“AHIP’s portfolio of premium branded select service hotel properties continued to demonstrate strong demand metrics in Q3 2024.” said Jonathan Korol, CEO. “Same property ADR, occupancy and RevPAR all achieved growth in the current quarter. Cost inflation is decelerating across many cost categories, and we are making progress on operating margins with wage increase moderating and less reliance on overtime and contract labor.”

Mr. Korol added: “In 2024, AHIP made significant progress on our plan to reduce debt and high-grade the portfolio through asset sales and loan refinancings. AHIP has completed the dispositions of eleven hotel properties and has five additional hotel properties under contract for sale for total gross proceeds of $165.2 million. These dispositions are expected to result in an improvement to the portfolio with a pro forma increase in RevPAR, NOI margin and EBITDA per hotel. AHIP also signed a non-binding term sheet with a major US Bank to refinance certain borrowing base hotel properties under our senior credit facility, which will significantly reduce the balance of our term loans and revolving credit facility in the fourth quarter of 2024.

Once completed, these steps will strengthen our liquidity and balance sheet and resolve all of our 2024 debt maturities. With the US economy remaining strong, we are positioned to benefit if the industry operating environment improves in 2025. We will continue to monitor macroeconomic conditions and operating performance, while considering further strategic opportunities to deliver value to unitholders over the long term.”

2024 THIRD QUARTER REVIEW

FINANCIAL AND OPERATIONAL HIGHLIGHTS

For the three months ended September 30, 2024, ADR, occupancy, and RevPAR were consistent with the same period in 2023. The improved RevPAR for the extended stay and select service properties was offset by lower RevPAR for the Embassy Suites properties.

NOI and normalized NOI were $19.5 million and $19.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, decreases of 12.6% and 12.7%, respectively, compared to NOI of $22.3 million and normalized NOI of $22.8 million for the same period in 2023. The decrease in NOI and normalized NOI was primarily due to the disposition of the seven hotel properties completed during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

NOI margin was 29.6% in the current quarter, a decrease of 60 bps compared to the same period in 2023. The decrease in NOI margin was due to higher operating expenses as a result of higher salaries and repair and maintenance expenses in the current quarter. Although certain operating expenses are expected to remain a challenge in 2024, the year-over-year NOI margin decline has improved from 270 bps in the first quarter of 2024 to 60 bps in the current quarter.

AHIP completed its property insurance renewal effective June 1, 2024, with a decrease in premiums compared to the prior period ended May 31, 2024. On an annualized basis, the decrease from the prior period is approximately $1.6 million, which will be recognized in earnings over a twelve-month period.

Diluted FFO per unit and normalized diluted FFO per unit were $0.06 and $0.07 for the third quarter of 2024, respectively, compared to diluted FFO per unit of $0.17 and normalized diluted FFO per unit of $0.11 for the same period in 2023. The decrease in normalized diluted FFO per unit was mainly due to lower NOI and higher financing costs, partially offset by lower corporate and administrative expenses in the current quarter.

SAME PROPERTY KPIs

The following table summarizes key performance indicators (“KPIs”) for the portfolio for the five most recent quarters with a comparison to the same period in the prior year.

Same property ADR in the current quarter is $135, an increase of 0.7% compared to the same period of 2023. Same property occupancy increased by 80 bps to 72.7% in the current quarter compared to the same period of 2023. The increase in ADR and occupancy is primarily attributable to higher demand for extended stay and select service properties.

Same property NOI margin decreased by 50 bps to 30.2% compared to the same period of 2023. The decrease in the same property NOI margin was due to higher operating expenses as a result of higher salaries and repair and maintenance expenses in the current quarter. Although certain operating expenses are expected to remain a challenge in 2024, the year-over-year same property NOI margin decline has improved for four consecutive quarters since the fourth quarter of 2023.

LEVERAGE AND LIQUIDITY

Debt to gross book value as at September 30, 2024 was 50.1%, a decrease of 180 bps compared to December 31, 2023. Debt to TTM EBITDA as at September 30, 2024 was 9.1x, a decrease of 1.0x compared to September 30, 2023. The improvement in debt to gross book value and debt to TTM EBITDA was due to the use of net proceeds from the completed dispositions to pay down CMBS mortgage debt and the term loans governed by the Sixth Amendment.

As at September 30, 2024, AHIP had $36.5 million in available liquidity, compared to $27.8 million as at December 31, 2023. The available liquidity of $36.5 million was comprised of an unrestricted cash balance of $25.8 million and borrowing availability of $10.7 million under the revolving credit facility. AHIP had an additional restricted cash balance of $35.4 million as at September 30, 2024.

