Apple Hospitality REIT, Inc., together with its wholly-owned subsidiaries (the “Company”), is a Virginia corporation that has elected to be treated as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for federal income tax purposes. The Company is a self-advised REIT that invests in income-producing real estate, primarily in the lodging sector, in the United States (“U.S.”). The Company’s fiscal year end is December 31. The Company has no foreign operations or assets and its operating structure includes only one reportable segment. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Although the Company has interests in potential variable interest entities through its purchase commitments, it is not the primary beneficiary as the Company does not have any elements of power in the decision-making process of these entities, and therefore does not consolidate the entities. As of September 30, 2021, the Company owned 215 hotels with an aggregate of 28,085 rooms located in 35 states. The Company’s common shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the ticker symbol “APLE.”

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations for reporting on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“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 unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 (the “2020 Form 10-K”). Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the twelve month period ending December 31, 2021.

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

As a result of the coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic (“COVID-19”) and the impact it has had on travel and the broader economy throughout the U.S. since March 2020, the Company’s hotels have experienced significant declines in occupancy, which have had and are expected to continue to have a significant negative effect on the Company’s revenue and operating results. While occupancy has recovered significantly during the first nine months of 2021, there remains significant uncertainty as to when or if operations at the hotels will return to pre-pandemic levels.

Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed based upon the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per common share is calculated after giving effect to all potential common shares that were dilutive and outstanding for the period. Basic and diluted net income (loss) per common share were the same for each of the periods presented.

In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848), which provides optional guidance through December 31, 2022 to ease the potential burden in accounting for, or recognizing the effects of, reference rate reform on financial reporting. In January 2021, the FASB issued 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848), Scope, which further clarified the scope of the reference rate reform optional practical expedients and exceptions outlined in Topic 848. The amendments in ASU Nos. 2020-04 and 2021-01 apply to contract modifications that replace a reference rate affected by reference rate reform, providing optional expedients regarding the measurement of hedge effectiveness in hedging relationships that have been modified to replace a reference rate. The guidance in ASU Nos. 2020-04 and 2021-01 became effective upon issuance and the provisions of the ASUs have not had a material impact on the Company’s

consolidated financial statements and related disclosures as of September 30, 2021. The provisions of these updates will generally affect the Company by allowing, among other things, the following:

•

Modifications of the Company’s unsecured credit facilities (as defined below) to replace the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) with a substitute index to be accounted for as a non-substantial modification and not be considered a debt extinguishment.

•

Changes to the floating interest rate index used in the Company’s interest rate swaps to not be considered a change to the critical terms of the hedge and therefore not requiring a dedesignation of the hedging relationship.

The Company has not entered into any contract modifications yet as it directly relates to reference rate reform but anticipates having to undertake such modifications in the future as a majority of the Company’s unsecured credit facilities and interest rate swaps are indexed to LIBOR.

In May 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2021-04, Issuer’s Accounting for Certain Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options (Topics 260, 470, 718 and 815), which provides updated guidance to clarify and reduce diversity in an issuer’s accounting for modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options that remain equity classified after modification or exchange. The provisions of this update are effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2021. The adoption of this update is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
