HIGHLIGHTS:

  • RevPAR.  Room revenue per available room (“RevPAR”) for the Company’s composite portfolio, which includes the Hyatt Centric Arlington and the rooms participating in our rental program at the Hyde Resort & Residences, during the three-month period ending September 30, 2019, increased 0.3% over the three months ended September 30, 2018, to $100.06 reflecting a 1.1% increase in occupancy offset by a 0.7% decrease in average daily rate (“ADR”). For the nine-month period ending September 30, 2019, RevPAR increased 4.5% over the nine months ended September 30, 2018, to $116.57 driven by a 2.2% increase in occupancy and a 2.3% increase in ADR. 
  • Revenue.  For the three-month period ending September 30, 2019, total revenue increased 2.7% over the three-month period ending September 30, 2018.  For the nine-month period ending September 30, 2019, total revenue increased 5.0% or by approximately $6.8 million to approximately $141.5 million, as compared to approximately $134.7 million for the nine-month period ending September 30, 2018. 
  • Gain on Exercise of Development Right.  On September 26, 2019, the Company received title to a commercial condominium unit of the Hyde Beach House Resort & Residences, a newly constructed 342-unit condominium hotel located in Hollywood, Florida (“Hyde Beach House”) consisting of a 3,000 square foot ballroom and adjacent pre-function space.  The unit will be available for use as additional ballroom and function space for our adjacent hotel, the DoubleTree Resort by Hilton Hollywood Beach.  Conveyance of the ballroom condominium unit was required pursuant to an existing obligation on the part of the owner of the property as a condition to the development of the Hyde Beach House.  Accompanying the title to the ballroom condominium unit are dedicated rights to 200 parking spaces within the six-story parking structure adjacent to the ballroom.  The estimated fair value of the ballroom condominium unit and parking right is approximately $3.9 million.
  • Common Dividends. On October 29, 2019, the Company announced a quarterly dividend (distribution) on its common stock (and units) of $0.13 per share (and unit) to stockholders (and unitholders) of record as of December 13, 2019, payable on January 10, 2020.
  • Hotel EBITDA. The Company generated hotel EBITDA of approximately $8.9 million during the three-month period ending September 30, 2019.  Hotel EBITDA decreased 3.0%, or approximately $0.3 million, over the three months ended September 30, 2018.  For the nine-month period ending September 30, 2019, hotel EBITDA increased 0.6%, or approximately $0.2 million, over the nine months ended September 30, 2018. 
  • Adjusted FFO available to common stockholders and unitholders. For the three-month period ending September 30, 2019, adjusted FFO available to common stockholders and unitholders increased 349.9% from the three months ended September 30, 2018.  For the nine-month period ending September 30, 2019, adjusted FFO available to common stockholders and unitholders increased 15.4% or approximately $2.2 million over the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

Andrew M. Sims, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Sotherly Hotels Inc., commented, “Operationally, we had a difficult quarter as a result of Hurricane Dorian.  While we did not experience any significant damage to our hotels located near Dorian’s path (South Florida, Tampa, Jacksonville, Savannah, Wilmington), we incurred a significant loss in revenue.  The hurricane languished for almost two weeks, washing out the Labor Day weekend and the following ten days.  On a positive note, we acquired two commercial condominium units in the Hyde Beach House in the quarter, which included the conveyance of a freestanding ballroom to our DoubleTree Resort by Hilton Hollywood Beach hotel.”

Balance Sheet/Liquidity

At September 30, 2019, the Company had approximately $35.3 million of available cash and cash equivalents, of which approximately $5.2 million was reserved for real estate taxes, insurance, capital improvements and certain other expenses or otherwise restricted. The Company had principal balances of approximately $363.0 million in outstanding debt at a weighted average interest rate of approximately 4.92%.

During the quarter, the Company sold and issued 202,469 shares of its 7.875% Series C Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Stock (the “Series C Preferred Stock”) through its at-the-market program, for aggregate net proceeds of approximately $4.9 million.

Portfolio Update

On September 26, 2019, we closed on the purchase of a commercial unit of the Hyde Beach House from 4000 South Ocean Property Owner, LLLP.  In connection with the closing, we (i) acquired commercial unit 2 of the Hyde Beach House, along with rights to certain limited common elements appurtenant to the commercial unit, for an adjusted purchase price of approximately $5.4 million; (ii) purchased inventories and equipment for additional consideration in the amount of approximately $0.7 million; (iii) entered into a Second Addendum to the purchase agreement; (iv) entered into a 20-year parking and cabana management agreement for the parking garage and poolside cabanas associated with the Hyde Beach House; (v) entered into a 20-year management agreement relating to the operation and management of the Hyde Beach House condominium association; and (vi) received a pre-opening services fee of $1.0 million.  We began operating a condominium unit rental program for residential units in this facility in November 2019.

As stated above, in connection with the closing of the Hyde Beach House acquisition, the DoubleTree Resort by Hilton Hollywood Beach acquired a commercial condominium unit consisting of a 3,000 square foot ballroom and adjacent pre-function space as well as 200 dedicated parking spaces within the parking garage adjacent to the hotel.

