Apple Hospitality REIT, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
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
one
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; therefore, the Company does not consolidate the entities. As of
March 31, 2025, the Company owned
219
hotels with an aggregate of
29,558
guest rooms located in
37
states and the District of Columbi
a (“D.C.”), including one hotel with
206
guest rooms classified as held for sale, which is expected to be sold to an unrelated party in the third quarter of 2025.
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, 2024 (the “2024 Form 10-K”). Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the twelve-month period ending December 31, 2025
.
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.
Net Income Per Common Share
Basic net income per common share is computed based upon the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income 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 per common share were the same for each of the periods presented.
Accounting Standards Recently Adopted
In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which requires disclosure of significant segment expenses and other segment items on an annual and interim basis and disclosure in interim periods about a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets that were previously only required annually. Additionally, it requires disclosure of the title and position of the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) and requires a public entity that has a single reportable segment to provide all disclosures required by the amendments in this ASU and all existing segment disclosures in Topic 280. This ASU does not change how a public entity identifies its operating segments, aggregates them, or applies the quantitative thresholds to determine its reportable segments. The new standard was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, therefore, it was adopted by the Company within its 2024 Form 10-K. The new standard is effective for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption was permitted. The adoption of this ASU only impacted disclosures in the notes to the Company’s consolidated financial statements but had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. See Note 9 for the Company’s interim segment disclosures in accordance with the adoption of this ASU.
Accounting Standards Recently Issued
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which focuses on income tax disclosures around effective tax rates and cash income taxes paid. This update requires disclosure, on an annual basis, of a tabular rate reconciliation using both percentages and currency amounts, broken out into specified categories with
7
certain reconciling items further broken out by nature and jurisdiction to the extent those items exceed a specified threshold. In addition, all entities are required to disclose income taxes paid, net of refunds received disaggregated by federal, state/local, and foreign and by jurisdiction if the amount is at least 5% of total income tax payments, net of refunds received. The new standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The amendments in this ASU may be applied prospectively by providing the revised disclosures for the period ending December 31, 2025 and continuing to provide the pre-ASU disclosures for the prior periods, or the amendments may be applied retrospectively by providing the revised disclosures for all periods presented. As of March 31, 2025, the Company has not adopted this ASU. The adoption of this ASU is expected to only impact the notes to the Company’s consolidated financial statements by requiring additional disclosure but will have no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which focuses on improving the disclosures about a public business entity’s amounts and types of expenses. The update mandates an entity to disclose the amounts of specific natural expense categories—such as purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, intangible asset amortization, and depletion—within relevant expense captions presented on the face of the income statement. Additionally, an entity must disclose qualitative descriptions of the composition of any remaining expense not separately disaggregated and disclose the total amount of selling expenses, and in annual reporting periods, the entity’s definition of selling expenses. The new standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The amendments in this ASU may be applied prospectively by providing the revised disclosures for the period ending December 31, 2027 and continuing to provide the pre-ASU disclosures for the prior periods, or the amendments may be applied retrospectively by providing the revised disclosures for all periods presented. As of March 31, 2025, the Company has not
adopted this ASU and is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

As of March 31, 2025, the Company’s independent boutique hotel in New York, New York (the “non-hotel property”) was leased to a third-party hotel operator and was excluded from the Company’s hotel and guest room counts.
As a result of the third-party hotel operator's failure to make lease payments, in 2024, the Company commenced legal proceedings to remove the third-party hotel operator from possession of the non-hotel property. In April 2025, the Company and the third-party hotel operator entered into an agreement to mutually release all claims, to terminate the lease and for the third-party hotel operator to voluntarily surrender possession of the non-hotel property. On April 4, 2025, the Company recovered possession of the non-hotel property and reinstated operations of the hotel's
209
guest rooms through a third-party manager engaged by the Company.
As of March 31, 2025

219

During 2024, the Company utilized proceeds from the sale of hotels and borrowings under its Revolving Credit Facility (as defined below) to purchase the Washington, D.C. and Madison, Wisconsin hotels.
The acquisitions of these 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.

16.0
million.
Since the buyer under the contract made a non-refundable deposit, as of March 31, 2025, the Company classified the hotel as assets held for sale in its consolidated balance sheet at its carrying value (which is less than the contract price, net of costs to sell). The Company expects to complete the sale of the hotel in the third quarter of 2025.
Dispositions
During the three months ended March 31, 2025
, the Company sold
two
hotels to two unrelated parties for a combined gross sales price of approximately $
21.0
million, resulting in a combined gain on the sales of approximately $
3.6
million, net of transaction costs, which is included in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations for the
three months ended March 31, 2025
. The
two
hotels had a total carrying value of approximately $
17.0
million at their respective times of sale
.

