NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)
(unaudited)
Note 1. Organization and Basis of Presentation
Service Properties Trust, or we, us or our, is a real estate investment trust, or REIT, organized on February 7, 1995 under the laws of the State of Maryland, which invests in hotels and service-focused retail net lease properties. At March 31, 2025, we owned, directly and through our subsidiaries,
202
hotels and
739
service-focused retail net lease properties.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of us are unaudited. Certain information and disclosures required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, for complete financial statements have been condensed or omitted. We believe the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. However, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, or our 2024 Annual Report. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals considered necessary for a fair statement of results for the interim period have been included. These condensed consolidated financial statements include our accounts and the accounts of our subsidiaries, all of which are
100
% owned directly or indirectly by us. All intercompany transactions and balances with or among our consolidated subsidiaries have been eliminated. Our operating results for interim periods and those of our managers and tenants are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.
Certain prior period balances have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates in our condensed consolidated financial statements include the allowance for credit losses, purchase price allocations, useful lives of fixed assets and impairment of real estate and related intangibles.
We have determined that each of our wholly owned taxable REIT subsidiaries, or TRSs, is a variable interest entity, or VIE, as defined under the Consolidation Topic of the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB,
Accounting Standards Codification
™
, or ASC
.
We have concluded that we must consolidate each of our wholly owned TRSs because we are the entity with the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact such VIEs’ performance and we have the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from each VIE that could be significant to the VIE and are, therefore, the primary beneficiary of each VIE.
The assets of our TRSs were $
157,084
and $
144,079
as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, and consist primarily of our TRSs’ investment in Sonesta International Hotels Corporation’s, or, collectively with its parent and subsidiaries, Sonesta’s, common stock and amounts due from and working capital advances to certain of our hotel managers. The liabilities of our TRSs were $
94,169
and $
78,749
as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, and consist primarily of amounts payable to certain of our hotel managers. The assets of our TRSs are available to satisfy our TRSs’ obligations and we have guaranteed certain obligations of our TRSs.
Note 2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update, or ASU, No. 2023-09,
Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures
, or ASU No. 2023-09, which requires public entities to enhance its annual income tax disclosures by requiring: (i) consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation, and (ii) income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. ASU No. 2023-09 should be applied prospectively but entities have the option to apply it retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. ASU No. 2023-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact ASU No. 2023-09 will have on our condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03,
Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses,
or ASU 2024-03, which requires public entities to disclose specific expense categories such as employee compensation, depreciation and intangible asset amortization. These details must be presented in a tabular format in the notes to financial statements for both interim and annual reporting periods. ASU 2024-03 is required to be applied prospectively but can be applied retrospectively, and is effective for the first annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact ASU 2024-03 will have on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Note 3. Revenue Recognition
We report hotel operating revenues for managed hotels in our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss). We generally recognize hotel operating revenues, consisting primarily of room and food and beverage sales, when goods and services are provided.
We report rental income for leased properties in our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss). We recognize rental income from operating leases on a straight line basis over the terms of the lease agreements.
We increased rental income by $
3,878
and $
5,768
for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, to record scheduled rent changes under certain of our leases on a straight line basis. Other assets, net, includes $
87,001
and $
81,574
of straight line rent receivables at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
Certain of our lease agreements require additional percentage rent if gross revenues of our properties exceed certain thresholds defined in our lease agreements. We determine percentage rent due to us under our leases monthly, quarterly or annually, as applicable, depending on the specific lease terms, and recognize it when all contingencies are met and the rent is earned.
We recorded percentage rent of $
846
and $
544
for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Note 4. Per Common Share Amounts
We calculate basic earnings per common share using the two class method. We calculate diluted earnings per common share using the more dilutive of the two class method or the treasury stock method. Unvested common share awards and other potentially dilutive common shares, together with the related impact on earnings, are considered when calculating diluted earnings per common share.
The calculation of basic and diluted earnings per common share is as follows (amounts in thousands, except per share data):

As of March 31, 2025, all
202
of our hotels were managed by subsidiaries of the following companies: Sonesta (
177
hotels), Hyatt Hotels Corporation, or Hyatt (
17
hotels), Radisson Hospitality, Inc., or Radisson (
seven
hotels), and InterContinental Hotels Group, plc, or IHG (

739
service-focused retail net lease properties were leased by
175
tenants, including

Hotel Agreements
Sonesta Agreement
As of March 31, 2025, Sonesta managed
39
of our full service hotels,
99
of our extended stay hotels and
39
of our select service hotels pursuant to management agreements for all of the hotels, which we collectively refer to as our Sonesta agreement. As of March 31, 2025, the hotels Sonesta managed for us comprised approximately
49.8
% of our total historical real estate investments.
Our Sonesta agreement, which expires on January 31, 2037 and includes
two
15
-year renewal options, provides that we are paid an annual owner’s priority return if gross revenues of the hotels, after payment of hotel operating expenses and management and related fees (other than Sonesta’s incentive fee, if applicable), are sufficient to do so. The Sonesta agreement further provides that we are paid an additional return equal to
80
% of the operating profits, as defined therein, after paying the owner’s priority return, reimbursing owner or manager advances, funding FF&E reserves and paying Sonesta’s incentive fee, if applicable. We do not have any security deposits or guarantees for our Sonesta hotels. We realized returns under our Sonesta agreement of $
18,169
and $
27,375
during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Our Sonesta agreement requires us to fund capital expenditures made at our hotels. We incurred capital expenditures for hotels included in our Sonesta agreement in an aggregate amount of $
41,561
and $
46,996
during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, which resulted in increases in our contractual annual owner’s priority returns of $
2,494
and $
2,820
, respectively. Our annual priority return under our Sonesta agreement as of March 31, 2025 was $
354,924
. We owed Sonesta $
7,517
and $
18,199
for capital expenditures and other reimbursements at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Sonesta owed us $
19,908
and $
3,911
in owner’s priority returns and other amounts as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Amounts due from Sonesta are included in due from related persons and amounts owed to Sonesta are included in due to related persons in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Our Sonesta agreement requires that
5
% of the hotel gross revenues be escrowed for future capital expenditures as FF&E reserves, subject to available cash flows after payment of the owner’s priority returns due to us. No FF&E escrow deposits were required during either of the three months ended March 31, 2025 or 2024.
Pursuant to our Sonesta agreement, we incurred management, reservation and system fees and reimbursement costs for certain guest loyalty, marketing programs and third-party reservation transmission fees of
$
26,276
and $
27,015
for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. These fees and costs are included in hotel operating expenses in our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss). In addition, we incurred procurement and construction supervision fees payable to Sonesta of
$
621
and $
400
for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, which amounts have been capitalized in our condensed consolidated balance sheets and are depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the related capital assets.
We are required to maintain working capital for each of our hotels managed by Sonesta and have advanced a fixed amount based on the number of rooms in each hotel to meet the cash needs for hotel operations. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had advanced $
45,952
and $
46,466
, respectively, of initial working capital to Sonesta net of any working capital returned to us on termination of the applicable management agreements in connection with hotels we have sold. These amounts are included in other assets, net and assets of properties held for sale, as applicable, in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Any remaining working capital would be returned to us upon termination in accordance with the terms of our Sonesta agreement.
See Notes 7 and 11 for further information regarding our relationships, agreements and transactions with Sonesta.

(unaudited)
Hyatt Agreement
As of March 31, 2025, Hyatt managed
17
of our select service hotels pursuant to a portfolio management agreement that expires on March 31, 2031, or our Hyatt agreement, and provides that, as of March 31, 2025, we are to be paid an annual owner’s priority return of $
17,400
. Any returns we receive from Hyatt are currently limited to the hotels’ available cash flows, if any, after payment of operating expenses. Hyatt has provided us with a $
30,000
limited guarantee for
75
% of the aggregate annual owner’s priority returns due to us that became effective upon substantial completion of planned renovations of the hotels, which occurred in January 2025. We realized returns under our Hyatt agreement of $
3,127
during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and a net operating loss of $
1,108
during the three months ended March 31, 2024. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the hotels under this agreement generated cash flows that were less than the guaranteed owner’s priority level due to us for this period, and we reduced hotel operating expenses by $
1,367
, to record the guaranteed amount of the shortfall due from Hyatt. The available balance of the guaranty was $
28,633
as of March 31, 2025. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we incurred capital expenditures for certain hotels included in our Hyatt agreement of $
1,619
; however, the contractual annual owner’s priority returns did not increase as the cost of the renovations had reached the maximum stated in our management agreement with Hyatt. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we incurred capital expenditures for certain hotels included in our Hyatt agreement of $
20,225
, which resulted in an increase in our contractual annual owner’s priority returns of $
1,214
.
Radisson Agreement
As of March 31, 2025, Radisson managed
seven
of our full service hotels pursuant to a portfolio management agreement that expires on July 31, 2031, or our Radisson agreement, and provides that we are to be paid an annual owner’s priority return of $
10,906
. Radisson has provided us with a $
22,000
limited guarantee for
75
% of the aggregate annual owner’s priority returns due to us that became effective on January 1, 2023, subject to adjustment for planned renovations of certain hotels, which occurred in December 2024. We realized returns under our Radisson agreement of $
1,403
and $
1,451
during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the hotels under this agreement generated cash flows that were less than the guaranteed owner’s priority level due to us for these periods, and we reduced hotel operating expenses by $
2,045
and $
522
, respectively, to record the guaranteed amount of the shortfalls due from Radisson. The available balance of the guaranty was $
19,305
as of March 31, 2025. We did
not
incur any capital expenditures during the three months ended March 31, 2025 for the hotels included in our Radisson agreement. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we incurred capital expenditures of $
286
for the hotels included in our Radisson agreement, which resulted in an increase in our contractual owner’s priority returns of $
17
.
IHG Agreement
Our management agreement with IHG for
one
hotel expires on January 31, 2026. We realized returns under our management agreement with IHG of $
2,243
and $
1,593
during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Any returns we receive from IHG are limited to the hotel’s available cash flows, if any, after payment of operating expenses. During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, we incurred capital expenditures of $
975
and $
149
, respectively, for the hotel included in our IHG agreement.
Net Lease Portfolio
As of March 31, 2025, we owned
739
service-focused retail net lease properties with an aggregate of
13,189,476
square feet with leases requiring annual minimum rents of $
380,568
with a weighted (by annual minimum rents) average remaining lease term of
7.8
years. Our net lease properties were
97.8
% occupied and leased by
175
tenants operating under
136
brands in
21
distinct industries.

