As of August 6, 2021, RLJ Lodging Trust, L.P. owns 100% of the percentage interests of Rangers Sub I, LLC. As of August 6, 2021, FelCor Holdings Trust, a wholly-owned subsidiary of RLJ Lodging Trust, L.P., owns 99% of the percentage interests of FelCor Lodging Limited Partnership, and Rangers General Partner, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of RLJ Lodging Trust, L.P., owns 1% of the percentage interests of FelCor Lodging Limited Partnership.
EXPLANATORY NOTE
On August 31, 2017 (the "Acquisition Date"), RLJ Lodging Trust ("RLJ"), RLJ Lodging Trust, L.P. ("RLJ LP"), Rangers Sub I, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of RLJ LP ("Rangers"), and Rangers Sub II, LP, a wholly owned subsidiary of RLJ LP ("Partnership Merger Sub") consummated the transactions contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") dated as of April 23, 2017 with FelCor Lodging Trust Incorporated ("FelCor") and FelCor Lodging Limited Partnership ("FelCor LP"), pursuant to which Partnership Merger Sub merged with and into FelCor LP, with FelCor LP surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of RLJ LP (the "Partnership Merger"), and, immediately thereafter, FelCor merged with and into Rangers, with Rangers surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of RLJ LP (the "REIT Merger" and, together with the Partnership Merger, the "Mergers").
Where it is important to distinguish between the entities, we either refer specifically to Rangers or to FelCor LP. Otherwise, we use the terms "we" or "our" to refer to Rangers and FelCor LP, collectively (including their consolidated subsidiaries).
This quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2021 combines the filings for Rangers and FelCor LP. Rangers indirectly owns a 99% partnership interest in FelCor LP. Through FelCor LP, Rangers owns hotel properties and conducts other business.
We believe combining the periodic reports for Rangers and FelCor LP into a single combined report results in the following benefits:
•presents the business as a whole (the same way management views and operates the business);
•eliminates duplicative disclosure and provides a more streamlined presentation (a substantial portion of our disclosure applies to both Rangers and FelCor LP); and
•saves time and cost by preparing combined reports instead of separate reports.
Rangers consolidates FelCor LP for financial reporting purposes. Rangers has no assets other than its indirect investment in FelCor LP and no liabilities separate from FelCor LP. Therefore, the reported assets and liabilities for Rangers and FelCor LP are substantially identical.
RLJ LP owns 100% of Rangers. Rangers indirectly owns 99% of FelCor LP. A wholly-owned subsidiary of RLJ LP owns the remaining 1% of FelCor LP, which is a noncontrolling interest that is reflected within the equity section of the consolidated balance sheets and in the consolidated statements of equity. Apart from the different equity treatment, the consolidated financial statements for Rangers and FelCor LP are nearly identical, except that net income (loss) attributable to the 1% noncontrolling interest in FelCor LP is deducted from Rangers' net income (loss) in order to arrive at net income (loss) attributable to Rangers.
We present the sections in this report combined unless separate disclosure is required for clarity.

Rangers Sub I, LLC and FelCor Lodging Limited Partnership
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
(unaudited)
1. General
Organization
Rangers Sub I, LLC ("Rangers") is a Maryland limited liability company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of RLJ Lodging Trust, L.P. ("RLJ LP"). Rangers owns an indirect 99% partnership interest in FelCor Lodging Limited Partnership ("FelCor LP"). Rangers General Partner, LLC, also a wholly-owned subsidiary of RLJ LP, owns the remaining 1% partnership interest and is the sole general partner of FelCor LP. Rangers and FelCor LP are collectively referred to as the "Company." Substantially all of the Company’s assets and liabilities are held by, and all of its operations are conducted through FelCor LP. The Company owns primarily premium-branded, compact full-service hotels located in major markets and resort locations.
As of June 30, 2021, the Company owned 28 hotel properties with approximately 8,100 rooms, located in 13 states. The Company, through wholly-owned subsidiaries, owned a 100% interest in 25 hotel properties, a 95% controlling interest in The Knickerbocker, and 50% interests in entities owning two hotel properties. The Company consolidates its real estate interests in the 26 hotel properties in which it holds a controlling financial interest, and the Company records the real estate interests in the two hotels in which it holds an indirect 50% interest using the equity method of accounting. The Company leases 27 of its 28 hotel properties to subsidiaries of RLJ LP.
COVID-19
The Company's hotel property-owning subsidiaries (the “Lessors”) lease the hotel properties to property-operating lessees owned by TRS subsidiaries of RLJ (the “Lessees”). The Company receives related party lease revenue from these lease agreements, including percentage rent. The percentage rent amounts are calculated based on a percentage of room revenues, food and beverage revenues and other revenues at the hotel properties. As a result, the global outbreak of the novel coronavirus, or COVID-19, and the public health measures that have been undertaken in response have had, and will likely continue to have, a material impact on the Company's financial results and liquidity. Since the extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will continue to impact the Company's operations will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain, the Company cannot estimate the impact on its business, financial condition or near- or longer-term financial or operational results with reasonable certainty. As of June 30, 2021, operations at one hotel located in New York City remained suspended. RLJ will continue to evaluate reopening this hotel based on market conditions and other factors.
