EXPLANATORY NOTE
 
On August 31, 2017 (the "Acquisition Date"), RLJ Lodging Trust ("RLJ"), RLJ Lodging Trust, L.P. ("RLJ LP"), Rangers Sub I, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of RLJ LP ("Rangers"), and Rangers Sub II, LP, a wholly owned subsidiary of RLJ LP ("Partnership Merger Sub") consummated the transactions contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") dated as of April 23, 2017 with FelCor Lodging Trust Incorporated ("FelCor") and FelCor Lodging Limited Partnership ("FelCor LP"), pursuant to which Partnership Merger Sub merged with and into FelCor LP, with FelCor LP surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of RLJ LP (the "Partnership Merger"), and, immediately thereafter, FelCor merged with and into Rangers, with Rangers surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of RLJ LP (the "REIT Merger" and, together with the Partnership Merger, the "Mergers").

Where it is important to distinguish between the entities, we either refer specifically to Rangers; FelCor (as predecessorRangers or to Rangers); or FelCor LP. Otherwise, we use the terms "we" or "our" to refer to (i) Rangers and FelCor LP, collectively (including their consolidated subsidiaries) following the Mergers and (ii) FelCor and FelCor LP, collectively (including their consolidated subsidiaries) prior to consummation of the Mergers, unless the content indicates otherwise..

This quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2018March 31, 2019 combines the filings for Rangers and FelCor LP. Rangers indirectly owns a 99% partnership interest in FelCor LP. Through FelCor LP, Rangers owns hotel properties and conducts other business.

We believe combining the periodic reports for Rangers and FelCor LP into a single combined report results in the following benefits:

presents the business as a whole (the same way management views and operates the business);

eliminates duplicative disclosure and provides a more streamlined presentation (a substantial portion of our disclosure applies to both Rangers and FelCor LP); and

saves time and cost by preparing combined reports instead of separate reports.

Rangers consolidates FelCor LP for financial reporting purposes. Rangers has no assets other than its indirect investment in FelCor LP and no liabilities separate from FelCor LP. Therefore, the reported assets and liabilities for Rangers and FelCor LP are substantially identical.

RLJ LP owns 100% of Rangers. Rangers indirectly owns 99% of FelCor LP. A wholly-owned subsidiary of RLJ LP owns the remaining 1% of FelCor LP, which is a noncontrolling interest that is reflected within the equity section of the consolidated balance sheets and in the consolidated statements of equity. Apart from the different equity treatment, the consolidated financial statements for Rangers and FelCor LP are nearly identical, except that net income (loss) attributable to the 1% noncontrolling interest in FelCor LP is deducted from Rangers' net income (loss) in order to arrive at net income (loss) attributable to Rangers.

We present the sections in this report combined unless separate disclosure is required for clarity.

RLJ accounted for the Mergers noted above under the acquisition method of accounting in ASC 805, Business Combinations. In accordance with the guidance, RLJ elected to apply pushdown accounting to our consolidated financial statements in order to reflect the new basis of accounting established by RLJ for the individual assets acquired and the liabilities assumed in the Mergers. Accordingly, our consolidated financial statements for the periods before and after the Acquisition Date reflect different bases of accounting, and the financial positions and the results of operations for those periods are not comparable. As a result, the consolidated financial statements and the notes to those financial statements are separated into two distinct periods; the periods prior to the Acquisition Date are identified as "Predecessor," and the periods after the Acquisition Date are identified as "Successor." The new basis of accounting for the assets and liabilities that existed on the Acquisition Date will be used in the preparation of our future financial statements and footnotes.

Rangers Sub I, LLC and FelCor Lodging Limited Partnership
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
(unaudited)

1.             Organization
 
Rangers Sub I, LLC ("Rangers") is a Maryland limited liability company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of RLJ Lodging Trust, L.P. ("RLJ LP"). FelCor Lodging Trust Incorporated ("FelCor") merged into and with Rangers on August 31, 2017, as further described in Note 3. In the Rangers consolidated financial statements, FelCor is presented as the Predecessor and Rangers is presented as the Successor. Rangers owns an indirect 99% partnership interest in FelCor Lodging Limited Partnership ("FelCor LP"). Rangers General Partner, LLC, also a wholly-owned subsidiary of RLJ LP, owns the remaining 1% partnership interest and is the sole general partner of FelCor LP. Rangers and FelCor LP are collectively referred to as the "Company." Substantially all of the Company’s assets and liabilities are held by, and all of its operations are conducted through FelCor LP. The Company owns primarily premium-branded, upper-upscale hotels located in major markets and resort locations.

As of September 30, 2018March 31, 2019, the Company owned 3130 hotel properties with approximately 9,3658,800 rooms, located in 13 states.  The Company, through wholly-owned subsidiaries, owned a 100% interest in 2827 hotel properties, a 95% controlling interest in The Knickerbocker, and 50% interests in entities owning two hotel properties. The Company consolidates its real estate interests in the 2928 hotel properties in which it holds a controlling financial interest, and the Company records the real estate interests in the two hotels in which it holds an indirect 50% interest using the equity method of accounting. The Company leases 3029 of its 3130 hotel properties to subsidiaries of RLJ LP.

2.             Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
The combined Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20172018 of Rangers and FelCor LP contains a discussion of the Company's significant accounting policies. Other than noted below, there have been no other significant changes to the Company's significant accounting policies since December 31, 2017.2018.

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
 
The unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") and in conformity with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") applicable to financial information. The unaudited financial statements include all adjustments that are necessary, in the opinion of management, to fairly state the consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations and comprehensive income, (loss), statements of changes in equity (partners' capital) and statements of cash flows.

The unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto as of and for the year ended December 31, 20172018, included in the combined Annual Report on Form 10-K of Rangers and FelCor LP filed with the SEC on March 2, 2018.1, 2019.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Rangers, FelCor LP and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, and joint ventures in which the Company has a majority voting interest and control. For the controlled subsidiaries that are not wholly-owned, the third-party ownership interest represents a noncontrolling interest, which is presented separately in the consolidated financial statements. The Company also records the real estate interests in two joint ventures in which it holds an indirect 50% interest using the equity method of accounting. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Reclassifications
Certain prior year amounts in these financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation with no impact to net income and comprehensive income, shareholders’ equity or cash flows.

Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of the Company’s financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of certain assets and liabilities and the amounts of contingent assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.


