CAREY WATERMARK INVESTORS INCORPORATED
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
Note 1. Business
Organization
Carey Watermark Investors Incorporated (“CWI”) is a publicly-owned, non-traded real estate investment trust (“REIT”) that, together with its consolidated subsidiaries, invests in, manages and seeks to enhance the value of, interests in lodging and lodging-related properties in the United States. We conduct substantially all of our investment activities and own all of our assets through CWI OP, LP (the “Operating Partnership”). We are a general partner and a limited partner of, and own a 99.985% capital interest in, the Operating Partnership. Carey Watermark Holdings, LLC (“Carey Watermark Holdings”), which is owned indirectly by both W. P. Carey Inc. (“WPC”) and Watermark Capital Partners, LLC (“Watermark Capital Partners”), holds a special general partner interest in the Operating Partnership.
We are managed by Carey Lodging Advisors, LLC (our “Advisor”), an indirect subsidiary of WPC. Our Advisor manages our overall portfolio, including providing oversight and strategic guidance to the independent hotel operators that manage our hotels. CWA, LLC (the “Subadvisor”), a subsidiary of Watermark Capital Partners, provides services to our Advisor, primarily relating to acquiring, managing, financing and disposing of our hotels and overseeing the independent operators that manage the day-to-day operations of our hotels. In addition, the Subadvisor provides us with the services of Mr. Michael G. Medzigian, our Chief Executive Officer, subject to the approval of our independent directors.
We held ownership interests in 27 hotels at June 30, 2019, including 23 hotels that we consolidate (“Consolidated Hotels”) and four hotels that we record as equity investments (“Unconsolidated Hotels”).
Public Offerings
We raised $575.8 million through our initial public offering, which ran from September 15, 2010 through September 15, 2013, and $577.4 million through our follow-on offering, which ran from December 20, 2013 through December 31, 2014. We have fully invested the proceeds from both our initial public offering and follow-on offering. In addition, from inception through June 30, 2019, $235.4 million of distributions were reinvested in our common stock through our distribution reinvestment plan (“DRIP”).
Note 2. Basis of Presentation
Basis of Presentation
Our interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not necessarily include all information and footnotes necessary for a fair statement of our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”).
In the opinion of management, the unaudited financial information for the interim periods presented in this Report reflects all normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of financial position, results of operations and cash flows. Our interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes for the year ended December 31, 2018, which are included in our 2018 Annual Report, as certain disclosures that would substantially duplicate those contained in the audited consolidated financial statements have not been included in this Report. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of operating results for an entire year.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and the disclosure of contingent amounts in our consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
Basis of Consolidation
Our consolidated financial statements reflect all of our accounts, including those of our controlled subsidiaries. The portions of equity in consolidated subsidiaries that are not attributable, directly or indirectly, to us are presented as noncontrolling interests. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
When we obtain an economic interest in an entity, we evaluate the entity to determine if it should be deemed a VIE, and, if so, whether we are the primary beneficiary and are therefore required to consolidate the entity. There have been no significant changes in our VIE policies from what was disclosed in the 2018 Annual Report.
At both June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we considered five entities to be VIEs, four of which we consolidated as we are considered the primary beneficiary. The following table presents a summary of selected financial data of consolidated VIEs included in the consolidated balance sheets (in thousands):
|
| | | | | | | |
| June 30, 2019 | | December 31, 2018 |
Net investments in hotels | $ | 495,651 |
| | $ | 497,637 |

| | $ | 344,018 |
|
Total liabilities | 370,659 |
| | 373,700 |
|
Reclassifications
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. In accordance with the SEC’s adoption of certain rule and form amendments on August 17, 2018, we moved Net gain on sale of real estate in the consolidated statements of operations to be included within Operating Income.
Out-of-Period Adjustment
During the second quarter of 2019, we identified and recorded an out-of-period adjustment related to the accounting for income taxes. We concluded that this error was not material to our consolidated financial statements for any of the current or prior periods. The adjustment is reflected as a $0.8 million and $0.5 million decrease to our Provision for income taxes in the consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively.
Restricted Cash
The following table provides a reconciliation of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash reported within the consolidated balance sheets to the consolidated statements of cash flows (in thousands):

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Pronouncements Adopted as of June 30, 2019
In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). ASU 2016-02 modifies the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of leases for both parties to a contract: the lessee and the lessor. ASU 2016-02 provides new guidelines that change the accounting for leasing arrangements for lessees, whereby their rights and obligations under substantially all leases, existing and new, are capitalized and recorded on the balance sheet. For lessors, however, the new standard remains generally consistent with existing guidance, but has been updated to align with certain changes to the lessee model and ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).
We adopted this guidance for our interim and annual periods beginning January 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective method, applying the transition provisions at the beginning of the period of adoption rather than at the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented. We elected the package of practical expedients as permitted under the transition guidance, which allowed us to not reassess whether arrangements contain leases, lease classification and initial direct costs. The adoption of the lease standard did not result in a cumulative effect adjustment recognized in the opening balance of retained earnings as of January 1, 2019.
The most significant impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-02 was the recognition of operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and corresponding lease liabilities primarily related to our ground leases, and to a lesser extent, our parking garage and equipment leases, for which we were the lessee of $52.6 million and $70.5 million, respectively, on January 1, 2019, which included reclassifying below-market ground lease and parking garage lease intangible assets, above-market ground lease intangible liabilities and deferred rent as a component of the ROU asset (a net reclassification of $17.9 million). See Note 10 for additional disclosures of the presentation of these amounts in our consolidated balance sheet.
ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments under the lease. We determine if an arrangement contains a lease at contract inception and determine the classification of the lease at commencement. Operating lease ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. We do not include renewal options in the lease term when calculating the lease liability unless we are reasonably certain we will exercise the option. Variable lease payments are excluded from the ROU assets and lease liabilities and are recognized in the period in which the obligation for those payments is incurred. Our variable lease payments may consist of payments based on a percentage of revenue and increases as a result of Consumer Price Index (“CPI”) or other comparable indices. Lease expense for operating lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.
The implicit rate within our operating leases is generally not determinable and, as a result, we use our incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date to determine the present value of lease payments. The determination of our incremental borrowing rate requires judgment. We determine our incremental borrowing rate for each lease using estimated baseline mortgage rates. These baseline rates are determined based on a review of current mortgage debt market activity for benchmark securities utilizing a yield curve. The rates are then adjusted for various factors, including level of collateralization and lease term.
In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities. ASU 2017-12 makes more financial and nonfinancial hedging strategies eligible for hedge accounting. It also amends the presentation and disclosure requirements and changes how companies assess hedge effectiveness. It is intended to more closely align hedge accounting with companies’ risk management strategies, simplify the application of hedge accounting, and increase transparency as to the scope and results of hedging programs. We adopted this guidance for our interim and annual periods beginning January 1, 2019. The adoption of ASU 2017-12 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting. ASU 2018-07 expands the scope of Topic 718 to include share-based payment transactions in exchange for goods and services from nonemployees, which will align the accounting for such payments to nonemployees with the existing requirements for share-based payments granted to employees (with certain exceptions). These share-based payments will now be measured at the grant-date fair value of the equity instrument issued. We adopted this guidance for our interim and annual periods beginning January 1, 2019. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Asset Management Fees, Disposition Fees and Loan Refinancing Fees
We pay our Advisor an annual asset management fee equal to 0.5% of the aggregate average market value of our investments, as described in the Advisory Agreement. Our Advisor is also entitled to receive disposition fees of up to 1.5% of the contract sales price of a property, as well as a loan refinancing fee of up to 1.0% of the principal amount of a refinanced loan, if certain conditions described in the Advisory Agreement are met. If our Advisor elects to receive all or a portion of its fees in shares of our common stock, the number of shares issued is determined by dividing the dollar amount of fees by our most recently published estimated net asset value per share (“NAV”). For the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, we settled $7.1 million and $7.2 million, respectively, of asset management fees in shares of our common stock at our Advisor’s election. At June 30, 2019, our Advisor owned 4,958,385 shares (3.5%) of our outstanding common stock. Asset management fees are included in Asset management fees to affiliate and other expenses in the consolidated financial statements.
Available Cash Distributions
Carey Watermark Holdings’ special general partner interest entitles it to receive distributions of 10% of Available Cash (as defined in the limited partnership agreement of the Operating Partnership) (“Available Cash Distributions”) generated by the Operating Partnership, subject to certain limitations. In addition, in the event of the dissolution of the Operating Partnership, Carey Watermark Holdings will be entitled to receive distributions of up to 15% of net proceeds, provided certain return thresholds are met for the initial investors in the Operating Partnership. Available Cash Distributions are included in Income attributable to noncontrolling interests in the consolidated financial statements.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
Personnel and Overhead Reimbursements/Reimbursable Costs
Under the terms of the Advisory Agreement, our Advisor generally allocates expenses of dedicated and shared resources, including the cost of personnel, rent and related office expenses, between us and our affiliate, Carey Watermark Investors 2 Incorporated (“CWI 2”), based on total pro rata hotel revenues on a quarterly basis. CWI 2 is a publicly owned, non-traded REIT that is also advised by our Advisor and invests in lodging and lodging-related properties. Pursuant to the Subadvisory Agreement, after we reimburse our Advisor, it will subsequently reimburse the Subadvisor for personnel costs and other charges, including the services of our Chief Executive Officer, subject to the approval of our board of directors. These reimbursements are included in Corporate general and administrative expenses and Due to related parties and affiliates in the consolidated financial statements and are settled in cash. We have also granted restricted stock units to employees of the Subadvisor pursuant to our 2010 Equity Incentive Plan.
Other Amounts Due to our Advisor
This balance primarily represented asset management fees payable to our Advisor.
Other Transactions with Affiliates
WPC Credit Facility
On September 26, 2017, we entered into a secured credit facility (the “WPC Credit Facility”) with our Operating Partnership as borrower and WPC as lender. The WPC Credit Facility consists of (i) a bridge term loan of up to $75.0 million (the “Bridge Loan”) for the purpose of acquiring an interest in the Ritz-Carlton Bacara, Santa Barbara Venture and (ii) a $25.0 million revolving working capital facility (the “Working Capital Facility”) to be used for our working capital needs. The Bridge Loan was scheduled to mature on June 30, 2019; however, on June 25, 2019, we exercised the three-month extension option available on the loan, which extended the maturity date to September 30, 2019. As amended, the Working Capital Facility is currently scheduled to mature on December 31, 2019. If the Advisory Agreement expires or is terminated, both the Bridge Loan and the Working Capital Facility would mature at that time. Both loans bear interest at the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus 1.0%; provided however, that upon the occurrence of certain events of default (as defined in the loan agreement), all outstanding amounts will be subject to a 2.0% annual interest rate increase. We serve as guarantor of the WPC Credit Facility and have pledged our unencumbered equity interests in certain properties as collateral, as further described in the pledge and security agreement entered into between the borrower and lender. At December 31, 2018, the outstanding balances under the Bridge Loan and Working Capital Facility were $40.8 million and $0.8 million, respectively. On April 24, 2019, we borrowed an additional $5.0 million under the Working Capital Facility. At June 30, 2019, the outstanding balances under the Bridge Loan and Working Capital Facility were $40.8 million and $5.8 million, respectively. At June 30, 2019, $19.2 million was available to be drawn under the Working Capital Facility.
The WPC Credit Facility includes various customary affirmative and negative covenants. We were in compliance with all applicable covenants at June 30, 2019.
Jointly-Owned Investments
At June 30, 2019, we owned interests in three ventures with CWI 2: the Ritz-Carlton Key Biscayne, a Consolidated Hotel, and the Marriott Sawgrass Golf Resort & Spa and the Ritz-Carlton Bacara, Santa Barbara, both Unconsolidated Hotels. A third-party also owns an interest in the Ritz-Carlton Key Biscayne.

