SUMMIT HOTEL PROPERTIES, INC.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

General

Summit Hotel Properties, Inc. (the “Company”) is a self-managed hotel investment company that was organized on June 30, 2010 as a Maryland corporation. The Company holds both general and limited partnership interests in Summit Hotel OP, LP (the “Operating Partnership”), a Delaware limited partnership also organized on June 30, 2010. Unless the context otherwise requires, “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries.

We focus on owning premium-branded hotels with efficient operating models primarily in the Upscale segment of the lodging industry. At ~~June 30, 2020,~~March 31, 2021, our portfolio consisted of 72 hotels with a total of 11,288 guestrooms located in 23 states. As of ~~June 30, 2020,~~March 31, 2021, we own 100% of the outstanding equity interests in 67 of our 72 hotels. We own a 51% controlling interest in 5 hotels that we acquired in 2019 through a joint venture. We have elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for federal income tax purposes. To qualify as a REIT, we cannot operate or manage our hotels. Accordingly, all of our hotels are leased to our taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRS Lessees”).

Risks and Uncertainties

The Company is subject to risks and uncertainties as a result of the effects of the novel coronavirus, designated as COVID-19 (“COVID-19”)., for at least the near future. The ~~full extent of the effects of the~~ COVID-19 pandemic has had and will continue to have a significant adverse effect on ~~the Company's business is highly uncertain and difficult to predict, as the response to the pandemic has varied by state and municipalities within states.~~our operations. The Company first began to experience effects from COVID-19 in March 2020, when the World Health Organization (“WHO”) declared a public health emergency of international concern related to COVID-19. By March 31, 2020, stay-at-home directives had been issued in many states across the United States and many local jurisdictions had additionally required the temporary closure of businesses deemed to be non-essential. In April 2020, certain states began to issue guidelines and implement plans for allowing businesses and other activities in their states to re-open or resume in various phases. However, beginning in June 2020, surges in new COVID-19 cases slowed the pace of the nascent economic recovery and delayed or reversed the resumption of certain activities and business re-openings across the country.

These actions and restrictions have had a significant negative effect on the U.S. and global economies, including a rapid and sharp decline in all forms of travel, both domestic and international, and a significant decline in ~~the demand for hotels and guestrooms.~~hotel demand. These conditions have resulted in a substantial decline in our revenues, profitability and cash flows from operations during the first half of 2020 and are expected to continue to materially adversely affect our operations and financial results until travel and business restrictions are eased, consumer confidence is restored and an economic recovery commences. The COVID-19 pandemic has also significantly increased economic uncertainty and has led to disruption and volatility in the global capital markets, which could increase our cost of, and limit accessibility to, capital. operations.

The COVID-19 pandemic had caused the Company to temporarily suspend operations at 6 hotels containing 934 guestrooms in March 2020. An additional 9 hotels, containing 1,278 guestrooms, each of which is adjacent to another of our hotels ("Sister Properties"), continued to accept reservations, but guests were directed to Sister Properties. ~~During the second quarter ended June 30,~~In May of 2020, 5 hotels containing 682 guestrooms and 4 hotel properties adjacent to Sister Properties containing 506 guestrooms were re-opened. During the second half of 2020, 3 hotel properties adjacent to Sister Properties containing 430 guestrooms were re-opened. As of ~~June 30, 2020,~~March 31, 2021, only 1 hotel with 252 guestrooms still has suspended operations and guests at 52 other hotels containing ~~772~~342 guestrooms are being directed to Sister Properties. ~~In addition~~

During the first quarter of 2021, the administration of COVID-19 vaccines has rapidly increased and government restrictions in many jurisdictions have been eased or lifted. As a result, we have experienced a sequential improvement in our business that has been primarily driven by leisure travel. A recovery in business travel and group business has been slower and we anticipate that these trends will continue until the COVID-19 vaccine is more broadly distributed, government restrictions are fully lifted, consumer confidence is restored and a recovery in hospitality and travel-related demand occurs.

The duration and severity of the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic are highly uncertain and difficult to ~~closing or consolidating operations of certain hotels,~~predict. As such, the Company ~~has taken~~took several actions to mitigate the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company, including the following:

•~~Borrowed an additional net amount~~Further amended loan agreements of ~~$125.0 million on~~our 2018 Senior Credit Facility, 2017 Term Loan and 2018 Term Loan (each as defined in "Note 5 – Debt") in February 2021 to provide for financial covenant waivers through March 31, 2022, to obtain certain modifications to financial covenant measures through December 31, 2023 and to access the full borrowing capacity under our $400 million ~~unsecured~~ revolving credit facility ("(“$400 Million ~~Revolver"~~Revolver”) ~~during the six months ended June 30, 2020~~subject to certain conditions, as a precautionary measure to provide sufficient liquidity to meet our funding needs for at least the next twelve months. At July 31, 2020, we had $117.3 million of consolidated unrestricted cash on hand and an additional $150.0 million of undrawn availability on our $400 Million Revolver, as amended by the First Amendment (as defined below)described in "Note 5 - Debt." We have no debt maturing before November 2022.

•Amended loan agreements of our 2018 Unsecured Credit Facility, 2017 Term Loan and 2018 Term Loan to provide for financial covenant waivers through March 31, 2021, to modify or waive compliance with certain financial covenant measures for the final three quarters of 2021 and to access additional borrowing capacity of $150.0 million under our $400 Million Revolver.

•~~Amended~~Further amended our joint venture credit agreement in April 2021 to provide for ~~a financial covenant waiver through March 31, 2021, to modify~~ certain financial covenant ~~measures through June 30, 2022,~~waivers and adjustments as described below in "Note 5 – Debt."

•Completed the offering of $287.5 million of Convertible Notes (as defined in "Note 5 – Debt") in January 2021 and used a portion of the proceeds to repay the outstanding borrowings under our $400 Million Revolver and to ~~access additional~~partially repay outstanding balances under our term loan obligations. These transactions ensured the availability of sufficient capacity under the $400 Million Revolver to ~~fund operating expense deficits and various capital expenditures.~~provide adequate liquidity should we experience a prolonged disruption in lodging demand.

•Suspended the declaration and payment of dividends on our common stock and operating partnership ~~units.~~units beginning in the first quarter of 2020. This ~~will conserve~~conserves an additional $19.0 million of cash quarterly, or $75.0 million on an annualized basis.

•Postponed ~~all~~ non-essential capital improvement projects ~~planned for 2020~~ beyond those already substantially complete ~~which is expected~~and continue to ~~reduce previously planned total~~adjust capital ~~expenditures by at least $35.0 million, or over 50% based on the midpoint of our previously provided guidance range of total capital expenditures for 2020.~~improvement spending in response to changes in demand.

•Adopted comprehensive cost reduction initiatives, including the reduction of labor and temporary elimination of certain services and amenities, at all hotels. Certain labor costs and services or amenities have been added back on a limited basis as improvements in occupancy levels have supported. As described above, we temporarily suspended operations at certain hotels in response to specific government mandates or as the result of adverse market conditions.

•Negotiated the temporary suspension of FF&E reserve funding requirements for certain of our hotels and facilitated the interim or permanent use of cash deposited in our restricted cash reserve for replacement of furniture, fixtures and equipment ("FF&E Reserve Accounts") of certain of our hotels for general working capital purposes.

•Implemented a voluntary ~~25%~~ temporary reduction of base salaries and fees, respectively, for executive officers and independent members of the Board of Directors ~~in April~~for a portion of 2020.

•Furloughed approximately 25% of the corporate-level staff in April 2020. Certain of the furloughed staff ~~have been~~were reinstated during ~~the second quarter of~~ 2020 to meet specific needs of the Company as supported by our operating performance, but the majority of the furloughed ~~staff remain inactive. Temporary~~positions were permanently eliminated during the third quarter.

•Implemented temporary salary reductions for the majority of our remaining non-executive employees ~~were also implemented in April~~for a portion of 2020.

•Implemented a temporary hiring freeze for any new corporate-level positions.

It is currently extremely difficult to predict ~~how long the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company will continue, when an economic recovery will commence, and~~ the length of time it will take for us to return to pre-pandemic operational and financial ~~performance that is consistent with our 2019 fiscal year.~~performance. Despite the uncertainty, based on the actions we have taken, we believe we have sufficient cash and access to liquidity to meet our obligations for ~~at least~~ the ~~next twelve months.~~foreseeable future.

NOTE 2 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

We prepare our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Accordingly, the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring items) considered necessary for a fair presentation in accordance with GAAP have been included. Results for the three ~~and six~~ months ended ~~June 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021 may not be indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year of ~~2020.~~2021. For further information, please read the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2019.~~2020.

The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements consolidate the accounts of all entities in which we have a controlling financial interest, as well as variable interest entities for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

We evaluate joint venture partnerships to determine if they should be consolidated based on whether the partners exercise joint control. For a joint venture where we exercise primary control and we also own a majority of the equity interests, we consolidate the joint venture partnership. We have consolidated the accounts of our joint venture partnership with GIC in our accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. See "Note 8 - Equity - Non-controlling Interests in Joint Venture" for further information.

Investment in Hotel Properties

The Company allocates the purchase price of acquired hotel properties based on the fair value of the acquired land, land improvements, building, furniture, fixtures and equipment, identifiable intangible assets or liabilities, other assets and assumed liabilities. Intangible assets may include certain value associated with the on-going operations of the hotel business being acquired as part of the hotel property acquisition. Acquired intangible assets that derive their values from real property or an interest in real property, are inseparable from that real property or interest in real property, and do not produce or contribute to the production of income other than consideration for the use or occupancy of space, are recorded as a component of the related real estate asset in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. We allocate the purchase price of acquired hotel properties to land, building and furniture, fixtures and equipment based on independent third-party ~~independent~~ appraisals.

If substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired are concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets, the asset or asset group is not considered a business. When we conclude that an acquisition meets this threshold, acquisition costs will be capitalized as part of our allocation of the purchase price of the acquired hotel properties.

Our hotel properties and related assets are recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation. We capitalize hotel development costs and the costs of significant additions and improvements that materially upgrade, increase the value or extend the useful life of the property. These costs may include hotel development, refurbishment, renovation, and remodeling expenditures, as well as certain indirect internal costs related to construction projects. If an asset requires a period of time in which to carry out the activities necessary to bring it to the condition necessary for its intended use, the interest cost incurred during that period as a result of expenditures for the asset is capitalized as part of the cost of the asset. We expense the cost of repairs and maintenance as incurred.

On a limited basis, we provide financing to developers of hotel properties for development projects. We evaluate these arrangements to determine if we participate in residual profits of the hotel property through the loan provisions or other agreements. Where we conclude that these arrangements are more appropriately treated as an investment in the hotel property, we reflect the loan as Investment in hotel properties, net in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

We monitor events and changes in circumstances for indicators that the carrying value of a hotel property or undeveloped land may be impaired. Additionally, we perform at least annual reviews to monitor the factors that could trigger an impairment. Factors that we consider for an impairment analysis include, among others: i) significant underperformance relative to historical or anticipated operating results, ii) significant changes in the manner of use of a property or the strategy of our overall business, including changes in the estimated holding periods for hotel properties and land parcels, iii) a significant increase in competition, iv) a significant adverse change in legal factors or regulations, v) changes in values of comparable land or hotel sales, and vi) significant negative industry or economic trends. When such factors are identified, we prepare an estimate of the undiscounted future cash flows of the specific property and determine if the carrying amount of the asset is recoverable. If an impairment is identified, we estimate the fair value of the property based on discounted cash flows or sales price if the property is under contract and an adjustment is made to reduce the carrying value of the property to its estimated fair value. Due to the adverse effects of the COVID-19 pandemic across our entire portfolio of hotel properties, an impairment evaluation was completed for all of our hotel properties and identified no impairment at ~~June 30, 2020.~~March 31, 2021.

Intangible Assets

We amortize intangible assets with determined finite useful lives using the straight-line method. We do not amortize intangible

assets with indefinite useful lives, but we evaluate these assets for impairment annually or at interim periods if events or

circumstances indicate that the asset may be impaired. Due to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, we evaluated our intangible assets for impairment at ~~June 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021 and identified no0 impairment.

Trade Receivables and Credit Policies

We grant credit to qualified customers, generally without collateral, in the form of trade accounts receivable. Trade receivables

result from the rental of hotel guestrooms and the sales of food, beverage, and banquet services and are payable under normal

trade terms. Trade receivables also include credit and debit card transactions that are in the process of being settled. Trade

receivables are stated at the amount billed to the customer and do not accrue interest. We regularly review the collectability of our trade receivables. A provision for losses is determined on the basis of previous loss experience and current economic conditions. Our allowance for doubtful accounts was $0.4 million ~~and $0.2 million~~ at ~~June 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021 and December 31, ~~2019, respectively,~~2020 and bad debt expense was ~~$0.2~~$0.1 million and ~~$0.1~~$0.3 million for the three months ended ~~June 30,~~March 31, 2021 and 2020, ~~and 2019, respectively, and $0.5 million and $0.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019,~~ respectively.

