- Total portfolio achieved 29.3% occupancy and open hotels achieved 37.1% occupancy during the third quarter
- Reducing monthly cash burn estimate range by $2.5 million at the mid-point

“We are encouraged by our third quarter results, which exceeded our expectations as our portfolio benefited from the relative strength in leisure and an uptick in pockets of business transient and small group demand,” commented Leslie D. Hale, President and Chief Executive Officer. “We executed on all fronts to maintain our strong liquidity. This quarter, we reopened a significant number of hotels and continued our aggressive asset management efforts to minimize operating costs, which led to a further reduction in our burn rate. We believe that our solid execution has positioned us not only to continue to navigate the current environment and benefit early in the recovery, but also to outperform throughout the next lodging cycle.”
The prefix “Pro forma” as defined by the Company, denotes operating results which include results for periods prior to its ownership and excludes sold hotels. Pro forma RevPAR and Pro forma Hotel EBITDA Margin are reported on a comparable basis and therefore exclude any hotels sold during the period and non-comparable hotels that were not open for operation or were closed for renovation for comparable periods. Explanations of EBITDA, EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDA, Hotel EBITDA, Hotel EBITDA Margin, FFO, and Adjusted FFO, as well as reconciliations of those measures to net income or loss, if applicable, are included within this release.

Hotel Reopening and Cash Burn Update
During the third quarter, the Company remained focused on executing its business plan by reopening a significant number of hotels, and continuing its asset management initiatives to minimize operating costs while maximizing hotel profitability, which led to a further reduction in the Company’s burn rate. The Company’s portfolio achieved positive gross operating profit during the third quarter, with its open hotels generating positive Hotel EBITDA.
Update on Hotel Reopenings
The Company reopened 27 hotels during the third quarter and has subsequently reopened three hotels. Currently, 96 of the Company's 103 hotels are open, representing 93% of the overall portfolio. The Company will evaluate reopening the remaining hotels based on market conditions. All open hotels continue to operate under aggressive operating cost containment plans, including significantly reduced staffing, elimination of non-essential amenities and services, and modified food and beverage offerings.
Monthly Cash Burn Update
During the third quarter, the Company’s cash burn was lower than anticipated due to higher than expected revenues at our hotels; and the continuation of our successful cost containment initiatives.
Third quarter average hotel monthly operating shortfalls were approximately 30% below the Company’s prior estimates. The Company now estimates that average monthly cash burn will be approximately $23.0 million to $27.0 million (excluding capital investments), representing a $2.5 million reduction to the mid-point of the prior range. The current cash burn range is based on the following assumptions:
– Average hotel-level monthly operating shortfalls of approximately $3.0 million to $6.0 million;
– Average hotel-level fixed costs of $7.0 million, which includes property taxes and insurance;
– Corporate-level monthly general and administrative cash expenses of $2.0 million; and,
– Corporate-level outflows of $11.0 million to $12.0 million, which includes interest and scheduled principal payments on the Company’s outstanding debt as well as both common and preferred dividends.
The actual monthly cash burn will vary based on the level of lodging demand. Our monthly cash burn is expected to be at the low end of the range if lodging demand remains at October levels and the high end of the range if lodging demand contracts from October levels. Management continues to believe that its current liquidity has positioned the Company to withstand a protracted period of limited hotel demand.
Balance Sheet
As of September 30, 2020, the Company had approximately $1.0 billion of unrestricted cash on its balance sheet, $200.0 million undrawn under its Revolving Credit Facility, no debt maturities until 2022, and $2.6 billion of debt outstanding.
Dividends
The Company’s Board of Trustees declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.01 per common share of beneficial interest in the third quarter. The dividend was paid on October 15, 2020, to shareholders of record as of September 30, 2020.
The Company's Board of Trustees declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.4875 on the Company’s Series A Preferred Shares. The dividend was paid on October 30, 2020, to shareholders of record as of September 30, 2020.
2020 Outlook
Given the uncertainties related to the pandemic and its impact on travel, the Company is unable to provide a future outlook at this time.