As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, two of the Lessees negotiated for and were granted abatements on base rent totaling $2.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, and abatements on base rent totaling $2.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The Lessees have received total abatements on base rent of $5.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021. All of the Lessees negotiated for and were granted abatements on base rent totaling $17.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. None of the Lessees received rent abatements during the three months ended March 31, 2020.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The combined Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 of Rangers and FelCor LP contains a discussion of the Company's significant accounting policies. Other than noted below, there have been no significant changes to the Company's significant accounting policies since December 31, 2020.
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") and in conformity with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") applicable to financial information. The unaudited financial statements include all adjustments that are necessary, in the opinion of management, to fairly state the consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations and comprehensive loss, statements of changes in equity (partners' capital) and statements of cash flows.
The unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020, included in the combined Annual Report on Form 10-K of Rangers and FelCor LP filed with the SEC on February 26, 2021.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Rangers, FelCor LP and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, and joint ventures in which the Company has a majority voting interest and control. For the controlled subsidiaries that are not wholly-owned, the third-party ownership interest represents a noncontrolling interest, which is presented separately in the consolidated financial statements. The Company also records the real estate interests in two joint ventures in which it holds an indirect 50% interest using the equity method of accounting. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the Company’s financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of certain assets and liabilities and the amounts of contingent assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Given the additional and unforeseen effects from the COVID-19 pandemic, these estimates have become more challenging, and actual results could differ from those estimates.
Leases
On April 10, 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued a Staff Q&A to respond to frequently asked questions about accounting for lease concessions related to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Consequently, for concessions related to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, an entity will not have to analyze each contract to determine whether enforceable rights and obligations for concessions exist in the contract and can elect to apply or not apply the lease modification guidance to those contracts. Entities may make the elections for any lessor-provided concessions related to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic (e.g., deferrals of lease payments, cash payments made to the lessee, reduced future lease payments) as long as the concession does not result in a substantial increase in the rights of the lessor or the obligations of the lessee.
As a result of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Lessees, the Company made the determination to abate base rent totaling $2.8 million for two of its Lessees for the three months ended March 31, 2021, and to abate base rent totaling $2.8 million for these Lessees for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The Lessees have received total abatements on base rent of $5.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021. All of the Lessees negotiated for and were granted abatements on base rent totaling $17.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The Company did not abate base rent for any of the Lessees for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The Company has elected to not evaluate whether these rent abatements are lease modifications. The Company has elected to not apply the lease modification guidance to the rent abatements, and, as such, the Company has recognized the rent abatements as negative variable lease revenue of $2.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2021, $2.8 million during the three months ended June 30, 2021, and $17.5 million during the three months ended June 30, 2020. The Company will continue to evaluate the impact of lease concessions and/or abatements and the appropriate accounting.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2019, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. The guidance enhances and simplifies various aspects of the current income tax guidance and reduces complexity by removing certain exceptions to the general framework. The Company adopted this new standard on January 1, 2021. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. The guidance provides optional expedients for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") or another reference rate expected to be discontinued at the end of 2021 because of reference rate reform. The guidance was effective upon issuance and expires on December 31, 2022. Based on the Company's assessment, there was no material impact arising from this guidance and the Company did not elect to apply any of the optional expedients.

4. Investment in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures
As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company owned 50% interests in joint ventures that owned two hotel properties. During the year ended December 31, 2020, one of the unconsolidated joint ventures determined the property ground lease will terminate on October 31, 2021 and the property will revert to the ground lessor at that time.
The Company accounts for the investments in these unconsolidated joint ventures under the equity method of accounting. The Company makes adjustments to the equity in income (loss) from unconsolidated joint ventures related to the difference between the Company's basis in the investment in the unconsolidated joint ventures as compared to the historical basis of the assets and liabilities of the joint ventures. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the unconsolidated entities' debt consisted entirely of non-recourse mortgage debt.

| | | | | | | | Outstanding Borrowings at |
| | Number of Assets Encumbered | | Interest Rate | | Maturity Date | | June 30, 2021 | | | December 31, 2020 |

(1)Requires payments of interest only through maturity.
(2)The Senior Notes (as defined below) include $18.5 million and $20.9 million at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, related to fair value adjustments that RLJ pushed down to the Company's consolidated financial statements as a result of the Mergers.
(3)The Company has the option to redeem the Senior Notes at a price of 102.0% of face value.
(4)Includes $0.9 million at December 31, 2020 related to fair value adjustments on the mortgage loan that RLJ pushed down to the Company's consolidated financial statements as a result of the Mergers. In June 2021, the Company paid off the mortgage loan in full and paid approximately $4.3 million in termination costs.
(5)Includes $0.2 million and $0.3 million at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, related to a fair value adjustment on the mortgage loan that RLJ pushed down to the Company's consolidated financial statements as a result of the Mergers. In July 2021, the Company paid off the mortgage loan in full and paid approximately $1.3 million in termination costs.
(6)The hotels encumbered by the mortgage loan are cross-collateralized.
(7)The mortgage loan provides two one year extension options.
