RYMAN HOSPITALITY PROPERTIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

On January 1, 2013, Ryman Hospitality Properties, Inc. (“Ryman”) and its subsidiaries (collectively with Ryman, the “Company”) began operating as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for federal income tax purposes, specializing in group-oriented, destination hotel assets in urban and resort markets. The Company’s owned assets include a network of upscale, meetings-focused resorts that are managed by Marriott International, Inc. (“Marriott”) under the Gaylord Hotels brand. These resorts, which the Company refers to as the Gaylord Hotels properties, consist of the Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center in Nashville, Tennessee (“Gaylord Opryland”), the Gaylord Palms Resort & Convention Center near Orlando, Florida (“Gaylord Palms”), the Gaylord Texan Resort & Convention Center near Dallas, Texas (“Gaylord Texan”) and, the Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center near Washington D.C. (“Gaylord National”)., and the Gaylord Rockies Resort & Convention Center near Denver, Colorado (“Gaylord Rockies”), which prior to May 2021 was owned by a joint venture (the “Gaylord Rockies joint venture”) in which the Company owned a 65% interest. The Company’s other owned hotel assets managed by Marriott include Gaylord Springs Golf Links (“Gaylord Springs”), the Wildhorse Saloon, the General Jackson Showboat (“General Jackson”), the Inn at Opryland, an overflow hotel adjacent to Gaylord Opryland, and the AC Hotel at National Harbor, Washington D.C. (“AC Hotel”), an overflow hotel adjacent to Gaylord National.

In April 2021, the Company entered into an agreement with RIDA Development Corporation to acquire the remaining 35% ownership interest in the Gaylord Rockies joint venture not previously owned by the Company for $188.0 million and approximately 130 acres of undeveloped, adjacent land for $22.0 million in cash (the “JV Purchase”). The JV Purchase closed in May 2021 and was funded through cash on hand and borrowings under the Company’s $700 million revolving credit facility. As discussed below, the Company consolidated the Gaylord Rockies joint venture both before and after the purchase in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

As further discussed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, for periods prior to its ownership of 100% ownership of the asset in May 2021, management concluded that the Company was the primary beneficiary of the Gaylord Rockies joint venture, which was a variable interest entity (“VIE”). As such, the Company consolidated the assets, liabilities and results of operations of the Gaylord Rockies joint venture in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. The portion of the Gaylord Rockies joint venture that the Company did not previously own was recorded as noncontrolling interest in consolidated joint venture in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet, and any previous adjustment necessary to reflect the noncontrolling interest at its redemption value is shown in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of equity. As the Gaylord Rockies joint venture is wholly-owned by the Company as of May 2021, it is no longer considered as a VIE.

The Company also owns and operatesa business holding a number of media and entertainment assets, includingknown as the Opry Entertainment Group, reported as the Company’s Entertainment segment. These assets include the Grand Ole Opry, the legendary weekly showcase of country music’s finest performers; the Ryman Auditorium, the storied live music venue and former home of the Grand Ole Opry; andWSM-AM, the Opry’s radio home.home; Ole Red, a brand of Blake Shelton-themed bar, music venue and event spaces; 2 Nashville-based assets managed by Marriott – the Wildhorse Saloon and the General Jackson Showboat; and as of May 31, 2022, Block 21, a mixed-use entertainment, lodging, office, and retail complex located in Austin, Texas (“Block 21”). The Company also owns a 50% interest in a joint venture that creates and distributes a linear multicast and over-the-top channel dedicated to the country music lifestyle (“Circle”), which launched its broadcast network on January 1, 2020. Beginning June 16, 2022, the Company owns 70% of Opry Entertainment Group. See Note 2, “OEG Transaction,” Note 3, “Block 21 Transaction,” and Note 15, “Commitments and Contingencies,” to the condensed consolidated financial statements included herein for further disclosure.

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Ryman and its subsidiaries and have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted from this report pursuant to such rules and regulations. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction

7

with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.2021. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the results of operations for the interim periods have been included. All adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature. The results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year because of seasonal and short-term variations.

The Company conducts its business through an umbrella partnership REIT, in which substantially all of its assets are held by, and all of its operations are conducted through, RHP Hotel Properties, LP, a subsidiary operating partnership (the “Operating Partnership”) that the Company formed in connection with its REIT conversion. Ryman is the sole limited partner of the Operating Partnership and currently owns, either directly or indirectly, all of the partnership units of the Operating Partnership. RHP Finance Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Finco”), was formed as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Operating Partnership for the sole purpose of being aco-issuer of debt securities with the Operating Partnership. Neither Ryman nor Finco has any material assets, other than Ryman’s investment in the Operating Partnership and its 100%-owned subsidiaries. As 100%-owned subsidiaries of Ryman, neither the Operating Partnership nor Finco has any business, operations, financial results or other material information, other than the business, operations, financial results and other material information described in this Quarterly Report on Form10-Q and Ryman’s other reports, documents or other information filed with the SEC pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

The Company principally operates, through its subsidiaries and its property managers, as applicable, in the following business segments: Hospitality, Entertainment, and Corporate and Other.

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic

The novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic has been and continues to be a complex and evolving situation, causing unprecedented levels of disruption to the Company’s business. Although the Company’s assets are currently open and operating without capacity restrictions and business levels continue to recover, there remains significant uncertainty surrounding the full extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s future results of operations and financial position.

All of the Company’s assets are open and have been operating throughout 2022. The majority of the Company’s businesses were open and operating throughout 2021. However, Gaylord National remained closed during the first half of 2021 and reopened July 1, 2021. The Grand Ole Opry and Ryman Auditorium reopened for limited-capacity publicly attended performances in September 2020, and reopened for full-capacity publicly attended performances in May 2021. In addition, subsequent to the December 2020 downtown Nashville bombing, the Wildhorse Saloon reopened in April 2021.

Throughout 2020 and 2021 and continuing to date, the Company has paid all required debt service payments on its indebtedness, lease payments, taxes and other payables. Beginning in July 2020 and continuing to date, Gaylord Rockies was in a cash sweep position pursuant to and as defined in the Gaylord Rockies $800 million term loan agreement.

At June 30, 2022, the Company had $689.6 million available for borrowing under its revolving credit facility, $65.0 million available for borrowing under the OEG revolving credit facility, and $179.2 million in unrestricted cash on hand. The Company’s quarterly dividend is currently suspended. The Company’s board of directors will consider a future dividend as permitted by the Company’s credit agreement, and any future dividend is subject to the Company’s board of directors’ determinations as to the amount of distributions and timing thereof.

Newly Issued Accounting Standards

In May 2014,March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform – Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”)No. 2014-09,Revenue from Contracts with CustomersReporting,” which provides temporary optional expedients and exceptions to the core principleexisting guidance on contract modifications and hedge accounting to ease the financial reporting burdens of the expected market transition from the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates, such as the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”). The guidance in ASU 2020-04 is optional, effective immediately, and may be elected over time as reference rate reform activities occur generally through December 31, 2022. During 2020, the Company elected to apply the hedge accounting expedients related to probability and the assessments of effectiveness for future LIBOR-indexed cash flows to assume that the index upon which future hedged transactions will be based matches the index on the corresponding derivatives. Application of these expedients preserves the presentation of derivatives consistent with past presentation. The Company continues to evaluate the impact of this guidance and may apply other elections as applicable as additional market changes occur.

2. OEG TRANSACTION:

On June 16, 2022, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries, including OEG Attractions Holdings, LLC (“OEG”), which directly or indirectly owns the assets that comprise the Company’s Entertainment segment, consummated the transactions pursuant to an investment agreement (the “Investment Agreement”) with Atairos Group, Inc. (“Atairos”) and A-OEG Holdings, LLC, an affiliate of Atairos (the “OEG Investor”), pursuant to which OEG issued and sold to the OEG Investor, and the OEG Investor acquired, 30% of the equity interests of OEG for approximately $296.0 million (the

8

“OEG Transaction”). The purchase price payable to the Company for the OEG Transaction may be increased by $30.0 million if OEG achieves certain financial objectives in 2023 or 2024.

The Company retains a controlling 70% equity interest in OEG and continues to consolidate the assets, liabilities and results of operations of OEG in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. The portion of OEG that the Company does not own is recorded as noncontrolling interest in consolidated joint venture, which is classified as mezzanine equity in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet, and any adjustment necessary to reflect the noncontrolling interest at its redemption value is shown in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of equity. After the payment of transaction expenses, the Company used substantially all of the net proceeds from the OEG Transaction, together with the net proceeds the Company received from the OEG Term Loan (as defined below), to repay the outstanding balance of the Company’s existing $300 million term loan A and to pay down substantially all borrowings outstanding under the Company’s revolving credit facility.

