Pro Forma RevPAR Increases 78%; 2019 RevPAR Recapture Rate Reaches New Quarterly High

Completed the Acquisition of $822 Million 27-Hotel NewcrestImage Portfolio

Accretive Transaction Activity Continues with Pending Acquisition of AC Hotel by Marriott & Element Miami Brickell and Pending Sale of Hilton Garden Inn San Francisco Airport North

AUSTIN, Texas, May 3, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Summit Hotel Properties, Inc. (NYSE:INN) (the "Company"), today announced results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2022.

"Our operating results continue to improve as we have begun to see a more meaningful increase in demand segments beyond the robust leisure travel demand that has driven the industry's results in the early part of the recovery. We were particularly encouraged by the sequential monthly improvements we experienced across all operating and financial metrics, including first quarter hotel-level profitability that was more than three times higher compared to a year ago. President's Day weekend again served as a notable demand inflection point across our portfolio, culminating with March RevPAR of $120 – a 87% recapture to 2019 – and hotel EBITDA margin of 40%, the highest we have achieved since the onset of the pandemic," said Jonathan P. Stanner, the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer.

"In January, we closed on the previously announced acquisition of 27 hotels from NewcrestImage, which represented the largest transaction in the Company's history and significantly increased our presence in high growth Sun Belt markets. We are also excited to announce the pending acquisition of the newly developed dual-branded AC Hotel by Marriott and Element located in the rapidly growing Brickell submarket of Miami. The transaction represents our first exercised option in connection with our mezzanine lending program. Since the onset of the pandemic, we have closed or announced the acquisition of nearly $1 billion of high-quality hotels. In addition, our joint venture with GIC has entered into an agreement to sell the Hilton Garden Inn San Francisco Airport North hotel for $75 million, or $444,000 per key, nearly 30% higher than what we acquired the hotel for in 2019. Collectively, these transactions demonstrate our ability to thoughtfully and opportunistically allocate capital, and we remain well positioned for future growth," continued Mr. Stanner.

Transaction Activity

During the first quarter, the Company completed the previously announced 27-hotel portfolio acquisition through its existing joint venture with GIC from affiliates of NewcrestImage. The transaction included 27 hotels totaling 3,709 guestrooms, two parking structures, and various financial incentives. The total consideration for the transaction is comprised of $776.5 million, or $209,000 per key, for the 27-hotel portfolio, $24.8 million for the two parking structures, and $20.7 million for the various financial incentives.

Pending Transactions

Acquisition of the AC Hotel by Marriott & Element Miami Brickell

Subsequent to quarter-end, the Company exercised its initial equity purchase option to acquire a 90% interest in the newly constructed, dual-branded 264-guestroom AC Hotel by Marriott & Element Miami Brickell (the "Brickell Hotels"). The option price was based on a gross hotel valuation of $89.0 million, or $337,000 per key, and the Company expects to fund its estimated $38 million equity requirement with the conversion of the previously funded $30 million mezzanine construction loan, which earned 9% cash interest during the loan term, and $8 million in cash. The transaction will be funded with the assumption of an estimated $47 million mortgage loan that will have a variable interest rate of 30-day LIBOR + 300 basis points and maturity date of February 15, 2025.

Opened in December 2021, the Brickell Hotels are located in the heart of Brickell, a chic and vibrant neighborhood of downtown Miami, and adjacent to the Brickell City Centre - downtown Miami's landmark mixed-use development consisting of 5.4 million square feet of office, residential, retail and entertainment space. The Brickell Hotels' premier location creates a unique opportunity to capitalize on Miami's robust corporate and leisure demand growth. The Brickell Hotels feature Rosa Sky, a rooftop bar and lounge, an amenity deck with a pool, cabana seating, and outdoor bar, the AC lounge restaurant and bar, modern fitness center, nearly 5,000 square feet of meeting and event space, and 150 structured parking spaces in the property's garage.

The Miami market has been a leader in the lodging recovery during the pandemic ranking first in the nation in nominal RevPAR in both 2020 and 2021 and one of only three markets among the top 25 in the U.S. that surpassed 2019 RevPAR levels in 2021. The Miami market was the best performing top 25 market in the first quarter of 2022 surpassing the comparable 2019 RevPAR by 18%.

The transaction is expected to close during the second quarter of 2022. The project was developed by an affiliate of Robert Finvarb Companies, LLC, an established Miami based developer, who will remain our joint venture partner with a 10% equity interest in the Brickell Hotels. Upon closing, a $10 million letter of credit that currently supports the equity purchase option will be released and the Company will retain the option to acquire the remaining 10% equity interest of the Brickell Hotels in December 2026.

