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 STR, LLC. 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”). Terms such as the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our” refer 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 Lodging & Hospitality, LLC (“Remington Hotels”), a subsidiary of Ashford Inc., manages four of our 16 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 and brokerage 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 March 31, 2023, own 16 hotel properties in seven states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands (“USVI”). The portfolio includes 14 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 4,192 total rooms, or 3,957 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 March 31, 2023, 15 of our 16 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 March 31, 2023, 13 of the 16 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”), Four Seasons Hotels Limited (“Four Seasons”), Hyatt Corporation (“Hyatt”), The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company, L.L.C. and its affiliates, each of which is also an affiliate of Marriott (“Ritz-Carlton”) and Remington Hotels, which are eligible independent contractors under the Code.

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 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

BRAEMAR HOTELS & RESORTS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

(unaudited)

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 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 10, 2023.

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 months ended March 31, 2023, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023;

•on March 11, 2022, we acquired The Ritz-Carlton Reserve Dorado Beach hotel located in Dorado, Puerto Rico. The operating results of the hotel property have been included in the results of operations from its acquisition date; and

•on December 1, 2022, we acquired the Four Seasons Resort Scottsdale at Troon North located in Scottsdale, Arizona. The operating results of the hotel property have been included in the results of operations from its acquisition date.

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 March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) (“ASU 2020-04”), 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 ASU 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848), 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. In December 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-06, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) (“ASU 2022-06”), which deferred the sunset date of Topic 848 from December 31, 2022 to December 31, 2024. The Company applied the optional expedient in evaluating debt modifications converting from London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) to Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”). The Company adopted the standards upon the respective effective dates. There was no material impact as a result of this adoption.

(4)On April 18, 2023, we amended this mortgage loan. Terms of the amendment replaced the variable interest rate of LIBOR +2.55% with SOFR+2.65%, extended the current maturity date to November 2023, and added one six-month extension option, subject to satisfaction of certain conditions.

(5)This mortgage loan has five one-year extension options, subject to satisfaction of certain conditions, of which the third was exercised in June 2022.

(6)This mortgage loan has three one-year extension options, subject to satisfaction of certain conditions, of which the second was exercised in August 2022. This mortgage loan has a LIBOR floor of 1.00%.

(7)This mortgage loan has three one-year extension options, subject to satisfaction of certain conditions.

During the second and third quarters of 2020, we reached forbearance and other agreements with our lenders relating to loans secured by the Pier House Resort & Spa, The Ritz-Carlton Sarasota, The Ritz-Carlton Lake Tahoe, Hotel Yountville, Bardessono Hotel and Spa, Sofitel Chicago Magnificent Mile, The Notary Hotel, The Clancy, Marriott Seattle Waterfront, Capital Hilton and Hilton La Jolla Torrey Pines. 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.

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 principal that was amortized was approximately $468,000 and $523,000, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022.

On January 18, 2023, the Company repaid its $54.0 million mortgage loan secured by The Ritz-Carlton Reserve Dorado Beach, which resulted in a gain on extinguishment of debt of $2.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The gain

was primarily attributable to the premium that was recorded upon the assumption of the mortgage loan when the hotel was acquired.

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.

The Convertible Senior Notes are governed by an 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 $970,000 and $970,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

The Company recorded discount amortization of $144,000 and $132,000 related to the initial purchase discount for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, with the remaining discount balance to be amortized through June 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.

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 March 31, 2023, 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, which include interest rate caps. All derivatives are recorded at fair value. Payments from counterparties on in-the-money interest rate caps are recognized as realized gains on our consolidated statements of operations.

The following table summarizes the interest rate derivatives we entered into over the applicable periods:

	Three Months Ended March 31,
Interest rate caps:(1)	2023			2022
Notional amount (in thousands)	$	54,000		$	70,500

(1)No instruments were designated as cash flow hedges.

Warrants—On August 5, 2021, as part of the consideration paid to acquire the Mr. C Beverly Hills Hotel and five adjacent luxury residences, the Company issued 500,000 warrants for the purchase of Braemar common stock with a $6.00 strike price on or after August 5, 2021 until August 5, 2024. The holder can choose to exercise the warrant by cash or by net issue exercise, in which event the Company shall issue to the holder a number of warrant shares which reflect the fair market value of the Company’s common stock. As of March 31, 2023, no warrants have been exercised.

The initial fair value of the warrant was calculated using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: three-year contractual term; 97.93% volatility; 0% dividend rate; and a risk-free interest rate of 0.38%. The estimated fair value of the warrants was approximately $1.5 million on the date of issuance. The warrants are re-valued at each reporting period with the change in fair value recorded through earnings.

In applying the guidance in ASC 815, it was determined that the warrants should be classified as a liability as a result of certain settlement provisions. The warrants are included in derivative liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets and changes in value are reported as a component of “realized and unrealized gain (loss) on derivatives” on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. This is a Level 2 valuation technique.

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 marketplace 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.

The fair value of interest rate caps are determined using the market standard methodology of discounting the future expected cash receipts that would occur if variable interest rates rose above the strike rates of the caps. Variable interest rates used in the calculation of projected receipts and payments on the caps are based on an expectation of future interest rates derived from observable market interest rate curves (LIBOR/SOFR forward curves) and volatilities (Level 2 inputs). We also incorporate credit valuation adjustments (Level 3 inputs) to appropriately reflect both our own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk.

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 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 March 31, 2023, the LIBOR/SOFR interest rate forward curve (Level 2 inputs) assumed a downtrend from 4.858% to 3.125% for the remaining term

14

BRAEMAR HOTELS & RESORTS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

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.

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.

The carrying amounts and estimated fair values of financial instruments were as follows (in thousands):

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 and derivative liabilities. 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 90.6% to 100.2% of the carrying value of $1.3 billion at March 31, 2023, and approximately 92.0% to 101.6% of the carrying value of $1.3 billion at December 31, 2022. 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 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. As of March 31, 2023, there were approximately 2.4 million Performance LTIP units, representing 200% of the target, outstanding.

With respect to the 2021, 2022 and 2023 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. The performance criteria for the 2021, 2022 and 2023 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 applicable measurement 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.

In March 2023, the Company granted approximately 353,000 Performance LTIP units, representing 200% of the target, and a vesting period of approximately three years. As of March 31, 2023, the Company does not have sufficient shares of common stock available under its incentive stock plan to settle any future redemptions of the Performance LTIP units, upon reaching the conditions required for redemption. As a result, the 2023 awards are classified as liability awards on the condensed consolidated balance sheet and are included in “due to Ashford Inc., net” on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The 2023 awards are subject to remeasurement each reporting period. The fair value of the awards as of March 31, 2023 was $3.86 per share.

As of March 31, 2023, we have issued a total of approximately 3.8 million LTIP and Performance LTIP units, net of Performance LTIP cancellations. All LTIP and Performance LTIP units, other than approximately 569,000 LTIP units and 1.2 million Performance LTIP units issued from March 2015 to March 2023, had reached full economic parity with, and are convertible into, common units.