2019 Outlook

The Company is updating its previously issued guidance for 2019, accounting for current and expected performance within its portfolio, taking into account market conditions, weather-related events and the acquisition of the commercial units within the Hyde Beach House.  The updated guidance is predicated on estimates of occupancy and ADR that are consistent with the most recent 2019 calendar year forecasts by Smith Travel Research for the market segments in which the Company operates.

SOTHERLY HOTELS INC.KEY OPERATING METRICS(unaudited)

The following tables illustrate the key operating metrics for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, for the Company’s twelve wholly-owned properties (“actual” portfolio metrics), as well as the eleven wholly-owned properties in the portfolio that were under the Company’s control during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and the corresponding periods in 2018 (“same-store” portfolio metrics). Accordingly, the actual data does not include the participating condominium hotel rooms at the Hyde Resort & Residences or the Hyde Beach House, and the same-store data does not include the performance of the Hyatt Centric Arlington which we acquired in March 2018 or the participating condominium hotel rooms at the Hyde Resort & Residences or the Hyde Beach House.  The composite portfolio metrics represent the Company’s twelve wholly-owned properties and the participating condominium hotel rooms at the Hyde Resort & Residences during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and the corresponding period in 2018.  No metrics are reflected for the results of the Hyde Beach House because the condominium unit rental program did not begin until November 2019.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company considers the non-GAAP measures of FFO (including FFO per share), EBITDA and hotel EBITDA to be key supplemental measures of the Company’s performance and could be considered along with, not alternatives to, net income (loss) as a measure of the Company’s performance. These measures do not represent cash generated from operating activities determined by generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) or amounts available for the Company’s discretionary use and should not be considered alternative measures of net income, cash flows from operations or any other operating performance measure prescribed by GAAP. 

FFO

Industry analysts and investors use Funds from Operations (“FFO”), as a supplemental operating performance measure of an equity REIT. FFO is calculated in accordance with the definition adopted by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”). FFO, as defined by NAREIT, represents net income or loss determined in accordance with GAAP, excluding extraordinary items as defined under GAAP and gains or losses from sales of previously depreciated operating real estate assets, plus certain non-cash items such as real estate asset depreciation and amortization, and after adjustment for any noncontrolling interest from unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with GAAP implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values instead have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, many investors and analysts have considered the presentation of operating results for real estate companies that use historical cost accounting to be insufficient by itself.

The Company considers FFO to be a useful measure of adjusted net income (loss) for reviewing comparative operating and financial performance because we believe FFO is most directly comparable to net income (loss), which remains the primary measure of performance, because by excluding gains or losses related to sales of previously depreciated operating real estate assets and excluding real estate asset depreciation and amortization, FFO assists in comparing the operating performance of a company’s real estate between periods or as compared to different companies. Although FFO is intended to be a REIT industry standard, other companies may not calculate FFO in the same manner as we do, and investors should not assume that FFO as reported by us is comparable to FFO as reported by other REITs.

Adjusted FFO

The Company presents adjusted FFO, including adjusted FFO per share and unit, which adjusts for certain additional items including changes in deferred income taxes, any unrealized gain (loss) on hedging instruments or warrant derivative, loan impairment losses, losses on early extinguishment of debt, aborted offering costs, loan modification fees, franchise termination costs, costs associated with the departure of executive officers, litigation settlement, over-assessed real estate taxes on appeal, change in control gains or losses and acquisition transaction costs. We exclude these items as we believe it allows for meaningful comparisons between periods and among other REITs and is more indicative than FFO of the on-going performance of our business and assets. Our calculation of adjusted FFO may be different from similar measures calculated by other REITs.

EBITDA

The Company believes that excluding the effect of non-operating expenses and non-cash charges, and the portion of those items related to unconsolidated entities, all of which are also based on historical cost accounting and may be of limited significance in evaluating current performance, can help eliminate the accounting effects of depreciation and financing decisions and facilitate comparisons of core operating profitability between periods and between REITs, even though EBITDA also does not represent an amount that accrued directly to shareholders.

Hotel EBITDA

The Company defines hotel EBITDA as net income or loss excluding: (1) interest expense, (2) interest income, (3) income tax provision or benefit, (4) equity in the income or loss of equity investees, (5) unrealized gains and losses on derivative instruments not included in other comprehensive income, (6) gains and losses on disposal of assets, (7) realized gains and losses on investments, (8) impairment of long-lived assets or investments, (9) loss on early debt extinguishment, (10) gains or losses on change in control, (11) gain on exercise of development right, (12) corporate general and administrative expense, (13) depreciation and amortization, (14) gains and losses on involuntary conversions of assets, (15) distributions to preferred stockholders and (16) other operating revenue not related to our wholly-owned portfolio.  We believe this provides a more complete understanding of the operating results over which our wholly-owned hotels and its operators have direct control.  We believe hotel EBITDA provides investors with supplemental information on the on-going operational performance of our hotels and the effectiveness of third-party management companies operating our business on a property-level basis. The Company’s calculation of hotel EBITDA may be different from similar measures calculated by other REITs.
