Douglas M. Pasquale, Interim Chief Executive Officer, stated, “Our fourth quarter results exceeded our revised expectations after accounting for the lingering impact of the Delta variant which resulted in lower business volumes in the early part of the quarter. Continued strong leisure demand led to record fourth quarter profitability at our comparable resort hotels and our group booking activity during the quarter was the highest it has been since 2019. While short-term impacts from the Omicron variant will persist
1
during the first quarter, an increasing amount of business travel, stronger 2022 citywide convention calendars, and a solid foundation of group business already on the books, point to continued growth in 2022 and 2023.”
Mr. Pasquale continued, “We are pleased to announce the sale of the Hyatt Centric Chicago Magnificent Mile, which further advances our capital recycling efforts. The disposition of the hotel is consistent with our strategy of divesting non-Long-Term Relevant Real Estate to provide incremental capital to fund future growth. We are focused on value creation both within our existing portfolio, including the in-process conversion of the Renaissance Washington DC to a Westin, and external opportunities where we are able to utilize our expertise to add value. I continue to be pleased with the enhanced pace of transaction activity and am impressed with what the management team has achieved during my tenure as Interim CEO.”

Both the Montage Healdsburg and the Four Seasons Resort Napa Valley are newly-developed hotels which opened on limited bases in December 2020 and October 2021, respectively; therefore, there is no prior year information. The Montage Healdsburg’s operating statistics for the year ended December 31, 2021 include prior ownership results, which the Company obtained from the prior owner of the hotel during the due diligence period before the Company’s acquisition was completed. The Company performed a limited review of the information as part of its analysis of the acquisition. |

2021 Highlights
| ● | Increased the concentration of Long-Term Relevant Real Estate® through the accretive disposition of two hotels for a combined gross sale price of $245.5 million. The combined sale price represents a 21.5x multiple on 2019 Hotel Adjusted EBITDAre and a 3.9% cap rate on 2019 Hotel Net Operating Income. |
| ● | Enhanced the overall quality of the portfolio through the acquisition of Montage Healdsburg and Four Season Resort Napa Valley. The two newly-constructed hotels are the market leading assets in the highly desirable California wine region and increase the Company’s exposure to high quality leisure demand. |
| ● | Lowered the Company’s cost of its preferred stock through the issuance of the 6.125% Series H and 5.700% Series I cumulative redeemable preferred stock and the redemption of the 6.950% Series E and 6.450% Series F cumulative redeemable preferred stock. Pro forma for the issuance and redemption, the Company reduced its annual preferred stock dividend payments by more than $1.5 million per year on a comparable proceeds basis. |

Recent Developments
Unsecured Debt Agreement Amendments: On November 22, 2021, the Company amended its Unsecured Debt Agreements, extending the covenant relief period from March 31, 2022 to September 30, 2022, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. In addition, the amendments provide the Company with the right, exercisable one time each with respect to its term loans, to request an extension of the applicable maturity date by twelve months upon the payment of an extension fee of 0.15% of the principal amount being extended. Subsequent to executing the amendments, the Company repaid $76.7 million of its outstanding term loans.
Hilton San Diego Bayfront Mortgage Loan Extension: On December 9, 2021, the Company exercised its option to extend the maturity date of the mortgage loan secured by the hotel from December 2021 to December 2022. The Company has an additional one-year extension option which it expects to use to further extend the loan’s maturity to December 2023.
Four Seasons Resort Napa Valley Acquisition: On December 1, 2021, the Company completed its previously announced acquisition of the fee-simple interest in the 85-room Four Seasons Resort Napa Valley for $177.5 million, excluding closing costs. The acquisition was funded through a combination of cash on hand and $110.0 million borrowed under the Company’s credit facility. The Company repaid the $110.0 million outstanding in December 2021, resulting in zero outstanding under the credit facility and $500.0 million of available capacity as of December 31, 2021.
Embassy Suites La Jolla Disposition: On December 2, 2021, the Company completed its previously announced disposition of the 340-room Embassy Suites La Jolla for a contractual sale price of $226.7 million, and recorded a net gain of $148.8 million on the sale. In conjunction with the sale, the Company assigned the loan secured by the hotel, which had an outstanding balance of $56.6 million, to the hotel’s buyer.
Hyatt Centric Chicago Magnificent Mile Disposition: On February 1, 2022, the Company sold the leasehold interest in the 419-room Hyatt Centric Chicago Magnificent Mile for a contractual sale price of $67.5 million. The sale price represents a 13.3x multiple on 2019 Hotel Adjusted EBITDAre and a 5.6% cap rate on 2019 Hotel Net Operating Income.
