NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
 
General

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 primarily focus on owning premium-branded hotellodging properties with efficient operating models primarily in the Upscale segment of the lodging industry.that generate strong margins and investment returns. At March 31, 2022,2023, our portfolio consisted of 101 hotel103 lodging properties with a total of 15,22815,334 guestrooms located in 24 states. As of March 31, 2022,2023, we own 100% of the outstanding equity interests in 61 of our 101 hotel103 lodging properties. We own a 51% controlling interest in 40 hotel39 lodging properties through a joint venture. Our joint venture that was formed in July 2019 with GIC (the “Joint“GIC Joint Venture”), Singapore’s sovereign wealth fund, to acquirefund. We also own 90% equity interests in two separate joint ventures (the "Brickell Joint Venture" and the "Onera Joint Venture"). The Brickell Joint Venture owns two lodging properties, and the Onera Joint Venture owns one lodging property.

As of March 31, 2023, 86% of our guestrooms were located in the top 50 metropolitan statistical areas (“MSAs”), 91% were located within the top 100 MSAs and over 99% of our guestrooms operated under premium franchise brands owned by Marriott® International, Inc. (“Marriott”), Hilton® Worldwide (“Hilton”), Hyatt® Hotels Corporation (“Hyatt”), and InterContinental® Hotels Group (“IHG”).

Substantially all of our assets that align withare held by, and all of our current investment strategy and criteria. We serve asoperations are conducted through, our operating partnership, Summit Hotel OP, LP (the “Operating Partnership”). Through a wholly-owned subsidiary, we are the sole general partner and asset manager of the Joint VentureOperating Partnership. At March 31, 2023, we owned, directly and we generally invest 51%indirectly, approximately 87.0% of the equity capitalizationOperating Partnership’s issued and outstanding common units of limited partnership interest (“Common Units”), and all of the Operating Partnership’s issued and outstanding Series E and Series F preferred units of limited partnership with GIC investinginterest. NewcrestImage Holdings, LLC owns all of the remaining 49%issued and outstanding 5.25% Series Z Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Units (Liquidation preference $25 per unit) of the Operating Partnership ("Series Z Preferred Units"), which was issued as part of the NCI Transaction (described below in "Note 3 - Investments in Lodging Property, net"). The Joint Venture typically finances assets with a 50% overall leverage target.We collectively refer to preferred units of limited partnership interests of our Operating Partnership as "Preferred Units."

Pursuant to the Operating Partnership’s partnership agreement, we have full, exclusive and complete responsibility and discretion in the management and control of the Operating Partnership, including the ability to cause the Operating Partnership to enter into certain major transactions including acquisitions, dispositions and refinancings, to make distributions to partners and to cause changes in the Operating Partnership’s business activities.

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 hotellodging properties. Accordingly, all of our hotellodging properties are leased to our taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRS Lessees”).

During the quarter ended March 31, 2022, the Operating Partnership and the Joint Venture closed on a transaction with NewcrestImage Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and NewcrestImage Holdings II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (together, “NewcrestImage”), to purchase from NewcrestImage a portfolio of 27 hotel properties, containing an aggregate of 3,709 guestrooms, and 2 parking structures, containing 1,002 spaces (such hotel properties and parking structures, the “Portfolio”), and various financial incentives for an aggregate purchase price of $822.0 million (the "NCI Transaction"). See "Note 3 -Investment in Hotel Properties, net - Acquisition of NewcrestImage Portfolio" for further information.

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”) and its variants, for at least the near future. The pandemic has 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 hotel demand. These conditions resulted in a substantial decline in our revenues, profitability and cash flows from operations beginning in March, 2020.

Beginning in March 2020, the Company took several actions to reduce costs and increase liquidity to mitigate the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company. We continue to engage in certain steps to reduce costs while taking appropriate actions to maintain guest safety and satisfaction. For additional information concerning such actions taken in response to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, please see our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we continued to experience significant improvement in our business compared to earlier in the Pandemic, driven primarily by leisure travel and to a lesser extent modest improvement in other demand segments, including corporate and group. The improvement was the result of a significant increase in the availability and administration of vaccines globally as well as the easing of government restrictions and guidance in most jurisdictions. We anticipate that continued improvement in operating trends will be dependent on continued strength in leisure travel and a recovery of business travel. More broadly, a return to normalized levels of operations is dependent upon a continuation in the recovery of our business, further dissipation of concerns related to the Pandemic, geopolitical stability, moderating inflation and maintaining a high-quality portfolio aligned with evolving guest preferences.

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”), which requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the Consolidated Financial Statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses in the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. As interim statements, 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 months ended March 31, 20222023 may not be indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year of 2022.2023. For further information, please read the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.2022.

