Service Properties Trust 10-Q

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and with our 2020 Annual Report. Overview (dollar amounts in thousands, except share amounts and per-room hotel data) We are a REIT organized under the laws of the State of Maryland. As of June 30, 2021, we owned 1,100 properties in 47 states, the District of Columbia, Canada and Puerto Rico. Business Environment and Outlook. Since March 2020, the lodging industry and other industries in which our managers and tenants operate have been adversely impacted by the COVID-19 global pandemic, along with federal, state and local government mandates intended to contain and mitigate the spread of COVID-19 and market reactions to the pandemic. The effects of COVID-19 continue to have a significant negative impact on our results of operations, financial position and cash flow. Although lodging demand improved during the second quarter of 2021 when compared to 2020 levels, we cannot predict with certainty when business levels may return to historical levels. We currently expect that the recovery with respect to business transient and group business will be gradual and likely inconsistent. We currently expect the recovery of the U.S. hospitality industry to be a multi-year process and to remain uneven. In addition, consumer confidence and lodging demand will continue to be affected by unemployment, perceptions of the safety of returning to normal activities, the continued use of video conferencing technologies rather than in person meetings and broader macroeconomic trends. For more information and risks relating to the COVID-19 pandemic on us and our business, see Part I, Item 1, “Business—Impact of COVID-19” and Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors”, of our 2020 Annual Report. Our manager, RMR LLC, has taken various actions in response to the COVID-19 pandemic to address its operating and financial impact on us. In addition, we are continuing to closely monitor the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on all aspects of our business. For more information regarding these actions and monitoring activities, see our 2020 Annual Report. Management agreements and leases . At June 30, 2021, we owned 304 hotels operated under six agreements. We leased these hotels to our wholly owned TRSs that are managed by hotel operating companies. We own 796 service-oriented properties with 171 tenants subject to “triple net” leases, where the tenants are generally responsible for the payment of operating expenses and capital expenditures. Our condensed consolidated statements of income (loss) include hotel operating revenues and hotel operating expenses from our managed hotels and rental income and other operating expenses from our leased hotels and net lease properties. In February and March 2021, we transitioned the branding and management of 88 hotels to Sonesta from Marriott and, in June 2021, we transitioned the branding and management of five hotels to Sonesta from Hyatt. For further information regarding these transfers, see Note 5 to our condensed consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. On June 7, 2021, we and Hyatt amended our Hyatt agreement. Under the amended agreement, Hyatt will continue to manage 17 of the 22 hotels we own for a 10-year term effective April 1, 2021. For further information regarding our Hyatt agreement, see Note 5 to our condensed consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We and Radisson are currently in discussions regarding possible changes to our Radisson agreement that may result in some or all of the hotels remaining Radisson managed. However, if such discussions do not result in a mutually acceptable agreement for Radisson to continue to manage some or all of these hotels, we expect to transition management of those hotels to Sonesta. For further information on our Radisson and Sonesta agreements, see Notes 5 and 9 to our condensed consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. 21 Table of Contents Hotel Portfolio. As of June 30, 2021, we owned 304 hotels. In the second quarter of 2021, the U.S. hotel industry generally realized increases in average daily rate, or ADR, revenue per available room, or RevPAR, and occupancy compared to 2020. During the quarter ended June 30, 2021, our 304 hotels that we owned as of June 30, 2021 produced aggregate quarter over quarter increases in ADR, RevPAR and occupancy. The following table provides a summary of these revenue metrics for the periods presented which we believe are key indicators of performance at our hotels. Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, 2021 2020 Change 2021 2020 Change All Hotels No. of hotels 304 304 — 304 304 — No. of rooms or suites 48,439 48,439 — 48,439 48,439 — Occupancy 56.6 % 27.6 % 29.0 pts 48.3 % 42.2 % 6.1 pts ADR $ 100.72 $ 85.52 17.8 % $ 95.54 $ 112.43 (15.0) % RevPAR $ 57.01 $ 23.60 141.5 % $ 46.15 $ 47.45 (2.7) % Comparable hotels data . We present RevPAR, ADR and occupancy for the periods presented on a comparable basis to facilitate comparisons between periods. We generally define comparable hotels as those that were owned by us and were open and operating for the entire periods being compared. For the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, our comparable results exclude 21 hotels that had suspended operations during part of the periods presented. For the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, SVC’s comparable results exclude 22 hotels that had suspended operations during part of the periods presented. The following table provides a summary of these revenue metrics for the periods presented. Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, 2021 2020 Change 2021 2020 Change Comparable Hotels No. of hotels 283 283 — 282 282 — No. of rooms or suites 42,414 42,414 — 42,292 42,292 — Occupancy 57.9 % 30.6 % 27.3 pts 49.6 % 44.2 % 5.4 pts ADR $ 92.59 $ 84.61 9.4 % $ 89.13 $ 106.21 (16.1) % RevPAR $ 53.61 $ 25.89 107.1 % $ 44.21 $ 46.94 (5.8) % We believe these results are primarily due to the improved lodging fundamentals in the current year periods and disruption and displacement at certain of our hotels as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic that negatively affected results in the prior year periods. Net Lease Portfolio . As of June 30, 2021, we owned 796 net lease service-oriented retail properties with 13,440,784 square feet leased to 171 tenants subject to “triple net” leases (where the tenants are responsible for payments of operating expenses and capital expenditures) requiring annual minimum rent of $371,907. Our net lease portfolio was 98.5% occupied as of June 30, 2021 with a weighted (by annual minimum rent) lease term of 10.5 years, operating under 130 brands in 21 distinct industries. TA is our largest tenant. As of June 30, 2021, we leased 179 travel centers to TA under five master leases that expire between 2029 and 2035 and require annual minimum rents of $246,110. Additional details of our hotel operating agreements and our net lease agreements are set forth in Notes 5 and 9 to our condensed consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in the tables and notes thereto below. Acquisitions and Dispositions. In March 2021, we acquired a land parcel adjacent to a property we own in Nashville, TN for a purchase price of $7,709, including acquisition related costs. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, we sold six hotels with 576 rooms for $32,016, excluding closing costs, and three net lease properties with 38,041 square feet for $2,035, excluding closing costs. 22 Table of Contents Results of Operations (dollar amounts in thousands, except share amounts) Three Months Ended June 30, 2021 compared to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2020 Transition costs For the Three Months Ended June 30, Increase % Increase 2021 2020 (Decrease) (Decrease) Revenues: Hotel operating revenues $ 280,135 $ 117,356 $ 162,779 138.7 % Rental income - hotels 245 1,992 (1,747) (87.7) % Rental income - net lease 95,556 95,592 (36) — % Total revenues 375,936 214,940 160,996 74.9 % Expenses: Hotel operating expenses 243,183 46,957 196,226 417.9 % Other operating expenses 3,904 3,565 339 9.5 % Depreciation and amortization - hotels 66,582 67,898 (1,316) (1.9) % Depreciation and amortization - net lease 55,095 59,529 (4,434) (7.4) % Total depreciation and amortization 121,677 127,427 (5,750) (4.5) % General and administrative 13,952 11,302 2,650 23.4 % Transaction related costs 6,151 — 6,151 n/m Loss on asset impairment 899 28,514 (27,615) (96.8) % Total expenses 389,766 217,765 172,001 79.0 % Other operating income: Gain (Loss) on sale of real estate, net 10,849 (2,853) 13,702 480.3 % Gain on insurance settlement — 62,386 (62,386) (100.0) % Unrealized gain on equity securities, net 2,500 3,848 (1,348) (35.0) % Interest income 225 15 210 n/m Interest expense (91,378) (72,072) (19,306) (26.8) % Loss on early extinguishment of debt — (6,970) 6,970 100.0 % Loss before income taxes and equity in earnings (losses) of an investee (91,634) (18,471) (73,163) (396.1) % Income tax expense (211) (16,660) 16,449 98.7 % Equity in earnings (losses) of an investee 735 (2,218) 2,953 133.1 % Net loss $ (91,110) $ (37,349) $ (53,761) (143.9) % Weighted average shares outstanding (basic and diluted) 164,506 164,382 124 0.1 % Net loss per common share (basic and diluted) $ (0.55) $ (0.23) $ (0.32) (139.1) % References to changes in the income and expense categories below relate to the comparison of consolidated results for the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020. Hotel operating revenues. The increase in hotel operating revenues is primarily as a result of higher occupancies at certain of our hotels in the 2021 period and the negative impact the COVID-19 pandemic had on our hotels in the 2020 period ($168,408), partially offset by the sale of certain hotels since April 1, 2020 ($5,629). Additional operating statistics of our hotels are included in the table on page 29. Rental income - hotels. The decrease in rental income – hotels is primarily the result of the conversion of one hotel from a leased to managed property during 2020. Rental income - net lease. The decrease in rental income - net lease is primarily the result of certain vacancies and lease restructurings ($2,885) and the sale of certain net lease properties since April 1, 2020 ($898), partially offset by of lower reserves for uncollectible rents in the 2021 period ($3,819). 23 Table of Contents Hotel operating expenses. The increase in hotel operating expenses is a result of an increase in occupancy at certain managed hotels ($60,867), an increase in wages and benefits ($24,422) and a decrease in the amount of guaranty and security deposit utilization under certain of our hotel management agreements ($115,848), partially offset by the sale of certain hotels since April 1, 2020 ($4,911). Hotel operating expenses were decreased by $5,306 and $121,155 during the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, as a result of such guaranty and security deposit utilization. Other operating expenses. The increase in other operating expenses is primarily the result of higher carrying costs at vacant properties. Depreciation and amortization - hotels. The decrease in depreciation and amortization - hotels is a result of certain of our depreciable assets becoming fully depreciated since April 1, 2020 ($4,006) and the sale of certain hotels since April 1, 2020 ($1,591), partially offset by an increase in depreciation expense from capital improvements made since April 1, 2020 ($4,281). Depreciation and amortization - net lease. The decrease in depreciation and amortization - net lease is a result of our net lease dispositions since April 1, 2020 ($3,668) and certain of our depreciable assets becoming fully depreciated since April 1, 2020 ($766). General and administrative. The increase in general and administrative costs is primarily due to an increase in business management fees as a result of an increase in market capitalization ($2,331) and professional service expenses ($319) in the 2021 period. Transaction related cos ts. Transaction related costs for the three months ended June 30, 2021 includes $3,700 of working capital we previously funded under our Hyatt agreement as a result of the amount no longer expected to be recoverable, $1,110 of legal costs related to the arbitration claim against Marriott and $1,341 of costs related to the rebranding of certain hotels. Loss on asset impairment. We recorded a $899 loss on asset impairment during the three months ended June 30, 2021 to reduce the carrying value of three net lease properties to their estimated fair value less costs to sell and a $28,514 loss on asset impairment during the three months ended June 30, 2020 to reduce the carrying value of 17 hotels and four net lease properties to their estimated fair value less costs to sell. Gain (loss) on sale of real estate, net. We recorded a $10,849 net gain on sale of real estate during the three months ended June 30, 2021 in connection with the sale of six hotels and two net lease properties and a $2,853 net loss on sale of real estate during the three months ended June 30, 2020 in connection with the sales of four net lease properties. Gain on insurance settlement. We recorded a $62,386 gain on insurance settlement during the three months ended June 30, 2020 for insurance proceeds received for our then leased hotel in San Juan, PR related to Hurricane Maria. Under GAAP, we were required to increase the building basis of this hotel for the amount of the insurance proceeds. Unrealized gain on equity securities, net. Unrealized gain on equity securities, net represents the adjustment required to adjust the carrying value of our investment in shares of TA common stock to its fair value as of June 30, 2021 and 2020. Interest income. The increase in interest income is due to higher average cash balances during the 2021 period. Interest expense. The increase in interest expense is due to higher average outstanding borrowings and a higher weighted average interest rate in the 2021 period. Loss on early extinguishment of debt. Loss on early extinguishment of debt represents costs incurred in 2020 for our repurchase of certain unsecured senior notes. Income tax expense. We recognized lower income taxes during the 2021 period primarily due to a decrease in the amount of state and foreign sourced income subject to income taxes. We recorded a $15,650 deferred tax liability as a result of the book value to tax basis difference related to the accounting of an insurance settlement during the three months ended June 30, 2020. Equity in earnings (losses) of an investee. Equity in earnings (losses) of an investee represents our proportionate share of the earnings and losses of Sonesta. Net loss. Our net loss and net loss per common share (basic and diluted) each increased in the 2021 period compared to the 2020 period primarily due to the revenue and expense changes discussed above. 