Apple Hospitality REIT Reports Results of Operations for First Quarter 2020
Apple Hospitality REIT, Inc. (NYSE: APLE) (the “Company” or “Apple Hospitality”) today announced results of operations for the first quarter ended March 31, 2020 and provided an operational update regarding the Company’s response to the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
Justin Knight, Chief Executive Officer of Apple Hospitality, commented, “My heart goes out to those who have been directly affected by the coronavirus, and I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all first responders, health care workers and everyone on the front lines of this pandemic. The COVID-19 outbreak and efforts to mitigate it have dramatically impacted the environment in which we operate, and our efforts to maintain our business and preserve our ability to thrive in future years have required us to make difficult decisions that affect our employees, our shareholders and the associates at our hotels. We do not take these decisions lightly. We are diligently working with the brands, our management companies, banking teams and industry associations to effectively adapt our business to maintain a sound liquidity position and safeguard long-term value for our shareholders. We are deeply committed to the overall health and well-being of all hotel associates and guests and will continue to work closely with the brands and our management companies to provide the highest levels of cleanliness and safety at our hotels. Through our ownership of rooms-focused hotels, our geographic diversification, our alignment with industry-leading brands and hotel operators, and our conservative approach to our capital structure, Apple Hospitality was intentionally built to weather challenging times. It is during an unprecedented time like this that I am especially grateful for the strong relationships we have fostered throughout the hotel industry, the depth and experience of our team at Apple Hospitality, and the strength of our underlying strategy, and I am confident that we are well positioned for outperformance as economic conditions improve and travel resumes.”
Actions to Mitigate Operational and Financial Impact of COVID-19
The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the hotel industry are unprecedented and have dramatically reduced business and leisure travel. Since March 2020, Apple Hospitality has experienced a significant decline in revenue and operating results throughout its portfolio, which the Company expects to continue for an extended period of time. Average occupancy for the Company’s Comparable Hotels declined from approximately 76 percent in February to below 20 percent by the end of March and for the entire month of April, which has been accompanied by declines in average daily rate (ADR) of approximately 30 percent for the month of April, as compared to April 2019. The following is a brief summary of certain measures the Company, its third-party management companies and the brands the Company’s hotels are franchised with have taken to preserve capital and mitigate the operational and financial impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company will continue to evaluate and implement additional measures as the situation evolves and work to position the hotels to adapt to the changes that may occur to guest preferences in the future.

