Apple Hospitality REIT, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)


1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies


Organization

Apple Hospitality REIT, Inc., together with its wholly-owned subsidiaries (the “Company”), is a Virginia corporation that has elected to be treated as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for federal income tax purposes. The Company is a self-advised REIT that invests in income-producing real estate, primarily in the lodging sector, in the United States.States (“U.S.”). The Company’s fiscal year end is December 31. The Company has no foreign operations or assets and its operating structure includes only one1 reportable segment. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Although the Company has interests in potential variable interest entities through its purchase commitments, it is not the primary beneficiary as the Company does not have any elements of power in the decision makingdecision-making process of these entities, and therefore does not consolidate the entities. As of September 30, 2017,2021, the Company owned 237215 hotels with an aggregate of 30,18828,085 rooms located in 33 states, including one hotel with 316 rooms classified as held for sale, which was sold to an unrelated party in October 2017.35 states. The Company’s common shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the ticker symbol “APLE.”


Basis of Presentation


The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations for reporting on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles generally accepted in the United States(“GAAP”) for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. These unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements included in its 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K.10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 (the “2020 Form 10-K”). Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 20172021 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the twelve month period ending December 31, 2017.


2021.

Use of Estimates


The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principlesGAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.


Coronavirus COVID-19 Pandemic 

As a result of the coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic (“COVID-19”) and the impact it has had on travel and the broader economy throughout the U.S. since March 2020, the Company’s hotels have experienced significant declines in occupancy, which have had and are expected to continue to have a significant negative effect on the Company’s revenue and operating results. While occupancy has recovered significantly during the first nine months of 2021, there remains significant uncertainty as to when or if operations at the hotels will return to pre-pandemic levels.

Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share


Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed based upon the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per common share is calculated after giving effect to all potential common shares that were dilutive and outstanding for the period. Basic and diluted net income (loss) per common share were the same for each of the periods presented.


Accounting Standards Recently Adopted


Reference Rate Reform

In January 2017,March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2017-01, Business Combinations2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 805), Clarifying the Definition of a Business848), which is intendedprovides optional guidance through December 31, 2022 to addease the potential burden in accounting for, or recognizing the effects of, reference rate reform on financial reporting. In January 2021, the FASB issued 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848), Scope, which further clarified the scope of the reference rate reform optional practical expedients and exceptions outlined in Topic 848. The amendments in ASU Nos. 2020-04 and 2021-01 apply to contract modifications that replace a reference rate affected by reference rate reform, providing optional expedients regarding the measurement of hedge effectiveness in hedging relationships that have been modified to replace a reference rate. The guidance in ASU Nos. 2020-04 and 2021-01 became effective upon issuance and the provisions of the ASUs have not had a material impact on the Company’s

7


Index

consolidated financial statements and related disclosures as of September 30, 2021.The provisions of these updates will generally affect the Company by allowing, among other things, the following:

Modifications of the Company’s unsecured credit facilities (as defined below) to replace the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) with a substitute index to be accounted for as a non-substantial modification and not be considered a debt extinguishment.

Changes to the floating interest rate index used in the Company’s interest rate swaps to not be considered a change to the critical terms of the hedge and therefore not requiring a dedesignation of the hedging relationship.

The Company has not entered into any contract modifications yet as it directly relates to reference rate reform but anticipates having to undertake such modifications in the future as a majority of the Company’s unsecured credit facilities and interest rate swaps are indexed to LIBOR.

Accounting Standards Recently Issued

Accounting for Certain Equity Options

In May 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2021-04, Issuer’s Accounting for Certain Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options (Topics 260, 470, 718 and 815), which provides updated guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accountedclarify and reduce diversity in an issuer’s accounting for as acquisitions (or disposals)modifications or exchanges of assetsfreestanding equity-classified written call options that remain equity classified after modification or businesses.exchange. The standard isprovisions of this update are effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017 with early adoption permitted.2021. The Company adopted this standard effective January 1, 2017 on a prospective basis.  Prior to the adoption of this standard, the Company’s acquisitions of hotel properties were accounted for as existing businesses, and therefore all transaction costs associated with the acquisitions, including title, legal, accounting, brokerage commissions and other related costs were expensed as incurred.  Under the new standard, effective January 1, 2017, acquisitions of hotel properties (including the acquisition of three hotels during the first nine months of 2017, as discussed in Note 3) will generally be accounted for as acquisitions of a group of assets, with costs incurred to effect an acquisition being capitalized as part of the cost of the assets acquired, instead of accounted for separately as expenses in the period that they are incurred.  Asset acquisitions now require the Company to complete its allocation of the purchase price at the time of the acquisition as the measurement period applicable to business combinations does not apply to asset acquisitions.



Accounting Standards Recently Issued

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which affects virtually all aspects of an entity’s revenue recognition.  The core principle of the new standard is that revenue should be recognized to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.  In March, April, May and December 2016, the FASB issued ASUs No. 2016-08, 2016-10, 2016-12 and 2016-20, respectively, all related to Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which further clarify the application of the standard.  In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date, which deferred the effectiveness of ASU No. 2014-09 to annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and permitted early application for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016.  The Company plans to adopt this standard on January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective approach.  Although the Company is still evaluating this ASU, based on its assessment to date, the Company does not believe there will be a significant change to the amount or timing of the recording of revenue in its consolidated financial statements.

In February 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-05, Other Income—Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets (Subtopic 610-20), Clarifying the Scope of Asset Derecognition Guidance and Accounting for Partial Sales of Nonfinancial Assets, which clarifies the scope of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Subtopic 610-20 and adds guidance for the derecognition of nonfinancial assets, including partial sales.  The standard is effective in conjunction with ASU No. 2014-09, presented above, which is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017 with early adoption permitted.  The provisions of this update must be applied at the same time as the adoption of ASU No. 2014-09.  The Company plans to adopt this standard on January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective approach.  The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities, which amends the hedge accounting model to enable entities to better portray their risk management activities in their financial statements and enhance the transparency and understandability of hedging activity.  The standard simplifies the application of hedge accounting and reduces the administrative burden of hedge documentation requirements and assessing hedge effectiveness.  The standard is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018 with early adoption permitted.  The standard requires a modified retrospective approach for all hedge relationships that exist on the date of adoption.  The presentation and disclosure guidance is required only prospectively.  The Company is currently evaluating when it will adopt the standard.  The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

2.  Merger with Apple REIT Ten, Inc.


Effective September 1, 2016, the Company completed its previously announced merger with Apple REIT Ten, Inc. (“Apple Ten”) (the “merger”).  Pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger entered into on April 13, 2016, as amended on July 13, 2016 (the “Merger Agreement”), Apple Ten merged with and into a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Acquisition Sub”), at which time the separate corporate existence of Apple Ten ceased and Acquisition Sub became the surviving corporation in the merger.  Acquisition Sub was formed solely for the purpose of engaging in the merger and had not conducted any prior activities.  As a result of the merger, the Company acquired the business of Apple Ten, a real estate investment trust, which immediately prior to the effective time of the merger, owned 56 hotels located in 17 states with an aggregate of 7,209 rooms.

The Company accounted for the merger in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations.  The Company was considered the acquirer for financial reporting purposes, which required, among other things, that the assets acquired and liabilities assumed from Apple Ten be recognized at their acquisition date fair values.  For purpose of accounting for the transaction, the aggregate value of the merger consideration paid to Apple Ten shareholders was estimated to be approximately $1.0 billion, and was comprised of approximately $956.1 million for the issuance of approximately 48.7 million common shares of the Company valued at $19.62 per share, which was the closing price of the Company’s common shares on August 31, 2016 (the date that the merger was approved), and $93.6 million in cash, which was funded through borrowings on the Company’s $540 million revolving credit facility (the “revolving credit facility”).  All costs (reimbursements) related to the merger were recorded in the period incurred and are included in transaction and litigation costs (reimbursements) in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.  In connection with the merger, the Company incurred approximately $37.6 million in merger costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, which included $32.0 million funded by the Company in January 2017 to settle the Apple Ten merger lawsuit and approximately $1.8 million in legal costs incurred to defend the lawsuit.  During 2017, the Company received $12.6 million in proceeds from its director and officer insurance carriers in connection with the merger lawsuit, of which $10.0 million (received in January 2017) and $2.6 million (received in May 2017) were included as reductions in transaction and litigation costs (reimbursements) for the fourth quarter of 2016 and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively.  Further discussion of the merger litigation is included in Note 10.


