ASHFORD HOSPITALITY TRUST, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
1. Organization and Description of Business
Ashford Hospitality Trust, Inc., together with its subsidiaries (“Ashford Trust”), is a real estate investment trust (“REIT”). While our portfolio currently consists of upscale hotels and upper upscale full-service hotels, our investment strategy is predominantly focused on investing in upper upscale full-service hotels in the United States that have revenue per available room (“RevPAR”) generally less than twice the U.S. national average, and in all methods including direct real estate, equity, and debt. We currently anticipate future investments will predominantly be in upper upscale hotels. We own our lodging investments and conduct our business through Ashford Hospitality Limited Partnership (“Ashford Trust OP”), our operating partnership. Ashford OP General Partner LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Ashford Trust, serves as the sole general partner of our operating partnership. Terms such as the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our” refer to Ashford Hospitality Trust, Inc. and, as the context may require, all entities included in its consolidated financial statements.
Our hotel properties are primarily branded under the widely recognized upscale and upper upscale brands of Hilton, Hyatt, Marriott and Intercontinental Hotel Group. As of March 31, 2025, we held interests in the following assets:
•67 consolidated operating hotel properties, which represent 16,736 total rooms;
•one consolidated operating hotel property, which represents 188 total rooms through a 29.3% owned investment in a consolidated entity;
•four consolidated operating hotel properties, which represent 405 total rooms owned through a 98.7% ownership interest in Stirling REIT OP, LP (“Stirling OP”), which was formed by Stirling Hotels & Resorts, Inc. (“Stirling Inc.”) to acquire and own a diverse portfolio of stabilized income-producing hotels and resorts; and
•an investment in an entity that owns the Meritage Resort and Spa and the Grand Reserve at the Meritage (the “Meritage Investment”) in Napa, California, with a carrying value of approximately $7.2 million.
For U.S. federal income tax purposes, we have elected to be treated as a REIT, which imposes limitations related to operating hotels. As of March 31, 2025, our 68 operating hotel properties and four Stirling OP hotel properties were leased or owned by our wholly-owned or majority-owned subsidiaries that are treated as taxable REIT subsidiaries for U.S. federal income tax purposes (collectively, these subsidiaries are referred to as “Ashford TRS”). Ashford TRS then engages third-party or affiliated hotel management companies to operate the hotels under management contracts. Hotel operating results related to these properties are included in the consolidated statements of operations.
We are advised by Ashford Hospitality Advisors LLC (“Ashford LLC”), a subsidiary of Ashford Inc., through an advisory agreement. Our 68 operating hotel properties and four Stirling OP hotel properties in our consolidated portfolio are currently asset-managed by Ashford LLC. We do not have any employees. All of the services that might be provided by employees are provided to us by Ashford LLC.
We do not operate any of our hotel properties directly; instead, we contractually engage hotel management companies to operate them for us under management contracts. Remington Lodging & Hospitality, LLC (“Remington Hospitality”), a subsidiary of Ashford Inc., manages 50 of our 68 operating hotel properties and three of the four Stirling OP hotel properties. Third-party management companies manage the remaining hotel properties.
Ashford Inc. also provides other products and services to us or our hotel properties through certain entities in which Ashford Inc. has an ownership interest. These products and services include, but are not limited to, design and construction services, debt placement and related services, audiovisual services, real estate advisory and brokerage services, insurance policies covering general liability, workers’ compensation and business automobile claims and insurance claims services, hypoallergenic premium rooms, watersport activities, broker-dealer and distribution services, mobile key technology and cash management services.

ASHFORD HOSPITALITY TRUST, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
(unaudited)
On September 27, 2024, our board of directors approved a reverse stock split of our issued and outstanding common stock at a ratio of 1-for-10. This reverse stock split converted every ten issued and outstanding shares of common stock into one share of common stock. The reverse stock split was effective as of the close of business on October 25, 2024. As a result of the reverse stock split, the number of outstanding shares of common stock was reduced from approximately 55.2 million shares to approximately 5.5 million shares. Additionally, the number of outstanding common units, Long-Term Incentive Plan (“LTIP”) units and Performance LTIP units was reduced from approximately 2.1 million units to approximately 208,000 units. All common stock, common units, LTIP units, Performance LTIP units, performance stock units and restricted stock units as well as per share data related to these classes of equity have been revised in the accompanying consolidated financial statements to reflect this reverse stock split for all periods presented.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation—The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Ashford Hospitality Trust, Inc., its majority-owned subsidiaries, and its majority-owned joint ventures in which it has a controlling interest. All inter-company accounts and transactions between consolidated entities have been eliminated in these consolidated financial statements. We have condensed or omitted certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP in the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements. We believe the disclosures made herein are adequate to prevent the information presented from being misleading. However, the financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our 2024 Annual Report to Stockholders on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 21, 2025.
Ashford Trust OP is considered to be a variable interest entity (“VIE”), as defined by authoritative accounting guidance. A VIE must be consolidated by a reporting entity if the reporting entity is the primary beneficiary because it has (i) the power to direct the VIE’s activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE. All major decisions related to Ashford Trust OP that most significantly impact its economic performance, including, but not limited to, operating procedures with respect to business affairs and any acquisitions, dispositions, financings, restructurings or other transactions with sellers, purchasers, lenders, brokers, agents and other applicable representatives, are subject to the approval of our wholly owned subsidiary, Ashford OP General Partner LLC, its general partner. As such, we consolidate Ashford Trust OP.
815 Commerce Managing Member, LLC (“815 Commerce MM”) is considered to be a VIE, as defined by authoritative accounting guidance. On May 31, 2023, Ashford Trust obtained the ability to exercise its kick-out rights of the manager of 815 Commerce MM, which developed the Le Meridien hotel in Fort Worth, Texas. As a result, Ashford Trust became the primary beneficiary and began consolidating 815 Commerce MM. During 2023, the Company entered into a loan agreement with the manager of 815 Commerce MM to satisfy a balancing deposit that was required by the property construction lender. As of March 31, 2025, the Company has funded $8.8 million.
The Company has a Contribution Agreement with Stirling OP, a subsidiary of Stirling Inc. Pursuant to the terms of the Contribution Agreement, the Company contributed its equity interests, and the associated debt and other obligations, in Residence Inn Manchester, Hampton Inn Buford, SpringHill Suites Buford and Residence Inn Jacksonville to Stirling OP in exchange for 1.4 million Class I units of Stirling OP.
The Company determined Ashford Trust is the primary beneficiary of Stirling OP in contemplation of: 1) the related party group comprising of: (i) Ashford Trust and (ii) the stockholders who have control over the election or removal of the board of directors of Stirling Inc. that have power to direct the most significant activities of Stirling OP; and 2) the consideration that substantially all the economics are held by the Company through its equity interest, and substantially all of the activities are performed on the Company’s behalf. As such, the properties and debt continue to be reflected on the Company's balance sheet at their historical carrying values. As of March 31, 2025, Ashford Trust remains the primary beneficiary and continues to consolidate Stirling OP.
Historical seasonality patterns at some of our hotel properties cause fluctuations in our overall operating results. Consequently, operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2025.

Use of Estimates—The preparation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Recently Issued Accounting Standard s—In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2023-09 Income Taxes (Topics 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures to expand the disclosure requirements for income taxes, specifically related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. ASU 2023-09 is effective for our annual periods beginning January 1, 2025, with early adoption permitted. The amendments in this ASU may be applied prospectively by providing the revised disclosures for the period ending December 31, 2025 and continuing to provide the pre-ASU disclosures for the prior periods, or the amendments may be applied retrospectively by providing the revised disclosures for all periods presented. As of March 31, 2025, the Company has not adopted this ASU. The adoption of this ASU is expected to only impact disclosures with respect to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40) Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses that requires more detailed information about specified categories of expenses (purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, amortization and depletion) included in certain expense captions presented on the face of the statement of operations. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments may be applied either (1) prospectively to financial statements issued for reporting periods after the effective date of this ASU or (2) retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. We are currently evaluating the impact this ASU will have on our disclosures.

We derecognized the hotel properties that secured the KEYS Pool A and KEYS Pool B loans from our consolidated balance sheet in March 2024, when the receiver took control of the hotel properties, and accordingly recognized a gain of $133.9 million, which is included in “gain (loss) on derecognition of assets” in our consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024. We recorded a contract asset of $378.2 million as of March 31, 2024, which represented the liabilities from which we expect to be released upon final resolution with the lenders on the KEYS Pool A and KEYS Pool B mortgage loans in exchange for the transfer of ownership of the respective hotel properties. On July 2, 2024, the Courtyard Plano Legacy Park and the Residence Inn Plano were foreclosed on at a public auction. Additionally, on November 4, 2024, the receiver appointed for the KEYS Pool A and KEYS Pool B mortgage loans transferred the Courtyard Columbus Tipton Lakes to a third party purchaser.
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, we recognized an additional gain of $10.0 million, which is included in “gain (loss) on derecognition of assets” in our consolidated statement of operations that increased the contract asset by a corresponding amount. The KEYS Pool A and the KEYS Pool B mortgage loans, as well as all accrued and unpaid interest, default charges and late fees will remain liabilities until final resolution with the lenders is concluded, and thus are included in “indebtedness associated with hotels in receivership” and “accrued interest associated with hotels in receivership” on our consolidated balance sheets.
On March 6, 2025, the $22.1 million non-recourse mortgage loan secured by the Hilton Scotts Valley reached final maturity and was not repaid resulting in a default under the terms and conditions of the mortgage loan agreement.
We have extension options relating to certain property-level loans that will permit us to extend the maturity date of our loans if certain conditions are satisfied at the respective extension dates, including the achievement of debt yield targets required in order to extend such loans. To the extent we decide to extend the maturity date of the debt outstanding under the loans, we may be required to prepay a significant amount of the loans in order to meet the required debt yield.
If we violate covenants in our debt agreements, we could be required to repay all or a portion of our indebtedness before maturity at a time when we might be unable to arrange financing for such repayment on attractive terms, if at all. As of March 31, 2025, we were in compliance with all covenants related to mortgage loans, except where noted above. The assets of certain of our subsidiaries are pledged under non-recourse indebtedness and are not available to satisfy the debts and other obligations of Ashford Trust or Ashford Trust OP, our operating partnership, and the liabilities of such subsidiaries do not constitute the obligations of Ashford Trust or Ashford Trust OP.
Interest Rate Derivatives—We use interest rate caps and floors to hedge our debt and cash flows, which are recorded at fair value. Payments from counterparties on in-the-money interest rate caps and floors are recognized as realized gains on our condensed consolidated statements of operations. See note 9.
Compound Embedded Debt Derivative—On February 12, 2025, we repaid the outstanding balance on on our corporate strategic financing with Oaktree Capital Management, L.P. (the “Oaktree Credit Agreement”), which included an exit fee of $30.0 million. Prior to the repayment date, the exit fee was considered under the applicable accounting guidance an embedded derivative liability that met the criteria for bifurcation from the debt host and was measured at estimated fair value at each reporting period. See note 9.
8. Note Receivable
The Company has a note receivable with the manager of 815 Commerce MM, who also holds a non-controlling interest in 815 Commerce MM. See discussion in note 2. The note receivable is payable within 30 days after demand. If the manager fails upon demand to repay the note receivable with interest, the Company will have the right to convert the unpaid principal plus all accrued interest thereon to an additional capital contribution, in which case the deemed additional capital contributions by the manager will be deemed to have not occurred and the percentage interests and the residual sharing percentages of the members shall be adjusted. The note receivable may be prepaid in whole or in part.
The following table summarizes the note receivable (dollars in thousands):

| Interest Rate |  | March 31, 2025 |  | December 31, 2024
Note receivable (1) | 18.0 | % |  | $ | 10,958 |  |  | $ | 10,565 |

_____________________________
(1) As of March 31, 2025, the Company’s note receivable balance consists of advances of $8.8 million and accrued interest of $2.1 million.

We review receivables for impairment each reporting period. Under this model, the Company estimates credit losses over the entire contractual term of the instrument from the date of initial recognition of that instrument and is required to record a credit loss expense (or reversal) in each reporting period. Our assessment of impairment is based on considerable management judgment and assumptions. No impairment charges were recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.
9. Fair Value Measurements
Fair Value Hierarchy—For disclosure purposes, financial instruments, whether measured at fair value on a recurring or nonrecurring basis or not measured at fair value, are classified in a hierarchy consisting of three levels based on the observability of valuation inputs in the marketplace as discussed below:
•Level 1: Fair value measurements that are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that we have the ability to access for identical assets or liabilities. Market price data generally are obtained from exchange or dealer markets.
•Level 2: Fair value measurements based on inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.
•Level 3: Fair value measurements based on valuation techniques that use significant inputs that are unobservable. The circumstances for using these measurements include those in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability.
The fair value of interest rate caps and floors are determined using the market standard methodology of discounting the future expected cash receipts that would occur if variable interest rates fall below the strike rates of the floors or rise above the strike rates of the caps. Variable interest rates used in the calculation of projected receipts and payments on the caps are based on an expectation of future interest rates derived from observable market interest rate curves (SOFR forward curves) and volatilities (Level 2 inputs). We also incorporate credit valuation adjustments (Level 3 inputs) to appropriately reflect both our own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk.
When a majority of the inputs used to value our derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the derivative valuations in their entirety are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. However, when valuation adjustments associated with our derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by us and our counterparties, which we consider significant (10% or more) to the overall valuation of our derivatives, the derivative valuations in their entirety are classified in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Transfers of inputs between levels are determined at the end of each reporting period. In determining the fair values of our derivatives at March 31, 2025, the SOFR interest rate forward curve (Level 2 inputs) assumed a downtrend from 4.319% to 3.404% for the remaining term of our derivatives. Credit spreads (Level 3 inputs) used in determining the fair values of derivatives assumed an uptrend in nonperformance risk for us and all of our counterparties through the maturity dates.
Prior to the Company’s repayment of the Oaktree term loan on February 12, 2025, we recorded an embedded debt derivative attributed to the Oaktree term loan’s compound embedded derivative liability. The compound embedded derivative liability was considered a Level 3 measurement due to the utilization of significant unobservable inputs in the valuation, which were based on ‘with and without’ valuation models.

(1) Includes balances associated with assets held for sale and liabilities associated with assets held for sale as of December 31, 2024.
Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash. These financial assets bear interest at market rates and have original maturities of less than 90 days. The carrying value approximates fair value due to their short-term nature. This is considered a Level 1 valuation technique.
Accounts receivable, net, accounts payable and accrued expenses, accrued interest payable, accrued interest associated with hotels in receivership, dividends and distributions payable, due to/from related parties, net, due to/from Ashford Inc., net and due to/from third-party hotel managers. The carrying values of these financial instruments approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature. This is considered a Level 1 valuation technique.
Notes receivable, net. The carrying amount of notes receivable, net approximates its fair value. We estimate the fair value of the notes receivable, net to approximate the carrying value. This is considered a Level 2 valuation technique.
Derivative assets and embedded debt derivative. See notes 7 and 9 for a complete description of the methodology and assumptions utilized in determining fair values.
Indebtedness and indebtedness associated with hotels in receivership. Fair value of indebtedness is determined using the loan terms, collateral value and financial data such as loan-to-value ratios, debt service coverage ratios, and interest rates for comparable loans. We estimated the fair value of total indebtedness to be approximately 100.0% of the carrying value of $2.7 billion at March 31, 2025 and approximately 99.6% of the carrying value of $2.7 billion at December 31, 2024. We estimated the fair value of indebtedness associated with hotels in receivership to be approximately 81.9% of the carrying value of $314.6 million at March 31, 2025 and approximately 81.9% of the carrying value of $314.6 million at December 31, 2024. These fair value estimates are considered a Level 2 valuation technique.

11. Income (Loss) Per Share
Basic income (loss) per common share is calculated using the two-class method by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted income (loss) per common share is calculated using the two-class method, or treasury stock method if more dilutive, and reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common shares were exercised or converted into common shares, whereby such exercise or conversion would result in lower income per share.
The following table reconciles the amounts used in calculating basic and diluted income (loss) per share (in thousands, except per-share amounts):

12. Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests in Operating Partnership
Redeemable noncontrolling interests in the operating partnership represents the limited partners’ proportionate share of equity in earnings/losses of the operating partnership, which is an allocation of net income/loss attributable to the common unit holders based on the weighted average ownership percentage of these limited partners’ common units of limited partnership interest in the operating partnership (the “common units”) and the units issued under our LTIP units that are vested. Each common unit may be redeemed for either cash or, at our sole discretion, up to one share of our REIT common stock, which is either: (i) issued pursuant to an effective registration statement; (ii) included in an effective registration statement providing for the resale of such common stock; or (iii) issued subject to a registration rights agreement.
LTIP units, which are issued to certain executives and employees of Ashford LLC as compensation, generally have vesting periods of three years. Additionally, certain independent members of the board of directors have elected to receive LTIP units as part of their compensation, which are fully vested upon grant. Upon reaching economic parity with common units, each vested LTIP unit can be converted by the holder into one common unit which can then be redeemed for cash or, at our election, settled in our common stock. An LTIP unit will achieve parity with the common units upon the sale or deemed sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the operating partnership at a time when our stock is trading at a level in excess of the price it was trading on the date of the LTIP issuance. More specifically, LTIP units will achieve full economic parity with common units in connection with (i) the actual sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the operating partnership or (ii) the hypothetical sale of such assets, which results from a capital account revaluation, as defined in the partnership agreement, for the operating partnership.
The compensation committee of the board of directors of the Company may authorize the issuance of Performance LTIP units to certain executive officers and directors from time to time. The award agreements provide for the grant of a target number of Performance LTIP units that will be settled in common units of Ashford Trust OP, if, when and to the extent the applicable vesting criteria have been achieved following the end of the performance and service period. The criteria for the Performance LTIP units are based on performance conditions and market conditions under the relevant literature. The corresponding compensation cost is recognized, based on the applicable measurement date fair value of the award, ratably over the service period for the award as the service is rendered, which may vary from period to period, as the number of performance grants earned may vary based on the estimated probable achievement of certain performance targets (performance conditions). The number of Performance LTIP units to be earned based on the applicable performance conditions is determined upon the final vesting date. The initial calculation of the Performance LTIP units earned can range from 0% to 200% of target, which is further subjected to a specified absolute total stockholder return modifier (market condition) based on the formulas determined by the Company’s compensation committee on the grant date. This will result in an adjustment (75% to 125%) of the initial calculation of the number of performance awards earned based on the applicable performance targets resulting in a final award calculation ranging from 0% to 250% of the target amount.

13. Equity and Equity-Based Compensation
Common Stock Dividends—The board of directors did not declare a quarterly common stock dividend in 2025 or 2024.
Restricted Stock—We incur stock-based compensation expense in connection with restricted stock awarded to certain employees of Ashford LLC and its affiliates. We also issue common stock to certain of our independent directors, which vests immediately upon issuanc e.
Performance Stock Units—The compensation committee of the board of directors of the Company may authorize the issuance of performance stock units (“PSUs”), which have a cliff vesting period of three years, to certain executive officers and directors from time to time. The award agreements provide for the grant of a target number of PSUs that will be settled in shares of common stock of the Company, if, when and to the extent the applicable vesting criteria have been achieved following the end of the performance and service period. The criteria for the PSUs are based on performance conditions and market conditions under the relevant literature. The corresponding compensation cost is recognized, based on the corresponding measurement date fair value of the award, ratably over the service period for the award as the service is rendered, which may vary from period to period, as the number of PSUs earned may vary based on the estimated probable achievement of certain performance targets (performance conditions). The number of PSUs to be earned based on the applicable performance conditions is determined upon the final vesting date. The initial calculation of PSUs earned can range from 0% to 200% of target, which is further subjected to a specified absolute total stockholder return modifier (market condition) based on the formulas determined by the Company’s compensation committee on the grant date. This will result in an adjustment (75% to 125%) of the initial calculation for the number of PSUs earned based on the applicable performance targets resulting in a final award calculation ranging from 0% to 250% of the target amount.

