HIGHLIGHTS:

  • Revenue and RevPAR.  Room revenue per available room (“RevPAR”) for the Company’s composite portfolio, which includes the Hyatt Centric Arlington and the rooms participating in our rental program at the Hyde Resort & Residences, during the three-month period ending June 30, 2019, increased 4.0% over the three months ended June 30, 2018, to $128.05 reflecting a 0.9% increase in occupancy and a 3.0% increase in average daily rate (“ADR”). For the six-month period ending June 30, 2019, RevPAR increased 6.1% over the six months ended June 30, 2018, to $124.97 driven by a 2.7% increase in occupancy and a 3.3% increase in ADR.  For the three-month period ending June 30, 2019, total revenue decreased 0.02% over the three-month period ending June 30, 2018.  For the six-month period ending June 30, 2019, total revenue increased 6.0% or by approximately $5.6 million to approximately $98.9 million, as compared to approximately $93.3 million for the six-month period ending June 30, 2018. 
  • Common Dividends. On July 30, 2019, the Company announced a quarterly dividend (distribution) on its common stock (and units) of $0.13 per share (and unit) to stockholders (and unitholders) of record as of September 13, 2019, payable on October 11, 2019.
  • Hotel EBITDA. The Company generated hotel EBITDA of approximately $15.6 million during the three-month period ending June 30, 2019.  Hotel EBITDA decreased 4.9%, or approximately $0.8 million, over the three months ended June 30, 2018.  For the six-month period ending June 30, 2019, hotel EBITDA increased 1.7%, or approximately $0.5 million, over the six months ended June 30, 2018. 
  • Adjusted FFO available to common stockholders and unitholders. For the three-month period ending June 30, 2019, adjusted FFO available to common stockholders and unitholders decreased 14.1% from the three months ended June 30, 2018.  For the six-month period ending June 30, 2019, adjusted FFO available to common stockholders and unitholders decreased 8.7% or approximately $1.1 million over the six months ended June 30, 2018.

Andrew M. Sims, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Sotherly Hotels Inc., commented, “The Company experienced results in line with our expectations for the quarter.  Composite RevPAR increased approximately 4.0% for the quarter as compared to the prior year, resulting in six-month RevPAR increasing approximately 6.1% as compared to the prior year.  Hotel EBITDA and adjusted FFO were both lower for the quarter as compared to the same period in 2018, but these results were impacted by non-recurring events, including a large insurance claim settlement that was recorded in the second quarter of 2018, and the Easter holiday moving from the first quarter last year to the second quarter this year.  Hotel EBITDA results for the first half of the year were in line with our expectations.  After completing the second quarter, we continue to stand by our guidance for the year.”

Balance Sheet/Liquidity

At June 30, 2019, the Company had approximately $37.3 million of available cash and cash equivalents, of which approximately $4.9 million was reserved for real estate taxes, insurance, capital improvements and certain other expenses or otherwise restricted. The Company had principal balances of approximately $364.7 million in outstanding debt at a weighted average interest rate of approximately 4.98%.

On April 18, 2019, the Company closed a sale and issuance of 1,080,000 shares of its 8.25% Series D cumulative redeemable perpetual preferred stock (the “Series D Preferred Stock”), for total gross proceeds of $27.0 million before underwriting discounts and commissions and expenses payable by the Company.  On May 1, 2019, the Company closed a sale and issuance of an additional 120,000 shares of its Series D Preferred Stock, for gross proceeds of $3.0 million, in connection with the partial exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares.  We used the net proceeds to redeem in full the Operating Partnership’s 7.25% Senior Unsecured Notes due 2021 (the “7.25% Notes”) and for working capital.

On April 26, 2019, we entered into amended loan documents to modify the existing mortgage loan on the Crowne Plaza Tampa Westshore with the existing lender, Fifth Third Bank.  Pursuant to the amended loan documents, the mortgage loan principal balance remained at approximately $18.2 million; the maturity date was extended to June 30, 2022, and may be extended for two additional periods of one year each, subject to certain conditions; the mortgage loan continues to bear a floating interest rate of 1-month LIBOR plus 3.75% subject to a floor rate of 3.75%, with a new provision to reduce the floating interest rate to 1-month LIBOR plus 3.00% upon the successful achievement of certain performance hurdles; the mortgage loan amortizes on a 25-year schedule; and the mortgage loan continues to be guaranteed by Sotherly Hotels LP.