At June 30, 2019, we owned equity interests in four Unconsolidated Hotels, two with unrelated third parties and two with CWI 2. We do not control the ventures that own these hotels, but we exercise significant influence over them. We account for these investments under the equity method of accounting (i.e., at cost, increased or decreased by our share of earnings or losses, less distributions, plus contributions and other adjustments required by equity method accounting, such as basis differences from acquisition costs paid to our Advisor that we incur and other-than-temporary impairment charges, if any).
Under the conventional approach of accounting for equity method investments, an investor applies its percentage ownership interest to the venture’s net income to determine the investor’s share of the earnings or losses of the venture. This approach is inappropriate if the venture’s capital structure gives different rights and priorities to its investors. We have priority returns on several of our equity method investments. Therefore, we follow the hypothetical liquidation at book value (“HLBV”) method in determining our share of these ventures’ earnings or losses for the reporting period, as this method better reflects our claim on the ventures’ book value at the end of each reporting period. Earnings for our equity method investments are recognized in accordance with each respective investment agreement and, where applicable, based upon the allocation of the investment’s net assets at book value as if the investment was hypothetically liquidated at the end of each reporting period.
The following table sets forth our ownership interests in our equity investments in real estate and their respective carrying values. The carrying values of these ventures are affected by the timing and nature of distributions (dollars in thousands):

As a result of adopting this guidance, on January 1, 2019, we reclassified our below-market ground lease and parking garage lease intangible assets (previously included in Intangible assets, net) and above-market ground lease intangible liabilities (previously included in Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities) to Operating lease ROU assets on the consolidated balance sheet. |
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
Net amortization of intangibles was $0.4 million for both the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 and $0.8 million for both the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018. Amortization of the villa/condo rental programs and in-place lease intangibles are included in Depreciation and amortization in the consolidated financial statements.
Note 7. Fair Value Measurements
The fair value of an asset is defined as the exit price, which is the amount that would either be received when an asset is sold or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The guidance establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers are: Level 1, for which quoted market prices for identical instruments are available in active markets, such as money market funds, equity securities and U.S. Treasury securities; Level 2, for which there are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the instrument, such as certain derivative instruments, including interest rate caps and swaps; and Level 3, for securities that do not fall into Level 1 or Level 2 and for which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring us to develop our own assumptions.
Items Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
Derivative Assets — Our derivative assets, which are included in Other assets in the consolidated financial statements, are comprised of interest rate caps (Note 8).
The valuation of our derivative instruments is determined using a discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, as well as observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and implied volatilities. We incorporate credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both our own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements. In adjusting the fair value of our derivative instruments for the effect of nonperformance risk, we have considered the impact of netting and any applicable credit enhancements, such as collateral postings and thresholds. These derivative instruments were classified as Level 2 as these instruments are custom, over-the-counter contracts with various bank counterparties that are not traded in an active market.
We did not have any transfers into or out of Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 category of measurements during the six months ended June 30, 2019 or 2018. Gains and losses (realized and unrealized) recognized on items measured at fair value on a recurring basis included in earnings are reported in Other income and (expenses) in the consolidated financial statements.
Our non-recourse debt, net, which we have classified as Level 3, had a carrying value of $1.3 billion at both June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 and an estimated fair value of $1.3 billion at both June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. We determined the estimated fair value using a discounted cash flow model with rates that take into account the interest rate risk. We also considered the value of the underlying collateral, taking into account the quality of the collateral and the then-current interest rate.
We estimated that our other financial assets and liabilities had fair values that approximated their carrying values at both June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.
Items Measured at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis (Including Impairment Charges)
We periodically assess whether there are any indicators that the value of our real estate investments may be impaired or that their carrying value may not be recoverable. Where the undiscounted cash flows for an asset are less than the asset’s carrying value when considering and evaluating the various alternative courses of action that may occur, we recognize an impairment charge to reduce the carrying value of the asset to its estimated fair value. Further, when we classify an asset as held for sale, we carry the asset at the lower of its current carrying value or its fair value, less estimated cost to sell. We did not recognize any impairment charges during the three or six months ended June 30, 2019 or 2018.

Note 8. Risk Management and Use of Derivative Financial Instruments
Risk Management
In the normal course of our ongoing business operations, we encounter economic risk. There are two main components of economic risk that impact us: interest rate risk and market risk. We are primarily subject to interest rate risk on our interest-bearing assets and liabilities. Market risk includes changes in the value of our properties and related loans.
Derivative Financial Instruments
When we use derivative instruments, it is generally to reduce our exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. We have not entered into, and do not plan to enter into, financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. In addition to entering into derivative instruments on our own behalf, we may also be a party to derivative instruments that are embedded in other contracts, which are considered to be derivative instruments. The primary risks related to our use of derivative instruments include: (i) a counterparty to a hedging arrangement defaulting on its obligation and (ii) a downgrade in the credit quality of a counterparty to such an extent that our ability to sell or assign our side of the hedging transaction is impaired. While we seek to mitigate these risks by entering into hedging arrangements with large financial institutions that we deem to be creditworthy, it is possible that our hedging transactions, which are intended to limit losses, could adversely affect our earnings. Furthermore, if we terminate a hedging arrangement, we may be obligated to pay certain costs, such as transaction or breakage fees. We have established policies and procedures for risk assessment and the approval, reporting and monitoring of derivative financial instrument activities.
We measure derivative instruments at fair value and record them as assets or liabilities, depending on our rights or obligations under the applicable derivative contract. Derivatives that are not designated as hedges must be adjusted to fair value through earnings. For a derivative designated, and that qualified, as a cash flow hedge, the effective portion of the change in fair value of the derivative is recognized in Other comprehensive (loss) income until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. The ineffective portion of the change in fair value of any derivative is immediately recognized in earnings.
The following table sets forth certain information regarding our derivative instruments on our Consolidated Hotels (in thousands):
|
| | | | | | | | | | |
Derivatives Designated as Hedging Instruments | | | | Asset Derivatives Fair Value at |
| Balance Sheet Location | | June 30, 2019 | | December 31, 2018 |
Interest rate caps | | Other assets | | $ | 9 |
| | $ | 84 |
|
All derivative transactions with an individual counterparty are governed by a master International Swap and Derivatives Association agreement, which can be considered as a master netting arrangement; however, we report all our derivative instruments on a gross basis in our consolidated financial statements. At both June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, no cash collateral had been posted nor received for any of our derivative positions.
We recognized unrealized losses of less than $0.1 million and $0.1 million in Other comprehensive (loss) income on derivatives in connection with our interest rate swaps and caps during the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and unrealized losses of $0.2 million and unrealized gains of less than $0.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
We reclassified less than $0.1 million and $0.2 million from Other comprehensive (loss) income on derivatives into Interest expense during the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and less than $0.1 million and $0.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
Amounts reported in Other comprehensive (loss) income related to interest rate caps will be reclassified to Interest expense as interest expense is incurred on our variable-rate debt. At June 30, 2019, we estimated that an additional $0.2 million will be reclassified as Interest expense during the next 12 months related to our interest rate caps.
Interest Rate Swaps and Caps
We are exposed to the impact of interest rate changes primarily through our borrowing activities. To limit this exposure, we attempt to obtain mortgage financing on a long-term, fixed-rate basis. However, from time to time, we or our investment
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
partners may obtain variable-rate non-recourse mortgage loans and, as a result, may enter into interest rate swap or cap agreements with counterparties. Interest rate swaps, which effectively convert the variable-rate debt service obligations of a loan to a fixed rate, are agreements in which one party exchanges a stream of interest payments for a counterparty’s stream of cash flow over a specific period. The notional, or face, amount on which the swaps are based is not exchanged. An interest rate cap limits the effective borrowing rate of variable-rate debt obligations while allowing participants to share in downward shifts in interest rates. Our objective in using these derivatives is to limit our exposure to interest rate movements.
The interest rate caps that we had outstanding on our Consolidated Hotels at June 30, 2019 were designated as cash flow hedges and are summarized as follows (dollars in thousands):
|
| | | | | | | | | | |
| | Number of Instruments | | | | Fair Value at |
Interest Rate Derivatives | | | Notional Amount | | June 30, 2019 |
Interest rate caps | | 7 | | $ | 356,910 |
| | $ | 9 |
|
Credit Risk-Related Contingent Features
We measure our credit exposure on a counterparty basis as the net positive aggregate estimated fair value of our derivatives, net of any collateral received. No collateral was received as of June 30, 2019. At June 30, 2019, both our total credit exposure and the maximum exposure to any single counterparty were less than $0.1 million.
Some of the agreements we have with our derivative counterparties contain cross-default provisions that could trigger a declaration of default on our derivative obligations if we default, or are capable of being declared in default, on certain of our indebtedness. At June 30, 2019, we had not been declared in default on any of our derivative obligations. At both June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we had no derivatives that were in a net liability position.

Financing Activity During 2019
Sheraton Austin Hotel at the Capitol
During the second quarter of 2019, we refinanced the $67.0 million Sheraton Austin Hotel at the Capitol mortgage loan with a new mortgage loan that has a maximum principal amount of $92.4 million, of which we drew $68.4 million at closing, with the remaining balance available to fund planned renovations at the hotel. The loan has a floating annual interest rate of LIBOR plus 3.5% (subject to an interest rate cap) and a maturity date of July 9, 2022 with two one-year extension options. We recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt of $0.1 million on this refinancing.

Lake Arrowhead Resort and Spa
The $14.5 million outstanding mortgage loan on Lake Arrowhead Resort and Spa that matured on May 29, 2019 was modified during the three months ended June 30, 2019 to extend the maturity date to April 30, 2020. As part of this modification, we began making monthly amortization payments of $40,000 that will continue through the maturity date.
Covenants
Pursuant to our mortgage loan agreements, our consolidated subsidiaries are subject to various operational and financial covenants, including minimum debt service coverage and debt yield ratios. Most of our mortgage loan agreements contain “lock-box” provisions, which permit the lender to access or sweep a hotel’s excess cash flow and could be triggered by the lender under limited circumstances, including the failure to maintain minimum debt service coverage ratios. If a lender requires that we enter into a cash management agreement, we would generally be permitted to spend an amount equal to our budgeted hotel operating expenses, taxes, insurance and capital expenditure reserves for the relevant hotel. The lender would then hold all excess cash flow after the payment of debt service in an escrow account until certain performance hurdles are met. Except as discussed below, at June 30, 2019, we were in compliance with the applicable covenants for each of our mortgage loans.
At March 31, 2018, the minimum debt service coverage ratio for the Courtyard Pittsburgh Shadyside was not met; this ratio was still not met as of June 30, 2019 and we have entered into a cash management agreement with the lender.
At September 30, 2018, the minimum debt service coverage ratio for the Westin Minneapolis was not met and we entered into a cash management agreement that permits the lender to sweep the excess cash flow from the hotel. As of June 30, 2019, this ratio was still not met and the cash management agreement remained in effect.
At September 30, 2018, the minimum debt service coverage ratio for the Equinox, a Luxury Collection Golf Resort & Spa was not met; this ratio was still not met as of June 30, 2019.
At December 31, 2018, the minimum debt yield ratio for the Sanderling Resort was not met; therefore, in May 2019, the loan began to amortize in an amount equal to the original loan amount over a 25-year period and will continue to amortize until such time as the minimum debt yield ratio is met. As of June 30, 2019, this ratio was still not met.