Pursuant to the Second Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement for OEG entered into at the closing of the OEG Transaction (the “OEG LLC Agreement”), OEG will be governed by a Board of Managers (the “Board”), subject to member consent to certain actions. The Board will initially consist of 6 members, 4 designated by the Company and 2 designated by the OEG Investor. Board membership may be modified from time to time to reflect the proportional ownership of outstanding units by each party. Subject to certain ownership thresholds, the approval of both parties will be required with respect to certain “major decisions” affecting OEG, including, but not limited to, approval of OEG’s annual operating budget in the event of changes exceeding certain thresholds, the incurrence of certain debt, the issuance of new equity securities, and mergers, acquisitions or dispositions in excess of a certain dollar threshold.

The OEG Investor will have the option to acquire additional common units of OEG from the Company (the “Purchase Option”) in each of the fourth quarters of 2023, 2024 and 2025 in an amount equal to the lesser of $125 million or the maximum amount of proceeds that the Company may receive with respect to its compliance with applicable REIT tests, provided that the OEG Investor may not purchase an amount of common units that would result in the Company owning less than 51% of the outstanding common units after giving effect to the purchase. If the OEG Investor elects to exercise the Purchase Option, then (i) beginning on June 19, 2027 (the fifth anniversary of the OEG Investor’s original investment in OEG (the “Fifth Anniversary”), the OEG Investor will have the right to demand that OEG undertake a companyQualified IPO and (ii) the OEG Investor’s rights with respect to the IPO Request Put Right, the Seven-Year Put Right, an IPO Payment and a Sale Payment, each as defined in the OEG LLC Agreement and described below, will recognize revenue when it transfers promisedexpire. The Purchase Option will terminate upon the occurrence of a Qualified IPO, a Sale of OEG or a Qualified Spinoff, each as defined in the OEG LLC Agreement.

IPO Request Put Right. If OEG has not completed a Qualified IPO prior to June 16, 2026 (the fourth anniversary of the OEG Investor’s original investment in OEG (the “Fourth Anniversary”)), the OEG Investor may request that OEG undertake a Qualified IPO. If the Company, through its subsidiary RHP Hotels, LLC (the “Ryman Member”), declines to undertake such Qualified IPO, the OEG Investor may cause the Ryman Member to acquire all of the OEG Investor’s interest in OEG at a price equal to 1.5 times the OEG Investor’s equity investment (the “IPO Request Put Price”).

Seven-Year Put Right. If OEG has not completed a Qualified IPO, Sale of OEG or a Qualified Spinoff prior to June 16, 2029 (the seventh anniversary of the OEG Investor’s original investment in OEG (the “Seventh Anniversary”)), the OEG Investor may cause the Ryman Member to acquire all of the OEG Investor’s interest in OEG at a price equal to the fair value of the OEG Investor’s equity interest (the “Seven-Year Put Price”).

The IPO Request Put Price and the Seven-Year Put Price may each be settled in either cash or Company stock, at the Company’s option, and the IPO Request Put Right and the Seven-Year Put Right will each terminate at the first closing of the Purchase Option.

IPO Payment. Upon a Qualified IPO that occurs on or before the Seventh Anniversary, the OEG Investor will be entitled to an IPO Payment if the Post IPO Investor Stake Value (as defined in OEG LLC Agreement) measured on the 120th trading day post-IPO does not equal or exceed the Minimum Investor Stake Value (as defined in the OEG LLC Agreement). If the IPO occurs after the Fourth Anniversary, the IPO Payment will be capped at 50% of the OEG

9

Investor’s investment in OEG (the “Payment Cap”). Any IPO Payment may be satisfied in either cash, OEG equity owned by the Ryman Member, or Company stock.

Sale Payment. Upon a sale of OEG (but excluding a Qualified Spinoff) that occurs on or before the Seventh Anniversary, the OEG Investor will be entitled to a Sale Payment if the value of the OEG Investor’s retained invested equity (implied by the sale) does not equal or exceed the Minimum Investor Sale Value (as defined in the OEG LLC Agreement). If a sale of OEG occurs after the Fifth Anniversary, any Sale Payment will be capped at the Payment Cap. Any Sale Payment may be satisfied in either cash, a preferential cash distribution, additional consideration in the Sale of OEG or Company stock.

The above descriptions related to the OEC LLC Agreement do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the OEG LLC Agreement filed as Exhibit 10.4 to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and incorporated herein by reference.

Also on June 16, 2022, OEG Borrower, LLC (“OEG Borrower”) and OEG Finance, LLC (“OEG Finance”), each a wholly owned direct or indirect subsidiary of OEG, entered into a credit agreement (the “OEG Credit Agreement”) among OEG Borrower, as borrower, OEG Finance, certain subsidiaries of OEG Borrower from time to time party thereto as guarantors, the lenders party thereto and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent. The OEG Credit Agreement provides for (i) a senior secured term loan facility in the aggregate principal amount of $300.0 million (the “OEG Term Loan”) and (ii) a senior secured revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $65.0 million (the “OEG Revolver”). The OEG Term Loan matures on June 16, 2029 and the OEG Revolver matures on June 16, 2027. The OEG Term Loan bears interest at a rate equal to either, at OEG Borrower’s election, (i) the Alternate Base Rate plus 4.00% or (b) Adjusted Term SOFR plus 5.00% (all as specifically more described in the OEG Credit Agreement). The OEG Revolver bears interest at a rate equal to either, at OEG Borrower’s election, (i) the Alternate Base Rate plus 3.75% or (b) Adjusted Term SOFR plus 4.75%, which shall be subject to reduction in the applicable margin based upon OEG’s First Lien Leverage Ratio (all as specifically more described in the OEG Credit Agreement). The OEG Term Loan and OEG Revolver are each secured by substantially all of the assets of OEG Finance and each of its subsidiaries (other than Block 21 and Circle, as more specifically described in the OEG Credit Agreement). NaN revolving credit advances were made under the OEG Revolver at closing.

3. BLOCK 21 TRANSACTION:

On May 31, 2022, the Company purchased Block 21 for a stated purchase price of $260 million, as subsequently adjusted to $255 million pursuant to the terms of the purchase agreement, which includes the assumption of approximately $136 million of existing mortgage debt. Block 21 is the home of the Austin City Limits Live at The Moody Theater (“ACL Live”), a 2,750-seat entertainment venue that serves as the filming location for the Austin City Limits television series. The Block 21 complex also includes the 251-room W Austin Hotel, which Marriott manages, the 3TEN at ACL Live club and approximately 53,000 square feet of other Class A commercial space. The Company funded the cash portion of the purchase price with cash on hand and borrowings under its revolving credit facility. The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination, given the different nature of the principal operations acquired (a hotel and an entertainment venue). Block 21 assets are reflected in the Company’s Entertainment segment as of May 31, 2022.

The Company performed a preliminary valuation of the fair value of the acquired assets and liabilities as of May 31, 2022. The valuations of the various components of property and equipment were determined principally based on the cost approach, which uses assumptions regarding replacement values from established indices. The valuation of intangible assets was based on various methods to evaluate the values of leases in place and advanced bookings previously received for the hotel. The valuation of assumed debt was principally based on a discounted cash flow approach using market interest rates at the time of the transaction. The Company considers each of these estimates as Level 3 fair value measurements. Other acquired assets were valued at carrying value. Based on the aggregation of fair values as compared to consideration transferred, the Company concluded that there was no goodwill or bargain purchase gain related to the business combination. The Company preformed an income approach evaluation of the acquired set which corroborated the conclusion that there was no goodwill related to the acquisition. Such evaluation included

10

assumptions of future projected cash flows, which was based on the future projected occupancy and average daily rate for the W Hotel Austin, future anticipated cash flows at ACL Live, and market discount rates.

Utilizing the valuation, the Company performed a purchase price allocation for the acquired assets and liabilities of Block 21. As a result, the Company preliminarily allocated the purchase price, adjusted for working capital adjustments as defined in the purchase agreement, in the Company’s balance sheet at May 31, 2022 as follows (amounts in thousands):

The estimated fair values for the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are preliminary and are subject to change during the one-year measurement period as additional information related to the inputs and assumptions used in determining the fair value of the assets and liabilities becomes available. The Company will continue to review the underlying inputs and assumptions. Therefore, the purchase price allocation is not yet complete as of the date of this filing. Once the allocation is complete, an additional adjustment to the allocation may occur.