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 GICjoint venture partnerships in our accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. See
"Note 9 - Non-controlling Interests and Redeemable Non-controlling Interests" for further information.
Real Estate Development Loans
Investment
We selectively provide mezzanine financing to developers where we also have the opportunity to acquire the lodging property at or after the completion of the development project. We classify mezzanine loans as Investments in Hotel Properties
The Company allocates the purchase price of acquired hotel propertieslodging property, net or Investments in real estate loans, net based on the fair valueterms of the acquired land, land improvements, building, furniture, fixturesloan agreements 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 orcriteria for classifying 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 recordedarrangement 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 determinations of fair value.
If substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired are concentrated in a single identifiable assetloan 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 property 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 property 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 hotelreal estate under Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") No. 310, Receivables. At March 31, 2023, we have one mezzanine loan that we have classified in Investments in lodging property, we reflect the loan as Investment in hotel properties, net inon our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.Sheet.

Current Estimate of Credit Losses

Financial assets (or a group of financial assets) such as real estate development loans and other notes receivable are measured at amortized cost and presented at the net amount expected to be collected in accordance with ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326). We record an allowance for credit losses as a valuation account that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of the financial asset 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 real estate development loans, notes receivable and interest receivables for collectability. Probable losses on loans are recognized in a valuation account that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of the loans and recorded as Provision for credit losses in our condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. When we place a loan on non-accrual status, we suspend the recognition of interest income until cash interest payments are received. Generally, we return loans 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.
7



Financial Guarantee

On occasion, we may provide a financial guarantee on behalf of a mezzanine borrower. We monitorrecord the non-contingent portion of financial guarantees made on behalf of third-parties as a liability at an amount equal to the premium receivable for the guarantee payable to us by the borrower under the practical expedient provided by ASC No. 460, Guarantees. We periodically evaluate the contingent component of a financial guarantee based on relevant information about past events, including historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that may require us to record a liability related to the contingent component of a guarantee. We will record a liability for the contingent component of the guarantee when a payment by us under the guarantee is probable and reasonably estimable in accordance with ASC No. 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses.

Purchase Option

When we provide mezzanine financing to a developer, we will generally take a purchase option to acquire a majority interest in the property upon completion of construction. We record purchase options at their estimated fair values on the transaction date in accordance with ASC No. 820, Fair Value Measurement, under a closed-form model such as the Black-Scholes model or a binomial lattice model such as the Monte Carlo simulation model. Purchase options received in connection with a mezzanine loan are recorded as a discount on the note receivable or a contra-asset, depending on the classification of the financial instrument, and amortized over the term of the mezzanine loan using the straight-line method, which approximates the interest method, as non-cash interest income on our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. We elected to account for purchase options using the measurement alternative, which is cost, less any impairment, adjusted for changes in circumstancesfair value resulting from observable transactions for indicators thatidentical or similar investments of the same issuer as of the respective transaction dates.

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. Revenues, 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 held by unaffiliated third parties and third-party minority ownership interests in our joint ventures.  

Redeemable Non-controlling Interests

Redeemable non-controlling interests represent redeemable preferred units issued by our Operating Partnership ("Redeemable Preferred Units"). The Redeemable Preferred Units are presented as temporary equity related to our Operating Partnership on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets under the caption of "Redeemable Non-controlling Interests." See "Note 9 - Equity" for further information. We record Redeemable non-controlling interests at fair value on the issuance date of the securities. When the carrying value (the acquisition date fair value adjusted for the non-controlling interest’s share of a hotel property or undeveloped land may be impaired. Additionally,net income (loss) and dividends) is less than the redemption value, we perform at least annual reviewsadjust the redeemable non-controlling interest to monitorequal the factors that could triggerredemption value with changes recognized as an impairment.  Factors that we consider for an impairment analysis include, among others: i) significant underperformance relativeadjustment to historical or anticipated operating results, ii) significant changesAccumulated deficit and distributions in the mannerexcess 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 property sales, and vi) significant negative industry or economic trends. Whenretained earnings. Any such factors are identified, we prepare an estimateadjustment, when necessary, is recorded as 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.
Intangible Assets

applicable balance sheet date.
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.

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 $0.1 million at March 31, 20222023 and $0.2 million at December 31, 2021.2022. Bad debt expense was $0.0 million and $0.1 million for each of the three months ended March 31, 20222023 and 2021, respectively.2022.

Leases

In accordance with ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), we record the financial liability and right-of-use assets that are inherent to leasing an asset on the balance sheet for all leases with a term of greater than 12 months regardless of their classification.

