1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Organization

~~Organization~~

Apple Hospitality REIT, Inc., formed in November 2007 as a Virginia corporation, together with its wholly-owned subsidiaries (the “Company”), is a self-advised real estate investment trust (“REIT”) that invests in income-producing real estate, primarily in the lodging sector, in the United States (“U.S.”). The Company’s fiscal year end is December 31. The Company has no foreign operations or assets, and its operating structure includes only 1one reportable segment. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Although the Company has interests in potential variable interest entities through its purchase commitments, it is not the primary beneficiary as the Company does not have any elements of power in the decision-making process of these ~~entities, and~~entities; therefore, the Company does not consolidate the entities. As of March 31, ~~2022,~~2023, the Company owned ~~219~~220 hotels with an aggregate of ~~28,747~~28,984 rooms located in 3637 states. The Company’s common shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the ticker symbol “APLE.”

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations for reporting on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. These unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2021~~2022 (the ~~“2021~~“2022 Form 10-K”). Operating results for the three months ended March 31, ~~2022~~2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the twelve-month period ending December 31, ~~2022.~~2023.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

~~Coronavirus COVID-19 Pandemic~~

As a result of the coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic (“COVID-19”) and the impact it has had on travel and the broader economy throughout the U.S. since March 2020, the Company’s hotels have experienced significant declines in occupancy, which have had and may continue to have a negative effect on the Company’s revenue and operating results. While occupancy recovered significantly during 2021 and the first three months of 2022, there remains significant uncertainty as to when operations at the hotels will return to pre-pandemic levels.

Net Income ~~(Loss)~~ Per Common Share

Basic net income ~~(loss)~~ per common share is computed based upon the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income ~~(loss)~~ per common share is calculated after giving effect to all potential common shares that were dilutive and outstanding for the period. Basic and diluted net income ~~(loss)~~ per common share were the same for each of the periods presented.

~~Accounting Standards Recently Adopted~~

~~Reference Rate Reform~~

~~In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2020-04,~~ ~~Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848)~~, which provides optional guidance through December 31, 2022 to ease the potential burden in accounting for, or recognizing the effects of, reference rate reform on financial reporting. In January 2021, ~~the FASB issued 2021-01,~~ ~~Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848), Scope,~~ ~~which further clarified the scope of the reference rate reform optional practical expedients and exceptions outlined in Topic 848.~~ The amendments in ASU Nos. 2020-04 and 2021-01 apply to contract modifications that replace a reference rate affected by reference rate reform, providing optional expedients regarding the measurement of hedge effectiveness in hedging relationships that have been modified to replace a reference rate. The guidance in ASU Nos. 2020-04 and 2021-01 became effective upon issuance and the provisions of the ASUs have not had a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures as of March 31, 2022.~~The provisions of these updates will generally affect the Company by allowing, among other things, the following:~~

~~Index~~

•

Modifications of the Company’s unsecured credit facilities (as defined below) to replace the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) with a substitute index to be accounted for as a non-substantial modification and not be considered a debt extinguishment.

•

~~Changes to the floating interest rate index used in the Company’s interest rate swaps to not be considered a change to the critical~~ ~~terms of the hedge and therefore not requiring a dedesignation of the hedging relationship.~~

The Company’s unsecured credit facilities and interest rate swap agreements have provisions in place regarding the selection of replacement reference rates upon the discontinuance of LIBOR, and the Company anticipates that it may enter into amendments to clarify the replacement reference rates in the future.

~~Accounting for Certain Equity Options~~

~~In May 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-04,~~ ~~Issuer’s Accounting for Certain Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options (Topics 260, 470, 718 and 815)~~, which provides updated guidance to clarify and reduce diversity in an issuer’s accounting for modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options that remain equity classified after modification or exchange. The provisions of this update are effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2021. The adoption of this update is not material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

~~Accounting for Funds Received as Government Assistance~~

~~In November 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-10,~~ ~~Government Assistance (Topic 832)~~ to increase the transparency of government assistance disclosures including the disclosure of (1) the types of assistance, (2) an entity’s accounting for the assistance, and (3) the effect of the assistance on an entity’s financial statements. ~~The provisions of this update are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2021.~~ ~~The adoption of this update is not expected to be material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.~~

In ~~2021,~~2022, the Company ~~used borrowings under~~utilized its ~~Revolving Credit Facility~~available cash on hand and a $50 million draw on its $575 million term loan facility (as defined below) to purchase the Madison, Wisconsin and Memphis, Tennessee hotels, used available cash to purchase the Portland, Maine and Greenville, South Carolina hotels and used a mix of available cash and borrowings under its Revolving Credit Facility to purchase the Fort Worth, Texas and Portland, Oregonboth hotels. The acquisitions of these hotel properties were accounted for as acquisitions of asset groups, whereby costs incurred to effect the acquisitions (which were not significant) were capitalized as part of the cost of the assets acquired. For the 1 hotel acquired during the three months ended March 31, 2021, the amount of revenue and operating loss included in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations from the date of acquisition through March 31, 2021 was approximately $0.1 million and $(0.5) million, respectively.

~~Seattle Land Acquisition~~

On August 16, 2021, the Company purchased the fee interest in the land at the Seattle, Washington Residence Inn, previously held under a finance ground lease. The Company utilized $24.0 million of its available cash and entered into a ~~one-year~~ note payable to the seller for $56.0 million to fund the purchase price of $80.0 million. The note payable bears interest, which is payable monthly, at a fixed annual rate of 4.0%. The land purchase was accounted for as a retirement of the finance lease, with the difference of $16.6 million between the carrying amount of the net right-of-use asset of $94.5 million and the finance lease liability of $111.1 million applied as an adjustment to the carrying amount of the acquired land.

Hotel Purchase Contract Commitments

As of March 31, ~~2022,~~2023, the Company had 1separate outstanding ~~contract, which was entered into during 2021,~~contracts for the potential purchase of two hotels for a ~~hotel in Madison, Wisconsin for an~~total expected purchase price of approximately ~~$78.6~~$109.6 million. Of these two hotels, one is already in operation, and the Company plans to complete the purchase of this hotel in the second quarter of 2023. The other purchase contract is for a hotel under development that is currently ~~under development and is expected~~planned to be completed and opened for business in early 2024, ~~as a 260-room Embassy Suites. As~~at which time the Company expects to complete the purchase of ~~March 31, 2022, a $0.9 million contract deposit (refundable if the seller does not meet its obligations under the contract) had been paid.~~this hotel.

5. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Except as described below, the carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments.

Debt

The Company estimates the fair value of its debt by discounting the future cash flows of each instrument at estimated market rates consistent with the maturity of a debt obligation with similar credit terms and credit characteristics, which are Level 3 inputs under the fair value hierarchy. Market rates take into consideration general market conditions and maturity. As of March 31, ~~2022 and December 31, 2021,~~2023, both the carrying value and estimated fair value of the Company’s debt were approximately ~~$1.4~~$1.4 billion. As of December 31, 2022, the carrying value and estimated fair value of the Company’s debt were approximately $1.4 billion and $1.3 billion, respectively. Both the carrying value and estimated fair value of the Company’s debt (as discussed above) are net of unamortized debt issuance costs related to term loans, senior notes and mortgage debt for each specific year.

~~Index~~

Derivative Instruments

Currently, the Company uses interest rate swaps to manage its interest rate risk on variable-rate debt. Throughout the terms of these interest rate swaps, the Company pays a fixed rate of interest and receives a floating rate of interest equal to the one-month ~~LIBOR.~~SOFR plus a 0.10% SOFR spread adjustment. The swaps are designed to effectively fix the interest payments on variable-rate debt

instruments. These swap instruments are recorded at fair value and, if in an asset position, are included in other assets, net, and, if in a liability position, are included in accounts payable and other liabilities in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The fair values of the Company’s interest rate swap agreements are determined using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash payments and the discounted expected variable cash receipts, which is considered a Level 2 measurement under the fair value hierarchy. The variable cash receipts are based on an expectation of future interest rates (forward curves) derived from observable market interest rate curves. The following table sets forth information for each of the Company’s interest rate swap agreements outstanding as of March 31, ~~2022~~2023 and December 31, ~~2021.~~2022.

The Company assesses, both at inception and on an ongoing basis, the effectiveness of its qualifying cash flow hedges. As of March 31, ~~2022,~~2023, all of the 13 active interest rate swap agreements listed above were designated as cash flow hedges. The change in the fair value of the Company’s designated cash flow hedges is recorded to accumulated other comprehensive income, a component of shareholders’ equity in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive income will be reclassified to interest and other expense, net as interest payments are made or received on the Company’s variable-rate derivatives. The Company estimates that approximately ~~$0.2~~$16.6 million of net unrealized gains included in accumulated other comprehensive income at March 31, ~~2022~~2023 will be reclassified as a decrease to interest and other expense, net within the next 12 months.

The following table presents the effect of derivative instruments in cash flow hedging relationships in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income ~~(loss)~~ for the three months ended March 31, ~~2022~~2023 and ~~2021~~2022 (in thousands):

6. Related Parties

The Company has engaged in, and is expected to continue to engage in, transactions with related parties. These transactions cannot be construed to be at arm’s length, and the results of the Company’s operations may behave been different if these transactions were conducted with non-related parties. There have been no changes to the contracts and relationships discussed in the ~~2021~~2022 Form 10-K. Below is a summary of the significant related party relationships in effect during the three months ended March 31, ~~2022~~2023 and ~~2021.~~2022.

Glade M. Knight, Executive Chairman of the Company, owns Apple Realty Group, Inc. (“ARG”), which receives support services from the Company and reimburses the Company for the cost of these services as discussed below. Mr. Knight is also currently a partner and Chief Executive Officer of Energy 11 GP, LLC and Energy Resources 12 GP, LLC, which are the respective general partners of Energy 11, L.P. and Energy Resources 12, L.P., each of which receives support services from ARG.

The Company provides support services, including the use of the Company’s employees and corporate office, to ARG and is reimbursed by ARG for the cost of these services. Under this cost sharing structure, amounts reimbursed to the Company include both compensation for personnel and office related costs (including office rent, utilities, office supplies, etc.) used by ARG. The amounts reimbursed to the Company are based on the actual costs of the services and a good faith estimate of the proportionate amount of time incurred by the Company’s employees on behalf of ARG. Total reimbursed costs allocated by the Company to ARG for ~~both~~each of the three ~~months~~month periods ended March 31, ~~2022~~2023 and ~~2021~~2022 totaled approximately ~~$0.2~~$0.2 million, and are recorded as a reduction to general and administrative expenses in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.

As part of the cost sharing arrangement, certain day-to-day transactions may result in amounts due to or from the Company and ARG. To efficiently manage cash disbursements, the Company or ARG may make payments for the other company. Under this cash management process, each company may advance or defer up to $1$1 million at any time. Each quarter, any outstanding amounts are settled between the companies. This process allows each company to minimize its cash on hand and reduces the cost for each company. The amounts outstanding at any point in time are not significant to either of the companies. As of March 31, ~~2022~~2023 and December 31, ~~2021,~~2022, total amounts due from ARG for reimbursements under the cost sharing structure totaled approximately ~~$0.2~~$0.2 million and ~~$0.3~~$0.4 million, respectively, and are included in other assets, net in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

The Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Apple Air Holding, LLC, owns a Learjet used primarily for acquisition, asset management, renovation, ~~and~~ investor, corporate and public relations and other business purposes. The aircraft is also leased to affiliates of the Company based on third-party ~~rates, which leasing~~rates. Lease activity was not significant during the reporting periods.

From time to time, the Company utilizes aircraft, owned by an entity which is owned by the Company’s Executive Chairman, for acquisition, asset management, renovation, ~~and~~ investor, corporate and public relations and other business purposes, and reimburses this entity at ~~third party~~third-party rates. Total costs incurred for the use of ~~these~~the aircraft during the three months ended March 31, ~~2021~~2023 and 2022 were less than ~~$0.1~~$0.1 million and are included in general and administrative expenses in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. ~~The Company did not use these aircraft during~~

As of March 31, 2023, approximately $338.8 million remained available for purchase under the Share Repurchase Program.

8. Compensation Plans

The Company annually establishes an incentive plan for its executive management team.

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

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by use of statements that include phrases such as “may,” “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “estimate,” “project,” “target,” “goal,” “plan,” “should,” “will,” “predict,” “potential,” “outlook,” “strategy,” and similar expressions that convey the uncertainty of future events or outcomes. Such statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance, or achievements of the Company to be materially different from future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.

