RED LION HOTELS CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.Organization

Red Lion Hotels Corporation ("RLH Corporation," "RLHC," "we," "our," "us," or "our company") is a NYSE-listed hospitality and leisure company (ticker symbol: RLH) doing business as RLH Corporation and primarily engaged in the franchising and ownership of hotels under the following proprietary brands: Hotel RL, Red Lion Hotels, Red Lion Inn & Suites, GuestHouse, ~~Settle Inn,~~ Americas Best Value Inn, Canadas Best Value Inn, Signature and Signature Inn, Knights Inn, and Country Hearth Inns & Suites.

2.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein were prepared by us pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("GAAP"). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted as permitted by such rules and regulations.

The Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2019 was derived from the audited balance sheet as of such date. We believe the disclosures included herein are adequate; however, they should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2019, filed with the SEC in our annual report on Form 10-K on February 27, 2020.

In the opinion of management, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all of the adjustments of a normal and recurring nature necessary to present fairly our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive ~~Income (Loss),~~Loss, the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Stockholders' Equity, and the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The results of operations for the periods presented may not be indicative of that which may be expected for a full year or for any other fiscal period.

New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326) – Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, as amended by multiple subsequent ASUs, which will change how entities will measure credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that are not measured at fair value through net income. The ASU will replace the current "incurred loss" approach with an "expected loss" model for instruments measured at amortized cost. For trade and other receivables, held to maturity debt securities, loans and other instruments, entities will be required to use a new forward-looking “expected loss” model that generally will result in the earlier recognition of allowances for losses. In October 2019, an update was issued to the standard that deferred the effective date of the guidance to the first quarter of 2023 for smaller reporting companies such as us. We are currently evaluating the effects of this ASU on our financial statements, and such effects have not yet been determined.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which amends the existing guidance related to the accounting for income taxes. The ASU eliminates certain exceptions related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period, and the recognition for outside basis differences related to changes in ownership of equity method investments and foreign subsidiaries. The guidance also simplifies aspects of accounting for franchise taxes and enacted changes in tax laws or rates and clarifies the accounting for transactions that result in a step-up in the tax basis of goodwill. The ASU is effective the first quarter of 2021, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the effects of this ASU on our financial statements, and such effects have not yet been determined.

We have assessed the potential impact of other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards and determined that the provisions are either not applicable to us or are not anticipated to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

3. Business Segments

We have 2 operating segments: franchised hotels and company operated hotels. The "other" segment consists of miscellaneous revenues and expenses, cash and cash equivalents, certain receivables, certain property and equipment and general and administrative expenses, which are not specifically associated with an operating segment. Management reviews and evaluates the operating segments exclusive of interest expense, income taxes and certain corporate expenses; therefore, they have not been allocated to the operating segments. We allocate selling, general, administrative and other expenses to our operating segments. All balances have been presented after the elimination of inter-segment and intra-segment revenues and expenses.

4. Variable Interest Entities

Our joint venture entities have been determined to be variable interest entities ("VIEs") because our voting rights are not proportional to our financial interest and substantially all of each joint venture's activities involve and are conducted on our behalf. We have determined that we are the primary beneficiary as (a) we exert power over two of the entity's key activities (hotel operations and property renovations) and share power over the remaining key activities with our joint venture partners, which do not have the unilateral ability to exercise kick-out rights, and (b) we have the obligation to absorb losses and right to receive benefits that could be significant to the entity through our equity interest and management fees. As a result, we consolidate the assets, liabilities, and results of operations of (1) RL Venture LLC ("RL Venture"), (2) RLS Atla Venture LLC ("RLS Atla Venture"), and (3) RLS DC Venture LLC ("RLS DC Venture"). The equity interests owned by our joint venture partners are reflected as a noncontrolling interest in the condensed consolidated financial statements.

In November 2019, RLH Atlanta LLC, which is wholly owned by RLS Atla Venture, sold the Red Lion Hotel Atlanta International Airport Hotel. Upon completion of the sale, no remaining distributions to our joint venture partner, Shelbourne Falcon Big Peach Investors, LLC, were required and the remaining noncontrolling interest for the entity was reclassified to Additional paid-in capitalon the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

There were 0no cash contributions or distributions by partners to any of the joint venture entities during the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2020 or 2019 except as otherwise described below.

RL Venture

For all periods presented, RLH Corporation owns 55% of RL Venture and our JV Partner owns 45%. In March 2019, secured loans with an aggregate principal of $16.6 million were entered into for ~~two~~2 RL Venture properties, Hotel RL Salt Lake City and Hotel RL Olympia. Shortly thereafter the net loan proceeds were distributed to us and our joint venture partner in accordance with our respective ownership percentages. Accordingly, during the six months ended June 30, 2019, cash distributions totaled $16.5 million, of which RLH Corporation received $9.1 million.

In December 2019, the Hotel RL Salt Lake City was sold for an aggregate sales price of $33.0 million. Proceeds from the sale were used to repay in full the secured loan entered into in 2019 for the Hotel RL Salt Lake City property. As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2020, RL Venture has 1 remaining property, the Hotel RL Olympia.

Cash distributions may also be made periodically based on calculated distributable income. There were no distributions made during the three months ended March 31, 2020. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, cash distributions totaled $16.5 million, of which RLH Corporation received $9.1 million.

RLS DC Venture

As of December 31, 2019, RLH Corporation owned 55% of RLS DC Venture and our Joint Venture Partner owned 45%. In May 2019, a secured loan with principal and accrued exit fee of $17.4 million was executed by RLS DC Venture. The net loan proceeds were used to pay off the previous debt with a principal balance of approximately $15.9 million. There were no cash distributions resulting from the refinancing. In February 2020, the Hotel RL in Washington DC, which was wholly-owned by RLS DC Venture, was sold for $16.4 million. Using proceeds from the sale, together with the release of $2.3 million in restricted cash held by CP Business Finance I, LP, RLS DC Venture repaid the remaining outstanding principal balance and accrued exit fee under the secured loan agreement. The $2.4 million balance remaining in non-controlling interest for the entity was reclassified to Additional paid-in capital on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as no remaining distributions to the joint venture partner are required.

A novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) was first identified in Wuhan, China in December 2019, and subsequently declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization on March 11, 2020. To date, COVID-19 has surfaced in nearly all regions around the world and resulted in travel restrictions and business slowdowns or shutdowns in affected areas. The economic impact of the pandemic thus far has been extremely punitive to travel related businesses across the nation, significantly affecting the operating results of companies within the hospitality industry. WeIn the first quarter of 2020, we considered the actual and anticipated economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on our financial results to be an indicator that the carrying value of our long-lived assets might not be recoverable. Accordingly, we performed a test for recoverability using probability-weighted undiscounted cash flows on our long-lived assets as of March 31, 2020.

Only the Red Lion Hotel Seattle Airport, one of our company operated hotel properties under a lease through February 2024, did not recover the carrying value of the long-lived asset group in the test for recoverability, due to the short useful life and lack of terminal value. After calculating the fair value of the Red Lion Hotel Seattle Airport property long-lived asset group, we recognized an impairment loss of $1.8 ~~million.~~million in the first quarter of 2020. The fair value was determined based on a discounted cash flow analysis, which is a Level 3 fair value measurement. The impairment loss was allocated to the assets within the long-lived asset group on a pro rata basis, with $1.5 million applied against the hotel building leasehold interest, included within Property and equipment, net and $0.3 million applied against the Operating lease right-of-use asset on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. There were no other impairments of our long-lived ~~assets.~~assets in the first or second quarter of 2020.

~~During~~There were 0 hotels sold during the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2020. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, we sold the Hotel RL Washington DC joint venture hotel property, and our leasehold interest in the Red Lion Anaheim for a combined net gain of $7.9 million. There were 0 ~~properties~~hotels sold during the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2019.

6. Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Interim Impairment Assessment

WeIn the first quarter of 2020, we considered the actual and anticipated economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on our financial results to be an indicator that the fair value of our goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets might be less than their carrying amounts. Accordingly, we performed quantitative assessments to measure the fair values of these assets as of March 31, 2020. No impairments were identified based on the quantitative impairment calculations of our goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets. No additional indicators of impairment were identified in the second quarter of 2020.

The following table summarizes the balances of goodwill and other intangible assets (in thousands):

7. Revenue from Contracts with Customers

Inner Circle

In July 2019, the parent entities for eight Inner Circle franchisees and the operating entities for two other Inner Circle franchisees all filed for voluntary bankruptcy protection under Chapter 11 of the United ~~Stated~~States Bankruptcy Code.

~~As of March 31, 2020 there was approximately~~Of the $7.1 million in accounts receivable and notes receivable balances related to these franchisees, including unamortized key money converted to notes receivable upon termination of contracts, we recognized bad debt expense and an allowance of ~~which~~ $0.8 million ~~had been previously allowed for. The remaining balances were supported through a security interest~~ in ~~property improvements~~2019 and bad debt expense and an ~~equity interest~~allowance for the remaining $6.3 million in ~~one of the leaseholds, as well as a personal guarantee of the owner. However, during~~ the first quarter of 2020 when the first lienholder for the collateral property indicated its desire to exercise its right to foreclose on the leasehold interest and liquidate the property. Due to the timing of this action in conjunction with the declinereduction in fair value of collateral combined with timing of bankruptcy proceedings made it apparent the ~~collateral property due~~balances were highly unlikely to ~~the economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have concluded the fair value of the collateral~~be recoverable. There has been no ~~longer supports any of the remaining balances and as such we have recognized bad debt expense of $6.3 million on the previously unreserved balances.~~

~~We recognized $0.1 million and $0.3 million of royalty income from~~additional activity recorded by RLHC related to these franchisees ~~during~~since the ~~three months ended March 31, 2020~~first quarter and ~~2019, respectively.~~

the related balances continue to be fully reserved, but we continue to monitor the ongoing bankruptcy proceedings for any potential changes.

Other Allowances

~~As of March 31, 2020, we evaluated the economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and historical collection information on the collectibility of our accounts receivable and notes receivable balances.~~ We ~~determined it was appropriate to recognize~~recognized additional bad debt expense of $3.4 million in the first quarter of 2020, primarily related to large balances under legal dispute and aged balances from terminated agreements ~~or aged balances placed with third party collections.~~that were negatively impacted by the economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. In the second quarter of 2020 we recognized an additional $0.6 million of bad debt expense, primarily related to terminated franchise agreements.

We did not estimate revenues expected to be recognized related to our unsatisfied performance obligations for our: (i) royalty fees, as they are considered sales-based royalty fees recognized as hotel room sales occur in exchange for licenses of our brand names over the terms of the franchise contracts; and (ii) hotel management fees, since they are allocated entirely to the wholly unsatisfied promise to transfer management services, which form part of a single performance obligation in a series, over the term of the management contract. Therefore, there are no amounts included in the table above related to these revenues.

~~Each of our debt agreements contain customary reporting, financial and operating covenants. We were in compliance with all the financial covenants of our debt agreements at March 31, 2020.~~

RL Venture - Olympia

In March 2019, RL Olympia, LLC, a subsidiary of RL Venture, executed a secured debt agreement with Umpqua Bank for a term loan with a principal balance of $5.6 million. We incurred approximately $33,000 of debt discounts and debt issuance costs in connection with the issuance of the loan. The loan is fully secured by the Hotel RL Olympia property. The loan has a maturity date of March 18, 2021, and a variable interest rate of LIBOR plus 2.25%, payable monthly. The borrower has the option to exercise 2 six-month extensions upon maturity of the ~~loan.~~loan, so long as the borrower is in compliance with covenants. There are no principal repayment requirements prior to the maturity date and the loan includes a financial covenant to be calculated semi-annually in which the property must maintain a minimum debt service coverage ratio of not less than 1.6 to 1.0. ~~Due~~

Primarily due to the negative economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, ~~we have determined~~ the property ~~is unlikely~~failed to meet the minimum required ~~minimum~~ financial covenants as of the ~~next required~~ semi-annual calculation of June 30, 2020. ~~As a violation of~~Due to the ~~financial covenant would result in an acceleration of~~contractual cure period provisions the debt will not be called due prior to the maturity date ofin March 2021, however we will be unable to exercise the ~~loan,~~previously discussed extensions, and as such we have classified this debt as current in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of ~~March 31, 2020, despite~~June 30, 2020. We continue to pursue options to address the ~~previously discussed extensions available~~debt prior to ~~us under~~maturity, such as the ~~loan agreement. We are engaged in ongoing discussions with our lenders regarding potential remedies for the anticipated covenant violation.~~sale of property or alternative financing.

