Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Organization
Apple Hospitality REIT, Inc., together with its wholly-owned subsidiaries (the “Company”), is a Virginia corporation that has elected to be treated as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for federal income tax purposes. The Company is a self-advised REIT that invests in income-producing real estate, primarily in the lodging sector, in the United States (“U.S.”). The Company’s fiscal year end is December 31. The Company has no foreign operations or assets and its operating structure includes only
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations for reporting on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. These unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 (the “2018 Form 10-K”). Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the twelve month period ending December 31, 2019.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Net Income Per Common Share
Basic net income per common share is computed based upon the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per common share is calculated after giving effect to all potential common shares that were dilutive and outstanding for the period. Basic and diluted net income per common share were the same for each of the periods presented.
Accounting Standards Recently Adopted
In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which replaces Leases (Topic 840), and along with subsequent amendments, provides the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both parties to a contract (i.e. lessees and lessors). Under the new standard, lessees are required to recognize most leases on their balance sheets as right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. Leases are classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. Leases with a term of 12 months or less are accounted for similarly to the previous accounting guidance under Leases (Topic 840), for operating leases. Topic 842 requires a modified retrospective transition approach for all leases existing at, or entered into after, the date of initial application, with an option to use certain transition relief. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842), Targeted Improvements, which provides entities another optional transition method, which the Company elected, to apply the new standard using the modified retrospective approach at its effective date, versus restating the prior periods presented, and recognizing a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings for the effect of initially applying Topic 842 in the period of adoption. Consequently, an entity’s reporting for periods presented prior to adoption of the new lease requirements in the consolidated financial statements would continue in accordance with Leases (Topic 840), including disclosures.
The Company adopted Topic 842 effective January 1, 2019, electing to recognize and measure its leases prospectively at the beginning of the period of adoption through a cumulative-effect adjustment to shareholders’ equity, without restating the presentation of periods prior to the effective date, which continue to be reported in accordance with the Company’s historical accounting policy. At adoption, the Company recorded a cumulative-effect adjustment totaling approximately $
At adoption of the new standard, the Company recorded right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for its ground leases and certain other operating leases (including hotel equipment leases and office space leases) measured at the estimated present value of the remaining minimum lease payments under the leases.

The Company used borrowings under its revolving credit facility to purchase each of these hotels. The acquisitions of these hotel properties were accounted for as an acquisition of a group of assets, with costs incurred to effect the acquisition, which were not significant, capitalized as part of the cost of the assets acquired. For the two hotels acquired during the six months ended June 30, 2019, the amount of revenue and operating income included in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations from the date of acquisition through June 30, 2019 was approximately $

5. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Except as described below, the carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments.
Debt
The Company estimates the fair value of its debt by discounting the future cash flows of each instrument at estimated market rates consistent with the maturity of a debt obligation with similar credit terms and credit characteristics, which are Level 3 inputs under the fair value hierarchy. Market rates take into consideration general market conditions and maturity. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, both the carrying value and estimated fair value of the Company’s debt were approximately $
Derivative Instruments
Currently, the Company uses interest rate swaps to manage its interest rate risks on variable-rate debt. Throughout the terms of these interest rate swaps, the

9. Leases
The Company is the lessee on certain ground leases, hotel equipment leases and office space leases. As of June 30, 2019, the Company had
The Company adopted ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), as discussed further in Note 1 in the section titled “Accounting Standards Recently Adopted”, effective January 1, 2019, which requires leases with durations greater than twelve months to be recognized on the balance sheet as right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities. Prior year financial statements were not restated under the new standard and, therefore, those amounts are not presented below.
