American Hotel Income Properties REIT LP (“AHIP”, or the “Company”) (TSX: HOT.UN, TSX: HOT.U, TSX: HOT.DB. V), today announced its financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024.

All amounts presented in this news release are in United States dollars (“U.S. dollars”) unless otherwise indicated.

2024 SECOND QUARTER HIGHLIGHTS

• Diluted FFO per unit (1) and normalized diluted FFO per unit (1) were $0.12 and $0.10, respectively, for the second quarter of 2024, compared to $0.19 and $0.14 for the same period of 2023.
• RevPAR (1) increased 5.1% to $103 for the second quarter of 2024, compared to $98 for the same period of 2023.
• ADR (1) increased 3.0% to $137 for the second quarter of 2024, compared to $133 for the same period of 2023.
• Occupancy (1) was 75.4% for the second quarter of 2024, an increase of 160 basis points (“bps”) compared to 73.8% for the same period of 2023.
• NOI and normalized NOI (1) were $24.2 million for the second quarter of 2024, decreases of 4.3% and 11.0%, respectively, compared to $25.3 million and $27.2 million for the same period in 2023.
• AHIP had $26.7 million in available liquidity as at June 30, 2024, compared to $27.8 million as at December 31, 2023. The available liquidity of $26.7 million was comprised of an unrestricted cash balance of $16.0 million and borrowing availability of $10.7 million under the revolving credit facility.

“AHIP’s portfolio of premium branded select service hotel properties continued to demonstrate strong demand metrics in 2024.” said Jonathan Korol, CEO. “Portfolio ADR, occupancy and RevPAR all achieved meaningful growth in the current quarter. RevPAR increased 5.1% to $103, the highest level in the history of the Company. While cost inflation is decelerating across many cost categories, costs remain elevated resulting in pressures to hotel operating margins.”

Mr. Korol added: “AHIP’s Board and management team continue to advance our plan to preserve cash, enhance financial stability and protect long term value for our unitholders. In late 2023, we completed an amendment and extension of our revolving credit facility, reduction and deferral of hotel management fees, and temporary suspension of our monthly distribution. We are currently executing a plan to address 2024 debt obligations with asset sales and loan refinancings. In the first quarter, AHIP completed two asset sales and refinanced mortgage debt for three hotels. We currently have 6 additional hotels under contract for sale. These steps will strengthen our liquidity and balance sheet to ensure we are positioned to benefit when the industry operating and macroeconomic environment improves. We will continue to monitor conditions and operating performance, while considering further strategic opportunities to deliver value over the long term.”

2024 SECOND QUARTER REVIEW

FINANCIAL AND OPERATIONAL HIGHLIGHTS

For the three months ended June 30, 2024, ADR was $137, and occupancy was 75.4%, increases of 3.0% and 160 bps, respectively, compared to the same period in 2023. Collectively, strong ADR and increasing occupancy resulted in an increase of 5.1% in RevPAR compared to the same period in 2023.

The improved RevPAR is attributable to higher demand for the extended stay and select service properties. This is partially due to improved performance of properties disrupted in 2023 by the weather-related damage and property renovations at three hotels, as well as the disposition of properties with lower-than-average portfolio RevPAR.

The ability to control and manage daily rates is a key advantage of the lodging sector, which has enabled AHIP to achieve growth in RevPAR, partially mitigating the effects of rising labor costs and general inflationary pressures across the portfolio.

NOI, NOI MARGIN AND DILUTED FFO PER UNIT

NOI and normalized NOI were $24.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, decreases of 4.3% and 11.0%, respectively, compared to NOI of $25.3 million and normalized NOI of $27.2 million for the same period in 2023. The decrease in NOI was primarily due to the disposition of the two hotel properties completed in March 2024. The decrease in normalized NOI was due to the same factors, and $1.9 million in business interruption proceeds related to the weather-related damage at several hotel properties in late December 2022 was included in the normalized NOI in the same period of the prior year.