Advisory Agreement with Stirling OP
Stirling REIT Advisors, LLC (“Stirling Advisor”), a subsidiary of Ashford Inc., acts as Stirling OP’s advisor. Stirling Advisor is paid an annual management fee (payable monthly in arrears) of 1.25% of aggregate NAV represented by the Class T, Class S, Class D and Class I shares of Stirling Inc. Additionally, to the extent Stirling OP issues Class T, Class S, Class D or Class I operating partnership units to parties other than Stirling Inc., Stirling OP will pay Stirling Advisor a management fee equal to 1.25% of the aggregate NAV of Stirling OP attributable to such Class T, Class S, Class D and Class I operating partnership units not held by Stirling Inc. per annum payable monthly in arrears.

The management fee will be paid, at Stirling Advisor’s election, in cash, Class E shares of Stirling Inc. or Class E units of Stirling OP. If Stirling Advisor elects to receive any portion of its management fee in Class E shares or Class E units of Stirling OP, Stirling Inc. may be obligated to repurchase such Class E shares of Stirling Inc. or Class E units of Stirling OP from Stirling Advisor at a later date. Such repurchases will be outside Stirling Inc.’s share repurchase plan and thus will not be subject to the repurchase limits of the share repurchase plan or any early repurchase deduction.
Stirling OP does not intend to pay Stirling Advisor any acquisition or other similar fees in connection with making investments. Stirling OP will, however, reimburse Stirling Advisor for out-of-pocket expenses in connection with the selection and acquisition of properties and real estate related debt, whether or not such investments are acquired, and make payments to third parties in connection with making investments. In addition to organization and offering expense and acquisition expense reimbursements, Stirling OP will reimburse Stirling Advisor for out-of-pocket costs and expenses it incurs in connection with the services it provides to Stirling Inc., including, but not limited to: (i) the actual cost of goods and services used by Stirling OP and obtained from third parties, including fees paid to administrators, consultants, attorneys, technology providers and other service providers, and brokerage fees paid in connection with the purchase and sale of investments; (ii) expenses of managing and operating Stirling OP’s properties, whether payable to an affiliate or a non-affiliated person; and (iii) expenses related to

Warwick
Pursuant to the Company’s hotel management agreements with each hotel management company, the Company bears the economic burden for casualty insurance coverage which includes worker’s compensation, general liability and auto liability coverages. The hotel management companies procure worker’s compensation insurance, the expenses of which are passed through to the Company. Under the advisory agreement and hotel management agreements, Ashford Inc. secures general liability and auto liability policies to cover Ashford Trust, Braemar, Stirling OP, their hotel managers, as needed, and Ashford Inc. The total cost estimates covered by such policies are based on the collective pool of risk exposures from each party. Ashford Inc. delegates the management of the casualty insurance program to Warwick Insurance Company, LLC (“Warwick”), a subsidiary of Ashford Inc. which issues policies covering general liability, workers’ compensation and auto liability losses. Each year Ashford Inc. collects funds from Ashford Trust, Braemar, Stirling OP and their respective hotel management companies, to fund the casualty insurance program as needed, on an allocated basis.
Cash Management
The Company, Ashford Inc. and Braemar Hotels & Resorts Inc. (“Braemar”) are subject to an agreement pursuant to which the Advisor is to implement the REITs cash management strategies. This includes actively managing the REITs excess cash by primarily investing in short-term U.S. Treasury securities.

Design and Construction Services - Ashford Trust
Premier Project Management LLC (“Premier”), as a subsidiary of Ashford Inc., provides design and construction services to our hotels, including construction management, interior design, architectural services, and the purchasing, freight management, and supervision of installation of FF&E and related services. Pursuant to the design and construction services agreement, we pay Premier: (a) design and construction fees of up to 4% of project costs; and (b) market service fees at current market rates with respect to construction management, interior design, architecture, FF&E purchasing, FF&E expediting/freight management, FF&E warehousing and FF&E installation and supervision.
On March 12, 2024, Ashford Trust OP entered into an Amended and Restated Master Project Management Agreement with Premier (the “A&R PMA”). The provisions of the A&R PMA are substantially the same as the Master Project Management Agreement, dated as of August 8, 2018. The A&R PMA provides for an initial term of ten years as to each hotel governed by the A&R PMA. The term may be renewed by Premier, at its option, for three successive periods of seven years each, and, thereafter, a final term of four years; provided that at the time the option to renew is exercised, Premier is not then in default under the A&R PMA. The A&R PMA also: (i) provides that fees will be payable monthly as the service is delivered based on percentage completion; (ii) allows a project management fee to be paid on a development, together with (and not in lieu of) the development fee; and (iii) fixes the fees for FF&E purchasing, expediting, freight management and warehousing at 8%.
Design and Construction Services - Stirling OP
The Master Project Management Agreement provides that Premier shall be paid a project management fee equal to 4% of the total project costs associated with the implementation of the capital improvement budget (both hard and soft) until such time that the capital improvement budget and/or renovation project involves the expenditure of an amount in excess of 5% of the gross revenues of the applicable hotel, whereupon the design project management fee shall be reduced to 3% of the total project costs in excess of the 5% of gross revenue threshold.
The Master Project Management Agreement provides that Premier shall provide the following services and shall be paid the following fees: (i) architecture (6.5% of total construction costs, plus reimbursement for all third-party, out-of-pocket costs and expenses of mechanical, electrical and structural engineering services utilized in providing architectural services for project management work); (ii) construction management for projects without a general contractor (10% of total construction costs); (iii) interior design (6% of the purchase price of FFE designed or selected by Premier); (iv) FFE purchasing (8% of the purchase price of the FFE purchased by Premier; provided that if the purchase price exceeds $2.0 million for a single hotel in a calendar year, then the procurement fee is reduced to 6% of the FFE purchase price in excess of $2.0 million for such hotel in such calendar year); (v) freight expediting (8% of the cost of expediting FFE); (vi) warehousing (8% of the cost of warehousing goods delivered to the job site); and (vii) development (4% of total project costs).

Hotel Management Services
As of March 31, 2025, Remington Hospitality managed 50 of our 68 hotel properties and three of the four Stirling OP hotel properties.
We pay monthly hotel management fees equal to the greater of approximately $17,000 per hotel (increased annually based on consumer price index adjustments) or 3% of gross revenues as well as annual incentive management fees, if certain operational criteria were met, and other general and administrative expense reimbursements primarily related to accounting services. Our hotel management agreement also requires that we fund property-level operating costs including the hotel manager's payroll and related costs.
On March 12, 2024, Ashford TRS Corporation entered into a Second Consolidated, Amended and Restated Hotel Master Management Agreement with Remington Hospitality (the “Second A&R HMA”). The provisions of the Second A&R HMA are substantially the same as in the Consolidated, Amended and Restated Hotel Master Management Agreement, dated as of August 8, 2018. The Second A&R HMA provides for an initial term of ten years as to each hotel governed by the Second A&R HMA. The term may be renewed by Remington Hospitality, at its option, for three successive periods of seven years each, and, thereafter, a final term of four years; provided that at the time the option to renew is exercised, Remington Hospitality is not then in default under the Second A&R HMA. The Second A&R HMA also provides that Remington Hospitality may charge market premiums for its self-insured health plans to its hotel employees, the cost of which is an operating expense of the hotel properties.
On September 11, 2024, Ashford TRS Corporation entered into the First Amendment (the “HMA Amendment”) to the Second A&R HMA with Remington Hospitality. Pursuant to the HMA Amendment, the amount of Group Services (as defined in the Second A&R HMA) charged per room per month at each hotel is capped at $38.32 (subject to annual increases beginning in 2026 equal to the greater of 3% or the percentage change in the Consumer Price Index over the preceding annual period) (the “Cap”). Any unpaid balance will be paid by Ashford TRS, and the Cap will be disregarded when calculating the Incentive Fee (as defined in the Second A&R HMA) for 2024. The Cap will not apply to hotels for whom the New Lessee (as defined in the Second A&R HMA) is not a direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Ashford TRS.
16. Commitments and Contingencies
Restricted Cash—Under certain management and debt agreements for our hotel properties existing as of March 31, 2025, escrow payments are required for insurance, real estate taxes, and debt service. In addition, for certain properties based on the terms of the underlying debt and management agreements, we escrow generally 4% to 5% of gross revenues for capital improvements. From time to time, the Company may work with its property managers and lenders in order to utilize lender and manager held reserves to fund operating shortfalls.
Franchise Fees—Under franchise agreements for our hotel properties existing as of March 31, 2025, we pay franchisor royalty fees between 3% and 6% of gross rooms revenue and, in some cases, 1% to 3% of food and beverage revenues. Additionally, we pay fees for marketing, reservations, and other related activities aggregating between 0% and 4% of gross rooms revenue and, in some cases, food and beverage revenues. These franchise agreements expire on varying dates between 2025 and 2049. When a franchise term expires, the franchisor has no obligation to renew the franchise. In addition, if we breach the franchise agreement and the franchisor terminates a franchise prior to its expiration date, we may be liable for up to three times the average annual fees incurred for that property.
The table below summarizes the franchise fees incurred (in thousands):

|  |  |  | Three Months Ended March 31,
Line Item |  |  |  |  |  | 2025 |  | 2024 |  |
Other hotel expenses |  |  |  |  |  | $ | 13,114 |  |  | $ | 13,892 |  |  |