RevenueLeases

In May 2014,February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB"(the "FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-09,2016-02, Revenue from Contracts with CustomersLeases (Topic 842), which supersedes or replaces nearly all GAAP revenueprovides the principles for the recognition, guidance. The guidance establishesmeasurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both parties to a new control-based revenue recognition model that changes the basis for deciding when revenue is recognized over time or at a point in timecontract (i.e. lessees and expands the disclosures about revenue. The guidance also applies to sales of real estate and the new principles-based approach is largely based on the transfer of control of the real estate to the buyer.lessors). The Company adopted this standard on January 1, 20182019 using the modified retrospective transition method. Basedapproach. There are two methods of applying the modified retrospective transition approach and the Company elected to not adjust the comparative periods in the consolidated financial statements and footnotes, so the Company did not recognize a cumulative effect adjustment on the Company's assessment, the adoptiondate of this standard did not have an impact to the Company's consolidated financial statements.adoption. The comparative historical periods will be presented in accordance with ASC 840, Leases.

Lease RevenueLessors

As a lessor in a lease contract, the Company classifies its leases as either an operating lease, direct financing lease, or a sales-type lease. The Company's hotel properties are leased through intercompany lease agreements.contracts. The Company's hotel property-owning subsidiaries (the "Lessors") lease the hotel properties to lessees owned by FelCor TRS Holdings, LLC ("FelCor TRS"), a subsidiary of RLJ LP (the "Lessees"). The Company classifies these lease contracts as operating leases, so the Company will continue to recognize the underlying leased asset as an investment in hotel properties on the consolidated balance sheets. Base lease revenue is reported as income by the Lessorrecognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Percentage lease revenue is reported as income by the Lessorrecognized over the lease term when it is earned and becomes receivable from the Lessees, according to the provisions of the respective lease agreements. The Lessees are in compliance with their rental obligations under their respective lease agreements.

For the Predecessor period, the Company’s revenue consisted of room revenue, food and beverage revenue, and revenue from other hotel operating departments (such as parking fees, golf, pool and other resort fees, gift shop sales and other guest service fees). These revenues were recorded net of any sales and occupancy taxes collected from the hotel guests. All rebates or discounts were recorded as a reduction to revenue, and there are no material contingent obligations with respect to rebates and discounts offered by the hotels. All revenues were recorded on an accrual basis as they were earned. An allowance for doubtful accounts is the Company's best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in the existing accounts receivable portfolio and it was recorded as a bad debt expense. The allowance for doubtful accounts was calculated as a percentage of the aged accounts receivable.  Any cash received prior to a guest's arrival was recorded as an advance deposit from the guest and recognized as revenue at the time of the guest's occupancy at the hotel property.

Investment in Hotel Properties

The Company’s acquisitions generally consist of land, land improvements, buildings, building improvements, furniture, fixtures and equipment ("FF&E"), and inventory.contracts. The Company may also acquire intangible assets or liabilities related to in-place leases, management agreements, franchise agreements and advanced bookings.  The Company allocates the purchase price among the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed based on their respective fair values at the date of acquisition. The Company determines the fair value by using market data and independent appraisals available to us and making numerous estimates and assumptions. Transaction costs are expensed for acquisitions that are considered business combinations and capitalized for asset acquisitions.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business. The guidance clarifies the definition of a business by adding guidance to assist companies and other reporting organizations with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. If substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired (or disposed of) is concentrated in a single asset or a group of similar identifiable asset(s), then the transaction is considered to be an asset acquisition (or disposition). As a result of this standard, the Company anticipates the majority of its hotel purchases will be considered asset acquisitions as opposed to business combinations, although the determination will be made on a transaction-by-transaction basis. Transaction costs associated with asset acquisitions will be capitalized rather than expensed as incurred. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2018 on a prospective basis. The Company does not believe the accounting for each future acquisition (or disposal) of assets or a business will be materially different, therefore, the adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

The Company’s investments in hotel properties are carried at cost and are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of 15 years for land improvements, 15 years for building improvements, 40 years for buildings and three to five years for FF&E. Maintenance and repairs are expensed and major renewals or improvements to the hotel properties are capitalized. Indirect project costs, including interest, salaries and benefits, travel and other related costs that are directly attributable to the development, are also capitalized. Upon the sale or disposition of a hotel property, the asset and related accumulated depreciation accounts are removed and the related gain or loss is included in the gain or loss on sale of hotel properties in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. A sale or disposition of a hotel

property that represents a strategic shift that has or will have a major effect on the Company's operations and financial results is presented as discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.

In accordance with the guidance on impairment or disposal of long-lived assets, the Company does not consider the "held for sale" classification on the consolidated balance sheet until it is probable that the sale will be completed within one year and the other requisite criteria for such classification have been met. The Company does not depreciate assets so long as they are classified as held for sale. Upon designation as held for sale and quarterly thereafter, the Company reviews the realizability of the carrying value, less costs to sell, in accordance with the guidance. Any such adjustment to the carrying value is recorded as an impairment loss.

The Company assesses the carrying value of its hotel properties whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. The recoverability is measured by comparing the carrying amount to the estimated future undiscounted cash flows which take into account current market conditions and the Company’s intent with respect to holding or disposing of the hotel properties. If the Company’s analysis indicates that the carrying value is not recoverable on an undiscounted cash flow basis, the Company will recognize an impairment loss for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value. The fair value is determined through various valuation techniques, including internally developed discounted cash flow models, comparable market transactions or third-party appraisals.

Sale of Real Estate

ASU 2014-09 also applies to the sale of real estate and the new principles-based approach is largely based on the transfer of control of the real estate to the buyer. In February 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-05, Other Income - Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets (Subtopic 610-20): Clarifying the Scope of Asset Derecognition Guidance and Accounting for Partial Sales of Nonfinancial Assets. This guidance clarifies that ASC 610-20 applies to the derecognition of nonfinancial assets, including real estate, and in substance nonfinancial assets, which are defined as assets or a group of assets for which substantially all of the fair value consists of nonfinancial assets and the group or subsidiary is not a business. As a result of this guidance, sales and partial sales of real estate assets will be accounted for similar to all other sales of nonfinancial and in substance nonfinancial assets. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective transition method. Based on the Company's assessment, the adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The guidance will require lessees to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for most of their leases on the balance sheet, and an entity will need to classify its leases as either an operating or finance lease in order to determine the income statement presentation. Leases with a term of 12 months or less will be accounted for similar to the existing guidance today for operating leases. Lessors will classify their leases using an approach that is substantially equivalent to the existing guidance today for operating, direct financing, or sales-type leases. Lessors may only capitalizecapitalizes the incremental direct costs of leasing, so any indirect costs of leasing will be expensed as incurred. The guidance requiresLessees are in compliance with their rental obligations under their respective lease agreements.