Several of our hotel properties lease retail or restaurant space to third-party tenants. The majority of our third-party tenants requested rent deferrals in prior years to ease the negative financial effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on their businesses. We 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 property 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. In accordance with ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326), we measure financial assets (or a group of financial assets) at amortized cost and present them 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 non-accrual 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.
Redeemable Non-controlling InterestsEarnings Per Share

Redeemable non-controlling interests represent redeemable preferred units issuedBasic earnings (loss) per share (“EPS”) is computed by our Operating Partnership ("Redeemable Preferred Units") in connection with the NCI Transaction. Redeemable non-controlling interests are recorded as temporary equity in a mezzanine presentation outside of Equity on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. We record Redeemable non-controlling interests at fair value on the issuance date of the securities. When the carrying value (the acquisition date fair value adjusted for the non-controlling interest’s share ofdividing net income (loss) and dividends) is less thanavailable to common stockholders by the redemption value, we adjustweighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the redeemable non-controlling interestperiod. We apply the two-class method of computing earnings (loss) per share, which requires the calculation of separate earnings (loss) per share amounts for participating securities. Under the two-class computation method, net losses are not allocated to equalparticipating securities unless the redemption value with changes recognized as an adjustment to Accumulated deficit and distributions in excess of retained earnings. Any such adjustment, when necessary, is recorded asholder of the applicable balance sheet date.security has a contractual obligation to share in the losses. Any anti-dilutive securities are excluded from the basic per-share calculation.

Non-controlling Interests Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders, as adjusted for dilutive securities, by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding plus dilutive securities. Any anti-dilutive securities are excluded from the diluted per-share calculation.

Non-controlling interests representBasic and diluted loss per share for the portion of equity in a consolidated entity held by owners other than the consolidating parent. Non-controlling intereststhree months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 are reported in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets within equity, separately from stockholders’ equity. Revenue, expenses and net incomecalculated as Net loss attributable to both the Companycommon stockholders for each respective period divided by weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding for each respective period as all other securities are antidilutive. Potentially dilutive shares include unvested restricted share grants, unvested performance share grants, shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of convertible debt and the non-controlling interests are reported in the Condensed Consolidated Statementsshares of Operations. 

Our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include non-controlling interests related to common unitsstock issuable upon conversion of limited partnership interests (“Common Units”) in the Operating Partnership held by unaffiliated third parties and third-party ownershipUnits of a 49% interest in the Joint Venture. Also, our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include Redeemable Preferred Units in the Operating Partnership issued to complete the NCI Transaction and held by unaffiliated third parties. These Redeemable Preferred Units are presented as temporary equity related to our Operating Partnership in a mezzanine position between liabilities and stockholders' equity on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as Redeemable Non-controlling Interests. See "Note 9 - Non-controlling Interests and Redeemable Non-controlling Interests" for further information.

Revenue Recognition
In accordance with ASU No. 2014-09, revenues from the operation of our hotel properties 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 property 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 property'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.




9


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 hotel properties 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 hotel properties 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 May 13, 2021 (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 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, subject to certain adjustments and excluding any capital gain. As a REIT, we generally will not be subject to federal income tax (other than taxes paid by our 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 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 our 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 TRSs are subject to federal, state and local income taxes at applicable tax rates. Our consolidated income tax provision includes the income tax provision related to the operations of the 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 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 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, 2022 is not reasonably assured. Therefore, we have recorded a valuation allowance against substantially all of our deferred tax assets at March 31, 2022.

We perform a quarterly review for any uncertain tax positions. The Company had no accruals for uncertain tax positions as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

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 option, that do not have readily determinable fair values. Under the alternative, our purchase option is 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.

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.

New Accounting Standards

In March 2020, the FASBFinancial Accounting Standards Board 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 the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company elected to apply the hedge accounting expedients related to probability and the assessments of effectiveness for future LIBOR-indexed cash flows to assume that the index upon which future hedged transactions will be based matches the index on the corresponding derivatives. Application of these expedients preserves the presentation of derivatives consistent with past presentation.

Onera Mezzanine Loan

In January 2023, we entered into an agreement with affiliates of Onera Opportunity Fund I, LP ("Onera") to provide a mezzanine loan to fund up to $28.9$4.6 million for the development of a glamping property (the "Onera Mezzanine Loan"). The Onera Mezzanine Loan is secured by a second mortgage on the property that is subordinate to the senior lender for the development project. The loan matures 24 months from the closing date of the transaction and may be extended for an additional 12 months at the borrower's option. Additionally, we issued a $3.0 million letter of credit to the senior lender of the project as additional support for Onera's construction loan. We also have an option to purchase 90% of the equity of the entity that owns the development property upon completion of construction or upon the one-year anniversary of such completion at a pre-determined price (the "Onera Purchase Option"). The development is expected to be completed in the second half of 2024. As of March 31, 2023, we funded $1.3 million of our total $4.6 million commitment under the mezzanine loan. The balance of the Onera Mezzanine Loan is recorded net of the unamortized discount related to the carrying amount of the Onera Purchase Option of $0.8 million at March 31, 2023, and is classified as Investments in lodging property, net in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at March 31, 2023.