Currently, one of the most significant factors that could cause actual outcomes to differ materially from the Company’s forward-looking statements continues to be the adverse effect of COVID-19, including resurgences and variants, on the Company’s business, financial performance and condition, operating results and cash flows, the real estate market and the hospitality industry specifically, and the global economy and financial markets generally. The significance, extent and duration of the continued impacts caused by the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence at this time, including the scope, severity and duration of the pandemic, the extent and effectiveness of the actions taken to contain the pandemic or mitigate its impact, the efficacy, acceptance and availability of vaccines, the duration of associated immunity and efficacy of the vaccines against variants of COVID-19, the potential for additional hotel closures/consolidations that may be mandated or advisable, whether based on increased COVID-19 cases, new variants or other factors, the slowing or potential rollback of “reopenings” in certain states, and the direct and indirect economic effects of the pandemic and containment measures, among others. Moreover, investors are cautioned to interpret many of the risks identified under the section titled “Risk Factors” in the Company’s 2021 Form 10-K as being heightened as a result of the ongoing and numerous adverse impacts of COVID-19. AdditionalSuch factors include, but are not limited to, the ability of the Company to effectively acquire and dispose of properties and redeploy proceeds; the anticipated timing and frequency of shareholder distributions; the ability of the Company to fund capital obligations; the ability of the Company to successfully integrate pending transactions and implement its operating strategy; changes in general political, economic and competitive conditions and specific market ~~conditions;~~conditions (including the potential effects of inflation or a recessionary environment); reduced business and leisure travel due to geopolitical uncertainty, including terrorism, travel-related health concerns, including ~~the~~ COVID-19 ~~pandemic~~ or ~~an increase in COVID-19 cases or any~~ other widespread outbreaks of infectious or contagious diseases in the U.S.; inclement weather conditions, including natural disasters such as hurricanes, earthquakes and wildfires; government shutdowns, airline strikes or ~~abroad;~~other disruptions; adverse changes in the real estate and real estate capital markets; financing risks; changes in interest rates; litigation risks; regulatory proceedings or inquiries; and changes in laws or regulations or interpretations of current laws and regulations that impact the Company’s business, assets or classification as a REIT. Although the Company believes that the assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements contained herein are reasonable, any of the assumptions could be inaccurate, and therefore there can be no assurance that such statements included in this Quarterly Report will prove to be accurate. In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking statements included herein, the inclusion of such information should not be regarded as a representation by the Company or any other person that the results or conditions described in such statements or the objectives and plans of the Company will be achieved. In addition, the Company’s qualification as a REIT involves the application of highly technical and complex provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). Readers should carefully review the risk factors described in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), including but not limited to those discussed in the section titled “Risk Factors” in the ~~2021~~2022 Form 10-K. Any forward-looking statement that the Company makes speaks only as of the date of this Quarterly Report. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements or cautionary factors, as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise, except as required by law.

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto, appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as well as the information contained in the ~~2021~~2022 Form 10-K.

The Company is a Virginia corporation that has elected to be treated as a REIT for federal income tax purposes. The Company is self-advised and invests in income-producing real estate, primarily in the lodging sector, in the U.S. As of March 31, ~~2022,~~2023, the Company owned ~~219~~220 hotels with an aggregate of ~~28,747~~28,984 rooms located in urban, high-end suburban and developing markets throughout 3637 states. Substantially all of the Company’s hotels operate under Marriott or Hilton brands. The hotels are operated and managed under separate management agreements with 17 hotel management companies, none of which are affiliated with the Company. The Company’s common shares are listed on the NYSE under the ticker symbol “APLE.”

The ~~Impact~~Company continually monitors market conditions and attempts to maximize shareholder value by investing in properties that it believes provide superior value over the long term. Consistent with this strategy and the Company’s focus on investing in rooms-focused hotels, as of ~~COVID-19 on~~March 31, 2023, the Company had separate outstanding contracts for the potential purchase of two hotels, consisting of one hotel in Madison, Wisconsin and ~~Hospitality Industry~~

one hotel in Cleveland, Ohio, for a total combined purchase price of approximately $109.6 million. Of these two hotels, one is already in operation, and the Company plans to complete the purchase of this hotel in the second quarter of 2023. The ~~COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted~~other purchase contract is for a hotel under development that is currently planned to be completed and opened for business in early 2024, at which time the ~~U.S.~~Company expects to complete the purchase of this hotel. Although the Company is working towards acquiring these hotels, there are a number of conditions to closing that have not yet been satisfied, and ~~global economies and financial markets. The effect of COVID-19~~there can be no assurance that closings on these hotels will occur under the ~~hotel industry has been unprecedented and has dramatically reduced business and impacted leisure travel, which adversely impacted~~outstanding purchase contracts.

For its existing portfolio, the Company monitors each property’s profitability, market conditions and ~~duration~~capital requirements and attempts to maximize shareholder value by disposing of properties when it believes that superior value can be provided from the sale of the ~~COVID-19 effects continue to remain unknown, and these uncertainties continue to make it difficult~~ ~~to project the depth and the duration of revenue declines compared to pre-pandemic levels for the industry and the Company~~.property. The Company ~~has experienced significant improvement in its business~~did not dispose of any properties during the ~~twelve~~three months ended ~~December~~March 31, ~~2021 and through the first quarter of 2022 driven by strength in leisure and small group demand. While the Company has seen continued improvement in business demand, it~~ ~~does not expect a full recovery in results to pre-pandemic levels until business travel improves.~~2023.

As of March 31, ~~2022,~~2023, the Company owned 220 hotels with a total of 28,984 rooms as compared to 219 hotels with a total of 28,747 rooms as ~~compared to 233 hotels with a total of 29,855 rooms as~~ of March 31, ~~2021.~~2022. Results of operations are included only for the period of ownership for hotels acquired or disposed of during the current reporting period and prior year. During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company did not acquire or dispose of any properties.~~During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company acquired one newly constructed hotel on February 18, 2021 and sold one hotel on February 25, 2021 and one hotel on March 16, 2021~~.

In evaluating financial condition and operating performance, the most important indicators on which the Company focuses are revenue measurements, such as average occupancy, average daily rate (“ADR”) and revenue per available room (“RevPAR”), and expenses, such as hotel operating expenses, general and administrative expenses and other expenses described below. RevPAR and operating results may be impacted by regional and local economies as well as changes in lodging demand due to macroeconomic factors including inflationary pressures, higher energy prices or a recessionary environment.