Under the new standard, the Company’s leases are classified as operating or finance leases. For leases with terms greater than 12 months, the Company recognizes a ROU asset and lease liability at the estimated present value of the minimum lease payments over the lease term. ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Many of the Company’s leases include rental escalation clauses (including fixed schedule rent increases) and renewal options that are factored into the determination of lease payments when appropriate and the present value of the remaining lease payments is adjusted accordingly. The Company utilizes interest rates implicit in the lease if determinable or, if not, it estimates its incremental borrowing rate from information available at lease commencement, to determine the present value of the lease payments. At transition to the new standard, the Company used information available at that time to determine the incremental borrowing rates on its existing leases at January 1, 2019 based on estimates of rates the Company would pay for senior collateralized loans with terms similar to each lease.

Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by use of statements that include phrases such as “may,” “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “estimate,” “project,” “target,” “goal,” “plan,” “should,” “will,” “predict,” “potential,” “outlook,” “strategy,” and similar expressions that convey the uncertainty of future events or outcomes. Such statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance, or achievements of the Company to be materially different from future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such factors include, but are not limited to, the ability of the Company to effectively acquire and dispose of properties; the ability of the Company to implement its operating strategy; changes in general political, economic and competitive conditions and specific market conditions; adverse changes in the real estate and real estate capital markets; financing risks; litigation risks; regulatory proceedings or inquiries; and changes in laws or regulations or interpretations of current laws and regulations that impact the Company’s business, assets or classification as a REIT. Although the Company believes that the assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements contained herein are reasonable, any of the assumptions could be inaccurate, and therefore there can be no assurance that such statements included in this Quarterly Report will prove to be accurate. In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking statements included herein, the inclusion of such information should not be regarded as a representation by the Company or any other person that the results or conditions described in such statements or the objectives and plans of the Company will be achieved. In addition, the Company’s qualification as a REIT involves the application of highly technical and complex provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. Readers should carefully review the risk factors described in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), including but not limited to those discussed in the section titled “Risk Factors” in the 2018 Form 10-K. Any forward-looking statement that the Company makes speaks only as of the date of this Quarterly Report. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements or cautionary factors, as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise, except as required by law.
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto, appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as well as the information contained in the 2018 Form 10-K.
Overview
The Company is a Virginia corporation that has elected to be treated as a REIT for federal income tax purposes. The Company is self-advised and invests in income-producing real estate, primarily in the lodging sector, in the U.S. As of June 30, 2019, the Company owned 234 hotels with an aggregate of 30,046 rooms located in urban, high-end suburban and developing markets throughout 34 states. All of the Company’s hotels operate under Marriott, Hilton or Hyatt brands. The hotels are operated and managed under separate management agreements with 23 hotel management companies, none of which are affiliated with the Company. The Company’s common shares are listed on the NYSE under the ticker symbol “APLE.”
New Lease Accounting Standard
On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), electing to recognize and measure its leases prospectively at the beginning of the period of adoption through a cumulative-effect adjustment to shareholders’ equity, without restating the presentation of periods prior to the effective date (the “new lease accounting standard”). Under the new lease accounting standard, beginning in 2019, four of the Company’s ground leases that were previously accounted for as operating leases are accounted for as finance leases. For these finance leases, effective January 1, 2019, the Company recognizes amortization expense, included in depreciation and amortization expense, and interest expense, included in interest and other expense, net, instead of operating ground lease expense, in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. Results prior to January 1, 2019 have not been restated. As a result, the comparability of operating ground lease expense, depreciation and amortization expense, and interest and other expense, net are affected by the implementation of the new lease accounting standard. See Note 1 titled “Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” and Note 9 titled “Leases” in the Company’s Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto, appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, for additional information on the adoption of the new lease accounting standard.
