Hurricanes, earthquakes, tsunamis, tornadoes, droughts, wildfires, and other man-made or natural disasters, as well as the spread or fear of the spread of contagious diseases in locations where we own significant properties and from which we draw a large number of guests, could cause a decline in the level of business and leisure travel in certain regions or as a whole and reduce the demand for lodging, which may adversely affect our financial condition and operating performance. The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in significant disruption and additional risks to our business, the lodging, hospitality, and travel industries, and the global economy. While our business has recovered compared to pre-COVID-19 pandemic results in 2019, potential concerns about public health either related to COVID-19 or otherwise may impact travel demand and consumer confidence in the future. Actual or threatened war, terrorist activity, political unrest, civil strife, and other geopolitical uncertainty could have a similar effect on our financial condition or our growth strategy. Any one or more of these events may reduce the overall demand for hotel rooms or limit the prices we can obtain for them, both of which could adversely affect our profits and financial results.

In our portfolio, 23 of the 32 hotels that we owned as of December 31, 2023 operate under brands owned by Marriott and Hyatt. As a result, our success is dependent in part on the continued success of Marriott and Hyatt and their respective brands. We believe that brands help to drive demand and increase guest loyalty. Consequently, if market recognition or the positive perception of Marriott and/or Hyatt brands is reduced or compromised, the goodwill associated with the Marriott and/or Hyatt branded hotels in our portfolio may be adversely affected. Furthermore, if our relationship with Marriott and/or Hyatt were to deteriorate or terminate as a result of disputes regarding the management of our hotels or for other reasons, Marriott and/or Hyatt could, under certain circumstances, terminate our current franchise licenses with them or decline to provide franchise licenses for hotels that we may acquire in the future. If any of the foregoing were to occur, it could materially and adversely affect our results of operations and profitability as well as limit or slow our future growth and impair our ability to compete effectively.

We have a concentration of hotels in Texas, California and Florida. Specifically, as of December 31, 2023, approximately 23%, 20%, and 12% of rooms in our portfolio were located in Texas, California and Florida, respectively. The concentration of hotels in a certain region may expose us to risks of adverse legislation or economic developments, such as unfavorable treatment from state authorities, negative trends in the industry sectors that are concentrated in these markets and more severe restrictions related to health and safety measures, that are greater than if our portfolio were more geographically diverse. These economic developments include regional economic downturns, significant increases in the number of competitive hotels in these markets and potentially higher local property, sales and income taxes in the geographic markets and jurisdictions in which we are concentrated. In addition, our hotels may be subject to the effects of adverse acts of nature, such as winter storms, hailstorms, strong winds, tropical storms, hurricanes, wildfires, earthquakes, tornadoes, and tsunamis which have in the past caused flooding and other property damage to our hotels in specific geographic locations, including in the Texas, California and Florida markets. Some of these acts of nature may become more frequent and more severe due to the effects of climate change. Depending on the severity of these acts of nature, the damage to our hotels could require closure of all or substantially all of our hotels in one or more markets for a period of time while the necessary repairs and renovations, as applicable, are undertaken, and/or long-term power outages are resolved. Additionally, we cannot assure you that the amount of hurricane, windstorm, earthquake, flood or other casualty insurance maintained for these hotels from time to time would entirely cover damages caused by any such event. As a result of this geographic concentration of hotels, we will face a greater risk of a negative impact on our revenues in the event these areas are more severely impacted by adverse economic and competitive conditions and adverse acts of nature than other areas in the United States.

A key element of our business strategy is to invest in uniquely positioned luxury and upper upscale hotels and resorts with a focus on the top 25 lodging markets as well as key leisure destinations in the United States. We can provide no assurances that we will be successful in identifying attractive hotels or that, once identified, we will be successful in consummating an acquisition. We face significant competition for attractive investment opportunities from other well-capitalized investors, some of which have greater financial resources and greater access to debt and equity capital to acquire hotels than we do. This competition increases as investments in real estate become increasingly attractive relative to other forms of investment. As a result of such competition, we may be unable to acquire certain hotels that we deem attractive, or the purchase price may be significantly elevated or other terms may be substantially more onerous. In addition, we expect to finance future acquisitions through a combination of borrowings under our revolving line of credit and corporate credit facility term loans, our mortgage loans, the use of retained cash flows and offerings of equity and debt securities, which may not be available on advantageous terms, or at all. Any delay or failure on our part to identify, negotiate, finance on favorable terms, consummate and integrate such acquisitions could materially impede our growth.

We lease the land underlying three of our hotels and/or meeting facilities from third-parties as of December 31, 2023. Two of these hotels are subject to ground leases that cover all of the land underlying the respective hotel, and the third is subject to a ground lease that covers a portion of the land. Accordingly, we only own a long-term leasehold or similar interest in all or a portion of these three hotels. The average remaining term of the ground leases, assuming no renewal options are exercised, is approximately 35 years. Assuming all renewal options are exercised, the average remaining term is 68 years. If we are found to be in breach of a ground lease, we could lose the right to use the hotel. In addition, unless we can purchase a fee interest in the underlying land and improvements or extend the terms of these leases before their expiration, as to which no assurance can be given, we will lose our right to operate these properties and our interest in the improvements upon expiration of the leases. Our ability to exercise any extension options relating to our ground leases is subject to the condition that we are not in default under the terms of the ground lease at the time that we exercise such options, and we can provide no assurances that we will be able to exercise any available options at such time. Furthermore, we can provide no assurances that we will be able to renew any ground lease upon its expiration. If we were to lose the right to use a hotel due to a breach or non-renewal of the ground lease, we would be unable to derive income from such hotel, which may materially and adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

Ownership of hotels is a capital intensive business that requires significant capital expenditures to operate, maintain and renovate properties. Access to the capital that we need to maintain and renovate existing properties and to acquire new properties is critical to the continued growth of our business and revenues and to remain competitive. We may not be able to fund capital improvements for our existing hotels or acquisitions of new hotels solely from cash provided from our operating activities because we must distribute annually at least 90% of our REIT taxable income to maintain our qualification as a REIT and we are subject to tax on any retained income and gains. As a result, our ability to fund capital expenditures or hotel redevelopment through retained earnings may be restricted. Consequently, we may have to draw down on our revolving line of credit, enter into new loans or rely upon the availability of new financing arrangements or equity capital to fund capital improvements. Our ability to access additional capital could also be limited by the terms of our corporate credit facilities and the indentures governing the Senior Notes, which restricts our ability to incur debt under certain circumstances.