We recorded the Onera Purchase Option related to the Onera Mezzanine Loan at its estimated fair value of $0.9 million on the transaction date using the Black-Scholes model in Other assets and as a contra-asset to Investments in lodging property, net. The recorded amount of the Onera Purchase Option is being amortized over the term of the Onera Mezzanine Loan using the straight-line method, which approximates the interest method, as non-cash interest income. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, we amortized $0.1 million of the carrying amount of the Onera Purchase Option as non-cash interest income.

Brickell Mezzanine Loan

NCI Transaction

During the quarter ended March 31, 2022, the Operating Partnership and the GIC Joint Venture entered intoclosed on a Contribution and Purchase Agreementtransaction (the “Contribution and Purchase Agreement”"NCI Transaction") with NewcrestImage Holdings, LLC a Delaware limited liability company, and
NewcrestImage Holdings II, LLC a Delaware limited liability company (together, “NewcrestImage”"NewcrestImage"), to purchase from
NewcrestImage a 100% interest in a portfolio of 27 hotellodging properties, containing an aggregate of 3,709 guestrooms, and 2two parking structures, containing 1,002 spaces, (such hotel properties and parking structures, the “Portfolio”), and various financial and tax incentives for certain of the acquired properties, for an aggregate purchase price of $822.0 million.

On January 13, 2022, the Joint Venture completed the acquisition of the Portfolio except for one hotel property, the 176 guestroom Canopy New Orleans which was still under construction, for an aggregate purchase price of $766.0 million, paid in the form of 15,314,49415,864,674 Common Units (deemed value of $10.0853 per unit), 1,958,429 preferred units of limited partnership of the Operating Partnership newly designated as 5.25%2,000,000 Series Z Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Units, (Liquidation Preference $25 Per Unit) (the “Series Z Preferred Units”), $382.0cash draws totaling $410.0 million cash draw from a term loan entered into by subsidiaries of the GIC Joint Venture, the assumption by a subsidiary of the GIC Joint Venture of approximately $6.5 million in PACE loan debt, and $5.9 million of cash contributed to escrow in the prior year by GIC, as a limited partner in the Joint Venture, and approximately $171.4$185.2 million cash contributed by GIC at closing. GIC also contributed to the GIC Joint Venture an additional $18.5 million in cash for estimated pre-acquisition costs related to the NCI Transaction, a portion of which will bewas distributed to the Operating Partnership as reimbursement for transaction costs paid by the Operating Partnership.

The Joint Venture acquired the Canopy New Orleans on March 23, 2022 upon completion of its construction, for a purchase price of $56.0 million, which was paid in the form of 550,180 Common Units, 41,571 Series Z Preferred Units, $13.8 million cash contributed by GIC, as a limited partner in the Joint Venture, and $28.0 million cash proceeds from a draw on the term loan entered into by subsidiaries of the Joint Venture.

We valued the Common Units and Series Z Preferred Units at fair market value on the closing dates of the NCI Transaction, which resulted in us recording the issued Common Units and Series Z Preferred Units at $157.5 million and $50.0 million, respectively. The Common Units were recorded at the closing prices of our Common Stockcommon stock on the closing dates since the Common Units are redeemable for shares of our Common Stockcommon stock on a 1:1 basis. We estimated the fair value of the Series Z Preferred Units based on the features and stated dividend coupon of the Series Z Preferred Units relative to similar securities with more readily determinable market values. We recorded the Series Z Preferred Units at their redemption value of $50.0 million which approximates fair value on the closing dates.

OurThe GIC Joint Venture assumed $335.2 million of debt in connection with the NCI Transaction and immediately repaid $328.7 million of the assumed debt on the closing date using proceeds from borrowings on the GIC Joint Venture Term Loan (as defined below)described in Note 5 - Debt). We recorded debt assumed in connection with the NCI Transaction at its face amount, which approximated fair market value on the closing date.

Real Estate Development Loans

During the year ended December 31, 2019, we provided a mezzanine loan to fund up to $28.9 million for a mixed-use
development project that includes the AC Hotel by Marriott and Element Miami Brickell Hotel in Miami, FL, retail space, and parking. The loan closed in the third quarter of 2019 and has a stated interest rate of 9%. In November 2020, we extended the maturity date of the loan from February 15, 2022 to May 15, 2022. In December 2021, we modified the loan agreement to increase the Company's funding commitment by $1.0 million. The loan is secured by a second mortgage on the development project and a pledge of the equity in the project owner. As of March 31, 2022, we funded $29.6 million of our total $29.9 million commitment.

We have an option to purchase a 90% interest in the AC Hotel by Marriott and Element Miami Brickell Hotel in Miami, FL (the “Initial Purchase Option”). We also have the right to purchase the remaining interest in the hotel property five years after the completion of construction. In December 2021, construction of the hotel property was completed. We have issued a $10.0 million letter of credit under our senior 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 on our Consolidated Balance Sheets at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. Interest income on the mezzanine loan is recorded in our 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 each of the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, we amortized $0.1 million and $0.3 million, respectively, as non-cash interest income.