Effective September 1, 2016, upon completion of the merger, the Company assumed approximately $145.7 million in mortgage debt, prior to any fair value adjustments, secured by nine properties.  The Company also assumed the outstanding balance on Apple Ten’s credit facility totaling $111.1 million, which was terminated and repaid in full on September 1, 2016 with borrowings on the Company’s revolving credit facility.

As contemplated in the Merger Agreement, in connection with the completion of the merger, the advisory and related party arrangements with respect to Apple Ten and its advisors, as described in more detail in Note 7, were terminated.

The following unaudited pro forma information for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, is presented as if the merger, effective September 1, 2016, had occurred on January 1, 2016, and is based on assumptions and estimates considered appropriate by the Company.  The pro forma information is provided for illustrative purposes only and does not necessarily reflect what the operating results would have been had the merger been completed on January 1, 2016, nor is it necessarily indicative of future operating results.  The pro forma information does not give effect to any cost synergies or other operating efficiencies that could result from the merger.  Amounts are in thousands except per share data.

  Three Months Ended September 30,  Nine Months Ended September 30, 
  2017 (Actual)  2016 (Proforma)  2017 (Proforma)  2016 (Proforma) 
Total revenue $324,926  $325,924  $949,555  $949,760 
Net income $62,824  $59,960  $182,209  $176,985 
Basic and diluted net income per common share $0.28  $0.27  $0.82  $0.79 
Weighted average common shares outstanding - basic and diluted  223,057   223,403   223,052   223,399 

For purposes of calculating these pro forma amounts, merger transaction and litigation costs (reimbursements) totaling approximately ($2.6) million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, and approximately $36.4 million and $37.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively, included in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations, were excluded from the pro forma amounts since these costs and reimbursements are attributable to the merger and related transactions and do not have an ongoing impact to the statements of operations.

Dispositions

During the first quarter of 2017,nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company identified two properties for potential sale: the Columbus, Georgia SpringHill Suites and TownePlace Suites hotels.  In April 2017, the Company entered intosold 23 hotels in 4 separate contractstransactions with the same unrelated party for the sale of these propertiesparties for a total combined gross sales price of approximately $10.0 million.  Due to the change in the anticipated hold period for each of these hotels, the Company reviewed the estimated undiscounted cash flows generated by each property (including its sale price, net of estimated selling costs) and determined that, for each hotel, the undiscounted cash flows were less than its carrying value; therefore the Company recognized an impairment loss of approximately $7.9$234.6 million, in the first quarter of 2017 to adjust the bases of these properties to their estimated fair values, which were based on the contracted sale price, net of estimated selling costs, a Level 1 input under the fair value hierarchy.  In May 2017, both of these contracts were terminated.


During the third quarter of 2016, the Company identified two properties for potential sale: the Dallas, Texas Hilton hotel and the Chesapeake, Virginia Marriott hotel.  In October 2016, the Company entered into separate contracts for the sale of these properties.  Due to the change in the anticipated hold period for each of these hotels, the Company reviewed the estimated undiscounted cash flows generated by each property (including its sale price, net of commissions and other selling costs) and determined that the Chesapeake, Virginia Marriott’s estimated undiscounted cash flows were less than its carrying value; therefore the Company recognized an impairment loss of approximately $5.5 million in the third quarter of 2016 to adjust the basis of this property to its estimated fair value, which was based on the original contracted sale price, net of broker commissions and other estimated selling costs, a Level 1 input under the fair value hierarchy.  The Chesapeake, Virginia Marriott was sold in December 2016.  The Dallas, Texas Hilton contract was terminated in November 2016, and, as discussed in Note 4, a new purchase and sale agreement was entered into by the Company in December 2016, and the hotel was sold in April 2017.

4.  Assets Held for Sale and Dispositions

In December 2016, the Company entered into a purchase and sale agreement with an unrelated party for the sale of its 224-room Hilton hotel in Dallas, Texas for a gross sales price of approximately $56.1 million, as amended.  The hotel was classified as held for sale at its historical cost (which was less than the contract price, net of costs to sell) in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2016.  On April 20, 2017, the Company completed the sale resulting in a combined net gain on sale, after giving effect to impairment charges discussed below, of approximately $16.0$3.7 million, net of transaction costs, which is included in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.2021.

Hotel Sale Contracts and Loss on Impairment of Depreciable Real Estate Assets

During the first quarter of 2021, the Company identified 20 hotels for potential sale and, in April 2021, entered into a purchase contract with an unrelated party for the sale of the hotels for a gross sales price of $211.0 million. As a result, the Company recognized impairment losses totaling approximately $9.4 million in the first quarter of 2021, to adjust the carrying values of four of these hotels to their estimated fair values. The fair values of these properties were based on broker opinions of value using multiple methods to determine their value, including but not limited to replacement value, discounted cash flows and the income approach based on historical and forecasted operating results of the specific properties. These valuations are Level 3 inputs under the fair value hierarchy. The Company completed the sale of the hotels in July 2021 and used the net proceeds from the sale to pay down borrowings on the Company’s revolving credit facility and for general corporate purposes, including acquisitions of hotel properties.

Additionally, during the first quarter of 2021, the Company identified the Overland Park, Kansas SpringHill Suites for potential sale and, in February 2021, entered into a purchase contract with an unrelated party for the sale of the hotel for a gross sales price of $5.3 million. As a result, the Company recognized an impairment loss totaling approximately $1.3 million in the first quarter of 2021, to adjust the carrying value of the hotel to its estimated fair value less cost to sell, which was based on the contracted sales price, a Level 1 input under the fair value hierarchy. The Company completed the sale of the hotel in April 2021 and used the net proceeds from the sale to pay down borrowings on the Company’s revolving credit facility.

In June 2020, the Company entered into a purchase contract with an unrelated party for the sale of its 140-room Memphis, Tennessee Homewood Suites for a gross sales price of approximately $9.0 million. As a result, the Company recognized an impairment loss of approximately $4.4 million in the second quarter of 2020, representing the difference between the carrying value of the hotel and the contracted sales price, net of estimated selling costs, which is a Level 1 input under the fair value hierarchy. The Company completed the sale of the hotel in March 2021 and used the net proceeds from the sale to pay down borrowings on the Company’s revolving credit facility.

Credit Facilities

Credit Facilities Amendments

As a result of COVID-19 and the associated disruption to the Company’s operating results, the Company entered into amendments in June 2020 that suspended the testing of the Company’s existing financial maintenance covenants under the unsecured credit facilities. These amendments imposed certain restrictions regarding the Company’s investing and financing activities that were applicable during a specified waiver period, including, but not limited to, limitations on the acquisition of property, payment of distributions to shareholders, capital expenditures and use of proceeds from the sale of property or common shares of the Company, that applied during such testing suspension period. On March 1, 2021, as a result of the continued disruption from COVID-19 and the related uncertainty with respect to the Company’s future operating results, the Company entered into further amendments to each of the unsecured credit facilities (the “March 2021 amendments”) to extend the covenant waiver period for all but two of the Company’s existing financial maintenance covenants until the date that the compliance certificate was required to be delivered for the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2022 (unless the Company elected an earlier date) (the “Extended Covenant Waiver Period”). The testing for the Minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio and the Minimum Unsecured Interest Coverage Ratio was suspended until the compliance certificate was required to be delivered for the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2022 (unless the Company elected an earlier date).