Lessees

As a lessee in a lease contract, the Company recognizes a lease right-of-use asset and a lease liability on the consolidated balance sheet. The Company is a lessee in a variety of lease contracts, such as ground leases, parking leases, office leases and equipment leases. The Company classifies its leases as either an entity to separateoperating lease or a finance lease based on the principle of whether or not the lease components fromis effectively a financed purchase of the non-lease componentsleased asset. For operating leases, the Company recognizes lease expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. For finance leases, the Company recognizes lease expense on the effective interest method, which results in a contract, withthe interest component of each lease payment being recognized as interest expense and the lease componentsright-of-use asset being accounted for in accordanceamortized into amortization expense using the straight-line method over the term of the lease. For leases with ASC 842 andan initial term of 12 months or less, the non-lease components being accounted for in accordance with other applicable accounting guidance. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and the interim periods within those annual periods, with early adoption permitted. The Company will adopt this new standard on January 1, 2019. The Company has not yet completed its analysis on this standard, but it believes the application of the new standard will result in the recording ofrecognize a lease right-of-use asset and a lease liability on the consolidated balance sheet and lease expense will be recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

At the lease commencement date, the Company determines the lease term by incorporating the fixed, non-cancelable lease term plus any lease extension option terms that are reasonably certain of being exercised. The ability to extend the lease term is at the Company's sole discretion. The Company calculates the present value of the future lease payments over the lease term in order to determine the lease liability and the related lease right-of-use asset that is recognized on the consolidated balance sheet.

Certain lease contracts may include an option to purchase the leased property, which is at the Company's sole discretion. The Company's lease contracts do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

The Company's leases include a base lease payment, which is recognized as lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. In addition, certain of the Company's leases may include an additional lease payment that is based on either (i) a percentage of the respective hotel property's financial results, or (ii) the frequency to which the leased asset is used, or (iii) the lease payments are adjusted periodically for inflation; all of which are recognized as variable lease expense, when incurred, in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.

The Company will use the implicit rate in a lease contract in order to determine the present value of the future lease payments over the lease term.  If the implicit rate in the lease contract is not available, then the Company will use its incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date.   The Company determined its incremental borrowing rate for each lease contract by using the U.S. Treasury interest rates yield curve, and then making adjustments for the lease term, the Company’s credit spread, the Company’s ability to borrow on a secured basis, the quality and condition of the leased asset and the current economic environment.  For purposes of adopting ASC 842, the Company used its incremental borrowing rate on January 1, 2019 for the operating leases that commenced prior to that date.


The Company elected the following practical expedients in adopting the new standard:

The Company elected the package of practical expedients that allows the Company to not reassess:
(i)whether any expired or existing contracts meet the definition of a lease;
(ii)the lease classification for any expired or existing leases; and
(iii)the initial direct costs for any existing leases.

The Company elected a practical expedient to make an accounting policy election to not recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for leases with an initial term of 12 months or less.

The Company elected a practical expedient to allow the Company to not reassess whether an existing land easement not previously accounted for as a lease under ASC 840 would now be considered to be a lease under ASC 842.

The Company elected the practical expedient whereby lessors, by class of underlying asset, are not required to separate the nonlease components from the lease components, if certain conditions are met.

Upon adoption of this standard on January 1, 2019, the Company recognized lease liabilities and the related lease right-of-use assets on the consolidated balance sheet for its ground leases, parking leases and equipment leases, which representoffice leases. In addition to recognizing the majoritylease liabilities and the related lease right-of-use assets on the date of adoption, the Company's current operatingCompany reclassified its below market ground lease payments. intangible assets from intangible assets, net on the consolidated balance sheet to the lease right-of-use assets. In addition, the Company reclassified its above market ground lease liabilities and deferred rent liabilities from accounts payable and other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet to the lease right-of-use assets.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2018, the SEC issued SEC Final Rule 33-10532, Disclosure Update and Simplification. The amendments simplify or eliminate duplicative, overlapping, or outdated disclosure requirements. The amendments also add certain disclosure requirements, such as requiring entities to disclose the current and comparative quarter and year-to-date changes in shareholders' equity for interim periods. The amended rules are effective for reports filed on or after November 5, 2018. However, the SEC issued Compliance & Disclosure Interpretation 105.09 that allows entities to defer the adoption of the new disclosure requirement relating to changes in shareholders' equity for interim periods until the Form 10-Q for the quarterly period that begins after November 5, 2018. The Company will adoptadopted the new disclosure requirement relating to changes in shareholders' equity for interim periods on January 1, 2019. Based on the Company's assessment, the adoption of the new disclosures willdid not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.


In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. The guidance modifies the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements by removing or modifying some of the disclosures, while also adding new disclosures. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and the interim periods within those annual periods, with early adoption permitted. The Company will adopt this new standard on January 1, 2020. Based on the Company's assessment, the adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.


3.Merger with RLJ
On August 31, 2017 (the "Acquisition Date"), RLJ Lodging Trust ("RLJ"), RLJ LP, Rangers, and Rangers Sub II, LP, a wholly-owned subsidiary of RLJ LP ("Partnership Merger Sub"), consummated the transactions contemplated by the definitive Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement"), dated as of April 23, 2017, with FelCor and FelCor LP pursuant to which Partnership Merger Sub merged with and into FelCor LP, with FelCor LP surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of RLJ LP (the "Partnership Merger"), and, immediately thereafter, FelCor merged with and into Rangers, with Rangers surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of RLJ LP (the "REIT Merger" and, together with the Partnership Merger, the "Mergers").

