1. Organization
Organization
Chatham Lodging Trust (“we,” “us” or the “Company”) was formed as a Maryland real estate investment trust (“REIT”) on October 26, 2009. The Company is internally-managed and invests primarily in upscale extended-stay and premium-branded select-service hotels.
In January 2014, the Company established an At the Market Equity Offering ("Prior ATM Plan") whereby, from time to time, we may publicly offer and sell our common shares having an aggregate maximum offering price of up to $50 million by means of ordinary brokers’ transactions on the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE"), in negotiated transactions or in transactions that are deemed to be “at the market” offerings as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933. The Company filed a $100 million registration statement for a new ATM program (the "ATM Plan" and together with the Prior ATM Plan, the "ATM Plans") on December 28, 2017 to replace the prior program. At the same time, the Company entered into sales agreements with Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. ("Cantor"), Barclays Capital Inc. (“Barclays”), Robert W. Baird & Co. Incorporated, ("Baird"), Citigroup Global Markets Inc. ("Citigroup"), Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated ("Stifel") and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC ("Wells Fargo") as sales agents. During the three months ended September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, we issued 0 shares under the ATM Plan. As of September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, there was approximately $90.4 million available for issuance under the ATM Plan.
In January 2014, the Company established a $25 million dividend reinvestment and stock purchase plan (the "Prior DRSPP"). We filed a new $50 million shelf registration statement for the dividend reinvestment and stock purchase plan (the "New DRSPP" and together with the Prior DRSPP, the "DRSPPs") on December 28, 2017 to replace the prior program. Under the DRSPPs, shareholders may purchase additional common shares by reinvesting some or all of the cash dividends received on the Company's common shares. Shareholders may also make optional cash purchases of the Company's common shares subject to certain limitations detailed in the prospectus for the DRSPPs. During the three months ended September 30, 2019March 31, 2020, we issued 4,5537,428 shares under the New DRSPP at a weighted average price of $17.73,$12.51, which generated $0.1 million of proceeds. As of September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, there was approximately $28.0$27.8 million available for issuance under the New DRSPP.
The net proceeds from any share offerings or issuances are contributed to Chatham Lodging, L.P., our operating partnership (the “Operating Partnership”), in exchange for partnership interests. Substantially all of the Company’s assets are held by, and all operations are conducted through, the Operating Partnership. Chatham Lodging Trust is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership and owns 100.0% of the common units of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership. Certain of the Company’s executive officers hold vested and unvested long-term incentive plan units in the Operating Partnership ("LTIP units"), which are presented as non-controlling interests on our consolidated balance sheets.
As of September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, the Company wholly owned 40 hotels with an aggregate of 6,092 rooms located in 15 states and the District of Columbia. As of September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, the Company also (i) held a 10.3% noncontrolling interest in a joint venture (the “NewINK JV”) with affiliates of Colony Capital, Inc. ("CLNY"), which currently owns 4746 hotels acquired from a joint venture (the "Innkeepers JV") between the Company and Cerberus Capital Management ("Cerberus"), comprising 6,0985,948 rooms and (ii) held a 10% noncontrolling interest in a separate joint venture (the "Inland JV") with CLNY, which owns 48 hotels acquired from Inland American Real Estate Trust, Inc. ("Inland"), comprising an aggregate of 6,402 rooms. We sometimes use the term "JVs", which refers collectively to the NewINK JV and Inland JV.
To qualify as a REIT, the Company cannot operate the hotels. Therefore, the Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries lease the Company's wholly owned hotels to taxable REIT subsidiary lessees (“TRS Lessees”), which are wholly owned by the Company’s taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”) holding company. The Company indirectly (i) owns its 10.3% interest in the 4746 NewINK JV hotels and (ii) owns its 10% interest in the 48 Inland JV hotels through the Operating Partnership. All of the NewINK JV hotels and Inland JV hotels are leased to TRS Lessees, in which the Company indirectly owns noncontrolling interests through its TRS holding company. Each hotel is leased to a TRS Lessee under a percentage lease that provides for rental payments equal to the greater of (i) a fixed base rent amount or (ii) a percentage rent based on hotel revenue. The initial term of each of the TRS leases is 5 years. Lease revenue from each TRS Lessee is eliminated in consolidation.
The TRS Lessees have entered into management agreements with third-party management companies that provide day-to-day management for the hotels. As of September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, Island Hospitality Management LLC (“IHM”), which is 52.5% owned by Jeffrey H. Fisher, the Company's Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, managed all 40 of the Company’s wholly owned hotels. As of September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, all of the NewINK JV hotels were managed by IHM. As of September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, 34 of the Inland JV hotels were managed by IHM and 14 of the Inland JV hotels were managed by Marriott International, Inc. ("Marriott").
Liquidity
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the effects of travel restrictions both globally and in the United States, the hospitality industry has experienced drastic drops in demand. We believe the ongoing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on our operations have had, and will continue to have, a material negative impact on our financial results and cash flows, and such negative impact may continue beyond the containment of the pandemic. On May 6, 2020, we amended our credit facility to suspend financial covenants through March 31, 2021 and provide access to the entire $250 million facility size. We have also taken additional measures to improve our liquidity, including reducing operating expenses, deferring capital expenditures, and suspending dividends. Based on the successful amendment of our credit facility and the steps we have taken to reduce hotel operating costs, delay capital expenditures and suspend dividends, we believe that we have sufficient liquidity to satisfy our obligations for the next twelve months.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and in conformity with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) applicable to interim financial information. These unaudited consolidated financial statements, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments consisting of normal, recurring adjustments which are considered necessary for a fair statement of the consolidated balance sheets, consolidated statements of operations, consolidated statements of equity, and consolidated statements of cash flows for the periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of full year performance due to seasonal and other factors, including the timing of the acquisition or sale of hotels.
The consolidated financial statements include all of the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP, and the related notes thereto as of December 31, 2018,2019, which are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018.
Reclassifications
Certain prior period revenue and expense amounts in the consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to be comparable to the current period presentations. The reclassification did not have any impact on net income. In addition, in accordance with the SEC’s Disclosure Update and Simplification release, dated August 18, 2018, the Company reclassified the Gain (loss) on sale of hotel property line on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations within Operating income for all periods presented.2019.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Recently Adopted Accounting Policies
On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted accounting guidance under Accounting Standards Codification (ASU) 2016-02 (“ASU 2016-02”), Leases, which relates to the accounting for leasing transactions. On February 25, 2016, the FASB issued updated accounting guidance which sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both parties to a contract (i.e., lessees and lessors). The new accounting guidance requires lessees to apply a dual approach, classifying leases as either finance or operating leases based on whether or not the lease is effectively a financed purchase by the lessee. The classification of the lease will determine whether lease expense is recognized based on an effective interest method or on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. A lessee is also required to record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases. We adopted the new accounting guidance on January 1, 2019 and applied it based on the optional transition method provided for, which allows entities to recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the balance sheet on the adoption date. Upon adoption, we applied the package of practical expedients made available under the new accounting guidance and also make an accounting policy election to not recognize right-of-use assets or lease liabilities for leases with terms of 12 months or less. For our ground lease agreements and corporate office lease agreement, all of which are currently
accounted for as operating leases, we recognized lease liabilities of $25.7 million with corresponding right-of use assets of $23.1 million our consolidated balance sheet as of January 1, 2019.
3. Acquisition of Hotel Properties
Hotel Purchase Price Allocation
We acquired the Residence Inn Summerville ("RI Summerville") hotel in Summerville, SC for $20.8 million on August 27, 2018 and the Courtyard Dallas Downtown ("Dallas DT") hotel in Dallas, TX for $49.0 million on December 5, 2018.

