AHIP”,
or the “
Company”) (TSX: HOT.UN, TSX: HOT.U, TSX:
HOT.DB. V), today announced its financial results for the three and
nine months ended September 30, 2024.
All amounts presented in this news release are
in United States dollars (“U.S. dollars”) unless
otherwise indicated.
2024 THIRD QUARTER
HIGHLIGHTS
- AHIP is taking
decisive steps to improve its balance sheet and address near term
debt maturities through strategic dispositions of non-core hotels
and planned refinancings.
- Same property
RevPAR (1) was $98 for the third quarter of 2024, an increase of
2.1% compared to the same period of 2023 with increases in both ADR
(1) and occupancy (1).
- Same property NOI
was $19.0 million for the third quarter of 2024, an increase of
0.5% compared to the same period of 2023.
- Same property NOI
margin was 30.2% for the third quarter of 2024, a decrease of 50
bps compared to the same period of 2023.
- Diluted FFO per
unit (1) and normalized diluted FFO per unit (1) were $0.06 and
$0.07, respectively, for the third quarter of 2024, compared to
$0.17 and $0.11 for the same period of 2023.
- Completed
dispositions of five hotel properties for total gross proceeds of
$54.7 million in the current quarter, with a blended Cap Rate (1)
of 7.3% on 2023 annual hotel EBITDA (1), after adjusting for an
industry standard 4% FF&E reserve.
- Since September 30,
2024, the dispositions of four hotel properties for total gross
proceeds of $40.8 million were completed, and the dispositions of
five additional hotel properties for total gross proceeds of $52.8
million are expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2024.
These dispositions represent a blended Cap Rate of 6.9%, and 6.4%,
respectively, both on 2023 annual hotel EBITDA, after adjusting for
an industry standard 4% FF&E reserve.
- The dispositions
completed in the current quarter resulted in total debt repayment
of $49.5 million. Including dispositions completed since September
30, 2024, and expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of
2024, total estimated debt repayment is $78.0 million which
includes estimated repayments of $35.4 million to the term loans
governed by the Sixth Amendment (defined below), which will satisfy
the primary remaining condition to extend the maturity of the
revolving credit facility and term loans.
- Debt to gross book
value (1) was 50.1% as at September 30, 2024, a decrease of 180 bps
compared to 51.9% as at December 31, 2023.
- Debt to TTM EBITDA
(1) was 9.1x as at September 30, 2024, a decrease of 1.0x compared
to 10.1x as at September 30, 2023.
- AHIP had $36.5
million in available liquidity as at September 30, 2024,
compared to $27.8 million as at December 31, 2023. The available
liquidity of $36.5 million was comprised of an unrestricted cash
balance of $25.8 million and borrowing availability of $10.7
million under the revolving credit facility.
“AHIP’s portfolio of premium branded select
service hotel properties continued to demonstrate strong demand
metrics in Q3 2024.” said Jonathan Korol, CEO. “Same property
ADR, occupancy and RevPAR all achieved growth in the current
quarter. Cost inflation is decelerating across many cost
categories, and we are making progress on operating margins with
wage increase moderating and less reliance on overtime and contract
labor.”
Mr. Korol added: “In 2024, AHIP made significant
progress on our plan to reduce debt and high-grade the portfolio
through asset sales and loan refinancings. AHIP has completed the
dispositions of eleven hotel properties and has five additional
hotel properties under contract for sale for total gross proceeds
of $165.2 million. These dispositions are expected to result in an
improvement to the portfolio with a pro forma increase in RevPAR,
NOI margin and EBITDA per hotel. AHIP also signed a non-binding
term sheet with a major US Bank to refinance certain borrowing base
hotel properties under our senior credit facility, which will
significantly reduce the balance of our term loans and revolving
credit facility in the fourth quarter of 2024.
Once completed, these steps will strengthen our
liquidity and balance sheet and resolve all of our 2024 debt
maturities. With the US economy remaining strong, we are positioned
to benefit if the industry operating environment improves in 2025.
We will continue to monitor macroeconomic conditions and operating
performance, while considering further strategic opportunities to
deliver value to unitholders over the long term.”
2024 THIRD QUARTER REVIEW
FINANCIAL AND OPERATIONAL
HIGHLIGHTS
For the three months ended September 30, 2024,
ADR, occupancy, and RevPAR were consistent with the same period in
2023. The improved RevPAR for the extended stay and select service
properties was offset by lower RevPAR for the Embassy Suites
properties.