RLJ accounted for the Mergers under the acquisition method of accounting in ASC 805, Business Combinations. In accordance with the guidance, RLJ elected to apply pushdown accounting to the Company's consolidated financial statements in order to reflect the new basis of accounting established by RLJ for the individual assets acquired and the liabilities assumed in the Mergers. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements of the Company for the periods before and after the Acquisition Date reflect different bases of accounting, and the financial positions and the results of operations for those periods are not comparable. As a result, the consolidated financial statements and the notes to those financial statements are separated into two distinct periods; the periods prior to the Acquisition Date are identified as "Predecessor," and the periods after the Acquisition Date are identified as "Successor". The new basis of accounting for the assets and liabilities that existed on the Acquisition Date will be used in the preparation of the Company's future financial statements and footnotes.

At the closing of the Mergers, FelCor LP had controlling financial interests in the Lessors, and FelCor TRS and its property-operating subsidiaries, the Lessees. The hotel properties were leased through intercompany lease agreements between the Lessors and the Lessees, resulting in the Lessees' lease payments being eliminated in consolidation. Immediately after the consummation of the Mergers and the push down of the allocation of the purchase price consideration, FelCor LP distributed its equity interests in FelCor TRS to RLJ LP. The Company accounted for the distribution as a transaction amongst entities under common control. As a result of the distribution of the equity interests in FelCor TRS, the Lessees' lease payments pursuant to the leases are no longer eliminated in consolidation.

The following table reflects the new basis of accounting for the assets and liabilities that existed on the Acquisition Date and the impact of the distribution of the equity interests in FelCor TRS to RLJ LP:

RLJ used the following valuation methodologies, inputs, and assumptions to estimate the fair value of the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and the equity interests acquired:
Investment in hotel properties — RLJ estimated the fair values of the land and improvements, buildings and improvements, and furniture, fixtures, and equipment at the hotel properties by using a combination of the market, cost, and income approaches. These valuation methodologies are based on significant Level 3 inputs in the fair value hierarchy, such as estimates of future income growth, capitalization rates, discount rates, capital expenditures, and cash flow projections at the respective hotel properties.
Investment in unconsolidated joint ventures — RLJ estimated the fair value of its real estate interests in the unconsolidated joint ventures by using the same valuation methodologies for the investment in hotel properties noted above. In addition, RLJ estimated the fair value of an unconsolidated joint venture's mortgage loan by using the same valuation methodology for the debt noted below. RLJ recognized the net assets acquired based on its respective ownership interest in the joint venture according to the joint venture agreement.

Deferred income tax assets — RLJ estimated the future realizable value of the deferred income tax assets by estimating the amount of the net operating loss that will be utilized in future periods by the acquired taxable REIT subsidiaries. RLJ then applied its applicable effective tax rate against the net operating losses to determine the appropriate deferred income tax assets to recognize. This valuation methodology is based on Level 3 inputs in the fair value hierarchy.

Intangible assets — RLJ estimated the fair value of its below market ground lease intangible assets by calculating the present value of the difference between the contractual rental amounts paid according to the in-place lease agreements and the market rental rates for similar leased space, measured over a period equal to the remaining non-cancelable term of the lease. This valuation methodology is based on Level 3 inputs in the fair value hierarchy. The below market ground lease intangible assets are amortized over the remaining terms of the respective leases as adjustments to rental expense in property tax, insurance and other in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). The Company estimated the fair value of the advanced bookings intangible assets by using the income approach to determine the projected cash flows that a hotel property will receive as a result of future hotel room and guest events that have already been reserved and pre-booked at the hotel property as of the Acquisition Date. This valuation methodology is based on Level 3 inputs in the fair value hierarchy. The advanced bookings intangible asset is amortized over the duration of the hotel room and guest event reservations period at the hotel property to depreciation and amortization in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). The Company recognized the following intangible assets in the Mergers (dollars in thousands):
    
Weighted Average Amortization Period
(in Years)
Below market ground leases $118,050
 54
Advanced bookings 13,862
 1
Other intangible assets 7,761
 6
Total intangible assets $139,673
 46

Above market ground lease liabilities — RLJ estimated the fair value of its above market ground lease liabilities by calculating the present value of the difference between the contractual rental amounts paid according to the in-place lease agreements and the market rental rates for similar leased space, measured over a period equal to the remaining non-cancelable term of the lease. This valuation methodology is based on Level 3 inputs in the fair value hierarchy. The Company recognized approximately $15.5 million of above market ground lease liabilities in the Mergers, which are included in accounts payable and other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. The above market ground lease liabilities are amortized over the remaining terms of the respective leases as adjustments to rental expense in property tax, insurance and other in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

Debt — RLJ estimated the fair value of the Senior Notes (as defined in Note 7) by using publicly available trading prices, market interest rates, and spreads for the Senior Notes, which are Level 3 inputs in the fair value hierarchy.

This valuation methodology is based on Level 3 inputs and assumptions in the fair value hierarchy.

Preferred equity in a consolidated joint venture — RLJ estimated the fair value of the preferred equity in a consolidated joint venture by comparing the contractual terms of the preferred equity agreement to market-based terms of a similar preferred equity agreement, which is based on Level 3 inputs in the fair value hierarchy.

Restricted cash reserves, hotel and other receivables, prepaid expenses and other assets, accounts payable and other liabilities, advance deposits and deferred revenue, accrued interest, and distributions payable — The carrying amounts of the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and the equity interests acquired approximate fair value because of their short term maturities.

Litigation
 
Other than the legal proceeding mentioned below, neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries is currently involved in any regulatory or legal proceedings that management believes will have a material and adverse effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Prior to the Mergers, on March 24, 2016, an affiliate of InterContinental Hotels Group PLC ("IHG"), which was previously the hotel management company for three of the Company’s hotels (two of which were sold in 2006, and one of which was converted by the Company into a Wyndham brand and operation in 2013), notified the Company that the National Retirement Fund in which the employees at those hotels had participated had assessed a withdrawal liability of $8.3 million, with required

quarterly payments including interest, in connection with the termination of IHG’s operation of those hotels. The Company’s hotel management agreements with IHG stated that it may be obligated to indemnify and hold IHG harmless for some or all of any amount ultimately contributed to the pension trust fund with respect to those hotels.

Based on the current assessment of the claim, the resolution of this matter may not occur until 2022. As of September 30, 2018, the Company maintained an accrual of approximately $4.6 million for the future quarterly payments to the pension trust fund, which is included in accounts payable and other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

The Company plans to vigorously defend the underlying claims and, if appropriate, IHG’s demand for indemnification.

