HOSPITALITY PROPERTIES TRUST
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(dollars in thousands, except share data)
(Unaudited)




Note 1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of Hospitality Properties Trust and its subsidiaries, or HPT, we, our or us, are unaudited. Certain information and disclosures required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, for complete financial statements have been condensed or omitted. We believe the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. However, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017,2018, or our 20172018 Annual Report. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals considered necessary for a fair statement of results for the interim period, have been included. These condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of HPT and our subsidiaries, all of which are 100% owned directly or indirectly by HPT. All intercompany transactions and balances with or among our consolidated subsidiaries have been eliminated. Our operating results for interim periods and those of our managers and tenants are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. Reclassifications have been made to the prior years’ condensed consolidated financial statements to conform to the current year’s presentation.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates in our condensed consolidated financial statements include the allowance for doubtful accounts, purchase price allocations, useful lives of fixed assets, impairment of real estate and the valuation of intangible assets.
We have determined that each of our wholly owned taxable REIT subsidiaries, or TRSs, is a variable interest entity, or VIE, as defined under the Consolidation Topic of the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, Accounting Standards Codification™. We have concluded that we must consolidate each of our wholly owned TRSs because we are the entity with the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact such VIEs’ performance and we have the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from each VIE that could be significant to the VIE and are, therefore, the primary beneficiary of each VIE. The assets of our TRSs were $35,613$34,409 and $33,305$31,917 as of March 31, 20182019 and December 31, 2017,2018, respectively, and consist primarily of amounts due from and working capital advances to certain of our hotel managers. The liabilities of our TRSs were $132,769$135,210 and $140,897$148,459 as of March 31, 20182019 and December 31, 2017,2018, respectively, and consist primarily of security deposits they hold and amounts payable to certain of our hotel managers. The assets of our TRSs are available to satisfy our TRSs’ obligations and we have guaranteed certain obligations of our TRSs.
Note 2. New Accounting Pronouncements
On January 1, 2018, we adopted FASB Accounting Standards Update, or ASU, No. 2014-09 (and related clarifying guidance issued by the FASB), Revenue From Contracts With Customers, which outlines a comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers. ASU No. 2014-09 states that “an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.” While ASU No. 2014-09 specifically references contracts with customers, it may apply to certain other transactions such as the sale of real estate or equipment. The majority of our revenue is from hotels managed under TRS structures. The adoption of this update did not have a material impact on the amount or timing of our revenue recognition for revenues from room, food and beverage, and other hotel level sales of our managed hotels in our condensed consolidated financial statements. A lesser portion of our revenue consists of rental income from leasing arrangements, which are specifically excluded from ASU No. 2014-09. We have adopted ASU No. 2014-09 using the modified retrospective approach.
On January 1, 2018, we adopted FASB ASU No. 2016-01, Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, which changes how entities measure certain equity investments and present changes in the fair value of financial liabilities measured under the fair value option that are attributable to their own credit. The implementation of ASU No. 2016-01 resulted in the reclassification of historical changes in the fair value of our available for sale equity securities of $78,715 from cumulative other comprehensive income to cumulative net income. Effective January 1, 2018, changes in the fair value of our equity securities are recorded through earnings in accordance with ASU No. 2016-01.
On January 1, 2018, we adopted FASB ASU No. 2016-18, Restricted Cash, which requires companies to show the changes in the total of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows. The implementation of ASU 2016-18 resulted in a decrease of $1,990 of net cash used in investing activities for the three months

ended March 31, 2017. This update also requires a reconciliation of the totals in the statement of cash flows to the related captions in the balance sheets. Restricted cash consisting of amounts escrowed by our hotel operators pursuant to the terms of our management agreements and leases to fund periodic renovations and improvements at our hotels totaled $59,533 and $56,713 as of March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. See Notes 3 and 8 for further information regarding our FF&E reserves. The adoption of this update did not change our balance sheet presentation.
In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update, or ASU, No. 2016-02, Leases, which. Additional guidance and targeted improvements to ASU No. 2016-02 were made through the issuance of supplemental ASUs in July 2018, December 2018 and March 2019, or collectively with ASU No. 2016-02, the Lease Standard. We adopted the Lease Standard on January 1, 2019. The Lease Standard sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both parties to a contract (i.e., lessees and lessors). ASU No. 2016-02The Lease Standard requires lessees to apply a dual approach, classifying leases as either finance or operating leases based on the principle of whether or not the lease is effectively a financed purchase of the leased asset by the lessee. This classification will determine whether the lease expense is recognized based on an effective interest method or on a straight line basis over the term of the lease.

Additionally, our leases met the criteria not to separate non-lease components from the related lease component.
As a lessor. We are required to record a right of use asset and a lease liability for all leases with a term of greater than 12 months regardless of their classification. Leases with a term of 12 months or less will be accounted for similar to existing guidance for operating leases today. The new standard requires lessors to account for leases using an approach that is substantially equivalent to existing guidance for sales type leases, direct financing leases and operating leases.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which requires that entities use a new forward lookingforward-looking “expected loss” model that generally will result in the earlier recognition of allowance for credit losses. The measurement of expected credit losses is based upon historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. ASU No. 2016-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We are currently assessing the potential impact the adoption of ASU No. 2016-13 will have in our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and with our 20172018 Annual Report.
Overview (dollar amounts in thousands, except share amounts)
We are a REIT organized under the laws of the State of Maryland.
Management agreements and leases. At March 31, 2018,2019, we owned 323327 hotels operated under nineeight agreements; 320325 of these hotels are leased by us to our wholly owned TRSs and managed by hotel operating companies and threetwo are leased to hotel operating companies. At March 31, 2018,2019, our 199179 owned travel centers were leased to TA under five agreements. Our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income include operating revenues and expenses of our managed hotels and rental income from our leased hotels and travel centers.
Many of our operating agreements contain security features, such as guarantees and security deposits, which are intended to protect minimum returns and rents due to us in accordance with our agreements regardless of property performance. However, the effectiveness of various security features to provide us uninterrupted receipt of minimum returns and rents is not assured, especially if economic conditions generally decline for a prolonged period. Also, certain of the guarantees that we hold are limited in amount and duration and do not provide for payment of the entire amount of the applicable minimum returns. If our tenants, managers or guarantors do not earn or pay the minimum returns and rents due to us, our cash flows will decline and we may be unable to repay our debt, fund our debt service obligations, pay distributions to our shareholders or the amounts of our distributions may decline.
Hotel operations. During the three months ended March 31, 2018,2019, the U.S. hotel industry generally realized increases in occupancy, average daily rate, or ADR, and revenue per available room, or RevPAR, and occupancy compared to the same period in 2017.2018. During the three months ended March 31, 2018,2019, our 303323 comparable hotels that we owned continuously since January 1, 20172018 produced an aggregate year over year increasesincrease in ADR below the industry generally and declines in occupancy ADR and RevPAR below the hotel industry generally.RevPAR. We believe these results are, in part, due to the disruption and displacement at certain of our hotels undergoing renovations, increased competition from new hotel room supply in certain markets and decreased business activity in areas where some of our hotels are located.
For the three months ended March 31, 20182019 compared to the same period in 20172018 for our 303323 comparable hotels that we have owned continuously since January 1, 2017:2018: ADR increased 1.8%1.0% to $127.97;$129.11; occupancy increased 0.1decreased 2.9 percentage points to 71.6%67.4%; and RevPAR increased 2.0%decreased 3.2% to $91.63.$87.02.
For the three months ended March 31, 20182019 compared to the same period in 20172018 for all our 323327 hotels: ADR increased 1.8%0.9% to $127.89;$130.03; occupancy decreased 0.92.8 percentage points to 70.3%67.5%; and RevPAR increased 0.6%decreased 3.1% to $89.91.$87.77.
Additional details of our hotel operating agreements and agreements with TA are set forth in Notes 8 and 10 to our condensed consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in the table and notes thereto on pages 2627 through 2829 below.

References to changes in the income and expense categories below relate to the comparison of condensed consolidated results for the three months ended March 31, 2018,2019, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2017.2018.
Hotel operating revenues. The increase in hotel operating revenues is a result of our hotel acquisitions since January 1, 2017 ($31,808) and increased revenues at certain of our managed hotels due to increases in ADR and higher occupancies ($20,539)17,138), our hotel acquisitions since January 1, 2018 ($12,302) and the conversion of one hotel from a leased to managed property during the 2018 period ($12,181), partially offset by decreased revenues at certain of our managed hotels undergoing renovations during all or part of the 2019 period resulting primarily from lower occupancies ($16,113) and decreased revenues at certain of our managed hotels primarily as a result of lower occupancies ($8,440), decreased revenues as a result of our hotel dispositions since January 1, 2017 ($3,521) and decreased revenues at certain of our managed hotels undergoing renovations during all or part of the 2018 period resulting primarily from lower occupancies ($3,346)15,399). Additional operating statistics of our hotels are included in the table on page 29.30.
Rental income - hotels. The increasedecrease in rental income - hotels is aprimarily the result of the conversion of one hotel from a leased to managed property during the 2018 period ($2,035) and a previously deferred gain becoming fully amortized in 2018 ($738), partially offset by contractual rent increases under certain of our hotel leases and increases in the minimum rents due to us as we funded improvements at certain of our leased hotels since

January 1, 2017.($49). Rental income - hotels for the 20182019 and 20172018 periods includes $95$82 and $96,$95, respectively, of adjustments to record rent on a straight line basis.
Rental income - travel centers. The increasedecrease in rental income - travel centers is a result of the sale of 20 travel centers to TA and our lease amendments with TA in January 2019 ($12,250), partially offset by increases in the minimum rents due to us for improvements we purchased at certain of our travel centers since January 1, 20172018 ($2,008), our travel center acquisitions since January1,132). See Notes 7 and 8 to the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 2017 ($587) and an increase in straight line rent adjustments under our TA leases ($72).of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for more information regarding these transactions. Rental income - travel centers for the 20182019 and 20172018 periods includes $2,984$1,214 and $2,912,

$2,984, respectively, of adjustments necessary to record scheduled rent increases under our TA leases, the deferred rent obligations payable to us under our TA leases and the estimated future payments to us under our TA leases for the cost of removing underground storage tanks on a straight line basis.
FF&E Reservereserve income. FF&E reserve income represents amounts paid by certain of our hotel tenants into restricted accounts owned by us to accumulate funds for future capital expenditures. The terms of our hotel leases require these amounts to be calculated as a percentage of total sales at our hotels. We do not report the amounts, if any, which are escrowed as FF&E reserves for our managed hotels as FF&E reserve income. The increase in FF&E reserve income is the result of increased sales at certain of our leased hotels in the 20182019 period.

