Description of the Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Description of the Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	1. Description of the Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies For financial statement presentation and reporting purposes, the Company is the successor to Gaylord Entertainment Company, a Delaware corporation (“Gaylord”). As part of the plan to restructure the business operations of Gaylord to facilitate its qualification as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for federal income tax purposes, Gaylord merged with and into its wholly-owned subsidiary, Ryman Hospitality Properties, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Ryman”), on October 1, 2012, with Ryman as the surviving corporation (the “Merger”). At 12:01 a.m. on October 1, 2012, the effective time of the Merger, Ryman succeeded to and began conducting, directly or indirectly, all of the business conducted by Gaylord immediately prior to the Merger. The “Company” refers to Ryman and its subsidiaries and to Gaylord. On January 1, 2013, the Company began operating as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, specializing in group-oriented, destination hotel assets in urban and resort markets. The Company’s owned assets include a network of upscale, meetings-focused resorts that are managed by Marriott International, Inc. (“Marriott”) under the Gaylord Hotels brand. These five resorts, which the Company refers to as the Gaylord Hotels properties, consist of the Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center in Nashville, Tennessee (“Gaylord Opryland”), the Gaylord Palms Resort & Convention Center near Orlando, Florida (“Gaylord Palms”), the Gaylord Texan Resort & Convention Center near Dallas, Texas (“Gaylord Texan”), the Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center near Washington D.C. (“Gaylord National”), and the Gaylord Rockies Resort & Convention Center near Denver, Colorado (“Gaylord Rockies”). Prior to May 2021, Gaylord Rockies was owned by a joint venture (the “Gaylord Rockies joint venture”) in which the Company owned a 65% interest. The Company’s other owned hotel assets managed by Marriott include the Inn at Opryland, an overflow hotel adjacent to Gaylord Opryland, and the AC Hotel at National Harbor, Washington D.C. (“AC Hotel”), an overflow hotel adjacent to Gaylord National. In April 2021, the Company entered into an agreement with RIDA Development Corporation to acquire the remaining 35% ownership interest in the Gaylord Rockies joint venture not previously owned by the Company for $188.0 million and approximately 130 acres of undeveloped, adjacent land for $22.0 million in cash (the “JV Purchase”). The JV Purchase closed in May 2021 and was funded through cash on hand and borrowings under the Company’s $700 million revolving credit facility. As discussed below, the Company consolidated the Gaylord Rockies joint venture both before and after the purchase in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The Company also owns a controlling 70% equity interest in a business comprised of a number of entertainment and media assets, known as the Opry Entertainment Group (“OEG”), which the Company reports as its Entertainment segment. These assets include the Grand Ole Opry, the legendary weekly showcase of country music’s finest performers; the Ryman Auditorium, the storied live music venue and former home of the Grand Ole Opry; WSM-AM, the Opry’s radio home; Ole Red, a brand of Blake Shelton-themed bar, music venue and event spaces; two Nashville-based assets managed by Marriott – the Wildhorse Saloon and the General Jackson Showboat (“General Jackson”); and as of May 31, 2022, Block 21, a mixed-use entertainment, lodging, office, and retail complex located in Austin, Texas (“Block 21”). Prior to June 16, 2022, the Company owned 100% of OEG. The Company also owns a 50% interest in a joint venture that creates and distributes a linear multicast and over-the-top channel dedicated to the country music lifestyle (“Circle”), which launched its broadcast network on January 1, 2020. See “OEG Transaction” and “Block 21 Transaction” in this Note 1, as well as Note 11, “Commitments and Contingencies,” for further disclosure. The Company conducts its business through an umbrella partnership REIT, in which all of its assets are held by, and all of its operations are conducted through, RHP Hotel Properties, LP, a subsidiary operating partnership (the “Operating Partnership”) that the Company formed in connection with its REIT conversion. Ryman and the non-controlling operating partnership unit holders discussed in “Income (Loss) Per Share” in this Note 1 are the sole limited partners of the Operating Partnership, and Ryman currently owns, either directly or indirectly, 99.3% of the partnership units of the Operating Partnership. RHP Finance Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Finco”), was formed as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Operating Partnership for the sole purpose of being an issuer of debt securities with the Operating Partnership. Neither Ryman nor Finco has any material assets, other than Ryman’s investment in the Operating Partnership and its 100%-owned subsidiaries. As 100%-owned subsidiaries of Ryman, neither the Operating Partnership nor Finco has any business, operations, financial results or other material information, other than the business, operations, financial results and other material information described in this Annual Report on Form 10-K and Ryman’s other reports, documents or other information filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Company principally operates, through its subsidiaries and its property managers, as applicable, in the following business segments: Hospitality; Entertainment; and Corporate and Other. The Company’s fiscal year ends on December 31 for all periods presented. Business Segments Hospitality The Hospitality segment includes the Gaylord Hotels branded hotels, the Inn at Opryland and the AC Hotel, each of which is managed by Marriott pursuant to a management agreement for each hotel. Entertainment The Entertainment segment includes the Grand Ole Opry, the Ryman Auditorium, WSM-AM, Ole Red, the General Jackson, the Wildhorse Saloon, Block 21, and the Company’s investment in the Circle joint venture, among various others. Marriott manages the day-to-day operations of the General Jackson, the Wildhorse Saloon and the W Austin, which is part of the Block 21 complex, pursuant to management agreements. Corporate and Other The Corporate and Other segment includes operating and general and administrative expenses related to the overall management of the Company which are not allocated to the other reportable segments, including certain costs for the Company’s retirement plans, equity-based compensation plans, information technology, human resources, accounting, and other administrative expenses. Principles of Consolidation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. The Company’s investments in non-controlled entities in which it has the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies are accounted for by the equity method. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company analyzes its variable interests, including loans, guarantees, management agreements, leasing arrangements and equity investments, to determine if an entity in which it has a variable interest is a variable interest entity (“VIE”). This analysis primarily includes a qualitative review, which is based on a review of the design of the entity, its organizational structure, including decision-making ability, and relevant financial agreements. This analysis is also used to determine if the Company must consolidate the VIE as the primary beneficiary. For periods prior to its achieving 100% ownership of the Gaylord Rockies joint venture in May 2021, management concluded that the Company was the primary beneficiary of the Gaylord Rockies joint venture, which was a VIE. As such, the Company consolidated the assets, liabilities and results of operations of the Gaylord Rockies joint venture in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The portion of the Gaylord Rockies joint venture that the Company did not previously own was recorded as noncontrolling interest in consolidated joint venture in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet, and any previous adjustment necessary to reflect the noncontrolling interest at its redemption value was shown in the accompanying consolidated statements of equity (deficit) and noncontrolling interest. As Gaylord Rockies is now wholly-owned by the Company, it is no longer considered a VIE. See “Noncontrolling Interest” below for further discussion. The terms of the Company's joint venture agreement in Circle provide that the Company and its joint venture partner each share the authority to make major decisions in the joint venture, including operating plans, entering into certain contracts, admitting additional members of the joint venture, issuing additional membership interests, and amending the operating agreement. In addition, the officers of Circle are not employees of the Company. Based on management’s analysis of the joint venture agreement, management concluded that the Company is not the primary beneficiary of this variable interest entity and accounts for this investment under the equity method. See “OEG Transaction” in this Note 1 for further discussion. Recovery from COVID-19; Current Economic Environment COVID-19 has caused, and may in the future cause, unprecedented levels of disruption to the Company’s business. Although the Company’s business levels have generally recovered and improved in 2022, there remains significant uncertainty surrounding the extent to which COVID-19 may in the future impact the Company’s results of operations and financial position, as increased labor costs, broad inflationary pressures and rising interest rates continue to impact the economy. All of the Company’s assets were open and fully operational throughout 2022, and most of our businesses were open and operating throughout 2021; however, Gaylord National remained closed during the first half of 2021 and reopened July 1, 2021, the Grand Ole Opry and Ryman Auditorium reopened for full-capacity publicly attended performances in May 2021, and, subsequent to the December 2020 downtown Nashville bombing, the Wildhorse Saloon reopened in April 2021. Throughout 2020, 2021 and 2022, and continuing to date, the Company has paid all required debt service payments on its indebtedness, lease payments, taxes and other payables. At December 31, 2022, the Company had $689.6 million available for borrowing under its revolving credit facility, $65.0 million available for borrowing under the OEG revolving credit facility, and $334.2 million in unrestricted cash on hand. The Company’s cash dividend, which had been suspended since second quarter 2020, was reinstated in September 2022. The Company’s interim dividend policy provides that the Company will make minimum dividends of 100% of REIT taxable income annually, subject to the Company’s board of directors’ future determinations as to the amount of any distributions and timing thereof. OEG Transaction On June 16, 2022, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries, including OEG Attractions Holdings, LLC (“OEG”), which directly or indirectly owns the assets that comprise the Company’s Entertainment segment, consummated the transactions contemplated by an investment agreement (the “Investment Agreement”) with Atairos Group, Inc. (“Atairos”) and A-OEG Holdings, LLC, an affiliate of Atairos (the “OEG Investor”), pursuant to which OEG issued and sold to the OEG Investor, and the OEG Investor acquired, 30% of the equity interests of OEG for approximately $296.0 million (the “OEG Transaction”). The purchase price payable to the Company for the OEG Transaction may be increased by $30.0 million if OEG achieves certain financial objectives in 2023 or 2024. The Company retains a controlling 70% equity interest in OEG and continues to consolidate the assets, liabilities and results of operations of OEG in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The portion of OEG that the Company does not own is recorded as noncontrolling interest in consolidated joint venture, which is classified as mezzanine equity in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet, and any adjustment necessary to reflect the noncontrolling interest at its redemption value is shown in the accompanying consolidated statements of equity (deficit) and noncontrolling interest. After the payment of transaction expenses, the Company used substantially all of the net proceeds from the OEG Transaction, together with the net proceeds the Company received from the OEG Term Loan (as defined below), to repay the then-outstanding balance of