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 contractually engage hotel management companies to operate them for us under management contracts. Remington Lodging & Hospitality, LLC (“Remington Hospitality”), 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 policies covering general liability, workers compensation and business automobile claims, insurance claims services, hypoallergenic premium rooms, watersport activities, travel/transportation services, mobile key technology and cash management services.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries of Braemar OP that as of March 31, 2024, 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 4,201 total rooms, or 3,963 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, 2024, 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, 2024, 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, LLC (“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 Hospitality, 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 adjustments) 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 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 14, 2024.

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 item affects 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, 2024, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024;

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 Issued Accounting Standards—In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280):Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which expands annual and interim disclosure requirements for reportable segments, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. ASU 2023-07 is effective for our annual periods beginning January 1, 2024, and for interim periods beginning January 1, 2025, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which eliminated the historic requirement that entities disclose information concerning unrecognized tax benefits having a reasonable possibility of significantly increasing or decreasing in the 12 months following the reporting date. For public business entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. We are currently evaluating the impact that ASU 2023-09 will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

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. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded coupon interest expense of $970,000 and $970,000, respectively.

For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded discount amortization of $152,000 and $144,000, respectively, related to the initial purchase discount, 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.

Credit Facility

On July 31, 2023, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Braemar OP (the “Borrower”), the lenders party thereto (the “Lenders”) and Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent and L/C Issuer (as defined in the Credit Agreement). Bank of America, N.A. acted as administrative agent and lead arranger on the transaction. Syndicate bank participants include TBK Bank and MidFirst Bank.

The Credit Agreement, as amended by the First Amendment to Credit Agreement, dated as of February 21, 2024, evidences a $200 million secured credit facility (the “Facility”) comprised of a secured term loan facility of $150 million (the “Term Loan Facility”) and a secured revolving credit facility of $50 million (the “Revolving Credit Facility”). Upon satisfaction of certain conditions, including the addition of new Borrowing Base Properties (as defined in the Credit Agreement), the Facility may be increased to an amount of not more than $400 million in the aggregate. The maximum availability under the Facility is determined on a quarterly basis and limited to the lesser of (i) $200 million (subject to increase of up to $400 million in the aggregate); (ii) 55% of the appraised value of all Borrowing Base Properties; and (iii) the DSC Amount (as defined below). The initial Borrowing Base Properties include the Company’s Ritz-Carlton Sarasota, Bardessono Hotel and Spa and Hotel Yountville hotel properties (the “Initial Borrowing Base Properties”). The “DSC Amount” means the maximum principal amount that can be supported from the Adjusted NOI (as defined in the Credit Agreement) from the Borrowing Base Properties assuming: (i) a 30-year amortization and an interest rate which is the greater of (a) the ten (10) year U.S. Treasury Rate plus 2.50% and (b) 7.50%; and (ii) a minimum debt service coverage of 1.55 to 1.00.

The Facility is a three-year, interest-only facility with all outstanding principal due at maturity, with a one-year extension option, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including the payment of an Extension Fee (as defined in the Credit Agreement) equal to 20 basis points (0.20%) of the outstanding Facility amount.

BRAEMAR HOTELS & RESORTS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

(unaudited)

The Credit Agreement is guaranteed by the Company, the Borrower and certain other eligible subsidiaries of the Company and secured by: (i) perfected lien mortgages or deeds of trust and security interests in the Borrowing Base Properties (as defined in the Credit Agreement); (ii) assignments of leases and rents with respect to the Borrowing Base Properties; (iii) assignments of all management agreements, franchise agreements, licenses and other material agreements relating to the Borrowing Base Properties; (iv) perfected first priority liens on all reserve accounts and all operating accounts related to each Borrowing Base Property; and (v) perfected first priority liens on and security interests in each subsidiary guarantor owning a Borrowing Base Property.

Borrowings under the Credit Agreement will bear interest at Daily SOFR or Term SOFR plus 10 basis points (with a 0% floor) plus the applicable margin. Depending on the Company’s Net Debt to EBITDA ratio, the applicable margin for SOFR ranges from 2.25% to 3.00%. Default interest would accrue at the applicable rate plus 2.0%.

The Facility contains customary terms, covenants, negative covenants, events of default, limitations and other conditions for credit facilities of this type. Subject to certain exceptions, the Company and the Borrower are subject to restrictions on incurring additional indebtedness and liens, investments, mergers and fundamental changes, sales or other dispositions of property, dividends and stock redemptions, changes in the nature of the Borrower’s business, transactions with affiliates and burdensome agreements.

Financial covenants are generally based on the financial condition and results of operations of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries and include, among others, the following:

(i) a Consolidated Leverage Ratio (i.e., Consolidated Net Debt to the Consolidated Total Asset Value) of not more than 55%; and

(ii) a Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (FCCR) (i.e., the ratio of Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA to Consolidated Fixed Charges) of not less than (i) prior to December 31, 2024, 1.1 to 1.0 and (ii) thereafter, 1.25 to 1.0.

The Credit Agreement includes customary events of default, and the occurrence of an event of default will permit the Lenders to terminate commitments to lend under the Credit Agreement and accelerate payments of all amounts outstanding thereunder.

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, 2024, 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:

Warrants—On August 5, 2021, as part of the consideration paid to acquire the Cameo Beverly Hills (formerly known as 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 warrants 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, 2024, no warrants have been exercised.

The initial fair value of the warrants 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 (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, 2024, the

SOFR interest rate forward curve (Level 2 inputs) assumed a downtrend from 5.329% to 3.686% 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.

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 to/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 96.0% of the carrying value of $1.2 billion at March 31, 2024, and approximately 96.0% of the carrying value of $1.2 billion at December 31, 2023. 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. 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 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.

As of March 31, 2024, there were approximately 1.5 million unvested Performance LTIP units, representing 200% of the target, outstanding.

As of March 31, 2024, we have issued a total of approximately 3.0 million LTIP and Performance LTIP units, net of Performance LTIP cancellations. All LTIP and Performance LTIP units, other than approximately 614,000 LTIP units and 353,000 Performance LTIP units issued from March 2015 to May 2023, had reached full economic parity with, and are convertible into, common units.

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. The compensation committee utilizes a 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 are based on performance conditions under the relevant literature and 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

Each share of our 5.50% Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series B Convertible Preferred Stock”) is convertible at any time, at the option of the holder, into a number of whole shares of common stock at a conversion price of $18.70 (which represents a conversion rate of 1.3372 shares of our common stock, subject to certain adjustments). The Series B Convertible Preferred Stock is also subject to conversion upon certain events constituting a change of control. Holders of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock have no voting rights, subject to certain exceptions. The Series B Convertible Preferred Stock dividend for all issued and outstanding shares is set at $1.375 per annum per share.

The Company may, at its option, cause the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock to be converted in whole or in part, on a pro-rata basis, into fully paid and nonassessable shares of the Company’s common stock at the conversion price, provided that the “Closing Bid Price” (as defined in the Articles Supplementary) of the Company’s common stock shall have equaled or exceeded 110% of the conversion price for the immediately preceding 45 consecutive trading days ending three days prior to the date of notice of conversion.