The following table presents the redeemable noncontrolling interests in Braemar OP and the corresponding approximate ownership percentage of our operating partnership:

	March 31, 2023			December 31, 2022
Redeemable noncontrolling interests in Braemar OP (in thousands)	$	34,820		$	40,555
Adjustments to redeemable noncontrolling interests (1) (in thousands)	$	66		$	70
Ownership percentage of operating partnership	7.47		%	7.69		%

Net (income) loss attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interests in operating partnership	$	(261)	$	(967)
Distributions declared to holders of common units, LTIP units and Performance LTIP units	$	361	$	83

On February 24, 2023, at the option of Mr. Monty J. Bennett, Mr. Bennett’s 169,523 vested LTIP units that achieved economic parity with his common units were redeemed for common units on a one-for-one basis. On February 24, 2023, the Company received a Notice of Exercise of Redemption Right (the “Redemption Notice”), pursuant to which Mr. Bennett elected to redeem the common units and such redemption was settled in cash at the Company’s election based on the average of the closing price of the Company’s common stock for the ten consecutive trading days ending on February 23, 2023. Additionally, on February 24, 2023, Mr. Bennett elected to redeem an additional 1,254,254 common units and following receipt of the Redemption Notice, such redemption was settled in cash at the Company’s election at a price per common unit based on the average of the closing price of the Company’s common stock for the ten consecutive trading days ending on February 23, 2023. The cash redemption for the 1,423,777 common units totaled approximately $7.0 million.

Restricted Stock—We incur stock-based compensation expense in connection with restricted stock 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.

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 2021, 2022 and 2023 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. The performance criteria for the 2021, 2022 and 2023 performance grants are based on performance conditions under the relevant literature, and the 2021, 2022 and 2023 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 corresponding measurement 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.

In March 2023, 383,000 PSUs with a vesting period of approximately three years were granted. The 2023 awards may be settled in cash or shares of the Company’s common stock solely at the option of the Company. As of March 31, 2023, the Company does not have sufficient shares available under its incentive stock plan to settle the 2023 awards in shares of the Company’s common stock. As a result, the 2023 awards are classified as liability awards and are included in “due to Ashford Inc., net” on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The 2023 awards are subject to remeasurement each reporting period. The fair value of the awards as of March 31, 2023 was $2.8 million.

8.25% Series D Cumulative Preferred Stock—The dividend for all issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s Series D Cumulative Preferred Stock (the “Series D Preferred Stock”) is set at $2.0625 per annum per share.

The board of directors’ authorization replaced any previous repurchase authorizations. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we repurchased 3.9 million shares of our common stock for approximately $18.9 million.

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 fifth 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, PSUs and LTIP units awarded to officers and employees of Ashford LLC in connection with providing advisory services.

Pursuant to the Company's hotel management agreements with each hotel management company, the Company bears the economic burden for casualty insurance coverage. Under the advisory agreement, Ashford Inc. secures casualty insurance policies to cover Braemar, Ashford Hospitality Trust, Inc. (“Ashford Trust”), their hotel managers, as needed, and Ashford Inc. The total loss estimates included in such policies are based on the collective pool of risk exposures from each party. Ashford Inc.'s risk management department manages the casualty insurance program. Each year Ashford Inc.'s risk 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.

On September 27, 2022, an agreement was entered into by Ashford Inc., Ashford Trust and Braemar pursuant to which the Advisor is to implement the REITs' cash management strategies. This will include actively managing the REITs excess cash by primarily investing in short-term U.S. Treasury securities. The annual fee is 20 bps of the average daily balance of the funds managed by the Advisor and is payable monthly in arrears.

As of March 31, 2023, “due to Ashford Inc.” includes a $365,000 security deposit paid to Remington Hotel Corporation (“RHC”) for office space allocated to us under our advisory agreement. It will be held as security for the payment of our

allocated share of the office space rental. If unused it will be returned to us upon lease expiration or earlier termination. As of December 31, 2022, RHC was indirectly owned by Mr. Monty J. Bennett and Mr. Archie Bennett, Jr. and the $365,000 was included in “due from related parties, net.” On January 3, 2023, Ashford Inc. acquired RHC.

On March 10, 2022, the Company entered into a Limited Waiver Under Advisory Agreement (the “2022 Limited Waiver”) with Braemar OP, Braemar TRS and its advisor. The advisory agreement (i) allocates responsibility for certain employee costs between the Company and its advisor and (ii) permits the Company’s board of directors to issue annual equity awards in the Company or Braemar OP to employees and other representatives of its advisor based on achievement by the Company of certain financial or other objectives or otherwise as the Company’s board of directors sees fit. Pursuant to the 2022 Limited Waiver, the Company, Braemar OP, Braemar TRS and the Company’s advisor waived the operation of any provision in the advisory agreement that would otherwise have limited our ability, in our discretion and at our cost and expense, to award during the first and second fiscal quarters of calendar year 2022 cash incentive compensation to employees and other representatives of our advisor.

On March 2, 2023, the Company entered into a second Limited Waiver Under Advisory Agreement (the “2023 Limited Waiver”) with Braemar OP, Braemar TRS and its advisor. Pursuant to the 2023 Limited Waiver, the Company, Braemar OP, Braemar TRS and the Company’s advisor waived the operation of any provision in the advisory agreement that would otherwise limit our ability, in our discretion and at our cost and expense, to award during the first and second fiscal quarters of calendar year 2023 cash incentive compensation to employees and other representatives of our advisor.

Lismore

We engage Lismore or its subsidiaries to provide debt placement services and assist with loan modifications on our behalf. During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, we made payments of $0 and $637,000, respectively, to Lismore or its subsidiaries.

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 (collectively, the “Parties” and each individually a “Party”) with respect to funding certain expenses of Ashford Securities LLC, a subsidiary of Ashford Inc. (“Ashford Securities”). 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 capital raised, or June 10, 2023, there will be a true up (the “Amended and Restated True-Up Date”) among Ashford Inc., Ashford Trust and Braemar whereby the actual amount contributed by each company will be based on the actual amount of capital raised by Ashford Inc., Ashford Trust and Braemar, respectively, through Ashford Securities (the resulting ratio of contributions among the Parties, the “Initial True-up Ratio”). On January 27, 2022, Ashford Trust, Braemar and Ashford Inc. entered into a Second Amended and Restated Contribution Agreement which provided for an additional $18 million in expenses to be reimbursed with all expenses allocated 45% to Ashford Trust, 45% to Braemar and 10% to Ashford Inc.

On February 1, 2023, Braemar entered into a Third Amended and Restated Contribution Agreement with Ashford Inc. and Ashford Trust. The Third Amended and Restated Contribution Agreement states that after the Amended and Restated True-Up Date occurs, capital contributions for the remainder of fiscal year 2023 will be divided between each Party based on the Initial True-Up Ratio. Thereafter on a yearly basis at year-end, starting with the year-end of 2023, there will be a true-up between the Parties whereby there will be adjustments so that the capital contributions made by each Party will be based on the cumulative amount of capital raised by each Party through Ashford Securities as a percentage of the total amount raised by the Parties collectively through Ashford Securities since June 10, 2019 (the resulting ratio of capital contributions among Braemar, Ashford Inc. and Ashford Trust following this true-up, the “Cumulative Ratio”). Thereafter, the capital contributions will be divided among each Party in accordance with the Cumulative Ratio, as recalculated at the end of each year.

