HERSHA HOSPITALITY TRUST AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE THREE ~~AND NINE~~ MONTHS ENDED ~~MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30,~~MARCH 31, 2023 AND 2022 ~~AND 2021~~ (UNAUDITED)

(IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE/UNIT AND PER SHARE AMOUNTS)

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Hersha Hospitality Trust (“we,” “us,” “our” or the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“US GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the general instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by US GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals), considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~September 30, 2022~~March 31, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, ~~2022~~2023 or any future period. Accordingly, readers of these consolidated interim financial statements should refer to the Company’s audited financial statements prepared in accordance with US GAAP, and the related notes thereto, for the year ended December 31, ~~2021,~~2022, which are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, ~~2021,~~2022, as certain footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with US GAAP have been condensed or omitted from this report pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

We are a self-administered Maryland real estate investment trust that was organized in May 1998 and completed our initial public offering in January 1999. Our common shares are traded on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) under the symbol “HT.” We own our hotels and our investments in joint ventures through our operating partnership, Hersha Hospitality Limited Partnership (“HHLP” or “the Partnership”), for which we serve as the sole general partner. As of ~~September 30, 2022,~~March 31, 2023, we owned an approximate ~~85.0%~~83.2% partnership interest in HHLP, including a 1.0% general partnership interest.

Principles of Consolidation and Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with US GAAP and include all of our accounts as well as accounts of the Partnership, subsidiary partnerships and our wholly owned Taxable REIT Subsidiary Lessee (“TRS Lessee”), 44 New England Management Company. All significant inter-company amounts have been eliminated.

Consolidated properties are either wholly owned or owned less than 100% by the Partnership and are controlled by the Company as general partner of the Partnership. Properties owned in joint ventures are also consolidated if the determination is made that we are the primary beneficiary in a variable interest entity (“VIE”) or we maintain control of the asset through our voting interest in the entity.

Variable Interest Entities

We evaluate each of our investments and contractual relationships to determine whether they meet the guidelines for consolidation. To determine if we are the primary beneficiary of a VIE, we evaluate whether we have a controlling financial interest in that VIE. An enterprise is deemed to have a controlling financial interest if it has i) the power to direct the activities of a variable interest entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance, and ii) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE that could be significant to the VIE or the rights to receive benefits from the VIE that could be significant to the VIE. Control can also be demonstrated by the ability of a member to manage day-to-day operations, refinance debt and sell the assets of the partnerships without the consent of the other member and the inability of the members to replace the managing member. Based on our examination, there have been no changes to the operating structure of our legal entities during the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~September 30, 2022~~March 31, 2023 and, therefore, there are no changes to our evaluation of VIE's as presented within our annual report presented on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2021.~~2022.

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION (CONTINUED)

Noncontrolling Interest

We classify the noncontrolling interests of our common units of limited partnership interest in HHLP (“Common Units”), and Long Term Incentive Plan Units (“LTIP Units”) as equity. LTIP Units are a separate class of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership that are convertible into Common Units under certain circumstances. The noncontrolling interest of Common Units and LTIP Units totaled ~~$71,995~~$74,023 as of ~~September 30, 2022~~March 31, 2023 and ~~$51,246~~$73,461 as of December 31, ~~2021.~~2022. As of ~~September 30, 2022,~~March 31, 2023, there were ~~6,990,053~~8,044,927 Common Units and LTIP Units outstanding with a fair market value of $~~55,781~~54,062, based on the price per share of our common shares on the NYSE on such date. In accordance with the partnership agreement of HHLP, holders of these Common Units may redeem them for cash unless we, in our sole and absolute discretion, elect to issue common shares on a one-for-one basis in lieu of paying cash.

Net income or loss attributed to Common Units and LTIP Units is included in net income or loss but excluded from net income or loss applicable to common shareholders in the consolidated statements of operations.

We are party to a joint venture that owns the Ritz-Carlton Coconut Grove, FL, in which our joint venture partner has a noncontrolling equity interest of 15% in the property. Hersha Holding RC Owner, LLC, the owner entity of the Ritz-Carlton Coconut Grove joint venture ("Ritz Coconut Grove"), will distribute income based on cash available for distribution which will be distributed as follows: (1) to us until we receive a cumulative return on our contributed senior common equity interest, currently at 8%, and (2) then to the owner of the noncontrolling interest until they receive a cumulative return on their contributed junior common equity interest, currently at 8%, and (3) then 75% to us and 25% to the owner of the noncontrolling interest until we both receive a cumulative return on our contributed senior common equity interest, currently at 12%, and (4) finally, any remaining operating profit shall be distributed 70% to us and 30% to the owner of the noncontrolling interest. Additionally, the noncontrolling interest in the Ritz Coconut Grove has the right to put their ownership interest to us for cash consideration at any time during the life of the venture. The balance sheets and financial results of the Ritz Coconut Grove are included in our consolidated financial statements and the book value of the noncontrolling interest in the Ritz Coconut Grove is classified as temporary equity within our Consolidated Balance Sheets.

For Ritz Coconut Grove, income or loss is allocated using Hypothetical Liquidation at Book Value ("HLBV method") as the liquidation rights and priorities, as defined by the venture's governing agreement, differs from the underlying percentage ownership in the venture. The Company applies the HLBV method using a balance sheet approach. A calculation is prepared at each balance sheet date to determine the amount that we would receive if the venture entity were to liquidate all of its assets at carrying value and distribute that cash to the joint venture based on the contractually defined liquidation priorities. The difference between the calculated liquidation distribution amounts at the beginning and the end of the reporting period, after adjusting for capital contributions and distributions, is our share of the earnings or losses and the remainder is allocated to noncontrolling interest.

The noncontrolling interest in the Ritz Coconut Grove is measured at the greater of historical cost or the put option redemption value, and is recorded as part of the (Income) Loss Allocated to Noncontrolling Interests - Consolidated Joint Venture line item within the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The value of the noncontrolling interest at the put option redemption value was ~~$4,659~~$6,466 as of ~~September 30, 2022.~~March 31, 2023. As such, we reclassified ~~$2,349~~$1,390 from Additional Paid in Capital to Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests - Consolidated Joint Venture during the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30, 2022~~March 31, 2023 to record the noncontrolling interest at the estimated value of the put option.

~~Liquidity and Management's Plan~~

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the effects of travel restrictions both globally and in the United States, the hospitality industry has experienced drastic drops in demand as a result of government mandates, health official recommendations, corporate policy changes and individual responses. We believe the ongoing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on our operations have had, and may continue to have a material negative impact on our financial results and liquidity, and such negative impact may continue beyond the containment of the pandemic.

On August 4, 2022 and October 26, 2022, we closed on the sale of the seven previously announced hotel dispositions to an unaffiliated buyer for a purchase price of $505,000. These seven hotels included the Courtyard Brookline, the Hampton Inn Washington, DC, Hilton Garden Inn M Street Washington, DC, Hampton Inn - Philadelphia, TownePlace Suites Sunnyvale, Courtyard Sunnyvale, and the Courtyard Los Angeles Westside. The Courtyard Sunnyvale was the only hotel disposition that closed on October 26, 2022. A portion of the proceeds from the sale were used to pay off the Company's junior subordinated notes (the "Junior Notes"), which the Company entered into on February 17, 2021, at a redemption price of 104%, or $164,418. Proceeds from the sale were also used to pay down amounts borrowed under the Company’s line of credit and term loans. Also on August 4, 2022, the Company entered into a new credit agreement for a senior secured credit facility which provides for a $100,000 revolving line of credit and a $400,000 term loan. The Company made an initial draw of $400,000 on the facility’s term loan, using the proceeds to pay off the remaining balances under the Company’s prior line of credit and term loans, effectively reducing the Company’s borrowings and moving the maturity of borrowings under the Company’s credit facility to August of 2024. The $100,000 line of credit provided by the new credit facility remains undrawn. See Note 5 – Debt for additional information borrowings under the Company’s prior credit facility, new credit facility, notes payable, and mortgages.

After considering the reduction in debt from proceeds of the hotel dispositions noted above, the effective extension of maturities of borrowings under our new credit agreement noted above, and forecasted cash flows, the Company believes that it has sufficient liquidity to meet its obligations for the next twelve months. We cannot assure you that our assumptions used to estimate our liquidity requirements will be correct because the lodging industry has not previously experienced such an abrupt and drastic reduction in hotel demand, and as a consequence, our ability to be predictive is uncertain and we cannot estimate when travel demand will fully recover.