the Company’s former $300 million term loan A and to pay down substantially all borrowings then outstanding under the Company’s revolving credit facility. Pursuant to the Second Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement for OEG entered into at the closing of the OEG Transaction (the “OEG LLC Agreement”), OEG is governed by a Board of Managers (the “Board”), subject to member consent to certain actions. The Board initially consists of six members, four designated by the Company and two designated by the OEG Investor. Board membership may be modified from time to time to reflect the proportional ownership of outstanding units by each party. Subject to certain ownership thresholds, the approval of both parties will be required with respect to certain “major decisions” affecting OEG, including, but not limited to, approval of OEG’s annual operating budget in the event of changes exceeding certain thresholds, the incurrence of certain debt, the issuance of new equity securities, and mergers, acquisitions or dispositions in excess of a certain dollar threshold. The OEG Investor will have the option to acquire additional common units of OEG from the Company (the “Purchase Option”) in each of the fourth quarters of 2023, 2024 and 2025 in an amount equal to the lesser of $125 million or the maximum amount of proceeds that the Company may receive with respect to its compliance with applicable REIT tests, provided that the OEG Investor may not purchase an amount of common units that would result in the Company owning less than 51% of the outstanding common units after giving effect to the purchase. If the OEG Investor elects to exercise the Purchase Option, then (i) beginning on June 16, 2027 (the fifth anniversary of the OEG Investor’s original investment in OEG (the “Fifth Anniversary”)), the OEG Investor will have the right to demand that OEG undertake a Qualified IPO and (ii) the OEG Investor’s rights with respect to the IPO Request Put Right, the Seven-Year Put Right, an IPO Payment and a Sale Payment, each as defined in the OEG LLC Agreement and described below, will expire. The Purchase Option will terminate upon the occurrence of a Qualified IPO, a Sale of OEG or a Qualified Spinoff, each as defined in the OEG LLC Agreement. IPO Request Put Right . Seven-Year Put Right ​ The IPO Request Put Price and the Seven-Year Put Price may each be settled in either cash or Company stock, at the Company’s option, and the IPO Request Put Right and the Seven-Year Put Right will each terminate at the first closing of the Purchase Option. ​ IPO Payment . Upon a Qualified IPO that occurs on or before the Seventh Anniversary, the OEG Investor will be entitled to an IPO Payment if the Post IPO Investor Stake Value (as defined in OEG LLC Agreement) measured on the 120 th trading day post-IPO does not equal or exceed the Minimum Investor Stake Value (as defined in the OEG LLC Agreement). If the IPO occurs after the Fourth Anniversary, the IPO Payment will be capped at 50% of the OEG Investor’s investment in OEG (the “Payment Cap”). Any IPO Payment may be satisfied in either cash, OEG equity owned by the Ryman Member, or Company stock. ​ Sale Payment ​ The above descriptions related to the OEG LLC Agreement do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the OEG LLC Agreement filed as Exhibit 10.19 to this Annual Report on Form 10-K ​ Also on June 16, 2022, OEG Borrower, LLC (“OEG Borrower”) and OEG Finance, LLC (“OEG Finance”), each a wholly owned direct or indirect subsidiary of OEG, entered into a credit agreement (the “OEG Credit Agreement”) among OEG Borrower, as borrower, OEG Finance, certain subsidiaries of OEG Borrower from time to time party thereto as guarantors, the lenders party thereto and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent. The OEG Credit Agreement provides for (i) a senior secured term loan facility in the aggregate principal amount of $300.0 million (the “OEG Term Loan”) and (ii) a senior secured revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $65.0 million (the “OEG Revolver”). The OEG Term Loan matures on June 16, 2029, and the OEG Revolver matures on June 16, 2027. The OEG Term Loan bears interest at a rate equal to either, at OEG Borrower’s election, (i) the Alternate Base Rate plus 4.00% or (b) Adjusted Term SOFR plus 5.00% (all as specifically more described in the OEG Credit Agreement). In November 2022, OEG entered into an interest rate swap to fix the SOFR portion of the interest rate on $100.0 million of borrowings at 4.533% through December 2025 ​ Block 21 Transaction On May 31, 2022, the Company purchased Block 21 for a stated purchase price of $260 million, as subsequently adjusted to $255 million pursuant to the terms of the purchase agreement, which included the assumption of approximately $136 million of existing mortgage debt. Block 21 is the home of the Austin City Limits Live at The Moody Theater (“ACL Live”), a 2,750-seat entertainment venue that serves as the filming location for the Austin City Limits television series. The Block 21 complex also includes the 251-room W Austin, the 3TEN at ACL Live club and approximately 53,000 square feet of other Class A commercial space. The Company funded the cash portion of the purchase price with cash on hand and borrowings under its revolving credit facility. The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination, given the different nature of the principal operations acquired (a hotel and an entertainment venue). Block 21 assets are reflected in the Company’s Entertainment segment beginning May 31, 2022. The Company performed a preliminary valuation of the fair value of the acquired assets and liabilities as of May 31, 2022. The valuations of the various components of property and equipment were determined principally based on the cost approach, which uses assumptions regarding replacement values from established indices. The valuation of intangible assets was based on various methods to evaluate the values of leases in place and advanced bookings previously received for the hotel. The valuation of assumed debt was principally based on a discounted cash flow approach using market interest rates at the time of the transaction. The Company considers each of these estimates as Level 3 fair value measurements. Other acquired assets were valued at carrying value. Based on the aggregation of fair values as compared to consideration transferred, the Company concluded that there was no goodwill or bargain purchase gain related to the business combination. The Company performed an income approach evaluation of the acquired set which corroborated the conclusion that there was no goodwill related to the acquisition. Such evaluation included assumptions of future projected cash flows, which were based on the future projected occupancy and average daily rate for the W Hotel Austin, future anticipated cash flows at ACL Live, and market discount rates. Utilizing the valuation, the Company performed a purchase price allocation for the acquired assets and liabilities of Block 21. As a result, the Company preliminarily allocated the purchase price, adjusted for working capital adjustments as defined in the purchase agreement, in the Company’s balance sheet at May 31, 2022 as follows (amounts in thousands): ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Property and equipment ​ $ 237,159 Cash and cash equivalents - unrestricted ​ 8,493 Cash and cash equivalents - restricted ​ ​ 12,450 Trade receivables ​ 1,405 Prepaid expenses and other assets ​ 1,085 Intangible assets ​ 1,723 Total assets acquired ​ ​ 262,315 ​ ​ ​ ​ Debt (Note 4) ​ ​ (132,531) Accounts payable and accrued liabilities ​ ​ (14,774) Other liabilities ​ ​ (75) Total liabilities assumed ​ ​ (147,380) ​ ​ ​ ​ Net assets acquired ​ $ 114,935 ​ The estimated fair values for the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are preliminary and are subject to change during the one-year measurement period as additional information related to the inputs and assumptions used in determining the fair value of the assets and liabilities becomes available. The Company is in the process of finalizing its review of the underlying inputs and assumptions. Therefore, the purchase price allocation is not yet complete as of the date of this filing but will be complete within the one-year measurement period. The Company incurred $1.3 million in acquisition-related expenses in 2022, which are included in entertainment expenses in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. In December 2019, the Company entered into a previous agreement to purchase Block 21. In May 2020, in response to the then-existing capital markets and economic environment caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company determined it was not in the best interest of shareholders to focus resources and capital on the project and terminated the related purchase agreement. The Company forfeited a nonrefundable December 2019 deposit of $15 million and recorded a loss, which is included in other gains and (losses), net in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations for 2020. Property and Equipment Property and equipment are stated at cost or at estimated fair value if recorded in connection with purchase accounting. Improvements and significant renovations that extend the lives of existing assets are capitalized. Interest on funds borrowed to finance the construction of major capital additions not funded through furniture, fixtures and equipment reserves is included in the cost of the applicable capital addition. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Property and equipment are generally depreciated using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives: ​ ​ ​ ​ Buildings 40 years Land improvements 20 years Furniture, fixtures and equipment 5-8 years Leasehold improvements The shorter of the lease term or useful life ​ Cash and Cash Equivalents — Unrestricted The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and Cash Equivalents — Restricted Restricted cash and cash equivalents primarily represent funds held by our property manager for furniture, fixtures and equipment reserves. In addition, the Company holds certificates of deposit with an original maturity of greater than three months in order to secure its Tennessee workers’ compensation self-insurance obligations. Beginning in July 2020, Gaylord Rockies was in a cash sweep period pursuant to the Gaylord Rockies term loan agreement, and such cash amounts are also included in restricted cash. Gaylord Rockies exited this cash sweep period in January 2023. Block 21 was in a Trigger Period (as defined below) as of the date of its purchase by the Company and remains so at December 31, 2022, and such cash amounts are also included in restricted cash. Supplemental Cash Flow Information Cash paid for interest, net of amounts from interest rate swaps, for the years ended December 31 was comprised of (amounts in thousands): ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 2022 2021 2020 Debt interest paid ​ $ 135,467 ​ $ 113,669 ​ $ 113,743 Capitalized interest ​ (183) ​ (2,922) ​ (3,753) Cash paid for interest, net of capitalized interest ​ $ 135,284 ​ $ 110,747 ​ $ 109,990 ​ Net cash payments of income taxes in 2022, 2021 and 2020 were $27.0 million, $0.5 million and $1.7 million, respectively. Accounts Receivable The Company’s accounts receivable are primarily generated by meetings and convention attendees’ room nights and food and beverage. Receivables arising from these sales are not collateralized. Credit risk associated with the accounts receivable is minimized due to the large and diverse nature of the customer base. Credit Loss Reserves on Accounts Receivable The Company provides credit loss reserves based upon a percentage of accounts receivable that considers historical write-offs, current economic conditions, and management’s expectations about future economic conditions, as well as periodic evaluations of the aging of accounts receivable. Prepaid Expenses and Other Assets Prepaid expenses and other assets at December 31 consist of (amounts in thousands): ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 2022 2021 Prepaid expenses ​ $ 19,377 ​ $ 24,359 Supplemental deferred compensation plan assets ​ 29,245 ​ 31,183 Tax rebate receivables ​ ​ 22,181 ​ ​ 21,456 Inventories ​ 12,041 ​ 8,369 Right-of-use assets for operating leases ​ ​ 18,910 ​ ​ 9,863 Deferred financing costs on revolving credit facilities ​ ​ 5,757 ​ ​ — Derivative assets ​ ​ 11,350 ​ ​ — Other ​ 15,309 ​ 17,674 Total prepaid expenses and other assets ​ $ 134,170 ​ $ 112,904 ​ Prepaid expenses consist of prepayments for property taxes, insurance and other contracts that will be expensed during the subsequent year. Inventories consist primarily of food and beverage inventory for resale and retail inventory sold in the Entertainment segment. Inventory