BRAEMAR HOTELS & RESORTS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
1. Organization and Description of Business
Braemar Hotels & Resorts Inc., together with its subsidiaries (“Braemar”), is a Maryland corporation that invests primarily in high revenue per available room (“RevPAR”) luxury hotels and resorts. High RevPAR, for purposes of our investment strategy, means RevPAR of at least twice the then-current U.S. national average RevPAR for all hotels as determined by Smith Travel Research. Braemar has elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). Braemar conducts its business and owns substantially all of its assets through its operating partnership, Braemar Hospitality Limited Partnership (“Braemar OP”). In this report, the terms “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our” refers to Braemar Hotels & Resorts Inc. and, as the context may require, all entities included in its condensed consolidated financial statements.
We are advised by Ashford Hospitality Advisors LLC (“Ashford LLC” or the “Advisor”) through an advisory agreement. Ashford LLC is a subsidiary of Ashford Inc. All of the hotel properties in our portfolio are currently asset-managed by Ashford LLC. We do not have any employees. All of the services that might be provided by employees are provided to us by Ashford LLC.
We do not operate any of our hotel properties directly; instead we employ hotel management companies to operate them for us under management contracts. Remington Hotels, a subsidiary of Ashford Inc., manages three of our thirteen hotel properties. Third-party management companies manage the remaining hotel properties.
Ashford Inc. also provides other products and services to us or our hotel properties through certain entities in which Ashford Inc. has an ownership interest. These products and services include, but are not limited to design and construction services, debt placement and related services, broker-dealer and distribution services, audio visual services, real estate advisory services, insurance claims services, hypoallergenic premium rooms, watersport activities, travel/transportation services and mobile key technology.
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries of Braemar OP that as of June 30, 2021, own thirteen hotel properties in six states, the District of Columbia and the U.S. Virgin Islands (“USVI”). The portfolio includes eleven wholly-owned hotel properties and two hotel properties that are owned through a partnership in which Braemar OP has a controlling interest. These hotel properties represent 3,722 total rooms, or 3,487 net rooms, excluding those attributable to our partner. As a REIT, Braemar is required to comply with limitations imposed by the Code related to operating hotels. As of June 30, 2021, twelve of our thirteen hotel properties were leased by wholly-owned or majority-owned subsidiaries that are treated as taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRS”) for federal income tax purposes (collectively the TRS entities are referred to as “Braemar TRS”). One hotel property, located in the USVI, is owned by our USVI TRS. Braemar TRS then engages third-party or affiliated hotel management companies to operate the hotel properties under management contracts. Hotel operating results related to the hotel properties are included in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
As of June 30, 2021, ten of the thirteen hotel properties were leased by Braemar’s wholly-owned TRS and the two hotel properties majority-owned through a consolidated partnership were leased to a TRS wholly-owned by such consolidated partnership. Each leased hotel is leased under a percentage lease that provides for each lessee to pay in each calendar month the base rent plus, in each calendar quarter, percentage rent, if any, based on hotel revenues. Lease revenue from Braemar TRS is eliminated in consolidation. The hotel properties are operated under management contracts with Marriott Hotel Services, Inc. (“Marriott”), Hilton Management LLC (“Hilton”), Accor Management US Inc. (“Accor”), Hyatt Corporation (“Hyatt”), Ritz-Carlton (Virgin Islands), Inc. and The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company, L.L.C., each of which are affiliates of Marriott (“Ritz-Carlton”) and Remington Hotels, which are eligible independent contractors under the Code.
COVID-19, Management’s Plans and Liquidity
In December 2019, COVID-19 was identified in Wuhan, China, subsequently spread to other regions of the world, and has resulted in significant travel restrictions and extended shutdown of numerous businesses throughout the United States. In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 to be a global pandemic. Beginning in late February 2020, we experienced a significant decline in occupancy and RevPAR associated with COVID-19 as we experienced significant reservation cancellations as well as a significant reduction in new reservations. The prolonged presence of the virus has resulted in health and other government authorities imposing widespread restrictions on travel and other businesses.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

When preparing financial statements for each annual and interim reporting period management has the responsibility to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that create substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. In applying the accounting guidance, the Company considers its current financial condition and liquidity sources, including current funds available, forecasted future cash flows and its unconditional obligations due over the next 12 months.
As of June 30, 2021, the Company maintained unrestricted cash of $157.7 million and restricted cash of $57.4 million. The vast majority of the restricted cash is comprised of lender and manager held reserves. During 2020, the Company worked with its property managers and lenders in order to utilize lender and manager held reserves to fund operating shortfalls. As of June 30, 2021, there was also $21.5 million due to the Company from third-party hotel managers, which is primarily the Company’s cash held by one of its property managers which is also available to fund hotel operating costs. On December 10, 2020, the Company announced that it plans to continue its suspension of the common stock dividend into 2021 to protect liquidity and will evaluate future dividend declarations on a quarterly basis going forward.
We cannot predict when hotel operating levels will return to normalized levels after the effects of the pandemic fully subside, whether our hotels will be forced to shut down operations or whether one or more possible recurrences of COVID-19 case surges could result in further reductions in business and personal travel or potentially cause state and local governments to reinstate travel restrictions. As a result of these factors resulting from the impact of the pandemic, we are unable to estimate future financial performance with certainty. However, based on our completed Convertible Senior Notes transaction (as described below), the corresponding repayment of our secured term loan, which eliminated financial covenants associated with it, our current unrestricted and restricted cash on hand, our current cash utilization and forecast of future operating results for the next 12 months from the date of this report, and the actions we have taken to improve our liquidity, the Company has concluded that the facts and circumstances that previously gave rise to substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued have been resolved. Facts and circumstances could change in the future that are outside of management’s control, such as additional government mandates, health official orders, travel restrictions and extended business shutdowns due to COVID-19.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation—The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. These condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Braemar Hotels & Resorts Inc., its majority-owned subsidiaries, and its majority-owned entities in which it has a controlling interest. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions between consolidated entities have been eliminated in these condensed consolidated financial statements. We have condensed or omitted certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. We believe the disclosures made herein are adequate to prevent the information presented from being misleading. However, the financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 5, 2021.
Braemar OP is considered to be a variable interest entity (“VIE”), as defined by authoritative accounting guidance. A VIE must be consolidated by a reporting entity if the reporting entity is the primary beneficiary because it has (i) the power to direct the VIE’s activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE. All major decisions related to Braemar OP that most significantly impact its economic performance, including but not limited to operating procedures with respect to business affairs and any acquisitions, dispositions, financings, restructurings or other transactions with sellers, purchasers, lenders, brokers, agents and other applicable representatives, are subject to the approval of our wholly-owned subsidiary, Braemar OP General Partner LLC, its general partner. As such, we consolidate Braemar OP.
The following items affect reporting comparability of our historical condensed consolidated financial statements:
•historical seasonality patterns at some of our hotel properties cause fluctuations in our overall operating results. Consequently, operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2021.

Use of Estimates—The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards—In January 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-01, Investments – Equity Securities (Topic 321), Investments—Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) – Clarifying the Interactions between Topic 321, Topic 323, and Topic 815 (a consensus of the Emerging Issues Task Force) (“ASU 2020-01”), which clarifies the interaction between the accounting for equity securities, equity method investments, and certain derivative instruments. The ASU, among other things, clarifies that a company should consider observable transactions that require a company to either apply or discontinue the equity method of accounting under Topic 323, Investments—Equity Method and Joint Ventures, for the purposes of applying the measurement alternative in accordance with Topic 321 immediately before applying or upon discontinuing the equity method. ASU 2020-01 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within those fiscal years and should be applied prospectively. Early adoption is permitted. We adopted the standard effective January 1, 2021 and the adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards—In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) (“ASU 2020-04”). ASU 2020-04 contains practical expedients for reference rate reform related activities that impact debt, leases, derivatives and other contracts. The guidance in ASU 2020-04 is optional and may be elected over time as reference rate reform activities occur. In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope (“ASU 2021-01”) to provide guidance and relief for transitioning to alternative reference rates. ASU 2021-01 is effective immediately for all entities. The Company continues to evaluate the impact of the guidance and may apply the elections as applicable as changes in the market occur.
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity (“ASU 2020-06”), which simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity. This ASU (1) simplifies the accounting for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock by removing the existing guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 470-20, Debt: Debt with Conversion and Other Options, that requires entities to account for beneficial conversion features and cash conversion features in equity, separately from the host convertible debt or preferred stock; (2) revises the scope exception from derivative accounting in ASC 815-40 for freestanding financial instruments and embedded features that are both indexed to the issuer’s own stock and classified in stockholders’ equity, by removing certain criteria required for equity classification; and (3) revises the guidance in ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, to require entities to calculate diluted earnings per share (EPS) for convertible instruments by using the if-converted method. In addition, entities must presume share settlement for purposes of calculating diluted EPS when an instrument may be settled in cash or shares. For SEC filers, excluding smaller reporting companies, this ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. Entities should adopt the guidance as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption and cannot adopt the guidance in an interim reporting period. We are currently evaluating the impact that ASU 2020-06 may have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Impairment Charges and Insurance Recoveries
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, we recognized a $0 and $481,000 gain associated with proceeds received from an insurance claim.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company received proceeds of $5.4 million and $7.4 million from our insurance carriers for property damage and business interruption from Hurricane Irma. There were no proceeds for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 as the claim was fully settled in September 2020.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, no impairment charges were recorded.
In September 2020, the Company reached a final settlement with its insurance carriers related to Hurricane Irma. Upon settlement, the Company recorded a gain of $10.1 million as the proceeds received exceeded the carrying value of the hotel property at the time of the loss.
5. Investment in Unconsolidated Entity
OpenKey is a hospitality-focused mobile key platform that provides a universal smart phone app and related hardware and software for keyless entry into hotel guest rooms. In 2018, the Company made an initial investment in OpenKey, which is controlled and consolidated by Ashford Inc., for an initial 8.2% ownership interest. All investments were recommended by our Related Party Transactions Committee and unanimously approved by the independent members of our board of directors. As of June 30, 2021, the Company has made investments in OpenKey totaling $2.4 million.
Our investment is recorded as “investment in unconsolidated entity” in our condensed consolidated balance sheets and is accounted for under the equity method of accounting as we have been deemed to have significant influence over the entity under the applicable accounting guidance. We review our investment in OpenKey for impairment in each reporting period pursuant to the applicable authoritative accounting guidance. An investment is impaired when its estimated fair value is less than the carrying amount of the investment. Any impairment is recorded in equity in earnings (loss) of unconsolidated entity. No such impairment was recorded for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020.