The value of the assets acquired was primarily based on a sales comparison approach (for land) and a depreciated replacement cost approach (for building and improvements and furniture, fixtures and equipment). The sales comparison approach uses inputs of recent land sales in the respective hotel markets. The depreciated replacement cost approach uses inputs of both direct and indirect replacement costs using a nationally recognized authority on replacement cost information as well as the age, square footage and number of rooms of the respective assets. Property acquisition costs of $0.0 million and $0.2 million, respectively were capitalized in 2019 and 2018.

JV.
On May 9, 2017, the NewINK JV refinanced the $840.0 million loan collateralized by the 47 hotels then owned with a new $850.0 million loan. The new non-recourse loan is with Morgan Stanley Bank, N.A. The new loan bearsan interest at a rate of LIBOR plus a spread of 2.79%, had an initial maturity date of June 7, 2019 and 3 one-year extension options. The NewINK JV exercised the first extension and the maturity has beenwas extended to June 7, 2020. On November 7, 2019, the NewINK JV refinanced the $850.0 million loan with a new $855.0 million non-recourse loan from Morgan Stanley Bank, N.A., JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association, and Bank of America, N.A. (collectively the "Lender"), collateralized by the then owned 46 hotels. The new loan bears interest at a rate of LIBOR plus a spread of 2.82%, has an initial maturity of November 7, 2021 and 5 one-year extension options.
On June 9, 2017, the Inland JV refinanced the $817.0 million loan collateralized by the 48 hotels with a new $780.0 million non-recourse loan with Column Financial, Inc. On June 9, 2017, the Company contributed an additional $5.0 million of capital related to its share in the Inland JV to reduce the debt collateralized by the 48 hotels. The new loan bears interest at a rate of LIBOR plus a spread of 3.3%, had an initial maturity date of July 9, 2019 and 3 one-year extension options. The Inland JV exercised the first extension and the maturity has beenwas extended to July 9, 2020.
The Company’s ownership interests in the JVs are subject to change in the event that either the Company or CLNY calls for additional capital contributions to the respective JVs necessary for the conduct of business, including contributions to fund costs and expenses related to capital expenditures. In connection with (i) the non-recourse mortgage loan secured by the NewINK JV properties and the related non-recourse mezzanine loan secured by the membership interests in the owners of the NewINK JV properties and (ii) the non-recourse mortgage loan secured by the Inland JV properties, the Operating Partnership provided the applicable lenders with customary environmental indemnities, as well as guarantees of certain customary non-recourse carve-out provisions such as fraud, material and intentional misrepresentations and misapplication of funds. In some circumstances, such as the bankruptcy of the applicable borrowers, the guarantees are for the full amount of the outstanding debt, but in most circumstances, the guarantees are capped at 15% of the debt outstanding at the time in question (in the case of the NewINK JV loans) or 20% of the debt outstanding at the time in question (in the case of the Inland JV loans). In connection with each of the NewINK JV and Inland JV loans, the Operating Partnership has entered into a contribution agreement with its JV partner whereby the JV partner is, in most cases, responsible to cover such JV partner’s pro rata share of any amounts due by the Operating Partnership under the applicable guarantees and environmental indemnities. The Company manages the JVs and will receive a promote interest in each applicable JV if it meets certain return thresholds for such JV. CLNY may also approve certain actions by the JVs without the Company’s consent, including certain property dispositions conducted at arm’s length, certain actions related to the restructuring of the applicable JV and removal of the Company as managing member in the event the Company fails to fulfill its material obligations under the applicable joint venture agreement.
During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company determined that an other than temporary decline in the value of its equity investment in the Inland JV had occurred. The Inland JV’s operating performance has been significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The Inland JV has high leverage, limited liquidity and limited ability to fund the current level of operating losses caused by the COVID-19 pandemic for a sustained period of time. Based on these factors, we have assessed that the fair market value of our equity investment in the Inland JV is $0 and the Company did not consider the investment recoverable and therefore recorded an impairment of $15.3 million on the investment.
The Company's recorded investments in the NewINK JV and the Inland JV were $(11.7)$(16.2) million and $19.5$0.0 million, respectively, at September 30, 2019.March 31, 2020.

As of each reporting date, the Company's management considers new evidence, both positive and negative, that could impact management's view with regard to future realization of deferred tax assets. The Company's TRS is expecting increasedcontinued taxable losses in 2019.2020. As of September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, the TRS continues to recognize a full valuation allowance equal to 100% of the grossnet deferred tax assets, with the exception of the AMT tax credit, due to the uncertainty of the TRS's ability to utilize these net deferred tax assets. Management will continue to monitor the need for a valuation allowance.
During the third quarter of 2018, the Company was notified that the tax return of the Company's TRS was going to be examined by the Internal Revenue Service for the tax year ended December 31, 2016. The examination remains open. The Company believes it does not need to record a liability related to matters contained in the tax period open to examination. However, should the Company experience an unfavorable outcome in the matter, such outcome could have a material impact on its results of operations, financial position and cash flows.

11.10. Earnings Per Share
The two-class method is used to determine earnings per share because unvested restricted shares and unvested LTIP units are considered to be participating shares. The LTIP units held by the non-controlling interest holders, which may be converted to common shares of beneficial interest, have been excluded from the denominator of the diluted earnings per share calculation as there would be no effect on the amounts since limited partners' share of income or loss would also be added back to net income or loss. Unvested restricted shares, unvested long-term incentive plan units and unvested Class A Performance LTIP units that could potentially dilute basic earnings per share in the future would not be included in the computation of diluted loss per share, for the periods where a loss has been recorded, because they would have been anti-dilutive for the periods presented. The following is a reconciliation of the amounts used in calculating basic and diluted net income per share (in thousands, except share and per share data):

12.11. Equity Incentive Plan
The Company maintains its Equity Incentive Plan to attract and retain independent trustees, executive officers and other key employees and service providers. The plan provides for the grant of options to purchase common shares, share awards, share appreciation rights, performance units and other equity-based awards. The plan was amended and restated as of May 17, 2013 to increase the maximum number of shares available under the plan to 3,000,000 shares. Share awards under this plan generally vest over three years, though compensation for the Company’s independent trustees includes share grants that vest immediately. The Company pays dividends on unvested shares and units, except for performance-based shares and outperformance based units, for which dividends on unvested performance-based shares and units are accrued and not paid until those shares or units vest. Certain awards may provide for accelerated vesting if there is a change in control. In January 20192020 and 2018,2019, the Company issued 27,87024,516 and 21,67027,870 common shares, respectively, to its independent trustees as compensation for services performed in 20182019 and 2017,2018, respectively. As of September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, there were 1,150,806760,748 common shares available for issuance under the Equity Incentive Plan.
Restricted Share Awards
From time to time, the Company may award restricted shares under the Equity Incentive Plan as compensation to officers, employees and non-employee trustees. The Company recognizes compensation expense for the restricted shares on a straight-line basis over the vesting period based on the fair market value of the shares on the date of issuance.
A summary of the Company’s restricted share awards for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2019March 31, 2020 and the year ended December 31, 20182019 is as follows:

As of September 30, 2019March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2018,2019, there were $0.1 million$50.3 thousand and $0.1 million,$105.5 thousand, respectively, of unrecognized compensation costs related to restricted share awards. As of September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, these costs were expected to be recognized over a weighted–average period of approximately 2.01.7 years. For the three months ended September 30,March 31, 2020 and 2019, and 2018, the Company recognized approximately $15.7$8.3 thousand and $8.4 thousand, respectively, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company recognized approximately $47.0 thousand and $94.7$15.7 thousand, respectively, of expense related to the restricted share awards.
Long-Term Incentive Plan Awards
LTIP units are a special class of partnership interests in the Operating Partnership which may be issued to eligible participants for the performance of services to or for the benefit of the Company. Under the Equity Incentive Plan, each LTIP unit issued is deemed equivalent to an award of one common share thereby reducing the number of shares available for other equity awards on a 1-for-one basis.
A summary of the Company's LTIP Unit awards for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2019March 31, 2020 and the year ended December 31, 20182019 is as follows:

Outperformance Plan LTIP Awards
On June 1, 2015, the Company's Operating Partnership granted 183,300 Class A Performance LTIP units, as recommended by the Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Compensation Committee”), pursuant to a long-term, multi-year performance plan (the “Outperformance Plan”). As of June 1, 2018, the Class A Performance LTIP units did not meet the required market based Total Shareholder Return ("TSR") measurements and therefore, the accrued dividends and units have been forfeited. The Company will continue to amortize the remaining expense related to these awards over the eightnext two months due to the awards being market based.
Time-Based LTIP Awards
On March 1, 2019,2020, the Company’s Operating Partnership, upon the recommendation of the Compensation Committee, granted 88,746130,206 time-based awards (the “2019“2020 Time-Based LTIP Unit Award”). The grants were made pursuant to award agreements that provide for time-based vesting (the "LTIP Unit Time-Based Vesting Agreement").
Time-based LTIP Unit Awards will vest ratably provided that the recipient remains employed by the Company through the applicable vesting date, subject to acceleration of vesting in the event of the recipient’s death, disability, termination without cause or resignation with good reason, or in the event of a change of control of the Company. Prior to vesting, a holder is entitled to receive distributions on the LTIP Units that comprise the 20192020 Time-Based LTIP Unit Awards and the prior year LTIP unit Awards set forth in the table above.
Performance-Based LTIP Awards
On March 1, 2019,2020, the Company's Operating Partnership, upon the recommendation of the Compensation Committee, also granted 133,107195,301 performance-based awards (the "2019"2020 Performance-Based LTIP Unit Awards"). The grants were made pursuant to award agreements that have market based vesting conditions. The Performance-Based LTIP Unit Awards are comprised of Class A Performance LTIP Units that will vest only if and to the extent that (i) the Company achieves certain long-term market based TSR criteria established by the Compensation Committee and (ii) the recipient remains employed by the Company through the applicable vesting date, subject to acceleration of vesting in the event of the recipient’s death, disability, termination without cause or resignation with good reason, or in the event of a change of control of the Company. Compensation expense is based on an estimated value of $18.91$13.66 per 20192020 Performance-Based LTIP Unit Award, which takes into account that some or all of the awards may not vest if long-term market based TSR criteria are not met during the vesting period.
The 20192020 Performance-Based LTIP Unit Awards may be earned based on the Company’s relative TSR performance for the three-year period beginning on March 1, 20192020 and ending on February 28, 2022.2023. The 20192020 Performance-Based LTIP Unit Awards, if earned, will be paid out between 50% and 150% of target value as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| Relative TSR Hurdles (Percentile) | | Payout Percentage |
Threshold | 25th | | | 50% | |
Target | 50th | | | 100% | |
Maximum | 75th | | | 150% | |
Payouts at performance levels in between the hurdles will be calculated by straight-line interpolation.
The Company estimated the aggregate compensation cost to be recognized over the service period determined as of the grant date under ASC 718, excluding the effect of estimated forfeitures, using a Monte Carlo approach. In determining the discounted value of the LTIP units, the Company considered the inherent uncertainty that the LTIP units would never reach parity with the other common units of the Operating Partnership and thus have an economic value of zero to the grantee. Additional factors considered in estimating the value of LTIP units included discounts for illiquidity; expectations for future dividends; risk free interest rates; stock price volatility; and economic environment and market conditions.
The grant date fair values of the LTIPs and the assumptions used to estimate the values are as follows:
| | | Grant Date | Number of Units Granted | Estimated Value Per Unit | Volatility | Dividend Yield | Risk Free Interest Rate | | Grant Date | Number of Units Granted | Estimated Value Per Unit | Volatility | Dividend Yield | Risk Free Interest Rate |