is carried at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is computed on an average cost basis. Other assets include capitalized software costs, non-trade receivables, and investments in joint ventures, among others. Gaylord Rockies is party to an incentive agreement with the local government that provides that Gaylord Rockies is entitled to receive monthly rebates of certain city and state taxes, including property, sales and lodging taxes. The term of the rebate agreement varies by type of tax but ranges from 25-33 years from commencement of the construction of Gaylord Rockies. Gaylord Rockies earned $38.4 million, $29.1 million and $41.4 million in rebates in 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively, which are generally recorded as a reduction in other hotel expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for 2022, 2021 and 2020. Intangible Assets In connection with the Company’s purchase price allocation of the Gaylord Rockies joint venture, the Company acquired certain definite-lived intangibles, which are shown on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Included in these intangibles are the original estimated fair value of advanced bookings of $125.5 million and the original estimated fair value related to the Gaylord Hotels trade name, which Marriott owns, of $115.3 million. The advanced bookings asset was amortized on a straight-line basis over a period of 3.5 years, which corresponded with the period in which the advanced bookings related, and the value in the trade name is being amortized on a straight-line basis over 30 years, which is the period of the Marriott management agreement. The gross carrying amount of intangible assets at December 31, 2022 and 2021 was $254.7 million and $252.8 million, respectively. Accumulated amortization of intangible assets at December 31, 2022 and 2021 was $148.7 million and $126.0 million, respectively. Amortization expense related to intangible assets during 2022, 2021 and 2020 was $22.7 million, $40.2 million and $40.2 million, respectively. The estimated amounts of amortization expense for the next five years are as follows (amounts in thousands): ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 2023 $ 5,018 2024 ​ 4,486 2025 ​ 4,097 2026 ​ 4,039 2027 ​ 4,039 ​ ​ $ 21,679 ​ Investments From time to time, the Company has owned minority interest investments in certain businesses. Investments in entities that the Company does not control but in which it exercises significant influence are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Accounts Payable and Accrued Liabilities Accounts payable and accrued liabilities at December 31 consist of (amounts in thousands): ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 2022 2021 Trade accounts payable ​ $ 38,628 ​ $ 31,725 Property and other taxes payable ​ 73,461 ​ 54,991 Deferred revenues ​ 136,479 ​ 116,820 Accrued salaries and benefits ​ 58,219 ​ 42,472 Interest payable ​ 23,111 ​ 20,313 Other accrued liabilities ​ 55,261 ​ 38,398 Total accounts payable and accrued liabilities ​ $ 385,159 ​ $ 304,719 ​ Deferred revenues consist primarily of deposits on advance bookings of hotel rooms and advance ticket sales at the Company’s entertainment properties, as well as uncollected attrition and cancellation fees. Other accrued liabilities include accruals for, among others, purchasing, meeting planner commissions and utilities. Income Taxes The Company establishes deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the difference between the financial statement and income tax carrying amounts of assets and liabilities using existing tax laws and tax rates. The Company reports a liability for unrecognized tax benefits resulting from uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, if any. The Company recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. See Note 10, “Income Taxes,” for more detail on the Company’s income taxes. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in the tax rate is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date of the rate change. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce its deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. The Company has considered all available positive and negative evidence in assessing the need for a valuation allowance. Deferred Management Rights Proceeds The Company has deferred and amortizes the proceeds received from Marriott that were allocated to the sale of the management rights, as discussed further in Note 5, “Deferred Management Rights Proceeds,” on a straight-line basis over the term of the hotel management agreements, including extensions, as a reduction in management fee expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Other Liabilities Other liabilities at December 31 consist of (amounts in thousands): ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 2022 2021 Pension and postretirement benefits liability ​ $ 21,148 ​ $ 20,061 Deferred compensation liability ​ 29,245 ​ 31,183 Derivative liabilities ​ ​ 1,164 ​ ​ 9,362 Other ​ 13,267 ​ 11,333 Total other liabilities ​ $ 64,824 ​ $ 71,939 ​ Deferred Financing Costs Deferred financing costs (“DFCs”) consist of loan fees and other costs of financing that are amortized over the term of the related financing agreements, using the effective interest method, and are generally presented as a reduction of the related debt liability. DFCs on the Company’s revolving credit facility and the OEG revolving credit facility are included in prepaid expenses and other assets when the related revolving credit facility has no outstanding balance. During 2022, 2021 and 2020, DFCs of $9.8 million, $8.8 million and $7.9 million, respectively, were amortized and recorded as interest expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Noncontrolling Interests OEG The noncontrolling interest in consolidated joint venture for 2022 represents the minority investor’s proportionate share of the assets and liabilities of OEG, adjusted for changes in the redemption value of the related put rights. The noncontrolling interest is classified in the mezzanine section of the consolidated balance sheets as the related redemption options do not meet the requirements for permanent equity classification because these redemption options may be redeemed by the holder as described above in “OEG Transaction.” The initial value of the noncontrolling interest in OEG, which included certain put rights, was estimated based on the purchase price received from the OEG Investor. In general, the carrying value will be based on the greater of the accumulated historical cost or the put right redemption value, and at December 31, 2022, approximates the fair value of the noncontrolling interest. An adjustment is also made for the OEG Investor’s proportionate share of income or loss in the accompanying consol

In June 2017, the Company entered into an agreement with the Industrial Development Board of the Metropolitan Government of Nashville and Davidson County (the “Board”) to implement a tax abatement plan related to Gaylord Opryland. The tax abatement plan provides for the capping of real property taxes for a period of eight years by legally transferring title to the Gaylord Opryland real property to the Board. The Board financed the acquisition of the Gaylord Opryland real property by issuing a $650 million industrial revenue bond to the Company. The Board then leased this property back to the Company. The Company is obligated to make lease payments equal to the debt service on the industrial revenue bond. No cash was exchanged, and no cash will be exchanged in connection with the Company’s lease payments under the lease. The tax abatement period extends through the term of the lease, which coincides with the nine-year maturity of the bond. At any time, the Company has the option to repurchase the real property at a de minimis amount. Due to the form of these transactions, the Company has not recorded the bond or the lease obligation associated with the sale lease-back transaction, and the cost of the Gaylord Opryland real property remains recorded on the balance sheet and is being depreciated over its estimated useful life.

Notes Receivable	3. Notes Receivable In connection with the development of Gaylord National, Prince George’s County, Maryland (“the County”) issued a bond with a face value of $95 million (“Series A Bond”) and an additional bond with a face value of $50 million (“Series B Bond”), which were delivered to the Company upon substantial completion and opening of Gaylord National in 2008. The interest rate on the Series A Bond and Series B Bond is 8.0% and 10.0%, respectively. The maturity dates of the Series A Bond and the Series B Bond are July 1, 2034 and September 1, 2037, respectively. Upon receipt in 2008, the Company calculated the present value of the future debt service payments from the Series A Bond and Series B Bond based on their effective interest rates of 8.04% and 11.42%, respectively, and recorded the notes receivable at their discounted values of $93.8 million and $38.3 million, respectively. The Company records the amortization of discount on these notes receivable as interest income over the terms of the notes. The Company is currently holding the bonds, which have aggregate carrying values and approximate fair values of $67.6 million and $71.2 million at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, net of a credit loss reserve of $38.0 million at each period. The Company is receiving the debt service on the notes receivable, which are payable from tax increments, hotel taxes and special hotel rental taxes generated from the development through the maturity date. The Company’s estimate of credit loss reserves is sensitive to the significant assumptions, which include the projections of hotel taxes (which are based on expected hotel revenues) and property taxes, both of which are affected by expectations about future market and economic conditions, particularly those in the Washington D.C. market. These assumptions are based on Level 3 inputs. Further, such assumptions are judgmental as the bonds and related projected cash flows continue for an extended period of time through 2037 and include uncertainty of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company has the intent and ability to hold the Series A Bond and Series B Bond to maturity and had at inception expected to receive all debt service payments due. As a result of reduced long-range tax revenue projections over the remaining life of the Series B Bond, in 2017, the Company no longer believed it would receive all debt service payments due under the note, and the Company considered the Series B Bond to be other-than-temporarily impaired (“OTTI”). The amount of the OTTI related to changing market conditions, or the increase in the discount rate, of $6.5 million was recorded as an increase to other comprehensive loss in 2017 and is amortized as an adjustment to the carrying value of the Series B Bond in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The discount rate was determined based on current market interest rates of notes receivable with comparable market ratings and current expectations about the timing of debt service payments under the note. In the first quarter of 2020, in accordance with the adoption of ASU No. 2016-13, as discussed in Note 1, the Company recorded an initial transition adjustment of $5.2 million and has since performed its quarterly assessment of credit losses under the new standard, which considers the estimate of projected tax revenues that will service the bonds over its remaining term. These tax revenue projections were updated each quarter in connection with the Company’s preparation of its quarterly financial statements as a result of the closure of Gaylord National during the COVID-19 pandemic and to reflect updated industry projections as to future anticipated operations of the hotel. As a result of these reduced tax revenue projections over the remaining life of the bonds, the Company increased its credit loss reserve by $38.0 million in 2020, which includes the initial transition adjustment. At December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Series B Bond is fully reserved. The Series A Bond is of higher priority than other tranches which fall between the Company’s two issuances. During 2022, 2021 and 2020, the Company recorded interest income of $5.3 million, $5.5 million and $6.2 million, respectively, on these bonds. The Company received payments of $9.1 million, $6.4 million and $8.8 million during 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively, relating to these notes receivable, which include principal and interest payments. At each of December 31, 2022 and 2021, before consideration of the credit loss reserve, the Company had accrued interest receivable related to these bonds of $41.0 million.