Additionally, the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock contains cash redemption features that consist of: 1) an optional redemption in which on or after June 11, 2020, the Company may redeem shares of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, in whole or in part, for cash at a redemption price of $25.00 per share, plus any accumulated, accrued and unpaid dividends; 2) a special optional redemption, in which on or prior to the occurrence of a Change of Control (as defined in the Articles Supplementary), the Company may redeem shares of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, in whole or in part, for cash at a redemption price of $25.00 per share; and 3) a “REIT Termination Event” and “Listing Event Redemption,” in which at any time (i) a REIT Termination Event (as defined below) occurs or (ii) the Company’s common stock fails to be listed on the NYSE, NYSE American, or NASDAQ, or listed or quoted on an exchange or quotation system that is a successor thereto (each, a “National Exchange”), the holder of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock shall have the right to require the Company to redeem any or all shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock at 103% of the liquidation preference ($25.00 per share, plus any accumulated, accrued, and unpaid dividends) in cash.

A “REIT Termination Event,” shall mean the earliest of:

On February 21, 2023, the Company announced the closing of its Series E Preferred Stock offering. The Company is also offering a maximum of 8,000,000 shares of the Series E Preferred Stock pursuant to a dividend reinvestment plan (the “DRIP”) at $25.00 per share (the “Stated Value”).

The Series E Preferred Stock ranks senior to all classes or series of the Company’s common stock and future junior securities, on a parity with each series of the Company’s outstanding preferred stock (the Series B Convertible Preferred stock, the Series D Preferred Stock and the Series M Preferred Stock (as defined below)) and with any future parity securities and junior to future senior securities and to all of the Company’s existing and future indebtedness, with respect to the payment of dividends and the distribution of amounts upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company’s affairs.

Holders of the Series E Preferred Stock shall have the right to vote for the election of directors of the Company and on all other matters requiring stockholder action by the holders of the common stock, each share being entitled to vote to the same extent as one share of the Company’s common stock, and all such shares voting together as a single class. If and whenever dividends on any shares of the Series E Preferred Stock shall be in arrears for 18 or more monthly periods, whether or not such quarterly periods are consecutive, the number of directors then constituting the board shall be increased by two and the holders of such shares of Series E Preferred Stock (voting together as a single class with all other classes or series of capital stock ranking on a parity with the Series E Preferred Stock) shall be entitled to vote for the election of the additional directors of the Company who shall each be elected for one-year terms.

Each share is redeemable at any time, at the option of the holder, at a redemption price of $25.00 per share, plus any accumulated, accrued and unpaid dividends, less a redemption fee. Starting on the second anniversary, each share is redeemable at any time, at the option of the Company, at a redemption price of $25.00 per share, plus any accumulated, accrued and unpaid dividends (with no redemption fee). The Series E Preferred Stock is also subject to conversion upon certain events constituting a change of control. Upon such change of control events, holders have the option to convert their shares of Series E Preferred Stock into a maximum of 5.69476 shares of our common stock.

The redemption fee shall be an amount equal to:

•8.0% of the stated value of $25.00 per share (the “Stated Value”) beginning on the Original Issue Date (as defined in the Articles Supplementary) of the shares of the Series E Preferred Stock to be redeemed;

•5.0% of the Stated Value beginning on the second anniversary from the Original Issue Date of the shares of the Series E Preferred Stock to be redeemed; and

•0% of the Stated Value beginning on the third anniversary from the Original Issue Date of the shares of the Series E Preferred Stock to be redeemed.

The Company has the right, in its sole discretion, to redeem the shares in cash, or in an equal number of shares of common stock or any combination thereof, calculated based on the closing price per share for the single trading day prior to the date of redemption.

The Series E Preferred Stock cash dividends are as follows:

•8.00% per annum of the Stated Value beginning on the date of the first settlement of the Series E Preferred Stock (the “Date of Initial Closing”);

•7.75% per annum of the Stated Value beginning on the first anniversary from the Date of Initial Closing; and

•7.50% per annum of the Stated Value beginning on the second anniversary from the Date of Initial Closing.

Dividends are payable on a monthly basis in arrears on the 15th day of each month (or, if such payment date is not a business day, the next succeeding business day) to holders of record at the close of business on the last business day of each month immediately preceding the applicable dividend payment date. Dividends will be computed on the basis of twelve 30-day months and a 360-day year.

The Company has a DRIP that allows participating holders to have their Series E Preferred Stock dividend distributions automatically reinvested in additional shares of the Series E Preferred Stock at a price of $25.00 per share.

Starting on the second anniversary, each share is redeemable at any time, at the option of the Company, at a redemption price of $25.00 per share, plus any accumulated, accrued and unpaid dividends (with no redemption fee). The Series M Preferred Stock is also subject to conversion upon certain events constituting a change of control. Upon such change of control events, holders have the option to convert their shares of Series M Preferred Stock into a maximum of 5.69476 shares of our common stock.

The redemption fee shall be an amount equal to:

•1.5% of the Stated Value of $25.00 per share beginning on the Series M Original Issue Date (as defined in the Articles Supplementary) of the shares of Series M Preferred Stock to be redeemed; and

•0% of the Stated Value beginning on the first anniversary from the Series M Original Issue Date of the shares of Series M Preferred Stock to be redeemed.

The Company has the right, in its sole discretion, to redeem the shares in cash, or in an equal number of shares of common stock or any combination thereof, calculated based on the closing price per share for the single trading day prior to the date of redemption.

Holders of Series M Preferred Stock are entitled to receive cumulative cash dividends at the initial rate of 8.2% per annum of the Stated Value of $25.00 per share (equivalent to an annual dividend rate of $2.05 per share). Beginning one year from the date of original issuance of each share of Series M Preferred Stock and on each one-year anniversary thereafter for such share of Series M Preferred Stock, the dividend rate shall increase by 0.10% per annum; provided, however, that the dividend rate for any share of Series M Preferred Stock shall not exceed 8.7% per annum of the Stated Value.

Dividends are payable on a monthly basis and in arrears on the 15th day of each month (or, if such payment date is not a business day, on the next succeeding business day) to holders of record at the close of business on the last business day of each month immediately preceding the applicable dividend payment date. Dividends will be computed on the basis of twelve 30-day months and a 360-day year.

The Company has a DRIP that allows participating holders to have their Series M Preferred Stock dividend distributions automatically reinvested in additional shares of the Series M Preferred Stock at a price of $25.00 per share.

The Series M Preferred Stock does not meet the requirements for permanent equity classification prescribed by the authoritative guidance because of certain cash redemption features that are outside the Company’s control. As such, the Series M Preferred Stock is classified outside of permanent equity.

At the date of issuance, the carrying amount of the Series M Preferred Stock was less than the redemption value. As a result of the Company’s determination that redemption is probable, the carrying value will be adjusted to the redemption amount each reporting period.

Ashford Inc.

Advisory Agreement

Ashford LLC, a subsidiary of Ashford Inc., acts as our advisor. Our chairman, Mr. Monty Bennett, also serves as chairman of the board of directors and chief executive officer of Ashford Inc. Under our advisory agreement, we pay advisory fees to Ashford LLC. We pay a monthly base fee equal to 1/12th of the sum of (i) 0.70% of the total market capitalization of our company for the prior month, plus (ii) the Net Asset Fee Adjustment (as defined in our advisory agreement), if any, on the last day of the prior month during which our advisory agreement was in effect; provided, however, in no event shall the base fee for any month be less than the minimum base fee as provided by our advisory agreement. The base fee is payable on the 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.

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 equal to the lesser of (i) 20 bps of the average daily balance of the funds managed by the Advisor and (ii) the actual rate of return realized by the cash management strategies; provided that in no event will the cash management fee be less than zero. The fee is payable monthly in arrears.

