HOSPITALITY PROPERTIES TRUST
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(dollars in thousands, except share data)
(Unaudited)
Note 1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of Hospitality Properties Trust and its subsidiaries, or HPT, we, our or us, are unaudited. Certain information and disclosures required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, for complete financial statements have been condensed or omitted. We believe the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. However, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, or our 2017 Annual Report. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals considered necessary for a fair statement of results for the interim period, have been included. These condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of HPT and our subsidiaries, all of which are 100% owned directly or indirectly by HPT. All intercompany transactions and balances with or among our consolidated subsidiaries have been eliminated. Our operating results for interim periods and those of our managers and tenants are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. Reclassifications have been made to the prior years’ condensed consolidated financial statements to conform to the current year’s presentation.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates in our condensed consolidated financial statements include the allowance for doubtful accounts, purchase price allocations, useful lives of fixed assets, impairment of real estate and the valuation of intangible assets.
We have determined that each of our wholly owned taxable REIT subsidiaries, or TRSs, is a variable interest entity, or VIE, as defined under the Consolidation Topic of the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, Accounting Standards Codification™. We have concluded that we must consolidate each of our TRSs because we are the entity with the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact such VIEs’ performance and we have the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from each VIE that could be significant to the VIE and are, therefore, the primary beneficiary of each VIE. The assets of our TRSs were $35,613 and $33,305 as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively, and consist primarily of amounts due from and working capital advances to certain of our hotel managers. The liabilities of our TRSs were $132,769 and $140,897 as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively, and consist primarily of security deposits they hold and amounts payable to certain of our hotel managers. The assets of our TRSs are available to satisfy our TRSs’ obligations and we have guaranteed certain obligations of our TRSs.
Note 2. New Accounting Pronouncements
On January 1, 2018, we adopted FASB Accounting Standards Update, or ASU, No. 2014-09 (and related clarifying guidance issued by the FASB), Revenue From Contracts With Customers, which outlines a comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers. ASU No. 2014-09 states that “an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.” While ASU No. 2014-09 specifically references contracts with customers, it may apply to certain other transactions such as the sale of real estate or equipment. The majority of our revenue is from hotels managed under TRS structures. The adoption of this update did not have a material impact on the amount or timing of our revenue recognition for revenues from room, food and beverage, and other hotel level sales of our managed hotels in our condensed consolidated financial statements. A lesser portion of our revenue consists of rental income from leasing arrangements, which are specifically excluded from ASU No. 2014-09. We have adopted ASU No. 2014-09 using the modified retrospective approach.
On January 1, 2018, we adopted FASB ASU No. 2016-01, Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, which changes how entities measure certain equity investments and present changes in the fair value of financial liabilities measured under the fair value option that are attributable to their own credit. The implementation of ASU No. 2016-01 resulted in the reclassification of historical changes in the fair value of our available for sale equity securities of $78,715 from cumulative other comprehensive income to cumulative net income. Effective January 1, 2018, changes in the fair value of our equity securities are recorded through earnings in accordance with ASU No. 2016-01.