2019 Hotel Portfolio Activities
The Company continually monitors market conditions and attempts to maximize shareholder value by investing in properties that it believes provide superior value over the long term. Consistent with this strategy and the Company’s focus on investing in rooms-focused hotels, the Company acquired two hotels for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $52.4 million during the first six months of 2019: a 160-room Hampton Inn & Suites in St. Paul, Minnesota and a 128-room Home2 Suites in Orlando, Florida. Also, as of July 31, 2019, the Company had outstanding contracts for the potential purchase of seven hotels for a total expected purchase price of approximately $216.1 million, six of which are under development and are planned to be completed and opened for business over the next 12 to 24 months from June 30, 2019, at which time closings on these hotels are expected to occur, and one existing hotel that is expected to close before the end of 2019. There are many conditions to closing that have not yet been satisfied and there can be no assurance that closings on these hotels will occur under the outstanding purchase contracts. The Company utilized its revolving credit facility to fund the completed acquisitions and plans to utilize its credit facilities available at closing for any additional acquisitions.
For its existing portfolio, the Company monitors each property’s profitability, market conditions and capital requirements and attempts to maximize shareholder value by disposing of properties when it believes that superior value can be provided from the sale of the property. As a result, in March 2019, the Company sold nine hotels for a total combined gross sales price of $95.0 million. The net proceeds from the sales were used to pay down borrowings on the Company’s revolving credit facility.
See Note 2 titled “Investment in Real Estate” and Note 3 titled “Hotel Dispositions” in the Company’s Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto, appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, for additional information concerning these transactions.
Hotel Operations
Although hotel performance can be influenced by many factors including local competition, local and general economic conditions in the U.S. and the performance of individual managers assigned to each hotel, performance of the Company’s hotels as compared to other hotels within their respective local markets, in general, has met the Company’s expectations for the period owned. Over the past several years, improvements in the general U.S. economy have been offset by increased lodging supply in many markets, offsetting increases in demand in the lodging sector. With essentially flat growth in revenue per available room (“RevPAR”), the Company’s hotels produced stable operating results during the first six months of 2019 on a comparable basis (as defined below). There is no way to predict future economic conditions, and there continue to be additional factors that could negatively affect the lodging industry and the Company, including but not limited to, increased hotel supply in certain markets, labor uncertainty both for the economy as a whole and the lodging industry in particular, global volatility, government fiscal policies and economic concerns in the U.S. The Company, on a comparable basis, is forecasting slightly negative to slightly positive RevPAR growth for the full year of 2019 as compared to 2018, which reflects modestly lower expectations for demand growth, consistent with lower expected Gross Domestic Product growth in the U.S., relatively consistent anticipated hotel supply growth and slightly favorable comparisons caused by natural disasters.
As of June 30, 2019, the Company owned 234 hotels with a total of 30,046 rooms as compared to 243 hotels with a total of 30,929 rooms as of June 30, 2018. Results of operations are included only for the period of ownership for hotels acquired or disposed of during the current reporting period and prior year. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company acquired one existing hotel on March 4, 2019 and one newly constructed hotel on March 19, 2019, and sold nine hotels on March 28, 2019. During 2018, the Company acquired one newly constructed hotel on May 2, 2018 and four existing hotels (two on February 5, 2018, one on June 28, 2018 and one on December 7, 2018), and sold three hotels (two on July 13, 2018 and one on November 29, 2018). As a result, the comparability of results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 as discussed below is impacted by these transactions.
In evaluating financial condition and operating performance, the most important indicators on which the Company focuses are revenue measurements, such as average occupancy, average daily rate (“ADR”) and RevPAR, and expenses, such as hotel operating expenses, general and administrative expenses and other expenses described below.
The following is a summary of the results from operations of the Company’s hotels for their respective periods of ownership by the Company:

As discussed above, hotel performance is impacted by many factors, including the economic conditions in the U.S. as well as each individual locality. Economic indicators in the U.S. have generally been favorable, which has been offset by increased lodging supply in many of the Company’s markets. As a result, the Company’s revenue and operating results for its Comparable Hotels and Same Store Hotels were generally unchanged during the first six months of 2019 as compared to 2018, which is consistent with industry/brand averages. The Company expects its RevPAR growth and operating results for its Comparable Hotels for the full year of 2019 to be slightly negative to slightly positive compared to its performance in 2018.