TA Leases
As of March 31, 2025, TA is our largest tenant, representing
28.8
% of our total historical real estate investments. We lease to TA a total of
175
travel centers under
five
master leases that expire in 2033, or our TA leases, subject to TA’s right to extend those leases, and require annual minimum rents of $
259,080
as of March 31, 2025. TA receives a monthly rent credit totaling $
25,000
per year over the
10-year
initial term of the TA leases as a result of rent it prepaid.
Our TA leases are “triple net” leases that require TA to pay all costs incurred in the operation of the leased travel centers, including personnel, utility, inventory, customer service and insurance expenses, real estate and personal property taxes, environmental related expenses, underground storage tank maintenance costs and ground lease payments at those travel centers at which we lease the property and sublease it to TA. Our TA leases generally require TA to indemnify us for certain environmental matters and for liabilities that arise during the terms of the leases from ownership or operation of the leased travel centers. Our TA leases do not require FF&E escrow deposits. However, TA is required to maintain the leased travel centers, including structural and non-structural components. BP Corporation North America Inc., a subsidiary of BP p.l.c., guarantees payment under each of the TA leases, limited to an aggregate cap which was $
3,037,475
as of March 31, 2025.
We recognized rental income from our TA leases of $
67,834
for each of the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. Rental income was increased by $
3,039
and $
4,309
for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, to record the scheduled rent changes on a straight line basis. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had receivables for current rent amounts owed to us by TA and straight line rent adjustments of $
44,811
and $
40,097
, respectively, included in other assets, net in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Our other net lease agreements generally provide for minimum rent payments and in addition may include variable payments. Rental income from operating leases, including any payments derived by index or market-based indices, is recognized on a straight line basis over the lease term when we have determined that the collectability of substantially all of the lease payments is probable. Some of our leases have options to extend or terminate the lease exercisable at the option of our tenants, which are considered when determining the lease term. We recognized rental income from our net lease properties (excluding TA) of $
32,382
and $
32,180
for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, which included $
839
and $
1,459
, respectively, of adjustments to record scheduled rent changes under certain of our leases on a straight line basis.
We continually review receivables related to rent, straight line rent and property operating expense reimbursements and determine collectability by taking into consideration the tenant’s payment history, the financial condition of the tenant, business conditions in the industry in which the tenant operates and economic conditions in the area in which the property is located. The review includes an assessment of whether substantially all of the amounts due under a tenant’s lease are probable of collection. For leases that are deemed probable of collection, revenue continues to be recorded on a straight line basis over the lease term. For leases that are deemed not probable of collection, revenue is recorded as cash is received. We recognize all changes in the collectability assessment for an operating lease as an adjustment to rental income. We recorded reserves for uncollectable amounts and reduced rental income by $
235
and $
665
for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, based on our assessment of the collectability of rents. We had reserves for uncollectable rents of $
4,959
and $
5,058
as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, included in other assets, net in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Note 7. Equity Method Investment
As of both March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we owned
34
% of Sonesta’s outstanding common stock. We account for our
34
% non-controlling interest in Sonesta under the equity method of accounting.
As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, our investment in Sonesta had a carrying value of $
112,024
and $
115,818
, respectively. On the date of acquisition of our initial equity interest in Sonesta (February 27, 2020), the cost basis of our investment in Sonesta exceeded our proportionate share of Sonesta’s total stockholders’ equity book value by an aggregate of $
8,000
. As required under GAAP, we are amortizing this difference to equity in earnings of an investee over
31
years, the weighted average remaining useful life of the real estate assets and intangible assets and liabilities owned by Sonesta as of the date of our acquisition. We recorded amortization of the basis difference of $
65
in each of the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. We recognized losses of $
3,947
and $
5,338
related to our investment in Sonesta for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. These amounts, which include amortization of the basis difference, are included in equity in losses of an investee in our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss).
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)
(unaudited)
We recorded a liability of $
42,000
for the fair value of our initial investment in Sonesta, as no cash consideration was exchanged related to the modification of our management agreement with, and investment in, Sonesta. This liability for our investment in Sonesta is included in accounts payable and other liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheets and is being amortized on a straight line basis through the initial term of the Sonesta agreement, January 31, 2037, as a reduction to hotel operating expenses in our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss). We reduced hotel operating expenses by $
621
for each of the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 for amortization of this liability. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the unamortized balance of this liability was $
29,374
and $
29,995
, respectively.
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we funded a capital contribution to Sonesta of $
3,392
to support its growth initiatives, including its franchising efforts. We continue to maintain our
34
% ownership in Sonesta after giving effect to this contribution.
See Notes 6 and 11 for further information regarding our relationships, agreements and transactions with Sonesta.
Note 8. Indebtedness
Our principal debt obligations at March 31, 2025 were: (1) $
50,000
of outstanding borrowings under our $
650,000
revolving credit facility; (2) $
4,075,000
aggregate outstanding principal amount of senior unsecured notes; (3) $
1,000,000
aggregate outstanding principal amount of senior secured notes; (4) $
606,122
aggregate outstanding principal amount of net lease mortgage notes; and (5) $
45,000
of outstanding borrowings under our $
45,000
variable funding note.
Revolving Credit Facility
Our $
650,000
secured revolving credit facility is available for general business purposes, including acquisitions. We can borrow, repay and reborrow funds available under our revolving credit facility until maturity and no principal repayments are due until maturity. Availability of borrowings under our credit agreement is subject to ongoing minimum performance and market values of the collateral properties, satisfying certain financial covenants and other credit facility conditions. The maturity date of our revolving credit facility is June 29, 2027, and, subject to the payment of an extension fee and meeting certain other conditions, we have an option to further extend the stated maturity date of the facility by
two
additional
six-month
periods.
Interest payable on drawings under our revolving credit facility is based on the secured overnight financing rate, or SOFR, plus a margin ranging from
1.50
% to
3.00
% based on our leverage ratio, as defined in our credit agreement, which was
2.50
% as of March 31, 2025. We also pay unused commitment fees of
20
to
30
basis points per annum on the total amount of lending commitments under our revolving credit facility based on amounts outstanding. As of March 31, 2025 and 2024, the annual interest rate payable on borrowings under our revolving credit facility was
6.91
% and
7.84
%, respectively. The weighted average interest rate for borrowings under our revolving credit facility was
6.94
% for the three months ended March 31, 2025. We had
no
borrowings outstanding under our revolving credit facility for the three months ended March 31, 2024. As of both March 31, 2025 and May 2, 2025, we had $
50,000
outstanding under our revolving credit facility and $
600,000
available for borrowings.
As collateral for all loans and other obligations under our revolving credit facility, certain of our subsidiaries pledged all of their respective equity interests in certain of our direct and indirect property owning subsidiaries, and our pledged subsidiaries provided first mortgage liens on
67
properties, including
64
hotels and
three
net lease properties, with an aggregate undepreciated book value of $
1,691,230
as of March 31, 2025. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we sold
two
hotels that previously served as collateral under our revolving credit facility. In connection with the sales of these hotels, the hotels were released from the collateral pool in accordance with the terms of our revolving credit facility.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)
(unaudited)
In February 2025, we and our lenders amended the agreement governing our revolving credit facility to reduce the required debt service coverage ratio covenant from
1.50
times to
1.30
times effective with respect to the fourth quarter of 2024 and continuing through the end of the loan term. In order to exercise the first extension option, we are required to maintain a
1.50
times debt service coverage level as of and for the duration of the extension period. We also agreed to change the required collateral property debt yield to
10
% effective with respect to the first quarter of 2025 and continuing through the end of the loan term and to swap collateral properties as follows:
47
hotels with an aggregate of
7,981
keys and an aggregate undepreciated book value of $
1,375,449
will be released from the collateral pool and
35
travel centers leased to TA, which travel centers we refer to as our TA No. 5 lease, with an aggregate undepreciated book value of $
598,908
, will be added as collateral to our revolving credit facility. Of the hotels being released from the collateral pool,
36
hotels with an aggregate of
4,862
keys and an aggregate undepreciated book value of $
655,514
are part of our hotel disposition plan. The corresponding equity pledges will be swapped as well. We expect to complete this collateral swap by the end of the second quarter of 2025.
Our debt agreements provide for acceleration of payment of all amounts outstanding upon the occurrence and continuation of certain events of default, such as, in the case of our credit agreement, a change of control of us, which includes The RMR Group LLC, or RMR, ceasing to act as our business manager. Our debt agreements also contain covenants, including those that restrict our ability to incur debts or to make distributions under certain circumstances and generally require us to maintain certain financial ratios. Borrowings under our revolving credit facility are subject to meeting ongoing minimum performance and market values of the collateral properties, satisfying certain financial covenants and other credit facility conditions. We believe we were in compliance with the terms and conditions of our debt agreements as of March 31, 2025.
Net Lease Mortgage Notes
Our
$
610,200
in aggregate principal amount of net lease mortgage notes were issued on February 10, 2023 by our wholly owned, special purpose bankruptcy remote, indirect subsidiary, SVC ABS LLC, or the Issuer. The Issuer is a separate legal entity and is the sole owner of its assets and liabilities. The assets of the Issuer are not available to pay or otherwise satisfy obligations to the creditors of any owners or affiliates of the Issuer.

315
net lease retail properties owned by the Issuer. As of March 31, 2025, the current leases relating to those properties required annual minimum rents of $
67,001
and had an aggregate undepreciated book value of $
760,165
.
On January 27, 2025, the Issuer issued a variable funding note, or the VFN, secured by the
315
net lease properties that secure our existing $
606,122
of net lease mortgage notes. The VFN permits borrowings on a revolving basis up to $
45,000
and the Issuer can borrow, repay and reborrow funds available until maturity. The maturity date of the VFN is January 27, 2027, and, subject to the payment of an extension fee and meeting certain other conditions, can be extended by

6.19
% for the three months ended March 31, 2025. As of March 31, 2025, $
45,000
was outstanding under the VFN.

Note 10. Business and Property Management Agreements with RMR
We have
no
employees. The personnel and various services we require to operate our business are provided to us by RMR. We have

100,000
credit agreement and related security agreement entered into by RMR and certain of its subsidiaries with Citibank, N.A., or Citibank, and the other lenders party thereto, we consented to the pledge and assignment of RMR’s interest in our management agreements under the security agreement. Pursuant to the consent, we agreed, among other things, that upon notice that an event of default under the RMR credit agreement has occurred and is continuing, we will continue to make all payments under our management agreements in accordance with the instructions of Citibank, and that if there is an event of default by RMR under our management agreements that would allow us to terminate or suspend our obligations, we will not terminate or suspend without notice to Citibank and provide Citibank
30
days to cure the default on RMR’s behalf. The consent was approved by our Independent Trustees.
Note 11. Related Person Transactions
We have relationships and historical and continuing transactions with Sonesta, RMR, RMR Inc., and others related to them, including other companies to which RMR or its subsidiaries provide management services and some of which have trustees, directors or officers who are also our Trustees or officers.