Hotel operating expenses. The increase in hotel operating expenses is a result of the conversion of one hotel from a leased to managed property during the 2018 period ($9,533), our hotel acquisitions since January 1, 20172018 ($29,399) and9,385), an increase in wage and benefit costs, sales and marketing expenses and other operating costs at certain of our managed hotels resulting primarily from higher occupancies and general price increases ($10,777)1,666) and an increase in real estate taxes at certain of our hotels ($1,239), partially offset by an increase in the amount of guaranty and security deposit utilization under certain of our hotel management agreements ($4,189), our hotel dispositions since January 1, 2017 ($2,982)11,614), operating expense decreases at certain managed hotels undergoing renovations during all or part of the 20182019 period resulting primarily from lower occupancies ($517)4,791) and a decrease in the amount of guaranty and security deposit replenishment under certain of our hotel management agreements ($229)1,275). Certain guarantees and security deposits which have been applied to past payment deficits may be replenished from a share of subsequent cash flows from the applicable hotel operations pursuant to the terms of the respective managementoperating agreements. When our guarantees and our security deposits are replenished by cash flows from hotel operations, we reflect such replenishments in our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income as an increase to hotel operating expenses. Hotel operating expenses were increased by $1,275 and $1,504 during the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, as a result of such replenishments. There were no replenishments during the three months ended March 31, 2019. When our guarantees and our security deposits are utilized to cover shortfalls of hotels' cash flows from the minimum payments due to us, we reflect such replenishmentsutilizations in our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income as a decrease to hotel operating expenses. Hotel operating expenses were decreased by $10,851$22,465 and $6,662$10,851 during the three months ended March 31, 20182019 and 2017,2018, respectively, as a result of such utilization.
Depreciation and amortization - hotels. The increase in depreciation and amortization - hotels is a result of our hotel acquisitions since January 1, 2017 ($4,438) and the depreciation and amortization of improvements acquired with funds from our FF&E reserves or directly funded by us since January 1, 20172018 ($3,028)6,918) and our hotel acquisitions since January 1, 2018 ($1,339), partially offset by certain of our depreciable assets becoming fully depreciated since January 1, 20172018 ($3,124)4,120).
Depreciation and amortization - travel centers. The increasedecrease in depreciation and amortization - travel centers is a result of our travel center dispositions since January 1, 2018 ($3,061) and certain of our depreciable assets becoming fully depreciated since January 1, 2018 ($1,483), partially offset by the depreciation and amortization of travel center improvements we purchased since January 1, 20172018 ($1,943) and our travel center acquisitions since January 1, 2017 ($219), partially offset by certain of our depreciable assets becoming fully depreciated since January 1, 2017 ($338)155).
General and administrative. The decreaseincrease in general and administrative costs is primarily due to a decreasean increase in business management fees as a result of no estimated incentive fees being accrued for the 2018 period.stock compensation expense.
Operating income.Gain on sale of real estate. Our operating income increasedWe recorded a $159,535 gain on sale of real estate in the 20182019 period compared toin connection with the 2017 period primarily due to the revenue and expense changes discussed above.sales of 20 travel centers.

Preferred distributions. The decrease in preferred distributions is the result of the redemption of all of our outstanding 7.125% Series D cumulative redeemable preferred shares in February 2017.
Excess of liquidation preference over carrying value of preferred shares redeemed. The excess of liquidation preference over carrying value of preferred shares redeemed is the amount by which the liquidation preference for our 7.125% Series D cumulative redeemable preferred shares that were redeemed during the 2017 period exceeded our carrying amount for those preferred shares as of the date of redemption.
Net income and net income available for common shareholders.income. Our net income net income available for common shareholders and net income available for common shareholders per common share (basic and diluted) each increased in the 20182019 period compared to the 20172018 period primarily due to the revenue and expense changes discussed above.
Liquidity and Capital Resources (dollar amounts in thousands, except share amounts)
Our Managers and Tenants
As of March 31, 2018, 3212019, 326 of our hotels (including one leased hotel) were included in seven combination portfolio agreements and twoone of our hotels werewas leased and not included in a portfolio; and all 323327 hotels were managed by or leased to hotel operating companies. Our 199179 travel centers are leased under five portfolio agreements. All costs of operating and maintaining our properties are paid by the hotel managers as agents for us or by our tenants for their own account. Our hotel managers and tenants derive their funding for property operating expenses and for returns and rents due to us generally from property operating revenues and, to the extent that these parties themselves fund our minimum returns and rents, from their separate resources. Our hotel managers and tenants include Marriott, InterContinental,IHG, Sonesta, Wyndham, Hyatt and Radisson. We previously leased one of our hotels to Morgans. As noted below, as of May 8, 2018, we and Morgans terminated that lease and Morgans surrendered possession of the hotel to us; Sonesta is currently managing that hotel. Our travel centers are leased to TA.
We define coverage for each of our hotel management agreements or leases as total property level revenues minus all property level expenses and FF&E reserve escrows which are not subordinated to the minimum returns or rents due to us divided by the minimum returns or rents due to us. More detail regarding coverage, guarantees and other features of our hotel operating agreements is presented in the tables and related notes on pages 2627 through 28.29. For the twelve months ended March 31, 2018, four2019, three of our nineeight hotel operating agreements, representing 19%21% of our total annual minimum returns and minimum rents, generated coverage of less than 1.0x (with a range among those four hotel operating agreements of 0.74xfrom 0.61x to 0.96x)0.97x).
We define coverage for our travel center leases as property level revenues minus all property level expenses divided by the minimum rents due to us.us, excluding payments of previously deferred rents. For the twelve months ended March 31, 2018,2019, the operating results from our 199179 properties in our five travel center leases generated combined coverage of 1.59x.1.83x. Because a large percentage of TA’s business is conducted at properties leased from us, property level rent coverage may not be an appropriate way to evaluate TA’s ability to pay rents due to us. We believe property level rent coverage is nonetheless one useful indicator of the performance and value of our properties as we believe it is what an operator interested to acquire these properties or the leaseholds might use to evaluate the contribution of these properties to their earnings before corporate level expenses.
Three hundred ninety-seven (397)eighty (380) of our properties, representing 74%73% of our aggregate annual minimum returns and rents as of March 31, 2018,2019, are operated under 10 management arrangements or leases which are subject to full or limited guarantees or are secured by a security deposit which we control. These guarantees may provide us with continued payments if the property level cash flows fail to equal or exceed guaranteed amounts due to us. Some of our managers and tenants, or their affiliates, may also supplement cash flows from our properties in order to make payments to us and preserve their rights to continue operating our properties even if they are not required to do so by guarantees or security deposits. Guarantee payments, security deposit applications or supplemental payments to us, if any, made under any of our management agreements or leases do not subject us to repayment obligations, but, under some of our agreements, the manager or tenant may recover these guarantee or supplemental payments and the security deposits may be replenished from subsequent cash flows from our properties after our future minimum returns and rents are paid.

When cash flows from our hotels under certain of our agreements are less than the minimum returns or rents contractually due to us, we have utilized the applicable security features in our agreements to cover some of these shortfalls. However, several of the guarantees and all the security deposits we hold are for limited amounts, are for limited durations and may be exhausted or expire, especially if our hotel renovation and rebranding activities do not result in improved operating results at these hotels. Accordingly, the effectiveness of our various security features to provide uninterrupted payments to us is not assured. If any of our hotel managers, tenants or guarantors default in their payment obligations to us, our cash flows will decline and we may become unable to continue to pay distributions to our shareholders or the amount of the distributions may decline. In particular, Wyndham's guarantee of the minimum returns due from our hotels which are managed by Wyndham was depleted during 2017.2017 and remained depleted as of March 31, 2019. The Wyndham agreement provides that if the hotel cash flows available after payment of hotel operating expenses are less than the minimum returns due to us and the guaranty has been depleted, to avoid default Wyndham is required to pay us the greater of the available hotel cash flows after payment of hotel operating expenses and 85% of the contractual amount due. During the three months ended March 31, 2018,2019, Wyndham paid 85% of the minimum returns due under the management agreement, which payments were an aggregate of $1,030$1,042 less than the minimum returns due for that period. We can provide no assurancecannot be sure as to whether Wyndham will continue to pay at least the greater of available hotel cash flows after payment of hotel operating expenses and 85% of the minimum returns due to us or if Wyndham will default on its payments.
As of March
Marriott has notified us that they will not renew the lease for the Kauai Marriott under our Marriott No. 5 agreement, which expires December 31, 2018, we leased The Clift Hotel2019. We are in San Francisco, CA to a subsidiary of Morgans. This lease was scheduled to expire in 2103 and required annual rent to us of $7,595, subject to future increases. During the three months ended March 31, 2018, all contractual rent due to us under the Morgans lease was paid to us. In December 2016, we notified Morgans that the closing of its mergernegotiations with SBE without our consent was a breach of its lease obligations and shortly thereafter we commenced an unlawful detainer action in the California state courts to compel Morgans and SBE to surrender possession ofMarriott regarding this hotel, but we can provide no assurance that we and Marriott will reach an agreement regarding the Kauai Marriott or what its terms may be. If we and Marriott are unable to us. Whilereach an agreement, we pursued this litigation, we were engaged in discussions with Morgans and SBE regarding this hotel. On March 14, 2018, we entered into a settlement agreement with Morgans and SBE. Pursuant to that settlement agreement, on May 8, 2018, the Morgans lease was terminated and Morgans surrendered possession of the hotel to us. The contractual rent due to us under the Morgans lease through May 8, 2018 was paid to us. We rebrandedwill evaluate alternatives for this hotel, to the Royal Sonesta® brand and added it to our management agreement with Sonesta.which may include rebranding or selling it.
Our Operating Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our principal sources of funds to meet operating and capital expenses, debt service obligations and distributions to our shareholders are minimum returns from our managed hotels, minimum rents from our leased hotels and travel centers and borrowings under our revolving credit facility. We receive minimum returns and rents from our managers and tenants monthly. We may receive additional returns, percentage rents and our share of the operating profits of our managed hotels after payment of management fees and other deductions, if any, either monthly or quarterly, and these amounts are usually subject to annual reconciliations. We believe that these sources of funds will be sufficient to meet our operating and capital expenses, interest expense on ourpay debt service obligations and make distributions to our shareholders for the next twelve months and for the foreseeable future thereafter. However, as a result of economic conditions or otherwise, our managers and tenants may become unable or unwilling to pay minimum returns and rents to us when due, and, as a result, our cash flows and net income would decline and we may need to reduce the amount of, or even eliminate, our distributions to common shareholders.
Changes in our cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 20182019 compared to the same period in 20172018 were as follows: (1) cash flows provided by operating activities decreased from $57,855$49,685 in 20172018 to $34,764$43,865 in 2018;2019; (2) cash flows from investing activities changed from $59,709 of cash used in investing activities decreased from $186,480 in 20172018 to $26,483$102,090 of cash provided by investing activities in 2018;2019; and (3) cash flows from financing activities changed from $143,491 of cash provided by financing activities in 2017 to $11,107 of cash used in financing activities increased from $11,107 in 2018.2018 to $123,154 in 2019.
The decrease in cash flows provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2019 as compared to the prior year period is due primarily to a decrease in minimum rents paid to us in the 2019 period under our travel center leases, higher interest payments in the 2019 period and an increase in security deposit utilization in the 2019 period, partially offset by a decrease in incentive business management fees paid to RMR LLC in the 2019 period with respect to 2018 and an increase in the minimum returns and rents paid to us in the 2019 period due to our acquisitions and funding of improvements to our hotels since January 1, 2018. The change from cash flows used in investing activities in the 2018 period to cash provided by investing activities in the 2019 period is primarily due to the proceeds received from our sale of 20 travel centers in the 2019 period and a decrease in our capital improvement fundings in the 2019 period, partially offset by an increase in real estate acquisition activity in the 2019 period. The increase in cash used in financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2019 as compared to the prior year period is primarily due to an increase in incentive business management fees paid to RMR LLC and higher interest payments, partially offset by an increase in the minimum returns and rents paid to us due to our acquisitions and fundingissuance of improvements to our hotels and travel centers since January 1, 2017. The decrease in cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2018 as compared to the prior year period is primarily due to our real estate acquisitions in the 2017 period and a decrease in our capital improvement fundings in the 2018 period. The change from cash flows provided by financing activities in the 2017 period to cash used in financing activitiesnotes in the 2018 period, is primarily due to the decrease inpartially offset by lower net borrowingsrepayments in the 20182019 period under our revolving credit facility compared to the 2017 period, partially offset by the redemption of our 7.125% Series D cumulative redeemable preferred shares in the 20172018 period.
We maintain our qualification for taxation as a REIT under the IRC by meeting certain requirements. As a REIT, we do not expect to pay federal income taxes on the majority of our income; however, the income realized by our TRSs in excess of the rent they pay to us is subject to U.S. federal income tax at corporate tax rates. In addition, the income we receive from our hotels in Canada and Puerto Rico is subject to taxes in those jurisdictions and we are subject to taxes in certain states where we have properties despite our qualification for taxation as a REIT.

Our Investment and Financing Liquidity and Capital Resources
Various percentages of total sales at some of our hotels are escrowed as FF&E reserves to fund future capital improvements. During the three months ended March 31, 2018,2019, our hotel managers and tenants deposited $14,921$11,335 to these accounts and spent $33,226$46,361 from the FF&E reserve escrow accounts to renovate and refurbish our hotels. As of March 31, 2018,2019, there was $59,533$48,215 on deposit in these escrow accounts, which was held directly by us and is reflected in our condensed consolidated balance sheets as restricted cash.
Our hotel operating agreements generally provide that, if necessary, we may provide our managers and tenants with funding for capital improvements to our hotels in excess of amounts otherwise available in escrowed FF&E reserves or when no FF&E reserves are available. To the extent we make such additional fundings, our annual minimum returns or rents generally increase by a percentage of the amount we fund. During the three months ended March 31, 2018,2019, we funded $16,989$44,693 for capital improvements in excess of FF&E reserve fundings available from hotel operations to our hotels as follows:
During the three months ended March 31, 2018,2019, we funded $177$13,593 for capital improvements to certain hotels under our Marriott No. 1 agreement using cash on hand and borrowings under our revolving credit facility. We currently expect to fund approximately $10,900$3,400 for capital improvements under this agreement during the last nine months of 2018

2019 using cash on hand or borrowings under our revolving credit facility. As we fund these improvements, the contractual minimum returns payable to us increase.

During the three months ended March 31, 2018,2019, we funded $3,680$9,000 for capital improvements to certain hotels under our Marriott No. 234 agreement using cash on hand and borrowings under our revolving credit facility. We currently expect to fund approximately $5,800$36,000 for capital improvements under this agreement during the last nine months of 20182019 using cash on hand or borrowings under our revolving credit facility. As we fund these improvements, the contractual minimum returns payable to us increase.

We did not fund any capital improvements to hotels under our InterContinentalIHG agreement during the three months ended March 31, 2018.2019. We currently expect to fund approximately $81,700$64,900 during the last nine months of 2018 and approximately $16,100 during 2019 for capital improvements under this agreement using cash on hand or borrowings under our revolving credit facility. As we fund these improvements, the contractual minimum returns payable to us increase.
Our Sonesta agreement does not require FF&E escrow deposits. Under our Sonesta agreement, we are required to fund capital expenditures made at our hotels. During the three months ended March 31, 2018,2019, we funded $13,132$10,467 for capital improvements to certain hotels included in our Sonesta agreement using cash on hand and borrowings under our revolving credit facility. We currently expect to fund approximately $75,300$84,500 during the last nine months of 20182019 and approximately $76,600$42,500 during 20192020 for capital improvements under this agreement using cash on hand or borrowings under our revolving credit facility. These investments primarily relate to planned renovations to the 15 hotels we acquired in 2017 and one hotel added to the portfolio in 2018 and converted to Sonesta brands. As we fund these improvements, the contractual minimum returns payable to us increase to the extent amounts funded exceed threshold amounts, as defined in our Sonesta agreement.
Our Wyndham agreement requires FF&E escrow deposits only if there are excess cash flows after payment of our minimum returns. No FF&E escrow deposits were required during the three months ended March 31, 2018. We did not fund any capital improvements to hotels under our Wyndham agreement during2019. During the three months ended March 31, 2018.2019, we funded $1,022 for capital improvements to certain hotels included in our Wyndham agreement using cash on hand and borrowings under our revolving credit facility. We currently expect to fund approximately $10,400$3,000 for capital improvements under this agreement during the last nine months of 20182019 using cash on hand or borrowings under our revolving credit facility. As we fund these improvements, the contractual minimum returns payable to us increase.
Pursuant to an agreement we entered into with Radisson in June 2017, we have agreed to fund up to $35,000 for renovation costs at certain hotels under our Radisson agreement. We did not fund any renovation costs to hotels under our Radisson agreement duringDuring the three months ended March 31, 2018.2019, we funded $10,611 for capital improvements to certain hotels under our Radisson agreement using cash on hand and borrowings under our revolving credit facility. We currently expect to fund approximately $5,600$12,400 during the last nine months of 20182019 and approximately $29,400$5,000 during 20192020 for these renovationscapital improvements under this agreement using cash on hand or borrowings under our revolving credit facility. As we fund these renovations,improvements, the contractual minimum returns payable to us will increase.
Our travel center leases with TA do not require FF&E escrow deposits. However, TA is required to maintain the leased travel centers, including structural and non-structural components. Under all of our TA leases, TA may request that we purchase qualifying capital improvements to the leased facilities in return for minimum rent increases. We funded $13,137 for purchases ofdid not fund any capital improvements to properties under these lease provisions during the three months ended March 31, 2018.

