"First-quarter operating results significantly exceeded our expectations due to a snapback in leisure demand starting in mid-February combined with a rapid acceleration in the recovery of group and transient business travel. We are very encouraged that these positive trends have continued and strengthened into April. While our best-performing urban markets continue to be Miami, Boston, Los Angeles and San Diego, we are experiencing a strong recovery in demand in Washington DC, San Francisco, Chicago, Portland and Seattle, another positive sign of pent-up business demand. In addition to quickly improving demand trends, room rates during the first quarter surpassed 2019 levels by 19.4%, with our resorts up 59.4% and Los Angeles, Miami, Portland, Washington DC and Chicago ADRs all above 2019. Based on group lead volume, site tours and overall booking trends, rate premiums should continue in the second quarter and the balance of 2022. Combined with our recently completed property renovations and transformations, our outlook for the year is increasingly more optimistic.”

-Jon E. Bortz, Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer of Pebblebrook Hotel Trust

“Same-Property ADRs far exceeded those of 2019 each month in the first quarter, demonstrating our ability to capture additional rate premiums at our recently redeveloped and renovated hotels and resorts, combined with the benefits of improving demand and rates in our urban markets,” noted Mr. Bortz. “The demand pickup in our urban markets is being driven by increasing business transient, in-house groups, and a return of citywide conventions, indicating very positive momentum for the second quarter and beyond. While our resorts have continued to increase their already healthy occupancy and ADR levels thus far in 2022, our urban hotel demand fundamentals are strengthening each week. Recent urban occupancies were higher than those in the fall of 2021, and urban ADRs in March surpassed 2019. These improving trends are continuing in the second quarter.”

Capital Investments and Strategic Property Redevelopments

In the first quarter of 2022, the Company completed $19.9 million of capital investments throughout its portfolio, including the redevelopment and transformation of Grafton on Sunset into Hotel Ziggy, the eighth member of the Unofficial Z Collection, the Company’s proprietary brand of individually curated, unique urban lifestyle hotels. The transformation of Hotel Vitale into the sustainability-focused, mission-driven, and experiential luxury 1 Hotel San Francisco, which will offer nature-inspired designs and environmentally focused services and aesthetics throughout guestrooms and suites, public areas, and meeting and event venues, is now expected to be re-opened and completed later in the second quarter of 2022.

The Company expects to invest a total of $100.0 to $120.0 million during 2022, which includes redevelopment and repositioning projects at Solamar Hotel (to be converted to Margaritaville Hotel San Diego Gaslamp Quarter), Hilton Gaslamp Quarter, Jekyll Island Club Resort, Viceroy Santa Monica and Estancia La Jolla Hotel & Spa, and the development of a new outdoor venue and additional alternative lodging units at Skamania Lodge.

Update on Strategic Acquisitions

On April 21, 2022, the Company announced that it executed a contract to acquire the 119-room Inn on Fifth in Naples, Florida for $156.0 million. The acquisition is expected to be funded with approximately $78.0 million of cash, $77.6 million of 6.0% perpetual preferred operating partnership units, and $0.4 million of common operating partnership units. The purchase is subject to customary closing conditions, and the Company offers no assurances that this acquisition will be completed on these terms or at all.

Balance Sheet and Liquidity

As of March 31, 2022, the Company had $96.0 million of consolidated cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, in addition to $598.4 million of undrawn availability on its senior unsecured revolving credit facility, for total liquidity of $694.4 million. The Company had $2.5 billion in consolidated debt and convertible notes at an effective weighted-average interest rate of 3.2 percent. $2.0 billion, or 81 percent of the Company's total outstanding debt and convertible notes, was at a weighted-average fixed interest rate of 3.2 percent, and $0.5 billion, or 19 percent, was at a weighted-average floating interest rate of 2.8 percent. The Company had $1.4 billion of unsecured term loans, and there was no outstanding balance on its $611.0 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility. The Company has no material loans maturing until 2023.

Common and Preferred Dividends

On March 15, 2022, the Company declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.01 per share on its common shares as well as a regular quarterly cash dividend for the following preferred shares of beneficial interest:

$0.39844 per 6.375% Series E Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Share;
$0.39375 per 6.3% Series F Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Share;
$0.39844 per 6.375% Series G Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Share; and
$0.35625 per 5.7% Series H Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Share.

Update on Curator Hotel & Resort Collection

Curator Hotel & Resort Collection (“Curator”) is a distinct collection of experientially focused small brands and independent lifestyle hotels and resorts worldwide founded by Pebblebrook and several industry-leading independent lifestyle hotel operators. As of March 31, 2022, Curator had grown to 88 member hotels. In the first quarter of 2022, Curator announced strategic partnerships with numerous leading travel and technology companies, including Optii, Infor, Oracle and StayNTouch. As of March 31, 2022, Curator had 82 programs with preferred vendor partners, providing Curator member hotels with preferred pricing, enhanced operating terms and early access to curated new technologies.

Q2 2022 Outlook

Based on current trends, assuming no acquisitions or dispositions, and assuming no new disruptions to travel caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company’s outlook for Q2 2022 is as follows:
	Q2 2022 Outlook
	Low	High
	($ and shares/units in millions, except per share and RevPAR data)
Net income	$18.5	$28.5

Adjusted EBITDAre	$107.5	$117.5

Adjusted FFO	$73.5	$83.5
Adjusted FFO per diluted share	$0.56	$0.63

This Q2 2022 Outlook is based, in part, on the following estimates and assumptions:

Same-Property RevPAR	$209	$214
Same-Property RevPAR variance vs. 2019	(10.0%)	(8.0%)
Same-Property RevPAR variance vs. 2021	96.8%	101.2%

Same-Property EBITDA	$120.0	$130.0
Same-Property EBITDA variance vs. 2019	(18.5%)	(11.7%)

Based on its expectations for Q2 2022, the Company believes it will exit its debt covenant waiver period following the completion of the quarter ending June 30, 2022.

The Company continues to be unable to provide a full-year outlook for 2022 due to the uncertainties caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company intends to issue new full-year guidance when it has more clarity on the economy, travel demand, and more predictable overall operating fundamentals and trends.

This press release includes certain non-GAAP financial measures. These measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative to, measures prepared in accordance with GAAP and may be different from similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with the Company’s results of operations determined in accordance with GAAP.

Funds from Operations (“FFO”) - FFO represents net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains or losses from sales of properties, plus real estate-related depreciation and amortization and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships. The Company considers FFO a useful measure of performance for an equity REIT because it facilitates an understanding of the Company's operating performance without giving effect to real estate depreciation and amortization, which assume that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, the Company believes that FFO provides a meaningful indication of its performance. The Company also considers FFO an appropriate performance measure given its wide use by investors and analysts. The Company computes FFO in accordance with standards established by the Board of Governors of Nareit in its March 1995 White Paper (as amended in November 1999 and April 2002), which may differ from the methodology for calculating FFO utilized by other equity REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to that of other REITs. Further, FFO does not represent amounts available for management’s discretionary use because of needed capital replacement or expansion, debt service obligations or other commitments and uncertainties, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund the Company’s cash needs, including its ability to make distributions. The Company presents FFO per diluted share calculations that are based on the outstanding dilutive common shares plus the outstanding Operating Partnership units for the periods presented.

The Company also evaluates its performance by reviewing Adjusted FFO because it believes that adjusting FFO to exclude certain recurring and non-recurring items described below provides useful supplemental information regarding the Company's ongoing operating performance and that the presentation of Adjusted FFO, when combined with the primary GAAP presentation of net income (loss), more completely describes the Company's operating performance. The Company adjusts FFO available to common share and unit holders for the following items, which may occur in any period, and refers to this measure as Adjusted FFO:

- Transaction costs: The Company excludes transaction costs expensed during the period because it believes that including these costs in FFO does not reflect the underlying financial performance of the Company and its hotels.

- Non-cash ground rent: The Company excludes the non-cash ground rent expense, which is primarily made up of the straight-line rent impact from a ground lease.

- Management/franchise contract transition costs: The Company excludes one-time management and/or franchise contract transition costs expensed during the period because it believes that including these costs in FFO does not reflect the underlying financial performance of the Company and its hotels.

- Interest expense adjustment for acquired liabilities: The Company excludes interest expense adjustment for acquired liabilities assumed in connection with acquisitions, because it believes that including these non-cash adjustments in FFO does not reflect the underlying financial performance of the Company.

- Finance lease adjustment: The Company excludes the effect of non-cash interest expense from finance leases because it believes that including these non-cash adjustments in FFO does not reflect the underlying financial performance of the Company.

- Non-cash amortization of acquired intangibles: The Company excludes the non-cash amortization of acquired intangibles, which includes but is not limited to the amortization of favorable and unfavorable leases or management agreements and above/below market real estate tax reduction agreements because it believes that including these non-cash adjustments in FFO does not reflect the underlying financial performance of the Company.

- Non-cash interest expense, one-time operation suspension expenses, early extinguishment of debt, and amortization of share-based compensation expense: The Company excludes these items because the Company believes that including these adjustments in FFO does not reflect the underlying financial performance of the Company and its hotels.