NOI and normalized NOI were $19.5 million and
$19.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024,
decreases of 12.6% and 12.7%, respectively, compared to NOI of
$22.3 million and normalized NOI of $22.8 million for the same
period in 2023. The decrease in NOI and normalized NOI was
primarily due to the disposition of the seven hotel properties
completed during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
NOI margin was 29.6% in the current quarter, a
decrease of 60 bps compared to the same period in 2023. The
decrease in NOI margin was due to higher operating expenses as a
result of higher salaries and repair and maintenance expenses in
the current quarter. Although certain operating expenses are
expected to remain a challenge in 2024, the year-over-year NOI
margin decline has improved from 270 bps in the first quarter of
2024 to 60 bps in the current quarter.
AHIP completed its property insurance renewal
effective June 1, 2024, with a decrease in premiums compared to the
prior period ended May 31, 2024. On an annualized basis, the
decrease from the prior period is approximately $1.6 million, which
will be recognized in earnings over a twelve-month period.
Diluted FFO per unit and normalized diluted FFO
per unit were $0.06 and $0.07 for the third quarter of 2024,
respectively, compared to diluted FFO per unit of $0.17 and
normalized diluted FFO per unit of $0.11 for the same period in
2023. The decrease in normalized diluted FFO per unit was mainly
due to lower NOI and higher financing costs, partially offset by
lower corporate and administrative expenses in the current
quarter.

Same property ADR in the current quarter is
$135, an increase of 0.7% compared to the same period of 2023. Same
property occupancy increased by 80 bps to 72.7% in the current
quarter compared to the same period of 2023. The increase in ADR
and occupancy is primarily attributable to higher demand for
extended stay and select service properties.
Same property NOI margin decreased by 50 bps to
30.2% compared to the same period of 2023. The decrease in the same
property NOI margin was due to higher operating expenses as a
result of higher salaries and repair and maintenance expenses in
the current quarter. Although certain operating expenses are
expected to remain a challenge in 2024, the year-over-year same
property NOI margin decline has improved for four consecutive
quarters since the fourth quarter of 2023.

decrease of 1.0x compared to September 30, 2023. The improvement in
debt to gross book value and debt to TTM EBITDA was due to the use
of net proceeds from the completed dispositions to pay down CMBS
mortgage debt and the term loans governed by the Sixth
Amendment.
As at September 30, 2024, AHIP had $36.5 million
in available liquidity, compared to $27.8 million as at December

an unrestricted cash balance of $25.8 million and borrowing
availability of $10.7 million under the revolving credit facility.
AHIP had an additional restricted cash balance of $35.4 million as
at September 30, 2024.

As of the date of the news release, AHIP has
completed the dispositions of eleven properties for total gross
proceeds of $112.4 million during the current financial year. In
addition, AHIP has five hotel properties under purchase and sales
agreements for total gross proceeds of $52.8 million. AHIP intends
to use the net proceeds from these dispositions to repay certain
CMBS mortgage loans and reduce the balance of the term loans
governed by the Sixth Amendment.
After adjusting for an industry standard 4%
FF&E reserve, the combined sales price for the 16 properties
either sold in 2024 or currently under contract for sale represents
a blended Cap Rate of 7.0% on 2023 annual hotel EBITDA. AHIP’s
current enterprise value reflects an implied Cap Rate of 8.7% on
2023 annual hotel EBITDA for the portfolio of 58 hotel properties,
excluding the five hotel properties in respect of which AHIP is in
managed foreclosure as of September 30, 2024, based on the
U.S. dollar closing price of US$0.44 per unit on the TSX on
November 5, 2024.
AHIP intends to continue to execute its strategy
to divest assets to reduce debt and is currently marketing a
selected number of additional properties which are expected to
demonstrate value above the current unit trading price.
INITIATIVES TO STRENGTHEN FINANCIAL
POSITION AND PRESERVE UNITHOLDER VALUE
The Board of Directors (the
“Board”), together with management, have
implemented a plan to strengthen AHIP’s financial position and to
preserve unitholder value. Initiatives, and progress made to date,
are outlined below.
PLAN TO ADDRESS LOAN
MATURITIES
AHIP has made significant progress with its plan
to address the Company’s upcoming debt maturities. These efforts
continue to improve leverage metrics.