24 Table of Contents Six Months Ended June 30, 2021 compared to the Six Months Ended June 30, 2020 For the Six Months Ended June 30, Increase % Increase 2021 2020 (Decrease) (Decrease) Revenues: Hotel operating revenues $ 449,088 $ 500,859 $ (51,771) (10.3) % Rental income - hotels 701 2,573 (1,872) (72.8) % Rental income - net lease portfolio 187,317 195,284 (7,967) (4.1) % Total revenues 637,106 698,716 (61,610) (8.8) % Expenses: Hotel operating expenses 438,536 318,105 120,431 37.9 % Other operating expenses 7,321 7,324 (3) n/m Depreciation and amortization - hotels 134,707 135,438 (731) (0.5) % Depreciation and amortization - net lease portfolio 111,338 119,915 (8,577) (7.2) % Total depreciation and amortization 246,045 255,353 (9,308) (3.6) % General and administrative 26,609 25,326 1,283 5.1 % Transaction related costs 25,785 — 25,785 n/m Loss on asset impairment 2,110 45,254 (43,144) 95.3 % Total expenses 746,406 651,362 95,044 14.6 % Other operating income: Gain (loss) on sale of real estate, net 10,840 (9,764) 20,604 211.0 % Gain on insurance settlement — 62,386 (62,386) (100.0) % Unrealized loss on equity securities, net (3,981) (1,197) (2,784) (232.6) % Interest income 282 277 5 1.8 % Interest expense (180,769) (143,147) (37,622) (26.3) % Loss on early extinguishment of debt — (6,970) 6,970 100.0 % Income before income taxes and equity in losses of an investee (282,928) (51,061) (231,867) n/m Income tax expense (1,064) (17,002) 15,938 n/m Equity in losses of an investee (2,108) (2,936) 828 n/m Net loss $ (286,100) $ (70,999) $ (215,101) n/m Weighted average shares outstanding (basic and diluted) 164,502 164,376 126 0.1 % Net loss per common share (basic and diluted) $ (1.74) $ (0.43) $ (1.31) n/m References to changes in the income and expense categories below relate to the comparison of consolidated results for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020. Hotel operating revenues. The decrease in hotel operating revenues is a result of decreased occupancies at certain of our managed hotels primarily as a result of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic starting in March 2020 ($37,718) and the sale of certain of our hotels since January 1, 2020 ($14,053). Additional operating statistics of our hotels are included in the table on page 29. Rental income - hotels. The decrease in rental income - hotels is primarily a result of the conversion of one hotel from a leased to managed property during 2020. Rental income - net lease portfolio. The decrease in rental income - net lease is primarily the result of the sale of properties since January 1, 2020 ($4,765), rent adjustments and restructuring and a decrease in below market lease revenue amortizations ($2,849) and certain tenant vacancies ($353). 25 Table of Contents Hotel operating expenses. The increase in hotel operating expenses is primarily as a result of a decrease in the amount of guaranty and security deposit utilization under certain of our hotel management agreements ($175,962), partially offset by a decrease in hotel operating expenses as a result of a decrease in occupancy at certain managed hotels primarily as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic ($49,361), a decrease in wage and benefit costs, sales and marketing expenses at certain of our managed hotels ($3,746), and a decrease in real estate taxes at certain of our hotels ($2,424). Hotel operating expenses were decreased by $15,696 and $191,661 during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, as a result of such guaranty and security deposit utilization. Other operating expenses. The decrease in other operating expenses is primarily the result of sale of certain net lease properties since January 1, 2020. Depreciation and amortization - hotels. The decrease in depreciation and amortization - hotels is a result of certain of our depreciable assets becoming fully depreciated since January 1, 2020 ($8,371) and our hotel dispositions since January 1, 2020 ($3,030), partially offset by depreciation and amortization of improvements acquired with funds from our FF&E reserves or directly funded by us since January 1, 2020 ($10,670). Depreciation and amortization - net lease portfolio. The decrease in depreciation and amortization - net lease portfolio is a result of the depreciation and amortization of properties that were sold since January 1, 2020 ($7,024) and by certain of our depreciable assets becoming fully depreciated since January 1, 2020 ($1,553). General and administrative. The increase in general and administrative costs is primarily due to higher business management fees as a result of increase in our market capitalization ($2,070), partially offset by lower professional fees ($787) in the 2021 period. Transaction related cos ts. Transaction related costs for the six months ended June 30, 2021 includes $3,700 of working capital we previously funded under our Hyatt agreement as a result of the amount no longer expected to be recoverable, $2,257 of legal costs related to the arbitration claim against Marriott and $19,828 of costs related to rebranding certain hotels. Loss on asset impairment. We recorded a $2,110 loss on asset impairment during the six months ended June 30, 2021 to reduce the carrying value of five net lease properties to their estimated fair value less costs to sell. We recorded a $45,254 loss on asset impairment during the six months ended June 30, 2020 to reduce the carrying value of 17 hotels and six net lease properties to their estimated fair value. Gain (loss) on sale of real estate, net. We recorded a $10,840 net gain on sale of real estate in the 2021 period in connection with the sales of six hotels and three net lease properties and a $9,764 net loss on sale of real estate in connection with the sales of ten net lease properties during the six months ended June 30, 2020. Gain on insurance settlement. In the 2020 period we recorded a $62,386 gain on insurance settlement as a result of insurance proceeds received for our then leased hotel in San Juan, PR related to Hurricane Maria. Unrealized loss on equity securities, net. Unrealized loss