The Company incurred $1.2 million and $1.3 million in acquisition-related expenses in the three months and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, which are included in entertainment expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations.

4. REVENUES:

The ASUcontent provided to Circle is effectiveeliminated for the Company in the first quarterportion of 2018, andCircle that the Company plans to adopt this standard at that time using the modified retrospective approach. The Company has completed a revenue stream scoping process and has made significant progress toward completing its assessment of how the new ASU will impact the amount and timing of the various revenue streams recorded in its financial statements. While the Company is still finalizing the assessment in conjunction with Marriott, due to the short-term,day-to-day natureowns. Almost all of the Company’s hospitalityrevenues are either cash-based or, for meeting and entertainment segment revenues, the pattern of revenue recognition is not expected to change significantly.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASUNo. 2016-02,Leases,” that requires lessees to put most leases on their balance sheet, but recognize expenses on their income statements in a manner similar to previous accounting. The ASU also eliminates the required use of bright-line tests for determining lease classification. The ASU is effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2019 and requires a modified retrospective approach, with restatement of prior periods. The primary impact of the adoption will be the inclusion of the Company’s75-year ground lease at Gaylord Palms on its balance sheet. See Note 12 inconvention groups who meet the Company’s Annual Reportcredit criteria, billed and collected on Form10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 for a further disclosure of the Company’s outstanding leases.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASUNo. 2016-13,Financial Instruments – Credit Losses – Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,” which will change how entities measure credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that are not measured at fair value through net income. The ASU will replace the current “incurred loss” approach with an “expected loss” model for instruments measured at amortized cost. For trade and othershort-term receivablesheld-to-maturity debt securities, loans and other instruments, entities will be required to use a new forward-looking “expected loss” model that generally will result in the earlier recognition of allowances for losses.

For each of the three months and six months ended June 30, 2021, the effect of dilutive stock-based compensation was the equivalent of 0.1 million shares of common stock outstanding. Because the Company had a loss available to common stockholders in the three months and six months ended June 30, 2021, these incremental shares were excluded from the computation of dilutive earnings per share as the effect of their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

As more fully discussed in Note 2, “OEG Transaction,” the OEG Investor will have certain put rights to require the Company to purchase its equity interest in OEG, which the Company may pay in cash or Company stock, at the Company’s option. The Company calculated potential dilution for the put rights based on the if-converted method, which assumes the put rights were converted on the first day of the period or the date of issuance. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, the effect of these put rights was the equivalent of 0.3 million shares of Company common stock outstanding. Because these put rights were anti-dilutive for the six months ended June 30, 2022, these incremental shares were excluded from the computation of dilutive earnings per share.

The operating partnership units (“OP Units”) held by the noncontrolling interest holders in the Operating Partnership have been excluded from the denominator of the diluted income (loss) per share calculation for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 as there would be no effect on the calculation of diluted income (loss) per share because the income (loss) attributable to the OP Units held by the noncontrolling interest holders would also be subtracted to derive net income (loss) available to common stockholders.

In June 2017, the Company entered into an agreement with the Industrial Development Board of the Metropolitan Government of Nashville and Davidson County (the “Board”) to implement a tax abatement plan related to Gaylord Opryland. The tax abatement plan provides for the capping of real property taxes for a period of eight years by legally transferring title to the Gaylord Opryland real property to the Board. The Board financed the acquisition of the Gaylord Opryland real property by issuing a $650 million industrial revenue bond to the Company. The Board then leased this property back to the Company. The Company is obligated to make lease payments equal to the debt service on the industrial revenue bond. No cash was exchanged and no cash will be exchanged in connection with the Company’s lease payments under the lease. The tax abatement period extends through the term of the lease, which coincides with the nine-year maturity of the bond. At any time, the Company has the option to repurchase the real property at a de minimis amount.

Due to the form of these transactions, the Company has not recorded the bond or the lease obligation associated with the sale lease-back transaction, and the cost of the Gaylord Opryland real property remains recorded on the balance sheet and is being depreciated over its estimated useful life.

5.8. NOTES RECEIVABLE:

As further discussed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016,2021, in connection with the development of Gaylord National, the Company is currently holdingholds two issuances of governmental bonds (“Series A bond” and “Series B bond”) with a total carrying value and approximate fair value of $68.9 million and $71.2 million at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, net of credit loss reserve of $38.0 million at each of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. The Company receives debt service and principal payments thereon, payable from property tax increments, hotel taxes and special hotel rental taxes generated from Gaylord National through the maturity date.dates of July 1, 2034 and September 1, 2037, respectively. The Company is recording the amortization of discount on these notes receivable asrecords interest income over the life of the notes.notes using the effective interest method.

The Company has the intent and ability to hold these bonds to maturity. The Company’s quarterly assessment of credit losses considers the estimate of projected tax revenues that will service the bonds over their remaining terms. These tax revenue projections are updated each quarter to reflect updated industry projections as to future anticipated operations of the hotel. As a result of reduced tax revenue projections over the remaining life of the bonds, the Series B bond is fully reserved. The Series A bond is of higher priority than other tranches which fall between the Company’s two issuances.

The hotel will be managed by Marriott pursuant to a long-term management contract and is expected to consist of a1,500-room resort hotel with over 485,000 square feet of exhibition, meeting,pre-function and outdoor space.

The Company also owns a 35% interest in a limited liability company which will lease the hotel from the property owner and assume the Marriott management agreement prior to the opening of the hotel.

A subsidiary of the Company is providing designated asset management services on behalf of the hotel during the construction period in exchange for a flat fee and after opening of the hotel in exchange for a fee based on the hotel’s gross revenues on an annual basis.

In connection with the agreements, the Company agreed to provide guarantees of the hotel’s construction loan, including a principal repayment guarantee of up to $21 million of the total $500 million principal amount of the construction loan previously obtained from a consortium of eight banks, with such amount reducing to $14 million and further reducing to $8.75 million upon the hotel’s satisfaction of designated debt service coverage requirements following completion and opening of the hotel. The Company has also provided a completion guarantee under the construction loan capped at its pro rata share of all costs necessary to complete the project within the time specified in the joint venture’s loan documents. Further, the Company has agreed to a guarantee capped at its pro rata share of the joint venture’s obligations under the construction loan prior to the hotel’s opening related to interest accruing under the construction loan and the operating expenses of the property (estimated pro rata share of interest prior to the hotel opening is $9.8 million).

The guarantee related to the mezzanine debt also includes an uncapped completion guarantee and an uncapped guarantee of the joint venture’s obligations under the mezzanine loan prior to the hotel’s opening related to interest accruing under the mezzanine loan and the operating expenses of the property to the extent not already satisfied by the parties under the guarantees related to the construction loan.

The Company does not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes and currently does not hold any derivatives that are not designated as hedges.

On October 1, 2012, the Company consummated its agreement to sell the Gaylord Hotels brand and rights to manage the Gaylord Opryland, Gaylord Palms, Gaylord Texan and Gaylord NationalHotels properties (the “Management Rights”) to Marriott for $210.0 million in cash. Effective October 1, 2012, Marriott assumed responsibility for managing theday-to-day operations of the Gaylord Hotels properties pursuant to a management agreement for each Gaylord Hotel property.

On October 1, 2012, the Company received $210.0 million in cash from Marriott in exchange for rights to manage the Gaylord Hotels properties (the “Management Rights”) and certain intellectual property (the “IP Rights”). The Company allocated $190.0 million of the purchase price to the Management Rights, and $20.0 million to the IP Rights. The allocation was based on the Company’s estimates of the fair values for the respective components. The Company estimated the fair value of each component by constructing distinct discounted cash flow models.

For financial accounting purposes, the amount related to the Management Rights was deferred and is amortized on a straight linestraight-line basis over the65-year term of the hotel management agreements, including extensions, as a reduction in management fee expense.

The terms of the Gaylord Palms lease include variable lease payments based upon net revenues at Gaylord Palms and certain other of the Company’s leases include rental payments adjusted periodically for inflation. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

As the discount rate implicit in the Company’s operating leases is not readily determinable, the Company applies judgments related to the IP Rights was recognized into incomedetermination of the discount rates used to calculate the lease liability as other gainsrequired by Accounting Standards Codification Topic 842, “Leases”. The Company calculates its incremental borrowing rates by utilizing judgments and losses duringestimates regarding the fourth quarter of 2012.Company’s secured borrowing rates, market credit rating, comparable bond yield curve, and adjustments to market yield curves to determine a securitized rate.

The Company uses a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers include: Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.

At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016,The investments held by the Company held certain assets that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis. These included investments held in conjunctionconnection with the Company’snon-qualified contributoryits deferred compensation plan. These investmentsplan consist of mutual funds traded in an active market. The Company determined the fair value of these mutual funds based on the net asset value per unit of the funds or the portfolio, which is based upon quoted market prices in an active market. Therefore, the Company has categorized these investments as Level 1.

The Company’s interest rate swaps consist of over-the-counter swap contracts, which are not traded on a public exchange. The Company determines the fair value of these swap contracts based on a widely accepted valuation methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash flows and the discounted expected variable cash flows, using interest rates derived from observable market interest rate curves and volatilities, with appropriate adjustments for any significant impact of non-performance risk of the parties to the swap contracts. Therefore, these swap contracts have been classified as Level 2.

The Company has consistently applied the above valuation techniques in all periods presented and believes it has obtained the most accurate information available for each type of instrument.

The Company had no liabilities required to be measured at fair value at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016. The Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at SeptemberJune 30, 20172022 and December 31, 2016,2021, were as follows (in thousands):

The remainder of the assets and liabilities held by the Company at SeptemberJune 30, 20172022 are not required to be recorded at fair value. Thevalue, and the carrying value of certain of these assets and liabilities do not approximateapproximates fair value, except as described below.

As further discussedThe Company has outstanding $600.0 million in aggregate principal amount of $600 million 4.50% senior notes. The carrying value of these notes at June 30, 2022 was $591.2 million, net of unamortized deferred financing costs (“DFCs”). The fair value of these notes, based upon quoted market prices (Level 1), was $509.0 million at June 30, 2022.

The Company has outstanding $700.0 million in aggregate principal amount of $700 million 4.75% senior notes. The carrying value of these notes at June 30, 2022 was $693.1 million, net of unamortized DFCs and premiums. The fair value of these notes, based upon quoted market prices (Level 1), was $621.9 million at June 30, 2022.

21

See Note 5 and in the Company’s Annual Report on Form10-K3, “Block 21 Transaction,” for the year ended December 31, 2016, in connection with the development of Gaylord National, the Company received two bonds (“Series A Bond” and “Series B Bond”) from Prince George’s County, Maryland which had aggregate carrying values of $78.7 million and $71.8 million, respectively, at September 30, 2017. The maturity dates of the Series A Bond and the Series B Bond are July 1, 2034 and September 1, 2037, respectively. Based upon current market interest rates of notes receivable with comparable market ratings and current expectations about the timing of debt service payments under the notes, which the Company considers as Level 3,additional disclosures related to the fair value measurements used in accounting for the purchase of the Series A Bond, which has the senior claim to the cash flows supporting these bonds, approximated carrying value at September 30, 2017 and the fair value of the Series B Bond was approximately $54 million at September 30, 2017. While the fair value of the Series B Bond decreased to less than its carrying value during 2011 due to a change in the timing of the debt service payments, the Company has the intent and ability to hold this bond to maturity and expects to receive all debt service payments due under the note. Therefore, the Company does not consider the Series B Bond to be other than temporarily impaired at September 30, 2017.Block 21.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

Ryman Hospitality Properties, Inc. (“Ryman”) is a Delaware corporation that conducts its operations so as to maintain its qualification as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for federal income tax purposes. The Company conducts its business through an umbrella partnership REIT, in which substantially all of its assets are held by, and operations are conducted through, RHP Hotel Properties, LP, a subsidiary operating partnership (the “Operating Partnership”). RHP Finance Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Finco”), was formed as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Operating Partnership for the sole purpose of being aco-issuer of debt securities with the Operating Partnership. Neither Ryman nor Finco has any material assets, other than Ryman’s investment in the Operating Partnership and its 100%-ownedthe Operating Partnership’s owned subsidiaries. As 100%-owned subsidiaries of Ryman, neitherNeither the Operating Partnership nor Finco has any business, operations, financial results or other material information, other than the business, operations, financial results and other material information described in this Quarterly Report on Form10-Q and Ryman’s other reports, documents or other information filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

Overview

We operate as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, specializing in group-oriented, destination hotel assets in urban and resort markets. Our owned assetscore holdings include a network of fourfive upscale, meetings-focused resorts totaling 7,8119,917 rooms that are managed by Marriott under the Gaylord Hotels brand. These fourfive resorts, which we refer to as our Gaylord Hotels properties, consist of the Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center in Nashville, Tennessee (“Gaylord Opryland”), the Gaylord Palms Resort & Convention Center near Orlando, Florida (“Gaylord Palms”), the Gaylord Texan Resort & Convention Center near Dallas, Texas (“Gaylord Texan”) and, the Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center near Washington D.C. (“Gaylord National”)., and the Gaylord Rockies Resort & Convention Center (“Gaylord Rockies”), which was previously owned by a joint venture (the “Gaylord Rockies joint venture”), in which we owned a 65% interest. On May 7, 2021, we purchased the remaining 35% interest in the Gaylord Rockies joint venture. Our other owned hotel assets managed by Marriott include Gaylord Springs Golf Links (“Gaylord Springs”), the Wildhorse Saloon, the General Jackson Showboat (“General Jackson”), the Inn at Opryland, a303-rooman overflow hotel adjacent to Gaylord Opryland, and the AC Hotel at National Harbor, Washington D.C. (“AC Hotel”), a192-rooman overflow hotel adjacent to Gaylord National.

We also own and operate media and entertainment assets including the Grand Ole Opry, the legendary weekly showcase of country music’s finest performers for over 9096 years; the Ryman Auditorium, the storied live music venue and former home of the Grand Ole Opry located in downtown Nashville; andWSM-AM, the Opry’s radio home.home; Ole Red, a brand of Blake Shelton-themed bar, music venue and event spaces; two Nashville-based assets managed by Marriott – the Wildhorse Saloon and the General Jackson Showboat; and as of May 31, 2022, Block 21, a mixed-use entertainment, lodging, office, and retail complex located in Austin, Texas (“Block 21”). We also own a 50% interest in a joint venture that creates and distributes a linear multicast and over-the-top channel dedicated to the country music lifestyle (“Circle”). See “OEG Transaction” below for additional disclosure regarding our sale of a 30% interest in the business effective June 16, 2022.

Each of our award-winning Gaylord Hotels properties incorporates not only high quality lodging, but also at least 400,000 square feet of meeting, convention and exhibition space, superb food and beverage options and retail and spa facilities within a single self-contained property. As a result, our Gaylord Hotels properties provide a convenient and entertaining environment for convention guests. Our Gaylord Hotels properties focus on the large group meetings market in the United States.

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic

The COVID-19 pandemic has been and continues to be a complex and evolving situation, causing unprecedented levels of disruption of our business. Although our assets are currently open and operating without capacity restrictions and business levels continue to recover, there remains significant uncertainty surrounding the full extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our future results of operations and financial position.

The majority of our businesses have been open and operating throughout 2021 and 2022. However, Gaylord Rockies Resort & Convention CenterNational remained closed during the first half of 2021 and reopened July 1, 2021. The Grand Ole Opry and Ryman Auditorium reopened for full-capacity publicly attended performances in May 2021. In addition, subsequent to the December 2020 downtown Nashville bombing, the Wildhorse saloon reopened in April 2021.

Cancelled room nights in the six months ended June 30, 2022 decreased 49% from the six months ended June 30, 2021. Occupancy and average daily rate (“ADR”) increased 35.4 points of occupancy and 17.4%, respectively, in the six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to the same period in 2021. Outside-the-room spend in the six months ended June 30, 2022 increased 246.8% compared to the same period in 2021.

Group stays have steadily increased in 2021 and 2022 and group nights on the books at June 30, 2022 for the next five years is approximately 98% of total group room nights that were on the books at June 30, 2019 for the corresponding following five years. In addition, the ADR of group room nights on the books at June 30, 2022 is almost 8% higher than the ADR of the corresponding group room nights at June 30, 2019.

Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, we have continued to pay all required debt service payments on our indebtedness, lease payments, taxes and other payables. At June 30, 2022, we had $754.6 million available for borrowing under our revolving credit facility and the OEG revolving credit facility and $179.2 million in unrestricted cash on hand. Our regular quarterly dividend is currently suspended. Our board of directors will consider a future dividend as permitted by our credit agreement and subject to our board of directors’ determinations as to the amount of distributions and the timing thereof.