Leases

In ~~February 2016, the FASB issued~~accordance with ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), ~~which changed lessee accounting to reflect~~we record the financial liability and right-of-use assets that are inherent to leasing an asset on the balance ~~sheet. We adopted ASU No. 2016-02 on January 1, 2019. A lessee is also required to record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability~~sheet for all leases with a term of greater than 12 months regardless of their classification. ~~In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-10,~~ ~~Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases, to clarify how to apply certain aspects of ASC No. 842,~~ ~~Leases. In July 2018, the FASB also issued ASU 2018-11,~~ ~~Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements~~, to give companies another option for transition and to provide lessors with a practical expedient to reduce the cost and complexity of implementing the new standard. The transition option allows companies to not apply the new lease standard in the comparative periods they present in their financial statements in the year of adoption. The Company elected certain practical expedients allowed under the guidance and retained the original lease classification and historical accounting for initial direct costs for leases existing prior to the adoption date. The Company also elected not to restate prior periods for the effect of the adoption of the new standard. In accordance with ASU No. 2016-02, we reclassified certain existing lease-related assets and liabilities to Right-of-use assets as of January 1, 2019. The adoption of ~~ASU No. 2016-02~~ ~~resulted in the recognition of incremental Right-of-use assets and related Lease liabilities of $23.6 million on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of January 1, 2019.~~

Several of our hotels lease retail or restaurant space to third-party tenants. The majority of our third-party tenants ~~have~~ requested rent deferrals to ease the negative financial effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on their businesses. We have primarily negotiated rent deferrals with these tenants that defer rent for a specified number of months and require repayment of the deferred rent over a negotiated period of time. We have adopted a policy that the deferrals are not a change in the provisions of the lease. As such, we are accounting for the concessions using the rights and obligations of the existing lease and recognizing a short-term lease receivable in the period that the cash payment is owed.

Notes Receivables

We selectively provide mezzanine financing to developers where we also have the opportunity to acquire the hotel at or after the completion of the development project, and we also may provide seller financing under limited circumstances. We classify notes receivable as held-to-maturity and carry the notes receivable at cost less the unamortized discount, if any. On January 1, 2020, we adopted ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326), which requires a financial asset (or a group of financial assets) measured at amortized cost to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The allowance for credit losses is a valuation account that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of the financial asset(s) to present the net carrying value at the amount expected to be collected on the financial asset. The measurement of expected credit losses is based on relevant information about past events, including historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. We routinely evaluate our notes receivable and interest receivables for collectability. Probable losses on notes receivable are recognized in a valuation account that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of the notes receivable and recorded as Provision for credit losses in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. When we place notes receivable on nonaccrual status, we suspend the recognition of interest income until cash interest payments are received. Generally, we return notes receivable to accrual status when all delinquent interest becomes current and collectability of interest is reasonably assured. We do not measure an allowance for credit losses for accrued interest receivable. Accrued interest receivable is written-off to bad debt expense when collection is not reasonably assured.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

We consider all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At times, cash on deposit may exceed the federally insured limit. We maintain our cash with high credit quality financial institutions.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash consists of certain funds maintained in escrow for property taxes, insurance, and certain capital expenditures. Funds may be disbursed from the account upon proof of expenditures and approval from the lender or other party requiring the restricted cash reserves.

Revenue Recognition

In accordance with ASU No. 2014-09, revenues from the operation of our hotels are recognized when guestrooms are occupied, services have been rendered or fees have been earned. Revenues are recorded net of any discounts and sales and other taxes collected from customers. Revenues consist of room sales, food and beverage sales, and other hotel revenues and are presented on a disaggregated basis on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Room revenue is generated through short-term contracts with customers whereby customers agree to pay a daily rate for the right to occupy hotel rooms for one or more nights. Our performance obligations are fulfilled at the end of each night that the customers have the right to occupy the rooms. Room revenues are recognized daily at the contracted room rate in effect for each room night.

Food and beverage revenues are generated when customers purchase food and beverage at a hotel's restaurant, bar or other facilities. Our performance obligations are fulfilled at the time that food and beverage is purchased and provided to our customers.

Other revenues such as fees for parking, meeting space or communication services are recognized at the point in time or over the time period that the associated good or service is provided. Ancillary services such as parking at certain hotels are provided by third parties and we assess whether we are the principal or agent in such arrangements. If we are determined to be the agent, revenue is recognized based upon the commission paid to us by the third party for the services rendered to our customers. If we are determined to be the principal, revenues are recognized based upon the gross contract price of the service provided. Certain of our hotels have retail spaces, restaurants or other spaces that we lease to third parties. Lease revenues are recognized on a straight-line basis over the respective lease terms and are included in Other income on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Cash received prior to customer arrival is recorded as an advance deposit from the customer and is recognized as revenue at the time of occupancy.

Equity-Based Compensation

Our 2011 Equity Incentive Plan, which was amended and restated effective June 15, 2015 (as amended, the “Equity Plan”), provides for the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, dividend equivalent rights, and other stock-based awards. We account for ~~the stock options granted upon completion of our IPO at fair value using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and we account for all other awards of equity, including~~ time-based and performance-based stock awards using the grant date fair value of those equity awards. Restricted stock awards with performance-based vesting conditions are market-based awards tied to total stockholder return and are valued using a Monte Carlo simulation model in accordance with ASC Topic 718, Compensation — Stock Compensation. We expense the fair value of awards under the Equity Plan ratably over the vesting period and market-based awards are not adjusted for performance. The amount of stock-based compensation expense may be subject to adjustment in future periods due to a change in forfeiture assumptions or modification of previously granted awards.

Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging

We use interest rate derivatives to hedge our risks on variable-rate debt. Interest rate derivatives could include swaps, caps, collars, and floors. We assess the effectiveness of each hedging relationship by comparing changes in fair value or cash flows of the derivative financial instrument with the changes in fair value or cash flows of the designated hedged item or transaction. All derivative financial instruments are recorded at fair value as a net asset or liability in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The change in the fair value of the hedging instruments is recorded in Other comprehensive income. Amounts deferred in Other comprehensive income will be reclassified to Interest expense in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations in the period in which the hedged item affects earnings.

Income Taxes

We have elected to be taxed as a REIT under certain provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. To qualify as a REIT, we must meet certain organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement to distribute annually to our stockholders at least 90% of our REIT taxable income, ~~determined without regard~~subject to ~~the deduction for dividends paid~~certain adjustments and excluding ~~net~~any capital ~~gains, which does not necessarily equal net income as calculated in accordance with GAAP.~~gain. As a REIT, we generally will not be subject to federal income tax (other than taxes paid by our ~~TRS Lessees~~TRSs at regular corporate income tax rates) to the extent we distribute 100% of our REIT taxable income to our stockholders. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we will be subject to federal income tax on our taxable income at regular corporate income tax rates and generally will be unable to re-elect REIT status until the fifth calendar year after the year in which we failed to qualify as a REIT, unless we satisfy certain relief provisions.

Substantially all of our assets are held by and all of our operations are conducted through ~~either~~ our Operating Partnership or our subsidiary REITs. Partnerships are not subject to U.S. federal income taxes as revenues and expenses pass through to and are taxed on the owners. Generally, the states and cities where partnerships operate follow the U.S. federal income tax treatment. However, there are a limited number of local and state jurisdictions that tax the taxable income of the Operating Partnership. Accordingly, we provide for income taxes in these jurisdictions for the Operating Partnership.

Taxable income related to our ~~TRS Lessees~~TRSs are subject to federal, state and local income taxes at applicable tax rates. Our ~~interim~~consolidated income tax provision includes the income tax provision related to the operations of the ~~TRS Lessees~~TRSs as well as state and local income taxes related to the Operating Partnership.

Where required, we account for federal and state income taxes using the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for: i) the future tax consequences attributable to differences between carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities based on GAAP and the respective carrying amounts for tax purposes, and ii) operating losses and ~~tax credit~~tax-credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date of the change in tax rates. However, deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is more likely than not ~~that~~ they will be realized based on consideration of available evidence. Valuation allowances are provided if, based upon the weight of the available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

We consider all available evidence, both positive and negative, to determine whether, based on the weight of that evidence, a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets is needed. Due to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, certain of our TRSs have incurred operating losses in the past and are expected to be in a cumulative loss for the foreseeable future. As such, the realizability of our deferred tax assets at March 31, 2021 is not reasonably assured. Therefore, we have recorded a valuation allowance against substantially all of our deferred tax assets at March 31, 2021.

We perform a quarterly review for any uncertain tax positions. The Company had no accruals for uncertain tax positions as of ~~June 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021 and December 31, ~~2019.~~2020.

Fair Value Measurement

Fair value measures are classified into a three-tiered fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:


Level 1:						Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets.
Level 2:						Directly or indirectly observable inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets.
Level 3:						Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market information, which require a reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are based on one or more of the following valuation techniques:


Market approach:						Prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities.
Cost approach:						Amount required to replace the service capacity of an asset (replacement cost).
Income approach:						Techniques used to convert future amounts to a single amount based on market expectations (including present-value, option-pricing, and excess-earnings models).

Our estimates of fair value were determined using available market information and appropriate valuation methods. Considerable judgment is necessary to interpret market data and develop estimated fair value. The use of different market assumptions or estimation methods may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts. We classify assets and liabilities in the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

We have elected a measurement alternative for equity investments, such as our purchase options, that do not have readily determinable fair values. Under the alternative, our purchase options are measured at cost, less any impairment, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for an identical or similar investment of the same issuer, if any.

Non-controlling Interests

Non-controlling interests represent the portion of equity in a consolidated entity held by owners other than the consolidating parent. Non-controlling interests are reported in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets within equity, separately from stockholders’ equity. Revenue, expenses and net income attributable to both the Company and the non-controlling interests are reported in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include non-controlling interests related to common units of limited partnership interests (“Common Units”) in the Operating Partnership held by unaffiliated third parties and third-party ownership of a 49% interest in a consolidated joint venture. See "Note 8 - Equity - Non-controlling Interests in Joint Venture" for further information.

Use of Estimates

Our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in conformity with GAAP, which requires us to make estimates based on assumptions about current and, for some estimates, future economic and market conditions that affect reported amounts and related disclosures in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Although our current estimates contemplate current and expected future conditions, as applicable, it is reasonably possible that actual conditions could materially differ from our expectations, which could materially affect our expectations for our consolidated financial position and results of operations. In particular, a number of estimates have been and will continue to be affected by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

The evaluation of the carrying amounts of our assets described above requires that we make projections of the future estimated cash flows and residual values of the assets or underlying collateral based on assumptions derived from available information about future market conditions that will affect these projections. While the potential magnitude and duration of the business and economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic are uncertain, our analysis of future estimated cash flows, values of assets or underlying collateral assumes that the nascent and gradual recovery in our business that began in the second half of April 2020 will continue into the second half of 2020 and operating performance will improve gradually over a multi-year period before reaching prior peak performance levels.

The severity, magnitude and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as its economic consequences, are uncertain, rapidly changing and difficult to predict. As such, there can be no assurance that our forecasts and underlying assumptions will be realized. As a result, our accounting estimates and assumptions may change over time, and actual results may differ materially from our expectations. We will continue to monitor the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic in future quarters. If actual results differ from our forecasts, this may result in future impairments of hotel properties, intangible assets, right-of-use assets, or investment securities such as our purchase options, or in incremental credit losses on our notes receivables.

New Accounting Standards

~~In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12,~~ ~~Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which is intended to simplify various aspects related to accounting for income taxes. ASU No. 2019-12 removes certainexceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistentapplication. ASU No. 2019-12 is effective for our fiscal year commencing on January 1, 2021, with early adoption permitted.The adoption of ASU No. 2019-12 will not have a material effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.~~

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848). ASU No. 2020-04 contains practical expedients for reference rate reform related activities that affect debt, leases, derivatives and other contracts. The guidance in ASU No. 2020-04 is optional and may be elected over time as reference rate reform activities occur. During 2020, the Company ~~has~~ 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 effect of the guidance and may apply other elections as applicable as additional changes in the market occur.

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) – Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity. The objective of ASU No. 2020-06 is to address issues identified as a result of the complexity associated with applying generally accepted accounting principles for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity.

The amendments in ASU No. 2020-06 reduce the number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock. For convertible instruments with conversion features that are not required to be accounted for as derivatives under Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, or that do not result in substantial premiums accounted for as paid-in capital, the embedded conversion features no longer are separated from the host contract. The amendments in ASU No. 2020-06 remove certain conditions that should be considered in the derivatives scope exception evaluation under Subtopic 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity, and clarify the scope and certain requirements under Subtopic 815-40. The amendments also improve the guidance related to the disclosures and earnings-per-share (EPS) for convertible instruments and contracts in an entity’s own equity.

ASU No. 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. We elected to adopt ASU No. 2020-06 effective January 1, 2021 in connection with our Convertible Notes Offering closed on January 12, 2021 as described in "Note 5 – Debt." In accordance with the provisions of ASU No. 2020-06, we will account for the convertible notes issued in 2021 entirely as a liability and we will use the if-converted method for diluted share calculations.

~~Hotel Property Acquisitions~~

~~We did not acquire any hotel properties during the six months ended June 30,~~ 2020 or 2019. On January 31, 2019, we exercised our option pursuant to a ground lease agreement to purchase the land upon which our Residence Inn by Marriott in Baltimore (Hunt Valley), MD is located for $4.2 million, which resulted in a termination of obligations under the ground lease. As a result, this hotel property is no longer subject to a ground lease.

The results of operations of acquired properties are included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations beginning on their respective acquisition dates. The following unaudited pro forma information includes operating results for 72 hotels owned as of June 30, 2020 as if all such hotels had been owned by us since January 1, 2019.