Line of Credit

In August 2018, we drew the full $10.0 million available to us on the Line of Credit under a credit agreement with Deutsche Bank AG New York Branch (DB), Capital One, National Association and Raymond James Bank, N.A., as lenders and DB as the administrative agent. In the first quarter of 2020, we sold our leasehold interest in the Red Lion Anaheim for $21.5 million. Using proceeds from the sale, we repaid the outstanding Line of Credit balance of $10.0 million. This debt is no longer outstanding as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2020 and as the credit agreement has been terminated we no longer have access to this Line of Credit. Due to the early extinguishment of this debt, we recognized a Loss on early retirement of debt of $0.2 ~~million.~~million in the first quarter of 2020.

RLH DC Venture

In the first quarter of 2020, we sold the Hotel RL Washington DC for $16.4 million. Using proceeds from the sale, together with the release of $2.3 million in restricted cash held by CP Business Finance I, LP, RLH DC Venture repaid the remaining outstanding principal balance and accrued exit fee under the RLH DC Venture - CPBF loan agreement of $17.7 million. This debt is no longer outstanding as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2020. Due to the early extinguishment of this debt, in the first quarter of 2020, we recognized a Loss on early retirement of debt of $1.1 million, including a prepayment penalty of $0.6 million.

Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP") Loan

On April 21, 2020, RLHC received $4.2 million in loan proceeds issued pursuant to the PPP of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act ("CARES Act"). In accordance with the CARES Act, RLHC planned to use proceeds from the Loan primarily for payroll costs, rent, and utilities as we concluded we met the certification criteria under the initial requirements of the PPP. However, on April 24, 2020, the U.S. government published additional guidance regarding PPP eligibility. As a result of this new guidance, we determined it was no longer clear that we met the eligibility requirements and accordingly repaid the full amount of the loan in May.

9. Leases

We lease equipment and land and/or property at certain company operated hotel properties as well as office space for our headquarters through operating leases. We have elected the practical expedient so that leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet.

We are obligated under finance leases for certain hotel equipment at our company operated hotel locations. The finance leases typically have a five year term.

During the first quarter of 2020, we sold the Hotel RL Washington DC joint venture property, which had a ground lease with a term through 2080. As of December 31, 2019, we had recorded an Operating lease right-of use asset of $10.8 million, and total operating lease liabilities of $12.9 million for this ground lease. The ground lease was transferred with the sale of the property, resulting in the removal of these balances from the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Also in the first quarter of 2020, we sold our leasehold interest in the Red Lion Anaheim, which had a ground lease with a term through 2021 with renewal options through 2106 that were reasonably assured to be exercised. As of December 31, 2019, we had recorded an Operating lease right-of use asset of $31.4 million, with corresponding operating lease liabilities of $31.4 million for this ground lease. The ground lease was transferred with the sale of the property, resulting in the removal of these balances from the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

10. Commitments and Contingencies

At any given time we are subject to claims and actions incidental to the operations of our business. During the second quarter of 2019, we accrued approximately $952,000 for a settlement over a wage dispute with former hotel employees related to the calculation of pay for certain rest, break, meal, and other periods that are required under California law. Based on information currently available, we do not expect that any other sums we may receive or have to pay in connection with any legal proceeding would have a material effect on our consolidated financial position or net cash flow.

See Item 1. Legal Proceedings within Part 2. Other Information for additional detail.

11. Stock Based Compensation

Stock Incentive Plans

The 2015 Stock Incentive Plan ~~as amended,~~ ("2015 Plan") authorizes the grant or issuance of various stock-based awards, including stock options, restricted stock units, and other stock-based compensation. The 2015 Plan was approved by our shareholders in 2015, and amended in 2017, and as amended provides for awards of 2.9 million shares, subject to adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends and similar events. As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2020, there were 1.2 million shares of common stock available for issuance pursuant to future awards under the 2015 Plan, as amended.

Stock based compensation expense reflects the fair value of stock-based awards measured at grant date, including an estimated forfeiture rate, and is recognized over the relevant service period. For the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2020 and 2019 stock-based compensation expense is as follows (in thousands):


		Three Months Ended March 31,							Three Months Ended June 30,						Six Months Ended June 30,

Restricted Stock Units

Restricted stock units ~~(RSUs")~~ granted to executive officers and other key employees typically vest 25% each year for four years on each anniversary of the grant date. Under the terms of the ~~2015 Plan,~~plans upon issuance, we deliver a net settlement of distributable shares to employees after consideration of individual employees' tax withholding obligations, at the election of each employee. The fair value of restricted stock that vested during the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2020 and 2019 was approximately $0.2 million and ~~$1.2~~$5.8 million, respectively. ~~For RSUs outstanding as of March 31, 2020, there was $1.8~~We expect to recognize an additional $1.3 million in compensation expense ~~remaining to be recognized over the remaining weighted average vesting periods of 23 months.~~ ~~However, in connection with a reduction in force in April 2020, 73,613 outstanding RSUs were forfeited, leaving $1.4 million in remaining compensation expense to be recognized~~ over the remaining weighted average vesting periods of 24 ~~months as of April 30, 2020.~~months.

A summary of restricted stock unit activity for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2020, is as follows:

Performance Stock Units, Shares Issued as Compensation

Performance stock units ("PSUs") are granted to certain of our executives under the 2015 Plan. These PSUs include both performance and service vesting conditions. Each performance condition has a minimum, a target and a maximum share amount based on the level of attainment of the performance condition. Compensation expense, net of estimated forfeitures, is calculated based on the estimated attainment of the performance conditions during the performance period and recognized on a straight-line basis over the performance and service periods. No PSUs were granted during the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2020.