Management Fees—Under hotel management agreements for our hotel properties existing as of March 31, 2025, we pay monthly hotel management fees equal to the greater of approximately $17,000 per hotel (increased annually based on consumer price index adjustments) or 3% of gross revenues, or in some cases 2% to 7% of gross revenues, as well as annual incentive management fees, if applicable. These hotel management agreements expire from 2026 through 2038, with renewal options. If we terminate a hotel management agreement prior to its expiration, we may be liable for estimated management fees through the remaining term and liquidated damages or, in certain circumstances, we may substitute a new management agreement. Our

hotel management agreements also require that we fund property-level operating costs, including the hotel manager's payroll and related costs.
Income Taxes—We and our subsidiaries file income tax returns in the federal jurisdiction and various states. Tax years 2020 through 2024 remain subject to potential examination by certain federal and state taxing authorities.
Litigation—On December 20, 2016, a class action lawsuit was filed against one of the Company’s hotel management companies in the Superior Court of the State of California in and for the County of Contra Costa alleging violations of certain California employment laws, which class action affects nine hotels owned by subsidiaries of the Company. The court has entered an order granting class certification with respect to: (i) a statewide class of non-exempt employees of our manager who were allegedly deprived of rest breaks as a result of our manager’s previous written policy requiring its employees to stay on premises during rest breaks; and (ii) a derivative class of non-exempt former employees of our manager who were not paid for allegedly missed breaks upon separation from employment. Notices to potential class members were sent out on February 2, 2021. Potential class members had until April 4, 2021 to opt out of the class; however, the total number of employees in the class has not been definitively determined and is the subject of continuing discovery. The opt-out period has been extended until such time that discovery has concluded. In May 2023, the trial court requested additional briefing from the parties to determine whether the case should be maintained, dismissed, or the class de-certified. After submission of the briefs, the court requested that the parties submit stipulations for the court to rule upon. On February 13, 2024, the judge ordered the parties to submit additional briefing related to on-site breaks. A tentative settlement has been reached subject to the respective parties obtaining various approvals. As of March 31, 2025, the estimated settlement liability amount has been accrued.
On August 4, 2020, a lawsuit, Benjamin Zermeno v. Beverly Hills Marriott, was filed in Alameda County Superior Court as a PAGA representative action alleging various wage and hour violations of all Remington managed California properties. The plaintiff’s individual claims were compelled to arbitration. On August 18, 2022, another lawsuit, Cristina Catalano v. Beverly Hills Marriott and Mr. C, was filed as a PAGA representative action alleging various wage and hour violations of all Remington managed California properties. The co-defendant separately settled and the individual arbitration has also settled. A private mediation was held on December 27, 2024 to globally resolve the three outstanding matters. A tentative settlement was reached subject to the parties finalizing the agreement and court approval. As of March 31, 2025, the estimated settlement liability amount has been accrued.
We are also engaged in other legal proceedings that have arisen but have not been fully adjudicated. To the extent the claims giving rise to these legal proceedings are not covered by insurance, they relate to the following general types of claims: employment matters, tax matters and matters relating to compliance with applicable law (for example, the Americans with Disabilities Act and similar state laws). The likelihood of loss from these legal proceedings is based on the definitions within contingency accounting literature. We recognize a loss when we believe the loss is both probable and reasonably estimable. Based on the information available to us relating to these legal proceedings and/or our experience in similar legal proceedings, we do not believe the ultimate resolution of these proceedings, either individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flow.
During the quarter ended September 30, 2023, we had a cyber incident that resulted in the potential exposure of certain personal information. We have completed an investigation and have identified certain information that may have been exposed and notified potentially impacted individuals pursuant to applicable state guidelines. All systems have been restored. In February of 2024, two class action lawsuits were filed, one in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas and a second in the 68th District Court for Dallas County related to the cyber incident. The lawsuit filed in the 68th District Court was subsequently dismissed and refiled in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas. On March 12, 2024, the court ordered the two cases be consolidated. The consolidated case is currently pending in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas. The parties have reached an agreement, subject to final Court approval, to resolve the class action suit. The amount of the class settlement is approximately $485,000. The hearing for final Court approval of the settlement is scheduled for August 27, 2025.
Our assessment may change depending upon the development of any current or future legal proceedings, and the final results of such legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty. If we ultimately do not prevail in one or more of these legal matters, and the associated realized losses exceed our current estimates of the range of potential losses, our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows could be materially adversely affected in future periods.

17. Segment Reporting
We operate in one reportable business segment within the hotel lodging industry: direct hotel investments. Direct hotel investments refer to owning hotel properties through either acquisition or new development. We report operating results of direct hotel investments on an aggregate basis as substantially all of our hotel investments: (i) offer similar products and services to their customers in the form of hotel rooms, food and beverage, and ancillary services; (ii) utilize third-party hotel management companies to deliver its products and services to its customers; (iii) are designed and operated to appeal to similar individuals, groups, leisure and business customers; and (iv) third-party hotel managers utilize the same methods (direct hotel sales and various online booking portals) to distribute the Company’s products and services. As of March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024, all of our hotel properties were in the U.S. and its territories. The Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) is its President and Chief Executive Officer.
Each hotel property derives revenue primarily from guestroom sales, food and beverage sales and revenues from other lodging services and amenities. The accounting policies of each operating segment are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies in note 2.
The CODM reviews and makes decisions on all aspects of the Company’s business using all available financial and non-financial data for each hotel individually. Capital allocation decisions to acquire, sell, enhance, redevelop, or perform renewal and replacement expenditures are determined on a hotel-by-hotel basis. Specifically, the CODM reviews the results of each hotel to assess the hotel’s profitability. The key measure the CODM uses to allocate resources and assess performance is individual hotel net income (loss) before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, adjusted to exclude certain items determined by management to not be reflective of its ongoing operating performance or incurred in the normal course of business (Hotel Adjusted EBITDA). The CODM does not regularly review the results of Stirling OP. The adjustments include gains and losses on hotel dispositions, impairment charges, pre-opening costs associated with extensive renovation projects, property-level legal settlements, restructuring, severance, management transition costs and other expenses identified by management to be non-recurring. The CODM does not regularly review asset information by segment.
The following tables include revenues, significant hotel operating expenses, and Hotel Adjusted EBITDA for the Company’s hotels, reconciled to the consolidated amounts included in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations (in thousands):

18. Subsequent Events
On April 14, 2025, the Company successfully extended its Morgan Stanley Pool mortgage loan secured by 17 hotels. The loan had an original final maturity date in November of 2024. The extension provides for an initial maturity in March of 2026 and two, one-year extension options, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, with a final maturity date in March of 2028. The loan has a current balance of $409.8 million and continues to bear interest at a floating rate of SOFR + 3.39%.
On May 8, 2025, the Company received $35.0 million in return for an equity investment in a hotel property. The holder is entitled to a preferred return of 14.0% per annum. The investment is mandatorily redeemable on May 10, 2029.
On May 12, 2025, the Company and Ashford LLC entered into Amendment No. 4 to the Advisory Agreement (the “Fourth Amendment”). The Fourth Amendment further extends the updates made by the Third Amendment to the outside date for which any sale or disposition of any of the Company’s Highland loan portfolio and JPM8 hotel properties securing the associated mortgage loans following certain defaults (as described in the Advisory Agreement) would be excluded from the numerator of the calculation of the percentage of gross book value of the Company’s assets sold or disposed (but, for the avoidance of doubt, included in the denominator of such calculation) for purposes of determining whether a Company Change of Control (as defined in the Advisory Agreement) has occurred, from March 31, 2026 to May 31, 2026.

EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW
General
As of March 31, 2025, our portfolio consisted of 67 consolidated operating hotel properties, which represent 16,736 total rooms. One consolidated operating hotel property, which represents 188 total rooms is owned through a 29.3% investment in a consolidated entity. Additionally, our portfolio consists of f our consolidated operating hotel properties, which represent 405 total rooms owned through a 98.7% ownership interest in Stirling OP, which was formed by Stirling Inc. to acquire and own a diverse portfolio of stabilized income-producing hotels and resorts. Currently, all of our hotel properties are located in the United States.
Based on our primary business objectives and forecasted operating conditions, our current key priorities and financial strategies include, among other things:
•preserving capital and maintaining significant cash and cash equivalents liquidity;
•disposition of non-core hotel properties;
•acquisition of hotel properties, in whole or in part, that we expect will be accretive to our portfolio;
•pursuing capital market activities and implementing strategies to enhance long-term stockholder value;
•accessing cost effective capital, including through the issuance of non-traded preferred securities;
•opportunistically exchanging preferred stock into common stock;
•implementing selective capital improvements designed to increase profitability and maintain the quality of our assets;
•implementing effective asset management strategies to minimize operating costs and increase revenues;
•financing or refinancing hotels on competitive terms;
•modifying or extending property-level indebtedness;
•utilizing hedges, derivatives and other strategies to mitigate risks;
•pursuing opportunistic value-add additions to our hotel portfolio; and
•making other investments or divestitures that our board of directors deems appropriate.
Our current investment strategy is to focus on owning predominantly full-service hotels in the upper upscale segment in domestic markets that have RevPAR generally less than twice the national average. We believe that as supply, demand, and capital market cycles change, we will be able to shift our investment strategy to take advantage of new lodging-related investment opportunities as they may develop. Our board of directors may change our investment strategy at any time without stockholder approval or notice. We will continue to seek ways to benefit from the cyclical nature of the hotel industry.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Key Indicators of Operating Performance
We use a variety of operating and other information to evaluate the operating performance of our business. These key indicators include financial information that is prepared in accordance with GAAP as well as other financial measures that are non-GAAP measures. In addition, we use other information that may not be financial in nature, including statistical information and comparative data. We use this information to measure the operating performance of our individual hotels, groups of hotels and/or business as a whole. We also use these metrics to evaluate the hotels in our portfolio and potential acquisitions to
42