The 6.000% Senior Notes due 2025 (the "Senior Notes") are subject to a maximum unsecured leverage maintenance covenant, which is based on asset value that is calculated at historical cost. In addition, the Senior Notes are subject to various incurrence covenants that limit the ability of the Company to incur additional debt if these covenants are violated. Failure to meet these incurrence covenant thresholds does not, in and of itself, constitute an event of default under the Senior Notes indenture. As of June 30, 2021, the Company was in compliance with all maintenance and incurrence covenants except the interest coverage ratio. As a result, the Company is currently prohibited from incurring additional debt until such ratio becomes compliant.
Certain mortgage agreements are subject to various maintenance covenants requiring the Company to maintain a minimum debt yield or debt service coverage ratio ("DSCR"). Failure to meet the debt yield or DSCR thresholds is not an event of default, but instead triggers a cash trap event. During the cash trap event, the lender or servicer of the mortgage loan controls cash outflows until the loan is covenant compliant. In addition, certain mortgage loans have other requirements including continued operation and maintenance of the hotel property. At June 30, 2021, both mortgage loans were below the DSCR threshold and were in cash trap events. At June 30, 2021, there was approximately $3.4 million in restricted cash held by lenders due to cash trap events. This amount includes approximately $1.8 million of restricted cash held by a lender on the mortgage loan that was paid off in June 2021. Subsequent to June 30, 2021, the Company received these cash trap funds for the paid off mortgage loan.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company recognized $7.6 million and $15.2 million of interest expense, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company recognized $7.8 million and $15.8 million of interest expense, respectively.
6. Related Party Debt
In November 2018, the Company's consolidated joint venture entered into an $85.0 million related party mortgage loan with RLJ LP, which is included in related party debt in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The related party mortgage loan has an interest rate of LIBOR + 3.00% and a maturity date of November 9, 2023. The related party mortgage loan requires payments of interest only through maturity. The hotel property owned by the Company's consolidated joint venture is encumbered by the related party mortgage loan.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company recognized $0.7 million and $1.3 million of interest expense, respectively, related to its related party loan with RLJ LP. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company recognized $0.7 million and $1.7 million of interest expense, respectively, related to its related party loan with RLJ LP.
7. Fair Value
Fair Value Measurement
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received upon the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date in the principal or most advantageous market. The fair value hierarchy has three levels of inputs, both observable and unobservable:
•Level 1 — Inputs include quoted market prices in an active market for identical assets or liabilities.
•Level 2 — Inputs are market data, other than Level 1, that are observable either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted market prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted market prices in an inactive market, and other observable information that can be corroborated by market data.
•Level 3 — Inputs are unobservable and corroborated by little or no market data.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company used the following market assumptions and/or estimation methods:
•Cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash reserves, accounts payable and other liabilities — The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for these financial instruments approximate fair value because of their short term maturities.
•Debt — The Senior Notes had an estimated fair value of approximately $485.9 million and $484.2 million at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. The Company estimated the fair value of the Senior Notes by using publicly available trading prices, which are Level 2 inputs in the fair value hierarchy. The mortgage loans had an estimated fair value of approximately $119.4 million and $204.7 million at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. The Company estimated the fair value of the mortgage loans by using a discounted cash flow model and incorporating various inputs and assumptions for the effective borrowing rates for debt with similar terms and the loan to estimated fair value of the collateral, which are Level 3 inputs in the fair value hierarchy. The total estimated fair value of the Company's debt was $605.3 million and $688.9 million at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. The total carrying value of the Company's debt was $616.5 million and $705.9 million at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.
•Related Party Debt — The Company's related party mortgage loan with RLJ LP had an estimated fair value of approximately $84.4 million and $84.0 million at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. The Company estimated the fair value of the mortgage loan by using a discounted cash flow model and incorporating various inputs and assumptions for the effective borrowing rates for debt with similar terms and the loan to estimated fair value of the collateral, which are Level 3 inputs in the fair value hierarchy. The total carrying value of the Company's related party debt was $85.0 million at both June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.
8. Commitments and Contingencies
Operating Leases - Lessors
As a lessor, the Company will receive lease revenue from the Lessees under its lease contracts. The lease contracts contain a specific base rent amount and a percentage rent amount, which is dependent upon the hotel properties reaching certain revenue thresholds and, if earned, is calculated based on a percentage of room revenues, food and beverage revenues, and other revenues at the hotel properties. For one hotel, the lease contract expires in July 2021. Subsequent to June 30, 2021, the Lessee exercised its renewal option, effective July 2021, for a two-year term expiring in July 2023. The remaining lease contracts expire in 2022 (24 hotels) and thereafter (one hotel). The Company had a receivable due from the Lessees of $40.7 million as of June 30, 2021, which is included in related party rent receivable on the consolidated balance sheet. The Company owed the Lessees $0.5 million for reimbursement of rent as of December 31, 2020, which is included in related party rent payable on the consolidated balance sheet.