During the Predecessor comparative period, the Company's hotel properties were operated pursuant to long-term management agreements with initial terms ranging from 5 to 20 years. Certain hotel properties also received the benefits of a franchise agreement pursuant to management agreements with Hilton, Wyndham, Marriott and other hotel brands. The management agreements, including those that include the benefits of a franchise agreement, have a base management fee generally between 2.0% and 5.0% of hotel revenues. The management companies are also eligible to receive an incentive management fee if hotel operating income, as defined in the management agreements, exceeds certain thresholds. The incentive management fee is generally calculated as a percentage of hotel operating income after the Company has received a priority return on its investment in the hotel. Management fees are included in management and franchise fee expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). For the Predecessor period of July 1, 2017 through August 31, 2017, the Company recognized management fee expense of approximately $4.4 million. For the Predecessor period of January 1, 2017 through August 31, 2017, the Company recognized management fee expense of approximately $19.1 million.

The Wyndham management agreements guarantee minimum levels of annual net operating income at each of the Wyndham-managed hotels for each year of the initial 10-year term to 2023, subject to an aggregate $100 million limit over the term and an annual $21.5 million limit. For the Predecessor period of July 1, 2017 through August 31, 2017, the Company recorded $1.4 million for the pro-rata portion of the projected aggregate full-year guaranties. For the Predecessor period of January 1, 2017 through August 31, 2017, the Company recorded $3.8 million for the pro-rata portion of the projected aggregate full-year guaranties. The Company recognized these amounts as a reduction of Wyndham's contractual management and other fees.

Franchise Agreements
As discussed in Note 3, Merger with RLJ, the Company distributed its equity interests in FelCor TRS to RLJ LP immediately after consummation of the Mergers. As a result of the distribution of its equity interests in FelCor TRS, the Company's consolidated financial statements do not include the financial information related to the Lessees' franchise agreements.

During the Predecessor comparative periods, certain of the Company’s hotel properties were operated under franchise agreements with initial terms of 15 years. These franchise agreements exclude certain hotel properties that received the benefits of a franchise agreement pursuant to management agreements with Hilton, Wyndham, Marriott and other hotel brands. In addition, The Knickerbocker is not operated with a hotel brand so the hotel did not have a franchise agreement. Franchise agreements allow the hotel properties to operate under the respective brands. Pursuant to the franchise agreements, the Company pays a royalty fee, generally 5.5% of room revenue, plus additional fees for marketing, central reservation systems and other franchisor costs of 4.0% of room revenue. Franchise fees are included in management and franchise fee expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. For the Predecessor period of July 1, 2017 through August 31, 2017, the Company recognized franchise fee expense of approximately $0.2 million. For the Predecessor period of January 1, 2017 through August 31, 2017, the Company recognized franchise fee expense of approximately $0.8 million.


10.      Equity
Successor Period

Rangers Ownership Interests/FelCor LP Partnership Interests

As of September 30, 2018,March 31, 2019, RLJ LP owned 100% of the ownership interests and was the sole managing member of Rangers. In addition, Rangers owned, through indirect interests, 99.0% of the partnership interests in FelCor LP. Rangers consolidates FelCor LP for financial reporting purposes as a result of its controlling financial interest. Rangers General Partner, LLC's 1.0% partnership interest in FelCor LP is recognized as a noncontrolling interest in FelCor LP on the consolidated balance sheets of Rangers.

Noncontrolling Interest in Consolidated Joint Ventures

The Company consolidates the joint venture that owns The Knickerbocker hotel property, which has a third-party partner that owns a noncontrolling 5% ownership interest in the joint venture. The third-party ownership interest is included in the noncontrolling interest in consolidated joint ventures on the consolidated balance sheets.

Consolidated Joint Venture Preferred Equity

The Company's joint venture that redeveloped The Knickerbocker raised $45.0 million ($44.4 million net of issuance costs) through the sale of redeemable preferred equity under the EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program. The purchasers receivereceived a 3.25% current annual return, (which increases to 8% if the Company does not redeem the equity interest before the fifth anniversary of the respective equity issuance), plus a 0.25% non-compounding annual return payable atthat was paid upon redemption. The fifth anniversary for the majority of the equity issuance is in February 2019. The preferred equity raised by the joint venture is included in preferred equity in a consolidated joint venture on the consolidated balance sheets.

Predecessor Period

Common Stock

In 2015, FelCor's Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program to acquire up to $100.0 million of FelCor's shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Common Stock"), through October 31, 2017. During the Predecessor period of January 1, 2017 through August 31, 2017, FelCor did not repurchase and retire any of its shares of Common Stock.

Upon completion of the REIT Merger, on August 31, 2017, each issued and outstanding share of Common Stock was converted into the right to receive 0.362 common shares of RLJ. Accordingly, for the Successor period, FelCor no longer has any issued, outstanding, or authorized shares of Common Stock.

During the Predecessor period of January 1, 2017 through August 31, 2017, On February 15, 2019, the Company declared a cash dividend (distribution) of $0.06 per share of Common Stock (unit)redeemed the preferred equity in each of the first and second quarters of 2017 and a cash dividend (distribution) of $0.04 per share of Common Stock (unit) for the Predecessor period of July 1, 2017 through August 31, 2017.

Preferred Stock/Units

FelCor's Board of Directors authorized the issuance of up to 20 million shares of preferred stock in one or more series. FelCor's $1.95 Series A cumulative convertible preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Series A Preferred Stock") (units), had an annual cumulative dividend (distribution) that was payable in arrears equal to the greater of $1.95 per share (unit) or the cash distributions declared or paid for the corresponding period on the number of shares of Common Stock (units) into which the Series A Preferred Stock (units) is then convertible. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock (unit) was convertible at the holder's option to 0.7752 shares of Common Stock (units), subject to certain adjustments.

Upon completion of the REIT Merger, each issued and outstanding share of Series A Preferred Stock was converted into the right to receive one $1.95 Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Share, par value $0.01 per share, of RLJ. Accordingly, for the Successor period, FelCor no longer has any issued, outstanding, or authorized shares of Series A Preferred Stock.

During the Predecessor period of January 1, 2017 through August 31, 2017, the Company declared a cash dividend (distribution) of $0.4875 on each share of Series A Preferred Stock (unit) in each of the first and second quarters of 2017 and a cash dividend (distribution) of $0.325 on each share of Series A Preferred Stock (unit) for the Predecessor period of July 1, 2017 through August 31, 2017.full.