15. Subsequent Events
On May 6, 2020, Chatham executed an amendment to its credit facility that provides for the waiver of certain financial covenants through March 31, 2021 and allows Chatham to borrow up to the entire $250 million facility size during this period. The amendment also provides for a waiver of cross-default provisions related to up to $125 million of non-recourse mortgage debt during the modification period. During this covenant waiver period, Chatham will be required to maintain a minimum liquidity of $25 million which will include both unrestricted cash and credit facility availability. For the first three quarters after financial covenants are reinstated on June 30, 2021, EBITDA and net operating income figures used to calculate covenant compliance and borrowing base availability will be based on annualized amounts. In connection with the amendment, Chatham added six hotels to the credit facility’s borrowing base which now has a total of 18 properties. The amendment provided Chatham’s credit facility lenders with pledges of the equity in the 18 borrowing base hotels. Chatham has 6 additional hotels that are not a part of the credit facility’s borrowing base and do not serve as collateral for existing mortgage loans. During the covenant waiver period interest will be calculated as LIBOR (subject to a 0.5% floor) plus a spread of 2.5% if borrowings remain at or below $200 million and a spread of 3.0% if borrowings exceed $200 million. The amendment places additional limits on Chatham’s ability to incur debt, pay dividends, and make capital expenditures during the covenant waiver period. During the modification period, Chatham is generally not allowed to incur debt except for debt borrowed under the credit facility, refinancing debt, up to $40 million of construction debt to finance the Warner Center hotel project, $10 million of qualified government debt, and up to $12 million of any incremental principal of non-recourse mortgage debt arising from the deferral of interest payments. During the modification period, common share dividends are allowed but limited to 100 percent of REIT taxable income, and any dividends paid would include a cash component no greater than the minimum percentage allowed under the Internal Revenue Code. During the modification period, capital expenditures are limited to $7.5 million for the completion of renovations that have already commenced, $5 million of discretionary capital expenditures, capital expenditures incurred in connection with emergency repairs, life safety repairs, ordinary course maintenance, or as required by law or franchisors, $10 million related to the Warner Center project if a development loan is not obtained, and up to $5 million in excess the total proceeds raised from a Warner Center development loan if such loan is obtained. Chatham paid a fee of 0.1% to lenders that consented to the amendment based on their level of credit facility commitments.
On April 7, 2020 the NewINK JV failed to make a debt service payment related to its $855.0 million loan. The NewINK JV failed to make an additional debt service payment on May 7, 2020. The failure to make the required debt service payments is an event of default under the NewINK loan agreement and could result in a foreclosure by the lender. The NewINK JV is attempting to negotiate a forbearance agreement with the lender but cannot provide any assurance that such an agreement will be reached. The NewINK JV debt is non-recourse to Chatham with the exception of customary non-recourse carve-out provisions such as fraud, material and intentional misrepresentations and misapplication of funds. A default under the NewINK loan agreement does not trigger a cross-default under any of Chatham’s debt agreements.
On April 9, 2020 the Inland JV failed to make a debt service payment related to its $780.0 million loan. The Inland JV failed to make an additional debt service payment on May 9, 2020. The failure to make the required debt service payments is an event of default under the Inland loan agreement and could result in a foreclosure by the lender. The Inland JV is attempting to negotiate a forbearance agreement with the lender but cannot provide any assurance that such an agreement will be reached.
The Inland JV debt is non-recourse to Chatham with the exception of customary non-recourse carve-out provisions such as fraud, material and intentional misrepresentations and misapplication of funds. A default under the Inland loan agreement does not trigger a cross-default under any of Chatham’s debt agreements.
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Dollar amounts presented in this Item 2 are in thousands, except per share data, unless otherwise specified.
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this report and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.2019. In this report, we use the terms “the Company," “we” or “our” to refer to Chatham Lodging Trust and its consolidated subsidiaries, unless the context indicates otherwise.
COVID-19 Pandemic
The lodging industry has been significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Steps have been taken to restrict inbound international travel and there has been a significant decline in domestic travel. The full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the lodging industry continues to evolve and will depend on future developments including the duration and spread of the outbreak, the length of governmental stay-at-home orders, and the strength and timing of an economic recovery. All of these factors are uncertain, and the full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the lodging industry and the Company cannot be predicted at this time. The full magnitude of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s financial condition, liquidity, and future results of operations will depend on future developments which are highly uncertain. The Company has taken actions to mitigate the operating and financial impact of the COVID-19 pandemic including suspending monthly dividends, reducing 2020 capital expenditures, borrowing under its credit facility, and temporarily reducing executive compensation.
Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information
The following information contains forward-looking statements, including those with regard to the potential future impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). These forward-looking statements include information about possible or assumed future results of the lodging industry and our business, financial condition, liquidity, results of operations, cash flow and plans and objectives. These statements generally are characterized by the use of the words “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “plan,” “continue,” “intend,” “should,” “may” or similar expressions. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions, our actual results could differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements. Important factors that we think could cause our actual results to differ materially from expected results are summarized below. One of the most significant factors, however, is the ongoing impact of the current outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic on the United States, regional and global economies, the broader financial markets, our customers and employees, governmental responses thereto and the operation changes we have and may implement in response thereto. The current outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has also impacted, and is likely to continue to impact, directly or indirectly, many of the other important factors below. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict which factors will arise. In addition, we cannot assess the impact of each factor on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. In particular, it is difficult to fully assess the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic at this time due to, among other factors, uncertainty regarding the severity and duration of the outbreak domestically and internationally and the effectiveness of federal, state and local governments' efforts to contain the spread of COVID-19 and respond to its direct and indirect impact on the U.S. economy and economic activity. Some factors that might cause such a difference include the following: local, national and global economic conditions, increased direct competition, changes in government regulations or accounting rules, changes in local, national and global real estate conditions, declines in lodging industry fundamentals, increased operating costs, seasonality of the lodging industry, our ability to obtain debt and equity financing on satisfactory terms, changes in interest rates, our ability to identify suitable investments, our ability to close on identified investments, and inaccuracies of our accounting estimates.estimates and the uncertainty and economic impact of pandemics, epidemics or other public health emergencies or fear of such events, such as the recent COVID-19 pandemic. Given these uncertainties, undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. We undertake no obligation to publicly release the results of any revisions to these forward-looking statements that may be made to reflect future events or circumstances or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. The forward-looking statements should also be read in light of the risk factors identified in the “Risk Factors” section in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20182019 as updated by the Company's subsequent filings with the SEC under the Exchange Act.Act, included this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2020.
Overview
We are a self-advised hotel investment company organized in October 2009 that commenced operations in April 2010. Our investment strategy is to invest in upscale extended-stay and premium-branded select-service hotels in geographically diverse markets with high barriers to entry near strong demand generators. We may acquire portfolios of hotels or single hotels. We expect that a significant portion of our portfolio will consist of hotels in the upscale extended-stay or select-service categories, including brands such as Homewood Suites by Hilton®, Residence Inn by Marriott®, Hyatt Place®, Courtyard by Marriott®, SpringHill Suites by Marriott®, Hilton Garden Inn by Hilton®, Embassy Suites®, Hampton Inn® and Hampton Inn and Suites®.
The Company's future hotel acquisitions may be funded by issuances of both common and preferred shares or the issuance of partnership interests in our operating partnership, Chatham Lodging, L.P. (the "Operating Partnership"), draw-downs under our senior unsecured revolving credit facility, the incurrence or assumption of debt, available cash, proceeds from dispositions of assets or distributions from our 10.3% investment in a joint venture with affiliates of Colony Capital, Inc. (“CLNY”) that owns 4746 hotels (the "NewINK JV") or distributions from our 10.0% investment in a joint venture with CLNY that owns 48 hotels (the "Inland JV" and together with the NewINK JV, the "JVs"). We intend to acquire quality assets at attractive prices and improve their returns through knowledgeable asset management and seasoned, proven hotel management while remaining prudently leveraged.
At September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, our leverage ratio was 34.0%35.6% measured as the ratio of our net debt (total debt outstanding before deferred financing costs less unrestricted cash and cash equivalents) to hotel investments at cost, including the JV investments. Over the past several years, we have maintained a leverage ratio between the mid-30s and the low 50s to fund our acquisitions and JV investments. As of September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, we have total debt of $585.1$667.6 million at an average interest rate of approximately 4.6%4.4%. Accordingly, our debt coverage ratios currently are favorable and, as a result, we are comfortable in this leverage range and believe we have the capacity and flexibility to take advantage of acquisition opportunities as they arise. We intend to continue to fund our investments with a prudent balance of debt and equity.
We are a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for federal income tax purposes. In order to qualify as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), we cannot operate our hotels. Therefore, our Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries lease our hotel properties to taxable REIT subsidiary lessees (“TRS Lessees”), who in turn engage eligible independent contractors to manage the hotels. Each of the TRS Lessees is treated as a taxable REIT subsidiary for federal income tax purposes and is consolidated within our financial statements for accounting purposes. However, since we control both the Operating Partnership and the TRS Lessees, our principal source of funds on a consolidated basis is from the operations of our hotels. The earnings of the TRS Lessees are subject to taxation as regular C corporations, as defined in the Code, potentially reducing the TRS Lessees’ cash available to pay dividends to us, and therefore our funds from operations and the cash available for distribution to our shareholders.
Financial Condition andKey Indicators of Operating Performance Metrics
and Financial Condition
We measure our financial condition and hotel operating performance by evaluating non-financial and financial metrics and measures such as:
•Average Daily Rate (“ADR”), which is the quotient of room revenue divided by total rooms sold,
•Occupancy, which is the quotient of total rooms sold divided by total rooms available,
•Revenue Per Available Room (“RevPAR”),
•Average Daily Rate (“ADR”),
•Occupancy, which is the product of occupancy and ADR, and does not include food and beverage revenue, or other operating revenue,
•Funds From Operations (“FFO”),
•Adjusted FFO,
•Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”),
•EBITDAre,
•Adjusted EBITDA, and
•Adjusted Hotel EBITDA.
We evaluate the hotels in our portfolio and potential acquisitions using these metrics to determine each hotel’s contribution toward providing income to our shareholders through increases in distributable cash flow and increasing long-term total returns through appreciation in the value of our common shares. RevPAR, ADR and Occupancy are hotel industry measures commonly used to evaluate operating performance. RevPAR, which is calculated as total room revenue divided by total number of available rooms, is an important metric for monitoring hotel operating performance, and more specifically hotel revenue.