During the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2020, 25,796 PSUs vested at a weighted average grant date fair value of $6.45. The fair value of PSUs that vested during the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2020 was approximately $38,000. No PSUs vested during the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2019. There are no PSUs outstanding and no remaining compensation expense ~~to be recognized~~ related to PSUs as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2020.

Unrestricted Stock Awards

Unrestricted stock awards are granted to members of our Board of Directors as part of their compensation. Awards are fully vested, and expense is recognized when granted. The fair value of unrestricted stock awards is the market close price of our common stock on the date of the grant.

The following table summarizes unrestricted stock award activity for the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2020 and 2019:

13. Income Taxes

We recognized income tax expense of $148,000 and $108,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 we recognized income tax (benefit) expense of $(604,000) and $190,000, respectively. On March 27, 2020, President Trump signed into law the ~~“Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic security Act” (CARES Act)~~CARES Act, which generally allows for unlimited use of NOLS generated in 2019 and 2020 as well as a five year carryback provision and shortening the recovery period for qualified improvement property. ~~We recognized an income tax (benefit) expense of $(752,000) and $82,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.~~ The income tax benefit recognized for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2020 is principally related to the provisions of the CARES Act.

The income tax expense recognized for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2020 and the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 varies from the statutory rate primarily due to a partial valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets, as well as deferred tax expense associated with our acquired indefinite-lived intangible assets, which are amortized for tax purposes but not for GAAP purposes.

We have state operating loss carryforwards, which expire beginning in 2020, and both federal and state tax credit carryforwards, which begin to expire in 2024.

14. Fair Value

Applicable accounting standards define fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (an exit price). We measure our assets and liabilities using inputs from the Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Cash, Restricted cash and Accounts receivable carrying values approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these items. We estimate the fair value of our Notes receivable using expected future payments discounted at risk-adjusted rates, both of which are Level 3 inputs. We estimate the fair value of our ~~long-term~~Long-term debt and capital lease obligations using expected future payments discounted at risk-adjusted rates, both of which are Level 3 inputs. The fair values provided below are not necessarily indicative of the amounts we or the debt holders could realize in a current market exchange. In addition, potential income tax ramifications related to the realization of gains and losses that would be incurred in an actual sale or settlement have not been taken into consideration. Estimated fair values of financial instruments are shown in the table below (in thousands).

15. Related Party Transactions

During the fourth quarter of 2018, we transitioned management of our company operated Hotel RL Baltimore Inner Harbor and Hotel RL Washington DC from RL Management, Inc., to HEI Hotels and Resorts, of which one of the members of our Board of Directors, Ted Darnall, is currently the Chief Executive Officer. Additionally, during the first quarter of 2019, management of our company operated hotel Red Lion Hotel Seattle Airport was also transitioned from RL Management, Inc. to HEI Hotels and Resorts. During the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2020 and 2019, we paid ~~$197,000~~$125,000 and ~~$228,000,~~$312,000, respectively, in management fees to HEI Hotels and Resorts for management of these properties. During the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, we paid $322,000 and $540,000, respectively, in management fees to HEI Hotels and Resorts for management of these properties.

Additionally, as of June 30, 2020, 4 hotels managed by HEI Hotels and Resorts purchase services from our all-in-one cloud-based hospitality management suite, Canvas Integrated Systems. During the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, we sold $174,000 and $181,000, respectively, in services to these hotels. During the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, we sold $397,000 and $326,000, respectively, in services to these hotels. Amounts owed to RLHC by HEI Hotels and Resorts as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 were $77,000 and $52,000, respectively.

On May 31, 2019 we executed a mortgage loan with a principal and accrued exit fee of $17.4 million with CP Business Finance I, LP, an affiliate of Columbia Pacific Opportunity Fund, LP, who currently holds 500,000 shares of ~~RLHC~~RLH common stock. Additionally, Alexander B. Washburn, who served as a member of our Board of Directors from May 2015 to April 2019, is one of the managing members of Columbia Pacific Advisor, LLC, which serves as the investment manager of Columbia Pacific Opportunity Fund, LP. This debt is no longer ~~outstanding as of March 31, 2020.~~outstanding.

16. Dispositions

In the first quarter of 2020, we continued the execution of a hotel asset sales initiative consistent with our previously stated business strategy to focus on moving towards operations as primarily a franchise company, and disposed of two hotels from our company operated hotels segment. These dispositions resulted in a combined net gain of $7.9 million

The following summarizes the result of operations for the two properties sold during the first quarter of 2020 (in thousands):

~~17. Subsequent Events~~

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, economic uncertainties have arisen which RLHC expects to negatively impact our business, operations and financial results. The impact has continued to evolve subsequent to the quarter ended March 31, 2020

and as of the date of these unaudited consolidated financial statements. The duration of the pandemic and the resulting economic uncertainties, and the impacts on RLHC’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows, will depend on numerous evolving factors that cannot be accurately predicted at this time. Given the dynamic nature of this situation, the Company cannot reasonably estimate the impacts of COVID-19 on its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows for the foreseeable future. However, it is expected to have a material, adverse impact on future revenue growth as well as overall profitability.

On April 2, 2020, RLHC announced a significant reduction in force in response to the anticipated impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, reducing our corporate workforce by approximately 40%. Total severance expense of approximately $0.6 million will be recognized in conjunction with the severance, with $0.2 million recognized during the first quarter of 2020 and $0.4 million recognized during the second quarter of 2020.

On April 21, 2020, RLHC received $4.2 million in loan proceeds issued pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP”) of the CARES Act. In accordance with the CARES Act, RLHC planned to use proceeds from the Loan primarily for payroll costs, rent, and utilities as we concluded we met the certification criteria under the initial requirements of the PPP. However, on April 24, 2020, the U.S. government published additional guidance regarding PPP eligibility. As a result of this new guidance the Company determined it was no longer clear that we met the eligibility requirements and accordingly we determined we would repay the full amount of the loan in May.

