Hotels.

49

Table of Contents

The ratio of (a) aggregate Operating Profit (as defined in the pooling agreement) of Pooled Hotels in the 12 months prior to closing on any mortgage or mezzanine debt to (b) annual debt service for the Pooled Hotels, shall equal or exceed 1.2:1.

Gaylord Rockies is not a Pooled Hotel for this purpose.

Estimated Interest on Principal Debt Agreements

Based on the stated interest rates on our fixed-rate debt and the rates in effect at September 30, 2025 for our variable-rate debt after considering interest rate swaps, our estimated interest obligations through 2029 are $880.0 million. These estimated obligations are $61.2 million for the remainder of 2025, $244.5 million in 2026, $237.0 million in 2027, $196.9 million in 2028, and $140.4 million in 2029. Variable rates, as well as outstanding principal balances, could change in future periods. See “Principal Debt Agreements” above for a discussion of our outstanding long-term debt. See “Supplemental Cash Flow Information” in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 for a discussion of the interest we paid during 2024, 2023 and 2022.

Inflation

Inflation has had a more meaningful impact on our business during recent periods than in historical periods. However, favorable ADR and outside-the-room spend in our Hospitality segment and business levels in our Entertainment segment in recent periods have reduced the impact of increased operating costs on our financial position and results of operations.

Additionally, increased interest rates have driven higher interest expense on our debt than in historical periods, although interest rates on our debt have decreased in the 2025 period, as compared to the 2024 period. In an effort to mitigate the impact of increased interest rates, at September 30, 2025, 88% of our outstanding debt is fixed-rate debt, after considering the impact of interest rate swaps.

A prolonged inflationary environment could adversely affect our operating costs, customer spending and bookings, and our financial results.

Supplemental Guarantor Financial Information

The Company’s $1 Billion 6.50% Senior Notes, $700 Million 4.75% Senior Notes, $625 Million 6.50% Senior Notes, $600 Million 4.50% Senior Notes and $400 Million 7.25% Senior Notes were each issued by the Operating Partnership and Finco (collectively, the “Issuers”), and are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by the Company (as the parent company), each of the Operating Partnership’s subsidiaries that own the Gaylord Hotels properties, the JW Marriott properties and certain other of the Company’s subsidiaries, each of which also guarantees the Credit Agreement, as amended (such subsidiary guarantors, together with the Company, the “Guarantors”). The Guarantors are 100% owned by the Operating Partnership or the Company, and the guarantees are full and unconditional and joint and several. The guarantees rank equally in right of payment with each Guarantor’s existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness and senior in right of payment to all future subordinated indebtedness, if any, of such Guarantor. Not all of the Company’s subsidiaries have guaranteed these senior notes, and the guarantees are structurally subordinated to all indebtedness and other obligations of such subsidiaries that have not guaranteed these senior notes. 50

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

We prepare our condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP. Certain of our accounting policies, including those related to impairment of long-lived and other assets, credit losses on financial assets, income taxes, acquisitions and purchase price allocations, and legal contingencies, require that we apply significant judgment in defining the appropriate assumptions for calculating financial estimates. By their nature, these judgments are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. Our judgments are based on our historical experience, our observance of trends in the industry, and information available from other outside sources, as appropriate. There can be no assurance that actual results will not differ from our estimates. For a discussion of our critical accounting policies and estimates, please refer to Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” presented in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. There were no newly identified critical accounting policies in the first nine months of 2025, nor were there any material changes to the critical accounting policies and estimates discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

There have been no material changes in our quantitative and qualitative market risks since December 31, 2024. For a discussion of the Company’s exposure to market risk, refer to the Company’s market risk disclosures set forth in Part II, Item 7A, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act, that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The Company carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of 51

Table of Contents our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on the evaluation of these disclosure controls and procedures, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

On June 10, 2025, we acquired JW Marriott Desert Ridge. We are currently in the process of assessing JW Marriott Desert Ridge’s internal control over financial reporting and integrating the entity’s internal control over financial reporting with our existing internal control over financial reporting. As permitted by SEC regulations, we intend to exclude JW Marriott Desert Ridge from our assessment of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

The Company is a party to certain litigation in the ordinary course, as described in Note 13, “Commitments and Contingencies,” to our condensed consolidated financial statements included herein and which our management deems will not have a material effect on our financial statements.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.

Except as otherwise described herein, there have been no material changes from the risk factors disclosed in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Our financial and operating results may suffer if we are unsuccessful in integrating JW Marriott Desert Ridge with our existing assets.

If we are unable to successfully integrate JW Marriott Desert Ridge with our other assets in an efficient and effective manner, the anticipated benefits of the JW Marriott Desert Ridge transaction may not be fully realized, or at all, or may take longer to realize than expected and may not meet estimated growth projections or expectations. Further, we may not achieve the projected efficiencies and synergies once we have fully integrated JW Marriott Desert Ridge into our operations, which may lead to additional costs not anticipated at the time of the JW Marriott Desert Ridge transaction. An inability to realize the full extent of the anticipated benefits of the JW Marriott Desert Ridge transaction or any delays encountered in the integration process could have an adverse effect on our results of operations, cash flows and financial position.

Integrating JW Marriott Desert Ridge may be more difficult, costly or time consuming than expected.

The integrations of JW Marriott Desert Ridge with our other assets will require the dedication of significant management resources, which may distract management’s attention from day-to-day business operations. Phoenix, Arizona is a new market for us, and our relative unfamiliarity with the market may result in our having to devote additional time and expense to gain familiarity with the market and effectively manage this asset. Many of these factors will be outside of our control and any one of them could result in delays, increased costs, decreases in revenues and diversion of management’s time and energy from ongoing business concerns, which could materially affect our results of operations, cash flows and financial position.

Each of our Gaylord Hotels properties and JW Marriott properties operate under a brand owned by Marriott; therefore, we are subject to risks associated with concentrating our hotel portfolio in brands owned by Marriott.

Each of our hotel properties are managed by Marriott under Marriott-owned brands. As a result, our success is dependent in part on the continued success of Marriott and, in particular, the Gaylord Hotels and JW Marriott brands. Consequently, if market recognition or the positive perception of Marriott is reduced or compromised, the goodwill associated with the Gaylord Hotels properties and JW Marriott properties in our portfolio may be adversely affected, 52

Table of Contents which could negatively impact our results of operations, cash flows, financial position and our ability to service debt and make distributions to our stockholders.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS.

Inapplicable.

ITEM 3. DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES.

Inapplicable.

ITEM 4. MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURES.

Inapplicable.

ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION.

During the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2025, none of our directors or officers (as defined in Rule 16a-1(f) of the Exchange Act) adopted or terminated a “Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement” or “non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement” (in each case, as defined in Item 408 of Regulation S-K).

SECTION 906 OF THE SARBANES-OXLEY ACT OF 2002