Excluding gains on sale of real estate, the Company’s consolidated statements of operations include operating income of approximately $
0.3
million and $
0.2
million for the
three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024
, respectively, relating to the results of operations of the
nine
hotels noted above (the
one
hotel classified as held for sale at March 31, 2025, the
two
hotels sold in the first three months of 2025, and the
six
hotels
sold in 2024) for the period of ownership. The sale of these properties does not represent a
9
strategic
shift that has, or will have, a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results; therefore, the operating results for the period of ownership of these properties are included in income from continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, as applicable.
The net proceeds from the sale of the
one
hotel in February 2025 were used for share repurchases and other general corporate purposes, while a
portion of the proceeds from the sale of the hotel in March 2025 is expected to be used to complete a like-kind exchange, in accordance with Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“1031 Exchange”), with future acquisitions, which is expected to result in the deferral of taxable gains of approximately $
2.4
million
.
A portion of the proceeds from the sale of the
two
hotels in February 2024 was used to complete a 1031 Exchange, for the acquisition of the AC Hotel in Washington, D.C. as discussed above in Note 2, which resulted in the deferral of taxable gains of $
15.1
million. The net proceeds from the sale of the remaining
four
hotels in 2024 were used for share repurchases and other general corporate purposes.

The Company uses interest rate swaps to manage its interest rate risk on a portion of its 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 annual Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) for a one-month term (“one-month SOFR”)
plus a
0.10
% SOFR spread adjustment
. The swaps are designed to effectively fix the interest payments on variable-rate debt instruments. See Note
5 for more information on the interest rate swap agreements. The Company’s total fixed-rate and variable-rate debt, after giving effect to its interest rate swaps in effect as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, is set forth below. All dollar amounts are in thousands.

The Company plans to pay outstanding amounts and service payments due upon the upcoming debt maturity date using funds from operations, borrowings under its Revolving Credit Facility (as defined below), proceeds from new financing, available credit extensions under its unsecured credit facilities or by refinancing the maturing debt.
For the unsecured credit facilities noted in the table above, the Company may make voluntary prepayments, in whole or in part, at any time, subject to certain conditions. The revolving credit facility has a maximum borrowing capacity of $
650
million (the “Revolving Credit Facility”). Subject to certain conditions, including covenant compliance and additional fees, the Revolving Credit Facility maturity date may be extended up to one year. As of
March 31, 2025, the Company had availability of approximately
$
500.2
million
under the Revolving Credit Facility. The Company is also required to pay quarterly an unused facility fee at an annual rate of
0.20
% or
0.25
% on the unused portion of the Revolving Credit Facility, based on the amount of borrowings outstanding during the quarter. Interest payments on the Revolving Credit Facility and term loans are due monthly, and the interest rates, subject to certain exceptions, are equal to the
one-month SOFR plus a
0.10
% SOFR spread adjustment
plus a margin (margin ranges shown in the table above), depending upon the Company’s leverage ratio, as calculated under the terms of each respective credit agreement. Interest payments on the senior notes are due quarterly, and the interest rates, subject to certain exceptions, have a range of annual rates (shown in the table above) depending on the Company’s leverage ratio, as calculated under the terms of each respective note agreement.
$130 Million Term Loan Facility
On July 17, 2024, the Company amended its existing $
85
million term loan facility, that had a maturity date of
July 25, 2024
, which increased the amount of the term loan facility to $
130
million, with the additional $
45
million funded at closing (the “$
130
million term loan facility”), and extended the maturity date to
July 25, 2026
. The interest rate under
the $
130
million term loan facility, subject to certain exceptions, is equal to an annual rate of the
one-month SOFR plus a
0.10
% SOFR spread adjustment
plus a margin ranging from
1.35
% to
2.20
%, depending on the Company's leverage ratio, as calculated under the terms of the amended credit agreement. Subject to certain conditions, including covenant compliance and additional fees, the maturity date of the $
130
million term loan facility may be extended by the Company to July 25, 2027. The Company may make voluntary prepayments, in whole or in part, at any time, subject to certain conditions.
11
Credit Facilities Covenants

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, 2025, both the carrying value and the estimated fair value of the Company’s debt were approximately
$
1.5
billion
. As of December 31, 2024
, the carrying value and estimated fair value of the Company’s debt were approximately $
1.5
billion and $
1.4
billion, respectively. Both the carrying value and the 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.
12
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 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, 2025 and December 31, 2024. All dollar amounts are in thousands.