Room revenue was $229.9 million and $226.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, with $7.2 million of the increase in 2019 attributable to the two hotels acquired during 2018, offset by a loss of room revenue attributable to the two hotels sold in 2019 of $1.8 million. For the 38 comparable hotels owned by us throughout the 2019 and 2018 periods, room revenue was down $1.5 million.
Food and beverage revenue was $7.4 million, for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, up $0.8 million, compared to $6.6 million for the corresponding 2018 period. Food and beverage revenue related to the hotels acquired in 2018 contributed $0.6 million of the increase with the remaining increase at the 38 comparable hotels.
Other operating revenue, comprised of parking, meeting room, gift shop, in-room movie and other ancillary amenities revenue, was $12.1 million and $10.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The hotels acquired in 2018 contributed $0.6 million of the increase and the 38 comparable hotels owned by us throughout the 2019 and 2018 periods contributed $1.2 million. The increase in other operating revenue at the 38 comparable hotels related primarily to miscellaneous room revenue and parking.
Cost reimbursements from unconsolidated real estate entities, comprised of payroll costs at the JVs and an entity, Castleblack, which is 97.5% owned by affiliates of CLNY and 2.5% by Mr. Fisher, where the Company is the employer, were $4.2 million and $4.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The cost reimbursements were offset by the reimbursed costs from unconsolidated real estate entities included in operating expenses.
As reported by Smith Travel Research, industry RevPAR for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 increased 1.0% and 3.1%, respectively, in the 2019 and 2018 periods as compared to the respective prior year periods. RevPAR at our 40 wholly owned comparable hotels decreased 0.5% and decreased 0.1%, respectively, in the 2019 and 2018 periods as compared to the respective prior year periods primarily due to lower growth in the upscale segment in which most of our hotels operate and lower growth in our specific markets primarily due to new supply.
In the table below, we present both actual and same property room revenue metrics. Actual Occupancy, ADR and RevPAR metrics reflect the performance of the hotels for the actual days such hotels were owned by the Company during the periods presented. Same property Occupancy, ADR, and RevPAR results for the 40 hotels wholly owned by the Company as of September 30, 2019 that have been in operation for a full year regardless of our ownership during the period presented, which is a non-GAAP financial measure. Results for the hotels for periods prior to our ownership were provided to us by prior owners and have not been adjusted by us.

Total hotel operating expenses | $ | 131,867 | | | $ | 128,207 | | | 2.9 | % |
Hotel operating expenses increased $3.7 million to $131.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 from $128.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The two hotels acquired in 2018 contributed $4.4 million of the increase, offset by a decrease of $1.1 million at the two hotels sold in 2019 and the balance of the increase of $0.4 million was at the 38 comparable hotels primarily due to increasing labor and benefit costs and miscellaneous room expense.
Room expenses, which are the most significant component of hotel operating expenses, increased $1.4 million from $47.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 to $49.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The increase due to the two hotels acquired in 2018 was $1.3 million, offset by the sale of the two hotels in 2019 of $0.4 million. For the 38 comparable hotels owned by us throughout the 2019 and 2018 periods, room expense was up $0.5 million, primarily due to increasing labor and benefit costs.
The remaining hotel operating expenses increased $2.2 million, from $80.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 to $82.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The increase due to the two hotels acquired in 2018 was $3.0 million, offset by a reduction from the sale of the two hotels in 2019 of $0.7 million and the balance of the decrease of $0.1 million at the 38 comparable hotels.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization expense increased $2.8 million from $35.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 to $38.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. Depreciation related to the two hotels acquired in 2018 contributed $1.8 million of the increase, offset by a reduction of $0.2 million from the sale of the two hotels in 2019 and an increase at the 38 comparable hotels owned by us throughout the 2019 and 2018 periods of $1.2 million due to renovations. Depreciation is generally recorded on our assets over 40 years for buildings, 20 years for land improvements, 15 years for building improvements and one to ten years for furniture, fixtures and equipment from the date of acquisition on a straight-line basis. Depreciable lives of hotel furniture, fixtures and equipment are generally assumed to be the difference between the date of acquisition and the date that the furniture, fixtures and equipment will be replaced. Amortization of franchise fees is recorded on a straight-line basis over the term of the respective franchise agreement.
Property Taxes, Ground Rent and Insurance
Total property taxes, ground rent and insurance expenses increased $0.8 million from $17.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 to $18.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. $1.0 million of the increase is due to the two hotels that were acquired in 2018, offset by a reduction of $0.2 million from the two hotels sold in 2019.
General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses principally consist of employee-related costs, including base payroll, bonuses and amortization of restricted stock and awards of LTIP units. These expenses also include corporate operating costs, professional fees and trustees’ fees. Total general and administrative expenses (excluding amortization of stock based compensation of $3.5 million and $3.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively) decreased $0.6 million to $7.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 from $7.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 with the decrease primarily due to professional, travel, franchise taxes, design costs and office expenses.
Other Charges
Other charges increased $0.1 million from $0.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 to $0.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. Other charges primarily include costs related to due diligence for possible acquisitions that were not completed in 2018 and insurance deductibles in 2019.
Reimbursed Costs from Unconsolidated Real Estate Entities
Reimbursed costs from unconsolidated real estate entities, comprised of corporate payroll costs at the JVs and an entity, Castleblack, which is 97.5% owned by affiliates of CLNY and 2.5% by Mr. Fisher, where the Company is the employer, were $4.2 million and $4.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The cost reimbursements were offset by the cost reimbursements from unconsolidated real estate entities included in revenues.
Gain (loss) on Sale of Hotel Property
Loss on sale of hotel property increased $3.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2018 due to the sale of the Courtyard Altoona, PA on May 7, 2019 and the SpringHill Suites Washington, PA on May 15, 2019 and no comparable loss in 2018.
Interest and Other Income
Interest on cash and cash equivalents and other income decreased $0.2 million from $0.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 to $0.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The decrease is primarily related to fees received for services provided to an entity, Castleblack, which is 97.5% owned by CLNY and reimbursements from escrow accounts from previous lenders.
Interest Expense, Including Amortization of Deferred Fees
Interest expense increased $1.4 million from $20.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 to $21.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and is comprised of the following (dollars in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| For the nine months ended | | | | |
| September 30, 2019 | | September 30, 2018 | | % Change |
Mortgage debt interest | $ | 17,724 | | | $ | 17,913 | | | (1.1) | % |
Credit facility interest and unused fees | 2,964 | | | 1,412 | | | 109.9 | % |
Amortization of deferred financing costs | 690 | | | 680 | | | 1.5 | % |
Total | $ | 21,378 | | | $ | 20,005 | | | 6.9 | % |
The increase in interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2018 is primarily due to interest expense on the Company's senior unsecured revolving credit facility due to an increase in utilization of the credit facility in the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2018.
Income (loss) from Unconsolidated Real Estate Entities
Income from unconsolidated real estate entities decreased $4.4 million from income of $0.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 to loss of $3.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The decrease is due primarily to an increase in interest expense related to the floating rate debt at each JV and impairments recorded on three JV hotels in the nine months ended September 30, 2019.
Income Tax Expense
Income tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 was $0.0 million and $0.0 million, respectively. We are subject to income taxes based on the taxable income of our TRS Lessees at a combined federal and state tax rate of approximately 25%. The Company’s TRS is expecting taxable losses in 2019 and recognizes full valuation allowance equal to 100% of the gross deferred tax assets, with the exception of the AMT tax credit, due to the uncertainty of the TRS's ability to utilize these deferred tax assets.
Net Income
Net income was $21.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, compared to net income of $31.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The change in net income was due to the factors discussed above.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We consider the following non-GAAP financial measures useful to investors as key supplemental measures of our operating performance: (1) FFO, (2) Adjusted FFO, (3) EBITDA, (4) EBITDAre, (5) Adjusted EBITDA and (6) Adjusted Hotel EBITDA. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered along with, but not as alternatives to, net income or loss as prescribed by GAAP as a measure of our operating performance.
FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA, EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA do not represent cash generated from operating activities under GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to net income or loss, cash flows from operations or any other operating performance measure prescribed by GAAP. FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA, EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA are not measures of our liquidity, nor are FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA, EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to make cash distributions. These measurements do not reflect cash expenditures for long-term assets and other items that have been and will be incurred. FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA, EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA may include funds that may not be available for management’s discretionary use due to functional requirements to conserve funds for capital expenditures, property acquisitions, and other commitments and uncertainties.
We calculate FFO in accordance with standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment
Trusts ("NAREIT"), which defines FFO as net income or loss (calculated in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains or losses from sales of real estate, impairment write-downs, the cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles, plus depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs), and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures following the same approach. We believe that the presentation of FFO provides useful information to investors regarding our operating performance because it measures our performance without regard to specified non-cash items such as real estate depreciation and amortization, gain or loss on sale of real estate assets and certain other items that we believe are not indicative of the property level performance of our hotel properties. We believe that these items reflect historical cost of our asset base and our acquisition and disposition activities and are less reflective of our ongoing operations, and that by adjusting to exclude the effects of these items, FFO is useful to investors in comparing our operating performance between periods and between REITs that also report FFO using the NAREIT definition.
We calculate Adjusted FFO by further adjusting FFO for certain additional items that are not addressed in NAREIT’s definition of FFO, including other charges, costs associated with the departure of our former Chief Investment Officer, losses on the early extinguishment of debt and similar items related to our unconsolidated real estate entities that we believe do not represent costs related to hotel operations. We believe that Adjusted FFO provides investors with another financial measure that may facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods and between REITs that make similar adjustments to FFO.

