All amounts presented in this news release are in United States dollars (“U.S. dollars”) unless otherwise indicated.

2024 SECOND QUARTER HIGHLIGHTS

  • Diluted FFO per unit (1) and normalized diluted FFO per unit (1) were $0.12 and $0.10, respectively, for the second quarter of 2024, compared to $0.19 and $0.14 for the same period of 2023.

  • RevPAR (1) increased 5.1% to $103 for the second quarter of 2024, compared to $98 for the same period of 2023.

  • ADR (1) increased 3.0% to $137 for the second quarter of 2024, compared to $133 for the same period of 2023.

  • Occupancy (1) was 75.4% for the second quarter of 2024, an increase of 160 basis points (“bps”) compared to 73.8% for the same period of 2023.

  • NOI and normalized NOI (1) were $24.2 million for the second quarter of 2024, decreases of 4.3% and 11.0%, respectively, compared to $25.3 million and $27.2 million for the same period in 2023.

  • AHIP had $26.7 million in available liquidity as at June 30, 2024, compared to $27.8 million as at December 31, 2023. The available liquidity of $26.7 million was comprised of an unrestricted cash balance of $16.0 million and borrowing availability of $10.7 million under the revolving credit facility.

“AHIP’s portfolio of premium branded select service hotel properties continued to demonstrate strong demand metrics in 2024.” said Jonathan Korol, CEO. “Portfolio ADR, occupancy and RevPAR all achieved meaningful growth in the current quarter. RevPAR increased 5.1% to $103, the highest level in the history of the Company. While cost inflation is decelerating across many cost categories, costs remain elevated resulting in pressures to hotel operating margins.”

Mr. Korol added: “AHIP’s Board and management team continue to advance our plan to preserve cash, enhance financial stability and protect long term value for our unitholders. In late 2023, we completed an amendment and extension of our revolving credit facility, reduction and deferral of hotel management fees, and temporary suspension of our monthly distribution. We are currently executing a plan to address 2024 debt obligations with asset sales and loan refinancings. In the first quarter, AHIP completed two asset sales and refinanced mortgage debt for three hotels. We currently have 6 additional hotels under contract for sale. These steps will strengthen our liquidity and balance sheet to ensure we are positioned to benefit when the industry operating and macroeconomic environment improves. We will continue to monitor conditions and operating performance, while considering further strategic opportunities to deliver value over the long term.”