TA is not obligated to request and we are not obligated to purchase any such improvements.
On February 2, 2018,In January 2019, in a series of transactions, we issued $400,000 principal amountsold 20 travel centers in 15 states to TA for $308,200. We used a portion of 4.375% senior notes due 2030 in an underwritten public offering. Netthe proceeds from this offering were $386,454 after discounts and expenses and were usedthese sales to repay amounts outstandingborrowings under our revolving credit facility and for general business purposes.purposes, including hotel acquisitions.
On February 22, 2018,21, 2019, we paid a regular quarterly distribution to our common shareholders of record on January 29, 201828, 2019 of $0.52$0.53 per share, or $85,460.$87,154. We funded this distribution using cash on hand and borrowings under our revolving credit facility. On April 19, 2018,18, 2019, we declared a regular quarterly distribution to common shareholders of record on April 30, 201829, 2019 of $0.53$0.54 per share, or $87,105.$88,798. We expect to pay this amount on or about May 17, 201816, 2019 using cash on hand and borrowings under our revolving credit facility.
On February 22, 2019, we acquired the 335 room Hotel Palomar in Washington, D.C. for a purchase price of $141,450, excluding capitalized acquisition costs of $2,292, using proceeds from our sale of the travel centers described above.
As of March 31, 2019, our restricted cash balances include $26,914 of the proceeds from our sale of the travel centers described above for the purpose of facilitating a tax deferred like-kind exchange pursuant to Section 1031 of the IRC. On May 7, 2019, we acquired the 198 room Crowne Plaza Milwaukee West hotel in Milwaukee, WI for a purchase price of $30,000, excluding acquisition related costs, using the escrowed proceeds and cash on hand.

In order to fund acquisitions and to meet cash needs that may result from our desire or need to make distributions or pay operating or capital expenses, we maintain a $1,000,000 revolving credit facility and $400,000 term loan which are governed by a credit agreement with a syndicate of institutional lenders. The maturity date of our revolving credit facility is July 15, 20182022, and, subject to ourthe payment of an extension fee and meeting certain other conditions, we have an option to extend the stated maturity date of our revolving creditthis facility by one year to July 15, 2019.for two additional six month periods. We are required to pay interest at the rate of LIBOR plus a premium, which was 110100 basis points per annum at March 31, 2018,2019, on the amount outstanding under our revolving credit facility. We also pay a facility fee on the total amount of lending commitments under our revolving credit facility, which was 20 basis points per annum at March 31, 2018.2019. Both the interest rate premium and the facility fee are subject to adjustment based upon changes to our credit ratings. We can borrow, repay and reborrow funds available under our revolving credit facility until maturity, and no principal repayment is due until maturity. As of March 31, 2018,2019, the annual interest rate payable on borrowings under our revolving credit facility was 2.98%3.41%. As of March 31, 2018,2019 and May 9, 2019, we had $86,000$141,000 and $96,000, respectively, outstanding and $914,000 available to borrow under our revolving credit facility. As of May 8, 2018, we had no amounts outstanding$859,000 and $1,000,000$904,000, respectively, available to borrow under our revolving credit facility.
Our $400,000 term loan, which matures on AprilJuly 15, 2019,2023, is prepayable without penalty at any time. We are required to pay interest on the amount outstanding under our term loan at the rate of LIBOR plus a premium, which was 120110 basis points per annum at March 31, 2018, on the amount outstanding under our $400,000 term loan.2019. The interest rate premium is subject to adjustment based upon changes to our credit ratings. As of March 31, 2018,2019, the annual interest rate for the amount outstanding under our $400,000 term loan was 2.86%3.59%.
Our credit agreement also includes a feature under which the maximum borrowing availability may be increased to up to $2,300,000 on a combined basis in certain circumstances.
Our term debt maturities (other than our revolving credit facility and term loan) as of March 31, 20182019 were as follows: $400,000 in 2021, $500,000 in 2022, $500,000 in 2023, $350,000 in 2024, $350,000 in 2025, $350,000 in 2026, $400,000 in 2027, $400,000 in 2028 and $400,000 in 2030.
None of our unsecured debt obligations require principal or sinking fund payments prior to their maturity dates.
We currently expect to use cash on hand, the cash flows from our operations, borrowings under our revolving credit facility, net proceeds from any propertyasset sales and net proceeds of offerings of equity or debt securities to fund our future debt maturities, operations, capital expenditures, distributions to our shareholders, property acquisitions and other general business purposes.
When significant amounts are outstanding for an extended period of time under our revolving credit facility, or the maturities of our indebtedness approach, we currently expect to explore refinancing alternatives. Such alternatives may include incurring additional debt, issuing new equity securities and the sale of properties. We have an effective shelf registration statement that allows us to issue public securities on an expedited basis, but it does not assure that there will be buyers for such securities. We may also seek to participate in joint ventures or other arrangements that may provide us additional sources of financing. Although we have not historically done so, we may also assume mortgage debt on properties we may acquire or obtain mortgage financing on our existing properties.
While we believe we will have access to various types of financings, including debt or equity, to fund our future acquisitions and to pay our debts and other obligations, we cannot be sure that we will be able to complete any debt or equity offerings or other types of financings or that our cost of any future public or private financings will not increase.

Our ability to complete, and the costs associated with, future debt transactions depends primarily upon credit market conditions and our then creditworthiness. We have no control over market conditions. Our credit ratings depend upon evaluations by credit rating agencies of our business practices and plans, including our ability to maintain our earnings, to stagger our debt maturities and to balance our use of debt and equity capital so that our financial performance and leverage ratios afford us flexibility to withstand any reasonably anticipated adverse changes. Similarly, our ability to raise equity capital in the future will depend primarily upon equity capital market conditions and our ability to conduct our business to maintain and grow our operating cash flows. We intend to conduct our business activities in a manner which will afford us reasonable access to capital for investment and financing activities, but we cannot be sure that we will be able to successfully carry out that intention.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of March 31, 2018,2019, we had no off balance sheet arrangements that have had or that we expect would be reasonably likely to have a material effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

Debt Covenants
Our debt obligations at March 31, 20182019 consisted of outstanding borrowings under our $1,000,000 revolving credit facility, our $400,000 term loan and $3,650,000 of publicly issued term debt. Our publicly issued term debt is governed by our indentures and related supplements. These indentures and related supplements and our credit agreement contain a number of covenants whichthat generally restrict our ability to incur debts, including debts secured by mortgages on our properties, in excess of calculated amounts, and require us to maintain various financial ratios and our credit agreement restricts our ability to make distributions under certain circumstances. Our credit agreement providesand our unsecured senior notes indentures and their supplements provide for acceleration of payment of all amounts outstanding upon the occurrence and continuation of certain events of default, such as, in the case of our credit agreement, a change of control of us, which includes RMR LLC ceasing to act as our business manager. As of March 31, 2018,2019, we believe we were in compliance with all of the covenants under our indentures and their supplements and our credit agreement.
Neither our indentures and their supplements nor our credit agreement contain provisions for acceleration which could be triggered by a change in our debt ratings. However, under our credit agreement, our highest senior debt rating is used to determine the fees and interest rates we pay. Accordingly, if that debt rating is downgraded, our interest expense and related costs under our revolving credit facility and term loan would increase.
Our public debt indentures and their supplements contain cross default provisions to any other debt of $20,000 or more ($50,000 or more in the case of our indenture entered into in February 2016 and its supplements). Similarly, our credit agreement has cross default provisions to other indebtedness that is recourse of $25,000 or more and indebtedness that is non-recourse of $75,000 or more.

Management Agreements, Leases and Operating Statistics (dollar amounts in thousands)
As of March 31, 2018, 3212019, 326 of our hotels (including one leased hotel) were included in seven portfolio agreements and two hotels wereone hotel was not included in a portfolio and arewas leased.

The table and related notes below through page 2930 summarize significant terms of our leases and management agreements as of March 31, 2018.2019. These tables also include statistics reported to us or derived from information reported to us by our managers and tenants. These statistics include coverage of our minimum returns or minimum rents and occupancy, ADR and RevPAR for our hotel properties. We consider these statistics and the management agreement or lease security features also presented in the tables and related notes on the following pages to be important measures of our managers’ and tenants’ success in operating our properties and their ability to continue to pay us. However, this third party reported information is not a direct measure of our financial performance and we have not independently verified the operating data.

Seasonality

Our hotels and travel centers have historically experienced seasonal differences typical of their industries with higher revenues in the second and third quarters of calendar years compared with the first and fourth quarters. Most of our

management agreements and leases require our managers and tenants to make the substantial portion of our return and rent payments to us in equal amounts throughout the year. So long as guarantees and security deposits are available to supplement earnings shortfalls at our properties, seasonality is not expected to cause material fluctuations in our income or cash flows from these properties. If and as guarantees and security deposits which secure the minimum returns and rents due to us are exhausted or expire, our financial results may begin to reflect more of the seasonality of the industries in which our tenants and managers operate. The return payments to us under certain of our management agreements depend exclusively upon earnings at these properties and, accordingly, our income and cash flows from these properties reflect the seasonality of the hotel industry.