To address the Q2 2024 commercial
mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”) loan
maturities of $22.3 million, AHIP completed the disposition of one
hotel property and refinanced the balance of the loan in March
2024, specifically:
- AHIP completed the
disposition of a hotel property in Harrisonburg, Virginia for gross
proceeds of $8.6 million. The net proceeds were used to partially
satisfy the non-recourse mortgage debt; and
- AHIP completed the
CMBS refinancing for the remaining three assets secured against
this loan with gross proceeds of $17.5 million prior to initial
capital reserves contribution of approximately $5.0 million. The
term of this new CMBS loan is five years at a fixed annual interest
rate of 7.8%.
To address upcoming CMBS loan maturities, AHIP
completed the dispositions of seven hotel properties since the
beginning of the third quarter for total gross proceeds of $75.4
million, specifically:
- In August 2024,
AHIP completed the dispositions of two hotel properties in
Amarillo, Texas for gross proceeds of $9.3 million and $8.3
million, respectively. The CMBS mortgage loan of $16.0 million was
fully repaid in the third quarter of 2024.
- In September 2024,
AHIP completed the dispositions of two hotel properties in Ocala,
Florida for gross proceeds of $11.1 million and $14.9 million,
respectively. The CMBS mortgage loan of $19.0 million was fully
repaid in the third quarter of 2024.
- In October and
November 2024, AHIP completed the dispositions of two hotel
properties in Statesville, North Carolina, and one hotel property
in Melbourne, Florida for gross proceeds of $13.0 million, $12.2
million and $6.6 million, respectively. The CMBS mortgage loan of
$24.9 million was fully repaid in the fourth quarter of 2024.
- In addition, 50% of
the net proceeds remaining after the CMBS mortgage loan repayment
from the dispositions of these seven hotel properties, which was
$8.0 million, was used to pay down outstanding amounts under the
term loans governed by the Sixth Amendment in the third and fourth
quarters of 2024.
The Sixth Amendment dated November 7, 2023 (the
“Sixth Amendment”), which governs AHIP’s revolving
credit facility (the “RCF” or “revolving
credit facility”) and certain term loans, includes a
borrower option to extend the maturity of the RCF and term loans to
June 2025, subject to three primary conditions: (i) reduction of
the aggregate maximum facility size to $148.2 million from and
after December 3, 2024; (ii) obtaining updated appraisals for the
borrowing base properties in order to determine the value of such
properties for purposes of setting the maximum borrowing
availability under the Sixth Amendment, which is set based on a
maximum loan to value ratio of 67.5%; and (iii) compliance with the
terms of the Sixth Amendment at the time of the extension which
includes among other things compliance with financial covenants
including payout ratio and fixed charge coverage ratio.
- During the current
quarter, AHIP completed the disposition of one hotel property in
Egg Harbor, New Jersey for gross proceeds of $11.1 million. The net
proceeds of $10.3 million were used to repay the term loans
governed by the Sixth Amendment in the same period.
- In November 2024,
AHIP completed the disposition of one hotel property in Houston,
Texas for gross proceeds of $9.0 million. The net proceeds of $8.2
million were used to repay the term loans governed by the Sixth
Amendment in the same period.
- AHIP made total
repayments of $11.0 million during the current quarter, and
additional repayments of $15.5 million since September 30, 2024,
which reduced the balance of RCF and term loans pursuant to the
Sixth Amendment to $156.0 million as of the date of the news
release.
To further reduce the aggregate facility size
before December 3, 2024:
- As of the date of
the news release, AHIP has five hotel properties under purchase and
sales agreements for total gross proceeds of $52.8 million with
expected closing dates prior to December 3, 2024. The completion of
these dispositions is expected to reduce the aggregate facility
balance by approximately $23.4 million, which represents the
required repayment amount under the terms of the Sixth
Amendment.
- AHIP has also
signed a non-binding term sheet with a major US Bank to refinance
in the CMBS market certain borrowing base properties currently
secured under the Sixth Amendment. Management is currently
targeting to close this refinancing by the end of November 2024,
subject to the completion of definitive legal documentation and
other customary closing conditions. This refinancing, if completed,
is expected to reduce the aggregate facility balance outstanding
under the Sixth Amendment by approximately $60.0 million.
- Accordingly, AHIP
expects to achieve the required paydown with either the asset sales
or the refinancing prior to December 3, 2024. With both achieved,
the aggregate facility balance under the Sixth Amendment would be
reduced to approximately $72.6 million.

under brands affiliated with Marriott, Hilton, IHG and Choice
Hotels through license agreements. AHIP’s long-term objectives are
to build on its proven track record of successful investment,
deliver monthly U.S. dollar denominated distributions to
unitholders, and generate value through the continued growth of
itsdiversified hotel portfolio. More information is available at
www.ahipreit.com.
NON-IFRS AND OTHER FINANCIAL
MEASURES
Management believes the following non-IFRS
financial measures, non-IFRS ratios, capital management measures
and supplementary financial measures are relevant measures to
monitor and evaluate AHIP’s financial and operating performance.
These measures and ratios do not have any standardized meaning
prescribed by IFRS and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to
similar measures presented by other issuers. These measures and
ratios are included to provide investors and management additional
information and alternative methods for assessing AHIP’s financial
and operating results and should not be considered in isolation or
as a substitute for performance measures prepared in accordance
with IFRS.
NON-IFRS FINANCIAL
MEASURES:
FFO: FFO measures operating
performance and is calculated in accordance with Real Property
Association of Canada’s (“REALPAC”) definition.
FFO – basic is calculated by adjusting loss and comprehensive
income (loss) for depreciation and amortization, gain or loss on
disposal of property, IFRIC 21 property taxes, fair value gain or
loss, impairment of property, deferred income tax, and other
applicable items. FFO – diluted is calculated as FFO – basic plus
the interest, accretion, and amortization on convertible debentures
if convertible debentures are dilutive. The most comparable IFRS
measure to FFO is income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss),
for which a reconciliation is provided in this news release.
AFFO: AFFO is defined as a
recurring economic earnings measure and calculated in accordance
with REALPAC’s definition. AFFO – basic is calculated as FFO –
basic less maintenance capital expenditures. AFFO – diluted is
calculated as FFO – diluted less maintenance capital expenditures.
The most comparable IFRS measure to AFFO is income (loss) and
comprehensive income (loss), for which a reconciliation is provided
in this news release.
Normalized FFO: calculated as
FFO adjusting for non-recurring items. For the three months ended
September 30, 2024, normalized FFO is calculated as FFO
excluding the non-recurring property damage insurance proceeds
adjustment of $1.1 million recorded in the same period. For the
nine months ended September 30, 2024, normalized FFO is
calculated as FFO excluding the non-recurring property damage
insurance proceeds of $1.6 million recorded in the same period. For
the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023,
normalized FFO is calculated as FFO excluding the non-recurring
insurance proceeds of $5.4 million and $12.9 million, respectively,
for property damage related to the weather-related damage at
several hotel properties in late December 2022. The most comparable
IFRS measure to normalized FFO is income (loss) and comprehensive
income (loss), for which a reconciliation is provided in this news
release.
Normalized NOI: calculated as
NOI adjusting for non-recurring items. For the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2024, normalized NOI included the
non-recurring insurance proceeds of $0.4 million and $0.5 million,
respectively, for business interruption claims. For the three and
nine months ended September 30, 2023, normalized NOI
included the non-recurring insurance proceeds of $0.5 million and
$3.4 million, respectively, for business interruption claims
related to the weather-related damage at several hotel properties
in late December 2022. The most comparable IFRS measure to
normalized NOI is NOI, for which a reconciliation is provided in
this news release.
Hotel EBITDA: calculated by
adjusting NOI for hotel management fees. The most comparable IFRS
measure to hotel EBITDA is NOI, for which a reconciliation is
provided in this news release.
EBITDA: calculated by adjusting
NOI for hotel management fees and general administrative expenses.
The sum of hotel management fees and general administrative
expenses is equal to corporate and administrative expenses in the
Financial Statements. The most comparable IFRS measure to EBITDA is
NOI, for which a reconciliation is provided in this news
release.
Debt: calculated as the sum of
term loans and revolving credit facility, the face value of
convertible debentures, unamortized portion of debt financing
costs, lease liabilities and unamortized portion of mark-to-market
adjustments. The most comparable IFRS measure to debt is total
liabilities, for which a reconciliation is provided in this news
release.
Gross book value: calculated as
the sum of total assets, accumulated depreciation and impairment on
property, buildings and equipment, and accumulated amortization on
intangible assets. The most comparable IFRS measure to gross book
value is total assets, for which a reconciliation is provided in
this news release.
Interest expense: calculated by
adjusting finance costs for gain/loss on debt settlement,
amortization of debt financing costs, accretion of debenture
liability, amortization of debenture costs, dividends on series B
preferred shares and amortization of mark-to-market adjustments,
accretion of management fee because interest expense excludes
certain non-cash accounting items and dividends on preferred
shares. The most comparable IFRS measure to interest expense is
finance costs, for which a reconciliation is provided in this news
release.