The following is a summary of the results from operations of the Company’s hotels for their respective periods of ownership by the Company:

~~The following table highlights the Company’s quarterly ADR, Occupancy, RevPAR,~~ net income (loss) and adjusted hotel earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization for real estate (“Adjusted Hotel EBITDA”), which has been impacted by COVID-19, during the last five quarters (in thousands except statistical data):

~~While the Company experienced its most significant decline~~ in operating results (driven by the impact of COVID-19) during 2020 and the first quarter of 2021, occupancy and RevPAR have since shown improvement with a RevPAR increase of 67.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to the same period in 2021. Although the Company expects continued recovery in rate and occupancy, it is difficult to project the depth and duration of revenue declines compared to pre-pandemic levels and future revenues and operating results could be negatively impacted by, among other things, historical seasonal trends, new COVID-19 variants, state and local governments and businesses reverting to tighter mitigation restrictions, deterioration of consumer sentiment, labor shortages, supply chain disruptions or inflationary pressures.

The following table reflects certain operating statistics for the Company’s ~~219~~220 hotels owned as of March 31, ~~2022~~2023 (“Comparable Hotels”). The Company defines metrics from Comparable Hotels as results generated by the ~~219~~220 hotels owned as of the end of the reporting period. For the hotels acquired during the reporting periods shown, the Company has included, as applicable, results of those hotels for periods prior to the Company’s ownership using information provided by the properties’ prior owners at the time of acquisition and not adjusted by the Company. This information has not been audited, either for the periods owned or prior to ownership by the Company. For dispositions, results have been excluded for the Company’s period of ownership.

The following table reflects certain operating statistics for the ~~211~~204 hotels owned by the Company as of January 1, ~~2021~~2019 and during the entirety of the reporting periods being compared (“Same Store Hotels”). This information has not been audited.

As discussed above, hotel performance is impacted by many factors, including the economic conditions in the U.S. as well as each individual locality. ~~COVID-19 has been negatively affecting the U.S. hotel industry since March 2020.~~ The Company’s Same Store Hotels revenue and operating results improved during the three months ended March 31, ~~2022~~2023, compared to the three months ended March 31, ~~2021,~~2022, which is consistent with the overall lodging ~~industry. However,~~industry, as ~~a result~~hotel occupancy was negatively impacted in many markets by the Omicron variant of COVID-19 during the three months ended March 31, 2022. The Company’s ~~revenue~~Same Store Hotels RevPAR increased approximately 18.1% and ~~operating results have declined as~~4.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to ~~2019. While~~ the ~~Company anticipates further improvement to RevPAR compared to 2021, the Company can give no assurances as~~same period in 2022 and 2019 (the last year prior to the ~~amount or period of improvement due to the uncertainty regarding the duration and long-term impact of COVID-19.~~

The Company’s principal source of revenue is hotel revenue consisting of room, food and beverage, and other related revenue. For the three months ended March 31, ~~2022~~2023 and ~~2021,~~2022, the Company had total revenue of ~~$260.5~~$311.5 million and ~~$158.7~~$260.5 million, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, ~~2022~~2023 and ~~2021,~~2022, respectively, Comparable Hotels achieved combined average occupancy of ~~67.1%~~72.0% and ~~55.4%~~67.0%, ADR of ~~$137.03~~$152.01 and ~~$99.98~~$137.02 and RevPAR of ~~$91.98~~$109.46 and ~~$55.34.~~$91.80. ADR is calculated as room revenue divided by the number of rooms sold, and RevPAR is calculated as occupancy multiplied by ADR.

Compared to the same period in ~~2021,~~2022, during the three months ended March 31, ~~2022,~~2023, the Company experienced increases in ADR and occupancy, resulting in an increase of ~~66.2%~~19.2% in RevPAR for Comparable Hotels. ~~As compared~~Compared to the ~~first quarter~~same periods of 2019 (pre-COVID-19), Comparable Hotels RevPAR for the first quarter of ~~2022 decreased~~2023 increased by ~~10.9%~~6.2% primarily as a result of ~~a 9.1% reduction~~increases in ~~occupancy (due~~ADR, offset by reductions in ~~part to cancellations in January and February attributed to the Omicron COVID-19 variant), as Comparable Hotels ADR decreased by only 2.0%.~~occupancy. Revenue ~~recovery~~growth in the ~~first quarter of 2022~~three months ended March 31, 2023, as compared to the ~~first quarter~~same period of ~~2021~~2022, was led by leisure transient and small group demand, with increased demand from ~~small~~ corporate business. ~~Suburban~~Additionally, occupancy for the first quarter of 2022 was negatively impacted in many markets by the Omicron variant of COVID-19. The Company’s suburban markets continued to see stronger demand than urban markets and the Sun Belt generally outperformed other regions of the U.S. Throughout the hospitality industry, demand for upscale and upper mid-scale chain scales have outperformed luxury and upper upscale chain scales and suburban locations have outperformed urban locations. The Company expects ~~improvement~~revenue trends to continue, however, future year-over-year revenue growth will likely be at a lower rate given the favorable first quarter comparison between 2023 and 2022 due to the Omicron variant of COVID-19 negatively impacting the first quarter of 2022. Furthermore, future revenues could be negatively impacted by, among other things, historical seasonal trends, ~~an increase in COVID-19 cases, new COVID-19 variants, state and local governments and businesses reverting to tighter mitigation restrictions, or~~ deterioration of consumer ~~sentiment.~~sentiment, a recessionary macroeconomic environment or inflationary pressures.

Hotel operating expense consists of direct room operating expense, hotel administrative expense, sales and marketing expense, utilities expense, repair and maintenance expense, franchise fees and management fees. Hotel operating expense for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 ~~and 2021~~ totaled ~~$154.0~~$185.2 million and ~~$103.7~~$154.0 million, respectively, or ~~59.1%~~59.5% and ~~65.4%~~59.1% of total revenue for the respective periods. ~~Comparatively, prior to COVID-19,~~The increase in hotel operating expense ~~was 57.8% of total revenue~~ for the three months ended March 31, ~~2019.~~

~~The impact~~2023, as compared to the same period in 2022, was due to increased labor, repairs and maintenance and utility costs driven by increased staff and inflationary pressures throughout the overall economy. Occupancy increased for the three months ended March 31, 2023, as compared to the same period of 2022, largely due to negative impacts from the ~~pandemic has varied and will continue to vary by market and hotel. With~~Omicron variant of COVID-19 throughout most markets during the ~~support~~first quarter of its brands and third-party management companies, the Company has worked to reduce costs associated with operating hotels in a lower occupancy environment than that experienced prior to COVID-19. As occupancy has increased, adding2022. Adding staff to meet increased demand has been challenging, and while the Company’s hotels made progress in filling open positions ~~through~~in the first quarter of ~~2022,~~2023, they have often done so at higher wage rates or with more expensive contract labor as compared to ~~2021.~~2022. Likewise, ~~supply chain disruptions and~~ broader inflationary pressures throughout the overall economy and global tensions have driven shortages and cost increases for utilities, materials and supplies such as food and equipment. The Company continues to work with its management companies to realize operational efficiencies and mitigate the impact of cost pressures resulting from ~~supply chain shortages,~~ inflation and staffing challenges. The Company will continue to evaluate and work with its management companies to implement adjustments to the hotel operating model in response to continued changes in the operating environment and guest preferences including evaluating staffing levels at its hotels to maximize efficiency.