In addition to the modifications and restrictions imposed during the Extended Covenant Waiver Period, the amendments modified the calculation of the existing financial covenants for the first three quarterly calculations subsequent to the end of the Extended Covenant Waiver Period to annualize calculated amounts based on the period beginning with the first fiscal quarter upon exiting the Extended Covenant Waiver Period through the most recently ended fiscal quarter. The March 2021 amendments also modified certain of the existing financial maintenance covenants to less restrictive levels upon exiting the Extended Covenant Waiver Period as follows (capitalized terms are defined in the credit agreements):

Maximum Consolidated Leverage Ratio of 8.50 to 1.00 for the first two fiscal quarters, 8.00 to 1.00 for two fiscal quarters, 7.50 to 1.00 for one fiscal quarter and then a ratio of 6.50 to 1.00 thereafter;


Minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of 1.05 to 1.00 for the first fiscal quarter, 1.25 to 1.00 for one fiscal quarter and then a ratio of 1.50 to 1.00 thereafter;

Minimum Unsecured Interest Coverage Ratio of no less than 1.25 to 1.00 for one fiscal quarter, 1.50 to 1.00 for one fiscal quarter, 1.75 to 1.00 for one fiscal quarter and a ratio of 2.00 to 1.00 thereafter; and

10

Maximum Unsecured Leverage Ratio of 65% for two fiscal quarters and 60% thereafter.

Except as otherwise set forth in the amendments, the terms of the credit agreements remain in effect.

In July 2021, the Company notified its lenders under its unsecured credit facilities that it had elected to exit the Extended Covenant Waiver Period effective on July 29, 2021 pursuant to the terms of each of its unsecured credit facilities. Upon exiting the Extended Covenant Waiver Period, the Company is no longer subject to the restrictions described above regarding its investing and financing activities that were applicable during the Extended Covenant Waiver Period, including, but not limited to, limitations on the acquisition of property, payment of distributions to shareholders, capital expenditures and use of proceeds from the sale of property or common shares of the Company. Those restrictions, including the restriction on payment of distributions to shareholders, were still in place throughout the second quarter of 2021.

As of September 30, 2021, the Company met the applicable financial maintenance covenants based on the annualized results of the six months ended September 30, 2021 at the levels required for the second fiscal quarter tested upon exiting the Extended Covenant Waiver Period. The unsecured credit facilities do not provide the Company the ability to re-enter the Extended Covenant Waiver Period once it has elected to exit.

5. Fair Value of Financial Instruments


Except as described below, the carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments.


Debt


The Company estimates the fair value of its debt by discounting the future cash flows of each instrument at estimated market rates consistent with the maturity of a debt obligation with similar credit terms and credit characteristics, which are Level 3 inputs under the fair value hierarchy. Market rates take into consideration general market conditions and maturity. As of September 30, 20172021, the carrying value and estimated fair value of the Company’s debt were approximately $1.4 billion and $1.3 billion, respectively. As of December 31, 2016,2020, both the carrying value and estimated fair value of the Company’s debt were approximately $1.3$1.5 billion. Both the carrying value and estimated fair value of the Company’s debt (as discussed above) isare net of unamortized debt issuance costs related to term loans, senior notes and mortgage debt for each specific year.


Derivative Instruments


Currently, the Company uses interest rate swaps to manage its interest rate risksrisk on variable ratevariable-rate debt. Throughout the terms of these interest rate swaps, the Company pays a fixed rate of interest and receives a floating rate of interest equal to the one monthone-month LIBOR. The swaps are designed to effectively fix the interest payments on variable ratevariable-rate debt instruments. These swap instruments are recorded at fair value and, if in an asset position, are included in other assets, net, and, if in a liability position, are included in accounts payable and other liabilities in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The fair values of the Company’s interest rate swap agreements are determined using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash payments and the discounted expected variable cash receipts, which is considered a Level 2 measurement under the fair value hierarchy. The variable cash receipts are based on an expectation of future interest rates (forward curves) derived from observable market interest rate curves. The following table sets forth information for each of the Company’s interest rate swap agreements outstanding as of September 30, 20172021 and December 31, 2016.2020. All dollar amounts are in thousands.

The Company assesses, both at inception and on an ongoing basis, the effectiveness of its qualifying cash flow hedges. ChangesAs of September 30, 2021, all of the 13 active interest rate swap agreements listed above were designated as cash flow hedges. The change in the fair value onof the effective portion of allCompany’s designated cash flow hedges areis recorded to accumulated other comprehensive income,loss, a component of shareholders’ equity in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Changes in fair value on the ineffective portion of all designated cash flow hedges are recorded to interest and other expense, net in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.  


To adjust qualifying cash flow hedges to their fair value and recognize the impact of hedge accounting, the Company recorded net unrealized gains (losses) of approximately $0.3 million and $4.3 million during the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and approximately $0.6 million and $(7.9) million during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, to other comprehensive income (loss).  There was no ineffectiveness recorded on designated cash flow hedges during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016.  Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive incomeloss will be reclassified to interest and other expense, net as interest payments are made or received on the Company’s variable-rate derivatives. Net unrealized gains (losses) on cash flow hedges previously recorded to other comprehensive income (loss) that were reclassified to interest and other expense, net during the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, include approximately $(0.4) million and $(0.9) million, respectively, and during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, include approximately $(1.8) million and $(2.9) million, respectively.  The Company estimates that approximately $(0.6)$11.4 million of net unrealized gains (losses)losses included in accumulated other comprehensive incomeloss at September 30, 20172021 will be reclassified as a netan increase to interest and other expense, net within the next 12 months.

6. Related Parties


The Company has, and is expected to continue to engage in, transactions with related parties. These transactions cannot be construed to be at arm’s length and the results of the Company’s operations may be different if these transactions were conducted with non-related parties. There have been no changes to the contracts and relationships discussed in the Company’s 2016 Annual Report on2020 Form 10-K. Below is a summary of the significant related party relationships in effect during the nine months ended September 30, 20172021 and 2016.


Prior to the merger, 2020.

Glade M. Knight, Executive Chairman of the Company, was Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Apple Ten.  Apple Ten’s advisors, Apple Ten Advisors, Inc. (“A10A”) andowns Apple Realty Group, Inc. (“ARG”), are wholly owned by Mr. Knight.which receives support services from the Company and reimburses the Company for the cost of these services as discussed below. Mr. Knight is also currently a partner and Chief Executive Officer of Energy 11 GP, LLC and Energy Resources 12 GP, LLC, which are the respective general partners of Energy 11, L.P. and Energy Resources 12, L.P.  Justin G. Knight, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, and a member, each of the Company’s Board of Directors, also served as President of Apple Ten prior to the merger.


Support Services to Apple Ten, A10A and ARG Prior to and After the Apple Ten Merger

Effective September 1, 2016, the Company completed its merger with Apple Ten.  As contemplated in the Merger Agreement, in connection with the completion of the merger, the advisory and related party arrangements with respect to the Company, Apple Ten and Apple Ten’s advisors, A10A and ARG, were terminated.  Prior to the merger, A10A subcontracted its obligations under the advisory agreement between A10A and Apple Ten to the Company.  which receives support services from ARG.

The Company provided to Apple Ten the advisoryprovides support services, contemplated under the A10A advisory agreement and received an annual advisory fee and was reimbursed by Apple Ten forincluding the use of the Company’s employees and corporate office, to ARG and other costs associated withis reimbursed by ARG for the advisory agreement.  Additionally,cost of these services. Under this cost sharing structure, amounts reimbursed to the Company provided support servicesinclude both compensation for personnel and office related costs (including office rent, utilities, office supplies, etc.) used by ARG. The amounts reimbursed to Apple Ten’s advisors, who agreed to reimburse the Company for itsare based on the actual costs in providing these services.  Bothof the advisory feesservices and a good faith estimate of the proportionate amount of time incurred by the Company’s employees on behalf of ARG. Total reimbursed costs receivedallocated by the Company from Apple Ten were recorded as general and administrative expense by Apple Ten and reductions to general and administrative expense by the Company and, therefore, the termination of the subcontract agreement had no financial impact on the combined company after the effective time of the merger.  After the merger, the Company has continued and will continue to provide support services to ARG for activities unrelated to Apple Ten.


Prior to the merger, advisory fees earned by the Company from Apple Ten for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 totaled approximately $1.6 million2021 and are recorded as a reduction to general and administrative expenses in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations.  Total reimbursed costs received by the Company from these entities for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 (including Apple Ten, A10A and ARG prior to September 1, 2016 and ARG thereafter)2020 totaled approximately $0.5 million and $2.3$0.9 million, respectively, and are recorded as a reduction to general and administrative expenses in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, total amounts due from ARG for reimbursements under the cost sharing structure totaled approximately $0.3 million and $0.2 million, respectively, and are included in other assets, net in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.


As part of the cost sharing arrangement, certain day-to-day transactions may result in amounts due to or from the Company and ARG. To efficiently manage cash disbursements, the Company or ARG may make payments for the other company. Under this cash management process, each company may advance or defer up to $1 million at any time. Each quarter, any outstanding amounts are settled between the companies. This process allows each company to minimize its cash on hand and reduces the cost for each company. The amounts outstanding at any point in time are not significant to either of the companies.


As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, total amounts due from ARG for reimbursements under the cost sharing structure totaled approximately $0.2 million and $0.3 million, respectively, and are included in other assets, net in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

The Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Apple Air Holding, LLC, (“Apple Air”)


The Company, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, Apple Air, owns a Learjet used primarily for acquisition, asset management, renovation and investor and public relations purposes. Prior to the merger, Apple Air was jointly owned by the Company (74%) and Apple Ten (26%), with Apple Ten’s ownership interest accounted for as a minority interest.  Effective September 1, 2016, with the completion of the merger, the Company acquired Apple Ten’s 26% equity interest in Apple Air resulting in a 100% equity ownership interest in Apple Air and the elimination of Apple Ten’s minority interest.

The aircraft is also leased to affiliates of the Company based on third party rates, which leasing activity was not significant during the reporting periods. The Company also utilizes one aircraft, owned through two entities, one of which isan entity owned by the Company’s Executive Chairman, and the other, its President and Chief Executive Officer, for acquisition, asset management, renovation and investor and public relations purposes, and reimburses these entitiesthe entity at third party rates. Total amountscosts incurred for the use of the aircraft during the nine months ended September 30, 20172021 and 20162020 were approximatelyless than $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively, related to aircraft owned through these two entitiesfor each respective period and are included in general and administrative expenses in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.

Moses, et al. v. Apple Hospitality REIT, Inc., et al.

As previously disclosed in the 2016 Form 10-K, on April 22, 2014, Plaintiff Susan Moses, purportedly a shareholder of Apple REIT Seven, Inc. (“Apple Seven”)2021 and Apple REIT Eight, Inc. (“Apple Eight”), filed a class action against the Company and several individual directors on behalf of all then-existing shareholders and former shareholders of Apple Seven and Apple Eight, who purchased additional shares under the Dividend Reinvestment Plans (“DRIP”) of Apple Seven, Apple Eight and the Company between July 17, 2007 and February 12, 2014.  In January 2017, the parties reached an agreement in principle to settle the litigation for $5.5 million.  The settlement was preliminarily approved by the court in September 2017 and a settlement hearing has been scheduled in January 2018.  The settlement amount has been included in accounts payable and other liabilities in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2016 and September 30, 2017, and in transaction and litigation costs (reimbursements) in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2016.  At this time, no assurance can be given that the proposed settlement will be approved, and therefore the actual loss incurred could be in excess of the amount accrued as of September 30, 2017.

Wilchfort, et al. v. Apple Hospitality REIT, Inc., et al.

On February 24, 2017, Plaintiff Marsha Wilchfort, purportedly a shareholder of Apple REIT Six, Inc. (“Apple Six”), Apple Seven and Apple Eight, filed a class action against, among others, the Company and the former individual directors of Apple Six, Apple Seven and Apple Eight, including Mr. Glade Knight, on behalf of all then-existing shareholders and former shareholders of Apple Six, Apple Seven and Apple Eight, who purchased additional shares under Apple Six’s, Apple Seven’s and Apple Eight’s DRIP between July 17, 2007 and December 2012 (in the case of Apple Six shareholders) or June 30, 2013 (in the case of Apple Seven and Apple Eight shareholders).  The complaint was filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York and alleges, among other items, breach of contract under Virginia law, tortious interference and breach of implied duty of good faith and fair dealing.  The complaint alleges that the prices at which Plaintiff and the purported class members purchased additional shares through the DRIPs were not indicative of the true value of the units of Apple Six, Apple Seven and Apple Eight.

The Company believes that Plaintiff’s claims are without merit and intends to defend this case vigorously.  At this time, the Company cannot reasonably predict the outcome of this proceeding or provide a reasonable estimate of the possible loss or range of loss due to this proceeding, if any.

The Impact of COVID-19 on the Company and Hospitality Industry

Since first being reported in December 2019, COVID-19 has spread globally, including to every state in the U.S. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic, and on March 13, 2020, the U.S. declared a national emergency with respect to COVID-19.

21


Index

The outbreak of COVID-19 has not only specifically reduced travel, but also has had a detrimental impact on regional and global economies and financial markets. The global, national and local impact of the outbreak has continued to evolve and many countries, including the U.S., as well as state and local governments, have reacted and continue to react with a wide variety of measures intended to control its spread, including states of emergency, mandatory quarantines, implementation of “stay at home” orders, business closures, border closings, and restrictions on travel and large gatherings, which has resulted in, and may continue to result in, cancellation of events, including sporting events, conferences and meetings. While the Company’s operating results and the overall economy in the U.S. continue to show signs of recovery, the Company cannot presently determine the extent or duration of the overall operational and financial effects that COVID-19 will have on the Company, its business, the hospitality industry and the economy, or whether the recovery will continue.

The effects of the pandemic on the hotel industry are unprecedented. COVID-19 disrupted the industry and dramatically reduced business and leisure travel, which has had a significant adverse impact on, and management expects COVID-19 will continue to significantly adversely impact and disrupt, the Company’s business, financial performance and condition, operating results and cash flows. While a number of initial restrictions put into place during 2020 have eased, occupancy and average daily rate (“ADR”) during the first three quarters of 2021 were still generally below 2019 pre-pandemic levels. Additionally, while the development and distribution of vaccines have helped contribute to improved conditions over the first three quarters of 2021, there can be no assurances that the vaccines will contain the spread of the virus and its variants and allow the economy to fully recover. The Company expects the decline in revenue associated with COVID-19 and the overall influence on the U.S. economy to negatively impact the Company’s operating results for an extended period of time. While the Company has experienced significant recovery in leisure travel through the third quarter of 2021, the Company does not expect a full recovery in results until business travel improves and government restrictions on travel and business operations are lifted more broadly.

Since the beginning of the pandemic, the Company, its management companies and its brands have taken steps to minimize costs and cash outflow to maintain a sound liquidity position. The Company has implemented cost elimination and efficiency initiatives at each of the Company’s hotels by adjusting operations to manage total labor costs, reducing or eliminating certain amenities and reducing rates under various service contracts, enhancing its sales efforts by focusing on COVID-19-specific demand opportunities in certain markets and has strategically targeted and maximized performance based on available demand, reduced non-essential capital improvement projects planned for 2021, and entering into amendments to its unsecured credit facilities that provided for the temporary waiver of financial covenant testing for the majority of its financial maintenance covenants (the Company exited the waiver period in July 2021 due to improved financial performance). Cost reduction initiatives, including those discussed above, are not expected to fully, or even materially, offset revenue losses from COVID-19. The extent and duration of COVID-19 effects continue to remain unknown, and these uncertainties continue to make it difficult to predict operating results for the Company’s hotels for the near future. While the Company has experienced continued improvement through the third quarter of 2021 and expects continued improvement, future revenues and operating results could be negatively impacted by, among other things, historical seasonal trends, an increase in COVID-19 cases, state and local governments and businesses reverting back to tighter mitigation restrictions, deterioration of consumer sentiment, labor shortages and resulting pressure on wages or significant inflationary impacts. Therefore, there can be no assurances that the Company will not experience setbacks or further declines in hotel revenues or earnings at its hotels and the Company cannot predict how long the effects will continue to impact the Company’s operating results as compared to pre-pandemic levels.

2021 Hotel Portfolio Activities


The Company continually monitors market conditions and attempts to maximize shareholder value by investing in properties that it believes provide superior value inover the long term. Consistent with this strategy and the Company’s focus on investing in select-servicerooms-focused hotels, in 2019 the Company entered into a contract to purchase a 176-room Hilton Garden Inn to be constructed in Madison, Wisconsin. Construction of the hotel was completed in February 2021 and the Company acquired three newly constructed hotelsthe hotel on February 18, 2021 for an aggregatea gross purchase price of approximately $56.4$49.6 million, during the first nine months of 2017: a 124-room Courtyard by Marriott hotel in Fort Worth, Texas and a 104-room Hilton Garden Inn and 106-room Home2 Suites dual-branded hotel in Birmingham, Alabama.  The purchase price for each of these properties was funded throughutilizing borrowings on the Company’s $540 million revolving credit facility (the “revolving credit facility”).facility.