The Company assesses, both at inception and on an ongoing basis, the effectiveness of its qualifying cash flow hedges. As of March 31, 2025, all
12
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 $
5.0
million of net unrealized gains included in accumulated other comprehensive income at
March 31, 2025 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 for the
three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 (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 have been different if these transactions were conducted with non-related parties. There have been no changes to the contracts and relationships discussed in the 2024 Form 10-K. Below is a summary of the significant related party relationships in effect during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.
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 the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024
totaled approximately $
0.3
million for each respective period, 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
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, 2025 and December 31, 2024
, total amounts due from ARG for reimbursements under the cost sharing structure totaled approximately $
0.3
million and $
0.5
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, investor, corporate and public relations and other business purposes. The aircraft is also leased to affiliates of the Company based on third-party 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, investor, corporate and public relations and other business purposes, and reimburses this entity at third-party rates. Total costs incurred for the use of the aircraft would be
included in general and administrative expenses in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations, however, the Company did not use these aircraft during either of the three-month periods ended March 31, 2025 or March 31, 2024.
7. Shareholders’ Equity
Distributions
For the three months ended March 31, 2025
, the Company paid distributions of $
0.29
per common share for a total of $
69.6
million. During the
three months ended March 31, 2024
, the Company paid distributions of $
0.29
per common share for a total of $
70.2
million. Additionally, in March 2025, the Company declared a monthly cash distribution of $
0.08
per common share, totaling $
19.1
million, which was recorded as a payable as of
March 31, 2025
and paid on
April 15, 2025
.
In addition to the regular monthly cash distribution of $
0.08
per common share for December 2024, the Board of Directors approved a special one-time distribution of $
0.05
per common share for a combined distribution of $
0.13
per common share, totaling $
31.2
million, which was recorded as a payable as of December 31, 2024 and paid in
January 2025
. Distributions declared but not paid at the balance sheet date are included in accounts payable and other liabilities in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
Issuance of Shares
On February 23, 2024, the Company entered into an equity distribution agreement pursuant to which the Company may sell, from time to time, up to an aggregate of $
500
million of its common shares under an at-the-market offering program (the “ATM Program”) under the Company’s current shelf registration statement.
T
he Company did
no
t sell any common shares under the ATM Program during the
three months ended March 31, 2025 or during the year ended December 31, 2024. The Company plans to use future net proceeds from the sale of shares under the ATM Program, or under a similar successor program, for general corporate purposes which may include, among other things, acquisitions of additional properties, the repayment of outstanding indebtedness,
14
capital expenditures, improvement of properties in its portfolio and working capital. The Company may also use the future net proceeds to acquire another REIT or other company that invests in income producing properties.
Share Repurchases
In May 2024, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a
one-year
extension of its existing share repurchase program, authorizing share repurchases up to an aggregate of $
335.4
million (the “Share Repurchase Program”). The Share Repurchase Program may be suspended or terminated at any time by the Company and will end in
July 2025
if not terminated or extended earlier.
The Company previously entered into and expects to continue to enter into written trading plans as part of the Share Repurchase Program that provide for share repurchases in open market transactions that are intended to comply with Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). During the three months ended March 31, 2025
, the Company purchased, under its Share Repurchase Program, approximately
1.9
million of its common shares at a weighted-average market purchase price of approximately $
13.61
per common share for an aggregate purchase price, including commissions, of approximately $
26.3
million.
The Company did not repurchase any common shares during the three months ended March 31, 2024. Repurchases under the Share Repurchase Program have been funded, and the Company intends to fund future repurchases, with cash on hand, proceeds from dispositions 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, 2025
, approximately $
274.5
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. Under the incentive plan for 2025 (the “2025 Incentive Plan”), participants are eligible to receive incentive compensation based on the achievement of certain 2025
performance measures, with
one-half (
50
%) of incentive compensation based on operational metrics and performance goals and one-half (
50
%) of incentive compensation based on shareholder return metrics. With respect to the shareholder return metrics,
75
% of the target will be based on shareholder return relative to a peer group and
25
% will be based on total shareholder return metrics over one-year, two-year, and three-year periods.
With respect to the operational metrics and performance goals,
75
% of the operational performance target will be based on the following metrics: Comparable Hotels RevPAR growth, Comparable Hotels Adjusted Hotel EBITDA margin,
Adjusted EBITDAre and
Modified Funds from Operations per share, equally weighted at
18.75
% (non-GAAP financial measures are defined elsewhere within this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q). T
he remaining
25
% of the operational performance target will be based on the management of balance sheet maturities and allocation of ca
pital to drive shareholder returns. As of March 31, 2025, the range of potential aggregate payouts under the 2025
Incentive Plan was $
0
- $
29.8
million. Based on performance through
March 31, 2025
, the Company has accrued approximately $
3.4
million as a liability for potential executive incentive compensation payments under the
2025 Incentive Plan, which is included in accounts payable and other liabilities in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2025 and in general and administrative expenses in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2025
. Approximately
25
% of target awards under the
2025
Incentive Plan, if any, will be paid in cash, and
75
% will be issued in common shares under the Company’s 2024 Omnibus Incentive Plan, approximately
two-thirds
of which will be unrestricted and
one-third
of which will vest in December 2026.
Under the incentive plan for 2024 (the “2024
Incentive Plan”), the Company recorded approximately $
3.7
million in general and administrative expenses in its consolidated statement of operations for the
three months ended March 31, 2024.