On May 20, 2019, the Operating Partnership redeemed the entire $25.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 7.25% Notes, at a redemption price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the 7.25% Notes, plus any accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the redemption date.

Portfolio Update

On June 4, 2019, the Company’s hotel in Tampa, Florida was converted to the Hotel Alba, a member of the Tapestry Collection by Hilton, following the completion of an $11.3 million renovation project.  “Alba”, Spanish for sunrise, is a nod to the rise of Tampa’s historic cigar industry in the late nineteenth century, a transformative shift that ushered in the cultural diversity and economic prosperity that continues to define Tampa today.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company considers the non-GAAP measures of FFO (including FFO per share), EBITDA and hotel EBITDA to be key supplemental measures of the Company’s performance and could be considered along with, not alternatives to, net income (loss) as a measure of the Company’s performance. These measures do not represent cash generated from operating activities determined by generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) or amounts available for the Company’s discretionary use and should not be considered alternative measures of net income, cash flows from operations or any other operating performance measure prescribed by GAAP. 

FFO

Industry analysts and investors use Funds from Operations (“FFO”), as a supplemental operating performance measure of an equity REIT. FFO is calculated in accordance with the definition adopted by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”). FFO, as defined by NAREIT, represents net income or loss determined in accordance with GAAP, excluding extraordinary items as defined under GAAP and gains or losses from sales of previously depreciated operating real estate assets, plus certain non-cash items such as real estate asset depreciation and amortization, and after adjustment for any noncontrolling interest from unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with GAAP implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values instead have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, many investors and analysts have considered the presentation of operating results for real estate companies that use historical cost accounting to be insufficient by itself.

The Company considers FFO to be a useful measure of adjusted net income (loss) for reviewing comparative operating and financial performance because we believe FFO is most directly comparable to net income (loss), which remains the primary measure of performance, because by excluding gains or losses related to sales of previously depreciated operating real estate assets and excluding real estate asset depreciation and amortization, FFO assists in comparing the operating performance of a company’s real estate between periods or as compared to different companies. Although FFO is intended to be a REIT industry standard, other companies may not calculate FFO in the same manner as we do, and investors should not assume that FFO as reported by us is comparable to FFO as reported by other REITs.

Adjusted FFO

The Company presents adjusted FFO, including adjusted FFO per share and unit, which adjusts for certain additional items including changes in deferred income taxes, any unrealized gain (loss) on hedging instruments or warrant derivative, loan impairment losses, losses on early extinguishment of debt, aborted offering costs, loan modification fees, franchise termination costs, costs associated with the departure of executive officers, litigation settlement, over-assessed real estate taxes on appeal, change in control gains or losses and acquisition transaction costs. We exclude these items as we believe it allows for meaningful comparisons between periods and among other REITs and is more indicative than FFO of the on-going performance of our business and assets. Our calculation of adjusted FFO may be different from similar measures calculated by other REITs.

EBITDA

The Company believes that excluding the effect of non-operating expenses and non-cash charges, and the portion of those items related to unconsolidated entities, all of which are also based on historical cost accounting and may be of limited significance in evaluating current performance, can help eliminate the accounting effects of depreciation and financing decisions and facilitate comparisons of core operating profitability between periods and between REITs, even though EBITDA also does not represent an amount that accrued directly to shareholders.

Hotel EBITDA

The Company defines hotel EBITDA as net income or loss excluding: (1) interest expense, (2) interest income, (3) income tax provision or benefit, (4) equity in the income or loss of equity investees, (5) unrealized gains and losses on derivative instruments not included in other comprehensive income, (6) gains and losses on disposal of assets, (7) realized gains and losses on investments, (8) impairment of long-lived assets or investments, (9) loss on early debt extinguishment, (10) gains or losses on change in control, (11) corporate general and administrative expense, (12) depreciation and amortization, (13) gains and losses on involuntary conversions of assets, (14) distributions to preferred stockholders and (15) other operating revenue not related to our wholly-owned portfolio.  We believe this provides a more complete understanding of the operating results over which our wholly-owned hotels and its operators have direct control.  We believe hotel EBITDA provides investors with supplemental information on the on-going operational performance of our hotels and the effectiveness of third-party management companies operating our business on a property-level basis. The Company’s calculation of hotel EBITDA may be different from similar measures calculated by other REITs.