Our Long-Term Strategic Plan

Our goal is to becomebe the nation’s premier hospitality REIT for group-oriented meeting hotel assets in urban and resort markets.

Existing Hotel Property Design. Our hotelGaylord Hotels properties focus on the large group meetings market in the United States and incorporate meeting and exhibition space, signature guest rooms, food and beverage offerings, fitness and spa facilities and other attractions within a large hotel property so attendees’ needs are met in one location. This strategy creates a better experience for both meeting planners and guests and has led to our current hotelGaylord Hotels properties claiming a place among the leading convention hotels in the country.

Expansion of Hotel Asset Portfolio. While our short-term capital allocation strategy has focused on returning capital to stockholders, partPart of our long-term growth strategy includes acquisitions or developments of other hotels, particularly in the group meetings sector of the hospitality industry, either alone or through joint ventures or

alliances with one or more third parties. We intend to pursuewill consider attractive investment opportunities which meet our acquisition parameters, specifically, group-oriented large hotels and overflow hotels with existing or potential leisure appeal. We are generally interested in highly accessible upper-upscale or luxury assets with over 400 hotel rooms in urban and resort group destination markets. We also consider assets that possess significant meeting space or are located near convention centers that present a repositioning opportunity and/or would significantly benefit from capital investment in additional rooms or meeting space. We plan to expand the geographic diversity of our existing asset portfolio through acquisitions. As a REIT, we do not view independent, large-scale development of resort

Continued Investment in Our Existing Properties. We continuously evaluate and convention hotelsinvest in our current portfolio, and consider enhancements or expansions as a part of our long-term growth strategy.strategic plan. In 2021, we completed our $158 million expansion of Gaylord Palms and we also completed our renovation of all of the guestrooms at Gaylord National. In 2022, we began a re-concepting of the food and beverage options at Gaylord National and have begun enhancements at Gaylord Rockies to better position the property for our group customers.

Leverage Brand Name Awareness. We believe the Grand Ole Opry is one of the most recognized entertainment brands in the United States. We promote the Grand Ole Opry name through various media, including ourWSM-AM radio station, the Internet and television, and through performances by the Grand Ole Opry’s members, many of whom are renowned country music artists. As such, we have alliances in place with multiple distribution partners in an effort to foster brand extension. We believe that licensing our brand for products may provide an opportunity to increase revenues and cash flow with relatively little capital investment. We are continuously exploring additional products, such as television specials and retail products, through which we can capitalize on our brand affinity and awareness. We believe that licensing our brand for products may provide an opportunity to increase revenues and cash flow with relatively little capital investment. To this end, we are investinghave invested in the Opry City Stage, a joint venture to open a four-level entertainment complex in Times Square,six Ole Red locations, as well as Circle, and purchased Block 21. Further, as discussed above, we recently completed the OEG Transaction, which we believe will expand the distribution of our OEG brands.

Short-Term Capital Allocation. Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, our short-term capital allocation strategy focused on returning capital to stockholders through the payment of dividends, in addition to investing in our assets and operations. However, in March 2020, we suspended our regular quarterly dividend payments. Our board of directors will consider a Company-owned, Blake Shelton-themed five-level bar, music venuefuture dividend as permitted by our credit agreement. Any future dividend is subject to our board of directors’ determinations as to the amount and event space in Nashville named after the Shelton hit “Ole Red.”timing thereof.

Key Performance Indicators

The operating results of our Hospitality segment are highly dependent on the volume of customers at our hotels and the quality of the customer mix at our hotels, which are managed by Marriott. These factors impact the price that Marriott can charge for our hotel rooms and other amenities, such as food and beverage and meeting space. The following key

27

performance indicators are commonly used in the hospitality REIT industry:

industry and are used by management to evaluate hotel occupancy – a volume indicator;

performance and allocate capital expenditures:

hotel occupancy – a volume indicator calculated by dividing total rooms sold by total rooms available;
average daily rate (“ADR”) – a price indicator calculated by dividing room revenue by the number of rooms sold;
revenue per available room (“RevPAR”) – a price indicator calculated by dividing room revenue by the number of rooms sold;

Revenue per Available Room (“RevPAR”) –a summary measure of hotel results calculated by dividing room revenue by room nights available to guests for the period;
total revenue per available room (“Total RevPAR”) – a summary measure of hotel results calculated by dividing the sum of room, food and beverage and other ancillary service revenue by room nights available to guests for the period; and
net definite group room nights booked – a volume indicator which represents the total number of definite group bookings for future room nights at our hotels confirmed during the applicable period, net of cancellations.

For the three months and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, the method of calculation of these indicators has not been changed as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and the Gaylord National closure and is consistent with historical periods. As such, performance metrics include closed hotel room nights available to guestsavailable.

We also use certain “non-GAAP financial measures,” which are measures of our historical performance that are not calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, within the meaning of applicable SEC rules. These measures include:

Earnings Before Interest Expense, Income Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization for Real Estate (“EBITDAre”), Adjusted EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre, Excluding Noncontrolling Interest in Consolidated Joint Venture, and
Funds From Operations (“FFO”) available to common shareholders and unit holders and Adjusted FFO available to common shareholders and unitholders.

See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below for further discussion.

The closure and pandemic-constrained business levels of our Gaylord Hotels properties have resulted in the significant decrease in performance reflected in these key performance indicators and non-GAAP financial measures for the period;

Total Revenue per Available Room (“Total RevPAR”) – a summary measure of hotel results calculated by dividingthree months and six months ended June 30, 2021, as compared to the sum of room, foodcurrent period and beverage and other ancillary service revenue by room nights availablehistorical periods prior to guests for the period; and

Net Definite Group Room Nights Booked – a volume indicator which represents, on an aggregate basis, the total number of definite group bookings for future room nights at our hotel properties confirmed during the applicable period, net of cancellations.

Hospitality segment revenue from our occupied hotel rooms is recognized as earned on the close of business each day and from concessions and food and beverage sales at the time of sale. Cancellation fees, as well as attrition fees that are charged to groups when they do not fulfill the minimum number of room nights or minimum food and beverage spending requirements originally contracted for, are recognized as revenue in the period they are collected. Almost all of our Hospitality segment revenues are either cash-based or, for meeting and convention groups meeting credit criteria, billed and collected on a short-term receivables basis. The hospitality industry is capital intensive, and we rely on the ability of our hotels to generate operating cash flow to repay debt financing and fund maintenance capital expenditures.2020.

The results of operations of our Hospitality segment are affected by the number and type of group meetings and conventions scheduled to attend our hotels in a given period. A variety of factors can affect the results of any interim period, including the nature and quality of the group meetings and conventions attending our hotels during such period, which meetings and conventions (and applicable room rates) have often been contracted for several years in advance, the level of attrition our hotels experience, and the level of transient business at our hotels during such period. Increases in costs, including labor costs, costs of food and other supplies, and energy costs can negatively affect our results, particularly during an inflationary economic environment. We rely on Marriott, as the manager of our hotels, to manage these factors and to offset any identified shortfalls in occupancy.

Total Revenues

The increase in our total revenues for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2022, as compared to the same period in 2016,2021, is attributable to an increase in our Entertainment segment revenues of $10.5 million, partially offset by a decreaseincreases in our Hospitality segment revenuesand Entertainment segment of $0.4$457.4 million each as discussed more fully below.and $56.9 million, respectively.

Total Operating Expenses

Factors and Trends Contributing to Performance

The most important factors and trends contributing to our performance during the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2017 described herein were:

Decreasedoutside-the-room spending at Gaylord Palms during the 2017 periods, as compared to the 2016 periods (a decrease of 18.7% and 7.4%, respectively), primarily due to the impacts of Hurricane Irma during September 2017. The nine-month 2017 decrease was partially offset by an increase in ADR during the 2017 period (an increase of 5.6%), due to an increase in both group and transient rates.

Decreasedoutside-the-room spending at Gaylord Opryland during the 2017 periods, as compared to the 2016 periods (a decrease of 9.4% and 1.8%, respectively), primarily due to a decrease in banquets, as well as a decrease in attrition and cancellation fee collections.

Decreased occupancy at Gaylord Texan during the 2017 periods, as compared to the 2016 periods (a decrease of 7.0 and 2.6 points of occupancy, respectively), due primarily to a decrease in groups.

Increased occupancy andoutside-the-room spending at Gaylord National during the nine-month 2017 period, as compared to the nine-month 2016 period. The increase in occupancy (an increase of 5.3 points of occupancy) is primarily the result of an increase in groups. The increase inoutside-the-room spending (an increase of 3.1%) is primarily attributable to an increase in banquets, including inauguration-related banquets.

Increased revenue for our Entertainment segment during the 2017 periods, as compared to the 2016 periods (an increase of 14.4% and 12.9%, respectively), due primarily to increased shows, attendance and ancillary business, such as tours and retail, at the Grand Ole Opry and Ryman Auditorium, and increased revenues at the Wildhorse Saloon, due primarily to increased business attributable to the achieved benefits of a 2016 renovation.

Increased attrition levels for the three-month 2017 period, as compared to the three-month 2016 period. Attrition for the three-month 2017 period was 15.5%, compared to 13.4% in the three-month 2016 period. The primary driver for this increase was Hurricane Irma and its impact on Gaylord Palms.

Decreased net definite group room nights booked during the 2017 periods, as compared to the 2016 periods (a decrease of 3.9% and 5.7%, respectively). The three-month 2017 decrease was primarily the result of the current period impact of Hurricane Irma on Gaylord Palms. The nine-month decrease was primarily the current period result of Hurricane Irma, as well as the future cancellation of an individual group that had booked 17 different meetings through 2025.

Property-Level Results.The following presents the property-level financial results of our Hospitality segment for the three months and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20172022 and 2016.2021. The Gaylord Hotels properties experienced higher levels of attrition and cancellations and lower occupancy levels, which are directly related to the COVID-19 pandemic, in the three months and six months ended June 30, 2021. Therefore, the property-level financial results for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2021 are not comparable to historical periods or the 2022 periods. Total revenue at each of our Gaylord Hotels properties was lower than that of historical periods for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Operating costs at each of our Gaylord Hotels properties were lower for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2021 as a result of cost containment initiatives and lower variable costs due to lower occupancies due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Rooms revenue and RevPAR were negatively impacted during the 2017 periods by a rooms renovation project, which resulted in approximately 12,250 and 49,300 room nights out of service, respectively. The rooms renovation project was completed in September 2017. In addition, the three- and nine-month 2016 periods were also negatively impacted by a separate rooms renovation project that resulted in approximately 19,700 and 28,300 room nights out of service during the three-month and nine-month periods, respectively. Rooms expenses remained stable during the 2017 periods, as compared to the same periods in 2016.Contents

The increase in group occupancy in the nine-month 2017 period, as compared to 2016, was partially attributed to a large winter storm during the first quarter of 2016 that caused a decrease in 2016 occupancy. Rooms expenses decreased at Gaylord National during the three-month 2017 period, as compared to the same period in 2016, primarily due to a decrease in commission cost. Rooms expenses at Gaylord National increased during the nine-month 2017 period, as compared to the same period in 2016, primarily due to the increase in variable costs associated with the increase in occupancy.follows (in thousands, except percentages and performance metrics):

Food and beverage revenue decreased at Gaylord National during the three months ended September 30, 2017, as compared to the same period in 2016, primarily as a result of a decrease in banquets. Food and beverage revenue increased at Gaylord National during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, as compared to the same period in 2016, primarily as a result of an increase in banquets, including inauguration-related banquets. Food and beverage expenses decreased in the three-month 2017 period, and increased in the nine-month 2017 period, as compared to the same periods in 2016, primarily due to the change in variable costs associated with the change in revenue.

Other hotel revenue decreased during the three months ended September 30, 2017, as compared to the same period in 2016, primarily due to a decrease in attrition and cancellation fee collections, partially offset by an increase in ancillary revenue, such as parking and resort fees, associated with the increase in occupancy. Other hotel revenue increased during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, as compared to the same period in 2016, primarily due to an increase in ancillary revenue, partially offset by a decrease in attrition and cancellation fee collections. Other hotel expenses remained stable in the 2017 periods, as compared to the same periods in 2016.

Depreciation and amortization at Gaylord National increased during the three months ended September 30, 2017, as compared to the same period in 2016, primarily due to the completion of a new riverfront ballroom in 2017, and the resulting increase in depreciable asset levels. Depreciation and amortization decreased during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, as compared to the same period in 2016, primarily due to the increased depreciation as a result of the riverfront ballroom being offset by a portion of the initial furniture, fixtures and equipment placed in service at the property’s opening in 2008 becoming fully depreciated during 2016.

Entertainment Segment

Total Segment Results.Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we temporarily closed our Entertainment segment assets in mid-March 2020 and they did not return to full capacity until May 2021. In addition, subsequent to the December 2020 downtown Nashville bombing, the Wildhorse Saloon reopened in April 2021. Therefore, Entertainment segment financial results for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2022 are not comparable to the corresponding 2021 period and the results for 2021 are not comparable to historical periods because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Interest Income

Interest income for the three months and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20172022 and 20162021 primarily includes amounts earned on the bonds that were received in connection with the development of Gaylord National, which we hold as notes receivable. See Note 8, “Notes Receivable,” to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements included herein for additional discussion of interest income on these bonds.

Loss on Extinguishment of Debt

As a result of our repayment of our $300 million term loan A with the proceeds from the OEG Term Loan, we recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt of $1.5 million in the three months and six months ended June 30, 2022.

In February 2021, we commenced a cash tender offer for any and all outstanding $400 million 5% senior notes due 2023 (“$400 Million 5% Senior Notes”) at a redemption price of $1,005.00 per $1,000 principal amount. Pursuant to the tender offer, $161.9 million aggregate principal amount of these notes were validly tendered. As a result of our purchase of these tendered notes, and the subsequent redemption of all untendered $400 Million 5% Senior Notes, we recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt of $2.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2021.

Loss from Unconsolidated Joint Ventures

Opry City Stage is anticipated to open in fourth quarter 2017, and Gaylord Rockies is anticipated to open in late 2018.our equity method share of losses associated with Circle.

Other Gains and (Losses), net

Other gains and (losses), net for the three months and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20172022 and 2016 primarily includes gains of $2.6 million and $2.5 million from a fund associated with the Gaylord National bonds to reimburse us for certain marketing and maintenance expenses. The nine-month 2017 period also includes a loss on certain assets that were disposed of in our Entertainment and Corporate segments.2021 represents various miscellaneous items.

Provision for Income Taxes

As a REIT, we generally willare not be subject to federal corporate income taxes on ordinary taxable income and capital gains income from real estate investments that we distribute to our stockholders. We will, however, be subject to corporate income taxes onbuilt-in gains (the excess of fair market value over tax basis at January 1, 2013) that result from gains on the sale of certain assets occurring prior to January 1, 2018. In addition, we will continue to beare required to pay federal and state corporate income taxes on earnings of our TRSs.

For each of the three months and six months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017 and 2016,2022, we recorded an income tax provision of $0.5$17.6 million and $1.8 million, respectively. related to our TRSs.

For the ninethree months and six months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017 and 2016,2021, we recorded an income tax provision of $2.0$1.6 million and $2.4$5.6 million, respectively.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We present the following non-GAAP financial measures, which we believe are useful to investors as key measures of our operating performance:

EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre, Excluding Noncontrolling Interest in Consolidated Joint Venture Definition

We calculate EBITDAre, which is defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) in its September 2017 white paper as net income (calculated in accordance with GAAP) plus interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, gains or losses on the disposition of depreciated property (including gains or losses on change in valuation allowance required atcontrol), impairment write-downs of depreciated property and of investments in unconsolidated affiliates caused by a decrease in the TRSs.

value of depreciated property or the affiliate, and adjustments to reflect the entity’s share of EBITDAre of unconsolidated affiliates.

Adjusted EBITDAre is then calculated as EBITDAre, plus to the extent the following adjustments occurred during the periods presented:

Preopening costs;
Non-cash lease expense;
Equity-based compensation expense;
Impairment charges that do not meet the NAREIT definition above;
Credit losses on held-to-maturity securities;
Any transactions costs of acquisitions;
Loss on extinguishment of debt;
Pension settlement charges;
Pro rata adjusted EBITDAre from unconsolidated joint ventures; and
Any other adjustments we have identified herein.

We then exclude the pro rata share of Adjusted EBITDAre related to noncontrolling interests in consolidated joint ventures to calculate Adjusted EBITDAre, Excluding Noncontrolling Interest in Consolidated Joint Venture.