NOI margin was 32.9% in the current quarter, a decrease of 60 bps compared to the same period in 2023. The decrease in NOI margin was due to higher operating expenses as a result of general cost inflation, escalated labor costs, and higher property insurance premiums in April and May 2024. Although certain operating expenses are expected to remain a challenge in 2024, the decline of year-over year NOI margin has been reduced from 270 bps in the first quarter of 2024 to 60 bps in the current quarter.

AHIP completed its property insurance renewal effective June 1, 2024 with a decrease in premiums compared to the prior period ended May 31, 2024. On an annualized basis, the decrease from the prior period is approximately $1.6 million, which will be recognized in earnings over a twelve-month period.

Diluted FFO per unit and normalized diluted FFO per unit were $0.12 and $0.10 for the second quarter of 2024, respectively, compared to diluted FFO per unit of $0.19 and normalized diluted FFO per unit of $0.14 for the same period in 2023. Normalized diluted FFO per unit in the current quarter excluded non-recurring expected insurance proceeds of $1.6 million, mainly as a result of hail damage and a fire incident in the current quarter. The decrease in normalized diluted FFO per unit was due to: (i) $1.9 million in business interruption proceeds related to the weather-related damage at several hotel properties in late December 2022 that was included in the normalized diluted FFO per unit in the same period of the prior year; (ii) lower NOI, and (iii) higher financing costs in the current quarter.

LEVERAGE AND LIQUIDITY

KPIs	Q2 2024	Q1 2024	Q4 2023	Q3 2023	Q2 2023
Debt-to-GBV (1)	52.0%	52.2%	51.9%	51.1%	51.6%
Debt-to-TTM EBITDA (1)	9.7x	10.5x	10.6x	10.1x	9.8x

________________________(1)   Non-IFRS and other financial measures. See “NON-IFRS AND OTHER FINANCIAL MEASURES” section of this news release.

Debt to gross book value as at June 30, 2024 was 52.0%, an increase of 10 bps compared to December 31, 2023. Debt to TTM EBITDA as at June 30, 2024 was 9.7x, a decrease of 0.1x compared to June 30, 2023. The improvement in Debt to TTM EBITDA was mainly due to the five hotel properties that were in managed foreclosure as of June 30, 2024.

As at June 30, 2024, AHIP had $26.7 million in available liquidity, compared to $27.8 million as at December 31, 2023. The available liquidity of $26.7 million was comprised of an unrestricted cash balance of $16.0 million and borrowing availability of $10.7 million under the revolving credit facility. AHIP has an additional restricted cash balance of $40.3 million as at June 30, 2024.

AHIP has 70.6% of its debt at fixed interest rates following the expiry of the interest rate swaps on its senior credit facility on November 30, 2023. The notional value of the interest rate swaps was $130.0 million prior to their expiry. As a result of this expiry, at the current average secured overnight financing rate (“SOFR”) of 5.3%, the incremental annual interest expense is estimated to be approximately $5.2 million for the twelve months ended November 30, 2024.

Northeast Portfolio III CMBS Loan

During the first quarter of 2024, AHIP notified the master servicer for the AHIP Northeast Portfolio III CMBS Loan (“Loan Portfolio” or “CMBS Loan”) of an imminent change in circumstances which resulted in the master servicer issuing a notice of default as well as a notice of acceleration and demand for payment on April 19, 2024.   This Loan Portfolio is secured by four hotels: a Fairfield Inn & Suites and a Hampton Inn located in White Marsh, MD, a Homewood Suites located in Egg Harbor Township, NJ and a SpringHill Suites located in Brookhaven, NY (collectively, the “Hotels” or “Assets”). On May 16, 2024, a receiver was duly appointed over the Hotels pursuant to an appointment order.