Investment in Hotel Properties

Investments in hotel properties are recorded at cost. Improvements and replacements are capitalized when they extend the useful life of the asset. Costs of repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of up to 40 years for buildings and improvements, and two to seven years for furniture, fixtures and equipment. We are required to make subjective assessments as to the useful lives of our properties for purposes of determining the amount of depreciation to record on an annual basis with respect to our investments in hotel properties. These assessments have a direct impact on our net income because if we were to shorten the expected useful lives of our investments in hotel properties we would depreciate these investments over fewer years, resulting in more depreciation expense and lower net income on an annual basis.

Identifiable assets, liabilities, and noncontrolling interests related to hotel properties acquired are recorded at fair value. Estimating techniques and assumptions used in determining fair values involve significant estimates and judgments. These estimates and judgments have a direct impact on the carrying value of our assets and liabilities which can directly impact the amount of depreciation expense recorded on an annual basis and could have an impact on our assessment of potential impairment of our investment in hotel properties.

We consider a hotel to be held for sale when management and our independent trustees commit to a plan to sell the property, the property is available for sale, management engages in an active program to locate a buyer for the property and it is probable the sale will be completed within a year of the initiation of the plan to sell. We evaluate each disposition to determine whether we need to classify the disposition as discontinued operations. We generally include the operations of a hotel that was sold or a hotel that has been classified as held for sale in continuing operations unless the sale represents a strategic shift that will have a major impact on our future operations and financial results. We anticipate that most of our hotel dispositions will not be classified as discontinued operations as most will not fit this definition.

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION (CONTINUED)

Based on the occurrence of certain events or changes in circumstances, we review the recoverability of the property’s carrying value. Such events or changes in circumstances include the following:

•a significant decrease in the market price of a long-lived asset;

•a significant adverse change in the extent or manner in which a long-lived asset is being used or in its physical condition;

•a significant adverse change in legal factors or in the business climate that could affect the value of a long-lived asset, including an adverse action or assessment by a regulator;

•an accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount originally expected for the acquisition or construction of a long-lived asset;

•a current-period operating or cash flow loss combined with a history of operating or cash flow losses or a projection or forecast that demonstrates continuing losses associated with the use of a long-lived asset; and

•a current expectation that, it is more likely than not that, a long-lived asset will be sold or otherwise disposed of significantly before the end of its previously estimated useful life.

We review our portfolio on an ongoing basis to evaluate the existence of any of the aforementioned events or changes in circumstances that would require us to test for recoverability. In general, our review of recoverability is based on an estimate of the future undiscounted cash flows, excluding interest charges, expected to result from the property’s use and eventual disposition. These estimates consider factors such as expected future operating income, market and other applicable trends and residual value expected, as well as the effects of hotel demand, competition and other factors. Other assumptions used in the review of recoverability include the holding period and expected terminal capitalization rate. If impairment exists due to the inability to recover the carrying value of a property, an impairment loss is recorded to the extent that the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value of the property. We are required to make subjective assessments as to whether there are impairments in the values of our investments in hotel properties.

~~As of September 30, 2022, based on our analysis,~~ ~~we have~~ determined that the carrying value of the Gate hotel JFK Airport exceeded the anticipated net proceeds from sale under an executed purchase and sale agreement, resulting in a $10,024 impairment charge recorded during the third quarter of 2022.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU No. 2020-4, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting and in January 2021, the FASB issued 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848), Scope, which further clarified the scope of the reference rate reform optional practical expedients and exceptions outlined in Topic 848. As a result of identified structural risks of interbank offered rates, in particular, the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR), reference rate reform is underway to identify alternative reference rates that are more observable or transaction based. The update provides guidance in accounting for changes in contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions as a result of this reference rate reform. The optional expedients and exceptions contained within these updates, in general, only apply to contract amendments and modifications entered into prior to January 1, 2023. The provisions of these updates that will most likely affect our financial reporting process related to modifications of contracts with lenders and the related hedging contracts associated with each respective modified borrowing contract. In general, the provisions of these updates would impact the Company by allowing, among other things, the following:

•Allowing modifications of debt contracts with lenders that fall under the guidance of ASC Topic 470 to be accounted for as a non-substantial modification and not be considered a debt extinguishment.

•Allowing a change to contractual terms of a hedging instrument in conjunction with reference rate reform to not require a dedesignation of the hedging relationship.

•Allowing a change to the interest rate used for margining, discounting, or contract price alignment for a derivative that is a cash flow hedge to not be considered a change to the critical terms of the hedge and will not require a dedesignation of the hedging relationship.

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION (CONTINUED)

As disclosed in Note 8, Fair Value Measurements and Derivative Instruments, we modified interest rate swap contracts, which serve as cash flow hedges with total notional amounts of $300,000, to replace LIBOR with an alternative reference rate that matches the reference rate of the underlying hedged debt. We did not apply optional expedients and exceptions contained within these updates in the modifications of these contracts. For our remaining borrowing and hedging contracts, we have not entered into modifications as it directly relates to reference rate reform, but we anticipate having to undertake such modifications in the future as we have contracts remaining with lenders and hedging counterparties which are indexed to LIBOR. Some debt contract modifications have occurred and will occur in the normal course of business and will include other changes in the terms, for which this accounting relief is not applicable. However, we anticipate that other debt contract modifications will occur prior to the phase out of LIBOR on June 30, 2023 specifically to address the LIBOR transition, for which we will be able to apply the accounting relief.

Revision of Prior Period Financial Statements

During the third quarter of 2022, the Company identified immaterial errors in its previously issued financial statements resulting from the incorrect amortization of accumulated other comprehensive income related to interest rate hedges. This occurred over the periods from 2019 through 2021, thereby overstating interest expense in those periods as well as impacting certain captions in the equity section of the consolidated balance sheet, including accumulated other comprehensive income, distributions in excess of net income, and noncontrolling interests.

In accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 99, “Materiality,” and SAB No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements,” the Company assessed the materiality of these misstatements both quantitatively and qualitatively and determined that these errors and the related impact did not, either individually or in the aggregate, materially misstate previously issued consolidated financial statements. To reflect the correction of these immaterial errors, the Company is revising the previously issued consolidated financial statements for the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 in this Form 10-Q. As a result, the Company has corrected the immaterial misstatements as disclosed in the following tables for all impacted financial statement line items in prior periods.

Mortgages

Mortgages payable at ~~September 30, 2022~~March 31, 2023 and December 31, ~~2021~~2022 consisted of the following:

~~On August 4, 2022, using the proceeds from the dispositions discussed in Note 2 - Investment in Hotel Properties, we paid off the Courtyard Los Angeles mortgage with a principal balance of $35,000.~~

As of September 30, 2022, the Hotel Milo and Courtyard Sunnyvale mortgages with an aggregate balance of $60,061 were classified as Liabilities Related to Hotel Assets Held for Sale and are included in the Liabilities Related to Hotel Assets Held for Sale section in Note 2 - Investment in Hotel Properties. On October 6, 2022, we paid off the Hotel Milo mortgage balance of $20,696 using the proceeds from the disposition of the property. On October 26, 2022, the buyer assumed the Courtyard Sunnyvale mortgage which had an outstanding principal balance of $39,365 as of September 30, 2022.

Net Unamortized Premium	5		7
Net Unamortized Deferred Financing Costs	(389)		(533)
Mortgages Payable	$	208,186	$	208,354

Net Unamortized Deferred Financing Costs associated with entering into mortgage indebtedness are deferred and amortized over the life of the mortgages. Net Unamortized Premiums are also amortized over the remaining life of the loans. Mortgage indebtedness balances are subject to fixed and variable interest rates, which ranged from ~~3.84%~~4.02% to ~~7.25%~~9.00% as of ~~September 30, 2022.~~March 31, 2023.

Our mortgage indebtedness contains various financial and non-financial covenants customarily found in secured, non-recourse financing arrangements. Our mortgage loans payable typically require that specified debt service coverage ratios be maintained with respect to the financed properties before we can exercise certain rights under the loan agreements relating to such properties. If the specified criteria are not satisfied, the lender may be able to escrow cash flow generated by the property securing the applicable mortgage loan. We have determined that all debt covenants contained in the loan agreements securing our consolidated hotel properties ~~with the exception of the Courtyard Sunnyvale~~ ~~mortgage~~ were met as of September 30, 2022. The lender elected its right to escrow property level cash flow for the purpose of meeting future payment obligations, and as noted above, this mortgage as well as the escrow held by the lender was assumed by the buyer upon disposition of the Courtyard Sunnyvale, CA on October 26, 2022.March 31, 2023.

As of ~~September 30, 2022,~~March 31, 2023, the maturity dates for the outstanding mortgage loans ranged from ~~December 2022~~June 2023 to ~~September 2025.~~July 2024. For ~~the two~~ mortgages with maturity dates within the next twelve months, w~~e are working with the mortgage lenders~~we plan to ~~exercise available extension options under these mortgages, or~~ refinance each mortgage before their ~~maturities.~~maturities, or use available cash on hand or capacity under our revolving line of credit to pay the obligation.