Capital Hilton and Hilton La Jolla Torrey Pines. As of June 30, 2021, no loans are in default. See note 14 for discussion of the loan modification agreement with Lismore Capital LLC (“Lismore”). The Company determined that all of the forbearance and other agreements evaluated were considered troubled debt restructurings due to terms that allowed for deferred interest and the forgiveness of default interest and late charges. No gain or loss was recognized during 2020, as the carrying amount of the original loans was not greater than the undiscounted cash flows of the modified loans. Additionally, as a result of the troubled debt restructurings all accrued default interest and late charges were capitalized into the applicable loan balances and are being amortized over the remaining term of the loans using the effective interest method. The amount of non-cash principal amortization associated with the default interest and late charges during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 was approximately $1.0 million and $2.4 million, respectively.
Convertible Senior Notes
In May 2021, the Company issued $86.25 million aggregate principal amount of 4.50% Convertible Senior Notes due June 2026 (the “Convertible Senior Notes”). The net proceeds from this offering of the Convertible Senior Notes were approximately $82.8 million after deducting the underwriting fees and other expenses paid by the Company. A portion of the proceeds were used to fully repay the secured term loan.
The Convertible Senior Notes are governed by an indenture (the “Base Indenture”) between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee. The Convertible Senior Notes bear interest at a rate of 4.50% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year, beginning on December 1, 2021. The Convertible Senior Notes will mature on June 1, 2026. The Company recorded coupon interest expense of $464,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021.
The Company separated the Convertible Senior Notes into liability and equity components. The initial carrying amount of the liability component was calculated using a discount rate of 7.1%. The discount rate was based on the terms of debt instruments that were similar to the Convertible Senior Notes. The $6.3 million carrying amount of the equity component representing the conversion option was determined by deducting the fair value of the liability component from the net proceeds of the Convertible Senior Notes. The amount recorded in equity is not subject to remeasurement or amortization. The initial discount of $9.3 million is accreted to interest expense using the effective interest rate method over the contractual term of the Convertible Senior Notes. The Company recorded discount amortization of $185,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021.
The Convertible Senior Notes are convertible at any time prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the maturity date for cash, shares of the Company’s common stock or a combination of cash and shares of the Company’s common stock, at the election of the Company, based on an initial conversion rate of 157.7909 shares of the Company’s common stock per $1,000 principal amount of notes (equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $6.34 per share of common stock), subject to adjustment of the conversion rate under certain circumstances. In addition, following the occurrence of certain corporate events, if the Company provides notice of redemption or if it exercises its option to convert the Convertible Senior Notes, the Company will, in certain circumstances, increase the conversion rate for a holder that converts its Convertible Senior Notes in connection with such corporate event, such notice of redemption, or such issuer conversion option, as the case may be.
The Company may redeem the Convertible Senior Notes at the Company’s option, in whole or in part, on any business day on or after the date of issuance if the last reported sale price per share of the Company’s common stock has been at least 130% of the conversion price then in effect for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during any 30 consecutive trading day period ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the date on which the Company provides a notice of redemption at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Convertible Senior Notes to be redeemed subject to certain adjustments, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date.
If we violate covenants in any debt agreement, we could be required to repay all or a portion of our indebtedness before maturity at a time when we might be unable to arrange financing for such repayment on attractive terms, if at all. The assets of certain of our subsidiaries are pledged under non-recourse indebtedness and are not available to satisfy the debts and other obligations of the consolidated group. As of June 30, 2021, we were in compliance with all covenants.

7. Derivative Instruments
Interest Rate Derivatives—We are exposed to risks arising from our business operations, economic conditions and financial markets. To manage these risks, we primarily use interest rate derivatives to hedge our debt and our cash flows. The interest rate derivatives include interest rate caps and interest rate floors, which are subject to master netting settlement arrangements. All derivatives are recorded at fair value.

8. Fair Value Measurements
Fair Value Hierarchy—Our financial instruments measured at fair value either on a recurring or a non-recurring basis are classified in a hierarchy for disclosure purposes consisting of three levels based on the observability of inputs in the market place as discussed below:
•Level 1: Fair value measurements that are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that we have the ability to access for identical assets or liabilities. Market price data generally is obtained from exchange or dealer markets.
•Level 2: Fair value measurements based on inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.
•Level 3: Fair value measurements based on valuation techniques that use significant inputs that are unobservable. The circumstances for using these measurements include those in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability.
Fair value of interest rate caps is determined using the net present value of expected cash flows of each derivative based on the market-based interest rate curve and adjusted for credit spreads of us and our counterparties. Fair value of credit default swaps is obtained from a third party who publishes various information including the index composition and price data (Level 2 inputs). The fair value of credit default swaps does not contain credit-risk-related adjustments as the change in fair value is settled net through posting cash collateral or reclaiming cash collateral between us and our counterparty. Fair value of interest rate floors is calculated using a third-party discounted cash flow model based on future cash flows that are expected to be received over the remaining life of the floor.
When a majority of the inputs used to value our derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the derivative valuations in their entirety are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. However, when the valuation adjustments
BRAEMAR HOTELS & RESORTS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
(unaudited)
associated with our derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads, to evaluate the likelihood of default by us and our counterparties, which we consider significant (10% or more) to the overall valuation of our derivatives, the derivative valuations in their entirety are classified in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Transfers of inputs between levels are determined at the end of each reporting period. In determining the fair values of our derivatives at June 30, 2021, the LIBOR interest rate forward curve (Level 2 inputs) assumed an uptrend from 0.101% to 0.372% for the remaining term of our derivatives. Credit spreads (Level 3 inputs) used in determining the fair values derivatives assumed an uptrend in nonperformance risk for us and all of our counterparties through the maturity dates.
Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
The fair value of interest rate caps as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 was immaterial.

9. Summary of Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Determining the estimated fair values of certain financial instruments such as indebtedness requires considerable judgment to interpret market data. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts. Accordingly, the estimates presented are not necessarily indicative of the amounts at which these instruments could be purchased, sold or settled.

Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash. These financial assets have maturities of less than 90 days and most bear interest at market rates. The carrying value approximates fair value due to their short-term nature. This is considered a Level 1 valuation technique.
Accounts receivable, net, due from related parties, net, accounts payable and accrued expenses, dividends and distributions payable, due to Ashford Inc. and due to/from third-party hotel managers. The carrying values of these financial instruments approximate their fair values due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments. This is considered a Level 1 valuation technique.
Derivative assets. See notes 7 and 8 for a complete description of the methodology and assumptions utilized in determining fair values.
Indebtedness, net. Fair value of indebtedness is determined using future cash flows discounted at current replacement rates for these instruments. Cash flows are determined using a forward interest rate yield curve. The current replacement rates are determined by using the U.S. Treasury yield curve or the index to which these financial instruments are tied, and adjusted for the credit spreads. Credit spreads take into consideration general market conditions, maturity and collateral. We estimated the fair value of the total indebtedness to be approximately 77.8% to 86.0% of the carrying value of $1.1 billion at June 30, 2021, and approximately 78.3% to 86.6% of the carrying value of $1.1 billion at December 31, 2020. These fair value estimates are considered a Level 2 valuation technique.

11. Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests in Operating Partnership
Redeemable noncontrolling interests in the operating partnership represents the limited partners’ proportionate share of equity and their allocable share of equity in earnings/losses of Braemar OP, which is an allocation of net income/loss attributable to the common unitholders based on the weighted average ownership percentage of these limited partners’ common units of limited partnership interest in the operating partnership (the “common units”) and units issued under our Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “LTIP” units) that are vested. Each common unit may be redeemed, by the holder, for either cash or, at our sole discretion, up to one share of our REIT common stock, which is either: (i) issued pursuant to an effective registration statement; (ii) included in an effective registration statement providing for the resale of such common stock; or (iii) issued subject to a registration rights agreement.
LTIP units, which are issued to certain executives and employees of Ashford LLC as compensation, generally have vesting periods of three years. Additionally, certain independent members of the board of directors have elected to receive LTIP units as part of their compensation, which are fully vested upon grant. Upon reaching economic parity with common units, each vested LTIP unit can be converted by the holder into one common unit which can then be redeemed for cash or, at our election,

settled in our common stock. An LTIP unit will achieve parity with the common units upon the sale or deemed sale of all or substantially all of the assets of our operating partnership at a time when our stock is trading at a level in excess of the price it was trading on the date of the LTIP issuance. More specifically, LTIP units will achieve full economic parity with common units in connection with (i) the actual sale of all or substantially all of the assets of our operating partnership or (ii) the hypothetical sale of such assets, which results from a capital account revaluation, as defined in the partnership agreement, for our operating partnership.
The Company issued equity awards in the first quarter of 2021, a substantial majority of which were issued subject to stockholder approval of an increase in the number of shares available for issuance under the Company’s 2013 Equity Incentive Plan. Under the applicable accounting literature, these awards are not accounted for until stockholder approval is obtained. In March 2021, approximately 244,000 LTIP units with a fair value of approximately $1.7 million and a vesting period of three years were granted. Stockholder approval was obtained on May 11, 2021.
On May 11, 2021, approximately 202,000 LTIP units with a fair value of $1.4 million and a vesting period of three years were issued. Additionally, approximately 23,000 LTIP units were issued to independent directors, with a fair value of approximately $164,000, which vested immediately upon grant.
The compensation committee of the board of directors of the Company may authorize the issuance of Performance LTIP units to certain executive officers and directors from time to time. The award agreements provide for the grant of a target number of Performance LTIP units that will be settled in common units of Braemar OP, if, when and to the extent the applicable vesting criteria have been achieved following the end of the performance and service period, which is generally three years from the grant date.
With respect to the 2019 and 2020 award agreements, the number of Performance LTIP units actually earned may range from 0% to 200% of target based on achievement of a specified relative total stockholder return based on the formula determined by the Company’s compensation committee on the grant date. The performance criteria for the Performance LTIP units are based on market conditions under the relevant literature. The corresponding compensation cost is recognized ratably over the service period for the award as the service is rendered, based on the grant date fair value of the award, regardless of the actual outcome of the market condition.
With respect to the 2021 award agreements, the compensation committee shifted to a new performance metric, pursuant to which, the performance awards will be eligible to vest, from 0% to 200% of target, based on achievement of certain performance targets over the three-year performance period commencing on January 1, 2021 and ending on December 31, 2023. The performance criteria for the 2021 performance grants are based on performance conditions under the relevant literature. The corresponding compensation cost is recognized ratably over the service period for the award as the service is rendered, based on the grant date fair value of the award. The grant date fair value of the award may vary from period to period, as the number of performance grants earned may vary since the estimated probable achievement of certain performance targets may vary from period to period. On May 11, 2021, approximately 840,000 Performance LTIP units with a fair value of approximately $5.7 million and a vesting period of three years were granted.
As of June 30, 2021, we have issued a total of approximately 2.4 million LTIP units (including Performance LTIP units), net of cancellations, all of which, other than approximately 572,000 LTIP units and 900,000 Performance LTIP units issued from March 2015 to May 2021, had reached full economic parity with, and are convertible into, common units.

12. Equity and Stock-Based Compensation
Common Stock Dividends—The board of directors did not declare a quarterly common stock dividend for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020.
Restricted Stock Units—We incur stock-based compensation expense in connection with restricted stock units awarded to certain employees of Ashford LLC and its affiliates. We also issue common stock to certain of our independent directors, which vests immediately upon issuance.
The Company issued equity awards in the first quarter of 2021, a substantial majority of which were issued subject to stockholder approval of an increase in the number of shares available for issuance under the Company’s 2013 Equity Incentive Plan. Under the applicable accounting literature, these awards are not accounted for until stockholder approval is obtained. In March 2021, approximately 504,000 restricted stock units with a fair value of approximately $3.5 million and a vesting period of three years were granted. Stockholder approval was obtained on May 11, 2021.
On May 11, 2021, approximately 215,000 restricted stock units with a fair value of approximately $1.5 million and a vesting period of three years were granted. Additionally, approximately 46,000 shares of common stock were issued to independent directors, with a fair value of approximately $322,000, which vested immediately upon grant.
Performance Stock Units—The compensation committee of the board of directors of the Company may authorize the issuance of grants of performance stock units (“PSUs”) to certain executive officers and directors from time to time. The award agreements provide for the grant of a target number of PSUs that will be settled in shares of common stock of the Company, if, when and to the extent the applicable vesting criteria have been achieved following the end of the performance and service period, which is generally three years from the grant date.
With respect to the 2019 and 2020 award agreements, the number of PSUs actually earned may range from 0% to 200% of target based on achievement of a specified relative total stockholder return based on the formula determined by the Company’s compensation committee on the grant date. The performance criteria for the PSUs are based on market conditions under the relevant literature. The corresponding compensation cost is recognized ratably over the service period for the award as the service is rendered, based on the grant date fair value of the award, regardless of the actual outcome of the market condition.
The Company issued equity awards in the first quarter of 2021, a substantial majority of which were issued subject to stockholder approval of an increase in the number of shares available for issuance under the Company’s Amended and Restated 2011 Stock Incentive Plan. Under the applicable accounting literature, these awards are not accounted for until shareholder approval is obtained. Stockholder approval was obtained on May 11, 2021.
With respect to the 2021 award agreements, the compensation committee shifted to a new performance metric, pursuant to which, the performance awards will be eligible to vest, from 0% to 200% of target, based on achievement of certain performance targets over the three-year performance period commencing on January 1, 2021 and ending on December 31, 2023. The performance criteria for the 2021 performance grants are based on performance conditions under the relevant literature, and the 2021 performance grants were issued to non-employees. The corresponding compensation cost is recognized ratably over the service period for the award as the service is rendered, based on the grant date fair value of the award, which may vary from period to period, as the number of performance grants earned may vary since the estimated probable achievement of certain performance targets may vary from period to period.

Standby Equity Distribution Agreement—On February 4, 2021, the Company entered into a Standby Equity Distribution Agreement (the “SEDA”) with YA II PN, Ltd. (“YA”), pursuant to which the Company will be able to sell up to 7,780,786 shares of its common stock (the “Commitment Amount”) at the Company’s request any time during the commitment period commencing on February 4, 2021, and terminating on the earliest of (i) the first day of the month next following the 36-month anniversary of the SEDA or (ii) the date on which YA shall have made payment of Advances (as defined in the SEDA) pursuant to the SEDA for shares of the Company’s common stock equal to the Commitment Amount (the “Commitment Period”). Other than with respect to the Initial Advance (as defined below) the shares sold to YA pursuant to the SEDA would be purchased at 95% of the Market Price (as defined below) and would be subject to certain limitations, including that YA could not purchase any shares that would result in it owning more than 4.99% of the Company’s common stock. “Market Price” shall mean the lowest daily VWAP (as defined below) of the Company’s common stock during the five consecutive trading days commencing on the trading day following the date the Company submits an advance notice to YA. “VWAP” means, for any trading day, the daily volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock for such date on the principal market as reported by Bloomberg L.P. during regular trading hours.
At any time during the Commitment Period the Company may require YA to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock by delivering a written notice to YA setting forth the Advance Shares (as defined in the SEDA) that the Company desires to issue and sell to YA (the “Advance Notice”). The Company may deliver an Advance Notice for an initial Advance for up to 1,200,000 Advance Shares (the “Initial Advance”). The preliminary purchase price per share for such shares shall be 100% of the average daily VWAP for the five consecutive trading days immediately prior to the date of the Advance Notice (the “Preliminary Purchase Price”).
Pursuant to the SEDA, we currently intend to use the net proceeds from any sale of the shares for working capital purposes, including the repayment of outstanding debt. There are no other restrictions on future financing transactions. The SEDA does not contain any right of first refusal, participation rights, penalties or liquidated damages. We are not required to pay any additional amounts to reimburse or otherwise compensate YA in connection with the transaction except for a $10,000 structuring fee.

Ashford Inc.
Advisory Agreement
Ashford LLC, a subsidiary of Ashford Inc., acts as our advisor. Our chairman Mr. Monty Bennett, also serves as chairman of the board of directors and chief executive officer of Ashford Inc. Under our advisory agreement, we pay advisory fees to Ashford LLC. We pay a monthly base fee equal to 1/12th of the sum of (i) 0.70% of the total market capitalization of our company for the prior month, plus (ii) the Net Asset Fee Adjustment (as defined in our advisory agreement), if any, on the last day of the prior month during which our advisory agreement was in effect; provided, however in no event shall the base fee for any month be less than the minimum base fee as provided by our advisory agreement. The base fee is payable on the 5th business day of each month.
The minimum base fee for Braemar for each month will be equal to the greater of:
▪90% of the base fee paid for the same month in the prior year; and
▪1/12th of the G&A Ratio (as defined) multiplied by the total market capitalization of Braemar.
We are also required to pay Ashford LLC an incentive fee that is measured annually (or for a stub period if the advisory agreement is terminated at other than year-end). Each year that our annual total stockholder return exceeds the average annual total stockholder return for our peer group we pay Ashford LLC an incentive fee over the following three years, subject to the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (“FCCR”) Condition, as defined in the advisory agreement, which relates to the ratio of adjusted EBITDA to fixed charges. We also reimburse Ashford LLC for certain reimbursable overhead and internal audit, risk management advisory and asset management services, as specified in the advisory agreement. We also recorded equity-based compensation expense for equity grants of common stock and LTIP units awarded to officers and employees of Ashford LLC in connection with providing advisory services.

management department collects funds from Braemar, Ashford Trust and their respective hotel management companies, to fund the casualty insurance program as needed, on an allocated basis.
Lismore
On March 20, 2020, the Company entered into an agreement with Lismore, a subsidiary of Ashford Inc., to engage Lismore to seek modifications, forbearances or refinancings of the Company’s loans (the “Lismore Agreement”). The Lismore Agreement was terminated effective March 20, 2021.
Upon entering into the agreement with Lismore, the Company made an initial payment of approximately $1.4 million. The Company paid approximately $1.4 million related to periodic installments of which $683,000 was expensed in accordance with the agreement. The remaining $681,000 was set off against the cash payment of the base advisory fee per the agreement upon contract termination in March 2021. Further, the Company paid approximately $1.4 million in success fees in connection with signed forbearance or other agreements. In total the Company paid approximately $4.1 million under the Lismore Agreement.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company recognized expense of $0 and $341,000, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company recognized expense of $1.6 million. These expenses are included in “write-off of loan costs and exit fees” in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Ashford Securities
On September 25, 2019, Ashford Inc. announced the formation of Ashford Securities LLC (“Ashford Securities”) to raise retail capital in order to grow its existing and future platforms. In conjunction with the formation of Ashford Securities, Braemar has entered into a contribution agreement (the “Initial Contribution Agreement”) with Ashford Inc. pursuant to which Braemar has agreed to contribute, with Ashford Trust, up to $15.0 million to fund the operations of Ashford Securities. Costs for all operating expenses of Ashford Securities that were contributed by Ashford Trust and Braemar will be expensed as incurred. These costs were allocated initially to Ashford Trust and Braemar based on an allocation percentage of 75% to Ashford Trust and 25% Braemar. Upon reaching the earlier of $400 million in aggregate non-listed preferred equity offerings raised or June 10, 2023, there will be a true up (the “Initial True-up Date”) between Ashford Trust and Braemar, whereby the actual capital contributions contributed by each company will be based on the actual amount of capital raised by Ashford Trust and Braemar, respectively. After the Initial True-Up Date, the capital contributions will be allocated between Ashford Trust and Braemar quarterly based on the actual capital raised through Ashford Securities.
On December 31, 2020, an Amended and Restated Contribution Agreement (the “Amended and Restated Contribution Agreement”) was entered into by Ashford Inc., Ashford Trust and Braemar with respect to expenses to be reimbursed by Ashford Securities. The Initial True-Up Date did not occur, and beginning on the effective date of the Amended and Restated Contribution Agreement, costs will be allocated based upon an allocation percentage of 50% to Ashford Inc., 50% to Braemar and 0% to Ashford Trust. Upon reaching the earlier of $400 million in aggregate non-listed preferred equity offerings raised, or June 10, 2023, there will be an Amended and Restated true up (the “Amended and Restated True-up Date”) among Ashford Inc., Ashford Trust and Braemar whereby the actual expense reimbursement paid by each company will be based on the actual amount of capital raised by Ashford Inc., Ashford Trust and Braemar, respectively. After the Amended and Restated True-Up Date, the expense reimbursements will be allocated among Ashford Inc., Ashford Trust and Braemar quarterly based on the actual capital raised through Ashford Securities. Additionally, Braemar’s aggregate Capital Contributions under the Initial Contribution Agreement and the Amended and Restated Contribution Agreement shall not exceed $3.75 million unless otherwise agreed to in writing by Braemar.
As of June 30, 2021, Braemar has funded approximately $1.9 million. Additionally, as of June 30, 2021, the Company has a payable of $17,000, included in “due to Ashford Inc.” on our condensed consolidated balance sheet that represents unfunded reimbursable expenses.

Enhanced Return Funding Program
Concurrent with Amendment No. 1 to the Fifth Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement with Ashford Inc. ( “Amendment No. 1”), on January 15, 2019, the Company also entered into the Enhanced Return Funding Program Agreement (the “ERFP Agreement”) with Ashford Inc. The “key money investments” concept previously contemplated by our advisory agreement was replaced with the ERFP Agreement. The Fifth Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement was also amended to name Ashford Inc. and its subsidiaries as the Company’s sole and exclusive provider of asset management, design and construction and other services offered by Ashford Inc. or any of its subsidiaries. The independent members of our board of directors and the independent members of the board of directors of Ashford Inc., with the assistance of separate and independent legal counsel, engaged to negotiate the ERFP Agreement on behalf of Ashford Inc. and Braemar, respectively.
The ERFP Agreement generally provides that Ashford LLC will provide funding to facilitate the acquisition of properties by Braemar OP that are recommended by Ashford LLC, in an aggregate amount of up to $50 million (subject to increase to up to $100 million by mutual agreement). Each funding will equal 10% of the property acquisition price and will be made either at the time of the property acquisition or at any time generally within the two-year period following the date of such acquisition, in exchange for FF&E for use at the acquired property or any other property owned by Braemar OP.
The initial term of the ERFP Agreement was two years (the “Initial Term”). At the end of the Initial Term, the ERFP Agreement automatically renewed for one year and shall automatically renew for successive one-year periods (each such period a “Renewal Term”) unless either Ashford Inc. or Braemar provides written notice to the other at least sixty days in advance of the expiration of the Initial Term or Renewal Term, as applicable, that such notifying party intends not to renew the ERFP Agreement.
During the second quarter of 2021, the Company sold approximately $1.6 million of hotel FF&E from Braemar hotel properties to Ashford LLC which was subsequently leased back to the Company rent-free. In accordance with ASC 842, the Company evaluated the transactions and concluded that the transactions qualified as sales. As a result, the Company recorded an aggregate gain of $197,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021. The gains are recorded in “gain (loss) on insurance settlement, disposition of assets and sale of hotel properties” in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.
In the second quarter of 2021, upon expiration of an ERFP lease, the Company purchased the underlying FF&E from Ashford Inc. for $144,000. As of June 30, 2021, the Company has recorded a payable of $144,000 included in "due to Ashford Inc." on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.
Design and Construction Services
In connection with Ashford Inc.’s August 8, 2018 acquisition of Remington Lodging’s design and construction business, we entered into a design and construction services agreement with Ashford Inc.’s subsidiary, Premier Project Management LLC (“Premier”), pursuant to which Premier provides design and construction services to our hotels, including construction management, interior design, architectural services, and the purchasing, freight management, and supervision of installation of FF&E and related services. Pursuant to the design and construction services agreement, we pay Premier: (a) design and construction fees of up to 4% of project costs; and (b) for the following services: (i) architectural (6.5% of total construction costs); (ii) construction management for projects without a general contractor (10% of total construction costs); (iii) interior design (6% of the purchase price of the FF&E designed or selected by Premier); and (iv) FF&E purchasing (8% of the purchase price of FF&E purchased by Premier; provided that if the purchase price exceeds $2.0 million for a single hotel in a calendar year, then the purchasing fee is reduced to 6% of the FF&E purchase price in excess of $2.0 million for such hotel in such calendar year). On March 20, 2020, we amended the design and construction services agreement to provide that Premier’s fees shall be paid by the Company to Premier upon the completion of any work provided by third party vendors to the Company.
Hotel Management Services
On November 6, 2019, Ashford Inc. completed the acquisition of Remington Lodging’s hotel management business. Following the acquisition, hotel management services are provided by Remington Hotels, a subsidiary of Ashford Inc., under the respective hotel management agreement with each customer, including Ashford Trust and Braemar.
At June 30, 2021, Remington Hotels managed three of our thirteen hotel properties.
We pay monthly hotel management fees equal to the greater of approximately $14,000 per hotel (increased annually based on consumer price index adjustments) or 3% of gross revenues as well as annual incentive management fees, if certain
BRAEMAR HOTELS & RESORTS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