Diluted weighted average common share count used for calculation of adjusted FFO per share may differ from diluted weighted average common share count used for calculation of GAAP Net Income per share by LTIP units, which may be converted to common shares of beneficial interest if Net Income per share is negative and Adjusted FFO is positive. Unvested restricted shares and unvested LTIP units that could potentially dilute basic earnings per share in the future would not be included in the computation of diluted loss per share for the periods where a loss has been recorded because they would have been anti-dilutive for the periods presented.
Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") is defined as net income or loss excluding: (1) interest expense; (2) provision for income taxes, including income taxes applicable to sales of assets; (3) depreciation and amortization; and (4) unconsolidated real estate entity items including interest, depreciation and amortization excluding gains and losses from sales of real estate. We consider EBITDA useful to an investor in evaluating and facilitating comparisons of our operating performance between periods and between REITs by removing the impact of our capital structure (primarily interest expense) and asset base (primarily depreciation and amortization) from our operating results. In addition, EBITDA is used as one measure in determining the value of hotel acquisitions and dispositions.
In addition to EBITDA, we present EBITDAre in accordance with NAREIT guidelines, which defines EBITDAre as net income or loss excluding interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization expense, gains or losses from sales of real estate, impairment, and adjustments for unconsolidated joint ventures. We believe that the presentation of EBITDAre provides useful information to investors regarding the Company's operating performance and can facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods and between REITs.
We also present Adjusted EBITDA, which includes additional adjustments for items such as other charges, gains or losses on extinguishment of indebtedness, transaction costs associated with the departure of our former Chief Investment officer, the amortization of share-based compensation, and certain other expenses that we consider outside the normal course of operations. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA provides useful supplemental information to investors regarding our ongoing operating performance that, when considered with net income, EBITDA and EBITDAre, is beneficial to an investor's understanding of our performance.

Adjusted Hotel EBITDA is defined as net income before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, corporate general and administrative, impairment loss, loss on early extinguishment of debt, other charges, interest and other income, losses on sales of hotel properties and income or loss from unconsolidated real estate entities. We present Adjusted Hotel EBITDA because we believe it is useful to investors in comparing our hotel operating performance between periods and comparing our Adjusted Hotel EBITDA margins to those of our peer companies. Adjusted Hotel EBITDA represents the results of operations for our wholly owned hotels only.

Although we present FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA, EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA because we believe they are useful to investors in comparing our operating performance between periods and between REITs that report similar measures, these measures have limitations as analytical tools. Some of these limitations are:
•FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA, EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA do not reflect our cash expenditures, or future requirements, for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;
•FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA, EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;
•FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA, EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA do not reflect funds available to make cash distributions;
•EBITDA, EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA do not reflect the significant interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on our debts;
•Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized may need to be replaced in the future, and FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA, EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA do not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements;
•Non-cash compensation is and will remain a key element of our overall long-term incentive compensation package, although we exclude it as an expense when evaluating our ongoing operating performance for a particular period using Adjusted EBITDA;
•Adjusted FFO, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA do not reflect the impact of certain cash charges (including acquisition transaction costs) that result from matters we consider not to be indicative of the underlying performance of our hotel properties; and
•Other companies in our industry may calculate FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA, EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA differently than we do, limiting their usefulness as a comparative measure.
In addition, FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA, EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA do not represent cash generated from operating activities as determined by GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to net income or loss, cash flows from operations or any other operating performance measure prescribed by GAAP. FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA, EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA are not measures of our liquidity. Because of these limitations, FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA, EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA, EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA only supplementally. Our consolidated financial statements and the notes to those statements included elsewhere are prepared in accordance with GAAP.
Sources and Uses of Cash
Our principal sources of cash include net cash from operations and proceeds from debt and equity issuances. Our principal uses of cash include acquisitions, capital expenditures, operating costs, corporate expenditures, interest costs, debt repayments and distributions to equity holders.
As of September 30, 2019March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2018,2019, we had cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of approximately $26.4$69.6 million and $32.3$20.2 million, respectively. Additionally, we had $164.0 million available under our $250.0 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility as of September 30, 2019.

We declared total dividends of $0.99$0.22 and $0.99$0.22 per common share and LTIP unit for the ninethree months ended September 30,March 31, 2020 and $0.33 and $0.33 per common share and LTIP unit for the three months ended March 31, 2019, and 2018, respectively.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, our leverage ratio was approximately 34.0%35.6% measured as the ratio of our net debt (total debt outstanding before deferred financing costs less unrestricted cash and cash equivalents) to hotel investments at cost, including our JV investments. Over the past several years, we have maintained a leverage ratio between the mid-30s and the low 50s to fund our acquisitions and investments in joint ventures. At September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, we have total debt of $585.1$667.6 million at an average interest rate of approximately 4.6%4.4%. Accordingly, our debt coverage ratios are currently favorable and we are comfortable in this leverage range and believe we have the capacity and flexibility to take advantage of acquisition opportunities as they arise. We intend to continue to fund our investments with a prudent balance of debt and equity. We will pay down borrowings on our senior unsecured revolving credit facility with excess cash flow until we find other uses of cash such as investments in our existing hotels, hotel acquisitions or further joint venture investments. Our debt may include mortgage debt collateralized by our hotel properties and unsecured debt.
At September 30, 2019March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2018,2019, we had $86.0$173.0 million and $81.5$90.0 million, respectively, in outstanding borrowings under our senior unsecured$250.0 million revolving credit facility. At September 30, 2019, the maximum borrowing availability under the senior unsecured revolving credit facility was $250.0 million. We also had mortgage debt on individual hotels aggregating $499.1$494.6 million and $503.6$496.9 million at September 30, 2019March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2018,2019, respectively.
Our senior unsecured credit facility contains representations, warranties, covenants, terms and conditions customary for credit facilities of this type, including a maximum leverage ratio, a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio and minimum net worth financial covenants, limitations on (i) liens, (ii) incurrence of debt, (iii) investments, (iv) distributions, and (v) mergers and asset dispositions, covenants to preserve corporate existence and comply with laws, covenants on the use of proceeds of the senior unsecured revolving credit facility and default provisions, including defaults for non-payment, breach of representations and warranties, insolvency, non-performance of covenants, cross-defaults and guarantor defaults. We were in compliance with all financial covenants at September 30, 2019.March 31, 2020.
On March 8, 2018, we refinanced our senior unsecuredMay 6, 2020, the company amended its credit facility to provide it with a new facility having a maturity date incertain relief from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.The amendment provides for the waiver of certain financial covenants through March 2023, which includes31, 2021 and allows Chatham to borrow up to the option to extend the maturity by an additional year, and replaces our previousentire $250 million senior unsecuredfacility size during this period.During this covenant waiver period, Chatham will be required to maintain a minimum liquidity of $25 million which will include both unrestricted cash and credit facility that was scheduledavailability.In connection with the amendment, Chatham added six hotels to maturethe credit facility’s borrowing base which now has a total of 18 properties.The amendment provided Chatham’s credit facility lenders with pledges of the equity in 2020. Borrowing costs have been reduced by 0the 18 borrowing base hotels.The amendment places additional limits on Chatham’s ability to 15 basis points from comparable leverage-based pricing levels in our previous credit facility. At September 30, 2019, based on our current leverage level, the borrowing cost under the new facility is LIBOR plus 1.65%. We were in compliance with all financial covenants at September 30, 2019. We expect to meet all financial covenantsincur debt, pay dividends, and make capital expenditures during the remaindercovenant waiver period.During the covenant waiver period interest will be calculated as LIBOR (subject to a 0.5% floor) plus a spread of 2019 based upon our current projections.2.5% if borrowings remain at or below $200 million and a spread of 3.0% if borrowings exceed $200 million.
We expect to meet our short-term liquidity requirements generally through net cash provided by operations, existing cash balances and if necessary, short-term borrowingsavailability under our senior unsecured revolving credit facility or through encumbrance of any unencumbered hotels.facility. We believe that our netexisting cash provided by operationsbalances and availability under our credit facility will be adequate to fund operating obligations, pay interest on any borrowings and fund dividends in accordance with the requirements for qualification as a REIT under the Code. We expect to meet our long-term liquidity requirements, such as hotel property acquisitions and debt maturities or repayments through additional long-term secured and unsecured borrowings, the issuance of additional equity or debt securities or the possible sale of existing assets.
We intend
The COVID-19 pandemic has caused, and is continuing to cause, significant disruption in the financial markets both globally and in the United States, and will continue to investimpact, possibly materially, our business, financial condition and results of operations. We cannot predict the degree, or duration, to which our operations will be affected by the COVID-19 outbreak, and the effects could be material. While we believe the liquidity provided by our unrestricted cash and credit facility availability, valuable unencumbered assets and aggressive cost reduction initiatives will enable us to fund our current obligations for the foreseeable future, COVID-19 has resulted in hotel properties as suitable opportunities arise. We intend to finance our future investments with free cash flow, the net proceeds from additional issuancessignificant disruption of common and preferred shares, issuances of common units in our Operating Partnership or other securities, borrowings or asset sales. The success of our acquisition strategy depends, in part,global financial markets, which could have a negative impact on our ability to access additional capital through other sources. There can be no assurance thatin the future.Because the situation is ongoing, and because the duration and severity remain unclear, it is difficult to forecast any impacts on our future results. However, we will continuecurrently expect the COVID-19 pandemic to make investments in properties that meetimpact our investment criteria. Additionally, we may choose to dispose of certain hotels as a means to provide liquidity.operations for the quarter ending June 30, 2020 more significantly than it has impacted the quarter ended March 31, 2020.
Dividend Policy
Our current common share dividend policy is generallyhas been to distribute, annually, approximately 100% of our annual taxable income. We suspended dividends after the March 2020 payment due to the decline in operating performance caused by COVID-19 pandemic. We plan to pay dividends required to maintain REIT status. The aggregate amount of dividends and distributions declared for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was $0.22 per common share and LTIP unit. The amount of any dividends is determined by our Board of Trustees. Our current monthly dividend and distribution rate is $0.11 per common share and LTIP unit. The aggregate amount of dividends and distributions declared for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $0.99 per common share and LTIP unit.
Capital Expenditures
We intend to maintain each hotel property in good repair and condition and in conformity with applicable laws and regulations and in accordance with the franchisors' standards and any agreed-upon requirements in our management and loan agreements. After we acquire a hotel property, we may be required to complete a property improvement plan (“PIP”) in order to be granted a new franchise license for that particular hotel property. PIPs are intended to bring the hotel property up to the franchisors' standards. Certain of our loans require that we escrow, for property improvement purposes, at the hotels collateralizing these loans, amounts up to 5% of gross revenue from such hotels. We intend to spend amounts necessary to
comply with any reasonable loan or franchisor requirements and otherwise to the extent that such expenditures are in the best interest of the hotel. To the extent that we spend more on capital expenditures than is available from our operations, we intend to fund those capital expenditures with available cash and borrowings under our senior unsecured revolving credit facility.
For the three months ended September 30,March 31, 2020 and 2019, and 2018, we invested approximately $14.0$6.1 million and $10.5$11.7 million for renovations and other non-recurring capital expenditures on our existing hotels, respectively and forrespectively. As a result of the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018,COVID-19 pandemic, we investedhave reduced our planned 2020 capital expenditures by approximately $30.3 million and $23.3 million, respectively, on capital investments in our existing hotels. $10 million. We expect to invest an
additional $2.0$6.8 million on ron renovations,enovations, discretionary and emergency expenditures on our existing hotels for the remainder of 2019,2020, including improvements required under any brand PIP.
We are developing a hotel in Los Angeles, CA on a parcel of land owned by us. We expect that the total development costs for construction of the hotel to be approximately $65 million, which includes the cost of the land. We have incurred $15.2$26.7 million of costs to date, which includes $6.6 million of the land acquisition costs and $8.6$20.1 million of other development costs. We reclassified the $6.6 million of land acquisition costs from Land to Hotel Properties Under Development during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 in conjunction with our development activities.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We had no material off-balance sheet arrangements at September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, other than non-recourse debt associated with the NewINK JV and the Inland JV. In connection with certain non-recourse mortgage loans in either the NewINK JV or Inland JV, our Operating Partnership could require us to repay our pro rata share of portions of each respective JVs indebtedness in connection with certain customary non-recourse carve-out provisions such as environmental conditions, misuse of funds and material misrepresentations.