CAPITAL RECYCLING

2024 Hotel Dispositions Summary

As of the date of the news release, AHIP has completed the dispositions of eleven properties for total gross proceeds of $112.4 million during the current financial year. In addition, AHIP has five hotel properties under purchase and sales agreements for total gross proceeds of $52.8 million. AHIP intends to use the net proceeds from these dispositions to repay certain CMBS mortgage loans and reduce the balance of the term loans governed by the Sixth Amendment.

After adjusting for an industry standard 4% FF&E reserve, the combined sales price for the 16 properties either sold in 2024 or currently under contract for sale represents a blended Cap Rate of 7.0% on 2023 annual hotel EBITDA. AHIP’s current enterprise value reflects an implied Cap Rate of 8.7% on 2023 annual hotel EBITDA for the portfolio of 58 hotel properties, excluding the five hotel properties in respect of which AHIP is in managed foreclosure as of September 30, 2024, based on the U.S. dollar closing price of US$0.44 per unit on the TSX on November 5, 2024.

AHIP intends to continue to execute its strategy to divest assets to reduce debt and is currently marketing a selected number of additional properties which are expected to demonstrate value above the current unit trading price.

INITIATIVES TO STRENGTHEN FINANCIAL POSITION AND PRESERVE UNITHOLDER VALUE

The Board of Directors (the “Board”), together with management, have implemented a plan to strengthen AHIP’s financial position and to preserve unitholder value. Initiatives, and progress made to date, are outlined below.

PLAN TO ADDRESS LOAN MATURITIES

AHIP has made significant progress with its plan to address the Company’s upcoming debt maturities. These efforts continue to improve leverage metrics.

To address the Q2 2024 commercial mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”) loan maturities of $22.3 million, AHIP completed the disposition of one hotel property and refinanced the balance of the loan in March 2024, specifically:

• AHIP completed the disposition of a hotel property in Harrisonburg, Virginia for gross proceeds of $8.6 million. The net proceeds were used to partially satisfy the non-recourse mortgage debt; and

• AHIP completed the CMBS refinancing for the remaining three assets secured against this loan with gross proceeds of $17.5 million prior to initial capital reserves contribution of approximately $5.0 million. The term of this new CMBS loan is five years at a fixed annual interest rate of 7.8%.

To address upcoming CMBS loan maturities, AHIP completed the dispositions of seven hotel properties since the beginning of the third quarter for total gross proceeds of $75.4 million, specifically:

• In August 2024, AHIP completed the dispositions of two hotel properties in Amarillo, Texas for gross proceeds of $9.3 million and $8.3 million, respectively. The CMBS mortgage loan of $16.0 million was fully repaid in the third quarter of 2024.

• In September 2024, AHIP completed the dispositions of two hotel properties in Ocala, Florida for gross proceeds of $11.1 million and $14.9 million, respectively. The CMBS mortgage loan of $19.0 million was fully repaid in the third quarter of 2024.

• In October and November 2024, AHIP completed the dispositions of two hotel properties in Statesville, North Carolina, and one hotel property in Melbourne, Florida for gross proceeds of $13.0 million, $12.2 million and $6.6 million, respectively. The CMBS mortgage loan of $24.9 million was fully repaid in the fourth quarter of 2024.

• In addition, 50% of the net proceeds remaining after the CMBS mortgage loan repayment from the dispositions of these seven hotel properties, which was $8.0 million, was used to pay down outstanding amounts under the term loans governed by the Sixth Amendment in the third and fourth quarters of 2024.

The Sixth Amendment dated November 7, 2023 (the “Sixth Amendment”), which governs AHIP’s revolving credit facility (the “RCF” or “revolving credit facility”) and certain term loans, includes a borrower option to extend the maturity of the RCF and term loans to June 2025, subject to three primary conditions: (i) reduction of the aggregate maximum facility size to $148.2 million from and after December 3, 2024; (ii) obtaining updated appraisals for the borrowing base properties in order to determine the value of such properties for purposes of setting the maximum borrowing availability under the Sixth Amendment, which is set based on a maximum loan to value ratio of 67.5%; and (iii) compliance with the terms of the Sixth Amendment at the time of the extension which includes among other things compliance with financial covenants including payout ratio and fixed charge coverage ratio.

• During the current quarter, AHIP completed the disposition of one hotel property in Egg Harbor, New Jersey for gross proceeds of $11.1 million. The net proceeds of $10.3 million were used to repay the term loans governed by the Sixth Amendment in the same period.

• In November 2024, AHIP completed the disposition of one hotel property in Houston, Texas for gross proceeds of $9.0 million. The net proceeds of $8.2 million were used to repay the term loans governed by the Sixth Amendment in the same period.

• AHIP made total repayments of $11.0 million during the current quarter, and additional repayments of $15.5 million since September 30, 2024, which reduced the balance of RCF and term loans pursuant to the Sixth Amendment to $156.0 million as of the date of the news release.
  

