Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

Organization and Business

CorePoint Lodging Inc., a Maryland corporation, is a publicly traded (NYSE: CPLG) self-administered lodging real estate investment trust (“REIT”) primarily serving the upper midscale and midscale lodging segments, with a portfolio of select-service hotels located in the United States (“U.S.”). As used herein, “CorePoint,” “we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company” refer to CorePoint Lodging Inc. and its subsidiaries unless the context otherwise requires.

The following table sets forth the number of owned and joint venture hotels and approximate number of rooms at such hotels as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively:


	June 30, 2020			December 31, 2019
	Hotels	Rooms	Hotels	Rooms
Owned	239	31,200	270	34,800
Joint Venture	1	200	1	200
Totals	240	31,400	271	35,000

For U.S. federal income tax purposes, we made an election to be taxed as a REIT, effective May 31, 2018, with the filing of our U.S. federal income tax return for the year ended December 31, 2018. We believe that we are organized and operate in a REIT-qualified manner, and we intend to continue to operate as such. As a REIT, we are generally not subject to federal corporate income tax on the portion of our net income that is currently distributed to our stockholders. To maintain our REIT status, we are required to meet several requirements as provided by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). These include that the Company cannot operate or manage our hotels. Therefore, we lease the hotel properties to CorePoint TRS L.L.C., our wholly-owned taxable REIT subsidiary (“CorePoint TRS”), which engages third-party eligible independent contractors to manage the hotels. CorePoint TRS is subject to federal, state and local income taxes. To maintain our REIT status, we must distribute annually at least 90% of our “REIT taxable income,” as defined by the Code, to our stockholders. We intend to continue to meet our distribution and other requirements as required by the Code.

Interim Unaudited Financial Information

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been omitted from this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The results for the interim periods shown in this report are not necessarily indicative of future financial results. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have not been audited by our independent registered public accounting firm. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, including normal recurring items, necessary to present fairly our condensed consolidated financial position as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, and our condensed consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the periods ended June 30, 2020 and 2019.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include our accounts, as well as our wholly owned subsidiaries and any consolidated variable interest entities (“VIEs”). We recognize noncontrolling interests for the proportionate share of operations for ownership interests not held by our stockholders. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. These estimates include such items as: income taxes; impairment of long-lived assets; casualty losses; fair value evaluations; depreciation and amortization; equity-based compensation measurements; and going concern evaluations. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