The principal amount of this non-recourse CMBS Loan as of June 30, 2024 was $51.0 million and the receiver is currently making principal and interest payments. AHIP ceased recognizing revenue and expenses, relating to the Hotels on the effective date of the appointment order. The CMBS Loan and Assets will remain on AHIP’s balance sheet until the Hotels have been transferred to or sold by the special servicer. Removal of this Loan Portfolio from Debt to TTM EBITDA contributed to the improvement in this measure in the second quarter of 2024.

CAPITAL RECYCLING

In March 2024, AHIP completed the strategic dispositions of hotel properties in Harrisonburg, Virginia and Cranberry Township, Pennsylvania for gross proceeds of $8.55 million and $8.25 million respectively. Under the terms of the credit agreement governing the revolving credit facility and certain terms loans (the “Sixth Amendment”), 50% of the net proceeds from the sale of these two hotel properties, which is 0.7 million, was used to pay down outstanding amounts under such term loans in the second quarter of 2024.

In May and June 2024, AHIP entered into agreements to dispose of three hotel properties in Ocala, Florida for gross proceeds of $33.7 million. The dispositions are currently expected to close in the third and fourth quarters of 2024.

In July and August 2024, AHIP entered into agreements to dispose of hotel properties in each of Dallas, Texas, Egg Harbor Township, New Jersey, and Corpus Christi, Texas for gross proceeds of $27.0 million, $11.1 million, and $10.3 million respectively. The dispositions are currently expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2024.

In August 2024, AHIP completed the strategic dispositions of two hotel properties in Amarillo, Texas for gross proceeds of $9.3 million and $8.3 million, respectively. Under the terms of the Sixth Amendment, 50% of the net proceeds from the sale of these two hotel properties will be used to pay down outstanding amounts under such term loans in the second half of 2024.

AHIP intends to use the net proceeds from these dispositions to pay down CMBS mortgage debt and the term loans governed by the Sixth Amendment. The combined sales price for these properties, which have been disposed or currently under agreements for dispositions in 2024, represents a blended Cap Rate of 7.4% on 2023 annual hotel EBITDA, after adjusting for an industry standard 4% furniture, fixtures, and equipment (“FF&E”) reserve. This also represents $87 thousand per key and a blended yield of 5.6% after adjusting for the expected capital expenditure requirements.

AHIP intends to continue to execute its strategy to divest assets to reduce debt and is currently marketing a selected number of additional properties which are expected to demonstrate value above the current Unit trading price.

SAME PROPERTY KPI

The following table summarizes key performance indicators (“KPIs”) for the portfolio for the five most recent quarters with a comparison to the same period in the prior year.

KPIs	Q2 2024	Q1 2024	Q4 2023	Q3 2023	Q2 2023
ADR	$136	$133	$127	$133	$134
Change compared to same period in prior year - % increase (decrease)	1.5%	(0.7%)	0.1%	3.3%	6.6%
Occupancy	75.0%	67.7%	67.2%	71.7%	74.1%
Change compared to same period in prior year - bps increase (decrease)	90	60	(124)	(209)	(102)
RevPAR	$102	$90	$86	$95	$99
Change compared to same period in prior year - % increase (decrease)	3.0%	0.2%	(1.7%)	0.3%	5.2%
NOI Margin	32.3%	28.5%	26.0%	30.3%	33.8%
Change compared to same period in prior year - bps increase (decrease)	(150)	(214)	(584)	(298)	(124)

Same property ADR in the current quarter is $136, an increase of 1.5% compared to the same period of 2023. Same property occupancy increased by 90 bps to 75.0% in the current quarter compared to the same period of 2023. The increase in ADR and occupancy is primarily attributable to higher demand for the extended stay and select service properties.

Same property NOI margin decreased by 150 bps to 32.3% for the second quarter of 2024, compared to the same period of 2023. The decrease in the same property NOI margin was due to higher operating expenses as a result of general cost inflation, escalated labor costs, and higher property insurance premiums in April and May 2024. The labor environment is improving although labor is expected to remain a challenge in 2024 with increased turnover, which impacts hotel management continuity, hiring and training expenses.