General and administrative expense for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, ~~and 2021~~ was ~~$9.6~~$11.5 million and ~~$8.1~~$9.6 million, respectively, or 3.7% ~~and 5.1%~~ of total revenue for ~~the respective periods.~~each period. The principal components of general and administrative expense are payroll and related benefit costs, executive incentive compensation, legal fees, accounting fees and reporting expenses.

The Company did not recognize any loss on the impairment of depreciable real estate assets for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Loss on impairment of depreciable real estate assets was $10.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021,

consisting of impairment losses of $1.3 million for the Overland Park, Kansas SpringHill Suites and $9.4 million for four hotel properties identified by the Company in the first quarter of 2021 for potential sale. See Note 3 titled “Dispositions” in the Company’s Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto, appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, for additional information concerning these impairment losses.benefit costs.

Depreciation and amortization expense for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, ~~and 2021~~ was ~~$45.3~~$45.9 million and ~~$48.7~~$45.3 million, respectively. Depreciation and amortization expense primarily represents expense of the Company’s hotel buildings and related improvements, and associated personal property (furniture, fixtures, and equipment) for the respective periods owned. The ~~decrease~~increase of approximately $0.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to the same period in 2022, was primarily due to the ~~hotel dispositions~~acquisition of two hotels in the fourth quarter of 2022 and renovations completed throughout ~~2021,~~2022 and 2023, partially offset by ~~acquisitions completed throughout 2021.~~the sale of one hotel in the third quarter of 2022.

Interest and other expense, net for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, ~~and 2021~~ was ~~$14.7~~$16.0 million and ~~$18.5~~$14.7 million, respectively. Interest and other expense, net for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, is net of approximately $0.6 million and $0.2 million, respectively, of interest capitalized associated with renovation projects. Additionally, interest and other expense, net for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 includes approximately $1.5 million and $2.9 million, respectively, of interest recorded on the Company’s finance lease liabilities.

Interest expense related to the Company’s debt instruments for the three months ended March 31, ~~2022 decreased~~2023 increased compared to the three months ended March 31, ~~2021~~2022 as a result of ~~both lower~~increased average borrowings and ~~lower~~higher average interest rates ason the ~~Company exited~~Company's variable-rate debt due to the ~~Extended Covenant Waiver Period in July 2021.~~high inflationary environment within the current economy.

In addition, interest on the Company’s finance leases decreased $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021 due to the August 16, 2021 purchase of the fee interest in the land at the Company’s Seattle, Washington Residence Inn that was previously under a ground lease.rates.

The Company considers the following non-GAAP financial measures useful to investors as key supplemental measures of its operating performance: Funds from Operations (“FFO”), Modified Funds from Operations (“MFFO”), Earnings Before Interest, Income Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”), Earnings Before Interest, Income Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization for Real Estate (“EBITDAre”), Adjusted EBITDAre (“Adjusted EBITDAre”) and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered along with, but not as alternatives to, net income (loss), cash flow from operations or any other operating GAAP measure. FFO, MFFO, EBITDA, EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDAre and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA are not necessarily indicative of funds available to fund the Company’s cash needs, including its ability to make cash distributions. Although FFO, MFFO, EBITDA, EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDAre and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA, as calculated by the Company, may not be comparable to FFO, MFFO, EBITDA, EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDAre and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA, as reported by other companies that do not define such terms exactly as the Company defines such terms, the Company believes these supplemental measures are useful to investors when comparing the Company’s results between periods and with other REITs.

The Company calculates and presents FFO in accordance with standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“Nareit”), which defines FFO as net income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains and losses from the sale of certain real estate assets (including gains and losses from change in control), extraordinary items as defined by GAAP, and the cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles, plus real estate related depreciation, amortization and impairments, and adjustments for unconsolidated affiliates. Historical cost accounting for real estate assets implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values instead have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, most real estate industry investors consider FFO to be helpful in evaluating a real estate company’s operations. The Company further believes that by excluding the effects of these items, FFO is useful to investors in comparing its operating performance between periods and between REITs that report FFO using the Nareit definition. FFO as presented by the Company is applicable only to its common shareholders, but does not represent an amount that accrues directly to common shareholders.

The Company calculates MFFO by further adjusting FFO for the exclusion of amortization of finance ground lease assets, amortization of favorable and unfavorable operating leases, net and non-cash straight-line operating ground lease expense, as these

expenses do not reflect the underlying performance of the related hotels. The Company presents MFFO when evaluating its

performance because it believes that it provides further useful supplemental information to investors regarding its ongoing operating performance.

The following table reconciles the Company’s GAAP net income ~~(loss)~~ to FFO and MFFO for the three months ended March 31, ~~2022~~2023 and ~~2021~~2022 (in thousands):

EBITDA is a commonly used measure of performance in many industries and is defined as net income (loss) excluding interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. The Company believes EBITDA is useful to investors because it helps the Company and its investors evaluate the ongoing operating performance of the Company by removing the impact of its capital structure (primarily interest expense) and its asset base (primarily depreciation and amortization). In addition, certain covenants included in the agreements governing the Company’s indebtedness use EBITDA, as defined in the specific credit agreement, as a measure of financial compliance.

In addition to EBITDA, the Company also calculates and presents EBITDAre in accordance with standards established by Nareit, which defines EBITDAre as EBITDA, excluding gains and losses from the sale of certain real estate assets (including gains and losses from change in control), plus real estate related impairments, and adjustments to reflect the entity’s share of EBITDAre of unconsolidated affiliates. The Company presents EBITDAre because it believes that it provides further useful information to investors in comparing its operating performance between periods and between REITs that report EBITDAre using the Nareit definition.