Related Person Transactions
We have relationships and historical and continuing transactions with RMR LLC, RMR Inc. and others related to them. For example: we have no employees and the personnel and various services we require to operate our business are provided to us by RMR LLC pursuant to our business and property management agreements with RMR LLC; RMR Inc. is the managing member of RMR LLC; Adam D. Portnoy, one of our Managing Trustees, is the sole trustee, an officer and controlling shareholder of ABP Trust, which is the controlling shareholder of RMR Inc.; and we own shares of class A common stock of RMR Inc. We

also have relationships and historical and continuing transactions with other companies to which RMR LLC or its subsidiaries provide management services and which may have trustees, directors and officers who are also trustees, directors or officers of us, RMR LLC or RMR Inc., including: TA, which is our former subsidiary and largest tenant and of which we are the largest shareholder; Sonesta, which is one of our hotel managers and is owned in part by Adam D. Portnoy, one of our Managing Trustees;Portnoy; and AIC, of which we, ABP Trust, TA and four other companies to which RMR LLC provides management services each own 14.3% and which arranges and insures or reinsures in part a combined property insurance program for us and its six other shareholders. For further information about these and other such relationships and related person transactions, see Notes 7, 8, 9 and 10 to the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our 20172018 Annual Report, our definitive Proxy Statement for our 20182019 Annual Meeting of Shareholders and our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC. In addition, see the section captioned “Risk Factors” of our 20172018 Annual Report for a description of risks that may arise as a result of these and other related person transactions and relationships. Our filings with the SEC and copies of certain of our agreements with these related persons, including our business and property management agreements with RMR LLC, our various agreements with TA and Sonesta and our shareholders agreement with AIC and its six other shareholders, are available as exhibits to our filings with the SEC and accessible at the SEC’s website, www.sec.gov. We may engage in additional transactions with related persons, including businesses to which RMR LLC or its subsidiaries provide management services.

Non-GAAP Measures
We present certain “non-GAAP financial measures” within the meaning of applicable SEC rules, including FFO and Normalized FFO. These measures do not represent cash generated by operating activities in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered alternatives to net income as indicators of our operating performance or as measures of our liquidity. These measures should be considered in conjunction with net income as presented in our condensed consolidated statements of income. We consider these non-GAAP measures to be appropriate supplemental measures of operating performance for a REIT, along with net income. We believe these measures provide useful information to investors because by excluding the effects of certain historical amounts, such as depreciation and amortization expense, they may facilitate a comparison of our operating performance between periods and with other REITs.

Funds From Operations Available for Common Shareholders and Normalized Funds From Operations Available for Common Shareholders.
We calculate funds from operations, or FFO, available for common shareholders and normalized funds from operations, or Normalized FFO, available for common shareholders as shown below. FFO available for common shareholders is calculated on the basis defined by The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or Nareit, which is net income, available for common shareholders calculated in accordance with GAAP, excluding any gain or loss on sale of properties and loss on impairment of real estate assets, if any, plus real estate depreciation and amortization, less any unrealized gains and losses on equity securities, as well as certain other adjustments currently not applicable to us. Our calculation ofIn calculating Normalized FFO, available for common shareholders differs from Nareit's definition of FFO available for common shareholders because we include business management incentive fees, if any, only in the fourth quarter versus the quarter when they are recognized as expense in accordance with GAAP due to their quarterly volatility not necessarily being indicative of our core operating performance and the uncertainty as to whether any such business management incentive fees will be payable when all contingencies for determining such fees are known at the end of the calendar year, and we exclude the excess of liquidation preference over carrying value of preferred shares redeemed and unrealized gains and losses on equity securities. We consideryear. FFO available for common shareholders and Normalized FFO available for common shareholders to be appropriate supplemental measures of operating performance for a REIT, along with net income, net income available for common shareholders and operating income. We believe that FFO available for common shareholders and Normalized FFO available for common shareholders provide useful information to investors because by excluding the effects of certain historical amounts, such as depreciation expense, FFO available for common shareholders and Normalized FFO available for common shareholders may facilitate a comparison of our operating performance between periods and with other REITs. FFO available for common shareholders and Normalized FFO available for common shareholders are among the factors considered by our Board of Trustees when determining the amount of distributions to our shareholders. Other factors include, but are not limited to, requirements to maintain our qualification for taxation as a REIT, limitations in our credit agreement and public debt covenants, the availability to us of debt and equity capital, our expectation of our future capital requirements and operating performance and our expected needs for and availability of cash to pay our

obligations. FFO available for common shareholders and Normalized FFO available for common shareholders do not represent cash generated by operating activities in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered alternatives to net income, net income available for common shareholders or operating income as indicators of our operating performance or as measures of our liquidity. These measures should be considered in conjunction with net income, net income available for common shareholders and operating income as presented in our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Other real estate companies and REITs may calculate FFO available for common shareholders and Normalized FFO available for common shareholders differently than we do.

Our calculations of FFO available for common shareholders and Normalized FFO available for common shareholders for the three months ended March 31, 20182019 and 20172018 and reconciliations of net income, available for common shareholders, the most directly comparable financial measure under GAAP reported in our condensed consolidated financial statements, to those amounts appear in the following table (amounts in thousands, except per share amounts).

We recorded a $159,535gain on sale of real estate during the three months ended March 31, 2019 in connection with RMR LLC are payable after the endsales of each calendar year, are calculated based on common share total return, as defined, and are included in general and administrative expense in our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income. In calculating net income in accordance with GAAP, we recognize estimated business management incentive fee expense, if any, in the first, second and third quarters. Although we recognize this expense, if any, in the first, second and third quarters for purposes of calculating net income, we do not include these amounts in the calculation of Normalized FFO available for common shareholders until the fourth quarter, which is when the business management incentive fee expense amount for the year, if any, is determined. Incentive fees for 2018, if any, will be paid in cash in January 2019.20 travel centers.

The liquidation preference of the redeemed shares exceeded the carrying amount for the redeemed shares as of the date of redemption by $9,893, or $0.06 per share, and we reduced net income available to common shareholders in the three months ended March 31, 2017 by that excess amount.
(3)Unrealized gains and losses on equity securities, net represent the adjustment required to adjust the carrying value of our investments in RMR Inc. and TA common shares to their fair value as of March 31, 2018 in accordance with new GAAP standards effective January 1, 2018.the end of the period.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk (dollar amounts in thousands, except per share amounts)
We are exposed to risks associated with market changes in interest rates. We manage our exposure to this market risk by monitoring available financing alternatives. Our strategy to manage exposure to changes in interest rates has not materially changed since December 31, 2017.2018. Other than as described below, we do not currently foresee any significant changes in our exposure to fluctuations in interest rates or in how we manage this exposure in the near future.
Fixed Rate Debt
At March 31, 2018,2019, our outstanding publicly tradable debt consisted of nine issues of fixed rate, senior notes:
Principal Balance 
Annual Interest
Rate
 
Annual Interest
Expense
 Maturity

 4.375% 17,500
 2030 Semi-Annually
$3,650,000
   $168,000
    

No principal repayments are due under these notes until maturity. Because these notes require interest at fixed rates, changes in market interest rates during the term of these debts will not affect our interest obligations. If these notes were refinanced at interest rates which are one percentage point higher than the rates shown above, our per annum interest cost would increase by approximately $36,500. Changes in market interest rates would affect the fair value of our fixed rate debt obligations; increases in market interest rates decrease the fair value of our fixed rate debt while decreases in market interest

rates increase the fair value of our fixed rate debt. Based on the balances outstanding at March 31, 20182019 and discounted cash flows analyses through the respective maturity dates, and assuming no other changes in factors that may affect the fair value of our fixed rate debt obligations, a hypothetical immediate one percentage point change in interest rates would change the fair value of those debt obligations by approximately $199,873.

$173,546.
Each of these fixed rate unsecured debt arrangements allows us to make repayments earlier than the stated maturity date. We are generally allowed to make prepayments only at a premium equal to a make whole amount, as defined, which is generally designed to preserve a stated yield to the noteholder. Also, we have in the past repurchased and retired some of our outstanding debts and we may do so again in the future. These prepayment rights and our ability to repurchase and retire outstanding debt may afford us opportunities to mitigate the risks of refinancing our debts at their maturities at higher rates by refinancing prior to maturity.
Floating Rate Debt
At March 31, 2018,2019, our floating rate debt consisted of $86,000$141,000 outstanding under our $1,000,000 revolving credit facility and our $400,000 term loan. The maturity date of our revolving credit facility is July 15, 2018,2022, and subject to our meeting certain conditions, including our payment of an extension fee, we have thean option to extend the stated maturity date by one year to July 15, 2019.of the facility for two additional six month periods. The maturity date of our $400,000 term loan is AprilJuly 15, 2019.2023. No principal repayments are required under our revolving credit facility prior to maturity, and repayments may be made and redrawn subject to conditions at any time without penalty. No principal prepayments are required under our $400,000 term loan prior to maturity and we can repay principal amounts outstanding under the term loan subject to conditions at any time without penalty, but after amounts outstanding under our $400,000 term loan are repaid, amounts may not be redrawn. Borrowings under our revolving credit facility and $400,000 term loan are in U.S. dollars and require annual interest to be paid at the rate of LIBOR plus premiums that are subject to adjustment based upon changes to our credit ratings. Accordingly, we are vulnerable to changes in U.S. dollar based short term interest rates, specifically LIBOR. In addition, upon renewal or refinancing of our revolving credit facility or our $400,000 term loan, we are vulnerable to increases in interest rate premiums due to market conditions or our perceived credit characteristics. Generally, a change in interest rates would not affect the value of this floating rate debt but would affect our operating results.