9. Reportable Segments
The Company owns hotel properties throughout the U.S. that generate guest room rental, food and beverage, and other property-related income. There are no foreign operations from which the Company derives revenues and no assets are held in a foreign country. There are no material concentrations of 10% or more of total revenues allocated to a single customer for the reporting periods presented. The CODM separately evaluates the performance, allocates capital resources and manages the overall operating and investing strategy of each of its hotel properties individually; therefore, the Company considers each hotel to be an operating segment. However, because each hotel is not individually significant, serves a similar class and mix of business and leisure customers, has similar economic characteristics and risks, facilities, and services, utilizes similar methods to distribute their products and services through third-party management companies, and is
subject to similar regulatory environments, the properties have been combined into a
single
operating segment for reporting purposes.
The CODM, who is the
Chief Executive Officer
of the Company, assesses the performance of each operating segment on a monthly basis using adjusted hotel earnings (loss) before interest expense, income taxes and depreciation and amortization (“Adjusted Hotel EBITDA”), the measure by which the CODM makes day-to-day operating
decisions, compares actual results with budgeted and prior year results, invests in capital improvements, and performs competitive analysis over the Company’s operating performance against industry peers.
Adjusted Hotel EBITDA, presented herein, is calculated as EBITDA from hotel operations with further exclusions as noted below. 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. The Company further excludes the following items that are not reflective of its ongoing operating performance or
16
incurred in the normal course of business, and thus not utilized in the CODM’s analysis to allocate resources and assess operating performance of the Company’s business:
•
gains and losses from the sale of certain real estate assets (including gains and losses from change in control);
actual corporate-level general and administrative expense for the Company; and
•
operating results from the non-hotel property.
The Company believes Adjusted Hotel EBITDA provides useful supplemental information to investors regarding operating performance and it 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 single reportable segment Adjusted Hotel EBITDA to GAAP net income for the
three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024:

, the Company invested approximately $
19.6
million and $
20.3
million in capital expenditures, respectively.

10. Commitments and Contingencies
Purchase Contract Commitments
As of March 31, 2025
, the Company had separate outstanding contracts for the potential purchase of
two
hotels, consisting of
one
existing hotel in Tampa, Florida with an expected closing date in June 2025 and
one
hotel under development in Nashville, Tennessee
(the “Nashville Motto”)
, for a total combined purchase price of approximately $
117.0
million. The Nashville Motto is currently planned to be completed and opened for business in late 2025, at which time the 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 there can be no assurance that closings on these hotels will occur under their respective outstanding purchase contracts. If the seller under the Nashville Motto contract meets all of the conditions to closing, the Company is obligated to specifically perform under that contract and acquire the completed hotel.
The following table summarizes the location, expected franchise brand, date of purchase contract, expected number of rooms, refundable (if the seller does not meet its obligations under the contract) deposits paid and gross purchase price for each of the contracts outstanding as of March 31, 2025.