Our Manager, RMR
We have
two
agreements with RMR to provide management services to us. See Note 10 for further information regarding our management agreements with RMR.
Sonesta
Sonesta
is a private company of which Adam Portnoy, one of our Managing Trustees, is a director and the controlling shareholder. One of Sonesta’s other directors and president and chief executive officer was our other Managing Trustee until March 2025, and Sonesta’s other director serves as one of RMR Inc.’s managing directors, as RMR’s and RMR Inc.’s executive vice president, general counsel and secretary and as our Secretary. Certain other officers and employees of Sonesta are former officers and employees of RMR. RMR also provides certain services to Sonesta.
As of March 31, 2025, we owned
34
% of Sonesta’s outstanding shares of common stock and Sonesta managed
177
of our hotels. See Notes 6 and 7 for further information regarding our relationships, agreements and transactions with Sonesta.
For further information about these and certain other such relationships and certain other related person transactions, refer to our 2024 Annual Report.
Note 12. Income Taxes
We have elected to be taxed as a REIT under the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the IRC, and, as such, are generally not subject to federal and most state income taxation on our operating income provided we distribute our taxable income to our shareholders and meet certain organization and operating requirements. We are subject to income tax in Canada, Puerto Rico and certain states despite our qualification for taxation as a REIT. Further, we lease our managed hotels to our wholly owned TRSs that, unlike most of our subsidiaries, file a separate consolidated tax return and are subject to federal, state and foreign income taxes. Our consolidated income tax provision (or benefit) includes the income tax provision (or benefit) related to the operations of our TRSs and certain state and foreign income taxes incurred by us despite our qualification for taxation as a REIT.
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we recognized income tax expense of $
843
, which includes $
353
of state tax expense and $
490
of foreign tax expense. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we recognized income tax expense of $
1,007
, which includes $
621
of state tax expense and $
386
of foreign tax expense.
Note 13. Segment Information
Our operating segments are based on our internal reporting structure and property type and are aligned with how our Chief Operating Decision Maker, or CODM, reviews the operating results to allocate resources and assess segment performance. The CODM is our President and Chief Executive Officer. Our
two
reportable segments are hotel investments and net lease investments. Our hotel investments segment consists of hotels managed by subsidiaries of Sonesta, Hyatt, Radisson and IHG. Our net lease investments segment consists of service-focused retail net lease properties, including travel centers leased to TA, our largest tenant.
The significant expense categories and amounts presented below align with the segment-level information that is regularly provided to our CODM. Our CODM reviews operating and financial results, including net income (loss) and its components, to allocate resources and assess segment performance. The accounting policies of our reportable segments are the same as those described in Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements included in our 2024 Annual Report.
The tables below present information about our segments.

Carrying value includes unamortized discounts, premiums and certain debt issuance costs.
At March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we estimated the fair values of our senior notes using an average of the bid and ask price of our then outstanding issuances of senior notes (Level 2 inputs). At March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we estimated the fair value of our net lease mortgage notes using discounted cash flow analyses and current prevailing market rates as of the measurement dates (Level 3 inputs). As Level 3 inputs are unobservable, our estimated value may differ materially from the actual fair value.
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and with our 2024 Annual Report.
Overview (dollars in thousands, except per share amounts and per room hotel data)
We are a REIT organized under the laws of the State of Maryland. As of March 31, 2025, we owned 941 properties in 46 states, the District of Columbia, Canada and Puerto Rico.
Consumer confidence, corporate travel and lodging demand will continue to be affected by economic and market conditions, inflationary pressures, uncertainties surrounding interest rates, unemployment levels, work from home policies, use of technologies and broader economic trends. Increased labor costs and other price inflation may continue to negatively impact our hotel operations and the operations of our tenants. Further, recent announcements regarding tariffs on a wide variety of imports could impact the cost of products our operators use, such as furniture, equipment, materials and supplies sourced from outside the United States. An economic recession or continued or intensified disruptions in the financial markets could adversely affect our financial condition, operations at our hotels, our tenants and their ability or willingness to renew our leases or pay rent to us, may restrict our ability to obtain new or replacement financing, would likely increase our cost of capital, and may cause the values of our properties to decline.
We are at various stages of selling 119 hotels with a total of 15,912 keys and a combined net carrying value of $945,100. We expect to sell these hotels in 2025 and use the net proceeds to repay debt.
Management Agreements and Leases
. At March 31, 2025, we owned 202 hotels operated under four agreements. We leased all of these hotels to our wholly owned TRSs that are managed by hotel operating companies as of that date. At March 31, 2025, we also owned 739 service-focused retail properties leased to 175 tenants subject to “triple net” leases, where the tenants are generally responsible for the payment of operating expenses and capital expenditures. Our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) include hotel operating revenues and hotel operating expenses of our managed hotels and rental income and net lease operating expenses from our net lease properties.
Hotel Portfolio.
As of March 31, 2025, we owned 202 hotels. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the U.S. hotel industry generally realized increases in average daily rate, or ADR, and revenue per available room, or RevPAR, compared to the corresponding 2024 periods. Our hotels produced increases in ADR and outpaced the industry increases in RevPAR, which we believe is partially a result of renovation disruption in the 2024 period.
Comparable Hotels Data.
We present occupancy, ADR and RevPAR for the periods presented on a comparable basis to facilitate comparisons between periods. We define comparable hotels as those that were owned by us and were open and operating for the entirety of the periods being compared. For each of the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, our comparable results exclude one hotel that suspended operations during the periods presented. The following table provides a summary of these revenue metrics for the periods presented.
The following table provides a summary for all of our hotels with these revenue metrics for the periods presented, which we believe are key indicators of performance at our hotels.

Net Lease Portfolio
. As of March 31, 2025, we owned 739 service-focused retail net lease properties with an aggregate of 13,189,476 square feet leased to 175 tenants subject to “triple net” leases (where the tenants are responsible for payments of operating expenses and capital expenditures) requiring annual minimum rents of $380,568. Our net lease properties were 97.8% occupied as of March 31, 2025 with a weighted (by annual minimum rent) average lease term of 7.8 years, operating under 136 brands in 21 distinct industries. TA is our largest tenant and as of March 31, 2025, leased 175 of our travel centers under five master leases that expire in 2033 and require annual minimum rents of $259,080. In addition, TA receives an annual credit of $25,000 as a result of prepaid rent. BP Corporation North America Inc. guarantees payment under the TA leases, subject to a cap.
Additional details of our hotel operating agreements and our net lease agreements are set forth in Note 6 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