The Company also considers the exclusion of non-cash straight-line operating ground lease expense from EBITDAre useful, as this expense does not reflect the underlying performance of the related hotels (Adjusted EBITDAre).

The Company further excludes actual corporate-level general and administrative expense for the Company from Adjusted EBITDAre (Adjusted Hotel EBITDA) to isolate property-level operational performance over which the Company’s hotel operators have direct control. The Company believes Adjusted Hotel EBITDA provides useful supplemental information to investors regarding operating performance and is used by management to measure the performance of the Company’s hotels and effectiveness of the operators of the hotels.

The following table reconciles the Company’s GAAP net income ~~(loss)~~ to EBITDA, EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDAre and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA ~~by quarter~~ for the ~~last five quarters~~three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 (in thousands):

As of March 31, ~~2022,~~2023, the Company owned ~~219~~220 hotels with an aggregate of ~~28,747~~28,984 rooms located in 3637 states. The following tables summarize the number of hotels and rooms by brand and by state:

The Company has engaged in, and is expected to continue to engage in, transactions with related parties. These transactions cannot be construed to be at arm’s length, and the results of the Company’s operations may be different if these transactions were conducted with non-related parties. See Note 6 titled “Related Parties” in the Company’s Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto, appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, for additional information concerning the Company’s related party transactions.

The Company’s principal short term sources of liquidity are the operating cash flows generated from the Company’s properties and availability under its Revolving Credit Facility. Over the long term, the Company may receive proceeds from strategic additional secured and unsecured debt financing, dispositions of its hotel properties and offerings of the Company’s common shares, including pursuant to the ATM Program. Macroeconomic pressures, including inflation, increases in interest rates and general market uncertainty, could impact the Company’s ability to raise debt or equity capital to fund long-term liquidity requirements in a cost-effective manner.

As of March 31, ~~2022,~~2023, the Company had $1.4 billion of total outstanding debt consisting of ~~$491.5~~$289.6 million of mortgage debt and ~~$946.5 million~~$1.1 billion outstanding under its unsecured credit facilities, excluding unamortized debt issuance costs and fair value adjustments. As of March 31, ~~2022,~~2023, the Company had available corporate cash on hand of approximately ~~$0.6~~$6.1 million, ~~as well as~~and unused borrowing capacity under its Revolving Credit Facility of approximately ~~$348.5~~$609.5 million.

The credit agreements governing the unsecured credit facilities contain mandatory prepayment requirements, customary affirmative and negative covenants and events of default. The credit agreements require that the Company comply with various covenants, which include, among others, a minimum tangible net worth, maximum debt limits, minimum interest and fixed charge coverage ratios, and restrictions on certain investments.

~~As a result of COVID-19 and~~The Company was in compliance with the ~~associated disruption to the Company’s operating results, the Company entered into amendments in June 2020 that suspended the testing of the Company’s existing financial maintenance~~applicable covenants under the unsecured credit facilities. These amendments imposed certain restrictions regarding the Company’s investing and financing activities that were applicable during a specified waiver period, including, but not limited to, limitations on the acquisition of property, payment of distributions to shareholders ~~(except to the extent required to maintain REIT status), capital expenditures and use of proceeds from the sale of property or common shares of the Company, that applied during such testing suspension period. On March 1, 2021,~~ as a result of the continued disruption from COVID-19 and the related uncertainty with respect to the Company’s future operating results, the Company entered into the March 2021 amendments to extend the covenant waiver period for all but two of the Company’s existing

financial maintenance covenants until the date that the compliance certificate was required to be delivered for the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2022 (unless the Company elected an earlier date) (the “Extended Covenant Waiver Period”). The testing for the Minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio and the Minimum Unsecured Interest Coverage Ratio was suspended until the compliance certificate was required to be delivered for the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2022 (unless the Company elected an earlier date). The March 2021 amendments provided for continued restrictions on the Company’s ability to make cash distributions, except for the payment of cash dividends of $0.01 per common share per quarter or to the extent required to maintain REIT status.

~~The March 2021 amendments also modified certain of the existing financial maintenance covenants to less restrictive levels upon exiting the Extended Covenant Waiver Period as follows~~ ~~(capitalized terms are defined in the amended credit agreements)~~:

~~Except as otherwise set forth in the amendments described above, the terms of the credit agreements remain in effect.~~

In July 2021, the Company notified its lenders under its unsecured credit facilities that it had elected to exit the Extended Covenant Waiver Period effective on July 29, 2021. Upon exiting the Extended Covenant Waiver Period, the Company is no longer subject to the restrictions described above regarding its investing and financing activities that were applicable during the Extended Covenant Waiver Period, including, but not limited to, limitations on the acquisition of property, payment of distributions to shareholders (except to the extent required to maintain REIT status), capital expenditures and use of proceeds from the sale of property or common shares of the Company. Those restrictions, including the restriction on payment of distributions to shareholders, were still in place throughout the second quarter of 2021.

As of March 31, 2022, the Company met the applicable financial maintenance covenants based on the results of the twelve months ended March 31, 2022 at the levels required for the fourth fiscal quarter tested upon exiting the Extended Covenant Waiver Period as described in Note 4 titled “Debt” in 2023.the Company’s Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto, appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The unsecured credit facilities do not provide the Company the ability to re-enter the Extended Covenant Waiver Period once it has elected to exit.

See Note 4 titled “Debt” in the Company’s Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto, appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, for a description of the Company’s debt ~~instruments~~agreements as of March 31, ~~2022.~~2023.

The Company has a universal shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (No. 333-262915) that was automatically effective upon filing on February 23, 2022. The Company may offer an indeterminate number or amount, as the case may be, of (1) common shares,

no par value per share; (2) preferred shares, no par value per share; (3) depository shares representing the Company’s preferred shares; (4) warrants exercisable for the Company’s common shares, preferred shares or depository shares representing preferred shares; (5) rights to purchase common shares; and (6) unsecured senior or subordinate debt securities, all of which may be issued from time to time on a delayed or continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. Future offerings will depend on a variety of factors to be determined by the Company, including market conditions, the trading price of the Company’s common shares and opportunities for uses of any proceeds.