The credit agreement governing our revolving line of credit and our corporate credit facility term loans as well as the indentures governing our Senior Notes contain customary covenants with which we must comply, which limit the discretion of management with respect to certain business matters. These covenants place restrictions on, among other things, our ability to incur additional indebtedness, incur liens on assets, enter into new types of businesses, engage in mergers, liquidations or consolidations, sell assets, make restricted payments (including the payment of dividends and other distributions), enter into negative pledges or limitations on the ability of subsidiaries to make certain distributions or to guarantee the indebtedness under the credit agreements, engage in certain transactions with affiliates, enter into sale and leaseback transactions, make investments and capital expenditures, acquire real estate assets, enter into speculative hedging transactions, change our fiscal year and make certain payments and prepayments with respect to subordinated debt. The credit agreements also contain financial covenants relating to our maximum total leverage ratio, maximum secured leverage ratio, maximum secured recourse leverage ratio, minimum fixed charge coverage ratio, minimum consolidated tangible net worth, minimum unsecured interest coverage ratio, maximum unencumbered leverage ratio, and set a minimum number of unencumbered properties we must own and a minimum value for such unencumbered properties. Any other credit facility or other loans that we enter into may place additional restrictions on us and may require us to meet certain financial ratios and tests. Our continued ability to borrow under the revolving line of credit and any other credit facility that we may obtain will be subject to compliance with these covenants and our ability to meet these covenants will be adversely affected if U.S. lodging fundamentals do not continue to improve when and to the extent that we expect. In addition, our failure to comply with these covenants, as well as our inability to make required payments under the credit agreements or any future debt agreement, could cause an event of default under the credit agreements, which, if not waived, could result in the termination of the financing commitments under the credit agreement governing our revolving line of credit and corporate credit facility term loans and the acceleration of the maturity of the outstanding indebtedness thereunder, or could cause an event of default under such future debt agreement, which could result in the acceleration of the debt and require us to repay such debt with capital obtained from other sources, which may not be available to us or may be available only on unattractive terms. Furthermore, if we default on property-level secured debt, lenders can take possession of the hotel or hotels securing such debt.

We have borrowed money, some of which bears interest at variable rates, and therefore are exposed to increases in costs in a rising interest rate environment. Increases in interest rates increase our interest expense on any variable rate debt, as well as any debt that must be refinanced at higher interest rates at the time of maturity. Our future earnings and cash flows could be adversely affected due to the increased requirement to service our indebtedness and could reduce the amount we are able to distribute to our stockholders. As of December 31, 2023, approximately $280.0 million, or 20%, of our total debt outstanding, bore interest at variable rates which was hedged by interest rate protection agreements.

We may distribute taxable dividends that are payable in cash and common stock at the election of each stockholder. If we made a taxable dividend payable in cash and common stock, taxable stockholders receiving such dividends will be required to include the full amount of the dividend as ordinary income to the extent of our current and accumulated earnings and profits, as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As a result, stockholders may be required to pay income tax with respect to such dividends in excess of the cash dividends received. If a U.S. stockholder sells the common stock that it receives as a dividend in order to pay this tax, the sales proceeds may be less than the amount included in income with respect to the dividend, depending on the market price of our common stock at the time of the sale.

A large volume of issuances or sales of shares of our common stock could decrease the market price of our common stock and could impair our ability to raise additional capital through the sale of equity securities in the future. Even if a substantial number of issuances or sales of shares of our common stock are not affected, the mere perception of the possibility of these sales could depress the market price of our common stock and have a negative effect on our ability to raise capital in the future. In addition, anticipated downward pressure on our common stock price due to actual or anticipated issuances or sales of common stock could cause some institutions or individuals to engage in short sales of our common stock, which may itself cause the price of our common stock to decline. In addition, future issuances of shares of our common stock may be dilutive to existing stockholders.

Climate change may also affect our business by increasing the cost of (or making unavailable) property insurance on terms we find acceptable in areas most vulnerable to such events, increasing operating costs at our hotel properties, such as the cost of water or energy, and requiring us to expend funds as we seek to repair and protect our hotel properties against such risks. There can be no assurance that climate change will not have a material adverse effect on our hotel properties, operations or business. To the extent climate change causes changes in weather patterns, our coastal markets could also experience increases in storm frequency and/or intensity and rising sea-levels causing damage to our hotel properties. As a result, we could become subject to significant losses, litigation and/or repair costs that may not be fully covered by insurance. Other markets may experience prolonged variations in temperature or precipitation that limit access to the water needed to operate our hotel properties or significantly increase energy costs, which may subject those properties to additional regulatory burdens, such as limitations on water usage or stricter energy efficiency standards or limitations on energy usage. Climate change may result in increased energy and water costs and may also change the comparative attractiveness of certain travel locations or result in people migrating from certain locations to other locations. As a result, some of our hotel properties may be more or less in demand in the future.