At-the-Market Stock Offering and Stock Repurchase Programs Authorization: On February 10, 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors reauthorized the existing “At-the-Market” stock offering program, allowing the Company to issue common stock up to an aggregate offering amount of $300.0 million. In addition, the Company’s Board of Directors reviewed and maintained the existing stock repurchase program, which allows the Company to acquire up to $500.0 million of its common and preferred stock. The authorizations have no stated expirations and future issuances or repurchases under the programs will depend on various factors, including the Company’s capital needs, restrictions under its various financing agreements, as well as the price of the Company’s common and preferred stock.
Hurricane Ida Damage Restoration: As previously announced, the Company’s JW Marriott New Orleans and Hilton New Orleans St. Charles were both impacted in August 2021 by Hurricane Ida, which caused wind-driven damage, rain infiltration and water damage at the hotels. The storm impacted the two hotels to varying degrees with the bulk of the damage incurred at the Hilton New Orleans St. Charles. The Company incurred $0.4 million and $0.9 million of restoration expense during the third and fourth quarters of 2021, respectively, related to the JW Marriott New Orleans, and has concluded that the cost to restore damages at the hotel will not exceed the property’s insurance deductible. For the Hilton New Orleans St. Charles, the Company incurred $1.2 million and $1.7 million of restoration expense during the third and fourth quarters of 2021, respectively. In addition, the Company recorded impairment charges of $1.0 million and $1.7 million in the third and fourth quarters of 2021, respectively, as a result of the write-off of assets at the Hilton New Orleans St. Charles due to hurricane-related damage. The Company is working with its insurers to identify and settle a property damage claim at the Hilton New Orleans St. Charles and expects that losses to the Company will be mitigated by the hotel’s property insurance, subject to the policy’s deductible of approximately $3.0 million. In addition, the Company is also pursuing a business interruption insurance claim at the Hilton New Orleans St. Charles. The Company expects that restoration work on the hotels will be completed by the third quarter of 2022 and that both hotels will remain in operation while the work is performed.
Capital Investments: The Company invested $21.8 million and $63.7 million into its portfolio during the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2021, respectively. In 2022, the Company expects to invest approximately $130 million to $150 million.
Balance Sheet and Liquidity Update
As of December 31, 2021, the Company had $162.7 million of cash and cash equivalents, including restricted cash of $42.2 million, total assets of $3.0 billion, including $2.7 billion of net investments in hotel properties, total consolidated debt of $611.4 million and stockholders’ equity of $2.2 billion.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We present the following non-GAAP financial measures that we believe are useful to investors as key supplemental measures of our operating performance: earnings before interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization for real estate, or EBITDAre; Adjusted
5
EBITDAre, excluding noncontrolling interest (as defined below); funds from operations attributable to common stockholders, or FFO attributable to common stockholders; Adjusted FFO attributable to common stockholders (as defined below); hotel Adjusted EBITDAre; and hotel Adjusted EBITDAre margins. These measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance in accordance with GAAP. In addition, our calculation of these measures may not be comparable to other companies that do not define such terms exactly the same as the Company. These non-GAAP measures are used in addition to and in conjunction with results presented in accordance with GAAP. They should not be considered as alternatives to net income (loss), cash flow from operations, or any other operating performance measure prescribed by GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures reflect additional ways of viewing our operations that we believe, when viewed with our GAAP results and the reconciliations to the corresponding GAAP financial measures, provide a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business than could be obtained absent this disclosure. We strongly encourage investors to review our financial information in its entirety and not to rely on a single financial measure.
We present EBITDAre in accordance with guidelines established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”), as defined in its September 2017 white paper “Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization for Real Estate.” We believe EBITDAre is a useful performance measure to help investors evaluate and compare the results of our operations from period to period in comparison to our peers. NAREIT defines EBITDAre 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 in the affiliate, and adjustments to reflect the entity’s share of EBITDAre of unconsolidated affiliates.
We make additional adjustments to EBITDAre when evaluating our performance because we believe that the exclusion of certain additional items described below provides useful information to investors regarding our operating performance, and that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDAre, excluding noncontrolling interest, when combined with the primary GAAP presentation of net income, is beneficial to an investor’s complete understanding of our operating performance. In addition, we use both EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre, excluding noncontrolling interest as measures in determining the value of hotel acquisitions and dispositions.
We believe that the presentation of FFO attributable to common stockholders provides useful information to investors regarding our operating performance because it is a measure of our operations without regard to specified noncash items such as real estate depreciation and amortization, any real estate impairment loss and any gain or loss on sale of real estate assets, all of which are based on historical cost accounting and may be of lesser significance in evaluating our current performance. Our presentation of FFO attributable to common stockholders conforms to NAREIT’s definition of “FFO applicable to common shares.” Our presentation may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs that do not define the terms in accordance with the current NAREIT definition, or that interpret the current NAREIT definition differently than we do.
