Accretive Dispositions Continue with Sale of Two Additional Hotels

New $200 Million Term Loan Financing Completed; No Significant Debt Maturities Until 2026

AUSTIN, Texas, Feb. 28, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Summit Hotel Properties, Inc. (NYSE: INN) (the "Company"), today announced results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2023.

"We are proud of the Company's many successes in 2023, led by RevPAR growth of 6.6 percent which outpaced the overall industry by approximately 170 basis points and was primarily driven by the strong performance of our urban hotels. We continue to enhance our portfolio through strategic asset sales, including the sale of six hotels since the beginning of 2023 for nearly $50 million at an attractive blended capitalization rate of 2.6 percent after foregone capital expenditures. A portion of those proceeds were recycled into two high quality hotels located in high-growth markets, at capitalization rates over 9 percent on a blended basis. The improved performance of our portfolio and our ongoing efforts to prudently allocate capital allowed us to increase our common dividend by 50 percent during the year," said Jonathan P. Stanner, the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer.

"Since the beginning of 2023, we have successfully completed approximately $1 billion of financing activity that has further enhanced our well-positioned balance sheet by extending debt maturity dates, maintaining attractive pricing and preserving overall flexibility to execute on our strategic initiatives. Most recently, our new $200 million term loan financing replaced our last remaining meaningful tranche of debt scheduled to mature in 2025. As a result, we have no significant debt maturities until 2026, nearly $400 million of liquidity, a weighted average cost of debt of approximately 4.75 percent and, inclusive of attractively priced interest rate swaps and preferred equity, approximately 80 percent of our balance sheet has fixed interest rates. Our outlook for 2024 remains positive, supported by stable demand trends and the expectation that growth in our urban markets will continue to lead portfolio performance, which we believe is positioned to once again outperform the broader industry in 2024," commented Mr. Stanner.

Transaction Activity

Dispositions

Subsequent to year-end, the Company completed the sale of the 127-guestroom Hyatt Place Dallas / Plano for a gross sales price of $10.3 million through its joint venture with GIC. The sales price for the transaction represents a 4.3 percent capitalization rate based on net operating income after a 4.0 percent FF&E reserve for the trailing 12 months ended December 31, 2023. The joint venture will forego approximately $5.2 million of future near-term required capital expenditures at the hotel as a result of the sale, which reduces the all-in capitalization rate to approximately 2.9 percent.

Throughout 2023, the Company continued its strategic capital recycling program that included the sale of five hotels for a gross sales price of $36.4 million at a blended capitalization rate of 2.5 percent after consideration of foregone capital expenditures.

Combined, the Company has sold six hotels for $46.6 million ($41.6 million on a pro rata basis) since the beginning of 2023 at a blended capitalization rate of 2.6 percent after consideration of $30.9 million of foregone capital expenditures.

Capital Markets & Balance Sheet

The Company continued to enhance its balance sheet in 2023 and subsequent to year-end, including successfully closing the following significant transactions:

• In February 2024, the Company successfully completed a new $200 million senior unsecured term loan financing (the "2024 Term Loan"). The 2024 Term Loan provides for a fully extended maturity date of February 2029 and interest rate pricing ranging from 135 basis points to 235 basis points over the applicable adjusted term SOFR. Proceeds from the 2024 Term Loan financing, along with asset sale proceeds, cash on hand, and revolver availability, were used to repay in full the Company's $225 million term loan that was scheduled to mature in February 2025. As a result of the 2024 Term Loan financing, the Company has no significant debt maturities until 2026 and has an average length to maturity of approximately 3.6 years. Other terms of the agreement are similar to the Company's previous senior unsecured term loan.
  
  
• In January 2024, subsidiaries of the GIC joint venture entered into a $100 million forward starting interest rate swap to fix one-month term SOFR at 3.765 percent until January 2026, which compares to the current term SOFR rate of 5.33 percent. The interest rate swap has an effective date of October 1, 2024.
  
  
• In September 2023, the Company's joint venture with GIC successfully completed the refinancing of its $200 million senior credit facility, which is comprised of a $125 million revolving credit facility and a $75 million term loan. The new credit agreement provides for a fully extended maturity date of September 2028.
  
  
• In June 2023, the Company successfully completed the refinancing of its $600 million senior unsecured credit facility, which is comprised of a $400 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility and $200 million senior unsecured term loan. The amended and restated credit agreement provides for a maturity date of June 2028 for both the revolver and term loan, including extension options.
  
  
• In March 2023, subsidiaries of the GIC joint venture entered into two $100 million interest rate swaps to fix one-month term SOFR at 3.354 percent until January 2026. The interest rate swaps had an effective date of July 1, 2023.

On a pro rata basis, the Company had the following outstanding indebtedness and liquidity available at year-end 2023:

• Outstanding debt of $1.1 billion with a weighted average interest rate of approximately 4.75 percent. After giving effect to interest rate derivative agreements, $849.2 million, or 75 percent, of our outstanding debt had an average fixed interest rate, and $283.8 million, or 25 percent, had a variable interest rate.
  
  
• Unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $29.1 million.
  
  
• Total liquidity of $396.3 million, including unrestricted cash and cash equivalents and revolving credit facility availability.

Common and Preferred Dividend Declaration

On January 25, 2024, the Company declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.06 per share on its common stock and per common unit of limited partnership interest in Summit Hotel OP, LP.

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") and 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, transaction costs, debt transaction costs, premiums on redemption of preferred shares, losses from net casualties, non-cash interest income and non-cash income tax related adjustments to our deferred tax asset. 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, and certain transaction costs related to lodging property acquisition activities and debt, 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 depreciation and amortization expense on assets at our corporate offices, which is de minimus. 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

In September 2017, Nareit proposed a standardized performance measure, called EBITDAre, which 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. The conclusion was reached that, while dedicated REIT investors have long been accustomed to utilizing the industry's supplemental measures such as FFO and net operating income ("NOI") to evaluate the investment quality of REITs as real estate companies, it would be helpful to generalist investors for REITs as real estate companies to also present EBITDAre as a more widely known and understood supplemental measure of performance. 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 for one measurement of 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 unusual 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.

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).