Note 10. Commitments and Contingencies
At June 30, 2019, we were not involved in any material litigation. Various claims and lawsuits arising in the normal course of business are pending against us, including liens for which we may obtain a bond, provide collateral or provide an indemnity, but we do not expect the results of such proceedings to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Hotel Management Agreements
As of June 30, 2019, our Consolidated Hotel properties were operated pursuant to long-term management agreements with 12 different management companies, with initial terms ranging from five to 30 years. For hotels operated with separate franchise agreements, each management company receives a base management fee, generally ranging from 1.5% to 3.5% of hotel revenues. Four of our management agreements contain the right and license to operate the hotels under specified brands; no separate franchise agreements exist and no separate franchise fee is required for these hotels. The management agreements that include the benefit of a franchise agreement incur a base management fee ranging from 3.0% to 3.5% of hotel revenues. The management companies are generally also eligible to receive an incentive management fee, which is typically calculated as a percentage of operating profit, either (i) in excess of projections with a cap or (ii) after the owner has received a priority return on its investment in the hotel. We incurred management fee expense, including amortization of deferred management fees, of $4.7 million and $4.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $9.5 million for both the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018.
Franchise Agreements
Sixteen of our Consolidated Hotels operate under franchise or license agreements with national brands that are separate from our management agreements. As of June 30, 2019, we had 11 franchise agreements with Marriott-owned brands, three with Hilton-owned brands, one with an InterContinental Hotels-owned brand and one with a Hyatt-owned brand related to our Consolidated Hotels. Our typical franchise agreements have initial terms ranging from 15 to 25 years. Three of our hotels are not operated with a hotel brand so the hotels do not have franchise agreements. Generally, our franchise agreements provide for a license fee, or royalty, of 3.0% to 6.0% of room revenues and, if applicable, 2.0% to 3.0% of food and beverage revenue. In addition, we generally pay 1.0% to 4.5% of room revenues as marketing and reservation system contributions for the system-
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
wide benefit of brand hotels. Franchise fees are included in sales and marketing expense in our consolidated financial statements. We incurred franchise fee expense, including amortization of deferred franchise fees, of $4.4 million for both the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, and $8.2 million and $8.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
Capital Expenditures and Reserve Funds
With respect to our hotels that are operated under management or franchise agreements with major international hotel brands and for most of our hotels subject to mortgage loans, we are obligated to maintain furniture, fixtures and equipment reserve accounts for future capital expenditures at these hotels, sufficient to cover the cost of routine improvements and alterations at the hotels. The amount funded into each of these reserve accounts is generally determined pursuant to the management agreements, franchise agreements and/or mortgage loan documents for each of the respective hotels and typically ranges between 3.0% and 5.0% of the respective hotel’s total gross revenue. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, $40.2 million and $37.9 million, respectively, was held in furniture, fixtures and equipment reserve accounts for future capital expenditures, and is included in Restricted cash in the consolidated financial statements.
Renovation Commitments
Certain of our hotel franchise and loan agreements require us to make planned renovations to our hotels. Additionally, from time to time, certain of our hotels may undergo renovations as a result of our decision to upgrade portions of the hotels, such as guestrooms, public space, meeting space, and/or restaurants, in order to better compete with other hotels and alternative lodging options in our markets. At June 30, 2019, we had various contracts outstanding with third parties in connection with the renovation of certain of our hotels. The remaining commitments under these contracts at June 30, 2019, totaled $23.9 million. Funding for a renovation will first come from our furniture, fixtures and equipment reserve accounts, to the extent permitted by the terms of the management agreement. Should these reserves be unavailable or insufficient to cover the cost of the renovation, we will fund all or the remaining portion of the renovation with existing cash resources, proceeds available under our Working Capital Facility and/or other sources of available capital, including cash flow from operations.

Distributions Declared
During the second quarter of 2019, our board of directors declared a quarterly distribution of $0.1425 per share, which was paid on July 15, 2019 to stockholders of record on June 28, 2019, in the aggregate amount of $20.1 million.
Note 12. Income Taxes
We elected to be treated as a REIT and believe that we have been organized and have operated in such a manner to maintain our qualification as a REIT for federal and state income tax purposes. As a REIT, we are generally not subject to corporate level federal income taxes on earnings distributed to our stockholders. Since inception, we have distributed at least 100.0% of our taxable income annually and intend to do so for the tax year ending December 31, 2019. Accordingly, we have not included any provisions for federal income taxes related to the REIT in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018. We conduct business in various states and municipalities within the United States, and, as a result, we or one or more of our subsidiaries file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state jurisdictions. As a result, we are subject to certain state and local taxes and a provision for such taxes is included in the consolidated financial statements.
Certain of our subsidiaries have elected taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”) status. A TRS may provide certain services considered impermissible for REITs and may hold assets that REITs may not hold directly. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include an interim tax provision for our TRSs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
Current income tax expense was $0.2 million and $1.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $0.9 million and $2.2 million for six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
Our TRSs are subject to U.S. federal and state income taxes. As such, deferred tax assets and liabilities are established for temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of assets and liabilities at the enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when the temporary differences reverse. A valuation allowance for deferred tax assets is provided if we believe that it is more likely than not that we will not realize the tax benefit of deferred tax assets based on available evidence at the time the determination is made. A change in circumstances may cause us to change our judgment about whether a deferred tax asset will more likely than not be realized. We generally report any change in the valuation allowance through our income statement in the period in which such changes in circumstances occur. The majority of our deferred tax assets relate to net operating losses, interest expense limitation and accrued expenses. The majority of our deferred tax liabilities relate to differences between the tax basis and financial reporting basis of our villa/condo rental management agreements. Provision for income taxes included deferred income tax expense of $0.7 million and $2.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and deferred income tax expense of $0.2 million and $0.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is intended to provide the reader with information that will assist in understanding our financial statements and the reasons for changes in certain key components of our financial statements from period to period. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations also provides the reader with our perspective on our financial position and liquidity, as well as certain other factors that may affect our future results. Our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with the 2018 Annual Report and subsequent reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).
Business Overview
As described in more detail in Item 1 of the 2018 Annual Report, we are a publicly-owned, non-traded REIT that invests in, and through our Advisor, manages and seeks to enhance the value of, interests in lodging and lodging-related properties. We have invested the proceeds from our initial public offering and follow-on offering in a diversified lodging portfolio, including full-service, select-service and resort hotels. Our results of operations are significantly impacted by seasonality and by hotel renovations. We have invested in hotels and then initiated significant renovations at certain hotels. Generally, during the renovation period, a portion of total rooms are unavailable and hotel operations are often disrupted, negatively impacting our results of operations. At June 30, 2019, we held ownership interests in 27 hotels, with a total of 7,717 rooms.
Our board of directors has begun a process of evaluating strategic alternatives, including a combination with CWI 2. During the quarter ended December 31, 2018, our board formed a special committee of independent directors to undertake the evaluation and the special committee has since engaged legal and financial advisors. There can be no assurance as to the form or timing of any transaction or that a transaction will be pursued at all. We do not intend to discuss the evaluation process unless and until our board completes its evaluation, except as required by law.
Significant Developments
WPC Credit Facility
On April 24, 2019, we borrowed an additional $5.0 million under the Working Capital Facility and on June 25, 2019, we exercised the three-month extension option available on the Bridge Loan, which extended the maturity date to September 30, 2019. At June 30, 2019, the outstanding balances under the Bridge Loan and Working Capital Facility were $40.8 million and $5.8 million, respectively (Note 3).

See Supplemental Financial Measures below for our definitions of these non-GAAP measures and reconciliations to their most directly comparable GAAP measures. |
The comparison of our results period over period is influenced by both the number and size of the hotels consolidated in each of the respective periods. At June 30, 2019, we owned 23 Consolidated Hotels, compared to 24 Consolidated Hotels at June 30, 2018. At December 31, 2018, we owned 23 Consolidated Hotels, compared to 27 Consolidated Hotels at December 31, 2017.

Results of Operations
We evaluate our results of operations with a primary focus on our ability to generate cash flow necessary to meet our objectives of funding distributions to stockholders and increasing the value of our real estate investments. As a result, our assessment of operating results gives less emphasis to the effect of unrealized gains and losses, which may cause fluctuations in net income for comparable periods but have no impact on cash flows, and to other non-cash charges, such as depreciation and impairment charges.
In addition, we use other information that may not be financial in nature, including statistical information, to evaluate the operating performance of our business, including occupancy rate, ADR and RevPAR. Occupancy rate, ADR and RevPAR are commonly used measures within the hotel industry to evaluate operating performance. RevPAR, which is calculated as the product of ADR and occupancy rate, is an important statistic for monitoring operating performance at our hotels. Our occupancy rate, ADR and RevPAR performance may be impacted by macroeconomic factors such as U.S. economic conditions, regional and local employment growth, personal income and corporate earnings, business relocation decisions, business and leisure travel, new hotel construction and the pricing strategies of competitors.
The comparability of our results year over year are impacted by, among other factors, the timing of any acquisitions, dispositions and/or any renovation-related activities.