On January 1, 2018, we adopted FASB ASU No. 2016-18, Restricted Cash, which requires companies to show the changes in the total of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows. The implementation of ASU 2016-18 resulted in a decrease of $1,990 of net cash used in investing activities for the three months
HOSPITALITY PROPERTIES TRUST
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(dollars in thousands, except share data)
(Unaudited)
ended March 31, 2017. This update also requires a reconciliation of the totals in the statement of cash flows to the related captions in the balance sheets. Restricted cash consisting of amounts escrowed by our hotel operators pursuant to the terms of our management agreements and leases to fund periodic renovations and improvements at our hotels totaled $59,533 and $56,713 as of March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. See Notes 3 and 8 for further information regarding our FF&E reserves. The adoption of this update did not change our balance sheet presentation.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases, which sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both parties to a contract (i.e., lessees and lessors). ASU No. 2016-02 requires lessees to apply a dual approach, classifying leases as either finance or operating leases based on the principle of whether or not the lease is effectively a financed purchase of the leased asset by the lessee. This classification will determine whether the lease expense is recognized based on an effective interest method or on a straight line basis over the term of the lease. A lessee is also required to record a right of use asset and a lease liability for all leases with a term of greater than 12 months regardless of their classification. Leases with a term of 12 months or less will be accounted for similar to existing guidance for operating leases today. The new standard requires lessors to account for leases using an approach that is substantially equivalent to existing guidance for sales type leases, direct financing leases and operating leases. ASU No. 2016-02 is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. We are currently assessing the potential impact the adoption of ASU No. 2016-02 will have in our condensed consolidated financial statements.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which requires that entities use a new forward looking “expected loss” model that generally will result in the earlier recognition of allowance for credit losses. The measurement of expected credit losses is based upon historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. ASU No. 2016-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We are currently assessing the potential impact the adoption of ASU No. 2016-13 will have in our condensed consolidated financial statements.
Note 3. Revenue Recognition
We report hotel operating revenues for managed hotels in our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income. We generally recognize hotel operating revenues, consisting primarily of room and food and beverage sales, when goods and services are provided.
We report rental income for leased hotels and travel centers in our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income. We recognize rental income from operating leases on a straight line basis over the term of the lease agreements except for one historic lease in which there was uncertainty regarding the collection of scheduled future rent increases; see Note 8 for further information regarding this historic lease. Rental income includes $3,079 and $3,008 for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, of adjustments necessary to record scheduled rent increases under certain of our leases, the deferred rent obligations payable to us under our leases with TravelCenters of America LLC, or TA, and the estimated future payments to us under our TA leases for the cost of removing underground storage tanks at our travel centers on a straight line basis. See Notes 8 and 10 for further information regarding our TA leases. Due from related persons includes $57,203 and $54,219 and other assets, net, includes $2,787 and $2,691 of straight line rent receivables at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.
We determine percentage rent due to us under our leases annually and recognize it when all contingencies have been met and the rent is earned. We had deferred estimated percentage rent of $835 and $604 for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
We own all the FF&E reserve (as defined in Note 8) escrows for our hotels. We report deposits by our third party tenants into the escrow accounts as FF&E reserve income. We do not report the amounts which are escrowed as FF&E reserves for our managed hotels as FF&E reserve income.

On April 12, 2018, in accordance with our Trustee compensation arrangements, we granted 3,000 of our common shares, valued at $25.07 per common share, the closing price of our common shares on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC, or Nasdaq, on that day, to our Managing Trustee who was elected as a Managing Trustee that day.
Share Purchases
On January 1, 2018, we purchased an aggregate of 3,394 of our common shares for $29.85 per common share, the closing price of our common shares on Nasdaq on December 29, 2017, from a former officer of The RMR Group LLC, or RMR LLC, in satisfaction of tax withholding and payment obligations in connection with the vesting of awards of our common shares.
Distributions
On February 22, 2018, we paid a regular quarterly distribution to common shareholders of record on January 29, 2018 of $0.52 per share, or $85,460. On April 19, 2018, we declared a regular quarterly distribution to common shareholders of record on April 30, 2018 of $0.53 per share, or $87,105. We expect to pay this amount on or about May 17, 2018.
Cumulative Other Comprehensive Income
Cumulative other comprehensive income represents our share of the comprehensive loss of Affiliates Insurance Company, or AIC. See Note 10 for further information regarding this investment.

Note 6. Indebtedness
Our principal debt obligations at March 31, 2018 were: (1) $86,000 of outstanding borrowings under our $1,000,000 unsecured revolving credit facility; (2) $400,000 unsecured term loan; and (3) $3,650,000 aggregate outstanding principal amount of senior unsecured notes. Our revolving credit facility and our term loan are governed by a credit agreement with a syndicate of institutional lenders.
Our $1,000,000 revolving credit facility is available for general business purposes, including acquisitions. The maturity date of our revolving credit facility is July 15, 2018 and, subject to our payment of an extension fee and meeting other conditions, we have the option to extend the stated maturity date of our revolving credit facility by one year to July 15, 2019.
HOSPITALITY PROPERTIES TRUST

(dollars in thousands, except share data)
(Unaudited)
We can borrow, repay and reborrow funds available under our revolving credit facility until maturity, and no principal repayment is due until maturity. We are required to pay interest on borrowings under our revolving credit facility at the rate of LIBOR plus a premium, which was 110 basis points per annum as of March 31, 2018. We also pay a facility fee, which was 20 basis points per annum at March 31, 2018, on the total amount of lending commitments under our revolving credit facility. Both the interest rate premium and the facility fee are subject to adjustment based upon changes to our credit ratings. As of March 31, 2018, the annual interest rate payable on borrowings under our revolving credit facility was 2.98%. The weighted average annual interest rate for borrowings under our revolving credit facility was 2.75% and 1.95% for the three months ended March 31, 2018, and 2017, respectively. As of March 31, 2018, we had $86,000 outstanding and $914,000 available under our revolving credit facility. As of May 8, 2018, we had no amounts outstanding and $1,000,000 available to borrow under our revolving credit facility.
Our $400,000 term loan, which matures on April 15, 2019, is prepayable without penalty at any time. We are required to pay interest on the amounts under our term loan at the rate of LIBOR plus a premium, which was 120 basis points per annum as of March 31, 2018. The interest rate premium is subject to adjustment based on changes to our credit ratings. As of March 31, 2018, the annual interest rate for the amount outstanding under our term loan was 2.86%. The weighted average annual interest rate for borrowings under our term loan was 2.80% and 1.98% for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
Our credit agreement also includes a feature under which maximum aggregate borrowings may be increased to up to $2,300,000 on a combined basis in certain circumstances. Our credit agreement and our unsecured senior notes indentures and their supplements provide for acceleration of payment of all amounts outstanding upon the occurrence and continuation of certain events of default, such as, in the case of our credit agreement, a change of control of us, which includes RMR LLC ceasing to act as our business manager. Our credit agreement and our unsecured senior notes indentures and their supplements also contain a number of covenants, including covenants that restrict our ability to incur debts or to make distributions under certain circumstances and generally require us to maintain certain financial ratios. We believe we were in compliance with the terms and conditions of our credit agreement and our unsecured senior notes indentures and their supplements at March 31, 2018.
On February 2, 2018, we issued $400,000 principal amount of 4.375% senior notes due 2030 in a public offering. Net proceeds from this offering were $386,454 after discounts and expenses.

Marriott No. 1 agreement. Our management agreement with Marriott for 53 hotels, or our Marriott No. 1 agreement, provides that, as of March 31, 2018, we are to be paid an annual minimum return of $69,249 to the extent that gross revenues of the hotels, after payment of hotel operating expenses and funding of the FF&E reserve, are sufficient to do so. Marriott’s base and incentive management fees are only earned after we receive our minimum returns. We realized minimum returns of $16,083 and $17,188 during the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, under this agreement. We do not have any security deposits or guarantees for our minimum returns from the 53 hotels included in our Marriott No. 1 agreement. Accordingly, the minimum returns we receive from these hotels managed by Marriott are limited to the hotels' available cash flows after payment of operating expenses and funding of the FF&E reserve.
We funded $177 for capital improvements at certain of the hotels included in our Marriott No. 1 agreement during the three months ended March 31, 2018. We currently expect to fund approximately $10,900 for capital improvements to certain hotels under our Marriott No. 1 agreement during the last nine months of 2018.

Marriott’s base and incentive management fees are only earned after we receive our minimum returns. During the three months ended March 31, 2018, we reduced the available security deposit by $856 to cover shortfalls in hotel cash flows available to pay the minimum returns due to us during the period. The available balance of this security deposit was $25,115 as of March 31, 2018. Pursuant to our Marriott No. 234 agreement, Marriott has also provided us with a limited guarantee which expires in 2019 for shortfalls up to 90% of our minimum returns, if and after the available security deposit has been depleted. The available balance of the guarantee was $30,672 as of March 31, 2018.
We funded $3,680 of capital improvements at certain of the hotels included in our Marriott No. 234 agreement during the three months ended March 31, 2018.