Real Estate Development Loans

We provided mezzanine loans on 3 real estate development projects to fund up to an aggregate of $29.6 million for the development of 3 hotel properties. The 3 real estate development loans closed in the fourth quarter of 2017 and each ~~has~~had a stated interest rate of 8%8.00% and an initial term of approximately three years. AsDuring the year ended December 31, 2020, 1 of ~~June 30, 2020, we have funded~~ the ~~full amount~~real estate loans with a principal balance of ~~$29.6 million.~~ $3.8 million was repaid in full.

We have separate options related to each outstanding loan (each the "Initial Option") to purchase a 90% interest in each joint venture that owns the respective hotel upon completion of ~~construction; the Initial Option for each of the three loans is currently exercisable.~~construction. The Initial ~~Option for each of~~Options are exercisable while the ~~three loans will remain exercisable through the maturity date or full repayment of the mezzanine loans.~~related real estate development loan is outstanding. We also have the right to purchase the remaining interests in each joint venture at future dates, generally five years after we exercise our Initial Option. We have recorded the ~~original~~ aggregate estimated fair value of each Initial Option totaling ~~$6.1~~$4.4 million in Other assets and as a discount to the related real estate loans. The discount will be amortized as a component of non-cash interest income over the initial term of the real estate loans using the straight-line method, which approximates the interest method. We recorded amortization of the discount of $0.5 million during the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 and $1.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, we recorded a Loss on impairment of assets of $0.8 million related to one of the purchase options. See assets.

~~"Note 9 - Fair Value Measurement"~~ ~~for further information.~~

~~During~~

The COVID-19 pandemic has adversely affected the quarter ended June 30, 2020, we modified the 3 real estate development loans described above to provide for interest payment deferrals of 90 days through July 15, 2020. Therefore, we have suspended the recognition of interest income for these loans until the cash interest payments are received. At June 30, 2020, the amortized cost basisoperations of the ~~3 real estate development loans was $29.4 million and~~hotels that collateralize our mezzanine loans. As a result, at March 31, 2021 we ~~had recorded~~have an allowance for credit losses of $2.6 million that was recorded in March 2020, to reduce the carrying amounts of the loans to their estimated net realizable values. Additionally, in March 2021, we entered into loan modifications related to the 2 outstanding real estate development loans described above to extend the maturity date of each loan to March 31, 2022. Interest will accrue at a rate of 8.00% and will be payable quarterly throughout the term of the loan. In connection with the modifications, the borrowers paid all interest due through March 31, 2021, which interest payments were previously deferred pursuant to modifications entered into in 2020. As a result, the Company recognized interest income related to these ~~loans. During~~loans of $2.1 million during the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30, 2020, we recorded cash interest income of $0.6 million related to these loans.~~March 31, 2021.

During the ~~third quarter of~~year ended December 31, 2019, we ~~completed~~provided a mezzanine loan ~~with a commitment~~ to fund up to $28.9 million for a mixed-use development project that includes a hotel property, retail space, and parking. The loan closed in the third quarter of 2019 and has a stated interest rate of ~~9% and an initial term of 30 months.~~9.00%. The loan is secured by a second mortgage on the development project and a pledge of the equity in the project owner. As of ~~June 30, 2020,~~March 31, 2021, we have funded ~~$11.1~~$20.3 million of the loan commitment. Upon completion of construction, we have an option to purchase a 90% interest in the hotel (the “Initial Purchase Option”). We also have the right to purchase the remaining interest in the hotel five years after the completion of construction. We have issued a $10.0 million letter of credit under our senior ~~unsecured~~revolving credit facility to secure the exercise of the Initial Purchase Option. As such, we have classified the loan as Investment in hotel properties, net inon our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at ~~June 30, 2020.~~March 31, 2021. Interest income on the mezzanine loan will be recorded in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations as it is earned. We have recorded the aggregate estimated fair value of the Initial Purchase Option totaling $2.8 million in Other assets and as a contra-asset to Investment in hotel properties, net. The contra-asset will be amortized as a component of non-cash interest income over the term of the real estate development loan using the straight-line method, which approximates the interest method. ~~During~~We recorded amortization of the contra-asset of $0.3 million during each of the three ~~and six~~ months ended ~~June 30,~~March 31, 2021 and 2020 ~~we amortized $0.3 million and $0.6 million, respectively,~~ as non-cash interest income.

On June 29, 2018, we sold the Holiday Inn in Duluth, GA and the Hilton Garden Inn in Duluth, GA for an aggregate selling price of $24.9 million. We provided seller financing totaling $3.6 million on the sale of these properties under 2, ~~3.5-year~~3.5 year second mortgage notes with a blended interest rate of 7.38% ~~secured~~that are further collateralized by a ~~$3.0 million second mortgage.~~personal guarantee from the principal of the borrower.

Our current estimate of credit losses of $2.6 million as a result of the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic isoutstanding obligations. As such, we have recorded as an allowance for credit losses in an amount equal to the outstanding balance of the loans at ~~June 30, 2020.~~March 31, 2021. Additionally, we have suspended the recognition of interest income for these loans until the cash interest payments are received.

On October 8, 2019, Summit JV MR 1, LLC (the “Borrower”), as borrower, Summit Hospitality JV, LP (the “Parent”), as parent, and each party executing the credit facility documentation as a subsidiary guarantor, entered into a $200 million credit facility (the “Joint Venture Credit Facility”) with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent and sole initial lender, and BofA Securities, Inc., as sole lead arranger and sole bookrunner.

The Parent is the joint venture including the Operating Partnership and an affiliate of GIC, Singapore's sovereign wealth fund. See ""Note 8 -– Equity -– Non-controlling Interests in Joint ~~Venture"~~Venture" for additional information. The Operating Partnership and the Company are not borrowers or guarantors of the Joint Venture Credit Facility. The Joint Venture Credit Facility is guaranteed by all of the Borrower’s existing and future subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions.

On June 18, 2020, the Borrower, the Parent, and each party executing the credit facility documentation as a subsidiary guarantor, entered into the Second Amendment to Credit Agreement (the “JV Second Amendment”) of the Joint Venture Credit Facility with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, BofA Securities, Inc., as sole lead arranger and sole bookrunner, and a syndicate of lenders including Bank of America, N.A., KeyBank National Association, and Bank of Montreal, Chicago Branch.

The Joint Venture Credit Facility is comprised of a $125 million revolving credit facility (the “$125 Million Revolver”) and a $75 million term loan (the “$75 Million Term Loan”). The Joint Venture Credit Facility has an accordion feature which will allow us to increase the total commitments by up to $300 million, for aggregate potential borrowings of up to $500 million on the Joint Venture Credit Facility. The JV Second Amendment confirmed that the Borrower may make additional advances on the existing revolving facility. Prior to the expiration of the Covenant Waiver Period (defined below), advances are limited to the lesser of the aggregate facility amount and the aggregate Borrowing Base Asset Value multiplied by 55%, less all outstanding advances. Upon the expiration of the Covenant Waiver Period, advances are limited to the lesser of the aggregate facility amount, the aggregate Borrowing Base Asset Value multiplied by 55%, and the amount that would permit the Borrower to achieve the Borrowing Base Coverage Ratio then applicable, less all outstanding advances.

The $125 Million Revolver and the $75 Million Term Loan will mature on October 8, 2023. Each ~~individually~~ can be extended for a single consecutive twelve-month period at the ~~Joint Venture's~~Borrower's option, subject to certain conditions.

Interest is paid on revolving credit advances at varying rates based upon, at the Borrower's option, either (i) 1-, 2-, 3-, or 6-month LIBOR, plus a margin of 2.15% for Eurodollar rate advances, or (ii) LIBOR, plus a margin of 2.15% for LIBOR floating rate advances. The applicable margin for a term loan advance shall be 5 basis points less than revolving credit advances referenced above.

At March 31, 2021, we were in compliance with all financial covenants.

Amendments to $200 Million Joint Venture Credit Facility

On June 28, 2020, the Company entered into a Second Amendment to Credit Agreement concerning the Joint Venture Credit Facility (“Second Amendment”). The Second Amendment resulted in waivers or adjustments to certain financial and other covenants under the Joint Venture Credit Facility, which are described in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company on June 24, 2020.

On April 29, 2021, the Borrower, Parent, and each party executing the credit facility documentation as a subsidiary guarantor, entered into a Third Amendment to Credit Agreement concerning the Joint Venture Credit Facility (the “Joint Venture Amendment”) with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, and Bank of America, N.A., KeyBank National Association and Bank of Montreal, Chicago Branch, as lenders.

Certain financial and other covenants under the Joint Venture Credit Facility were waived or adjusted, for the periods described below:

•The Maximum Leverage Ratio and borrowing base leverage ratio (for purposes of determining availability) shall not exceed the following:

◦55.0% through the fourth quarter of 2021

◦65.0% for the first and second quarters of 2022

◦60.0% for the third quarter of 2022 until the initial maturity date

◦55.0% during any extension period

•Temporary waiver of the Minimum Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio through the fourth quarter of 2021 and adjusting up through the second quarter of 2022; and

•Temporary waiver of the Borrowing Base Coverage Ratio through the first quarter of 2022 and adjusting up through June 30, 2023.

During the covenant waiver period, the applicable margin shall be increased to 230 basis points and 225 basis points for the revolver and term loan, respectively. After the covenant waiver period, the applicable margin will revert to 215 basis points and 210 basis points for the revolver and term loan, respectively.

The Joint Venture Amendment confirmed that the Borrower may make additional advances on the existing revolving facility, subject to certain financial covenant limitations. Certain other typical limitations and conditions for credit facilities of this nature were included among the provisions in the amendments including, among other provisions, limitations on the use of revolving facility advances, certain restrictions on payments of dividends and limitations on investments and dispositions. We retain the right to opt out of certain additional restrictive covenants upon demonstration of compliance with the required financial covenants.

Borrowing Base ~~Assets.~~ Assets. The Joint Venture Credit Facility is secured primarily by a first priority pledge of the Borrower's equity interests in the subsidiaries that hold the borrowing base assets, and the related TRS entities, which wholly own the TRS Lessees that lease each of the borrowing base assets.

Convertible Senior Notes and Capped Call Options

On January 7, 2021, we entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Convertible Notes Offering”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to offer and sell $287.5 million aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 1.50% convertible senior notes due 2026 (the “Convertible Notes"). The net proceeds from the Convertible Notes Offering, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by the Company (including net proceeds from the full exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option to purchase additional Convertible Notes), were approximately $280.0 million before consideration of the Capped Call Transactions (as defined below). These proceeds were used to pay the cost of the Capped Call Transactions and to partially repay outstanding obligations under the 2018 Senior Credit Facility and 2017 Term Loan.

The Convertible Notes bear interest at a rate of 1.50% per year, payable semi-annually in arrears on February 15 and August 15 of each year, beginning on August 15, 2021. The Convertible Notes will mature on February 15, 2026 (the “Maturity Date”), unless earlier converted, purchased or redeemed. Prior to August 15, 2025, the Convertible Notes will be convertible only upon certain circumstances and during certain periods. On or after August 15, 2025 and through the Maturity Date, holders may convert any of their Convertible Notes into shares of the Company’s common stock, at the applicable conversion rate at any time prior to the close of business on the second scheduled trading day prior to the Maturity Date, unless the Convertible Notes have been previously purchased or redeemed by the Company. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company recorded coupon interest expense of $0.9 million and amortized $0.4 million of the $7.5 million debt issuance costs related to the Convertible Notes Offering. Including the amortization of the debt issuance costs, the current effective interest rate on the Convertible Notes is approximately 2.00%.

The initial conversion rate of the Convertible Notes is 83.4028 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of $11.99 per share of common stock based on the 37.5% base conversion premium on the reference price of $8.72 per share. In no event will the conversion rate exceed 114.6788 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes, subject to certain adjustments defined in the Convertible Notes Offering.

~~Financial~~On January 7, 2021, in connection with the pricing of the Convertible Notes, and ~~Other Covenants.~~ ~~In addition,~~on January 8, 2021, in connection with the ~~Borrower is~~full exercise by the Underwriters of their option to purchase additional Convertible Notes pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Company entered into privately negotiated capped call transactions (the “Capped Call Transactions”) with certain of the underwriters or their respective affiliates and another financial institution (the “Capped Call Counterparties”). The Capped Call Transactions initially cover, subject to anti-dilution adjustments substantially similar to those applicable to the Convertible Notes, the number of shares of common stock underlying the Convertible Notes. The Capped Call Transactions are generally expected to reduce the potential dilution to holders of shares of common stock upon conversion of the Convertible Notes or offset the potential cash payments that the Company could be required to ~~comply~~make in excess of the principal amount of any converted Convertible Notes upon conversion thereof, with such reduction or offset subject to a series of financial and other covenants in order to borrow under the Joint Venture Credit Facility. Pursuant to the JV Second Amendment, certain financial and other covenants under the Joint Venture Credit Facility were waived or adjusted, for the periods described below:cap.

•~~Temporary waivers~~The effective strike price of the ~~Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio covenant~~Capped Call Transactions is initially $15.26, which represents a premium of 75.0% over the last reported sale price of the common stock on the New York Stock Exchange on January 7, 2021, and is subject to certain ~~other covenants in~~adjustments under the ~~Joint Venture Credit Facility for~~terms of the ~~period June 18, 2020 until the date the Borrower is required to deliver to the lenders a compliance certificate for the period ending June 30, 2021 (“Covenant Waiver Period”); and~~

•~~Adjustments to the Borrowing Base Coverage Ratio beginning on June 18, 2020, and adjusting up through June 30, 2022.~~Capped Call transactions.