On March 2, 2023, the Company entered into a 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 the Advisor.

On March 11, 2024, we entered into a Limited Waiver Under Advisory Agreement with Ashford Inc. and Ashford LLC (the “Advisory Agreement Limited Waiver”). Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement Limited Waiver, the Company, the Operating Partnership, TRS and the Advisor waive the operation of any provision in our advisory agreement that would otherwise limit the ability of the Company in its discretion, at the Company’s cost and expense, to award during calendar year 2024, cash incentive compensation to employees and other representatives of the Advisor.

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 Ashford Trust, Braemar, Stirling OP, 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. has managed the casualty insurance program and beginning in December 2023, Warwick Insurance Company (“Warwick”), a subsidiary of Ashford Inc., provides and manages the general liability, workers’ compensation and business automobile insurance policies within the casualty insurance program. Each year Ashford Inc. collects funds from Ashford Trust, Braemar, Stirling OP and their respective hotel management companies, to fund the casualty insurance program as needed, on an allocated basis.

Lismore

We engage Lismore or its subsidiaries to provide debt placement services and assist with loan modifications or refinancings our behalf. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, we incurred fees of $1.1 million and $0, respectively.

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 were 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 was to 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 was 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, which provided that after the Amended and Restated True-Up Date, capital contributions for the remainder of fiscal year 2023 would be divided between each Party based on the Initial True-Up Ratio, there would be a true up reflecting amounts raised by Ashford Securities since June 10, 2019, and thereafter, the capital contributions would be divided among each Party in accordance with the cumulative ratio of capital raised by the Parties.

Effective January 1, 2024, Braemar entered into a Fourth Amended and Restated Contribution Agreement with Ashford Inc. and Ashford Trust, which states that, notwithstanding anything in the prior contribution agreements: (1) the Parties equally split responsibility for all aggregate contributions made by them to Ashford Securities through September 30, 2021 and (2) thereafter, their contributions for each quarter will be based on the ratio of the amounts raised by each Party through Ashford Securities in the prior quarter compared to the total aggregate amount raised by the Parties through Ashford Securities the prior quarter. To the extent contributions made by any of the Parties through December 31, 2023 differed from the amounts owed pursuant to the foregoing, the Parties shall make true up payments to each other to settle the difference. The terms of this agreement included a life-to-date true-up based on the new terms of the agreement and a new funding schedule for ongoing funding of the broker dealer. Going forward, each capital call will be funded according to the percentages of the discrete raises accomplished in the prior quarter. During the first quarter of 2024, the funding requirement was revised based on the aggregate capital raised through Ashford Securities. This resulted in Braemar receiving a payment of approximately $5.9 million from Ashford Inc., which resulted in a credit to expense of approximately $5.6 million that is included in “corporate general and administrative” on the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024.

As of March 31, 2024, Braemar has funded approximately $13.0 million and has a pre-funded balance of $1.9 million that is included in “other assets” on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

As of December 31, 2023, Braemar had funded approximately $20.9 million and had a pre-funded balance of approximately $693,000 that is included in “other assets” and a receivable of approximately $3.5 million that is included in “due to Ashford Inc., net” on the consolidated balance sheet. During the first quarter of 2024 there was also a true-up of the capital contributions in accordance with the Third Amended and Restated Contribution Agreement made through December 31, 2023, which resulted in a payment of $3.5 million from Ashford Inc.

Design and Construction Services

Premier Project Management LLC (“Premier”), 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). Such fees are payable monthly as the service is delivered based on percentage complete, as reasonably determined by Premier for each service, or payable as set forth in other agreements.

Hotel Management Services

At March 31, 2024, Remington Hospitality managed four of our 16 hotel properties.

BRAEMAR HOTELS & RESORTS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

(unaudited)

We pay monthly hotel management fees equal to the greater of approximately $17,000 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, 2024, 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.

Franchise Fees—We currently have one hotel property that operates under a franchise agreement with a 25-year term. The term begins upon the completion of conversion of the Cameo Beverly Hills. Under the terms of the agreement we will pay (i) 3% of gross rooms revenue for the preceding calendar month during the first three years of the agreement; (ii) 4% of gross rooms revenue for the preceding calendar month during year 4; and (iii) 5% of the gross rooms revenue for the preceding calendar month for the remainder of the term. As of March 31, 2024, we are currently paying 3% of gross revenues.

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

	Three Months Ended March 31,
Line Item	2024		2023
Other hotel expenses	$	80	$	—

Management Fees—Under hotel management agreements for our hotel properties existing at March 31, 2024, we pay a monthly hotel management fee equal to the greater of approximately $17,000 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 2029 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 2019 through 2023 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. In May 2023, the trial court requested additional briefing from the parties to determine whether the case should be maintained, dismissed, or the class de-certified. After submission of the briefs, the court requested that the parties submit stipulations for the court to rule upon. On February 13, 2024, the judge ordered the parties to submit additional briefing related to on-site breaks. 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, 2024, no amounts have been accrued.

On June 8, 2022, a lawsuit was filed against various Hilton entities on behalf of a class of all hourly employees at all Hilton-branded managed properties in California, including Hilton La Jolla Torrey Pines. The complaint includes claims for unpaid wages, meal and rest break violations, and unreimbursed business expenses, along with various derivative claims including wage statement, final pay, and Private Attorneys General Act (“PAGA”) claims.

On November 30, 2023, Hilton mediated this litigation, but it did not result in a settlement. At the end of the mediation, the mediator submitted a mediator’s proposal for approximately $3.5 million, which the parties are still considering. The allocation to Hilton La Jolla Torrey Pines would be approximately $371,000, which has been accrued as of March 31, 2024.

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 Americans with Disabilities Act 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.

During the quarter ended September 30, 2023, we had a cyber incident that resulted in the potential exposure of certain employee personal information. We have completed an investigation and have identified certain employee information that may have been exposed, but we have not identified that any customer information was exposed. All systems have been restored. We believe that we maintain a sufficient level of insurance coverage related to such events, and the related incremental costs incurred to date are immaterial. In February of 2024, two class action lawsuits were filed, one in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas and a second in the 68th District Court for Dallas County related to the cyber incident. The lawsuit filed in the 68th District Court was subsequently dismissed and refiled in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas. On March 12, 2024, the court ordered the two cases be consolidated. The consolidated case is currently pending in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas. We intend to vigorously defend this matter and do not believe that any potential loss is reasonably estimable at this time. It is reasonably possible that the Company may incur additional costs related to the matter, but we are unable to predict with certainty the ultimate amount or range of potential loss.

Our assessment may change depending upon the development of any current or future legal proceedings, and the final results of such legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty. If we ultimately 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, 2024 and December 31, 2023, all of our hotel properties were in the U.S. and its territories.

17. Subsequent Events

On May 3, 2024, the board of directors approved a new share 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 $50 million.

On May 6, 2024, CHH Torrey Pines Hotel Partners, LP and CHH Torrey Pines Tenant Corp. (together, “Seller”), indirect subsidiaries of the Company, entered into an Agreement of Purchase and Sale with JRK Torrey Pines Hotel Owner LLC, for the sale of the Hilton La Jolla Torrey Pines hotel for $165 million in cash, subject to customary pro-rations and adjustments. The Company owns an indirect 75% equity interest in Seller. The sale of the hotel is expected to close in the second quarter of 2024, subject to customary closing conditions.