Credit Facilities

On August 4, 2022, we entered into a credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement"), which provided for a secured term loan of $400,000 and secured revolving line of credit with capacity of $100,000, both of which mature on August 4, 2024. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at a rate of Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") plus a 250 basis point spread. The ~~$397,433 term loan per~~following table summarizes the ~~Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2022 consists of the $400,000~~ secured term loan ~~net~~balances outstanding as of ~~unamortized deferred financing costs of $2,567.~~March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022:


	Outstanding Balance

Deferred Loan Costs	(1,867)		(2,217)
Total Secured Term Loan	$	370,986	$	370,636

Immediately upon entering into the Credit Agreement, proceeds from the $400,000 new term loan, along with a portion of the proceeds from the dispositions discussed in Note 2 – Investment in Hotel Properties, were used to pay off and terminate all borrowings under our previous credit facility agreement ("the Prior Facilities"), which consisted of three secured credit arrangements which had an aggregate principal balance of $497,481.

The Company incurred debt extinguishment expense of $4,233 related to the new Credit Agreement and termination of the Prior Facilities on August 4, 2022. Debt extinguishment expense consists of $3,819 of debt extinguishment losses and $414 of

As of ~~September 30, 2022,~~March 31, 2023, we own ~~four~~two hotels (the ~~Gate hotel JFK Airport, the~~ Hilton Garden Inn JFK ~~the Hotel Milo Santa Barbara,~~ and the Annapolis Waterfront Hotel) within our consolidated portfolio of hotels where we do not own the land on which the hotels reside, rather we lease the land from an unrelated third-party lessor. ~~All of our~~Our land leases are classified as operating leases and have initial terms with extension options that range from August 2064 to October 2103. We also have two additional office space leases ~~with terms ranging from~~for our Philadelphia office and New York City office.

Our New York City office lease term is through December 2027. Lease costs for our office spaces are included in General and Administrative expense.

We disposed of the following hotels during the year ended December 31, 2022 which had ground leases that were assumed by the buyers: the Courtyard Brookline, the Gate JFK Airport, Hotel Milo, and Towneplace Suites Sunnyvale.

NOTE 7 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Management Agreements

Our wholly-owned TRS, 44 New England Management Company, and certain of our joint venture entities engage eligible independent contractors in accordance with the requirements for qualification as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, including Hersha Hospitality Management Limited Partnership (“HHMLP”), as the property managers for hotels it leases from us pursuant to management agreements. Certain executives and trustees of the Company own a minority interest in HHMLP. Our management agreements with HHMLP provide for a term of five years and are subject to early termination upon the occurrence of defaults and certain other events described therein. As required under the REIT qualification rules, HHMLP must qualify as an “eligible independent contractor” during the term of the management agreements. Under the management agreements, HHMLP generally pays the operating expenses of our hotels. All operating expenses or other expenses incurred by HHMLP in performing its authorized duties are reimbursed or borne by our TRS to the extent the operating expenses or other expenses are incurred within the limits of the applicable approved hotel operating budget. HHMLP is not obligated to advance any of its own funds for operating expenses of a hotel or to incur any liability in connection with operating a hotel. Management agreements with other unaffiliated hotel management companies have similar terms.

For its services, HHMLP receives a base management fee and, if a hotel exceeds certain thresholds, an incentive management fee. The base management fee for a hotel is due monthly and is equal to 3% of gross revenues associated with each hotel managed for the related month. The incentive management fee, if any, for a hotel is due annually in arrears on the ninetieth day following the end of each fiscal year and is based upon the financial performance of the hotels. For the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2023 and 2022, ~~and 2021,~~ base management fees incurred to HHMLP totaled ~~$2,675~~$1,698 and ~~$2,173, and $7,818 and $5,097,~~$1,999, respectively, and are recorded as Hotel Operating Expenses. ~~For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 we incurred incentive management fees of $590 and $37, and $590 and $37, respectively.~~

Franchise Agreements

Our branded hotel properties that are not managed by the brand are operated under franchise agreements assumed by the hotel property lessee. The franchise agreements have 10 to 20 year terms, but may be terminated by either the franchisee or franchisor on certain anniversary dates specified in the agreements. The franchise agreements require annual payments for franchise royalties, reservation, advertising services and certain other charges, and such payments are primarily based upon percentages of gross room revenue. These payments are paid by the hotels and charged to expense as incurred. Franchise fee expenses for the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2023 and 2022 were $2,669 and ~~2021 were $4,181 and $3,301, and $12,595 and $7,588,~~$3,052, respectively, and are recorded in Hotel Operating Expenses. The initial fees incurred to enter into the franchise agreements are amortized over the life of the franchise agreements.

Accounting, Revenue Management and Information Technology Fees

Each of the wholly-owned hotels and consolidated joint venture hotel properties managed by HHMLP incurs a monthly accounting and information technology fee. Monthly fees for accounting services are between $2 and $3 per property and monthly information technology fees range from $1 to $2 per property. Revenue management service fees are incurred to reimburse HHMLP for costs related to corporate level direct sales and sales support, and are allocated based on total hotel revenue. For the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2023 and 2022, ~~and 2021,~~ the Company incurred ~~accounting~~the following fees of $244 and $277, and $799 and $867, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company incurred information technology fees of $80 and $90, and $257 and $281, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company incurred revenue management service fees of $515 and $399, and $1,664 and $1,236, respectively.

NOTE 8 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS AND DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

Fair Value Measurements

Our determination of fair value measurements are based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, we utilize a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between market participant assumptions based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs that are classified within Levels 1 and 2 of the hierarchy) and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions (unobservable inputs classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy).

Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs may include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, as well as inputs that are observable for the asset or liability (other than quoted prices), such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liabilities, which are typically based on an entity’s own assumptions, as there is little, if any, related market activity. In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

As of ~~September 30, 2022,~~March 31, 2023, the Company’s derivative instruments represented the only financial instruments measured at fair value. Currently, the Company uses derivative instruments, such as interest rate swaps and caps, to manage its interest rate risk. The valuation of these instruments is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs.

We incorporate credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both our own nonperformance risk and the respective counter-party’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements. In adjusting the fair value of its derivative contracts for the effect of nonperformance risk, we have considered the impact of netting and any applicable credit enhancements, such as collateral postings, thresholds, mutual puts and guarantees.

Although we have determined that the majority of the inputs used to value our derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with our derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads, to evaluate the likelihood of default by us and the counter-parties. However, as of ~~September 30, 2022~~March 31, 2023 we have assessed the significance of the effect of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of our derivative positions and have determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of our derivatives. As a result, we have determined that our derivative valuations in their entirety are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Derivative Instruments

The Company’s objective in using derivatives is to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, the Company primarily uses interest rate swaps and interest rate caps as part of its cash flow hedging strategy. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts in exchange for fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying principal amount. Interest rate caps designated as cash flow hedges limit the Company’s exposure to increased cash payments due to increases in variable interest rates. The following table presents our derivative instruments as of ~~September 30, 2022~~March 31, 2023 and December 31, ~~2021:~~2022:

Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive income related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made and received on the Company’s variable-rate derivatives. The change in net unrealized gains/losses on cash flow hedges reflects a reclassification of ~~$(136)~~$7 and ~~$(168), and $(875) and $(747)~~$(367) of net unrealized gains from accumulated other comprehensive income as an increase/decrease to interest expense for the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2023 and 2022, ~~and 2021,~~ respectively.

Fair Value of Debt

We estimate the fair value of our fixed rate debt and the credit spreads over variable market rates on our variable rate debt by discounting the future cash flows of each instrument at estimated market rates or credit spreads consistent with the maturity of the debt obligation with similar credit policies. Credit spreads take into consideration general market conditions and maturity. The inputs utilized in estimating the fair value of debt are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. As of

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward Looking Statements

This report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, including, without limitation, statements containing the words, “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “plan,” “continue,” “intend,” “should,” “may,” "could," "will," "would," "forecast," "project," "potential," "likely," and words of similar import. Such forward-looking statements relate to future events, our plans, strategies, prospects and future financial performance, and involve known and unknown risks that are difficult to predict, uncertainties and other factors that are, in some cases, beyond our control and which could materially affect our actual results, performance or achievements or industry results to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Readers should specifically consider the various factors identified in this report and other reports filed by us with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), including, but not limited to those discussed in the sections entitled “Risk Factors” and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations" of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2021~~2022 and in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, that could cause actual results to differ. Statements regarding the following subjects are forward-looking by their nature:

● our business or investment strategy;

● our projected operating results;

● our ability to generate positive cash flow from operations;

● our distribution policy;

● our liquidity and management's plans with respect thereto;

● completion of any pending transactions;

● our ability to maintain existing financing arrangements, including compliance with covenants and our ability to obtain future financing arrangements or refinance or extend the maturity of existing financing arrangements as they come due;

● our ability to negotiate with lenders;

● our understanding of our competition;

● market trends;

● projected capital expenditures;

● the impact of inflation and the change in interest rates;

● the effects of COVID-19 and its variants and other infectious disease outbreaks;

● the supply and demand factors in our markets or sub-markets, or a potential recessionary environment;

● our access to capital on the terms and timing we expect;

● the restoration of public confidence in domestic and international travel;

● permanent structural changes in demand for conference centers by business and leisure clientele; and

● our ability to dispose of selected hotel properties on the terms and timing we expect, if at all.

