Apple Hospitality REIT (APLE) 8-K Results of Operations and Financial Condition

Exhibit 99.1

DEAR SHAREHOLDER,Key indicators of hotel performance including occupancy, average daily rate and revenue per available room have improved across the U.S. hotel industry in 2012 and according to industry analysts the outlook for the remainder of the year is positive. Following the acquisition of a new 119-room Home2 Suites by Hilton^® in Nashville, TN, on May 31,2012, the Apple REIT Nine, Inc. portfolio includes 89 Marriott^®- and Hilton^®-branded hotels that are strategically located in diversified markets across 27 states. I am confident 2012 will be a good year for our Company.

I am pleased to report that the Apple REIT Nine portfolio of hotels achieved revenue per available room (RevPAR) of $86 for the second quarter of 2012, an increase of nine percent as compared to the same period of 2011. The average occupancy rate for the second quarter of this year was 77 percent and the average daily rate (ADR) was $112, these measures were approximately four percent and five percent ahead of comparable results from last year, respectively. For the six-month period ending June 30, 2012, RevPAR was $82, up by approximately eight percent in comparison to the same period last year.

Modified funds from operations (MFFO) for the second quarter of this year totaled $36.8 million, or $0.20 per share, and for the six-month period ending June 30, 2012, MFFO was $70.0 million, or $0.38 per share. MFFO results for the same periods last year were $33.4 million, or $0.18 per share, and $61.3 million, or $0.34 per share, respectively.

On April 27, 2012, Apple REIT Nine completed the sale of 110 parcels of land in the Ft. Worth, Texas area. As a result of this transaction, the Company made a Special Distribution to shareholders of $0.75 per share and the liquidation preference of each share was reduced by the amount of the Special Distribution, from $11.00 to $10.25 per share. As a result of the Special Distribution, the Company’s Board of Directors changed the annualized distribution rate from $0.88 per share (or approximately eight percent annually based on a liquidation preference of $11.00 per share) to $0.83 per share (or approximately 8.1 percent annually based on a liquidation preference of $10.25 per share). For reference, since the time of the Company’s

first distribution payment through July 31, 2012, the Company has paid $4.41 per share, including the Special Distribution of $0.75 per share, or $577 million. Our annualized distribution rate is closely monitored, taking into account varying economic cycles and capital improvements, as well as current and projected hotel performance. Although we strive for consistency over the life of our program, we may make adjustments as needed, based on available cash resources.

As always, we encourage our shareholders to know their investment and stay informed by reviewing information on our website at www.applereitnine.com, as well as our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which can be found on their website at www.sec.gov.

Throughout the history of Apple REIT Nine, our team has remained focused on maximizing shareholder value through the ownership of lodging real estate. Our portfolio includes high-quality, well-branded hotels and our balance sheet is among the strongest in our industry, with a debt level of approximately eight percent as compared to our total initial capitalization. As the hotel industry continues to see improvement, I believe the Company is well positioned for the future. I look forward to sharing our continued progress with you in upcoming shareholder communications.

Sincerely,

Glade M. Knight,

Chairman and Chief Executive Officer

(A) Funds from operations (FFO) is defined as net income (computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles – GAAP) excluding gains and losses from sales of depreciable property, plus depreciation and amortization. Modified funds from operations (MFFO) excludes rental revenue earned, but not received during the period or “straight-line” rent received and costs associated with the acquisition of real estate and includes interest earned on a note receivable that is not included in net income. The company considers FFO and MFFO in evaluating property acquisitions and its operating performance and believes that FFO and MFFO should be considered along with, but not as an alternative to, net income and cash flows as a measure of the company’s activities in accordance with GAAP. FFO and MFFO are not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs.
(B) 2012 distributions include a Special Distribution of $0.75 per share in May 2012.