As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, two of the Lessees negotiated for and were granted abatements on base rent totaling $2.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, and abatements on base rent totaling $2.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The Lessees have received total abatements on base rent of $5.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021. The Company recognized the rent abatements as negative variable lease revenue of $2.8 million and $5.6 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively. All of the Lessees negotiated for and were granted abatements on base rent totaling $17.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The Company recognized the rent abatements as negative variable lease revenue of $17.5 million during the three months ended June 30, 2020. Additionally, during the three months ended June 30, 2020, the Company recorded a reversal of revenue related to percentage rent recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2020 as estimated percentage rent due was revised pursuant to updated percentage rent calculations for the full year ended December 31, 2020.

The total advance of $4.9 million and $2.7 million as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, is included in advance to Lessee - related party in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
Restricted Cash Reserves
The Company is obligated to maintain cash reserve funds for future capital expenditures at the hotels (including the periodic replacement or refurbishment of furniture, fixtures and equipment ("FF&E")) as determined pursuant to the management agreements, franchise agreements and/or mortgage loan documents. The management agreements, franchise agreements and/or mortgage loan documents require the Company to reserve cash ranging typically from 4.0% to 5.0% of the individual hotel’s revenues. Any unexpended amounts will remain the property of the Company upon termination of the management agreements, franchise agreements or mortgage loan documents. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, approximately $8.3 million and $3.9 million, respectively, was available in the restricted cash reserves for future capital expenditures, real estate taxes and insurance. The restricted cash reserves at June 30, 2021 of $8.3 million also include $3.4 million held by lenders due to cash trap events.
Litigation
Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries is currently involved in any regulatory or legal proceedings that management believes will have a material and adverse effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this report, as well as the information contained in the combined Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 of Rangers Sub I, LLC ("Rangers") and FelCor Lodging Limited Partnership ("FelCor LP"), filed with the SEC on February 26, 2021 (the "Annual Report"), which is accessible on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.
Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information
The following information contains certain statements, other than purely historical information, including estimates, projections, statements relating to our business plans, objectives and expected operating results, and the assumptions upon which those statements are based, that are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These forward-looking statements generally are identified by the use of the words "believe," "project," "expect," "anticipate," "estimate," "plan," "may," "will," "will continue," "intend," "should," or similar expressions. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions, beliefs and expectations, such forward-looking statements are not predictions of future events or guarantees of future performance and our actual results could differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements.
Currently, one of the most significant factors that could cause actual outcomes to differ materially from our forward-looking statements is the continued adverse effect of the current pandemic of the novel coronavirus, or COVID-19, on our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and performance, the real estate market and the global economy and financial markets. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts us will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with certainty, including the duration of the pandemic and its impact on the demand for travel and on levels of consumer confidence, the actions governments, businesses and individuals take in response to the pandemic, including limiting or banning travel, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and actions taken in response to the pandemic on global and regional economies, travel and economic activity, the speed and effectiveness of vaccine and treatment
developments and their deployment, including public adoption rates of COVID-19 vaccines and their effectiveness against emerging variants of COVID-19, such as the Delta variant, and the pace of recovery when the COVID-19 pandemic subsides, among others. Moreover, investors are cautioned to interpret many of the risks identified under the section entitled “Risk Factors” in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 as being heightened as a result of the ongoing and numerous adverse impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Additional factors that might cause such a difference include the following: increased direct competition, changes in government regulations or accounting rules, changes in local, national and global real estate conditions, declines in the lodging industry, seasonality of the lodging industry, risks related to natural disasters, such as earthquakes and hurricanes, hostilities, including future terrorist attacks or fear of hostilities that affect travel and epidemics and/or pandemics, including COVID-19, ramp up of the future economic recovery and re-opening of hotels, our ability to obtain lines of credit or permanent financing on satisfactory terms, changes in interest rates, inflation, duration and access to capital through debt offerings, our ability to identify suitable acquisitions, our ability to close on identified acquisitions and integrate those businesses and inaccuracies of our accounting estimates. Given these uncertainties, undue reliance should not be placed on such statements.
Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. We caution investors not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements and urge investors to carefully review the disclosures we make concerning risks and uncertainties in the sections entitled "Forward-Looking Statements," "Risk Factors," and "Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in our Annual Report, as well as the risks, uncertainties and other factors discussed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and identified in other documents filed by us with the SEC.
Overview
Rangers is a Maryland limited liability company that, through FelCor LP, owns hotel properties and conducts other business. Substantially all of Rangers' assets and liabilities are held by, and all of its operations are conducted through, FelCor LP. 100% of the ownership interests of Rangers are held by RLJ LP, which is the operating partnership of RLJ, one of the largest U.S. publicly traded lodging REITs in terms of both number of hotels and number of rooms. Rangers indirectly owns a 99% partnership interest in FelCor LP. Rangers GP, a wholly-owned subsidiary of RLJ LP, owns the remaining 1% partnership interest and is the sole general partner of FelCor LP.
Our hotel properties are concentrated in markets that we believe exhibit multiple demand generators and attractive long-term growth prospects. We believe premium-branded, compact full-service hotels with these characteristics generate high levels of Revenue per Available Room ("RevPAR"), strong operating margins and attractive returns.