Certain other typical limitations and conditions for credit facilities of this nature were included among the provisions in the JV Second Amendment including, among other provisions, limitations on the use of revolving facility advances, certain restrictions on payments of dividends and limitations on investments and dispositions.

~~We retain the right to opt out of certain additional restrictive covenants upon demonstration of compliance with the required financial covenants.~~

~~At June 30, 2020, we were in compliance with all financial covenants.~~

~~Metabank~~MetaBank Loan

On June 30, 2017, we entered into a $47.6 million secured, non-recourse loan with MetaBank (the "MetaBank Loan"). ~~During the year ended December 31, 2017, we drew $47.6 million on the MetaBank Loan and used the proceeds to pay down the principal balance of our former $300 million revolving credit facility.~~ The MetaBank Loan provides for a fixed interest rate of 4.44% and originally provided for ~~interest-only~~interest only payments for 18 months following the closing date. On January 31, 2019, we entered into a modification agreement, at no additional cost, that increased the interest-only period from 18 months to 24 months following the closing date. Beginning August 1, 2019, the loan amortizes over 25 years through the maturity date of July 1, 2027. The MetaBank Loan is secured by 3 hotels and is subject to a prepayment penalty if prepaid prior to April 1, 2027. On May 1, 2020, MetaBank waived the annual minimum debt service covenant ratio for the year ended December 31, 2020, and on April 12, 2021, MetaBank extended such waiver for the year ended December 31, 2021. The next covenant measurement date is December 31, 2022.

Mortgage Loans

At ~~June 30, 2020,~~March 31, 2021, we had mortgage loans totaling ~~$155.9~~$153.0 million that are secured primarily by first mortgage liens on 15

hotel properties.

On April 24, 2019, we repaid a mortgage loan with Compass Bank totaling $21.9 million that was secured by 3 hotel properties. There was no prepayment penalty associated with the repayment of this loan. After repayment of the mortgage loan, the three hotels were added to the Company’s Unencumbered Properties.

On April 11, 2019, we repaid a $10.6 million mortgage loan with U.S. Bank to release the encumbrance on the Hampton Inn in Goleta, CA to facilitate the sale of the property. As a result of this transaction, we incurred debt transaction costs of $1.0 million.

On March 19, 2019, we had a mortgage loan of $26.2 million that was secured by 4 hotel properties. We defeased $6.3 million of the principal to have the encumbrance released on one hotel property, the Hyatt Place in Arlington, TX, to facilitate the sale of the hotel property. As a result of this transaction, we recorded debt transaction costs of $0.6 million primarily related to the debt defeasance premium. The mortgage loan remains outstanding and is secured by the remaining 3 hotel properties.

Certain mortgage agreements are subject to various maintenance covenants requiring the Company to maintain a minimum debt yield or debt service coverage ratio ("DSCR"). Failure to meet the debt yield or DSCR thresholds is not an event of default, but instead triggers a cash trap event. During the cash trap event, the lender or servicer of the mortgage loan controls cash outflows until the loan is covenant compliant. Certain cash trap events have been triggered, but there are currently no defaults under any of the Company's mortgage loan agreements.

NOTE 6 - LEASES

The Company has operating leases related to the land under certain hotel properties, conference centers, parking spaces, automobiles, our corporate office and other miscellaneous office equipment. These leases have remaining terms of 1 year to 7877 years, some of which include options to extend the leases for additional years. The exercise of lease renewal options is at our sole discretion. Certain leases also include options to purchase the leased property. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet; we recognize lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Certain of our lease agreements include rental payments based on a percentage of revenue over contractual levels and others include rental payments adjusted periodically for inflation. Our lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or restrictive covenants that materially affect our business. In addition, we rent or sublease certain owned real estate to third parties. We recorded gross third-party tenant income of $0.6 million and $0.5 million during ~~each of~~ the three ~~month-periods ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 and $1.0 million and $0.9 million during the six~~ months ended ~~June 30,~~March 31, 2021 and 2020, ~~and 2019,~~ respectively, which were recorded in Other income in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.

The majority of our third-party tenants requested rent deferrals to ease the negative financial effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on their businesses. We have generally negotiated ~~rent deferrals~~ with these tenants and granted rent deferrals that defer rent for a specified number of months and require repayment of the deferred rent over a negotiated period of time.

On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASC No. 842, Leases, and recognized right-of-use lease assets and related liabilities. The right-of-use assets and related liabilities include renewal options reasonably certain to be exercised. We base our lease calculations on our estimated incremental borrowing rate. As of ~~June 30, 2020,~~March 31, 2021, our weighted average incremental borrowing rate was ~~4.9%~~4.91%.

During the three months ended ~~June 30,~~March 31, 2021 and 2020, ~~and 2019,~~ the Company's total operating lease cost was ~~$0.7~~$0.8 million and ~~$0.8~~$0.9 million, respectively, and the operating cash outflows from operating leases was ~~$0.6~~$0.7 million and $0.7 million, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company's total operating lease cost was $1.6 million and $1.8 million, respectively, and the operating cash outflows from operating leases was $1.4 million and $1.6$0.8 million, respectively. As of ~~June 30, 2020,~~March 31, 2021, the weighted average operating lease term was ~~28.3~~28.2 years.

On January 31, 2019, we exercised our option pursuant to a ground lease agreement to purchase the land upon which our hotel property in Baltimore (Hunt Valley), MD is located for $4.2 million, which resulted in a termination of obligations under the ground lease.

Operating lease maturities as of ~~June 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021 are as follows (in thousands):

Our interest rate swaps have been designated as cash flow hedges and are valued using a market approach, which is a Level 2 valuation technique. At ~~June 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021 and December 31, ~~2019,~~2020, all of our interest rate swaps were in a liability position as a result of a decline in short-term interest rates and a continued flattening of the forward yield curve. Our interest rate swaps are recorded in Accrued expenses and other in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. We are not required to post any collateral related to these agreements and are not in breach of any financial provisions of the agreements.

Changes in the fair value of the hedging instruments are deferred in Other comprehensive income and are reclassified to Interest expense in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations in the period in which the hedged item affects earnings. In the next twelve months, we estimate that $9.3 million will be reclassified from Other comprehensive income and recorded as an increase to Interest expense.

The Company is authorized to issue up to 500,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per ~~share.~~share (the "Common Stock"). Each outstanding share of our ~~common stock~~Common Stock entitles the holder to ~~one~~1 vote on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders, including the election of directors and, except as may be provided with respect to any other class or series of stock, the holders of such shares possess the exclusive voting power.

On May 25, 2017, the Company and the Operating Partnership entered into separate sales agreements (collectively, the “Sales Agreements”) with several underwriters (the “Sales Agents”), pursuant to which the Company may sell our Common Stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $200.0 million (the “Shares”), from time to time through the Sales Agents, each acting as a sales agent and/or principal (the "2017 ATM Program"). To date, we have not sold any shares of our Common Stock under the 2017 ATM Program.

Changes in ~~common stock~~Common Stock during the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30,~~March 31, 2021 and 2020 ~~and 2019~~ were as follows:

Preferred Stock

The Company is authorized to issue up to 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.01 par value per share, of which 90,600,000 is currently undesignated, 3,000,000 shares have been designated as 6.45% Series D Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (the "Series D preferred shares") and 6,400,000 shares have been designated as 6.25% Series E Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (the "Series E preferred shares").

The Company's outstanding shares of preferred stock (collectively, “Preferred Shares”) rank senior to our common stock and on parity with each other with respect to the payment of dividends and distributions of assets in the event of a liquidation, dissolution, or winding up. The Preferred Shares do not have any maturity date and are not subject to mandatory redemption or sinking fund requirements. The Company may not redeem the Series D or Series E preferred shares prior to June 28, 2021 and November 13, 2022, respectively, except in limited circumstances relating to the Company’s continuing qualification as a REIT or in connection with certain changes in control. After those dates, the Company may, at its option, redeem the applicable Preferred Shares, in whole or from time to time in part, by payment of $25 per share, plus any accumulated, accrued and unpaid distributions up to, but not including, the date of redemption. If the Company does not exercise its rights to redeem the Preferred Shares upon certain changes in control, the holders of the Preferred Shares have the right to convert some or all of

their shares into a number of the Company’s common shares based on a defined formula, subject to a share cap, or alternative consideration. The share cap on each Series D preferred share is 3.9216 shares of common stock and each Series E preferred share is 3.1686 shares of common stock, all subject to certain adjustments.

The Company pays dividends at an annual rate of $1.6125 for each Series D preferred share and $1.5625 for each Series E preferred share. Dividend payments are made quarterly in arrears on or about the last day of February, May, August and November of each year.

Non-controlling Interests in Operating Partnership

Pursuant to the limited partnership agreement of our Operating Partnership, the unaffiliated third parties who hold Common Units in our Operating Partnership have the right to cause us to redeem their Common Units in exchange for cash based upon the fair value of an equivalent number of our shares of ~~common stock~~Common Stock at the time of redemption; however, the Company has the option to redeem Common Units with shares of our ~~common stock~~Common Stock on a 1-for-one basis. The number of shares of our ~~common stock~~Common Stock issuable upon redemption of Common Units may be adjusted upon the occurrence of certain events such as share dividend payments, share subdivisions or combinations.

At ~~June 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021 and December 31, ~~2019,~~2020, unaffiliated third parties owned ~~175,442 and 209,021~~161,742 Common Units of the Operating Partnership, ~~respectively,~~ representing less than a 1% limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership for each period.

We classify outstanding Common Units held by unaffiliated third parties as Non-controlling interests in the Operating Partnership, a component of equity in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The portion of net income allocated to these Common Units is reported on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations as Net income attributable to non-controlling interests of the Operating Partnership.

Non-controlling Interests in Joint Venture

In July 2019, the Company entered into a joint venture agreement with GIC, Singapore’s sovereign wealth fund, to acquire assets that align with the Company’s current investment strategy and criteria. The Company serves as general partner and asset manager of the joint venture and intends to invest 51% of the equity capitalization of the limited partnership, with GIC investing the remaining 49%. The Company earns fees for providing services to the joint venture and will have the potential to earn incentive fees based on the joint venture achieving certain return thresholds. As of ~~June 30, 2020,~~March 31, 2021, the joint venture owns the 5 hotel properties acquired in 2019.

The joint venture owns the hotels through a master real estate investment trust (“Master REIT”) and subsidiary REITs (“Subsidiary REIT”). All of the hotels owned by the joint venture are leased to taxable REIT subsidiaries of the Subsidiary REITs (“Subsidiary REIT TRSs”). To qualify as a REIT, the Master REIT and each Subsidiary REIT must meet all of the REIT requirements summarized under “Note 2 - Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies - Income Taxes.” Taxable income related to the Subsidiary REIT TRSs is subject to federal, state and local income taxes at applicable tax rates.

We classify the Non-controlling interests in the joint venture as a component of equity in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The portion of net income (losses) allocated to these non-controlling interests is reported on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations as Net income (losses) attributable to non-controlling interests of the joint venture.

NOTE 9 - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

The following table presents information about our financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis at ~~June 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021 and December 31, ~~2019.~~2020. In instances in which the inputs used to measure fair value fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy, we classify assets and liabilities based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Our 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.

Disclosures concerning financial instruments measured at fair value are as follows (in thousands):

Our Purchase Options related to real estate loans do not have readily determinable fair values. The original fair value of each Purchase Option was estimated using a binomial lattice or Black-Scholes model.

One of the real estate loans was repaid in full during the year ended December 31, 2020 and the related Purchase Option expired without being exercised.

Due to the adverse effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, we evaluated our Purchase Options for impairment during the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30,~~March 31, 2020. The fair value of each Purchase Option was estimated using the Black-Scholes model. The estimated fair values of the Purchase Options were based on unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market information available and required us to develop our own assumptions as follows (dollar amounts in thousands):

NOTE 10 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Restricted Cash

The Company maintains reserve funds for property taxes, insurance, capital expenditures and replacement or refurbishment of furniture, fixtures and equipment at some of our hotel properties in accordance with management, franchise or mortgage loan agreements. These agreements generally require us to reserve cash ranging from 2%2.0% to 5%5.0% of the revenues of the individual hotel in restricted cash escrow accounts. Any unused restricted cash balances revert to us upon the termination of the underlying agreement or may be released to us from the restricted cash escrow accounts upon proof of expenditures and approval from the lender or other party requiring the restricted cash reserves.

On April 13, 2020, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, Marriott International, Inc. (“Marriott”) agreed to allow us to use $1.6 million of cash deposited in FF&E Reserve Accounts for 7 of our Marriott-branded hotels managed by Marriott affiliates (“Marriott Hotels”) to pay for the working capital needs of the respective hotels. In addition, Marriott released $8.9 million to us from the FF&E Reserve Accounts (“Borrowed Reserve”) of the Marriott Hotels for general operational purposes. The Borrowed Reserve must be replenished into the respective FF&E Reserve Accounts in ~~ten~~10 equal monthly installments beginning on the date that is twelve months prior to the next scheduled renovation date for each of the Marriott Hotels (“Renovation Date”) or in a lump sum payment no later than sixty days prior to each respective Renovation Date. We do not expect to replenish any of the Borrowed Reserve over the next twelve months.

Furthermore, Marriott has suspended our obligation to fund monthly FF&E reserves for the Marriott Hotels through ~~August~~December 31, ~~2020.~~2021. During January 2021, we transitioned the management of the Courtyard by Marriott - Fort Worth, TX from Marriott to Aimbridge Hospitality. As such, we are no longer obligated to replenish $0.5 million of the Borrowed Reserve.

