    HIGHLIGHTS

    • RevPAR.  Room revenue per available room (“RevPAR”) for the Company’s composite portfolio, which includes the rooms participating in our rental programs at the Hyde Resort & Residences and the Hyde Beach House Resort & Residences, increased  to $119.06, for the three months ended March 31, 2023, from $100.89 in the comparable period in 2022 and was 2.3% below RevPAR of $121.86 for the comparable period in 2019.  Changes in RevPAR were driven by an increase in the average daily rate (“ADR”) to $197.07 for the three months ended March 31, 2023, from $187.23 for the comparable period in 2022 and by an increase in occupancy to 60.4% from 53.9% in the comparable 2022 period.  However, while ADR for the three months ended March 31, 2023, was 13.1% higher than ADR for the comparable period in 2019, occupancy for the three months ended March 31, 2023, was still 9.5% below the 69.9% occupancy achieved during the comparable 2019 period.
    • Revenue.  Total revenue increased to approximately $43.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 from approximately $38.4 million during the comparable period in 2022.  Total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was 8.2% below total revenue of approximately $47.4 million during the comparable 2019 period. 
    • Net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders. For the three-month period ending March 31, 2023, net income attributable to common stockholders increased 76.8%, or approximately $1.9 million, over the three months ended March 31, 2022, from a loss of approximately $2.5 million to a loss of approximately $0.6 million. 
    • Hotel EBITDA.  The Company increased production of hotel EBITDA to approximately $12.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, from approximately $10.0 million during the comparable period in 2022.  Hotel EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2023, was approximately $1.1 million below the hotel EBITDA generated in the comparable 2019 period. 
    • Adjusted FFO attributable to common stockholders and unitholders. For the three-month period ending March 31, 2023, adjusted FFO attributable to common stockholders and unitholders increased 273.9%, or approximately $3.5 million, over the three months ended March 31, 2022, from approximately $1.2 million to approximately $4.7 million. 
    • Preferred Dividends.  On April 24, 2023 the Company announced a quarterly cash dividend of $0.50 per share of beneficial interest of the Company’s 8.0% Series B Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Stock; a quarterly cash dividend of $0.4921875 per share of beneficial interest of the Company’s 7.875% Series C Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Stock; and a quarterly cash dividend of $0.515625 per share of beneficial interest of the Company’s 8.25% Series D Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Stock.  Each of the Series B, Series C and Series D preferred dividends will be paid on June 15, 2023 to shareholders of record as of May 31, 2023.

    Dave Folsom, President and Chief Executive Officer of Sotherly Hotels Inc., commented, "The lodging markets continued to show good improvement in the first quarter, and Sotherly’s hotels performed well.  Our urban properties showed strong growth in year over year revenue growth, characterized by the long awaited return of both group and business travel.  For example, at our Hyatt Centric in Arlington, Virginia, overall RevPAR was up 96.5% from Q1 2022, driven mainly by corporate group and business transient travel.  Rate continues to be the driving force for the overall revenue picture.  Across our portfolio ADR for the first quarter was $197.07, a 5.3% increase over prior year.  Leisure transient remained strong in the quarter, although we did see moderation in leisure travel in our Florida properties toward the latter half of March.  Overall, group booking pace remains strong, with our overall booking pace as of May 1, 2023 ahead of booking pace as of May 1, 2022 by 34.5%. Group rates are up approximately $20.00 over last year.  Further, we commenced payment of dividends on our preferred stock in Q1, with a payment made in March.  This was an important milestone for Sotherly, while concurrently, we have been able to execute favorable mortgage refinancings.  We were pleased with the quarter, as we met or exceeded forecasted guidance in both FFO and AFFO."

    Balance Sheet/Liquidity

    As of March 31, 2023, the Company had approximately $32.0 million of available cash and cash equivalents, of which approximately $8.6 million was reserved for real estate taxes, insurance, capital improvements and certain other expenses or otherwise restricted.

    Forward-Looking Statements

    This news release includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and as such may involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.  Forward-looking statements, which are based on certain assumptions and describe our current strategies, expectations, and future plans are generally identified by our use of words, such as “intend,” “plan,” “may,” “should,” “will,” “project,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “expect,” “continue,” “potential,” “opportunity,” and similar expressions, whether in the negative or affirmative, but the absence of these words does not necessarily mean that a statement is not forward-looking.  We also sometimes refer to our booking pace.  Booking pace is an industry term that we define as the estimated value of committed future bookings at a given point in time.  Booking pace can be further separated into various segments, including group booking pace or business travel booking pace.  All statements regarding our expected financial position, booking pace, business and financing plans are forward-looking statements.

    Factors which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s future operations, results, performance and prospects, include, but are not limited to: national and local economic and business conditions that affect occupancy rates and revenues at our hotels and the demand for hotel products and services; risks associated with the hotel industry, including competition and new supply of hotel rooms, increases in wages, energy costs and other operating costs; risks associated with the level of our indebtedness and our ability to meet covenants in our debt agreements, including our recently negotiated forbearance agreements and loan modifications and, as necessary, to refinance or seek an extension of the maturity of such indebtedness or further modification of such debt agreements; risks associated with adverse weather conditions, including hurricanes; impacts on the travel industry from pandemic diseases, including COVID-19; the availability and terms of financing and capital and the general volatility of the securities markets; management and performance of our hotels; risks associated with maintaining our system of internal controls; risks associated with the conflicts of interest of the Company’s officers and directors; risks associated with redevelopment and repositioning projects, including delays and cost overruns; supply and demand for hotel rooms in our current and proposed market areas; risks associated with our ability to maintain our franchise agreements with our third party franchisors; our ability to acquire additional properties and the risk that potential acquisitions may not perform in accordance with expectations; our ability to successfully expand into new markets; legislative/regulatory changes, including changes to laws governing taxation of real estate investment trusts (“REITs”); the Company’s ability to maintain its qualification as a REIT; and our ability to maintain adequate insurance coverage.  Although the Company believes that the assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements contained herein are reasonable, any of the assumptions could be inaccurate, and therefore there can be no assurance that such statements included in this report will prove to be accurate.  In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking statements included herein, the inclusion of such information should not be regarded as a representation by the Company or any other person that the results or conditions described in such statements or the objectives and plans of the Company will be achieved.

    Additional factors that could cause actual results to vary from our forward-looking statements are set forth under the section titled “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, in this report and subsequent reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  The Company undertakes no obligation to and does not intend to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.  Although the Company believes its current expectations to be based upon reasonable assumptions, it can give no assurance that its expectations will be attained or that actual results will not differ materially.

    Non-GAAP Financial Measures

    The Company considers the non-GAAP financial measures of FFO (including FFO per share), Adjusted FFO (including Adjusted FFO per share), EBITDA and hotel EBITDA to be key supplemental measures of the Company’s performance and could be considered along with, not alternatives to, net income (loss) as a measure of the Company’s performance. These measures do not represent cash generated from operating activities determined by generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) or amounts available for the Company’s discretionary use and should not be considered alternative measures of net income, cash flows from operations or any other operating performance measure prescribed by GAAP. 

    FFO

    Industry analysts and investors use FFO as a supplemental operating performance measure of an equity REIT. FFO is calculated in accordance with the definition adopted by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”).  FFO, as defined by NAREIT, represents net income or loss determined in accordance with GAAP, excluding extraordinary items as defined under GAAP and gains or losses from sales of previously depreciated operating real estate assets, gains or losses from involuntary conversions of assets, plus certain non-cash items such as real estate asset depreciation and amortization or impairment, stock compensation costs and after adjustment for any noncontrolling interest from unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.  Historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with GAAP 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, many investors and analysts have considered the presentation of operating results for real estate companies that use historical cost accounting to be insufficient by itself.

    The Company considers FFO to be a useful measure of adjusted net income (loss) for reviewing comparative operating and financial performance because we believe FFO is most directly comparable to net income (loss), which remains the primary measure of performance, because by excluding gains or losses related to sales of previously depreciated operating real estate assets and excluding real estate asset depreciation and amortization, FFO assists in comparing the operating performance of a company’s real estate between periods or as compared to different companies.  Although FFO is intended to be a REIT industry standard, other companies may not calculate FFO in the same manner as we do, and investors should not assume that FFO as reported by us is comparable to FFO as reported by other REITs.

    Adjusted FFO

    The Company presents adjusted FFO, including adjusted FFO per share and unit, which adjusts for certain additional items that are not in NAREIT’s definition of FFO including changes in deferred income taxes, any unrealized gain (loss) on hedging instruments or warrant derivatives, loan impairment losses, losses on early extinguishment of debt, gains on extinguishment of preferred stock, aborted offering costs, loan modification fees, franchise termination costs, costs associated with the departure of executive officers, litigation settlement, over-assessed real estate taxes on appeal, management contract termination costs, operating asset depreciation and amortization, change in control gains or losses, ESOP and stock compensation expenses and acquisition transaction costs.  We exclude these items as we believe it allows for meaningful comparisons between periods and among other REITs and is more indicative than FFO of the on-going performance of our business and assets.  Our calculation of adjusted FFO may be different from similar measures calculated by other REITs.

    EBITDA

    The Company believes that excluding the effect of non-operating expenses and non-cash charges, and the portion of those items related to unconsolidated entities, all of which are also based on historical cost accounting and may be of limited significance in evaluating current performance, can help eliminate the accounting effects of depreciation and financing decisions and facilitate comparisons of core operating profitability between periods and between REITs, even though EBITDA also does not represent an amount that accrued directly to shareholders.

    Hotel EBITDA

    The Company defines hotel EBITDA as net income or loss excluding: (1) interest expense, (2) interest income, (3) income tax provision or benefit, (4) depreciation and amortization, (5) impairment of long-lived assets or investments, (6) gains and losses on disposal and/or sale of assets, (7) gains and losses on involuntary conversions of assets, (8) unrealized gains and losses on derivative instruments not included in other comprehensive income, (9) loss on early debt extinguishment, (10) Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) debt forgiveness, (11) gain on exercise of development right, (12) corporate general and administrative expense, and (13) other operating revenue not related to our wholly-owned portfolio.  We believe this provides a more complete understanding of the operating results over which our wholly-owned hotels and its operators have direct control.  We believe hotel EBITDA provides investors with supplemental information on the on-going operational performance of our hotels and the effectiveness of third-party management companies operating our business on a property-level basis. The Company’s calculation of hotel EBITDA may be different from similar measures calculated by other REITs.