2.The Company entered into a corporate office lease in 2015. The lease is for eleven years and includes a 12-month rent abatement period and certain tenant improvement allowances. The Company shares the space with related parties and is reimbursed for the pro-rata share of rentable space occupied by related parties.
3.Does not reflect paydowns or additional borrowings under the senior unsecured revolving credit facility after September 30, 2019.March 31, 2020. Interest payments are based on the interest rate in effect as of September 30, 2019.March 31, 2020. See Note 8, “Debt”7, “Debt” to our unaudited consolidated financial statements for additional information relating to our property loans.
In addition to the above listed obligations, we pay management and franchise fees to our hotel management companies and franchisors based on the revenues of our hotels.
2020, or $38.3 million of estimated remaining costs associated with our Los Angeles hotel development. Our contracts associated with these planned capital expenditures contain clauses that allow us to cancel all or some portion of the work. If cancellation of a contract occurred, our commitment would be any costs incurred up to the cancellation date, in addition to any costs associated with the discharge of the contract. The Company’s ownership interests in the JVs are subject to change in the event that either we or CLNY calls for additional capital contributions to the respective JVs necessary for the conduct of that JV's business, including contributions to fund costs and expenses related to capital expenditures. We manage the NewINK JV and Inland JV and will receive a promote interest in the applicable JV if it meets certain return thresholds. CLNY may also approve certain actions related to the JVs without the Company’s consent, including certain property dispositions conducted at arm’s length, certain actions related to the restructuring of the JVs and removal of the Company as managing member in the event the Company fails to fulfill its material obligations under the respective joint venture agreements.
In connection with certain non-recourse mortgage loans in either the NewINK JV or Inland JV, our Operating Partnership could require us to repay our pro rata share of portions of each respective JVs indebtedness in connection with certain customary non-recourse carve-out provisions such as environmental conditions, misuse of funds and material misrepresentations.
Inflation
Operators of hotels, in general, possess the ability to adjust room rates daily to reflect the effects of inflation. However, competitive pressures may limit the ability of our management companies to raise room rates.
Seasonality
Demand for our hotels is affected by recurring seasonal patterns. Generally, we expect that we will have lower revenue, operating income and cash flow in the first and fourth quarters and higher revenue, operating income and cash flow in the second and third quarters. These general trends are, however, influenced by overall economic cycles and the geographic locations of our hotels.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with GAAP, which requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities at the date of our financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. While we do not believe the reported amounts would be materially different, application of these policies involves the exercise of judgment and the use of assumptions as to future uncertainties and, as a result, actual results could differ from these estimates. We evaluate our estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis. We base our estimates on experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. All of our significant accounting policies, including certain critical accounting policies, are disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.2019.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
Refer to Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies for all new recently issued accounting standards.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.
We may be exposed to interest rate changes primarily as a result of our assumption of long-term debt in connection with our acquisitions and upon refinancing of existing debt. Our interest rate risk management objectives are to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows and to lower overall borrowing costs. To achieve these objectives, we seek to borrow primarily at fixed rates or variable rates with the lowest margins available and, in some cases, with the ability to convert variable rates to fixed rates. With respect to variable rate financing, we will assess interest rate risk by identifying and monitoring changes in interest rate exposures that may adversely impact expected future cash flows and by evaluating hedging opportunities.
The Company estimates the fair value of its fixed rate debt by discounting the future cash flows of each instrument at estimated market rates. Rates take into consideration general market conditions, maturity and fair value of the underlying collateral. The estimated fair value of the Company’s fixed rate debt at September 30, 2019March 31, 2020 and December 31, 20182019 was $509.6$468.7 million and $489.0$501.5 million, respectively.
At September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, our consolidated debt was comprised of floating and fixed interest rate debt. The fair value of our fixed rate debt indicates the estimated principal amount of debt having the same debt service requirements that could have been borrowed at the date presented, at then current market interest rates. The following table provides information about the maturities of our financial instruments as of September 30, 2019March 31, 2020 that are sensitive to changes in interest rates (dollars in thousands):

We estimate that a hypothetical 100 basis points increase on the variable interest rate would result in additional interest expense of approximately $0.9$1.7 million annually. This assumes that the amount outstanding under our floating rate debt remains $86.0$173.0 million, the balance as of September 30, 2019.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(b) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.
Our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20182019 includes detailed discussions of our risk factors under the heading “Risk Factors.” Set forth below are certain additions to the risk factors previously disclosed in the Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Hotel development is subjectThe current COVID-19 pandemic had, and may continue to timing, cost,have, or a future pandemic could have, adverse effects on our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and other risksperformance.
As of September 30, 2019, we were in the process of developing a hotel in Los Angeles, California. Hotel development involves a number of risks, including the following:
•Possible environmental problems;
•construction delays or cost overruns that may increase project costs;
•receipt of and expense related to zoning, occupancy and other required governmental permits and authorizations;
•development costs incurred for projects that are not pursued to completion;
•acts of God such as earthquakes, hurricanes, floods or fires that could adversely affect a project;
•inability to raise capital; and
•governmental restrictions on the nature or size of a project.
We cannot provide assurance that any development project will be completed on time or within budget. Our inability to complete a project on time or within budget could adversely affect our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows or the market price of our stock.
The global pandemic caused by the coronavirus known as COVID-19 has had a severe and negative impact on both the U.S. economy and the global economy.Financial markets have experienced significant volatility during the first quarter of 2020, which is expected to continue over the upcoming quarters.Globally and throughout the United States, federal and local governments have instituted quarantines, restrictions on travel, school closings, "shelter in place" orders, and restrictions on types of businesses that may continue operations.These restrictions have had a severe impact on the U.S. lodging industry and some of our hotels continue to operate at a significantly reduced occupancy.
The following factors should be considered since the COVID-19 pandemic has significantly adversely affected the ability of our hotel managers to successfully operate our hotels and has, or the continued and prolonged effects of the COVID-19 may have, a significant adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows due to, among other factors:
•Significant reduction of operations at some of our properties;
•a variety of factors related to the COVID-19 pandemic have caused, and are expected to continue to cause, a sharp decline in group, business and leisure travel, including but not limited to (i) restrictions on travel mandated by governmental entities or voluntarily imposed by employers, (ii) the postponement or cancellation of conventions and conferences, music and arts festivals, sporting events and other large public gatherings, (iii) the closure of amusement parks, museums and other tourist attractions, (iv) the closure of colleges and universities, and (v) negative public perceptions of travel and public gatherings in light of the perceived risks associated with COVID-19;
•travelers are, and may continue to be, wary to travel where, or because, they may view the risk of contagion as increased and contagion or virus-related deaths linked or alleged to be linked to travel to our properties, whether accurate or not, may injure our reputation;
•travelers may be dissuaded from traveling due to possible enhanced COVID-19-related screening measures which are being implemented across multiple markets we serve;
•travelers may be dissuaded from traveling due to the concern that additional travel restrictions implemented between their departure and return may affect their ability to return to their homes;
•commercial airline service has been reduced or suspended to many of the areas in which our hotels are located, and if scheduled airline service does not increase or return to normal levels once our resorts are re-opened it could negatively affect our revenues;
•the reduced economic activity could also result in an economic recession, and increased unemployment, which could negatively impact future ability or desire to travel lodging demand and, therefore, our revenues, even after the temporary restrictions are lifted;
•a decrease in the ancillary revenue from amenities at our properties;
•the financial impact of the COVID-19 pandemic could negatively impact our future compliance with the financial covenants of our credit facility or other debt obligations, and result in a default and potentially an acceleration of indebtedness which would adversely affect our financial condition and liquidity;
•difficulty in accessing debt and equity capital on attractive terms, or at all, and a severe disruption and instability in the global financial markets or deteriorations in credit and financing conditions may affect our access to capital;
•the general decline in business activity and demand for real estate transactions adversely affecting our ability to acquire additional properties;
•the potential negative impact on the health of our personnel, particularly if a significant number of them are impacted, could result in a deterioration in our ability to ensure business continuity during and after this disruption;
•we may be subject to increased risks related to employee matters, including increased employment litigation and claims for severance or other benefits tied to termination or furloughs as a result of reduced operations prompted by the effects of the pandemic; and
•the reduction in our cash flows has caused the suspension of dividends during the first quarter of 2020 and could impact our ability to pay dividends to our stockholders at expected levels in the future.
The rapid development and fluidity of the COVID-19 pandemic makes it extremely difficult to assess its full adverse economic impact, and future impact, on our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and performance. In addition, an outbreak of another disease or similar public health threat, or fear of such an event, that affects travel demand, travel behavior or travel restrictions could have a material adverse impact on the Company's business, financial condition and operating results. Outbreaks of other diseases could also result in increased government restrictions and regulation, such as those actions described above or otherwise, which could adversely affect our operations.
The potential effects of the COVID-19 pandemic also could intensify or otherwise affect many of our other risk factors that are included in Part 1-Item 1A. Risk Factors of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 (the "Annual Report"). Because the COVID-19 situation is unprecedented and continuously evolving, the other potential impacts to our risk factors that are further described in our Annual Report are uncertain.