We use EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre, Excluding Noncontrolling Interest in Consolidated Joint Venture to evaluate our operating performance. We believe that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information to investors regarding our operating performance and debt leverage metrics, and that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures, when combined with the primary GAAP presentation of net income, is beneficial to an investor’s complete understanding of our operating performance. We make additional adjustments to EBITDAre when evaluating our performance because we believe that presenting Adjusted EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre, Excluding Noncontrolling Interest in Consolidated Joint Venture provides useful information to investors regarding our operating performance and debt leverage metrics.

FFO, Adjusted FFO, and Adjusted FFO available to common shareholders and unit holders Definition

We calculate FFOwhich definition is clarified by NAREIT in its December 2018 white paper as net income (calculated in accordance with GAAP) excluding depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs and debt discounts), gains and losses from the sale of certain real estate assets, gains and losses from a change in control, impairment write-downs of certain real estate assets and investments in entities when the impairment is directly attributable to decreases in the value of depreciated real estate held by the entity, income (loss) from consolidated joint ventures attributable to noncontrolling interest, and pro rata adjustments for unconsolidated joint ventures.

39

To calculate Adjusted FFO available to common shareholders and unit holders, we then exclude, to the extent the following adjustments occurred during the periods presented:

Right-of-use asset amortization;
Impairment charges that do not meet the NAREIT definition above;
Write-offs of deferred financing costs;
Amortization of debt discounts or premiums and amortization of deferred financing costs;
Loss on extinguishment of debt;
Non-cash lease expense;
Credit loss on held-to-maturity securities;
Pension settlement charges;
Additional pro rata adjustments from unconsolidated joint ventures;
(Gains) losses on other assets;
Transactions costs on acquisitions;
Deferred income tax expense (benefit); and
Any other adjustments we have identified herein.

FFO available to common shareholders and unit holders and Adjusted FFO available to common shareholders and unit holders exclude the ownership portion of the Gaylord Rockies joint venture not controlled or owned by the Company.

We believe that the presentation of FFO available to common shareholders and unit holders and Adjusted FFO available to common shareholders and unit holders provides useful information to investors regarding the performance of our ongoing operations because they are a measure of our operations without regard to specified non-cash items such as real estate depreciation and amortization, gain or loss on sale of assets and certain other items, which we believe are not indicative of the performance of our underlying hotel properties. We believe that these items are more representative of our asset base than our ongoing operations. We also use these non-GAAP financial measures as measures in determining our results after considering the impact of our capital structure.

We caution investors that amounts presented in accordance with our definitions of Adjusted EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDAre, Excluding Noncontrolling Interest, FFO available to common shareholders and unit holders, and Adjusted FFO available to common shareholders and unit holders may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by other companies, because not all companies calculate these non-GAAP measures in the same manner. These non-GAAP financial measures, and any related per share measures, should not be considered as alternative measures of our Net Income (Loss), operating performance, cash flow or liquidity. These non-GAAP financial measures may include funds that may not be available for our discretionary use due to functional requirements to conserve funds for capital expenditures and property acquisitions and other commitments and uncertainties. Although we believe that these non-GAAP financial measures can enhance an investor’s understanding of our results of operations, these non-GAAP financial measures, when viewed individually, are not necessarily better indicators of any trend as compared to GAAP measures such as Net Income (Loss), Operating Income (Loss), or cash flow from operations.

On July 2, 2019, Aurora Convention Center Hotel, LLC (“Hotel Owner”) and Aurora Convention Center Hotel Lessee, LLC (“Tenant” and collectively, with Hotel Owner, the issuance“Loan Parties”), subsidiaries of the $400 Million 5% Senior Notes,entities that comprised the Gaylord Rockies joint venture, entered into a Second Amended and Restated Loan Agreement (the “Gaylord Rockies Loan”) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent, which refinanced the Gaylord Rockies joint venture’s existing $500 million construction loan and $39 million mezzanine loan, which were scheduled to mature in December 2019. The Gaylord Rockies Loan consists of an $800.0 million secured term loan facility and also includes the option for an additional $80.0 million of borrowing capacity should we completedpursue an expansion of Gaylord Rockies, which was announced in February 2020 but has been postponed as a registered offerresult of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Gaylord Rockies Loan matures July 2, 2023 with three, one-year extension options, subject to exchangecertain requirements in the $400 Million 5% Senior NotesGaylord Rockies Loan, and bears interest at LIBOR plus 2.50%. Simultaneous with closing, the Gaylord Rockies joint venture entered into an interest rate swap to fix the LIBOR portion of the interest rate at 1.65% for registered notesthe first three years of the loan. Additionally, we have entered into an additional interest rate swap to fix the LIBOR portion of the interest rate at 3.3410% for the fourth year of the loan. We have designated these interest rate swaps as effective cash flow hedges.

The Gaylord Rockies Loan is secured by a deed of trust lien on the Gaylord Rockies real estate and related assets. We have entered into limited repayment and carry guaranties that, in the aggregate, guarantee repayment of 10% of the principal debt, together with interest and operating expenses, which are to be released once Gaylord Rockies achieves a certain debt service coverage threshold as defined in the Gaylord Rockies Loan. Generally, the Gaylord Rockies Loan is non-recourse to the Company, subject to (i) those limited guaranties, (ii) a completion guaranty in the event the expansion is pursued, and (iii) customary non-recourse carve-outs.

On June 30, 2020, the Loan Parties entered into Amendment No. 1 (the “Loan Amendment”) to the Gaylord Rockies Loan, by and among the Loan Parties, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent, and the lenders from time to time party thereto.

The Loan Amendment modified the Gaylord Rockies Loan to (i) provide for the ability to use cash for certain purposes, even during a Cash Sweep Period (as defined in the Loan Agreement), which the Gaylord Rockies joint venture was in beginning in July 2020, (ii) extend the deadline for Hotel Owner to commence construction of an expansion to Gaylord Rockies, and (iii) provide favorable changes to the debt service coverage ratio provisions.

The Loan Amendment includes restrictions on distributions to our subsidiaries that own Gaylord Rockies and requires a certain level of equity financing for a Gaylord Rockies expansion.

OEG Credit Agreement. On June 16, 2022, OEG Borrower, LLC (“OEG Borrower”) and OEG Finance, LLC (“OEG Finance”), each a wholly owned direct or indirect subsidiary of OEG, entered into a credit agreement (the “OEG Credit Agreement”) among OEG Borrower, as borrower, OEG Finance, certain subsidiaries of OEG Borrower from time to time party thereto as guarantors, the lenders party thereto and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent. The OEG Credit Agreement provides for (i) a senior secured term loan facility in the aggregate principal amount of $300.0 million (the “OEG Term Loan”) and (ii) a senior secured revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $65.0 million (the “OEG Revolver”). The OEG Term Loan matures on June 16, 2029 and the OEG Revolver matures on June 16, 2027. The OEG Term Loan bears interest at a rate equal to either, at OEG Borrower’s election, (i) the Alternate Base Rate plus 4.00% or (b) Adjusted Term SOFR plus 5.00% (all as specifically more described in the OEG Credit Agreement). The OEG Revolver bears interest at a rate equal to either, at OEG Borrower’s election, (i) the Alternate Base Rate plus 3.75% or (b) Adjusted Term SOFR plus 4.75%, which shall be subject to reduction in the applicable margin based upon OEG’s First Lien Leverage Ratio (all as specifically more described in the OEG Credit Agreement).

and each of its subsidiaries (other than Block 21 and Circle, as more specifically described in the $400 Million 5% Senior NotesOEG Credit Agreement).

At the closing of the purchase of Block 21 on May 31, 2022, a subsidiary of the Company a assumed $136 million, ten-year, non-recourse term loan secured by a mortgage on Block 21 (the “Block 21 CMBS Loan”). The Block 21 CMBS Loan has a fixed interest rate of 5.58% per annum, payable monthly, matures January 5, 2026, and payments are due monthly based on a 30-year amortization.

The Block 21 CMBS Loan contains customary financial covenants and other restrictions, including sponsor net worth and liquidity requirements, and debt service coverage ratio targets that Block 21 must meet in September 2015.order to avoid a “Trigger Period,” the occurrence of which does not constitute a default. Block 21 was in a Trigger Period as of our purchase date. During the Trigger Period, any cash generated in excess of amounts necessary to fund loan obligations, budgeted operating expenses and specified reserves will not be distributed to Block 21.

Additional Debt Limitations. Pursuant to the terms of the management agreements and pooling agreement with Marriott for our Gaylord Hotels properties, excluding Gaylord Rockies, we are subject to certain debt limitations described below.