The following table presents the impact a one percentage point increase in interest rates would have on our annual floating rate interest expense as of March 31, 2018:2019:

The foregoing tables show the impact of an immediate increase in floating interest rates as of March 31, 2018.2019. If interest rates were to increase gradually over time, the impact would be spread over time. Our exposure to fluctuations in floating interest rates will increase or decrease in the future with increases or decreases in the outstanding amounts under our revolving

credit facility and term loan or other floating rate debt, if any. Although we have no present plans to do so, we may in the future enter into hedge arrangements from time to time to mitigate our exposure to changes in interest rates.
LIBOR Phase Out
LIBOR is currently expected to be phased out in 2021. We are required to pay interest on borrowings under our credit facility and term loan at floating rates based on LIBOR. Future debt that we may incur may also require that we pay interest based upon LIBOR. We currently expect that the determination of interest under our credit agreement would be revised as provided under the agreement or amended as necessary to provide for an interest rate that approximates the existing interest rate as calculated in accordance with LIBOR for similar types of loans. Despite our current expectations, we cannot be sure that, if LIBOR is phased out or transitioned, the changes to the determination of interest under our agreements would approximate the current calculation in accordance with LIBOR. We do not know what standard, if any, will replace LIBOR if it is phased out or transitioned.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our management carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our President and Chief OperatingExecutive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Based upon that evaluation, our President and Chief OperatingExecutive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 20182019 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

FOR EXAMPLE:For example:
OUR ABILITY TO MAKE FUTURE DISTRIBUTIONS TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS AND TO MAKE PAYMENTS OF PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST ON OUR INDEBTEDNESS DEPENDS UPON A NUMBER OF FACTORS, INCLUDING OUR FUTURE EARNINGS, THE CAPITAL COSTS WE INCUR TO MAINTAIN OUR PROPERTIES AND OUR WORKING CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS. WE MAY BE UNABLE TO PAY OUR DEBT OBLIGATIONS OR TO MAINTAIN OUR CURRENT RATE OF DISTRIBUTIONS ON OUR COMMON SHARES AND FUTURE DISTRIBUTIONS MAY BE REDUCED OR ELIMINATED,Our ability to make future distributions to our shareholders and to make payments of principal and interest on our indebtedness depends upon a number of factors, including our future earnings, the capital costs we incur to maintain our properties and our working capital requirements. We may be unable to pay our debt obligations or to increase or maintain our current rate of distributions on our common shares and future distributions may be reduced or eliminated,
THE SECURITY DEPOSITS WHICH WE HOLD ARE NOT IN SEGREGATED CASH ACCOUNTS OR OTHERWISE SEPARATE FROM OUR OTHER ASSETS AND LIABILITIES. ACCORDINGLY, WHEN WE RECORD INCOME BY REDUCING OUR SECURITY DEPOSIT LIABILITIES, WE DO NOT RECEIVE ANY ADDITIONAL CASH PAYMENT. BECAUSE WE DO NOT RECEIVE ANY ADDITIONAL CASH PAYMENT AS WE APPLY SECURITY DEPOSITS TO COVER PAYMENT SHORTFALLS, THE FAILURE OF OUR MANAGERS OR TENANTS TO PAY MINIMUM RETURNS OR RENTS DUE TO US MAY REDUCE OUR CASH FLOWS AND OUR ABILITY TO PAY DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS,The security deposits which we hold are not in segregated cash accounts or otherwise separate from our other assets and liabilities. Accordingly, when we record income by reducing our security deposit liabilities, we do not receive any additional cash payment. Because we do not receive any additional cash payment as we apply security deposits to cover payment shortfalls, the failure of our managers or tenants to pay minimum returns or rents due to us may reduce our cash flows and our ability to pay distributions to shareholders,
AS OF MARCHAs of March 31, 2018, APPROXIMATELY 74% OF OUR AGGREGATE ANNUAL MINIMUM RETURNS AND RENTS WERE SECURED BY GUARANTEES OR SECURITY DEPOSITS FROM OUR MANAGERS AND TENANTS. THIS MAY IMPLY THAT THESE MINIMUM RETURNS AND RENTS WILL BE PAID. IN FACT, CERTAIN OF THESE GUARANTEES AND SECURITY DEPOSITS ARE LIMITED IN AMOUNT AND DURATION AND ALL THE GUARANTEES ARE SUBJECT TO THE GUARANTORS’ ABILITIES AND WILLINGNESS TO PAY. WE CANNOT BE SURE OF THE FUTURE FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE OF OUR PROPERTIES AND WHETHER SUCH PERFORMANCE WILL COVER OUR MINIMUM RETURNS AND RENTS, WHETHER THE GUARANTEES OR SECURITY DEPOSITS WILL BE ADEQUATE TO COVER FUTURE SHORTFALLS IN THE MINIMUM RETURNS OR RENTS DUE TO US WHICH THEY GUARANTY OR SECURE, OR REGARDING OUR MANAGERS'2019, approximately 73% of our aggregate annual minimum returns and rents were secured by guarantees or security deposits from our managers and tenants. This may imply that these minimum returns and rents will be paid. In fact, certain of these guarantees and security deposits are limited in amount and duration and all the guarantees are subject to the guarantors’ abilities and willingness to pay. We cannot be sure of the future financial performance of our properties and whether such performance will cover our minimum returns and rents, whether the guarantees or security deposits will be adequate to cover future shortfalls in the minimum returns or rents due to us which they guarantee or secure, or regarding our managers’, TENANTS' OR GUARANTORS' FUTURE ACTIONS IF AND WHEN THE GUARANTEES AND SECURITY DEPOSITS EXPIRE OR ARE DEPLETED OR THEIR ABILITIES OR WILLINGNESS TO PAY MINIMUM RETURNS AND RENTS OWED TO US. MOREOVER, THE SECURITY DEPOSITS WE HOLD ARE NOT SEGREGATED FROM OUR OTHER ASSETS AND THE APPLICATION OF SECURITY DEPOSITS TO COVER PAYMENT SHORTFALLS WILL RESULT IN UStenants’ or guarantors’ future actions if and when the guarantees and security deposits expire or are depleted or their abilities or willingness to pay minimum returns and rents owed to us. Moreover, the security deposits we hold are not segregated from our other assets and the application of security deposits to cover payment shortfalls will result in us recording income, but will not result in us receiving additional cash. The balance of our annual minimum returns and rents as of March 31, 2019 was not secured by guarantees or security deposits,
We have no guarantees or security deposits for the minimum returns due to us from our Marriott No. 1 or our Sonesta agreement and the guaranty from Wyndham has been depleted. Accordingly, we may receive amounts that are less than the contractual minimum returns stated in these agreements. We cannot be sure as to whether Wyndham will continue to pay at least the greater of available hotel cash flows after payment of hotel operating expenses and 85% of the minimum returns due to us or if Wyndham will default on its payments,
We have recently renovated certain hotels and are currently renovating additional hotels. We currently expect to fund approximately $204.2 million during the last nine months of 2019 and $47.5 million in 2020 for renovations and other capital improvement costs at certain of our hotels. The cost of capital projects associated with such renovations may be greater than we currently anticipate. Operating results at our hotels may decline as a result of having rooms out of service or other disruptions during renovations. Also, while our funding of these capital projects will cause our contractual minimum returns to increase, the hotels’ operating results may not increase or may not increase to the extent that the minimum returns increase. Accordingly, coverage of our minimum returns at these hotels may remain depressed for an extended period,
Although we currently do not expect to purchase from TA during 2019 any capital improvements it may make to the travel centers we lease to TA, that may change and we may purchase capital improvements from TA during 2019 at, above or below amounts we have historically purchased from TA,
Hotel room demand and trucking activity are often reflections of the general economic activity in the country and in the geographic areas where our properties are located. If economic activity declines, hotel room demand and trucking