Enterprise value: is a
supplementary financial measure and is calculated as the sum of (i)
total debt obligations as reflected on the September 30, 2024
balance sheet, less the term loans of the five hotel properties in
respect of which AHIP is in managed foreclosure as of
September 30, 2024, (ii) AHIP’s market capitalization (which
is calculated as the U.S. dollar closing price of the units on the
TSX as of November 5, 2024, multiplied by the total number of units
issued and outstanding), and (iii) face value of series C preferred
shares, less (iv) the amount of cash and cash equivalents reflected
on the September 30, 2024 balance sheet.
NON-IFRS RATIOS:
FFO per unit – basic/diluted:
calculated as FFO – basic/diluted divided by weighted average
number of units outstanding - basic/diluted respectively for the
reporting periods.
Normalized FFO per unit –
basic/diluted: calculated as normalized FFO –
basic/diluted divided by weighted average number of units
outstanding - basic/diluted respectively for the reporting
periods.
AFFO per unit – basic/diluted:
calculated as AFFO – basic/diluted divided by weighted average
number of units outstanding - basic/diluted respectively for the
reporting periods.
Hotel EBITDA margin: calculated
as hotel EBITDA divided by total revenue.
EBITDA margin: calculated as
EBITDA divided by total revenue.
Capitalization rate (“Cap
Rate”): calculated as 2023 annual hotel EBITDA, after
adjusting for an industry standard 4% furniture, fixtures, and
equipment (“FF&E”) reserve, divided by the
actual and expected gross proceeds of the asset dispositions.
Implied capitalization rate (“implied
Cap Rate”): calculated as 2023 annual hotel EBITDA, after
adjusting for an industry standard 4% FF&E reserve, for the
portfolio of 58 hotel properties by excluding the five hotel
properties in respect of which AHIP is in managed foreclosure as of
September 30, 2024, divided by the enterprise value as at
November 5, 2024.
CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
MEASURES:
Debt to gross book value:
calculated as debt divided by gross book value. Debt to gross book
value is a primary measure of capital management and leverage.
Debt to TTM EBITDA: calculated
as debt divided by the trailing twelve months (“TTM”) of EBITDA.
Debt to EBITDA measures the amount of income generated and
available to pay down debt before covering interest, taxes,
depreciation, and amortization expenses. In Q3 2024, the debt to
TTM EBITDA calculation excluded five hotels in respect of which
AHIP is in managed foreclosure as of September 30, 2024.
Interest coverage ratio:
calculated as TTM EBITDA divided by interest expense for the
trailing twelve months. The interest coverage ratio is a measure of
AHIP’s ability to service the interest requirements of its
outstanding debt. In Q3 2024, the interest coverage ratio
calculation excluded five hotels in respect of which AHIP is in
managed foreclosure as of September 30, 2024.
SUPPLEMENTARY FINANCIAL
MEASURES:
Occupancy is a major driver of room revenue as
well as food and beverage revenues. Fluctuations in occupancy are
normally accompanied by fluctuations in most categories of variable
hotel operating expenses, including housekeeping and other labor
costs. Higher ADR increases room revenue with limited impact on
hotel operating expenses. Increase in RevPAR attributable to
increase in occupancy may reduce EBITDA and EBITDA margins, while
increase in RevPAR attributable to increase in ADR typically result
in increases in EBITDA and EBITDA margins.
Occupancy: calculated as the
total number of hotel rooms sold divided by the total number of
rooms available for the reporting periods. Occupancy is a metric
commonly used in the hotel industry to measure the utilization of
hotels’ available capacity.
Average daily rate (“ADR”):
calculated as total room revenue divided by total number of rooms
sold for the reporting periods. ADR is a metric commonly used in
the hotel industry to indicate the average revenue earned per
occupied room in a given time period.
Revenue per available room
(“RevPAR”): calculated as occupancy multiplied by ADR for
the reporting periods.
Same property occupancy, ADR, RevPAR,
revenue, expense, NOI and NOI margin: measured for
properties owned by AHIP for both the current reporting periods and
the same periods in 2023. In Q3 2024, Q4 2023 and Q3 2023, the same
property ADR, occupancy, RevPAR and NOI margin calculations
excluded the five hotel properties in respect of which AHIP is in
managed foreclosure as of September 30, 2024. In Q2 2024 and
Q1 2024, the same property ADR, occupancy, RevPAR and NOI margin
calculations excluded the same five hotel properties mentioned in
the immediately preceding sentence, as well as the Residence Inn
Neptune and Courtyard Wall in New Jersey as these two hotels had
limited availability in Q2 2023 and Q1 2023 comparative periods,
due to remediation and rebuilding after the weather-related damage
in late December 2022.