The management agreements provide for the following limitations on indebtedness encumbering a hotel:

The aggregate principal balance of all mortgage and mezzanine debt encumbering the hotel shall be no greater than 75% of the fair market value of the hotel; and

The aggregate principal balance of all mortgage and mezzanine debt encumbering the hotel shall be no greater than 75% of the fair market value of the hotel; and
The ratio of (a) aggregate Operating Profit (as defined in the management agreement) in the 12 months prior to the closing on the mortgage or mezzanine debt to (b) annual debt service for the hotel shall equal or exceed 1.2:1; but is subject to the pooling agreement described below.

The pooled limitations on Secured Debt (as defined in the pooling agreement) are as follows:

The ratio of (a) aggregate Operating Profit (as defined in the pooling agreement) of Pooled Hotels in the 12 months prior to closing on any mortgage or mezzanine debt to (b) annual debt service for the Pooled Hotels, shall equal or exceed 1.2:1.

Gaylord Rockies is not a Pooled Hotel for this purpose.

Estimated Interest on Principal Debt Agreements

Based on the stated interest rates on our fixed-rate debt and the rates in effect at June 30, 2022 for our variable-rate debt after considering interest rate swaps, our estimated interest obligations through 2026 are $446.2 million. These estimated obligations are $66.8 million for the Pooled Hotels, shall equal or exceed 1.2:1.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As describedremainder of 2022, $117.5 million in Note 6 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included herein, we have invested2023, $93.2 million in a joint venture that will build2024, $88.2 million in 2025, and subsequently own Gaylord Rockies. In connection with this investment, we agreed to provide guarantees of the hotel’s construction loan, including a principal repayment guaranty of up to $21$80.5 million of the total $500 million principal amount of the construction loan previously obtained from a consortium of eight banks, with such amount reducing to $14 million and further reducing to $8.75 million upon Gaylord Rockies’ satisfaction of designated debt service coverage requirements following completion and opening of the hotel. We have also provided a completion guarantee under the construction loan capped at our pro rata share of all costs necessary to complete the project within the time specified in the senior loan documents. Further, we have agreed to a guaranty capped at our pro rata share of the joint venture’s obligations under the construction loan prior to the hotel’s opening related to interest accruing under the construction loan and the operating expenses of the property (estimated pro rata share of interest prior to the hotel opening is $9.8 million). In addition to guaranties related to the construction loan, we agreed to provide a guaranty of the mezzanine debt related to the hotel including a payment guaranty capped at $8.75 million for which we are only liable in the event there is a casualty or condemnation event at the hotel and the construction lenders elect to apply those proceeds to the construction loan balance and release the construction loan guaranties and liens. The guaranty related to the mezzanine debt also includes an uncapped completion guaranty and an uncapped guaranty of the joint venture’s obligations under the mezzanine loan prior to the hotel’s opening related to interest accruing under the mezzanine loan and the operating expenses of the property to the extent not already satisfied by the parties under the guaranties related to the construction loan. As of September 30, 2017, we have not recorded any liability in the condensed consolidated balance sheet associated with these guarantees.

In addition, we enter into commitments under letters of credit, primarily for the purpose of securing our deductible obligations with our insurers, and lending banks under our Amended Credit Agreement had issued $2.1 million of letters of credit at September 30, 2017. Except as set forth in these paragraphs, we do not have anyoff-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

Variable rates, as well as outstanding principal balances, could change in future periods. See “Principal Debt Agreements” above for a discussion of our outstanding long-term debt. See “Supplemental Cash Flow Information” in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 for a discussion of the interest we paid during the fiscal years 2016, 2015 and 2014.
(2)Total operating lease commitments of $616.5 million includes the75-year operating lease agreement we entered into during 1999 for 65.3 acres of land located in Osceola County, Florida where Gaylord Palms is located.
(3)With respect to our properties that are operated under management agreements with Marriott, we are obligated to maintain an FF&E reserve account for future planned and emergency-related capital expenditures at these properties. The amount funded into each of these reserve accounts is determined pursuant to the management agreements and is 5.0% of the respective property’s total annual revenue. At September 30, 2017, $13.6 million was held in FF&E reserve accounts for future capital expenditures at our properties. According to the terms of each management agreement with Marriott, the reserve funds are to be held by Marriott in a restricted cash account. Although it is not required that such funds be expended in a given year, each management agreement provides any excess funds will carry over for use in future years.

The expected cash flows under our defined benefit pension plan, ournon-qualified retirement plan, ournon-qualified contributory deferred compensation plan and our defined benefit postretirement health care and life insurance plan are estimated based upon the best information currently available, but are not driven by contractual terms. Therefore, these obligations have been excluded from the contractual obligations table above.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

We prepare our condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Certain of our accounting policies, including those related to revenue recognition, impairment of long-lived and other assets, credit losses on financial assets, stock-based compensation, derivative financial instruments, depreciation and amortization, income taxes, pension plans, acquisitions and postretirement benefits other than pension plans,purchase price allocations, and legal contingencies, require that we apply significant judgment in defining the appropriate assumptions for calculating financial estimates. By their nature, these judgments are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. Our judgments are based on our historical experience, our observance of trends in the industry, information provided by our customers and information available from other outside sources, as appropriate. There can be no assurance that actual results will not differ from our estimates. For a discussion of our critical accounting policies and estimates, please refer to Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” presented in our Annual Report on Form10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.2021. There were no newly identified critical accounting policies in the first ninesix months of 20172022, nor were there any material changes to the critical accounting policies and estimates discussed in our Annual Report on Form10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.2021.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices, such as interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices. Our primary exposures to market risk are from changes in interest rates and changes in asset values of investments that fund our pension plan.

Risk Related to Changes in Interest Rates

Borrowings outstandingAt June 30, 2022, borrowings under the Revolver bearOEG Term Loan bore interest at an annual rate of LIBORSOFR plus 1.55%, subject to adjustment as described in the agreement.5.00%. If LIBORSOFR were to increase by 100 basis points, our annual interest cost on the $146.5$300.0 million in borrowings outstanding under the RevolverOEG Term Loan at SeptemberJune 30, 20172022 would increase by approximately $1.5$3.0 million.

Other than the above, there have been no material changes in our Term Loan A currently bear interest at an annual ratequantitative and qualitative market risks since December 31, 2021. For a discussion of LIBOR plus 1.50%, subject to adjustment as described in the agreement. If LIBOR were to increase by 100 basis points, our annual interest cost on the $200.0 million in borrowings outstanding under our Term Loan A at September 30, 2017 would increase by approximately $2.0 million.

Borrowings outstanding under our Term Loan B currently bear interest at an annual rate of LIBOR plus 2.25%, subject to adjustment as described in the agreement. If LIBOR were to increase by 100 basis points, our annual interest cost on the $497.5 million in borrowings outstanding under our Term Loan B at September 30, 2017 would increase by approximately $5.0 million.

Certain of our outstanding cash balances are occasionally invested overnight with high credit quality financial institutions. We do not have significantCompany’s exposure to changing interest rates on invested cash at September 30, 2017. As a result, the interest rate market risk, implicitrefer to the Company’s market risk disclosures set forth in these investments at September 30, 2017, if any, is low.

Risk Related to Changes in Asset Values that Fund our Pension Plans

The expected rates of return on the assets that fund our defined benefit pension plan are based on the asset allocationPart II, Item 7A. “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” of the plan andCompany’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the long-term projected return on those assets, which represent a diversified mix of equity securities, fixed income securities and cash. At September 30, 2017, the value of the investments in the pension fund was $69.5 million, and an immediate 10% decrease in this value would have reduced the value of the investments in the pension fund by approximately $6.9 million.year ended December 31, 2021.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule13a-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act, that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The Company carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on the evaluation of these disclosure controls and procedures, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

On May 31, 2022, we acquired Block 21 through a business combination. We are currently in the process of assessing Block 21’s internal control over financial reporting and integrating Block 21’s internal control over financial reporting with our existing internal control over financial reporting. As permitted by SEC regulations, we intend to exclude Block 21 from our assessment of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022 since we acquired Block 21 in May 2022.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.

ThereExcept as otherwise described herein, there have been no material changes from the risk factors disclosed in ourPart I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” as previously set forth in the Company’sFactors,” of our Annual Report on Form10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016.2021.

We may not realize the intended long-term economic benefits of the OEG Transaction or the Block 21 Acquisition.