Revenues
The Company’s principal source of revenue is hotel revenue consisting of room, food and beverage, and other related revenue. For the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company had total revenue of $341.1 million and $344.7 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company had total revenue of $644.9 million and $643.1 million, respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, Comparable Hotels achieved combined average occupancy of 81.4% and 81.9%, ADR of $141.60 and $140.94 and RevPAR of $115.30 and $115.44. For the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, Comparable Hotels achieved combined average occupancy of 77.8% and 78.4%, ADR of $139.62 and $138.49 and RevPAR of $108.58 and $108.62. ADR is calculated as room revenue divided by the number of rooms sold, and RevPAR is calculated as occupancy multiplied by ADR.
Compared to the same periods in 2018, during the second quarter and first half of 2019, the Company experienced modest increases in ADR offset by modest decreases in occupancy for Comparable Hotels, leaving RevPAR for Comparable Hotels virtually unchanged. Markets/areas with above average growth in the second quarter and first half of 2019 for the Company and industry included Birmingham, Alabama, Sacramento, California, Norfolk, Virginia, and Phoenix and Tucson, Arizona. Markets that were below average for the Company and industry included Houston, Texas, Seattle, Washington and southern Florida. The Company also experienced increased revenue due to demand in the Florida Panhandle, southern Alabama, eastern North Carolina and Anchorage, Alaska related to recovery and restoration efforts related to hurricanes Florence and Michael and the 2018 earthquake in Anchorage, Alaska.
Hotel Operating Expense
Hotel operating expense consists of direct room operating expense, hotel administrative expense, sales and marketing expense, utilities expense, repair and maintenance expense, franchise fees and management fees. Hotel operating expense for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 totaled $187.2 million and $186.5 million, respectively, or 54.9% and 54.1% of total revenue for each respective period, and for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 totaled $362.6 million and $358.9 million, respectively, or 56.2% and 55.8% of total revenue for each respective period, which are consistent with the increases in Comparable Hotels hotel operating expense as a percentage of revenue for the same periods. Increases in labor costs as a percentage of revenue during the first six months of 2019 as compared to the same period in 2018 were the primary cause of the increase in hotel operating expense, which were slightly offset by decreases in utility costs. The Company anticipates continued increases in labor costs due to government regulations surrounding wages, healthcare and other benefits, other wage-related initiatives and lower unemployment rates. The Company will continue to work with its management companies to reduce costs as a percentage of revenue where possible while maintaining quality and service levels at each property.
Property Taxes, Insurance and Other Expense
Property taxes, insurance, and other expense for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 totaled $18.8 million and $18.7 million, respectively, or 5.5% and 5.4% of total revenue for each respective period, and for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 totaled $38.0 million and $35.9 million, respectively, or 5.9% and 5.6% of total revenue for each respective period, which are consistent with the increases in Comparable Hotels expense as a percentage of revenue for the same periods. For the Company’s Comparable Hotels, real estate taxes increased during the first half of 2019 compared to the same period in 2018, with tax increases at certain locations due to the reassessment of property values by localities related to the improved economy, partially offset by decreases at other locations due to successful appeals of tax assessments. With the economy continuing to improve, the Company anticipates continued increases in property tax assessments during the remainder of 2019. The Company will continue to appeal tax assessments in certain jurisdictions to attempt to minimize tax increases as warranted. Additionally, due to increased losses incurred by property insurance carriers during the past few years, the Company’s property insurance costs increased as a percentage of revenue for the first half of 2019 as compared to the same period in 2018 and are anticipated to increase for the remainder of 2019.
Operating Ground Lease Expense
Operating ground lease expense for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 was $0.4 million and $2.9 million, respectively. Operating ground lease expense for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 was $0.8 million and $5.8 million, respectively. Operating ground lease expense in 2019 primarily represents the expense incurred by the Company to lease land for nine of its hotel properties. Operating ground lease expense in 2018 primarily represents the expense incurred by the Company to lease land for 13 of its hotel properties, which, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, included approximately $2.4 million and $4.8 million, respectively, of expense related to four ground leases that were previously classified as operating leases that are classified as finance leases under the new lease accounting standard effective January 1, 2019.