In April 2022, we exercised the Initial Purchase Option to acquire a 90% equity interest in the AC Hotel by Marriott and Element Miami Brickell Hotel in Miami, FL containing an aggregate 264 guestrooms. The option price was based on a gross hotel valuation of $89.0 million determined prior to commencement of the development project. We expect to fund our estimated equity requirement with the proceeds from the payment in full of our outstanding mezzanine loan to the developer of the project, which is expected to be $29.9 million at closing, the assumption of senior debt on the development project of approximately $47.0 million, and $7.9 million in cash. We expect to close the transaction in June 2022.

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 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 defineddescribed 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.another 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. DuringThe Company recorded coupon interest expense of $1.1 million for each of the three months ended March 31, 20222023 and 2021, the2022. The Company recorded coupon interest expense of $1.0 million and $0.9 million, respectively, and amortized $0.4 million and $0.4 million, respectively, of the $7.6 millionincurred debt issuance costs related to the Convertible Notes Offering.Offering of $7.6 million of which $0.4 million was amortized for each of the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022. Including the amortization of the debt issuance costs, the current effective interest rate on the Convertible Notes iswas approximately 2.00%. for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022. The unamortized discount related to the Convertible Notes was $4.3 million and $4.7 million at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.


20


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. Commensurate with the declaration of dividends on our common stock and Common Units on February 28, 2023, the conversion rate of the Convertible Notes was adjusted to 84.6064 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes.

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 (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 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 iswas initially $15.26, which representsrepresented a premium of 75.0% over the last reported sale price of theour 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. The current strike price is $15.04 due to the adjustments related to the dividends paid during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and the year ended December 31, 2022.

At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we had $400.0 million of debt with variable interest rates that had been converted to fixed interest rates through derivative financial instruments which are carried at fair value. Differences between carrying value and fair value of our fixed-rate debt are primarily due to changes in interest rates. Inherently, fixed-rate debt is subject to fluctuations in fair value as a result of changes in the current market rate of interest on the valuation date.

On March 24, 2023, subsidiaries of the GIC Joint Venture that are the borrowers under the GIC Joint Venture Term Loan entered into two $100.0 million interest rate swaps to fix one-month term SOFR until January 2026. The interest rate swaps have an effective date of July 1, 2023 and a termination date of January 13, 2026. Pursuant to the interest rate swaps, we will pay a fixed rate of 3.354% and receive the one-month term SOFR floating rate index.

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 March 31, 20222023 and December 31, 2021, all of2022 our interest rate swaps were in a liabilityan asset position. The liabilityDerivative assets related to our interest rate swaps has decreased substantially during the first quarter of 2022 due to increases in interest rates. Our interest rate swaps are recorded in Accrued expenses and otherOther assets 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 toas 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 $2.3$9.2 million will be reclassified from Other comprehensive income and recorded as an increasea decrease to Interestinterest expense.

NOTE 13 - INCOME TAXES
 
We have elected to be taxed as a REIT. As a REIT, we are generally will not be subject to U.S. federalcorporate-level income taxtaxes on ordinarytaxable income and capital gains income generated by our REIT activities that we distribute to our stockholders. We areshareholders.

Income related to our TRS Lessees is subject to federal, state and local taxes at applicable corporate tax rates. Our consolidated tax provision includes the income tax provision related to the operations of the TRS Lessees 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 earningsrespective carrying amounts for tax purposes, and ii) operating losses and 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 our TRS Lessees. In addition, our Operating Partnershipa change in tax rates is subjectrecognized 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 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 in a limited number of local and state jurisdictions.assets will not be realized.

The Company recorded an incomeWe consider all available evidence, both positive and negative, to determine whether, based on the weight of that evidence, a valuation allowance for deferred tax benefit of $2.0 million and income tax expense of $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Due to the effects of the Pandemic, certainassets is needed. Certain of our TRS Lessees have incurred operating losses in the past and are expected to be in a three-year cumulative loss for the foreseeable future.measured on a rolling twelve quarter basis. A cumulative loss is significant negative evidence that the realizability of our deferred tax assets at March 31, 20222023 is not reasonably assured. Therefore, we have recorded a valuation allowance against substantially all our deferred tax assets at March 31, 2022.2023.

The Company recorded an income tax benefit of $0.5 million and $2.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

We file U.S. and state income tax returns in jurisdictions with varying statutes of limitations. In general, we are not subject to tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2018. In the normal course of business, we are subject to examination by federal, state, and local jurisdictions where applicable. We had no unrecognized tax benefits at March 31, 2022.2023. We expect no significant changesincrease or decrease in unrecognized tax benefits due to changes in tax positions within the next year.


NOTE 14 - 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.

These dividends are payable May 31, 2022 to stockholders of record on May 22, 2022.

