Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Organization

Organization

Chatham Lodging Trust (“we,” “us” or the “Company”) was formed as a Maryland real estate investment trust (“REIT”) on October 26, 2009. The Company is internally-managed and invests primarily in upscale extended-stay and premium-branded select-service hotels.

In January 2014, the Company established an At the Market Equity Offering ("Prior ATM Plan") whereby, from time to time, we may publicly offer and sell our common shares having an aggregate maximum offering price of up to $50 million by means of ordinary brokers’ transactions on the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE"), in negotiated transactions or in transactions that are deemed to be “at the market” offerings as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933. The Company filed a $100 million registration statement for a new ATM program (the "ATM Plan" and together with the Prior ATM Plan, the "ATM Plans") on December 28, 2017 to replace the prior program. At the same time, the Company entered into sales agreements with Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. ("Cantor"), Barclays Capital Inc. (“Barclays”), Robert W. Baird & Co. Incorporated, ("Baird"), Citigroup Global Markets Inc. ("Citigroup"), Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated ("Stifel") and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC ("Wells Fargo") as sales agents. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, we issued no shares under the ATM Plan. As of June 30, 2020, there was approximately $90.4 million available for issuance under the ATM Plan.

In January 2014, the Company established a $25 million dividend reinvestment and stock purchase plan (the "Prior DRSPP"). We filed a new $50 million shelf registration statement for the dividend reinvestment and stock purchase plan (the "New DRSPP" and together with the Prior DRSPP, the "DRSPPs") on December 28, 2017 to replace the prior program. Under the DRSPPs, shareholders may purchase additional common shares by reinvesting some or all of the cash dividends received on the Company's common shares. Shareholders may also make optional cash purchases of the Company's common shares subject to certain limitations detailed in the prospectus for the DRSPPs. During the three months ended June 30, 2020, we issued 5,438 shares under the New DRSPP at a weighted average price of $6.54, which generated $35.6 thousand of proceeds. As of June 30, 2020, there was approximately $27.7 million available for issuance under the New DRSPP.

The net proceeds from any share offerings or issuances are contributed to Chatham Lodging, L.P., our operating partnership (the “Operating Partnership”), in exchange for partnership interests. Substantially all of the Company’s assets are held by, and all operations are conducted through, the Operating Partnership. Chatham Lodging Trust is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership and owns 100.0% of the common units of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership. Certain of the Company’s executive officers hold vested and unvested long-term incentive plan units in the Operating Partnership ("LTIP units"), which are presented as non-controlling interests on our consolidated balance sheets.

As of June 30, 2020, the Company wholly owned 40 hotels with an aggregate of 6,092 rooms located in 15 states and the District of Columbia. As of June 30, 2020, the Company also (i) held a 10.3% noncontrolling interest in a joint venture (the “NewINK JV”) with affiliates of Colony Capital, Inc. ("CLNY"), which currently owns 46 hotels acquired from a joint venture (the "Innkeepers JV") between the Company and Cerberus Capital Management ("Cerberus"), comprising 5,948 rooms and (ii) held a 10% noncontrolling interest in a separate joint venture (the "Inland JV") with CLNY, which owns 48 hotels acquired from Inland American Real Estate Trust, Inc. ("Inland"), comprising an aggregate of 6,402 rooms. We sometimes use the term "JVs", which refers collectively to the NewINK JV and Inland JV.

To qualify as a REIT, the Company cannot operate the hotels. Therefore, the Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries lease the Company's wholly owned hotels to taxable REIT subsidiary lessees (“TRS Lessees”), which are wholly owned by the Company’s taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”) holding company. The Company indirectly (i) owns its 10.3% interest in the 46 NewINK JV hotels and (ii) owns its 10% interest in the 48 Inland JV hotels through the Operating Partnership. All of the NewINK JV hotels and Inland JV hotels are leased to TRS Lessees, in which the Company indirectly owns noncontrolling interests through its TRS holding company. Each hotel is leased to a TRS Lessee under a percentage lease that provides for rental payments equal to the greater of (i) a fixed base rent amount or (ii) a percentage rent based on hotel revenue. The initial term of each of the TRS leases is 5 years. Lease revenue from each TRS Lessee is eliminated in consolidation.

Table of Contents

The TRS Lessees have entered into management agreements with third-party management companies that provide day-to-day management for the hotels. As of June 30, 2020, Island Hospitality Management LLC (“IHM”), which is 52.5% owned by Jeffrey H. Fisher, the Company's Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, managed all 40 of the Company’s wholly owned hotels. As of June 30, 2020, all of the NewINK JV hotels were managed by IHM. As of June 30, 2020, 34 of the Inland JV hotels were managed by IHM and 14 of the Inland JV hotels were managed by Marriott International, Inc. ("Marriott").

Liquidity

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the effects of travel restrictions both globally and in the United States, the hospitality industry has experienced drastic drops in demand. We believe the ongoing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on our operations have had, and will continue to have, a material negative impact on our financial results and cash flows, and such negative impact may continue beyond the containment of the pandemic. On May 6, 2020, we amended our credit facility to suspend financial covenants through March 31, 2021 and provide access to the entire $250 million facility size. We have also taken additional measures to improve our liquidity, including reducing operating expenses, deferring capital expenditures, and suspending dividends. Based on the successful amendment of our credit facility and the steps we have taken to reduce hotel operating costs, delay capital expenditures and suspend dividends, we believe that we have sufficient liquidity to satisfy our obligations for the foreseeable future.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and in conformity with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) applicable to interim financial information. These unaudited consolidated financial statements, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments consisting of normal, recurring adjustments which are considered necessary for a fair statement of the consolidated balance sheets, consolidated statements of operations, consolidated statements of equity, and consolidated statements of cash flows for the periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of full year performance due to seasonal and other factors, including the timing of the acquisition or sale of hotels.

The consolidated financial statements include all of the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP, and the related notes thereto as of December 31, 2019, which are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Recently Adopted Accounting Policies

On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted accounting guidance under Accounting Standards Codification (ASU) 2016-02 (“ASU 2016-02”), Leases, which relates to the accounting for leasing transactions. On February 25, 2016, the FASB issued updated accounting guidance which sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both parties to a contract (i.e., lessees and lessors). The new accounting guidance requires lessees to apply a dual approach, classifying leases as either finance or operating leases based on whether or not the lease is effectively a financed purchase by the lessee. The classification of the lease will determine whether lease expense is recognized based on an effective interest method or on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. A lessee is also required to record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases. We adopted the new accounting guidance on January 1, 2019 and applied it based on the optional transition method provided for, which allows entities to recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the balance sheet on the adoption date. Upon adoption, we applied the package of practical expedients made available under the new accounting guidance and also make an accounting policy election to not recognize right-of-use assets or lease liabilities for leases with terms of 12 months or less. For our ground lease agreements and corporate office lease agreement, all of which are currently

accounted for as operating leases, we recognized lease liabilities of $25.7 million with corresponding right-of use assets of $23.1 million our consolidated balance sheet as of January 1, 2019.

3. Disposition of Hotel Properties

On May 7, 2019, the Company sold the Courtyard by Marriott hotel in Altoona, PA for $4.6 million and recognized a loss on the sale of the hotel property of $4.4 million. On May 15, 2019, the Company sold the SpringHill Suites by Marriott hotel in Washington, PA for $5.1 million and recognized a gain on the sale of the hotel property of $1.1 million. Proceeds from the sales were used to repay amounts outstanding on the Company's revolving credit facility. These sales did not represent a strategic shift that had or will have a major effect on the Company's operations and financial results and did not qualify to be reported as discontinued operations.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company's consolidated statements of operations included operating income related to the disposed hotels as follows (in thousands):

4. Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts at a level believed to be adequate to absorb estimated probable losses. That estimate is based on past loss experience, current economic and market conditions and other relevant factors. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $0.4 million and $0.5 million as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

6. Investment in Unconsolidated Entities

On June 9, 2014, the Company acquired a 10.3% interest in the NewINK JV, a joint venture between affiliates of NorthStar Realty Finance Corp. ("NorthStar") and the Operating Partnership. The Company accounts for this investment under the equity method. NorthStar merged with Colony Capital, Inc. ("Colony") on January 10, 2017 to form a new company, CLNY, which owns a 89.7% interest in the NewINK JV. The value of NewINK JV assets and liabilities were adjusted to reflect estimated fair market value at the time Colony merged with NorthStar. As of June 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company’s share of partners’ capital in the NewINK JV was approximately $5.2 million and $46.4 million, respectively, and the total difference between the carrying amount of investment and the Company’s share of partners’ capital was approximately $23.0 million and $56.5 million, respectively, (for which the basis difference related to amortizing assets is being recognized over the life of the related assets as a basis difference adjustment). The Company offset approximately $32.2 million of its share of the NewINK JV's impairment loss in the current period by its remaining basis difference in the NewINK JV. The Company serves as managing member of the NewINK JV. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company received cash distributions from the NewINK JV as follows (in thousands):


	For the three months ended						For the six months ended

On November 17, 2014, the Company acquired a 10.0% interest in the Inland JV, a joint venture between affiliates of NorthStar and the Operating Partnership. The Company accounts for this investment under the equity method. NorthStar merged with Colony on January 10, 2017 to form a new company, CLNY, which owns a 90% interest in the Inland JV. The value of Inland JV assets and liabilities were adjusted to reflect estimated fair market value at the time Colony merged with NorthStar. The Company serves as managing member of the Inland JV. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company received no cash distributions from the Inland JV.