LuxUrban Re Holdings LLC vs. Apple Eight Hospitality Ownership, Inc., et al
In February 2025, the Company was notified of a complaint purportedly filed by LuxUrban Re Holdings LLC, the third-party property operator of the non-hotel property, against the Company’s subsidiary and its former third-party hotel manager in the Supreme Court of New York alleging breach of contract and conspiracy to commit fraud. The Company believes the allegations are without merit. On April 4, 2025, this complaint was discontinued, with prejudice, and without any loss recorded or paid by the Company. The Company and the third-party hotel operator entered into an agreement to mutually release all claims, to terminate the lease and for the third-party hotel operator to voluntarily surrender possession of the non-hotel property.
In addition, on April 4, 2025, the Company recovered possession of the non-hotel property and reinstated operations of the hotel’s
209
guest rooms through a third-party manager engaged by the Company.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Forward-Looking Statements
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 Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (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 Apple Hospitality REIT, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (the “Company”) to be materially different from future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.
Such 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 (including the potential effects of tariffs, inflation or a recessionary environment); reduced business and leisure travel due to geopolitical uncertainty, including terrorism and acts of war; travel-related health concerns, including 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 equipment failures, or 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 real estate investment trust (“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 2024 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 2024 Form 10-K.
Overview
The Company is a Virginia corporation that has elected to be treated as a REIT for U.S. 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, 2025, the Company owned 219 hotels with an aggregate of 29,558 guest rooms located in urban, high-end suburban and developing markets throughout 37 states and the District of Columbia, including one hotel with 206 guest rooms classified as held for sale, which is expected to be sold to an unrelated party in the third quarter of 2025. Substantially all of the Company’s hotels operate under Marriott or Hilton brands. The hotels are operated and managed under separate management agreements with 16 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.”
Recent Hotel Portfolio Activities
The 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 March 31, 2025, the Company had separate outstanding contracts for the potential purchase of two hotels, consisting of one existing hotel in Tampa, Florida with an expected closing date in June 2025 and one hotel under development in Nashville, Tennessee, for a total combined purchase price of approximately $117.0 million. The Nashville Motto is currently planned to be completed and opened for business in late 2025, at which time the 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 there can be no assurance that closings on these hotels will occur under their respective outstanding purchase contracts. If the seller under the Nashville Motto contract meets all of the conditions to closing, the Company is obligated to specifically perform
19
under that contract and acquire the completed hotel. If the closings occur, the Company plans to utilize its available cash or borrowings under its unsecured credit facilities available at closing to purchase the properties under contract.
For its existing portfolio, the Company monitors each property’s profitability, market conditions and 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 property. As a result, during the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company sold two hotels to two unrelated parties for a combined gross sales price of approximately $21.0 million, resulting in a combined gain on the sales of approximately $3.6 million, net of transaction costs. The Company is expected to use a portion of the net proceeds from the sale of one of the hotels to complete a 1031 Exchange for future acquisitions.
See Note 2 titled “Investment in Real Estate,” Note 3 titled “Assets Held for Sale and Dispositions” and Note 10 titled “Commitments and Contingencies” 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 transactions.
As of March 31, 2025, the Company’s independent boutique hotel in New York, New York was leased to a third-party hotel operator and was excluded from the Company’s hotel and guest room counts. As a result of the third-party hotel operator's failure to make lease payments, in 2024, the Company commenced legal proceedings to remove the third-party hotel operator from possession of the non-hotel property. In April 2025, the Company and the third-party hotel operator entered into an agreement to mutually release all claims, to terminate the lease and for the third-party hotel operator to voluntarily surrender possession of the non-hotel property. On April 4, 2025, the Company recovered possession of the non-hotel property and reinstated operations of the hotel's 209 guest rooms through a third-party manager engaged by the Company.
Hotel Operations
As of March 31, 2025, the Company owned 219 hotels, including one hotel classified as held for sale, with a total of 29,558 guest rooms as compared to 224 hotels with a total of 29,886 guest rooms as of March 31, 2024. 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, 2025, the Company did not acquire any properties and sold two properties, including one property sold on February 12, 2025 and one sold on March 19, 2025. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company acquired one existing hotel on March 25, 2024 and sold two properties on February 9, 2024.
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 and local regulations as well as changes in lodging demand due to macroeconomic factors including inflationary pressures, higher energy prices or a recessionary environment.

Comparable Hotels Operating Results
The following table reflects certain operating statistics for the Company’s 218 hotels owned and held for use as of March 31, 2025 (“Comparable Hotels”). The Company defines metrics from Comparable Hotels as results generated by the 218 hotels owned and held for use 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 and assets held for sale, results have been excluded for the Company’s period of ownership.