General and Administrative Expense
General and administrative expense for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 was $8.3 million and $6.7 million, respectively, or 2.4% and 1.9% of total revenue for each respective period. For the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, general and administrative expense was $16.4 million and $13.6 million, respectively, or 2.5% and 2.1% of total revenue for each respective period. The principal components of general and administrative expense are payroll and related benefit costs, legal fees, accounting fees and reporting expenses. The increase in expense during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 was due primarily to increased accruals for anticipated performance under the Company’s incentive plans and costs associated with the Company’s senior management changes.
Loss on Impairment of Depreciable Real Estate Assets
Loss on impairment of depreciable real estate assets was $3.1 million for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, which consisted of impairment charges for the two Columbus hotels and the Springdale, Arkansas Residence Inn. See Note 3 titled “Hotel Dispositions” in the Company’s Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto, appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, for additional information concerning these impairment losses.
Depreciation and Amortization Expense
Depreciation and amortization expense for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 was $48.1 million and $45.7 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, depreciation and amortization expense was $96.1 million and $90.6 million, respectively. Depreciation and amortization expense primarily represents expense of the Company’s hotel buildings and related improvements, and associated personal property (furniture, fixtures, and equipment) for their respective periods owned. The increase was primarily due to the increase in the number of properties owned as a result of the acquisition of two hotels in the first quarter of 2019 and five hotels in 2018 and renovations completed throughout 2019 and 2018. Additionally, depreciation and amortization expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 includes approximately $1.1 million and $2.2 million, respectively, of expense associated with amortization of the Company’s four finance ground lease assets in accordance with the new lease accounting standard.
Interest and Other Expense, net
Interest and other expense, net for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 was $15.9 million and $13.2 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, interest and other expense, net was $31.4 million and $25.1 million, respectively, and is net of approximately $0.7 million and $0.5 million, respectively, of interest capitalized associated with renovation projects. Additionally, interest and other expense, net for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 includes approximately $2.1 million and $4.0 million, respectively, of interest recorded on the Company’s four finance lease liabilities in accordance with the new lease accounting standard. Interest expense related to the Company’s debt increased as a result of increased average borrowings in the first half of 2019 as compared to the first half of 2018 resulting from acquisitions and share repurchases, partially offset by the repayment of borrowings with proceeds from dispositions, combined with an increase in the Company’s effective interest rate during the first half of 2019 as compared to the first half of 2018, due to an increase in interest rates on the Company’s variable-rate debt, with the one-month LIBOR increasing from 2.09% at June 30, 2018 to 2.40% at June 30, 2019. The Company anticipates interest rates for the second half of 2019 on its variable rate debt to be consistent with interest rates for the same period in 2018. Interest expense is anticipated to increase in the second half of 2019 compared to the same period in 2018, due to the increase in average borrowings.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company considers the following non-GAAP financial measures useful to investors as key supplemental measures of its operating performance: Funds from Operations (“FFO”), Modified FFO (“MFFO”), Earnings before Interest, Income Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”), Earnings Before Interest, Income Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization for Real Estate (“EBITDAre”), and Adjusted EBITDAre (“Adjusted EBITDAre”). These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered along with, but not as alternatives to, net income, cash flow from operations or any other operating GAAP measure. FFO, MFFO, EBITDA, EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre are not necessarily indicative of funds available to fund the Company’s cash needs, including its ability to make cash distributions. Although FFO, MFFO, EBITDA, EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre, as calculated by the Company, may not be comparable to FFO, MFFO, EBITDA, EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre as reported by other companies that do not define such terms exactly as the Company defines such terms, the Company believes these supplemental measures are useful to investors when comparing the Company’s results between periods and with other REITs.