on equity securities, net represents the adjustment required to adjust the carrying value of our investment in shares of TA common stock to its fair value as of June 30, 2021 and 2020. Interest income. The increase in interest income is due to higher average cash balances during the 2021 period. Interest expense. The increase in interest expense is due to higher average outstanding borrowings and weighted average interest rates in the 2021 period. Loss on early extinguishment of debt . Loss on early extinguishment of debt represents losses incurred in the 2020 period for our repurchase of certain unsecured senior notes. Income tax expense. We recorded a $15,650 deferred tax liability as a result of the book value to tax basis difference related to the accounting of an insurance settlement in the 2020 period. Equity in earnings (losses) of an investee. Equity in earnings (losses) of an investee represents our proportionate share of the earnings (losses) of Sonesta. Net loss. Our net loss and net loss per common share (basic and diluted) each increased in the 2021 period compared to the 2020 period primarily due to the revenue and expense changes discussed above. 26 Table of Contents Liquidity and Capital Resources (dollar amounts in thousands, except share amounts) Our Managers and Tenants As of June 30, 2021, 304 of our hotels were managed by five hotel operating companies pursuant to six combination portfolio agreements. Our 796 net lease properties were leased to 171 tenants as of June 30, 2021. The costs of operating and maintaining our properties are generally paid by the hotel managers as agents for us or by our tenants for their own account. Our hotel managers and tenants derive their funding for property operating expenses and for returns and rents due to us generally from property operating revenues and, to the extent that these parties themselves fund our minimum returns and rents, from their separate resources. As of June 30, 2021, our hotel managers included Sonesta (261 hotels), Hyatt (17 hotels), Radisson (nine hotels), Marriott (16 hotels) and IHG (one hotel). TA is our largest tenant (179 travel centers). The COVID-19 pandemic has had a material and adverse effect on the lodging and service industries and on our hotel managers’ and tenants’ businesses, which may reduce their ability or willingness to pay us our minimum returns and rents, increase the likelihood they will default in paying us returns and rent and reduce the value of those properties. We continue to carefully monitor the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on our operators and our other stakeholders. As of January 1, 2021, Marriott managed 105 of our hotels under agreements we had terminated in 2020 for Marriott’s failure to pay the cumulative shortfall between the payments we had received and 80% of the cumulative priority returns due to us in accordance with the agreement. We transitioned the branding and management of 88 Marriott hotels to Sonesta in February 2021 and March 2021. We sold one Marriott hotel in April 2021. As of June 30, 2021 , Marriott managed 16 of our hotels. For further information regarding this sale, see the Notes to condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We are in arbitration proceedings with Marriott regarding, among other things, the timing and characterization of certain payments made to us, including Marriott’s assertion that we are required to refund $19,120 of minimum return advances made to us in 2020, and the validity of the timing of the termination of the Marriott agreements, including an exit hotel agreement which, if not terminated, would require us to sell the 16 hotels encumbered with a Marriott brand. We are also seeking repayment of certain working capital advances we made to Marriott during 2020. We have entered an agreement with Marriott regarding the 16 hotels noted above, pursuant to which we agreed to have these hotels remain Marriott branded hotels until the arbitration is resolved. On June 7, 2021, we and Hyatt amended our Hyatt agreement. Under the amended agreement, Hyatt will continue to manage 17 of the 22 hotels we own for a 10-year term effective April 1, 2021. The agreement sets our annual minimum return at $12,000, and Hyatt provided us with a new $30,000 limited guarantee for 75% of the aggregate annual minimum returns due to us beginning in 2023. Under the amended agreement a management fee of 5% of gross room revenues payable to Hyatt will be an operating cost paid senior to our minimum return. Hyatt may also earn a 20% incentive management fee after payment of our annual minimum return and reimbursement of certain advances, if any. We also agreed to fund approximately $50,000 of renovations that are expected to be completed by the end of 2022. We transitioned the branding and management of the remaining five hotels to Sonesta in June 2021. During the three months ended June 30, 2021, we entered into rent deferral agreements for $1,121 of rent with two net lease tenants. We had $10,564 of deferred rents outstanding related to 35 tenants who represent approximately 2.9% of our annualized rental income of our net lease retail portfolio as of June 30, 2021. Generally, these rent deferrals are payable by the tenants over a 12 months to 24 months period. We may receive additional similar requests in the future, and we may determine to grant additional relief in the future, which may vary from the type of relief we have granted to date, and could include more substantial relief, if we determine it prudent or appropriate to do so. In addition, if any of our tenants are unable to continue as going concerns as a result of the current economic conditions or otherwise, we will experience a reduction in rents received and we may be unable to find suitable replacement tenants for an extended period or at all and the terms of our leases with those replacement tenants may not be as favorable to us as the terms of our agreements with our existing tenants. As a result of these uncertainties surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic and the duration and extent of the resulting economic conditions, we are unable to determine what the ultimate impact will be on our tenants and their ability and willingness to pay us rent and any additional impact this pandemic will have on our future cash flows. During the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, we recorded reserves for uncollectible rents of $1,176 and $4,995, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, we recorded reserves for uncollectible rents of $5,960 and $5,905, respectively, based on our assessment of whether amounts due under certain tenants’ leases are probable of collection. We had reserves for uncollectible rents of $23,786 and $18,230 as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. 