As amended, the Company’s credit facility consists of a $700.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Revolver”), prior to its repayment in June 2022, a $300.0 million senior secured term loan A (the “Term Loan A”), and a $500.0 million senior secured term loan B (the “Term Loan B”), each as discussed below. In 2020, the Company entered into three amendments (the “2020 Amendments”) to the Base Credit Agreement among the same parties, as discussed below. Additionally, the Company further amended the Base Credit Agreement in May 2021 and October 2021 to permit an acquisition during the Base Credit Agreement’s restricted period (as defined below) and an associated assumption of indebtedness, subject to certain conditions (such amendments, together with the 2020 Amendments, the “Amendments”; the Base Credit Agreement, as amended by the Amendments, the “Existing Credit Agreement”; the Existing Credit Amendment, as amended by the Fifth Amendment (as hereinafter defined), the “Credit Agreement”). Each of the Revolver and Term Loan B is guaranteed by the Company, each of the Company’s subsidiaries that own the Gaylord Hotels properties, other than Gaylord Rockies, and certain other of the Company’s subsidiaries. Each is secured by (i) a first mortgage lien on the real property of each of the Gaylord Hotels properties, excluding Gaylord Rockies, (ii) pledges of equity interests in the Company’s subsidiaries that own the Gaylord Hotels properties, excluding Gaylord Rockies, (iii) pledges of equity interests in the Operating Partnership, the subsidiaries that guarantee the Credit Agreement, and certain other of the Company’s subsidiaries, (iv) the personal property of the Company, the Operating Partnership and the subsidiaries that guarantee the Credit Agreement and (v) all proceeds and products from the Company’s Gaylord Hotels properties, excluding Gaylord Rockies. Advances are subject to a 55% borrowing base, based on the appraisal value of the Gaylord Hotels properties (reduced to 50% in the event one of the Gaylord Hotels properties is sold), in each case, excluding Gaylord Rockies. Assets of Gaylord Rockies are not subject to the liens of the credit facility. Each of the Revolver and Term Loan B contains certain covenants which, among other things, limit the incurrence of additional indebtedness, investments, dividends, transactions with affiliates, asset sales, acquisitions, mergers and consolidations, liens and encumbrances and other matters customarily restricted in such agreements. The Amendments provided for a waiver of the Credit Agreement’s financial covenants (the “Compliance Covenants”) through March 31, 2022 (the “Temporary Waiver Period”) and modified certain covenants through June 30, 2022 . In addition, the Amendments contain a covenant that the Company must maintain unrestricted liquidity (in the form of unrestricted cash on hand or undrawn availability under the Revolver) of at least $100 million. In the event the Company is unable to comply with the Credit Agreement’s Compliance Covenants at any time, it expects to further amend the Credit Agreement or take other mitigating actions prior to a potential breach. Beginning with the quarter ended June 30, 2022, the Company calculates compliance with the Compliance Covenants in the Credit Agreement using a designated annualized calculation based on the Company’s most recently completed fiscal quarter. Beginning with the quarter ended September 30, 2022, the Company is required to satisfy Compliance Covenants at the levels set forth in the Credit Agreement using a designated annualized calculation based on the Company’s most recently completed fiscal quarters, as applicable. Pursuant to the Amendments, the Company was required to use any proceeds from borrowings drawn until it demonstrated financial covenant compliance following the expiration of the Temporary Waiver Period (the “Restricted Period”) to fund operating expenses, debt service of the Company and its subsidiaries, and permitted capital expenditures and investments. The Company demonstrated such compliance in May 2022 and thereby ended the Restricted Period; thereafter, we are required to satisfy the Compliance Covenants as set forth in the Credit Agreement. On April 4, 2022, the Company entered into Amendment No. 5 (the “Fifth Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement, among the Company, as a guarantor, its subsidiary RHP Hotel Properties, LP, as borrower, certain other subsidiaries of the Company party thereto, as guarantors, certain subsidiaries of the Company party thereto, as pledgors, the lenders party thereto and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent. The Fifth Amendment provides for certain amendments to the Credit Agreement, each of which was effective upon the closing of the OEG Transaction. These amendments include, among others, the exclusion of OEG from negative covenants and certain restrictions related to certain equity issuances, investments, acquisitions, dispositions and indebtedness; changes to certain financial covenant requirements through December 2022; and a requirement that, following January 1, 2023, the Company satisfy the Compliance Covenants currently provided for in the Credit Agreement. If an event of default shall occur and be continuing under the Credit Agreement, the commitments under the Credit Agreement may be terminated and the principal amount outstanding under the Credit Agreement, together with all accrued unpaid interest and other amounts owing in respect thereof, may be declared immediately due and payable. $700 The maturity of the Revolver is March 31, 2024, with two additional six-month extension options, at our election. Borrowings under the Revolver bear interest at an annual rate equal to, at the Company’s option, either (i) LIBOR plus the applicable margin ranging from 1.40% to 1.95%, dependent upon the Company’s funded debt to total asset value ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) or (ii) a base rate as set in the Credit Agreement. At December 31, 2022, the interest rate on LIBOR-based borrowings under the Revolver is LIBOR plus 1.55%. Principal is payable in full at maturity. $300 The original maturity date of the Term Loan A was March 31, 2025. Borrowings bore interest at an annual rate equal to, at the Company’s option, either (i) LIBOR plus the applicable margin ranging from 1.35% to 1.90%, dependent upon the Company’s funded debt to total asset value ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) or (ii) a base rate as set in the Credit Agreement. As discussed below, in June 2022, we paid off the Term Loan A with proceeds from the OEG Term Loan . $500 The Term Loan B has a maturity of May 11, 2024. The applicable interest rate margins for borrowings under the Term Loan B are, at the Company’s option, either (i) LIBOR plus 2.00% or (ii) a base rate as set in the Credit Agreement. At December 31, 2022, the interest rate on the Term Loan B was LIBOR plus 2.00%. In October 2019, the Company entered into four interest rate swaps with a total notional amount of $350.0 million to fix the LIBOR portion of the interest rate at rates between 1.2235% and 1.2315%, through May 11, 2023. The Company has designated these swaps as effective cash flow hedges. The Term Loan B amortizes in equal quarterly installments in aggregate annual amounts equal to 1.0% of the original principal amount of $500.0 million, with the balance due at maturity. In addition, if for any fiscal year there is Excess Cash Flow (as defined in the Credit Agreement), payment of an additional principal payment is required. Amounts borrowed under the Term Loan B that are repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed. $600 Million 4.50% Senior Notes Due 2029 On February 17, 2021, the Operating Partnership and Finco completed the private placement of $600.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 4.50% senior notes due 2029 (the “$600 Million 4.50% Senior Notes”), which are guaranteed by the Company and its subsidiaries that guarantee the Company’s credit agreement. The $600 Million 4.50% Senior Notes and guarantees were issued pursuant to an indenture by and among the issuing subsidiaries, the guarantors and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee. The $600 Million 4.50% Senior Notes have a maturity date of February 15, 2029 and bear interest at 4.50% per annum, payable semi-annually in cash in arrears on February 15 and August 15 each year. The $600 Million 4.50% Senior Notes are general unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of the issuing subsidiaries and rank equal in right of payment with such subsidiaries’ existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness, including the Company’s $700 million 4.75% senior notes due 2027, and senior in right of payment to future subordinated indebtedness, if any. The $600 Million 4.50% Senior Notes are effectively subordinated to the issuing subsidiaries’ secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness. The guarantees rank equally in right of payment with the applicable guarantor’s existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness and senior in right of payment to any future subordinated indebtedness of such guarantor. The $600 Million 4.50% Senior Notes are effectively subordinated to any secured indebtedness of any guarantor to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness and structurally subordinated to all indebtedness and other obligations of the Operating Partnership’s subsidiaries that do not guarantee the $600 Million 4.50% Senior Notes. The net proceeds from the issuance of the $600 Million 4.50% Senior Notes totaled approximately $591 million, after deducting the initial purchasers’ discounts, commissions and offering expenses. The Company used a significant portion of these proceeds to tender and redeem its previous $400 million 5% senior notes and to repay all of the amounts outstanding under the Revolver at that time. The Company used the remaining net proceeds for general corporate purposes. The $600 Million 4.50% Senior Notes are redeemable before February 15, 2024, in whole or in part, at 100.00%, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not including, the redemption date, plus a make-whole premium. The $600 Million 4.50% Senior Notes will be redeemable, in whole or in part, at any time on or after February 15, 2024 at a redemption price expressed as a percentage of the principal amount thereof, which percentage is 102.250%, 101.500%, 100.750%, and 100.000% beginning on February 15 of 2024, 2025, 2026, and 2027, respectively, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not including, the redemption date. $700 Million 4.75% Senior Notes Due 2027 In September 2019, the Operating Partnership and Finco completed the private placement of $500.0 million in aggregate principal amount of senior notes due 2027 (the “$500 Million 4.75% Senior Notes”), which are guaranteed by the Company and its subsidiaries that guarantee the Credit Agreement. The $500 Million 4.75% Senior Notes and guarantees were issued pursuant to an indenture by and among the issuing subsidiaries and the guarantors and U.S. Bank National Association as trustee. The $500 Million 4.75% Senior Notes have a maturity date of October 15, 2027 and bear interest at 4.75% per annum, payable semi-annually in cash in arrears on April 15 and October 15 of each year. The $500 Million 4.75% Senior Notes are general unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of the issuing subsidiaries and rank equal in right of payment with such subsidiaries’ existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness and senior in right of payment to future subordinated indebtedness, if any. The $500 Million 4.75% Senior Notes are effectively subordinated to the issuing subsidiaries’ secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness. The guarantees rank equally in right of payment with the applicable guarantor’s existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness and senior in right of payment to any future subordinated indebtedness of such guarantor. The $500 Million 4.75% Senior Notes are effectively subordinated to any secured indebtedness of any guarantor to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness and structurally subordinated to all indebtedness and other obligations of the Operating Partnership’s subsidiaries that do not guarantee the $500 Million 4.75% Senior Notes. The net proceeds from the issuance of the $500 Million 4.75% Senior Notes totaled approximately $493 million, after deducting the initial purchasers’ discounts, commissions and offering expenses. The Company used substantially all of these proceeds to tender and redeem its previous $350 million 5% senior notes and to repay a portion of the amounts then outstanding under the Revolver. ​ In October 2019, the Operating Partnership and Finco completed a tack-on private placement of $200.