On May 9, 2017, the NewINK JV refinanced the $840.0 million loan collateralized by the 47 hotels then owned with a new $850.0 million loan with an interest at a rate of LIBOR plus a spread of 2.79%, an initial maturity date of June 7, 2019 and three one-year extension options. The NewINK JV exercised the first extension and the maturity was extended to June 7, 2020. On November 7, 2019, the NewINK JV refinanced the $850.0 million loan with a new $855.0 million non-recourse loan from Morgan Stanley Bank, N.A., JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association, and Bank of America, N.A. (collectively the "Lender"), collateralized by the then owned 46 hotels. The new loan bears interest at a rate of LIBOR plus a spread of 2.82%, has an initial maturity of November 7, 2021 and five one-year extension options.

On April 7, 2020 and May 7, 2020, the NewINK JV failed to make debt service payments related to its $855.0 million loan. The servicer and lender subsequently agreed to fund the April 7, 2020 and May 7, 2020 interest payments for the senior portion of the loan from restricted cash balances that were originally escrowed to fund future capital expenditures. The NewINK JV made the debt payment due to senior lenders on June, 7, 2020 but has not made the debt payment due to senior lenders on July 7, 2020. The NewINK JV did not make the interest payment due to mezzanine lenders on April 7, 2020 and has not made any of the subsequent monthly interest payments due to mezzanine lenders. The failure to make the required debt service payments is an event of default under the NewINK loan agreement and could result in a foreclosure by the lender. The NewINK JV is attempting to negotiate a forbearance agreement with the lender but cannot provide any assurance that such an agreement will be reached. The NewINK JV debt is non-recourse to Chatham with the exception of customary non-recourse carve-out provisions such as fraud, material and intentional misrepresentations and misapplication of funds. A default under the NewINK loan agreement does not trigger a cross-default under any of Chatham’s debt agreements.

On June 9, 2017, the Inland JV refinanced the $817.0 million loan collateralized by the 48 hotels with a new $780.0 million non-recourse loan with Column Financial, Inc. On June 9, 2017, the Company contributed an additional $5.0 million of capital related to its share in the Inland JV to reduce the debt collateralized by the 48 hotels. The new loan bears interest at a rate of LIBOR plus a spread of 3.3%, had an initial maturity date of July 9, 2019 and three one-year extension options. The Inland JV exercised the first extension and the maturity was extended to July 9, 2020.

Table of Contents

On April 9, 2020 the Inland JV failed to make a debt service payment related to its $780.0 million loan and has not made any of its subsequent monthly debt service payments. The failure to make the required debt service payments is an event of default under the Inland loan agreement. The Inland JV has not been successful in negotiating a forbearance agreement with its lenders. The Inland JV debt is non-recourse to Chatham with the exception of customary non-recourse carve-out provisions such as fraud, material and intentional misrepresentations and misapplication of funds. A default under the Inland JV loan agreement does not trigger a cross-default under any of Chatham’s debt agreements.

The Company’s ownership interests in the JVs are subject to change in the event that either the Company or CLNY calls for additional capital contributions to the respective JVs necessary for the conduct of business, including contributions to fund costs and expenses related to capital expenditures. In connection with (i) the non-recourse mortgage loan secured by the NewINK JV properties and the related non-recourse mezzanine loan secured by the membership interests in the owners of the NewINK JV properties and (ii) the non-recourse mortgage loan secured by the Inland JV properties, the Operating Partnership provided the applicable lenders with customary environmental indemnities, as well as guarantees of certain customary non-recourse carve-out provisions such as fraud, material and intentional misrepresentations and misapplication of funds. In some circumstances, such as the bankruptcy of the applicable borrowers, the guarantees are for the full amount of the outstanding debt, but in most circumstances, the guarantees are capped at 15% of the debt outstanding at the time in question (in the case of the NewINK JV loans) or 20% of the debt outstanding at the time in question (in the case of the Inland JV loans). In connection with each of the NewINK JV and Inland JV loans, the Operating Partnership has entered into a contribution agreement with its JV partner whereby the JV partner is, in most cases, responsible to cover such JV partner’s pro rata share of any amounts due by the Operating Partnership under the applicable guarantees and environmental indemnities. The Company manages the JVs and will receive a promote interest in each applicable JV if it meets certain return thresholds for such JV. CLNY may also approve certain actions by the JVs without the Company’s consent, including certain property dispositions conducted at arm’s length, certain actions related to the restructuring of the applicable JV and removal of the Company as managing member in the event the Company fails to fulfill its material obligations under the applicable joint venture agreement.

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company determined that an other than temporary decline in the value of its equity investment in the Inland JV had occurred. The Inland JV’s operating performance has been significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The Inland JV has high leverage, limited liquidity and limited ability to fund the current level of operating losses caused by the COVID-19 pandemic for a sustained period of time. Based on these factors, we have assessed that the fair market value of our equity investment in the Inland JV is $0 and the Company did not consider the investment recoverable and therefore recorded an impairment of $15.3 million on the investment. Since the Company’s basis in the Inland JV is now $0 and we expect that ongoing losses are not sustainable, we stopped recording any equity income or losses from the Inland JV as of March 31, 2020.

The Company's recorded investments in the NewINK JV and the Inland JV were $(17.8) million and $0.0 million, respectively, at June 30, 2020. The following table sets forth the combined components of net loss, including the Company’s share, related to all JVs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 (in thousands):

(1)The interest rate for the revolving credit facility is variable and based on LIBOR (subject to a 0.5% floor) plus a spread of 2.5% if borrowings remain at or below $200 million and a spread of 3.0% if borrowings exceed $200 million.

At June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had $173.0 million and $90.0 million, respectively, of outstanding borrowings under its $250.0 million revolving credit facility.

The Company estimates the fair value of its fixed rate debt by discounting the future cash flows of each instrument at estimated market rates. All of the Company's mortgage loans are fixed-rate. Rates take into consideration general market conditions, quality and estimated value of collateral and maturity of debt with similar credit terms and are classified within level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The estimated fair value of the Company’s fixed rate debt as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 was $479.5 million and $501.5 million, respectively.

The Company estimates the fair value of its variable rate debt by taking into account general market conditions and the estimated credit terms it could obtain for debt with similar maturity and is classified within level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. As of June 30, 2020, the Company’s only variable rate debt is under its revolving credit facility. The estimated fair value of the Company’s variable rate debt as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 was $173.0 million and $90.0 million, respectively.

On May 6, 2020, the company amended its credit facility to provide it with certain relief from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. The amendment provides for the waiver of certain financial covenants through March 31, 2021 and allows Chatham to borrow up to the entire $250 million facility size during this period. During this covenant waiver period, Chatham will be required to maintain a minimum liquidity of $25 million which will include both unrestricted cash and credit facility availability. In connection with the amendment, Chatham added six hotels to the credit facility’s borrowing base which now has a total of 18 properties. The amendment provided Chatham’s credit facility lenders with pledges of the equity in the 18 borrowing base hotels. The amendment places additional limits on Chatham’s ability to incur debt, pay dividends, and make capital expenditures during the covenant waiver period. During the covenant waiver period interest will be calculated as LIBOR (subject to a 0.5% floor) plus a spread of 2.5% if borrowings remain at or below $200 million and a spread of 3.0% if borrowings exceed $200 million. As of June 30, 2020, the Company was in compliance with all of its modified financial covenants.

Future scheduled principal payments of debt obligations as of June 30, 2020, for the current year and each of the next five calendar years and thereafter are as follows (in thousands):

8. Income Taxes

The Company’s TRS is subject to federal and state income taxes. Income tax expense was zero for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 and zero for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019

As of each reporting date, the Company's management considers new evidence, both positive and negative, that could impact management's view with regard to future realization of deferred tax assets. The Company's TRS is expecting continued taxable losses in 2020. As of June 30, 2020, the TRS continues to recognize a full valuation allowance equal to 100% of the net deferred tax assets, with the exception of the AMT tax credit, due to the uncertainty of the TRS's ability to utilize these net deferred tax assets. Management will continue to monitor the need for a valuation allowance.

During the third quarter of 2018, the Company was notified that the tax return of the Company's TRS was going to be examined by the Internal Revenue Service for the tax year ended December 31, 2016. The examination remains open. The Company believes it does not need to record a liability related to matters contained in the tax period open to examination. However, should the Company experience an unfavorable outcome in the matter, such outcome could have a material impact on its results of operations, financial position and cash flows.

9. Dividends Declared and Paid

The Company declared total common share dividends of $0.22 per share and distributions on LTIP units of $0.22 per unit for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The Company suspended dividends beginning after the payment of the March 27, 2020 dividend due to a decline in operating performance caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The dividends and distributions were as follows:


	Record Date		Payment Date		Common share distribution amount			LTIP unit distribution amount
January		1/31/2020		2/28/2020		$	0.11		$	0.11
February		2/28/2020		3/27/2020		0.11			0.11

1st Quarter 2020						$	0.22		$	0.22











Total 2020						$	0.22		$	0.22

10. Earnings Per Share

The two-class method is used to determine earnings per share because unvested restricted shares and unvested LTIP units are considered to be participating shares. The LTIP units held by the non-controlling interest holders, which may be converted to common shares of beneficial interest, have been excluded from the denominator of the diluted earnings per share calculation as there would be no effect on the amounts since limited partners' share of income or loss would also be added back to net income or loss. Unvested restricted shares, unvested long-term incentive plan units and unvested Class A Performance LTIP units that could potentially dilute basic earnings per share in the future would not be included in the computation of diluted loss per share, for the periods where a loss has been recorded, because they would have been anti-dilutive for the periods presented. The following is a reconciliation of the amounts used in calculating basic and diluted net income per share (in thousands, except share and per share data):

11. Equity Incentive Plan

The Company maintains its Equity Incentive Plan to attract and retain independent trustees, executive officers and other key employees and service providers. The plan provides for the grant of options to purchase common shares, share awards, share appreciation rights, performance units and other equity-based awards. The plan was amended and restated as of May 17, 2013 to increase the maximum number of shares available under the plan to 3,000,000 shares. Share awards under this plan generally vest over three years, though compensation for the Company’s independent trustees includes share grants that vest immediately. The Company pays dividends on unvested shares and units, except for performance-based shares and outperformance based units, for which dividends on unvested performance-based shares and units are accrued and not paid until those shares or units vest. Certain awards may provide for accelerated vesting if there is a change in control. In January 2020 and 2019, the Company issued 24,516 and 27,870 common shares, respectively, to its independent trustees as compensation for services performed in 2019 and 2018, respectively. As of June 30, 2020, there were 760,748 common shares available for issuance under the Equity Incentive Plan.