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 $196 for the year ended December 31, 2023. 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, 2024, we owned interests in 16 hotel properties in seven states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands with 4,201 total rooms, or 3,963 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 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 contractually engage hotel management companies to operate them for us under management contracts. As of March 31, 2024, Remington Hospitality, 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

Recent Developments

On January 3, 2024, the Company extended the mortgage loan secured by the Pier House Resort & Spa in Key West, Florida. The mortgage loan has an initial maturity date of September 2025 with one one-year extension option, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, continues to have a balance of $80.0 million, and bears interest at a floating interest rate of SOFR + 3.60%.

On January 29, 2024, the Company extended the mortgage loan secured by The Ritz-Carlton St. Thomas in St. Thomas, USVI. The mortgage loan has an initial maturity date of August 2025 with one one-year extension option, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, continues to have a balance of $42.5 million, and bears interest at a floating interest rate of SOFR + 4.35%.

On February 5, 2024, the Company amended the mortgage loan secured by the Hilton La Jolla Torrey Pines. It remains encumbered by the original mortgage loan, which now has been partially paid down to a remaining balance of $66.6 million. While the Company considers its alternatives regarding refinancing the loan or potentially selling the asset, the lender has provided a six month extension. During this time, the mortgage loan bears an annual fixed interest rate of 9.0%.

In February 2024, the Company and Ashford Inc. approved funding up to an additional $1.0 million, in the aggregate, for OpenKey. Such funding is to be allocated pro rata among Ashford Inc. and the Company.

On March 7, 2024, the Company closed on a $62.0 million non-recourse loan secured by the Ritz-Carlton Reserve Dorado Beach. The mortgage loan has a two-year term, is interest only and provides for a floating interest rate of SOFR + 4.75%.

On March 10, 2024, Blackwells Capital LLC and certain of its affiliates (collectively, “Blackwells”) submitted materials to the Company purporting to provide notice (the “Purported Nominating Notice”) of Blackwells’ intent to nominate four individuals for election to our board of directors and submit non-binding business proposals for stockholder consideration at the Company’s 2024 annual meeting of stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”). After reviewing the Purported Nominating Notice, the board of directors determined that the Purported Nominating Notice failed to comply with the advance notice provisions under the Company's Bylaws (including among other reasons Blackwells’ failure to disclose its continued interest in acquiring the Company) and, as a result, determined Blackwells’ nominations to be invalid. On March 22, 2024, Blackwells filed a preliminary proxy statement with the SEC to solicit proxies in support of its purported nominees and business proposals set forth in the Purported Nominating Notice. On March 24, 2024, the Company brought suit against Blackwells in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas, seeking injunctive relief against the solicitation of proxies by Blackwells and a declaratory judgment that Blackwells’ nomination is invalid and, as a result, that Blackwells’ slate of purported nominees is invalid and ineligible to stand for election by the Company’s stockholders. On April 3, 2024, Blackwells filed its definitive proxy statement with the SEC.

In April 2024, the Company repaid the $30.0 million mortgage loan secured by the Cameo Beverly Hills hotel.

On May 3, 2024, the board of directors reflecting its commitment to creating long-term value to shareholders, approved notable capital market activities and strategic updates, including:

-The sale of Hilton Torrey Pines for $165 million, and evaluating the sale of two other hotels

-The repayment of all of its 2024 debt maturities

-A $50 million preferred share redemption program

33

-A $50 million common share repurchase authorization

On May 3, 2024, our board of directors approved a new share 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 $50 million. The Company intends to begin share repurchases as soon as practicable and may repurchase shares through open market transactions, privately negotiated transactions or other means. The timing and amount of any transactions will be subject to the discretion of the Company based upon market conditions, and the program may be suspended or terminated at any time by the Company at its discretion without prior notice. The board of director’s authorization replaced any previous repurchase authorizations.

On May 6, 2024, CHH Torrey Pines Hotel Partners, LP and CHH Torrey Pines Tenant Corp. (together “Seller”), indirect subsidiaries of the Company, entered into an Agreement of Purchase and Sale with JRK Torrey Pines Hotel Owner LLC, for the sale of the Hilton La Jolla Torrey Pines hotel for $165 million in cash, subject to customary pro-rations and adjustments. The Company owns an indirect 75% equity interest in Seller. The sale of the hotel is expected to close in the second quarter of 2024, subject to customary closing 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:

•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 2024 quarter.

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

Food and Beverage Revenue. Food and beverage revenue increased $1.3 million, or 2.5%, to $53.5 million during the 2024 quarter compared to the 2023 quarter. We experienced an aggregate increase in food and beverage revenue of $3.2 million at nine hotel properties. These increases were partially offset by an aggregate decrease of approximately $1.9 million at Capital Hilton, Sofitel Chicago Magnificent Mile, Pier House Resort & Spa, Park Hyatt Beaver Creek Resort & Spa, The Ritz-Carlton Lake Tahoe, Bardessono Hotel and Spa, and Cameo Beverly Hills.

Other Hotel Revenue. Other hotel revenue, which consists mainly of condo management fees, health center fees, resort fees, golf, telecommunications, parking and rentals, increased $1.4 million, or 5.6%, to $27.0 million during the 2024 quarter compared to the 2023 quarter. This increase is attributable to higher other hotel revenue of $2.1 million at 12 hotel properties. These increases were partially offset by an aggregate decrease of approximately $713,000 at Bardessono Hotel and Spa, Hilton La Jolla Torrey Pines, Four Seasons Resort Scottsdale, and The Ritz-Carlton Lake Tahoe.

Rooms Expense. Rooms expense increased $906,000, or 3.3%, to $28.3 million in the 2024 quarter compared to the 2023 quarter. This increase is attributable to an aggregate increase in rooms expense of $1.3 million at 11 hotel properties. These increases were partially offset by an aggregate decrease of approximately $349,000 at The Ritz-Carlton St. Thomas, Bardessono Hotel and Spa, Hotel Yountville, Cameo Beverly Hills, and Park Hyatt Beaver Creek Resort & Spa.

Food and Beverage Expense. Food and beverage expense increased $978,000, or 2.5%, to $40.7 million during the 2024 quarter compared to the 2023 quarter. This increase is attributable to higher food and beverage expense of $1.8 million at 12 hotel properties. These increases were partially offset by an aggregate decrease of approximately $855,000 at Capital Hilton, Park Hyatt Beaver Creek Resort & Spa, Bardessono Hotel and Spa and Cameo Beverly Hills.

Other Operating Expenses. Other operating expenses decreased $2.2 million, or 3.6%, to $60.1 million in the 2024 quarter compared to the 2023 quarter. Other 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 $738,000 in direct expenses and a decrease of $3.0 million in indirect expenses and incentive management fees in the 2024 quarter compared to the 2023 quarter. Direct expenses were 4.5% of total hotel revenue in the 2024 quarter and 4.2% in the 2023 quarter.

36

The increase in direct expenses is associated with higher direct expenses of approximately $779,000 at 12 hotel properties. These increases were partially offset by lower direct expenses of $41,000 at the Capital Hilton, Bardessono Hotel and Spa, Cameo Beverly Hills, and The Notary Hotel.

The decrease in indirect expenses was attributable to lower: (i) incentive management fees of $1.9 million; (ii) general and administrative costs of $1.7 million; (iii) lease expense of $277,000; and (iv) energy costs of $225,000, partially offset by higher: (i) repairs and maintenance of $642,000; and (ii) $467,000 in marketing costs.