As we fund these improvements, the annual minimum returns payable to us increase by 9% of the amounts funded.
Marriott No. 5 agreement. We lease one hotel in Kauai, HI to Marriott which requires that, as of March 31, 2018, we are paid annual minimum rents of $10,321.

We also realized additional returns under this agreement of $311 during the three months ended March 31, 2017 from our share of hotel cash flows in excess of the minimum returns and rents due to us for that period. We did not realize any additional returns during the three months ended March 31, 2018.
Pursuant to our InterContinental agreement, InterContinental has provided us with a security deposit to cover minimum payment shortfalls, if any. Under this agreement, InterContinental is required to maintain a minimum security deposit of $37,000 and this security deposit may be replenished and increased up to $100,000 from a share of future cash flows from the hotels in excess of our minimum returns and rents. During the three months ended March 31, 2018, we reduced the available security deposit by $5,868 to cover shortfalls in hotel cash flows available to pay the minimum returns due to us for the period. The available balance of the InterContinental security deposit was $94,132 as of March 31, 2018.

2019 for capital improvements to certain hotels under our InterContinental agreement. As we fund these improvements, the annual minimum returns and rents payable to us increase by 8% of the amounts funded.
Sonesta agreement. As of March 31, 2018, Sonesta managed 10 of our full service hotels and 39 of our limited service hotels pursuant to management agreements for each of the hotels, which we refer to collectively as our Sonesta agreement, and a pooling agreement, which combines those management agreements for purposes of calculating gross revenues, payment of hotel operating expenses, payment of fees and distributions and minimum returns due to us.
Our Sonesta agreement provides that we are paid a fixed annual minimum return equal to 8% of our invested capital, as defined therein, which was $110,379 as of March 31, 2018, if gross revenues of the hotels, after payment of hotel operating expenses and management and related fees (other than Sonesta’s incentive fee, if applicable), are sufficient to do so. Our Sonesta agreement further provides that we are paid an additional return based upon operating profits, as defined therein, after payment of Sonesta’s incentive fee, if applicable. We do not have any security deposits or guarantees for our hotels managed by Sonesta. Accordingly, the returns we receive from our hotels managed by Sonesta are limited to the hotels' available cash flows after payment of operating expenses, including management and related fees. We realized returns of $11,972 and $10,662 during the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, under our Sonesta agreement.
Pursuant to our Sonesta agreement, we recognized management, reservation and system fees and reimbursement costs for certain guest loyalty, marketing program and third party reservation transmission fees payable to Sonesta of $7,325 and $5,729 for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. In addition, we recognized procurement and construction supervision fees payable to Sonesta of $405 and $81 for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, pursuant to our Sonesta agreement. These amounts are included in hotel operating expenses or have been capitalized, as appropriate, in our condensed consolidated financial statements.
Our Sonesta agreement does not require FF&E escrow deposits, but does require us to fund capital expenditures that we approve at our hotels managed by Sonesta. We funded $13,132 for renovations and other capital improvements to certain hotels included in our Sonesta agreement during the three months ended March 31, 2018, which resulted in increases in our contractual annual minimum returns of $747. We currently expect to fund approximately $75,300 during the last nine months of 2018 and approximately $76,600 during 2019 for renovations and other capital improvements to certain of our hotels managed by Sonesta, including The Clift Hotel, which was added to our Sonesta agreement on May 8, 2018. We previously leased The Clift Hotel, which is located in San Francisco, CA, to a subsidiary of Morgans. In December 2016, we notified Morgans that the closing of its merger with SBE Entertainment Group, LLC, or SBE, without our consent was a breach of its lease obligations and shortly thereafter we commenced an unlawful detainer action in the California state courts to compel Morgans and SBE to surrender possession of this hotel to us. While we pursued this litigation, we were engaged in discussions with Morgans and SBE regarding this hotel. On March 14, 2018, we entered into a settlement agreement with Morgans and SBE. Pursuant to that settlement agreement, on May 8, 2018, the Morgans lease was terminated and Morgans surrendered possession of the hotel to us. We rebranded this hotel to the Royal Sonesta® brand and added it to our management agreement with Sonesta. The terms of the management agreement are consistent with the terms of our other management agreements with Sonesta for full service hotels. The annual minimum returns due to us under the Sonesta agreement increase by 8% of the amounts funded in excess of threshold amounts, as defined therein. We owed Sonesta $5,419 and $783 for capital expenditure and other reimbursements at March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Amounts due from Sonesta are included in due from related persons and amounts owed to Sonesta are included in due to related persons in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.
See Note 10 for further information regarding our relationship with Sonesta.
Wyndham agreements. Our management agreement with Wyndham for 22 hotels, or our Wyndham agreement, provides that, as of March 31, 2018, we are to be paid annual minimum returns of $27,561. Pursuant to our Wyndham agreement, Wyndham has provided us with a guarantee, which was limited to $35,656, subject to an annual payment limit of $17,828, and expires on July 28, 2020. This guarantee was depleted during 2017 and may be replenished from a share of future cash flows from these hotels in excess of our minimum returns. We also lease 48 vacation units in one of our hotels to Wyndham Vacation Resorts, Inc., a subsidiary of Wyndham, or Wyndham Vacation, which requires that, as of March 31, 2018, we are paid annual minimum rents of $1,449. The guaranty provided by Wyndham with respect to the Wyndham Vacation lease for part of one hotel is unlimited. The Wyndham agreement provides that if the hotel cash flows available after payment of hotel operating expenses are less than the minimum returns due to us and if the guaranty is depleted, to avoid a default Wyndham is required to pay us the greater of the available hotel cash flows after payment of hotel operating expenses and 85% of the contractual amount due to us. During the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, we realized returns of $5,856, which represents