Exercise of Purchase Option

In April 2022, we exercised the Initial Purchase Option to acquire a 90% equity interest in the AC Hotel by Marriott and Element Miami Brickell Hotel in Miami, FL. The option price was based on a gross hotel valuation of $89.0 million determined prior to commencement of the development project. We expect to fund our estimated equity requirement with the proceeds from the payment in full of our outstanding mezzanine loan to the developer of the project, which is expected to be $29.9 million at closing, the assumption of senior debt on the development project of approximately $47.0 million, and $7.9 million in cash. We expect to close the transaction in June 2022. Although we currently do not have an estimate of the fair value of the Initial Purchase Option, we expect to the adjust the Initial Purchase Option to its estimated fair value during the second quarter of 2022 based on the estimated fair value of the hotel property on the closing date.

Disposition of Hotel Property

On March 23, 2022, our Joint Venture entered into an agreement to sell the entity that holds our Hilton Garden Inn San Francisco Airport North in San Francisco, CA containing 169 guestrooms for a gross selling price of $75 million, which will result in an approximate gain on the sale of $20.5 million. We have received $7.5 million of nonrefundable earnest money from the buyer and we expect the transaction to close during the second quarter of 2022. As such, we have classified this property as Held for sale at March 31, 2022.

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 more recently, travel-related health and safety restrictions and concerns. 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. The global and U.S. economies and the travel and lodging industries have experienced a significant downturn as a result of the Pandemic.Pandemic during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2021. During the year ended December 31, 2022 and the three months ended March 31, 2022,2023, we continued to experienceexperienced a significant recovery in hotellodging demand driven primarily by leisure travelers. Corporate and group demand remaincontinues to meaningfully accelerate but remains below historical levels. In recent months, our RevPAR levels are generally in line with pre-Pandemic results.

Rising inflation has been pervasive since 2022, increasing the cost of salaries, wages, material, freight, and are recovering more slowly; however, weenergy. Higher costs due to general business inflation were partially offset by lodging price increases, which offset the effect of inflation on our operating results. We expect relatively higher inflation to continue in 2023 resulting in higher costs. Consumers may be resistant to further lodging price increases to offset the continued high inflation, which could have recently begun to experience an increase in demand related to these segments as return to work trends continue to accelerateadverse effect on our consolidated financial condition and travel restrictions are reduced or eliminated.results of operations.

Effects of the Pandemic on Our Business

TheBeginning in March 2020, we experienced the negative effects of the Pandemic, and the restrictions implemented in response to the Pandemic havewhich 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 hotel demand. These conditions resulted inAs such, we experienced a substantial decline from pre-Pandemic levels in our revenues, profitability and cash flows from operations.

During the three months ended March 31, 2022 and thereafter, we continued to experienceexperienced significant improvement in our business, compared to earlier in the Pandemic, driven primarily by leisure travel and to a lesser extent modest improvement in other demand segments, including corporate and group. The improvement wasDuring the result ofthree months ended March 31, 2023, our business has experienced a significant increase in the availability and administration of vaccines globally as well as the easing of government restrictions and guidance in most jurisdictions. We anticipatestrong recovery enabling us to return to operating results that are at or above pre-Pandemic levels. A continued improvementgrowth in operating trends will be dependent on continued strength in leisure travel and a recovery of business travel. More broadly, a return to normalized levels of operationsresults is dependent upon a continuation in the recovery of our business, further dissipation of concerns related to the Pandemic,travel, geopolitical stability, moderating inflation, a normalized labor market, and maintaining a high-quality portfolio aligned with evolving guest preferences.

Health and Well-being

All of our hotel properties are 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 to address a broad spectrum of pathogens and viruses, including COVID-19 and variants thereof. We continue to apply advanced cleaning procedures developed during the Pandemic to all of our hotel properties.

Forward-looking Information and Use of Estimates

The full effects of the Pandemic and its variants 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 of the Pandemic on our Company cannot be determined at this time. While the potential magnitude and duration of the business and economic effects of the Pandemic are uncertain, we believe that the recovery in our business that began during 2020 and has continued through the three months ended March 31, 2022 will continue through 2022 and we expect that 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 Pandemic, please see Item 1A. Risk Factors.

Changes from the three months ended March 31, 20222023 compared with the three months ended March 31, 20212022 were due to the following:

Property Taxes, Insurance and Other. The increase in Property taxes, insurance and other is primarily due to the NCI Transaction which significantly expanded the size of our portfolio with the acquisition of 27 hotel properties and two parking garages. The higher property taxes due to an increase in franchise taxes and property casualty insurance, which was renewed in the numberfirst quarter of hotel properties in our portfolio during the quarter ended March 31, 2022 was partially offset by property tax reductions that we have generated through our property tax appeal efforts to reduce the assessed values of our hotel properties for property tax purposes based on the lower operating performance than we experienced during the Pandemic.2023.

Management Fees. The increase in Management fees during the current period is primarily due to increased consolidated revenues as our business has experienced a steady improvement in performance during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and due to the NCI Transaction, which significantly expanded the size of our portfolio with the acquisition of 27 hotel properties and two parking garages.2023.