11.Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests/Units in FelCor LP    

In the Predecessor period, FelCor recorded the redeemable noncontrolling interests in FelCor LP, and FelCor LP recorded the redeemable units, in the mezzanine section (between liabilities and equity/partners' capital) of the consolidated balance sheets because of the redemption feature of the units. The redeemable noncontrolling interests/redeemable units held by the limited partners were redeemable for shares of Common Stock, or at the option of FelCor, for cash. Additionally, FelCor's consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) separately present earnings attributable to the redeemable noncontrolling interests. FelCor adjusted the redeemable noncontrolling interests in FelCor LP (or redeemable units) each reporting period to reflect the greater of the carrying value based on the accumulation of historical costs or the redemption value. FelCor based the historical cost on the proportionate relationship between the carrying value of the equity associated with FelCor's common stockholders relative to that of FelCor LP's unitholders. FelCor based the redemption value on the closing price of the Common Stock at the end of the reporting period. FelCor allocated the net income (loss) to FelCor LP's noncontrolling limited partners based on their weighted average ownership percentage during the period.

The following table summarizes the changes in the redeemable noncontrolling interests (or redeemable units) (in thousands):
 Predecessor
 
January 1
through
August 31
 2017
Balance at beginning of the period$4,888
Redemption value allocation196
Distributions paid to unitholders(134)
Net loss(495)
Balance at end of the period$4,455

Upon completion of the Partnership Merger, each outstanding FelCor LP Common Unit was converted into 0.362 common units of limited partnership interest in RLJ LP, unless the respective limited partner of FelCor LP elected to redeem his or her FelCor LP Common Units and receive 0.362 common shares of RLJ. Accordingly, for the Successor period, the Company no longer recognizes a redeemable noncontrolling interest (or redeemable units) in FelCor LP on the consolidated balance sheets.

12.Loss per Common Share/Unit
Successor Period

For the Successor period, RLJ LP, through direct and indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries, owns 100% of the ownership interests and is the sole member and partner of Rangers and FelCor LP, respectively.

Predecessor Period

Basic earnings (loss) per common share/unit is calculated by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders (unitholders) by the weighted-average number of common shares (units) outstanding during the period excluding the weighted-average number of unvested restricted shares (units) outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share/unit is calculated by dividing net income attributable to common shareholders (unitholders) by the weighted-average number of common shares (units) outstanding during the period, plus any shares (units) that could potentially be outstanding during the period. The potential shares (units) consist of the unvested restricted share (unit) grants and unvested performance units, calculated using the treasury stock method. Any anti-dilutive shares (units) have been excluded from the diluted earnings (loss) per share (unit) calculation.
Unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends (distributions) or dividend (distribution) equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) are participating shares (units) and are considered in the computation of earnings (loss) per share (unit) pursuant to the two-class method. If there were any undistributed earnings allocable to the participating shares (units), they would be deducted from net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders (unitholders) used in the basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share (unit) calculations.
The limited partners’ outstanding limited partnership units in FelCor LP (which may be redeemed for common shares of beneficial interest under certain circumstances) have been excluded from the diluted earnings (loss) per share (unit) calculation

as there was no effect on the per share (unit) amounts, since the limited partners’ share of income would also be added back to net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders.



The computation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per common share (unit) is as follows (in thousands, except share/unit and per share/unit data):

Item 2.   Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
 
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this report, as well as the information contained in the combined Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20172018 of Rangers Sub I, LLC ("Rangers") and FelCor Lodging Limited Partnership ("FelCor LP"), filed with the SEC on March 2, 20181, 2019 (the "Annual Report"), which is accessible on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information
 
The following information contains certain statements, other than purely historical information, including estimates, projections, statements relating to our business plans, objectives and expected operating results, and the assumptions upon which those statements are based, that are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These forward-looking statements generally are identified by the use of the words "believe," "project," "expect," "anticipate," "estimate," "plan," "may," "will," "will continue," "intend," "should," or similar expressions.  Although we believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions, beliefs and expectations, such forward-looking statements are not predictions of future events or guarantees of future performance and our actual results could differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements.  Some factors that might cause such a difference include the following: the current global economic uncertainty, increased direct competition, changes in government regulations or accounting rules, changes in local, national and global real estate conditions, declines in the lodging industry, seasonality of the lodging industry, risks related to natural disasters, such as earthquakes and hurricanes, hostilities, including future terrorist attacks or fear of hostilities that affect travel, our ability to obtain lines of credit or permanent financing on satisfactory terms, changes in interest rates, access to capital through offerings of our common and preferred shares of beneficial interest, or debt, our ability to identify suitable acquisitions, our ability to close on identified acquisitions and integrate those businesses and inaccuracies of our accounting estimates.  Given these uncertainties, undue reliance should not be placed on such statements.
 
Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. We caution investors not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements and urge investors to carefully review the disclosures we make concerning risks and uncertainties in the sections entitled "Forward-Looking Statements," "Risk Factors,"Factors" and "Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in the Annual Report, as well as the risks, uncertainties and other factors discussed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and identified in other documents filed by us with the SEC.

Overview
 
Rangers is a Maryland limited liability company that, through FelCor LP, owns hotel properties and conducts other business. Substantially all of Rangers' assets and liabilities are held by, and all of its operations are conducted through, FelCor LP. 100% of the ownership interests of Rangers are held by RLJ LP, which is the operating partnership of RLJ, one of the largest U.S. publicly traded lodging REITs in terms of both number of hotels and number of rooms. Rangers indirectly owns a 99% partnership interest in FelCor LP. Rangers GP, a wholly-owned subsidiary of RLJ LP, owns the remaining 1% partnership interest and is the sole general partner of FelCor LP.

Our hotel properties are concentrated in markets that we believe exhibit multiple demand generators and attractive long-term growth prospects. We believe premium-branded, compact full-service hotels with these characteristics generate high levels of Revenue per Available Room ("RevPAR"), strong operating margins and attractive returns.

As we look at factors that could impact our business, we find that the consumer is generally in good financial health, job creation remains positive and an increase in wages is adding to consumers' disposable income. While geopolitical and global economic uncertainty still exists, and interest rates are rising, we remain cautiously optimistic that positive employment trends, high consumer confidence and elevated corporate sentiment will continue to drive economic expansion in the U.S. and generate positive lodging demand and RevPAR growth for the industry. However, in light of accelerating supply and signs of slowing economic growth, RevPAR growth is likely to be moderate. Low unemployment rates can impact the cost of labor through higher wages and benefits, which negatively impact our financial and operating results.

RLJ continues to follow a prudent and disciplined capital allocation strategy. RLJ will continue to look for and weigh all possible investment decisions against the highest and best returns for its shareholders over the long term. RLJ believes that its cash on hand and expected access to capital along with its senior management team's experience, extensive industry

relationships and asset management expertise, will enable us to pursue investment opportunities that generate additional internal and external growth.

As of September 30, 2018,March 31, 2019, we owned 3130 hotel properties with approximately 9,3658,800 rooms, located in 13 states.  We owned, through wholly-owned subsidiaries, a 100% interest in 2827 hotel properties, a 95% interest in The Knickerbocker, and 50% interests in entities owning two hotel properties. We consolidate the real estate interests in the 2928 hotel properties in which we hold a controlling financial interest, and we record the real estate interests in the two hotels in which we hold an indirect 50% interest using the equity method of accounting. The Company leases 3029 of its 3130 hotel properties to subsidiaries of RLJ LP.
 
Recent2019 Significant Activities
 
Our significant activities reflect RLJ's commitment to creating long-term shareholder value through enhancing its hotel portfolio's quality, recycling capital and maintaining a prudent capital structure. DuringIn line with this, in February 2019, we fully redeemed the nine months ended September 30, 2018,preferred equity under the following significant activities took place:

In February 2018, we sold the Embassy Suites Boston Marlborough in Marlborough, MassachusettsEB-5 Immigrant Investor Program for $23.7 million.

In March 2018, we completed the early redemption of the senior secured notes in full for an aggregate principal amount of $524.0 million.

In March 2018, we sold the Sheraton Philadelphia Society Hill Hotel in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania for $95.5 million.

In July 2018, we sold the Embassy Suites Napa Valley in Napa, California for $102.0 million.

In July 2018, we entered into a purchase and sale agreement to sell the Holiday Inn San Francisco - Fisherman's Wharf. At September 30, 2018, this hotel property has been included in assets of hotel properties held for sale, net on the consolidated balance sheet. The transaction closed on October 15, 2018.

In August 2018, we sold The Vinoy Renaissance St. Petersburg Resort & Golf Club in St. Petersburg, Florida for $185.0 million.

In September 2018, we sold the DoubleTree by Hilton Burlington Vermont in Burlington, Vermont for $35.0$45.6 million.

Our Customers
 
Our hotel property-owning subsidiaries (the "Lessors") receive rental incomelease revenue from the property-operating subsidiaries (the "Lessees") under lease agreements.contracts. The lease agreementscontracts contain a specific base rent amount or a percentage rent amount, which is calculated based on a percentage of room revenues, food and beverage revenues, and other revenues at the hotel properties.

Substantially all of our hotel properties consist of premium-branded, compact full-service hotels. As a result of this property profile, the majority of our hotel properties' customers are transient in nature. Transient business typically represents individual business or leisure travelers. As a result, macroeconomic factors that impact both business travel and leisure travel have an effect on our business. Group business is typically defined as a minimum of 10 guestrooms booked together as part of the same piece of business. Group business may or may not use the meeting space at any given hotel. A number of our hotels are affiliated with brands marketed toward extended-stay customers. Extended-stay customers are generally defined as those staying five nights or longer.

Our Revenues and Expenses
 
Our revenues are derived from rental incomelease revenue received under lease agreements,contracts with related parties, which contain a specific base rent amount or a percentage rent amount, which is calculated based on a percentage of room revenue, food and beverage revenue, and other revenue at the hotel properties.

Our expenses consist of the depreciation and amortization on our investment in hotel properties and intangible assets, and property taxes, insurance, and other property-related costs of our hotel properties.

For the Predecessor period, our revenues were primarily derived from the operation of hotels, including the sale of rooms, food and beverage revenue and other revenue, which consists of parking fees, golf, pool, and other resort fees, gift shop sales, and other guest service fees.

For the Predecessor period, our operating costs and expenses consist of the costs to provide hotel services, including room expense, food and beverage expense, management and franchise fees and other operating expenses. Room expense includes housekeeping and front office wages and payroll taxes, reservation systems, room supplies, laundry services and other costs. Food and beverage expense primarily includes the cost of food, the cost of beverages and associated labor costs. Other operating expenses include labor and other costs associated with the other operating department revenue, as well as labor and other costs associated with administrative departments, sales and marketing, repairs and maintenance and utility costs. Our hotel properties that are subject to franchise agreements are charged a royalty fee, plus additional fees for marketing, central reservation systems and other franchisor costs, in order for the hotel properties to operate under the respective brands. The franchise fees are based on a percentage of room revenue. Our hotel properties are managed by independent, third-party management companies under long-term agreements pursuant to which the management companies typically earn base and incentive management fees based on the levels of revenues and profitability of each individual hotel property. We generally receive a cash distribution from the management companies on a monthly basis, which reflects the hotel-level sales less hotel-level operating expenses.

Key Indicators of Financial Performance
 
We use financial information to evaluate the amount of rental income we receive from the Lessees under our lease agreements. We earn a base rent amount or a percentage rent amount, which is calculated based on a percentage of room revenues, food and beverage revenues, and other revenues at the hotel properties. Industry standard statistical information and comparative data, such as Average Daily Rate ("ADR"), occupancy, and RevPAR, are used to measure the operating performance of our hotel properties, including its impact on the amount of rental income recognized from base rent or percentage rent. We also use financial information to evaluate the significance of the property taxes, insurance, and other property-related costs at our hotel properties.

We use a variety of operating, financial and other information to evaluate the operating performance of our business. These key indicators include financial information that is prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). In addition, we use other information that may not be financial in nature, including industry standard statistical information and comparative data. We use this information to measure the operating performance of our individual hotels, groups of hotels and/or business as a whole. We also use these metrics to evaluate the hotel properties in our portfolio to determine each hotel's contribution to cash flow and its potential to provide attractive long-term total returns. The key indicators included:

ADR
Occupancy

RevPAR
ADR, Occupancy and RevPAR are commonly used measures within the lodging industry to evaluate operating performance. RevPAR is an important statistic for monitoring the operating performance at the individual hotel property level and across our entire business. We evaluate the individual hotel RevPAR performance on an absolute basis with comparisons to budget and prior periods, as well as on a regional and company-wide basis. ADR and RevPAR include only room revenue.