(unaudited)
operational criteria were met and other general and administrative expense reimbursements primarily related to accounting services.
Pursuant to the terms of the Letter Agreement dated March 13, 2020 (the “Hotel Management Letter Agreement”), in order to allow Remington Hotels to better manage its corporate working capital and to ensure the continued efficient operation of our hotels, we agreed to pay the base fee and to reimburse all expenses on a weekly basis for the preceding week, rather than on a monthly basis. The Hotel Management Letter Agreement went into effect on March 13, 2020 and will continue until terminated by us.
We also have a mutual exclusivity agreement with Remington Hotels, pursuant to which: (i) we have agreed to engage Remington Hotels to provide management services with respect to any hotel we acquire or invest in, to the extent we have the right and/or control the right to direct the management of such hotel; and (ii) Remington Hotels has agreed to grant us a right of first refusal to purchase any opportunity to develop or construct a hotel that it identifies that meets our initial investment guidelines. We are not, however, obligated to engage Remington Hotels if our independent directors either: (i) unanimously vote to hire a different manager or developer; or (ii) by a majority vote elect not to engage such related party because either special circumstances exist such that it would be in the best interest of our Company not to engage such related party, or, based on related party’s prior performance, it is believed that another manager could perform the management or other duties materially better.
Ashford Trust
As of June 30, 2021, the Company has an $800,000 receivable from Ashford Trust, included in Due from related parties, net. The receivable relates to a legal settlement between Ashford Trust and the City of San Francisco regarding a transfer tax matter associated with the transfer of The Clancy from Ashford Trust to Braemar upon Braemar’s 2013 spin-off from Ashford Trust. The transfer taxes were initially paid by Braemar at the time of the spin-off. The $800,000 gain is included in “(gain) loss on legal settlements” on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
15. Commitments and Contingencies
Restricted Cash—Under certain management and debt agreements for our hotel properties existing at June 30, 2021, escrow payments are required for insurance, real estate taxes and debt service. In addition, for certain properties based on the terms of the underlying debt and management agreements, we escrow 4% to 5% of gross revenues for capital improvements.
Management Fees—Under hotel management agreements for our hotel properties existing at June 30, 2021, we pay a monthly hotel management fee equal to the greater of approximately $14,000 per hotel (increased annually based on consumer price index adjustments) or 3% of gross revenues, or in some cases 2.5% to 5.0% of gross revenues, as well as annual incentive management fees, if applicable. These management agreements expire from December 2023 through December 2065, with renewal options. If we terminate a management agreement prior to its expiration, we may be liable for estimated management fees through the remaining term, liquidated damages or, in certain circumstances, we may substitute a new management agreement.
Income Taxes—We and our subsidiaries file income tax returns in the federal jurisdiction and various states. Tax years 2017 through 2020 remain subject to potential examination by certain federal and state taxing authorities.
Litigation—On October 24, 2019, the Company provided notice to Accor of the material breach of Accor’s responsibilities under the Accor management agreement for the Sofitel Chicago Magnificent Mile at 20 East Chestnut Street in Chicago, Illinois. On November 7, 2019, Accor filed a complaint against Ashford TRS Chicago II in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County, seeking a declaratory judgment that no breach has occurred. Accor’s complaint was dismissed on or about February 27, 2020. On January 6, 2020, Ashford TRS Chicago II filed a complaint against Accor in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County, alleging breach of the Accor management agreement and seeking declaration of its right to terminate the Accor management agreement. On July 20, 2020, Accor filed an Amended Answer and Counterclaims against Ashford TRS Chicago II. Accor asserts two causes of action: First, Accor asserts a counterclaim for declaratory judgment that Accor correctly calculated the amount payable to Ashford TRS Chicago II under the management agreement to “cure” Accor’s performance test failure (the “Cure Amount”). Second, Accor asserts a counterclaim for breach of contract on the basis that Ashford TRS Chicago II breached the management agreement by wrongfully maintaining that the Cure Amount for the 2018 and 2019 Performance Test failure is $1,031,549 instead of $535,120. As of June 30, 2021, no amounts have been accrued.

One of the Company’s hotel management companies is currently involved in litigation regarding its employment policies and practices at multiple California hotels, including one of the Company’s hotels. The Company believes it is probable that the litigation will result in a loss due to a potential pre-trial settlement, in which case the Company estimates its potential loss will be approximately $500,000; however, it is entitled to indemnification for a portion of such loss. As of June 30, 2021, approximately $500,000 has been accrued.
In June 2020, each of the Company, Ashford Trust, Ashford Inc., and Lismore, a subsidiary of Ashford Inc. (collectively with the Company, Ashford Trust, Ashford Inc. and Lismore, the “Ashford Companies”), received an administrative subpoena from the SEC. The Company’s administrative subpoena requires the production of documents and other information since January 1, 2018 relating to, among other things, (1) related party transactions among the Ashford Companies (including the Lismore Agreement between the Company and Lismore pursuant to which the Company engaged Lismore to negotiate the refinancing, modification or forbearance of certain mortgage debt) or between any of the Ashford Companies and any officer, director or owner of the Ashford Companies or any entity controlled by any such person, and (2) the Company’s accounting policies, procedures, and internal controls related to such related party transactions. In addition, in October 2020, Mr. Monty J. Bennett, chairman of our board of directors, received an administrative subpoena from the SEC requiring testimony and the production of documents and other information substantially similar to the requests in the subpoenas received by the Ashford Companies. The Company and Mr. Monty J. Bennett are responding to the administrative subpoenas.
On December 20, 2016, a class action lawsuit was filed against one of the Company’s hotel management companies in the Superior Court of the State of California in and for the County of Contra Costa alleging violations of certain California employment laws, which class action affects two hotels owned by subsidiaries of the Company. The court has entered an order granting class certification with respect to: (1) a statewide class of non-exempt employees of our manager who were allegedly deprived of rest breaks as a result of our manager’s previous written policy requiring its employees to stay on premises during rest breaks; and (2) a derivative class of non-exempt former employees of our manager who were not paid for allegedly missed breaks upon separation from employment. Notices to potential class members were sent out on February 2, 2021. Potential class members had until April 4, 2021 to opt out of the class, however, the total number of employees in the class has not been definitively determined and is the subject of continuing discovery. While we believe it is reasonably possible that we may incur a loss associated with this litigation, because there remains uncertainty under California law with respect to a significant legal issue, discovery relating to class members continues, and the trial judge retains discretion to award lower penalties than set forth in the applicable California employment laws, we do not believe any potential loss to the Company is reasonably estimable at this time. As of June 30, 2021, no amounts have been accrued.
We are also engaged in other legal proceedings that have arisen but have not been fully adjudicated. To the extent the claims giving rise to these legal proceedings are not covered by insurance, they relate to the following general types of claims: employment matters, tax matters and matters relating to compliance with applicable law (for example, the ADA and similar state laws). The likelihood of loss from these legal proceedings is based on the definitions within contingency accounting literature. We recognize a loss when we believe the loss is both probable and reasonably estimable. Based on the information available to us relating to these legal proceedings and/or our experience in similar legal proceedings, we do not believe the ultimate resolution of these proceedings, either individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flow. However, our assessment may change depending upon the development of these legal proceedings, and the final results of these legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty. If we do not prevail in one or more of these legal matters, and the associated realized losses exceed our current estimates of the range of potential losses, our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows could be materially adversely affected in future periods.
16. Segment Reporting
We operate in one business segment within the hotel lodging industry: direct hotel investments. Direct hotel investments refers to owning hotel properties through either acquisition or new development. We report operating results of direct hotel investments on an aggregate basis as substantially all of our hotel investments have similar economic characteristics and exhibit similar long-term financial performance. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, all of our hotel properties were in the U.S. and its territories.
17. Subsequent Events
On July 12, 2021, the Company entered into a second equity distribution agreement with Virtu to sell from time to time shares of our common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $100 million (the “Virtu July 2021 EDA”). We will pay Virtu a commission of approximately 1.0% of the gross sales price of the shares of our common stock sold. The Company may
BRAEMAR HOTELS & RESORTS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
(unaudited)
also sell some or all of the shares of our common stock to Virtu as principal for its own account at a price agreed upon at the time of sale. As of August 4, 2021, the Company has not sold any shares of common stock under the Virtu July 2021 EDA.
On July 12, 2021, the Company made an additional investment in OpenKey of approximately $117,000.
Subsequent to June 30, 2021, the Company has sold approximately 86,000 shares of Series E Preferred Stock and received net proceeds of approximately $1.9 million.
On August 5, 2021, the Company acquired a 100% interest in the 138-room Mr. C Beverly Hills Hotel and five luxury condominium residences adjacent to the hotel for total consideration of approximately $74 million, subject to adjustments. The consideration consisted of $10 million of cash, 2.5 million Braemar OP common units, 500,000 warrants for the purchase of Braemar common stock with a $6.00 strike price and the assumption of a $50 million mortgage loan. Upon closing, the Company repaid $20 million of the assumed mortgage loan. As a result of the recent date of the transaction, it is impractical to provide the pro forma results of operations that include the impact of the acquisition.