Hotel Operations


Although hotel performance can be influenced by many factors including local competition, local and general economic conditions in the United States and the performance of individual managers assigned to each hotel, performance of the Company’s hotels as compared to other hotels within their respective local markets, in general, has met the Company’s expectations for the period owned.  Over the past several quarters, the lodging industry and the Company have experienced low single-digit revenue growth.  Moderate improvements in the general U.S. economy have been partially offset by increased supply in many markets.  With modest revenue growth, the Company has produced stable operating results during the first nine months of 2017 on a comparable basis (as defined below) with expense increases generally offsetting revenue growth.  There is no way to predict future economic conditions, and there are certain additional factors that could negatively affect the lodging industry and the Company, including but not limited to, increased hotel supply in certain markets, labor uncertainty both for the economy as a whole and the lodging industry in particular, global volatility and government fiscal policies.  The Company, on a comparable basis, and industry are forecasting a low single-digit percentage increase in revenue for the full year of 2017 as compared to 2016, with this trend expected to continue into 2018.  The Company’s revenue growth rate for comparable hotels in 2017 is anticipated to be lower than the growth achieved in 2016, primarily due to inconsistent demand in certain markets and increased hotel supply meeting demand growth in others, limiting the Company’s ability to increase rates.

In evaluating financial condition and operating performance, the most important indicators on which the Company focuses are revenue measurements, such as average occupancy, average daily rate (“ADR”) and revenue per available room (“RevPAR”), and expenses, such as hotel operating expenses, general and administrative expenses and other expenses described below.

As of September 30, 2017,2021, the Company owned 237215 hotels with a total of 30,18828,085 rooms as compared to 236235 hotels with a total of 30,29930,023 rooms as of September 30, 2016, however, results2020. Results of operations are included only for the period of ownership for hotels acquired or disposed of during the current reporting period and prior year. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017,2021, the Company acquired three newly constructedfour hotels (one on February 2, 2017, and two on September 12, 2017) and sold one hotel on April 20, 2017.23 hotels. During 2016,2020, the Company acquired 56four hotels in the Apple REIT Ten, Inc. (“Apple Ten”) merger effective September 1, 2016 (the “Apple Ten merger”), acquired one additional newly constructed hotel on July 1, 2016 and sold one hotel on December 6, 2016.three hotels. As a result, the comparability of results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 20172021 and 20162020 as discussed below is significantly impacted by these transactions.

Beginning in March 2020, COVID-19 caused widespread cancellations of both business and leisure travel throughout the U.S., resulting in significant decreases in RevPAR throughout the Company’s hotel portfolio and the hospitality industry as a whole. With the overall uncertainty of the longevity of COVID-19 in the U.S. and the resulting economic decline, it is difficult to project the depth and duration of revenue declines for the industry and Company; however, the Company currently expects declines in revenue and operating results as compared to 2019 to continue throughout the remainder of 2021 and into the future. While the Company experienced its most significant decline in operating results during the second quarter of 2020 as compared to previous quarters, occupancy and RevPAR have since shown improvement. Although the Company expects continued recovery in rate and occupancy, future revenues and operating results could be negatively impacted by, among other things, historical seasonal trends, an increase in COVID-19 cases, state and local governments and businesses reverting back to tighter mitigation restrictions, deterioration of consumer sentiment or significant labor and inflationary pressures.

Comparable Hotels Operating Results


The following table reflects certain operating statistics for the Company’s 236215 hotels owned and held for use as of September 30, 20172021 (“Comparable Hotels”). The Company defines metrics from Comparable Hotels as results generated by the 236215 hotels owned and held for use as of the end of the reporting period.  These metrics do not include the results generated by the Fairfax, Virginia Marriott hotel which was held for sale as of September 30, 2017 and sold on October 5, 2017. For the hotels acquired during the current reporting period and prior year, the Company has included, as applicable, results of those hotels for periods prior to the Company’s ownership using information provided by the properties’ prior owners at the time of acquisition and not adjusted by the Company. This information has not been audited, either for the periods owned or prior to ownership by the Company. For dispositions, results have been excluded for the Company’s period of ownership.

As discussed above, hotel performance is impacted by many factors, including the economic conditions in the U.S. as well as each individual locality. COVID-19 has been negatively affecting the U.S. hotel industry since March 2020. The Company’s revenue and operating results improved during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, which is consistent with the overall lodging industry. However, as a result of COVID-19, the Company’s revenue and operating results have declined as compared to 2019 and the Company expects these declines relative to 2019 levels to continue throughout the remainder of 2021. The Company can give no assurances as to the amount or period of decline due to the uncertainty regarding the duration and long-term impact of, as well as governmental and consumer response to, COVID-19.

Compared to the same periodsperiod in 2016,2020, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017,2021, the Company experienced increases in ADR and occupancy, resulting in increasesan increase of 1.3% and 0.8%96.2% in RevPAR for Comparable Hotels, respectively.  The Company’s growth during the first nine months of 2017 was impacted by a decline in the Los Angeles market due to outsized growth in 2016 from the Porter Ranch gas leak.  The Company anticipates that with its geographically diverse portfolio of upscale and upper midscale select-service hotels, on a comparable basis, overall RevPAR growth for the remainder of the year will approximate industry averages.  Although certain markets will vary based on local supply/demand dynamics and local market economic conditions, with continued overall room rate improvement combined with expected stable overall demand growthHotels. As compared to supply growth, the Company, on a comparable basis, and industry are forecasting a low single-digit percentage increase in revenue for the full year of 2017 as compared to 2016, with this trend expected to continue into 2018.  Markets with above average growth in the third quarter and first nine months of 20172019 (pre-COVID-19), Comparable Hotels RevPAR for the Company and industry included Richmond, Knoxville, Kansas City, St. Louis and San Diego.  Markets that were below averagethird quarter of 2021 decreased by 11.4% primarily as a result of reduced occupancy, as Comparable Hotels ADR decreased by only 1.0%. Occupancy for the Company’s portfolio for the month of July 2021 was approximately 76%, the highest monthly level since the onset of the pandemic. Occupancy for the month of October 2021 was approximately 73%. During March 2020, the hotel industry and the Company began to see a significant decrease in occupancy as both mandated and industry included Dallas, Austin and Philadelphia.  Additionally,voluntary restrictions on travel were implemented throughout the U.S. For Comparable Hotels, average occupancy fell below 50% for most of 2020 before improving over subsequent quarters to 71.6% in the third quarter of 2017, Houston2021 driven predominately by increased leisure demand as a result of improved consumer confidence in travel and certain Floridathe lifting of some COVID-19 mitigation restrictions, but also by increased demand from a wide variety of demand generators such as government, healthcare, automotive, construction, disaster recovery, insurance, athletics, education and local and regional business-related travel. Revenue recovery in the third quarter of 2021 was led by leisure transient and group demand, with increased demand from small corporate and government business. Suburban markets experiencedcontinued to see stronger demand than urban markets. Throughout the hospitality industry, upscale and upper mid-scale chain scales have outperformed luxury and upper upscale and suburban locations have outperformed urban locations. The Company expects this trend to generally continue, however, future revenues could be negatively impacted by, among other things, historical seasonal trends, an increase in demand dueCOVID-19 cases, state and local governments and businesses reverting back to evacuationtighter mitigation restrictions or deterioration of consumer sentiment.

The impact was not material.


Hotel Operating Expense

has varied and will continue to vary by market and hotel. With the support of its brands and third-party management companies, the Company will continue to evaluate and implement adjustments to the hotel operating model in response to continued changes in the operating environment and guest preferences.