Management Fees. Base management fees increased $271,000, or 4.0%, to $7.0 million in the 2024 quarter compared to the 2023 quarter. Management fees increased $432,000 at eight hotel properties. These increases were partially offset by an aggregate decrease of $161,000 at the Park Hyatt Beaver Creek Resort & Spa, Pier House Resort & Spa, Hotel Yountville, Bardessono Hotel and Spa, Cameo Beverly Hills, Sofitel Chicago Magnificent Mile, Hilton La Jolla Torrey Pines, and The Ritz-Carlton Lake Tahoe.

Property Taxes, Insurance and Other. Property taxes, insurance and other increased $2.6 million, or 31.7%, to $10.7 million in the 2024 quarter compared to the 2023 quarter. This increase is primarily attributable to an increase of $1.7 million at the Sofitel Chicago Magnificent Mile related to a property tax refund received in the 2023 quarter and an aggregate increase of $1.9 million at 13 hotel properties. These increases were partially offset by an aggregate decrease of approximately $1.1 million at two hotel properties.

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization increased $2.9 million, or 12.9%, to $25.4 million for the 2024 quarter compared to the 2023 quarter. This increase is comprised of an aggregate increase of $3.8 million at 12 hotel properties. These increases were partially offset by an aggregate decrease of $856,000 at Sofitel Chicago Magnificent Mile, The Clancy, The Notary Hotel, and Pier House Resort & Spa, primarily due to fully depreciated assets.

Advisory Services Fee. Advisory services fee decreased $1.2 million, or 15.7%, to $6.7 million in the 2024 quarter compared to the 2023 quarter due to lower equity-based compensation of $1.2 million and base advisory fee of $313,000 partially offset by higher reimbursable expenses of $243,000.

In the 2024 quarter, we recorded an advisory services fee of $6.7 million, which included a base advisory fee of $3.3 million, reimbursable expenses of $2.3 million and $1.1 million associated with equity grants of our common stock and LTIP units awarded to the officers and employees of Ashford Inc.

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.

Corporate General and Administrative. Corporate general and administrative expense was a credit of $2.2 million in the 2024 quarter compared to expense of $2.8 million in the 2023 quarter. The change in corporate general and administrative expenses of $5.0 million is primarily attributable to a revision to the estimated contribution amount associated with the Fourth Amended and Restated Contribution Agreement with Ashford Securities that resulted in a $5.6 million expense reduction in the 2024 quarter. This decrease was partially offset by higher professional fees of $1.8 million, higher miscellaneous expenses of $14,000, and higher public company costs of $4,000.

Equity in Earnings (Loss) of Unconsolidated Entity. In the 2024 quarter and the 2023 quarter, we recorded equity in loss of unconsolidated entity of $49,000 and $73,000, respectively, related to our investment in OpenKey.

Interest Income. Interest income was $796,000 and $2.1 million in the 2024 quarter and the 2023 quarter, respectively. The decrease in interest income in the 2024 quarter was primarily attributable to lower excess cash balances in the 2024 quarter compared to the 2023 quarter.

Interest Expense and Amortization of Discounts and Loan Costs. Interest expense and amortization of discounts and loan costs increased $3.6 million, or 15.8%, to $26.5 million for the 2024 quarter compared to the 2023 quarter. The increase is primarily due to higher interest expense from higher average interest rates. The average SOFR rates for the 2024 quarter and the 2023 quarter were 5.33% and 4.50%, respectively. LIBOR ceased to be published after June 30, 2023. The average LIBOR rate for the 2023 quarter was 4.62%.

Write-off of Loan Costs and Exit Fees. Write-off of loan costs and exit fees was $721,000 in the 2024 quarter related to various loan refinances and modifications. 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.

37

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 2024 quarter.

Realized and Unrealized Gain (Loss) on Derivatives. Realized and unrealized gain on derivatives of $932,000 for the 2024 quarter consisted of an unrealized gain on warrants of $12,000 and a realized gain of $1.7 million associated with payments received from counterparties on in-the-money interest rate caps, partially offset by an unrealized loss on interest rate caps of approximately $751,000.

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.

Income Tax (Expense) Benefit. Income tax expense decreased $877,000, from $2.3 million in the 2023 quarter to $1.5 million in the 2024 quarter. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in the taxable income of certain of our TRS entities in the 2024 quarter compared to the 2023 quarter.

(Income) Loss Attributable to Noncontrolling Interest in Consolidated Entities. Our noncontrolling interest partner in consolidated entities was allocated loss of $743,000 and income of $309,000 in the 2024 quarter and the 2023 quarter, respectively. At both March 31, 2024 and 2023, 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 $296,000 in the 2024 quarter and $261,000 in the 2023 quarter. Redeemable noncontrolling interests represented ownership interests in Braemar OP of approximately 7.75% and 7.47% as of March 31, 2024 and 2023, 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, our Revolving Credit Facility, asset sales and existing cash balances.

Pursuant to the advisory agreement between us and our Advisor, we must pay our Advisor on a monthly basis a base advisory fee, subject to a minimum base advisory fee. The minimum base advisory fee is equal to the greater of: (i) 90% of the base fee paid for the same month in the prior fiscal year; and (ii) 1/12th of the “G&A Ratio” for the most recently completed fiscal quarter multiplied by our total market capitalization on the last balance sheet date included in the most recent quarterly report on Form 10-Q or annual report on Form 10-K that we file with the SEC. Thus, even if our total market capitalization and performance decline, we will still be required to make payments to our Advisor equal to the minimum base advisory fee, which could adversely impact our liquidity and financial condition.

Our long-term liquidity requirements consist primarily of funds necessary to pay for the costs of acquiring additional hotel properties and redevelopments, renovations, expansions and other capital expenditures that need to be made periodically with respect to our hotel properties and scheduled debt payments. We expect to meet our long-term liquidity requirements through various sources of capital, including future common and preferred equity issuances, existing working capital, net cash provided by operations, hotel mortgage indebtedness and other secured and unsecured borrowings. However, there are a number of factors that may have a material adverse effect on our ability to access these capital sources, 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

38

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, 2024, The Ritz-Carlton Lake Tahoe was in a cash trap, although there was no cash trapped for this mortgage loan.

As of March 31, 2024, the Company held cash and cash equivalents of $137.1 million and restricted cash of $82.4 million, the vast majority of which is comprised of lender and manager-held reserves. As of March 31, 2024, $23.8 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, 2024, our net debt to gross assets was 39.6%.

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 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. 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 21, 2023, the Company announced the closing of its offering of the Series E Preferred Stock and Series M Preferred Stock.

39

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 7, 2024, 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.

On May 3, 2024, our board of directors approved a new share 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 $50 million. The Company intends to begin share repurchases as soon as practicable and may repurchase shares through open market transactions, privately negotiated transactions or other means. The timing and amount of any transactions will be subject to the discretion of the Company based upon market conditions, and the program may be suspended or terminated at any time by the Company at its discretion without prior notice. The board of director’s authorization replaced any previous repurchase authorizations.

Debt Transactions

On January 3, 2024, the Company extended the mortgage loan secured by the Pier House Resort & Spa in Key West, Florida. The mortgage loan has an initial maturity date of September 2025 with one one-year extension option, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, continues to have a balance of $80.0 million, and bears interest at a floating interest rate of SOFR + 3.60%.