Forward-looking statements are based on our beliefs, assumptions and expectations, taking into account all information currently available to us. These beliefs, assumptions and expectations are subject to risks and uncertainties and can change as a result of many possible events or factors, not all of which are known to us. If a change occurs, our business, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations may vary materially from those expressed in our forward-looking statements. Readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements.

Important factors that we think could cause our actual results to differ materially from expected results are summarized below. One of the most significant factors, however, is the ongoing impact of the current outbreak of the novel coronavirus on the United States, regional and global economies, the broader financial markets, our customers and employees, governmental responses thereto and the operation changes we have and may implement in response thereto. The current outbreak of COVID-19 has also impacted, and is likely to continue to impact, directly or indirectly, many other important factors below.

New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict which factors will arise. In addition, we cannot assess the impact of each factor on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. In particular, it is difficult to fully assess the impact of COVID-19 at this time due to, among other factors, uncertainty regarding the severity and duration of the outbreak domestically and internationally, and the possibility of additional subsequent widespread outbreaks and variant strains and the impacts of actions taken in response, and the effectiveness of federal, state and local governments’ efforts to contain the spread of COVID-19 and respond to its direct and indirect impact on the U.S. economy and economic activity.

The following non-exclusive list of factors could also cause actual results to vary from our forward-looking statements:

● general volatility of the capital markets and the market price of our common shares;

● changes in our business or investment strategy;

● availability, terms and deployment of capital;

● changes in our industry and the market in which we operate, interest rates, or the general economy;

● decreased international travel because of geopolitical events, including terrorism and current U.S. government policies such as immigration policies, border closings, and travel bans related to COVID-19;

● widespread adoption of teleconference and virtual meeting technologies could reduce the number of in person business meetings and demand for travel and our services;

● uncertainty surrounding the financial stability of the United States, Europe and China;

● the degree and nature of our competition;

● financing risks, including (i) the risk of leverage and the corresponding risk of default on our mortgage loans and other debt, including default with respect to applicable covenants, (ii) potential inability to obtain waivers of covenants or refinance or extend the maturity of existing indebtedness and (iii) our ability to negotiate with lenders;

● levels of spending in the business, travel and leisure industries, as well as consumer confidence;

● declines in occupancy, average daily rate and RevPAR and other hotel operating metrics;

● hostilities, including future terrorist attacks, or fear of hostilities that affect travel;

● financial condition of, and our relationships with, our joint venture partners, third-party property managers, and franchisors;

● increased interest rates and operating costs and the impact of inflation;

● ability to complete development and redevelopment projects;

● risks associated with potential dispositions of hotel properties;

● availability of and our ability to retain qualified personnel;

● decreases in tourism due to pandemics, geopolitical instability or changes in foreign exchange rates;

● our failure to maintain our qualification as a real estate investment trust, or REIT, under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the "Code";

● environmental uncertainties and risks related to natural disasters and increases in costs to insure against those risks;

● changes in real estate and zoning laws and increases in real property tax rates;

● the uncertainty and economic impact of pandemics, epidemics, or other public health emergencies or fear of such events, such as the recent outbreak of COVID-19, including with respect to New York City;

● the current COVID-19 pandemic had, and will continue to have, adverse effects on our financial conditions, results of operations, cash flows, and performance for an indefinite period of time. Future pandemics may also have adverse effects on our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and performance;

● world events impacting the ability or desire of people to travel may lead to a decline in demand for hotels; and

● the factors discussed in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2021~~2022 under the headings “Risk Factors” and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and in other reports we file with the SEC from time to time.

These factors are not necessarily all of the important factors that could cause our actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from those expressed in or implied by any of our forward-looking statements. Other unknown or unpredictable factors, many of which are beyond our control, also could harm our results, performance or achievements.

All forward-looking statements contained in this report are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements set forth above. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and we do not undertake or assume any obligation to update publicly any of these statements to reflect actual results, new information or future events, changes in assumptions or changes in other factors affecting forward-looking statements, except to the extent required by applicable laws. If we update one or more forward-looking statements, no inference should be drawn that we will make additional updates with respect to those or other forward-looking statements.

BACKGROUND

As of ~~September 30, 2022,~~March 31, 2023, we owned interests in 3025 hotels in major urban gateway markets including New York, Washington DC, Boston, Philadelphia, ~~Los Angeles, Seattle,~~Monterey Bay, Key West, and Miami, including 2622 wholly-owned hotels, 1 hotel through ~~our~~

our interest in a consolidated joint venture, and interests in 32 hotels owned through unconsolidated joint ventures. We have elected to be taxed as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, beginning with the taxable year ended December 31, 1999. For purposes of the REIT qualification rules, we cannot directly operate any of our hotels. Instead, we must lease our hotels to a third party lessee or to a TRS, provided that the TRS engages an eligible independent contractor to manage the hotels. As of ~~September 30, 2022,~~March 31, 2023, we have leased all of our hotels to a wholly-owned TRS, a joint venture owned TRS, or an entity owned by our wholly-owned TRS. Each of these TRS entities will pay qualifying rent, and the TRS entities have entered into management contracts with qualified independent managers, including HHMLP, with respect to our hotels. We intend to lease all newly acquired hotels to a TRS. The TRS structure enables us to participate more directly in the operating performance of our hotels. The TRS directly receives all revenue from, and funds all expenses relating to, hotel operations. The TRS is also subject to income tax on its earnings.

OVERVIEW

We started to realize the effects from the global economic slowdown caused by the COVID-19 pandemic in March of 2020. ~~As a result of~~In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we completed several hotel dispositions to enhance our liquidity to address our various debt obligations and subsequent government mandates and health official recommendations, hotel demand has been substantially reduced across the United States. The effect of COVID-19 on the hotel industry has been unprecedented and has dramatically reduced business and impacted leisure travel, which adversely impacted the Company’s business, financial performance, operating results and cash flows, beginning in March 2020.limit capital expenditures.

Following the government mandates and health official recommendations, and after evaluating the cost of running our respective properties at low occupancy levels versus closing the properties, we originally closed 21 hotel properties and dramatically reduced staffing at the hotels that remained open and at the corporate level; however, we have subsequently reopened all of our hotels. The reopening of our hotels provided us the opportunity to capture incremental demand through the end of 2020 and during the early stages of an economic recovery in 2021.

In 2021, in addition to our focus on strategically reopening hotels and driving occupancy at these hotels, we remained focused on executing expense mitigation measures and shoring up our liquidity position as we continued to face a challenging operating environment. We suspended our common and preferred dividends in 2020. During ~~the three months ended March 31, 2021, we paid approximately $24.2 million in preferred dividend arrearage that was not paid in 2020.~~ ~~We also reduced capital expenditures in 2021.~~ In February 2021, the Company entered into an unsecured notes facility that provided net proceeds of $144.8 million at closing. The initial net proceeds of $144.8 million provided by this facility, along with a portion of the proceeds from asset sales, were used to repay amounts outstanding under our credit agreements, allowing us to amend our credit agreements on February 17, 2021, eliminating maturities under the credit agreements until August of 2022. The credit agreement amendments also waived all financial covenants through March 31, 2022, established accommodative covenant testing methodology through December 31, 2022, and provided additional liquidity at the Company’s discretion.

~~On August 4,~~ 2022, we closed on the sale of ~~six~~ten hotel properties for consideration of ~~the seven previously announced hotel dispositions to an unaffiliated buyer for a purchase price of $435.9~~$641.0 million. These six hotels included the Courtyard Brookline; the Hampton Inn Washington, DC; Hilton Garden Inn M Street Washington, DC; Hampton Inn Philadelphia;, TownePlace Suites Sunnyvale and the Courtyard Los Angeles Westside. The proceeds from the ~~sale~~sales were used to pay off the Company's unsecured notes facility ~~discussed above~~ at a redemption price of ~~104%, or~~ $164.4 ~~million. Proceeds from the sale were also used~~million, and to pay down amounts borrowed under the Company’s line of credit and term loans. ~~Also on~~On August 4, 2022, the Company entered into a new credit agreement for a senior secured credit facility which ~~provides~~provided for a ~~$100,000~~$100.0 million revolving line of credit and a ~~$400,000~~$400.0 million term loan. The Company made an initial draw of ~~$400,000~~$400.0 million on the facility’s term loan, using the proceeds to pay off the remaining balances under the Company’s prior line of credit and term loans, effectively reducing the Company’s borrowings and moving the maturity of borrowings under the Company’s credit facility to August of 2024. The ~~$100,000~~$100.0 million line of credit provided by the new credit facility remains undrawn.