As of June 30, 2021, we owned 28 hotel properties with approximately 8,100 rooms, located in 13 states. We owned, through wholly-owned subsidiaries, a 100% interest in 25 hotel properties, a 95% interest in The Knickerbocker, and 50% interests in entities owning two hotel properties. We consolidate the real estate interests in the 26 hotel properties in which we hold a controlling financial interest, and we record the real estate interests in the two hotels in which we hold an indirect 50% interest using the equity method of accounting. The Company leases 27 of its 28 hotel properties to subsidiaries of RLJ LP.
COVID-19
The Company's hotel property-owning subsidiaries (the “Lessors”) lease the hotel properties to property-operating lessees owned by TRS subsidiaries of RLJ (the “Lessees”). The Company receives related party lease revenue from these lease agreements, including percentage rent. The percentage rent amounts are calculated based on a percentage of room revenues, food and beverage revenues and other revenues at the hotel properties. As a result, the global outbreak of COVID-19 and the public health measures that have been undertaken in response have had, and will likely continue to have, an impact on the global economy and all aspects of our business. Significant events affecting travel, including the COVID-19 pandemic, typically have an impact on booking patterns, with the full extent of the impact generally determined by the duration of the event and its impact on travel decisions. The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic could cause lasting changes in consumer behavior that could create headwinds for our hotel properties. In addition, two of the Lessees negotiated for and were granted base rent abatements totaling $2.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, and base rent abatements totaling $2.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The Lessees have received total base rent abatements of $5.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021. Given the current economic environment, we are continuing to evaluate whether future lease abatements may be granted. Since we cannot estimate when the COVID-19 pandemic and the responsive measures to combat it will end, we cannot estimate the ultimate operational and financial impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business.
The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic have significantly impacted our revenue. Given that the majority of expenses associated with our business relate to depreciation, insurance, property taxes and interest, we are very limited in our ability to reduce our expenses. Combined with macroeconomic trends such as reduced business spending, including on travel, and increased unemployment, we are led to believe that the ongoing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on our operations will continue to have a material impact on our financial results and liquidity.
As of June 30, 2021, operations at one hotel located in New York City remained suspended. RLJ will continue to evaluate reopening this hotel based on market conditions and other factors.
2021 Significant Activities
Our significant activities reflect RLJ's commitment to creating long-term shareholder value through enhancing its hotel portfolio's quality, recycling capital and maintaining a prudent capital structure. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, we repaid $85.0 million of our mortgage loans. Subsequent to June 30, 2021, we repaid $27.4 million of our mortgage loans.
Our Customers
Our Lessors receive lease revenue from the Lessees under lease contracts. The lease contracts contain a specific base rent amount and a percentage rent amount, which is dependent upon the hotel properties reaching certain revenue thresholds and, if earned, is calculated based on a percentage of room revenues, food and beverage revenues, and other revenues at the hotel properties.
Substantially all of our hotel properties consist of premium-branded, compact full-service hotels. As a result of this property profile, the majority of our hotel properties' customers are transient in nature. Transient business typically represents individual business or leisure travelers. As a result, macroeconomic factors that impact both business travel and leisure travel have an effect on our business. Group business is typically defined as a minimum of 10 guestrooms booked together as part of the same piece of business. Group business may or may not use the meeting space at any given hotel. A number of our hotels are affiliated with brands marketed toward extended-stay customers. Extended-stay customers are generally defined as those staying five nights or longer.
Our Revenues and Expenses
Our revenues are derived from lease revenue received under lease contracts with related parties. The lease contracts contain a specific base rent amount and a percentage rent amount, which is dependent upon the hotel properties reaching certain revenue thresholds and, if earned, is calculated based on a percentage of room revenues, food and beverage revenues, and other revenues at the hotel properties.
Our expenses consist of the depreciation on our investment in hotel properties and property taxes, insurance, and other property-related costs of our hotel properties.
Key Indicators of Financial Performance
We use financial information to evaluate the amount of rental income we receive from the Lessees under our lease agreements. We earn a base rent amount and a percentage rent amount, which is dependent upon the hotel properties reaching certain revenue thresholds and, if earned, is calculated based on a percentage of room revenues, food and beverage revenues, and other revenues at the hotel properties. Industry standard statistical information and comparative data, such as Average Daily Rate ("ADR"), occupancy, and RevPAR, are used to measure the operating performance of our hotel properties, including its impact on the amount of rental income recognized from base rent or percentage rent. We also use financial information to evaluate the significance of the property taxes, insurance, and other property-related costs at our hotel properties.
We use a variety of operating, financial and other information to evaluate the operating performance of our business. These key indicators include financial information that is prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). In addition, we use other information that may not be financial in nature, including industry standard statistical information and comparative data. We use this information to measure the operating performance of our individual hotels, groups of hotels and/or business as a whole. We also use these metrics to evaluate the hotels in our portfolio to determine each hotel's contribution to cash flow and its potential to provide attractive long-term total returns. The key indicators included:
•ADR
•Occupancy
•RevPAR
ADR, Occupancy and RevPAR are commonly used measures within the lodging industry to evaluate operating performance. RevPAR is an important statistic for monitoring operating performance at the individual hotel property level and across our entire business. We evaluate individual hotel RevPAR performance on an absolute basis with comparisons to budget and prior periods, as well as on a regional and company-wide basis. ADR and RevPAR include only room revenue.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities at the date of our financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. It is possible that the actual amounts may differ significantly from these estimates and assumptions. We evaluate our estimates, assumptions and judgments on an ongoing basis, based on information that is available to us, our business and industry experience, and various other matters that we believe are reasonable and appropriate for consideration under the circumstances. Our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 contains a discussion of our critical accounting policies and estimates. There have been no significant changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates since December 31, 2020.