On January 29, 2024, the Company extended the mortgage loan secured by The Ritz-Carlton St. Thomas in St. Thomas, USVI. The mortgage loan has an initial maturity date of August 2025 with one one-year extension option, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, continues to have a balance of $42.5 million, and bears interest at a floating interest rate of SOFR + 4.35%.

On February 5, 2024, the Company amended the mortgage loan secured by the Hilton La Jolla Torrey Pines. It remains encumbered by the original mortgage loan, which now has been partially paid down to a remaining balance of $66.6 million. While the Company considers its alternatives regarding refinancing the loan or potentially selling the asset, the lender has provided a six-month extension. During this time, the mortgage loan bears an annual fixed interest rate of 9.0%.

On March 7, 2024, the Company closed on a $62.0 million non-recourse loan secured by the Ritz-Carlton Reserve Dorado Beach. The mortgage loan has a two-year term, is interest only and provides for a floating interest rate of SOFR + 4.75%.

In April 2024, the Company repaid the $30.0 million mortgage loan secured by the Cameo Beverly Hills hotel.

Sources and Uses of Cash

We had approximately $137.1 million and $85.6 million of cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, 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 $36.0 million and $42.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Cash flows from operations were impacted by changes in hotel operations. 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, 2024, net cash flows used in investing activities were $22.8 million. These cash outflows were primarily attributable to $23.3 million of capital improvements made to various hotel properties partially offset by cash inflows of $504,000 related to proceeds from property insurance. Our capital improvements consisted of approximately $17.6 million of return on investment capital projects and approximately $5.7 million of renewal and replacement capital projects.

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.

40

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

Net Cash Flows Provided by (Used in) Financing Activities. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, net cash flows provided by financing activities were $39.7 million. Cash inflows primarily consisted of cash inflows of $62.0 million from borrowings on indebtedness and $1.6 million of proceeds from in-the-money interest rate caps. These cash inflows were partially offset by cash outflows primarily consisting of $13.1 million of dividend and distribution payments, $991,000 to purchase interest rate caps, $3.2 million of payments of loan costs and exit fees, and $6.6 million for cash redemptions of Series E and Series M preferred stock.

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, contributions from noncontrolling interest in consolidated entities of $2.0 million 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, $2.0 million of distributions to noncontrolling interests in consolidated entities, $755,000 to purchase interest rate caps, payments of loan costs and exit fees of $404,000 and $307,000 for cash redemptions of Series E and Series M preferred stock.

Dividend Policy. On December 5, 2023, our board of directors approved the Company’s dividend policy for 2024. The Company expects to pay a quarterly cash dividend of $0.05 per share for the Company’s common stock for 2024, or $0.20 per share on an annualized basis. On January 3, 2024, our board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.05 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2024. 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 and Estimates

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 2023 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 insurance settlement and disposition of assets and Company’s portion of EBITDAre of OpenKey from EBITDA to calculate EBITDA for real estate, or EBITDAre, as defined by NAREIT.

41

We then further adjust EBITDAre to exclude certain additional items such as amortization of favorable (unfavorable) contract assets (liabilities), transaction and conversion costs, other income/expense, write-off of loan costs and exit fees, gain/loss on insurance settlements, 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 they provide 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 they help 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 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):

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2024		2023
Net income (loss)	$	15,482	$	16,604

Legal, advisory and settlement costs	1,947		69
(Gain) loss on extinguishment of debt	—		(2,318)
Adjusted EBITDAre	$	66,192	$	66,062

42

FFO is calculated on the basis defined by NAREIT, which is net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders, computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains or losses on insurance settlement and disposition of assets, plus impairment charges on real estate, depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, and after redeemable noncontrolling interests in the operating partnership and adjustments for unconsolidated entities. NAREIT developed FFO as a relative measure of performance of an equity REIT to recognize that income-producing real estate historically has not depreciated on the basis determined by GAAP. Our calculation of Adjusted FFO excludes transaction and conversion costs, other income/expense, write-off of loan costs and exit fees, legal, advisory and settlement costs, advisory services incentive fee, stock/unit-based compensation, gain/loss on insurance settlements, 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, 2024, our total indebtedness of approximately $1.2 billion included approximately $1.1 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, 2024, would be approximately $2.7 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 $152.9 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, 2024, 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, 2024. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of March 31, 2024, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that (i) information required to be disclosed in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (ii) information

45

required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act 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.

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. In May 2023, the trial court requested additional briefing from the parties to determine whether the case should be maintained, dismissed, or the class de-certified. After submission of the briefs, the court requested that the parties submit stipulations for the court to rule upon. On February 13, 2024, the judge ordered the parties to submit additional briefing related to on-site breaks. 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, 2024, no amounts have been accrued.

On June 8, 2022 a lawsuit was filed against various Hilton entities on behalf of a class of all hourly employees at all Hilton-branded managed properties in California, including Hilton La Jolla Torrey Pines. The complaint includes claims for unpaid wages, meal and rest break violations, and unreimbursed business expenses, along with various derivative claims including wage statement, final pay, and Private Attorneys General Act (“PAGA”) claims.

On November 30, 2023, Hilton mediated this litigation, but it did not result in a settlement. At the end of the mediation, the mediator submitted a mediator’s proposal for approximately $3.5 million, which the parties are still considering. The allocation to Hilton La Jolla Torrey Pines would be approximately $371,000, which has been accrued as of March 31, 2024.

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 Americans with Disabilities Act 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.

During the quarter ended September 30, 2023, we had a cyber incident that resulted in the potential exposure of certain employee personal information. We have completed an investigation and have identified certain employee information that may have been exposed, but we have not identified that any customer information was exposed. All systems have been restored. We believe that we maintain a sufficient level of insurance coverage related to such events, and the related incremental costs incurred to date are immaterial. In February of 2024, two class action lawsuits were filed, one in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas and a second in the 68th District Court for Dallas County related to the cyber incident. The lawsuit filed in the 68th District Court was subsequently dismissed and refiled in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas. On March 12, 2024, the court ordered the two cases be consolidated. The consolidated case is currently pending in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas. We intend to vigorously defend this matter and do not believe that any potential loss is reasonably estimable at this time. It is reasonably possible that the Company may incur additional costs related to the matter, but we are unable to predict with certainty the ultimate amount or range of potential loss.

46

Our assessment may change depending upon the development of any current or future legal proceedings, and the final results of such legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty. If we ultimately 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, 2023, 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, 2023, the following risk factor should be carefully considered in evaluating us and our business.

Actions of activist stockholders have caused and could continue to cause us to incur substantial costs, divert management's attention and resources, and have an adverse effect on our business.

We have been and may continue to be subject to proposals by stockholders urging us to take certain corporate actions. If activist stockholder activities continue, our business could be adversely affected because responding to proxy contests and reacting to other actions by activist stockholders can be costly and time-consuming, disrupt our operations, and divert the attention of management and our employees. For example, we have been and may continue to be required to retain the services of various professionals to advise us on activist stockholder matters, including legal, financial, and communications advisers, the costs of which may negatively impact our future financial results. This may be exploited by our competitors, cause concern to our current or potential customers, and make it more difficult to attract and retain qualified personnel. In addition, actions of activist shareholders may cause significant fluctuations in our stock price based on temporary or speculative market perceptions or other factors that do not necessarily reflect the underlying fundamentals and prospects of our business.

On March 10, 2024, Blackwells Capital LLC and certain of its affiliates (collectively, “Blackwells”) submitted materials to the Company purporting to provide notice (the “Purported Nominating Notice”) of Blackwells’ intent to nominate four individuals for election to our board of directors and submit non-binding business proposals for stockholder consideration at the Annual Meeting. After reviewing the Purported Nominating Notice, the board of directors determined that the Purported Nominating Notice failed to comply with the advance notice provisions under the Company’s Bylaws (including among other reasons Blackwells’ failure to disclose its continued interest in acquiring the Company) and, as a result, determined Blackwells’ nominations to be invalid. On March 22, 2024, Blackwells filed a preliminary proxy statement with the SEC to solicit proxies in support of its purported nominees and business proposals set forth in the Purported Nominating Notice. On March 24, 2024, the Company brought suit against Blackwells in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas, seeking injunctive relief against the solicitation of proxies by Blackwells and a declaratory judgment that Blackwells’ nomination is invalid and, as a result, that Blackwells’ slate of purported nominees is invalid and ineligible to stand for election by the Company’s stockholders. On April 3, 2024, Blackwells filed its definitive proxy statement with the SEC.

As previously disclosed, the Company has postponed the Annual Meeting, previously scheduled to be held on May 15, 2024, to July 30, 2024, and the record date for the 2024 Annual Meeting will be May 2, 2024. The litigation between the Company and Blackwells is currently stayed.

We believe that the purported nominees and non-binding business proposals set forth in Blackwells’ proxy materials cannot properly be brought before the Annual Meeting and, unless ordered to do so by a court of competent jurisdiction (a “Valid Court Order”), the Company will not recognize or tabulate any proxies or votes in favor of Blackwells' purported nominees or non-binding business proposals at the Annual Meeting. In the event a Valid Court Order is issued, the Company will amend this proxy statement and furnish to stockholders a new universal proxy card which will include Blackwells’ director candidates and non-binding business proposals, and the Company will provide stockholders with sufficient time to receive such proxy materials and cast their votes on such new universal proxy card prior to the Annual Meeting (or any postponement or adjournment thereof). We expect if a Valid Court Order is issued and an ongoing proxy contest between the Company and Blackwells occurs, such contest will divert significant financial and operational resources from the Company and may negatively affect our stock price and overall financial and operational performance.

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

Purchases of Equity Securities by the Issuer

The Company intends to begin share repurchases as soon as practicable and may repurchase shares through open market transactions, privately negotiated transactions or other means.

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 contractually engage hotel management companies to operate them for us under management contracts. Remington Lodging & Hospitality, LLC (“Remington Hospitality”), 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 policies covering general liability, workers compensation and business automobile claims, insurance claims services, hypoallergenic premium rooms, watersport activities, travel/transportation services, mobile key technology and cash management services.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries of Braemar OP that as of March 31, 2024, 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 4,201 total rooms, or 3,963 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, 2024, 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, 2024, 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, LLC (“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 Hospitality, which are eligible independent contractors under the Code.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Significant Accounting Policies

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 adjustments) 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 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 14, 2024.

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 item affects 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, 2024, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024;

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 Issued Accounting Standards—In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280):Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which expands annual and interim disclosure requirements for reportable segments, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. ASU 2023-07 is effective for our annual periods beginning January 1, 2024, and for interim periods beginning January 1, 2025, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which eliminated the historic requirement that entities disclose information concerning unrecognized tax benefits having a reasonable possibility of significantly increasing or decreasing in the 12 months following the reporting date. For public business entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. We are currently evaluating the impact that ASU 2023-09 will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Investment in Unconsolidated Entity

Investment in Unconsolidated Entity

OpenKey, 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, 2024, 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, 2024 and 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. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded coupon interest expense of $970,000 and $970,000, respectively.

For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded discount amortization of $152,000 and $144,000, respectively, related to the initial purchase discount, 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.

Credit Facility

On July 31, 2023, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Braemar OP (the “Borrower”), the lenders party thereto (the “Lenders”) and Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent and L/C Issuer (as defined in the Credit Agreement). Bank of America, N.A. acted as administrative agent and lead arranger on the transaction. Syndicate bank participants include TBK Bank and MidFirst Bank.

The Credit Agreement, as amended by the First Amendment to Credit Agreement, dated as of February 21, 2024, evidences a $200 million secured credit facility (the “Facility”) comprised of a secured term loan facility of $150 million (the “Term Loan Facility”) and a secured revolving credit facility of $50 million (the “Revolving Credit Facility”). Upon satisfaction of certain conditions, including the addition of new Borrowing Base Properties (as defined in the Credit Agreement), the Facility may be increased to an amount of not more than $400 million in the aggregate. The maximum availability under the Facility is determined on a quarterly basis and limited to the lesser of (i) $200 million (subject to increase of up to $400 million in the aggregate); (ii) 55% of the appraised value of all Borrowing Base Properties; and (iii) the DSC Amount (as defined below). The initial Borrowing Base Properties include the Company’s Ritz-Carlton Sarasota, Bardessono Hotel and Spa and Hotel Yountville hotel properties (the “Initial Borrowing Base Properties”). The “DSC Amount” means the maximum principal amount that can be supported from the Adjusted NOI (as defined in the Credit Agreement) from the Borrowing Base Properties assuming: (i) a 30-year amortization and an interest rate which is the greater of (a) the ten (10) year U.S. Treasury Rate plus 2.50% and (b) 7.50%; and (ii) a minimum debt service coverage of 1.55 to 1.00.

The Facility is a three-year, interest-only facility with all outstanding principal due at maturity, with a one-year extension option, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including the payment of an Extension Fee (as defined in the Credit Agreement) equal to 20 basis points (0.20%) of the outstanding Facility amount.

The Credit Agreement is guaranteed by the Company, the Borrower and certain other eligible subsidiaries of the Company and secured by: (i) perfected lien mortgages or deeds of trust and security interests in the Borrowing Base Properties (as defined in the Credit Agreement); (ii) assignments of leases and rents with respect to the Borrowing Base Properties; (iii) assignments of all management agreements, franchise agreements, licenses and other material agreements relating to the Borrowing Base Properties; (iv) perfected first priority liens on all reserve accounts and all operating accounts related to each Borrowing Base Property; and (v) perfected first priority liens on and security interests in each subsidiary guarantor owning a Borrowing Base Property.

Borrowings under the Credit Agreement will bear interest at Daily SOFR or Term SOFR plus 10 basis points (with a 0% floor) plus the applicable margin. Depending on the Company’s Net Debt to EBITDA ratio, the applicable margin for SOFR ranges from 2.25% to 3.00%. Default interest would accrue at the applicable rate plus 2.0%.

The Facility contains customary terms, covenants, negative covenants, events of default, limitations and other conditions for credit facilities of this type. Subject to certain exceptions, the Company and the Borrower are subject to restrictions on incurring additional indebtedness and liens, investments, mergers and fundamental changes, sales or other dispositions of property, dividends and stock redemptions, changes in the nature of the Borrower’s business, transactions with affiliates and burdensome agreements.

Financial covenants are generally based on the financial condition and results of operations of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries and include, among others, the following:

(i) a Consolidated Leverage Ratio (i.e., Consolidated Net Debt to the Consolidated Total Asset Value) of not more than 55%; and

(ii) a Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (FCCR) (i.e., the ratio of Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA to Consolidated Fixed Charges) of not less than (i) prior to December 31, 2024, 1.1 to 1.0 and (ii) thereafter, 1.25 to 1.0.