We also present Adjusted FFO attributable to common stockholders when evaluating our operating performance because we believe that the exclusion of certain additional items described below provides useful supplemental information to investors regarding our ongoing operating performance, and may facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods and our peer companies.
We adjust EBITDAre and FFO attributable to common stockholders for the following items, which may occur in any period, and refer to these measures as either Adjusted EBITDAre, excluding noncontrolling interest or Adjusted FFO attributable to common stockholders:
| ● | Amortization of contract intangibles: we exclude the noncash amortization of the favorable management contract asset recorded in conjunction with our acquisition of the Hilton Garden Inn Chicago Downtown/Magnificent Mile, along with the unfavorable tenant lease contracts recorded in conjunction with our acquisitions of the Boston Park Plaza and the Hilton Garden Inn Chicago Downtown/Magnificent Mile. We exclude the noncash amortization of contract intangibles because it is based on historical cost accounting and is of lesser significance in evaluating our actual performance for the current period. |
| ● | Gains or losses from debt transactions: we exclude the effect of finance charges and premiums associated with the extinguishment of debt, including the acceleration of deferred financing costs from the original issuance of the debt being redeemed or retired because, like interest expense, their removal helps investors evaluate and compare the results of our operations from period to period by removing the impact of our capital structure. |
| ● | Acquisition costs: under GAAP, costs associated with acquisitions that meet the definition of a business are expensed in the year incurred. We exclude the effect of these costs because we believe they are not reflective of the ongoing performance of the Company or our hotels. |
6
| ● | Cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle: from time to time, the FASB promulgates new accounting standards that require the consolidated statement of operations to reflect the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle. We exclude these one-time adjustments, which include the accounting impact from prior periods, because they do not reflect our actual performance for that period. |
| ● | Other adjustments: we exclude other adjustments that we believe are outside the ordinary course of business because we do not believe these costs reflect our actual performance for the period and/or the ongoing operations of our hotels. Such items may include: lawsuit settlement costs; prior year property tax assessments or credits; the write-off of development costs associated with abandoned projects; property-level restructuring, severance and management transition costs; debt resolution costs; lease terminations; property insurance proceeds or uninsured losses; and other nonrecurring identified adjustments. |
In addition, to derive Adjusted EBITDAre, excluding noncontrolling interest we exclude the noncontrolling partner’s pro rata share of the net (income) loss allocated to the Hilton San Diego Bayfront partnership, as well as the noncontrolling partner’s pro rata share of any EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre components. We also exclude the noncash expense incurred with the amortization of deferred stock compensation as this expense is based on historical stock prices at the date of grant to our corporate employees and does not reflect the underlying performance of our hotels. In addition, we exclude the amortization of our right-of-use assets and liabilities as these expenses are based on historical cost accounting and do not reflect the actual rent amounts due to the respective lessors or the underlying performance of our hotels. Additionally, we include an adjustment for the cash finance lease expense recorded on the building lease at the Hyatt Centric Chicago Magnificent Mile (before the hotel’s sale in February 2022). We determined that the building lease is a finance lease, and, therefore, we include a portion of the lease payment each month in interest expense. We adjust EBITDAre for the finance lease in order to more accurately reflect the actual rent due to the hotel’s lessor in the current period, as well as the operating performance of the hotel. We also exclude the effect of gains and losses on the disposition of undepreciated assets because we believe that including them in Adjusted EBITDAre, excluding noncontrolling interest is not consistent with reflecting the ongoing performance of our assets.
To derive Adjusted FFO attributable to common stockholders, we also exclude the noncash interest on our derivatives and finance lease obligation, as we believe that these items are not reflective of our ongoing finance costs. Additionally, we exclude the noncontrolling partner’s pro rata share of any FFO adjustments related to our consolidated Hilton San Diego Bayfront partnership. We also exclude the real estate amortization of our right-of-use assets and liabilities, which includes the amortization of both our finance and operating lease intangibles (with the exception of our corporate operating lease), as these expenses are based on historical cost accounting and do not reflect the actual rent amounts due to the respective lessors or the underlying performance of our hotels. In addition, we exclude preferred stock redemption charges, changes to deferred tax assets, liabilities or valuation allowances, and income tax benefits or provisions associated with the application of net operating loss carryforwards, uncertain tax positions or with the sale of assets other than real estate investments.
In presenting hotel Adjusted EBITDAre and hotel Adjusted EBITDAre margins, miscellaneous non-hotel items have been excluded. We believe the calculation of hotel Adjusted EBITDAre results in a more accurate presentation of the hotel Adjusted EBITDAre margins for our hotels, and that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors in evaluating our property-level operating performance.
Reconciliations of net income (loss) to EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDAre, excluding noncontrolling interest, FFO attributable to common stockholders, Adjusted FFO attributable to common stockholders, hotel Adjusted EBITDAre and hotel Adjusted EBITDAre margins are set forth in the following pages of this release.