~~The~~On August 12, 2020, the Company ~~has~~ entered into an equity distribution agreement pursuant to which the Company may sell, from time to time, up to an aggregate of $300 million of its common shares under the ATM Program under the Company’s prior shelf registration statement and the current shelf registration statement described above. Since inception of the ATM Program in August 2020 through March 31, ~~2022,~~2023, the Company ~~has~~ sold approximately 4.7 million common shares under its ATM Program at a weighted-average market sales price of approximately $16.26 per common share and received aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $76.0 million and proceeds net of offering costs, which included $0.9 million of commissions, of approximately $75.1 million. The Company used the net proceeds from the sale of these shares primarily to pay down borrowings under its ~~Revolving Credit Facility~~then-existing $425 million revolving credit facility and used the corresponding increased availability under the $425 million revolving credit facility for general corporate purposes, including acquisitions of hotel properties. As of March 31, ~~2022,~~2023, approximately $224.0 million remained available for issuance under the ATM Program. No shares were sold under the Company’s ATM Program induring the ~~first~~ quarter ~~of 2022 or the first quarter of 2021.~~ended March 31, 2023. The Company plans to use future net proceeds from the sale of shares under the ATM Program ~~to continue to pay down borrowings under its Revolving Credit Facility (if any). The Company plans to use the corresponding increased availability under the Revolving Credit Facility~~ for general corporate purposes which may include, among other things, acquisitions of additional properties, the repayment of ~~other~~ outstanding indebtedness, capital expenditures, improvement of properties in its portfolio and working capital. The Company may also use the net proceeds to acquire another REIT or other company that invests in income producing properties.

The Company anticipates that cash flow from operations, availability under its unsecured credit facilities, additional borrowings, and proceeds from hotel dispositions and equity offerings will be adequate to meet its anticipated liquidity requirements, including required distributions to shareholders, share repurchases, capital improvements, debt service, hotel acquisitions, lease commitments, and cash management activities.

The Company generally must distribute annually at least 90% of its REIT taxable income, subject to certain adjustments and excluding any net capital gain, in order to maintain its REIT status. ~~During the Extended Covenant Waiver Period,~~ ~~as a~~ requirement under the amendments to its unsecured credit facilities, the Company was restricted in its ability to make distributions except for the payment of cash distributions of $0.01 per common share per quarter or to the extent required to maintain REIT status.As discussed above, in July 2021, the Company notified its lenders under its unsecured credit facilities that it had elected to exit the Extended Covenant Waiver Period effective on July 29, 2021. As a result, upon exiting the Extended Covenant Waiver Period, the Company is no longer subject to the restrictions on distributions that were applicable during the Extended Covenant Waiver Period. ~~On February 22, 2022, the Company announced that its Board of Directors reinstated its policy of distributions on a monthly basis, with the first monthly cash distribution paid on March 15, 2022.~~ On March ~~18, 2022,~~20, 2023, the Company declared a monthly cash distribution of ~~$0.05~~$0.08 per common share, paid on April 17, 2023, to shareholders of record as of March 31, 2023. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company paid distributions of $0.32 per common share for ~~the month~~a total of ~~April, paid~~$73.4 million. Subsequent to quarter end, on April 18, ~~2022,~~2023, the Company declared a monthly cash distribution of $0.08 per common share, payable on May 15, 2023 to shareholders of record as of April ~~4, 2022. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company paid distributions of $0.06 per common share for a total of $13.7 million.~~28, 2023.

The Company, as it has done historically due to seasonality, may use its Revolving Credit Facility to maintain the consistency of distributions, taking into consideration any acquisitions, dispositions, capital improvements and economic cycles. ~~Any~~While management currently expects monthly cash distributions to continue at $0.08 per common share, any distribution will be subject to approval of the Company’s Board of Directors and there can be no assurance of the classification, timing or duration of distributions at any particular distribution rate. The Board of Directors monitors the Company’s distribution rate relative to the performance of its hotels on an ongoing basis and may make adjustments to the distribution rate as determined to be prudent in relation to other cash requirements of the ~~Company.~~Company or to the extent required to maintain REIT status. If cash ~~flow~~flows from operations and the Revolving Credit Facility are not adequate to meet liquidity requirements, the Company may utilize additional financing sources to make distributions. Although the Company has relatively low levels of debt, there can be no assurance it will be successful with this strategy, and it may need to reduce its distributions to minimum levels required to maintain its qualification as a real estate investment trust. If the Company were unable to extend its maturing debt in future periods or if it were to default on its debt, it may be unable to make distributions.

10b5-1 under the Exchange Act. ~~Past repurchases~~Repurchases under the Share Repurchase Program have been funded, and the Company intends to fund future ~~purchases,~~repurchases, with cash on hand or availability under its unsecured credit facilities, subject to applicable restrictions under the Company’s unsecured credit facilities (if any). The timing of share repurchases and the number of common shares to be repurchased under the Share Repurchase Program will also depend upon prevailing market conditions, regulatory requirements and other factors. As of March 31, 2023, approximately $338.8 million remained available for purchase under the Share Repurchase Program.

Management routinely monitors the condition and operations of its hotels and plans renovations and other improvements as it deems prudent. The Company is committed to maintaining and enhancing each property’s competitive position in its market. The Company has invested in and plans to continue to reinvest in its hotels. Under certain loan and management agreements, the Company is required to place in escrow funds for the repair, replacement and refurbishing of furniture, fixtures, and equipment, based on a percentage of gross revenues, provided that such amount may be used for the Company’s capital expenditures with respect to the hotels. As of March 31, ~~2022,~~2023, the Company held approximately ~~$30.9~~$29.6 million in reserve related to these properties. During the three months ended March 31, ~~2022,~~2023, the Company invested approximately ~~$8.1~~$18.4 million in capital expenditures. The Company anticipates spending approximately ~~$55~~$70 million to ~~$65~~$80 million during ~~2022,~~2023, which includes various renovation projects for approximately 20 to 25 properties, however, inflationary pressures or supply chain shortages, among other issues, may result in increased costs and delays for anticipated projects. The Company does not currently have any existing or planned projects for new property development.

The Company has approximately ~~$311.9~~$118.6 million of principal and interest payments due on its debt over the next 12 months. Included in this total is $76.5 million due under the Company’s Revolving Credit Facility, which matures on July 27, 2022, but the facility can be extended up to one year, subject to certain conditions including covenant compliance and additional fees. The Company presently has the ability to exercise this extension. Also included in the total above is approximately $180.4 million of mortgage loans

~~maturing in the second half of 2022 and first quarter of 2023,~~months, which the Company plans to pay ~~off~~ using borrowings under its Revolving Credit Facility and/or new financing. The Company has paid off $37.4 million of loans that matured in 2023, using borrowings under its unsecured credit facilities. Interest expense related to the Company’s unsecured credit facilities is expected to be higher over the next 12 months than the previous 12 months as a result of increases in market interest rates on its variable-rate debt. See Note 4 titled “Debt” in the Company’s Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto, appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form ~~10-Q.~~10-Q for more detail regarding future maturities of the Company’s debt instruments as of March 31, 2023.