Restricted Share Awards

From time to time, the Company may award restricted shares under the Equity Incentive Plan as compensation to officers, employees and non-employee trustees. The Company recognizes compensation expense for the restricted shares on a straight-line basis over the vesting period based on the fair market value of the shares on the date of issuance.

A summary of the Company’s restricted share awards for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and the year ended December 31, 2019 is as follows:


	Six Months Ended				Year Ended
	June 30, 2020				December 31, 2019
	Number of Shares	Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value		Number of Shares	Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value
Non-vested at beginning of the period	5,001	$	18.33	8,334	$	18.52
Granted	—	—		—	—
Vested	(1,667)	20.20		(3,333)	18.80
Forfeited	—	—		—	—
Non-vested at end of the period	3,334	$	17.40	5,001	$	18.33

As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, there were $43.0 thousand and $58.5 thousand, respectively, of unrecognized compensation costs related to restricted share awards. As of June 30, 2020, these costs were expected to be recognized over a weighted–average period of approximately 1.5 years. For the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company recognized approximately $7.3 thousand and $15.7 thousand, respectively, and for six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company recognized approximately $15.5 thousand and $31.3 thousand, respectively, of expense related to the restricted share awards.

Long-Term Incentive Plan Awards

LTIP units are a special class of partnership interests in the Operating Partnership which may be issued to eligible participants for the performance of services to or for the benefit of the Company. Under the Equity Incentive Plan, each LTIP unit issued is deemed equivalent to an award of one common share thereby reducing the number of shares available for other equity awards on a one-for-one basis.

A summary of the Company's LTIP Unit awards for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and the year ended December 31, 2019 is as follows:


	Six Months Ended				Year Ended
	June 30, 2020				December 31, 2019

Outperformance Plan LTIP Awards

On June 1, 2015, the Company's Operating Partnership granted 183,300 Class A Performance LTIP units, as recommended by the Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Compensation Committee”), pursuant to a long-term, multi-year performance plan (the “Outperformance Plan”). As of June 1, 2018, the Class A Performance LTIP units did not meet the required market based Total Shareholder Return ("TSR") measurements and therefore, the accrued dividends and units have been forfeited. The expense related to these LTIP units was completely amortized as of May 31, 2020.

Time-Based LTIP Awards

On March 1, 2020, the Company’s Operating Partnership, upon the recommendation of the Compensation Committee, granted 130,206 time-based awards (the “2020 Time-Based LTIP Unit Award”). The grants were made pursuant to award agreements that provide for time-based vesting (the "LTIP Unit Time-Based Vesting Agreement").

Time-based LTIP Unit Awards will vest ratably provided that the recipient remains employed by the Company through the applicable vesting date, subject to acceleration of vesting in the event of the recipient’s death, disability, termination without cause or resignation with good reason, or in the event of a change of control of the Company. Prior to vesting, a holder is entitled to receive distributions on the LTIP Units that comprise the 2020 Time-Based LTIP Unit Awards and the prior year LTIP unit Awards set forth in the table above.

Performance-Based LTIP Awards

On March 1, 2020, the Company's Operating Partnership, upon the recommendation of the Compensation Committee, also granted 195,301 performance-based awards (the "2020 Performance-Based LTIP Unit Awards"). The grants were made pursuant to award agreements that have market based vesting conditions. The Performance-Based LTIP Unit Awards are comprised of Class A Performance LTIP Units that will vest only if and to the extent that (i) the Company achieves certain long-term market based TSR criteria established by the Compensation Committee and (ii) the recipient remains employed by the Company through the applicable vesting date, subject to acceleration of vesting in the event of the recipient’s death, disability, termination without cause or resignation with good reason, or in the event of a change of control of the Company. Compensation expense is based on an estimated value of $13.66 per 2020 Performance-Based LTIP Unit Award, which takes into account that some or all of the awards may not vest if long-term market based TSR criteria are not met during the vesting period.

Table of Contents

The 2020 Performance-Based LTIP Unit Awards may be earned based on the Company’s relative TSR performance for the three-year period beginning on March 1, 2020 and ending on February 28, 2023. The 2020 Performance-Based LTIP Unit Awards, if earned, will be paid out between 50% and 150% of target value as follows:


	Relative TSR Hurdles (Percentile)	Payout Percentage
Threshold	25th	50%
Target	50th	100%
Maximum	75th	150%

Payouts at performance levels in between the hurdles will be calculated by straight-line interpolation.

The Company estimated the aggregate compensation cost to be recognized over the service period determined as of the grant date under ASC 718, excluding the effect of estimated forfeitures, using a Monte Carlo approach. In determining the discounted value of the LTIP units, the Company considered the inherent uncertainty that the LTIP units would never reach parity with the other common units of the Operating Partnership and thus have an economic value of zero to the grantee. Additional factors considered in estimating the value of LTIP units included discounts for illiquidity; expectations for future dividends; risk free interest rates; stock price volatility; and economic environment and market conditions.

The grant date fair values of the LTIPs and the assumptions used to estimate the values are as follows:


	Grant Date	Number of Units Granted	Estimated Value Per Unit	Volatility	Dividend Yield	Risk Free Interest Rate
Outperformance Plan LTIP Unit Awards	6/1/2015	183,300	$14.13	26%	4.5%	0.95%
2016 Time-Based LTIP Unit Awards	1/28/2016	72,966	$16.69	28%	—%	0.79%
2016 Performance-Based LTIP Unit Awards	1/28/2016	39,285	$11.09	30%	5.8%	1.13%
2017 Time-Based LTIP Unit Awards	3/1/2017	89,574	$18.53	24%	—%	0.92%
2017 Performance-Based LTIP Unit Awards	3/1/2017	134,348	$19.65	25%	5.8%	1.47%

2019 Performance-Based LTIP Unit Awards	3/1/2019	133,107	$18.91	21%	6.2%	2.55%
2020 Time-Based LTIP Unit Awards	3/1/2020	130,206	$13.05	20%	—%	1.06%
2020 Performance-Based LTIP Unit Awards	3/1/2020	195,301	$13.66	20%	8.1%	0.90%

The Company recorded $1.0 million and $1.1 million in compensation expense related to the LTIP units for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company recognized approximately $2.4 million and $2.0 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, there was $6.9 million and $4.9 million, respectively, of total unrecognized compensation cost related to LTIP units. This cost is expected to be recognized over approximately 2.1 years, which represents the weighted average remaining vesting period of the LTIP units.

12. Leases

The Courtyard Altoona hotel was subject to a ground lease with an expiration date of April 30, 2029 with an extension option by the Company of up to 12 additional terms of five years each. Monthly payments were determined by the quarterly average room occupancy of the hotel. Rent was equal to approximately $8,400 per month when monthly occupancy was less than 85% and could increase up to approximately $20,000 per month if occupancy was 100%, with minimum rent increased by two and one-half percent (2.5%) on an annual basis. The Altoona hotel was sold on May 7, 2019.

The Residence Inn Gaslamp hotel is subject to a ground lease with an expiration date of January 31, 2065 with an extension option by the Company of up to three additional terms of ten years each. Monthly payments are currently approximately $44,400 per month and increase 10% every five years. The hotel is subject to annual supplemental rent payments calculated as 5% of gross revenues during the applicable lease year, minus 12 times the monthly base rent scheduled for the lease year.

The Residence Inn New Rochelle is subject to an air rights lease and garage lease that each expire on December 1, 2104. The lease agreements with the City of New Rochelle cover the space above the parking garage that is occupied by the hotel as well as 128 parking spaces in a parking garage that is attached to the hotel. The annual base rent for the garage lease is the hotel’s proportionate share of the city’s adopted budget for the operations, management and maintenance of the garage and established reserves to fund for the cost of capital repairs. Aggregate rent for 2020 is approximately $31,000 per quarter.

The Hilton Garden Inn Marina del Rey hotel is subject to a ground lease with an expiration date of December 31, 2067. Minimum monthly payments are currently approximately $47,500 per month and a percentage rent payment less the minimum rent is due in arrears equal to 5% to 25% of gross income based on the type of income.

The Company entered into a corporate office lease in September 2015. The lease is for a term of 11 years and includes a 12-month rent abatement period and certain tenant improvement allowances. The Company has a renewal option of up to two successive terms of 5 years each. The Company shares the space with related parties and is reimbursed for the pro-rata share of rentable space occupied by the related parties.