The Company’s presentation of FFO in accordance with the Nareit White Paper, and as adjusted by the Company, should not be considered as an alternative to net income (computed in accordance with GAAP) as an indicator of the Company’s financial performance or to cash flow from operating activities (computed in accordance with GAAP) as an indicator of its liquidity.

Earnings before Interest, Taxes, and Depreciation and Amortization ("EBITDA") - The Company believes that EBITDA provides investors a useful financial measure to evaluate its operating performance, excluding the impact of our capital structure (primarily interest expense) and our asset base (primarily depreciation and amortization).

Earnings before Interest, Taxes, and Depreciation and Amortization for Real Estate ("EBITDAre") - The Company believes that EBITDAre provides investors a useful financial measure to evaluate its operating performance, and the Company presents EBITDAre in accordance with Nareit guidelines, as defined in its September 2017 white paper "Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization for Real Estate." EBITDAre adjusts EBITDA for the following items, which may occur in any period, and refers to these measures as Adjusted EBITDAre: (1) gains or losses on the disposition of depreciated property, including gains or losses on change of control; (2) impairment write-downs of depreciated property and of investments in unconsolidated affiliates caused by a decrease in value of depreciated property in the affiliate; and (3) adjustments to reflect the entity's share of EBITDAre of unconsolidated affiliates.

The Company also evaluates its performance by reviewing Adjusted EBITDAre because it believes that adjusting EBITDAre to exclude certain recurring and non-recurring items described below provides useful supplemental information regarding the Company's ongoing operating performance and that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDAre, when combined with the primary GAAP presentation of net income (loss), more completely describes the Company's operating performance. The Company adjusts EBITDAre for the following items, which may occur in any period, and refers to these measures as Adjusted EBITDAre:

- Transaction costs: The Company excludes transaction costs expensed during the period because it believes that including these costs in EBITDAre does not reflect the underlying financial performance of the Company and its hotels.

- Non-cash ground rent: The Company excludes the non-cash ground rent expense, which is primarily made up of the straight-line rent impact from a ground lease.

- Management/franchise contract transition costs: The Company excludes one-time management and/or franchise contract transition costs expensed during the period because it believes that including these costs in EBITDAre does not reflect the underlying financial performance of the Company and its hotels.

- Non-cash amortization of acquired intangibles: The Company excludes the non-cash amortization of acquired intangibles, which includes but is not limited to the amortization of favorable and unfavorable leases or management agreements and above/below market real estate tax reduction agreements because it believes that including these non-cash adjustments in EBITDAre does not reflect the underlying financial performance of the Company and its hotels.

- One-time operation suspension expenses and amortization of share-based compensation expense: The Company excludes these items because it believes that including these costs in EBITDAre does not reflect the underlying financial performance of the Company and its hotels.

The Company’s presentation of EBITDAre, and as adjusted by the Company, should not be considered as an alternative to net income (computed in accordance with GAAP) as an indicator of the Company’s financial performance or to cash flow from operating activities (computed in accordance with GAAP) as an indicator of its liquidity.

To supplement the Company’s consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, this press release includes certain non-GAAP financial measures as defined under SEC rules.

These measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative to, measures prepared in accordance with GAAP and may be different from similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with the Company’s results of operations determined in accordance with GAAP.

The Company also evaluates its performance by reviewing Adjusted FFO because it believes that adjusting FFO to exclude certain recurring and non-recurring items described below provides useful supplemental information regarding the Company's ongoing operating performance and that the presentation of Adjusted FFO, when combined with the primary GAAP presentation of net income (loss), more completely describes the Company's operating performance. The Company adjusts FFO for the following items, which may occur in any period, and refers to this measure as Adjusted FFO:

- Non-cash ground rent: The Company excludes the non-cash ground rent expense, which is primarily made up of the straight-line rent impact from a ground lease.

- Non-cash interest expense: The Company excludes non-cash interest expense because the Company believes that including this adjustment in FFO does not reflect the underlying financial performance of the Company and its hotels.

- Amortization of share-based compensation expense: The Company excludes the amortization of share-based compensation expense because the Company believes that including this adjustment in FFO does not reflect the underlying financial performance of the Company and its hotels.

- Other: The Company excludes other expenses, which include transaction costs, management/franchise contract transition costs, interest expense adjustment for acquired liabilities, capital lease adjustment and non-cash amortization of acquired intangibles because the Company believes that including these non-cash adjustments in FFO does not reflect the underlying financial performance of the Company and its hotels.

Any differences are a result of rounding.