INITIATIVES TO STRENGTHEN FINANCIAL POSITION AND PRESERVE UNITHOLDER VALUE

The Board of Directors (the “Board”), together with management, have implemented a plan to strengthen AHIP’s financial position and to preserve unitholder value. Initiatives, both planned and underway, are outlined below.

PLAN TO ADDRESS NEAR TERM LOAN MATURITIES

AHIP is in the process of executing its plan to address the Company’s debt maturities in 2024. These efforts are expected to result in modest improvements in ADR, RevPAR and leverage metrics.

The commercial mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”) loan maturities were $22.3 million in the second quarter of 2024 and are $58.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2024.

To address the Q2 2024 CMBS loan maturity of $22.3 million, AHIP completed the disposition of one hotel property and refinanced the balance of the loan in March 2024, specifically:

• AHIP completed the strategic disposition of a hotel property in Harrisonburg, Virginia for $8.55 million. The net proceeds were used to partially satisfy the non-recourse mortgage debt; and
• AHIP completed the CMBS refinancing for the remaining three assets secured against this loan with gross proceeds of $17.5 million prior to initial capital reserves contribution of approximately $5.0 million. The term of this new CMBS loan is five years at a fixed annual interest rate of 7.8%.

To address the Q4 2024 CMBS loan maturities of $58.7 million, AHIP intends to dispose of properties and refinance the balance of the loan, specifically:

• In July 2024, AHIP entered into an agreement to dispose of one hotel property in Dallas, Texas for gross proceeds of $27.0 million.
• In August 2024, AHIP completed the strategic dispositions of two hotel properties in Amarillo, Texas for gross proceeds of $9.3 million and $8.3 million, respectively. Under the terms of the Sixth Amendment, 50% of the net proceeds from the sale of these two hotel properties will be used to pay down outstanding amounts under such term loans in the second half of 2024.
• In addition, AHIP is currently in the process of refinancing and marketing hotel properties in Florida and North Carolina before the loan maturity dates in the fourth quarter of 2024.

AMENDMENT OF THE MASTER HOTEL MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT WITH REDUCED AND DEFERRED FEES

On September 30, 2023, with a retroactive effective date of July 1, 2023, AHIP entered into a third amendment to its master hotel management agreement with One Lodging Management LLC (an affiliate of Aimbridge Hospitality LLC) (the “Amendment”), with an estimated annual savings for the first three years following the amendment of approximately $3.7 million.

In accordance with the Amendment, the management fee on certain hotel properties has been reduced or deferred. The reduction of management fees is estimated to provide approximately $0.3 million of cash savings per annum, and the deferral of management fees is estimated to provide approximately $3.4 million of cash savings on average per annum from July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2026. The fees in the years 2027 through 2032 will be slightly higher to offset the fee deferral in the first three years. The cash savings in the second quarter of 2024 were $0.9 million, and the cumulative savings in the first year after the Amendment were $3.9 million.

TEMPORARY SUSPENSION OF U.S. DOLLAR DISTRIBUTION

From February 2022 to October 2023, AHIP’s distribution policy provided for the payment of regular monthly U.S. dollar distributions at an annual rate of $0.18 per unit (monthly rate of $0.015 per unit). On November 7, 2023, AHIP announced a temporary suspension of monthly distributions. The Board and management made this decision based on the considerations of recent and forecast operating results, industry and economic conditions, interest rates for debt refinancing, the general financing environment, and future compliance with the adjusted FFO payout ratio covenant in the Sixth Amendment.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

This news release should be read in conjunction with AHIP’s unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements, and management’s discussion and analysis for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, that are available on AHIP’s website at www.ahipreit.com, and under AHIP’s profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.com.

Q2 2024 CONFERENCE CALL

Management will host a webcast and conference call at 10:00 a.m. Pacific time on Wednesday, August 7, 2024, to discuss the financial and operational results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.

