Forward-looking statements, 10-Q filed Nov 3, 2026

• Accordingly, there is no assurance that the Company’s expectations will be realized.
• The markets that we target for ownership are those that we believe align with our strategic objectives, which include those in destination markets with constrained supply trends, those that provide geographic diversity relative to our existing portfolio, and those we consider to have high demand growth potential.
• On a regular basis, we analyze our portfolio to identify opportunities to invest capital in certain projects or market non-core assets for sale to increase our portfolio quality.
• We evaluate individual hotel RevPAR and Total RevPAR performance relative to forecast and prior periods, as well as against local market benchmarks, including competitive set performance and RevPAR Index trends.
• We expect to meet our short- and long-term liquidity requirements through various sources of capital, including cash provided by operations, borrowings, issuances of additional equity, and proceeds from property dispositions, and we anticipate that these sources will provide adequate capital for the next 12 months and beyond.
• We expect that our strategy will enable us to maintain a balance sheet with an appropriate amount of debt throughout all phases of the lodging cycle.
• We generally structure our hotel acquisitions to be straightforward and to fit within our capital structure; however, we will consider a more complex transaction, such as the issuance of common OP units in connection with the acquisition of Cavallo Point, The Lodge at the Golden Gate, if we believe that the projected returns to our stockholders will significantly exceed the returns that would otherwise be available.
• We currently anticipate our significant sources of cash for the year ending December 31, 2026 will be net cash flow from hotel operations and potential dispositions.
• We expect our estimated uses of cash for the year ending December 31, 2026 will be debt service payments, acquisitions of hotel properties, capital expenditures, distributions to holders of our common stock and common OP units, and corporate expenses.
• We intend to distribute to our stockholders dividends at least equal to our REIT taxable income to avoid paying corporate income tax and excise tax on our earnings (other than the earnings of our taxable REIT subsidiaries, which are all subject to tax at regular corporate rates) and to qualify for the tax benefits afforded to REITs under the Code.
• The timing and frequency of distributions will be authorized by our board of directors and declared by us based upon a variety of factors, including our financial performance, restrictions under applicable law and our current and future loan agreements, our debt service requirements, our capital expenditure requirements, the requirements for qualification as a REIT under the Code and other factors that our board…
• As of September 30, 2026, we have set aside $40.4 million for capital projects in property improvement reserves, which are included in restricted cash on our consolidated balance sheets.