Disposition of the Hilton Garden Inn San Francisco Airport North

Subsequent to quarter end, the Company's joint venture with GIC entered into a contract to sell the 169-guestroom Hilton Garden Inn San Francisco Airport North for total consideration of $75.0 million, or $444,000 per key. The transaction represents a 1.0% capitalization rate based on the hotel's net operating income after a 4% FF&E reserve for the twelve months ended March 31, 2022. The Company will also forego a comprehensive renovation that was scheduled for late 2022 estimated to be $7.1 million, or $42,000 per key, as a result of the sale.

The joint venture acquired the hotel in October 2019 for $58.0 million, or $343,000 per key, and the transaction is expected to result in a $20.5 million net gain on sale. Net proceeds from the transaction are estimated to be $73 million, of which the Company's share will be equal to approximately $37 million. The Company expects to use the net sale proceeds to repay indebtedness and for other general corporate purposes.

Capital Markets and Balance Sheet

On March 31, 2022, inclusive of its pro rata share of the Joint Venture debt, the Company had the following:

Pro rata outstanding debt of $1.2 billion with a weighted average interest rate of 3.39 percent.
After giving effect to interest rate derivative agreements, $839.0 million, or 69 percent, of our pro rata outstanding debt had fixed interest rates, and $377.2 million, or 31 percent, had variable interest rates.
Pro rata unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $62.7 million.
Revolving credit facility availability of $340.0 million, plus an additional $50.0 million available to borrow subject to certain requirements. The Company had no borrowings outstanding on its revolving credit facility.
Total liquidity of $452.7 million, including unrestricted cash and cash equivalents and revolving credit facility availability.

Capital Improvements

The Company invested $10.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and plans to invest a total of $60.0 million to $80.0 million on a consolidated basis and $50.0 million to $70.0 million on a pro rata basis for the full year 2022. The Company anticipates completing or starting renovations at 13 hotels during the year, nine of which are expected to commence in the fourth quarter. Renovations expected to be complete by year-end include the Hilton Garden Inn Houston Energy Corridor, Hyatt Place Orlando Universal Studios, and SpringHill Suites Nashville MetroCenter.

Dividends

On April 29, 2022, the Company declared a quarterly cash preferred dividend of $0.390625 per share of the Company's 6.25% Series E Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock for the dividend period ending on May 31, 2022, and a cash dividend of $0.3671875 per share of the Company's 5.875% Series F Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock for the dividend period ending on May 31, 2022.

The Company also declared on behalf of the operating partnership, distributions pertaining to the operating partnership's unregistered 5.25% Series Z Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Units that were issued as part of the recently completed NewcrestImage portfolio acquisition. The cash distributions are $0.328125 per unit for the units issued on January 13, 2022, and $0.249660 per unit for the units issued on March 23, 2022.

The dividends and distributions are payable on May 31, 2022, to holders of record as of May 17, 2022.

2022 Outlook

Given the continued uncertainty and volatility of the operating environment, the Company is not providing operational or earnings guidance at this time. However, the Company is providing its expectations for certain non-operational items based on 101 hotels owned as of March 31, 2022 and pending transaction activity including the acquisition of the 264-guestroom dual-branded AC Hotel by Marriott & Element Miami Brickell and the disposition of the 169-guestroom Hilton Garden Inn San Francisco Airport North currently owned by the Company's joint venture with GIC, both of which are expected to be completed during the second quarter of 2022.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We disclose certain "non-GAAP financial measures," which are measures of our historical financial performance. Non-GAAP financial measures are financial measures not prescribed by Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"). These measures are as follows: (i) Funds From Operations ("FFO") and Adjusted Funds from Operations ("AFFO"), (ii) Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization ("EBITDA"), Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization for Real Estate ("EBITDAre"), Adjusted EBITDAre, and hotel EBITDA (as described below). We caution investors that amounts presented in accordance with our definitions of non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by other companies, since not all companies calculate these non-GAAP financial measures in the same manner. Our non-GAAP financial measures should be considered along with, but not as alternatives to, net income (loss) as a measure of our operating performance. Our non-GAAP financial measures may include funds that may not be available for our discretionary use due to functional requirements to conserve funds for capital expenditures, property acquisitions, debt service obligations and other commitments and uncertainties. Although we believe that our non-GAAP financial measures can enhance the understanding of our financial condition and results of operations, these non-GAAP financial measures are not necessarily better indicators of any trend as compared to a comparable measure prescribed by GAAP such as net income (loss).

