PAY VERSUS PERFORMANCE

 

Pay Versus Performance Tables

 

We are providing the following information about the relationship between “compensation actually paid” to our CEO and to our other NEOs and certain financial performance measures of Chatham Lodging Trust, including our company-selected measure, Adjusted FFO (funds from operations) per share. We believe that adjusting FFO to exclude certain recurring and non-recurring items provides useful supplemental information regarding our ongoing operating performance and that the presentation of AFFO, when combined with the primary GAAP presentation of net income (loss), more completely describes our operating performance. Compensation actually paid, as determined under SEC requirements, does not necessarily reflect the actual amount of compensation earned by or paid to our NEOs during a covered year or the way in which the Compensation Committee views compensation decisions. For further information regarding the Company's pay-for-performance philosophy, please refer to “Compensation Discussion and Analysis”.

Awards' grant date fair values were calculated based on the Black-Scholes option pricing model as of date of grant. Adjustments have been made using award fair values as of each measurement date using the common share price as of the measurement date and updated assumptions (i.e., term, volatility, dividend yield, risk free rates) as of the measurement date. Performance-based restricted LTIP unit grant date fair values were calculated using the common share price as of date of grant assuming target performance. Adjustments have been made using the common share price and performance accrual modifier as of year-end and as of the date of vest. Time-vested restricted LTIP unit grant date fair values were calculated using the common share price as of date of grant. Adjustments have been made using the common share price as of year-end and as of each date of vest.

We have presented Adjusted FFO per Share because it is the only financial measure among the performance metrics used for determining compensation actually paid to our NEOs for 2025, 2024, 2023 and 2022, and for 2021 and 2020, the Compensation Committee and the Board determined not to employ any financial metric due to the uncertain financial impact of the pandemic. Adjusted FFO per Share, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, is calculated by dividing (a) adjusted funds from operations for the period presented (which is our net income or loss excluding items we believe do not represent costs related to hotel operations, including gains or losses from sales of real estate, impairment write-downs, the cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles, depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs), adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures, other charges, losses on the early extinguishment of debt) by (b) the weighted average number of our common shares outstanding for the period presented. We believe that Adjusted FFO per Share is a useful financial measure for evaluating the Company’s ongoing operating performance.

Relationship Between CAP and Performance Matters

 

The following graphs illustrate the relationship, during the period from January 1, 2020 through December 31, 2025, of the CAP to our Chief Executive Officer and the average CAP to our other NEOs (each as set forth in the table above), to (i) our cumulative TSR and the cumulative TSR of the constituent companies in the FTSE NAREIT Lodging/Resorts Index, (ii) our Net Income, and (iii) our Adjusted FFO per share (as set forth in the table above). Excluding fiscal year 2020 which was greatly affected by the impact of the unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic, we believe the Paid versus TSR graph shows the alignment between the CAP to the CEO and (i) the Average CAP to the Other NEOs and (ii) the Company’s performance, which is consistent with our compensation philosophy as described in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis sections of the proxy statement.

Financial Performance Measures

 

The Compensation Committee believes that our NEO’s compensation should align such compensation with the Company’s performance. As such, the Compensation Committee uses a mix of financial performance measures to ensure alignment of our executives’ pay with Company performance. As required by SEC rules, the most important financial performance measures used by the Company in setting pay for performance compensation for the most recently completed fiscal year are set forth in the table below. For a further description of the manner in which these measures, together with certain non-financial performance measures, determine the amounts of incentive compensation that are paid to our NEOs, see the Compensation Discussion and Analysis sections of this Proxy Statement.