References to changes in the income and expense categories below relate to the comparison of consolidated results for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024.
Hotel operating revenues.
The decrease in hotel operating revenues is primarily a result of our sales of certain hotels since January 1, 2024 ($7,798), partially offset by increases in occupancy and average rates at certain hotels during the 2025 period ($6,525). Additional operating statistics of our hotels are included in the tables beginning on page 32.
Rental income.
The increase in rental income is primarily a result of higher rental income recognized at certain of our net lease properties ($710), partially offset by our sales of certain net lease properties since January 1, 2024 ($508).
Hotel operating expenses.
The increase in hotel operating expenses is primarily a result of increases in wages and benefits ($6,967) and other operating expenses ($2,697) in the 2025 period, partially offset by our sales of certain hotels since January 1, 2024 ($8,910).
Net lease operating expenses.
The increase in net lease operating expenses is primarily the result of increased property management fees ($594) and other operating expenses ($311) in the 2025 period.
Depreciation and amortization - hotels.
The decrease in depreciation and amortization - hotels is primarily a result of certain of our depreciable assets becoming fully depreciated since January 1, 2024 ($5,769) and our sale of certain hotels since January 1, 2024 ($2,498), partially offset by depreciation and amortization related to capital expenditures made since January 1, 2024 ($6,924).
Depreciation and amortization - net lease properties.
The decrease in depreciation and amortization - net lease properties is primarily a result of certain of our depreciable assets becoming fully depreciated since January 1, 2024 ($2,129) and our sale of certain net lease properties since January 1, 2024 ($535).
General and administrative.
The decrease in general and administrative costs is primarily due to decreases in business management fees ($827) and other professional fees ($123) in the 2025 period.
Transaction related costs
. Transaction related costs for the 2025 period primarily consisted of costs related to the renovation of certain hotels, partially offset by the recovery of a working capital reserve related to our former agreement with Marriott International, Inc. previously deemed uncollectable and expensed in 2021.
Loss on asset impairment.
We recorded a $37,067 loss on asset impairment during the 2025 period to reduce the carrying value of 16 hotels to their estimated fair value less costs to sell. We recorded a $2,451 loss on asset impairment during the 2024 period to reduce the carrying value of five net lease properties to their estimated fair value less costs to sell.
Gain (loss) on sale of real estate, net.
We recorded a $746 net gain on sale of real estate during the 2025 period in connection with the sales of four hotels and three net lease properties. We recorded a $2,963 net loss on sale of real estate during the 2024 period in connection with the sales of one hotel and three net lease properties.
Interest income.
The decrease in interest income is due to lower average cash balances invested and lower interest rates during the 2025 period compared to the 2024 period.
Interest expense.
The increase in interest expense is primarily due to higher weighted average interest rates during the 2025 period compared to the 2024 period.
Income tax expense.
The decrease in income tax expense is primarily due to a decrease in state tax expense ($268), partially offset by an increase in foreign tax expense ($104) during the 2025 period.
Equity in losses of an investee.
Equity in losses of an investee represents our proportionate share of the losses of Sonesta.
Net loss.
Our net loss and net loss per common share (basic and diluted) each increased in the 2025 period compared to the 2024 period primarily due to the revenue and expense changes discussed above.
Liquidity and Capital Resources (dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)
Our Managers and Tenants
As of March 31, 2025, all 202 of our hotels were managed by four hotel operating companies. Our 739 service-focused retail net lease properties were leased to 175 tenants. The costs of operating and maintaining our properties are generally paid by the hotel managers as agents for us or by our tenants for their own account. Our hotel managers and tenants derive their funding for property operating expenses and for returns and rents due to us generally from property operating revenues and, to the extent these parties themselves fund our owner’s priority returns and rents, from their separate resources. As of March 31, 2025, Sonesta is our largest hotel manager (177 hotels) and TA is our largest tenant (175 travel centers).
We recorded reserves for uncollectable amounts and reduced rental income by $235 and $665 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, based on our assessment of the collectability of rents. We had reserves for uncollectable rents of $4,959 and $5,058 as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, included in other assets, net in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.
We define net lease rent coverage as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and rent, or EBITDAR, divided by the annual minimum rent due to us weighted by the minimum rent of the property to total minimum rents of the net lease portfolio. Tenants with no minimum rent required under the lease are excluded. EBITDAR amounts used to determine rent coverage are generally for the latest twelve-month period, based on the most recent operating information, if any, furnished by our tenants. Operating statements furnished by our tenants often are unaudited and, in certain cases, may not have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and are not independently verified by us. In instances where we do not have tenant financial information, we calculate an implied coverage ratio for the period based on other tenants with available financial statements operating the same brand or within the same industry. As a result, we believe using this implied coverage metric provides a more reasonable estimated representation of recent operating results and the financial condition for those tenants. Our net lease properties generated rent coverage of 2.07x and 2.37x as of March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Our Operating Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our principal sources of funds to meet operating and capital expenses, debt service obligations and distributions to our shareholders are owner’s priority returns from our hotels, rents from our net lease portfolio and borrowings under our revolving credit facility and VFN. We receive owner’s priority returns and rents from our managers and tenants monthly. We may receive additional returns, percentage rents and our share of the operating profits of our managed hotels after payment of management fees and other deductions, if any, either monthly or quarterly, and these amounts are usually subject to annual reconciliations. We believe these sources of funds will be sufficient to meet our operating expenses and capital expenditures, pay debt service obligations and make distributions to our shareholders for the next twelve months and for the foreseeable future thereafter. However, as a result of economic conditions, including if the U.S. enters an economic recession, or otherwise, our managers and tenants may become unable or unwilling to pay owner’s priority returns and rents to us when due, and, as a result, our cash flows and net income would decline.
The following is a summary of our sources and uses of cash flows for the periods presented:

$

$
87,326
The change from cash flow used in operating activities in the 2024 period to cash flow provided by operating activities in the 2025 period is primarily due to lower cash paid for interest in the 2025 period. The decrease in cash flow used in investing activities in the 2025 period is primarily due to higher proceeds from the sale of real estate in the 2025 period and decreased real estate improvements during the 2025 period. The increase in cash flow used in financing activities in the 2025 period is primarily due to higher net borrowings in the 2025 period, partially offset by lower distributions to common shareholders during the 2025 period.
We maintain our qualification for taxation as a REIT under the IRC by meeting certain requirements. We lease 202 hotels to our wholly owned TRSs that are managed by hotel operating companies. As a REIT, we do not expect to pay federal income taxes on the majority of our income; however, the income realized by our TRSs in excess of the rent they pay to us is subject to U.S. federal income tax at corporate income tax rates. In addition, the income we receive from our hotels in Canada and Puerto Rico is subject to taxes in those jurisdictions and we are subject to taxes in certain states where we have properties despite our qualification for taxation as a REIT.
Our Investment and Financing Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our hotel operating agreements generally provide that, if necessary, we may provide our managers with funding for capital improvements to our hotels in excess of amounts otherwise available in escrowed FF&E reserves or when no FF&E reserves are available. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we funded $44,053 for capital improvements in excess of FF&E reserves available to our hotels. We currently expect to fund $210,000 during the last nine months of 2025 for capital improvements to certain hotels using cash on hand and borrowings under our revolving credit facility.
Various percentages of total sales at some of our hotels are escrowed as FF&E reserves to fund future capital improvements. We own all the FF&E escrows for our hotels. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, certain of our hotel managers deposited $971 to these accounts and spent $1,124 from the FF&E reserve escrow accounts to renovate and refurbish our hotels. As of March 31, 2025, there was $5,289 on deposit in these escrow accounts, which was held directly by us and is reflected in our condensed consolidated balance sheets as restricted cash.
Our net lease portfolio leases do not require FF&E escrow deposits and tenants under these leases are generally required to maintain the leased properties, including structural and non-structural components. We may provide tenant improvement allowances to tenants in certain cases or may develop sites with the intent to lease them. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we funded $748 for capital improvements to our net lease properties. As of March 31, 2025, we had $1,382 of unspent leasing-related obligations related to certain of our net lease tenants.
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we sold seven properties for a combined sales price of $22,700, excluding closing costs. From April 1, 2025 through May 2, 2025, we sold one net lease property with 2,053 square feet for a sales price of $365, excluding closing costs. We have also entered into agreements to sell four hotels with a total of 492 keys for a combined sales price of $26,500, excluding closing costs, and one net lease property with 1,122 square feet for a sales price of $395, excluding closing costs. These pending sales are subject to conditions; accordingly, we cannot be sure that we will complete these sales, that these sales will not be delayed or that the terms will not change. We are at various stages of selling 115 hotels with a total of 15,420 keys and six net lease properties with a total of 80,249 square feet for sale. We believe it is probable that the sales of these properties will be completed within one year. We expect to use the net sales proceeds from these sales for general business purposes, including to repay debt.
From April 1, 2025 through May 2, 2025, we acquired three net lease properties with a total of 18,218 square feet for a combined purchase price of $12,597, excluding closing costs. We have also entered into agreements to acquire six net lease properties with a total of 69,236 square feet for a combined purchase price of $20,734, excluding closing costs. These pending acquisitions are subject to conditions; accordingly, we cannot be sure that we will complete these acquisitions, that these acquisitions will not be delayed or that the terms will not change.
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we declared and paid a regular quarterly distribution to common shareholders using cash on hand as follows:

On April 10, 2025, we declared a regular quarterly distribution to common shareholders of record as of April 22, 2025 of $0.01 per common share, or approximately $1,666. We expect to pay this distribution on or about May 15, 2025 using cash on hand.
In order to meet cash needs that may result from our desire or need to make distributions or pay operating or capital expenses, we maintain a $650,000 secured revolving credit facility which is governed by a credit agreement. This revolving credit facility is available for general business purposes, including acquisitions. We can borrow, repay and reborrow funds available under our revolving credit facility until maturity and no principal repayments are due until maturity. Availability of borrowings under our credit agreement is subject to ongoing minimum performance and market values of the collateral properties, satisfying certain financial covenants and other credit facility conditions. The maturity date of our revolving credit facility is June 29, 2027, and, subject to the payment of an extension fee and meeting certain other conditions, we have an option to further extend the stated maturity date of the facility by two additional six-month periods.
Interest payable on drawings under our revolving credit facility is based on SOFR plus a margin ranging from 1.50% to 3.00% based on our leverage ratio, as defined in our credit agreement, which was 2.50% as of March 31, 2025. We also pay unused commitment fees of 20 to 30 basis points per annum on the total amount of lending commitments under our revolving credit facility based on amounts outstanding. As of March 31, 2025 and 2024, the annual interest rate payable on borrowings under our revolving credit facility was 6.91% and 7.84%, respectively. As of both March 31, 2025 and May 2, 2025, we had $50,000 outstanding under our revolving credit facility and $600,000 available for borrowings.
As collateral for all loans and other obligations under the credit facility, certain of our subsidiaries pledged all of their respective equity interests in certain of our direct and indirect property owning subsidiaries, and our pledged subsidiaries provided first mortgage liens on 67 properties, including 64 hotels and three net lease properties, with an aggregate undepreciated book value of $1,691,230 as of March 31, 2025. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we sold two hotels that previously served as collateral under our revolving credit facility. In connection with the sales of these hotels, the hotels were released from the collateral pool in accordance with the terms of our revolving credit facility.
In February 2025, we and our lenders amended the agreement governing our revolving credit facility to reduce the required debt service coverage ratio covenant from 1.50 times to 1.30 times effective with respect to the fourth quarter of 2024 and continuing through the end of the loan term. In order to exercise the first extension option, we are required to maintain a 1.50 times debt service coverage level as of and for the duration of the extension period. We also agreed to change the required collateral property debt yield to 10% effective with respect to the first quarter of 2025 and continuing through the end of the loan term and to swap collateral properties as follows: 47 hotels with an aggregate of 7,981 keys and an aggregate undepreciated book value of $1,375,449 will be released from the collateral pool and 35 travel centers leased to TA, which travel centers we refer to as our TA No. 5 lease, with an aggregate undepreciated book value of $598,908, will be added as collateral to our revolving credit facility. Of the hotels being released from the collateral pool, 36 hotels with an aggregate of 4,862 keys and an aggregate undepreciated book value of $655,514 are part of our hotel disposition plan. The corresponding equity pledges will be swapped as well. We expect to complete this collateral swap by the end of the second quarter of 2025.
Net Lease Mortgage Notes
On January 27, 2025, the Issuer issued a variable funding note secured by the 315 net lease properties that secure our existing $606,122 of net lease mortgage notes. The VFN permits borrowings on a revolving basis up to $45,000 and the Issuer can borrow, repay and reborrow funds available until maturity. The maturity date of the VFN is January 27, 2027, and, subject to the payment of an extension fee and meeting certain other conditions, can be extended by one year at the Issuer’s option. The VFN requires interest payments only on drawings under the VFN based on SOFR plus a margin of 1.75%, and an unused commitment fee of 50 basis points per annum paid on undrawn amounts. As of March 31, 2025, the annual interest rate payable on borrowings under the VFN was 6.16%. As of March 31, 2025, $45,000 was outstanding under the VFN.
Our debt maturities (other than our revolving credit facility and VFN) as of March 31, 2025 were as follows:

None of our senior note debt obligations require principal or sinking fund payments prior to their maturity dates. Our mortgage notes require monthly principal payments as described in Part I, Item 3 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
We currently expect to use cash on hand, the cash flows from our operations, borrowings under our revolving credit facility or VFN, net proceeds from any asset sales and net proceeds of offerings of equity or the incurrence of debt to fund our operations, capital expenditures, investments, future debt maturities, distributions to our shareholders and other general business purposes.
When significant amounts are outstanding for an extended period of time under our revolving credit facility, or the maturities of our indebtedness approach, we currently expect to explore refinancing alternatives. Such alternatives may include incurring additional debt, issuing new equity securities and the sale of properties. We have an effective shelf registration statement that allows us to issue public securities on an expedited basis, but it does not assure that there will be buyers for such securities. We may also seek to participate in joint ventures or other arrangements that may provide us additional sources of financing. We may also assume mortgage debt on properties we may acquire or obtain mortgage financing on our existing properties.
While we believe we will generally have access to various types of financings, including debt or equity, to fund our future acquisitions and to pay our debts and other obligations, we cannot be sure that we will be able to complete any debt or equity offerings or other types of financings or that our cost of any future public or private financings will not increase.
Our ability to complete, and the costs associated with, future debt transactions depend primarily upon credit market conditions and our then perceived creditworthiness. We have no control over market conditions. Our credit ratings depend upon evaluations by credit rating agencies of our business practices and plans, including our ability to maintain our earnings, to stagger our debt maturities and to balance our use of debt and equity capital so that our financial performance and leverage ratios afford us flexibility to withstand any reasonably anticipated adverse changes. Similarly, our ability to raise equity capital in the future will depend primarily upon equity capital market conditions and our ability to conduct our business to maintain and grow our operating cash flows. We intend to conduct our business activities in a manner which will afford us reasonable access to capital for investment and financing activities. However, as discussed elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the impacts of the current, and possibly future, inflationary conditions, uncertainties surrounding interest rates and a possible economic recession are uncertain and may have various negative consequences on us and our operations, including a decline in financing availability and increased costs for financing. Further, such conditions could also disrupt the capital markets generally and limit our access to financing from public sources or on favorable terms, particularly if the global financial markets experience significant disruptions.
Debt Covenants
Our debt obligations at March 31, 2025 consisted of $50,000 of borrowings outstanding under our $650,000 revolving credit facility, $5,075,000 aggregate principal amounts of senior notes, $606,122 aggregate principal amounts of mortgage notes and $45,000 of borrowings outstanding under the VFN. For further information regarding our indebtedness, see Note 8 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Our publicly and privately issued senior notes are governed by our indentures and related supplements. These indentures and related supplements and our credit agreement contain covenants that generally restrict our ability to incur debts, including debts secured by mortgages on our properties, in excess of calculated amounts, and require us to maintain various financial ratios. Our credit agreement, net lease mortgage notes, secured senior notes and unsecured senior notes, indentures and their supplements provide for acceleration of payment of all amounts outstanding upon the occurrence and continuation of certain events of default, such as, in the case of our credit agreement, a change of control of us, which includes RMR ceasing to act as our business manager. As of March 31, 2025, we believe we were in compliance with all of the covenants under our indentures and their supplements, net lease mortgage notes and our credit agreement.
Senior Notes Indenture Covenants
The following table summarizes the results of the financial tests required by the indentures and related supplements for our senior secured and unsecured notes as of March 31, 2025:

As of March 31, 2025, adjusted total assets for covenant purposes as defined in our senior notes indentures were $10,462,373 and assets encumbered under our revolving credit facility, serving as collateral for our net lease mortgage notes or secured senior notes represented $3,466,968 of adjusted total assets, as defined in our senior notes indentures. Our unencumbered hotels, travel centers, other net lease properties and other corporate assets represent $4,389,459, $1,579,070, $819,950 and $206,926 of adjusted total assets, respectively.
The following table presents the calculation of adjusted total assets to total assets in accordance with GAAP:

(228,264)
Adjusted total assets
$
10,462,373
(1)
Includes $875,222 of accumulated depreciation on assets of properties held for sale.
Our ability to incur additional debt is subject to meeting the required covenant levels and subject to the provisions of our credit agreement and senior notes indentures.
Acceleration and Cross-Default
Our indentures and their supplements contain cross default provisions to any other debt of $50,000 or more. Similarly, our credit agreement has cross default provisions to other indebtedness that is recourse of $25,000 or more and indebtedness that is non-recourse of $75,000 or more. Neither our indentures and their supplements nor our credit agreement contain provisions for acceleration which could be triggered by a change in our debt ratings.
Supplemental Guarantor Information
Our 5.50% Senior Notes due 2027, or the 2027 Notes, our 8.375% Senior Guaranteed Unsecured Notes due 2029, or the 2029 Notes, and our 8.875% Senior Guaranteed Unsecured Notes due 2032, or the 2032 Notes, are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, on a joint and several basis and on a senior unsecured basis, by all of our subsidiaries, except for certain excluded subsidiaries, including our foreign subsidiaries and our subsidiaries pledged under our credit agreement and our net lease mortgage notes. The notes and the guarantees will be effectively subordinated to all of our and the subsidiary guarantors’ secured indebtedness, respectively, to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such secured indebtedness, and will be structurally subordinated to all indebtedness and other liabilities and any preferred equity of any of our subsidiaries that do not guarantee the notes. Our remaining $2,425,000 of senior unsecured notes do not have the benefit of any guarantees.
A subsidiary guarantor’s guarantee of the 2027 Notes, the 2029 Notes and the 2032 Notes and all other obligations of such subsidiary guarantor under the indentures governing the notes will automatically terminate and such subsidiary guarantor will automatically be released from all of its obligations under such subsidiary guarantee and such indenture under certain circumstances, including on or after the date on which (a) the notes have received a rating equal to or higher than Baa2 (or the equivalent) by Moody’s Investor Services, or Moody’s, and BBB (or the equivalent) by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services, or S&P, or if Moody’s or S&P ceases to rate the notes for reasons outside of our control, the equivalent investment grade rating from any other rating agency and (b) no default or event of default has occurred and is continuing under the indenture. Our non-guarantor subsidiaries are separate and distinct legal entities and will have no obligation, contingent or otherwise, to pay any amounts due on these notes or the guarantees, or to make any funds available therefor, whether by dividend, distribution, loan or other payments. The rights of holders of these notes to benefit from any of the assets of our non-guarantor subsidiaries are subject to the prior satisfaction of claims of those subsidiaries’ creditors and any preferred equity holders. As a result, these notes and the related guarantees will be effectively subordinated to all of our and the subsidiary guarantors’ secured indebtedness, respectively, to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such secured indebtedness, and will be structurally subordinated to all indebtedness and other liabilities of our subsidiaries that do not guarantee these notes, including guarantees of or pledges under other indebtedness of ours, payment obligations under lease agreements, trade payables and preferred equity.
The following table presents summarized financial information for us and the subsidiary guarantors, on a combined basis, after elimination of (i) intercompany transactions and balances among us and the subsidiary guarantors, and (ii) equity in earnings from, and any investments in, any of our non-guarantor subsidiaries:
(1)
Real estate properties, net as of March 31, 2025 includes $138,986 of properties owned directly by us and not included in the assets of the subsidiary guarantors.
(2)
Intercompany balances represent payables to non-guarantor subsidiaries.
Related Person Transactions
We have relationships and historical and continuing transactions with RMR, RMR Inc. and Sonesta and others related to them. For further information about these and other such relationships and related person transactions, see Notes 6, 10 and 11 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our 2024 Annual Report, our definitive Proxy Statement for our 2025 Annual Meeting of Shareholders and our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC. In addition, see the section captioned “Risk Factors” in our 2024 Annual Report for a description of risks that may arise as a result of these and other related person transactions and relationships. We may engage in additional transactions with related persons, including businesses to which RMR or its subsidiaries provide management services.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates in the condensed consolidated financial statements include consolidation of VIEs, purchase price allocations, the determination of useful lives of fixed assets, classification of leases, and the assessment of the book values and impairment of real estate intangible assets and equity investments.
A discussion of our critical accounting estimates is included in our 2024 Annual Report. There have been no significant changes in our critical accounting estimates since the year ended December 31, 2024.
Property and Operating Statistics (dollars in thousands, except hotel statistics)