At ~~June 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021 and December 31, ~~2019,~~2020, approximately ~~$18.7~~$20.0 million and ~~$27.6~~$18.2 million, respectively, was available in restricted cash reserve funds required by certain of our property managers, franchisors, or mortgage lenders for property taxes, insurance, capital expenditures and replacement or refurbishment of furniture, fixtures and equipment at our hotel properties.

Franchise Agreements

We expensed fees related to our franchise agreements of ~~$2.4~~$4.1 million and ~~$12.5~~$9.5 million for the three months ended ~~June 30,~~March 31, 2021 and 2020, ~~and 2019, respectively, and $11.9 million and $24.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019,~~ respectively.

Management Agreements

Our hotel properties operate pursuant to management agreements with various professional third-party management companies. We pay base management fees that are a percentage of gross room revenues and incentive management fees based on achievement of certain financial targets pursuant to contracts that generally have remaining terms of less than five years. Management fee expenses were ~~$0.6~~$1.6 million and ~~$4.5~~$3.1 million for the three months ended ~~June 30,~~March 31, 2021 and 2020, ~~and 2019, respectively, and $3.7 million and $9.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019,~~ respectively.

Litigation

We are involved from time to time in litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. There are currently no pending legal actions that we believe would have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.

Our currently outstanding equity-based awards were issued under the Equity Plan which provides for the granting of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, dividend equivalent rights, and other equity-based awards or incentive awards.

Stock options granted may be either incentive stock options or non-qualified stock options. Vesting terms may vary with each grant, and stock option terms are generally five to ten years. We have outstanding equity-based awards in the form of ~~stock options and~~ restricted stock awards. All of our outstanding equity-based awards are classified as equity awards.

The awards granted to our non-executive employees generally vest over a four-year period based on continuous service (20% on the first, second and third anniversary of the grant date and 40% on the fourth anniversary of the grant date).

The awards granted to our executive officers generally vest over a three-year period based on continuous service (25% on the first and second anniversary of the grant date and 50% on the third anniversary of the grant date) or in certain circumstances upon a change in control.

The holders of these awards have the right to vote the related shares of common stock and receive all dividends declared and paid whether or not vested. The fair value of time-based restricted stock awards granted is calculated based on the market value of our common stock on the date of grant.

Performance-Based Restricted Stock Awards Made Pursuant to Our Equity Plan

(1) The amounts included in this column represent the expected future value of the performance-based restricted stock awards calculated using the Monte Carlo simulation valuation model.

Our performance-based restricted stock awards are market-based awards and are accounted for based on the fair value of our common stock on the grant date. The fair value of the performance-based restricted stock awards granted was estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation valuation model. These awards generally vest over a three-year period based on our percentile ranking within the SNL U.S. REIT Hotel Index at the end of the period or upon a change in control. The awards require continued service during the measurement period and are subject to the other conditions described in the Equity Plan or award document.

The number of shares the executive officers may earn under these awards range from 0 shares to twice the number of shares granted based on our percentile ranking within the index at the end of the measurement period. In addition, a portion of the performance-based shares may be earned based on the Company's absolute total shareholder return calculated during the

performance period. The holders of these grants have the right to vote the granted shares of common stock and any dividends declared will be accumulated and will be subject to the same vesting conditions as the awards. Further, if additional shares are earned based on our percentile ranking within the index, dividend payments will be issued as if the additional shares had been held throughout the measurement period.

NOTE 12 - INCOME TAXES

As a REIT, we generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on ordinary income and capital gains income generated by our REIT activities that we distribute to our stockholders. We are subject to federal and state income taxes on the earnings of our TRS Lessees. In addition, our Operating Partnership is subject to tax in a limited number of local and state jurisdictions.

The Company recorded ~~an income tax benefit of $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and an~~ income tax expense of ~~$0.7~~$0.1 million and $2.0 million for three months ended ~~June 30, 2019. The Company recorded income tax expense of $1.7 million~~March 31, 2021 and ~~$1.1 million for the six months ended June 30,~~ 2020, ~~and 2019,~~ respectively. The ~~$1.7~~$2.0 million income tax expense ~~includes~~recorded in the three months ended March 31, 2020 included a $2.1 million discrete non-cash deferred income tax related to the establishment of valuation allowances against our TRS Lessees’ deferred tax ~~assets recorded during the quarter ended March 31, 2020.~~assets. Due to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, certain of our TRS Lessees have incurred operating losses in the past and are expected to be in a cumulative loss for the foreseeable future. A cumulative loss is significant negative evidence that the realizability of our deferred tax assets at ~~June 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021 is not reasonably assured. Therefore, we have recorded a valuation allowance against substantially all our deferred tax assets at ~~June 30, 2020.~~March 31, 2021.

We had 0 unrecognized tax benefits at ~~June 30, 2020.~~March 31, 2021. We expect no significant changes in unrecognized tax benefits within the next year.

The ~~business tax provisions~~American Rescue Plan Act of ~~the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act ("CARES Act"), which~~2021 was signed into law on March ~~27, 2020, include temporary changes to income and non-income-based tax laws.~~11, 2021. Some of the key income tax provisions include:

•Eliminating the 80% of taxable income limitations by allowing corporate entities to fully utilize net operating loss (NOL) carryforwards to offset taxable income in 2018, 2019, or 2020, and reinstating it for tax years after 2020;

•~~Allowing NOLs generated in 2018, 2019, or 2020, to be carried back five years;~~

•~~Increasing the net interest expense deduction limit to 50% of adjusted taxable income from 30% for the 2019 and 2020 tax years;~~

•~~Allowing taxpayers with alternative minimum tax credits to claim a refund for the entire amount~~An extension of the ~~credit instead of recovering the credit through refunds over a period of years, as required by the 2017 Tax Cut and Jobs Act;~~

•~~Allowing entities to deduct more of their charitable cash contributions made during calendar year 2020 by increasing the taxable income limitation to 25% from 10%; and~~

•~~Providing for an~~ employee retention tax credit ~~to offset the employer's share of payroll taxes~~through 2021. To be eligible for the ~~period between March 13, 2020 and December 31, 2020.~~credit in 2021, an organization’s gross receipts must be less than 80% of the same quarter in 2019. The credit is calculated based on ~~50%~~70% of qualifying wages, capped at ~~the first~~ $10,000 of ~~compensation.~~

compensation each quarter in 2021. We anticipate ~~that our TRS Lessees will generate~~ a ~~net operating loss~~credit of approximately $1.3 million in ~~2020. As such, we expect a $1.0~~2021.

•Expanded limits on executive compensation deductions. Section 162(m) limits the deduction for compensation paid to each covered employee to $1 million ~~future~~for public companies. Covered employees generally include the CEO, CFO, and the next three highest paid officers as determined under the SEC rules. For tax ~~benefit from~~years after December 31, 2026, Section 162(m) applies to the ~~NOL carry-back provisions provided in~~CEO, CFO, and the ~~CARES Act.~~next five highest paid employees.

NOTE 13 - EARNINGS PER SHARE

We apply the two-class method of computing earnings per share, which requires the calculation of separate earnings per share amounts for our non-vested time-based restricted stock awards with non-forfeitable dividends and for our common stock. Our non-vested time-based restricted stock awards with non-forfeitable rights to dividends are considered securities which participate in undistributed earnings with common stock. Under the two-class computation method, net losses are not allocated to participating securities unless the holder of the security has a contractual obligation to share in the losses. Our non-vested time-based restricted stock awards with non-forfeitable dividends do not have such an obligation so they are not allocated losses.

Below is a summary of the components used to calculate basic and diluted earnings per share (in thousands, except per share):

Overview

Summit Hotel Properties, Inc. is a self-managed hotel investment company that was organized in June 2010 and completed its initial public offering in February 2011. We focus on owning primarily premium-branded, select-service hotels. At ~~June 30, 2020,~~March 31, 2021, our portfolio consisted of 72 hotels with a total of 11,288 guestrooms located in 23 states. We own our hotels in fee simple, except for four hotels which are subject to ground leases. As of ~~June 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021, we own 100% of the outstanding equity interests in 67 of our 72 hotels. We own a 51% controlling interest in five hotels acquired in 2019 through a joint venture. Our hotels are typically located in markets with multiple demand generators such as corporate offices and headquarters, retail centers, airports, state capitols, convention centers, and leisure attractions.

Our hotels operate under premium franchise brands owned by Marriott® International, Inc. (“Marriott”), Hilton® Worldwide (“Hilton”), Hyatt® Hotels Corporation (“Hyatt”) and InterContinental® Hotels Group (“IHG”).

We have elected to be taxed as a REIT for federal income tax purposes commencing with our short taxable year ended December 31, 2011. To qualify as a REIT, we cannot operate or manage our hotels. Accordingly, all of our hotels are leased to our taxable REIT subsidiaries ("TRS Lessees"). All of our hotels are operated pursuant to hotel management agreements between our TRS Lessees and professional third-party hotel management companies that are not affiliated with us as follows:

Our typical hotel management agreement requires us to pay a base fee to our hotel manager calculated as a percentage of hotel revenues. In addition, our hotel management agreements generally provide that the hotel manager can earn an incentive fee for revenue or Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization ("EBITDA") over certain thresholds or based on a return over our required preferred return. Our TRS Lessees may employ other hotel managers in the future. We do not, and will not, have any ownership or economic interest in any of the hotel management companies engaged by our TRS Lessees.

Our revenues are derived from hotel operations and consist of room revenue, food and beverage revenue and other hotel operations revenue. Revenues from our other hotel operations consist of ancillary revenues related to meeting rooms and other customer services provided at certain of our hotel properties.

Industry Trends and Outlook

Room-night demand in the U.S. lodging industry is generally correlated to certain macroeconomic trends. Key drivers of lodging demand include changes in gross domestic product, corporate profits, capital investments, employment and ~~employment.~~more recently, travel-related health and safety restrictions. Volatility in the economy and risks arising from global and domestic political or economic conditions may cause slowing economic growth, which would have an adverse effect on lodging demand. ~~During the first half of 2020, the~~The global and U.S. economies, and the travel and lodging industries, have experienced a significant downturn as a result of the COVID-19 global ~~pandemic.~~pandemic, which is expected to continue until an effective vaccine is more broadly distributed, government restrictions are lifted, consumer confidence is restored and a recovery in hospitality and travel-related demand occurs. During the first quarter of 2021, we began to see a more significant recovery in leisure demand, which we expect to continue in the summer months. However, corporate transient and group demand remains significantly reduced from historical levels and is expected to recover later and more slowly than leisure demand.

Effects of COVID-19 Pandemic on Our Business

On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization (“WHO”) declared a public health emergency of international concern related to a novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”), and on March 11, 2020, the WHO declared COVID-19 to be a pandemic. By March 31, 2020, stay-at-home directives had been issued in many states across the United States and many local jurisdictions had additionally required the temporary closure of businesses deemed to be non-essential. In April 2020, certain states began to issue guidelines and implement plans for allowing businesses and other activities in their states to re-open or resume in various phases. However, beginning in June 2020, surges in new COVID-19 cases slowed the pace of the nascent economic recovery and delayed or reversed the resumption of certain activities and business re-openings across the country.

~~These actions and~~The restrictions implemented in response to the COVID-19 pandemic have had a significant negative effect on the U.S. and global economies, including a rapid and sharp decline in all forms of travel, both domestic and international, and a significant decline in ~~the demand for hotels and guestrooms.~~hotel demand. These conditions have resulted in a substantial decline in our revenues, profitability and cash flows from operations.

The COVID-19 pandemic caused the Company to temporarily suspend operations ~~during~~at six hotels containing 934 guestrooms in March 2020. An additional nine hotels, containing 1,278 guestrooms, each of which is adjacent to another of our hotels ("Sister Properties"), continued to accept reservations, but guests were directed to Sister Properties. In May of 2020, five hotels containing 682 guestrooms and four hotel properties adjacent to Sister Properties containing 506 guestrooms were re-opened.

Management’s Actions in Response to the Effects of COVID-19 on Our Operations

We have taken the following actions to mitigate the negative effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows:

Operational Adjustments

On March 25, 2020, we announced that, due to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, we had suspended operations at certain hotels in response to specific government mandates or as the result of adverse market conditions. In response to the rapid decline in demand for room nights and loss of revenues as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we, along with our property managers, evaluated each hotel in our portfolio to determine if market conditions warranted the temporary suspension of operations, and to adjust ~~the~~ labor cost ~~structures. We temporarily suspended full operational capabilities at six~~structures for hotels ~~containing 934 guestrooms. At an additional nine of our hotels containing 1,278 guestrooms~~ that ~~are located in direct proximity~~would continue to ~~another~~

one of our hotels (“Sister Properties”), reservations continued to be accepted but guests were directed to Sister Properties. During the second quarter ended June 30, 2020, five hotels containing 682 guestrooms and four hotel properties adjacent to Sister Properties containing 506 guestrooms were re-opened.

operate. Although the vast majority of our hotels have remained open, staffing levels have been ~~significantly~~ reduced to levels that safely and effectively maintain reasonable accommodations for our ~~guests. As such, our open hotels are generally operating with limited employees per shift and a limited housekeeping staff that are performing all the~~guests, including essential hotel functions ~~including enhanced~~such as cleaning and disinfecting to mitigate the spread of COVID-19. As demand at our hotels has increased, we have also increased staffing commensurately.

