For the first time since the pandemic started, we achieved positive Adjusted FFO in the third quarter – in this case, $21.4 million. We experienced significant strength at our resorts throughout the quarter, and business and leisure travel improved at many of our urban hotels. While the recovery in business travel temporarily paused in mid-August through mid-September due to concerns with the Delta variant and many companies delaying their return to office plans, corporate demand began to reaccelerate in mid-September and has continued throughout October. Current hotel demand and future booking trends for the remainder of the year and early 2022 are encouraging and recovering, led by our resorts and properties in Los Angeles, Boston, Philadelphia, and San Diego. We are also pleased with the great success we’ve had this year reallocating capital from our recent property sales into $384 million of highly attractive, immediately accretive investment opportunities.” -Jon E. Bortz, Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer of Pebblebrook Hotel Trust

Includes information for all of the hotels the Company owned as of September 30, 2021, which excludes Sir Francis Drake, The Roger New York and Villa Florence San Francisco on Union Square for January-September given the properties’ dispositions on April 1, June 10, and September 9, 2021, respectively.
   
3. Jekyll Island Club Resort is excluded from January-July given the property’s acquisition on July 22, 2021, and Margaritaville Hollywood Beach Resort is excluded from January-September given the property’s acquisition on September 23, 2021.

“Despite the pause in the recovery of demand caused by concerns around the Delta variant, our results exceeded expectations, led by same-property ADR which beat Q3 2019,” noted Mr. Bortz. “These exceptional results were driven largely by our resorts, which generated room rates more than 57% higher than the comparable quarter in 2019, with RevPAR 21.8% higher. Hotel EBITDA at our resorts for Q3 exceeded the comparable quarter in 2019 by 45.4%, and Hotel EBITDA margins at our resorts were more than 1,000 basis points higher, a significant accomplishment in this challenging environment. We are also pleased with our hotel management teams’ positive progress in attracting additional associates to our hotels to fill open positions while increasing operating efficiencies and expanding the use of technology at our properties, and we thank them all for their heroic efforts during these very challenging times for the hospitality industry.”

Capital Investments and Strategic Property Redevelopments

In the third quarter of 2021, the Company completed $25.8 million of capital investments throughout its portfolio. The Company has completed $52.8 million of capital investments and projects year to date through September 2021, which included the completion of the $11.7 million L’Auberge Del Mar redevelopment in the second quarter of 2021.

The Company expects to invest a total of $80.0 to $90.0 million during 2021. During the remainder of 2021, the Company will make progress on or complete its planned investments in the following redevelopment and repositioning projects that the Company believes will generate significant growth and returns:

• Southernmost Beach Resort (estimated at $15.0 million), a comprehensive guestroom renovation, including all case goods, soft goods, and bathrooms, including tub to shower conversions. The renovation commenced in July 2021 and was substantially completed earlier this week;

• Hotel Vitale (estimated at $25.0 million), a total transformation into the sustainability-focused, mission-driven, and luxury experiential 1 Hotel San Francisco, which will offer nature-inspired designs and environmentally focused aesthetics throughout guestrooms and suites, public areas, and meeting and event venues. The redevelopment began in July 2021, and the hotel will remain closed until the redevelopment’s targeted completion in the first quarter of 2022; and

• Grafton on Sunset (estimated at $5.5 million), a comprehensive redevelopment of the hotel’s indoor and outdoor public areas and suites, and a refresh of the guestrooms. The renovation began last week and is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2022, when the hotel will be renamed, repositioned, and become part of the Company’s Unofficial Z Collection.

As plans are completed, and governmental approvals are received, the Company will evaluate commencing additional previously planned major renovation and repositioning projects in 2022.

On July 22, 2021, the Company acquired the iconic 200-room Jekyll Island Club Resort in Jekyll Island, Georgia for $94.0 million. On September 9, 2021, the Company completed the sale of Villa Florence San Francisco on Union Square in San Francisco, California for $87.5 million.

On July 27, 2021, the Company closed on its offering of $250.0 million of its new 5.70% Series H Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares. Proceeds from this offering were used to fully redeem the $125.0 million of 6.50% Series C Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares and the $125.0 million of 6.375% Series D Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares, reducing the Company’s annualized preferred equity dividend obligation by approximately $1.8 million.

The Company had $2.4 billion in consolidated debt and convertible notes at an effective weighted-average interest rate of 3.3 percent. Approximately $2.2 billion, or 93 percent of the Company’s total outstanding debt and convertible notes, was at a weighted-average fixed interest rate of 3.4 percent, and approximately $0.2 billion, or 7 percent, was at a weighted-average floating interest rate of 2.4 percent. The Company had $1.4 billion of unsecured term loans, and there was no outstanding balance on its $650.0 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility. The Company has no significant loans maturing until the fourth quarter of 2022.

This press release includes certain non-GAAP financial measures. These measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative to, measures prepared in accordance with GAAP and may be different from similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with the Company’s results of operations determined in accordance with GAAP.

Funds from Operations (“FFO”) - FFO represents net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains or losses from sales of properties, plus real estate-related depreciation and amortization and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships. The Company considers FFO a useful measure of performance for an equity REIT because it facilitates an understanding of the Company's operating performance without giving effect to real estate depreciation and amortization, which assume that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, the Company believes that FFO provides a meaningful indication of its performance. The Company also considers FFO an appropriate performance measure given its wide use by investors and analysts. The Company computes FFO in accordance with standards established by the Board of Governors of Nareit in its March 1995 White Paper (as amended in November 1999 and April 2002), which may differ from the methodology for calculating FFO utilized by other equity REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to that of other REITs. Further, FFO does not represent amounts available for management’s discretionary use because of needed capital replacement or expansion, debt service obligations or other commitments and uncertainties, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund the Company’s cash needs, including its ability to make distributions. The Company presents FFO per diluted share calculations that are based on the outstanding dilutive common shares plus the outstanding Operating Partnership units for the periods presented.