When considering forward-looking statements, you should keep in mind the matters summarized under “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in Part I of our 2020 10-K and this Form 10-Q, and the discussion in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, could cause our actual results and performance to differ significantly from those contained in our forward-looking statements. Additionally, many of these risks and uncertainties are currently amplified by and will continue to be amplified by, or in the future may be amplified by, the COVID-19 outbreak and the numerous government travel restrictions imposed in response thereto. The extent to which COVID-19 impacts us will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, including the scope, severity and duration of the pandemic, the actions taken to contain the pandemic or mitigate its impact, and the direct and indirect economic effects of the pandemic and containment measures, among others. Accordingly, we cannot guarantee future results or performance. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any of these forward-looking statements, which reflect our views as of the date of this Form 10-Q. Furthermore, we do not intend to update any of our forward-looking statements after the date of this Form 10-Q to conform these statements to actual results and performance, except as may be required by applicable law.
Overview
We are a Maryland corporation formed in April 2013 that invests primarily in high revenue per available room (“RevPAR”), luxury hotels and resorts. High RevPAR, for purposes of our investment strategy, means RevPAR of at least twice the then-current U.S. national average RevPAR for all hotels as determined by Smith Travel Research. Two times the U.S. national average was $91 for the year ended December 31, 2020. We have elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Code. We conduct our business and own substantially all of our assets through our operating partnership, Braemar OP.
We operate in the direct hotel investment segment of the hotel lodging industry. As of June 30, 2021, we owned interests in thirteen hotel properties in six states, the District of Columbia and St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands with 3,722 total rooms, or 3,487 net rooms, excluding those attributable to our joint venture partner. The hotel properties in our current portfolio are predominantly located in U.S. urban markets and resort locations with favorable growth characteristics resulting from multiple demand generators. We own eleven of our hotel properties directly, and the remaining two hotel properties through an investment in a majority-owned consolidated entity.
We are advised by Ashford LLC, a subsidiary of Ashford Inc., through an advisory agreement. All of the hotel properties in our portfolio are currently asset-managed by Ashford LLC. We do not have any employees. All of the services that might be provided by employees are provided to us by Ashford LLC.
We do not operate any of our hotel properties directly; instead we employ hotel management companies to operate them for us under management contracts. As of June 30, 2021, Remington Hotels, a subsidiary of Ashford Inc., managed three of our thirteen hotel properties. Third-party management companies managed the remaining hotel properties.
Ashford Inc. also provides other products and services to us or our hotel properties through certain entities in which Ashford Inc. has an ownership interest. These products and services include, but are not limited to design and construction services, debt placement and related services, broker-dealer and distribution services, audio visual services, real estate advisory services, insurance claims services, hypoallergenic premium rooms, watersport activities, travel/transportation services and mobile key technology.
Mr. Monty J. Bennett is chairman and chief executive officer of Ashford Inc. and, together with Mr. Archie Bennett, Jr., as of June 30, 2021, owned approximately 608,578 shares of Ashford Inc. common stock, which represented an approximate 20.1% ownership interest in Ashford Inc., and owned 18,758,600 shares of Ashford Inc. Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, which was exercisable (at an exercise price of $117.50 per share) into an additional approximate 3,991,191 shares of Ashford Inc. common stock, which if exercised as of June 30, 2021 would have increased the Bennetts’ ownership interest in Ashford Inc. to 65.6%, provided that prior to August 8, 2023, the voting power of the holders of the Ashford Inc. Series D Convertible Preferred Stock is limited to 40% of the combined voting power of all of the outstanding voting securities of the Ashford Inc. entitled to vote on any given matter. The 18,758,600 shares of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock owned by Mr. Monty J. Bennett and Mr. Archie Bennett, Jr. include 360,000 shares owned by trusts.
As of June 30, 2021, Mr. Monty J. Bennett, chairman of our board of directors and his father, Mr. Archie Bennett, Jr., together owned approximately 4,234,775 shares of our common stock (including common units, long-term incentive plan (“LTIP”) units and performance LTIP units), which represented an approximate 6.7% ownership in the Company.
COVID-19, Management’s Plans and Liquidity
In December 2019, COVID-19 was identified in Wuhan, China, subsequently spread to other regions of the world, and has resulted in significant travel restrictions and extended shutdown of numerous businesses throughout the United States. In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 to be a global pandemic. Beginning in late February 2020, we experienced a significant decline in occupancy and RevPAR associated with COVID-19 as we experienced significant reservation cancellations as well as a significant reduction in new reservations. The prolonged presence of the virus has resulted in health and other government authorities imposing widespread restrictions on travel and other businesses.
The Company has taken proactive and aggressive actions to protect liquidity and reduce corporate expenses. The Company has also significantly reduced its planned spending for capital expenditures for fiscal year 2021 to approximately $20 million to $30 million and suspended its common stock dividends.
When preparing financial statements for each annual and interim reporting period management has the responsibility to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that create substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. In applying the accounting guidance, the Company considers its current financial condition and liquidity sources, including current funds available, forecasted future cash flows and its unconditional obligations due over the next 12 months.
As of June 30, 2021, the Company maintained unrestricted cash of $157.7 million and restricted cash of $57.4 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, cash flows provided by operating activities was approximately $31.5 million. The vast majority of the restricted cash is comprised of lender and manager held reserves. The Company worked with its property managers and lenders in order to utilize lender and manager held reserves to fund operating shortfalls. At the end of the quarter, there was also $21.5 million due to the Company from third-party hotel managers, which is primarily the Company’s cash held by one of its property managers which is also available to fund hotel operating costs. On December 10, 2020, the Company announced that it plans to continue its suspension of the common stock dividend into 2021 to protect liquidity and will evaluate future dividend declarations on a quarterly basis going forward.
We cannot predict when hotel operating levels will return to normalized levels after the effects of the pandemic fully subside, whether our hotels will be forced to shut down operations or whether one or more possible recurrences of COVID-19 case surges could result in further reductions in business and personal travel or potentially cause state and local governments to reinstate travel restrictions. As a result of these factors resulting from the impact of the pandemic, we are unable to estimate future financial performance with certainty. However, based on our completed Convertible Senior Notes transaction (as
described below), the corresponding repayment of our secured term loan, which eliminated financial covenants associated with it, our current unrestricted and restricted cash on hand, our current cash utilization and forecast of future operating results for the next 12 months from the date of this report, and the actions we have taken to improve our liquidity, the Company has concluded that the facts and circumstances that previously gave rise to substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued have been resolved. Facts and circumstances could change in the future that are outside of management’s control, such as additional government mandates, health official orders, travel restrictions and extended business shutdowns due to COVID-19.
Recent Developments
On April 21, 2021, Braemar and Lincoln Park, entered into a purchase agreement, pursuant to which the Company may sell to Lincoln Park up to 8,893,565 shares of its common stock, from time to time during the term of the purchase agreement. The issuance of the shares of common stock pursuant to the purchase agreement has been registered pursuant to the Company’s Registration Statement, and the related base prospectus included in the Registration Statement, as supplemented by a prospectus supplement filed with the SEC on April 21, 2021. Braemar and Lincoln Park also entered into a registration rights agreement, pursuant to which the Company agreed to maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement. As of August 4, 2021, the Company has issued approximately 766,000 shares of common stock for gross proceeds of approximately $4.2 million under the purchase agreement.
In May 2021, the Company issued $86.25 million aggregate principal amount of 4.50% Convertible Senior Notes due June 2026 (the "Convertible Senior Notes"). The net proceeds from this offering of the Convertible Senior Notes were approximately $82.8 million after deducting the underwriting fees and other expenses paid by the Company.
The Convertible Senior Notes are governed by an indenture (the “Base Indenture”) between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee. The Convertible Senior Notes bear interest at a rate of 4.50% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year, beginning on December 1, 2021. The Convertible Senior Notes will mature on June 1, 2026. A portion of the proceeds were used to fully repay the secured term loan.
On May 25, 2021, the Company entered into an equity distribution agreement with Virtu Americas LLC (“Virtu”), to sell from time to time shares of our common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $50 million (the “Virtu May 2021 EDA”). We will pay Virtu a commission of approximately 1.0% of the gross sales price of the shares of our common stock sold. The Company may also sell some or all of the shares of our common stock to Virtu as principal for its own account at a price agreed upon at the time of sale. As of August 4, 2021, the Company has sold approximately 8.1 million shares of common stock under the Virtu May 2021 EDA and received gross proceeds of approximately $48.6 million.
During the second quarter of 2021, we recognized a gain of $800,000 related to the settlement of a transfer tax matter with the City of San Francisco.
On July 12, 2021, the Company entered into a second equity distribution agreement with Virtu to sell from time to time shares of our common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $100 million (the “Virtu July 2021 EDA”). We will pay Virtu a commission of approximately 1.0% of the gross sales price of the shares of our common stock sold. The Company may also sell some or all of the shares of our common stock to Virtu as principal for its own account at a price agreed upon at the time of sale. As of August 4, 2021, the Company has not sold any shares of common stock under the Virtu July 2021 EDA.
On July 12, 2021, the Company made an additional investment in OpenKey of approximately $117,000.
Subsequent to June 30, 2021, the Company has sold approximately 86,000 shares of Series E Preferred Stock and received net proceeds of approximately $1.9 million.
On August 5, 2021, the Company acquired a 100% interest in the 138-room Mr. C Beverly Hills Hotel and five luxury condominium residences adjacent to the hotel for total consideration of approximately $74 million, subject to adjustments. The consideration consisted of $10 million of cash, 2.5 million Braemar OP common units, 500,000 warrants for the purchase of Braemar common stock with a $6.00 strike price and the assumption of a $50 million mortgage loan. Upon closing, the Company repaid $20 million of the assumed mortgage loan.
Key Indicators of Operating Performance
We use a variety of operating and other information to evaluate the operating performance of our business. These key indicators include financial information that is prepared in accordance with GAAP as well as other financial measures that are non-GAAP measures. In addition, we use other information that may not be financial in nature, including statistical information and comparative data. We use this information to measure the operating performance of our individual hotels, groups of hotels and/or business as a whole. We also use these metrics to evaluate the hotels in our portfolio and potential acquisitions to
determine each hotel’s contribution to cash flow and its potential to provide attractive long-term total returns. These key indicators include:
•Occupancy. Occupancy means the total number of hotel rooms sold in a given period divided by the total number of rooms available. Occupancy measures the utilization of our hotels’ available capacity. We use occupancy to measure demand at a specific hotel or group of hotels in a given period.
•ADR. ADR means average daily rate and is calculated by dividing total hotel rooms revenues by total number of rooms sold in a given period. ADR measures average room price attained by a hotel and ADR trends provide useful information concerning the pricing environment and the nature of the customer base of a hotel or group of hotels. We use ADR to assess the pricing levels that we are able to generate.
•RevPAR. RevPAR means revenue per available room and is calculated by multiplying ADR by the average daily occupancy. RevPAR is one of the commonly used measures within the hotel industry to evaluate hotel operations. RevPAR does not include revenues from food and beverage sales or parking, telephone or other non-rooms revenues generated by the property. Although RevPAR does not include these ancillary revenues, it is generally considered the leading indicator of core revenues for many hotels. We also use RevPAR to compare the results of our hotels between periods and to analyze results of our comparable hotels (comparable hotels represent hotels we have owned for the entire period). RevPAR improvements attributable to increases in occupancy are generally accompanied by increases in most categories of variable operating costs. RevPAR improvements attributable to increases in ADR are generally accompanied by increases in limited categories of operating costs, such as management fees and franchise fees.
RevPAR changes that are primarily driven by changes in occupancy have different implications for overall revenues and profitability than changes that are driven primarily by changes in ADR. For example, an increase in occupancy at a hotel would lead to additional variable operating costs (including housekeeping services, utilities and room supplies) and could also result in increased other operating department revenue and expense. Changes in ADR typically have a greater impact on operating margins and profitability as they do not have a substantial effect on variable operating costs.
Occupancy, ADR and RevPAR are commonly used measures within the lodging industry to evaluate operating performance. RevPAR is an important statistic for monitoring operating performance at the individual hotel level and across our entire business. We evaluate individual hotel RevPAR performance on an absolute basis with comparisons to budget and prior periods, as well as on a regional and company-wide basis. ADR and RevPAR include only rooms revenue. Rooms revenue is dictated by demand (as measured by occupancy), pricing (as measured by ADR) and our available supply of hotel rooms.
We also use funds from operations (“FFO”), Adjusted FFO, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization for real estate (“EBITDAre”) and Adjusted EBITDAre as measures of the operating performance of our business. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”

Net Income (Loss) Attributable to the Company. Net loss attributable to the Company decreased $38.7 million, from $47.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 (the “2020 quarter”) to $9.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 (the “2021 quarter”), as a result of the factors discussed below.
Rooms Revenue. Rooms revenue increased $57.3 million, or 877.1%, to $63.8 million during the 2021 quarter compared to the 2020 quarter. During the 2021 quarter, we experienced a 4,237 basis point increase in occupancy and a 35.2% increase in room rates. The increase in rooms revenue is due to the hotel properties recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic.
Fluctuations in rooms revenue is a result of the changes in occupancy and ADR as reflected in the table below (dollars in thousands):

_______________
(1) The hotel was closed the entire 2020 quarter.
(2) The hotel was being renovated through September 30, 2020.
Food and Beverage Revenue. Food and beverage revenue increased $17.8 million, or 855.8%, to $19.9 million during the 2021 quarter compared to the 2020 quarter. This increase is attributable to increases at all hotel properties as they are recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic.
Other Hotel Revenue. Other hotel revenue, which consists mainly of condo management fees, health center fees, resort fees, golf, telecommunications, parking and rentals and business interruption revenue, increased $9.1 million, or 213.2%, to $13.4 million during the 2021 quarter compared to the 2020 quarter. The increase is attributable to an aggregate increase in other hotel revenue of $9.7 million at twelve hotel properties, partially offset by a decrease of $126,000 at Capital Hilton and lower business interruption revenue of $390,000.
During the 2020 quarter, we recognized business interruption revenue of $390,000 at The Ritz-Carlton St. Thomas as a result of Hurricane Irma. There was no business interruption revenue during the 2021 quarter as the insurance claim was fully settled in 2020.
Rooms Expense. Rooms expense increased $10.0 million, or 291.3%, to $13.5 million in the 2021 quarter compared to the 2020 quarter. This increase is attributable to increases at all hotel properties as they are recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic.
Food and Beverage Expense. Food and beverage expense increased $12.7 million, or 347.3%, to $16.3 million during the 2021 quarter compared to the 2020 quarter. This increase is attributable to an aggregate increase of $12.9 million at all but two hotel properties. The increase was partially offset by an aggregate decrease in food and beverage expense of $177,000 at Capital Hilton and The Notary Hotel.
Other Operating Expenses. Other operating expenses increased $20.5 million, or 157.9%, to $33.5 million in the 2021 quarter compared to the 2020 quarter. Hotel operating expenses consist of direct expenses from departments associated with revenue streams and indirect expenses associated with support departments and incentive management fees.
We experienced an increase of $3.9 million in direct expenses and $16.6 million in indirect expenses and incentive management fees in the 2021 quarter as compared to the 2020 quarter as the hotel properties are recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic. Direct expenses were 5.3% of total hotel revenue in the 2021 quarter and 10.3% in the 2020 quarter. The increase in direct expenses is attributable to higher occupancy levels at our hotel properties as they are recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic.
The increase in indirect expenses is comprised of increases in (i) general and administrative costs of $6.3 million; (ii) marketing costs of $3.2 million; (iii) repairs and maintenance of $2.3 million; (iv) lease expense of $102,000; (v) energy costs of $1.4 million; and (vi) incentive management fees of $3.3 million.
Management Fees. Base management fees increased $2.5 million, or 533.5%, to $3.0 million in the 2021 quarter compared to the 2020 quarter at all of our hotel properties as a result of the recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.
Property Taxes, Insurance and Other. Property taxes, insurance and other decreased $54,000, or 0.7%, to $7.2 million in the 2021 quarter compared to the 2020 quarter.
Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization decreased $309,000, or 1.7%, to $18.2 million in the 2021 quarter compared to the 2020 quarter.
Advisory Services Fee. Advisory services fee increased $1.8 million, or 37.5%, to $6.7 million in the 2021 quarter compared to the 2020 quarter due to increases in the base advisory fee of $106,000, reimbursable expenses of $98,000, incentive fee of $1.3 million, and equity-based compensation of $368,000. In the 2021 quarter, we recorded an advisory services fee of $6.7 million, which included a base advisory fee of $2.7 million, reimbursable expenses of $510,000, incentive fee of $1.3 million and $2.3 million associated with equity grants of our common stock and LTIP units awarded to the officers and employees of Ashford Inc. In the 2020 quarter, we recorded an advisory services fee of $4.9 million, which included a base advisory fee of $2.6 million, reimbursable expenses of $412,000 and $1.9 million associated with equity grants of our common stock and LTIP units awarded to the officers and employees of Ashford Inc.
Gain on legal settlements. In the 2021 quarter, we recognized a gain of $800,000 related to the settlement of a transfer tax matter with the City of San Francisco and a gain of $189,000 related to a billing dispute. In the 2020 quarter, there was no such gain recognized.
Transaction costs. In the 2021 quarter, we recognized $296,000 of transaction costs associated with the pending acquisition of the Mr. C Beverly Hills hotel. There were no transaction costs in the 2020 quarter.
Corporate General and Administrative. Corporate general and administrative expense was $2.4 million in the 2021 quarter and $1.5 million in the 2020 quarter. The increase in corporate general and administrative expense is due to higher miscellaneous expenses of $301,000, higher public company costs of $165,000 and an increase of $425,000 related to our share of the reimbursed operating expenses of Ashford Securities, partially offset by lower professional fees of $23,000.
Gain (Loss) on Insurance Settlement and Disposition of Assets. In the 2021 quarter, we recognized a gain of $197,000 associated with the sale of certain ERFP assets to Ashford Inc.
Equity in Earnings (Loss) of Unconsolidated Entity. In the 2021 quarter and 2020 quarter, we recorded equity in loss of unconsolidated entity of $66,000 and $40,000, respectively, related to our investment in OpenKey.
Interest Income. Interest income decreased $12,000, or 50.0%, to $12,000 for the 2021 quarter.
Other Income (Expense). Other expense was $64,000 in 2020 quarter as compared to $0 in the 2021 quarter. In the 2020 quarter, we recorded expense of $64,000 related to CMBX premiums and interest paid on collateral.
Interest Expense and Amortization of Loan Costs. Interest expense and amortization of loan costs decreased $10.2 million, or 58.5%, to $7.2 million in the 2021 quarter compared to the 2020 quarter. The decrease is primarily due to a lower average LIBOR rate and the amortization of default interest and late charges recorded on loans that were previously in default, partially offset by higher interest expense associated with our secured term loan as well as the interest on our Convertible Senior Notes. The average LIBOR rates in the 2021 quarter and the 2020 quarter were 0.10% and 0.35%, respectively.
Write-off of Loan Costs and Exit Fees. Write-off of loan costs and exit fees was $1.2 million in the 2021 quarter, primarily associated with the $1.2 million write-off of unamortized loan costs upon the payoff of our secured term loan.
Write-off of loan costs and exit fees was $2.2 million in the 2020 quarter, resulting from several amendments executed with various lenders, which included deferral of debt service payments and allowed the use of reserves for property-level operating shortfalls and/or to cover debt service payments. Third-party fees incurred in conjunction with these amendments, totaling $2.2 million, were expensed in accordance with applicable accounting guidance.
Unrealized Gain (Loss) on Derivatives. Unrealized loss on derivatives of $58,000 in the 2021 quarter consisted of unrealized loss on interest rate caps. Unrealized loss on derivatives of $969,000 in the 2020 quarter consisted of a $925,000 unrealized loss on CMBX credit default swaps and a $44,000 unrealized loss on interest rate caps.
Income Tax (Expense) Benefit. Income tax (expense) benefit changed $4.5 million, from income tax benefit of $4.4 million in the 2020 quarter to income tax expense of $61,000 in the 2021 quarter. This change was primarily due to an increase in the profitability of our TRS entities in the 2021 quarter compared to the 2020 quarter.
(Income) Loss Attributable to Noncontrolling Interest in Consolidated Entities. Our noncontrolling interest partner in consolidated entities was allocated a loss of $849,000 and $2.4 million in the 2021 quarter and the 2020 quarter, respectively. At both June 30, 2021 and 2020, noncontrolling interest in consolidated entities represented an ownership interest of 25% in two hotel properties held by one entity.
Net (Income) Loss Attributable to Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests in Operating Partnership. Noncontrolling interests in operating partnership were allocated a net loss of $1.3 million and $5.8 million in the 2021 quarter and the 2020 quarter, respectively. Redeemable noncontrolling interests in Braemar OP represented ownership interests of 7.62% and 10.26% as of June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