27 Table of Contents We define net lease coverage as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and rent, or EBITDAR, divided by the annual minimum rent due to us weighted by the minimum rent of the property to total minimum rents of the net lease portfolio. EBITDAR amounts used to determine rent coverage are generally for the latest twelve month period reported based on the most recent operating information, if any, furnished by the tenant. Operating statements furnished by the tenant often are unaudited and, in certain cases, may not have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and are not independently verified by us. Tenants that do not report operating information are excluded from the coverage calculations. In instances where we do not have financial information for our portion of the measurement period from our tenants, we have calculated an implied EBITDAR for the period using industry benchmark data to more accurately reflect the impact of COVID-19 on our tenants’ operations. We believe using only financial information from the earlier periods could be misleading as it would not reflect the negative impact those tenants experienced as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, we believe using this industry benchmark data provides a more accurate estimated representation of recent operating results and coverage for those tenants. Our net lease properties generated coverage of 2.29x and 2.16x as of June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Our Operating Liquidity and Capital Resources Our principal sources of funds to meet operating and capital expenses, debt service obligations and distributions to our shareholders are minimum returns and rents from our hotels and net lease portfolio and borrowings under our revolving credit facility. We receive minimum returns and rents from our managers and tenants monthly. We may receive additional returns, percentage rents and our share of the operating profits of our managed hotels after payment of management fees and other deductions, if any, either monthly or quarterly, and these amounts are usually subject to annual reconciliations. We believe we have sufficient liquidity to withstand the current decline in operating cash flow, fund our capital expenditures, pay debt service obligations and make distributions to our shareholders for the next twelve months and for the foreseeable future thereafter. However, our managers and tenants may become further or increasingly unable or unwilling to pay minimum returns and rents to us when due as a result of current economic conditions and, as a result, our revenue, cash flow, and net income could decline. Under the challenging operating environment posed by the COVID-19 pandemic and the slowdown in U.S. economic activity and lodging demand beginning in March 2020, we have taken steps to preserve liquidity by drawing down the remaining capacity on our $1,000,000 revolving credit facility, maintaining our quarterly distribution to our shareholders at $0.01 per share, which we expect to continue at that rate for the foreseeable future, subject to applicable REIT tax requirements, by selectively making capital expenditures, and by continuing to work with our hotel operators to reduce hotel operating expenses. We intend to use available cash in the near term predominantly to fund any operating losses at our hotels, to pay corporate expenses, including debt service, fund capital expenditures, and to pay distributions to our shareholders. As of June 30, 2021, we were not in compliance with one of our debt covenants necessary to incur additional debt, and as a result, we will not be able to incur additional debt until we meet the required covenant level. We may access equity markets or seek other sources of capital if favorable conditions exist for us in order to enhance our liquidity, reduce debt and to fund cash needs. The following is a summary of our sources and uses of cash flows for the periods presented (dollars in thousands): Six Months Ended June 30, 2021 2020 Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash at the beginning of the period $ 91,456 81,259 Net cash provided by (used in): Operating activities (21,206) 48,797 Investing activities (65,218) (74,760) Financing activities 911,593 (5,438) Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash at the end of the period $ 916,625 $ 49,858 The change from cash flows provided by operating activities in the 2020 period to cash flows used in operating activities in the 2021 period is primarily due to lower returns earned from our hotel portfolio and higher interest expense in the 2021 period. The decrease in cash flows used in investing activities in the 2021 period is primarily due to a decrease in hotel managers’ purchases with restricted cash and a decrease in real estate dispositions in the 2021 period, partially offset by an investment in Sonesta we made in the 2021 period and our receipt of a hotel manager’s deposit of insurance proceeds into restricted cash during the 2020 period. The increase in cash provided by financing activities for the 2021 period as compared to the prior year period is primarily due to a draw down of the remaining capacity on our $1,000,000 revolving credit facility, a decrease in net senior notes issuances and lower common share distributions compared to the 2020 period. 28 Table of Contents We maintain our qualification for taxation as a REIT under the IRC by meeting certain requirements. We lease 304 hotels to our wholly owned TRSs that are managed by hotel operating companies. As a REIT, we do not expect to pay federal income taxes on the majority of our income; however, the income realized by our TRSs in excess of the rent they pay to us is subject to U.S. federal income tax at corporate income tax rates. In addition, the income we receive from our hotels in Canada and Puerto Rico is subject to taxes in those jurisdictions and we are subject to taxes in certain states where we have properties despite our qualification for taxation as a REIT. Our Investment and Financing Liquidity and Capital Resources Various percentages of total sales at some of our hotels are escrowed as FF&E reserves to fund future capital improvements. We own all the FF&E escrows for our hotels. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, our hotel managers and tenants deposited $1,469 to these accounts and spent $22,959 from the FF&E reserve escrow accounts to renovate and refurbish our hotels. As of June 30, 2021, there was $1,295 on deposit in these escrow accounts, which was held directly by us and is reflected in our condensed consolidated balance sheets as restricted cash. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and the adverse impact on the lodging industry and our properties, we and certain of our hotel operators agreed to temporarily suspend the required contribution to our FF&E reserves under certain of our agreements. As a result, less cash will be available to us to fund future capital improvements and we may be required to provide additional fundings that may have otherwise been available in escrowed FF&E reserves. Such fundings are unlikely to materially increase in the near term above what we currently expect, as reduced occupancies are resulting in less usage and less wear and tear of our properties. Our hotel operating agreements generally provide that, if necessary, we may provide our managers and tenants with funding for capital improvements to our hotels in excess of amounts otherwise available in escrowed FF&E reserves or when no FF&E reserves are available. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, capital improvements in excess of FF&E reserves available to our hotels were $53,431. We currently expect to fund $100,000 for capital improvements to certain hotels during the last six months of 2021 using cash on hand. Our net lease portfolio leases do not require FF&E escrow deposits. However, tenants under these leases are required to maintain the leased properties, including structural and non-structural components. Tenants under certain of our net lease portfolio leases, including TA, may request that we purchase qualifying capital improvements to the leased facilities in return for minimum rent increases or we may agree to provide allowances for tenant improvements upon execution of new leases or when renewing our existing leases. We funded $227 of capital improvements to properties under these lease provisions during the six months ended June 30, 2021. Tenants are not obligated to request and we are not obligated to purchase any such improvements. As of June 30, 2021, we had $4,470 of unspent leasing-related obligations related to certain net lease tenants. In March 2021, we funded a $25,443 capital contribution to Sonesta related to its acquisition of Red Lion Hotels Corporation using cash on hand. In March 2021, we acquired a parcel of land adjacent to a property we own in Nashville, TN for a purchase price of $7,709 using cash on hand, including acquisition related costs of $109. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, we sold six hotels with an aggregate of 576 rooms for net proceeds of $31,214 in two separate transactions and we also sold three net lease properties with 38,041 square feet for net proceeds of $1,914. We used the net proceeds from these sales to repay amounts outstanding under our revolving credit facility and for general business purposes. We are currently marketing for sale 69 Sonesta branded hotels (46 extended stay hotels with 5,404 keys, 19 select service hotels with 2,461 keys and four full service hotels with 1,098 keys) located in 27 states with an aggregate net carrying value of $627,302 as of June 30, 2021. We expect these sales to be completed by the end of the first quarter of 2022. We also entered into agreements to sell four net lease properties with an aggregate of 20,712 square feet and an aggregate carrying value of $1,678 for an aggregate sales price of $2,165, excluding closing costs. We currently expect these sales to be completed by the end of the third quarter of 2021. We expect to use the net sales proceeds from these sales for general business purposes or to repay debt. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, we declared and paid regular quarterly distributions to common shareholders using cash on hand as follows: 29 Table of Contents Declaration Date Record Date Paid Date Dividend Per Common Share Total Distributions January 14, 2021 January 25, 2021 February 18, 2021 $ 0.01 $ 1,648 April 15, 2021 April 26, 2021 May 20, 2021 0.01 1,648 $ 0.02 $ 3,296 On July 15, 2021, we declared a regular quarterly distribution to common shareholders of record on July 26, 2021 of $0.01 per share, or $1,648. We expect to pay this amount on or about August 19, 2021 using cash on hand. In order to meet cash needs that may result from our desire or need to make distributions or pay operating or capital expenses, we maintain a $1,000,000 revolving credit facility which is governed by a credit agreement with a syndicate of institutional lenders. The maturity date of our revolving credit facility is July 15, 2022, and, subject to the payment of an extension fee and meeting certain other conditions, we have an option to extend the maturity date of this facility by two additional six-month periods. We are required to pay interest at the rate of LIBOR plus a premium, which was 235 basis points per annum, subject to a LIBOR floor of 0.50% at June 30, 2021, on the amount outstanding under our revolving credit facility. We also pay a facility fee on the total amount of lending commitments under our revolving credit facility, which was 30 basis points per annum at June 30, 2021. Both the interest rate premium and the facility fee are subject to adjustment based upon changes to our credit ratings. We can borrow, subject to meeting certain financial covenants, repay and reborrow funds available under our revolving credit facility until maturity, and no principal repayment is due until maturity. As of June 30, 2021, the annual interest rate payable on borrowings under our revolving credit facility was 2.85%. On January 19, 2021, we borrowed $972,793 under our revolving credit facility as a precautionary measure to preserve financial flexibility. As of June 30, 2021, we were fully drawn under our $1,000,000 revolving credit facility and remain fully drawn as of August 4, 2021. We and our lenders amended our credit agreement governing our $1,000,000 revolving credit facility in 2020. Among other things, the amendments waived all of the then existing financial covenants through the Waiver Period. As a result of the amendments, among other things: • we pledged certain equity interests of subsidiaries owning properties and provided first mortgage liens on 74 properties owned by certain of the pledged subsidiaries with an undepreciated book value of $1,834,420 as of June 30, 2021 to secure our obligations under the credit agreement; • we have the ability to fund up to $250,000 of capital expenditures per year and up to $50,000 of certain other investments per year as defined in the credit agreement; • we agreed to certain covenants and restrictions on distributions to common shareholders, share repurchases, incurring indebtedness, and acquiring real property (in each case subject to various exceptions); • we agreed to maintain minimum liquidity of $125,000; • we are generally required to apply the net cash proceeds from the disposition of assets, capital markets transactions and debt refinancings to repay outstanding amounts under the credit agreement, and then to other debt maturities; and • we may not, during the Waiver Period and until we demonstrate compliance with certain covenants, utilize the feature in our credit agreement pursuant to which maximum aggregate borrowings may be increased to up to $2,300,000 on a combined basis in certain circumstances. Our term debt maturities (other than our revolving credit facility) as of June 30, 2021 were as follows: 30 Table of Contents Year Maturity 2021 $ — 2022 500,000 2023 500,000 2024 1,175,000 2025 1,150,000 2026 800,000 2027 850,000 2028 400,000 2029 425,000 2030 400,000 $ 6,200,000 None of our unsecured debt obligations require principal or sinking fund payments prior to their maturity dates. We currently expect