Hotel Revenues
For the three months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to the same period in 2018, hotel revenues decreased by $1.2 million, comprised of: a decrease in revenue from our Same Store Hotels totaling $3.3 million and a decrease in revenue as a result of one property sold during the third quarter of 2018 of $1.5 million, partially offset by an increase in revenue from the Hawks Cay Resort of $3.6 million (representing the net impact to revenue after the recognition of business interruption income). The net decrease in revenue from our Same Store Hotels is primarily due to decreases in revenue from the Ritz-Carlton Key Biscayne and Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn & Spa, partially offset by increases in revenue from Marriott Raleigh City Center and Westin Minneapolis. Both the Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn & Spa and the Ritz-Carlton Key Biscayne were impacted by a decrease in revenue from group bookings, with Ritz-Carlton Key Biscayne also being negatively impacted by renovation-related disruption in the current year period. Marriott Raleigh City Center was negatively impacted in the prior year period by renovation work that commenced during the second quarter of 2018 and Westin Minneapolis benefited from the NCAA Final Four basketball championship in April 2019.
For the six months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to the same period in 2018, hotel revenues increased by $8.6 million, comprised of: an increase in revenue from the Hawks Cay Resort of $18.6 million (representing the net impact to revenue after the recognition of business interruption income), partially offset by a decrease in revenue as a result of properties sold during 2018 of $5.4 million and a decrease in revenue from our Same Store Hotels of $4.7 million. The net decrease in revenue from our Same Store Hotels is primarily due to decreases in revenue from the Ritz-Carlton Key Biscayne (discussed above) and Renaissance Chicago, partially offset by an increase in revenue from Ritz-Carlton Fort Lauderdale and Marriott Raleigh City Center (discussed above). Renaissance Chicago was negatively impacted by a decrease in city-wide events primarily during the first quarter of 2019, while Ritz-Carlton Fort Lauderdale saw an increase in transient guests for the six months ended June 30, 2019, which resulted in increases to both room revenue and food and beverage revenue.
Hotel Operating Expenses
Room expense, food and beverage expense and other operating department costs fluctuate based on various factors, including occupancy, labor costs, utilities and insurance costs.
For the three months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to the same period in 2018, aggregate hotel operating expenses increased by $6.4 million, comprised of: an increase in expenses from the Hawks Cay Resort of $9.0 million, partially offset by a net decrease in expenses from our Same Store Hotels totaling $1.4 million and a decrease in expenses as a result of one property sold during the third quarter of 2018 of $1.2 million. The net decrease in expenses from our Same Store Hotels is primarily due to a decrease in expenses contributed by the Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn & Spa and the Ritz-Carlton Key Biscayne, partially offset by an increase in expenses contributed by Marriott Raleigh City Center and Westin Minneapolis, in line with the changes in revenue discussed above.
For the six months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to the same period in 2018, aggregate hotel operating expenses increased by $12.8 million, comprised of: an increase in expenses from the Hawks Cay Resort of $17.7 million, partially offset by a decrease in expenses as a result of properties sold during 2018 totaling $4.0 million and a net decrease in expenses from our Same Store Hotels totaling $0.9 million. The net decrease in expenses from our Same Store Hotels is primarily due to decreases in expenses from the Ritz-Carlton Key Biscayne and Renaissance Chicago, partially offset by an increase in expenses from Ritz-Carlton Fort Lauderdale and Marriott Raleigh City Center, in line with the changes in revenue discussed above.
Corporate General and Administrative Expenses
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to the same periods in 2018, corporate general and administrative expenses increased by $1.1 million and $1.2 million, respectively, primarily due to an increase in professional fees. Professional fees include legal, accounting and investor-related expenses incurred in the normal course of business. The increase in professional fees for both periods was driven by an increase in legal fees.
Gain on Hurricane-Related Property Damage
During the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, we recognized a gain on hurricane-related property damage of $0.2 million and $0.5 million, respectively, resulting from changes in our estimates of the total aggregate damage incurred.
During the six months ended June 30, 2018, we recognized a gain on hurricane-related property damage of $1.1 million resulting from changes in our estimates of the total aggregate damage incurred.
We and CWI 2 maintain insurance on all of our hotels, with an aggregate policy limit of $500.0 million for both property damage and business interruption. Our insurance policies are subject to various terms and conditions, including property damage and business interruption deductibles on each hotel, which range from 2.0% to 5.0% of the insured value. We currently estimate our aggregate casualty insurance claim for our Consolidated Hotels related to Hurricane Irma to be in the range of $60.0 million to $70.0 million (which includes estimated clean up, repair and rebuilding costs) and our aggregate business interruption insurance claim to be in the range of $25.0 million to $35.0 million. We currently estimate the collective casualty insurance claim for us and CWI 2 combined to be in the range of $65.0 million to $80.0 million and the collective business interruption insurance claim to be in the range of $25.0 million to $35.0 million. As the restoration work continues to be performed, the estimated total costs will change. We believe that we maintain adequate insurance coverage on our hotels and are working closely with the insurance carriers and claims adjuster to obtain the maximum amount of insurance recovery provided under the policies. However, we can give no assurances as to the amounts of such claims, the timing of payments or the ultimate resolution of the claims.
We experienced a reduction in revenues as a result of Hurricane Irma. Our business interruption insurance covers lost revenue through the period of property restoration and for up to 12 months after the hotels are back to full operations. We have retained consultants to assess our business interruption claims and are currently reviewing our losses with our insurance carriers. We recorded $0.3 million and $10.5 million of revenue for covered business interruption related to Hurricane Irma during the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $0.8 million and $10.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. We record revenue for covered business interruption when both the recovery is probable and contingencies have been resolved with the insurance carriers.
Net Gain on Sale of Real Estate
During the six months ended June 30, 2018, we recognized a gain on sale of real estate, net of tax of $31.9 million, comprised of (i) a gain of $12.3 million related to the sale of our 100.0% ownership interest in the Marriott Boca Raton at Boca Center to an unaffiliated third-party for a contractual sales price of $76.0 million in January 2018 and (ii) an aggregate gain of $19.6 million, related to the sale of our 100.0% ownership interests in the Hampton Inn Memphis Beale Street and Hampton Inn Atlanta Downtown to an unaffiliated third-party for a contractual sales price of $63.0 million in February 2018 (Note 4).
Equity in Earnings of Equity Method Investments in Real Estate, Net
Equity in earnings of equity method investments in real estate, net represents earnings from our equity investments in Unconsolidated Hotels recognized in accordance with each investment agreement and based upon the allocation of the investment’s net assets at book value as if the investment were hypothetically liquidated at the end of each reporting period (Note 5). We are required to periodically compare an investment’s carrying value to its estimated fair value and recognize an impairment charge to the extent that the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value and is determined to be other than temporary. No other-than-temporary impairment charges were recognized on our equity method investments in real estate during the six months ended June 30, 2019 or 2018.
The following table sets forth our share of equity in earnings (losses) from our Unconsolidated Hotels, which are based on the HLBV model, as well as certain amortization adjustments related to basis differentials from acquisitions of investments (in thousands):

| |
(a) | The increase for the six months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to 2018 is primarily driven by our share of the release of a $2.3 million valuation allowance for deferred tax assets during the first quarter of 2019 as there was sufficient positive evidence that allowed us to reach a conclusion that the valuation allowance was no longer needed. |

(b) | Our share of equity in losses from the venture for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 included non-recurring hotel rebranding expenses. |
| |
(c) | On October 19, 2017, the venture sold the Westin Atlanta Perimeter North to an unaffiliated third party. Our share of equity in earnings during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 is the result of additional cash distributions received in that period in connection with the disposition. |
Net Loss on Extinguishment of Debt
During the three months ended June 30, 2019, we recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt of $0.1 million related to the refinancing of the Sheraton Austin Hotel at the Capitol mortgage loan (Note 9).
During the three months ended June 30, 2018, we recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt of $0.2 million related to the refinancing of the Ritz-Carlton Fort Lauderdale senior mortgage and mezzanine loans.