Financial Measures and Liquidity

We ~~have taken~~took significant ~~and decisive~~ action to enhance our overall liquidity position in response to the COVID-19 pandemic’s ~~initial effects and anticipated future effects~~effect on our financial position. The following is a summary of certain measures that we have adopted in order to ~~enhance~~improve our overall liquidity position:

•We ~~borrowed an additional net amount~~further amended loan agreements of ~~$125.0 million on~~our 2018 Senior Credit Facility, 2017 Term Loan and 2018 Term Loan (each as defined in "Note 5 – Debt" to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements) in February 2021 to provide for financial covenant waivers through March 31, 2022, to obtain certain modifications to financial covenant measures through December 31, 2023 and to access the full borrowing capacity under our $400 million ~~unsecured~~ revolving credit facility ("(“$400 Million Revolver”) ~~during the six months ended June 30, 2020 as a precautionary measure~~subject to ~~provide sufficient liquidity to meet our funding needs for at least the next twelve months.~~certain conditions. At ~~July 31, 2020,~~May 1, 2021, we had ~~$117.3~~$50.4 million of consolidated unrestricted cash on hand and an additional ~~$150.0~~$390.0 million of undrawn availability on our $400 Million ~~Revolver, as amended by the First Amendment (as defined below).~~Revolver. We have no debt maturing before November 2022.

•We amended loan agreements of our 2018 Unsecured Credit Facility, 2017 Term Loan and 2018 Term Loan to provide for financial covenant waivers through March 31, 2021, to modify or waive compliance with certain financial covenant measures for the final three quarters of 2021 and to access additional borrowing capacity of $150.0 million under our $400 Million Revolver.

•Wefurther amended our joint venture credit agreement in April 2021 to provide for ~~a financial covenant waiver through March 31, 2021, to modify~~ certain financial covenant ~~measures through June 30, 2022,~~waivers and adjustments as described below.

•We completed the offering of $287.5 million of Convertible Notes (as defined below) in January 2021 and used a portion of the proceeds to repay the outstanding borrowings under our $400 Million Revolver and to ~~access additional~~partially repay outstanding balances under our term loan obligations. These transactions ensured the availability of sufficient capacity under the $400 Million Revolver to ~~fund operating expense deficits and various capital expenditures.~~provide adequate liquidity should we experience a prolonged disruption in lodging demand.

•We suspended the declaration and payment of dividends on our common stock and operating partnership ~~units.~~units beginning in the first quarter of 2020. This ~~will conserve~~conserves an additional $19.0 million of cash quarterly, or $75.0 million on an annualized basis.

•We postponed ~~all~~ non-essential capital improvement projects ~~planned for 2020~~ beyond those already substantially complete ~~which is expected~~and continue to ~~reduce previously planned total~~adjust capital ~~expenditures by at least $35.0 million, or over 50% based on the midpoint of our previously provided guidance range of total capital expenditures for 2020.~~improvement spending in response to changes in demand.

•We adopted comprehensive cost reduction initiatives, including the reduction of labor and temporary elimination of certain services and amenities, at all hotels. Certain labor costs and services or amenities have been added back on a limited basis as improvements in occupancy levels have supported. As described above, we temporarily suspended operations at certain hotels in response to specific government mandates or as the result of adverse market conditions.

•We implemented a voluntary ~~25%~~ temporary reduction of base salaries and fees, respectively, for executive officers and independent members of the Board of Directors ~~in April~~for a portion of 2020.

•We furloughed approximately 25% of the corporate-level staff in April 2020. Certain of the furloughed staff ~~have been~~were reinstated during ~~the second quarter of~~ 2020 to meet specific needs of the Company as supported by our operating performance, but the majority of the furloughed ~~staff remain inactive. Temporary~~positions were permanently eliminated during the third quarter.

•We implemented temporary salary reductions for the majority of our remaining non-executive employees ~~were also implemented in April~~for a portion of 2020.

•We implemented a temporary hiring freeze for any new corporate-level positions.

~~We are currently in compliance with all of our financial covenants under our various loan and mortgage agreements. We amended our loan agreements as follows:~~

~~First Amendment to $600.0 Million Senior Unsecured Credit Facility~~

On May 7, 2020, the Operating Partnership, as borrower, the Company, as parent guarantor, and each party executing the credit facility documentation as a subsidiary guarantor entered into the First Amendment to Credit Agreement (the “First Amendment”) of the Operating Partnership’s $600 million senior unsecured credit facility ( the "2018 Unsecured Credit Facility") with Deutsche Bank AG New York Branch, as administrative agent, and a syndicate of lenders.

~~The First Amendment provides that certain financial and other covenants under the 2018 Unsecured Credit Facility were waived or adjusted, for the periods described below:~~

•~~Waivers of all financial and certain other covenants in the 2018 Unsecured Credit Facility for the period April 1, 2020 through March 31, 2021; and~~

•~~Adjustments to certain financial covenants for the period April 1, 2021 through December 31, 2021 including:~~

◦~~Increases in the Maximum Leverage Ratio, partially adjusting down beginning in the third quarter of 2021;~~

◦~~Reduction of the Minimum Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio;~~

◦~~Increase of the Maximum Unsecured Leverage Ratio; and~~

◦~~Reduction of the Minimum Unsecured Interest Coverage Ratio;~~

•~~Increases to the Maximum Leverage Ratio for the calendar year 2022, adjusting down throughout 2022.~~

~~The interest rate during the periods of the financial and covenant waivers and adjustments will be set at Pricing Level VII, as defined in the 2018 Unsecured Credit Facility documents.~~

The First Amendment requires the borrower and certain subsidiaries to pledge to the secured parties all of the equity interests in the entities that own all properties included in the unencumbered asset pool supporting the facility (“Unencumbered Properties”), as well as the equity interests in the TRS lessees related to such Unencumbered Properties until the borrower meets certain conditions for their release.

The First Amendment confirmed that the borrower may advance up to an additional $100 million on the existing revolving facility. Furthermore, the First Amendment permits the borrower to advance an additional $50 million, in addition to the $100 million advance described in the preceding sentence, upon filing mortgages and related security agreements on all Unencumbered Properties, with such security documents to be released upon the borrower meeting certain conditions for their release.

Certain other typical limitations and conditions for credit facilities of this nature were included among the provisions in the First Amendment including, among other provisions, limitations on the use of revolving facility advances, certain restrictions on payments of dividends and establishment of a minimum liquidity requirement.

~~Third Amendment to $225.0 Million 2018 Term Loan~~

On May 7, 2020, the Operating Partnership, as borrower, the Company, as parent guarantor, and each party executing the credit facility documentation as a subsidiary guarantor entered into the Third Amendment to the First Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Third Amendment”) of the Operating Partnership’s $225 million 2018 term loan ( the "2018 Term Loan") with KeyBank National Association, as administrative agent, and a syndicate of lenders. The changes to the 2018 Term Loan effected by the Third Amendment are substantially similar to the changes described above effected by the First Amendment to the Company’s 2018 Unsecured Credit Facility.

~~Second Amendment to $225.0 Million 2017 Term Loan~~

On May 7, 2020, the Operating Partnership, as borrower, the Company, as parent guarantor, and each party executing the credit facility documentation as a subsidiary guarantor entered into the Second Amendment to the Credit Agreement (the “Second Amendment”) of the Operating Partnership’s $225 million 2017 term loan (the "2017 Term Loan") with KeyBank National Association, as administrative agent, and a syndicate of lenders. The changes to the 2017 Term Loan effected by the Second Amendment are substantially similar to the changes described above effected by the First Amendment to the Company’s 2018 Unsecured Credit Facility.

~~Second Amendment to $200 Million Joint Venture Credit Facility~~

On June 18, 2020, Summit JV MR 1, LLC (the "Borrower"), as borrower, Summit Hospitality JV, LP, as parent, and each party executing the credit facility documentation as a subsidiary guarantor, entered into the Second Amendment to Credit Agreement (the “Second Amendment”) of the Borrower's $200 million senior credit facility (the "Joint Venture Credit Facility") with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, BofA Securities, Inc., as sole lead arranger and sole bookrunner, and a syndicate of lenders including Bank of America, N.A., KeyBank National Association, and Bank of Montreal, Chicago Branch.

~~Certain financial and other covenants under the Joint Venture Credit Facility were waived or adjusted, for the periods described below:~~

•Temporary waivers of the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio covenant and certain other covenants in the Joint Venture Credit Facility for the period June 18, 2020 until the date the Borrower is required to deliver to the lenders a compliance certificate for the period ending June 30, 2021 (“Covenant Waiver Period”); and

•~~Adjustments to the Borrowing Base Coverage Ratio beginning on June 18, 2020, and adjusting up through June 30, 2022.~~

The Second Amendment confirmed that the Borrower may make additional advances on the existing revolving facility. Prior to the expiration of the Covenant Waiver Period, advances are limited to the lesser of the aggregate facility amount and the aggregate Borrowing Base Asset Value multiplied by 55%, less all outstanding advances. Upon the expiration of the Covenant Waiver Period, advances are limited to the lesser of the aggregate facility amount, the aggregate Borrowing Base Asset Value multiplied by 55%, and the amount that would permit the Borrower to achieve the Borrowing Base Coverage Ratio then applicable, less all outstanding advances.

Certain other typical limitations and conditions for credit facilities of this nature were included among the provisions in the Second Amendment including, among other provisions, limitations on the use of revolving facility advances, certain restrictions on payments of dividends and limitations on investments and dispositions.

~~We retain the right to opt out of certain additional restrictive covenants upon demonstration of compliance with the required financial covenants.~~

We expect that the operational, financial and liquidity measures that we have taken will allow us to meet our funding needs for ~~at least~~ the ~~next twelve months.~~foreseeable future. However, there is substantial uncertainty as to how long the economic hardship caused by the COVID-19 pandemic will last and the timing and rate of an economic recovery afterwards. As such, there can be no assurance that we will be able to maintain sufficient liquidity or secure additional capital in the future that may be necessary to operate our business without experiencing further deterioration of our operations, consolidated financial position or results of operations.

~~Use of FF&E Reserve Funds~~

On April 13, 2020, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, Marriott International, Inc. (“Marriott”) agreed to allow us to use $1.6 million of cash deposited in our restricted cash reserve for replacement of furniture, fixtures and equipment ("FF&E Reserve Accounts") for seven of our Marriott-branded hotels managed by Marriott affiliates (“Marriott Hotels”) to pay for the working capital needs of the respective hotels. In addition, Marriott released $8.9 million to us from the FF&E Reserve Accounts (“Borrowed Reserve”) of the Marriott Hotels for general operational purposes. The Borrowed Reserve must be replenished into the respective FF&E Reserve Accounts in ten equal monthly installments beginning on the date that is twelve months prior to the next scheduled renovation date for each of the Marriott Hotels (“Renovation Date”) or in a lump sum payment no later than sixty days prior to each respective Renovation Date. Furthermore, Marriott has suspended our obligation to fund monthly FF&E reserves for the Marriott Hotels through August 31, 2020.

~~Tax Relief~~

The business tax provisions of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act ("CARES Act"), which was signed into law on March 27, 2020, include temporary changes to income and non-income-based tax laws. Some of the key income tax provisions include:

•~~Allowing NOLs generated in 2018, 2019, or 2020, to be carried back five years;~~

•~~Increasing the net interest expense deduction limit to 50% of adjusted taxable income from 30% for the 2019 and 2020 tax years;~~

•Allowing taxpayers with alternative minimum tax credits to claim a refund for the entire amount of the credit instead of recovering the credit through refunds over a period of years, as required by the 2017 Tax Cut and Jobs Act;

•~~Allowing entities to deduct more of their charitable cash contributions made during calendar year 2020 by increasing the taxable income limitation to 25% from 10%; and~~

•Providing for an employee retention tax credit to offset the employer's share of payroll taxes for the period between March 13, 2020 and December 31, 2020. The credit is calculated based on 50% of qualifying wages, capped at the first $10,000 of compensation.

~~We anticipate that our TRS Lessees will generate a net operating loss in 2020. As such, we expect a $1.0 million future tax benefit from the NOL carry-back provisions provided in the CARES Act.~~

Modification of TRS Leases

All of our hotels are leased by either our ~~operating partnership, Summit Hotel OP, LP (“~~Operating ~~Partnership”),~~Partnership, or subsidiary REITs to our TRS Lessees. Economic challenges caused by the COVID-19 pandemic have resulted in the temporary suspension of operations of certain hotels and significantly reduced operations at the hotels that have remained open for business. ~~Many~~In December 2020, most of our TRS Lessees ~~have temporarily suspended their payments of rents and may require~~received rent abatements for rent deficiencies. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, prospective lease modifications ~~in the future~~were entered into with most of our TRS Lessees to reflect the current market conditions and better enable the TRS Lessees to manage their operations and cash flows at reduced levels. The ~~suspension~~deferral, abatement or modification of the rents related to our TRS Lessees has no effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations. However, it ~~will~~may increase the income of our TRS Lessees on a stand-alone basis.

Health and Well-being

All of our hotels are ~~branded~~licensed with national franchise brands and we have worked closely with our brand partners to develop and implement comprehensive protocols for the safety and well-being of employees and guests. The health and safety procedures at our hotels are designed and have been enhanced to address a broad spectrum of pathogens and viruses, including COVID-19, and include personal hygiene such as frequent and thorough hand-washing, cleaning product specifications, availability of disinfecting products for our guests, and guestroom and common area cleaning procedures. Our hotels have increased the frequency of cleaning throughout the hotels, with focused attention on high-touch areas such as entrances, public spaces, laundry rooms and staff offices. Additionally, many of our hotels have implemented contactless guest check-in and check-out and modified grab-and-go food and beverage offerings.