FFO and MFFO
The Company calculates and presents FFO in accordance with standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“Nareit”), which defines FFO as net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains and losses from the sale of certain real estate assets (including gains and losses from change in control), extraordinary items as defined by GAAP, and the cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles, plus real estate related depreciation, amortization and impairments, and adjustments for unconsolidated affiliates. Historical cost accounting for real estate assets implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values instead have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, most real estate industry investors consider FFO to be helpful in evaluating a real estate company’s operations. The Company further believes that by excluding the effects of these items, FFO is useful to investors in comparing its operating performance between periods and between REITs that report FFO using the Nareit definition. FFO as presented by the Company is applicable only to its common shareholders, but does not represent an amount that accrues directly to common shareholders.
The Company calculates MFFO by further adjusting FFO for the exclusion of amortization of finance ground lease assets, amortization of favorable and unfavorable operating leases, net and non-cash straight-line operating ground lease expense, as these expenses do not reflect the underlying performance of the related hotels. The Company presents MFFO when evaluating its performance because it believes that it provides further useful supplemental information to investors regarding its ongoing operating performance.
The following table reconciles the Company’s GAAP net income to FFO and MFFO for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 (in thousands):

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

EBITDA, EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 include approximately $1.4 million and $2.8 million, respectively, of lease payments recorded to operating ground lease expense related to four of the Company's ground leases that were classified as operating leases during 2018. Under the new lease accounting standard, effective January 1, 2019, these four ground leases are classified as finance leases, for which the Company recognizes amortization expense and interest expense in the Company's consolidated statements of operations (which are both excluded from EBITDA, EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre calculations), instead of operating ground lease expense. |

Related Parties
The Company has, and is expected to continue to engage in, transactions with related parties. These transactions cannot be construed to be at arm’s length and the results of the Company’s operations may be different if these transactions were conducted with non-related parties. See Note 6 titled “Related Parties” in the Company’s Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto, appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, for additional information concerning the Company’s related party transactions.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Capital Resources
The Company’s principal daily sources of liquidity are the operating cash flow generated from the Company’s properties and availability under its revolving credit facility. Periodically, the Company may receive proceeds from strategic additional secured and unsecured debt financing, dispositions of its hotel properties and offerings of the Company’s common shares.
As of June 30, 2019, the Company had $1.4 billion of total outstanding debt consisting of $461.6 million of mortgage debt and $927.7 million outstanding under its credit facilities, excluding unamortized debt issuance costs and fair value adjustments. The Company’s unused borrowing capacity under its $425 million revolving credit facility as of June 30, 2019 was $232.3 million, which is available for acquisitions, hotel renovations, share repurchases, working capital and other general corporate funding purposes, including the payment of distributions to shareholders.
The credit agreements governing the credit facilities contain mandatory prepayment requirements, customary affirmative covenants, negative covenants and events of default. The credit agreements require that the Company comply with various covenants, which include, among others, a minimum tangible net worth, maximum debt limits, minimum interest and fixed charge coverage ratios and restrictions on certain investments. The Company was in compliance with the applicable covenants at June 30, 2019.
See Note 4 titled “Debt” in the Company’s Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto, appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, for a description of the Company’s debt instruments as of June 30, 2019.
The Company has a universal shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (No. 333-231021) that was automatically effective upon filing on April 25, 2019. The Company may offer an indeterminate number or amount, as the case may be, of (1) common shares, no par value per share; (2) preferred shares, no par value per share; (3) depository shares representing its preferred shares; (4) warrants exercisable for the Company’s common shares, preferred shares or depository shares representing preferred shares; (5) rights to purchase common shares; and (6) unsecured senior or subordinate debt securities, all of which may be issued from time to time on a delayed or continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act.
Capital Uses
The Company anticipates that cash flow from operations, availability under its credit facilities, additional borrowings and proceeds from hotel dispositions and equity offerings will be adequate to meet its anticipated liquidity requirements, including debt service, hotel acquisitions, hotel renovations, share repurchases, and required distributions to shareholders (the Company is not required to make distributions at its current rate for REIT purposes).
