Andrew M. Sims, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Sotherly Hotels Inc., commented, “From a transaction perspective the company had a very productive quarter. We launched our boutique collection at the Georgian Terrace hotel, acquired all remaining interests in our Hollywood hotel, completed the conversion of our Jacksonville hotel to DoubleTree by Hilton, sold the Atlanta outparcel at a considerable profit, set the table for the October conversion of our Laurel hotel to DoubleTree by Hilton, refinanced our Hollywood and Jacksonville hotels, and neared completion of rooms renovations at our Houston property.
We believe this transaction activity will significantly improve future operating results for the company, however, in the quarter our short term earnings were negatively affected. We had a significant amount of room inventory off line in Houston, Atlanta, Laurel, and Jacksonville. The timing and seasonality of the Hollywood purchase created negative results. The refinancings required us to write off unamortized loan costs from the retired mortgages.
We believe the company will benefit greatly from all the hard work completed in the third quarter. The best way to describe the third quarter is we experienced some growing pains. We look forward to reporting greatly improved operating results in the fourth quarter and thereafter.”
Subsequent Events
On October 20, 2015, the Company secured $2.0 million additional proceeds on its mortgage loan on the DoubleTree by Hilton Jacksonville Riverfront property as part of an earn-out pursuant to the terms of the previously disclosed loan agreement.
Balance Sheet/Liquidity
At September 30, 2015, the Company had approximately $21.8 million of available cash and cash equivalents, of which approximately $6.3 million was reserved for real estate taxes, insurance, capital improvements and certain other expenses or otherwise restricted. The Company had approximately $321.7 million in outstanding debt at a weighted average interest rate of approximately 5.24%.
On September 28, 2015, the Company obtained a $60.0 million secured mortgage with Bank of America, N.A. collateralized by a first mortgage on the Crowne Plaza Hollywood Beach Resort. The mortgage carries a 10-year term, bears interest at a rate of 4.913% and provides for level payments of principal and interest on a monthly basis under a 30-year amortization schedule. The loan may not be prepaid until 120 days prior to the maturity date, which is October 1, 2025. The Company used the proceeds of the mortgage to repay the existing indebtedness, to pay closing costs and for general corporate purposes.
On September 2, 2015, the Company closed on the sale of a 0.3 acre parcel of excess land adjacent to its Atlanta, Georgia hotel for $2.2 million. The parcel was included in the acquisition of the Georgian Terrace in March 2014. The Company used the proceeds of the sale for general corporate purposes.
Portfolio Update
At the DoubleTree by Hilton Jacksonville Riverfront, an estimated $7.2 million renovation and product improvement plan is substantially complete. As of September 30, 2015, the Company had incurred costs totaling approximately $6.9 million.
At the Company’s Crowne Plaza hotel in Houston, Texas, renovations of the guestrooms and public spaces totaling an estimated $4.9 million are underway. As of September 30, 2015, the Company had incurred costs totaling approximately $3.3 million toward this renovation. Renovations are expected to be completed in March 2016. We expect to convert the hotel to independent status as The Whitehall Hotel, as a member of Preferred Hotels & Resorts.
At the Company’s hotel in Atlanta, Georgia, an estimated $6.8 million guestroom renovation is underway. As of September 30, 2015, the Company had incurred costs totaling approximately $4.8 million toward this renovation. Renovations are expected to be completed in
April 2016. On September 24, 2015, the hotel became The Georgian Terrace by Sotherly Hotels, the first signature property of our premier boutique collection.
At the DoubleTree by Hilton Laurel hotel in Laurel, Maryland, an estimated $4.7 million renovation and product improvement plan is substantially complete. As of September 30, 2015, the Company had incurred costs totaling approximately $3.9 million toward this renovation. The remaining renovation activity is expected to be completed in December 2015.