Modified Funds from Operations
MFFO is a non-GAAP measure that we use to evaluate our business. For a definition of MFFO and a reconciliation to net income attributable to CWI stockholders, see Supplemental Financial Measures below.
For the three months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to the same period in 2018, MFFO decreased by $4.9 million, primarily as a result of a decrease in the contribution of MFFO by the Hawks Cay Resort during the current year period as compared to the prior year period. MFFO contributed by the property in the prior year period, which was driven by business interruption income recognized during the second quarter of 2018, exceeded the MFFO contributed during the current year period, reflecting improvements in the operating results of the property as a result of its re-opening. An increase in Available Cash Distributions and corporate general and administrative expenses also contributed to the decrease in MFFO when compared to the prior year period.
For the six months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to the same period in 2018, MFFO decreased by $1.3 million, primarily as a result of an increase in Available Cash Distributions and corporate general and administrative expenses when compared to the prior year period, as well as the result of our 2018 disposition activity, partially offset by an increase in MFFO contributed by the Hawks Cay Resort when compared to the prior year period. The MFFO contributed during the current year period reflected improvements in the operating results of the property as a result of its re-opening and exceeded MFFO contributed in the prior year period, which was driven by business interruption income recognized during the second quarter of 2018.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our principal demands for funds will be for the payment of operating expenses, interest and principal on current and future indebtedness, including the WPC Credit Facility, and distributions to stockholders. Liquidity is affected adversely by unanticipated costs and greater-than-anticipated operating expenses. We expect to meet our long-term liquidity requirements from cash generated from operations. To the extent that these funds are insufficient to satisfy our cash flow requirements, additional funds may be provided from asset sales, long- and/or short-term borrowings, and proceeds from mortgage financings or refinancings.
Sources and Uses of Cash During the Period
We have fully invested the proceeds from both our initial public offering and follow-on offering. We use the cash flow generated from hotel operations to meet our normal recurring operating expenses, service debt and fund distributions to our shareholders. Our cash flows fluctuate from period to period due to a number of factors, including the financial and operating performance of our hotels, the timing of purchases or dispositions of hotels, the timing and characterization of distributions from equity method investments in hotels and the seasonality in the demand for our hotels. Also, hotels we invest in may undergo renovations, during which they may experience disruptions, possibly resulting in reduced revenue and operating income. Despite these fluctuations, we believe that we will continue to generate sufficient cash from operations and from our equity method investments to meet our normal recurring short-term and long-term liquidity needs. We may also use existing cash resources, proceeds available under our Working Capital Facility, through its expiration, which, as amended, is currently expected to occur on December 31, 2019 (Note 3), the proceeds of mortgage loans, sales of assets or distributions reinvested in
our common stock through our DRIP. We assess our ability to access capital on an ongoing basis. Our sources and uses of cash during the period are described below.
Operating Activities — For the six months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to the same period in 2018, net cash provided by operating activities increased by $13.2 million. The six months ended June 30, 2018 reflected the funding of remediation work to repair properties damaged by the hurricane totaling $10.2 million.
Investing Activities — Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was $18.3 million, primarily as a result of funding $22.8 million of capital expenditures for our Consolidated Hotels and capital contributions of $3.4 million to the Ritz-Carlton Bacara, Santa Barbara Venture, which was used, in part, to fund a renovation at the hotel, partially offset by $6.8 million of insurance proceeds received related to Hurricane Irma.
Financing Activities — Net cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was $39.9 million, primarily as a result of scheduled payments of mortgage financing totaling $75.9 million (primarily from the refinancing of the Sheraton Austin at the Capitol loan (Note 9)), cash distributions paid to stockholders aggregating $40.0 million and redemptions of our common stock pursuant to our redemption plan totaling $13.8 million, partially offset by proceeds from mortgage financing totaling $69.7 million (primarily from the refinancing of the Sheraton Austin at the Capitol loan (Note 9)), as well as the reinvestment of distributions in shares of our common stock through our DRIP totaling $21.6 million.
Distributions
Our current objectives are to generate sufficient cash flow over time to provide stockholders with distributions and to manage a portfolio of investments with potential for capital appreciation throughout varying economic cycles. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, we paid distributions to stockholders totaling $40.0 million, which were comprised of cash distributions of $18.4 million and distributions that were reinvested in shares of our common stock by stockholders through our DRIP of $21.6 million. From inception through June 30, 2019, we declared distributions, excluding distributions paid in shares of our common stock, to stockholders totaling $421.4 million, which were comprised of cash distributions of $175.4 million and $246.0 million of distributions that were reinvested by stockholders in shares of our common stock pursuant to our DRIP.
We believe that FFO, a non-GAAP measure, is an appropriate metric to evaluate our ability to fund distributions to stockholders. For a discussion of FFO, see Supplemental Financial Measures below. Over the life of our company, the regular quarterly cash distributions we pay are expected to be principally sourced from our FFO or our Cash flow from operations. However, we have funded a portion of our cash distributions to date using net proceeds from our public offerings and there can be no assurance that our FFO or our Cash flow from operations will be sufficient to cover our future distributions. Our distribution coverage using FFO was approximately 64% of total distributions declared for the six months ended June 30, 2019, with the balance funded with proceeds from other sources of cash, such as financings, borrowings or the sales of assets. We fully covered total distributions declared for the six months ended June 30, 2019 using Net cash provided by operating activities.
Redemptions
We maintain a quarterly redemption program pursuant to which we may, at the discretion of our board of directors, redeem shares of our common stock from stockholders seeking liquidity. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, we redeemed 1,396,726 shares of our common stock pursuant to our redemption plan, comprised of 306 redemption requests at an average share price of $9.88. As of the date of this Report, we have fulfilled all of the valid redemption requests that we received during the six months ended June 30, 2019. We funded all share redemptions during the six months ended June 30, 2019 from distributions that were reinvested by stockholders in shares of our common stock pursuant to our DRIP.

Sheraton Austin Hotel at the Capitol
During the second quarter of 2019, we refinanced the $67.0 million Sheraton Austin Hotel at the Capitol mortgage loan with a new mortgage loan that has a maximum principal amount of $92.4 million, of which we drew $68.4 million at closing, with the remaining balance available to fund planned renovations at the hotel. The loan has a floating annual interest rate of LIBOR plus 3.5% (which is subject to an interest rate cap) and a maturity date of July 9, 2022 with two one-year extension options. We recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt of $0.1 million on this refinancing.
Lake Arrowhead Resort and Spa
The $14.5 million outstanding mortgage loan on Lake Arrowhead Resort and Spa that matured on May 29, 2019 was modified during the three months ended June 30, 2019 to extend the maturity date to April 30, 2020. As part of this modification, we began making monthly amortization payments of $40,000 that will continue through the maturity date.
Covenants
Pursuant to our mortgage loan agreements, our consolidated subsidiaries are subject to various operational and financial covenants, including minimum debt service coverage and debt yield ratios. Most of our mortgage loan agreements contain “lock-box” provisions, which permit the lender to access or sweep a hotel’s excess cash flow and could be triggered by the lender under limited circumstances, including the failure to maintain minimum debt service coverage ratios. If a lender requires that we enter into a cash management agreement, we would generally be permitted to spend an amount equal to our budgeted hotel operating expenses, taxes, insurance and capital expenditure reserves for the relevant hotel. The lender would then hold all excess cash flow after the payment of debt service in an escrow account until certain performance hurdles are met. Except as discussed below, at June 30, 2019, we were in compliance with the applicable covenants for each of our mortgage loans.
At March 31, 2018, the minimum debt service coverage ratio for the Courtyard Pittsburgh Shadyside was not met; this ratio was still not met as of June 30, 2019 and we have entered into a cash management agreement with the lender.
At September 30, 2018, the minimum debt service coverage ratio for the Westin Minneapolis was not met and we entered into a cash management agreement that permits the lender to sweep the excess cash flow from the hotel. As of June 30, 2019, this ratio was still not met and the cash management agreement remained in effect.
At September 30, 2018, the minimum debt service coverage ratio for the Equinox was not met; this ratio was still not met as of June 30, 2019.
At December 31, 2018, the minimum debt yield ratio for the Sanderling Resort was not met; therefore, in May 2019, the loan began to amortize in an amount equal to the original loan amount over a 25-year period and will continue to amortize until such time as the minimum debt yield ratio is met. As of June 30, 2019, this ratio was still not met.
Cash Resources
At June 30, 2019, our cash resources consisted of cash and cash equivalents totaling $60.1 million, of which $26.4 million was designated as hotel operating cash. We also had the $25.0 million Working Capital Facility, of which $19.2 million remained available to be drawn at June 30, 2019. As of the date of this Report, $19.2 million remains available to be drawn. Our cash resources can be used for working capital needs, debt service and other commitments, such as the renovation commitments noted below.
Cash Requirements
During the next 12 months, we expect that our cash requirements will include (i) paying distributions to our stockholders, (ii) fulfilling our renovation commitments (Note 10), (iii) funding hurricane-related repair and remediation costs in excess of insurance proceeds received, (iv) funding lease commitments, (v) making scheduled mortgage loan principal payments, including (a) scheduled balloon payments totaling $117.5 million on three mortgage loans on our Consolidated Hotels (one loan was refinanced as of the date of this Report) and (b) our share of balloon payments scheduled for two Unconsolidated Hotels totaling $63.1 million, and (vi) paydown of the WPC Credit Facility, as well as other normal recurring operating expenses. We currently intend to refinance the scheduled balloon payments, although there can be no assurance that we will be able to do so on favorable terms, if at all.
We expect to use cash generated from operations, the Working Capital Facility, mortgage financing and cash received from dispositions of properties to fund these cash requirements in addition to amounts held in escrow to fund our renovation commitments.
Capital Expenditures and Reserve Funds
With respect to our hotels that are operated under management or franchise agreements with major international hotel brands and for most of our hotels subject to mortgage loans, we are obligated to maintain furniture, fixtures and equipment reserve accounts for future capital expenditures at these hotels, sufficient to cover the cost of routine improvements and alterations at the hotels. The amount funded into each of these reserve accounts is generally determined pursuant to the management agreements, franchise agreements and/or mortgage loan documents for each of the respective hotels and typically ranges between 3% and 5% of the respective hotel’s total gross revenue. At June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, $40.2 million and $37.9 million, respectively, was held in furniture, fixtures and equipment reserve accounts for future capital expenditures.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations
The table below summarizes our debt, off-balance sheet arrangements and other contractual obligations (primarily our capital commitments and lease obligations) at June 30, 2019 and the effect that these arrangements and obligations are expected to have on our liquidity and cash flow in the specified future periods (in thousands):

(e) | Capital commitments represent our remaining contractual renovation commitments at our Consolidated Hotels, which does not reflect any renovation work to be undertaken as a result of Hurricane Irma (Note 10). |
Supplemental Financial Measures
In the real estate industry, analysts and investors employ certain non-GAAP supplemental financial measures in order to facilitate meaningful comparisons between periods and among peer companies. Additionally, in the formulation of our goals and in the evaluation of the effectiveness of our strategies, we use FFO and MFFO, which are non-GAAP measures defined by our management. We believe that these measures are useful to investors to consider because they may assist them to better understand and measure the performance of our business over time and against similar companies. A description of FFO and MFFO, and reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures, are provided below.
FFO and MFFO
Due to certain unique operating characteristics of real estate companies, as discussed below, the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”), an industry trade group, has promulgated a non-GAAP measure known as FFO, which we believe to be an appropriate supplemental measure, when used in addition to and in conjunction with results presented in accordance with GAAP, to reflect the operating performance of a REIT. The use of FFO is recommended by the REIT industry as a supplemental non-GAAP measure. FFO is not equivalent to nor a substitute for net income or loss as determined under GAAP.
We define FFO, a non-GAAP measure, consistent with the standards established by the White Paper on FFO approved by the Board of Governors of NAREIT, as restated in December 2018. The White Paper defines FFO as net income or loss computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains or losses from sales of property, impairment charges on real estate, and depreciation and amortization from real estate assets; and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and jointly-owned investments. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and jointly-owned investments are calculated to reflect FFO. Our FFO calculation complies with NAREIT’s policy described above. However, NAREIT’s definition of FFO does not distinguish between the conventional method of equity accounting and the HLBV method of accounting for unconsolidated partnerships and jointly-owned investments.
The historical accounting convention used for real estate assets requires straight-line depreciation of buildings and improvements, which implies that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time, especially if such assets are not adequately maintained or repaired and renovated as required by relevant circumstances in order to maintain the value disclosed. We believe that, since real estate values historically rise and fall with market conditions, including inflation, interest rates, the business cycle, unemployment and consumer spending, presentations of operating results for a REIT using historical accounting for depreciation may be less informative. Historical accounting for real estate involves the use of GAAP. Any other method of accounting for real estate such as the fair value method cannot be construed to be any more accurate or relevant than the comparable methodologies of real estate valuation found in GAAP. Nevertheless, we believe that the use of FFO, which excludes the impact of real estate-related depreciation and amortization, as well as impairment charges of real estate-related assets, provides a more complete understanding of our performance to investors and to management; and when compared year over year, reflects the impact on our operations from trends in occupancy rates, operating costs, general and administrative expenses, and interest costs, which may not be immediately apparent from net income. In particular, we believe it is appropriate to disregard impairment charges, as this is a fair value adjustment that is largely based on market fluctuations and assessments regarding general market conditions, which can change over time. An asset will only be evaluated for impairment if certain impairment indicators exist. For real estate assets held for investment and related intangible assets in which an impairment indicator is identified, we follow a two-step process to determine whether an asset is impaired and to determine the amount of the charge. First, we compare the carrying value of the property’s asset group to the estimated future net undiscounted cash flow that we expect the property’s asset group will generate, including any estimated proceeds from the eventual sale of the property’s asset group. It should be noted, however, that the property’s asset group’s estimated fair value is primarily determined using market information from outside sources such as broker quotes or recent comparable sales. In cases where the available market information is not deemed appropriate, we perform a future net cash flow analysis discounted for inherent risk associated with each asset to determine an estimated fair value. While impairment charges are excluded from the calculation of FFO described above due to the fact that impairments are based on estimated future undiscounted cash flows, it could be difficult to recover any impairment charges. However, FFO and MFFO, as described below, should not be construed to be more relevant or accurate than the current GAAP methodology in calculating net income or in its applicability in evaluating the operating performance of the company. The method utilized to evaluate the value and performance of real estate under GAAP should be construed as a more relevant measure of operational performance and considered more prominently than the non-GAAP measures FFO and MFFO and the adjustments to GAAP in calculating FFO and MFFO.
Changes in the accounting and reporting promulgations under GAAP (for acquisition fees and expenses from a capitalization/depreciation model to an expensed-as-incurred model) were put into effect subsequent to the establishment of NAREIT’s definition of FFO. Management believes these cash-settled expenses, such as acquisition fees that are typically accounted for as operating expenses, do not affect our overall long-term operating performance. Publicly registered, non-traded REITs typically have a significant amount of acquisition activity and are substantially more dynamic during their initial years of investment and operation. While other start-up entities may also experience significant acquisition activity during their initial years, we believe that non-traded REITs are unique in that they have a limited life with targeted exit strategies within a relatively limited time frame after acquisition activity ceases. We intend to begin the process of achieving a liquidity event (i.e., listing of our common stock on a national exchange, a merger or sale of our assets or another similar transaction) not later than six years following the conclusion of our initial public offering, which occurred on September 15, 2013. Thus, we intend to have a limited life. Due to the above factors and other unique features of publicly registered, non-traded REITs, the Institute for Portfolio Alternatives (formerly known as the Investment Program Association) (“IPA”), an industry trade group, has standardized a measure known as MFFO, which the IPA has recommended as a supplemental measure for publicly registered non-traded REITs and which we believe to be another appropriate non-GAAP measure to reflect the operating performance of a non-traded REIT having the characteristics described above. MFFO is not equivalent to our net income or loss as determined under GAAP, and MFFO may not be a useful measure of the impact of long-term operating performance on value if we do not continue to operate with a limited life and targeted exit strategy, as currently intended. We believe that, because MFFO excludes costs that we consider more reflective of investing activities and other non-operating items included in FFO and also excludes acquisition fees and expenses that affect our operations only in periods in which properties are acquired, MFFO can provide, on a going forward basis, an indication of the sustainability (that is, the capacity to continue to be maintained) of our operating performance after the period in which we are acquiring properties and once our portfolio is in place. By providing MFFO, we believe we are presenting useful information that assists investors and analysts to better assess the sustainability of our operating performance now that our offering has been completed and once essentially all of our properties have been acquired. We also believe that MFFO is a recognized measure of sustainable operating performance by the non-traded REIT industry. Further, we believe MFFO is useful in comparing the sustainability of our operating performance, with the sustainability of the operating performance of other real estate companies that are not as involved in acquisition activities. MFFO should only be used to assess the sustainability of a company’s operating performance after a company’s offering has been completed and properties have been acquired, as it excludes acquisition costs that have a negative effect on a company’s operating performance during the periods in which properties are acquired.
We define MFFO consistent with the IPA’s Practice Guideline 2010-01, Supplemental Performance Measure for Publicly Registered, Non-Listed REITs: Modified Funds from Operations (the “Practice Guideline”), issued by the IPA in November 2010. This Practice Guideline defines MFFO as FFO further adjusted for the following items included in the determination of GAAP net income, as applicable: acquisition fees and expenses; accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums on debt investments; where applicable, payments of loan principal made by our equity investees accounted for under the HLBV model where such payments reduce our equity in earnings of equity method investments in real estate, nonrecurring impairments of real estate-related investments (i.e., infrequent or unusual, not reasonably likely to recur in the ordinary course of business); mark-to-market adjustments included in net income; nonrecurring gains or losses included in net income from the extinguishment or sale of debt, hedges, derivatives or securities holdings, where trading of such holdings is not a fundamental attribute of the business plan, unrealized gains or losses resulting from consolidation from, or deconsolidation to, equity accounting, and after adjustments for Consolidated and Unconsolidated Hotels, with such adjustments calculated to reflect MFFO on the same basis. The accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums on debt investments, unrealized gains and losses on hedges, derivatives or securities holdings, unrealized gains and losses resulting from consolidations, as well as other listed cash flow adjustments are adjustments made to net income in calculating the cash flows provided by operating activities and, in some cases, reflect gains or losses that are unrealized and may not ultimately be realized.
Our MFFO calculation complies with the IPA’s Practice Guideline described above. In calculating MFFO, we exclude acquisition-related expenses, fair value adjustments of derivative financial instruments and the adjustments of such items related to noncontrolling interests. Under GAAP, acquisition fees and expenses are characterized as operating expenses in determining operating net income. These expenses are paid in cash by a company. All paid and accrued acquisition fees and expenses will have negative effects on returns to investors, the potential for future distributions, and cash flows generated by the company, unless earnings from operations or net sales proceeds from the disposition of other properties are generated to cover the purchase price of the property, these fees and expenses and other costs related to such property. Further, under GAAP, certain contemplated non-cash fair value and other non-cash adjustments are considered operating non-cash adjustments to net income in determining cash flow from operating activities. We account for certain of our equity investments using the HLBV model which is based on distributable cash as defined in the operating agreement.
Our management uses MFFO and the adjustments used to calculate it in order to evaluate our performance against other non-traded REITs, which have limited lives with short and defined acquisition periods and targeted exit strategies shortly thereafter. As noted above, MFFO may not be a useful measure of the impact of long-term operating performance on value if we do not continue to operate in this manner. We believe that MFFO and the adjustments used to calculate it allow us to present our performance in a manner that takes into account certain characteristics unique to non-traded REITs, such as their limited life, defined acquisition period and targeted exit strategy, and is therefore a useful measure for investors. For example, acquisition costs are generally funded from the proceeds of our offering and other financing sources and not from operations. By excluding expensed acquisition costs, the use of MFFO provides information consistent with management’s analysis of the operating performance of the properties. Additionally, fair value adjustments, which are based on the impact of current market fluctuations and underlying assessments of general market conditions, but can also result from operational factors such as occupancy rates, may not be directly related or attributable to our current operating performance. By excluding such changes that may reflect anticipated and unrealized gains or losses, we believe MFFO provides useful supplemental information.
Presentation of this information is intended to provide useful information to investors as they compare the operating performance of different REITs, although it should be noted that not all REITs calculate FFO and MFFO the same way, so comparisons with other REITs may not be meaningful. Furthermore, FFO and MFFO are not necessarily indicative of cash flow available to fund cash needs and should not be considered as an alternative to net income as an indication of our performance, as an alternative to cash flows from operations as an indication of our liquidity, or indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs including our ability to make distributions to our stockholders. FFO and MFFO should be reviewed in conjunction with other GAAP measurements as an indication of our performance.
Neither the SEC, NAREIT nor any other regulatory body has passed judgment on the acceptability of the adjustments that we use to calculate FFO or MFFO. In the future, the SEC, NAREIT or another regulatory body may decide to standardize the allowable adjustments across the non-traded REIT industry and we would have to adjust our calculation and characterization of FFO and MFFO accordingly.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
Market Risk
We currently have limited exposure to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates. We currently have no foreign operations and are not exposed to foreign currency fluctuations.
Interest Rate Risk
The values of our real estate and related fixed-rate debt obligations are subject to fluctuations based on changes in interest rates. The value of our real estate is also subject to fluctuations based on local and regional economic conditions, which may affect our ability to refinance property-level mortgage debt when balloon payments are scheduled, if we do not choose to repay the debt when due. Interest rates are highly sensitive to many factors, including governmental monetary and tax policies, domestic and international economic and political conditions, and other factors beyond our control. An increase in interest rates would likely cause the fair value of our assets to decrease.
We are exposed to the impact of interest rate changes primarily through our borrowing activities. To limit this exposure, we generally seek non-recourse mortgage financing on a long-term, fixed-rate basis. However, from time to time, we or our joint investment partners have obtained, and may in the future obtain, variable-rate non-recourse mortgage loans, and, as a result, we have entered into, and may continue to enter into, interest rate swap agreements or interest rate cap agreements with counterparties. See Note 8 for additional information on our interest rate swaps and caps.
At June 30, 2019, all of our debt bore interest at fixed rates, was swapped to a fixed rate or was subject to an interest rate cap, with the exception of the Bridge Loan and Working Capital Facility, which had outstanding balances of $40.8 million and $5.8 million, respectively, as well as one mortgage loan with an outstanding balance of $14.5 million. Our debt obligations are more fully described in Note 9 and Summary of Financing in Item 2 above. The following table presents principal cash outflows for our Consolidated Hotels based upon expected maturity dates of our long-term debt obligations outstanding at June 30, 2019 and excludes deferred financing costs (in thousands): |

