RLJ Lodging Trust (the "Company") (NYSE:RLJ) today reported results for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

Highlights

Portfolio Comparable RevPAR of $141.23; an increase of 1.6% over the prior year
Total Revenues of $328.1 million
Net Income of $3.2 million
Comparable Hotel EBITDA of $85.3 million

Recycled proceeds from asset sale to repurchase 2.7 million shares for approximately $24.3 million
Addressed all 2025 debt maturities and fully paid down our revolver following recent term loan refinancing

"We are pleased with our solid first quarter results which exceeded our expectations and were driven by our robust performance in urban markets and our strong momentum from conversions. Our ability to drive rate in this environment and control costs allowed us to exceed our EBITDA outlook. Additionally, we successfully recycled capital from disposition proceeds towards accretive share repurchases and further strengthened our balance sheet as we addressed all near-term debt maturities," commented Leslie D. Hale, President and Chief Executive Officer. "The heightened macroeconomic uncertainty has tempered our near-term view on fundamentals. Therefore, we are updating our outlook to reflect the current environment, which we assume will persist for the remainder of the year. Relative to this backdrop, we are well-positioned to navigate this choppy environment given our diversified urban-centric portfolio, our lean operating model and a favorable capital structure."

The prefix "comparable" as defined by the Company, denotes operating results which include results for periods prior to its ownership and excludes sold hotels. 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.

Disposition

During the first quarter of 2025, the Company sold the 181-room Courtyard Atlanta Buckhead for $24.3 million, reflecting a 18.0x multiple based on projected 2025 Hotel EBITDA. The Company recorded a gain on the sale of $1.3 million.

Share Repurchases

During the first quarter, the Company repurchased 2.3 million common shares for approximately $21.3 million at an average price of $9.28. Year-to-date, the Company has repurchased 2.7 million common shares for approximately $24.3 million at an average price of $8.91. In April, the Company's Board of Trustees approved the 2025 share repurchase program to acquire up to an aggregate of $250.0 million of common and preferred shares.

Balance Sheet

As of March 31, 2025, the Company had approximately $847.5 million of total liquidity, comprised of approximately $347.5 million of unrestricted cash and $500.0 million available under its revolving credit facility (the "Revolver"), and $2.2 billion of debt outstanding.

In April 2025, the Company refinanced its $200.0 million term loan maturing in 2026, upsizing it to $300.0 million and extending the initial maturity to April 2030, inclusive of extension options. Borrowings under the amended term loan bear interest at a variable rate under the same pricing grid as the original loan. The Company utilized the incremental $100.0 million of proceeds to repay the outstanding balance on the Revolver. Additionally, the Company exercised the extension options on $181.0 million in mortgage loans to extend the maturities.

Dividends

The Company's Board of Trustees declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.15 per common share of beneficial interest of the Company in the first quarter. The dividend was paid on April 15, 2025 to shareholders of record as of March 31, 2025.

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 may be redeemed 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 expense) 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 outside the normal course of operations. 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, are beneficial to an investor's understanding of the Company's 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 tax expense or benefit, and non-cash interest 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.

Comparable Hotel EBITDA and Comparable Hotel EBITDA margin include prior ownership information provided by the sellers of the hotels for periods prior to our acquisition of the hotels and excludes results from sold hotels as applicable.

Comparable adjustments: Acquired hotel

For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, Comparable adjustments included the following acquired hotel:

Hotel Teatro acquired in June 2024

Comparable adjustments: Sold hotels

For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, Comparable adjustments included the following sold hotels:
