“Our third quarter results exceeded our expectations, led by strong group production, continued recovery in business transient and leisure remaining strong while returning to normal seasonality. We saw a step up in trends post-Labor Day, especially in our Urban markets which led our RevPAR in September to achieve a new high relative to 2019 and we are pleased to see this positive momentum carry through October,” commented Leslie D. Hale, President and Chief Executive Officer. “We are especially thrilled this quarter to reintroduce the iconic Mills House Hotel in Charleston and launch the new beachfront Zachari Dunes at Mandalay Beach, both of which joined the Curio Collection by Hilton following transformative conversions, and are already outperforming our expectations. Additionally, we remained very active on the capital allocation front and executed on multiple initiatives including further strengthening our balance sheet by addressing our near term debt maturities, continuing to take advantage of the optionality our balance sheet provides to repurchase our shares accretively and raising our dividend, all of which positions us to drive growth and shareholder value.”

The prefix “pro forma” as defined by the Company, denotes operating results which include results for periods prior to its ownership and excludes sold hotels. Pro forma RevPAR and pro forma Hotel EBITDA Margin are reported on a comparable basis and therefore exclude any hotels sold during the period and non-comparable hotels that were not open for operation or were closed for renovation for comparable periods. Explanations of EBITDA, EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDA, Hotel EBITDA, Hotel EBITDA Margin, FFO, and Adjusted FFO, as well as reconciliations of those measures to net income or loss, if applicable, are included within this release.

Operational Update

Lodging fundamentals continued their positive momentum during the third quarter. The Company’s RevPAR in September achieved 98% of 2019, a new high since the pandemic, benefiting from significant improvement in group, ramping business transient which experienced a step-up post Labor Day, and continued strength in leisure. These positive trends were most impactful in the Company’s Urban markets which achieved rate premiums to the comparable period of 2019 on strong pricing power during both weekdays and weekends. These improving trends led the Company to achieve pro forma RevPAR of $137.09 and pro forma Hotel EBITDA of $100 million during the third quarter, which represented approximately 94% and 91% of 2019 levels respectively, with RevPAR recovery to 2019 achieving the highest level of the pandemic.

Conversions

In early October, the Company launched two hotel conversions, The Mills House Hotel, a Curio Collection Hotel by Hilton in Charleston, South Carolina; and Zachari Dunes on Mandalay Beach, a Curio Collection Hotel by Hilton in Oxnard, California. The conversions are anticipated to outperform the Company's original underwriting. These conversions demonstrate the ability of the Company to unlock significant embedded value in the portfolio.

Share Repurchases

Since the beginning of October, the Company has repurchased approximately 0.7 million common shares for $7.1 million, at an average price per share of $10.62. Year to date, the Company has repurchased 4.9 million shares for $57.1 million, at an average price per share of $11.75. The Company's share buyback program currently has approximately $193.0 million of remaining capacity.

Balance Sheet

As of September 30, 2022, the Company had approximately $1.1 billion of total liquidity, comprising approximately $488.1 million of unrestricted cash and $600.0 million available under its revolving credit facility ("Revolver"), and $2.2 billion of debt outstanding.

In October 2022, the Company exercised its option to extend the maturities of approximately $225.0 million of term loans to 2024. Additionally in November 2022, the Company entered into a $200.0 million term loan maturing in January 2028, inclusive of extension options. The proceeds will be used to repay $100.0 million term loan and $94.0 million of 2023 maturing term loans. The $200.0 million term loan will be funded in two tranches, $105.0 million which was funded at closing and $95.0 million to be funded through a delayed draw in early 2023.

Dividends

The Company’s Board of Trustees declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.05 per common share of beneficial interest of the Company in the third quarter. The dividend was paid on October 17, 2022 to shareholders of record as of September 30, 2022.

RLJ Lodging Trust
Non-GAAP and Accounting Commentary

Non-Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“Non-GAAP”) Financial Measures

The Company considers the following non-GAAP financial measures useful to investors as key supplemental measures of its performance: (1) FFO, (2) Adjusted FFO, (3) EBITDA, (4) EBITDAre, (5) Adjusted EBITDA, (6) Hotel EBITDA, and (7) Hotel EBITDA Margin. These Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered along with, but not as alternatives to, net income or loss as a measure of its operating performance. FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA, EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDA, Hotel EBITDA, and Hotel EBITDA Margin, as calculated by the Company, may not be comparable to other companies that do not define such terms exactly as the Company defines such terms.