The manner in which the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic will be resolved or the manner that the hospitality and tourism industries will return to historical performance norms, and whether the economy will contract or grow are not reasonably predictable. As a result, there can be no assurances that we will be able to achieve the hotel operating metrics or the results at our properties we have forecasted. Factors that might contribute to less-than-anticipated performance include those described under the headings “Risk Factors” and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2021~~2022 and other documents that we may file with the SEC in the future. We will continue to cautiously monitor lodging demand and rates, our third-party hotel managers, and our performance generally.

SUMMARY OF OPERATING RESULTS

COMPARISON OF THE THREE MONTHS ENDED ~~SEPTEMBER 30,~~MARCH 31, 2023 AND 2022 ~~AND 2021~~

(dollars in thousands, except ADR, RevPAR, and per share data)

Revenue

~~Our total revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2022 consisted of hotel operating revenues and other revenue.~~ Hotel operating revenues are recorded for wholly-owned hotels that are leased to our wholly owned TRS and hotels owned through joint venture or other interests that are consolidated in our financial statements. Hotel operating revenues ~~increased $18,934, or 22.2%,~~decreased $6,736 to ~~$104,141~~$75,091 for the three months ended ~~September 30, 2022~~March 31, 2023 compared to ~~$85,207~~$81,827 for the same period in ~~2021.~~2022. This ~~increase~~decrease is primarily attributable to the sale of ten hotel properties in the third and fourth quarters of 2022, which contributed hotel operating revenue of $17,048 during the three months ended March 31, 2022. This decrease is partially offset by an increase in demand across our portfolio in ~~2022~~2023 as ~~our hotels continue to recover from the decrease in~~ demand ~~caused~~was suppressed by the ~~COVID-19 pandemic. We realized an increase in revenue in all of the markets in which we operate. This is partially offset by the sale of~~ ~~six urban select service hotels on August 4, 2022, which contributed hotel operating revenue of~~ ~~$10,868~~Omicron variant during the three months ended ~~September 30, 2021 compared to $7,177 of hotel operating revenue during the three months ended September 30,~~March 31, 2022. In addition, in South Florida, we fortunately sustained no material damage from Hurricane Ian, but estimate that approximately $500 of revenue was lost due to travel disruption caused by the storm resulting from transient business and group cancellations.

Expenses

Total hotel operating expenses ~~were $62,659~~increased $3,364 to $52,714 for the three months ended ~~September 30, 2022~~March 31, 2023 compared to ~~$49,989~~$49,350 for the three months ended ~~September 30, 2021.~~March 31, 2022. The ~~$12,670, or 25.3%,~~ increase in hotel operating expenses is due primarily to the reopening of food and beverage outlets at several of our hotels and due to increased ~~operations~~occupancy at our hotels for the three months ended ~~September 30, 2022~~March 31, 2023 as a result of the increase in demand ~~as the markets in which we have~~ ~~operations continue to recover from the decrease in demand caused by the COVID-19 pandemic~~.noted above. This is partially offset by the sale of ~~six urban select service hotels on August 4,~~ ten hotel properties in the third and fourth quarters of 2022, which contributed hotel operating expense of ~~$6,372~~ $8,776 during the three months ended ~~September 30, 2021 compared to $3,782~~March 31, 2022.

Table of ~~hotel operating expense during~~Contents

Hotel ground rent decreased by $772, or 70.8%, for the three months ended ~~September 30, 2022.~~March 31, 2023 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022 as a result of the disposal of the following hotels during the year ended December 31, 2022 which had ground leases that were assumed by the buyers: the Courtyard Brookline, the Gate JFK Airport, Hotel Milo and Towneplace Suites Sunnyvale. As of March 31, 2023, we have two hotels in our portfolio in which we incur ground rent: the Hilton Garden Inn JFK and the Annapolis Waterfront Hotel.

Depreciation and amortization decreased by 27.3%, or $5,584, to $14,900 for the three months ended September 30, 2022 from $20,484 for the three months ended September 30, 2021. The decrease is primarily attributable to the sale of six hotels on August 4, 2022, assets that fully depreciated during 2021, and the cessation of depreciation for the hotel assets that are classified as held for sale as of September 30, 2022.

Real estate and personal property tax and property insurance decreased ~~$1,402,~~$2,302, or ~~15.6%~~27.1%, for the three months ended ~~September 30, 2022~~March 31, 2023 when compared to the same period in ~~2021. This decrease~~2022, which is primarily driven by ~~reductions in expense due to~~ the sale of ~~hotels~~ten hotel properties in the third and fourth quarters of 2022 and 2021, as well as a decrease in real estate tax assessments, specifically in the New York City and Washington D.C. markets. In general, our property insurance costs continue to rise annually, which was partially offset by a reduction in expense due to the dispositions noted above.

The decrease in interest expense is primarily driven by the ~~payoff~~pay down of the ~~Junior Notes~~amount drawn under the prior line of credit of $118,684 on August 4, 2022, the decrease in the principal term loan balance of $97,481 after the credit refinancing on August 4, 2022, and the pay off of certain unsecured notes payable on August 4, 2022 which had a principal balance of $158,094..

~~Gain on Disposition of Hotel Properties~~Other Income (Expense)

~~During~~Other income was $913 for the three months ended ~~September 30, 2022, we closed on~~March 31, 2023 compared to other expense of $99 for the ~~sale of six of the seven urban select service hotels and recognized a gain of $167,800 accordingly. There were no hotel dispositions~~three months ended March 31, 2022. Other income during the three months ended ~~September 30, 2021.~~March 31, 2023 primarily consists of the recovery of certain receivables associated with properties sold in 2022 that we had previously deemed uncollectible.

Income Tax Expense

During the three months ended ~~September 30, 2022,~~March 31, 2023, the Company recorded income tax expense of ~~$5,402~~$34 compared to income tax expense of ~~$277~~$21 for the three months ended ~~September 30, 2021. The increase is primarily driven by state income tax incurred as result of gains on hotel dispositions recognized during the three months ended September 30,~~March 31, 2022.

After considering various factors, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, future taxable income and tax planning strategies, we believe that as of ~~September 30, 2022,~~March 31, 2023, it is not more likely than not that we will be able to realize our net deferred tax asset and therefore, maintained the full valuation allowance that was established during the second quarter of 2020. As a result, the balance of our net deferred tax asset at ~~September 30, 2022~~March 31, 2023 is $0. Absent the valuation allowance and the impact of hotel dispositions, the amount of income tax expense or benefit that the Company typically records depends mostly on the amount of taxable income or loss that is generated by our consolidated taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRS”).

Net ~~Income (Loss)~~Loss Applicable to Common Shareholders

Net ~~income~~loss applicable to common shareholders for the three months ended ~~September 30, 2022~~March 31, 2023 was ~~$115,477~~$14,939 compared to net loss applicable to common shareholders of ~~$19,461~~$22,235 during the same period in ~~2021.~~2022.

~~COMPARISON OF THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2022 AND 2021~~

~~(dollars in thousands, except ADR, RevPAR, and per share data)~~

~~Revenue~~

Our total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 consisted of hotel operating revenues and other revenue. Hotel operating revenues are recorded for wholly-owned hotels that are leased to our wholly owned TRS and hotels owned through joint venture or other interests that are consolidated in our financial statements. Hotel operating revenues increased $106,724, or 52.7%, to $309,167 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $202,443 for the same period in 2021. This increase is attributable to an increase in RevPAR across our portfolio during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021 ~~as our hotels continue to recover from the decrease in demand caused by the COVID-19 pandemic~~. The increase in demand is partially offset by a reduction in hotel operating revenue attributable to the sale of the Courtyard San Diego, the Residence Inn Coconut Grove, the Holiday Inn Express Cambridge, the Capitol Hill Hotel, and ~~the Duane Street hotel~~ ~~during the~~ ~~nine months~~ ~~ended~~ ~~September 30, 2021.~~

~~Table of Contents~~

~~These hotels contributed hotel operating revenue of~~ ~~$2,053~~ ~~during the~~ ~~nine months endedSeptember 30, 2021. The six urban select service hotels sold on August 4, 2022 contributed hotel operating revenue of$38,465 during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, which despite the partial period of ownership, is a $9,937 increase in hotel operating revenue compared to~~ ~~$24,340~~ during the nine months ended September 30, 2021. In addition, in South Florida, we fortunately sustained no material damage from Hurricane Ian, but estimate that approximately $500 of revenue was lost due to travel disruption caused by the storm resulting from transient business and group cancellations.

~~Expenses~~

Total hotel operating expenses increased $55,623, or 45.0%, to $179,102 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 from $123,479 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The increase in hotel operating expenses is due to increased operations at our hotels for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 as a result of the increase in demand as the markets in which we have operations continue to recover from the decrease in demand caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. This increase in hotel operating expense is partially offset by the sale of the five hotels noted above in 2021 which resulted in a decrease in hotel operating expense of ~~$1,805~~ ~~during thenine months~~ ~~ended~~ ~~September 30, 2022 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The six urban select service hotels sold on August 4, 2022 contributed hotel operating expense of$18,550 during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, which despite the partial period of ownership, is a $3,677 increase in hotel operating expense compared to~~ ~~$14,872~~ ~~during the nine months ended September 30, 2021.~~

Depreciation and amortization decreased by 19.1%, or $12,121, to $51,179 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 from $63,300 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The decrease is primarily attributable to assets that fully depreciated during 2021, a reduction in expense due to the 2022 hotel dispositions noted above, and the cessation of depreciation on hotel assets held for sale as of September 30, 2022.

Real estate and personal property tax and property insurance decreased $4,121, or 14.5%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 when compared to the same period in 2021, which is primarily due to the sale of hotels noted above, as well as a decrease in real estate tax assessments, specifically in the New York City and Washington D.C. markets. In general, our property insurance costs continue to rise annually, which was partially offset by a reduction in expense due to the dispositions noted above.

General and administrative expense was $17,692 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $15,199 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. General and administrative expense includes expenses related to payroll, rents, and other corporate level administrative costs as well as non-cash share based payments issued as compensation to the Company’s trustees, executives, and employees. Expenses related to non-cash share based compensation increased $1,591 when comparing the nine months ended September 30, 2022 to 2021. This increase resulted primarily from a difference in the timing of share based compensation recognition. Please refer to “Note 9 – Share Based Payments” of the notes to the consolidated financial statements for more information about our share based compensation.

During the third quarter of 2022, the Company determined that the carrying value of the Gate hotel JFK Airport exceeded the anticipated net proceeds from sale, resulting in a $10,024 loss on impairment of assets recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

~~Operating Income (Loss)~~

Operating income (loss) for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 improved by $55,346 to operating income of $24,186 during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to operating loss of $31,160 during the same period in 2021. The change in operating income (loss) is primarily due to an increase in demand during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to the same period in 2021. Increases in hotel operating revenues during the period outpaced increases in hotel operating expense, contributing to improvement in operating margins, as the markets in which we operate continue to recover from the decrease in demand caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

~~Interest Expense~~

Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $39,600 compared to $41,886 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The decrease in interest expense is primarily driven by the pay down of the amount drawn under the prior Line of Credit of $118,684 on August 4, 2022, as well as the decrease in the principal term loan balance of $97,481 after the credit refinancing on August 4, 2022.

~~Table of Contents~~

~~Gain on Disposition of Hotel Properties~~

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we closed on the sale of six of the seven urban select service hotels and recognized a gain of $167,800 accordingly, as compared to a total gain of $48,352 recognized during the nine months ended ended September 30, 2021 related to the disposition of the Residence Inn Coconut Grove, the Courtyard San Diego, the Capitol Hill Hotel, and the Holiday Inn Express Cambridge Hotel.

~~Loss on Debt Extinguishment~~

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we incurred a loss on debt extinguishment of $17,958 as compared to a loss on debt extinguishment of $3,069 incurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2021. We incurred $13,725 of debt extinguishment losses upon redemption of the junior notes on August 4, 2022, and $4,233 of debt modification and extinguishment losses as a result of refinancing our credit facilities on August 4, 2022. The loss on debt extinguishment of $3,069 incurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 is primarily related to debt modification losses incurred on our February 17, 2021 credit agreement amendment.

~~Income Tax (Expense) Benefit~~

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recorded income tax expense of $5,516 compared to an income tax benefit of $161 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The increase is primarily driven by state income tax incurred as result of gains on hotel dispositions recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

After considering various factors, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, future taxable income and tax planning strategies, we believe that as of September 30, 2022, it is not more likely than not that we will be able to realize our net deferred tax asset and therefore, maintained the full valuation allowance that was established during the second quarter of 2020. As a result, the balance of our net deferred tax asset at September 30, 2022 is $0. Absent the valuation allowance and the impact of hotel dispositions, the amount of income tax expense or benefit that the Company typically records depends mostly on the amount of taxable income or loss that is generated by our consolidated taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRS”).

~~Net Income (Loss) Applicable to Common Shareholders~~

Net income applicable to common shareholders for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $95,669 compared to net loss of $44,503 during the same period in 2021, which is an improvement of $140,172. This change is primarily related to an increase in gains on hotel dispositions of $119,448, as well as improved operating income for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to 2021, ~~partially offset by an increase in loss on debt extinguishment of $14,889.~~

LIQUIDITY, CAPITAL RESOURCES, AND EQUITY OFFERINGS

(dollars in thousands, except per share data)

Potential Sources of Capital

Our organizational documents do not limit the amount of indebtedness that we may incur. Our ability to incur additional debt is dependent upon a number of factors, including the current state of the overall credit markets, our degree of leverage and borrowing restrictions imposed by existing lenders. Our ability to raise funds through the issuance of debt and equity securities is dependent upon, among other things, capital market volatility, risk tolerance of investors, general market conditions for REITs and market perceptions related to the Company’s ability to generate cash flow and positive returns on its investments.

In addition, our mortgage indebtedness contains various financial and non-financial covenants customarily found in secured, nonrecourse financing arrangements. If the specified criteria are not satisfied, the lender may be able to escrow cash flow generated by the property securing the applicable mortgage loan. Future deterioration in market conditions could cause restrictions in our access to the cash flow of additional properties.

In addition to the incurrence of debt and the offering of equity securities, dispositions of property may serve as additional capital resources and sources of liquidity. We may recycle capital from stabilized assets or from sales of hotels in secondary and tertiary markets. Capital from these types of transactions is intended to be redeployed into high growth acquisitions, share buybacks, or to pay down existing debt.

~~Junior Unsecured Notes Facility~~

~~In February 2021, the Company entered into a junior unsecured notes facility (“Junior Notes”) that provided net proceeds~~As of ~~$144,750 at closing. The Junior Notes bore interest at a rate of 9.50%, of which half, or 4.75%, was paid in cash through~~ March 31, 2022, with the remaining half added to the principal of the note through March 31, 2022. During the three months ended June 30, 2022, interest at a rate of 9.50% was paid in cash. The original maturity date under the Junior Notes was February of 2026 and the notes were non-callable through February 2022. The Junior Notes were callable at 104% beginning February of 2022.

On August 4, 2022, using the proceeds from the disposition of the Courtyard Brookline, MA; the Hampton Inn Washington, DC; Hilton Garden Inn M Street, Washington, DC; Hampton Inn Philadelphia, PA; TownePlace Suites Sunnyvale, CA and the Courtyard Los Angeles Westside, CA;2023 we ~~paid off the Junior Notes at a redemption price of 104%, or $164,418, and as well as the Prior Facilities, discussed below.~~had no off-balance sheet arrangements.

Credit Facility and Term Loans

Prior to the credit refinancing on August 4, 2022, our secured debt facilities aggregated to $747,481 and were comprised of a $442,404 senior credit facility and two term loans totaling $305,077. The credit facility (“Prior Credit Facility”) contained a $192,404 term loan (“Prior First Term Loan”) and a $250,000 revolving line of credit (“Prior Line of Credit”), and was set to expire on August 10, 2022. Prior to the refinancing, we had $118,684 outstanding under the Line of Credit. Our two additional term loan balances were $278,846 (“Prior Second Term Loan”) and $26,231 (“Prior Third Term Loan”) with an original maturity date of September 10, 2024 and August 10, 2022, respectively.

On August 4, 2022, we entered into a credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement"), with certain lenders, for whom Citibank, N.A. ("Citibank") acted as the administrative agreement and collateral agent, Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. and Manufacturers and Traders Trust Company acted as the co-syndication agents, and Citibank, Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, and Manufacturers and Traders Trust Company acted as joint lead arrangers and joint book running managers. The Credit Agreement provided for a new secured term loan of ~~$400,000~~$400.0 million and secured revolving line of credit with capacity of ~~$100,000~~$100.0 million which mature in August of 2024. Immediately upon entering into the Credit Agreement, proceeds from the ~~$400,000~~$400.0 million new term loan, along with a portion of the proceeds from the dispositions discussed in Note 2 – Investment in Hotel Properties, were used to pay off and terminate all borrowings under the Prior Facilities.