Results of Operations
COVID-19
Our hotel property-owning Lessors lease the hotel properties to the property-operating Lessees. We receive related party lease revenue from these lease agreements, including percentage rent. The percentage rent amounts are calculated based on a percentage of room revenues, food and beverage revenues and other revenues at the hotel properties. Beginning in March 2020, the Lessees experienced a significant decline in occupancy and RevPAR due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In response to the government-mandated stay-in-place orders and the significant reduction in demand due to the COVID-19 pandemic, RLJ initially suspended operations at 13 of our hotels. As stay-in-place restrictions were lifted, RLJ developed a framework to open hotels in a socially and financially responsible manner. Based on this framework, RLJ began reopening our hotels during the quarter ended June 30, 2020, and as of June 30, 2021, only one hotel located in New York City remained suspended. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the Lessees benefited from significant growth in demand as a result of increased vaccine distribution, easing of government restrictions and pent-up leisure demand. These trends, combined with RLJ's reopening strategy, led to a significant improvement in our results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to the same periods in the prior year.

Revenues
Related Party Lease Revenue
Related party lease revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2021 increased $28.3 million from the three months ended June 30, 2020. The increase was partially attributable to an increase in percentage lease revenue as a result of higher room revenues, food and beverage revenues and other revenues of the Lessees primarily due to the declining impact of the COVID-19 pandemic during the three months ended June 30, 2021. The percentage rent amounts are calculated based on a percentage of room revenues, food and beverage revenues and other revenues at the hotel properties. In addition, during the three months ended June 30, 2020, we recorded a reversal of revenue related to percentage rent recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2020 as estimated percentage rent due was revised pursuant to updated percentage rent calculations for the full year ended December 31, 2020. Furthermore, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Lessees negotiated for and were granted abatements on base rent totaling $17.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, which exceeded the base rent abatements totaling $2.8 million which were granted for the three months ended June 30, 2021.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization expense for the three months ended June 30, 2021 increased $0.7 million to $19.4 million from $18.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The increase was primarily due to capital expenditures made during and since the three months ended June 30, 2020.
Property Tax, Insurance and Other
Property tax, insurance and other expense for the three months ended June 30, 2021 decreased $0.4 million to $8.8 million from $9.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in real estate tax assessments, which was partially offset by an increase in ground lease expense due to the declining impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, which resulted in higher percentage rent incurred on our ground leases for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The decrease was also partially offset by an increase in property insurance expense due to higher property insurance premiums during the three months ended June 30, 2021.
General and Administrative
General and administrative expense for the three months ended June 30, 2021 decreased $0.4 million to $0.2 million from $0.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The decrease was primarily due to certain litigation costs outside of the normal course of operations which were incurred in the prior year but not in the current year.
Interest Expense
Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2021 decreased $0.2 million to $7.6 million from $7.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The decrease in interest expense was due to the lower average debt balance during the three months ended June 30, 2021 due to scheduled mortgage loan principal payments, as well as a lower average interest rate on our variable rate debt due to decreases in the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR"). These decreases were partially offset by an increase due to reduced amortization for the three months ended June 30, 2021 of the fair value adjustment on a mortgage loan which we paid off in June 2021. RLJ had pushed down this fair value adjustment to our consolidated financial statements as a result of the Mergers.
Related Party Interest Expense
Related party interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2021 decreased $0.1 million from the three months ended June 30, 2020. The decrease in related party interest expense was due to decreases in LIBOR. The related party mortgage loan has an interest rate of LIBOR + 3.00%. In November 2018, our consolidated joint venture entered into an $85.0 million related party mortgage loan with RLJ LP. The hotel property owned by our consolidated joint venture is encumbered by the related party mortgage loan.
Loss on Extinguishment of Indebtedness, net
During the three months ended June 30, 2021, we recognized a net loss on extinguishment of indebtedness of $3.6 million primarily related to early termination costs on a mortgage loan that was paid down during the period. There was no gain or loss on extinguishment of indebtedness during the three months ended June 30, 2020.