The Company is the lessee under ground, air rights, garage and office lease agreements for certain of its properties, all of which qualify as operating leases as of June 30, 2020. These leases typically provide multi-year renewal options to extend term as lessee at the Company's option. Option periods are included in the calculation of the lease obligation liability only when options are reasonably certain to be exercised.

In calculating the Company's lease obligations under the various leases, the Company uses discount rates estimated to be equal to what the Company would have to pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term, for an amount equal to the lease payments, in a similar economic environment.

The following tables include information regarding the Company's leases for which it is the lessee, as of June 30, 2020:

Litigation

The nature of the operations of the Company's hotels exposes those hotels, the Company and the Operating Partnership to the risk of claims and litigation in the normal course of their business. IHM is currently a defendant in several class action lawsuits pending in the state of California.

interest. A settlement agreement has been negotiated and approved by the applicable courts for Ruffy and Doonan. As of June 30, 2020, included in accounts payable is $0.1 million which represents an estimate of the Company’s total exposure to the Ruffy and Doonan litigations based on standard indemnification obligations under hotel management agreements with IHM.

In addition, IHM is a defendant in the following series of interrelated class action lawsuits: Perez et al. v. Island Hospitality Management III LLC et al. (United States District Court for the Central District of California, Case No. 2:18-cv-04903-DMG-JPR) filed on March 15, 2018, Cruz v. Island Hospitality Management III LLC (Santa Clara County Superior Court Case No. 19CV353655) filed on August 19, 2019, Leon et al. v. Island Hospitality Management III LLC (Orange County Superior Court Case No. 30-2019-01050719-CU-OE-CXC) filed on April 2, 2019, and Vela v. Island Hospitality Management LLC et al. (San Diego County Superior Court, Case No. 37-2019-0003525) filed on July 9, 2019 (collectively the “Perez class actions”). The Perez class actions also relate to hotels operated by IHM in the state of California and owned by affiliates of the Company and the NewINK JV, and/or certain third parties. The complaints allege various wage and hour law violations based on alleged violation of certain California statutes regarding rest and meal breaks and wage statements. The plaintiffs seek injunctive relief, money damages, penalties, and interest. Settlement agreements have been negotiated and currently await approval by the applicable courts. As of June 30, 2020, included in accounts payable and accrued expenses is $0.6 million which represents an estimate of the Company’s total exposure to the Perez class actions based on standard indemnification obligations under hotel management agreements with IHM.

Management Agreements

The management agreements with IHM have an initial term of five years and automatically renew for two five-year periods unless IHM provides written notice to us no later than 90 days prior to the then current term’s expiration date of its intent not to renew. The IHM management agreements provide for early termination at the Company’s option upon sale of any IHM-managed hotel for no termination fee, with six months advance notice. The IHM management agreements may be terminated for cause, including the failure of the managed hotel to meet specified performance levels. Base management fees are calculated as a percentage of the hotel's gross room revenue. If certain financial thresholds are met or exceeded, an incentive management fee is calculated as 10% of the hotel's net operating income less fixed costs, base management fees and a specified return threshold. The incentive management fee is capped at 1% of gross hotel revenues for the applicable calculation.

Management fees totaled approximately $0.8 million and $2.9 million, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and approximately $2.9 million and $5.4 million, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019.

Franchise Agreements

The fees associated with the franchise agreements are calculated as a specified percentage of the hotel's gross room revenue. Franchise and marketing fees totaled approximately $1.6 million and $7.0 million, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 and approximately $6.4 million and $12.9 million, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019. The initial term of the agreements range from 10 to 30 years with the weighted average expiration being July 2030.

14. Related Party Transactions

Prior to March 1, 2019, Mr. Fisher owned 51% of IHM. On March 1, 2019, Mr. Fisher acquired the 1.5% ownership interest of an employee who was leaving IHM. As of June 30, 2020, Mr. Fisher owns 52.5% of IHM. As of June 30, 2020, the Company had hotel management agreements with IHM to manage all 40 of its wholly owned hotels. As of June 30, 2020, all 46 hotels owned by the NewINK JV and 34 of the 48 hotels owned by the Inland JV were managed by IHM. Hotel management, revenue management and accounting fees accrued or paid to IHM for the hotels owned by the Company for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 were $0.8 million and $2.9 million, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 were $2.9 million and $5.4 million, respectively. At June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the amounts due to IHM were $0.4 million and $0.7 million, respectively. The Company provides services to an entity Castleblack Owner Holding, LLC ("Castleblack") which is 97.5% owned by affiliates of CLNY and 2.5% owned by Mr. Fisher. During the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 the company received $49 thousand and $66 thousand, respectively, for these services.

Cost reimbursements from unconsolidated real estate entities revenue represent reimbursements of costs incurred on behalf of the NewINK JV, Inland JV and Castleblack. These costs relate primarily to corporate payroll costs at the NewINK JV, Inland JV and Castleblack where the Company is the employer and shared office expenses. As the Company records cost reimbursements based upon costs incurred with no added markup, the revenue and related expense has no impact on the Company’s operating income or net income. Cost reimbursements from the JVs are recorded based upon the occurrence of a reimbursed activity.

Various shared office expenses and rent are paid by the Company and allocated to the NewINK JV, the Inland JV, Castleblack and IHM based on the amount of square footage occupied by each entity.

15. Subsequent Events

The Inland JV has not been successful in negotiating a forbearance agreement with its lenders. After June 30, 2020, at the direction of the special servicer for the Inland JV loan, control of Inland JV properties is starting to be transitioned to a court appointed receiver. When the receiver has been appointed for Inland JV hotels, it has replaced IHM with new hotel management companies. The Inland JV debt is non-recourse to Chatham with the exception of customary non-recourse carve-out provisions such as fraud, material and intentional misrepresentations and misapplication of funds. A default under the Inland JV loan agreement does not trigger a cross-default under any of Chatham’s debt agreements.

On August 4, 2020, a subsidiary of Chatham entered into an agreement with affiliates of Mack Real Estate Credit Strategies to obtain a $40 million loan to fund the remaining construction costs of the Warner Center hotel development. $1.5 million of the loan was funded at close and additional amounts will be funded over time as work on the project is completed. The loan has an initial term of 4 years and there are two six-month extension options. The rate on the loan is LIBOR, subject to a 0.25% floor, plus a spread of 7.5%. After the property has achieved a 9.0% debt yield, the spread will decrease to 6.0%. The loan is guaranteed by Chatham Lodging, L.P.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Dollar amounts presented in this Item 2 are in thousands, except per share data, unless otherwise specified.

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this report and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. In this report, we use the terms “the Company," “we” or “our” to refer to Chatham Lodging Trust and its consolidated subsidiaries, unless the context indicates otherwise.

COVID-19 Pandemic

The lodging industry has been significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Steps have been taken to restrict inbound international travel and there has been a significant decline in domestic travel. The full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the lodging industry continues to evolve and will depend on future developments including the duration and spread of the outbreak, the existence of governmental stay-at-home orders, peoples' willingness to travel and the strength and timing of an economic recovery. All of these factors are uncertain, and the full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the lodging industry and the Company cannot be predicted at this time. The full magnitude of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s financial condition, liquidity, and future results of operations will depend on future developments which are highly uncertain. The Company has taken actions to mitigate the operating and financial impact of the COVID-19 pandemic including suspending monthly dividends, reducing 2020 capital expenditures, borrowing under its credit facility, obtaining credit facility covenant waivers, and temporarily reducing executive compensation.

Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information

The following information contains forward-looking statements, including those with regard to the potential future impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). These forward-looking statements include information about possible or assumed future results of the lodging industry and our business, financial condition, liquidity, results of operations, cash flow and plans and objectives. These statements generally are characterized by the use of the words “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “plan,” “continue,” “intend,” “should,” “may” or similar expressions. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions, our actual results could differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements. Important factors that we think could cause our actual results to differ materially from expected results are summarized below. One of the most significant factors, however, is the ongoing impact of the current outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic on the United States, regional and global economies, the broader financial markets, our customers and employees, governmental responses thereto and the operation changes we have and may implement in response thereto. The current outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has also impacted, and is likely to continue to impact, directly or indirectly, many of the other important factors below. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict which factors will arise. In addition, we cannot assess the impact of each factor on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. In particular, it is difficult to fully assess the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic at this time due to, among other factors, uncertainty regarding the severity and duration of the outbreak domestically and internationally and the effectiveness of federal, state and local governments' efforts to contain the spread of COVID-19 and respond to its direct and indirect impact on the U.S. economy and economic activity. Some factors that might cause such a difference include the following: local, national and global economic conditions, increased direct competition, changes in government regulations or accounting rules, changes in local, national and global real estate conditions, declines in lodging industry fundamentals, increased operating costs, seasonality of the lodging industry, our ability to obtain debt and equity financing on satisfactory terms, changes in interest rates, our ability to identify suitable investments, our ability to close on identified investments, inaccuracies of our accounting estimates, the uncertainty and economic impact of pandemics, epidemics or other public health emergencies or fear of such events, such as the recent COVID-19 pandemic the impact of and changes to various government programs, including in response to COVID-19, the timing of the development of any effective cure or treatment for COVID-19, the restoration of public confidence in domestic and international travel and or ability to dispose of selected hotel properties on the terms and timing we expect, if at all. Given these uncertainties, undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. We undertake no obligation to publicly release the results of any revisions to these forward-looking statements that may be made to reflect future events or circumstances or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. The forward-looking statements should also be read in light of the risk factors identified in the “Risk Factors” section in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 as updated by the Company's subsequent filings with the SEC under the Exchange Act, including the Quarterly Report for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended June 30, 2020.

Overview

We are a self-advised hotel investment company organized in October 2009 that commenced operations in April 2010. Our investment strategy is to invest in upscale extended-stay and premium-branded select-service hotels in geographically diverse markets with high barriers to entry near strong demand generators. We may acquire portfolios of hotels or single hotels. We expect that a significant portion of our portfolio will consist of hotels in the upscale extended-stay or select-service categories, including brands such as Homewood Suites by Hilton^®, Residence Inn by Marriott^®, Hyatt Place^®, Courtyard by Marriott^®, SpringHill Suites by Marriott^®, Hilton Garden Inn by Hilton^®, Embassy Suites^®, Hampton Inn^® and Hampton Inn and Suites^®.

The Company's future hotel acquisitions may be funded by issuances of both common and preferred shares or the issuance of partnership interests in our operating partnership, Chatham Lodging, L.P. (the "Operating Partnership"), draw-downs under our revolving credit facility, the incurrence or assumption of debt, available cash, proceeds from dispositions of assets or distributions from our 10.3% investment in a joint venture with affiliates of Colony Capital, Inc. (“CLNY”) that owns 46 hotels (the "NewINK JV"). We intend to acquire quality assets at attractive prices and improve their returns through knowledgeable asset management and seasoned, proven hotel management while remaining prudently leveraged.

At June 30, 2020, our leverage ratio was 36.6% measured as the ratio of our net debt (total debt outstanding before deferred financing costs less unrestricted cash and cash equivalents) to hotel investments at cost, including the JV investments. Over the past several years, we have maintained a leverage ratio between the mid-30s and the low 50s to fund our acquisitions and JV investments. As of June 30, 2020, we have total debt of $665.4 million at an average interest rate of approximately 4.3%.

We are a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for federal income tax purposes. In order to qualify as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), we cannot operate our hotels. Therefore, our Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries lease our hotel properties to taxable REIT subsidiary lessees (“TRS Lessees”), who in turn engage eligible independent contractors to manage the hotels. Each of the TRS Lessees is treated as a taxable REIT subsidiary for federal income tax purposes and is consolidated within our financial statements for accounting purposes. However, since we control both the Operating Partnership and the TRS Lessees, our principal source of funds on a consolidated basis is from the operations of our hotels. The earnings of the TRS Lessees are subject to taxation as regular C corporations, as defined in the Code, potentially reducing the TRS Lessees’ cash available to pay dividends to us, and therefore our funds from operations and the cash available for distribution to our shareholders.

Key Indicators of Operating Performance and Financial Condition

We measure financial condition and hotel operating performance by evaluating non-financial and financial metrics and measures such as:

•Average Daily Rate (“ADR”), which is the quotient of room revenue divided by total rooms sold,

•Occupancy, which is the quotient of total rooms sold divided by total rooms available,

•Revenue Per Available Room (“RevPAR”), which is the product of occupancy and ADR, and does not include food and beverage revenue, or other operating revenue,

•Funds From Operations (“FFO”),

•Adjusted FFO,

•Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”),

•EBITDAre,

•Adjusted EBITDA, and

•Adjusted Hotel EBITDA.

We evaluate the hotels in our portfolio and potential acquisitions using these metrics to determine each hotel’s contribution toward providing income to our shareholders through increases in distributable cash flow and increasing long-term total returns through appreciation in the value of our common shares. RevPAR, ADR and Occupancy are hotel industry measures commonly used to evaluate operating performance.

See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for further discussion of FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA, EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA.

Results of Operations

Industry Outlook

The lodging industry has been significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Steps have been taken to restrict inbound international travel and there has been a significant decline in domestic travel. Smith Travel Research reported that US lodging industry RevPAR declined 69.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2020, with RevPAR down 79.9% in April 2020, down 71.0% in May 2020 and down 60.6% in June 2020. We expect the current trend of significant RevPAR declines to continue until public concerns regarding the severity of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic are assuaged. The full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the lodging industry continues to evolve and will depend on future developments including the duration and spread of the outbreak, the existence of governmental stay-at-home orders, peoples' willingness to travel, and the strength and timing of an economic recovery. All of these factors are uncertain, and the full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the lodging industry cannot be predicted at this time.

Comparison of the three months ended June 30, 2020 to the three months ended June 30, 2019

Results of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2020 include the operating activities of our 40 wholly owned hotels that were owned for the entire period and our investments in the NewINK JV and Inland JV. We sold one hotel in Altoona, PA on May 7, 2019 and one hotel in Washington, PA on May 15, 2019. Our financial results were adversely impacted by decreased visitation at our properties due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The comparisons below are influenced by these dispositions and the COVID-19 pandemic.

Revenues

Revenue, which consists primarily of room, food and beverage and other operating revenues from our wholly owned hotels, was as follows for the periods indicated (dollars in thousands):


	For the three months ended
	June 30, 2020		June 30, 2019		% Change
Room	$	18,389	$	79,970	(77.0)	%
Food and beverage	117		2,535		(95.4)	%
Other	873		3,934		(77.8)	%
Cost reimbursements from unconsolidated real estate entities	794		1,435		(44.7)	%
Total revenue	$	20,173	$	87,874	(77.0)	%

Total revenue was $20.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2020, down $67.7 million compared to total revenue of $87.9 million for the corresponding 2019 period. The primary decrease in total revenue was related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Total revenue related to the two hotels sold in 2019 contributed $0.6 million of the decrease. Since all of our hotels are select-service or limited-service hotels, room revenue is the primary revenue source as these hotels do not have significant food and beverage revenue or large group conference facilities. Room revenue comprised 91.2% and 91.0%, respectively, of total revenue for the quarters ended June 30, 2020 and 2019. Room revenue was $18.4 million and $80.0 million for the quarters ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and the decrease in room revenue primarily was related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Room revenue related to the two hotels sold in 2019 contributed $0.5 million of the decrease.

Food and beverage revenue was $0.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2020, down $2.4 million compared to $2.5 million for the corresponding 2019 period. The decrease in food and beverage revenue primarily was related to a decline in occupancies at our hotels due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Other operating revenue, comprised of parking, meeting room, gift shop, in-room movie and other ancillary amenities revenue, was down $3.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. Other operating revenue was $0.9 million and $3.9 million for the quarters ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The decrease in other operating revenue primarily was related to a decline in occupancies at our hotels due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Reimbursable costs from unconsolidated real estate entities, comprised of payroll costs at the JVs and Castleblack Owner Holding, LLC ("Castleblack"), which is 97.5% owned by affiliates of CLNY and 2.5% by Mr. Fisher, where the Company is the employer, were $0.8 million and $1.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The cost reimbursements were offset by the reimbursed costs from unconsolidated real estate entities included in operating expenses.

Hotel operating expenses decreased $28.4 million or 64.3% to $15.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 from $44.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The primary cause of the decrease in hotel operating expenses was related to the decrease in revenues and occupancy caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Our hotel managers have taken significant steps to reduce operating costs in light of the reduction in demand caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Total hotel operating expense related to the two hotels sold in 2019 contributed $0.5 million of the decrease.

Room expenses, which are the most significant component of hotel operating expenses, decreased $11.9 million from $16.4 million in 2019 to $4.5 million in the second quarter of 2020. The decrease in room expenses primarily was related to a decline in occupancies and revenues at our hotels due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Room expenses related to the two hotels sold in 2019 contributed $0.2 million of the decrease.

The remaining hotel operating expenses decreased $16.6 million, from $27.8 million in the second quarter of 2019 to $11.2 million in the second quarter of 2020. The decrease in other remaining expenses primarily was related to a decline in occupancies and revenues at our hotels due to the COVID-19 pandemic. A decrease of $0.3 million in hotel operating expenses related to the two hotels sold in 2019.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization expense increased $0.7 million from $13.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 to $13.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The increase was primarily due to renovations. Depreciation is generally recorded on our assets over 40 years for buildings, 20 years for land improvements, 15 years for building improvements and one to ten years for furniture, fixtures and equipment from the date of acquisition on a straight-line basis. Depreciable lives of hotel furniture, fixtures and equipment are generally assumed to be the difference between the date of acquisition and the date that the furniture, fixtures and equipment will be replaced. Amortization of franchise fees is recorded on a straight-line basis over the term of the respective franchise agreement.

Property Taxes, Ground Rent and Insurance

Total property taxes, ground rent and insurance expenses decreased from $6.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 to $5.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The decrease was primarily related to decreased ground rent at our hotels due to lower revenues.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses principally consist of employee-related costs, including base payroll, bonuses and amortization of restricted stock and awards of long-term incentive plan units. These expenses also include corporate operating costs, professional fees and trustees’ fees. Total general and administrative expenses (excluding amortization of stock based compensation of $1.1 million and $1.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively) decreased to $1.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 from $2.4 million in the three months ended June 30, 2019 with the decrease primarily due to a reduction in compensation.

Other Charges

Other charges increased from $25 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2019 to $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. Other charges primarily include deductibles related to insurance claims.

Reimbursable Costs from Unconsolidated Real Estate Entities

Reimbursable costs from unconsolidated real estate entities, comprised of corporate payroll and rent costs of the NewINK JV, Inland JVs and Castleblack, which is 2.5% owned by Mr. Fisher, where the Company is the employer, were $0.8 million and $1.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The cost reimbursements were offset by the cost reimbursements from unconsolidated real estate entities included in revenues.

Gain (loss) on Sale of Hotel Property

Gain on sale of hotel property decreased $3.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2019 due to the $3.3 million loss from the sales of the Courtyard Altoona, PA on May 7, 2019 and the SpringHill Suites Washington, PA on May 15, 2019 and no comparable loss in 2020.