COVID-19 Update

COVID-19 was first identified in Wuhan, China in December 2019, and subsequently declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization. To date, COVID-19 has surfaced in nearly all regions around the world and resulted in travel restrictions and business slowdowns or shutdowns in affected areas. The economic impact of the pandemic thus far has been extremely punitive to travel related businesses across the nation, significantly affecting the operating results of companies within the hospitality industry. The measures enacted by most governments to combat the pandemic have included intensive restrictions on travel, required closure of businesses deemed non-essential, and shelter in place orders for civilians.

We have undertaken a series of organizational changes and cost cutting measures including changes to senior management, a reduction in force and the consolidation of office space to mitigate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our operating results. As our business is reliant in part on the financial success and cooperation of our franchisees, we have also implemented policy changes to address the impact of the pandemic on their financial condition, including the implementation of a fee deferral program to certain of our franchisees in which billings related to fees for March through May of 2020 could be deferred for up to 12 months, temporary fee reductions for review responses, guest relations fees, and certain other fees, and a delay in implementation of capital intensive brand standards. These changes are expected to reduce cash flow, as our franchisees defer paying royalty fees to future ~~periods.~~

periods and take advantage of temporary fee reductions.

~~While we did experience some impact from the COVID-19 pandemic on our operations in March of 2020, the~~

The impact of the pandemic is ongoing, and the extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic further impacts our business, operations and financial results will depend on numerous evolving factors that we are not able to accurately predict, including the length of travel restrictions and the continuation or extension of government-mandated stay-at-home orders, the duration and spread of the virus, and the extent to which people are willing to resume travel and hotel stays, as well as the financial condition and recovery of our franchisees. Given the dynamic nature of this situation, we cannot reasonably estimate the impacts of COVID-19 on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows for the foreseeable future. However, we expect it will have a material, adverse impact on future revenue growth as well as overall profitability.

Introduction

We are a NYSE-listed hospitality and leisure company (ticker symbol: RLH) doing business as RLH Corporation and primarily engaged in the franchising and ownership of hotels under the following proprietary brands: Hotel RL, Red Lion Hotels, Red Lion Inn & Suites, GuestHouse, ~~Settle Inn,~~ Americas Best Value Inn ("ABVI"), Canadas Best Value Inn ("CBVI"), Signature and Signature Inn, Knights Inn, and Country Hearth Inn & Suites ("Country Hearth").

We operate in two reportable segments:

•The franchised hotels segment is engaged primarily in licensing our brands to franchisees. This segment generates revenue from royalty, marketing, and other fees that are primarily based on a percentage of room revenue or on room count or on transaction count and are charged to hotel owners in exchange for the use of our brand and access to our marketing and central services programs. These central services and marketing programs include our reservation system, guest loyalty program, national and regional sales, revenue management tools, quality inspections, advertising and brand standards. Additionally, this segment includes our initial contracts for Canvas Integrated Systems.

•The company operated hotel segment derives revenues primarily from guest room rentals and food and beverage offerings at owned and leased hotels for which we consolidate results. Revenues have also been derived from management fees and related charges for hotels with which we contract to perform management services, however our last management agreement terminated in February 2019.

Our remaining activities, none of which constitutes a reportable segment, are aggregated into "other."

Overview

Consistent with our previously stated business strategy to move towards operating as primarily a franchise company, in the first quarter of 2020, we sold two of our remaining company operated hotels. On February 7, 2020, we sold the only hotel in our consolidated joint venture, RLS DC Venture, for $16.4 million. Using proceeds from the sale, together with the release of $2.3 million in restricted cash held by ~~our lender~~ CP Business Finance I, LP, RLS DC Venture repaid the remaining outstanding principal balance and accrued exit fee under the RLH DC Venture loan agreement of $17.7 million.

On February 27, 2020, we sold our leasehold interest in the Red Lion Anaheim for $21.5 million. Using net proceeds from the sale, the Company repaid the $10.0 million outstanding principal balance owing under the revolving line of credit with Deutsche Bank AG New York Branch, and other lenders party thereto. Upon repayment of the outstanding balance, the Line of Credit was terminated and these funds are no longer available to us.

For the six months ended June 30, 2020, we reported a net loss of $13.5 million, which included $10.3 million of bad debt expense related to reserves recognized for accounts receivable, key money, and notes receivable for certain Inner Circle franchisees and other customer balances determined to be uncollectible asduring the six months ended June 30, 2020, $0.6 million of ~~March 31, 2020,~~stock based compensation, a $1.8 million asset impairment on our Red Lion Hotel Seattle Airport as a result of the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the operating results of that hotel, $1.4 million of transaction and integration costs relating primarily to fees paid to advisors engaged to review and respond to bona fide inquiries received from parties considering an investment in or acquisition of the Company, a $1.3 million loss on early retirement of debt, ~~$0.5~~$0.8 million of employee separation ~~costs, $0.4 million of stock based compensation, $0.4 million of transaction and integration~~ costs, and $0.2 million of expense related to a non-income tax assessment, partially offset by ~~$7.9~~$7.6 million in gains primarily from the disposal of two hotel ~~properties~~properties.

For the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2020, Adjusted EBITDA was ~~$(10.3)~~$0.3 million compared with ~~$1.0~~$3.7 million in 2019. This decrease was primarily due to ~~$9.7~~the negative impact of COVID-19 on our operating results.

For the six months ended June 30, 2020, Adjusted EBITDA was $(10.1) million compared with $4.7 million in 2019. This decrease was primarily due to $10.3 million of bad debt expense recognized ~~in the first quarter of 2020~~ to establish reserves for certain Inner Circle franchisees in bankruptcy and other customer balances determined to be uncollectible asduring the six months ended June 30, 2020, along with the negative impact of ~~March 31, 2020.~~COVID-19 on our operating results.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

EBITDA is defined as net income (loss), before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. We believe it is a useful financial performance measure due to the significance of our long-lived assets and level of indebtedness.