Distributions
To maintain its REIT status, the Company is required to distribute at least 90% of its ordinary income. Distributions paid during the six months ended June 30, 2019 totaled approximately $134.3 million or $0.60 per common share and were paid at a monthly rate of $0.10 per common share. For the same period, the Company’s net cash generated from operations was approximately $164.1 million.
The Company’s current annual distribution rate, payable monthly, is $1.20 per common share. As it has done historically, due to seasonality, the Company may use its revolving credit facility to maintain the consistency of the monthly distribution rate, taking into consideration any acquisitions, dispositions, capital improvements and economic cycles. Any distribution will be subject to approval of the Company’s Board of Directors and there can be no assurance of the classification or duration of distributions at the current annual distribution rate. The Board of Directors monitors the Company’s distribution rate relative to the performance of its hotels on an ongoing basis and may make adjustments to the distribution rate as determined to be prudent in relation to other cash requirements of the Company. If cash flow from operations and the revolving credit facility are not adequate to meet liquidity requirements, the Company may utilize additional financing sources to make distributions. Although the Company has relatively low levels of debt, there can be no assurances it will be successful with this strategy and may need to reduce its distributions to required levels. If the Company were unable to extend its maturing debt in future periods or if it were to default on its debt, it may be unable to make distributions.
Share Repurchases
In May 2019, the Company’s Board of Directors approved an extension of its existing Share Repurchase Program, authorizing share repurchases up to an aggregate of $360 million. The Share Repurchase Program may be suspended or terminated at any time by the Company and will end in July 2020 if not terminated earlier. During the first quarter of 2019 and 2018, the Company purchased, under its Share Repurchase Program, approximately 0.3 million of its common shares in each respective period, at a weighted-average market purchase price of approximately $14.93 and $16.89 per common share for an aggregate purchase price, including commissions, of approximately $4.1 million and $4.3 million, respectively. No shares were repurchased during the second quarter of 2019 and 2018. Repurchases under the Share Repurchase Program have been funded, and the Company intends to fund future repurchases, with availability under its credit facilities. The timing of share repurchases and the number of common shares to be repurchased under the Share Repurchase Program will depend upon prevailing market conditions, regulatory requirements and other factors.
Capital Improvements
The Company has ongoing capital commitments to fund its capital improvements. To maintain and enhance each property’s competitive position in its market, the Company has invested in and plans to continue to reinvest in its hotels. Under certain loan and management agreements, the Company is required to place in escrow funds for the repair, replacement and refurbishing of furniture, fixtures, and equipment, based on a percentage of gross revenues, provided that such amount may be used for the Company’s capital expenditures with respect to the hotels. As of June 30, 2019, the Company held $30.4 million in reserve related to these properties. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company invested approximately $33.2 million in capital expenditures and anticipates spending an additional $45 million to $55 million during the remainder of 2019, which includes various scheduled renovation projects for approximately 15 to 20 properties. The Company does not currently have any existing or planned projects for development.
Hotel Contract Commitments
As of July 31, 2019, the Company had outstanding contracts for the potential purchase of seven hotels for a total expected purchase price of approximately $216.1 million, six of which are under development and are planned to be completed and opened for business over the next 12 to 24 months from June 30, 2019, at which time closings on these hotels are expected to occur, and one existing hotel that is expected to close before the end of 2019. Although the Company is working towards acquiring these hotels, there are many conditions to closing that have not yet been satisfied and there can be no assurance that closings on these hotels will occur under the outstanding purchase contracts. It is anticipated that the purchase price for these hotels will be funded through the Company’s credit facilities available at closing.
Cash Management Activities
As part of the cost sharing arrangements discussed in Note 6 titled “Related Parties” in the Company’s Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto, appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, certain day-to-day transactions may result in amounts due to or from the Company and ARG. To efficiently manage cash disbursements, the Company or ARG may make payments for the other company. Under the cash management process, each company may advance or defer up to $1 million at any time. Each quarter, any outstanding amounts are settled between the companies. This process allows each company to minimize its cash on hand and reduces the cost for each company. The amounts outstanding at any point in time are not significant to either of the companies.