RECORDING INCOME, BUT WILL NOT RESULT IN US RECEIVING ADDITIONAL CASH. THE BALANCE OF OUR ANNUAL MINIMUM RETURNS AND RENTS AS OF MARCHactivity may decline and the operating results of our hotels and travel centers may decline, the financial results of our hotel managers and our tenants, including TA, may suffer and these managers and tenants may be unable to pay our returns or rents. Also, depressed operating results from our properties for extended periods may result in the operators of some or all of our hotels and our travel centers becoming unable or unwilling to meet their obligations or their guarantees and security deposits we hold may be exhausted,
Hotel and other competitive forms of temporary lodging supply (for example, Airbnb) have been increasing and may affect our hotel operators' ability to grow average daily rate, or ADR, and occupancy, and ADR and occupancy could decline due to increased competition which may cause our hotel operators to become unable to pay our returns or rents,
If the current level of commercial activity in the country declines, if the price of diesel fuel increases significantly, if fuel conservation measures are increased, if freight business is directed away from trucking, if TA is unable to effectively compete or operate its business, if fuel efficiencies, the use of alternative fuels or transportation technologies reduce the demand for products and services TA sells or for various other reasons, TA may become unable to pay current and deferred rents due to us,
Our ability to grow our business and increase our distributions depends in large part upon our ability to buy properties that generate returns or can be leased for rents which exceed our operating and capital costs. We may be unable to identify properties that we want to acquire and we may fail to reach agreement with the sellers and complete the purchases of any properties we do want to acquire. In addition, any properties we may acquire may not generate returns or rents which exceed our operating and capital costs,
We believe that our portfolio agreements include diverse groups of properties. Our portfolio agreements may not increase the security of our cash flows or increase the likelihood our agreements will be renewed as we expect,
Contingencies in our acquisition and sale agreements may not be satisfied and any expected acquisitions and sales and any related management or lease arrangements we expect to enter may not occur, may be delayed or the terms of such transactions or arrangements may change,
At March 31, 2018 WAS NOT SECURED BY GUARANTEES OR SECURITY DEPOSITS,2019, we had $23.7 million of cash and cash equivalents, $859.0 million available under our $1.0 billion revolving credit facility and security deposits and guarantees covering some of our minimum returns and rents. These statements may imply that we have abundant working capital and liquidity. However, our managers and tenants may not be able to fund minimum returns and rents due to us from operating our properties or from other resources; in the past and currently, certain of our tenants and hotel managers have in fact not paid the minimum amounts due to us from their operations of our leased or managed properties. Also, certain of the security deposits and guarantees we have to cover any such shortfalls are limited in amount and duration, and any security deposits we apply for such shortfalls do not result in additional cash flows to us. Our properties require, and we have agreed to provide, significant funding for capital improvements, renovations and other matters. Accordingly, we may not have sufficient working capital or liquidity,
THE $35.7 MILLION LIMITED GUARANTY FROM WYNDHAM WAS DEPLETED DURING THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2017. WE DO NOT HOLD A SECURITY DEPOSIT WITH RESPECT TO AMOUNTS DUE UNDER THE WYNDHAM AGREEMENT. WYNDHAM HAS PAID 85% OF THE MINIMUM RETURNS DUE TO US FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2018. WE CAN PROVIDE NO ASSURANCE AS TO WHETHER WYNDHAM WILL CONTINUE TO PAY AT LEAST THE GREATER OF AVAILABLE HOTEL CASH FLOWS AFTER PAYMENT OF HOTEL OPERATING EXPENSES AND 85% OF THE MINIMUM RETURNS DUE TO US OR IF WYNDHAM WILL DEFAULT ON ITS PAYMENTS,We may be unable to repay our debt obligations when they become due,
WE HAVE NO GUARANTEES OR SECURITY DEPOSITS FOR THE MINIMUM RETURNS DUE TO US FROM OUR MARRIOTT NO. 1 OR OUR SONESTA HOTEL AGREEMENTS. ACCORDINGLY, WHEN WE RECEIVE THE CONTRACTUAL AMOUNTS DUE TO US UNDER THESE CONTRACTS, SUCH AMOUNTS MAY BE LESS THAN THE MINIMUM RETURNS STATED IN THOSE MANAGEMENT CONTRACTS,We intend to conduct our business activities in a manner that will afford us reasonable access to capital for investment and financing activities. However, we may not succeed in this regard and we may not have reasonable access to capital,
WE HAVE RECENTLY RENOVATED CERTAIN HOTELS AND ARE CURRENTLY RENOVATING ADDITIONAL HOTELS. WE CURRENTLY EXPECT TO FUND APPROXIMATELY $189.7 MILLION DURING THE LAST NINE MONTHS OF 2018 AND $122.1 MILLION IN 2019 FOR RENOVATIONS AND OTHER CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT COSTS AT CERTAIN OF OUR HOTELS. THE COST OF CAPITAL PROJECTS ASSOCIATED WITH SUCH RENOVATIONS MAY BE GREATER THAN WE NOW ANTICIPATE. OPERATING RESULTS AT OUR HOTELS MAY DECLINE AS A RESULT OF HAVING ROOMS OUT OF SERVICE OR OTHER DISRUPTIONS DURING RENOVATIONS. ALSO, WHILE OUR FUNDING OF THESE CAPITAL PROJECTS WILL CAUSE OUR CONTRACTUAL MINIMUM RETURNS TO INCREASE, THE HOTELS’ OPERATING RESULTS MAY NOT INCREASE OR MAY NOT INCREASE TO THE EXTENT THAT THE MINIMUM RETURNS INCREASE. ACCORDINGLY, COVERAGE OF OUR MINIMUM RETURNS AT THESE HOTELS MAY REMAIN DEPRESSED FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD,Continued availability of borrowings under our revolving credit facility is subject to our satisfying certain financial covenants and other credit facility conditions that we may be unable to satisfy,
WE CURRENTLY EXPECT TO PURCHASE FROM TA DURING THE LAST NINE MONTHS OF 2018 APPROXIMATELY $38.3 MILLION OF CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS TA EXPECTS TO MAKE TO THE TRAVEL CENTERS WE LEASE TO TA. PURSUANT TO THE TERMS OF THE APPLICABLE LEASES, THE ANNUAL RENT PAYABLE TO US BY TA WILL INCREASE AS A RESULT OF ANY SUCH PURCHASES. WE MAY ULTIMATELY PURCHASE MORE OR LESS THAN THIS BUDGETED AMOUNT. TA MAY NOT REALIZE RESULTS FROM ANY OF THESE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS WHICH EQUAL OR EXCEED THE INCREASED ANNUAL RENTS IT WILL BE OBLIGATED TO PAY TO US, WHICH COULD INCREASE THE RISK OF TA BEING UNABLE TO PAY AMOUNTS DUE TO US,Actual costs under our revolving credit facility or other floating rate debt will be higher than LIBOR plus a premium because of fees and expenses associated with such debt,
HOTEL ROOM DEMAND AND TRUCKING ACTIVITY ARE OFTEN REFLECTIONS OF THE GENERAL ECONOMIC ACTIVITY IN THE COUNTRY AND IN THE GEOGRAPHIC AREAS WHERE OUR PROPERTIES ARE LOCATED. IF ECONOMIC ACTIVITY DECLINES, HOTEL ROOM DEMAND AND TRUCKING ACTIVITY MAY DECLINE AND THE OPERATING RESULTS OF OUR HOTELS AND TRAVEL CENTERS MAY DECLINE, THE FINANCIAL RESULTS OF OUR HOTEL MANAGERS AND OUR TENANTS, INCLUDING TA, MAY SUFFER AND THESE MANAGERS AND TENANTS MAY BE UNABLE TO PAY OUR RETURNS OR RENTS. ALSO, DEPRESSED OPERATING RESULTS FROM OUR PROPERTIES FOR EXTENDED PERIODS MAY RESULT IN THE OPERATORS OF SOME OR ALL OF OUR HOTELS AND OUR TRAVEL CENTERS BECOMING UNABLE OR UNWILLING TO MEET THEIR OBLIGATIONS OR THEIR GUARANTEES AND SECURITY DEPOSITS WE HOLD MAY BE EXHAUSTED,The maximum borrowing availability under our revolving credit facility and term loan may be increased to up to $2.3 billion on a combined basis in certain circumstances; however, increasing the maximum borrowing availability under our revolving credit facility and term loan is subject to our obtaining additional commitments from lenders, which may not occur,
HOTEL AND OTHER COMPETITIVE FORMS OF TEMPORARY LODGING SUPPLY (FOR EXAMPLE, AIRBNB) HAVE BEEN INCREASING AND MAY AFFECT OUR HOTEL OPERATORS' ABILITY TO GROW ADR AND OCCUPANCY, AND ADR AND OCCUPANCY COULD DECLINE DUE TO INCREASED COMPETITION WHICH MAY CAUSE OUR HOTEL OPERATORS TO BECOME UNABLE TO PAY OUR RETURNS OR RENTS,
IF THE CURRENT LEVEL OF COMMERCIAL ACTIVITY IN THE COUNTRY DECLINES, IF THE PRICE OF DIESEL FUEL INCREASES SIGNIFICANTLY, IF FUEL CONSERVATION MEASURES ARE INCREASED, IF FREIGHT BUSINESS IS DIRECTED AWAY FROM TRUCKING, IF TA IS UNABLE TO EFFECTIVELY COMPETE OR OPERATE ITS BUSINESS, IF FUEL EFFICIENCIES, THE USE OF ALTERNATIVE FUELS OR TRANSPORTATION TECHNOLOGIES REDUCE THE DEMAND FOR PRODUCTS AND SERVICES TA SELLSThe premiums used to determine the interest rate payable on our revolving credit facility and term loan and the facility fee payable on our revolving credit facility are based on our credit ratings. Changes in our credit ratings may cause the interest and fees we pay to increase,

OR FOR VARIOUS OTHER REASONS, TA MAY BECOME UNABLE TO PAY CURRENT AND DEFERRED RENTS DUE TO US,We have the option to extend the maturity date of our revolving credit facility upon payment of a fee and meeting other conditions; however, the applicable conditions may not be met,
OUR ABILITY TO GROW OUR BUSINESS AND INCREASE OUR DISTRIBUTIONS DEPENDS IN LARGE PART UPON OUR ABILITY TO BUY PROPERTIES THAT GENERATE RETURNS OR CAN BE LEASED FOR RENTS WHICH EXCEED THEIR OPERATING AND CAPITAL COSTS. WE MAY BE UNABLE TO IDENTIFY PROPERTIES THAT WE WANT TO ACQUIRE OR TO NEGOTIATE ACCEPTABLE PURCHASE PRICES, ACQUISITION FINANCING, MANAGEMENT CONTRACTS OR LEASE TERMS FOR NEW PROPERTIES,
CONTINGENCIES IN OUR ACQUISITION AND SALE AGREEMENTS MAY NOT BE SATISFIED AND ANY EXPECTED ACQUISITIONS AND SALES AND ANY RELATED MANAGEMENT OR LEASE ARRANGEMENTS WE EXPECT TO ENTER MAY NOT OCCUR, MAY BE DELAYED OR THE TERMS OF SUCH TRANSACTIONS OR ARRANGEMENTS MAY CHANGE,
AT MARCH 31, 2018, WE HAD $16.8 MILLION OF CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS, $914.0 MILLION AVAILABLE UNDER OUR $1.0 BILLION REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY AND SECURITY DEPOSITS AND GUARANTEES COVERING SOME OF OUR MINIMUM RETURNS AND RENTS. THESE STATEMENTS MAY IMPLY THAT WE HAVE ABUNDANT WORKING CAPITAL AND LIQUIDITY. HOWEVER, OUR MANAGERS AND TENANTS MAY NOT BE ABLE TO FUND MINIMUM RETURNS AND RENTS DUE TO US FROM OPERATING OUR PROPERTIES OR FROM OTHER RESOURCES; IN THE PAST AND CURRENTLY, CERTAIN OF OUR TENANTS AND HOTEL MANAGERS HAVE IN FACT NOT PAID THE MINIMUM AMOUNTS DUE TO US FROM THEIR OPERATIONS OF OUR LEASED OR MANAGED PROPERTIES. ALSO, CERTAIN OF THE SECURITY DEPOSITS AND GUARANTEES WE HAVE TO COVER ANY SUCH SHORTFALLS ARE LIMITED IN AMOUNT AND DURATION, AND ANY SECURITY DEPOSITS WE APPLY FOR SUCH SHORTFALLS DO NOT RESULT IN ADDITIONAL CASH FLOWS TO US. OUR PROPERTIES REQUIRE, AND WE HAVE AGREED TO PROVIDE, SIGNIFICANT FUNDING FOR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS, RENOVATIONS AND OTHER MATTERS. ACCORDINGLY, WE MAY NOT HAVE SUFFICIENT WORKING CAPITAL OR LIQUIDITY,
WE MAY BE UNABLE TO REPAY OUR DEBT OBLIGATIONS WHEN THEY BECOME DUE,
WE INTEND TO CONDUCT OUR BUSINESS ACTIVITIES IN A MANNER THAT WILL AFFORD US REASONABLE ACCESS TO CAPITAL FOR INVESTMENT AND FINANCING ACTIVITIES. HOWEVER, WE MAY NOT SUCCEED IN THIS REGARD AND WE MAY NOT HAVE REASONABLE ACCESS TO CAPITAL,
CONTINUED AVAILABILITY OF BORROWINGS UNDER OUR REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY IS SUBJECT TO OUR SATISFYING CERTAIN FINANCIAL COVENANTS AND OTHER CREDIT FACILITY CONDITIONS THAT WE MAY BE UNABLE TO SATISFY,
ACTUAL COSTS UNDER OUR REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY OR OTHER FLOATING RATE DEBT WILL BE HIGHER THAN LIBOR PLUS A PREMIUM BECAUSE OF FEES AND EXPENSES ASSOCIATED WITH SUCH DEBT,
THE MAXIMUM BORROWING AVAILABILITY UNDER OUR REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY AND TERM LOAN MAY BE INCREASED TO UP TO $2.3 BILLION ON A COMBINED BASIS IN CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES; HOWEVER, INCREASING THE MAXIMUM BORROWING AVAILABILITY UNDER OUR REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY AND TERM LOAN IS SUBJECT TO OUR OBTAINING ADDITIONAL COMMITMENTS FROM LENDERS, WHICH MAY NOT OCCUR,
THE PREMIUMS USED TO DETERMINE THE INTEREST RATE PAYABLE ON OUR REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY AND TERM LOAN AND THE FACILITY FEE PAYABLE ON OUR REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY ARE BASED ON OUR CREDIT RATINGS. FUTURE CHANGES IN OUR CREDIT RATINGS MAY CAUSE THE INTEREST AND FEES WE PAY TO INCREASE,
WE HAVE THE OPTION TO EXTEND THE MATURITY DATE OF OUR REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY UPON PAYMENT OF A FEE AND MEETING OTHER CONDITIONS; HOWEVER, THE APPLICABLE CONDITIONS MAY NOT BE MET,
THE BUSINESS AND PROPERTY MANAGEMENT AGREEMENTS BETWEEN US ANDThe business and property management agreements between us and RMR LLC HAVE CONTINUINGhave continuing 20 YEAR TERMS. HOWEVER, THOSE AGREEMENTS PERMIT EARLY TERMINATION INyear terms. However, those agreements permit early termination in certain circumstances. Accordingly, we cannot be sure that these agreements will remain in effect for continuing 20 year terms,

CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES. ACCORDINGLY, WE CANNOT BE SURE THAT THESE AGREEMENTS WILL REMAIN IN EFFECT FOR CONTINUING 20 YEAR TERMS,
WE BELIEVE THAT OUR RELATIONSHIPS WITH OUR RELATED PARTIES, INCLUDINGWe believe that our relationships with our related parties, including RMR LLC, RMR INC.Inc., TA, SONESTA,Sonesta, AIC AND OTHERS AFFILIATED WITH THEM MAY BENEFIT US AND PROVIDE US WITH COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGES IN OPERATING AND GROWING OUR BUSINESS. HOWEVER, THE ADVANTAGES WE BELIEVE WE MAY REALIZE FROM THESE RELATIONSHIPS MAY NOT MATERIALIZE,and others affiliated with them may benefit us and provide us with competitive advantages in operating and growing our business. However, the advantages we believe we may realize from these relationships may not materialize,
RMR INC. MAY REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF DISTRIBUTIONS TO ITS SHAREHOLDERS, INCLUDING US, ANDInc. may reduce the amount of its distributions to its shareholders, including us, and
MARRIOTT HAS NOTIFIED US THAT IT DOES NOT INTEND TO EXTEND ITS LEASE FOR OUR RESORT HOTEL ON KAUAI, HAWAII WHEN THAT LEASE EXPIRES ON DECEMBERMarriott, has notified us that it does not intend to extend its lease for our resort hotel on Kauai, Hawaii when that lease expires on December 31, 2019. We are in negotiations with Marriott regarding this hotel. If we and Marriott are unable to reach agreement, we will evaluate alternatives for this hotel, which may include rebranding or selling the hotel. These statements may imply that Marriott will not operate this hotel in the future or that we may have other alternatives for this hotel that may be more beneficial to maintaining Marriott as the operator of that hotel if we are unable to reach agreement with Marriott. At this time we cannot predict how our negotiations with Marriott will impact the future of this hotel. For example, this hotel may continue to be operated by Marriott on different contract terms than the current lease, we may identify a different operator for this hotel or the cash flows which we receive from our ownership of this hotel may be different than the rent we now receive. Also, although the current lease expires on December 31, 2019, AND WE INTEND TO HAVE DISCUSSIONS WITH MARRIOTT ABOUT THE FUTURE OF THIS HOTEL. THESE STATEMENTS MAY IMPLY THAT MARRIOTT WILL NOT OPERATE THIS HOTEL IN THE FUTURE OR THAT WE MAY RECEIVE LESS CASH FLOWS FROM THIS HOTEL IN THE FUTURE. OUR DISCUSSIONS WITH MARRIOTT HAVE BEGUN. AT THIS TIME WE CANNOT PREDICT HOW OUR DISCUSSIONS WITH MARRIOTT WILL IMPACT THE FUTURE OF THIS HOTEL. FOR EXAMPLE, THIS HOTEL MAY CONTINUE TO BE OPERATED BY MARRIOTT ON DIFFERENT CONTRACT TERMS THAN THE CURRENT LEASE, WE MAY IDENTIFY A DIFFERENT OPERATOR FOR THIS HOTEL OR THE CASH FLOWS WHICH WE RECEIVE FROM OUR OWNERSHIP OF THIS HOTEL MAY BE DIFFERENT THAN THE RENT WE NOW RECEIVE. ALSO, ALTHOUGH THE CURRENT LEASE EXPIRES ON DECEMBER 31, 2019, WE AND MARRIOTT MAY AGREE UPON A DIFFERENT TERMINATION DATE.we and Marriott may agree upon a different termination date.
CURRENTLY UNEXPECTED RESULTS COULD OCCUR DUE TO MANY DIFFERENT CIRCUMSTANCES, SOME OF WHICH ARE BEYOND OUR CONTROL, SUCH AS ACTS OF TERRORISM, NATURAL DISASTERS, CHANGES IN OUR MANAGERS’ OR TENANTS’ REVENUES OR EXPENSES, CHANGES IN OUR MANAGERS’ OR TENANTS’ FINANCIAL CONDITIONS, THE MARKET DEMAND FOR HOTEL ROOMS OR FUEL OR CHANGES IN CAPITAL MARKETS OR THE ECONOMY GENERALLY.Currently unexpected results could occur due to many different circumstances, some of which are beyond our control, such as acts of terrorism, natural disasters, changes in our managers’ or tenants’ revenues or expenses, changes in our managers’ or tenants’ financial conditions, the market demand for hotel rooms or fuel or changes in capital markets or the economy generally.
