HIGHLIGHTS
- RevPAR. Room revenue per available room (“RevPAR”) for the Company’s composite portfolio, which includes the rooms participating in our rental programs at the Hyde Resort & Residences and the Hyde Beach House Resort & Residences, increased to $104.19 for the three months ended September 30, 2022, from $90.16 in the comparable period in 2021 and was 4.1% above RevPAR of $100.06 for the comparable period in 2019. Changes in RevPAR were driven by an increase in the average daily rate (“ADR”) to $168.03 for the three months ended September 30, 2022, from $160.13 for the comparable period in 2021 and by an increase in occupancy to 62.0% from 56.3% in the comparable 2021 period. However, while ADR for the three months ended September 30, 2022, was 15.5% higher than ADR for the comparable period in 2019, occupancy for the three months ended September 30, 2022, was still 6.8% below the 68.8% occupancy achieved during the comparable 2019 period.
- Revenue. Total revenue increased to approximately $39.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 from approximately $35.5 million during the comparable period in 2021. Total revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2022 was 7.8% below total revenue of approximately $42.5 million during the comparable 2019 period.
- Hotel EBITDA. The Company increased production of Hotel EBITDA to approximately $9.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, from approximately $8.9 million during the comparable period in 2021. Hotel EBITDA for the three months ended September 30, 2022, was approximately $0.9 million above the Hotel EBITDA generated in the comparable 2019 period. For the nine-month period ending September 30, 2022, Hotel EBITDA increased 51.7% or approximately $11.8 million over the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Hotel EBITDA for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, was approximately $3.1 million below the approximately $37.7 million Hotel EBITDA produced during the comparable 2019 period.
- Adjusted FFO attributable to common stockholders and unitholders. For the three-month period ending September 30, 2022, adjusted FFO attributable to common stockholders and unitholders increased 20,450.1%, or approximately $2.4 million, over the three months ended September 30, 2021, from approximately ($0.01) million to approximately $2.4 million. For the nine-month period ending September 30, 2022, adjusted FFO attributable to common stockholders and unitholders increased 376.4% or approximately $13.4 million over the nine months ended September 30, 2021.
- Common Dividends. As approved by its Board of Directors, the Company has suspended its regular quarterly cash dividend in order to preserve liquidity. Accordingly, the Company did not pay a dividend on its common stock and common units for the quarter ended September 30, 2022. The Board of Directors will continue to monitor the situation and assess future quarterly common dividend declarations. Per the terms of the Company’s preferred stock, the Company cannot make any common dividend payments unless full cumulative distributions have been declared and paid for past distribution periods for each series of preferred stock.
Dave Folsom, President and Chief Executive Officer of Sotherly Hotels Inc., commented, "The ongoing recovery in the lodging industry helped propel our portfolio’s third quarter results, which saw hotel EBITDA increase 10.0% over the third quarter of both 2021 and 2019. The Company’s Adjusted FFO of $0.12/share exceeded Adjusted FFO in the third quarter of 2019 by 71.0%. We continued to witness the incremental return of group demand and transient business travel at our hotels, a trend that we see continuing into the fourth quarter and into 2023. ADR continues to be a significant driver in our portfolio’s results. Third quarter ADR was up approximately 11.0% from 2019 and was the highest ADR we have seen in the quarter in the Company’s history. Lastly, we were spared any negative results from Hurricane Ian in September, as our portfolio experienced no physical damage and only nominal revenue impact from the storm."
Estimated Change In Cash
The Company estimates the cash used across its portfolio for the fourth quarter to be no more than $0.60 million based on the following assumptions:
- Hotel-level positive cash flows of approximately $10.00 million to $10.25 million;
- Corporate-level G&A cash use of $1.55 million;
- Capital expenditures of approximately $2.40 million to $2.65 million; and
- Scheduled aggregate debt service of approximately $6.30 million.