Funds From Operations (“FFO”)

The Company calculates Funds from Operations (“FFO”) in accordance with standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT, which defines FFO as net income or loss (calculated in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains or losses from sales of real estate, impairment, the cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles, plus depreciation and amortization, and adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Historical cost accounting for real estate assets implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values have instead historically risen or fallen with market conditions, most real estate industry investors consider FFO to be helpful in evaluating a real estate company’s operations. The Company believes that the presentation of FFO provides useful information to investors regarding the Company’s operating performance and can facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods and between real estate investment trusts (“REITs”), even though FFO does not represent an amount that accrues directly to common shareholders.

The Company’s calculation of FFO may not be comparable to measures calculated by other companies who do not use the NAREIT definition of FFO or do not calculate FFO per diluted share in accordance with NAREIT guidance. Additionally, FFO may not be helpful when comparing the Company to non-REITs. The Company presents FFO attributable to common shareholders, which includes unitholders of limited partnership interest (“OP units”) in RLJ Lodging Trust, L.P., the Company’s operating partnership, because the OP units are redeemable for common shares of the Company. The Company believes it is meaningful for the investor to understand FFO attributable to all common shares and OP units.

EBITDA and EBITDAre

Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization (“EBITDA”) is defined as net income or loss excluding: (1) interest expense; (2) income tax expense; and (3) depreciation and amortization expense. The Company considers EBITDA useful to an investor in evaluating and facilitating comparisons of its operating performance between periods and between REITs by removing the impact of its capital structure (primarily interest expense) and asset base (primarily depreciation and amortization) from its operating results. In addition, EBITDA is used as one measure in determining the value of hotel acquisitions and dispositions.

In addition to EBITDA, the Company presents EBITDAre in accordance with NAREIT guidelines, which defines EBITDAre as net income or loss (calculated in accordance with GAAP) excluding interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization expense, gains or losses from sales of real estate, impairment, and adjustments for unconsolidated joint ventures. The Company believes that the presentation of EBITDAre provides useful information to investors regarding the Company's operating performance and can facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods and between REITs.

Adjustments to FFO and EBITDA

The Company adjusts FFO, EBITDA, and EBITDAre for certain items that the Company considers either outside the normal course of operations or extraordinary. The Company believes that Adjusted FFO, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDAre provide useful supplemental information to investors regarding its ongoing operating performance that, when considered with net income or loss, FFO, EBITDA, and EBITDAre, is beneficial to an investor’s understanding of its operating performance. The Company adjusts FFO, EBITDA, and EBITDAre for the following items:

• Transaction Costs: The Company excludes transaction costs expensed during the period
• Pre-Opening Costs: The Company excludes certain costs related to pre-opening of hotels
• Non-Cash Expenses: The Company excludes the effect of certain non-cash items such as the amortization of share-based compensation, non-cash income taxes, and non-cash expense related to discontinued interest rate hedges
• Other Non-Operational Expenses: The Company excludes the effect of certain non-operational expenses representing income and expenses outside the normal course of operations

Hotel EBITDA and Hotel EBITDA Margin

With respect to Consolidated Hotel EBITDA, the Company believes that excluding the effect of corporate-level expenses and certain non-cash items provides a more complete understanding of the operating results over which individual hotels and operators have direct control. The Company believes property-level results provide investors with supplemental information about the ongoing operational performance of the Company’s hotels and the effectiveness of third-party management companies.

Pro forma Consolidated Hotel EBITDA includes prior ownership information provided by the sellers of the hotels for periods prior to our acquisition of the hotels, which has not been audited and excludes results from sold hotels as applicable. Pro forma Hotel EBITDA and pro forma Hotel EBITDA Margin exclude the results of non-comparable hotels. The following is a summary of pro forma hotel adjustments:
