"We are pleased to have finished a challenging 2024 with positive momentum in the fourth quarter, both from a portfolio performance perspective and through the completion of the significant capital improvement projects that weighed on our portfolio results during the year," said Marcel Verbaas, Chair and Chief Executive Officer of Xenia. "Same-Property RevPAR came in 5.1% higher than the prior year in the fourth quarter, as performance at the newly upbranded Grand Hyatt Scottsdale Resort became a tailwind for our overall portfolio RevPAR gains, while Adjusted FFO exceeded the midpoint of the guidance range we provided last quarter. We are encouraged by double-digit RevPAR growth in a variety of our markets in the fourth quarter, including Phoenix, Nashville, Santa Barbara, Pittsburgh, Birmingham, Salt Lake City, New Orleans and Charleston, indicating strength in diverse markets from a demand segmentation perspective. For the full year, our portfolio, excluding Grand Hyatt Scottsdale, achieved a RevPAR increase of 3.4% which was driven by solid occupancy gains throughout the year, mainly as a result of strength in the group and business transient segments. In addition to significant RevPAR growth at our recently renovated properties in Salt Lake City, Santa Barbara and Orlando, our hotels in Houston, Dallas, Santa Clara, Pittsburgh and Washington, DC, were relative outperformers during the year."

"We are thrilled to have substantially completed the transformative renovation and upbranding of Grand Hyatt Scottsdale, with just some minor components remaining to be finished in 2025. The opening of the expanded Arizona Ballroom in early January was another significant milestone and the reception to this phenomenal facility has been extremely positive," continued Mr. Verbaas. "With the resort now fully operational and ramping up, we are entering the next phase during which we expect this strategic investment to deliver meaningful returns. The heavy lifting is behind us, and we are confident that this property will drive strong cash flow through stabilization and into the future."

"We are proud of all the hard work that was done in the last year, not only across our portfolio of hotels and resorts, but also on our financing and capital markets activities. We addressed all near term debt maturities and have further strengthened our balance sheet, positioning us to capitalize on strategic opportunities in the years ahead," said Mr. Verbaas. "As we begin 2025, we are optimistic about our growth prospects, despite continued uncertainty in the overall economic climate. We estimate that Same-Property RevPAR for the first quarter through February 20th grew 7.3% versus the comparable period in 2024. These early results give us confidence that, with both the benefit of Grand Hyatt Scottsdale and strong group revenue pace across our high quality portfolio, Xenia is positioned for meaningful RevPAR growth in 2025."

Operating Results

The Company's results include the following:

 

Liquidity and Balance Sheet

As of December 31, 2024, the Company had total outstanding debt of approximately $1.3 billion with a weighted-average interest rate of 5.54%. The Company had approximately $78 million of cash and cash equivalents, including hotel working capital, an unfunded $100 million delayed draw term loan commitment, and $490 million of availability on its revolving line of credit, resulting in total liquidity of approximately $668 million as of December 31, 2024. In addition, the Company held approximately $65 million of restricted cash and escrows at the end of the fourth quarter.

Corporate Credit Facility

In November, the Company upsized and extended its corporate credit facility. The amended credit facility is comprised of a $500 million revolving line of credit and a $325 million term loan (of which, $225 million was outstanding as of December 31, 2024). The sizing of the revolving line of credit and term loan represent a $50 million and a $100 million increase to prior levels, respectively. The amended credit facility matures in November 2028 and can be extended to November 2029. Subsequent to quarter end, the Company elected to draw the remaining $100 million term loan commitment with a portion of the proceeds directed to repay the then outstanding balance on the revolving line of credit and the remainder held on the Company's balance sheet. As a result, the full $325 million term loan is outstanding and the $500 million revolving line of credit is fully undrawn. 

Capital Markets

In November, the Company issued $400 million of 6.625% Senior Notes maturing in May 2030. Together with cash on hand, proceeds from the new issuance were used to repay the then outstanding 6.375% Senior Notes due August 2025 enabling the Company to address substantially all of its near-term debt maturities.

In the quarter, the Company repurchased 515,876 shares of common stock at a weighted-average price of $14.83 per share for a total consideration of approximately $7.6 million. For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company repurchased 1,130,846 shares of common stock at a weighted-average price of $14.02 per share for a total consideration of approximately $15.8 million. The Company currently has $117.9 million in capacity remaining under its repurchase authorization. The Company did not issue any shares of its common stock through its At-The-Market ("ATM") program in the quarter and had $200 million of remaining availability as of  December 31, 2024.

First Quarter 2024 Dividend

The Company's Board of Directors has increased the quarterly cash dividend by approximately 17% to $0.14 per share of the Company's common stock for the first quarter of 2025.

All of these outlets were designed and concepted in collaboration with celebrity chef Richard Blais and were substantially complete in early November while openings were phased in coordination with business levels.
• Building façade, infrastructure, and grounds – Redesign of several elements of the building façade, replacement of all exterior lighting, redesign of existing solar panels, and new exterior signage, all of which were completed by the end of 2024, with the exception of certain exterior projects, including a parking lot renovation which will be completed during 2025.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company considers the following non-GAAP financial measures to be useful to investors as key supplemental measures of its operating performance: EBITDA, EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDAre, Same-Property Hotel EBITDA, Same-Property Hotel EBITDA Margin, FFO, Adjusted FFO, and Adjusted FFO per diluted share. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered along with, but not as alternatives to, net income or loss, operating profit, cash from operations, or any other operating performance measure as prescribed per GAAP.

EBITDA, EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre

EBITDA is a commonly used measure of performance in many industries and is defined as net income or loss (calculated in accordance with GAAP) excluding interest expense, provision for income taxes (including income taxes applicable to sale of assets) and 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, even though EBITDA does not represent an amount that accrues directly to common stockholders. In addition, EBITDA is used as one measure in determining the value of hotel acquisitions and dispositions and, along with FFO and Adjusted FFO, is used by management in the annual budget process for compensation programs.

The Company calculates EBITDAre in accordance with standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("Nareit"). Nareit defines EBITDAre as EBITDA plus or minus losses and gains on the disposition of depreciated property, including gains or losses on change of control, plus impairments of depreciated property and of investments in unconsolidated affiliates caused by a decrease in the value of depreciated property in the affiliate, and adjustments to reflect the entity's share of EBITDAre of unconsolidated affiliates.

The Company further adjusts EBITDAre to exclude the impact of non-controlling interests in consolidated entities other than its Operating Partnership Units because its Operating Partnership Units may be redeemed for common stock. The Company also adjusts EBITDAre for certain additional items such as depreciation and amortization related to corporate assets, terminated transaction and pre-opening expenses, amortization of share-based compensation, non-cash ground rent and straight-line rent expense, the cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles, and other costs it believes do not represent recurring operations and are not indicative of the performance of its underlying hotel property entities. The Company believes it is meaningful for investors to understand Adjusted EBITDAre attributable to all common stock and unit holders. The Company believes Adjusted EBITDAre attributable to common stock and unit holders provides investors with another useful financial measure in evaluating and facilitating comparison of operating performance between periods and between REITs that report similar measures.

Same-Property Hotel EBITDA and Same-Property Hotel EBITDA Margin

Same-Property hotel data includes the actual operating results for all hotels owned as of the end of the reporting period. The Company then adjusts the Same-Property hotel data for comparability purposes by including pre-acquisition operating results of asset(s) acquired during the period, which provides investors a basis for understanding the acquisition(s) historical operating trends and seasonality. The pre-acquisition operating results for the comparable period are obtained from the seller and/or manager of the hotel(s) during the acquisition due diligence process and have not been audited or reviewed by our independent auditors. The Company further adjusts the Same-Property hotel data to remove dispositions during the respective reporting periods, and, in certain cases, hotels that are not fully open due to significant renovation, re-positioning, or disruption or whose room counts have materially changed during either the current or prior year as these historical operating results are not indicative of or expected to be comparable to the operating performance of the hotel portfolio on a prospective basis.