Funds From Operations ("FFO") and Adjusted FFO ("AFFO")

As defined by Nareit, FFO represents net income or loss (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding preferred dividends, gains (or losses) from sales of real property, impairment losses on real estate assets, items classified by GAAP as extraordinary, the cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles, plus depreciation and amortization related to real estate assets, and adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships, and joint ventures. AFFO represents FFO excluding amortization of deferred financing costs, franchise fees, equity-based compensation expense, debt transaction costs, premiums on redemption of preferred shares, losses from net casualties, non-cash lease expense, non-cash interest income and non-cash income tax related adjustments to our deferred tax assets. Unless otherwise indicated, we present FFO and AFFO applicable to our common shares and common units. We present FFO and AFFO because we consider FFO and AFFO an important supplemental measure of our operational performance and believe it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors, and other interested parties in the evaluation of REITs, many of which present FFO and AFFO when reporting their results. FFO and AFFO are intended to exclude GAAP historical cost depreciation and amortization, which assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes ratably over time. Historically, however, real estate values have risen or fallen with market conditions. Because FFO and AFFO exclude depreciation and amortization related to real estate assets, gains and losses from real property dispositions and impairment losses on real estate assets, FFO and AFFO provide performance measures that, when compared year over year, reflect the effect to operations from trends in occupancy, guestroom rates, operating costs, development activities and interest costs, providing perspective not immediately apparent from net income. Our computation of FFO differs slightly from the computation of Nareit-defined FFO related to the reporting of corporate depreciation and amortization expense. Our computation of FFO may also differ from the methodology for calculating FFO used by other equity REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REITs. FFO and AFFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP) as an indicator of our liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to pay dividends or make distributions. Where indicated in this release, FFO is based on our computation of FFO and not the computation of Nareit-defined FFO unless otherwise noted.

EBITDA, EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDAre, and Hotel EBITDA

EBITDA

EBITDA represents net income or loss, excluding: (i) interest, (ii) income tax expense and (iii) depreciation and amortization. We believe EBITDA is useful to an investor in evaluating our operating performance because it provides investors with an indication of our ability to incur and service debt, to satisfy general operating expenses, to make capital expenditures and to fund other cash needs or reinvest cash into our business. We also believe it helps investors meaningfully evaluate and compare the results of our operations from period to period by removing the effect of our asset base (primarily depreciation and amortization) from our operating results. Our management team also uses EBITDA as one measure in determining the value of acquisitions and dispositions.

EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre

EBITDAre is based on EBITDA and is expected to provide additional relevant information about REITs as real estate companies in support of growing interest among generalist investors. EBITDAre is intended to be a supplemental non-GAAP performance measure that is independent of a company's capital structure and will provide a uniform basis to measure the enterprise value of a company compared to other REITs.

EBITDAre, as defined by Nareit, is calculated as EBITDA, excluding: (i) loss and gains on disposition of property and (ii) asset impairments, if any. We believe EBITDAre is useful to an investor in evaluating our operating performance because it provides investors with an indication of our ability to incur and service debt, to satisfy general operating expenses, to make capital expenditures and to fund other cash needs or reinvest cash into our business. We also believe it helps investors meaningfully evaluate and compare the results of our operations from period to period by removing the effect of our asset base (primarily depreciation and amortization) from our operating results.

We make additional adjustments to EBITDAre when evaluating our performance because we believe that the exclusion of certain additional non-recurring or certain non-cash items described below provides useful supplemental information to investors regarding our ongoing operating performance. We believe that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDAre, when combined with the primary GAAP presentation of net income, is useful to an investor in evaluating our operating performance because it provides investors with an indication of our ability to incur and service debt, to satisfy general operating expenses, to make capital expenditures and to fund other cash needs or reinvest cash into our business. We also believe it helps investors meaningfully evaluate and compare the results of our operations from period to period by removing the effect of our asset base (primarily depreciation and amortization) from our operating results.

Hotel EBITDA

With respect to hotel EBITDA, we believe that excluding the effect of corporate-level expenses and non-cash items provides a more complete understanding of the operating results over which individual hotels and operators have direct control. We believe the property-level results provide investors with supplemental information on the ongoing operational performance of our hotels and effectiveness of the third-party management companies operating our business on a property-level basis.

We caution investors that amounts presented in accordance with our definitions of EBITDA, EBITDAre, adjusted EBITDAre, and hotel EBITDA may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by other companies, since not all companies calculate these non-GAAP measures in the same manner. EBITDA, EBITDAre, adjusted EBITDAre, and hotel EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative measure of our net income (loss) or operating performance. EBITDA, EBITDAre, adjusted EBITDAre, and hotel EBITDA may include funds that may not be available for our discretionary use due to functional requirements to conserve funds for capital expenditures and property acquisitions and other commitments and uncertainties. Although we believe that EBITDA, EBITDAre, adjusted EBITDAre, and hotel EBITDA can enhance your understanding of our financial condition and results of operations, these non-GAAP financial measures are not necessarily a better indicator of any trend as compared to a comparable GAAP measure such as net income (loss). Above, we include a quantitative reconciliation of EBITDA, EBITDAre, adjusted EBITDAre and hotel EBITDA to the most directly comparable GAAP financial performance measure, which is net income (loss) and operating income (loss).