Hotel operating expense consists of direct room operating expense, hotel administrative expense, sales and marketing expense, utilities expense, repair and maintenance expense, franchise fees and management fees. ForHotel operating expense for the three months ended September 30, 20172021 and 2016, respectively, hotel operating expense2020 totaled $179.8$154.0 million and $153.3$93.8 million, respectively, or 55.3%55.5% and 55.5%63.0% of total revenue for eachthe respective period.  Forperiods. Hotel operating expense for the nine months ended September 30, 20172021 and 2016, respectively, hotel operating expense2020 totaled $528.3$393.1 million and $418.0$310.8 million, respectively, or 55.6%57.5% and 55.1%66.4% of total revenue for eachthe respective period.  Overall hotel operational expenses for the first nine months of 2017 include the results of the 57 hotels acquired during 2016, including one hotel acquired on July 1, 2016 and 56 hotels acquired with the Apple Ten merger effective September 1, 2016, for the full period and three hotels acquired in 2017 from their respective dates of acquisition.  Expenses for 2017 also include the results of one hotel sold on April 20, 2017 until the date of sale.  Expenses for the first nine months of 2016 include the results of one hotel sold on December 6, 2016 and the hotel sold on April 20, 2017 for the full period, and the results of one hotel acquired on July 1, 2016 from the date of acquisition and the 56 hotels acquired in the Apple Ten merger for the month of September 2016.  For the Company’s Comparable Hotels,periods. Comparatively, prior to COVID-19, hotel operating expense as a percentagewas 56.6% and 56.3%, respectively, of total revenue increased approximately 20 and 90 basis points, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the same periods in 2016.  During the first nine months of 2017, the Company experienced increases in labor costs as a percentage of revenue, which was the primary cause of the increase in hotel operating expense.  Although labor costs were the primary cause of the increase in hotel operating expenses in the third quarter of 2017, these increases did moderate as compared to the same period in 2016.2019. The Company anticipates continued increases in labor costs due to government regulations surrounding wages, healthcarehas worked and other benefits, other wage-related initiatives and lower unemployment rates.  Although operating expenses will increase as revenue increases, the Company will continue to work with its management companies to reduce costs as a percentageoptimize staffing models, and adjust food and beverage offerings and other amenities, among other efficiency initiatives, to mitigate the impact of revenue where possibledeclines and cost pressures on its results of operations. For example, the Company has reduced service and amenity offerings as allowed by the relaxation of certain brand standards and the Company also successfully reduced rates under various service contracts. Although certain operating costs of a hotel are more fixed in nature, such as base utility and maintenance costs, the Company has worked and will continue to work to reduce all non-essential costs including service contracts, utilities in areas not utilized and certain maintenance costs. However, the Company may continue to see ongoing cost increases related to both labor and supplies due to scarcity. As occupancy has increased throughout the nine months ended September 30, 2021, increasing staffing to meet increased demand has been challenging, and while maintaining qualitythe Company’s hotels made progress in filling open positions during the third quarter of 2021, they have often done so at higher wage rates. Likewise, supply chain disruptions throughout the overall economy have driven shortages and service levels at each property.

Prior to COVID-19, property taxes, increased slightly during the first nine months of 2017 compared to the first nine months of 2016, with tax increases at certain locations due to the reassessment of property values by localities related to the improved economy, partially offset by decreases atinsurance and other locations due to successful appeals of tax assessments.  With the economy continuing to improve, the Company anticipates continued increases in property tax assessments during the remainder of 2017.  The Company will continue to appeal tax assessments in certain jurisdictions to attempt to minimize tax increases as warranted.


Ground Lease Expense

Ground lease expense for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 was $2.8 million and $2.6 million, respectively.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, ground lease expense was $8.52019 totaled $19.6 million and $7.6$58.5 million, respectively.  Ground lease expenserespectively, or 5.9% and 6.0% of total revenue for the respective periods.

General and Administrative Expense

General and administrative expense for the three months ended September 30, 20172021 and 20162020 was $5.4$13.3 million and $2.6$6.7 million, respectively, or 1.6%4.8% and 0.9%4.5% of total revenue respectively.for the respective periods. For the nine months ended September 30, 20172021 and 2016,2020, general and administrative expense was $18.3$29.8 million and $12.5$22.3 million, respectively, or 1.9%4.4% and 1.6%4.8% of total revenue respectively.for the respective periods. The principal components of general and administrative expense are payroll and related benefit costs, legal fees, accounting fees and reporting expenses. In addition, during the first eight months of 2016, the Company provided to Apple Ten the advisory services contemplated under their advisory agreement, and the Company received fees and reimbursement of expenses payable under the advisory agreement from Apple Ten totaling approximately $3.5 million, which were recorded as reductions to general and administrative expenses.  Effective September 1, 2016,The increases in connection with the completion of the Apple Ten merger, the advisory agreement was terminated and the Company no longer receives the fees and reimbursement of expenses payable under the advisory agreement from Apple Ten, which resulted in an increase in the Company’s general and administrative expenses from the prior period.  Although expense for the Company in total dollars increased from the prior period, since both the advisory fees and reimbursed costs received by the Company from Apple Ten were recorded as general and administrative expense by Apple Ten and as reductions to general and administrative expense by the Company, the termination of the advisory agreement had no financial impact on the combined company after the effective time of the Apple Ten merger.  General and administrative expense also increased for both the third quarter and first nine months of 2017 as compared to the prior year due to an increased accrual as of September 30, 2017 for the Company’s executive incentive plan related to better projected performance under the plan.  In comparison, the accrual for potential executive bonus payments was reduced during the third quarter of 2016 by approximately $0.8 million, due to lower than previously anticipated 2016 performance, resulting in a decrease in executive compensation expense for the period.  The increases in the third quarter and the first nine months of 2017 over the same periods of 2016 were $1.7 million and $1.0 million, respectively. 

Transaction and Litigation Costs (Reimbursements)

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, transaction and litigation costs (reimbursements) totaled approximately $(2.6) million which primarily related to the additional proceeds received in May 2017 from the Company’s directors and officers insurance carriers in connection with the Apple Ten merger litigation, as discussed herein.  Combined with the $10.0 million received in January 2017 and recorded to transaction and litigation costs (reimbursements) in the fourth quarter of 2016, total proceeds from the Company’s director and officer coverage related to the Apple Ten merger litigation were $12.6 million.  During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, transaction2021 over the three and litigation costs (reimbursements) were approximately $36.5 million and $37.9 million, respectively.  Transaction and litigation costs (reimbursements) for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 consisted primarily2020 include increased accruals of costs$5.5 million and $9.0 million, respectively, for incentive compensation related to the Apple Ten merger totaling approximately $37.6 million (including $32 million fundedanticipated higher shareholder return and operating performance in 2021 as compared to 2020. Additionally, general and administrative expense in 2020 was reduced by voluntary reductions in compensation by the Company in January 2017 to settleCompany’s Executive Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and non-employee directors on the Apple Ten merger litigation and approximately $1.8 million in legal costs incurred to defend the litigation) and other acquisition related costs totaling approximately $0.3 million.  On January 1, 2017, the Company adopted the newly issued accounting standard on business combinations that modifies the definitionBoard of a business.  Under the new guidance, acquisition of hotel properties will generally be accounted for as an acquisition of a group of assets with transaction costs associated with the acquisition capitalized as part of the cost of the asset acquired instead of expensed in the period they are incurred.  In accordance with this standard, the Company capitalized approximately $0.2 million in transaction costs related to the acquisition of three hotels during the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, interest and other expense, net was $53.1 million and $52.5 million, respectively. Interest and other expense, net for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 is net of approximately $0.1$0.9 million and $0.2 million, respectively, of interest capitalized associated with renovation projects. Additionally, interest and other expense, net for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 includes approximately $2.1 million and $2.8 million, respectively, of interest recorded on the Company’s finance lease liabilities.