All borrowings under the Credit Agreement ~~will~~ bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at the option of the Company, either (i) 2.50% plus Adjusted Term SOFR (defined as the forward-looking term rate based on SOFR plus 0.10%), or (ii) 1.50% plus the Base Rate (defined as the highest of (a) the rate of interest announced publicly by Citibank, as its base rate, (b) ½ of 1% per annum above the Federal Funds Rate and (c) the Adjusted Term SOFR for a one-month Interest Period in

effect on such day plus 1.00% per annum). The Credit Agreement provides for a 0.00% floor for borrowings at Adjusted Term SOFR and a 1.00% floor for borrowings at the Base Rate. The Credit Agreement also permits the issuance of letters of credit.

Acquisitions

During the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30, 2022~~March 31, 2023 and ~~2021~~2022, we acquired no hotel properties. We intend to invest in additional hotels only as suitable opportunities arise and adequate sources of capital are available. We expect that future investments in hotels will depend upon and will be financed by, in whole or in part, our existing cash, the proceeds from additional issuances of common or preferred shares, proceeds from the sale of assets, issuances of Common Units, issuances of preferred units or other securities or borrowings secured by hotel assets and under our Line of Credit.

Dispositions

During the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30, 2021, we disposed of four hotel properties for an aggregate sales price of $178,500 resulting in a gain on disposition of $48,283. The net proceeds were used to repay existing debt.~~

~~On August 4, 2022~~March 31, 2023 and ~~October 26,~~ 2022 we closed on the sale of the seven previously announced hotel dispositions to an unaffiliated buyer for a purchase price of $505,000. These seven hotels included the Courtyard Brookline; the Hampton Inn Washington, DC; Hilton Garden Inn M Street Washington, DC; Hampton Inn Philadelphia; TownePlace Suites Sunnyvale; Courtyard Sunnyvale; and the Courtyard Los Angeles Westside. The proceeds from the sale were used to pay off the Junior Notes at a redemption price of 104%, ~~or $164,418, and the Prior Facilities.~~

~~As of September 30, 2022,~~ there were ~~four assets classified as held for sale: the Courtyard Sunnyvale, the Pan Pacific Seattle, the Hotel Milo Santa Barbara and the Gate~~no hotel ~~JFK Airport. On October 6, 2022, we closed on the sale of~~ ~~the Hotel Milo Santa Barbara for a sales price of $55,000 and paid off the outstanding mortgage of $20,696 at closing. On October 19, 2022,~~ ~~we closed on the sale of the Pan Pacific Seattle~~ ~~for a sales price of $70,000, and a portion of the proceeds were used to pay down the Term Loan in the amount of~~ ~~$22,380~~. On October 26, 2022, we closed on the sale of the Courtyard Sunnyvale for a sales price of $69,100, and the loan amount of $39,309 was assumed by the buyer. We expect the sale of the Gate hotel JFK Airport to close in the fourth quarter of 2022, subject to customary closing conditions.property dispositions.

Operating Liquidity and Capital Expenditures

Our short-term liquidity requirements generally consist of funds necessary to pay our scheduled debt service and operating expenses and capital expenditures directly associated with our hotels. We expect to meet our short-term liquidity

requirements generally through net cash provided by operations, existing cash balances and, if necessary, short-term borrowings under the new ~~$100,000~~$100.0 million line of credit.

To qualify as a REIT, we must distribute annually at least 90% of our taxable income. This distribution requirement limits our ability to retain earnings and requires us to raise additional capital in order to grow our business and acquire additional hotel properties. However, there is no assurance that we will be able to borrow funds or raise additional equity capital on terms acceptable to us, if at all. In addition, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to make distributions to our shareholders.

During the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30, 2022,~~March 31, 2023, we spent ~~$17,936~~$9,953 on capital expenditures to renovate, improve or replace assets at our hotels. This compares to ~~$7,992~~$4,219 spent during the same period in ~~2021.~~2022. These capital expenditures were undertaken to comply with brand mandated improvements and to initiate projects that we believe will generate a return on investment. We may spend additional amounts, if necessary, to comply with the requirements of any franchise license under which any of our hotels operate and otherwise to the extent we deem such expenditures to be prudent. We are also obligated to fund the cost of certain capital improvements to our hotels.

We expect to use operating cash flow, borrowings under the Line of Credit, and proceeds from issuances of our securities and hotel dispositions to pay for the cost of capital improvements and any furniture, fixture and equipment requirements.

The ~~following items are the major contributing factors for the change in financing cash flows:~~

•The primary use of cash in 2021 was the payment of $187,024 of outstanding borrowings under the Prior Term Loan agreements and a repayment of $14,369 on our Prior Line of Credit. We received net proceeds of $144,750 from the issuance of the Junior Notes, a portion of which, in addition to the proceeds received from the hotel dispositions noted above, were used to pay down the Term Loans and Line of Credit. Our primary use of cash in 2022 was the repayment of the Prior Term Loans of $497,481 and the Prior Line of Credit of $118,684, as well as the pay down of the Junior Notes of $159,923. We used proceeds from the hotel dispositions noted above, as well as proceeds of $400,000 from the new Term Loan to repay these debt obligations.

FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS

(in thousands, except share data)

The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) developed Funds from Operations (“FFO”) as a non-GAAP financial measure of performance of an equity REIT in order to recognize that income-producing real estate historically has not depreciated on the basis determined under GAAP. We calculate FFO applicable to common shares and Common Units in accordance with the December 2018 Financial Standards White Paper of NAREIT, which we refer to as the White Paper. The White Paper defines FFO as net income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP) excluding depreciation and amortization related to real estate, gains and losses from the sale of certain real estate assets, gains and losses from change in control, and impairment write-downs of certain real estate assets and investments in entities when the impairment is directly attributable to decreases in the value of depreciable real estate held by an entity. Our interpretation of the NAREIT definition is that noncontrolling interest in net income (loss) should be added back to (deducted from) net income (loss) as part of reconciling net income (loss) to FFO. Our FFO computation may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs that do not compute FFO in accordance with the NAREIT definition, or that interpret the NAREIT definition differently than we do.

The GAAP measure that we believe to be most directly comparable to FFO, net income (loss) applicable to common shareholders, includes loss from the impairment of certain depreciable assets, our investment in unconsolidated joint ventures and land, depreciation and amortization expenses, gains or losses on property sales, noncontrolling interest and preferred dividends. In computing FFO, we eliminate these items because, in our view, they are not indicative of the results from our property operations. We determined that the loss from the impairment of certain depreciable assets including investments in unconsolidated joint ventures and land, was driven by a measurable decrease in the fair value of certain hotel properties and other assets as determined by our analysis of those assets in accordance with applicable GAAP. As such, these impairments have been eliminated from net loss to determine FFO.

FFO does not represent cash flows from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered an alternative to net income as an indication of the Company’s performance or to cash flow as a measure of liquidity or ability to make distributions. We consider FFO to be a meaningful, additional measure of operating performance because it excludes the effects of the assumption that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time, and because it is widely used by industry analysts as a performance measure. We show both FFO from consolidated hotel operations and FFO from unconsolidated joint ventures because we believe it is meaningful for the investor to understand the relative contributions from our consolidated and unconsolidated hotels. The display of both FFO from consolidated hotels and FFO from unconsolidated joint ventures allows for a detailed analysis of the operating performance of our hotel portfolio by management and investors. We present FFO applicable to common shares and Common Units because our Common Units are redeemable for common shares. We believe it is meaningful for the investor to understand FFO applicable to all common shares and Common Units.

CYBERSECURITY

The hospitality industry and certain of the major brand and franchise companies have recently experienced cybersecurity breaches. We are not aware of any material cybersecurity losses at any of our properties. We manage cybersecurity risks at our hotel properties through our franchisors and property management companies. An important part of our cybersecurity risk mitigation efforts includes maintaining cybersecurity insurance and indemnifications in certain of our property management agreements. The Risk & Environmental, Social, Governance Sub-Committee of the Audit Committee of the Board of Trustees provides on-going oversight of management's approach to managing cybersecurity risks.

INFLATION

Operators of hotel properties, in general, possess the ability to adjust room rates daily to reflect the effects of inflation. However, competitive pressures may limit the ability of our management companies to raise room rates. Additionally, our management companies will face challenges to raise room rates to reflect the impact of inflation until there is a substantial economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic. Increasing inflation could adversely affect consumer confidence, which could reduce consumer purchasing power and demand for lodging. Additionally, an increased rate of inflation will cause our operating and renovation costs to increase. These conditions could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial conditions, results of operations and cash flows.