As of March 31, ~~2022,~~2023, the Company had ~~one~~separate outstanding ~~contract, which was entered into during 2021,~~contracts for the potential purchase of atwo hotels, consisting of one hotel in Madison, Wisconsin and one hotel in Cleveland, Ohio, for ~~an expected~~a total combined purchase price of approximately ~~$78.6~~$109.6 million. Of these two hotels, one is already in operation, and the Company plans to complete the purchase of this hotel in the second quarter of 2023. The other purchase contract is for a hotel under development that is currently ~~under development and is expected~~planned to be completed and opened for business in early 2024,~~as a 260-room Embassy Suites.~~ at which time the Company expects to complete the purchase of this hotel. Although the Company is working towards acquiring ~~this hotel,~~these hotels, there are ~~many~~a number of conditions to closing that have not yet been satisfied, and there can be no assurance that ~~closing~~closings on ~~this hotel~~these hotels will occur under the outstanding purchase ~~contract.~~ contracts. If the sellers meet all of the conditions to closing, the Company is obligated to specifically perform under these contracts and acquire these hotels. The Company plans to utilize its available cash or borrowings under its unsecured credit facilities available at closing to purchase the ~~hotel.~~hotels under contract if closings occur.

As part of the cost sharing arrangements discussed in Note 6, titled “Related Parties” in the Company’s Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto, appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, certain day-to-day transactions may result in amounts due to or from the Company and ARG. To efficiently manage cash disbursements, the Company or ARG may make payments for the other company. Under the cash management process, each company may advance or defer up to $1 million at any time. Each quarter, any outstanding amounts are settled between the companies. This process allows each company to minimize its cash on hand and reduces the cost for each company. The amounts outstanding at any point in time are not significant to either of the companies.

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

The hotel industry historically has been seasonal in nature. Seasonal variations in occupancy at the Company’s hotels may cause quarterly fluctuations in its revenues. Generally, occupancy rates and hotel revenues for the Company’s hotels are greater in the second and third quarters than in the first and fourth quarters. However, due to the effects of COVID-19, these typical seasonal patterns have been disrupted ~~since~~in recent years. In the first quarter of ~~2020, although~~2022, the Company experienced ~~some~~lower than expected operating results due to the Omicron variant of COVID-19 along with the typical seasonal decrease ~~in demand in~~of the first ~~and fourth quarters of each year.~~quarter. Since that time, the seasonal variability has recovered to its pre-COVID-19 trend. To the extent that cash flow from operations is insufficient during any quarter due to temporary or seasonal fluctuations in revenue, the Company expects to utilize cash on hand or available financing sources to meet cash requirements.

The preparation of the Company’s financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the Company’s financial statements, the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods and the related disclosures in the Company’s Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto. The Company has discussed those policies and estimates that it believes are critical and require the use of complex judgment in their application in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2021,~~2022, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February ~~22, 2022.~~21, 2023. There have been no material changes to the Company’s critical accounting policies or the methods or assumptions ~~we apply.~~

~~See Note 1 titled “Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in~~ ~~the Company’s Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto, appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, for information on the adoption of recently issued accounting standards in the first quarter of 2022.~~Subsequent Events

On April ~~18, 2022,~~17, 2023, the Company paid approximately ~~$11.4~~$18.3 million, or ~~$0.05~~$0.08 per common share, in distributions to shareholders of record as of March 31, 2023.

~~In April 2022,~~18, 2023, the Company declared a monthly cash distribution of ~~$0.05~~$0.08 per common ~~share for the month of May 2022.~~share. The distribution is payable on May ~~16, 2022,~~15, 2023, to shareholders of record as of ~~May 3, 2022.~~April 28, 2023.

As of March 31, ~~2022,~~2023, the Company’s financial instruments were not exposed to significant market risk due to foreign currency exchange risk, commodity price risk or equity price risk. However, the Company is exposed to interest rate risk due to possible changes in short term interest rates as it invests its cash or borrows on its Revolving Credit Facility and due to the portion of its variable-rate term debt that is not fixed by interest rate swaps. As of March 31, ~~2022,~~2023, after giving effect to interest rate swaps, as described below, approximately ~~$126.5~~$315.5 million, or approximately 9%22% of the Company’s total debt outstanding, was subject to variable interest rates. Based on the Company’s variable-rate debt outstanding as of March 31, ~~2022,~~2023, every 100 basis points change in interest rates will impact the Company’s annual net income by approximately ~~$1.3~~$3.2 million, all other factors remaining the same. With the exception of interest rate swap transactions, the Company has not engaged in transactions in derivative financial instruments or derivative commodity instruments.

As of March 31, ~~2022,~~2023, the Company’s variable-rate debt consisted of its unsecured credit facilities, including borrowings outstanding under its Revolving Credit Facility and ~~$820 million~~ $1.0 billion of term loans. Currently, the Company uses interest rate swaps to manage its interest rate risk on a portion of its variable-rate debt. As of March 31, ~~2022,~~2023, the Company had 13 interest rate swap agreements that effectively fix the interest payments on approximately ~~$770.0~~$695.0 million of the Company’s variable-rate debt outstanding with swap maturity dates ranging from ~~August 2022~~January 2024 to December 2029. Under the terms of all of the Company’s interest rate swaps, the Company pays a fixed rate of interest and receives a floating rate of interest equal to the annual rate of the one-month ~~LIBOR.~~SOFR plus a 0.10% SOFR spread adjustment. See Note 5 titled “Fair Value of Financial Instruments” in the Company’s Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto, appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, for a description of the Company’s interest rate swaps as of March 31, ~~2022.~~2023.

In addition to its variable-rate debt and interest rate swaps discussed above, the Company has assumed or originated fixed interest rate mortgages payable to lenders under permanent financing arrangements as well as ~~one $50 million~~two fixed-rate senior notes ~~facility.~~facilities totaling $125 million. The following table summarizes the annual maturities and average interest rates of the Company’s mortgage debt and borrowings outstanding under its unsecured credit facilities at March 31, ~~2022.~~2023.
