Current report

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.

Current report

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.

Current report

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.

Current report

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 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.

Previous report

On October 16, 2024, we announced our plan to sell 114 focused service hotels managed by Sonesta with an aggregate of 14,925 keys and a net carrying value of $850,000. We expect to sell these hotels in 2025 and use the net sales proceeds from these sales to repay debt. We expect that the sales of these hotels will result in savings of approximately $725,000 in capital expenditures, which was projected to be spent over a six year period. To further improve our liquidity beginning with the fourth quarter of 2024, we reduced our regular quarterly cash distribution on our common shares from $0.20 per common share to $0.01 per common share, which we expect to result in $127,000 of annual savings.

Previous report

Previous report

Availability under our revolving credit facility is partially based on the performance of the properties serving as collateral under the facility. Based on recent and near term expectations of performance of certain of the collateral properties, we and our lenders amended the credit facility in October 2024 to temporarily reduce the required collateral property debt yield from 12% to 8.5% from September 30, 2024 through December 31, 2024, and increase the required collateral property debt yield to 9.5% for the quarter ending March 31, 2025; 10% for the quarter ending June 30, 2025; 11% for the quarter ending September 30, 2025; and 12% for the quarter ending December 31, 2025 and thereafter. Subject to meeting these revised collateral property debt yield levels and meeting other conditions, we currently have full access to undrawn amounts under our revolving credit facility.

Previous report

In June 2024, we issued$700,000 aggregate principal amount of the 2029 Notes and$500,000 aggregate principal amount of the 2032 Notes in underwritten public offerings. The aggregate net proceeds from these offerings were $1,162,077, after underwriting discounts and other offering expenses. These 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 our foreign subsidiaries and certain other excluded subsidiaries. Such other excluded subsidiaries include, but are not limited to, subsidiaries whose equity has been pledged to secure borrowings under our credit agreement and our 8.625% senior secured notes due 2031 and subsidiaries whose assets secure our net lease mortgage notes. We used the net proceeds from the issuance of these notes and cash on hand to redeem all of our outstanding 7.50% senior unsecured notes due 2025 and purchase and satisfy and discharge all of our outstanding 4.50% senior unsecured notes due 2025.

Previous wording

Consumer confidence, corporate travel and lodging demand will continue to be affected by economic and market conditions, inflationary pressures, including high 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. 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 have also been implementing a significant renovation plan that has caused disruption at certain of our hotels.

Current wording

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.

Hotel Portfolio. As of September 30, 2024, we owned 214 hotels. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the U.S. hotel industry generally realized increases in revenue per available room, or RevPAR, and average daily rate, or ADR, compared to the same periods in 2023. Our comparable hotels produced year over year declines in RevPAR, which we believe is partially a result of disruption and displacement at certain of our hotels undergoing renovation and decreased business activity in areas where some of our hotels are located. 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.

We define net lease 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 coverage of 2.16x and 2.72x as of September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Previous wording

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. 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 and 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.

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.

Previous wording

The decrease in cash flow provided by operating activities in the 2024 period is primarily due to $188,000 of prepaid rent received from TA in the 2023 period, higher interest expense and lower hotel returns in the 2024 period. The change from cash flow provided by investing activities in the 2023 period to cash flow used in investing activities in the 2024 period is primarily due to proceeds from the sale of TA common shares and higher proceeds from the sale of real estate in the 2023 period and increased real estate improvements during the 2024 period. The increase in cash flow used in financing activities in the 2024 period is primarily due to higher net borrowings in the 2023 period.

Current wording

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.

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, increasing or sustained high 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.