Depreciation and Amortization. The increase in Depreciation and amortization is primarily due to the NCI Transaction which significantly expanded the size of our portfolio with the acquisition of 27 hotel properties and two parking garages, which resulted in a substantial increase the our depreciable assets during the first quarter of 2022. Additionally, we have increased renovation activities at our hotellodging properties during the quarter ended March 31, 2023 and additional depreciation expense related to the completion of the Brickell Transaction and the Onera Transaction during the year ended December 31, 2022, offset by a decrease in depreciation expense as our operating performance has improved.a result of the sale of the 169-guestroom Hilton Garden Inn San Francisco Airport North in May 2022.

Corporate General and Administrative. The increasedecrease in corporate,Corporate general and administrative costs during the current periodexpenses is primarily due to higher incentivethe departure of the Company's former Executive Vice President and otherChief Operating Officer in the first quarter of 2022, which resulted in the Company recording $1.3 million of additional stock-based compensation costs, including a one-time charge of approximately $1.3 millionexpense during the period related to the acceleration of time-based restricted shares and the modification of performance stock-based compensation for our former Chief Operating Officer who retired on March 4, 2022.certain stock award agreements.

Interest Expense. Interest expense has increased as a result of the additional debt outstanding during the first quarter of 2022 relatedthree months ended March 31, 2023 due to the NCI Transaction and higher base rates on our floating rate debt that is not hedged.hedged during the three months ended March 31, 2023 in comparison with the three months ended March 31, 2022 and the additional debt related to the Brickell Transaction which closed in May 2022.

Other Income, net. The decrease in Other income, net decreased duringin the first quarter of 2023 compared to the same period in 2022 as a result of a reduction inis primarily due to interest income duringthat was previously earned on a mezzanine loan in connection with the period due toBrickell acquisition. This mezzanine loan was repaid in connection with the repaymentBrickell Transaction which closed in full of several mezzanine loans totaling approximately $25.8 million during the fourth quarter of 2021.May 2022.

Income Tax ExpenseBenefit.. Income taxes in interim quarters are based on an estimated annual effective tax rate. The Company recorded a $2.0$0.5 million income tax benefit during the three months ended March 31, 2022 primarily due2023, which represents a decrease of $1.5 million when compared to taxable losses incurred during the same period related to certain of our TRS entities.in the previous year. Seasonality in quarterly net income (loss), and changes in the forecasted earnings causes variability in income taxes recorded in each quarter.

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"EBITDAre") and Adjusted EBITDAreEBITDAre (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 sharesCommon Stock and common units.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, and adjustments related to provision for credit losses.which is de minimus. 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 fundmeet 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.

These increases in AFFO were partially offset by the sale of the Hilton Garden Inn San Francisco Airport North in May 2022. AFFO applicable to shares of Common Stock and Common Units increased $6.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022.

 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.

41


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.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
  
Due to the Pandemic, we entered into modifications of our 2018 Senior Credit Facility during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2021, which included a waiver of covenants through March 31, 2022 and restricted 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, for growth opportunities and to execute our business plan. Upon expiration of our covenant waivers in March 2022, the capacity available under the $400 Million Revolver may be restricted based upon our quarterly achievement of certain liquidity or other financial metrics. The Company's availability under the $400 Million Revolver will fluctuate based on the performance of the Company relative to its covenant package. See “Note 5 –Debt” to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information concerning our 2018 Senior Credit Facility.

Our short-term liquidity requirementscash obligations consist primarily of operating expenses and other expenditures directly
associated with our hotellodging properties, recurring maintenance and capital expenditures necessary to maintain our hotellodging properties
in accordance with internal and brand standards, capital expenditures to improve our hotellodging properties, hotel property development costs, acquisitions, interest payments, settlement of interest rate swaps, scheduled principal payments on outstanding indebtedness, restricted cash funding obligations, mezzanine loan funding commitments, our Joint Venturejoint venture acquisitions and capital requirements, contractual lease payments, corporate overhead, and dividends and distributions to our stockholders and unitholders when declared. We have approximately $62.0 million of debt under our 2017 Term Loan maturing in November 2022. We currently have adequate liquidity to fund this maturity.declared and paid. Our corporate overhead primarily consists of employee compensation expenses, professional fees and corporate insurance and rent expenses. Cash requirements for our corporate overhead expenses (excluding non-cash stock-based compensation), which are generally paid from operating cash flows, were $7.5$6.5 million and $4.1$5.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 20222023 and 2021,2022, respectively. We generally expect our corporate overhead expenses to remain consistent with the level of our operating activities and market conditions for goods and services.

Our long-term liquidity requirementscash obligations consist primarily of the costs of acquiring additional hotellodging properties, renovations
and other non-recurring capital expenditures that periodically are made with respect to our hotellodging properties, dividend
dividends and distributions and scheduled debt payments, including maturing loans.