Business Interruption
Being in the real estate industry, the Company is exposed to natural disasters on both a local and national scale. Although management believes there is adequate insurance to cover this exposure, there can be no assurance that such events will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
Seasonality
The hotel industry historically has been seasonal in nature. Seasonal variations in occupancy at the Company’s hotels may cause quarterly fluctuations in its revenues. Generally, occupancy rates and hotel revenues are greater in the second and third quarters than in the first and fourth quarters. To the extent that cash flow from operations is insufficient during any quarter, due to temporary or seasonal fluctuations in revenue, the Company expects to utilize cash on hand or available financing sources to meet cash requirements.

See Note 1 titled “Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in the Company’s Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto, appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, for information on the adoption of the new lease accounting standard on January 1, 2019.
Subsequent Events
In July 2019, the Company paid approximately $22.4 million, or $0.10 per outstanding common share, in distributions to its common shareholders.
In July 2019, the Company declared a regular monthly cash distribution of $0.10 per common share for the month of August 2019. The distribution is payable on August 15, 2019.
In July 2019, the Company entered into two unrelated purchase contracts for the purchase of two hotels. The first purchase contract is for a hotel that will be constructed in Madison, Wisconsin, for an anticipated gross purchase price of approximately $49.6 million. This hotel is planned to be a Hilton Garden Inn which is expected to contain 176 guest rooms. The second purchase contract is for an existing hotel located in Richmond, Virginia, for an anticipated gross purchase price of approximately $7.3 million. This is an independent boutique hotel containing 55 guest rooms. Although the Company is working towards acquiring these hotels, there are many conditions to closing that have not yet been satisfied, and there can be no assurance that closings on these hotels will occur under the outstanding purchase contracts.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
As of June 30, 2019, the Company’s financial instruments were not exposed to significant market risk due to foreign currency exchange risk, commodity price risk or equity price risk. However, the Company is exposed to interest rate risk due to possible changes in short term interest rates as it invests its cash or borrows on its revolving credit facility and due to the portion of its variable-rate term debt that is not fixed by interest rate swaps. As of June 30, 2019, after giving effect to interest rate swaps, as described below, approximately $320.2 million, or approximately 23% of the Company’s total debt outstanding, was subject to variable interest rates. Based on the Company’s variable-rate debt outstanding as of June 30, 2019, every 100 basis points change in interest rates will impact the Company’s annual net income by approximately $3.2 million, all other factors remaining the same. With the exception of interest rate swap transactions, the Company has not engaged in transactions in derivative financial instruments or derivative commodity instruments. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2019 were $0.
As of June 30, 2019, the Company’s variable-rate debt consisted of its credit facilities, including borrowings outstanding under its $425 million revolving credit facility and $735 million of term loans. Currently, the Company uses interest rate swaps to manage its interest rate risk on a portion of its variable-rate debt. As of June 30, 2019, the Company had seven interest rate swap agreements that effectively fix the interest payments on approximately $607.5 million of the Company’s variable-rate debt outstanding. In addition, in December 2018, the Company entered into two interest rate swap agreements which, beginning January 31, 2020 and May 18, 2020, will effectively fix the interest rate on $25 million and $50 million, respectively, of its variable-rate debt. Under the terms of all of the Company’s interest rate swaps, the Company pays a fixed rate of interest and receives a floating rate of interest equal to the one-month LIBOR.
In addition to its variable-rate debt and interest rate swaps discussed above, the Company has assumed or originated fixed interest rate mortgages payable to lenders under permanent financing arrangements. The following table summarizes the annual maturities and average interest rates of the Company’s mortgage debt and borrowings outstanding under its credit facilities at June 30, 2019. All dollar amounts are in thousands.