Same-Property Hotel EBITDA represents net income or loss excluding: (1) interest expense, (2) income taxes, (3) depreciation and amortization, (4) corporate-level costs and expenses, (5) terminated transaction and pre-opening expenses, and (6) certain state and local excise taxes resulting from ownership structure. The Company believes that Same-Property Hotel EBITDA provides investors a useful financial measure to evaluate hotel operating performance excluding the impact of capital structure (primarily interest expense), asset base (primarily depreciation and amortization), income taxes, and corporate-level expenses (corporate expenses and terminated transaction costs). The Company believes property-level results provide investors with supplemental information on the ongoing operational performance of its hotels and the effectiveness of third-party management companies that operate our business on a property-level basis. Same-Property Hotel EBITDA Margin is calculated by dividing Same-Property Hotel EBITDA by Same-Property Total Revenues.

As a result of these adjustments the Same-Property hotel data presented does not represent the Company's total revenues, expenses, operating profit or net income and should not be used to evaluate performance as a whole. Management compensates for these limitations by separately considering the impact of these excluded items to the extent they are material to operating decisions or assessments of operating performance. Our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income include such amounts, all of which should be considered by investors when evaluating our performance.

We include Same-Property hotel data as supplemental information for investors. Management believes that providing Same-Property hotel data is useful to investors because it represents comparable operations for our portfolio as it exists at the end of the respective reporting periods presented, which allows investors and management to evaluate the period-to-period performance of our hotels and facilitates comparisons with other hotel REITs and hotel owners. In particular, these measures assist management and investors in distinguishing whether increases or decreases in revenues and/or expenses are due to growth or decline of operations at Same-Property hotels or from other factors, such as the effect of acquisitions or dispositions.

FFO and Adjusted FFO

The Company calculates FFO in accordance with standards established by Nareit, as amended in the 2018 Restatement White Paper, which defines FFO as net income or loss (calculated in accordance with GAAP), excluding real estate-related depreciation, amortization and impairments, gains or losses from sales of real estate, the cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles, similar adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and consolidated variable interest entities, and items classified by GAAP as extraordinary. 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 industry investors consider presentations of operating results for real estate companies that use historical cost accounting to be insufficient by themselves. The Company believes that the presentation of FFO provides useful supplemental information to investors regarding operating performance by excluding the effect of real estate depreciation and amortization, gains or losses from sales for real estate, impairments of real estate assets, extraordinary items and the portion of these items related to unconsolidated entities, all of which are based on historical cost accounting and which may be of lesser significance in evaluating current performance. The Company believes that the presentation of FFO can facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods and between REITs, even though FFO does not represent an amount that accrues directly to common stockholders. The 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 Xenia to non-REITs. The Company presents FFO attributable to common stock and unit holders, which includes its Operating Partnership Units because its Operating Partnership Units may be redeemed for common stock. The Company believes it is meaningful for investors to understand FFO attributable to common stock and unit holders.

The Company further adjusts FFO for certain additional items that are not in Nareit's definition of FFO such as terminated transaction and pre-opening expenses, amortization of debt origination costs and share-based compensation, non-cash ground rent and straight-line rent expense, and other items we believe do not represent recurring operations. The Company believes that Adjusted FFO provides investors with useful supplemental information that may facilitate comparisons of ongoing operating performance between periods and between REITs that make similar adjustments to FFO and is beneficial to investors' complete understanding of our operating performance.

Adjusted FFO per diluted share

The diluted weighted-average common share count used for the calculation of Adjusted FFO per diluted share differs from diluted weighted-average common share count used to derive net income or loss per share available to common stockholders. The Company calculates Adjusted FFO per diluted share by dividing the Adjusted FFO by the diluted weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding plus the weighted-average vested Operating Partnership Units. Any anti-dilutive securities are excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation.