Interest expense related to the Company’s debt instruments for the three months ended September 30, 2021 decreased compared to the three months ended September 30, 2020 as a result of both lower average borrowings and lower average interest rates as the Company exited the Extended Covenant Waiver Period in July 2021. Interest expense related to the Company’s debt instruments for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was virtually unchanged compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2020 as a result of lower average borrowings offset by increased interest rates on the Company’s unsecured credit facilities associated with renovation projects, respectively.the amendments to obtain covenant waivers. The increase inCompany anticipates interest expense was primarilyto be lower for the remainder of 2021 compared to the same period of 2020 due to an increasereduced average borrowings on the Company’s unsecured credit facilities and lower interest rates compared to the same period of 2020 as a result of exiting the Extended Covenant Waiver Period (as discussed below under “Liquidity and Capital Resources”). See Note 4 titled “Debt” in the Company’s average outstanding borrowings during the first nine months of 2017 as compared to 2016 which is primarily attributable to (a) mortgage debt assumedUnaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto, appearing elsewhere in the Apple Ten merger effective September 1, 2016 and (b) borrowings to fund (i) the cash payment portionthis Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, for additional discussion of the Apple Ten merger, (ii) the repayment of Apple Ten’s outstanding balance on its extinguishedCompany’s amended unsecured credit facility assumed in the Apple Ten merger and (iii) the acquisition of four hotels (one in July 2016, one in February 2017 and two in September 2017); which increases were partially offset by the sale of two hotels (one in December 2016 and one in April 2017).  The impact of higher debt balances and the increasing cost of variable rate debt was partially offset by a reduction in the average interest rate incurred on the Company’s total outstanding debt, resulting from the repayment of maturing fixed-rate mortgage debt with lower rate borrowings primarily from its $150 million term loan facility and new mortgage debt originations.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures


The Company considers the following non-GAAP financial measures useful to investors as key supplemental measures of its operating performance: Funds from Operations (“FFO”), Modified FFOFunds from Operations (“MFFO”), Earnings beforeBefore Interest,

Index

Income Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”), Earnings Before Interest, Income Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization for Real Estate (“EBITDAre”), Adjusted EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDA (“Adjusted EBITDA”).Hotel EBITDA. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered along with, but not as alternatives to, net income (loss), cash flow from operations or any other operating GAAP measure. FFO, MFFO, EBITDA, EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDAre and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA are not necessarily indicative of funds available to fund the Company’s cash needs, including its ability to make cash distributions. Although FFO, MFFO, EBITDA, EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDAre, and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA as calculated by the Company, may not be comparable to FFO, MFFO, EBITDA, EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDAre and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA as reported by other companies that do not define such terms exactly as the Company defines such terms, the Company believes these supplemental measures are useful to investors when comparing the Company’s results between periods and with other REITs.


FFO and MFFO


The Company calculates and presents FFO in accordance with standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”Nareit”), which defines FFO as net income (loss) (computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”))GAAP), excluding gains orand losses from salesthe sale of certain real estate assets (including gains and losses from change in control), extraordinary items as defined by GAAP, and the cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles, plus real estate related depreciation, amortization and impairments, and adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.affiliates. Historical cost accounting for real estate assets 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, most real estate industry investors consider FFO to be helpful in evaluating a real estate company’s operations. The Company further believes that by excluding the effects of these items, FFO is useful to investors in comparing its operating performance between periods and between REITs that report FFO using the NAREITNareit definition. FFO as presented by the Company is applicable only to its common shareholders, but does not represent an amount that accrues directly to common shareholders.



The Company calculates MFFO by further adjustsadjusting FFO for certain additional items that are not in NAREIT’s definition of FFO, including: (i) the exclusion of transactionamortization of finance ground lease assets, amortization of favorable and litigation costs (reimbursements) as these costs do not represent ongoing operationsunfavorable operating leases, net and (ii) the exclusion of non-cash straight-line operating ground lease expense, as this expense doesthese expenses do not reflect the underlying performance of the related hotels. The Company presents MFFO when evaluating its performance because it believes that it provides further useful supplemental information to investors regarding its ongoing operating performance.

EBITDA, EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDAre and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA


EBITDA is a commonly used measure of performance in many industries and is defined as net income (loss) excluding interest, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization. The Company believes EBITDA is useful to investors because it helps the Company and its investors evaluate the ongoing operating performance of the Company by removing the impact of its capital structure (primarily interest expense) and its asset base (primarily depreciation and amortization). In addition, certain covenants included in the agreements governing the Company’s indebtedness use EBITDA, as defined in the specific credit agreement, as a measure of financial compliance.


The

In addition to EBITDA, the Company considers the exclusion of certain additional items fromalso calculates and presents EBITDAre in accordance with standards established by Nareit, which defines EBITDAre as EBITDA, useful, including: (i) the exclusion of transactionexcluding gains and litigation costs (reimbursements), gains or losses from salesthe sale of real estate and the loss on impairment of depreciablecertain real estate assets as these items do not represent ongoing operations(including gains and (ii)losses from change in control), plus real estate related impairments, and adjustments to reflect the entity’s share of EBITDAre of unconsolidated affiliates. The Company presents EBITDAre because it believes that it provides further useful information to investors in comparing its operating performance between periods and between REITs that report EBITDAre using the Nareit definition.

The Company also considers the exclusion of non-cash straight-line operating ground lease expense from EBITDAre useful, as this expense does not reflect the underlying performance of the related hotels (Adjusted EBITDAre).

The Company further excludes actual corporate-level general and administrative expense for the Company from Adjusted EBITDAre (Adjusted Hotel EBITDA) to isolate property-level operational performance over which the Company’s hotel operators have direct control. The Company believes Adjusted Hotel EBITDA provides useful supplemental information to investors regarding operating performance and is used by management to measure the performance of the Company’s hotels and effectiveness of the operators of the hotels.

On July 25, 2017,Company’s operating results, the Company entered into anamendments in June 2020 that suspended the testing of the Company’s existing financial maintenance covenants under the unsecured $85 million term loan with a syndicatecredit facilities. These amendments imposed certain restrictions regarding its investing and financing activities including, but not limited to, limitations on the acquisition of commercial banks, with a maturity dateproperty, payment of July 25, 2024.  The Company used the netdistributions to shareholders, capital expenditures and use of proceeds from the $85 million term loansale of property or common shares of the Company, that applied during such testing suspension period. On March 1, 2021, as a result of the continued disruption from COVID-19 and the related uncertainty with respect to pay down the borrowingsCompany’s future operating results, the Company entered into further amendments to each of the unsecured credit facilities to extend the covenant waiver period for all but two of the Company’s existing financial maintenance covenants until the date that the compliance certificate was required to be delivered for the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2022 (unless the Company elected an earlier date) (the “Extended Covenant Waiver Period”). The testing for the Minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio and the Minimum Unsecured Interest Coverage Ratio was suspended until the compliance certificate was required to be delivered for the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2022 (unless the Company elected an earlier date).

Additionally, these amendments modified the calculation of the existing financial covenants for the first three quarterly calculations subsequent to the end of the Extended Covenant Waiver Period to annualize calculated amounts based on the period beginning with the first fiscal quarter upon exiting the Extended Covenant Waiver Period through the most recently ended fiscal

quarter. The March 2021 amendments also modified certain of the existing financial maintenance covenants to less restrictive levels upon exiting the Extended Covenant Waiver Period as follows (capitalized terms are defined in the credit agreements):

Maximum Consolidated Leverage Ratio of 8.50 to 1.00 for the first two fiscal quarters, 8.00 to 1.00 for two fiscal quarters, 7.50 to 1.00 for one fiscal quarter and then a ratio of 6.50 to 1.00 thereafter;

Minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of 1.05 to 1.00 for the first fiscal quarter, 1.25 to 1.00 for one fiscal quarter and then a ratio of 1.50 to 1.00 thereafter;

Minimum Unsecured Interest Coverage Ratio of no less than 1.25 to 1.00 for one fiscal quarter, 1.50 to 1.00 for one fiscal quarter, 1.75 to 1.00 for one fiscal quarter and a ratio of 2.00 to 1.00 thereafter; and

Maximum Unsecured Leverage Ratio of 65% for two fiscal quarters and 60% thereafter.

Except as otherwise set forth in the amendments, the terms of the credit agreements remain in effect.

In July 2021, the Company notified its lenders under its unsecured credit facilities that it had elected to exit the Extended Covenant Waiver Period effective on July 29, 2021. Upon exiting the Extended Covenant Waiver Period, the Company is no longer subject to the restrictions described above regarding its investing and financing activities that were applicable during the Extended Covenant Waiver Period, including, but not limited to, limitations on the acquisition of property, payment of distributions to shareholders, capital expenditures and use of proceeds from the sale of property or common shares of the Company. Those restrictions, including the restriction on payment of distributions to shareholders, were still in place throughout the second quarter of 2021.