determine each hotel’s contribution to cash flow and its potential to provide attractive long-term total returns. These key indicators include:
•Occupancy—Occupancy means the total number of hotel rooms sold in a given period divided by the total number of rooms available. Occupancy measures the utilization of our hotels’ available capacity. We use occupancy to measure demand at a specific hotel or group of hotels in a given period.
•ADR—ADR means average daily rate and is calculated by dividing total hotel rooms revenues by total number of rooms sold in a given period. ADR measures average room price attained by a hotel and ADR trends provide useful information concerning the pricing environment and the nature of the customer base of a hotel or group of hotels. We use ADR to assess the pricing levels that we are able to generate.
•RevPAR—RevPAR means revenue per available room and is calculated by multiplying ADR by the average daily occupancy. RevPAR is one of the commonly used measures within the hotel industry to evaluate hotel operations. RevPAR does not include revenues from food and beverage sales or parking, telephone or other non-rooms revenues generated by the property. Although RevPAR does not include these ancillary revenues, it is generally considered the leading indicator of core revenues for many hotels. We also use RevPAR to compare the results of our hotels between periods and to analyze results of our comparable hotels (comparable hotels represent hotels we have owned for the entire period). RevPAR improvements attributable to increases in occupancy are generally accompanied by increases in most categories of variable operating costs. RevPAR improvements attributable to increases in ADR are generally accompanied by increases in limited categories of operating costs, such as management fees and franchise fees.
RevPAR changes that are primarily driven by changes in occupancy have different implications for overall revenues and profitability than changes that are driven primarily by changes in ADR. For example, an increase in occupancy at a hotel would lead to additional variable operating costs (including housekeeping services, utilities and room supplies) and could also result in increased other operating department revenue and expense. Changes in ADR typically have a greater impact on operating margins and profitability as they do not have a substantial effect on variable operating costs.
Occupancy, ADR and RevPAR are commonly used measures within the lodging industry to evaluate operating performance. RevPAR is an important statistic for monitoring operating performance at the individual hotel level and across our entire business. We evaluate individual hotel RevPAR performance on an absolute basis with comparisons to budget and prior periods, as well as on a regional and company-wide basis. ADR and RevPAR include only rooms revenue. Rooms revenue is dictated by demand (as measured by occupancy), pricing (as measured by ADR) and our available supply of hotel rooms.
We also use funds from operations (“FFO”), Adjusted FFO, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization for real estate (“EBITDAre”) and Adjusted EBITDAre as measures of the operating performance of our business. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”

Comparison of the Three Months Ended March 31, 2025 and 2024
Net Income (Loss) Attributable to the Company. Net loss attributable to the Company changed $91.5 million from income of $71.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 (the “2024 quarter”) to a loss of $20.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 (the “2025 quarter”) as a result of the factors discussed below.
Revenue. Rooms revenue from our hotel properties decreased $22.9 million, or 10.0%, to $206.3 million in the 2025 quarter compared to the 2024 quarter. This decrease in the 2025 quarter is primarily attributable to decreases in rooms revenue of $16.0 million from our Hotel Dispositions and $13.7 million from the KEYS A and B properties that went into receivership in the 2024 quarter. These decreases were partially offset by $2.1 million in rooms revenue from the Le Meridien that opened in August 2024 (the “Le Meridien Opening”) and higher rooms revenue of $4.2 million and $495,000 at our comparable hotel properties and the Stirling properties, respectively, in the 2025 quarter. Our comparable hotel properties experienced an increase of 2.4% in room rates and a decrease of 59 basis points in occupancy.
Food and beverage revenue decreased $2.8 million, or 4.9%, to $54.5 million in the 2025 quarter compared to the 2024 quarter. This decrease in the 2025 quarter is primarily attributable to decreases in food and beverage revenue of $3.3 million from our Hotel Dispositions and $404,000 from the KEYS A and B properties. These decreases were partially offset by higher sales of food and beverage of $483,000 at our comparable hotel properties and $401,000 from the Le Meridien Opening.
Other hotel revenue, which consists mainly of internet access, parking, and spa revenue, decreased $472,000, or 2.8%, to $16.2 million in the 2025 quarter compared to the 2024 quarter. This decrease in the 2025 quarter is primarily attributable to decreases in other hotel revenue of $2.3 million from our Hotel Dispositions and $488,000 from the KEYS A and B properties. These decreases were partially offset by higher other hotel revenue of $2.1 million from our comparable hotel properties and $143,000 from the Le Meridien Opening. Other revenue decreased $330,000, or 51.6%, to $309,000 in the 2025 quarter compared to the 2024 quarter.
Hotel Operating Expenses. Hotel operating expenses decreased $22.4 million, or 10.6%, to $188.5 million in the 2025 quarter compared to the 2024 quarter. Hotel operating expenses consist of direct expenses from departments associated with revenue streams and indirect expenses associated with support departments and management fees. Direct expenses decreased $9.4 million in the 2025 quarter compared to the 2024 quarter, comprised of a decrease of $7.6 million from our Hotel Dispositions and $3.9 million from the KEYS A and B properties. The decrease in direct expenses was partially offset by an increase in the 2025 quarter of $1.2 million from our comparable hotel properties and $990,000 from the Le Meridien Opening. Direct expenses were 30.9% of total hotel revenue for the 2025 quarter and 31.4% for the 2024 quarter.
Indirect expenses and management fees decreased $13.0 million in the 2025 quarter compared to the 2024 quarter, comprised of a decrease of $9.8 million from our Hotel Dispositions and $6.3 million from the KEYS A and B properties. These decreases in the 2025 quarter were partially offset by an increase of $1.8 million and $150,000 in the 2025 quarter from our comparable hotel properties and the Stirling hotel properties, respectively, and $1.1 million from the Le Meridien Opening.
Property Taxes, Insurance and Other. Property taxes, insurance and other expense decreased $1.3 million or 7.6%, to $16.0 million in the 2025 quarter compared to the 2024 quarter. The decrease in the 2025 quarter was primarily due to a decrease of $2.1 million from our Hotel Dispositions and $1.0 million from the KEYS A and B properties. The decrease in the 2025 quarter was partially offset by an increase of $1.5 million from our comparable hotel properties and $307,000 from the Le Meridien Opening.
Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization decreased $3.2 million or 7.9%, to $37.3 million in the 2025 quarter compared to the 2024 quarter. The decrease in the 2025 quarter was primarily due to lower depreciation of $2.4
46

million from our Hotel Dispositions and $1.8 million from the KEYS A and B properties. The decrease in the 2025 quarter was partially offset by $1.1 million from the Le Meridien Opening.
Advisory Services Fee. Advisory services fee decreased $3.7 million, or 24.1%, to $11.5 million in the 2025 quarter compared to the 2024 quarter. The advisory services fee represents fees incurred in connection with the advisory agreements between Ashford Inc. and the Company and between Ashford Inc. and Stirling OP. In the 2025 quarter, the advisory services fee was primarily comprised of a base advisory fee of $8.1 million, reimbursable expenses of $3.2 million, an incentive advisory fee of $93,000 and fees totaling $268,000 associated with Stirling OP’s advisory agreement. In the 2024 quarter, the advisory services fee was comprised of a base advisory fee of $8.0 million, equity-based compensation of $536,000 awarded to the officers and employees of Ashford Inc., reimbursable expenses of $6.4 million and fees totaling $304,000 associated with Stirling OP’s advisory agreement.
Corporate, General and Administrative. Corporate, general and administrative expense decreased $3.9 million, or 47.6%, to $4.3 million in the 2025 quarter compared to the 2024 quarter. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower reimbursed operating expenses of Ashford Securities of $3.3 million and lower miscellaneous expenses of $697,000.
Gain (Loss) on Consolidation of VIE and Disposition of Assets and Hotel Properties. Gain on consolidation of VIE and disposition of assets and hotel properties increased $24.9 million, from $7.0 million in the 2024 quarter to $31.9 million in the 2025 quarter. The gain in the 2025 quarter was primarily related to the sale of the Boston Courtyard Downtown in January 2025. The gain in the 2024 quarter was primarily related to the sale of the Residence Inn in Salt Lake City, Utah.
Gain (Loss) on Derecognition of Assets. Gain on derecognition of assets decreased $123.9 million, from $133.9 million in the 2024 quarter to $10.0 million in the 2025 quarter as no new hotels were placed into receivership in the 2025 quarter. The remaining gain relates to interest on the KEYS A and B properties. In the 2024 quarter, the gain included the initial gain of $133.9 million related to the derecognition of assets related to the KEYS A and B properties.
Equity in Earnings (Loss) of Unconsolidated Entities. Equity in loss of unconsolidated entities was $431,000 in the 2025 quarter and $534,000 in the 2024 quarter. Equity in loss primarily results from our investment in an entity that owns the Meritage Resort and Spa and the Grand Reserve at the Meritage in Napa, California.
Interest Income. Interest income was $1.2 million and $2.0 million in the 2025 quarter and the 2024 quarter, respectively. The decrease in interest income in the 2025 quarter was primarily attributable to lower excess cash balances in the 2025 quarter compared to the 2024 quarter.
Other Income (Expense). In the 2025 quarter and the 2024 quarter we recorded miscellaneous income of $0 and $36,000, respectively.
Interest Expense and Amortization of Discounts and Loan Costs. Interest expense and amortization of discounts and loan costs decreased $7.2 million, or 9.7%, to $66.8 million in the 2025 quarter compared to the 2024 quarter. The decrease was primarily due to lower cash interest expense and amortization of loan costs of $8.7 million on the Oaktree loan as a result of the pay off of the Oaktree loan in February 2025. Other decreases in the 2025 quarter were from a $6.2 million decrease from our Hotel Dispositions and a $322,000 decrease in interest expense at our comparable hotels, primarily due to lower interest rates on our variable rate debt. These decreases were partially offset by higher default interest and late charges recorded on mortgage loans in default of $6.7 million and $1.3 million from the Le Meridien. The average SOFR rates in the 2025 quarter and the 2024 quarter were 4.36% and 5.33%, respectively.
Interest Expense Associated with Hotels in Receivership. Interest expense associated with hotels in receivership decreased $2.1 million, from $12.1 million in the 2024 quarter to $10.0 million in the 2025 quarter. The decrease is due to three fewer hotels being under receivership in the 2025 quarter compared to the 2024 quarter. On July 2, 2024, the Courtyard Plano Legacy Park and the Residence Inn Plano were foreclosed on at a public auction. Additionally, on November 4, 2024, the receiver appointed for the KEYS Pool A and KEYS Pool B mortgage loans transferred the Courtyard Columbus Tipton Lakes to a third party purchaser. As a result, the contract asset and corresponding indebtedness associated with hotels in receivership and the accrued interest associated with hotels in receivership were reduced for the amounts attributable to each hotel. See note 7 to our consolidated financial statements.
Write-off of Premiums, Loan Costs and Exit Fees. Write-off of premiums, loan costs and exit fees increased to $4.6 million in the 2025 quarter compared to the 2024 quarter. In the 2025 quarter, we incurred fees of approximately $1.8 million related to loan refinances and modifications, $2.2 million related to prepayment penalties and exit fees on loan refinances, wrote-off $378,000 of unamortized loan costs and incurred $193,000 non-reimbursed legal fees relating to the repaying the Oaktree loan. In the 2024 quarter, we incurred fees of $18,000 related to loan refinances and modifications.
47