_______________
(1) The hotel was being renovated through September 30, 2020.
Food and Beverage Revenue. Food and beverage revenue increased $5.6 million, or 18.1%, to $36.5 million during the 2021 period compared to the 2020 period. This increase is primarily driven by the gradual recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic. We experienced an aggregate increase in food and beverage revenue of $12.0 million at The Ritz-Carlton St. Thomas, The Ritz-Carlton Sarasota, The Ritz-Carlton Lake Tahoe, Pier House Resort & Spa, Bardessono Hotel and Spa and Hotel Yountville. The increases were partially offset by an aggregate decrease of $6.4 million at Capital Hilton, Hilton La Jolla Torrey Pines, The Notary Hotel, Marriott Seattle Waterfront, Park Hyatt Beaver Creek Resort & Spa, The Clancy and Sofitel Chicago Magnificent Mile.
Other Hotel Revenue. Other hotel revenue, which consists mainly of condo management fees, health center fees, resort fees, golf, telecommunications, parking, rentals and business interruption revenue, increased $3.8 million, or 16.8%, to $26.3 million during the 2021 period compared to the 2020 period. The increase is attributable to higher other hotel revenue of $8.8 million at eight hotel properties, partially offset by an aggregate decrease of $1.1 million at The Clancy, Capital Hilton, Hilton La Jolla Torrey Pines and The Notary Hotel and lower business interruption revenue of $4.0 million.
During the 2020 period, we recognized business interruption revenue of $4.0 million at The Ritz-Carlton St. Thomas as a result of Hurricane Irma. There was no such revenue recorded in the 2021 period.
Rooms Expense. Rooms expense increased $3.2 million, or 14.9%, to $24.5 million in the 2021 period compared to the 2020 period. The increase is attributable to an aggregate increase in rooms expense of $5.7 million at nine hotel properties, partially offset by a decrease of $2.5 million at the Capital Hilton, The Notary Hotel, Marriott Seattle Waterfront and Hilton La Jolla Torrey Pines.
Food and Beverage Expense. Food and beverage expense increased $2.7 million, or 9.9%, to $30.3 million during the 2021 period compared to the 2020 period. The increase is attributable to an aggregate increase of $8.6 million at seven hotel properties, partially offset by an aggregate decrease of $5.8 million at Capital Hilton, The Notary Hotel, Hilton La Jolla Torrey Pines, Marriott Seattle Waterfront, Sofitel Chicago Magnificent Mile and Park Hyatt Beaver Creek Resort & Spa.
Other Operating Expenses. Other operating expenses increased $7.0 million, or 12.6%, to $62.0 million in the 2021 period compared to the 2020 period. Hotel operating expenses consist of direct expenses from departments associated with revenue streams and indirect expenses associated with support departments and incentive management fees. We experienced an increase of $3.1 million in direct expenses and $3.8 million in indirect expenses and incentive management fees in the 2021 period compared to the 2020 period.
Direct expenses were 5.6% of total hotel revenue in the 2021 period and 5.4% in the 2020 period. The increase in direct expenses is associated with higher revenues as hotel properties are recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic.
The increase in indirect expenses is attributable to increases in (i) incentive management fees of $3.8 million; (ii) repairs and maintenance of $1.5 million; and (iii) energy costs of $1.3 million. The increases were partially offset by decreases in (i) general and administrative costs of $2.6 million; (ii) lease expense of $159,000; and (iii) marketing costs of $65,000.
Management Fees. Base management fees increased $1.1 million, or 26.3%, to $5.5 million in the 2021 period compared to the 2020 period. Management fees increased $1.9 million at eight hotel properties, partially offset be an aggregate decrease of $728,000 at the Capital Hilton, Hilton La Jolla Torrey Pines and Park Hyatt Beaver Creek Resort & Spa, The Notary Hotel and The Clancy.
Property Taxes, Insurance and Other. Property taxes, insurance and other decreased $450,000, or 3.0%, to $14.5 million in the 2021 period compared to the 2020 period.
Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization decreased $294,000, or 0.8%, to $36.6 million for the 2021 period compared to the 2020 period.
Advisory Services Fee. Advisory services fee increased $1.6 million, or 15.7%, to $11.5 million in the 2021 period compared to the 2020 period due to increases in the base advisory fee of $30,000, reimbursable expenses of $46,000, and incentive fee of $1.6 million, partially offset by a decrease in equity-based compensation of $149,000. In the 2021 period, we recorded an advisory services fee of $11.5 million, which included a base advisory fee of $5.2 million, reimbursable expenses of $1.0 million, $3.7 million associated with equity grants of our common stock and LTIP units awarded to the officers and employees of Ashford Inc. and an incentive fee of $1.6 million. In the 2020 period, we recorded an advisory services fee of $10.0 million, which included a base advisory fee of $5.2 million, reimbursable expenses of $956,000 and $3.8 million associated with equity grants of our common stock and LTIP units awarded to the officers and employees of Ashford Inc.
Gain on legal settlement. In the 2021 period, we recognized a gain of $800,000 related to the settlement of a transfer tax matter with the City of San Francisco and $189,000 related to a billing dispute. In the 2020 period, there was no such gain recognized.
Transaction costs. In the 2021 period, we recognized $296,000 of transaction costs associated with the pending acquisition of the Mr. C Beverly Hills Hotel. There were no transaction costs in the 2020 period.
Corporate General and Administrative. Corporate general and administrative expense was $4.0 million in the 2021 period and $3.4 million in the 2020 period. The increase in corporate general and administrative expenses is primarily due to higher miscellaneous expenses of $221,000, an increase of $533,000 related to our share of the reimbursed operating expenses of Ashford Securities and higher public company costs of $233,000, partially offset by lower professional fees of $450,000.
Gain (loss) on insurance settlement and disposition of assets. In the 2021 period, we recognized a gain of $481,000 associated with proceeds received from an insurance claim, a gain of $18,000 upon disposition of certain fixed assets as well as a gain of $197,000 associated with the sale of certain ERFP assets to Ashford Inc.
Equity in Earnings (Loss) of Unconsolidated Entity. In the 2021 period and the 2020 period, we recorded equity in loss of unconsolidated entity of $130,000 and $80,000, respectively, related to our investment in OpenKey.
Interest Income. Interest income decreased $132,000, or 86.3%, to $21,000 for the 2021 period compared to the 2020 period.
Other Income (Expense). Other expense decreased $202,000, or 100.0% to $0 in the 2021 period compared to the 2020 period. In the 2020 period, we recorded expense of $127,000 related to CMBX premiums and interest paid on collateral and a realized loss of $75,000 on interest rate floors.
Interest Expense and Amortization of Loan Costs. Interest expense and amortization of loan costs decreased $15.3 million, or 52.3%, to $14.0 million for the 2021 period compared to the 2020 period. The decrease is primarily due to a lower average LIBOR rate and the amortization of default interest and late charges recorded on loans that were previously in default, partially offset by higher interest expense on our Convertible Senior Notes. The average LIBOR rates for the 2021 period and the 2020 period were 0.11% and 0.89%, respectively.
Write-off of Loan Costs and Exit Fees. Write-off of loan costs and exit fees was $1.5 million in the 2021 period, primary associated with a $1.2 million write-off of unamortized loan costs upon the payoff of our secured term loan payoff and $351,000 from several amendments executed with various lenders, which included deferral of debt service payments and allowed the use of reserves for property-level operating shortfalls and/or to cover debt service payments. Third-party fees incurred in conjunction with these amendments, totaling $351,000, were expensed in accordance with applicable accounting guidance.
Write-off of loan costs and exit fees was $2.2 million in the 2020 period, resulting from several amendments executed with various lenders, which included deferral of debt service payments and allowed the use of reserves for property-level operating shortfalls and/or to cover debt service payments. Third-party fees incurred in conjunction with these amendments, totaling $2.2 million, were expensed in accordance with applicable accounting guidance.
Unrealized Gain (Loss) on Derivatives. Unrealized loss on derivatives of $78,000 for the 2021 period consisted of unrealized loss on interest rate caps.
Unrealized gain on derivatives of $187,000 for the 2020 period consisted of a $175,000 unrealized gain on CMBX credit default swaps and a $75,000 unrealized gain on interest rate floors, partially offset by an unrealized loss of $63,000 on interest rate caps.
Income Tax (Expense) Benefit. Income tax expense changed $3.3 million, from an income tax benefit of $3.1 million in the 2020 period to income tax expense of $206,000 in the 2021 period. This change was primarily due to an increase in the profitability of our TRS entities in the 2021 period compared to the 2020 period.
(Income) Loss Attributable to Noncontrolling Interest in Consolidated Entities. Our noncontrolling interest partner in consolidated entities was allocated a loss of $2.1 million and $3.0 million for the 2021 period and the 2020 period, respectively. At both June 30, 2021 and 2020, noncontrolling interest in consolidated entities represented an ownership interest of 25% in two hotel properties held by one entity.
Net (Income) Loss Attributable to Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests in Operating Partnership. Noncontrolling interests in operating partnership were allocated a net loss of $2.4 million and $7.7 million for the 2021 period and the 2020 period, respectively. Redeemable noncontrolling interests represented ownership interests in Braemar OP of approximately 7.62% and 10.26% as of June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
COVID-19, Management’s Plans and Liquidity
In December 2019, COVID-19 was identified in Wuhan, China, subsequently spread to other regions of the world, and has resulted in significant travel restrictions and extended shutdown of numerous businesses throughout the United States. In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 to be a global pandemic. Beginning in late February 2020, we experienced a significant decline in occupancy and RevPAR associated with COVID-19 as we experienced significant reservation cancellations as well as a significant reduction in new reservations. The prolonged presence of the virus has resulted in health and other government authorities imposing widespread restrictions on travel and other businesses.
The Company has taken proactive and aggressive actions to protect liquidity and reduce corporate expenses. The Company has also significantly reduced its planned spending for capital expenditures for fiscal year 2021 to approximately $20 million to $30 million and suspended its common stock dividends.
When preparing financial statements for each annual and interim reporting period management has the responsibility to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that create substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. In applying the accounting guidance, the Company considers its current financial condition and liquidity sources, including current funds available, forecasted future cash flows and its unconditional obligations due over the next 12 months.
As of June 30, 2021, the Company maintained unrestricted cash of $157.7 million and restricted cash of $57.4 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, cash flows provided by operating activities was approximately $31.5 million. The vast majority of the restricted cash is comprised of lender and manager held reserves. The Company worked with its property managers and lenders in order to utilize lender and manager held reserves to fund operating shortfalls. At the end of the quarter, there was also $21.5 million due to the Company from third-party hotel managers, which is primarily the Company’s cash held by one of its property managers which is also available to fund hotel operating costs. On December 10, 2020, the Company announced that it plans to continue its suspension of the common stock dividend into 2021 to protect liquidity and will evaluate future dividend declarations on a quarterly basis going forward.
We cannot predict when hotel operating levels will return to normalized levels after the effects of the pandemic fully subside, whether our hotels will be forced to shut down operations or whether one or more possible recurrences of COVID-19 case surges could result in further reductions in business and personal travel or potentially cause state and local governments to reinstate travel restrictions. As a result of these factors resulting from the impact of the pandemic, we are unable to estimate future financial performance with certainty. However, based on our completed Convertible Senior Notes transaction (as described below), the corresponding repayment of our secured term loan, which eliminated financial covenants associated with it, our current unrestricted and restricted cash on hand, our current cash utilization and forecast of future operating results for the next 12 months from the date of this report, and the actions we have taken to improve our liquidity, the Company has concluded that the facts and circumstances that previously gave rise to substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued have been resolved. Facts and circumstances could change in the future that are outside of management’s control, such as additional government mandates, health official orders, travel restrictions and extended business shutdowns due to COVID-19.
Our short-term liquidity requirements consist primarily of funds necessary to pay for operating expenses and other expenditures directly associated with our hotel properties, including:
•advisory fees payable to Ashford LLC;
•recurring maintenance necessary to maintain our hotel properties in accordance with brand standards;
•interest expense and scheduled principal payments on outstanding indebtedness, including our secured term loan (see “Contractual Obligations and Commitments”);
•distributions, if any, in the form of dividends on our common stock, necessary to qualify for taxation as a REIT;
•dividends on our preferred stock; and
•capital expenditures to improve our hotel properties.
We expect to meet our short-term liquidity requirements generally through net cash provided by operations, capital market activities and existing cash balances.
Pursuant to the advisory agreement between us and our advisor, we must pay our advisor on a monthly basis a base advisory fee, subject to a minimum base advisory fee. The minimum base advisory fee is equal to the greater of: (i) 90% of the base fee paid for the same month in the prior fiscal year; and (ii) 1/12th of the “G&A Ratio” for the most recently completed fiscal quarter multiplied by our total market capitalization on the last balance sheet date included in the most recent quarterly report on Form 10-Q or annual report on Form 10-K that we file with the SEC. Thus, even if our total market capitalization and performance decline, we will still be required to make payments to our advisor equal to the minimum base advisory fee, which could adversely impact our liquidity and financial condition.
Our long-term liquidity requirements consist primarily of funds necessary to pay for the costs of acquiring additional hotel properties and redevelopments, renovations, expansions and other capital expenditures that need to be made periodically with respect to our hotel properties and scheduled debt payments. We expect to meet our long-term liquidity requirements through various sources of capital, including future common and preferred equity issuances, existing working capital, net cash provided by operations, hotel mortgage indebtedness and other secured and unsecured borrowings. However, there are a number of
factors that may have a material adverse effect on our ability to access these capital sources, including the current and ongoing effects of COVID-19 on our business and the hotel industry, the state of overall equity and credit markets, our degree of leverage, our unencumbered asset base and borrowing restrictions imposed by lenders (including as a result of any failure to comply with financial covenants in our existing and future indebtedness), general market conditions for REITs, our operating performance and liquidity and market perceptions about us. The success of our business strategy will depend, in part, on our ability to access these various capital sources. While management cannot provide any assurances, management believes that our cash flow from operations and our existing cash balances will be adequate to meet upcoming anticipated requirements for interest and principal payments on debt (excluding any potential final maturity principal payments), working capital, and capital expenditures for the next 12 months and dividends required to maintain our status as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
Our hotel properties will require periodic capital expenditures and renovation to remain competitive. In addition, acquisitions, redevelopments or expansions of hotel properties may require significant capital outlays. We may not be able to fund such capital improvements solely from net cash provided by operations because we must distribute annually at least 90% of our REIT taxable income, determined without regard to the deductions for dividends paid and excluding net capital gains, to qualify and maintain our qualification as a REIT, and we are subject to tax on any retained income and gains. As a result, our ability to fund capital expenditures, acquisitions or hotel redevelopment through retained earnings is very limited. Consequently, we expect to rely heavily upon the availability of debt or equity capital for these purposes. If we are unable to obtain the necessary capital on favorable terms, or at all, our financial condition, liquidity, results of operations and prospects could be materially and adversely affected.
Certain of our loan agreements contain cash trap provisions that may be triggered if the performance of our hotel properties decline. When these provisions are triggered, substantially all of the profit generated by the hotel properties securing such loan is deposited directly into lockbox accounts and then swept into cash management accounts for the benefit of our various lenders. This could affect our liquidity and our ability to make distributions to our stockholders until such time that a cash trap is no longer in effect for such loan. These cash trap provisions have been triggered on some of our mortgage loans.
Equity Transactions
On December 5, 2017, our board of directors approved the stock repurchase program pursuant to which the board of directors granted a repurchase authorization to acquire shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share and preferred stock having an aggregate value of up to $50 million. The board of directors’ authorization replaced any previous repurchase authorizations. No shares were repurchased during the six months ended June 30, 2021, pursuant to this authorization.
On December 11, 2017, we entered into equity distribution agreements with certain sales agents to sell from time to time shares of our common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $50.0 million. Sales of shares of our common stock, if any, may be made in negotiated transactions or transactions that are deemed to be “at-the-market” offerings as defined in Rule 415 of the Securities Act, including sales made directly on the NYSE, the existing trading market for our common stock, or sales made to or through a market maker other than on an exchange or through an electronic communications network. We will pay each of the sales agents a commission, which in each case shall not be more than 2.0% of the gross sales price of the shares of our common stock sold through such sales agent. On July 7, 2020, we entered into a side letter (the “Side Letter”) with the sales agents pursuant to which we agreed to pay all reasonable documented out-of-pocket expenses, including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel incurred by the sales agents, in connection with the ongoing services contemplated by the equity distribution agreements (subject to a $75,000 cap on certain expenses incurred in June 2020). Pursuant to the Side Letter, the sales agents have agreed to reimburse us for up to $50,000 of such expenses, if the sales agents offer and sell an amount of our common stock with an aggregate offering price of $15,000,000, and have agreed to reimburse us for up to an additional $50,000 of such expenses, provided the sales agents offer and sell an amount of our common stock with an aggregate offering price of $30,000,000. As of August 4, 2021, the Company has sold approximately 7.4 million shares of common stock and received gross proceeds of approximately $30.8 million under this program.
On November 13, 2019, we filed an initial registration statement with the SEC, as amended on January 24, 2020, for shares of our non-traded Series E Preferred Stock and our non-traded Series M Preferred Stock. The registration statement became effective on February 21, 2020, and contemplates the issuance and sale of up to 20,000,000 shares of Series E Preferred Stock or Series M Preferred Stock in a primary offering and up to 8,000,000 shares of Series E Preferred Stock or Series M Preferred Stock offered pursuant to a dividend reinvestment plan. On February 25, 2020, we filed our prospectus with the SEC. Ashford Securities, a subsidiary of Ashford Inc. serves as the dealer manager and wholesaler of our Series E Preferred Stock and Series M Preferred Stock. On April 2, 2021, the Company filed with the State Department of Assessments and Taxation of the State of Maryland articles supplementary to the Company’s Articles of Amendment and Restatement that provided for: (i) reclassifying the existing 28,000,000 shares of Series E Preferred Stock and 28,000,000 shares of Series M Preferred Stock as unissued
shares of preferred stock; (ii) reclassifying and designating 28,000,000 shares of the Company’s authorized capital stock as shares of the Series E Preferred Stock; and (iii) reclassifying and designating 28,000,000 shares of the Company’s authorized capital stock as shares of the Series M Preferred Stock. These new Series E Articles Supplementary and Series M Articles Supplementary were filed to revise the preferred stock terms related to the dividend rate, the Company’s optional redemption right and certain other voting rights. The Company also caused its operating partnership to execute Amendment No. 5 to the Third Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership to amend the terms of its operating partnership to conform to the terms of its Series E Articles Supplementary and Series M Articles Supplementary. As of August 4, 2021, the Company has sold approximately 86,000 shares of Series E Preferred Stock and received net proceeds of approximately $1.9 million. As of August 4, 2021, no shares of Series M Preferred Stock have been issued.
On December 4, 2019, we entered into equity distribution agreements with certain sales agents to sell from time to time shares of our Series B Convertible Preferred Stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $40.0 million. Sales of shares of our Series B Convertible Preferred Stock may be made in negotiated transactions or transactions that are deemed to be “at-the-market” offerings as defined in Rule 415 of the Securities Act, including sales made directly on the NYSE, the existing trading market for our Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, or sales made to or through a market maker other than on an exchange or through an electronic communications network. We will pay each of the sales agents a commission, which in each case shall not be more than 2.0% of the gross sales price of the shares of our Series B Convertible Preferred Stock sold through such sales agents. Since the inception of the program, we issued approximately 63,000 shares of our Series B Convertible Preferred Stock through our “at-the-market” equity offering program resulting in gross proceeds of approximately $1.0 million before discounts and commissions to the selling agents of approximately $19,000.
On February 4, 2021, the Company entered into the SEDA, pursuant to which the Company will be able to sell the Commitment Amount at the Company’s request any time during the commitment period commencing on February 4, 2021, and terminating at the end of the Commitment Period. Other than with respect to the Initial Advance the shares sold to YA pursuant to the SEDA would be purchased at 95% of the Market Price and would be subject to certain limitations, including that YA could not purchase any shares that would result in it owning more than 4.99% of the Company’s common stock.
At any time during the Commitment Period the Company may require YA to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock by delivering an Advance Notice. The Company may deliver an Initial Advance for up to 1,200,000 Advance Shares. The Preliminary Purchase Price per share for such shares shall be 100% of the average daily VWAP for the 5 consecutive trading days immediately prior to the date of the Advance Notice.
Pursuant to the SEDA, we currently intend to use the net proceeds from any sale of the shares for working capital purposes, including the repayment of outstanding debt. There are no other restrictions on future financing transactions. The SEDA does not contain any right of first refusal, participation rights, penalties or liquidated damages. We are not required to pay any additional amounts to reimburse or otherwise compensate YA in connection with the transaction except for a $10,000 structuring fee. As of August 4, 2021, the Company has sold approximately 1.7 million shares of common stock and received proceeds of approximately $10.0 million under the SEDA.
From March 16, 2021 through August 4, 2021, Braemar entered into privately negotiated exchange agreements with certain holders of its Series B Convertible Preferred Stock in reliance on Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act. The Company agreed to exchange a total of approximately 2.0 million shares of its common stock for approximately 7.3 million shares of its Series B Convertible Preferred Stock.
On April 21, 2021, Braemar and Lincoln Park, entered into a purchase agreement, pursuant to which the Company may sell to Lincoln Park up to 8,893,565 shares of its common stock, par value $0.01 per share of the Company, from time to time during the term of the purchase agreement. The issuance of the common shares pursuant to the purchase agreement has been registered pursuant to the Company’s Registration Statement, and the related base prospectus included in the Registration Statement, as supplemented by a prospectus supplement filed with the SEC on April 21, 2021. Braemar and Lincoln Park also entered into a registration rights agreement, pursuant to which the Company agreed to maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement. As of August 4, 2021, the Company has issued approximately 766,000 shares of common stock for gross proceeds of approximately $4.2 million under the Purchase Agreement.
On May 25, 2021, the Company entered into an equity distribution agreement with Virtu Americas LLC (“Virtu”), to sell from time to time shares of our common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $50 million (the “Virtu May 2021 EDA”). We will pay Virtu a commission of approximately 1.0% of the gross sales price of the shares of our common stock sold. The Company may also sell some or all of the shares of our common stock to Virtu as principal for its own account at a price agreed upon at the time of sale.

