The Company maintains equity method investments in affiliates related to the Company's program to offer equity support to qualified franchisees to develop and operate Cambria Hotels in strategic markets. The Company has investments in affiliates that represent VIEs totaling $26.1 million and $24.5 million on the consolidated balance sheets at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The Company has determined that it is not the primary beneficiary of any of these VIEs, however it does exercise significant influence through its equity ownership and as a result the investment in these affiliates is accounted for under the equity method. For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company recognized losses totaling $1.4 million and $0.8 million, respectively, from these investments that represent VIEs. The Company's maximum exposure to losses related to its investments in VIEs is limited to its equity investments as well as certain limited payment guaranties described in Note 12 of these financial statements.
The Company recognized no impairment charges related to equity method investments during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022.