BUSINESS INTERRUPTION

Being in the real estate industry, the Company is exposed to natural disasters on both a local and national scale. Although management believes the Company has adequate insurance to cover this exposure, there can be no assurance that such events will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

Critical accounting estimates are those that management believes are the most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and require the most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain, especially in light of the current economic environment due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The estimates and assumptions made by management in applying critical accounting policies have not changed materially during ~~2022~~2023 and ~~2021~~2022 and none of the estimates or assumptions have proven to be materially incorrect or resulted in our recording any significant adjustments relating to prior periods.

Investment in Hotel Properties

We review our portfolio on an on-going basis to evaluate the existence of any of the aforementioned events or changes in circumstances that would require us to test for recoverability. In general, our review of recoverability is based on an estimate of the future undiscounted cash flows, excluding interest charges, expected to result from the property’s use and eventual disposition.

Our impairment evaluation contains uncertainties because it requires management to make assumptions and to apply judgment to estimate future cash flows and asset fair values. Key assumptions used in estimating future cash flows and asset fair values include expected future operating income, as well as the holding period and the expected terminal capitalization rate. Estimates of revenue growth and operating expenses are based on third-party market data, where available and applicable to the hotel evaluated, and internal projections which consider the hotel’s historical performance, hotel demand, competition and other factors that impact the hotel’s performance. The terminal capitalization rate is selected based on third-party market data, recent dispositions, and what we believe a buyer would assume when determining a purchase price for the hotel. These estimates are subjective and our ability to realize future cash flows and asset fair values is affected by factors such as ongoing maintenance and improvement of the assets, changes in economic conditions and changes in operating performance.

If impairment exists due to the inability to recover the carrying value of a property, an impairment loss is recorded to the extent that the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value of the property. As of ~~September 30, 2022,~~March 31, 2023, based on our analysis, we have determined that the ~~carrying value~~estimated future cash flow of each of the ~~Gate hotel JFK Airport exceeded the anticipated net proceeds from sale under an executed purchase and sale agreement, resulting~~properties in ~~a $10,024 impairment charge recorded during the third quarter of 2022.~~our portfolio is sufficient to recover its carrying value.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk (in thousands, except per share data)

Our primary market risk exposure is to changes in interest rates on our variable rate debt. As of ~~September 30, 2022,~~March 31, 2023, we are exposed to interest rate risk with respect to certain variable rate mortgages, and notes payable. As of ~~September 30, 2022,~~March 31, 2023, we had total variable rate debt outstanding of $~~201,226~~173,612 with a weighted average interest rate of 7.49%~~4.90%~~. The effect of a 100 basis point increase or decrease in the interest rate on our variable rate debt outstanding as of ~~September 30, 2022~~March 31, 2023 would be an increase or decrease in our interest expense for the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~September 30, 2022~~March 31, 2023 of ~~$503 and $1,512, respectively.~~$434.

Our interest rate risk objectives are to limit the impact of interest rate fluctuations on earnings and cash flows and to lower our overall borrowing costs. To achieve these objectives, we manage our exposure to fluctuations in market interest rates for a portion of our borrowings through the use of fixed rate debt instruments to the extent that reasonably favorable rates are obtainable with such arrangements. We have also entered into derivative financial instruments such as interest rate swaps or caps, and in the future may enter into treasury options or locks, to mitigate our interest rate risk on a related financial instrument or to effectively lock the interest rate on a portion of our variable rate debt. As of ~~September 30, 2022,~~March 31, 2023, we have six interest rate swaps related to debt on Hilton Garden Inn, 52nd Street, New York, NY; Hyatt Union Square, New York, NY; Hilton Garden Inn Tribeca, New York, NY; and our Credit Facility. We do not intend to enter into derivative or interest rate transactions for speculative purposes.

As of ~~September 30, 2022,~~March 31, 2023, approximately ~~72.1%~~73% of our outstanding consolidated long-term indebtedness was subject to fixed rates, while ~~27.9%~~27% of our outstanding long term indebtedness is subject to floating rates. The majority of our floating rate debt and any corresponding derivative instruments are indexed to various tenors of LIBOR or SOFR.

On March 5, 2021, the Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”) announced that USD LIBOR will no longer be published after June 30, 2023. This announcement has several implications, including setting the spread that may be used to automatically convert contracts from LIBOR to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"). Additionally, banks discontinued new LIBOR debt issuances by December 31, 2021. However, the ICE Benchmark Administration, in its capacity as administrator of LIBOR, has announced that it intends to extend publication of LIBOR (other than one-week and two-month tenors) by 18 months to June 2023.

Any changes adopted by the FCA or other governing bodies in the method used for determining LIBOR may result in a sudden or prolonged increase or decrease in reported LIBOR. If that were to occur, our interest payments could change. In addition, uncertainty about the extent and manner of future changes may result in interest rates and/or payments that are higher or lower than if LIBOR were to remain available in its current form. In anticipation of the cessation of LIBOR, we may need to renegotiate credit facilities and any credit agreements extending beyond 2022 that utilize LIBOR as a factor in determining the interest rate or rely on certain fallback provisions that could cause interest rates to shift to a base rate plus a margin. Any such renegotiations may have a material adverse effect on our business.

Changes in market interest rates on our fixed-rate debt impact the fair value of the debt, but such changes have no impact on interest expense incurred. If interest rates rise 100 basis points and our fixed rate debt balance remains constant, we expect the fair value of our debt to decrease. The sensitivity analysis related to our fixed-rate debt assumes an immediate 100 basis point move in interest rates from their ~~September 30, 2022~~March 31, 2023 levels, with all other variables held constant. A 100 basis point increase in market interest rates would cause the fair value of our fixed-rate debt outstanding at ~~September 30, 2022~~March 31, 2023 to be approximately ~~$689,599~~ $605,730 and a 100 basis point decrease in market interest rates would cause the fair value of our fixed-rate debt outstanding at ~~September 30, 2022~~March 31, 2023 to be approximately ~~$705,913.~~ $616,033.

We regularly review interest rate exposure on our outstanding borrowings in an effort to minimize the risk of interest rate fluctuations. For debt obligations outstanding as of ~~September 30, 2022,~~March 31, 2023, the following table presents expected principal repayments and related weighted average interest rates by expected maturity dates:

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

~~None.~~We are not presently subject to any material litigation nor, to our knowledge, is any other litigation threatened against us, other than routine actions for negligence or other claims and administrative proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business, some of which are expected to be covered by liability insurance and all of which collectively are not expected to have a material adverse effect on our liquidity, results of operations or business or financial condition.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

~~The impact of the Russian invasion of Ukraine on the global economy is uncertain, but may prove to negatively impact our business and operations.~~

While the Company does not have any material business, operations or assets in Russia, Belarus or Ukraine, and has not been materially impacted by the actions of the Russian government at this time, the short and long-term implications of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine are difficult to predict. We continue to monitor any adverse impact that the outbreak of war in Ukraine and the subsequent institution of sanctions against Russia by the United States and several European and Asian countries may have on the global economy in general, on our business and operations and on the businesses and operations of our suppliers and customers. To the extent the war in Ukraine may adversely affect our business, it may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks described in our risk factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, such as those relating to information technology and market conditions, any of which could negatively affect our business and financial condition.

~~Inflation and price volatility in the global economy could negatively impact our business and results of operations.~~

General inflation in the United States has risen to levels not experienced in recent decades, including rising energy prices, prices for consumer goods, interest rates, wages, and currency volatility and downgrades by rating agencies to the U.S. government’s credit rating or concerns about its credit and deficit levels in general, could cause interest rates and borrowing costs to rise. These increases and any fiscal or other policy interventions by the U.S. government in reaction to such events could negatively impact our business by increasing our operating costs and our borrowing costs as well as decreasing the capital. Although we have the ability to pass on these increased costs associated with providing services by adjusting room rates, the cost to operate and maintain the hotel properties could increase faster or at a rate greater than our ability to increase room rates, which could adversely affect our results of operations. Additionally, the U.S. government’s credit and deficit concerns, the European sovereign debt crisis, and the potential trade war with China, could cause interest rates to be volatile, which may negatively impact our ability to access the debt markets on favorable terms.

~~The use of business related technology could adversely affect travel and hotel demand.~~

The increased use of teleconference and video-conference technology by businesses could result in decreased business travel as companies increase the use of technologies that allow multiple parties from different locations to participate in meetings without traveling to a centralized meeting location. To the extent that such technologies play an increased role in day-to-day business and the necessity for business related travel decreases, hotel room demand may decrease.

~~Other than as described above, there~~There have been no material changes to the Risk Factors previously disclosed in Item 1A in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2021.~~2022.