Forward-looking Information and Use of Estimates

The full effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on our Company will depend on future developments, such as the ultimate duration and scope of the outbreak, its effect on our customers, brands and business partners, the rate at which normal economic conditions, operations, and the demand for lodging resume, and the magnitude of the recessionary conditions in any of our markets. Accordingly, the full effects on our Company cannot be determined at this time; however, despite the uncertainty of the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, we expect our full year ~~2020~~2021 results of operations to be adversely affected. While the potential magnitude and duration of the business and economic effects of COVID-19 are uncertain, we believe that the nascent recovery in our business that began ~~in the second half of April~~during 2020 will continue into the ~~second half of 2020~~year ending December 31, 2021 and operating performance will improve gradually over a multi-year period before reaching prior peak performance levels. We believe that a recovery in business conditions resulting in positive operating cash flows, together with cash on hand, and the current availability under our credit facilities, will provide sufficient liquidity to fund operations for at least the next twelve months. There can be no assurance that the assumptions used to evaluate the carrying amounts of our assets or to estimate our liquidity requirements will be correct. For additional information on the current and potential future effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, please see Item 1A. Risk Factors.

Hotel Property Portfolio Activity

We continuously consider ways in which to refine our portfolio to drive growth and create value. In the normal course of business, we evaluate opportunities to acquire additional properties that meet our investment criteria and opportunities to recycle capital through the disposition of properties. As such, the composition and size of our portfolio of properties may change materially over time. Significant changes to our portfolio of properties could have a material effect on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

See “Note 3 - Investment in Hotel Properties, net” to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information concerning our asset acquisitions, development, and dispositions.

Results of Operations

The comparisons that follow should be reviewed in conjunction with the unaudited interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Changes from the three months ended ~~June 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021 compared with the three months ended ~~June 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 were due to the following:

•Revenues. The decline in ~~total and same-store~~ revenues was primarily due to a significant decline in occupancy as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. See "Industry Trends and Outlook - Effects of COVID-19 Pandemic on Our Business" for further information.

•RevPAR. The declines in RevPAR were primarily due to a significant decline in occupancy as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. See "Industry Trends and Outlook - Effects of COVID-19 Pandemic on Our Business" for further information.

•Expenses. We have taken comprehensive cost reduction initiatives, including the reduction of labor and temporary elimination of certain services and amenities, at all hotels which led to the significant decline in operating expenses.

This increase is due to incremental depreciation associated with the hotels acquired in 2019 of $6.2 million and an increase in depreciation expense of $1.2 million for the same-store portfolio, partially offset by a decrease in depreciation expense of $2.1 million related to the hotel properties sold after DecemberMarch 31, ~~2018.~~

•~~Corporate General and Administrative. This decline is primarily due to decreases in incentive and other compensation costs as a result of our comprehensive cost reduction initiatives in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.~~

•~~Provision for Credit Losses~~. We evaluated our notes receivable for potential credit losses by estimating the fair value of the collateral supporting each note receivable at June 30, 2020 based on assumptions related to the expected future performance of the collateral assets and the resulting anticipated net selling value of the assets at capitalization rates that are common for the asset class.

See "Note 94 - ~~Fair Value Measurement"~~Investment in Real Estate Loans" to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $1.7 million for the Hyatt Place - Chicago/Hoffman Estates to reduce the net carrying amount of the property to its estimated net fair market value of $5.9 million at June 30, 2019.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We disclose certain “non-GAAP financial measures,” which are measures of our historical financial performance. Non-GAAP financial measures are financial measures not prescribed by Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"). These measures are as follows: (i) Funds From Operations (“FFO”) and Adjusted Funds from Operations ("AFFO"), (ii) Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization ("EBITDA"), Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization for Real Estate ("EBITDAre") and Adjusted EBITDAre (as described below). We caution investors that amounts presented in accordance with our definitions of non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by other companies, since not all companies calculate these non-GAAP financial measures in the same manner. Our non-GAAP financial measures should be considered along with, but not as alternatives to, net income (loss) as a measure of our operating performance. Our 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, property acquisitions, debt service obligations and other commitments and uncertainties. Although we believe that our non-GAAP financial measures can enhance the understanding of our financial condition and results of operations, these non-GAAP financial measures are not necessarily better indicators of any trend as compared to a comparable measure prescribed by GAAP such as net income (loss).

FFO and AFFO

As defined by Nareit, FFO represents net income or loss (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding preferred dividends, gains (or losses) from sales of real property, impairment losses on real estate assets, items classified by GAAP as extraordinary, the cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles, plus depreciation and amortization related to real estate assets, and adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships, and joint ventures. AFFO represents FFO excluding amortization of deferred financing costs, franchise fees, equity-based compensation expense, debt transaction costs, premiums on redemption of preferred shares, losses from net casualties, non-cash lease expense, non-cash interest income and non-cash income tax related adjustments to our deferred tax assets. Unless otherwise indicated, we present FFO and AFFO applicable to our common shares and common units. We present FFO and AFFO because we consider FFO and AFFO important supplemental measures of our operational performance and believe they are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of REITs, many of which present FFO and AFFO when reporting their results. FFO and AFFO are intended to exclude GAAP historical cost depreciation and amortization, which assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes ratably over time. Historically, however, real estate values have risen or fallen with market conditions. Because FFO and AFFO exclude depreciation and amortization related to real estate assets, gains and losses from real property dispositions and impairment losses on real estate assets, FFO and AFFO provide performance measures that, when compared year over year, reflect the effect to operations from trends in occupancy, guestroom rates, operating costs, development activities and interest costs, providing perspective not immediately apparent from net income. Our computation of FFO differs slightly from the computation of Nareit-defined FFO related to the reporting of corporate depreciation and amortization ~~expense.~~expense, and adjustments related to provision for credit losses. Our computation of FFO may also differ from the methodology for calculating FFO used by other equity REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REITs. FFO and AFFO should not be considered as alternatives to net income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP) as an indicator of our liquidity, nor are they indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to pay dividends or make distributions. Where indicated in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, FFO is based on our computation of FFO and not the computation of Nareit-defined FFO unless otherwise noted.

EBITDA, EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre

EBITDA

EBITDA represents net income or loss, excluding: (i) interest, (ii) income tax expense and (iii) depreciation and amortization. We believe EBITDA is useful to an investor in evaluating our operating performance because it provides investors with an indication of our ability to incur and service debt, to satisfy general operating expenses, to make capital expenditures and to fund other cash needs or reinvest cash into our business. We also believe it helps investors meaningfully evaluate and compare the results of our operations from period to period by removing the effect of our asset base (primarily depreciation and amortization) from our operating results. Our management team also uses EBITDA as one measure in determining the value of acquisitions and dispositions.

EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre

EBITDAre is based on EBITDA and is expected to provide additional relevant information about REITs as real estate companies in support of growing interest among generalist investors. EBITDAre is intended to be a supplemental non-GAAP performance measure that is independent of a company’s capital structure and will provide a uniform basis to measure the enterprise value of a company compared to other REITs.

EBITDAre, as defined by Nareit, is calculated as EBITDA, excluding: (i) loss and gains on disposition of property and (ii) asset impairments, if any. We believe EBITDAre is useful to an investor in evaluating our operating performance because it provides investors with an indication of our ability to incur and service debt, to satisfy general operating expenses, to make capital expenditures and to fund other cash needs or reinvest cash into our business. We also believe it helps investors meaningfully evaluate and compare the results of our operations from period to period by removing the effect of our asset base (primarily depreciation and amortization) from our operating results.

We make additional adjustments to EBITDAre when evaluating our performance, such as adjustments related to the provision for credit losses, because we believe that the exclusion of certain additional non-recurring or certain non-cash items described below provides useful supplemental information to investors regarding our ongoing operating performance. We believe that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDAre, when combined with the primary GAAP presentation of net income, is useful to an investor in evaluating our operating performance because it provides investors with an indication of our ability to incur and service debt, to satisfy general operating expenses, to make capital expenditures and to fund other cash needs or reinvest cash into our business. We also believe it helps investors meaningfully evaluate and compare the results of our operations from period to period by removing the effect of our asset base (primarily depreciation and amortization) from our operating results.

During the six months ended June 30, 2020, we borrowed a net amount of $125.0 million on our $400 Million Revolver as a precautionary measure. Additionally, during the six months ended June 30, 2020 we amended our loan agreements to provide additional borrowing capacity of $150.0 million. The COVID-19 pandemic has also significantly increased economic uncertainty and has led to disruption and volatility in the global capital markets, which could increase the cost of and limit accessibility to capital. As such, our ability to raise capital through public or private offerings of our equity securities may be limited until capital markets recover toward pre-pandemic levels. In addition, we have entered into modifications of our 2018 Senior Credit Facility, which restricts our ability to use advances on the $400 Million Revolver for certain purposes, however, we continue to be able to access the $400 Million Revolver to fund operations, in addition to other items. Additionally, certain factors may have an adverse effect on our ability to access capital sources, including our financial performance, degree of leverage, the value of our unencumbered hotel properties, borrowing restrictions imposed by lenders, volatility in the equity and debt capital markets and other market conditions. Financing may not be available to us, or on terms that are attractive to us.

Our short-term liquidity requirements consist primarily of operating expenses and other expenditures directly associated with our hotel properties, recurring maintenance and capital expenditures necessary to maintain our hotel properties in accordance with internal and brand standards, capital expenditures to improve our hotel properties, hotel development costs, acquisitions, interest payments, settlement of interest rate swaps, scheduled principal payments on outstanding indebtedness, restricted cash funding obligations, mezzanine loan funding commitments, joint venture acquisitions and capital requirements, corporate overhead, and distributions to our stockholders when declared. Our long-term liquidity requirements consist primarily of the costs of acquiring additional hotel properties, renovations and other non-recurring capital expenditures that periodically are made with respect to our hotel properties, dividend distributions, and scheduled debt payments, including maturing loans.

To satisfy the requirements for qualification as a REIT, we must meet a number of organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement that we distribute annually at least 90% of our REIT taxable income to our stockholders, determined without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and excluding any net capital gains. We intend to distribute a sufficient amount of our taxable income to maintain our status as a REIT and to avoid tax on undistributed income. Because we anticipate distributing a substantial amount of our available cash from operations, if sufficient funds are not available to us from hotel dispositions, our senior revolving credit and term loan facilities and other loans, we may need to raise additional capital to grow our business.

We currently have ~~provided~~outstanding mezzanine loans on ~~four~~three real estate development projects to fund up to an aggregate of ~~$58.4~~$54.6 million for the development of four hotel properties. ~~Three~~Two of the real estate development loans, which closed in the fourth quarter of 2017, are fully funded. ~~Each has~~Both have a stated interest rate of ~~8.0%~~8.00% and ~~an initial term of approximately three years.~~mature on March 31, 2022. One of the real estate development loans, which closed in the third quarter of 2019, has ~~$11.1~~$20.3 million funded as of ~~June 30, 2020,~~March 31, 2021, has $8.5 million remaining to be funded, and has a stated interest rate of ~~9.0%~~9.00% and ~~an initial term~~a maturity date of ~~30 months.~~May 15, 2022. As of ~~June 30, 2020,~~March 31, 2021, we have funded ~~$40.7~~$46.1 million of our loan commitments. See "Note 4 – Investment in Real Estate Loans" for additional information concerning these loans and our rights to acquire ownership of the properties.

We expect to be able to meet our liquidity requirements and other cash obligations from our cash and cash equivalents on hand at June 30, 2020 totaling $124.6 million and our additional borrowing capacity of $150.0 million resulting from the loan documentation amendments described under Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Management’s Actions in Response to the Effects of COVID-19 on Our Operations - Financial Measures and Liquidity.

We evaluated our notes receivable for potential credit losses by estimating the fair value of the collateral supporting each note receivable at ~~June 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021 based on assumptions related to the expected future performance of the collateral assets and the resulting anticipated net selling value of the assets at capitalization rates that are common for the asset class. Our current estimate of credit losses related to the real estate development loans of $2.6 million as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic is recorded as an allowance for credit losses at ~~June 30, 2020.~~March 31, 2021.

On January 7, 2021, we entered into an underwriting agreement pursuant to which the Company agreed to offer and sell $287.5 million aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 1.50% convertible senior notes due 2026 (the “Convertible Notes"). The net proceeds from the Convertible Notes Offering, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by the Company (including net proceeds from the full exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option to purchase additional Convertible Notes), were approximately $280.0 million before consideration of the Capped Call Transactions. These proceeds were used to pay the cost of the Capped Call Transactions and to partially repay outstanding obligations under the 2018 Senior Credit Facility and 2017 Term Loan.

The initial conversion rate of the Convertible Notes is 83.4028 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of $11.99 per share of common stock based on the 37.5% base conversion premium on the reference price of $8.72 per share. The conversion rate is subject to adjustment in certain circumstances.

On January 7, 2021, in connection with the pricing of the Convertible Notes, and on January 8, 2021, in connection with the full exercise by the Underwriters of their option to purchase additional Convertible Notes pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Company entered into privately negotiated capped call transactions with certain of the underwriters or their respective affiliates and another financial institution (the “Capped Call Counterparties”). The Capped Call Transactions initially cover, subject to anti-dilution adjustments substantially similar to those applicable to the Convertible Notes, the number of shares of common stock underlying the Convertible Notes. The Capped Call Transactions are generally expected to reduce the potential dilution to holders of shares of common stock upon conversion of the Convertible Notes or offset the potential cash payments that the Company could be required to make in excess of the principal amount of any converted Convertible Notes upon conversion thereof, with such reduction or offset subject to a cap.