Interest and Other Income

Interest on cash and cash equivalents and other income decreased $27 thousand from $66 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2019 to $39 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The decrease is primarily related to reimbursements from escrow accounts from previous lenders in 2019.

Interest Expense, Including Amortization of Deferred Fees

Interest expense decreased $0.1 million from $7.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 to $7.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and is comprised of the following (dollars in thousands):


	For the three months ended
	June 30, 2020		June 30, 2019		% Change
Mortgage debt interest	$	5,811	$	5,908	(1.6)	%
Credit facility interest and unused fees	1,278		1,070		19.4	%
Capitalized interest	(318)		(74)		329.7	%
Amortization of deferred financing costs	263		227		15.9	%
Total	$	7,034	$	7,131	(1.4)	%

The decrease in interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2020 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2019 is primarily related to an increase in capitalized interest and a decrease in interest expense on the Company's mortgage debt due to lower principal balances for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2019.

(Loss) income from Unconsolidated Real Estate Entities

Income from unconsolidated real estate entities was $0.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to a loss of $1.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The decrease is due primarily to a decline in operating performance due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 was $0.0 million and $0.0 million, respectively. We are subject to income taxes based on the taxable income of our TRS Lessees at a combined federal and state tax rate of approximately 25%. The Company’s TRS is expecting taxable losses in 2020 and recognizes full valuation allowance equal to 100% of the gross deferred tax assets, with the exception of the AMT tax credit, due to the uncertainty of the TRS's ability to utilize these deferred tax assets.

Net loss

Net loss was $27.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to net loss of $9.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The change in net income was due to the factors discussed above.

Comparison of the six months ended June 30, 2020 to the six months ended June 30, 2019

Results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2020 include the operating activities of our 40 wholly owned hotels that were owned for the entire period, partial period results for two hotels which were sold during this period, and our investments in the NewINK JV and Inland JV. We sold one hotel in Altoona, PA on May 7, 2019 and one hotel in Washington, PA on May 15, 2019. Our financial results were adversely impacted by decreased visitation at our properties due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The majority of the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our hotels’ operations began during the second half of March 2020, so the results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2020 reflect the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic for only a portion of the period. The comparisons below are influenced by these dispositions and the COVID-19 pandemic.

Revenues

Revenue, which consists primarily of room, food and beverage and other operating revenues from our wholly owned hotels, was as follows for the periods indicated (dollars in thousands):

Total revenue was $80.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, down $83.2 million compared to total revenue of $163.6 million for the corresponding 2019 period. The decrease in total revenue primarily was related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Total revenue related to the two hotels sold in 2019 contributed $1.6 million of the decrease. Since all of our hotels are select-service or limited-service hotels, room revenue is the primary revenue source as these hotels do not have significant food and beverage revenue or large group conference facilities. Room revenue comprised 88.9% and 90.5% of total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Room revenue was $71.4 million and $148.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and the decrease in room revenue primarily was related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Room revenue related to the two hotels sold in 2019 contributed $1.5 million of the decrease.

Food and beverage revenue was $2.2 million, for the six months ended June 30, 2020, down $2.8 million, compared to $5.0 million for the corresponding 2019 period. The decrease in food and beverage revenue primarily was related to a decline in occupancies at our hotels due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Other operating revenue, comprised of parking, meeting room, gift shop, in-room movie and other ancillary amenities revenue was down $3.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020.

Reimbursable costs from unconsolidated real estate entities, comprised of payroll costs at the JVs and an entity, Castleblack, which is 97.5% owned by affiliates of CLNY and 2.5% by Mr. Fisher, where the Company is the employer, were $2.4 million and $2.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The cost reimbursements were offset by the reimbursed costs from unconsolidated real estate entities included in operating expenses.

As reported by Smith Travel Research, industry RevPAR for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 decreased 45.5% and increased 1.2%, respectively, in the 2020 and 2019 periods as compared to the respective prior year periods. We expect the current trend of significant RevPAR declines to continue until public concerns regarding the severity of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic are assuaged.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We consider the following non-GAAP financial measures useful to investors as key supplemental measures of our operating performance: (1) FFO, (2) Adjusted FFO, (3) EBITDA, (4) EBITDAre, (5) Adjusted EBITDA and (6) Adjusted Hotel EBITDA. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered along with, but not as alternatives to, net income or loss as prescribed by GAAP as a measure of our operating performance.

FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA, EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA do not represent cash generated from operating activities under GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to net income or loss, cash flows from operations or any other operating performance measure prescribed by GAAP. FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA, EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA are not measures of our liquidity, nor are FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA, EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to make cash distributions. These measurements do not reflect cash expenditures for long-term assets and other items that have been and will be incurred. FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA, EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA may include funds that may not be available for management’s discretionary use due to functional requirements to conserve funds for capital expenditures, property acquisitions, and other commitments and uncertainties.

We calculate FFO in accordance with standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment

Trusts ("NAREIT"), which defines FFO as net income or loss (calculated in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains or losses from sales of real estate, impairment write-downs, the cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles, plus depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs), and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures following the same approach. We believe that the presentation of FFO provides useful information to investors regarding our operating performance because it measures our performance without regard to specified non-cash items such as real estate depreciation and amortization, gain or loss on sale of real estate assets and certain other items that we believe are not indicative of the property level performance of our hotel properties. We believe that these items reflect historical cost of our asset base and our acquisition and disposition activities and are less reflective of our ongoing operations, and that by adjusting to exclude the effects of these items, FFO is useful to investors in comparing our operating performance between periods and between REITs that also report FFO using the NAREIT definition.

We calculate Adjusted FFO by further adjusting FFO for certain additional items that are not addressed in NAREIT’s definition of FFO, including other charges, costs associated with the departure of our former Chief Investment Officer, losses on the early extinguishment of debt and similar items related to our unconsolidated real estate entities that we believe do not represent costs related to hotel operations. We believe that Adjusted FFO provides investors with another financial measure that may facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods and between REITs that make similar adjustments to FFO.

Diluted weighted average common share count used for calculation of adjusted FFO per share may differ from diluted weighted average common share count used for calculation of GAAP Net Income per share by LTIP units, which may be converted to common shares of beneficial interest if Net Income per share is negative and Adjusted FFO is positive. Unvested restricted shares and unvested LTIP units that could potentially dilute basic earnings per share in the future would not be included in the computation of diluted loss per share for the periods where a loss has been recorded because they would have been anti-dilutive for the periods presented.

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") is defined as net income or loss excluding: (1) interest expense; (2) provision for income taxes, including income taxes applicable to sales of assets; (3) depreciation and amortization; and (4) unconsolidated real estate entity items including interest, depreciation and amortization excluding gains and losses from sales of real estate. We consider EBITDA useful to an investor in evaluating and facilitating comparisons of our operating performance between periods and between REITs by removing the impact of our capital structure (primarily interest expense) and asset base (primarily depreciation and amortization) from our operating results. In addition, EBITDA is used as one measure in determining the value of hotel acquisitions and dispositions.

In addition to EBITDA, we present EBITDAre in accordance with NAREIT guidelines, which defines EBITDAre as net income or loss 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. We believe 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.

We also present Adjusted EBITDA, which includes additional adjustments for items such as other charges, gains or losses on extinguishment of indebtedness, costs associated with the departure of our former Chief Investment officer, the amortization of share-based compensation, and certain other expenses that we consider outside the normal course of operations. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA provides useful supplemental information to investors regarding our ongoing operating performance that, when considered with net income, EBITDA and EBITDAre, is beneficial to an investor's understanding of our performance.

Adjusted Hotel EBITDA is defined as net income before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, corporate general and administrative, impairment loss, loss on early extinguishment of debt, other charges, interest and other income, losses on sales of hotel properties and income or loss from unconsolidated real estate entities. We present Adjusted Hotel EBITDA because we believe it is useful to investors in comparing our hotel operating performance between periods and comparing our Adjusted Hotel EBITDA margins to those of our peer companies. Adjusted Hotel EBITDA represents the results of operations for our wholly owned hotels only.

Although we present FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA, EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA because we believe they are useful to investors in comparing our operating performance between periods and between REITs that report similar measures, these measures have limitations as analytical tools. Some of these limitations are:

•FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA, EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA do not reflect our cash expenditures, or future requirements, for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;

•FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA, EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;

•FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA, EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA do not reflect funds available to make cash distributions;

•EBITDA, EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA do not reflect the significant interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on our debts;

•Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized may need to be replaced in the future, and FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA, EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA do not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements;

•Non-cash compensation is and will remain a key element of our overall long-term incentive compensation package, although we exclude it as an expense when evaluating our ongoing operating performance for a particular period using Adjusted EBITDA;

•Adjusted FFO, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA do not reflect the impact of certain cash charges (including acquisition transaction costs) that result from matters we consider not to be indicative of the underlying performance of our hotel properties; and

•Other companies in our industry may calculate FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA, EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA differently than we do, limiting their usefulness as a comparative measure.

Table of Contents

In addition, FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA, EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA do not represent cash generated from operating activities as determined by GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to net income or loss, cash flows from operations or any other operating performance measure prescribed by GAAP. FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA, EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA are not measures of our liquidity. Because of these limitations, FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA, EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA, EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA only supplementally. Our consolidated financial statements and the notes to those statements included elsewhere are prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Sources and Uses of Cash

Our principal sources of cash include net cash from operations and proceeds from debt and equity issuances. Our principal uses of cash include acquisitions, capital expenditures, operating costs, corporate expenditures, interest costs, debt repayments and distributions to equity holders.