As discussed above, hotel performance is impacted by many factors, including the economic conditions in the U.S. as well as each individual locality. During the first three months of 2025, demand was modestly impacted across the portfolio with weather related travel disruption in January and February, reduced government travel in late March and the impact of heightened macroeconomic uncertainty in the U.S. As a result, the Company’s Comparable Hotels and Same Store Hotels revenue and operating results generally remained unchanged or had a slight decrease during the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the three
21
months ended March 31, 2024. The Company expects RevPAR for its Comparable Hotels to seasonally improve and RevPAR for the full year of 2025 to be in line with 2024, assuming the current macroeconomic environment continues.
Revenues
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, 2025 and 2024, the Company had total revenue of $327.7 million and $329.5 million, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, Comparable Hotels achieved combined average occupancy of 71.1% and 72.2%, ADR of $156.56 and $155.05 and RevPAR of $111.36 and $111.97. 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 2024, during the three months ended March 31, 2025, occupancy decreased by 1.3% while ADR increased by 2.0%, resulting in a marginal increase of 0.7% in RevPAR. RevPAR growth for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to the same period of 2024, was driven by the higher RevPAR from the additional hotels acquired in 2024 as compared to the lower RevPAR of those hotels that were sold during and since the first quarter of 2024. While RevPAR growth was positive, room revenue saw a slight decline, primarily due to the additional day of revenues in 2024 from the leap year. Markets with significant above average growth in the first quarter of 2025, compared to the same period in 2024, for the Company included Houston, Los Angeles, New Orleans, Richmond, Salt Lake City and Tampa. Government demand softened late in the quarter, driven by recent changes made by the current administration to curtail government spending, which has had and is expected to continue to have, a modestly negative impact on revenue should current conditions persist.
Hotel Operating Expense
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. For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, hotel operating expense totaled $199.9 million and $197.3 million, respectively, or 61.0% and 59.9% of total revenue for the respective periods. The increase in hotel operating expense for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to the same period in 2024, was primarily driven by increased labor costs, increased utility costs and general inflationary pressures throughout the overall economy. The Company continues to feel upward pressure on total payroll costs given a competitive labor market where the demand for strong hotel talent remains high. However, the rate of wage growth has slowed and management companies have made progress in reducing their use of contract labor. For the remainder of 2025, the Company anticipates a slightly more favorable operating expense environment as the impact of inflationary pressures moderates, however, there still exists uncertainty around the potential inflationary impact of new tariff policies. The Company continues to monitor its management companies’ efforts to realize operational efficiencies and mitigate the impact of cost pressures resulting from inflation and a tight labor market. The Company will continue to support its management companies to implement adjustments to the hotel operating model in response to continued changes in the operating environment and guest preferences, including their efforts to maximize operational efficiency.
Property Taxes, Insurance and Other Expense
Property taxes, insurance and other expense for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 totaled $23.4 million and $21.0 million, respectively, or 7.1% and 6.4% of total revenue for the respective periods. The increase in property taxes, insurance and other expense for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to the same period in 2024, was primarily due to an increase in property taxes in certain markets and liability insurance premiums, partially offset by decreases in property insurance premiums. The Company will continue to proactively pursue tax assessment appeals in certain jurisdictions in an attempt to minimize tax increases, as warranted.
General and Administrative Expense
General and administrative expense for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 was $9.2 million and $10.6 million, respectively, or 2.8% and 3.2% of total revenue for the respective periods. 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 decrease in general and administrative expense for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to the same period in 2024, was primarily due to decreased accruals for anticipated performance under the Company’s executive incentive compensation plan, partially offset by increased payroll and related benefit costs.
Depreciation and Amortization Expense
Depreciation and amortization expense for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 was $47.9 million and $46.8 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 increase of approximately $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to the same period in 2024, was
22
primarily due to the acquisitions of two hotels in the first half of 2024, as well as renovations completed throughout 2024 and the first quarter of 2025, partially offset by the sale of six hotels in 2024 and two hotels in the first quarter of 2025.
Interest and Other Expense, net
Interest and other expense, net for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 was $19.4 million and $17.3 million, respectively. Interest and other expense, net for both the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 is net of approximately $0.8 million and $0.6 million, respectively, of interest capitalized associated with renovation projects.
Interest expense related to the Company’s debt instruments for the three months ended March 31, 2025 increased compared to the same period of 2024 as a result of higher average borrowings associated with variable-rate debt and higher average interest rates on the Company's variable-rate debt due to the current inflationary environment. The Company anticipates interest expense for the remainder of 2025 will be greater than the interest expense for the same period of 2024 as a result of a decrease in the amount of variable-rate debt that is fixed by interest rate swaps and higher borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility. The proportion of fixed-rate debt was less over the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the same period of 2024, as the Company had six interest rate swaps in effect on $285.0 million of variable-rate debt that matured during 2024 while the Company entered into four new swaps in effect on $200.0 million of variable rate debt during 2024, but at a higher fixed rate than the swaps that expired. If the Company continues to replace expiring interest rate swaps in the current interest rate environment with new agreements, the Company anticipates those new agreements to be at higher rates than the expiring swap agreements.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
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.
FFO and MFFO
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. In addition, MFFO is a component of a key compensation measure of operational performance within the 2025 Incentive Plan.

EBITDA, EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDAre and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA
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 as well as Adjusted EBITDAre from the non-hotel property 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 it is used by management to measure the performance of the Company’s hotels and effectiveness of the operators of the hotels. In addition, Adjusted EBITDAre and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA are both components of key compensation measures of operational performance within the 2025 Incentive Plan.

As of March 31, 2025, the Company’s independent boutique hotel in New York, New York was leased to a third-party hotel operator and was excluded from the Company’s hotel and guest room counts. As a result of the third-party hotel operator's failure to make lease payments, in 2024, the Company commenced legal proceedings to remove the third-party hotel operator from possession of the non-hotel property. In April 2025, the Company and the third-party hotel operator entered into an agreement to mutually release all claims, to terminate the lease and for the third-party hotel operator to voluntarily surrender possession of the non-hotel property. On April 4, 2025, the Company recovered possession of the non-hotel property and reinstated operations of the hotel's 209 guest rooms through a third-party manager engaged by the Company.
(4)
Hotel is classified as held for sale as of March 31, 2025 and is expected to be sold to an unrelated third party in the third quarter of 2025.

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 have been 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.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Capital Resources
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 Company’s current at-the-market offering 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, 2025, the Company had $1.5 billion of total outstanding debt consisting of $252.3 million of mortgage debt and $1.3 billion outstanding under its unsecured credit facilities, excluding unamortized debt issuance costs and fair value adjustments. As of March 31, 2025, the Company had available corporate cash on hand of approximately $14.9 million, and unused borrowing capacity under its Revolving Credit Facility of approximately $500.2 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. The Company was in compliance with the applicable covenants as of March 31, 2025.
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 details regarding the Company’s debt agreements as of March 31, 2025.
The Company has a universal shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (No. 333-285184) that was automatically effective upon filing on February 25, 2025. 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.
On February 23, 2024, the Company entered into an equity distribution agreement pursuant to which the Company may sell, from time to time, up to an aggregate of $500 million of its common shares under the ATM Program. No common shares were sold under the Company’s ATM Program during the three months ended March 31, 2025 or during the year ended December 31, 2024. The Company plans to use future net proceeds from the sale of shares under the ATM Program, or a similar successor program, for general corporate purposes which may include, among other things, acquisitions of additional properties, the repayment of outstanding indebtedness, capital expenditures, improvement of properties in its portfolio and working capital. The Company may also use the future net proceeds to acquire another REIT or other company that invests in income producing properties. 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.
Capital Uses
The Company anticipates that cash flow from operations, availability under its Revolving Credit Facility, 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.
Distributions
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. On March 20, 2025, the Company declared a monthly cash distribution of $0.08 per common share, paid on April 15, 2025, to shareholders of record as of March 31, 2025. For the three months
32
ended March 31, 2025, the Company paid distributions of $0.29 per common share, for a total of $69.6 million. Subsequent to quarter end, on April 17, 2025, the Company declared a monthly cash distribution of $0.08 per common share, payable on May 15, 2025 to shareholders of record as of April 30, 2025.
The Company's current annual distribution rate, payable monthly, is $0.96 per common share. As it has done historically, due to seasonality, the Company may use its Revolving Credit Facility to maintain the consistency of the monthly distribution rate, taking into consideration any acquisitions, dispositions, capital improvements and economic cycles. 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 or to the extent required to maintain the Company’s REIT status. If cash 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.
Share Repurchases
In May 2024, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a one-year extension of its existing Share Repurchase Program, authorizing share repurchases up to an aggregate of $335.4 million. The Share Repurchase Program may be suspended or terminated at any time by the Company and will end in July 2025 if not terminated or extended earlier. The Company previously entered into and expects to continue to enter into written trading plans as part of the Share Repurchase Program that provide for share repurchases in open market transactions that are intended to comply with Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company purchased, under its Share Repurchase Program, approximately 1.9 million of its common shares at a weighted-average market purchase price of approximately $13.61 per common share for an aggregate purchase price, including commissions, of approximately $26.3 million. The Company did not repurchase any common shares during the three months ended March 31, 2024. Repurchases under the Share Repurchase Program have been funded, and the Company intends to fund future repurchases, with cash on hand, proceeds from dispositions 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, 2025, approximately $274.5 million remained available for purchase under the Share Repurchase Program.
Capital Improvements
