Changes in RevPAR were driven by an increase in the average daily rate (“ADR”) to $180.05 for the three months ended December 31, 2022, from $162.00 for the comparable period in 2021 and by an increase in occupancy to 56.5% from 53.0% in the comparable 2021 period. However, while ADR for the three months ended December 31, 2022, was 15.7% higher than ADR for the comparable period in 2019, occupancy for the three months ended December 31, 2022, was still 9.2% below the 65.7% occupancy achieved during the comparable 2019 period.

    • Hotel EBITDA. The Company increased production of hotel EBITDA to approximately $11.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022, from approximately $8.1 million during the comparable period in 2021.

    • Preferred Dividends. The Company has reinstated payment of quarterly dividends on its preferred stock. On January 24, 2023 the Company announced a quarterly cash dividend of $0.50 per share of beneficial interest of the Company’s 8.0% Series B Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Stock; a quarterly cash dividend of $0.4921875 per share of beneficial interest of the Company’s 7.875% Series C Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Stock; and a quarterly cash dividend of $0.515625 per share of beneficial interest of the Company’s 8.25% Series D Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Stock. Each of the Series B, Series C and Series D preferred dividends will be paid on March 15, 2023 to shareholders of record as of February 28, 2023.

    • Common Dividends. As approved by its Board of Directors, the Company has suspended its regular quarterly cash dividend in order to preserve liquidity. Accordingly, the Company did not pay a dividend on its common stock and common units for the quarter ended December 31, 2022. The Board of Directors will continue to monitor the situation and assess future quarterly common dividend declarations. Per the terms of the Company’s preferred stock, the Company cannot make any common dividend payments unless full cumulative distributions have been declared and paid for past distribution periods for each series of preferred stock.

    Dave Folsom, President and Chief Executive Officer of Sotherly Hotels Inc., commented, "The results of Sotherly’s fourth quarter helped cap a very good year for the Company. Fourth quarter hotel EBITDA finished at $11.9 million, which was a 46.8% increase over Q4 2021 and eclipsed Q4 2019 by 28.2%. Adjusted FFO for Q4 2022 finished at $0.41 per share, compared to the prior year’s deficit of $0.08 per share. As we saw throughout 2022, ADR continued to outperform the prior year and 2019: Q4 ADR for our wholly owned hotels exceeded prior year by 15.4% and exceeded Q4 2019 by 16.5%. Occupancy increased from 54.1% in Q4 2021 to 58.0% in Q4 2022 but lagged occupancy of 67.5% in Q4 2019. Our group booking pace continues to improve. Our current pace is 46.9% ahead of the same time last year, and group ADR continues to grow. Business travel continues to layer into our revenues, especially in our urban markets. The strength of our booking pace has yet to be impacted by any material slow down or evidence of an impending recession. Further, we recently announced the resumption of dividends on our preferred stock, which demonstrates the Company’s ongoing recovery. We were very happy with 2022 results."

    Balance Sheet/Liquidity

    As of December 31, 2022, the Company had approximately $27.3 million of available cash and cash equivalents, of which approximately $5.4 million was reserved for real estate taxes, insurance, capital improvements and certain other expenses or otherwise restricted.

The ten wholly-owned properties in the portfolio that were under the Company’s control during the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2022 and the corresponding periods in 2021 and 2019 are considered same-store properties (“same-store” portfolio metrics). Accordingly, the same-store data does not reflect the performances of the Sheraton Louisville Riverside which was sold in February 2022, or the DoubleTree by Hilton Raleigh-Brownstone University which was sold in June 2022. The composite portfolio metrics represent the Company’s wholly-owned properties and the participating condominium hotel rooms at the Hyde Resort & Residences and the Hyde Beach House Resort & Residences, during the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2022 and the corresponding periods in 2021 and 2019. The same-store (composite) portfolio metrics includes all properties with the exceptions of the Sheraton Louisville Riverside, DoubleTree by Hilton Raleigh-Brownstone University and the Hyde Beach House Resort & Residences, during the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2022 and the corresponding periods in 2021 and 2019.