Adjusted EBITDA is an additional measure of financial performance. We believe that the inclusion or exclusion of certain special items, such as gains and losses on asset dispositions and impairments and discontinued operations, is necessary to provide the most accurate measure of core operating results and as a means to evaluate comparative results. Adjusted EBITDA also excludes the effect of non-cash stock compensation expense. We believe that the exclusion of this item is consistent with the purposes of the measure described below.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are commonly used measures of performance in our industry. We utilize these measures because management finds them a useful tool to calculate more meaningful comparisons of past, present and future operating

results and as a means to evaluate the results of core, ongoing operations. Our board of directors and executive management team consider Adjusted EBITDA to be a key performance metric and compensation measure. We believe they are a complement to reported operating results. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not intended to represent net income (loss) defined by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("GAAP"), and such information should not be considered as an alternative to reported information or any other measure of performance prescribed by GAAP. In addition, other companies in our industry may calculate EBITDA and, in particular, Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do or may not calculate them at all, limiting the usefulness of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as comparative measures.

In the second quarter of 2019, we recognized a Loss on early retirement of debt of $0.2 million for unamortized deferred debt issuance costs and prepayment fees incurred related to the payoff of a mortgage loan at RLS DC Venture, which was replaced through a new mortgage loan with a different lender.

Income Taxes

For the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2020, we reported an income tax ~~benefit~~expense (benefit) of ~~$752,000~~$148,000 and $(604,000) compared with income tax expense of ~~$82,000~~$108,000 and $190,000 for the same ~~period~~periods in 2019. The income tax benefit recognized for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2020 is principally related to the provisions of the CARES Act. The income tax expense recognized for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2020 and the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 varies from the statutory rate primarily due to a partial valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets. See Note 1313. Income Taxes within Item 1. Financial Statements.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our principal source of liquidity is cash flow from operations. Cash flows may fluctuate and are sensitive to many factors including changes in working capital and the timing and magnitude of capital expenditures and payments on debt. We believe the ongoing effects of COVID-19 on our operations have had, and will continue to have, a material impact on our ability to generate cash from our operations and our financial results, and the impact may continue beyond the containment of the outbreak. We cannot assure you that our assumptions used to estimate our liquidity requirements will be correct given the dynamic nature of the situation.

Working capital, which represents current assets less current liabilities, was ~~$34.6~~$32.7 million and $23.0 million as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2020, we had cash and cash equivalents of ~~$37.8~~$33.7 million and debt of $5.6 million. In order to preserve sufficient liquidity during these uncertain times, we implemented certain cost saving measures at the end of the first quarter of 2020, which included a reduction in force of approximately 40%, company-wide compensation reductions, consolidation of office space and a reduction in 2020 capital expenditures and key money commitments. Based upon our current liquidity position, and assumptions regarding the impact of COVID-19, including its duration, economic impact and impact on travel, we believe that we have sufficient liquidity to fund our operations at least through ~~May~~August 2021. However, given the uncertain nature of the COVID-19 pandemic on our operations, we cannot assure you that our assumptions used to estimate our liquidity requirements will be correct.

We may seek to raise additional funds through public or private financings, strategic relationships, sales of assets or other arrangements. We cannot assure that such funds, if needed, will be available on terms attractive to us, or at all. If we sell additional assets, these sales may result in future impairments or losses on the final sale. Finally, any additional equity financings may be dilutive to shareholders and debt financing, if available, may involve covenants that place substantial restrictions on our business.

We are committed to maintaining our infrastructure for systems and services we provide to our franchisees. This requires ongoing access to capital investments in technology and related assets.

Sources and Uses of our Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Restricted Cash

The following table summarizes our net cash flows for operating, investing, and financing activities (in thousands):


		Three Months Ended March 31,							Six Months Ended June 30,
		2020		2019			2020		2019
Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities	Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities	$	(2,294)	$	(2,032)	Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities	$	(5,769)	$	3,055

Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities totaled ~~$2.3~~$5.8 million during the first ~~three~~six months of 2020 compared with ~~$2.0~~cash provided by operating activities of $3.1 million during the same period in 2019. The primary driver of the change in cash flows was ~~an increase~~a decrease in cash flows from working capital accounts of ~~$1.7 million, partially offset by~~approximately $5.0 million. Additionally, there was an increase in net loss excluding Loss (gain) on asset dispositions, net, Asset impairment, and Provision for doubtful accounts of approximately ~~$1.3 million.~~$1.1 million to $8.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $7.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019.

Investing Activities

Net cash provided by investing activities totaled ~~$36.1~~$35.5 million during the first ~~three~~six months of 2020 compared with cash used in investing activities of ~~$1.6~~$2.7 million during the same period in 2019. Cash flows increased infor the ~~first quarter of~~six months ended June 30, 2020 primarily due to net proceeds from hotel sales of $36.9 million during the first ~~three~~quarter of 2020. Additionally, cash spent for capital expenditures was reduced by $1.5 million during the six months ~~of 2020.~~ended June 30, 2020 compared with the same period in 2019.

Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities was $27.8 million during the first ~~three~~six months of 2020 compared with cash provided by financing activities of ~~$8.7~~$2.7 million in the first ~~three~~six months of 2019. During the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2020 we paid off an outstanding loan for one company operated property along with the outstanding balance on our Line of Credit. Additionally, we borrowed and repaid approximately $4.2 million under the PPP loan program in the second quarter of 2020. During the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2019, we executed new mortgage loans for ~~two~~three company operated hotel ~~properties.~~properties while paying off one. Some of the loan proceeds were distributed to joint venture ~~partners.~~

partners and used to pay down a portion of the outstanding principal on our Senior Secured Term Loan.

Debt

As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2020, we had outstanding total debt, excluding unamortized deferred financing costs and discounts, of $5.6 ~~million related~~million. This outstanding debt is secured by the Hotel RL Olympia and the debt agreement includes financial covenants that the hotel property is required to ~~a single~~meet. Primarily due to the negative economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the property ~~mortgage on our RL Venture Olympia property.~~failed to meet the minimum required financial covenants as of the semi-annual calculation of June 30, 2020. Due to the contractual cure period provisions the debt will not be called due prior to the maturity date in March 2021. We continue to pursue options to address the debt prior to maturity, such as the sale of property or alternative financing.

In February 2020, we sold the Hotel RL Washington DC for $16.4 million. Using proceeds from the sale, together with the release of $2.3 million in restricted cash held by CP Business Finance I, LP, RLH DC Venture repaid the remaining outstanding principal balance and accrued exit fee under the RLH DC Venture - CPBF loan agreement of $17.7 million, plus a prepayment penalty of $0.6 million.

Also in February of 2020, using the net proceeds from the sale of our leasehold interest in the Red Lion Anaheim, we repaid the outstanding Line of Credit balance of $10.0 million. Upon repayment of the outstanding balance, the Line of Credit was terminated and these funds are no longer available to us.

See Note 88. Debt and Line of Credit within Item 1. Financial Statements of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, for further additional information about our debt obligations.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2020, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements which have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that effect: (i) the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements, and (ii) the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. We consider a critical accounting policy to be one that is both important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and requires management's most subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. Since the date of our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, we have made no material changes to our critical accounting policies or the methodologies or assumptions that we apply under them.

Item 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Pursuant to Item 305(e) of Regulation S-K (§ 229.305(e)), the Company is not required to provide the information required by this Item as it is a “smaller reporting company,” as defined by Rule 229.10(f)(1).

Item 4.Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2020, we carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our ~~Interim~~ Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and our Chief Financial Officer ("CFO"), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended). Based on that evaluation, our management, including the CEO and CFO, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that material information required to be disclosed by us in the reports filed or submitted by us under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within time periods specified in SEC rules and forms.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in the company’s internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f), during the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2020 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.Legal Proceedings

On September 26, 2018, Radisson Hotels International, Inc. filed a complaint against RLH Corporation and our subsidiary Red Lion Hotels Franchising, Inc. in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Washington. The complaint alleges tortious interference with agreements between Radisson and several franchisees controlled by Inner Circle Investments and seeks damages in an undetermined amount. Court mandated mediation has been scheduled for August 26, 2020. RLH Corporation believes this complaint is without merit and we intend to defend it vigorously.

On October 31, 2018, the Company's lease for the Red Lion River Inn expired. The landlord filed a lawsuit against the Company on January 24, 2019 in Spokane Superior Court, alleging breach of the lease agreement and tort claims relating to the condition of the hotel. The Company filed its Answer on January 25, 2019, denying all allegations and asserting various affirmative defenses. RLH Corporation believes this complaint is without merit and we intend to defend it vigorously.

~~At any given time we are subject to claims and actions incidental to the operations of our business.~~ During the second quarter of 2019, we accrued approximately $952,000 for a settlement over a wage dispute with former hotel employees related to the calculation of pay for certain rest, break, meal, and other periods that are required under California law.

Along with many of its competitors, the Company has been named as a defendant in lawsuits filed in various state and federal courts, alleging statutory and common law claims related to purported incidents of ~~sex~~human trafficking at certain franchised hotel facilities. As of ~~April 30,~~July 31, 2020, the Company was involved (as a named defendant) in ~~six~~three separate ~~sex~~human trafficking lawsuits. The Company is in various stages of seeking dismissal on the basis that the Company did not own, operate or manage the hotels at issue, and intends to vigorously defend the lawsuits.

As a result of downsizing (both prior to COVID-19 and as a result of COVID-19), the Company eliminated a number of positions and laid off a number of employees in the fourth quarter of 2019 and the first two quarters of 2020 A small number of former employees have disputed the basis for their layoffs. On May 7, 2020, a former employee whose position with RLH had been eliminated in September 2019, filed a complaint in the US. District Court for the District of Colorado against the Company alleging gender discrimination, a hostile work environment, retaliation, and disparate treatment. The Company believes that the plaintiff’s claims are without merit and is vigorously defending them. In November 2019, a former employee’s position with RLHC was eliminated, following which the employee submitted a claim with the U.S. Equal Employment

Opportunity Commission alleging gender discrimination and retaliation. The Company has filed its position statement, denying the claims, which the Company believes to be without merit. On June 15, 2020, the Company was advised that on May 20, 2020, a former employee whose position with the Company had been eliminated as of April 17, 2020, had filed a charge of age discrimination with the EEOC and the Colorado Civil Rights Division of the Colorado Department of Regulatory Agencies. The Company has filed its position statement, denying the claims, which the Company believes to be without merit.

At any given time, we are subject to additional claims and actions incidental to the operation of our business. While the outcome of these proceedings cannot be predicted, it is the opinion of management that none of such proceedings, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows or results of operations. See Note 1010. Commitments and Contingencies within Item 1. Financial ~~Statements~~.Statements.

Item 1A.Risk Factors

We are subject to various risks, including those set forth below, and those discussed in Part I, Item 1A1A. Risk Factors in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, that could have a negative effect on our financial condition and could cause results to differ materially from those expressed in forward-looking statements contained in this report or other RLHC communications. You should carefully consider these risk factors, in addition to the other information in this quarterly report.

The COVID-19 outbreak, or an outbreak of a similar pandemic, epidemic or other public health emergency, is expected to have a significant impact on our financial condition and operations.

The current, and uncertain future impact of the COVID-19 outbreak, including its effect on the ability or desire of people to travel, is expected to continue to impact our results, operations, outlooks, plans, goals, growth, cash flows, liquidity, and stock price.

The spread of COVID-19 and the recent developments surrounding the global pandemic are having material negative impacts on all aspects of our business. We have been, and will continue to be, further negatively impacted by related developments, including heightened domestic and foreign governmental regulations and travel advisories, social distancing recommendations by the U.S. Department of State and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, stay-at-home orders and travel bans and restrictions, each of which has impacted, and is expected to continue to significantly impact, our financial results.

As primarily a franchise company in the hospitality industry, we are largely reliant on the financial success and cooperation of our franchisees. Our revenues and operating results are highly dependent upon the ability of our franchisees to generate revenue at their franchised properties, which generates revenue for us from royalty, marketing, and other fees. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, some of our franchisees have had to close their hotels, and others are experiencing unprecedented declines in room revenues. Some of our franchisees may not be able to withstand the financial pressures on their operations, and may have to close their hotels, or may have their hotels repossessed by lenders holding a mortgage on their property. As a result, we have seen and will continue to see a reduction in our anticipated income, collections of outstanding receivables, and overall cash flows, which will have a negative impact on our financial condition and results of operations.