During the year ended December 31, 2022, the funding estimate was revised based on the latest capital raise estimates of the aggregate capital raised through Ashford Securities. As of December 31, 2022, Braemar had funded approximately $5.8 million and had a payable, included in “due to Ashford Inc., net” on the condensed consolidated balance sheet, of approximately $6.6 million. In March 2023, Braemar paid Ashford Inc. $8.7 million as a result of the contribution true-up between entities described above. As of March 31, 2023, Braemar has funded approximately $15.9 million. As of March 31, 2023, Braemar has a pre-funded balance of approximately $2.1 million that is included in “other assets” and approximately $343,000 that is included in “due to Ashford Inc., net” on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Design and Construction Services

Premier Project Management LLC (“Premier”), as a subsidiary of Ashford Inc., 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).

Hotel Management Services

At March 31, 2023, Remington Hotels managed four of our 16 hotel properties.

We pay monthly hotel management fees equal to the greater of approximately $16,000 per hotel (increased annually based on consumer price index adjustments) or 3% of gross revenues as well as annual incentive management fees, if certain operational criteria were met and other general and administrative expense reimbursements primarily related to accounting services.

15. Commitments and Contingencies

Restricted Cash—Under certain management and debt agreements for our hotel properties existing at March 31, 2023, 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 3% to 5% of gross revenues for capital improvements.

Licensing Fees—In conjunction with the Mr. C Beverly Hills Hotel acquisition on August 5, 2021, we entered into an Intellectual Property Sublease Agreement, which allows us to continue to use certain proprietary marks associated with the Mr. C brand name. In return, we pay licensing fees of: (i) 1% of total operating revenue; (ii) 2% of gross food and beverage revenues; and (iii) 25% of food and beverage profits. The agreement expires on August 5, 2023.

The table below summarizes the licensing fees incurred (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended March 31,
Line Item	2023		2022
Other hotel expenses	$	202	$	102

Management Fees—Under hotel management agreements for our hotel properties existing at March 31, 2023, we pay a monthly hotel management fee equal to the greater of approximately $16,000 per hotel (increased annually based on consumer price index adjustments) or 3% of gross revenues, or in some cases 3.0% to 5.0% of gross revenues, as well as annual incentive management fees, if applicable. These management agreements expire from December 2027 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 2018 through 2022 remain subject to potential examination by certain federal and state taxing authorities.

Litigation—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

27

BRAEMAR HOTELS & RESORTS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

(unaudited)

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: (i) 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 (ii) 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. The opt out period has been extended until such time that discovery has concluded. If this litigation goes to trial, we expect that the earliest the trial would occur is the last quarter of 2023, based on various extensions to which the parties have agreed. 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 that any potential loss to the Company is reasonably estimable at this time. As of March 31, 2023, 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 March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, all of our hotel properties were in the U.S. and its territories.

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 STR, LLC. Two times the U.S. national average was $187 for the year ended December 31, 2022. 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 March 31, 2023, we owned interests in 16 hotel properties in seven states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands with 4,192 total rooms, or 3,957 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 14 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 March 31, 2023, Remington Hotels, a subsidiary of Ashford Inc., managed four of our 16 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 and brokerage 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 March 31, 2023, owned approximately 610,261 shares of Ashford Inc. common stock, which represented an approximate 19.1% ownership interest in Ashford Inc., and owned 18,758,600 shares of Ashford Inc. Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, which, along with all unpaid accrued and accumulated dividends thereon, was convertible (at a conversion price of $117.50 per share) into an additional approximate 4,148,178 shares of Ashford Inc. common stock, which if converted as of March 31, 2023

30

would have increased the Bennetts’ ownership interest in Ashford Inc. to 64.8%, 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 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 March 31, 2023, Mr. Monty J. Bennett, chairman of our board of directors and his father, Mr. Archie Bennett, Jr., together owned approximately 3,059,526 shares of our common stock (including common units, long-term incentive plan (“LTIP”) units and performance LTIP units), which represented an approximate 4.2% ownership in the Company.

Recent Developments

On December 7, 2022, our board of directors approved a new 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, having an aggregate value of up to $25 million. The board of directors’ authorization replaced any previous repurchase authorizations. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we repurchased 3.9 million shares of our common stock for approximately $18.9 million. As of March 31, 2023, the Company has completed the $25.0 million repurchase authorization.

On January 18, 2023, the Company paid its $54.0 million mortgage loan secured by The Ritz-Carlton Reserve Dorado Beach, which resulted in a gain on extinguishment of debt of $2.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The gain was primarily attributable to the premium that was recorded upon the assumption of the mortgage loan when the hotel was acquired.

On February 24, 2023, at the option of Mr. Monty J. Bennett, Mr. Bennett’s 169,523 vested LTIP units that achieved economic parity with his common units were redeemed for common units on a one-for-one basis. On February 24, 2023, the Company received a Notice of Exercise of Redemption Right (the “Redemption Notice”), pursuant to which Mr. Bennett elected to redeem the common units and such redemption was settled in cash at the Company’s election based on the average of the closing price of the Company’s common stock for the ten consecutive trading days ending on February 23, 2023. Additionally, on February 24, 2023, Mr. Bennett elected to redeem an additional 1,254,254 common units and following receipt of the Redemption Notice, such redemption was settled in cash at the Company’s election at a price per common unit based on the average of the closing price of the Company’s common stock for the ten consecutive trading days ending on February 23, 2023. The cash redemption for the 1,423,777 common units totaled approximately $7.0 million. Additionally, based on information previously reported by Mr. Bennett in a Form 4 filed on March 1, 2023, Mr. Bennett subsequently sold 417,491 shares of common stock beneficially owned by him into the public markets.

On March 2, 2023, the Company entered into a second Limited Waiver Under Advisory Agreement (the “2023 Limited Waiver”) with Braemar OP, Braemar TRS and its advisor. Pursuant to the 2023 Limited Waiver, the Company, Braemar OP, Braemar TRS and the Company’s advisor waived the operation of any provision in the advisory agreement that would otherwise limit our ability, in our discretion and at our cost and expense, to award during the first and second fiscal quarters of calendar year 2023 cash incentive compensation to employees and other representatives of our advisor.

On April 4, 2023, the Company amended the mortgage loan secured by The Ritz-Carlton Sarasota. Terms of the amendment replaced the variable interest rate of LIBOR +2.65% with SOFR+2.75%, extended the current maturity date to October 2023, and added one six-month extension option, subject to satisfaction of certain conditions. The Company paid Lismore approximately $99,000 for the successful execution of the Ritz-Carlton Sarasota loan modification and extension.

On April 18, 2023, the Company amended the mortgage loan secured by Hotel Yountville. Terms of the amendment replaced the variable interest rate of LIBOR +2.55% with SOFR+2.65%, extended the current maturity date to November 2023, and added one six-month extension option, subject to satisfaction of certain conditions.

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:

31

•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.”

________

(1)This hotel was under renovation during the 2023 quarter.

(2)This hotel was under renovation during the 2022 quarter.

Food and Beverage Revenue. Food and beverage revenue increased $15.5 million, or 42.3%, to $52.2 million during the 2023 quarter compared to the 2022 quarter. We experienced an aggregate increase in food and beverage revenue of $6.2 million at nine comparable hotel properties as well as increases of $3.7 million and $6.5 million at The Ritz-Carlton Reserve Dorado Beach and the Four Seasons Resort Scottsdale, respectively. These increases are partially offset by an aggregate decrease of approximately $980,000 at The Ritz-Carlton St. Thomas, The Ritz-Carlton Lake Tahoe, Bardessono Hotel and Spa, Hotel Yountville and Mr. C Beverly Hills Hotel.

