Pebblebrook Hotel Trust (NYSE: PEB) reported Q1 EPS of ($0.98), $0.08 worse than the analyst estimate of ($0.90). Revenue for the quarter came in at $83.64 million versus the consensus estimate of $89.03 million.

"Improving demand trends during the first quarter exceeded our expectations, with rising confidence in travel as vaccination rates improved and travel restrictions eased. Same-Property Hotel EBITDA in March turned positive due to robust pent-up leisure demand throughout the portfolio. This rapid turnaround is a remarkable accomplishment considering the currently low levels of business transient and group hotel demand. The improvements in operating trends allowed us to reopen 10 more hotels since the end of February, including 7 in San Francisco, and one each in Boston, Portland, and Washington, D.C. As we look forward, we are encouraged with the increased booking activity we are experiencing, which we expect to strengthen further as we near the traditional peak leisure summer season. These accelerating trends should allow us to return to profitability earlier in the second half of this year than we expected just 45 days ago. We are also pleased to report the successful sale of the Sir Francis Drake Hotel in San Francisco, California, generating $157.6 million of net proceeds and a taxable gain of approximately $60.0 million. Strategically, we anticipate reallocating the proceeds from recent property dispositions into new acquisition opportunities that we expect will generate enhanced growth opportunities for our shareholders as they may become available.”