As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we had cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of approximately $45.7 million and $20.2 million, respectively.

For the six months ended June 30, 2020, net cash flows used in operations were $15.7 million, driven by net loss of $55.3 million, $50.4 million of non-cash items, including $27.2 million of depreciation and amortization, $2.3 million of share-based compensation expense, $0.3 million of accelerated LTIP compensation, $5.3 million related to loss from unconsolidated entities and $15.3 million related to the impairment of out interest in the Inland JV. In addition, changes in operating assets and liabilities due to the timing of cash receipts, payments for real estate taxes, payments of corporate compensation and payments from our hotels resulted in net cash outflow of $10.8 million. Net cash flows used in investing activities were $20.5 million, primarily related to capital improvements on our 40 wholly owned hotels of $10.4 million and $10.1 million related to the development of a new hotel. Net cash flows provided by financing activities were $61.8 million, comprised of $0.1 million of common equity proceeds raised through sales under our DRSPP and ATM, net borrowings of our senior unsecured revolving credit facility of $83.0 million, offset by principal payments on mortgage debt of $4.5 million, payments of financing and offering costs of $0.6 million and distributions to shareholders of $16.2 million.

For the six months ended June 30, 2019, net cash flows provided by operations were $37.8 million, driven by net income of $11.2 million, $29.1 million of non-cash items, including $26.2 million of depreciation and amortization, $2.3 million of share-based compensation expense and $0.6 million related to loss from unconsolidated entities. In addition, a loss on the sale of two hotels of $3.3 million and changes in operating assets and liabilities due to the timing of cash receipts, payments for real estate taxes, payments of corporate compensation and payments from our hotels resulted in net cash outflow of $5.8 million. Net cash flows used in investing activities were $13.8 million, primarily related to capital improvements on our 40 wholly owned hotels of $23.2 million, offset by proceeds from the sale of the Altoona and Washington, PA hotels of $9.0 million and distributions of $0.4 million received from unconsolidated real estate entities. Net cash flows used by financing activities were $29.4 million, comprised of $7.1 million of common equity proceeds raised through sales under our DRSPP and ATM, offset by net repayments of our senior unsecured revolving credit facility of $2.5 million, by principal payments on mortgage debt of $2.6 million, payments of financing and offering costs of $0.2 million, and distributions to shareholders of $31.2 million.

We declared total dividends of $0.22 and $0.22 per common share and LTIP unit for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and $0.66 and $0.66 per common share and LTIP unit for the six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At June 30, 2020, our leverage ratio was approximately 36.6% measured as the ratio of our net debt (total debt outstanding before deferred financing costs less unrestricted cash and cash equivalents) to hotel investments at cost, including our JV investments. Over the past several years, we have maintained a leverage ratio between the mid-30s and the low 50s to fund our acquisitions and investments in joint ventures. At June 30, 2020, we have total debt of $665.4 million at an average interest rate of approximately 4.3%.

At June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we had $173.0 million and $90.0 million, respectively, in outstanding borrowings under our $250.0 million revolving credit facility. We also had mortgage debt on individual hotels aggregating $492.4 million and $496.9 million at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

Table of Contents

Our credit facility contains representations, warranties, covenants, terms and conditions customary for credit facilities of this type, including a maximum leverage ratio, a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio and minimum net worth financial covenants, limitations on (i) liens, (ii) incurrence of debt, (iii) investments, (iv) distributions, and (v) mergers and asset dispositions, covenants to preserve corporate existence and comply with laws, covenants on the use of proceeds of the revolving credit facility and default provisions, including defaults for non-payment, breach of representations and warranties, insolvency, non-performance of covenants, cross-defaults and guarantor defaults.

On May 6, 2020, the company amended its credit facility to provide it with certain relief from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. The amendment provides for the waiver of certain financial covenants through March 31, 2021 and allows Chatham to borrow up to the entire $250 million facility size during this period. During this covenant waiver period, Chatham will be required to maintain a minimum liquidity of $25 million which will include both unrestricted cash and credit facility availability. In connection with the amendment, Chatham added six hotels to the credit facility’s borrowing base which now has a total of 18 properties. The amendment provided Chatham’s credit facility lenders with pledges of the equity in the 18 borrowing base hotels. The amendment places additional limits on Chatham’s ability to incur debt, pay dividends, and make capital expenditures during the covenant waiver period. During the covenant waiver period interest will be calculated as LIBOR (subject to a 0.5% floor) plus a spread of 2.5% if borrowings remain at or below $200 million and a spread of 3.0% if borrowings exceed $200 million. We were in compliance with all modified financial covenants at June 30, 2020.

We expect to meet our short-term liquidity requirements generally through existing cash balances and availability under our credit facility. We believe that our existing cash balances and availability under our credit facility will be adequate to fund operating obligations, pay interest on any borrowings and fund dividends in accordance with the requirements for qualification as a REIT under the Code. We expect to meet our long-term liquidity requirements, such as hotel property acquisitions and debt maturities or repayments through additional long-term secured and unsecured borrowings, the issuance of additional equity or debt securities or the possible sale of existing assets.

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused, and is continuing to cause, significant disruption in the financial markets both globally and in the United States, and will continue to impact, possibly materially, our business, financial condition and results of operations. We cannot predict the degree, or duration, to which our operations will be affected by the COVID-19 outbreak, and the effects could be material. While we believe the liquidity provided by our unrestricted cash and credit facility availability, valuable unencumbered assets and aggressive cost reduction initiatives will enable us to fund our current obligations for the foreseeable future, COVID-19 has resulted in significant disruption of global financial markets, which could have a negative impact on our ability to access capital in the future. Because the situation is ongoing, and because the duration and severity remain unclear, it is difficult to forecast any impacts on our future results.

Dividend Policy

Our common share dividend policy has been to distribute, annually, approximately 100% of our annual taxable income. We suspended dividends after the March 2020 payment due to the decline in operating performance caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. We plan to pay dividends required to maintain REIT status. The aggregate amount of dividends and distributions declared for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was $0.22 per common share and LTIP unit. The amount of any dividends is determined by our Board of Trustees.

Capital Expenditures

We intend to maintain each hotel property in good repair and condition and in conformity with applicable laws and regulations and in accordance with the franchisors' standards and any agreed-upon requirements in our management and loan agreements. After we acquire a hotel property, we may be required to complete a property improvement plan (“PIP”) in order to be granted a new franchise license for that particular hotel property. PIPs are intended to bring the hotel property up to the franchisors' standards. Certain of our loans require that we escrow, for property improvement purposes, at the hotels collateralizing these loans, amounts up to 5% of gross revenue from such hotels. We intend to spend amounts necessary to

comply with any reasonable loan or franchisor requirements and otherwise to the extent that such expenditures are in the best interest of the hotel. To the extent that we spend more on capital expenditures than is available from our operations, we intend to fund those capital expenditures with available cash and borrowings under our revolving credit facility.

Table of Contents

For the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, we invested approximately $4.3 million and $11.5 million for renovations and other non-recurring capital expenditures on our existing hotels, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, we invested approximately $10.4 million and $20.7 million, respectively. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have reduced our planned 2020 capital expenditures by approximately $10 million. We expect to invest an additional $4.0 million on renovations, discretionary and emergency expenditures on our existing hotels for the remainder of 2020, including improvements required under any brand PIP.

We are developing a hotel in Los Angeles, CA on a parcel of land owned by us. We expect that the total development costs for construction of the hotel to be approximately $70 million, which includes the cost of the land. We have incurred $30.5 million of costs to date, which includes $6.6 million of the land acquisition costs and $23.9 million of other development costs.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We had no material off-balance sheet arrangements at June 30, 2020, other than non-recourse debt associated with the NewINK JV and the Inland JV. In connection with certain non-recourse mortgage loans in either the NewINK JV or Inland JV, our Operating Partnership could require us to repay our pro rata share of portions of each respective JVs indebtedness in connection with certain customary non-recourse carve-out provisions such as environmental conditions, misuse of funds and material misrepresentations.

Contractual Obligations

The following table sets forth our contractual obligations as of June 30, 2020 and the effect these obligations are expected to have on our liquidity and cash flow in future periods (in thousands).


	Payments Due by Period
Contractual Obligations	Total		Less Than One Year		One to Three Years		Three to Five Years		More Than Five Years
Corporate office lease (1)	$	5,403	$	409	$	1,684	$	1,770	$	1,540

Total	$	817,551	$	20,070	$	260,886	$	451,758	$	84,837

1.The Company entered into a corporate office lease in 2015. The lease is for eleven years and includes a 12-month rent abatement period and certain tenant improvement allowances. The Company shares the space with related parties and is reimbursed for the pro-rata share of rentable space occupied by related parties.

2.Does not reflect paydowns or additional borrowings under the revolving credit facility after June 30, 2020. Interest payments are based on the interest rate in effect as of June 30, 2020. See Note 7, “Debt” to our unaudited consolidated financial statements for additional information relating to our property loans.

In addition to the above listed obligations, we pay management and franchise fees to our hotel management companies and franchisors based on the revenues of our hotels. The table above also does not include $4.0 million that we expect to invest on renovations, discretionary and emergency capital expenditures on our existing hotels for the remainder of 2020, or $39.5 million of estimated remaining costs associated with our Los Angeles hotel development. Our contracts associated with these planned capital expenditures contain clauses that allow us to cancel all or some portion of the work. If cancellation of a contract occurred, our commitment would be any costs incurred up to the cancellation date, in addition to any costs associated with the discharge of the contract.