Other Hotel Revenue. Other hotel revenue, which consists mainly of condo management fees, health center fees, resort fees, golf, telecommunications, parking and rentals, increased $5.6 million, or 27.9%, to $25.5 million during the 2023 quarter compared to the 2022 quarter.

The increase is attributable to higher other hotel revenue of $1.3 million at ten comparable hotel properties, $2.2 million at The Ritz-Carlton Reserve Dorado Beach and $2.6 million at the Four Seasons Resort Scottsdale. These increases were partially offset by an aggregate decrease of approximately $621,000 at The Ritz-Carlton Sarasota, Pier House Resort & Spa, Bardessono Hotel and Spa, Park Hyatt Beaver Creek Resort & Spa.

Rooms Expense. Rooms expense increased $7.2 million, or 35.5%, to $27.4 million in the 2023 quarter compared to the 2022 quarter. The increase is attributable to an aggregate increase in rooms expense of $3.4 million at 11 comparable hotel properties, an increase of $1.8 million at The Ritz-Carlton Reserve Dorado Beach and an increase of $2.3 million at the Four Seasons Resort Scottsdale. These increases were partially offset by an aggregate decrease of approximately $294,000 at The Ritz-Carlton St. Thomas, Pier House Resort & Spa and Bardessono Hotel and Spa.

Food and Beverage Expense. Food and beverage expense increased $11.7 million, or 41.8%, to $39.7 million during the 2023 quarter compared to the 2022 quarter. The increase is attributable to higher food and beverage expense of $4.2 million at nine comparable hotel properties,$3.4 million at The Ritz-Carlton Reserve Dorado Beach and $4.6 million at the Four Seasons Resort Scottsdale. These increases were partially offset by an aggregate decrease of approximately $488,000 at The Ritz-Carlton St. Thomas, The Ritz-Carlton Lake Tahoe, Pier House Resort & Spa, Hotel Yountville and Mr. C Beverly Hills Hotel.

35

Other Operating Expenses. Other operating expenses increased $16.1 million, or 34.8%, to $62.3 million in the 2023 quarter compared to the 2022 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 $2.2 million in direct expenses and $13.9 million in indirect expenses and incentive management fees in the 2023 quarter compared to the 2022 quarter.

Direct expenses were 4.2% of total hotel revenue in the 2023 quarter and 4.2% in the 2022 quarter. The increase in direct expenses is associated with higher direct expenses of approximately $392,000 at ten comparable hotel properties, $1.2 million at The Ritz-Carlton Reserve Dorado Beach and $760,000 at the Four Seasons Resort Scottsdale. These increases were partially offset by lower direct expenses of $180,000 at the Sofitel Chicago Magnificent Mile, The Ritz-Carlton Sarasota, The Ritz-Carlton St. Thomas and Mr. C Beverly Hills Hotel.

The increase in indirect expenses is attributable to increases in (i) general and administrative costs of $5.9 million comprising an increase of $2.5 million at our 14 comparable hotel properties and $3.3 million at the two acquired hotel properties; (ii) marketing costs of $4.3 million comprising an increase of $2.3 million at our 14 comparable hotel properties and $2.0 million at the two acquired hotel properties; (iii) repairs and maintenance of $1.5 million comprising an increase of $207,000 at our 14 comparable hotel properties and $1.3 million at the two acquired hotel properties; (iv) lease expense of $167,000 comprising an increase of $93,000 at our 14 comparable hotel properties and $74,000 at the two acquired hotel properties; (v) energy costs of $1.6 million comprised of an increase of $571,000 at our 14 comparable hotel properties and $1.0 million at our two acquired hotel properties; and (vi) incentive management fees of $493,000 comprising an aggregate increase of $1.3 million at the two acquired hotel properties partially offset by an aggregate decrease of $769,000 at our 14 comparable hotel properties.

Management Fees. Base management fees increased $2.6 million, or 61.6%, to $6.7 million in the 2023 quarter compared to the 2022 quarter. Management fees increased approximately $1.7 million at seven comparable hotel properties, $492,000 at The Ritz-Carlton Reserve Dorado Beach and $699,000 at the Four Seasons Resort Scottsdale. These increases were partially offset by an aggregate decrease of $310,000 at the seven remaining comparable hotel properties.

Property Taxes, Insurance and Other. Property taxes, insurance and other decreased $487,000, or 5.7%, to $8.1 million in the 2023 quarter compared to the 2022 quarter. The decrease primarily resulted from an aggregate decrease of $2.4 million at five hotel properties, including a $2.3 million decrease at the Sofitel Chicago Magnificent Mile due to a lower property tax assessment. The decrease is partially offset by increases of $419,000 at The Ritz-Carlton Reserve Dorado Beach and $257,000 at the Four Seasons Resort Scottsdale as a result of their acquisitions, as well as an aggregate increase of approximately $1.2 million at Capital Hilton, Hilton La Jolla Torrey Pines, The Clancy, Marriott Seattle Waterfront, Pier House Resort & Spa, Bardessono Hotel and Spa, Hotel Yountville, The Ritz-Carlton Sarasota and The Ritz-Carlton Lake Tahoe.

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization increased $4.1 million, or 22.1%, to $22.5 million for the 2023 quarter compared to the 2022 quarter. The increase comprised $1.3 million at The Ritz-Carlton Reserve Dorado Beach and $2.3 million at the Four Seasons Resort Scottsdale as a result of their acquisitions as well as an aggregate increase of $1.7 million at eight comparable hotel properties. These increases were partially offset by an aggregate decrease of $1.2 million at the Marriott Seattle Waterfront, The Clancy, Marriott Seattle Waterfront, Bardessono Hotel and Spa, Hotel Yountville and Mr. C Beverly Hills Hotel primarily due to fully depreciated assets.

Advisory Services Fee. Advisory services fee increased $626,000, or 8.5%, to $7.9 million in the 2023 quarter compared to the 2022 quarter due to increases in the base advisory fee of $701,000, reimbursable expenses of $926,000, partially offset by decreases in equity-based compensation of $24,000 and incentive fee of $977,000.

In the 2023 quarter, we recorded an advisory services fee of $7.9 million, which included a base advisory fee of $3.6 million, reimbursable expenses of $2.0 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 2022 quarter, we recorded an advisory services fee of $7.3 million, which included a base advisory fee of $2.9 million, reimbursable expenses of $1.1 million, $2.3 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 $977,000.

Corporate General and Administrative. Corporate general and administrative expense was $2.8 million in the 2023 quarter compared to $2.5 million in the 2022 quarter. The increase in corporate general and administrative expenses is primarily due to higher reimbursed operating expenses of Ashford Securities of $667,000, partially offset by lower professional fees of $98,000, public company costs of $213,000 and miscellaneous expenses of $31,000.

36

Equity in Earnings (Loss) of Unconsolidated Entity. In the 2023 quarter and the 2022 quarter, we recorded equity in loss of unconsolidated entity of $73,000 and $72,000, respectively, related to our investment in OpenKey.

Interest Income. Interest income was $2.1 million and $25,000 in the 2023 quarter and the 2022 quarter, respectively. The increase in interest income in the 2023 quarter was primarily attributable to higher short-term interest rates on excess cash and the Company’s cash management agreement with Ashford LLC.

Interest Expense and Amortization of Discounts and Loan Costs. Interest expense and amortization of discounts and loan costs increased $14.4 million, or 168.4%, to $22.9 million for the 2023 quarter compared to the 2022 quarter. The increase is primarily due to higher interest expense from a higher average LIBOR/SOFR rate and the mortgage loans associated with The Ritz-Carlton Reserve Dorado Beach and the Four Seasons Resort Scottsdale. The average LIBOR rates for the 2023 quarter and the 2022 quarter were 4.62% and 0.23%, respectively. The average SOFR rates for the 2023 quarter and the 2022 quarter were 4.50% and 0.09%, respectively.

Write-off of Loan Costs and Exit Fees. Write-off of loan costs and exit fees was $12,000 in the 2023 quarter related to The Ritz-Carlton Lake Tahoe mortgage loan SOFR conversion.

Write-off of loan costs and exit fees was $76,000 in the 2022 quarter resulting from the refinance of the Park Hyatt Beaver Creek Resort & Spa in February 2022.

Gain (loss) on Extinguishment of Debt. Gain on extinguishment of debt was $2.3 million in the 2023 quarter due to the payoff of The Ritz-Carlton Reserve Dorado Beach mortgage loan. The gain was primarily attributable to the premium that was recorded upon the assumption of the mortgage loan when the hotel was acquired. There was no such gain or loss in the 2022 quarter.

Realized and Unrealized Gain (Loss) on Derivatives. Realized and unrealized loss on derivatives of $334,000 for the 2023 quarter consisted of unrealized loss on interest rate caps of approximately $2.3 million, partially offset by unrealized gain on warrants of approximately $103,000, and a realized gain of $1.9 million associated with payments received from counterparties on interest rate caps.

Realized and unrealized gain on derivatives of $408,000 for the 2022 quarter consisted of an unrealized gain of approximately $843,000 on interest rate caps, partially offset by an unrealized loss of approximately $435,000 on warrants.

Income Tax (Expense) Benefit. Income tax expense decreased $282,000, from $2.6 million in the 2022 quarter to $2.3 million in the 2023 quarter. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in the taxable income of certain of our TRS entities in the 2023 quarter compared to the 2022 quarter.

(Income) Loss Attributable to Noncontrolling Interest in Consolidated Entities. Our noncontrolling interest partner in consolidated entities was allocated income of $309,000 and a loss of $26,000 in the 2023 quarter and the 2022 quarter, respectively. At both March 31, 2023 and 2022, 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 net income of $261,000 in the 2023 quarter and $967,000 in the 2022 quarter. Redeemable noncontrolling interests represented ownership interests in Braemar OP of approximately 7.47% and 7.84% as of March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

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;

•dividends on our common stock;

•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.

37

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, 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 and paydowns for extension tests), 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 declines. 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 one mortgage loan, as discussed below. Our loan that is in a cash trap may remain subject to the cash trap provisions for a substantial period of time which could limit our flexibility and adversely affect our financial condition or our qualification as a REIT. As of March 31, 2023, our $435 million mortgage loan was in a cash trap and approximately $440,000 of our restricted cash was subject to this cash trap.

As of March 31, 2023, the Company held cash and cash equivalents of $281.5 million and restricted cash of $63.1 million, the vast majority of which is comprised of lender and manager-held reserves. As of March 31, 2023, $19.1 million was also due to the Company from third-party hotel managers, most of which is held by one of the Company’s managers and is available to fund hotel operating costs. At March 31, 2023, our net debt to gross assets was 37.1%.

The Company's cash and cash equivalents are primarily comprised of corporate cash invested in short-term U.S. Treasury securities with maturity dates of less than 90 days and corporate cash held at commercial banks in Insured Cash Sweep (“ICS”) accounts, which are fully insured by the FDIC. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents also includes property-level operating cash deposited with commercial banks that have been designated as a Global Systemically Important Bank (“G-SIB”) by the Financial Stability Board (“FSB”) and a small amount deposited with other commercial banks.

Equity Transactions

On December 7, 2022, our board of directors approved a new 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, having an aggregate value of up to $25 million. The board of directors’ authorization replaced any previous repurchase authorizations. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we repurchased 3.9 million shares of our common stock for approximately $18.9 million. As of March 31, 2023, the Company has completed the $25.0 million repurchase authorization.

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 Redeemable Preferred Stock (the “Series E Preferred Stock”) and our non-traded Series M Redeemable Preferred Stock (the “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 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 the 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 (the “SDAT”) 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 (the “Series E Articles Supplementary”); and (iii) reclassifying and designating 28,000,000 shares of the Company’s authorized capital stock as shares of the Series M Preferred Stock (the “Series M Articles Supplementary”). The Series E Articles Supplementary and Series M Articles Supplementary were filed to revise the preferred stock terms related to the dividend rate, our 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 agreement to conform to the terms of the Series E Articles Supplementary and Series M Articles Supplementary. On February 21, 2023, the Company announced the closing of its offering of the Series E Preferred Stock and Series M Preferred Stock. The Company issued approximately 16.4 million shares of Series E Preferred Stock and received net proceeds of approximately $369.5 million and issued approximately 2.0 million shares of Series M Preferred Stock and received net proceeds of approximately $47.6 million.

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” means the lowest daily VWAP 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.

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 May 4, 2023, the Company has sold approximately 1.7 million shares of common stock and received proceeds of approximately $10.0 million under the SEDA.

On April 21, 2021, the Company entered into a purchase agreement (the “Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement”) with Lincoln Park Capital Fund, LLC (“Lincoln Park”), pursuant to which the Company may issue or sell to Lincoln Park up to 8,893,565 shares of the Company’s common stock from time to time during the term of the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement. The issuance of the shares of common stock pursuant to the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement has been registered pursuant to the Company’s shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (the “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. The Company and Lincoln Park also entered into a registration rights agreement, pursuant to which the Company agreed to maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement. Upon entering into the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement, the Company issued 15,000 shares of the Company’s common stock as consideration for Lincoln Park’s execution and delivery of the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement. As of May 4, 2023, the Company has issued approximately 766,000 shares of common stock for gross proceeds of approximately $4.2 million under the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement.

On July 12, 2021, the Company entered into an equity distribution agreement (the “Virtu July 2021 EDA”) with Virtu to sell from time to time shares of our common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $100 million. 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 May 4, 2023, the Company has sold approximately 4.7 million shares of common stock under the Virtu July 2021 EDA and received gross proceeds of approximately $24.0 million.

Debt Transactions

On January 18, 2023, the Company repaid its $54.0 million mortgage loan secured by The Ritz-Carlton Reserve Dorado Beach, which resulted in a gain on extinguishment of debt of $2.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The gain was primarily attributable to the premium that was recorded upon the assumption of the mortgage loan when the hotel was acquired.

On April 4, 2023, the Company amended the mortgage loan secured by The Ritz-Carlton Sarasota. Terms of the amendment replaced the variable interest rate of LIBOR +2.65% with SOFR+2.75%, extended the current maturity date to October 2023, and added one six-month extension option, subject to satisfaction of certain conditions. The Company paid Lismore approximately $99,000 for the successful execution of the Ritz-Carlton Sarasota loan modification and extension.

On April 18, 2023, the Company amended the mortgage loan secured by Hotel Yountville. Terms of the amendment replaced the variable interest rate of LIBOR +2.55% with SOFR+2.65%, extended the current maturity date to November 2023, and added one six-month extension option, subject to satisfaction of certain conditions.