We define comparable hotels as those that were owned by us and were open and operating for the entirety of the periods being compared. For each of the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, our comparable results exclude one hotel that suspended operations during the periods presented.
*
Includes results of all hotels owned as of March 31, 2025. Excludes the results of hotels sold during the periods presented. Retained Hotels represents 59 hotels managed by Sonesta, 17 hotels managed by Hyatt, and seven hotels managed by Radisson that we will continue to own after the Exit Hotels are sold. Exit Hotels represent 118 hotels managed by Sonesta and one hotel managed by IHG that we plan to sell.
Net Lease Portfolio
As of March 31, 2025, our net lease properties were 97.8% occupied and we had 16 properties available for lease. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we entered into lease renewals for 31,607 rentable square feet (four properties) at weighted (by rentable square feet) average rents that were 18.0% above the prior rents for the same space. The weighted (by rentable square feet) average lease term for these leases was 6.0 years. We also entered into new leases for 1,685 rentable square feet (one property) at rent that was 15.7% above the prior rent for the same space. The lease term for this new lease was 3.0 years.
Generally, lease agreements with our net lease tenants require payment of minimum rent to us. Certain of these minimum rent payment amounts are secured by full or limited guarantees. Annualized minimum rent represents cash amounts and excludes adjustments, if any, necessary to record scheduled rent changes on a straight line basis or any expense reimbursement. Annualized minimum rent excludes the impact of rents prepaid by TA.
As of March 31, 2025, our net lease tenants operated across 136 brands. The following table identifies the top ten brands based on annualized minimum rent:

TA is our largest tenant. As of March 31, 2025, we leased 175 travel centers (131 under the TravelCenters of America brand and 44 under the Petro Stopping Centers brand) to a subsidiary of TA under
five
master leases that expire in
2033

The year of lease expiration is pursuant to contract terms.
As of March 31, 2025, shown below is the list of our top ten states where our net lease properties are located. No other state represents more than 3% of our net lease annualized minimum rents.
We present certain “non-GAAP financial measures” within the meaning of the applicable SEC rules, including funds from operations, or FFO, and normalized funds from operations, or Normalized FFO. These measures do not represent cash generated by operating activities in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered alternatives to net income (loss) as indicators of our operating performance or as measures of our liquidity. These measures should be considered in conjunction with net income (loss) as presented in our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss). We consider these non-GAAP measures to be appropriate supplemental measures of operating performance for a REIT, along with net income (loss). We believe these measures provide useful information to investors because by excluding the effects of certain historical amounts, such as depreciation and amortization expense, they may facilitate a comparison of our operating performance between periods and with other REITs.
Funds From Operations and Normalized Funds From Operations
We calculate FFO and Normalized FFO as shown below. FFO is calculated on the basis defined by The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, which is net income (loss), calculated in accordance with GAAP, excluding any gain or loss on sale of real estate and loss on impairment of real estate assets, if any, plus real estate depreciation and amortization, as well as adjustments to reflect our share of FFO attributable to an investee and certain other adjustments currently not applicable to us. In calculating Normalized FFO, we adjust for the items shown below. FFO and Normalized FFO are among the factors considered by our Board of Trustees when determining the amount of distributions to our shareholders. Other factors include, but are not limited to, requirements to satisfy our REIT distribution requirements, limitations in our debt agreements, the availability to us of debt and equity capital, our distribution rate as a percentage of the trading price of our common shares, or dividend yield, and our dividend yield to the dividend yields of other REITs, our expectation of our future capital requirements and operating performance and our expected needs for and availability of cash to pay our obligations. Other real estate companies and REITs may calculate FFO and Normalized FFO differently than we do.
Our calculations of FFO and Normalized FFO for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 and reconciliations of net loss, the most directly comparable financial measure under GAAP reported in our condensed consolidated financial statements, to those amounts appear in the following table (amounts in thousands, except per share amounts):

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk (dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)
We are exposed to risks associated with market changes in interest rates. We manage our exposure to this market risk by monitoring available financing alternatives. Our strategy to manage exposure to changes in interest rates has not materially changed since December 31, 2024. Other than as described below, we do not currently foresee any significant changes in our exposure to fluctuations in interest rates or in how we manage this exposure in the near future.

No principal repayments are due under our unsecured or secured senior notes until maturity. Our net lease mortgage notes require principal and interest payments through maturity pursuant to amortization schedules. Because these notes require interest at fixed rates, changes in market interest rates during the term of these debts will not affect our interest obligations. If these notes were refinanced at interest rates which are one percentage point higher than the rates shown above, our per annum interest cost would increase by approximately $56,811. Changes in market interest rates would affect the fair value of our fixed rate debt obligations; increases in market interest rates decrease the fair value of our fixed rate debt while decreases in market interest rates increase the fair value of our fixed rate debt. Based on the balances outstanding at March 31, 2025 and discounted cash flows analyses through the respective maturity dates, and assuming no other changes in factors that may affect the fair value of our fixed rate debt obligations, a hypothetical immediate one percentage point change in interest rates would change the fair value of those debt obligations by approximately $180,112.
Our fixed rate debt arrangements may allow us to make repayments earlier than the stated maturity date. In some cases, we are not allowed to make early repayment prior to a cutoff date and we are generally allowed to make prepayments only at a premium equal to a make whole amount, as defined, which is generally designed to preserve a stated yield to the noteholder. Also, we have in the past repurchased and retired some of our outstanding debts and we may do so again in the future. These prepayment rights and our ability to repurchase and retire outstanding debt may afford us opportunities to mitigate the risks of refinancing our debts at their maturities at higher rates by refinancing prior to maturity.
Floating Rate Debt
As of March 31, 2025, our floating rate debt consisted of $50,000 outstanding under our $650,000 revolving credit facility and $45,000 outstanding under the VFN. The maturity date of our revolving credit facility is June 29, 2027, and, subject to our meeting certain conditions, including our payment of an extension fee, we have an option to extend the stated maturity date of the facility by two six-month periods. The maturity date of the VFN is January 27, 2027, and, subject to the payment of an extension fee and meeting certain other conditions, can be extended by one year. No principal repayments are required under our revolving credit facility or the VFN prior to maturity and repayments may be made and redrawn subject to conditions at any time without penalty.
Borrowings under our revolving credit facility and the VFN are in U.S. dollars and require interest to be paid at a rate of SOFR plus premiums. Accordingly, we are vulnerable to changes in U.S. dollar based short term interest rates, specifically SOFR. In addition, upon renewal or refinancing of our revolving credit facility and the VFN, we are vulnerable to increases in interest rate premiums due to market conditions or our perceived credit characteristics. Generally, a change in interest rates would not affect the value of this floating rate debt but would affect our operating results.
The following table presents the impact a one percentage point increase in interest rates would have on our annual floating rate interest expense at March 31, 2025:

The foregoing tables show the impact of an immediate change in floating interest rates as of March 31, 2025. If interest rates were to change gradually over time, the impact would be spread over time. Our exposure to fluctuations in floating interest rates will increase or decrease in the future with increases or decreases in the outstanding amounts under our revolving credit facility, the VFN or other floating rate debt, if any. Although we have no present plans to do so, we may in the future enter into hedge arrangements from time to time to mitigate our exposure to changes in interest rates.