As our business is reliant on the financial success and cooperation of our franchisees, we have implemented policy changes to address the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on their financial condition, including the implementation of a fee deferral program to certain of our franchisees in which billings related to fees for March through May of 2020 could be deferred for up to 12 months, temporary fee reductions for review responses, guest relations fees, and certain other fees, and a delay in implementation of capital intensive brand standards. While these changes are temporary, if the COVID-19 pandemic continues for longer than expected, or reappears in the fall or winter, we may be required to extend some of these fee deferral programs, resulting in additional reductions in income and cash flows and negatively impacting our financial condition.

In addition, the hotel business is seasonal in nature, with the period from May through October generally accounting for the greatest portion of our annual company operated hotel revenues, and franchise royalties that are based on a percentage of hotel revenue. Should the COVID-19 pandemic ~~extend into~~continue through the summer months, we could experience a larger adverse impact to our revenues and results of operations as a result of this seasonality.

We cannot predict when travel restrictions will be ~~lifted.~~lifted and there is a risk that additional travel restrictions will be implemented in certain areas. Moreover, even once travel advisories and restrictions are lifted, demand for hotel accommodations may remain weak for a significant length of time and we cannot predict if and when it will return to pre-outbreak demand. In particular, demand may be negatively impacted by the adverse changes in the perceived or actual economic climate, including higher unemployment rates, declines in income levels and loss of personal wealth resulting from the impact of COVID-19.

We have never previously experienced a crisis of this nature or magnitude, and as a consequence, our ability to predict the impact on our future prospects is uncertain. In particular, we cannot predict the impact of the public’s concern regarding the health and safety of travel, and related decreases in demand for hotel accommodations on our financial performance and our cash flows.

In addition, the COVID-19 outbreak has significantly increased economic and demand uncertainty. The current outbreak and continued spread of COVID-19 could cause a global recession, which would have a further adverse impact on our financial condition and operations. ~~Current economic forecasts for~~The significant ~~increases in~~level of unemployment in the U.S. and other regions is likely to have a negative impact on demand for hotel accommodations once operations resume, and these impacts could exist for an extensive period of time.

The extent of the effects of the outbreak on our business and the hospitality industry at large is highly uncertain, and will ultimately depend on factors outside our control, including, but not limited to, the duration and severity of the outbreak, the length of time it takes for demand and pricing to return and normal economic and operating conditions to resume. To the extent COVID-19 adversely affects our business, operations, financial condition and operating results, it may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks described in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Departures of senior executives or other key employees could adversely affect our business.

We have seen significant turnover among our senior executives over the past five years. Our ~~Chief Executive Officer~~current CEO accepted a permanent role in June 2020 after operating as an interim CEO since December 2019. His predecessor resigned in November 2019 after five years at the ~~company, and we are currently operating with an interim CEO. The Board of Directors has suspended the Company’s search for a permanent Chief Executive Officer at this time.~~Company. Our current Chief Financial Officer was hired in June 2020, while his predecessor was promoted from Chief Accounting Officer April 1, ~~2020; our~~2020 and departed in May 2020. Our prior CFO was in place from January 2019 until March 2020, and her predecessor was hired in 2017 and announced his departure for personal reasons in October 2018. Our Executive Vice President, General Counsel, left the Company in June 2020, our Executive Vice President, President of Global Development, left the Company ~~effective~~in November 7, 2019, and our Chief Marketing Officer departed the Company in May 2019.

Turnover of senior management can adversely impact our stock price, our results of operations, our relationships with our franchisees and may make recruiting for future management positions more difficult. The loss of institutional knowledge and expertise that results from the departure of experienced employees could impact our ability to timely and successfully implement our business plans and strategies, and have a material adverse effect on our business and operations. Changes in personnel could also adversely affect our internal controls over financial reporting, leading to deficiencies or the inability to timely provide reliable and accurate financial reports. Further, we may incur significant expenses related to any executive transition costs that may impact our operating results. For example, we recorded employee separation and transition costs of ~~$0.5~~$0.8 million, and $1.1 million in the first ~~quarter~~six months of 2020 and in the year ended December 31, 2019, respectively, related to executive and management transition, which included severance payments and other incremental expenses. Additional losses of senior team members could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition or results of operations. We currently do not carry key person insurance on members of our senior management team.

We place substantial reliance on the lodging industry experience and the institutional knowledge of the members of our senior management team. We compete for qualified personnel with this experience against companies with greater financial resources than ours. In order to successfully recruit qualified employees, we will likely need to offer a combination of base salary and equity compensation. These future issuances of our equity securities will dilute existing shareholders’ ownership interests. Finding suitable replacements for senior management and other key employees can be difficult, and there can be no assurance we will continue to be successful in retaining or attracting qualified personnel in the future.

To be properly integrated into our company, new executives and employees must spend a significant amount of time learning our business model and management system, in addition to performing their regular duties. As a result, the integration of new personnel may result in some disruption to our ongoing operations, and the lack of continuity among our executive team could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our recent organizational changes ~~organizational changes~~ and cost cutting measures may not be successful.

On April 2, 2020, our Board of Directors announced a series of organizational changes and cost cutting measures including changes to senior management, a reduction in force of approximately 40% of our corporate workforce, a reduction in capital expenditures and the closing of the Company’s Spokane office. These initiatives accelerated cost-cutting measures begun at the end of 2019, and were broadened and accelerated in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. We believe these changes are needed to streamline our organization and reallocate our resources to better align with our current strategic goals, and to respond to the challenges facing the Company as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, these restructuring and cost cutting activities may yield unintended consequences and costs, such the loss of institutional knowledge and expertise, attrition beyond our

intended reduction in force, a reduction in morale among our remaining employees, and the risk that we may not achieve the anticipated benefits, all of which may have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition. We may also discover that the reductions in force and cost cutting measures will make it difficult for us to pursue new opportunities and initiatives, requiring us to hire qualified replacement personnel, which may require us to incur additional and unanticipated costs and expenses.

In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A1A. Risk Factors in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risks described in our annual report may not be the only risks facing our company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results in the future.
