CAPITAL STRUCTURE At December 31, 2017, the Company had total assets of $4.7 billion. As of December 31, 2017, the Company had $3.7 billion of mortgage debt. The Company's total combined debt had a blended average interest rate of 5.7%. After taking into account the recently announced refinancing, the Company's total combined debt had a blended average interest rate of 5.5%.

On November 8, 2017, the Company announced that it had priced an underwritten public offering of 5,400,000 shares of 7.50% Series I Cumulative Preferred Stock at $25.00 per share. Dividends on the Preferred Stock will accrue at a rate of 7.5% per annum on the liquidation preference of $25.00 per share.

On October 4, 2017, the Company redeemed 379,036 shares of its 8.45% Series D Cumulative Preferred Stock and on December 8, 2017, the Company redeemed an additional 5,135,924 shares of its 8.45% Series D Cumulative Preferred Stock.

During 2017, the Company redeemed a total of 7,079,313 shares of its 8.45% Series D Cumulative Preferred Stock. Following the redemption of all of the Company's Series A Preferred Stock and a partial redemption of the Company's Series D Preferred stock, the annual preferred dividend savings are expected to be approximately $1.2 million.

On October 30, 2017, the Company announced it had refinanced a mortgage loan, secured by the Hilton Boston Back Bay, with an existing outstanding balance totaling approximately $95 million. The new loan totals $97 million and has a 5-year term. The loan is interest only and provides for a floating interest rate of LIBOR + 2.00%. This refinancing is expected to result in annual interest expense and principal payments savings of approximately $2.8 million.

On October 31, 2017, the Company announced it had refinanced a mortgage loan, secured by seventeen hotels, with an existing outstanding balance totaling approximately $413 million. The new loan totals $427 million with a two-year initial term and five one-year extension options subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. The loan is interest only, provides for a floating interest rate of LIBOR + 3.00%, and contains flexible release provisions for the potential sale of assets. This refinancing is expected to result in annual interest expense savings of approximately $9.8 million.

Subsequent to quarter end, on January 17, 2018, the Company announced that it had refinanced a mortgage loan, secured by eight hotels, with an existing outstanding balance of approximately $377 million. The new loan totals $395 million and has a two-year initial term and five one-year extension options, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. The loan is interest only and provides for a floating interest rate of LIBOR + 2.92%. This refinancing is expected to result in annual interest savings of approximately $6.8 million. The next hard maturity for the Company is in February 2019.

PORTFOLIO REVPAR As of December 31, 2017, the portfolio consisted of 120 properties. During the fourth quarter of 2017, 99 of the Company's hotels were not under renovation. The Company believes reporting its operating metrics for its hotels on a comparable total basis (all 120 hotels) and comparable not under renovation basis (99 hotels) is a measure that reflects a meaningful and focused comparison of the operating results in its portfolio. Details of each category are provided in the tables attached to this release.

  • Comparable RevPAR increased 3.9% to $115.04 for all hotels on a 2.3% increase in ADR and a 1.6% increase in occupancy
  • Comparable RevPAR increased 5.8% to $115.10 for hotels not under renovation on a 2.1% increase in ADR and a 3.6% increase in occupancy

HOTEL EBITDA MARGINS AND QUARTERLY SEASONALITY TRENDSThe Company believes year-over-year Comparable Hotel EBITDA and Comparable Hotel EBITDA Margin comparisons are more meaningful to gauge the performance of the Company's hotels than sequential quarter-over-quarter comparisons. Given the substantial seasonality in the Company's portfolio and its active capital recycling, to help investors better understand this seasonality, the Company provides quarterly detail on its Comparable Hotel EBITDA and Comparable Hotel EBITDA Margin for the current and certain prior-year periods based upon the number of hotels in the Company's portfolio as of the end of the current period. As the Company's portfolio mix changes from time to time so will the seasonality for Comparable Hotel EBITDA and Comparable Hotel EBITDA Margin. The details of the quarterly calculations for the previous four quarters for the 120 hotels are provided in the table attached to this release.

COMMON STOCK DIVIDEND On December 11, 2017, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.12 per diluted share for the Company's common stock for the fourth quarter ending December 31, 2017, payable on January 16, 2018, to shareholders of record as of December 29, 2017.

The Board also approved the Company's dividend policy for 2018. The Company expects to pay a quarterly cash dividend of $0.12 per share for 2018, or $0.48 per share on an annualized basis. The Board will continue to review its dividend policy on a quarter-to-quarter basis. The adoption of a dividend policy does not commit the Board of Directors to declare future dividends or the amount thereof.

"During the fourth quarter, we continued to see the operational and value-added benefits from our high quality, diverse portfolio and are pleased with our operating results," commented Douglas A. Kessler, Ashford Trust's President and Chief Executive Officer. "In 2017, we completed several capital markets transactions that we believe strengthened our balance sheet. These transactions are expected to result in approximately $21 million of annual savings. Looking ahead, we believe we are well positioned to capitalize on future opportunities and remain committed to maximizing value for our shareholders."

Substantially all of our non-current assets consist of real estate investments and debt investments secured by real estate. 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 supplemental measures of performance, which are not measures of operating performance under GAAP, to assist in evaluating a real estate company's operations. These supplemental measures include FFO, AFFO, EBITDA, and Hotel EBITDA. FFO is computed in accordance with our interpretation of standards established by NAREIT, which may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs that do not define the term in accordance with the current NAREIT definition or that interpret the NAREIT definition differently than us. None of FFO, AFFO, EBITDA, or Hotel EBITDA represents cash generated from operating activities as determined by GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to a) GAAP net income (loss) as an indication of our financial performance or b) GAAP cash flows from operating activities as a measure of our liquidity, nor are such measures indicative of funds available to satisfy our cash needs, including our ability to make cash distributions. However, management believes FFO, AFFO, EBITDA, and Hotel EBITDA to be meaningful measures of a REIT's performance and should be considered along with, but not as an alternative to, net income and cash flow as a measure of our operating performance.

Certain statements and assumptions in this press release contain or are based upon "forward-looking" information and are being made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward looking statements in this press release may include, among others, statements about the Company's strategy and future plans. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties. When we use the words "will likely result," "may," "anticipate," "estimate," "should," "expect," "believe," "intend," or similar expressions, we intend to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements are subject to numerous assumptions and uncertainties, many of which are outside Ashford Trust's control.

These forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated, including, without limitation: general volatility of the capital markets and the market price of our common stock; changes in our business or investment strategy; availability, terms and deployment of capital; availability of qualified personnel; changes in our industry and the market in which we operate, interest rates or the general economy; and the degree and nature of our competition. These and other risk factors are more fully discussed in Ashford Trust's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. EBITDA is defined as net income before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA yield is defined as trailing twelve month EBITDA divided by the purchase price. A capitalization rate is determined by dividing the property's annual net operating income by the purchase price. Net operating income is the property's funds from operations minus a capital expense reserve of either 4% or 5% of gross revenues. Hotel EBITDA flow-through is the change in Hotel EBITDA divided by the change in total revenues. Hotel EBITDA Margin is Hotel EBITDA divided by total revenues. Funds from operations ("FFO"), as defined by the White Paper on FFO approved by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") in April 2002, represents net income (loss) computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of properties and extraordinary items as defined by GAAP, plus depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, and net of adjustments for the portion of these items related to unconsolidated entities and joint ventures.

The forward-looking statements included in this press release are only made as of the date of this press release. Investors should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. We are not obligated to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or circumstances, changes in expectations or otherwise.