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 4.75% senior notes due 2027 (the “additional 2027 notes”) at an issue price of 101.250% of their aggregate principal amount plus accrued interest from the September 2019 issue date for the $500 Million 4.75% Senior Notes. The additional 2027 notes and the $500 Million 4.75% Senior Notes constitute a single class of securities (collectively, the “$700 Million 4.75% Senior Notes”). All other terms and conditions of the additional 2027 notes are identical to the $500 Million 4.75% Senior Notes. ​ The net proceeds of the additional 2027 notes totaled approximately $199 million, after deducting the initial purchasers’ discounts, commissions and offering expenses. The Company used substantially all of these proceeds to repay a portion of the amounts then outstanding under the Revolver. The $700 Million 4.75% Senior Notes are redeemable, in whole or in part, at a redemption price expressed as a percentage of the principal amount thereof, which percentage is 103.563%, 102.375%, 101.188%, and 100.00% beginning on October 15 of 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025, respectively, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not including, the redemption date. The Company completed a registered offer to exchange the $700 Million 4.75% Senior Notes for registered notes with substantially identical terms as the $700 Million 4.75% Senior Notes in July 2020. $800 Million Gaylord Rockies Term Loan In July 2019, Aurora Convention Center Hotel, LLC and Aurora Convention Center Hotel Lessee, LLC, the entities that comprise Gaylord Rockies, entered into a Second Amended and Restated Loan Agreement (the “Gaylord Rockies Loan”) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent, which refinanced Gaylord Rockies’ previous $500 million construction loan and $39 million mezzanine loan, which were scheduled to mature in December 2019. The Gaylord Rockies Loan consists of an $800.0 million secured term loan facility, matures July 2, 2023 with three, one-year extension options, subject to certain requirements in the Gaylord Rockies Loan, and bears interest at LIBOR plus 2.50%. Simultaneous with closing, Gaylord Rockies entered into an interest rate swap to fix the LIBOR portion of the interest rate at 1.65% for the first three years of the loan. Additionally, the Company has entered into an additional interest rate swap to fix the LIBOR portion of the interest rate at 3.3410% for the fourth year of the loan. The Company has designated these interest rate swaps as effective cash flow hedges. The Gaylord Rockies Loan is secured by a deed of trust lien on the Gaylord Rockies real estate and related assets. The Company has entered into limited repayment and carry guaranties that, in the aggregate, guarantee repayment of 10% of the principal debt, together with interest and operating expenses, which are to be released once Gaylord Rockies achieves a certain debt service coverage threshold as defined in the Gaylord Rockies Loan. Generally, the Gaylord Rockies Loan is non-recourse to the Company, subject to (i) those limited guaranties, (ii) a completion guaranty in the event the expansion is pursued, and (iii) customary non-recourse carve-outs. ​ In June 2020, the Loan Parties entered into Amendment No. 1 (the “Loan Amendment”) to the Gaylord Rockies Loan, by and among the Loan Parties, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent, and the lenders from time to time party thereto. The Loan Amendment modified the Gaylord Rockies Loan to (i) provide for the ability to use cash for certain purposes, even during a Cash Sweep Period (as defined in the Loan Agreement), which Gaylord Rockies is in beginning in July 2020 through December 2022, (ii) extend the deadline for the Company to commence construction of an expansion to Gaylord Rockies, and (iii) provide favorable changes to the debt service coverage ratio provisions. The Loan Amendment includes restrictions on distributions to the Company’s subsidiaries that own Gaylord Rockies and requires a certain level of equity financing for a Gaylord Rockies expansion. ​ Block 21 CMBS Loan ​ At the closing of the purchase of Block 21 on May 31, 2022, a subsidiary of the Company assumed a $136 million, ten-year, non-recourse term loan secured by a mortgage on Block 21 (the “Block 21 CMBS Loan”). The Block 21 CMBS Loan has a fixed interest rate of 5.58% per annum, payable monthly, matures January 5, 2026, and payments are due monthly based on a 30-year ​ The Block 21 CMBS Loan contains customary financial covenants and other restrictions, including sponsor net worth and liquidity requirements, and debt service coverage ratio targets that Block 21 must meet in order to avoid a “Trigger Period,” the occurrence of which does not constitute a default. Block 21 was in a Trigger Period as of the date of its purchase by the Company and remains as such as of December 31, 2022. During the Trigger Period, any cash generated by Block 21 in excess of amounts necessary to fund loan obligations, budgeted operating expenses and specified reserves will not be distributed to Block 21. ​ In connection with the purchase of Block 21, the Company provided (i) limited guarantees to the Block 21 lenders under the Block 21 CMBS Loan via a guaranty agreement, a guaranty of completion agreement and an environmental indemnity, and (2) a letter of credit drawable by the Block 21 lenders in the event of a default of the Block 21 CMBS Loan. ​ Interest Rate Derivatives The Company has entered into interest rate swaps to manage interest rate risk associated with the Term Loan B, the Gaylord Rockies Loan and the OEG Term Loan. Each swap has been designated as a cash flow hedge whereby the Company receives variable-rate amounts in exchange for fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreement without exchange of the underlying principal amount. ​ The estimated fair values of the Company’s derivative financial instruments at December 31 are as follows (in thousands): ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Estimated Fair Value ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Asset (Liability) Balance ​ ​ ​ ​ Strike ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Notional ​ December 31, ​ December 31, Hedged Debt ​ Type ​ Rate ​ Index ​ Maturity Date ​ Amount ​ 2022 ​ 2021 Term Loan B ​ Interest Rate Swap ​ 1.2235% ​ 1-month LIBOR ​ May 11, 2023 ​ $ 87,500 ​ $ 1,096 ​ $ (733) Term Loan B ​ Interest Rate Swap ​ 1.2235% ​ 1-month LIBOR ​ May 11, 2023 ​ $ 87,500 ​ ​ 1,096 ​ ​ (733) Term Loan B ​ Interest Rate Swap ​ 1.2235% ​ 1-month LIBOR ​ May 11, 2023 ​ $ 87,500 ​ ​ 1,096 ​ ​ (733) Term Loan B ​ Interest Rate Swap ​ 1.2315% ​ 1-month LIBOR ​ May 11, 2023 ​ $ 87,500 ​ ​ 1,093 ​ ​ (742) Gaylord Rockies Term Loan ​ Interest Rate Swap ​ 1.6500% ​ 1-month LIBOR ​ August 1, 2022 ​ $ 800,000 ​ ​ - ​ ​ (6,421) Gaylord Rockies Term Loan ​ Interest Rate Swap ​ 3.3410% ​ 1-month LIBOR ​ August 1, 2023 ​ $ 800,000 ​ ​ 6,969 ​ ​ - OEG Term Loan ​ Interest Rate Swap ​ 4.5330% ​ 3-month SOFR ​ December 18, 2025 ​ $ 100,000 ​ ​ (1,164) ​ ​ - ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ $ 10,186 ​ $ (9,362) ​ Derivative financial instruments in an asset position are included in prepaid expenses and other assets and those in a liability position are included in other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. ​ The effect of the Company’s derivative financial instruments on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) for the years ended December 31 is as follows (in thousands): ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Amount of Gain (Loss) ​ Location of Gain (Loss) Amount of Gain (Loss) ​ ​ Recognized in OCI ​ Reclassified from Reclassified from Accumulated ​ ​ on Derivative ​ Accumulated OCI ​ OCI into Income (Expense) ​ ​ 2022 ​ 2021 into Income (Expense) 2022 ​ 2021 Derivatives in Cash Flow Hedging Relationships: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Interest rate swaps ​ $ 16,007 ​ $ 1,955 ​ Interest expense ​ $ (3,541) ​ $ (16,501) Total derivatives ​ $ 16,007 ​ $ 1,955 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ $ (3,541) ​ $ (16,501) ​ Reclassifications from accumulated other comprehensive loss for interest rate swaps are shown in the table above and included in interest expense. Total consolidated interest expense for 2022, 2021 and 2020 was $148.4 million, $125.3 million and $115.8 million, respectively. At December 31, 2022, the fair value of derivatives in a net liability position including accrued interest but excluding any adjustment for nonperformance risk related to these agreements was $1.2 million. As of December 31, 2022, the Company has not posted any collateral related to these agreements and was not in breach of any agreement provisions. If the Company had breached any of these provisions, it could have been required to settle its obligations under the agreements at the aggregate termination value of $1.2 million. In addition, the Company has an agreement with its derivative counterparty that contains a provision whereby the Company could be declared in default on its derivative obligations if repayment of the underlying indebtedness is accelerated by the lender due to the Company’s default on the indebtedness.

Deferred Management Rights Proceeds	5. Deferred Management Rights Proceeds On October 1, 2012, the Company consummated its agreement to sell the Gaylord Hotels brand and rights to manage the Gaylord Hotels properties (the “Management Rights”) to Marriott for $210.0 million in cash. Effective October 1, 2012, Marriott assumed responsibility for managing the day-to-day operations of the Gaylord Hotels properties pursuant to a management agreement for each such property. The Company allocated $190.0 million of the purchase price to the Management Rights, based on the Company’s estimates of the fair values for the respective components. For financial reporting purposes, the amount related to the Management Rights was deferred and is amortized on a straight-line basis over the 65-year term of the hotel management agreements, including extensions, as a reduction in management fee expense. In addition, Gaylord Rockies sold its management rights to Marriott for $4.9 million, which was also deferred and is amortized on a straight-line basis over the 70-year term of the hotel management agreement, including extensions, as a reduction in management fee expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

Restricted stock units granted to employees vest one A summary of the status of the Company’s restricted stock units as of December 31, 2022 and changes during the year ended December 31, 2022, is presented below: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Weighted ​ ​ ​ ​ Average ​ ​ ​ ​ Grant-Date Restricted Stock Units Shares Fair Value Nonvested shares at January 1, 2022 561,216 ​ $ 78.02 Granted 191,389 ​ 82.66 Vested (144,777) ​ 87.13 Canceled (22,817) ​ 75.99 Nonvested shares at December 31, 2022 585,011 ​ 77.33 ​ The fair value of all restricted stock units that vested during 2022, 2021 and 2020 was $12.9 million, $10.6 million and $4.9 million, respectively. At December 31, 2022, there was $23.8 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to restricted stock units granted under the Company’s equity incentive plans. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.1 years. The compensation cost that has been charged against pre-tax income for all of the Company’s stock-based compensation plans was $15.0 million, $12.1 million, and $8.7 million for 2022, 2021, and 2020, respectively. The total income tax benefit recognized in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for all of the Company’s stock-based employee compensation plans was $3.5 million, $2.9 million, and $2.1 million for 2022, 2021, and 2020, respectively. The actual tax benefit (expense) realized from exercise, vesting or cancellation of the stock-based employee compensation arrangements during 2022, 2021, and 2020 totaled $0.5 million, $0.4 million, and $(0.7) million, respectively, and is reflected as an adjustment to deferred tax liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Defined Benefit Plan Disclosure [Line Items]
Pension Plans	8. Pension Plans Prior to January 1, 2001, the Company maintained a noncontributory defined benefit pension plan in which substantially all of its employees were eligible to participate upon meeting the pension plan’s participation requirements. The benefits were based on years of service and compensation levels. On December 31, 2000, benefits credited under the plan’s previous formula were frozen. On January 1, 2001, the Company amended its defined benefit pension plan to determine future benefits using a cash balance formula. Under the cash formula, each participant had an account which was credited monthly with 3% of qualified earnings and the interest earned on their previous month-end cash balance. In addition, the Company included a “grandfather” clause which assures that those participating at January 1, 2001 will receive the greater of the benefit calculated under the cash balance plan and the benefit that would have been payable if the defined benefit plan had remained in existence. The benefit payable to a terminated vested participant upon retirement at age 65, or as early as age 55 if the participant had 15 years of service at the time the plan was frozen, is equal to the participant’s account balance, which increases with interest credits over time. At retirement, the employee generally receives the balance in the account as a lump sum. The funding policy of the Company is to contribute annually an amount which equals or exceeds the minimum required by applicable law. On December 31, 2001, the plan was frozen such that no new participants were allowed to enter the plan and existing participants were no longer eligible to earn service credits. As a result of increased lump-sum distributions from the retirement plan during 2022, 2021 and 2020, net settlement losses of $1.9 million, $1.4 million and $1.7 million were recognized in 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. These settlement losses have been classified as other gains and (losses), net in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