The Company’s revolvingannualized results for the six months ended September 30, 2021 met the financial maintenance covenants based on the thresholds stipulated for the second fiscal quarter tested upon exiting the Extended Covenant Waiver Period as described in Note 4 titled “Debt” in the Company’s Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto, appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

See Note 54 titled “Debt” in the Company’s Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto, appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, for additional information relateda description of the Company’s debt instruments as of September 30, 2021.

On August 12, 2020, the Company entered into an equity distribution agreement pursuant to which the $85Company may sell, from time to time, up to an aggregate of $300 million term loan.


As discussed below in “Subsequent Events,” in October 2017,of its common shares under an at-the-market offering program (the “ATM Program”). During the second quarter of 2021, the Company sold the Fairfax, Virginia Marriott forapproximately 4.7 million common shares under its ATM Program at a saleweighted-average market sales price of approximately $41.5$16.26 per common share and received aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $76.0 million and proceeds net of offering costs, which included $0.9 million of commissions, of approximately $75.1 million. The Company used the net proceeds from the sale of these shares to pay down borrowings on its revolving credit facility.

facility and for general corporate purposes, including acquisitions of hotel properties. As of September 30, 2021, approximately $224.0 million remained available for issuance under the ATM Program. No shares were sold under the Company’s ATM Program in the third quarter of 2021. The Company plans to use future net proceeds from the sale of these shares to continue to pay down borrowings on its revolving credit facility (if any). The Company plans to use the corresponding increased availability under the revolving credit facility for general corporate purposes which may include, among other things, acquisitions of additional properties, the repayment of other outstanding indebtedness, capital expenditures, improvement of properties in its portfolio and working capital. The Company may also use the net proceeds to acquire another REIT or other company that invests in income producing properties.

Capital Uses


The Company anticipates that cash flow from operations, availability under its revolving credit facility,facilities, additional borrowings and proceeds from hotel dispositions and equity offerings will be adequate to meet its anticipated liquidity requirements, including debt service, hotel acquisitions, hotel renovations, share repurchases, and required distributions to shareholders (theshareholders.

Distributions

The Company is not required to make distributions at its current rate for REIT purposes) and share repurchases.


Distributions

To maintain its REIT status, the Company is required togenerally must distribute annually at least 90% of its ordinary income.  DistributionsREIT taxable income, subject to certain adjustments and excluding any net capital gain, in order to maintain its REIT status. During the Extended Covenant Waiver Period, as a requirement under the amendments to its unsecured credit facilities, the Company was restricted in its ability to make distributions except for the payment of cash distributions of $0.01 per common share per quarter or to the extent required to maintain REIT status. In March and June 2021, the Company declared quarterly distributions of $0.01 per common share, which were paid duringin April and July, respectively, totaling $0.02 per common share and $4.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 totaled approximately $200.7 million or $0.902021. Additionally, in September 2021, the Company declared a quarterly distribution of $0.01 per common share, andtotaling $2.3 million that was paid on October 18, 2021. As discussed above, in July 2021, the Company notified its lenders under its unsecured credit facilities that it had elected to exit the

Extended Covenant Waiver Period effective on July 29, 2021. As a result, upon exiting the Extended Covenant Waiver Period, the Company is no longer subject to the restrictions on distributions that were paid at a monthly rate of $0.10 per common share.  For the same period, the Company’s net cash generated from operations was approximately $280.5 million, which included a payment of approximately $19.4 million, net of reimbursements received from the Company’s directors and officers insurance carriers,applicable during the first nine months of 2017 to settle the Apple Ten merger lawsuit which is discussed in Note 10 titled “Legal Proceedings” in the Company’s Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto, appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

The Company’s current annual distribution rate, payable monthly, is $1.20 per common share.  AsCompany, as it has done historically due to seasonality, the Company may use its revolving credit facility to maintain the consistency of the monthly distribution rate,distributions, taking into consideration any acquisitions, dispositions, capital improvements and economic cycles. Any distribution will be subject to approval of the Company’s Board of Directors and there can be no assurance of the classification or duration of distributions at the current annualany particular distribution rate. The Board of Directors monitors the Company’s distribution rate relative to the performance of theits hotels on an ongoing basis and may make adjustments to the distribution rate as determined to be prudent in relation to other cash requirements of the Company. If cash flow from operations and the revolving credit facility are not adequate to meet liquidity requirements, the Company may utilize additional financing sources to make distributions. Although the Company has relatively low levels of debt, there can be no assurances it will be successful with this strategy and may need to reduce its distributions to minimum levels required levels.to maintain its qualification as a real estate investment trust. If the Company were unable to extend its maturing debt in future periods or if it were to default on its debt, it may be unable to make distributions.


Share Repurchases


In connection withMay 2021, the implementationCompany’s Board of the ATMDirectors approved a one-year extension of its existing share repurchase program, authorizing share repurchases up to an aggregate of $345 million (the “Share Repurchase Program”). The Share Repurchase Program in February 2017may be suspended or terminated at any time by the Company and will end in July 2022 if not terminated its existing written trading plan underor extended earlier. During the Company’s share repurchase program.  In January 2016,first three months of 2020, the Company purchased, under its share repurchase program,Share Repurchase Program approximately 20,0001.5 million of its common shares at a weighted-average market purchase price of approximately $18.10$9.42 per common share, for an aggregate purchase price, including commissions, of approximately $0.4$14.3 million. The shares were repurchased under a written trading plan that provided for share repurchases in open market transactions and was intended to comply with Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. In March 2020 the Company didterminated its written trading plan under the Share Repurchase Program and has not repurchaserepurchased any shares since that time.

The Company has invested in and plans to continue to reinvest in its hotels. Under certain loan and management agreements, the Company is required to place in escrow funds for the repair, replacement and refurbishing of furniture, fixtures, and equipment, based on a percentage of gross revenues, provided that such amount may be used for the Company’s capital expenditures with respect to the hotels. As of September 30, 2017,2021, the Company held $26.8approximately $27.5 million in reserve related to these properties. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017,2021, the Company invested approximately $41.9$9.7 million in capital expenditures and anticipates spending an additional $25$15-20 million during the remainder of 2017,2021, which includes various scheduled renovation projects for approximately 15eight properties. The Company does not currently have any existing or planned projects for new property development.


Hotel

Purchase Contract Commitments


As of September 30, 2017,2021, the Company had separate outstanding contracts for the potential purchase of four additionalfive hotels, consisting of one hotel in Madison, Wisconsin, one hotel in Memphis, Tennessee, two hotels in Fort Worth, Texas and one hotel in Portland, Oregon for a total combined purchase price of approximately $146.1$242.6 million. TwoFour of the hotels the Salt Lake City Residence Inn and the Portland Residence Inn, which are already in operation were acquiredand one is under development and scheduled to open no earlier than 2023.

Cash Management Activities


As part of the cost sharing arrangements discussed in Note 76 titled “Related Parties” in the Company’s Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto, appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, certain day-to-day transactions may result in amounts due to or from the Company and Apple Realty Group, Inc. (“ARG”).ARG. To efficiently manage cash disbursements, the Company or ARG may make payments for the other company. Under the cash management process, each company may advance or defer up to $1 million at any time. Each quarter, any outstanding amounts are settled between the companies. This process allows each company to minimize its cash on hand and reduces the cost for each company. The amounts outstanding at any point in time are not significant to either of the companies.

Impact of Inflation

Operators of hotels, in general, possess the ability to adjust room rates daily to reflect the effects of inflation.  Competitive pressures may, however, limit the operators’ ability to raise room rates.  Currently the Company is not experiencing any material impact from inflation.

Business Interruption


Being in the real estate industry, the Company is exposed to natural disasters on both a local and national scale. Although management believes there is adequate insurance to cover this exposure, there can be no assurance that such events will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.


Seasonality


The hotel industry historically has been seasonal in nature. Seasonal variations in occupancy at the Company’s hotels may cause quarterly fluctuations in its revenues. Generally, occupancy rates and hotel revenues are greater in the second and third quarters than in the first and fourth quarters. However, due to the effects of COVID-19, these typical seasonal patterns were disrupted in 2020 and the first nine months of 2021 and may also be disrupted in the remainder of 2021. To the extent that cash flow from operations is insufficient during any quarter, due to temporary or seasonal fluctuations in revenue, the Company expects to utilize cash on hand or available financing sources to meet cash requirements.


New Accounting Standards