(a) | Excludes $40.8 million and $5.8 million outstanding under the Bridge Loan and Working Capital Facility, respectively, from WPC (Note 3). Unless the Advisory Agreement expires or is terminated, the Bridge Loan and Working Capital Facility, as amended, are currently scheduled to mature on September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2019, respectively. |
The estimated fair value of our fixed-rate debt and our variable-rate debt that currently bears interest at fixed rates or has effectively been converted to a fixed rate through the use of interest rate swaps, or that has been subject to an interest rate cap, is affected by changes in interest rates. A decrease or increase in interest rates of 1.0% would change the estimated fair value of this debt at June 30, 2019 by an aggregate increase of $27.7 million or an aggregate decrease of $28.4 million, respectively. Annual interest expense on our variable-rate debt that is subject to an interest rate cap at June 30, 2019 would increase or decrease by $2.8 million for each respective 1.0% change in annual interest rates.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our disclosure controls and procedures include internal controls and other procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in this and other reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the required time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms; and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. It should be noted that no system of controls can provide complete assurance of achieving a company’s objectives and that future events may impact the effectiveness of a system of controls.
Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, after conducting an evaluation, together with members of our management, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2019, have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were effective as of June 30, 2019 at a reasonable level of assurance.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
PART II — OTHER INFORMATION
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities
During the three months ended June 30, 2019, we issued 346,471 shares of common stock to our Advisor as consideration for asset management fees. These shares were issued at our most recently published NAV of $10.39 per share. In acquiring our shares, our Advisor represented that such interests were being acquired by it for investment purposes and not with a view to the distribution thereof. In addition, during the three months ended June 30, 2019, we issued 17,324 shares and 24,975 shares of our common stock to directors and certain employees of the Subadvisor, respectively, under our 2010 Equity Incentive Plan. Since none of these transactions were considered to have involved a “public offering” within the meaning of Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, the shares issued were deemed to be exempt from registration.
All prior sales of unregistered securities have been reported in our previously filed quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and annual reports on Form 10-K.

The maximum number of shares purchasable by us in any period depends on a number of factors and is at the discretion of our board of directors. We generally receive fees in connection with share redemptions. The average price paid per share will vary depending on the number of redemption requests that were made during the period, the number of redemption requests that qualify for treatment as special circumstances under the terms of the plan, and the most recently published NAV. |