We will pay Virtu a commission of approximately 1.0% of the gross sales price of the shares of our common stock sold. The Company may
also sell some or all of the shares of our common stock to Virtu as principal for its own account at a price agreed upon at the time of sale. As of August 4, 2021, the Company has not sold any shares of common stock under the Virtu July 2021 EDA.
Debt Transactions
In May 2021, the Company issued $86.25 million aggregate principal amount of 4.50% Convertible Senior Notes due June 2026 (the “Convertible Senior Notes”). The net proceeds from this offering of the Convertible Senior Notes were approximately $82.8 million after deducting the underwriting fees and other expenses paid by the Company.
The Convertible Senior Notes are governed by an indenture (the “Base Indenture”) between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee. The Convertible Senior Notes bear interest at a rate of 4.50% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year, beginning on December 1, 2021. The Convertible Senior Notes will mature on June 1, 2026.
The Convertible Senior Notes are convertible at any time prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the maturity date for cash, shares of the Company’s common stock or a combination of cash and shares of the Company’s common stock, at the election of the Company, based on an initial conversion rate of 157.7909 shares of the Company’s common stock per $1,000 principal amount of notes (equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $6.34 per share of common stock), subject to adjustment of the conversion rate under certain circumstances. In addition, following the occurrence of certain corporate events, if the Company provides notice of redemption or if it exercises its option to convert the Convertible Senior Notes, the Company will, in certain circumstances, increase the conversion rate for a holder that converts its Convertible Senior Notes in connection with such corporate event, such notice of redemption, or such issuer conversion option, as the case may be.
The Company may redeem the Convertible Senior Notes at the Company’s option, in whole or in part, on any business day on or after the date of issuance if the last reported sale price per share of the Company’s common stock has been at least 130% of the conversion price then in effect for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during any 30 consecutive trading day period ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the date on which the Company provides a notice of redemption at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Convertible Senior Notes to be redeemed subject to certain adjustments, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date.
Sources and Uses of Cash
We had approximately $157.7 million and $78.6 million of cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.
We anticipate that our principal sources of funds to meet our cash requirements will include cash on hand, positive cash flow from operations and capital market activities.
Net Cash Flows Provided by (Used in) Operating Activities. Net cash flows provided by (used in) operating activities were $31.5 million and $(23.3) million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Cash flows from operations were impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and changes in hotel operations of our thirteen hotel properties. Cash flows from operations are also impacted by the timing of working capital cash flows such as collecting receivables from hotel guests, paying vendors, settling with derivative counterparties, settling with related parties, settling with hotel managers and timing differences between the receipt of proceeds from business interruption insurance claims and the recognition of the related revenue.
Net Cash Flows Provided by (Used in) Investing Activities. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, net cash flows used in investing activities were $10.3 million. These cash outflows were primarily attributable to $9.1 million of capital improvements made to various hotel properties and a deposit of $3.0 million associated with the pending acquisition of the Mr. C. Hotel, partially offset by proceeds of $1.8 million from the sale of certain ERFP assets to Ashford Inc.
For the six months ended June 30, 2020, net cash flows used in investing activities were $9.8 million. These cash outflows were primarily attributable to $12.3 million of capital improvements made to various hotel properties partially offset by $2.5 million of insurance proceeds received related to the hurricanes.
Net Cash Flows Provided by (Used in) Financing Activities. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, net cash flows provided by financing activities were $80.7 million. Cash inflows primarily consisted of net proceeds of $83.2 million from the issuance of our Convertible Senior Notes, $65.7 million from the issuance of common stock and contributions of $920,000 from a noncontrolling interest in consolidated entities. The cash inflows were partially offset by repayments of indebtedness of $62.8 million, $4.9 million of dividend and distribution payments and $930,000 of payments for loan costs and fees.
For the six months ended June 30, 2020, net cash flows provided by financing activities were $46.7 million. Cash inflows primarily consisted of borrowings on indebtedness of $109.3 million and net proceeds of $474,000 from the issuance of preferred stock, partially offset by repayments on indebtedness of $44.3 million, $11.0 million of dividend and distribution payments, $4.9 million of payments for loan costs and fees associated with loan forbearance and distributions of $2.6 million to a noncontrolling interest in consolidated entities.
Dividend Policy. In December 2019, the board of directors approved our dividend policy for 2020, which stated our then-expectation to pay a quarterly dividend of $0.16 per share during 2020. As previously disclosed, the approval of our dividend policy did not commit our board of directors to declare future dividends with respect to any quantity or the amount thereof. On March 16, 2020, the Company and its board of directors announced a suspension of its previously disclosed 2020 common stock dividend policy. The Company did not pay a dividend on its common stock during any quarter of 2020. On December 10, 2020, the Company announced that it plans to continue its suspension of the common stock dividend into 2021 to protect liquidity and will evaluate future dividend declarations on a quarterly basis going forward. The board of directors will continue to review our dividend policy and make announcements with respect thereto.
Seasonality
Our properties’ operations historically have been seasonal as certain properties maintain higher occupancy rates during the summer months and some during the winter months. This seasonality pattern can cause fluctuations in our quarterly lease revenue under our percentage leases. Quarterly revenue also may be adversely affected by renovations and repositionings, our managers’ effectiveness in generating business and by events beyond our control, such as the COVID-19 pandemic and government-issued travel restrictions in response, extreme weather conditions, natural disasters, terrorist attacks or alerts, civil unrest, government shutdowns, airline strikes or reduced airline capacity, economic factors and other considerations affecting travel. To the extent that cash flows from operations and cash on hand are insufficient during any quarter due to temporary or seasonal fluctuations in lease revenue, we expect to utilize borrowings to fund distributions required to maintain our REIT status. However, we cannot make any assurances that we will make distributions in the future.
Contractual Obligations and Commitments
There have been no material changes, outside of the ordinary course of business, as of June 30, 2021 to contractual obligations specified in the table of contractual obligations included in the section “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in our 2020 Form 10-K.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
In the normal course of business, we may form or invest in partnerships or joint ventures. We evaluate each partnership and joint venture to determine whether the entity is a variable interest entity. If the entity is determined to be a VIE we assess whether we are the primary beneficiary and need to consolidate the entity. For further discussion see note 2 to our consolidated financial statements. We have no other off-balance sheet arrangements.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Our accounting policies that are critical or most important to understanding our financial condition and results of operations and that require management to make the most difficult judgments are described in the section “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in our 2020 Form 10-K. There have been no material changes in these critical accounting policies.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The following non-GAAP presentations of EBITDA, EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDAre, Funds From Operations (“FFO”) and Adjusted FFO are presented to help our investors evaluate our operating performance.
EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) before interest expense and amortization of loan costs, depreciation and amortization, income taxes, equity in (earnings) loss of unconsolidated entity and after the Company’s portion of EBITDA of OpenKey. In addition, we excluded impairment on real estate, (gain) loss on insurance settlement and disposition of assets and Company’s portion of EBITDAre of OpenKey from EBITDA to calculate EBITDA for real estate, or EBITDAre, as defined by NAREIT.
We then further adjust EBITDAre to exclude certain additional items such as amortization of favorable (unfavorable) contract assets (liabilities), transaction and conversion costs, write-off of loan costs and exit fees, legal, advisory and settlement costs, advisory services incentive fee, other/income expense, Company’s portion of adjustments to EBITDAre of OpenKey and non-cash items such as unrealized gain/ loss on derivatives and stock/unit-based compensation.
We present EBITDA, EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre because we believe they reflect more accurately the ongoing performance of our hotel assets and other investments and provide more useful information to investors as they are indicators of our ability to meet our future debt payment requirements, working capital requirements and they provide an overall evaluation of our financial condition. EBITDA, EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre as calculated by us may not be comparable to EBITDA, EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre reported by other companies that do not define EBITDA, EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre exactly as we define the terms. EBITDA, EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre do not represent cash generated from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP, and should not be considered as an alternative to operating income or net income determined in accordance with GAAP as an indicator of performance or as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities as determined by GAAP as an indicator of liquidity.
The following table reconciles net income (loss) to EBITDA, EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre (in thousands) (unaudited):

FFO is calculated on the basis defined by NAREIT, which is net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders, computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains or losses on insurance settlement and disposition of assets, plus impairment charges on real estate, depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, and after redeemable noncontrolling interests in the operating partnership and adjustments for unconsolidated entities. NAREIT developed FFO as a relative measure of performance of an equity REIT to recognize that income-producing real estate historically has not depreciated on the basis determined by GAAP. Our calculation of Adjusted FFO excludes dividends on convertible preferred stock, gain/loss on extinguishment of preferred stock, transaction and conversion costs, write-off of loan costs and exit fees, legal, advisory and settlement costs, advisory services incentive fee, other income/expense and non-cash items such as interest expense on Convertible Senior Notes, interest expense accretion on refundable membership club deposits, amortization of loan costs, unrealized gain/loss on derivatives, stock/unit-based compensation and the Company’s portion of adjustments to FFO of OpenKey. FFO and Adjusted FFO exclude amounts attributable to the portion of a partnership owned by the third party. We consider FFO and Adjusted FFO to be appropriate measures of our ongoing normalized operating performance as a REIT. We compute FFO in accordance with our interpretation of standards established by NAREIT, which may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs that either do not define the term in accordance with the current NAREIT definition or interpret the NAREIT definition differently than us. FFO and Adjusted FFO do not represent cash generated from operating activities as determined by GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to GAAP net income or loss as an indication of our financial performance or GAAP cash flows from operating activities as a measure of our liquidity. FFO and Adjusted FFO are also not indicative of funds available to satisfy our cash needs, including our ability to make cash distributions. However, to facilitate a clear understanding of our historical operating results, we believe that FFO and Adjusted FFO should be considered along with our net income or loss and cash flows reported in our condensed consolidated financial statements.
The following table reconciles net income (loss) to FFO and Adjusted FFO (in thousands) (unaudited):