The Company also evaluates its performance by reviewing Adjusted FFO because it believes that adjusting FFO to exclude certain recurring and non-recurring items described below provides useful supplemental information regarding the Company's ongoing operating performance and that the presentation of Adjusted FFO, when combined with the primary GAAP presentation of net income (loss), more completely describes the Company's operating performance. The Company adjusts FFO available to common share and unit holders for the following items, which may occur in any period, and refers to this measure as Adjusted FFO:

- Transaction costs: The Company excludes transaction costs expensed during the period because it believes that including these costs in FFO does not reflect the underlying financial performance of the Company and its hotels.

- Non-cash ground rent: The Company excludes the non-cash ground rent expense, which is primarily made up of the straight-line rent impact from a ground lease.

- Management/franchise contract transition costs: The Company excludes one-time management and/or franchise contract transition costs expensed during the period because it believes that including these costs in FFO does not reflect the underlying financial performance of the Company and its hotels.

- Interest expense adjustment for acquired liabilities: The Company excludes interest expense adjustment for acquired liabilities assumed in connection with acquisitions, because it believes that including these non-cash adjustments in FFO does not reflect the underlying financial performance of the Company.

- Finance lease adjustment: The Company excludes the effect of non-cash interest expense from finance leases because it believes that including these non-cash adjustments in FFO does not reflect the underlying financial performance of the Company.

- Non-cash amortization of acquired intangibles: The Company excludes the non-cash amortization of acquired intangibles, which includes but is not limited to the amortization of favorable and unfavorable leases or management agreements and above/below market real estate tax reduction agreements because it believes that including these non-cash adjustments in FFO does not reflect the underlying financial performance of the Company.

- Non-cash interest expense, one-time operation suspension expenses, non-cash canceled share-based compensation, early extinguishment of debt, and issuance costs of redeemed preferred shares: The Company excludes these items because the Company believes that including these adjustments in FFO does not reflect the underlying financial performance of the Company and its hotels.

The Company’s presentation of FFO in accordance with the Nareit White Paper, and as adjusted by the Company, should not be considered as an alternative to net income (computed in accordance with GAAP) as an indicator of the Company’s financial performance or to cash flow from operating activities (computed in accordance with GAAP) as an indicator of its liquidity.

This press release includes certain non-GAAP financial measures. These measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative to, measures prepared in accordance with GAAP and may be different from similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with the Company’s results of operations determined in accordance with GAAP.

Earnings before Interest, Taxes, and Depreciation and Amortization ("EBITDA") - The Company believes that EBITDA provides investors a useful financial measure to evaluate its operating performance, excluding the impact of our capital structure (primarily interest expense) and our asset base (primarily depreciation and amortization).

Earnings before Interest, Taxes, and Depreciation and Amortization for Real Estate ("EBITDAre") - The Company believes that EBITDAre provides investors a useful financial measure to evaluate its operating performance, and the Company presents EBITDAre in accordance with Nareit guidelines, as defined in its September 2017 white paper "Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization for Real Estate." EBITDAre adjusts EBITDA for the following items, which may occur in any period, and refers to these measures as Adjusted EBITDAre: (1) gains or losses on the disposition of depreciated property, including gains or losses on change of control; (2) impairment write-downs of depreciated property and of investments in unconsolidated affiliates caused by a decrease in value of depreciated property in the affiliate; and (3) adjustments to reflect the entity's share of EBITDAre of unconsolidated affiliates.

The Company also evaluates its performance by reviewing Adjusted EBITDAre because it believes that adjusting EBITDAre to exclude certain recurring and non-recurring items described below provides useful supplemental information regarding the Company's ongoing operating performance and that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDAre, when combined with the primary GAAP presentation of net income (loss), more completely describes the Company's operating performance. The Company adjusts EBITDAre for the following items, which may occur in any period, and refers to these measures as Adjusted EBITDAre:

- Transaction costs: The Company excludes transaction costs expensed during the period because it believes that including these costs in EBITDAre does not reflect the underlying financial performance of the Company and its hotels.

- Non-cash ground rent: The Company excludes the non-cash ground rent expense, which is primarily made up of the straight-line rent impact from a ground lease.

- Management/franchise contract transition costs: The Company excludes one-time management and/or franchise contract transition costs expensed during the period because it believes that including these costs in EBITDAre does not reflect the underlying financial performance of the Company and its hotels.

- Non-cash amortization of acquired intangibles: The Company excludes the non-cash amortization of acquired intangibles, which includes but is not limited to the amortization of favorable and unfavorable leases or management agreements and above/below market real estate tax reduction agreements because it believes that including these non-cash adjustments in EBITDAre does not reflect the underlying financial performance of the Company and its hotels.

- One-time operation suspension expenses and non-cash canceled share-based compensation: The Company excludes these items because it believes that including these costs in EBITDAre does not reflect the underlying financial performance of the Company and its hotels.

The Company’s presentation of EBITDAre, and as adjusted by the Company, should not be considered as an alternative to net income (computed in accordance with GAAP) as an indicator of the Company’s financial performance or to cash flow from operating activities (computed in accordance with GAAP) as an indicator of its liquidity.