To further reduce the aggregate facility size before December 3, 2024:

• As of the date of the news release, AHIP has five hotel properties under purchase and sales agreements for total gross proceeds of $52.8 million with expected closing dates prior to December 3, 2024. The completion of these dispositions is expected to reduce the aggregate facility balance by approximately $23.4 million, which represents the required repayment amount under the terms of the Sixth Amendment.

• AHIP has also signed a non-binding term sheet with a major US Bank to refinance in the CMBS market certain borrowing base properties currently secured under the Sixth Amendment. Management is currently targeting to close this refinancing by the end of November 2024, subject to the completion of definitive legal documentation and other customary closing conditions. This refinancing, if completed, is expected to reduce the aggregate facility balance outstanding under the Sixth Amendment by approximately $60.0 million.

• Accordingly, AHIP expects to achieve the required paydown with either the asset sales or the refinancing prior to December 3, 2024. With both achieved, the aggregate facility balance under the Sixth Amendment would be reduced to approximately $72.6 million.

NON-IFRS AND OTHER FINANCIAL MEASURES

Management believes the following non-IFRS financial measures, non-IFRS ratios, capital management measures and supplementary financial measures are relevant measures to monitor and evaluate AHIP’s financial and operating performance. These measures and ratios do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. These measures and ratios are included to provide investors and management additional information and alternative methods for assessing AHIP’s financial and operating results and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for performance measures prepared in accordance with IFRS.

NON-IFRS FINANCIAL MEASURES:

FFO: FFO measures operating performance and is calculated in accordance with Real Property Association of Canada’s (“REALPAC”) definition. FFO – basic is calculated by adjusting loss and comprehensive income (loss) for depreciation and amortization, gain or loss on disposal of property, IFRIC 21 property taxes, fair value gain or loss, impairment of property, deferred income tax, and other applicable items. FFO – diluted is calculated as FFO – basic plus the interest, accretion, and amortization on convertible debentures if convertible debentures are dilutive. The most comparable IFRS measure to FFO is income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss), for which a reconciliation is provided in this news release.

AFFO: AFFO is defined as a recurring economic earnings measure and calculated in accordance with REALPAC’s definition. AFFO – basic is calculated as FFO – basic less maintenance capital expenditures. AFFO – diluted is calculated as FFO – diluted less maintenance capital expenditures. The most comparable IFRS measure to AFFO is income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss), for which a reconciliation is provided in this news release.

Normalized FFO: calculated as FFO adjusting for non-recurring items. For the three months ended September 30, 2024, normalized FFO is calculated as FFO excluding the non-recurring property damage insurance proceeds adjustment of $1.1 million recorded in the same period. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, normalized FFO is calculated as FFO excluding the non-recurring property damage insurance proceeds of $1.6 million recorded in the same period. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, normalized FFO is calculated as FFO excluding the non-recurring insurance proceeds of $5.4 million and $12.9 million, respectively, for property damage related to the weather-related damage at several hotel properties in late December 2022. The most comparable IFRS measure to normalized FFO is income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss), for which a reconciliation is provided in this news release.

Normalized NOI: calculated as NOI adjusting for non-recurring items. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, normalized NOI included the non-recurring insurance proceeds of $0.4 million and $0.5 million, respectively, for business interruption claims. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, normalized NOI included the non-recurring insurance proceeds of $0.5 million and $3.4 million, respectively, for business interruption claims related to the weather-related damage at several hotel properties in late December 2022. The most comparable IFRS measure to normalized NOI is NOI, for which a reconciliation is provided in this news release.

Hotel EBITDA: calculated by adjusting NOI for hotel management fees. The most comparable IFRS measure to hotel EBITDA is NOI, for which a reconciliation is provided in this news release.

EBITDA: calculated by adjusting NOI for hotel management fees and general administrative expenses. The sum of hotel management fees and general administrative expenses is equal to corporate and administrative expenses in the Financial Statements. The most comparable IFRS measure to EBITDA is NOI, for which a reconciliation is provided in this news release.

Debt: calculated as the sum of term loans and revolving credit facility, the face value of convertible debentures, unamortized portion of debt financing costs, lease liabilities and unamortized portion of mark-to-market adjustments. The most comparable IFRS measure to debt is total liabilities, for which a reconciliation is provided in this news release.

Gross book value: calculated as the sum of total assets, accumulated depreciation and impairment on property, buildings and equipment, and accumulated amortization on intangible assets. The most comparable IFRS measure to gross book value is total assets, for which a reconciliation is provided in this news release.

Interest expense: calculated by adjusting finance costs for gain/loss on debt settlement, amortization of debt financing costs, accretion of debenture liability, amortization of debenture costs, dividends on series B preferred shares and amortization of mark-to-market adjustments, accretion of management fee because interest expense excludes certain non-cash accounting items and dividends on preferred shares. The most comparable IFRS measure to interest expense is finance costs, for which a reconciliation is provided in this news release.

Enterprise value: is a supplementary financial measure and is calculated as the sum of (i) total debt obligations as reflected on the September 30, 2024 balance sheet, less the term loans of the five hotel properties in respect of which AHIP is in managed foreclosure as of September 30, 2024, (ii) AHIP’s market capitalization (which is calculated as the U.S. dollar closing price of the units on the TSX as of November 5, 2024, multiplied by the total number of units issued and outstanding), and (iii) face value of series C preferred shares, less (iv) the amount of cash and cash equivalents reflected on the September 30, 2024 balance sheet.

NON-IFRS RATIOS:

FFO per unit – basic/diluted: calculated as FFO – basic/diluted divided by weighted average number of units outstanding - basic/diluted respectively for the reporting periods.

Normalized FFO per unit – basic/diluted: calculated as normalized FFO – basic/diluted divided by weighted average number of units outstanding - basic/diluted respectively for the reporting periods.

AFFO per unit – basic/diluted: calculated as AFFO – basic/diluted divided by weighted average number of units outstanding - basic/diluted respectively for the reporting periods.

Hotel EBITDA margin: calculated as hotel EBITDA divided by total revenue.

EBITDA margin: calculated as EBITDA divided by total revenue.

Capitalization rate (“Cap Rate”): calculated as 2023 annual hotel EBITDA, after adjusting for an industry standard 4% furniture, fixtures, and equipment (“FF&E”) reserve, divided by the actual and expected gross proceeds of the asset dispositions.

Implied capitalization rate (“implied Cap Rate”): calculated as 2023 annual hotel EBITDA, after adjusting for an industry standard 4% FF&E reserve, for the portfolio of 58 hotel properties by excluding the five hotel properties in respect of which AHIP is in managed foreclosure as of September 30, 2024, divided by the enterprise value as at November 5, 2024.

CAPITAL MANAGEMENT MEASURES:

Debt to gross book value: calculated as debt divided by gross book value. Debt to gross book value is a primary measure of capital management and leverage.

Debt to TTM EBITDA: calculated as debt divided by the trailing twelve months (“TTM”) of EBITDA. Debt to EBITDA measures the amount of income generated and available to pay down debt before covering interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization expenses. In Q3 2024, the debt to TTM EBITDA calculation excluded five hotels in respect of which AHIP is in managed foreclosure as of September 30, 2024.

Interest coverage ratio: calculated as TTM EBITDA divided by interest expense for the trailing twelve months. The interest coverage ratio is a measure of AHIP’s ability to service the interest requirements of its outstanding debt. In Q3 2024, the interest coverage ratio calculation excluded five hotels in respect of which AHIP is in managed foreclosure as of September 30, 2024.

SUPPLEMENTARY FINANCIAL MEASURES:

Occupancy is a major driver of room revenue as well as food and beverage revenues. Fluctuations in occupancy are normally accompanied by fluctuations in most categories of variable hotel operating expenses, including housekeeping and other labor costs. Higher ADR increases room revenue with limited impact on hotel operating expenses. Increase in RevPAR attributable to increase in occupancy may reduce EBITDA and EBITDA margins, while increase in RevPAR attributable to increase in ADR typically result in increases in EBITDA and EBITDA margins.

Occupancy: calculated as the total number of hotel rooms sold divided by the total number of rooms available for the reporting periods. Occupancy is a metric commonly used in the hotel industry to measure the utilization of hotels’ available capacity.

Average daily rate (“ADR”): calculated as total room revenue divided by total number of rooms sold for the reporting periods. ADR is a metric commonly used in the hotel industry to indicate the average revenue earned per occupied room in a given time period.

Revenue per available room (“RevPAR”): calculated as occupancy multiplied by ADR for the reporting periods.

Same property occupancy, ADR, RevPAR, revenue, expense, NOI and NOI margin: measured for properties owned by AHIP for both the current reporting periods and the same periods in 2023. In Q3 2024, Q4 2023 and Q3 2023, the same property ADR, occupancy, RevPAR and NOI margin calculations excluded the five hotel properties in respect of which AHIP is in managed foreclosure as of September 30, 2024. In Q2 2024 and Q1 2024, the same property ADR, occupancy, RevPAR and NOI margin calculations excluded the same five hotel properties mentioned in the immediately preceding sentence, as well as the Residence Inn Neptune and Courtyard Wall in New Jersey as these two hotels had limited availability in Q2 2023 and Q1 2023 comparative periods, due to remediation and rebuilding after the weather-related damage in late December 2022.