The Company determines the overall expected long-term rate of return on plan assets based on its estimate of the return that plan assets will provide over the period that benefits are expected to be paid out. In preparing this estimate, the Company assesses the rates of return on each current allocation of plan assets, and advice from its third-party actuary and investment consultants. The expected return on plan assets is a long-term assumption and generally does not significantly change annually. While historical returns are considered, the rate of return assumption is primarily based on projections of expected returns based on fair value, using economic data and financial models to estimate the probability of returns. The probability distribution of annualized returns for the portfolio using current asset allocations is used to determine the expected range of returns for a ten Plan Assets The plan’s overall strategy is to achieve a rate of return necessary to fund benefit payments by utilizing a variety of asset types, investment strategies and investment managers. The plan seeks to achieve a long-term rate of return over inflation resulting from income, capital gains, or both, which assists the plan in meeting its long-term objectives. The long-term target allocations for the plan’s assets are managed dynamically according to a sliding scale correlating with the funded status of the plan. As the plan’s funded status increases, allocations are moved away from equity securities toward fixed income securities. Equity securities primarily include large cap and mid cap companies. Fixed income securities primarily include corporate bonds of companies in diversified industries, mortgage-backed securities and U.S. Treasuries. Investments in hedge funds and private equity funds are not held by the plan. The allocation of the defined benefit pension plan’s assets at December 31 is as follows (amounts in thousands): ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Asset Class 2022 2021 Cash ​ $ 1,015 ​ $ 935 Mutual funds ​ 51,254 ​ 71,551 Total ​ $ 52,269 ​ $ 72,486 ​ All of the assets held by the plan consist of money market and mutual funds traded in an active market. The Company determined the fair value of these assets based on the net asset value per unit of the funds or the portfolio, which is based upon quoted market prices in an active market. Therefore, the Company has categorized these investments as Level 1. Periodically, and based on market conditions, the entire account is rebalanced to maintain the desired allocation and the investment policy is reviewed. Within each asset class, plan assets are allocated to various investment styles. Professional managers manage all assets of the plan, and professional advisors assist the plan in the attainment of its objectives. Expected Contributions and Benefit Payments The Company does not expect to be required to contribute to its defined benefit pension plan in 2023. Based on the Company’s assumptions discussed above, the Company expects to make the following estimated future benefit payments under the plan during the years ending December 31 (amounts in thousands): ​ ​ ​ ​ 2023 $ 7,242 2024 ​ 4,740 2025 ​ 6,586 2026 ​ 5,323 2027 ​ 6,174 2028 - 2032 ​ 24,491 ​ Other Information The Company also maintains non-qualified pension plans not funded, accumulated The Company’s obligation related to its qualified and non-qualified pension plans of $19.8 million and $18.4 million at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, is included in other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The change in the deferred net loss related to the Company’s retirement plans during 2022, 2021 and 2020 resulted in an increase (decrease) in equity of $(0.6) million, $9.9 million and $(2.3) million, respectively. Each of these adjustments to equity due to the change in the minimum liability is included in other comprehensive loss in the accompanying consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity (deficit) and noncontrolling interest. The combined net loss, amortization of net loss, and new prior service credit and amortization of prior service credit recognized in other comprehensive income (loss) for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 was $(0.6) million and $9.9 million, respectively. Included in accumulated other comprehensive loss at December 31, 2022 and 2021 are unrecognized actuarial losses of $26.7 million and $26.1 million ($20.0 million and $19.3 million net of tax), respectively, that have not yet been recognized in net periodic pension expense. Net losses are amortized into net periodic pension expense based on the life expectancy of plan participants expected to receive benefits, using a corridor approach based on the greater of projected benefit obligation or fair value of plan assets.

Equity
Equity	9. Equity Dividends During 2020, the Company’s board of directors declared a first quarter dividend of $0.95 per share of common stock, or an aggregate of $52.2 million in cash. Following the payment of the first quarter 2020 cash dividend, the Company suspended its regular quarterly dividend payments due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In September 2022, the Company reinstated its cash dividend, and the Company’s board of directors has subsequently declared total 2022 dividends in the amount of $0.35 per share of common stock or an aggregate of $19.4 million in cash. To maintain its qualification as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, the Company must distribute at least 90% of its REIT taxable income each year. The Company’s interim dividend policy provides that the Company will make minimum dividends of 100% of REIT taxable income annually, subject to the Company’s board of directors’ future determinations as to the amount of any distributions and the timing thereof. The dividend policy may be altered at any time by the Company’s board of directors. Treasury Stock On December 18, 2008, following approval by the Human Resources Committee and the Board of Directors, the Company and the Company’s Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer (“Executive”) entered into an amendment to Executive’s employment agreement. The amendment provided Executive with the option of making an irrevocable election to invest his existing Supplemental Employee Retirement Plan (“SERP”) benefit in Company common stock, which election Executive subsequently made. The investment was made by a rabbi trust in which, during January 2009, the independent trustee of the rabbi trust purchased shares of Company common stock in the open market in compliance with applicable law. Executive is only entitled to a distribution of the Company common stock held by the rabbi trust in satisfaction of his SERP benefit. As such, the Company believes that the ownership of shares of common stock by the rabbi trust and the distribution of those shares to Executive in satisfaction of his SERP benefit meets the requirements necessary so that the Company will not recognize any increase or decrease in expense as a result of subsequent changes in the value of the Company common stock, and the purchased shares are treated as treasury stock and the SERP benefit is included in additional paid-in capital in the Company’s accompanying consolidated financial statements. The increase in treasury stock for a particular year represents dividends received on shares of Company common stock held by the rabbi trust. At-the-Market (“ATM”) Equity Distribution Agreement On May 27, 2021, the Company entered into an ATM equity distribution agreement (the “ATM Agreement”) with a consortium of banks (each a “Sales Agent” and collectively, the “Sales Agents”), pursuant to which the Company may offer and sell to or through the Sales Agents (the “ATM Offering”), from time to time, up to 4.0 million shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock in such share amounts as the Company may specify by notice to the Sales Agents, in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the ATM Agreement. Under the ATM Agreement, the Company will set the parameters for the sale of the Shares, including the number of the Shares to be issued, the time period during which sales are requested to be made, limitation on the number of the Shares that may be sold in any one trading day and any minimum price below which sales may not be made. Each Sales Agent will use its commercially reasonable efforts, consistent with its normal trading and sales practices, to sell such Shares up to the amount specified, and otherwise in accordance with mutually agreed terms between the Sales Agent and the Company. Neither the Company nor any of the Sales Agents are obligated to sell any specific number or dollar amount of Shares under the ATM Agreement. The Sales Agents will be paid a commission of up to 2.0% of the gross sales price from the sale of any Shares. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from any sale of Shares No shares were issued under the ATM Agreement during 2022 or 2021.

Income Taxes	10. Income Taxes The Company has elected to be taxed as a REIT effective January 1, 2013, pursuant to the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. As a REIT, the Company generally will not be subject to federal corporate income taxes on ordinary taxable income and capital gains income from real estate investments that it distributes to its stockholders. The Company pays federal and state corporate income taxes on earnings of its taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRSs”). The income tax provision for continuing operations consists of the following (amounts in thousands): ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 2022 2021 2020 CURRENT: ​ ​ ​ Federal ​ $ (21,936) ​ $ 126 ​ $ (101) State ​ (8,595) ​ (1,077) ​ (457) Total current provision ​ (30,531) ​ (951) ​ (558) DEFERRED: ​ ​ ​ Federal ​ (9,115) ​ (3,646) ​ (13,565) State ​ 871 ​ (360) ​ (12,961) Total deferred provision ​ (8,244) ​ (4,006) ​ (26,526) Total provision for income taxes ​ $ (38,775) ​ $ (4,957) ​ $ (27,084) ​ Due to the financial statement impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, and in connection with the preparation of the consolidated financial statements included herein, the Company reassessed the realizability of net deferred tax assets during 2020. As a result, the Company’s tax provision for 2020 includes $26.7 million in expense related to the recording of a valuation allowance on the 2020 beginning net deferred tax assets of its TRSs. The Company is required to distribute at least 90% of its annual taxable income, excluding net capital gains, to its stockholders in order to maintain its qualification as a REIT. The taxability of distributions to stockholders is determined by the Company’s earnings and profits, which differs from net income (loss) reported for financial reporting purposes. The Company made no cash distributions in 2021. The estimated taxability of cash distributions to common shareholders is shown in the table below (per common share) (unaudited). ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 2022 2021 2020 Ordinary income ​ $ 0.28 ​ $ — ​ $ — Capital gains ​ 0.07 ​ — ​ 0.05 Return of capital ​ — ​ — ​ 1.80 ​ ​ $ 0.35 ​ $ — ​ $ 1.85 ​ The differences between the income tax provision calculated at the statutory U.S. federal income tax rate of 21% and the actual income tax provision recorded for continuing operations are as follows (amounts in thousands): ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 2022 2021 2020 Statutory federal income tax (provision) benefit ​ $ (36,482) ​ $ 39,868 ​ $ 91,085 Adjustment for nontaxable income of the REIT ​ 3,565 ​ (16,379) ​ (33,116) Adjustment for noncontrolling interest in consolidated joint venture ​ ​ — ​ ​ (1,834) ​ ​ (5,010) State tax (provision) benefit (net of federal taxes) ​ (13,597) ​ 8,581 ​ 5,876 Permanent share-based compensation adjustment ​ 440 ​ 329 ​ (579) Other permanent items ​ (365) ​ (281) ​ (200) Change in federal valuation allowance ​ 1,914 ​ (25,698) ​ (65,368) Change in state valuation allowance (net of federal taxes) ​ 5,873 ​ (9,264) ​ (19,293) Other ​ (123) ​ (279) ​ (479) ​ ​ $ (38,775) ​ $ (4,957) ​ $ (27,084) ​ Significant components of the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities at December 31 are as follows (amounts in thousands): ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 2022 2021 DEFERRED TAX ASSETS: ​ ​ Accounting reserves and accruals ​ $ 26,293 ​ $ 26,340 Defined benefit plan ​ 2,215 ​ 1,074 Deferred management rights proceeds ​ 42,875 ​ 43,009 Federal and State net operating loss carryforwards ​ 97,832 ​ 105,484 Tax credits and other carryforwards ​ 5,182 ​ 1,484 Other assets ​ 5,124 ​ 4,477 Total deferred tax assets ​ 179,521 ​ 181,868 Valuation allowance ​ (118,015) ​ (125,387) Total deferred tax assets, net of valuation allowance ​ 61,506 ​ 56,481 DEFERRED TAX LIABILITIES: ​ ​ Property and equipment, net ​ 67,744 ​ 57,035 Investment in joint ventures ​ ​ 518 ​ ​ 101 Other liabilities ​ 6,159 ​ 4,016 Total deferred tax liabilities ​ 74,421 ​ 61,152 Net deferred tax liabilities ​ $ (12,915) ​ $ (4,671) ​ TRS federal net operating loss carryforwards at December 31, 2022 totaled $349.0 million, resulting in a deferred tax asset of $73.3 million.