Balance Sheet/Liquidity
As of September 30, 2022, the Company had approximately $30.0 million of available cash and cash equivalents, of which approximately $7.0 million was reserved for real estate taxes, insurance, capital improvements and certain other expenses or otherwise restricted. The Company had principal balances, net of approximately $330.3 million in outstanding debt, including mortgage and unsecured principal balances, at a weighted average interest rate of approximately 4.88%.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company considers the non-GAAP financial measures of FFO (including FFO per share), Adjusted FFO, EBITDA and hotel EBITDA to be key supplemental measures of the Company’s performance and could be considered along with, not alternatives to, net income (loss) as a measure of the Company’s performance. These measures do not represent cash generated from operating activities determined by generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) or amounts available for the Company’s discretionary use and should not be considered alternative measures of net income, cash flows from operations or any other operating performance measure prescribed by GAAP.
FFO
Industry analysts and investors use Funds from Operations (“FFO”), as a supplemental operating performance measure of an equity REIT. FFO is calculated in accordance with the definition adopted by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”). FFO, as defined by NAREIT, represents net income or loss determined in accordance with GAAP, excluding extraordinary items as defined under GAAP and gains or losses from sales of previously depreciated operating real estate assets, gains or losses from involuntary conversions of assets, plus certain non-cash items such as real estate asset depreciation and amortization or impairment, stock compensation costs and after adjustment for any noncontrolling interest from unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with GAAP implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values instead have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, many investors and analysts have considered the presentation of operating results for real estate companies that use historical cost accounting to be insufficient by itself.
The Company considers FFO to be a useful measure of adjusted net income (loss) for reviewing comparative operating and financial performance because we believe FFO is most directly comparable to net income (loss), which remains the primary measure of performance, because by excluding gains or losses related to sales of previously depreciated operating real estate assets and excluding real estate asset depreciation and amortization, FFO assists in comparing the operating performance of a company’s real estate between periods or as compared to different companies. Although FFO is intended to be a REIT industry standard, other companies may not calculate FFO in the same manner as we do, and investors should not assume that FFO as reported by us is comparable to FFO as reported by other REITs.
Adjusted FFO
The Company presents adjusted FFO, including adjusted FFO per share and unit, which adjusts for certain additional items that are not in NAREIT’s definition of FFO including changes in deferred income taxes, any unrealized gain (loss) on hedging instruments or warrant derivative, loan impairment losses, losses on early extinguishment of debt, gains on extinguishment of preferred stock, aborted offering costs, loan modification fees, franchise termination costs, costs associated with the departure of executive officers, litigation settlement, over-assessed real estate taxes on appeal, management contract termination costs, operating asset depreciation and amortization, change in control gains or losses, ESOP and stock compensation expenses and acquisition transaction costs. We exclude these items as we believe it allows for meaningful comparisons between periods and among other REITs and is more indicative than FFO of the on-going performance of our business and assets. Our calculation of adjusted FFO may be different from similar measures calculated by other REITs.
EBITDA
The Company believes that excluding the effect of non-operating expenses and non-cash charges, and the portion of those items related to unconsolidated entities, all of which are also based on historical cost accounting and may be of limited significance in evaluating current performance, can help eliminate the accounting effects of depreciation and financing decisions and facilitate comparisons of core operating profitability between periods and between REITs, even though EBITDA also does not represent an amount that accrued directly to shareholders.
Hotel EBITDA
The Company defines hotel EBITDA as net income or loss excluding: (1) interest expense, (2) interest income, (3) income tax provision or benefit, (4) depreciation and amortization, (5) impairment of long-lived assets or investments, (6) gains and losses on disposal and/or sale of assets, (7) gains and losses on involuntary conversions of assets, (8) unrealized gains and losses on derivative instruments not included in other comprehensive income, (9) loss on early debt extinguishment, (10) gain on exercise of development right, (11) corporate general and administrative expense, and (12) other operating revenue not related to our wholly-owned portfolio. We believe this provides a more complete understanding of the operating results over which our wholly-owned hotels and its operators have direct control. We believe hotel EBITDA provides investors with supplemental information on the on-going operational performance of our hotels and the effectiveness of third-party management companies operating our business on a property-level basis. The Company’s calculation of hotel EBITDA may be different from similar measures calculated by other REITs.