NON-IFRS AND OTHER FINANCIAL MEASURESManagement believes the following non-IFRS financial measures, non-IFRS ratios, capital management measures and supplementary financial measures are relevant measures to monitor and evaluate AHIP’s financial and operating performance. These measures and ratios do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. These measures and ratios are included to provide investors and management additional information and alternative methods for assessing AHIP’s financial and operating results and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for performance measures prepared in accordance with IFRS.

NON-IFRS FINANCIAL MEASURES:

FFO: FFO measures operating performance and is calculated in accordance with Real Property Association of Canada’s (“REALPAC”) definition. FFO – basic is calculated by adjusting loss and comprehensive income (loss) for depreciation and amortization, gain or loss on disposal of property, IFRIC 21 property taxes, fair value gain or loss, impairment of property, deferred income tax, and other applicable items. FFO – diluted is calculated as FFO – basic plus the interest, accretion, and amortization on convertible debentures if convertible debentures are dilutive. The most comparable IFRS measure to FFO is income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss), for which a reconciliation is provided in this news release.

AFFO: AFFO is defined as a recurring economic earnings measure and calculated in accordance with REALPAC’s definition. AFFO – basic is calculated as FFO – basic less maintenance capital expenditures. AFFO – diluted is calculated as FFO – diluted less maintenance capital expenditures. The most comparable IFRS measure to AFFO is income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss), for which a reconciliation is provided in this news release.

Normalized FFO: calculated as FFO adjusting for non-recurring items. For the three months ended June 30, 2024, normalized FFO is calculated as FFO excluding the non-recurring insurance proceeds of $1.6 million for property damage incurred in the second quarter of 2024. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, normalized FFO is calculated as FFO excluding the non-recurring insurance proceeds of $1.6 million for property damage incurred in the second quarter of 2024, and $1.1 million for property damage related to the weather-related damage at several hotel properties in late December 2022. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, normalized FFO is calculated as FFO excluding the non-recurring insurance proceeds of $4.1 million and $7.5 million, respectively, for property damage related to the weather-related damage at several hotel properties in late December 2022. The most comparable IFRS measure to normalized FFO is income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss), for which a reconciliation is provided in this news release.

Normalized NOI: calculated as NOI adjusting for non-recurring items. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, normalized NOI included the non-recurring insurance proceeds of nil and $0.1 million, respectively, for business interruption claims related to the weather-related damage at several hotel properties in late December 2022. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, normalized NOI included the non-recurring insurance proceeds of $1.9 million and $2.9 million respectively, for business interruption claims related to the weather-related damage at several hotel properties in late December 2022. The most comparable IFRS measure to normalized NOI is NOI, for which a reconciliation is provided in this news release.

Hotel EBITDA: calculated by adjusting NOI for management fees for hotel. The most comparable IFRS measure to hotel EBITDA is NOI, for which a reconciliation is provided in this news release.

EBITDA: calculated by adjusting NOI for management fees for hotel and general administrative expenses. The sum of management fees for hotel and general administrative expenses is equal to corporate and administrative expenses in the Financial Statements. The most comparable IFRS measure to EBITDA is NOI, for which a reconciliation is provided in this news release.

Debt: calculated as the sum of term loans and revolving credit facility, the face value of convertible debentures, unamortized portion of debt financing costs, lease liabilities and unamortized portion of mark-to-market adjustments. The most comparable IFRS measure to debt is total liabilities, for which a reconciliation is provided in this news release.

Gross book value: calculated as the sum of total assets, accumulated depreciation and impairment on property, buildings and equipment, and accumulated amortization on intangible assets. The most comparable IFRS measure to gross book value is total assets, for which a reconciliation is provided in this news release.

Interest expense: calculated by adjusting finance costs for gain/loss on debt settlement, amortization of debt financing costs, accretion of debenture liability, amortization of debenture costs, dividends on series B preferred shares and amortization of mark-to-market adjustments, accretion of management fee because interest expense excludes certain non-cash accounting items and dividends on preferred shares. The most comparable IFRS measure to interest expense is finance costs, for which a reconciliation is provided in this news release.

