VANCOUVER, British Columbia, May 07, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- American Hotel Income Properties REIT LP (“AHIP”, or the “Company”) (TSX: HOT.UN, TSX: HOT.U, TSX: HOT.DB. V), today announced its financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2024.

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

2024 FIRST QUARTER HIGHLIGHTS

  • Diluted FFO per unit (1) and normalized diluted FFO per unit (1) were $0.03 and $0.02, respectively, for the first quarter of 2024, compared to $0.11 and $0.07 for the same period of 2023.

  • Occupancy (1) was 66.4% for the first quarter of 2024, an increase of 230 basis points (“bps”) compared to 64.1% for the same period of 2023.

  • ADR (1) decreased 0.8% to $131 for the first quarter of 2024, compared to $132 for the same period of 2023.

  • Revenue increased 1.6% to $66.5 million for the first quarter of 2024, compared to $65.5 million for the same period in 2023.

  • NOI and normalized NOI (1) were $17.2 million and $17.3 million, respectively, for the first quarter of 2024, decreases of 8.0% and 12.2%, respectively, compared to $18.7 million and $19.7 million for the same period in 2023.

  • AHIP had $25.5 million in available liquidity as at March 31, 2024, compared to $27.8 million as at December 31, 2023. The available liquidity of $25.5 million was comprised of an unrestricted cash balance of $15.5 million and borrowing availability of $10.0 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 RevPAR and occupancy increased by 2.4% and 230 bps respectively compared to Q1 2023. Excluding hotels with disrupted operations in the first quarter of 2023, RevPAR decreased by 1.6% compared to the same period in the prior year. Preliminary results for April show an improvement with an increase in RevPAR of approximately 5% excluding hotels with disrupted operations in 2023. Costs related to macroeconomic conditions remain elevated, with higher insurance premiums and elevated labor and operating costs resulting in pressures to hotel operating margins.”

Mr. Korol added: “AHIP’s Board and management team are taking a number of actions across the business in recent quarters to preserve cash, enhance financial stability and protect long term value for our unitholders. As previously disclosed, these actions include the recently completed, amendment and extension of our revolving credit facility, reduction and deferral of hotel management fees, and temporary suspension of the distribution. In 2024, we are currently executing a plan to address 2024 debt obligations with asset sales and loan refinancings. These steps are expected to 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.”