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we completed the NCI Transaction for an aggregate purchase price of $822.0 million (the "NCI Transaction").

During the three months ended March 31, 2021 we sold Convertible Notes totaling approximately $280.0 million before consideration of the related capped call transactions, and 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). 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. See “Note 5 – Debt” to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information concerning the Convertible Notes, Convertible Notes Offering and the Capped Call Transactions.

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 hotellodging property dispositions, our senior revolving credit and term loan facilities and other loans, we may need to raise additional capital to grow our business.

Currently, we have the capacity to pay these scheduled principal debt payments using cash on hand or draws under our $400 Million Revolver.

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 stockequity pledges, debt secured by first priority mortgage liens on certain hotellodging properties and unsecured debt. We believe that we will have adequate liquidity to meet the requirements for scheduled maturities and principal repayments.

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.
On March 24, 2023, subsidiaries of the GIC Joint Venture that are the borrowers under the GIC Joint Venture Term Loan entered into two $100.0 million interest rate swaps to fix one-month term SOFR until January 2026. The interest rate swaps have an effective date of July 1, 2023 and a termination date of January 13, 2026. Pursuant to the interest rate swaps, we will pay a fixed rate of 3.354% and receive the one-month term SOFR floating rate index.

Capital Expenditures
 
During the three months ended March 31, 2022,2023, we funded $10.3$24.1 million in capital expenditures ($19.5 million on a pro rata basis) at our hotellodging properties. We anticipate spending an additional $60.0approximately $40.3 million to $80.0$60.3 million on capital expenditures across our portfolioon a pro rata basis during the remainder of 2022 assuming a reasonable recovery in lodging demand occurs throughout the remainder of the year.2023.

Changes from the three months ended March 31, 20222023 compared to the three months ended March 31, 20212022 were due to the following:

Cash provided by (used in) operating activities. ThisThe increase in cash provided by operating activities primarily resulted from an increase in net income of $35.4$5.4 million, after adjusting for non-cash items such as depreciation and amortization and gains on the sale of assets,equity-based compensation, and net changes in working capital of $6.7$1.1 million. The net changes in working capital were primarily due to increases in accrued expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2021 as a result of an increase in the number of hotel properties during the first quarter of 2022 with the NCI Transaction, decreases in Prepaid expenses and other as a result of the NCI Transaction, offset by an increase in Trade receivables, net due to the increased size of our hotel portfolio with the NCI Transaction.

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.SOFR. 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 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. LIBOR has ceased to be available for new loans originated after 2021. The transition from LIBOR to SOFR or another benchmark interest rate willmay result in a different calculation of our variable interest rates that are currently indexed to LIBOR. Our loan agreements contain provisions for our lenders2018 Senior Credit Facility, 2018 Term Loan and usGIC Joint Venture Credit Facility and GIC Joint Venture Term Loans have each been amended to establish an alternative interest rate.
transition from LIBOR to SOFR. As of March 31, 2023, we have two remaining outstanding loans that are indexed to LIBOR.

At March 31, 2022,2023, we were party to foursix interest rate derivative agreements pursuant to which we receive variable-rate payments in exchange for making fixed-rate payments (dollars in thousands):

At March 31, 2023, after giving effect to our interest rate derivative agreements, $757.8 million, or 51.3%, of our consolidated debt had fixed interest rates and $719.6 million, or 48.7%, had variable interest rates. 

Our variable rate debt increased $90.0 million compared to the same period of the prior year, due in part to $47.0 million of new variable rate debt obtained in the Brickell transaction, and the defeasance of $88.4 million of fixed rate debt (funded with available cash and line of credit borrowings) during the third and fourth quarters of 2022.

At MarchDecember 31, 2022, after giving effect to our interest rate derivative agreements, $848.2$758.4 million, or 57%51.8%, of our debt had fixed interest rates and $648.4$704.7 million, or 43%, had variable interest rates.  The percentage of debt with fixed rates increased during the first nine months 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, 2021, after giving effect to our interest rate derivative agreements, $842.9 million, or 78%, of our debt had fixed interest rates and $238.5 million, or 22%48.2%, 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 $6.5$7.2 million per year. See "Note 7 - Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging" to the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

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. AtAs of March 31, 2022,2023, we have scheduled debt principal amortization payments during the next twelve months totaling $3.4$2.2 million and debt maturities totaling $62.0 million.when taking into consideration extension options available to us.

On March 24, 2023, subsidiaries of the GIC Joint Venture that are the borrowers under the GIC Joint Venture Term Loan entered into two $100.0 million interest rate swaps to fix one-month term SOFR until January 2026. The interest rate swaps have an effective date of July 1, 2023 and a termination date of January 13, 2026. Pursuant to the interest rate swaps, we will pay a fixed rate of 3.354% and receive the one-month term SOFR floating rate index.