Critical Accounting Policies
 
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities at the date of our financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. It is possible that the actual amounts may differ significantly from these estimates and assumptions. We evaluate our estimates, assumptions and judgments on an ongoing basis, based on information that is available to us, our business and industry experience, and various other matters that we believe are reasonable and appropriate for consideration under the circumstances. Our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20172018 contains a discussion of our critical accounting policies. There have been no significant changes to our critical accounting policies since December 31, 2017.2018.


Results of Operations
 
At September 30,March 31, 2019 and 2018, and 2017, we owned 3130 and 3734 hotel properties, respectively.  Based on when a hotel property is acquired, sold, or closed for renovation, the operating results for certain hotel properties are not comparable for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018March 31, 2019 and 2017.2018.  The non-comparable hotel properties include eightsix dispositions that were completed between January 1, 20172018 and September 30, 2018.

As discussed in Note 3 to our accompanying consolidated financial statements, Merger with RLJ, RLJ elected to apply pushdown accounting to the Company's consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, the Company's consolidated financial statements for the periods before and after AugustMarch 31, 2017 (the "Acquisition Date") reflect different bases of accounting, and the results of operations for those periods are not comparable. As a result, the results of operations are separated into two distinct periods; the periods prior to the Acquisition Date are identified as "Predecessor", and the periods after the Acquisition Date are identified as "Successor". Additionally, immediately after the consummation of the Mergers, the Company distributed the equity interests in FelCor TRS to RLJ LP. As a result of the distribution of FelCor TRS, the Lessees' lease payments are no longer eliminated in consolidation.2019.

In addition, upon acquisition of a hotel we often are required to complete a property improvement plan in order to bring the hotel up to the respective franchisor’s standards. If permitted by the terms of the management agreement, funding for a renovation will first come from the FF&E reserves. To the extent that the FF&E reserves are not available or sufficient to cover the cost of the renovation, we will fund all or the remaining portion of the renovation with cash and cash equivalents on hand and/or other sources of available liquidity.
 
With respect to some of our hotel properties that are operated under franchise agreements with major national hotel brands and for some of our hotel properties subject to first mortgage liens, we are obligated to maintain FF&E reserve accounts for future capital expenditures at these hotels. The amount funded into each of these reserve accounts is generally determined pursuant to the management agreements, franchise agreements and/or mortgage loan documents for each of the respective

hotels, and typically ranges between 4.0% and 5.0% of the respective hotel’s total gross revenue. As of September 30, 2018March 31, 2019, approximately $0.9 million was held in FF&E reserve accounts for future capital expenditures.
 
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
As of September 30, 2018March 31, 2019, we owned 50% interests in joint ventures that owned two hotel properties. RLJ LP owns more than 50% of the operating lessee for one of these hotels and the other hotel is operated without a lease. None of our officers or employees holds an ownership interest in any of these joint ventures or entities.


One of the 50% unconsolidated joint ventures that owns a hotel property has $21.1$20.8 million of non-recourse mortgage debt, of which our pro rata portion was $10.6$10.4 million, none of which is reflected as a liability on our consolidated balance sheet. Our liabilities with regard to the non-recourse debt and the liabilities of our subsidiaries that are members or partners in joint ventures are generally limited to guaranties of the borrowing entity’s obligations to pay for the lender’s losses caused by misconduct, fraud or misappropriation of funds by the venture and other typical exceptions from the non-recourse provisions in the mortgages, such as for environmental liabilities. In addition, this joint venture is subject to two ground leases with terms expiring in 2044.2044 and 2094.

The other 50% unconsolidated joint venture that owns a hotel property is subject to a ground lease with an initial term expiring in 2021. After the initial term, the joint venture may extend the ground lease for an additional term of 10 years to 2031.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
 
Market risk includes the risks that arise from changes in interest rates, equity prices and other market changes that affect market sensitive instruments. Our primary market risk exposure is to changes in interest rates on our variable rate debt. As of September 30, 2018March 31, 2019, we had approximately $85.0 million of total variable rate related party debt outstanding (or 12.5% of total indebtedness) with a weighted-average interest rate of 5.26%5.49% per annum. As of September 30, 2018March 31, 2019, if market interest rates on our variable rate debt were to increase by 1.00%, or 100 basis points, interest expense would decrease future earnings and cash flows by approximately $0.9 million annually.
 
Our interest rate risk objectives are to limit the impact of interest rate fluctuations on earnings and cash flows and to lower our overall borrowing costs. To achieve these objectives, we manage our exposure to fluctuations in market interest rates through the use of fixed rate debt instruments to the extent that reasonably favorable rates are obtainable. From time to time, we may enter into derivative financial instruments such as interest rate swaps to mitigate our interest rate risk or to effectively lock the interest rate on a portion of our variable rate debt. We do not enter into derivative or interest rate transactions for speculative purposes.
 
The following table provides information about our financial instruments that are sensitive to changes in interest rates. For debt obligations outstanding as of September 30, 2018March 31, 2019, the following table presents the principal repayments and related weighted-average interest rates by contractual maturity dates (in thousands):

(1)Excludes $34.2a total of $31.4 million related to fair value adjustments on the debt that RLJ pushed down to our consolidated financial statements as a result of the Mergers.
(2)Excludes $24,000 of net deferred financing costs on a mortgage loan.
(3)The weighted-average interest rate considers the implied forward rates in the yield curve at September 30, 2018.
 
Our ultimate realized gain or loss with respect to interest rate fluctuations will depend on the exposures that arise during future periods, prevailing interest rates and our hedging strategies at that time.
 

Changes in market interest rates on our fixed rate debt impact the fair value of our debt, but such changes have no impact to our consolidated financial statements. As of September 30, 2018March 31, 2019, the estimated fair value of our fixed rate debt was $624.7$615.7 million, which is based on having the same debt service requirements that could have been borrowed at the date presented, at prevailing current market interest rates. If interest rates were to rise by 1.00%, or 100 basis points, and our fixed rate debt balance remains constant, we expect the fair value of our debt to decrease by approximately $31.6$29.0 million.