to use cash on hand, the cash flows from our operations, borrowings under our revolving credit facility (when available), net proceeds from any asset sales and net proceeds of offerings of equity or debt securities, as allowed by our existing credit agreement, to fund our operations, capital expenditures, future debt maturities, distributions to our shareholders and other general business purposes. When significant amounts are outstanding for an extended period of time under our revolving credit facility, or the maturities of our indebtedness approach, we currently expect to explore refinancing alternatives. Such alternatives may include incurring additional debt when permitted under our debt agreements, issuing new equity securities and the sale of properties. We have an effective shelf registration statement that allows us to issue public securities on an expedited basis, but it does not assure that there will be buyers for such securities. We may also seek to participate in joint ventures or other arrangements that may provide us additional sources of financing. Although we have not historically done so, we may also assume mortgage debt on properties we may acquire or obtain mortgage financing on our existing properties. While we believe we will generally have access to various types of financings, including debt or equity, to fund our future acquisitions and to pay our debts and other obligations, we cannot be sure that we will be able to complete any debt or equity offerings or other types of financings or that our cost of any future public or private financings will not increase. Also, as noted above, we are limited in our ability to incur additional debt pursuant to our debt agreements and are not permitted under our debt agreements to incur any debt while below the 1.5x debt service coverage ratio requirement under our public debt covenants as described below. Our ability to complete, and the costs associated with, future debt transactions depends primarily upon credit market conditions and our then perceived creditworthiness. We have no control over market conditions. Our credit ratings depend upon evaluations by credit rating agencies of our business practices and plans, including our ability to maintain our earnings, to stagger our debt maturities and to balance our use of debt and equity capital so that our financial performance and leverage ratios afford us flexibility to withstand any reasonably anticipated adverse changes. Similarly, our ability to raise equity capital in the future will depend primarily upon equity capital market conditions and our ability to conduct our business to maintain and grow our operating cash flows. We intend to conduct our business activities in a manner which will afford us reasonable access to capital for investment and financing activities. However, as discussed elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the continued duration and severity of the current economic conditions resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic are uncertain and may have various negative consequences on us and our operations including a decline in financing availability and increased costs for financing. Further, such conditions could also disrupt the capital markets generally and limit our access to financing from public sources or on favorable terms, particularly if the global financial markets experience significant disruptions. Off Balance Sheet Arrangements As of June 30, 2021, we had no off balance sheet arrangements that have had or that we expect would be reasonably likely to have a material effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources. 31 Table of Contents Debt Covenants Our debt obligations at June 30, 2021 consisted of outstanding borrowings under our $1,000,000 revolving credit facility and $6,200,000 of publicly issued term debt. Our publicly issued term debt is governed by our indentures and related supplements. These indentures and related supplements and our credit agreement contain covenants that generally restrict our ability to incur debts, including debts secured by mortgages on our properties, in excess of calculated amounts, and require us to maintain various financial ratios and our credit agreement currently restricts our ability to make certain investments and limits our distributions under certain circumstances. Our credit agreement and our unsecured senior notes, indentures and their supplements provide for acceleration of payment of all amounts outstanding upon the occurrence and continuation of certain events of default, such as, in the case of our credit agreement, a change of control of us, which includes RMR LLC ceasing to act as our business manager. As of June 30, 2021, we believe we were in compliance with all of the covenants under our indentures and their supplements and our credit agreement, subject to the waivers and except as noted above and below. Senior Notes Indenture Covenants The following table summarizes the results of the financial tests required by the indentures and related supplements for our senior unsecured notes as of June 30, 2021: Actual Results Covenant Requirement Total debt / adjusted total assets 55.6% Maximum of 60% Secured debt / adjusted total assets 7.7% Maximum of 40% Consolidated income available for debt service / debt service 1.00x Minimum of 1.50x Total unencumbered assets / unsecured debt 179.1% Minimum 150% The above consolidated income available for debt service to debt service ratio as of June 30, 2021 is based on results for the first and second quarters of 2021 and third and fourth quarters of 2020. This ratio was 2.05x as of September 30, 2020, 1.56x as of December 31, 2020, 1.12x as of March 31, 2021 and 1.00x as of June 30, 2021, which is below the required level. We are not permitted under our debt agreements to incur additional debt while we remain below the required covenant level. Acceleration and Cross-Default Neither our indentures and their supplements nor our credit agreement contain provisions for acceleration which could be triggered by a change in our debt ratings. However, under our credit agreement, our highest senior debt rating is used to determine the fees and interest rates we pay. Accordingly, if that debt rating is downgraded, our interest expense and related costs under our revolving credit facility would increase. Our public debt indentures and their supplements contain cross default provisions to any other debt of $20,000 or more ($50,000 or more in the case of our indenture entered into in February 2016 and its supplements). Similarly, our credit agreement has cross default provisions to other indebtedness that is recourse of $25,000 or more and indebtedness that is non-recourse of $75,000 or more. Supplemental Guarantor Information Our $800,000 of 7.50% unsecured senior notes due 2025, or the 2025 Notes, and our $450,000 of 5.5% unsecured senior notes due 2027, or the 2027 Notes, are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, on a joint and several basis and on a senior unsecured basis, by all of our subsidiaries, except for certain excluded subsidiaries, including our foreign subsidiaries and our subsidiaries pledged under our credit agreement. The notes and the guarantees will be effectively subordinated to all of our and the subsidiary guarantors' secured indebtedness, respectively, to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such secured indebtedness, and will be structurally subordinated to all indebtedness and other liabilities and any preferred equity of any of our subsidiaries that do not guarantee the notes. Our remaining $4,950,000 of senior unsecured notes do not have the benefit of any guarantees. A subsidiary guarantor's guarantee of the 2025 Notes and 2027 Notes and all other obligations of such subsidiary guarantor under the indentures governing the notes will automatically terminate and such subsidiary guarantor will automatically be released from all of its obligations under such subsidiary guarantee and such indenture under certain circumstances, including on or after the date on which (a) the notes have received a rating equal to or higher than Baa2 (or the equivalent) by Moody’s Investors Service, or Moody’s, or BBB (or the equivalent) by Standard & Poor’s, or S&P, or if Moody’s or S&P ceases to rate the notes for reasons outside of our control, the equivalent investment grade rating from any other rating agency and (b) no 32 Table of Contents default or event of default has occurred and is continuing under the indenture. Our non-guarantor subsidiaries are separate and distinct legal entities and will have no obligation, contingent or otherwise, to pay any amounts due on these notes or the guarantees, or to make any funds available therefor, whether by dividend, distribution, loan or other payments. The rights of holders of these notes to benefit from any of the assets of our non-guarantor subsidiaries are subject to the prior satisfaction of claims of those subsidiaries' creditors and any preferred equity holders. As a result, these notes and the related guarantees will be structurally subordinated to all indebtedness, guarantees and other liabilities of our subsidiaries that do not guarantee these notes, including guarantees of or pledges under other indebtedness of ours, payment obligations under lease agreements, trade payables and preferred equity. The following table presents summarized financial information for us and the subsidiary guarantors, on a combined basis after elimination of (i) intercompany transactions and balances among us and the subsidiary guarantors and (ii) equity in earnings from, and any investments in, any of our non-guarantor subsidiaries: As of June 30, 2021 As of December 31, 2020 Real estate properties, net (1) $ 5,758,302 $ 5,871,790 Intercompany balances (2) 205,956 800,198 Other assets, net 1,572,543 677,408 Indebtedness, net $ 7,136,554 $ 6,208,590 Other liabilities 376,245 341,907 Six Months Ended June 30, 2021 Revenues $ 341,310 Expenses 442,687 Net income (loss) (101,377) (1) Real estate properties, net as of June 30, 2021 includes $770,507 of properties owned directly by us and not included in the assets of the subsidiary guarantors. (2) Intercompany balances represent receivables from non-guarantor subsidiaries. Management Agreements, Leases and Operating Statistics (dollar amounts in thousands, except hotel statistics) As of June 30, 2021, we owned and managed a diverse portfolio of hotels and net lease properties across the United States and in Puerto Rico and Canada with 142 brands across 22 industries.

For further information about these and other such relationships and related person transactions, see Notes 5, 8 and 9 t o our Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our 2020 Annual Report, our definitive Proxy Statement for our 2021 Annual Meeting of Shareholders and our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC. In addition, see the section captioned “Risk Factors” in our 2020 Annual Report for a description of risks that may arise as a result of these and other related person transactions and relationships. We may engage in additional transactions with related persons, including businesses to which RMR LLC or its subsidiaries provide management services. Non-GAAP Financial Measures We present certain “non-GAAP financial measures” within the meaning of the applicable SEC rules, including funds from operations, or FFO, and normalized funds from operations, or Normalized FFO. These measures do not represent cash generated by operating activities in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered alternatives to net income (loss) as indicators of our operating performance or as measures of our liquidity. These measures should be considered in conjunction with net income (loss) as presented in our condensed consolidated statements of income (loss). We consider these non-GAAP measures to be appropriate supplemental measures of operating performance for a REIT, along with net income (loss). We believe these measures provide useful information to investors because by excluding the effects of certain historical amounts, such as depreciation and amortization expense, they may facilitate a comparison of our operating performance between periods and with other REITs. Funds From Operations and Normalized Funds From Operations We calculate FFO and Normalized FFO as shown below. FFO is calculated on the basis defined by The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, which is net income (loss), calculated in accordance with GAAP, excluding any gain or loss on sale of properties and loss on impairment of real estate assets, if any, plus real estate depreciation and amortization, less any unrealized gains and losses on equity securities, as well as adjustments to reflect our share of FFO attributable to an investee and certain other adjustments currently not applicable to us. In calculating Normalized FFO, we adjust for the items shown below. FFO and Normalized FFO are among the factors considered by our Board of Trustees when determining the amount of distributions to our shareholders. Other factors include, but are not limited to, requirements to satisfy our REIT distribution requirements, limitations in our credit agreement and public debt covenants, the availability to us of debt and equity capital, our distribution rate as a percentage of the trading price of our common shares, or dividend yield, and to the dividend yield of other REITs, our expectation of our future capital requirements and operating performance and our expected needs for and availability of cash to pay our obligations. Other real estate companies and REITs may calculate FFO and Normalized FFO differently than we do. 39 Table of Contents Our calculations of FFO and Normalized FFO for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 and reconciliations of net income, the most directly comparable financial measure under GAAP reported in our condensed consolidated financial statements, to those amounts appear in the following table (amounts in thousands, except per share amounts).