The effective strike price of the Capped Call Transactions is initially $15.26, which represents a premium of 75.0% over the last reported sale price of the common stock on the New York Stock Exchange on January 7, 2021, and is subject to certain adjustments under the terms of the Capped Call transactions. See “Note 5 – Debt,” for additional information concerning the Convertible Notes, Convertible Notes Offering and the Capped Call Transactions.

Outstanding Indebtedness

Subsequent to quarter-end, a~~t July 31, 2020,~~ at May 1, 2021, we had ~~loans of $420.0~~$200.0 million outstanding ~~under our 2018 Unsecured Credit Facility, which included borrowings of $200.0 million~~ on our $200 Million Term Loan, ~~and $220.0 million on our $400 Million Revolver. Additionally, we had $225.0~~$84.0 million outstanding on our 2017 Term Loan and $225.0 million outstanding on our 2018 Term Loan. Each of the credit facilities was supported by the 5246 hotel properties included in the credit facility borrowing ~~base.~~base and a pledge of the equity securities in each of the entities which own one of the 46 hotel properties, and the respective TRS Lessees. We also had $287.5 million of Convertible Notes outstanding.

Subsequent to quarter-end, at ~~July 31, 2020,~~May 1, 2021, our subsidiary joint venture had ~~$141.5~~$143.5 million outstanding under our Joint Venture Credit Facility, which included borrowings of $75.0 million on its $75 million term loan and ~~$66.5~~$68.5 million on its $125 million revolving line of credit. The Joint Venture Credit Facility ~~was supported~~is secured primarily by a first priority pledge of the Borrower's equity interests in the subsidiaries that hold the five hotel ~~properties in~~borrowing base assets, and the ~~joint venture.~~related TRS entities, which wholly own the TRS lessees that lease each of the borrowing base assets.

At ~~June 30, 2020,~~March 31, 2021, we have scheduled debt principal amortization payments during the next twelve months totaling ~~$3.8~~$4.0 million and no debt maturities. Currently, we have the capacity to pay these scheduled principal debt payments ~~or we will be able to fund them~~ using cash on hand or draws under our $400 Million Revolver.

We intend to use our cash and cash equivalents of $124.6 million at June 30, 2020, our $150.0 million borrowing capacity under our 2018 Unsecured Credit Facility, utilize our Joint Venture Credit Facility, secure or assume term loan financing, or obtain new financing to fund cash requirements. We may not succeed in obtaining new financing on favorable terms, or at all, and we cannot predict the size or terms of future financings. Our failure to obtain new financing could adversely affect our ability to grow our business.

We have obtained financing through debt instruments having staggered maturities and intend to continue to do so in the future. Our debt includes, and may include in the future, debt secured by stock pledges, debt secured by first priority mortgage liens on certain hotel properties and unsecured debt. We believe that we will have adequate liquidity to meet the requirements for scheduled maturities and principal repayments. However, we can provide no assurance that we will be able to refinance our indebtedness as it becomes due and, if refinanced, whether such refinancing will be available on favorable terms.

Our outstanding indebtedness requires us to comply with various financial and other covenants. At ~~June 30, 2020, no defaults existed under any~~March 31, 2021, we are in compliance with all of the Company's loan agreements. On ~~May 7, 2020,~~February 5, 2021, the Company entered into certain amendments of the 2018 ~~Unsecured~~Senior Credit Facility, the 2018 Term Loan and the 2017 Term Loan that give us full access to ~~additional borrowing capacity of $150.0 million,~~the $400 Million Revolver (subject to certain conditions), provide for financial covenant waivers through March 31, ~~2021,~~2022, and modify certain financial covenant measures ~~for the final three quarters of 2021.~~through December 31, 2023.

Additionally, on ~~June 18, 2020,~~April 29, 2021, we amended the Joint Venture Credit Facility to provide for ~~a financial covenant waiver through March 31, 2021, to modify~~ certain financial covenant ~~measures through June 30, 2022,~~waivers and adjustments as described in “Note 5 – Debt” to ~~access additional availability for operating expense deficits and various capital expenditures.~~the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Certain mortgage agreements are subject to various maintenance covenants requiring the Company to maintain a minimum debt yield or debt service coverage ratio ("DSCR"). Failure to meet the debt yield or DSCR thresholds is not an event of default, but instead triggers a cash trap event. During a cash trap event, the lender or servicer of the mortgage loan controls cash outflows until the loan is covenant compliant. Certain cash trap events have been triggered, but thereThere are currently no defaults under any of the Company's mortgage loan agreements.

See "Note 5 - Debt" to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information concerning the loan amendments and our financing arrangements.

We are exposed to interest rate risk through our variable-rate debt. We manage this risk primarily by managing the amount, sources, and duration of our debt funding and through the use of derivative financial instruments. Specifically, we enter into derivative financial instruments to manage our exposure to known or expected cash payments related to our variable-rate debt. During the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30, 2020,~~March 31, 2021, the fair value of our interest rate swaps ~~declined $20.1~~increased $6.2 million due to ~~a reduction~~an increase in ~~short term~~ interest ~~rates and a continued flattening of the forward yield curve.~~rate expectations.

Capital Expenditures

During the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30, 2020,~~March 31, 2021, we funded ~~$15.9~~$3.6 million in capital expenditures at our hotel properties. ~~As described under~~ ~~Item 2.~~Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Management’s Actions in Response to the Effects of COVID-19 on Our Operations - Financial Measures and Liquidity, we postponed all non-essential capital improvement projects planned for 2020 beyond those that are already substantially complete, which is expected to reduce previously planned total capital expenditures by at least $35.0 million for 2020. We anticipate spending an estimated ~~$25.0~~$20.0 million to $30.0 million on capital expenditures ~~during fiscal year 2020.~~across our portfolio in 2021 assuming a reasonable recovery in lodging demand occurs throughout the year. We expect to fund these expenditures through a combination of cash on hand, working capital, borrowings under our $400 Million Revolver, or other potential sources of capital, to the extent available to us.

Changes from the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021 compared to the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 were due to the following:

•Cash (used in) provided by operating activities. This decrease primarily resulted from a decrease in net income of ~~$83.7~~$20.5 million after adjusting for non-cash items, such as depreciation and amortization and gains on the sale of assets, ~~due to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, and~~partially offset by net changes in working capital of ~~$12.4 million primarily due to working capital changes.~~$10.1 million. The overall decrease is primarily due to ~~a significant decline in revenue as a result~~the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.

•Cash ~~(used in) provided by~~used in investing activities. This ~~increase~~decrease in cash used in investing activities is primarily due to a reduction in ~~proceeds from asset dispositions~~capital expenditures of ~~$144.0~~$7.5 million, ~~a contract termination payment for historical asset dispositions in the six months ended June 30, 2020 of $2.2 million and~~partially offset by an increase in net real estate loan funding of $3.0 million, partially offset by a decline in capital expenditures of $16.7 million and the exercise of our option pursuant to a ground lease agreement to purchase the land upon which our hotel property in Baltimore (Hunt Valley), MD is located for $4.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019.$1.0 million.

•Cash provided by ~~(used in)~~ financing activities. ~~This increase is~~Cash provided by financing activities for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 was primarily ~~due to an increase in~~the result of net borrowings under our revolving line of ~~$275.2 million and a reduction in dividends paid of $18.4 million.

Critical Accounting Policies

For critical accounting policies, see "Note 2 - Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies" to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Cybersecurity

The hospitality industry and certain of the major ~~hotel~~brand and franchise companies have recently experienced cybersecurity breaches. We ~~have~~are not ~~experienced~~aware of any material cybersecurity losses at any of our properties. We manage cybersecurity risks with 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. Our Board of Directors provides on-going oversight of management's approach to managing cybersecurity risks.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

Market risk includes risks that arise from changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices, equity prices and other market changes that affect market-sensitive instruments. In pursuing our business strategies, the primary market risk to which we are exposed is interest rate risk. Our primary interest rate exposure is to 30-day LIBOR. We primarily use derivative financial instruments to manage interest rate risk.

Our interest rate derivatives are based on USD-LIBOR. In July 2017, the Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”) that

regulates LIBOR announced it intends to stop compelling banks to submit rates for the calculation of LIBOR after 2021. As a result, the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York organized the Alternative Reference Rates Committee, which identified the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") as its preferred alternative to USD-LIBOR in derivatives and other financial contracts. The Company has contracts that are indexed to LIBOR and is monitoring and evaluating the related changes and risks. ~~The Company is not able to predict when~~ LIBOR will cease to be available ~~or when there will be sufficient liquidity in the SOFR markets. Any~~after 2021. The transition from LIBOR to SOFR or another benchmark interest rate will result in a different calculation of our variable interest rates that are currently indexed to LIBOR. ~~If adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary, our~~Our loan agreements contain provisions for our lenders and us to ~~jointly~~ establish an alternative interest rate.

5347

At ~~June 30, 2020,~~March 31, 2021, we were party to four interest rate derivative agreements pursuant to which we receive variable-rate payments in exchange for making fixed-rate payments (dollars in thousands):

At ~~June 30,~~March 31, 2021, after giving effect to our interest rate derivative agreements, $832.3 million, or 72%, of our debt had fixed interest rates and $322.2 million, or 28%, had variable interest rates. The percentage of debt with fixed rates increased during the first quarter of 2021 primarily as the result of the issuance of $287.5 million of fixed rate Convertible Notes (See "Note 5 - Debt" to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements). At December 31, 2020, after giving effect to our interest rate derivative agreements, ~~$547.5~~$545.8 million, or ~~46.9%~~50%, of our debt had fixed interest rates and ~~$619.9~~$555.7 million, or 53.1%, had variable interest rates. At December 31, 2019, after giving effect to our interest rate derivative agreements, $549.2 million, or 53.7%, of our debt had fixed interest rates and $473.5 million, or 46.3%50%, had variable interest rates. Taking into consideration our existing interest rate swaps an increase or decrease in interest rates of 1.0% would decrease or increase, respectively, our cash flows by approximately ~~$6.2~~$3.2 million per year.

As our fixed-rate debts mature, they will become subject to interest rate risk. In addition, as our variable-rate debts mature, lenders may impose interest rate floors on new financing arrangements because of the low interest rates experienced during the past few years. At ~~June 30, 2020,~~March 31, 2021, we have scheduled debt principal amortization payments during the next twelve months totaling ~~$3.8~~$4.0 million and no debt maturities.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management evaluated, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of ~~June 30, 2020.~~March 31, 2021. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of ~~June 30, 2020,~~March 31, 2021, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed 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 to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

During the six months ended June 30, 2020, our hotels were operating with significantly reduced staff as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, some of the internal controls associated with our hotel operations, such as segregation of incompatible duties, could not fully operate in the manner in which they were designed under normal operating conditions. Therefore, we have increased our corporate oversight and review of hotel operations and financial information to mitigate the temporary inability of our hotels to fully function within their normal internal control structures.

There were no ~~other~~ changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three-month period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which were identified in connection with management’s evaluation required by Rules 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(d) under the Exchange Act, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

We are involved from time to time in litigation arising in the ordinary course of business; however, there are currently no pending legal actions that we believe would have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

~~We are updating~~There have been no material changes from the risk ~~factor~~factors disclosed in the “Risk Factors” section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, “The outbreak of the Coronavirus or an outbreak of other highly infectious diseases, could adversely affect the number of guests visiting our hotel properties and disrupt our operations, resulting in a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows,” as follows:

The novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has disrupted and may further disrupt our business, which could further materially adversely affect our operations, financial position and results of operations.

The COVID-19 pandemic has materially adversely affected and may continue to materially adversely affect our financial position and results of operations. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will affect our business, liquidity, financial condition, and results of operations, will depend on numerous evolving factors that we may not be able to accurately predict or assess, including the duration and scope of the pandemic; the negative effect on the domestic and global economies; the short and long-term effects on the demand for guestrooms and levels of consumer confidence; our ability to successfully mitigate the effects caused by the pandemic; government action, including restrictions on travel; increased unemployment; and reductions in business and consumer discretionary spending. Even if COVID-19 does not continue to spread significantly, the perceived risk of infection or health risk may adversely affect consumer confidence, which will adversely affect our business, liquidity, financial condition and results of operations. We have been and could continue to be adversely affected by government restrictions on public gatherings, shelter-in-place orders and government-mandated or voluntary temporary suspension of operations of certain of our properties. We are unable to predict when restrictive measures may be reduced or eliminated or how quickly our operations will return to levels consistent with recent fiscal years after the restrictive measures are reduced or eliminated.

We borrowed a net amount of $125.0 million on our $400 Million Revolver during the six months ended June 30, 2020 as a precautionary measure to provide sufficient liquidity to meet our funding needs for the foreseeable future during the COVID-19 pandemic and the expected economic recovery. We have amended our loan agreements to provide an additional $150.0 million of borrowing capacity. The increase in our level of debt may adversely affect or restrict our financial and operating activities or our ability to incur additional debt. In addition, as a result of the risks described above, we may be required to raise additional capital, and there is no guarantee that debt or equity financings will be available in the future to fund our obligations, or will be available on terms consistent with our expectations or at all.2020.