Portfolio Activity
Acquisitions and Contracts for Potential Acquisitions
In April 2020, Apple Hospitality closed on the purchase of the newly developed Hampton Inn & Suites by Hilton and Home2 Suites by Hilton in Cape Canaveral, Florida, a combined 224-room dual-branded complex. The Company entered into the contract to purchase the hotels in 2018. The purchase price was approximately $47 million, funded by $25 million of cash on hand and a one-year note payable with the developer for approximately $22 million.
The Company has outstanding contracts, all of which were entered into prior to 2020, for the potential purchase of three additional hotels for a combined total expected purchase price of approximately $113 million. The three hotels are currently under development and include a Hyatt House and Hyatt Place in Tempe, Arizona, and a Hilton Garden Inn in Madison, Wisconsin. Assuming all conditions to closing are met, the hotels will be acquired over the next five to 15 months from March 31, 2020. There are many conditions to closing under each of the contracts that have not yet been satisfied, including completion of construction, and there can be no assurance that closings on the three hotels will occur. If the sellers meet all of the conditions to closing, the Company is obligated to specifically perform under these contracts.
Dispositions
During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company sold its SpringHill Suites by Marriott in Sanford, Florida, and SpringHill Suites by Marriott in Boise, Idaho, for a total combined gross sales price of approximately $45 million and recognized a gain on sale of approximately $9 million in the first quarter of 2020.
Renaissance New York Hotel 57 Converted to an Independent Boutique Hotel
In January 2020, the Company converted its 208-room Renaissance hotel in New York, New York, to an independent boutique hotel. The intent of the conversion is to provide greater long-term flexibility with the operations of the hotel. As anticipated, the operating results of the hotel declined in the first quarter of 2020 (prior to COVID-19) as compared to the first quarter of 2019 as the management team worked to replace revenue that was historically generated from the Renaissance brand system. The hotel has experienced further declines due to the effects of COVID-19.
Capital Improvements
During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company invested approximately $24 million in capital expenditures and anticipates spending an additional $10 million to $15 million during the remainder of 2020. This estimate is approximately $50 million less than originally planned for the entire year of 2020 as the Company has postponed all non-essential capital improvements planned in order to maintain a sound liquidity position as a result of COVID-19.
Balance Sheet
As of March 31, 2020, Apple Hospitality had approximately $1.8 billion of total outstanding indebtedness with a current combined weighted-average interest rate of approximately 3.3 percent and unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $0.4 billion. Excluding unamortized debt issuance costs and fair value adjustments, the Company’s total outstanding indebtedness is comprised of approximately $500 million in property-level debt secured by 31 hotels and approximately $1.3 billion outstanding on its unsecured credit facilities. To increase the amount of cash on hand, the Company has drawn all of its borrowing capacity under its $425 million revolving credit facility as of March 31, 2020. The Company’s total debt to total capitalization, net of cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2020 was approximately 40 percent. As of March 31, 2020, the Company’s weighted-average debt maturities are 5 years, with no maturities for the remainder of 2020 and $32 million, net of reserves, maturing in 2021. Although at March 31, 2020, the Company was in compliance with the covenants under its credit facilities’ loan agreements, in anticipation of not meeting certain covenants in future periods, the Company is working with its lenders and anticipates entering into an amendment to each of the credit facilities that will provide relief from the covenants for a period of four quarters beginning with the quarter ending June 30, 2020. The terms of the proposed amendments are expected to include minimum liquidity requirements and restrictions on the amount of the Company’s distributions, capital expenditures, share repurchases and acquisitions among other items during the covenant relief period. Additionally, the Company anticipates the amendments to require the interest rate under its credit facilities to increase during the covenant relief period to the highest interest rate margin under each of the credit agreements which would range from 75 to 80 basis points of an increase above current margins depending on the agreement. Although the Company anticipates completing these amendments, there are many conditions to closing, including, but not limited to, finalizing the terms of the amendments and completing the amendments themselves, and there can be no assurances that the Company will be able to complete the amendments with the noted terms or at all.
Share Repurchase Program
During the first three months of 2020, the Company purchased, under its Share Repurchase Program, approximately 1.5 million of its common shares at a weighted-average market purchase price of approximately $9.42 per common share, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $14.3 million. The timing of share repurchases and the number of common shares to be repurchased under the Share Repurchase Program will depend upon prevailing market conditions, regulatory requirements and other factors. The Company terminated its written trading plan under its Share Repurchase Program in March 2020.
Shareholder Distributions
Apple Hospitality paid distributions of $0.30 per common share during the three-month period ended March 31, 2020. In March 2020, the Company announced the suspension of its monthly distributions as a result of COVID-19 and the impact on its business.
2020 Outlook
In March 2020, the Company announced that it had withdrawn its full year 2020 outlook provided on February 24, 2020, due to cancellations and corporate travel policy restrictions related to concerns surrounding COVID-19. Given the uncertainties related to the depth and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on the travel industry and hotel operations, the Company does not expect to issue new guidance until operating fundamentals begin to stabilize.

Apple Hospitality REIT Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company considers the following non-GAAP financial measures useful to investors as key supplemental measures of its operating performance: Funds from Operations (“FFO”); Modified FFO (“MFFO”); Earnings Before Interest, Income Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”); Earnings Before Interest, Income Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization for Real Estate (“EBITDAre”); Adjusted EBITDAre (“Adjusted EBITDAre”); and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA (“Adjusted Hotel EBITDA”). These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered along with, but not as alternatives to, net income (loss), cash flow from operations or any other operating GAAP measure. FFO, MFFO, EBITDA, EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDAre and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA are not necessarily indicative of funds available to fund the Company’s cash needs, including its ability to make cash distributions. Although FFO, MFFO, EBITDA, EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDAre and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA, as calculated by the Company, may not be comparable to FFO, MFFO, EBITDA, EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDAre and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA, as reported by other companies that do not define such terms exactly as the Company defines such terms, the Company believes these supplemental measures are useful to investors when comparing the Company’s results between periods and with other REITs. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to net income (loss) are provided in the following pages.
Forward-Looking Statements Disclaimer
This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by use of statements that include phrases such as “may,” “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “estimate,” “project,” “target,” “goal,” “plan,” “should,” “will,” “predict,” “potential,” “outlook,” “strategy,” and similar expressions that convey the uncertainty of future events or outcomes. Such statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance, or achievements of the Company to be materially different from future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.
Currently, one of the most significant factors that could cause actual outcomes to differ materially from the Company’s forward-looking statements is the potential increased adverse effect of COVID-19 on the Company’s business, financial performance and condition, operating results and cash flows, the real estate market and the hospitality industry specifically, and the global economy and financial markets. The significance, extent and duration of the impacts caused by the COVID-19 outbreak on the Company will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence at this time, including the scope, severity and duration of the pandemic, the extent and effectiveness of the actions taken to contain the pandemic or mitigate its impact, the Company’s ability to complete the anticipated amendments to its credit facilities on the terms and timing anticipated, or at all, and the direct and indirect economic effects of the pandemic and containment measures, among others. Moreover, investors are cautioned to interpret many of the risks identified under the section titled “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 as being heightened as a result of the ongoing and numerous adverse impacts of COVID-19. Such additional factors include, but are not limited to, the ability of the Company to effectively acquire and dispose of properties; the ability of the Company to successfully integrate pending transactions and implement its operating strategy; changes in general political, economic and competitive conditions and specific market conditions; reduced business and leisure travel due to travel-related health concerns, including the widespread outbreak of COVID-19 or any other infectious or contagious diseases in the U.S. or abroad; adverse changes in the real estate and real estate capital markets; financing risks; litigation risks; regulatory proceedings or inquiries; and changes in laws or regulations or interpretations of current laws and regulations that impact the Company’s business, assets or classification as a REIT. Although the Company believes that the assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements contained herein are reasonable, any of the assumptions could be inaccurate, and therefore there can be no assurance that such statements included in this press release will prove to be accurate. In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking statements included herein, the inclusion of such information should not be regarded as a representation by the Company or any other person that the results or conditions described in such statements or the objectives and plans of the Company will be achieved. In addition, the Company’s qualification as a REIT involves the application of highly technical and complex provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. Readers should carefully review the risk factors described in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including but not limited to those discussed in the section titled “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 and Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2020. Any forward-looking statement that the Company makes speaks only as of the date of this press release. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements or cautionary factors, as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise, except as required by law.