Equity in Income (Loss) from Unconsolidated Joint Ventures
Equity in income (loss) from unconsolidated joint ventures for the three months ended June 30, 2021 increased $1.0 million to income of $0.1 million from a loss of $1.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The increase was primarily attributable to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Revenues
Related Party Lease Revenue
Related party lease revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2021 increased $20.6 million to $41.0 million from $20.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase was partially attributable to an increase in percentage lease revenue as a result of higher room revenues, food and beverage revenues and other revenues of the Lessees primarily due to the declining impact of the COVID-19 pandemic during the six months ended June 30, 2021. The percentage rent amounts are calculated based on a percentage of room revenues, food and beverage revenues and other revenues at the hotel properties. Additionally, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Lessees negotiated for and were granted abatements on base rent totaling $17.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 (no abatements were granted for the three months ended March 31, 2020). These base rent abatements exceeded the base rent abatements totaling $5.6 million which were granted for the six months ended June 30, 2021.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization expense for the six months ended June 30, 2021 increased $1.3 million to $38.5 million from $37.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase was due to capital expenditures made during and since the six months ended June 30, 2020.
Property Tax, Insurance and Other
Property tax, insurance and other expense for the six months ended June 30, 2021 decreased $6.6 million to $12.9 million from $19.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The decrease in property tax, insurance and other expense was primarily attributable to a decrease in real estate tax expense due to decreases in real estate tax assessments, including final assessments of certain of our California hotels which had assessments impacted by the Mergers. The final assessment of these California hotels resulted in a benefit of $5.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021 related to the reversal of accrued real estate tax liabilities in excess of the amounts owed. The decrease was partially offset by an increase in property insurance expense due to higher property insurance premiums during the six months ended June 30, 2021.
General and Administrative
General and administrative expense for the six months ended June 30, 2021 decreased $0.6 million to $0.4 million from $1.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The decrease was primarily attributable to our efforts to reduce costs in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and higher corporate office sublease reimbursements in the current period. In addition, the decrease resulted from certain litigation costs outside of the normal course of operations which were incurred in the prior year but not in the current year.
Interest Expense
Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2021 decreased $0.6 million to $15.2 million from $15.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The decrease in interest expense was due to the lower average debt balance during the six months ended June 30, 2021 due to scheduled mortgage loan principal payments, as well as a lower average interest rate on our variable rate debt due to decreases in LIBOR. These decreases were partially offset by an increase due to reduced amortization for the six months ended June 30, 2021 of the fair value adjustment on a mortgage loan which we paid off in June 2021. RLJ had pushed down this fair value adjustment to our consolidated financial statements as a result of the Mergers.
Related Party Interest Expense
Related party interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2021 decreased $0.4 million to $1.3 million from $1.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The decrease in related party interest expense was due to decreases in LIBOR. The related party mortgage loan has an interest rate of LIBOR + 3.00%. In November 2018, our consolidated joint venture entered into an $85.0 million related party mortgage loan with RLJ LP. The hotel property owned by our consolidated joint venture is encumbered by the related party mortgage loan.
Loss on Extinguishment of Indebtedness, net
During the six months ended June 30, 2021, we recognized a net loss on extinguishment of indebtedness of $3.6 million primarily related to early termination costs on a mortgage loan that was paid down during the period. There was no gain or loss on extinguishment of indebtedness during the six months ended June 30, 2020.

Equity in loss from unconsolidated joint ventures for the six months ended June 30, 2021 decreased $0.2 million to $0.2 million from $0.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The decrease was primarily attributable to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our liquidity requirements consist primarily of the funds necessary to pay for operating expenses and other expenditures directly associated with our hotel properties, including:
•redevelopments, conversions, renovations and other capital expenditures that need to be made periodically to our hotel properties;
•recurring maintenance and capital expenditures necessary to maintain our hotel properties in accordance with brand standards;
•operating shortfalls for our hotel property-owning Lessors which have leased hotel properties to property-operating Lessees where operations have been suspended or whose hotels have low occupancy;
•interest expense and scheduled principal payments on outstanding indebtedness; and
•corporate and other general and administrative expenses.
Our hotel property-owning Lessors lease our hotel properties to property-operating Lessees. We receive related party lease revenue from these lease agreements, including percentage rent. The percentage rent amounts are calculated based on a percentage of room revenues, food and beverage revenues and other revenues at the hotel properties. As a result, we believe the ongoing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on our operations continue to have a material impact on our financial results and liquidity. In addition, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, two of the Lessees negotiated for and were granted abatements on base rent totaling $2.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, and abatements on base rent totaling $2.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The Lessees have received total abatements on base rent of $5.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021. Given the current economic environment, we are continuing to evaluate whether future lease abatements may be granted.
We can make no assurances that the assumptions used to estimate our liquidity requirements will remain accurate because the magnitude, duration and speed of the COVID-19 pandemic are uncertain. These uncertainties make it difficult to predict the impact on our business, financial condition or near- or longer-term financial or operational results with certainty.
During the three months ended June 30, 2020, we received a contribution of $50.0 million from RLJ LP to ensure that we can service our debt and maintain our operations.
As of June 30, 2021, we had $64.9 million of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash reserves.
Sources and Uses of Cash
Cash flows from Operating Activities
The net cash flow used in operating activities totaled $37.6 million and the net cash flow provided by operating activities totaled $38.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Our cash flows used in or provided by operating activities generally consist of the net cash received from the hotel property lease agreements between the Lessors and the Lessees, the cash paid for corporate expenses and other working capital changes. Refer to the "Results of Operations" section for further discussion of our operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020.
Cash flows from Investing Activities
The net cash flow used in investing activities totaled $17.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 primarily due to $14.9 million in routine capital improvements and additions to our hotel properties, $0.3 million in contributions to unconsolidated joint ventures and a $2.2 million advance that our consolidated joint venture provided to its Lessee as a result of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Lessee's operations.
The net cash flow used in investing activities totaled $17.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 primarily due to $17.7 million in routine capital improvements and additions to our hotel properties.
Cash flows from Financing Activities
The net cash flow provided by financing activities totaled $54.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 primarily due to $146.8 million in contributions from members (partners). The net cash flow provided by financing activities was partially offset by $2.0 million in distributions to members (partners), $89.3 million in repayment of a mortgage loan and $1.2 million in scheduled mortgage loans principal payments.
The net cash flow provided by financing activities totaled $27.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 primarily due to $104.0 million in contributions from members (partners). The net cash flow provided by financing activities was partially offset by $74.9 million in distributions to members (partners) and $1.3 million in scheduled mortgage loans principal payments.
Capital Expenditures and Reserve Funds
We maintain each of our hotel properties in good repair and condition and in conformity with applicable laws and regulations, franchise agreements and management agreements. Generally, the cost of routine improvements and alterations are paid out of furniture, fixtures, and equipment ("FF&E") reserves, which are funded by a portion of each hotel property’s gross revenues. Routine capital expenditures are administered by us with the assistance of the property management companies. However, we have approval rights over the capital expenditures as part of the annual budget process for each of our hotel properties.
From time to time, certain of our hotel properties may undergo renovations as a result of our decision to upgrade portions of the hotels, such as guestrooms, public space, meeting space, and/or restaurants, in order to better compete with other hotels and alternative lodging options in our markets. In addition, upon acquisition of a hotel property we often are required to complete a property improvement plan in order to bring the hotel up to the respective franchisor’s standards. If permitted by the terms of the management agreement, funding for a renovation will first come from the FF&E reserves. To the extent that the FF&E reserves are not available or sufficient to cover the cost of the renovation, we will fund all or the remaining portion of the renovation with cash and cash equivalents on hand and/or other sources of available liquidity.
With respect to some of our hotels that are operated under franchise agreements with major national hotel brands and for some of our hotels subject to first mortgage liens, we are obligated to maintain FF&E reserve accounts for future capital expenditures at these hotels. The amount funded into each of these reserve accounts is generally determined pursuant to the management agreements, franchise agreements and/or mortgage loan documents for each of the respective hotels, and typically ranges between 4.0% and 5.0% of the respective hotel’s total gross revenue. As of June 30, 2021, approximately $2.3 million was held in FF&E reserve accounts for future capital expenditures.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
Market risk includes the risks that arise from changes in interest rates, equity prices and other market changes that affect market sensitive instruments. Our primary market risk exposure is to changes in interest rates on our variable rate debt. As of June 30, 2021, we had approximately $96.0 million of total variable rate debt outstanding (or 14.0% of total indebtedness) with a weighted-average interest rate of 1.70% per annum. As of June 30, 2021, if market interest rates on our variable rate debt were to increase by 1.00%, or 100 basis points, interest expense would decrease future earnings and cash flows by approximately $1.0 million annually. As of June 30, 2021, we also had approximately $85.0 million of total variable rate related party debt outstanding (or 12.4% of total indebtedness) with a weighted-average interest rate of 3.10% per annum. As of June 30, 2021, if market interest rates on our variable rate related party debt were to increase by 1.00%, or 100 basis points, related party interest expense would decrease future earnings and cash flows by approximately $0.9 million annually.
Our interest rate risk objectives are to limit the impact of interest rate fluctuations on earnings and cash flows and to lower our overall borrowing costs. To achieve these objectives, we manage our exposure to fluctuations in market interest rates through the use of fixed rate debt instruments to the extent that reasonably favorable rates are obtainable. From time to time, we may enter into derivative financial instruments such as interest rate swaps to mitigate our interest rate risk or to effectively lock the interest rate on a portion of our variable rate debt. We do not enter into derivative or interest rate transactions for speculative purposes.
The following table provides information about our financial instruments that are sensitive to changes in interest rates. For debt obligations outstanding as of June 30, 2021, the following table presents the principal repayments and related weighted-average interest rates by contractual maturity dates (in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

(1)Excludes a total of $18.7 million related to fair value adjustments on the debt that RLJ pushed down to our consolidated financial statements as a result of the Mergers.
(2)Excludes $0.5 million of net deferred financing costs on the mortgage loan.
Our ultimate realized gain or loss with respect to interest rate fluctuations will depend on the exposures that arise during future periods, prevailing interest rates and our hedging strategies at that time.
Changes in market interest rates on our fixed rate debt impact the fair value of our debt, but such changes have no impact to our consolidated financial statements. As of June 30, 2021, the estimated fair value of our fixed rate debt was $513.3 million, which is based on having the same debt service requirements that could have been borrowed at the date presented, at prevailing current market interest rates. If interest rates were to rise by 1.00%, or 100 basis points, and our fixed rate debt balance remains constant, we expect the fair value of our debt to decrease by approximately $0.4 million.