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 at the applicable hotels, based on a percentage of the hotel’s gross revenues, provided that such amount may be used for the Company’s capital expenditures with respect to those hotels. As of March 31, 2025, the Company held approximately $31.5 million in reserves related to these properties. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company invested approximately $19.6 million in capital expenditures. The Company anticipates spending approximately $80 million to $90 million during 2025, which includes various comprehensive renovation projects for approximately 20 properties, however, inflationary pressures, supply chain shortages or tariffs, 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.
Upcoming Debt Maturities and Debt Service Payments
As of March 31, 2025, the Company had approximately $361.1 million of principal and interest payments due on its debt over the next 12 months. Included in this total is a $7.3 million mortgage, which was fully repaid on April 11, 2025, a $25.9 million mortgage that matures in the second quarter of 2025, one mortgage, covering two properties, totaling $30.1 million that matures in the third quarter of 2025 and two unsecured term loans totaling $225.0 million that mature in the third quarter of 2025. The Company plans to pay outstanding amounts and service payments due upon the upcoming debt maturity dates using funds from operations, borrowings under its Revolving Credit Facility, proceeds from new financing, available credit extensions under its unsecured credit facilities or by refinancing the maturing debt. The Company may also pursue amendments with its lenders to extend the maturity date of any expiring loans. Interest expense related to the Company’s unsecured credit facilities is expected to be higher over the next 12 months than it was during the previous 12 months as a result of increased borrowings under the Company’s Revolving Credit Facility and a decrease in the amount of the Company’s variable-rate debt that is fixed by interest rate swaps partially offset by the expected decrease in SOFR rates. The proportion of variable-rate debt that is fixed by interest rate swaps was less over the three months ended
33
March 31, 2025 compared to the same period of 2024, as the Company had six interest rate swaps in effect on $285.0 million of variable-rate debt that matured during 2024 while the Company entered into four new interest rate swaps in effect on $200.0 million of variable-rate debt during 2024, but at higher rates than the swap agreements that expired. If the Company continues to replace expiring interest rate swaps in the current interest rate environment with new agreements, the Company anticipates those new agreements to be at higher rates than the expiring swap agreements. See Note 4 titled “Debt” and 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 more detail regarding future maturities of the Company’s debt instruments and interest rate swap agreements as of March 31, 2025.
Purchase Contract Commitments
As of March 31, 2025, the Company had separate outstanding contracts for the potential purchase of two hotels, consisting of one existing hotel in Tampa, Florida with an expected closing date in June 2025 and one hotel under development in Nashville, Tennessee, for a total combined purchase price of approximately $117.0 million. The Nashville Motto is currently planned to be completed and opened for business in late 2025, at which time the 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 there can be no assurance that closings on these hotels will occur under their respective outstanding purchase contracts. If the seller under the Nashville Motto contract meets all of the conditions to closing, the Company is obligated to specifically perform under that contract and acquire the completed hotel. If the closings occur, the Company plans to utilize its available cash or borrowings under its unsecured credit facilities available at closing to purchase the properties under contract.
Cash Management Activities
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.
Impact of Inflation
The Company relies on the performance of its hotels and the ability of its hotel operators to increase revenue to keep pace with inflation. Hotel operators, in general, possess the ability to adjust room rates daily to reflect the effects of inflation on the Company's operating expenses. However, competitive pressures and other factors could limit the operators’ ability to raise room rates and, as a result, the Company may not be able to offset increased operating expenses with increases in revenue. Additionally, tariff-induced inflation could increase certain operating and renovation costs, as some supplies and construction materials are imported, as well as negatively impact leisure travel by reducing the discretionary income of consumers.
Business Interruption
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.
Seasonality
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. 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.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
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
34
ended December 31, 2024, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 24, 2025. There have been no material changes to the Company’s critical accounting policies or the methods or assumptions applied.
Subsequent Events
In April 2025, the Company purchased, under its Share Repurchase Program, approximately 0.5 million of its common shares, at a weighted-average market purchase price of approximately $12.18 per common share, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $6.0 million, including commissions.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitat
ive Disclosures About Market Risk
As of March 31, 2025, 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 debt that is not fixed by interest rate swaps. As of March 31, 2025, after giving effect to interest rate swaps, as described below, approximately $428.0 million, or approximately 28% 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, 2025, every 100 basis points change in interest rates will impact the Company’s annual net income by approximately $4.3 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, 2025, the Company’s variable-rate debt consisted of its unsecured credit facilities, including $148.0 million in borrowings outstanding under its Revolving Credit Facility and $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, 2025, the Company had 12 interest rate swap agreements that effectively fix the interest payments on approximately $735.0 million of the Company’s variable-rate debt outstanding with swap maturity dates ranging from May 2025 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 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, 2025.
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 two fixed-rate senior notes 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, 2025. All dollar amounts are in thousands.