Non-GAAP and Accounting Commentary
Non-Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“Non-GAAP”) Financial Measures
The Company considers the following non-GAAP financial measures useful to investors as key supplemental measures of its performance: (1) FFO, (2) Adjusted FFO, (3) EBITDA, (4) EBITDAre, (5) Adjusted EBITDA, (6) Hotel EBITDA, and (7) Hotel EBITDA Margin. These Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered along with, but not as alternatives to, net income or loss as a measure of its operating performance. FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA, EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDA, Hotel EBITDA, and Hotel EBITDA Margin as calculated by the Company, may not be comparable to other companies that do not define such terms exactly as the Company.
Funds From Operations (“FFO”)
The Company calculates Funds from Operations ("FFO") in accordance with standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT, which defines FFO as net income or loss (calculated in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains or losses from sales of real estate, impairment, the cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles, plus depreciation and amortization, and adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Historical cost accounting for real estate assets 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, most real estate industry investors consider FFO to be helpful in evaluating a real estate company’s operations. The Company believes that the presentation of FFO provides useful information to investors regarding the Company’s operating performance and can facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods and between real estate investment trusts (“REITs”), even though FFO does not represent an amount that accrues directly to common shareholders.
The Company’s calculation of FFO may not be comparable to measures calculated by other companies who do not use the NAREIT definition of FFO or do not calculate FFO per diluted share in accordance with NAREIT guidance. Additionally, FFO may not be helpful when comparing the Company to non-REITs. The Company presents FFO attributable to common shareholders, which includes unitholders of limited partnership interest (“OP units”) in RLJ Lodging Trust, L.P., the Company’s operating partnership, because the OP units are redeemable for common shares of the Company. The Company believes it is meaningful for the investor to understand FFO attributable to all common shares and OP units.
EBITDA and EBITDAre
Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization ("EBITDA") is defined as net income or loss excluding: (1) interest expense; (2) provision for income taxes, including income taxes applicable to sales of assets; and (3) depreciation and amortization. The Company considers EBITDA useful to investors in evaluating and facilitating comparisons of its operating performance between periods and between REITs by removing the impact of its capital structure (primarily interest expense) and asset base (primarily depreciation and amortization) from its operating results. In addition, EBITDA is used as one measure in determining the value of hotel acquisitions and dispositions.
In addition to EBITDA, the Company presents EBITDAre in accordance with NAREIT guidelines, which defines EBITDAre as net income or loss (calculated in accordance with GAAP) excluding interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization expense, gains or losses from sales of real estate, impairment, and adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. The Company believes that the presentation of EBITDAre provides useful information to investors regarding the Company's operating performance and can facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods and between REITs.
Adjustments to FFO, EBITDA and EBITDAre
The Company adjusts FFO, EBITDA, and EBITDAre for certain items that the Company considers either outside the normal course of operations or extraordinary. The Company believes that Adjusted FFO, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDAre provide useful supplemental information to investors regarding its ongoing operating performance that, when considered with net income or loss, FFO, EBITDA, and EBITDAre, is beneficial to an investor’s understanding of its operating performance. The Company adjusts FFO, EBITDA, and EBITDAre for the following items:
- Transaction Costs: the Company excludes transaction costs expensed during the period
- Non-Cash Expenses: the Company excludes the effect of certain non-cash items such as the amortization of share-based compensation, non-cash income taxes, and unrealized gains and loss related to interest rate hedges
- Other Non-Operational Expenses: the Company excludes the effect of certain non-operational expenses representing income and expenses outside the normal course of operations
Hotel EBITDA and Hotel EBITDA Margin
With respect to Consolidated Hotel EBITDA, the Company believes that excluding the effect of corporate-level expenses and certain non-cash items provides a more complete understanding of the operating results over which individual hotels and operators have direct control. The Company believes property-level results provide investors with supplemental information about the ongoing operational performance of the Company’s hotels and the effectiveness of third-party management companies.
Pro forma Consolidated Hotel EBITDA includes prior ownership information provided by the sellers of the hotels for periods prior to our acquisition of the hotels, which has not been audited and excludes results from sold hotels as applicable. Pro forma Hotel EBITDA and Pro forma Hotel EBITDA Margin exclude the results of non-comparable hotels that were under renovation or not open for the entirety of the comparable periods. The following is a summary of pro forma hotel adjustments:
