During 2015, Apple Hospitality has worked to refine its portfolio of hotels through the strategic disposition of 19
properties and the acquisition of seven hotels. During the third quarter of 2015, the Company acquired: a new
170-room SpringHill Suites by Marriott® in Burbank, CA; a 190-room Courtyard by Marriott® in Burbank, CA; and a
245-room Courtyard by Marriott® in San Diego, CA. Subsequent to the end of the third quarter, on October 16, 2015,
the Company acquired the dual-branded 102-room Courtyard by Marriott® and 78-room Residence Inn by Marriott®
in Syracuse, NY. The Company currently has outstanding contracts for the potential purchase of four additional hotels
and will continue to evaluate acquisition and disposition opportunities that have the potential to meaningfully refine our
portfolio and create additional value for our shareholders.
As part of the implementation of the Company’s $500 million share repurchase program, the Company established a
written trading Plan authorizing the repurchase of its common shares in open market transactions. The Plan is intended
to comply with Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which allows the Company, through
a designated broker, to repurchase shares at times, when it might otherwise be prevented from doing so by securities
laws or because of self-imposed trading blackout periods. Because the plan is subject to certain pricing, market and
volume parameters, there is no guarantee as to the exact number of shares that will be repurchased under the Plan.
The timing of share repurchases under the Plan and overall repurchase program will depend upon prevailing market
conditions, regulatory requirements and other factors and may be suspended by the Company at any time. As of
September 30, 2015, the Company had purchased approximately 1.2 million of its common shares under the Plan,
at a weighted-average market purchase price of approximately $17.59 per common share, for an aggregate purchase
price of approximately $21.2 million. Purchases under the Plan have been funded and the Company intends to fund
future purchases with availability under the Company’s credit facility.
Modified funds from operations (MFFO)(B) for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2015, totaled
approximately $80.9 million, or $0.46 per share(A), and approximately $225.9 million, or $1.24 per share(A),
respectively. MFFO for the same periods of last year totaled approximately $76.5 million, or $0.41 per share(A),
and approximately $198.5 million, or $1.19 per share(A), respectively. Apple Hospitality paid distributions of $0.30
per common share during the third quarter of 2015. Concurrent with the listing of the Company’s common shares on the
New York Stock Exchange on May 18, 2015, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a regular monthly distribution
of $0.10 per common share. The Company’s Board of Directors, in consultation with management, will continue to
regularly monitor the distribution rate relative to the performance of its hotels, capital improvement needs, varying
economic cycles, acquisitions and dispositions. At its discretion, the Board of Directors may make adjustments
as determined to be prudent in relation to other cash requirements of the Company.
With continued strength of fundamentals in our segment of the hotel industry, we believe we are well positioned for
sustainable growth in the future. Thank you for your investment in our Company.
Sincerely,