These federal net operating loss carryforwards will expire between 2034 2037 been provided for certain federal deferred tax assets. The valuation allowance related to federal deferred tax assets increased (decreased) $(1.6) million, $23.0 million and $65.9 million in 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. State net operating loss carryforwards at December 31, 2022 totaled $494.0 million, resulting in a deferred tax benefit of $24.6 million, which will expire between 2024 2037 The Company has concluded IRS examinations of the TRS through the 2015 tax year. For federal income tax purposes and substantially all the states with which the Company has nexus, the statute of limitations has expired through 2018. However, the Company has state net operating loss carryforwards from closed years, which could be adjusted upon audit. The Company is routinely subject to other various jurisdictional income tax audits; however, there were no outstanding state or local audits at December 31, 2022. In addition, the Company has evaluated the effects of the Inflation Reduction Act and believes that it has no material effect on the Company’s financial statements. At December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company had no accruals for unrecognized tax benefits. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions, if any, in income tax expense. At December 31, 2022 2021

Commitments and Contingencies In April 2019, a subsidiary of the Company acquired a 50% equity interest in Circle and has made capital contributions of $31.0 million through December 31, 2022. In addition, the Company intends to contribute up to an additional $12.2 million through December 31, 2023 for working capital needs. The Company entered into a tax protection agreement in connection with the December 31, 2018 purchase of additional interests in the Gaylord Rockies joint venture, which will generally require the Company to, among other things, indemnify certain minority partners that were members of the Gaylord Rockies joint venture for 50% of any income taxes incurred by them as a result of a direct or indirect sale or other disposition of the Gaylord Rockies joint venture, within seven years of closing, and for 100% of any income taxes incurred by them as a result of the failure to comply with certain obligations related to nonrecourse liability allocations and debt guarantee opportunities for the purpose of protecting such parties’ tax bases. In connection with the purchase of Block 21, the Company provided (i) limited guarantees to the Block 21 lenders under the Block 21 CMBS Loan via a guaranty agreement, a guaranty of completion agreement and an environmental indemnity, and (ii) a letter of credit drawable by the Block 21 lenders in the event of a default of the Block 21 CMBS Loan. The Company is self-insured up to a stop loss for certain losses relating to workers’ compensation claims and general liability claims through September 30, 2012, and for certain losses related to employee medical benefits through December 31, 2012. The Company’s insurance program subsequently transitioned to a low or no deductible program. As of January 1, 2022, the Company again became self-insured for certain losses related to employee medical benefits. The Company has purchased stop-loss coverage in order to limit its exposure to any significant levels of claims relating to workers’ compensation, employee medical benefits and general liability for which it is self-insured. The Company has entered into employment agreements with certain officers, which provide for severance payments upon certain events, including after a change of control. The Company, in the ordinary course of business, is involved in certain legal actions and claims on a variety of other matters. It is the opinion of management that such legal actions will not have a material effect on the financial statements of the Company.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Measurements	12 Months Ended

Fair Value Measurements
Fair Value Measurements	12. Fair Value Measurements The Company uses a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers include: Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions. The investments held by the Company in connection with its deferred compensation plan consist of money market and mutual funds traded in an active market. The Company determined the fair value of these assets based on the net asset value per unit of the funds or the portfolio, which is based upon quoted market prices in an active market. Therefore, the Company has categorized these investments as Level 1. The Company’s interest rate swaps consist of over-the-counter swap contracts, which are not traded on a public exchange. The Company determines the fair value of these swap contracts based on a widely accepted valuation methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash flows and the discounted expected variable cash flow, using interest rates derived from observable market interest rate curves and volatilities, with appropriate adjustments for any significant impact of non-performance risk of the parties to the swap contracts. Therefore, these swap contracts have been classified as Level 2. The Company has consistently applied these valuation techniques in all periods presented and believes it has obtained the most accurate information available for the types of instruments it holds. The Company’s assets and liabilities that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis at December 31, were as follows (in thousands): ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Markets for Observable Unobservable ​ ​ December 31, ​ Identical Assets ​ Inputs ​ Inputs ​ ​ 2022 ​ (Level 1) ​ (Level 2) ​ (Level 3) Deferred compensation plan investments ​ $ 29,245 ​ $ 29,245 ​ $ — ​ $ — Variable to fixed interest rate swaps ​ ​ 11,350 ​ ​ — ​ ​ 11,350 ​ ​ — Total assets measured at fair value ​ $ 40,595 ​ $ 29,245 ​ $ 11,350 ​ $ — ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Variable to fixed interest rate swaps ​ $ 1,164 ​ $ — ​ $ 1,164 ​ $ — Total liabilities measured at fair value ​ $ 1,164 ​ $ — ​ $ 1,164 ​ $ — ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Markets for Observable Unobservable ​ ​ December 31, ​ Identical Assets ​ Inputs ​ Inputs ​ ​ 2021 ​ (Level 1) ​ (Level 2) ​ (Level 3) Deferred compensation plan investments ​ $ 31,183 ​ $ 31,183 ​ $ — ​ $ — Total assets measured at fair value ​ $ 31,183 ​ $ 31,183 ​ $ — ​ $ — ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Variable to fixed interest rate swaps ​ $ 9,362 ​ $ — ​ $ 9,362 ​ $ — Total liabilities measured at fair value ​ $ 9,362 ​ $ — ​ $ 9,362 ​ $ — ​ The remainder of the assets and liabilities held by the Company at December 31, 2022 are not required to be measured at fair value, and the carrying values of these assets and liabilities approximate fair value, except as described below. As discussed in Note 4, “Debt,” the Company has outstanding $600.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the $600 Million 4.50% Senior Notes. The carrying value of these notes at December 31, 2022 was $591.8 million, net of unamortized DFCs. The fair value of these notes, based upon quoted market prices (Level 1), was $522.5 million at December 31, 2022. As discussed in Note 4, “Debt,” the Company has outstanding $700.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the $700 Million 4.75% Senior Notes. The carrying value of these notes at December 31, 2022 was $693.7 million, net of unamortized DFCs and premiums. The fair value of these notes, based upon quoted market prices (Level 1), was $638.0 million at December 31, 2022. See the “Block 21 Transaction” section of Note 1 for additional disclosures related to the fair value measurements used in accounting for the purchase of Block 21.

Description of the Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Business Segments	Business Segments Hospitality The Hospitality segment includes the Gaylord Hotels branded hotels, the Inn at Opryland and the AC Hotel, each of which is managed by Marriott pursuant to a management agreement for each hotel. Entertainment The Entertainment segment includes the Grand Ole Opry, the Ryman Auditorium, WSM-AM, Ole Red, the General Jackson, the Wildhorse Saloon, Block 21, and the Company’s investment in the Circle joint venture, among various others. Marriott manages the day-to-day operations of the General Jackson, the Wildhorse Saloon and the W Austin, which is part of the Block 21 complex, pursuant to management agreements. Corporate and Other The Corporate and Other segment includes operating and general and administrative expenses related to the overall management of the Company which are not allocated to the other reportable segments, including certain costs for the Company’s retirement plans, equity-based compensation plans, information technology, human resources, accounting, and other administrative expenses.
Principles of Consolidation	Principles of Consolidation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. The Company’s investments in non-controlled entities in which it has the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies are accounted for by the equity method. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company analyzes its variable interests, including loans, guarantees, management agreements, leasing arrangements and equity investments, to determine if an entity in which it has a variable interest is a variable interest entity (“VIE”). This analysis primarily includes a qualitative review, which is based on a review of the design of the entity, its organizational structure, including decision-making ability, and relevant financial agreements. This analysis is also used to determine if the Company must consolidate the VIE as the primary beneficiary. For periods prior to its achieving 100% ownership of the Gaylord Rockies joint venture in May 2021, management concluded that the Company was the primary beneficiary of the Gaylord Rockies joint venture, which was a VIE. As such, the Company consolidated the assets, liabilities and results of operations of the Gaylord Rockies joint venture in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The portion of the Gaylord Rockies joint venture that the Company did not previously own was recorded as noncontrolling interest in consolidated joint venture in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet, and any previous adjustment necessary to reflect the noncontrolling interest at its redemption value was shown in the accompanying consolidated statements of equity (deficit) and noncontrolling interest. As Gaylord Rockies is now wholly-owned by the Company, it is no longer considered a VIE. See “Noncontrolling Interest” below for further discussion. The terms of the Company's joint venture agreement in Circle provide that the Company and its joint venture partner each share the authority to make major decisions in the joint venture, including operating plans, entering into certain contracts, admitting additional members of the joint venture, issuing additional membership interests, and amending the operating agreement. In addition, the officers of Circle are not employees of the Company. Based on management’s analysis of the joint venture agreement, management concluded that the Company is not the primary beneficiary of this variable interest entity and accounts for this investment under the equity method. See “OEG Transaction” in this Note 1 for further discussion.
Property and Equipment	Property and Equipment Property and equipment are stated at cost or at estimated fair value if recorded in connection with purchase accounting. Improvements and significant renovations that extend the lives of existing assets are capitalized. Interest on funds borrowed to finance the construction of major capital additions not funded through furniture, fixtures and equipment reserves is included in the cost of the applicable capital addition. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Property and equipment are generally depreciated using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives: ​ ​ ​ ​ Buildings 40 years Land improvements 20 years Furniture, fixtures and equipment 5-8 years Leasehold improvements The shorter of the lease term or useful life ​
Cash and Cash Equivalents - Unrestricted	Cash and Cash Equivalents — Unrestricted The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Cash and Cash Equivalents - Restricted	Cash and Cash Equivalents — Restricted Restricted cash and cash equivalents primarily represent funds held by our property manager for furniture, fixtures and equipment reserves. In addition, the Company holds certificates of deposit with an original maturity of greater than three months in order to secure its Tennessee workers’ compensation self-insurance obligations. Beginning in July 2020, Gaylord Rockies was in a cash sweep period pursuant to the Gaylord Rockies term loan agreement, and such cash amounts are also included in restricted cash. Gaylord Rockies exited this cash sweep period in January 2023. Block 21 was in a Trigger Period (as defined below) as of the date of its purchase by the Company and remains so at December 31, 2022, and such cash amounts are also included in restricted cash.
Accounts Receivable	Accounts Receivable The Company’s accounts receivable are primarily generated by meetings and convention attendees’ room nights and food and beverage. Receivables arising from these sales are not collateralized. Credit risk associated with the accounts receivable is minimized due to the large and diverse nature of the customer base.
Credit Loss Reserves on Accounts Receivable	Credit Loss Reserves on Accounts Receivable The Company provides credit loss reserves based upon a percentage of accounts receivable that considers historical write-offs, current economic conditions, and management’s expectations about future economic conditions, as well as periodic evaluations of the aging of accounts receivable.
Inventory	Inventories consist primarily of food and beverage inventory for resale and retail inventory sold in the Entertainment segment. Inventory is carried at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is computed on an average cost basis.
Intangible Assets	Intangible Assets In connection with the Company’s purchase price allocation of the Gaylord Rockies joint venture, the Company acquired certain definite-lived intangibles, which are shown on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Included in these intangibles are the original estimated fair value of advanced bookings of $125.5 million and the original estimated fair value related to the Gaylord Hotels trade name, which Marriott owns, of $115.3 million. The advanced bookings asset was amortized on a straight-line basis over a period of 3.5 years, which corresponded with the period in which the advanced bookings related, and the value in the trade name is being amortized on a straight-line basis over 30 years, which is the period of the Marriott management agreement.
Investments	Investments From time to time, the Company has owned minority interest investments in certain businesses. Investments in entities that the Company does not control but in which it exercises significant influence are accounted for using the equity method of accounting.
Income Taxes	Income Taxes The Company establishes deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the difference between the financial statement and income tax carrying amounts of assets and liabilities using existing tax laws and tax rates. The Company reports a liability for unrecognized tax benefits resulting from uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, if any. The Company recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. See Note 10, “Income Taxes,” for more detail on the Company’s income taxes. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in the tax rate is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date of the rate change. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce its deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. The Company has considered all available positive and negative evidence in assessing the need for a valuation allowance.
Deferred Management Rights Proceeds	Deferred Management Rights Proceeds The Company has deferred and amortizes the proceeds received from Marriott that were allocated to the sale of the management rights, as discussed further in Note 5, “Deferred Management Rights Proceeds,” on a straight-line basis over the term of the hotel management agreements, including extensions, as a reduction in management fee expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
Deferred Financing Costs	Deferred Financing Costs Deferred financing costs (“DFCs”) consist of loan fees and other costs of financing that are amortized over the term of the related financing agreements, using the effective interest method, and are generally presented as a reduction of the related debt liability. DFCs on the Company’s revolving credit facility and the OEG revolving credit facility are included in prepaid expenses and other assets when the related revolving credit facility has no outstanding balance. During 2022, 2021 and 2020, DFCs of $9.8 million, $8.8 million and $7.9 million, respectively, were amortized and recorded as interest expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
Noncontrolling Interest	Noncontrolling Interests OEG The noncontrolling interest in consolidated joint venture for 2022 represents the minority investor’s proportionate share of the assets and liabilities of OEG, adjusted for changes in the redemption value of the related put rights. The noncontrolling interest is classified in the mezzanine section of the consolidated balance sheets as the related redemption options do not meet the requirements for permanent equity classification because these redemption options may be redeemed by the holder as described above in “OEG Transaction.” The initial value of the noncontrolling interest in OEG, which included certain put rights, was estimated based on the purchase price received from the OEG Investor. In general, the carrying value will be based on the greater of the accumulated historical cost or the put right redemption value, and at December 31, 2022, approximates the fair value of the noncontrolling interest. An adjustment is also made for the OEG Investor’s proportionate share of income or loss in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. Gaylord Rockies Until the Company’s buyout of the minority partners’ interest in the Gaylord Rockies joint venture in 2021, the noncontrolling interest in consolidated joint venture for 2021 and 2020 represents the previous minority partners’ proportionate share of the assets and liabilities of the Gaylord Rockies joint venture. An adjustment was made in 2021 and 2020 for the minority partners’ proportionate share of income or loss in the joint venture in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Pursuant to the amended and restated joint venture agreements for the Gaylord Rockies joint venture, minority partners each had a put right to require the Company to purchase their joint venture interests at a defined appraised value during an annual window period, or under certain other circumstances, in consideration of cash or OP Units of the Operating Partnership. During 2020, put right holders totaling 0.5% ownership in the Gaylord Rockies joint venture exercised their put rights for $2.9 million in cash, and the remaining put right holders, totaling 2.4% ownership in the Gaylord Rockies joint venture, exercised their put rights for approximately $14.0 million in OP Units, which was equivalent to approximately 0.4 million OP Units. Such OP Units have economic terms that are substantially similar to shares of the Company’s common stock and are redeemable at the option of the holders thereof. Redemptions may be paid in cash, or if the Company so elects, in shares of the Company’s common stock on a one-for-one basis, subject to certain adjustments in accordance with the Operating Partnership’s limited partnership agreement. OP Units The noncontrolling interest in the Operating Partnership represents the limited partners’ proportionate share of the equity of the Operating Partnership. The noncontrolling interest is classified in the equity section of the consolidated balance sheets, separately from stockholders’ equity, as the related redemption options are redeemable for cash, or if the Company so elects, in unregistered shares of the Company’s common stock on a one-for-one basis, subject to certain adjustments. An adjustment is made for the limited partners’ proportionate share of income or loss in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. At December 31, 2022, 0.4 million outstanding OP Units, or less than 1% of the outstanding OP Units, were held by the noncontrolling limited partners and are included as a component of equity in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The Company owns, directly or indirectly, the remaining 99.3% of the outstanding OP Units.
Revenue Recognition	Revenue Recognition Revenues from occupied hotel rooms are recognized over time as the daily hotel stay is provided to hotel groups and guests. Revenues from concessions, food and beverage sales and group meeting services are recognized over the period or at the point in time those goods or services are delivered to the hotel group or guest. Revenues from ancillary services at the Company’s hotels, such as spa, parking, and transportation services, are generally recognized at the time the goods or services are provided. Cancellation fees and attrition fees, which are charged to groups when they do not fulfill the minimum number of room nights or minimum food and beverage spending requirements originally contracted for, are generally recognized as revenue in the period the Company determines it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of revenue recognized will not occur, which is typically the period these fees are collected. The Company generally recognizes revenues from the Entertainment segment at the point in time that services are provided or goods are delivered or shipped to the customer, as applicable. Entertainment segment revenues from licenses of content are recognized at the point in time the content is delivered to the licensee and the licensee can use and benefit from the content. Revenue related to content provided to Circle is eliminated for the portion of Circle that the Company owns. The Company is required to collect certain taxes from customers on behalf of government agencies and remit these to the applicable governmental entity on a periodic basis. These taxes are collected from customers at the time of purchase but are not included in revenue. The Company records a liability upon collection from the customer and relieves the liability when payments are remitted to the applicable governmental agency.
Deferred Revenue	The Company records deferred revenues when cash payments are received in advance of its performance obligations, primarily related to advanced deposits on hotel rooms in its Hospitality segment and advanced ticketing in its Entertainment segment. At December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company had $136.5 million and $116.8 million, respectively, in deferred revenues, which are included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Of the amount outstanding at December 31, 2021, approximately $49.4 million was recognized in revenues during 2022.
Management Fees	Management FeesManagement fees are presented in the consolidated statements of operations net of the amortization of the deferred management rights proceeds discussed further in Note 5, “Deferred Management Rights Proceeds.”
Advertising Costs	Advertising Costs Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and were $55.1 million, $36.2 million, and $23.0 million for 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Stock-Based Compensation	Stock-Based Compensation The Company has stock-based employee compensation plans, which are described more fully in Note 7, “Stock Plans.” The Company accounts for its stock-based compensation plan under the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 718, “ Compensation – Stock Compensation
Preopening Costs	Preopening Costs The Company expenses the costs associated with start-up activities and organization costs associated with its development or reopening of hotels and significant attractions as incurred. The Company’s preopening costs during 2022 include costs associated with Ole Red Nashville International Airport, which was completed in May 2022. The Company’s preopening costs during 2021 include costs associated with the Gaylord Palms expansion, which was completed in April 2021. The Company’s preopening costs during 2020 include costs associated with Ole Red Orlando, which opened in June 2020, and the Gaylord Palms expansion.
Derivative Financial Instruments	Derivative Financial Instruments The Company has entered into and may in the future enter into additional interest rate swap agreements to hedge against interest rate fluctuations. The Company does not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes and currently does not hold any derivatives that are not designated as hedges. For derivatives designated as and that qualify as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk, the gain or loss on the derivative resulting from recording each instrument at estimated fair value is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss and subsequently reclassified to interest expense in the same period during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. These amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive loss will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on the related variable-rate debt. The Company estimates that $11.6 million will be reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income as a reduction to interest expense in the next twelve months.
Impairment of Long-Lived and Other Assets	Impairment of Long-Lived and Other Assets In accounting for the Company’s long-lived and other assets (including its property and equipment and intangible assets), the Company assesses its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets or asset group may not be recoverable. Recoverability of property and equipment and definite-lived intangible assets that will continue to be used is measured by comparing the carrying amount of the asset or asset group to the related total future undiscounted net cash flows. If an asset or asset group’s carrying value is not recoverable through those cash flows, the asset group is considered to be impaired. The impairment is measured by the excess of the assets’ carrying amount over their fair value, which is estimated using discounted cash flow analyses that utilize comprehensive cash flow projections, as well as observable market data to the extent available. The Company recorded no impairment losses during 2022, 2021 or 2020.
Income (Loss) Per Share	Income (Loss) Per Share Income (loss) per share is measured as basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding after considering the effect of conversion of dilutive instruments, calculated using the treasury stock method or if-converted method, as applicable. Net income (loss) per share amounts are calculated as follows for the years ended December 31 (income (loss) and share amounts in thousands):
Accounting Estimates	Accounting Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Newly Issued Accounting Standards	Newly Issued Accounting Standards In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, “ Reference Rate Reform – Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting ,” which provides temporary optional expedients and exceptions to the existing guidance on contract modifications and hedge accounting to ease the financial reporting burdens of the expected market transition from the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates, such as the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”). The guidance in ASU 2020-04 is optional, effective immediately, and may be elected over time as reference rate reform activities occur generally through December 31, 2022. In December 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2022-06, “ Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848 ,” which extends the transition period for the shift from LIBOR to December 2024. During 2020, the Company elected to apply the hedge accounting expedients related to probability and the assessments of effectiveness for future LIBOR-indexed cash flows to assume that the index upon which future hedged transactions will be based matches the index on the corresponding derivatives. Application of these expedients preserves the presentation of derivatives consistent with past presentation.
