Equity [Abstract] |
Equity and Stock-Based Compensation | Equity and Stock-Based Compensation Equity Offering—On March 1, 2017, we commenced an underwritten public offering of approximately 5.8 million shares of common stock at $12.15 per share for gross proceeds of $69.9 million. The offering closed on March 7, 2017. The net proceeds from the sale of the shares after underwriting discounts and offering expense were approximately $66.5 million. Dividends—Common stock dividends declared for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, were $5.1 million and $10.2 million, respectively. Common stock dividends declared for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, were $3.2 million and $6.0 million, respectively. Performance Stock Units—The compensation committee of the board of directors of the Company approves grants of PSUs to certain executive officers 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 and when the applicable vesting criteria have been achieved following the end of the performance and service period of three years from the issuance date. The target number of PSUs may be adjusted from 0% to 200% based on achievement of a specified relative total stockholder return based on the formula determined by the Company’s Compensation Committee on the grant date. The performance criteria for the PSUs are based on market conditions under the relevant literature, and the PSUs were granted to non-employees. At June 30, 2017, the outstanding PSUs had a fair value of $3.0 million. We recorded credits to compensation expense in the amount of $8,000 and $808,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, due to lower fair values of the PSUs. We recorded expense of $810,000 and $412,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively, These amounts are included in “advisory services fee” on our condensed consolidated statements of operations. As of June 30, 2017, we had unamortized compensation expense of $2.1 million related to PSUs which is expected to be recognized over a period of 2.5 years, subject to future mark to market adjustments. Restricted Stock Units—Stock-based compensation expense of $271,000 and $389,000 was recognized for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, in connection with restricted stock units awarded to employees of Ashford LLC and is included in “advisory services fee” on our condensed consolidated statements of operations. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, this expense was $246,000 and $269,000, respectively. There were also restricted stock units granted to certain employees of Remington Lodging, and the associated expenses are recorded as a component of “management fees” on our condensed consolidated statements of operations. For both the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, expense related to such grants was $34,000. In addition, stock-based compensation expense of $163,000 and $181,000 was recognized for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, and expense of $177,000 was recognized for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 in connection with common stock issued to our independent directors, which vested immediately, and is included in “corporate general and administrative” expense on our condensed consolidated statements of operations. At June 30, 2017, the outstanding restricted shares had a fair value of $4.8 million.

The repurchase program does not have an expiration date. The specific timing, manner, price, amount and other terms of the repurchases is at management’s discretion and depends on market conditions, corporate and regulatory requirements and other factors. The Company is not required to repurchase shares under the repurchase program, and may modify, suspend or terminate the repurchase program at any time for any reason. On April 8, 2016, our board of directors authorized utilizing up to $50 million to repurchase common stock. No shares were repurchased during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, pursuant to this authorization.