The Company’s ownership interests in the JVs are subject to change in the event that either we or CLNY calls for additional capital contributions to the respective JVs necessary for the conduct of that JV's business, including contributions to fund costs and expenses related to capital expenditures. We manage the NewINK JV and Inland JV and will receive a promote interest in the applicable JV if it meets certain return thresholds. CLNY may also approve certain actions related to the JVs without the Company’s consent, including certain property dispositions conducted at arm’s length, certain actions related to the restructuring of the JVs and removal of the Company as managing member in the event the Company fails to fulfill its material obligations under the respective joint venture agreements.

Table of Contents

In connection with certain non-recourse mortgage loans in either the NewINK JV or Inland JV, our Operating Partnership could require us to repay our pro rata share of portions of each respective JVs indebtedness in connection with certain customary non-recourse carve-out provisions such as environmental conditions, misuse of funds and material misrepresentations.

Inflation

Operators of hotels, in general, possess the ability to adjust room rates daily to reflect the effects of inflation. However, competitive pressures may limit the ability of our management companies to raise room rates.

Seasonality

Demand for our hotels is affected by recurring seasonal patterns. Generally, we expect that we will have lower revenue, operating income and cash flow in the first and fourth quarters and higher revenue, operating income and cash flow in the second and third quarters. These general trends are, however, influenced by overall economic cycles and the geographic locations of our hotels.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with GAAP, which requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities at the date of our financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. While we do not believe the reported amounts would be materially different, application of these policies involves the exercise of judgment and the use of assumptions as to future uncertainties and, as a result, actual results could differ from these estimates. We evaluate our estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis. We base our estimates on experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. All of our significant accounting policies, including certain critical accounting policies, are disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

We may be exposed to interest rate changes primarily as a result of our assumption of long-term debt in connection with our acquisitions and upon refinancing of existing debt. Our interest rate risk management objectives are to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows and to lower overall borrowing costs. To achieve these objectives, we seek to borrow primarily at fixed rates or variable rates with the lowest margins available and, in some cases, with the ability to convert variable rates to fixed rates. With respect to variable rate financing, we will assess interest rate risk by identifying and monitoring changes in interest rate exposures that may adversely impact expected future cash flows and by evaluating hedging opportunities.

The Company estimates the fair value of its fixed rate debt by discounting the future cash flows of each instrument at estimated market rates. Rates take into consideration general market conditions, maturity and fair value of the underlying collateral. The estimated fair value of the Company’s fixed rate debt at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 was $479.5 million and $501.5 million, respectively.

At June 30, 2020, our consolidated debt was comprised of floating and fixed interest rate debt. The fair value of our fixed rate debt indicates the estimated principal amount of debt having the same debt service requirements that could have been borrowed at the date presented, at then current market interest rates. The following table provides information about the maturities of our financial instruments as of June 30, 2020 that are sensitive to changes in interest rates (dollars in thousands):


	2020		2021		2022		2023			2024			2025			Thereafter	Total/ Weighted Average			Fair Value
Floating rate:
Debt	—		—		$173,000		—			—			—			—	$	173,000		$	173,000
Average interest rate (1)	—		—		3.11%		—			—			—			—	3.11		%
Fixed rate:
Debt	$4,982		$22,050		$9,954		$	143,084		$	296,387		$	15,920		—	$	492,377		$	479,471
Average interest rate	4.69	%	5.27	%	4.63	%	4.66		%	4.64		%	4.25		%	—	4.66		%

(1) Weighted average interest rate based on borrowings at LIBOR of 0.50% plus a margin of 2.50% at June 30, 2020.

All of our floating rate debt is currently subject to a 0.5% LIBOR floor. At June 30, 2020 1-month LIBOR was 0.17%. We estimate that a hypothetical 100 basis points increase in LIBOR would result in additional interest of approximately $1.2 million annually. This assumes that the amount outstanding under our floating rate debt remains $173.0 million, the balance as of June 30, 2020.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(b) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

The first class action lawsuit was filed in the Santa Clara County Superior Court on October 21, 2016 under the title Ruffy, et al, v. Island Hospitality Management, LLC, et al. Case No. 16-CV-301473 (“Ruffy”) and the second class action lawsuit was filed on March 21, 2018 under the title Doonan, et al, v. Island Hospitality Management, LLC, et al. Case No 18-CV-325187 (“Doonan”). The class actions relate to hotels operated by IHM in the state of California and owned by affiliates of the Company and the NewINK JV, and/or certain third parties. The complaints allege various wage and hour law violations based on alleged misclassification of certain hotel managerial staff and violation of certain California statutes regarding incorrect information contained on employee paystubs. The plaintiffs seek injunctive relief, money damages, penalties, and interest. A settlement agreement has been negotiated and approved by the applicable courts for Ruffy and Doonan. As of June 30, 2020, included in accounts payable and accrued expenses is $0.1 million which represents an estimate of the Company’s total exposure to the Ruffy and Doonan litigations based on standard indemnification obligations under hotel management agreements with IHM.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

Our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 includes detailed discussions of our risk factors under the heading “Risk Factors.”

The current COVID-19 pandemic had, and may continue to have, or a future pandemic could have, adverse effects on our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and performance.

Table of Contents

The global pandemic caused by the coronavirus known as COVID-19 has had a severe and negative impact on both the U.S. economy and the global economy. Financial markets have experienced significant volatility during the first half of 2020, which is expected to continue over the upcoming quarters. Globally and throughout the United States, federal and local governments have instituted quarantines, restrictions on travel, school closings, "shelter in place" orders, and restrictions on types of businesses that may continue operations. Although certain of these restrictions have begun, and may continue, to ease in some places, the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, including large outbreaks of COVID-19 in various regions, has resulted, and may continue to result, in their reinstitution. These restrictions have had a severe impact on the U.S. lodging industry and some of our hotels continue to operate at a significantly reduced occupancy.

The following factors should be considered since the COVID-19 pandemic has significantly adversely affected the ability of our hotel managers to successfully operate our hotels and has, or the continued and prolonged effects of the COVID-19 may have, a significant adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows due to, among other factors:

•Significant reduction of operations at some of our properties;

•a variety of factors related to the COVID-19 pandemic have caused, and are expected to continue to cause, a sharp decline in group, business and leisure travel, including but not limited to (i) restrictions on travel mandated by governmental entities or voluntarily imposed by employers, (ii) the postponement or cancellation of conventions and conferences, music and arts festivals, sporting events and other large public gatherings, (iii) the closure of amusement parks, museums and other tourist attractions, (iv) the closure of colleges and universities, and (v) negative public perceptions of travel and public gatherings in light of the perceived risks associated with COVID-19;

•travelers are, and may continue to be, wary to travel where, or because, they may view the risk of contagion as increased and contagion or virus-related deaths linked or alleged to be linked to travel to our properties, whether accurate or not, may injure our reputation;

•travelers may be dissuaded from traveling due to possible enhanced COVID-19-related screening measures which are being implemented across multiple markets we serve;

•travelers may be dissuaded from traveling due to the concern that additional travel restrictions implemented between their departure and return may affect their ability to return to their homes;

•commercial airline service has been reduced or suspended to many of the areas in which our hotels are located, and if scheduled airline service does not increase or return to normal levels once our resorts are re-opened it could negatively affect our revenues;

•the reduced economic activity could also result in an economic recession, and increased unemployment, which could negatively impact future ability or desire to travel lodging demand and, therefore, our revenues, even after the temporary restrictions are lifted;

•a decrease in the ancillary revenue from amenities at our properties;

•the financial impact of the COVID-19 pandemic could negatively impact our future compliance with the financial covenants of our credit facility or other debt obligations, and result in a default and potentially an acceleration of indebtedness which would adversely affect our financial condition and liquidity;

•difficulty in accessing debt and equity capital on attractive terms, or at all, and a severe disruption and instability in the global financial markets or deteriorations in credit and financing conditions may affect our access to capital;

•the general decline in business activity and demand for real estate transactions adversely affecting our ability to acquire additional properties;

•the potential negative impact on the health of our personnel, particularly if a significant number of them are impacted, could result in a deterioration in our ability to ensure business continuity during and after this disruption;

•the increase in number of our employees working remotely has increased certain risks to our business, including increased demand on our information technology resources and systems, greater potential for phishing and other cybersecurity attacks, and an increase in the number of points of potential attack;

•we may be subject to increased risks related to employee matters, including increased employment litigation and claims for severance or other benefits tied to termination or furloughs as a result of reduced operations prompted by the effects of the pandemic; and

•the reduction in our cash flows caused the suspension of dividends during the first quarter of 2020, and continued suspension through the second quarter of 2020, and could impact our ability to pay dividends to our stockholders at expected levels in the future.

The rapid development and fluidity of the COVID-19 pandemic makes it extremely difficult to assess its full adverse economic impact, and future impact, on our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and performance. In addition, an outbreak of another disease or similar public health threat, or fear of such an event, that affects travel demand, travel behavior or travel restrictions could have a material adverse impact on the Company's business, financial condition and operating results. Outbreaks of other diseases could also result in increased government restrictions and regulation, such as those actions described above or otherwise, which could adversely affect our operations.

The potential effects of the COVID-19 pandemic also could intensify or otherwise affect many of our other risk factors that are included in Part 1-Item 1A. Risk Factors of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 (the "Annual Report"). Because the COVID-19 situation is unprecedented and continuously evolving, the other potential impacts to our risk factors that are further described in our Annual Report are uncertain.