    Non-GAAP Financial Measures

    The Company considers the non-GAAP financial measures of FFO (including FFO per share), Adjusted FFO (including Adjusted FFO per share), EBITDA and hotel EBITDA to be key supplemental measures of the Company’s performance and could be considered along with, not alternatives to, net income (loss) as a measure of the Company’s performance. These measures do not represent cash generated from operating activities determined by generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) or amounts available for the Company’s discretionary use and should not be considered alternative measures of net income, cash flows from operations or any other operating performance measure prescribed by GAAP.

    FFO

    Industry analysts and investors use Funds from Operations (“FFO”), as a supplemental operating performance measure of an equity REIT. FFO is calculated in accordance with the definition adopted by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”). FFO, as defined by NAREIT, represents net income or loss determined in accordance with GAAP, excluding extraordinary items as defined under GAAP and gains or losses from sales of previously depreciated operating real estate assets, gains or losses from involuntary conversions of assets, plus certain non-cash items such as real estate asset depreciation and amortization or impairment, stock compensation costs and after adjustment for any noncontrolling interest from unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with GAAP 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, many investors and analysts have considered the presentation of operating results for real estate companies that use historical cost accounting to be insufficient by itself.

    The Company considers FFO to be a useful measure of adjusted net income (loss) for reviewing comparative operating and financial performance because we believe FFO is most directly comparable to net income (loss), which remains the primary measure of performance, because by excluding gains or losses related to sales of previously depreciated operating real estate assets and excluding real estate asset depreciation and amortization, FFO assists in comparing the operating performance of a company’s real estate between periods or as compared to different companies. Although FFO is intended to be a REIT industry standard, other companies may not calculate FFO in the same manner as we do, and investors should not assume that FFO as reported by us is comparable to FFO as reported by other REITs.

    Adjusted FFO

    The Company presents adjusted FFO, including adjusted FFO per share and unit, which adjusts for certain additional items that are not in NAREIT’s definition of FFO including changes in deferred income taxes, any unrealized gain (loss) on hedging instruments or warrant derivatives, loan impairment losses, losses on early extinguishment of debt, gains on extinguishment of preferred stock, aborted offering costs, loan modification fees, franchise termination costs, costs associated with the departure of executive officers, litigation settlement, over-assessed real estate taxes on appeal, management contract termination costs, operating asset depreciation and amortization, change in control gains or losses, ESOP and stock compensation expenses and acquisition transaction costs. We exclude these items as we believe it allows for meaningful comparisons between periods and among other REITs and is more indicative than FFO of the on-going performance of our business and assets. Our calculation of adjusted FFO may be different from similar measures calculated by other REITs.

    EBITDA

    The Company believes that excluding the effect of non-operating expenses and non-cash charges, and the portion of those items related to unconsolidated entities, all of which are also based on historical cost accounting and may be of limited significance in evaluating current performance, can help eliminate the accounting effects of depreciation and financing decisions and facilitate comparisons of core operating profitability between periods and between REITs, even though EBITDA also does not represent an amount that accrued directly to shareholders.

    Hotel EBITDA

    The Company defines hotel EBITDA as net income or loss excluding: (1) interest expense, (2) interest income, (3) income tax provision or benefit, (4) depreciation and amortization, (5) impairment of long-lived assets or investments, (6) gains and losses on disposal and/or sale of assets, (7) gains and losses on involuntary conversions of assets, (8) unrealized gains and losses on derivative instruments not included in other comprehensive income, (9) loss on early debt extinguishment, (10) Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) debt forgiveness, (11) gain on exercise of development right, (12) corporate general and administrative expense, and (13) other operating revenue not related to our wholly-owned portfolio. We believe this provides a more complete understanding of the operating results over which our wholly-owned hotels and its operators have direct control. We believe hotel EBITDA provides investors with supplemental information on the on-going operational performance of our hotels and the effectiveness of third-party management companies operating our business on a property-level basis. The Company’s calculation of hotel EBITDA may be different from similar measures calculated by other REITs.