Sources and Uses of Cash

We had approximately $281.5 million and $261.5 million of cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, 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 operating activities were $42.3 million and $28.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Cash flows from operations were impacted by changes in hotel operations of our 14 comparable hotel properties, The Ritz-Carlton Reserve Dorado Beach, acquired on March 11, 2022, and the Four Seasons Resort Scottsdale, acquired on December 1, 2022. 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 and settling with hotel managers.

Net Cash Flows Provided by (Used in) Investing Activities. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, net cash flows used in investing activities were $18.7 million. These cash outflows were primarily attributable to $18.7 million of capital improvements made to various hotel properties and a $99,000 loan to OpenKey partially offset by cash inflows of $75,000 related to proceeds from property insurance. Our capital improvements consisted of approximately $13.8 million of return on investment capital projects and approximately $4.9 million of renewal and replacement capital projects.

For the three months ended March 31, 2022, net cash flows used in investing activities were $97.7 million. These cash outflows were primarily attributable to $10.8 million of capital improvements made to various hotel properties and approximately $87.0 million associated with the acquisition of The Ritz-Carlton Reserve Dorado Beach. Our capital improvements consisted of $7.5 million of return on investment capital projects and $3.3 million of renewal and replacement capital projects.

Return on investment capital projects are designed to improve the positioning of our hotel properties within their markets and competitive set. Renewal and replacement capital projects are designed to maintain the quality and competitiveness of our hotels.

Net Cash Flows Provided by Financing Activities. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, net cash flows provided by financing activities were $5.3 million. Cash inflows primarily consisted of $98.0 million from the issuance of preferred stock and $1.6 million of proceeds from in-the-money interest rate caps. The cash inflows were partially offset by repayments of indebtedness of $54.3 million, $12.6 million of dividend and distribution payments, $19.0 million of payments to repurchase common stock, payments of $7.0 million for the redemption of operating partnership units, $755,000 to purchase interest rate caps and $307,000 for cash redemptions of Series E and Series M preferred stock.

40

For the three months ended March 31, 2022, net cash flows provided by financing activities were $31.9 million. Cash inflows primarily consisted of debt borrowings of $70.5 million, $33.7 million from the issuance of preferred stock and contributions of $164,000 from a noncontrolling interest in consolidated entities. The cash inflows were partially offset by repayments of indebtedness of $67.8 million, $3.0 million of dividend and distribution payments and $1.7 million of payments for loan costs and fees.

Dividend Policy. On December 8, 2022, our board of directors approved the Company’s dividend policy for 2023. The Company expects to pay a quarterly cash dividend of $0.05 per share for the Company’s common stock for 2023, or $0.20 per share on an annualized basis. On January 11, 2023, our board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.05 per diluted share for the first quarter of 2023. The approval of our dividend policy does not commit our board of directors to declare future dividends with respect to any quantity or the amount thereof. The board will continue to review our dividend policy on a quarter-to-quarter basis and make announcements with respect thereto. For income tax purposes, distributions paid consist of ordinary income, capital gains, return of capital or a combination thereof.

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 pandemics, 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.

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 2022 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, 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 exclude impairment on real estate, (gain) loss on 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, advisory and settlement costs, advisory services incentive fee, gain/loss on extinguishment of debt, stock/unit-based compensation and the Company’s portion of adjustments to EBITDAre of OpenKey and non-cash items such as unrealized gain/ loss on derivatives.

We present EBITDA, EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre because we believe they are useful to an investor in evaluating our operating performance because it provides investors with an indication of our ability to incur and service debt, to satisfy general operating expenses, to make capital expenditures and to fund other cash needs or reinvest cash into our business. We also believe it helps investors meaningfully evaluate and compare the results of our operations from period to period by removing the effect of our asset base (primarily depreciation and amortization) from our operating results. Our management team also uses EBITDA as one measure in determining the value of acquisitions and dispositions. 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

41

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):

Adjusted EBITDAre	$	66,062	$	49,175

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 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 transaction and conversion costs, write-off of loan costs and exit fees, legal, advisory and settlement costs, advisory services incentive fee, stock/unit-based compensation, gain/loss on extinguishment of debt and non-cash items such as deemed dividends on redeemable preferred stock, interest expense accretion on refundable membership club deposits, amortization of loan costs, unrealized gain/loss on derivatives 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 present FFO and Adjusted FFO because we consider FFO and Adjusted FFO important supplemental measures of our operational performance and believe they are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of REITs, many of which present FFO and Adjusted FFO when reporting their results. FFO and Adjusted FFO are intended to exclude GAAP historical cost depreciation and amortization, which assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes ratably over time. Historically, however, real estate values have risen or fallen with market conditions. Because FFO and Adjusted FFO exclude depreciation and amortization related to real estate assets, gains and losses from real property dispositions and impairment losses on real estate assets, FFO and Adjusted FFO provide performance measures that, when compared year over year, reflect the effect to operations from trends in occupancy, guestroom rates, operating costs, development activities and interest costs, providing perspective not immediately apparent from net income. 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.

ITEM 3.QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

Our primary market risk exposure consists of changes in interest rates on borrowings under our debt instruments that bear interest at variable rates that fluctuate with market interest rates. To the extent that we acquire assets or conduct operations in an international jurisdiction, we will also have currency exchange risk. We may enter into certain hedging arrangements in order to manage interest rate and currency fluctuations. The analysis below presents the sensitivity of the market value of our financial instruments to selected changes in market interest rates.

At March 31, 2023, our total indebtedness of approximately $1.3 billion included approximately $1.2 billion of variable-rate debt. The impact on the results of operations of a 25-basis point change in the interest rate on the outstanding balance of variable-rate debt at March 31, 2023, would be approximately $3.0 million per year. However, we currently have various interest rate caps in place that limit this exposure. Interest rate changes have no impact on the remaining $86.3 million of fixed-rate debt.

The above amounts were determined based on the impact of hypothetical interest rates on our borrowings and assume no changes in our capital structure. The information presented above includes those exposures that existed at March 31, 2023, but it does not consider exposures or positions that could arise after that date. Accordingly, the information presented herein has limited predictive value. As a result, the ultimate realized gain or loss with respect to interest rate fluctuations will depend on exposures that arise during the period, the hedging strategies at the time, and the related interest rates.

ITEM 4.CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, our management has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of March 31, 2023. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of March 31, 2023, as a result of the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting related to the accounting for earnings per share described below, and for which it was not possible for the Company to remediate during the first quarter of 2023 because there were no similar transactions to evaluate, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms; and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

During our financial statement close process for the period ended December 31, 2022, a material weakness was identified in the Company’s control over the evaluation of complex transactions as a result of the error identified in the treatment of deemed dividends on redeemable preferred stock in arriving at net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders, which impacted the calculation of earnings per share. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

The Company is evaluating remediation steps, which could include: (1) arranging for additional training for our associates and (2) designing new or enhanced controls whereby management evaluates the nature of equity transactions and where appropriate engages third-party accounting experts to assist management in assessing the accounting in its consolidated financial statements. The material weakness will not be considered remediated until management designs and implements effective controls that operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are effective.

We reviewed the results of management’s assessment with the audit committee of our board of directors.

Notwithstanding the material weakness described above, management has concluded that our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this quarterly report are fairly stated in all material respects in accordance with GAAP.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

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: (i) 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 (ii) 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. The opt out period has been extended until such time that discovery has concluded. If this litigation goes to trial, we expect that the earliest the trial would occur is the last quarter of 2023, based on various extensions to which the parties have agreed. 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 that any potential loss to the Company is reasonably estimable at this time. As of March 31, 2023, 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

46

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.

ITEM 1A.RISK FACTORS

The discussion of our business and operations should be read together with the risk factors contained in Item 1A to Part I of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, filed with the SEC, which describe various risks and uncertainties to which we are or may become subject. These risks and uncertainties have the potential to affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, strategies, or prospects in a material and adverse manner. In addition to the risk factors set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, the following risk factor should be carefully considered in evaluating us and our business.

Our cash, cash equivalents and investments could be adversely affected if the financial institutions in which we hold our cash, cash equivalents and investments fail.

We regularly maintain cash balances at third-party financial institutions in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”) insurance limit. The FDIC took control and was appointed receiver of Silicon Valley Bank, New York Signature Bank and First Republic Bank on March 10, 2023, March 12, 2023 and May 1, 2023, respectively. The Company does not have any direct exposure to Silicon Valley Bank, New York Signature Bank or First Republic Bank. However, if other banks and financial institutions enter receivership or become insolvent in the future in response to financial conditions affecting the banking system and financial markets, our ability to access our existing cash, cash equivalents and investments may be threatened and could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.

ITEM 2.UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

Purchases of Equity Securities by the Issuer

On December 7, 2022, our board of directors approved a new stock repurchase program pursuant to which the board granted a repurchase authorization to acquire shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share, having an aggregate value of up to $25 million. The Board’s authorization replaced any previous repurchase authorizations.

As of March 31, 2023, we repurchased approximately 5.4 million shares of its common stock for approximately $25.0 million and have completed the $25.0 million repurchase authorization.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

Organization and Description of Business

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 STR, LLC. 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”). Terms such as the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our” refer 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 Lodging & Hospitality, LLC (“Remington Hotels”), a subsidiary of Ashford Inc., manages four of our 16 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 and brokerage 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 March 31, 2023, own 16 hotel properties in seven states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands (“USVI”). The portfolio includes 14 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 4,192 total rooms, or 3,957 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 March 31, 2023, 15 of our 16 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 March 31, 2023, 13 of the 16 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”), Four Seasons Hotels Limited (“Four Seasons”), Hyatt Corporation (“Hyatt”), The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company, L.L.C. and its affiliates, each of which is also an affiliate of Marriott (“Ritz-Carlton”) and Remington Hotels, which are eligible independent contractors under the Code.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Significant Accounting Policies

Significant Accounting PoliciesBasis 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 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 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 10, 2023.

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 months ended March 31, 2023, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023;

•on March 11, 2022, we acquired The Ritz-Carlton Reserve Dorado Beach hotel located in Dorado, Puerto Rico. The operating results of the hotel property have been included in the results of operations from its acquisition date; and

•on December 1, 2022, we acquired the Four Seasons Resort Scottsdale at Troon North located in Scottsdale, Arizona. The operating results of the hotel property have been included in the results of operations from its acquisition date.

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 March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) (“ASU 2020-04”), 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 ASU 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848), 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. In December 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-06, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) (“ASU 2022-06”), which deferred the sunset date of Topic 848 from December 31, 2022 to December 31, 2024. The Company applied the optional expedient in evaluating debt modifications converting from London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) to Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”). The Company adopted the standards upon the respective effective dates. There was no material impact as a result of this adoption.

Investment in Unconsolidated Entity

Investment in Unconsolidated EntityOpenKey, Inc. (“OpenKey”), which is controlled and consolidated by Ashford Inc., 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. As of March 31, 2023, the Company has made equity investments in OpenKey totaling $2.9 million. All investments were

recommended by our Related Party Transactions Committee and unanimously approved by the independent members of our board of directors.

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 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 months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022.

The following table summarizes our carrying value and ownership interest in OpenKey:

During the second and third quarters of 2020, we reached forbearance and other agreements with our lenders relating to loans secured by the Pier House Resort & Spa, The Ritz-Carlton Sarasota, The Ritz-Carlton Lake Tahoe, Hotel Yountville, Bardessono Hotel and Spa, Sofitel Chicago Magnificent Mile, The Notary Hotel, The Clancy, Marriott Seattle Waterfront, Capital Hilton and Hilton La Jolla Torrey Pines. 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.

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 principal that was amortized was approximately $468,000 and $523,000, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022.

On January 18, 2023, the Company repaid its $54.0 million mortgage loan secured by The Ritz-Carlton Reserve Dorado Beach, which resulted in a gain on extinguishment of debt of $2.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The gain

was primarily attributable to the premium that was recorded upon the assumption of the mortgage loan when the hotel was acquired.

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.

The Convertible Senior Notes are governed by an 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 $970,000 and $970,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

The Company recorded discount amortization of $144,000 and $132,000 related to the initial purchase discount for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, with the remaining discount balance to be amortized through June 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.

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 March 31, 2023, we were in compliance with all covenants.

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, which include interest rate caps. All derivatives are recorded at fair value. Payments from counterparties on in-the-money interest rate caps are recognized as realized gains on our consolidated statements of operations.

The following table summarizes the interest rate derivatives we entered into over the applicable periods:

Warrants—On August 5, 2021, as part of the consideration paid to acquire the Mr. C Beverly Hills Hotel and five adjacent luxury residences, the Company issued 500,000 warrants for the purchase of Braemar common stock with a $6.00 strike price on or after August 5, 2021 until August 5, 2024. The holder can choose to exercise the warrant by cash or by net issue exercise, in which event the Company shall issue to the holder a number of warrant shares which reflect the fair market value of the Company’s common stock. As of March 31, 2023, no warrants have been exercised.

The initial fair value of the warrant was calculated using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: three-year contractual term; 97.93% volatility; 0% dividend rate; and a risk-free interest rate of 0.38%. The estimated fair value of the warrants was approximately $1.5 million on the date of issuance. The warrants are re-valued at each reporting period with the change in fair value recorded through earnings.

In applying the guidance in ASC 815, it was determined that the warrants should be classified as a liability as a result of certain settlement provisions. The warrants are included in derivative liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets and changes in value are reported as a component of “realized and unrealized gain (loss) on derivatives” on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. This is a Level 2 valuation technique.

Fair Value Measurements

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 marketplace 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.

The fair value of interest rate caps are determined using the market standard methodology of discounting the future expected cash receipts that would occur if variable interest rates rose above the strike rates of the caps. Variable interest rates used in the calculation of projected receipts and payments on the caps are based on an expectation of future interest rates derived from observable market interest rate curves (LIBOR/SOFR forward curves) and volatilities (Level 2 inputs). We also incorporate credit valuation adjustments (Level 3 inputs) to appropriately reflect both our own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk.

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 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 March 31, 2023, the LIBOR/SOFR interest rate forward curve (Level 2 inputs) assumed a downtrend from 4.858% to 3.125% 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.

Summary of Fair Value of Financial Instruments

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.

The carrying amounts and estimated fair values of financial instruments were as follows (in thousands):

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 and derivative liabilities. 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 90.6% to 100.2% of the carrying value of $1.3 billion at March 31, 2023, and approximately 92.0% to 101.6% of the carrying value of $1.3 billion at December 31, 2022. These fair value estimates are considered a Level 2 valuation technique.

Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests in Operating Partnership

3 Months Ended

Noncontrolling Interest [Abstract]

Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests in Operating Partnership

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 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. As of March 31, 2023, there were approximately 2.4 million Performance LTIP units, representing 200% of the target, outstanding.

With respect to the 2021, 2022 and 2023 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. The performance criteria for the 2021, 2022 and 2023 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 applicable measurement 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.In March 2023, the Company granted approximately 353,000 Performance LTIP units, representing 200% of the target, and a vesting period of approximately three years. As of March 31, 2023, the Company does not have sufficient shares of common stock available under its incentive stock plan to settle any future redemptions of the Performance LTIP units, upon reaching the conditions required for redemption. As a result, the 2023 awards are classified as liability awards on the condensed consolidated balance sheet and are included in “due to Ashford Inc., net” on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The 2023 awards are subject to remeasurement each reporting period. The fair value of the awards as of March 31, 2023 was $3.86 per share.As of March 31, 2023, we have issued a total of approximately 3.8 million LTIP and Performance LTIP units, net of Performance LTIP cancellations. All LTIP and Performance LTIP units, other than approximately 569,000 LTIP units and 1.2 million Performance LTIP units issued from March 2015 to March 2023, had reached full economic parity with, and are convertible into, common units.

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2023		2022
Common stock dividends declared	$	3,334	$	720

Restricted Stock—We incur stock-based compensation expense in connection with restricted stock 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.

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 2021, 2022 and 2023 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. The performance criteria for the 2021, 2022 and 2023 performance grants are based on performance conditions under the relevant literature, and the 2021, 2022 and 2023 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 corresponding measurement 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.

In March 2023, 383,000 PSUs with a vesting period of approximately three years were granted. The 2023 awards may be settled in cash or shares of the Company’s common stock solely at the option of the Company. As of March 31, 2023, the Company does not have sufficient shares available under its incentive stock plan to settle the 2023 awards in shares of the Company’s common stock. As a result, the 2023 awards are classified as liability awards and are included in “due to Ashford Inc., net” on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The 2023 awards are subject to remeasurement each reporting period. The fair value of the awards as of March 31, 2023 was $2.8 million.

The board of directors’ authorization replaced any previous repurchase authorizations. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we repurchased 3.9 million shares of our common stock for approximately $18.9 million.

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 (collectively, the “Parties” and each individually a “Party”) with respect to funding certain expenses of Ashford Securities LLC, a subsidiary of Ashford Inc. (“Ashford Securities”). 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 capital raised, or June 10, 2023, there will be a true up (the “Amended and Restated True-Up Date”) among Ashford Inc., Ashford Trust and Braemar whereby the actual amount contributed by each company will be based on the actual amount of capital raised by Ashford Inc., Ashford Trust and Braemar, respectively, through Ashford Securities (the resulting ratio of contributions among the Parties, the “Initial True-up Ratio”). On January 27, 2022, Ashford Trust, Braemar and Ashford Inc. entered into a Second Amended and Restated Contribution Agreement which provided for an additional $18 million in expenses to be reimbursed with all expenses allocated 45% to Ashford Trust, 45% to Braemar and 10% to Ashford Inc.

On February 1, 2023, Braemar entered into a Third Amended and Restated Contribution Agreement with Ashford Inc. and Ashford Trust. The Third Amended and Restated Contribution Agreement states that after the Amended and Restated True-Up Date occurs, capital contributions for the remainder of fiscal year 2023 will be divided between each Party based on the Initial True-Up Ratio. Thereafter on a yearly basis at year-end, starting with the year-end of 2023, there will be a true-up between the Parties whereby there will be adjustments so that the capital contributions made by each Party will be based on the cumulative amount of capital raised by each Party through Ashford Securities as a percentage of the total amount raised by the Parties collectively through Ashford Securities since June 10, 2019 (the resulting ratio of capital contributions among Braemar, Ashford Inc. and Ashford Trust following this true-up, the “Cumulative Ratio”). Thereafter, the capital contributions will be divided among each Party in accordance with the Cumulative Ratio, as recalculated at the end of each year.

During the year ended December 31, 2022, the funding estimate was revised based on the latest capital raise estimates of the aggregate capital raised through Ashford Securities. As of December 31, 2022, Braemar had funded approximately $5.8 million and had a payable, included in “due to Ashford Inc., net” on the condensed consolidated balance sheet, of approximately $6.6 million. In March 2023, Braemar paid Ashford Inc. $8.7 million as a result of the contribution true-up between entities described above. As of March 31, 2023, Braemar has funded approximately $15.9 million. As of March 31, 2023, Braemar has a pre-funded balance of approximately $2.1 million that is included in “other assets” and approximately $343,000 that is included in “due to Ashford Inc., net” on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments and Contingencies

Restricted Cash—Under certain management and debt agreements for our hotel properties existing at March 31, 2023, 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 3% to 5% of gross revenues for capital improvements.

Licensing Fees—In conjunction with the Mr. C Beverly Hills Hotel acquisition on August 5, 2021, we entered into an Intellectual Property Sublease Agreement, which allows us to continue to use certain proprietary marks associated with the Mr. C brand name. In return, we pay licensing fees of: (i) 1% of total operating revenue; (ii) 2% of gross food and beverage revenues; and (iii) 25% of food and beverage profits. The agreement expires on August 5, 2023.

The table below summarizes the licensing fees incurred (in thousands):

Management Fees—Under hotel management agreements for our hotel properties existing at March 31, 2023, we pay a monthly hotel management fee equal to the greater of approximately $16,000 per hotel (increased annually based on consumer price index adjustments) or 3% of gross revenues, or in some cases 3.0% to 5.0% of gross revenues, as well as annual incentive management fees, if applicable. These management agreements expire from December 2027 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 2018 through 2022 remain subject to potential examination by certain federal and state taxing authorities.

Litigation—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: (i) 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 (ii) 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. The opt out period has been extended until such time that discovery has concluded. If this litigation goes to trial, we expect that the earliest the trial would occur is the last quarter of 2023, based on various extensions to which the parties have agreed. 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 that any potential loss to the Company is reasonably estimable at this time. As of March 31, 2023, 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.

Significant Accounting Policies (For 10Q) (Policies)

3 Months Ended

Mar. 31, 2023

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

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 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 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 10, 2023.

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 months ended March 31, 2023, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023;

•on March 11, 2022, we acquired The Ritz-Carlton Reserve Dorado Beach hotel located in Dorado, Puerto Rico. The operating results of the hotel property have been included in the results of operations from its acquisition date; and

•on December 1, 2022, we acquired the Four Seasons Resort Scottsdale at Troon North located in Scottsdale, Arizona. The operating results of the hotel property have been included in the results of operations from its acquisition date.

Use of Estimates

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 and Issued Accounting Standards

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards—In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) (“ASU 2020-04”), 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 ASU 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848), 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. In December 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-06, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) (“ASU 2022-06”), which deferred the sunset date of Topic 848 from December 31, 2022 to December 31, 2024. The Company applied the optional expedient in evaluating debt modifications converting from London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) to Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”). The Company adopted the standards upon the respective effective dates. There was no material impact as a result of this adoption.