NON-IFRS RATIOS:

FFO per unit – basic/diluted: calculated as FFO – basic/diluted divided by weighted average number of units outstanding - basic/diluted respectively for the reporting periods.

Normalized FFO per unit – basic/diluted: calculated as normalized FFO – basic/diluted divided by weighted average number of units outstanding - basic/diluted respectively for the reporting periods.

AFFO per unit – basic/diluted: calculated as AFFO – basic/diluted divided by weighted average number of units outstanding - basic/diluted respectively for the reporting periods.

NOI margin: calculated as NOI divided by total revenue.

Hotel EBITDA margin: calculated as hotel EBITDA divided by total revenue.

EBITDA margin: calculated as EBITDA divided by total revenue.

Capitalization rate (“Cap Rate”): calculated as 2023 annual hotel EBITDA, after adjusting for an industry standard 4% FF&E reserve, divided by the actual and expected gross proceeds of the asset dispositions.

CAPITAL MANAGEMENT MEASURES:

Debt to gross book value: calculated as debt divided by gross book value. Debt to gross book value is a primary measure of capital management and leverage.

Debt to TTM EBITDA: calculated as debt divided by the trailing twelve months (“TTM”) of EBITDA. Debt to EBITDA measures the amount of income generated and available to pay down debt before covering interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization expenses. In Q2 2024, debt to TTM EBITDA calculation excluded five hotels in respect of which AHIP is in managed foreclosure as of June 30, 2024.

Interest coverage ratio: calculated as TTM EBITDA divided by interest expense for the trailing twelve months. The interest coverage ratio is a measure of AHIP’s ability to service the interest requirements of its outstanding debt. In Q2 2024, interest coverage ratio calculation excluded five hotels in respect of which AHIP is in managed foreclosure as of June 30, 2024.

SUPPLEMENTARY FINANCIAL MEASURES:

Occupancy is a major driver of room revenue as well as food and beverage revenues. Fluctuations in occupancy are normally accompanied by fluctuations in most categories of variable hotel operating expenses, including housekeeping and other labor costs. Higher ADR increases room revenue with limited impact on hotel operating expenses. Increase in RevPAR attributable to increase in occupancy may reduce EBITDA and EBITDA margins, while increase in RevPAR attributable to increase in ADR typically result in increases in EBITDA and EBITDA margins.

Occupancy: calculated as total number of hotel rooms sold divided by total number of rooms available for the reporting periods. Occupancy is a metric commonly used in the hotel industry to measure the utilization of hotels’ available capacity.

Average daily rate (“ADR”): calculated as total room revenue divided by total number of rooms sold for the reporting periods. ADR is a metric commonly used in the hotel industry to indicate the average revenue earned per occupied room in a given time period.

Revenue per available room (“RevPAR”): calculated as occupancy multiplied by ADR for the reporting periods.

Same property occupancy, ADR, RevPAR, revenue, expense, NOI and NOI margin: measured for properties owned by AHIP for both the current reporting periods and the same periods in 2023. In Q1 2024 and Q2 2024, the same property ADR, occupancy, RevPAR and NOI margin calculations excluded seven hotel properties, which is comprised of five hotels in respect of which AHIP is in managed foreclosure as of June 30, 2024, as well as the Residence Inn Neptune and Courtyard Wall in New Jersey as these two hotels had limited availability due to remediation and rebuilding after the weather-related damage in late December 2022. In Q1 2023 and Q2 2023, the same property ADR, occupancy, RevPAR and NOI margin calculations excluded the same seven hotel properties mentioned in the immediately preceding sentence for comparison purposes. In Q3 2023 and Q4 2023, the same property ADR, occupancy, RevPAR and NOI margin calculations excluded five hotels in respect of which AHIP is in managed foreclosure as of June 30, 2024.