2015 Outlook
The Company is updating its prior guidance for 2015, accounting for current and expected performance within its portfolio taking into account the impact of significant repositioning of the Company’s assets in Laurel, Maryland and Jacksonville, Florida, continued deterioration within the Houston, Texas market, and revisions of estimated real estate tax liabilities, particularly at our properties in Savannah, Georgia and Atlanta, Georgia, based on the progress of our appeals in those jurisdictions. The guidance is predicated on estimates of occupancy and ADR that are consistent with the most recent 2015 calendar year forecasts by Smith Travel Research for the market segments in which the Company operates.
The table below reflects the Company’s projections, within a range, of various financial measures for 2015, as compared to its prior guidance for 2015:

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company considers the non-GAAP measures of FFO (including FFO per share), EBITDA and hotel EBITDA to be key supplemental measures of the Company’s performance and could be considered along with, not alternatives to, net income (loss) as a measure of the Company’s performance. These measures do not represent cash generated from operating activities determined by generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) or amounts available for the Company’s discretionary use and should not be considered alternative measures of net income, cash flows from operations or any other operating performance measure prescribed by GAAP.
FFO
Industry analysts and investors use Funds from Operations (“FFO”), as a supplemental operating performance measure of an equity REIT. FFO is calculated in accordance with the definition adopted by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”). FFO, as defined by NAREIT, represents net income or loss determined in accordance with GAAP, excluding extraordinary items as defined under GAAP and gains or losses from sales of previously depreciated operating real estate assets, plus certain non-cash items such as real estate asset depreciation and amortization, and after adjustment for any noncontrolling interest from unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with GAAP implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values instead have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, many investors and analysts have considered the presentation of operating results for real estate companies that use historical cost accounting to be insufficient by itself.
The Company considers FFO to be a useful measure of adjusted net income (loss) for reviewing comparative operating and financial performance because we believe FFO is most directly comparable to net income (loss), which remains the primary measure of performance, because by excluding gains or losses related to sales of previously depreciated operating real estate assets and excluding real estate asset depreciation and amortization, FFO assists in comparing the operating performance of a company’s real estate between periods or as compared to different companies. Although FFO is intended to be a REIT industry standard, other companies may not calculate FFO in the same manner as we do, and investors should not assume that FFO as reported by us is comparable to FFO as reported by other REITs.
EBITDA
The Company believes that excluding the effect of non-operating expenses and non-cash charges, and the portion of those items related to unconsolidated entities, all of which are also based on historical cost accounting and may be of limited significance in evaluating current performance, can help eliminate the accounting effects of depreciation and financing decisions and facilitate comparisons of core operating profitability between periods and between REITs, even though EBITDA also does not represent an amount that accrued directly to shareholders.
Hotel EBITDA
The Company defines hotel EBITDA as net income or loss excluding: (1) interest expense, (2) interest income, (3) equity in the income or loss of equity investees, (4) unrealized gains and losses on derivative instruments not included in other comprehensive income, (5) gains and losses on disposal of assets, (6) realized gains and losses on investments, (7) impairment of long-lived assets or investments, (8) loss on early debt extinguishment, (9) gains or losses on change in control, (10) corporate general and administrative expense; (11) depreciation and amortization; and (12) other operating revenue not related to the Company’s wholly-owned portfolio. We believe this provides a more complete understanding of the operating results over which the Company’s wholly-owned hotels and its operators have direct control. We believe hotel EBITDA provides investors with supplemental information on the on-going operational performance of the Company’s hotels and the effectiveness of third-party management companies operating the Company’s business on a property-level basis. The Company’s calculation of hotel EBITDA may be different from similar measures calculated by other REITs.
Adjusted FFO and Adjusted EBITDA
The Company presents adjusted FFO, including adjusted FFO per share and unit, and adjusted EBITDA, which adjusts for certain additional items including any unrealized gain (loss) on its hedging instruments or warrant derivative, loan impairment losses, losses on early extinguishment of debt, aborted offering costs, costs associated with the departure of executive officers, change in control gains or losses and acquisition transaction costs. The Company excludes these items as it believes it allows for meaningful comparisons between periods and among other REITs and is more indicative of the on-going performance of its business and assets. The Company’s calculation of adjusted FFO and adjusted EBITDA may be different from similar measures calculated by other REITs.