The Credit Agreement includes customary events of default, and the occurrence of an event of default will permit the Lenders to terminate commitments to lend under the Credit Agreement and accelerate payments of all amounts outstanding thereunder.

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, 2024, 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:

	Three Months Ended March 31,

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

Warrants—On August 5, 2021, as part of the consideration paid to acquire the Cameo Beverly Hills (formerly known as 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 warrants 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, 2024, no warrants have been exercised.

The initial fair value of the warrants 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 Disclosures [Abstract]

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 (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, 2024, the

SOFR interest rate forward curve (Level 2 inputs) assumed a downtrend from 5.329% to 3.686% 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 to/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 96.0% of the carrying value of $1.2 billion at March 31, 2024, and approximately 96.0% of the carrying value of $1.2 billion at December 31, 2023. These fair value estimates are considered a Level 2 valuation technique.

Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests in Operating Partnership

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. 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 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.

As of March 31, 2024, there were approximately 1.5 million unvested Performance LTIP units, representing 200% of the target, outstanding.

As of March 31, 2024, we have issued a total of approximately 3.0 million LTIP and Performance LTIP units, net of Performance LTIP cancellations. All LTIP and Performance LTIP units, other than approximately 614,000 LTIP units and 353,000 Performance LTIP units issued from March 2015 to May 2023, had reached full economic parity with, and are convertible into, common units.

On February 1, 2023, Braemar entered into a Third Amended and Restated Contribution Agreement, which provided that after the Amended and Restated True-Up Date, capital contributions for the remainder of fiscal year 2023 would be divided between each Party based on the Initial True-Up Ratio, there would be a true up reflecting amounts raised by Ashford Securities since June 10, 2019, and thereafter, the capital contributions would be divided among each Party in accordance with the cumulative ratio of capital raised by the Parties.

Effective January 1, 2024, Braemar entered into a Fourth Amended and Restated Contribution Agreement with Ashford Inc. and Ashford Trust, which states that, notwithstanding anything in the prior contribution agreements: (1) the Parties equally split responsibility for all aggregate contributions made by them to Ashford Securities through September 30, 2021 and (2) thereafter, their contributions for each quarter will be based on the ratio of the amounts raised by each Party through Ashford Securities in the prior quarter compared to the total aggregate amount raised by the Parties through Ashford Securities the prior quarter. To the extent contributions made by any of the Parties through December 31, 2023 differed from the amounts owed pursuant to the foregoing, the Parties shall make true up payments to each other to settle the difference. The terms of this agreement included a life-to-date true-up based on the new terms of the agreement and a new funding schedule for ongoing funding of the broker dealer. Going forward, each capital call will be funded according to the percentages of the discrete raises accomplished in the prior quarter. During the first quarter of 2024, the funding requirement was revised based on the aggregate capital raised through Ashford Securities. This resulted in Braemar receiving a payment of approximately $5.9 million from Ashford Inc., which resulted in a credit to expense of approximately $5.6 million that is included in “corporate general and administrative” on the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024.

As of March 31, 2024, Braemar has funded approximately $13.0 million and has a pre-funded balance of $1.9 million that is included in “other assets” on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

As of December 31, 2023, Braemar had funded approximately $20.9 million and had a pre-funded balance of approximately $693,000 that is included in “other assets” and a receivable of approximately $3.5 million that is included in “due to Ashford Inc., net” on the consolidated balance sheet. During the first quarter of 2024 there was also a true-up of the capital contributions in accordance with the Third Amended and Restated Contribution Agreement made through December 31, 2023, which resulted in a payment of $3.5 million from Ashford Inc.

The table below summarizes the amount Braemar has expensed related to reimbursed operating expenses of Ashford Securities (in thousands):

Design and Construction Services

Premier Project Management LLC (“Premier”), 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). Such fees are payable monthly as the service is delivered based on percentage complete, as reasonably determined by Premier for each service, or payable as set forth in other agreements.

Hotel Management Services

At March 31, 2024, Remington Hospitality managed four of our 16 hotel properties.

We pay monthly hotel management fees equal to the greater of approximately $17,000 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.

Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments and Contingencies

Restricted Cash—Under certain management and debt agreements for our hotel properties existing at March 31, 2024, 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.

Franchise Fees—We currently have one hotel property that operates under a franchise agreement with a 25-year term. The term begins upon the completion of conversion of the Cameo Beverly Hills. Under the terms of the agreement we will pay (i) 3% of gross rooms revenue for the preceding calendar month during the first three years of the agreement; (ii) 4% of gross rooms revenue for the preceding calendar month during year 4; and (iii) 5% of the gross rooms revenue for the preceding calendar month for the remainder of the term. As of March 31, 2024, we are currently paying 3% of gross revenues.

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

Other hotel expenses	$	80	$	—

Management Fees—Under hotel management agreements for our hotel properties existing at March 31, 2024, we pay a monthly hotel management fee equal to the greater of approximately $17,000 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 2029 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 2019 through 2023 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. In May 2023, the trial court requested additional briefing from the parties to determine whether the case should be maintained, dismissed, or the class de-certified. After submission of the briefs, the court requested that the parties submit stipulations for the court to rule upon. On February 13, 2024, the judge ordered the parties to submit additional briefing related to on-site breaks. 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, 2024, no amounts have been accrued.

On June 8, 2022, a lawsuit was filed against various Hilton entities on behalf of a class of all hourly employees at all Hilton-branded managed properties in California, including Hilton La Jolla Torrey Pines. The complaint includes claims for unpaid wages, meal and rest break violations, and unreimbursed business expenses, along with various derivative claims including wage statement, final pay, and Private Attorneys General Act (“PAGA”) claims.

On November 30, 2023, Hilton mediated this litigation, but it did not result in a settlement. At the end of the mediation, the mediator submitted a mediator’s proposal for approximately $3.5 million, which the parties are still considering. The allocation to Hilton La Jolla Torrey Pines would be approximately $371,000, which has been accrued as of March 31, 2024.

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 Americans with Disabilities Act 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.

During the quarter ended September 30, 2023, we had a cyber incident that resulted in the potential exposure of certain employee personal information. We have completed an investigation and have identified certain employee information that may have been exposed, but we have not identified that any customer information was exposed. All systems have been restored. We believe that we maintain a sufficient level of insurance coverage related to such events, and the related incremental costs incurred to date are immaterial. In February of 2024, two class action lawsuits were filed, one in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas and a second in the 68th District Court for Dallas County related to the cyber incident. The lawsuit filed in the 68th District Court was subsequently dismissed and refiled in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas. On March 12, 2024, the court ordered the two cases be consolidated. The consolidated case is currently pending in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas. We intend to vigorously defend this matter and do not believe that any potential loss is reasonably estimable at this time. It is reasonably possible that the Company may incur additional costs related to the matter, but we are unable to predict with certainty the ultimate amount or range of potential loss.

Our assessment may change depending upon the development of any current or future legal proceedings, and the final results of such legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty. If we ultimately 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)

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 adjustments) 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 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 14, 2024.

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 item affects 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, 2024, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024;

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 Issued Accounting Standards—In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280):Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which expands annual and interim disclosure requirements for reportable segments, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. ASU 2023-07 is effective for our annual periods beginning January 1, 2024, and for interim periods beginning January 1, 2025, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which eliminated the historic requirement that entities disclose information concerning unrecognized tax benefits having a reasonable possibility of significantly increasing or decreasing in the 12 months following the reporting date. For public business entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. We are currently evaluating the impact that ASU 2023-09 will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