Apple Hospitality REIT, Inc.
Reconciliation of Net Income (Loss) to EBITDA, EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDAre and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA
(Unaudited)
(in thousands)
EBITDA is a commonly used measure of performance in many industries and is defined as net income (loss) excluding interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. The Company believes EBITDA is useful to investors because it helps the Company and its investors evaluate the ongoing operating performance of the Company by removing the impact of its capital structure (primarily interest expense) and its asset base (primarily depreciation and amortization). In addition, certain covenants included in the agreements governing the Company’s indebtedness use EBITDA, as defined in the specific credit agreement, as a measure of financial compliance.
In addition to EBITDA, the Company also calculates and presents EBITDAre in accordance with standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“Nareit”), which defines EBITDAre as EBITDA, excluding gains and losses from the sale of certain real estate assets (including gains and losses from change in control), plus real estate related impairments, and adjustments to reflect the entity’s share of EBITDAre of unconsolidated affiliates. The Company presents EBITDAre because it believes that it provides further useful information to investors in comparing its operating performance between periods and between REITs that report EBITDAre using the Nareit definition.
The Company also considers the exclusion of non-cash straight-line operating ground lease expense from EBITDAre useful, as this expense does not reflect the underlying performance of the related hotels (Adjusted EBITDAre).
The Company further excludes actual corporate-level general and administrative expense for the Company from Adjusted EBITDAre (Adjusted Hotel EBITDA) to isolate property-level operational performance over which the Company’s hotel operators have direct control. The Company believes Adjusted Hotel EBITDA provides useful supplemental information to investors regarding operating performance and is used by management to measure the performance of the Company’s hotels and effectiveness of the operators of the hotels.
The following table reconciles the Company’s GAAP net income (loss) to EBITDA, EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDAre and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA on a quarterly basis from June 30, 2018 through March 31, 2020.

Reconciliation of Net Income (Loss) to FFO and MFFO
(Unaudited)
(in thousands)
The Company calculates and presents FFO in accordance with standards established by Nareit, which defines FFO as net income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains and losses from the sale of certain real estate assets (including gains and losses from change in control), extraordinary items as defined by GAAP, and the cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles, plus real estate related depreciation, amortization and impairments, and adjustments for unconsolidated affiliates. Historical cost accounting for real estate assets 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, most real estate industry investors consider FFO to be helpful in evaluating a real estate company’s operations. The Company further believes that by excluding the effects of these items, FFO is useful to investors in comparing its operating performance between periods and between REITs that report FFO using the Nareit definition. FFO as presented by the Company is applicable only to its common shareholders, but does not represent an amount that accrues directly to common shareholders.
The Company calculates MFFO by further adjusting FFO for the exclusion of amortization of finance ground lease assets, amortization of favorable and unfavorable operating leases, net and non-cash straight-line operating ground lease expense, as these expenses do not reflect the underlying performance of the related hotels. The Company presents MFFO when evaluating its performance because it believes that it provides further useful supplemental information to investors regarding its ongoing operating performance.
The following table reconciles the Company’s GAAP net income (loss) to FFO and MFFO for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019.

(1) The average interest rate gives effect to interest rate swaps, as applicable. (2) The Company anticipates entering into an amendment to each of its unsecured credit facilities to waive certain covenants under the agreements. The amendments are expected to require that the interest rates on each of its unsecured credit facilities increase to the highest interest rate margin under each facility (75-80 basis points above the current margin) during the covenant relief period.Note: See further information on the Company’s indebtedness in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2020.