Gain (Loss) on Extinguishment of Debt. Gain (loss) on extinguishment of debt resulted in a gain of $13,000 in the 2025 quarter and loss of $45,000 in the 2024 quarter.
Realized and Unrealized Gain (Loss) on Derivatives. Realized and unrealized gain (loss) on derivatives changed $7.5 million from a $4.8 million gain in the 2024 quarter to a $2.7 million loss in the 2025 quarter. In the 2025 quarter, we recorded unrealized and realized losses of $2.3 million and $369,000, respectively, associated with interest rate caps and we recorded an unrealized loss of $901,000 from the revaluation of the embedded debt derivative in the Oaktree Agreement. These losses were partially offset by a realized gain of $692,000 related to payments from counterparties on interest rate caps and an unrealized gain of $184,000 associated with interest rate floors.
In the 2024 quarter, we recognized an unrealized gain of $2.6 million from the revaluation of the embedded debt derivative in the Oaktree Agreement and a realized gain of $8.7 million related to payments from counterparties on interest rate caps. These gains were partially offset by an unrealized loss of $6.6 million associated with interest rate caps.
Income Tax (Expense) Benefit. Income tax expense increased $14,000, from $303,000 in the 2024 quarter to $317,000 in the 2025 quarter.
(Income) Loss from Consolidated Entities Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests. Our noncontrolling interest partners in consolidated entities were allocated a loss of $1.8 million and $9,000 in the 2025 quarter and the 2024 quarter, respectively. At March 31, 2025, noncontrolling interests in consolidated entities represented an ownership interest of 70.7% in 815 Commerce MM and 1.30% in Stirling OP. See note 2 to our consolidated financial statements.
Net (Income) Loss Attributable to Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests in Operating Partnership. Noncontrolling interests in operating partnership were allocated a net loss of $451,000 in the 2025 quarter and net income of $853,000 in the 2024 quarter. Redeemable noncontrolling interests represented ownership interests of 1.60% and 1.25% in the operating partnership as of March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Liquidity
As of March 31, 2025, the Company held cash and cash equivalents of $85.8 million and restricted cash of $139.2 million, the vast majority of which is comprised of lender and manager-held reserves. As of March 31, 2025, $22.1 million was also due to the Company from third-party hotel managers, most of which is held by one of the Company’s managers and is available to fund hotel operating costs. At March 31, 2025, our net debt to gross assets was 70.9%.
The Company’s cash and cash equivalents are primarily comprised of corporate cash invested in short-term U.S. Treasury securities with maturity dates of less than 90 days and corporate cash held at commercial banks in Insured Cash Sweep (“ICS”) accounts, which are fully insured by the FDIC. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents also includes property-level operating cash deposited with commercial banks that have been designated as a Global Systemically Important Bank (“G-SIB”) by the Financial Stability Board (“FSB”) and a small amount deposited with other commercial banks.
Based on our current level of operations, our cash flow from operations, capital market activities, asset sales and our existing cash balances should be adequate to meet upcoming anticipated requirements for interest and principal payments on debt (excluding any potential final maturity payments and paydowns for extension tests), working capital, and capital expenditures for the next 12 months and dividends required to maintain our status as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes. With respect to upcoming maturities, no assurances can be given that we will be able to refinance our upcoming maturities. Additionally, no assurances can be given that we will obtain additional financings or, if we do, what the amount and terms will be. Our failure to obtain future financing under favorable terms could adversely impact our ability to execute our business strategy or may result in lender foreclosure.
Our cash position from operations is affected primarily by macro industry movements in occupancy and rates as well as our ability to control costs. Further, interest rates can greatly affect the cost of our debt service as well as the value of any financial hedges we may put in place. We monitor industry fundamentals and interest rates very closely. Capital expenditures above our reserves will affect cash flow as well and are impacted by inflation.
Certain of our loan agreements contain cash trap provisions that may be triggered if the performance of our hotels declines below a threshold. When these provisions are triggered, substantially all of the profit generated by our hotels is deposited directly into lockbox accounts and then swept into cash management accounts for the benefit of our various lenders. During a cash trap, certain disbursements from these hotel operating cash receipts would require consent of our lenders. At March 31, 2025, 29 of our hotels were in cash traps and approximately $2.6 million of our restricted cash was subject to these cash traps.
48

Our loans currently in cash traps may remain subject to cash trap provisions for a substantial period of time, which could limit our flexibility and adversely affect our financial condition or our qualification as a REIT.
We have extension options relating to certain property-level loans that will permit us to extend the maturity date of our loans if certain conditions are satisfied at the respective extension dates, including the achievement of debt yield targets required in order to extend such loans. To the extent we decide to extend the maturity date of the debt outstanding under the loans, we may be required to prepay a significant amount of the loans in order to meet the required debt yield targets. There can be no assurances that we will be able to meet the conditions for extensions pursuant to the respective terms of such loans.
If we violate covenants in our debt agreements, we could be required to repay all or a portion of our indebtedness before maturity at a time when we might be unable to arrange financing for such repayment on attractive terms, if at all. The assets of certain of our subsidiaries are pledged under non-recourse indebtedness and are not available to satisfy the debts and other obligations of Ashford Trust or Ashford Trust OP, our operating partnership, and the liabilities of such subsidiaries do not constitute the obligations of Ashford Trust or Ashford Trust OP.
Mortgage and mezzanine loans are nonrecourse to the borrowers, except for customary exceptions or carve-outs that trigger recourse liability to the borrowers in certain limited instances. Recourse obligations typically include only the payment of costs and liabilities suffered by lenders as a result of the occurrence of certain bad acts on the part of the borrower. However, in certain cases, carve-outs could trigger recourse obligations on the part of the borrower with respect to repayment of all or a portion of the outstanding principal amount of the loans. We have entered into customary guaranty agreements pursuant to which we guaranty payment of any recourse liabilities of the borrowers that result from non-recourse carve-outs (which include, but are not limited to, fraud, misrepresentation, willful conduct resulting in waste, misappropriations of rents following an event of default, voluntary bankruptcy filings, unpermitted transfers of collateral and certain environmental liabilities). In the opinion of management, none of these guaranty agreements, either individually or in the aggregate, are likely to have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, or financial condition.
We have entered into certain customary guaranty agreements pursuant to which we guaranty payment of any recourse liabilities of our subsidiaries or joint ventures that may result from non-recourse carve-outs, which include, but are not limited to, fraud, misrepresentation, willful misconduct resulting in waste, misappropriations of rents following an event of default, voluntary bankruptcy filings, unpermitted transfers of collateral, delinquency of trade payables and certain environmental liabilities. Certain of these guarantees represent a guaranty of material amounts, and if we are required to make payments under those guarantees, our liquidity could be adversely affected.
We are committed to an investment strategy where we will pursue hotel-related investments as suitable situations arise. Funds for future hotel-related investments are expected to be derived, in whole or in part, from cash on hand, future borrowings under a credit facility or other loans, or proceeds from additional issuances of common stock, preferred stock (including net proceeds from the sale of any shares of Series J Preferred Stock or Series K Preferred Stock), or other securities, asset sales, and joint ventures. However, we have no formal commitment or understanding to invest in additional assets, and there can be no assurance that we will successfully make additional investments. We may, when conditions are suitable, consider additional capital raising opportunities.
Our existing hotel properties are mostly located in developed areas with competing hotel properties. Future occupancy, ADR, and RevPAR of any individual hotel could be materially and adversely affected by an increase in the number or quality of competitive hotel properties, home sharing companies or apartment operators offering short-term rentals in its market area. Competition could also affect the quality and quantity of future investment opportunities.

Debt Transactions
The Company continues to work with the lender of the KEYS A and KEYS B loan pools on a consensual transfer of ownership of those hotels to the lender, and the Company anticipates that transfer could occur in 2025. The original lenders previously transferred the loans to a securitization trust. On March 1, 2024, the Company received notice that the hotel properties that secured the KEYS Pool A and KEYS Pool B loans have been transferred to a court-appointed receiver. Below is a summary of the hotel properties that secured the KEYS Pool A and Pool B loans:
KEYS A Loan Pool
Courtyard Columbus Tipton Lakes – Columbus, IN
Courtyard Old Town – Scottsdale, AZ
Residence Inn Hughes Center – Las Vegas, NV
Residence Inn Phoenix Airport – Phoenix, AZ
Residence Inn San Jose Newark – Newark, CA
SpringHill Suites Manhattan Beach – Hawthorne, CA
SpringHill Suites Plymouth Meeting – Plymouth Meeting, PA
KEYS B Loan Pool
Courtyard Basking Ridge – Basking Ridge, NJ
Courtyard Newark Silicon Valley – Newark, CA
Courtyard Oakland Airport – Oakland, CA
Courtyard Plano Legacy Park – Plano, TX
Residence Inn Plano – Plano, TX
SpringHill Suites BWI Airport – Baltimore, MD
TownePlace Suites Manhattan Beach – Hawthorne, CA
We derecognized the hotel properties that secured the KEYS Pool A and KEYS Pool B loans from our consolidated balance sheet in March 2024, when the receiver took control of the hotel properties, and accordingly recognized a gain of $133.9 million, which is included in “gain (loss) on derecognition of assets” in our consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024. We recorded a contract asset of $378.2 million as of March 31, 2024, which represented the liabilities from which we expect to be released upon final resolution with the lenders on the KEYS Pool A and KEYS Pool B mortgage loans in exchange for the transfer of ownership of the respective hotel properties. On July 2, 2024, the Courtyard Plano Legacy Park and the Residence Inn Plano were foreclosed on at a public auction. Additionally, on November 4, 2024, the receiver appointed for the KEYS Pool A and KEYS Pool B mortgage loans transferred the Courtyard Columbus Tipton Lakes to a third party purchaser.
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, we recognized an additional gain of $10.0 million, which is included in “gain (loss) on derecognition of assets” in our consolidated statement of operations that increased the contract asset by a corresponding amount. The KEYS Pool A and the KEYS Pool B mortgage loans, as well as all accrued and unpaid interest, default charges and late fees will remain liabilities until final resolution with the lenders is concluded, and thus are included in “indebtedness associated with hotels in receivership” and “accrued interest associated with hotels in receivership” on our consolidated balance sheets.
On February 12, 2025, the Company closed on a $580 million refinancing secured by 16 hotels. The financing includes the hotels that were previously part of the Company’s KEYS Pool C Loan, KEYS Pool D Loan, KEYS Pool E Loan, and the BAML Pool 3 Loan, together with the Westin Princeton. The previous loans had a combined outstanding loan balance of approximately $438.7 million. The new financing is non-recourse, has a two-year term with three one-year extension options, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, and bears interest at a floating interest rate of SOFR + 4.37%. The Company used approximately $72 million of the excess proceeds to completely pay off the remaining balance on the Oaktree Credit Agreement, including the $30.0 million exit fee.
On February 24, 2025, the Company amended its mortgage loan secured by the 141-room Hotel Indigo Atlanta Midtown in Atlanta, Georgia. Terms of the amendment included extending the current maturity date to February 2026 and adding one one-year extension option, subject to satisfaction of certain conditions.
On March 6, 2025, the $22.1 million non-recourse mortgage loan secured by the Hilton Scotts Valley reached final maturity and was not repaid resulting in a default under the terms and conditions of the mortgage loan agreement. The Company is in active discussions with the lender regarding a multi-year extension of the mortgage loan.
50

On April 14, 2025, the Company successfully extended its Morgan Stanley Pool mortgage loan secured by 17 hotels. The loan had an original final maturity date in November of 2024. The extension provides for an initial maturity in March of 2026 and two, one-year extension options, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, with a final maturity date in March of 2028. The loan has a current balance of $409.8 million and continues to bear interest at a floating rate of SOFR + 3.39%.
Equity Transactions
The board of directors has approved a stock repurchase program (the “Repurchase Program”) to acquire shares of the Company’s common stock and preferred stock having an aggregate value of up to $200 million. No shares have been repurchased under the Repurchase Program. The ability to make repurchases under the Repurchase Program is subject to the same financial factors that must be taken into account in declaring a dividend as discussed herein under “Distribution Policy.”
The Company has a distribution agreement with Virtu (the “Virtu Equity Distribution Agreement”), to sell from time to time shares of the Company’s common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $100 million. We will pay Virtu a commission of approximately 1% of the gross sales price of the shares of our common stock sold. The Company may also sell some or all of the shares of our common stock to Virtu as principal for its own account at a price agreed upon at the time of sale. As of May 12, 2025, the Company has issued approximately 813,000 shares of common stock for gross proceeds of approximately $10.9 million under the Virtu Equity Distribution Agreement.
On April 29, 2025, the Company filed a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 with the SEC relating to common stock, preferred stock, depositary shares, debt securities, warrants, rights and units that we may sell from time to time in one or more offerings up to a total dollar amount of $500,000,000 on terms to be determined at the time of sale. The registration statement was declared effective on May 8, 2025. As of May 12, 2025, the Company has not issued any securities from this registration statement.
On December 13, 2024, the Company filed an initial registration statement on Form S-11 with the SEC, as amended on January 23, 2025, related to the Company’s non-traded Series L Redeemable Preferred Stock and Series M Redeemable Preferred Stock. The registration statement was declared effective by the SEC on February 7, 2025, and contemplates the offering of up to (i) 8.4 million shares of Series L Redeemable Preferred Stock and 3.6 million shares of Series M Redeemable Preferred Stock in a primary offering and (ii) 2.8 million shares of Series L Redeemable Preferred Stock and 1.2 million shares of Series M Redeemable Preferred Stock pursuant to a dividend reinvestment plan. On February 7, 2025, we filed our prospectus for the offering with the SEC. Ashford Securities, a subsidiary of Ashford Inc., serves as the dealer manager for the offering. As of May 12, 2025, the Company has issued approximately 50,000 shares (exclusive of the dividend reinvestment plan shares) of Series L Preferred Stock and received net proceeds of approximately $1.0 million and approximately 44,000 shares (exclusive of the dividend reinvestment plan shares) of Series M Preferred Stock and received net proceeds of approximately $1.0 million.
On March 4, 2022, the Company filed an initial registration statement on Form S-3 with the SEC, as amended on April 29, 2022, related to the Company’s non-traded Series J Preferred Stock and Series K Preferred Stock. The registration statement was declared effective by the SEC on May 4, 2022, and contemplates the offering of up to (i) 20.0 million shares of Series J Preferred Stock or Series K Preferred Stock in a primary offering and (ii) 8.0 million shares of Series J Preferred Stock or Series K Preferred Stock pursuant to a dividend reinvestment plan. On May 5, 2022, we filed our prospectus for the offering with the SEC. On March 31, 2025, the Company concluded it’s offering of its Series J Preferred Stock and Series K Preferred Stock. Ashford Securities, a subsidiary of Ashford Inc., served as the dealer manager for the offering. As of May 12, 2025, the Company has issued approximately 7.7 million shares (exclusive of the dividend reinvestment plan shares) of Series J Preferred Stock and received net proceeds of approximately $172.6 million and approximately 799,000 shares (exclusive of the dividend reinvestment plan shares) of Series K Preferred Stock and received net proceeds of approximately $19.4 million.
Sources and Uses of Cash
Our principal sources of funds to meet our cash requirements include cash on hand, cash flow from operations, capital market activities, property refinancing proceeds and asset sales. Additionally, our principal uses of funds are expected to include possible operating shortfalls, owner-funded capital expenditures, dividends, new investments, and debt interest and principal payments. Items that impacted our cash flow and liquidity during the periods indicated are summarized as follows:
Net Cash Flows Provided by (Used in) Operating Activities. Net cash flows used in operating activities were $25.0 million and $46.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Cash flows used in operations were impacted by changes in hotel operations, our hotel dispositions and derecognized assets, as well as the timing of collecting receivables from hotel guests, paying vendors and settling with derivative counterparties, related parties and hotel managers.
51

Net Cash Flows Provided by (Used in) Investing Activities. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, net cash flows provided by investing activities were $99.5 million. Cash inflows consisted of $119.2 million of net proceeds from the disposition of the Courtyard Boston and $213,000 from property insurance proceeds. Cash inflows were partially offset by cash outflows of $19.9 million for capital improvements made to various hotel properties.
For the three months ended March 31, 2024, net cash flows used in investing activities were $16.8 million. Cash outflows consisted of $33.9 million for capital improvements made to various hotel properties and $1.9 million from the issuance of a note receivable. Cash outflows were partially offset by cash inflows of $18.9 million of net proceeds from the disposition of assets and hotel properties and $154,000 from property insurance proceeds.
Net Cash Flows Provided by (Used in) Financing Activities. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, net cash flows used in financing activities were $70.0 million. Cash outflows primarily consisted of $523.5 million for repayments of indebtedness, $33.6 million for payments of loan costs and exit fees, $4.3 million of payments for derivatives and $5.6 million of payments for preferred dividends. Cash outflows were partially offset by cash inflows from $471.6 million of borrowing on indebtedness, $23.7 million of net proceeds from preferred stock offerings and proceeds of $1.9 million from counterparties from in-the-money interest rate caps.
For the three months ended March 31, 2024, net cash flows provided by financing activities were $133,000. Cash inflows primarily consisted of $20.9 million of net proceeds from preferred stock offerings, $2.0 million of net proceeds from common stock offerings, $9.1 million from counterparties from in-the-money interest rate caps and $2.0 million of contributions from noncontrolling interest in consolidating entities. Cash inflows were offset by cash outflows of $22.1 million for repayments of indebtedness, $1.9 million for payments of loan costs and exit fees, $4.6 million of payments for preferred dividends and $5.3 million of payments for derivatives.
Dividend Policy. Distributions are authorized by our board of directors and declared by us based upon a variety of factors deemed relevant by our directors. The board of directors will continue to review our distribution policy on at least a quarterly basis. Our ability to pay distributions to our preferred or common stockholders will depend, in part, upon our receipt of distributions from our operating partnership. This, in turn, may depend upon receipt of lease payments with respect to our properties from indirect subsidiaries of our operating partnership, the management of our properties by our hotel managers and general business conditions. Distributions to our stockholders are generally taxable to our stockholders as ordinary income. However, since a portion of our investments are equity ownership interests in hotels, which result in depreciation and non-cash charges against our income, a portion of our distributions may constitute a non-taxable return of capital, to the extent of a stockholder’s tax basis in the stock. To the extent that it is consistent with maintaining our REIT status, we may maintain accumulated earnings of Ashford TRS in that entity.
On December 10, 2024, our board of directors reviewed and approved our 2025 dividend policy. We do not anticipate paying any dividends on our outstanding common stock for any quarter during 2025 and expect to pay dividends on our outstanding preferred stock during 2025. Our board of directors will continue to review our dividend policy and make future announcements with respect thereto. We may incur indebtedness to meet distribution requirements imposed on REITs under the Code to the extent that working capital and cash flow from our investments are insufficient to fund required distributions. We may pay dividends in excess of our cash flow.
SEASONALITY
Our properties’ operations historically have been seasonal as certain properties maintain higher occupancy rates during the summer months, while certain other properties maintain higher occupancy rates during the winter months. This seasonality pattern can cause fluctuations in our quarterly lease revenue under our percentage leases. Quarterly revenue also may be adversely affected by renovations and repositionings, our managers’ effectiveness in generating business and by events beyond our control, such as pandemics, extreme weather conditions, natural disasters, terrorist attacks or alerts, civil unrest, government shutdowns, airline strikes or reduced airline capacity, economic factors and other considerations affecting travel. To the extent that cash flows from operations are insufficient during any quarter to enable us to make quarterly distributions to maintain our REIT status due to temporary or seasonal fluctuations in lease revenue, we expect to utilize cash on hand, borrowings and common stock to fund required distributions. However, we cannot make any assurances that we will make distributions in the future.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMA TES
The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and
52

expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Our accounting policies that are critical or most important to understanding our financial condition and results of operations and that require management to make the most difficult judgments are described in our 2024 Form 10-K. There have been no material changes in these critical accounting policies.
NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
The following non-GAAP presentations of EBITDA, EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDAre, FFO and Adjusted FFO are presented to help our investors evaluate our operating performance.
EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) before interest expense and amortization of discounts and loan costs, net, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, as adjusted to reflect only the Company’s portion of EBITDA of unconsolidated entities. In addition, we exclude impairment on real estate, gain/loss on consolidation of VIE and disposition of assets and hotel properties, gain/loss on derecognition of assets and gain/loss of unconsolidated entities to calculate EBITDAre, as defined by NAREIT.
We then further adjust EBITDAre to exclude certain additional items such as write-off of premiums, loan costs and exit fees, other income/expense, net, transaction and conversion costs, stock/unit-based compensation and non-cash items, such as amortization of unfavorable contract liabilities, realized and unrealized gains/losses on derivative instruments, gains/losses on extinguishment of debt, severance, as well as our portion of adjustments to EBITDAre of unconsolidated entities.
We present EBITDA, EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre because we believe they are useful to an investor in evaluating our operating performance because it provides investors with an indication of our ability to incur and service debt, to satisfy general operating expenses, to make capital expenditures and to fund other cash needs or reinvest cash into our business. We also believe it helps investors meaningfully evaluate and compare the results of our operations from period to period by removing the effect of our asset base (primarily depreciation and amortization) from our operating results. Our management team also uses EBITDA as one measure in determining the value of acquisitions and dispositions. EBITDA, EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre as calculated by us may not be comparable to EBITDA, EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre reported by other companies that do not define EBITDA, EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre exactly as we define the terms. EBITDA, EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre do not represent cash generated from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP, and should not be considered as an alternative to operating income (loss) or net income (loss) determined in accordance with GAAP as an indicator of performance or as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities as determined by GAAP as an indicator of liquidity.

We calculate FFO and Adjusted FFO in the following table. FFO is calculated on the basis defined by NAREIT, which is net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders, computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains or losses on consolidation of VIE and disposition of assets and hotel properties, plus depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, impairment charges on real estate assets, and after adjustments for unconsolidated entities and noncontrolling interests in the operating partnership. Adjustments for unconsolidated entities are calculated to reflect FFO on the same basis. NAREIT developed FFO as a relative measure of performance of an equity REIT to recognize that income-producing real estate historically has not depreciated on the basis determined by GAAP. Our calculation of Adjusted FFO excludes write-off of premiums, loan costs and exit fees, other income/expense, net, transaction and conversion costs, legal, advisory and settlement costs, stock/unit-based compensation, gains/losses on insurance settlements and non-cash items such as deemed dividends on redeemable preferred stock, amortization of loan costs, amortization of credit facility exit fees, default interest and late fees, unrealized gains/losses on derivative instruments, gains/losses on extinguishment of debt and preferred stock, severance, and interest expense associated with hotels in receivership and our portion of adjustments to FFO related to unconsolidated entities. We exclude items from Adjusted FFO that are either non-cash or are not part of our core operations in order to provide a period-over-period comparison of our operating results. We present FFO and Adjusted FFO because we consider FFO and Adjusted FFO important supplemental measures of our operational performance and believe they are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of REITs, many of which present FFO and Adjusted FFO when reporting their results. FFO and Adjusted FFO are intended to exclude GAAP historical cost depreciation and amortization, which assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes ratably over time. Historically, however, real estate values have risen or fallen with market conditions. Because FFO and Adjusted FFO exclude depreciation and amortization related to real estate assets, gains and losses from real property dispositions and impairment losses on real estate assets, FFO and Adjusted FFO provide performance measures that, when compared year over year, reflect the effect to operations from trends in occupancy, guestroom rates, operating costs, development activities and interest costs, providing perspective not immediately apparent from net income. We consider FFO and Adjusted FFO to be appropriate measures of our ongoing normalized operating performance as a REIT. We compute FFO in accordance with our interpretation of standards established by NAREIT, which may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs that either do not define the term in accordance with the current NAREIT definition or interpret the NAREIT definition differently than we do. FFO and Adjusted FFO do not represent cash generated from operating activities as determined by GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to (a) GAAP net income or loss as an indication of our financial performance or (b) GAAP cash flows from operating activities as a measure of our liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to satisfy our cash needs, including our ability to make cash distributions. However, to facilitate a clear understanding of our historical operating results, we believe that FFO and Adjusted FFO should be considered along with our net income or loss and cash flows reported in the consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 3.QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK
Our primary market risk exposure consists of changes in interest rates on borrowings under our debt instruments. The analysis below presents the sensitivity of the market value of our financial instruments to selected changes in market interest rates.
As of March 31, 2025, our total indebtedness of $2.7 billion included $2.6 billion of variable-rate debt. The impact on our results of operations of a 25-basis point change in interest rate on the outstanding balance of variable-rate debt at March 31, 2025 would be approximately $6.5 million per year. However, we currently have various interest rate caps in place that limit this exposure. Interest rate changes have no impact on the remaining $88.8 million of fixed-rate debt.
The above amounts were determined based on the impact of hypothetical interest rates on our borrowings and assume no changes in our capital structure. As the information presented above includes only those exposures that existed as of March 31, 2025, it does not consider exposures or positions that could arise after that date. Accordingly, the information presented herein has limited predictive value. As a result, the ultimate realized gain or loss with respect to interest rate fluctuations will depend on exposures that arise during the period, the hedging strategies in place at the time, and the related interest rates.
ITEM 4.CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, our management has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of March 31, 2025 (“Evaluation Date”). Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective: (i) to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms; and (ii) to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1.LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
On December 20, 2016, a class action lawsuit was filed against one of the Company’s hotel management companies in the Superior Court of the State of California in and for the County of Contra Costa alleging violations of certain California employment laws, which class action affects nine hotels owned by subsidiaries of the Company. The court has entered an order granting class certification with respect to: (i) a statewide class of non-exempt employees of our manager who were allegedly deprived of rest breaks as a result of our manager’s previous written policy requiring its employees to stay on premises during rest breaks; and (ii) a derivative class of non-exempt former employees of our manager who were not paid for allegedly missed breaks upon separation from employment. Notices to potential class members were sent out on February 2, 2021. Potential class members had until April 4, 2021 to opt out of the class; however, the total number of employees in the class has not been definitively determined and is the subject of continuing discovery. The opt-out period has been extended until such time that discovery has concluded. In May 2023, the trial court requested additional briefing from the parties to determine whether the case should be maintained, dismissed, or the class de-certified. After submission of the briefs, the court requested that the parties submit stipulations for the court to rule upon. On February 13, 2024, the judge ordered the parties to submit additional briefing related to on-site breaks. A tentative settlement has been reached subject to the respective parties obtaining various approvals. As of March 31, 2025, the estimated settlement liability amount has been accrued.
On August 4, 2020, a lawsuit, Benjamin Zermeno v. Beverly Hills Marriott, was filed in Alameda County Superior Court as a PAGA representative action alleging various wage and hour violations of all Remington managed California properties. The plaintiff’s individual claims were compelled to arbitration. On August 18, 2022, another lawsuit, Cristina Catalano v. Beverly Hills Marriott and Mr. C, was filed as a PAGA representative action alleging various wage and hour violations of all Remington managed California properties. The co-defendant separately settled and the individual arbitration has also settled. A private mediation was held on December 27, 2024 to globally resolve the three outstanding matters. A tentative settlement was reached subject to the parties finalizing the agreement and court approval. As of March 31, 2025, the estimated settlement liability amount has been accrued.
59

We are also engaged in other legal proceedings that have arisen but have not been fully adjudicated. To the extent the claims giving rise to these legal proceedings are not covered by insurance, they relate to the following general types of claims: employment matters, tax matters and matters relating to compliance with applicable law (for example, the Americans with Disabilities Act and similar state laws). The likelihood of loss from these legal proceedings is based on the definitions within contingency accounting literature. We recognize a loss when we believe the loss is both probable and reasonably estimable. Based on the information available to us relating to these legal proceedings and/or our experience in similar legal proceedings, we do not believe the ultimate resolution of these proceedings, either individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flow.
During the quarter ended September 30, 2023, we had a cyber incident that resulted in the potential exposure of certain personal information. We have completed an investigation and have identified certain information that may have been exposed and notified potentially impacted individuals pursuant to applicable state guidelines. All systems have been restored. In February of 2024, two class action lawsuits were filed, one in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas and a second in the 68th District Court for Dallas County related to the cyber incident. The lawsuit filed in the 68th District Court was subsequently dismissed and refiled in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas. On March 12, 2024, the court ordered the two cases be consolidated. The consolidated case is currently pending in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas. The parties have reached an agreement, subject to final Court approval, to resolve the class action suit. The amount of the class settlement is approximately $485,000. Ashford Inc. expects the entire settlement amount to be reimbursed through insurance coverage. The hearing for final Court approval of the settlement is scheduled for August 27, 2025.
Our assessment may change depending upon the development of any current or future legal proceedings, and the final results of such legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty. If we ultimately do not prevail in one or more of these legal matters, and the associated realized losses exceed our current estimates of the range of potential losses, our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows could be materially adversely affected in future periods.
ITEM 1A.RISK FACTORS
The discussion of our business and operations should be read together with the risk factors contained in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which describe various risks and uncertainties to which we are or may become subject. These risks and uncertainties have the potential to affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, strategies, or prospects in a material and adverse manner.