(Unaudited)
85% of the minimum returns due for the period, and $6,801, respectively, under this agreement. We recognized the contractual rents of $454 during the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 under our Wyndham Vacation lease agreement. Our lease for Wyndham's 48 vacation units is subject to termination in the event of a manager default under our Wyndham agreement. Rental income for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 for this lease includes $91 and $102, respectively, of adjustments necessary to record rent on a straight line basis.
Our Wyndham agreement requires FF&E escrow deposits equal to 5% of total hotel sales for all hotels included in the agreement subject to available cash flows after payment of our minimum return. No FF&E escrow deposits were made during the three months ended March 31, 2018.
We did not fund any capital improvements to the hotels included in our Wyndham agreement during the three months ended March 31, 2018. We currently expect to fund approximately $10,400 for capital improvements to certain hotels under our Wyndham agreement during the last nine months of 2018. As we fund these improvements, the annual minimum returns payable to us increase by 8% of the amounts funded.

The available balance of the guarantee was $34,283 as of March 31, 2018.
We did not fund any capital improvement costs at hotels included in our Radisson agreement during the three months ended March 31, 2018. We currently expect to fund approximately $5,600 during the last nine months of 2018 and approximately $29,400 during 2019 for capital improvements to certain hotels under our Radisson agreement. Our annual minimum returns and the limited guaranty cap under our Radisson agreement will increase by 8% of any amounts we fund.
Morgans agreement. As of March 31, 2018, we leased The Clift Hotel in San Francisco, CA to a subsidiary of Morgans. This lease was scheduled to expire in 2103 and required annual rent to us of $7,595. During the three months ended March 31, 2018, all contractual rent due to us under the Morgans lease was paid to us. As noted above, we entered into a settlement agreement with Morgans and SBE and terminated this lease on May 8, 2018. See above for further information regarding this lease and The Clift Hotel.
TA leases. As of March 31, 2018, we leased to TA a total of 199 travel centers under five leases.
We recognized rental income from TA of $74,193 and $71,526 for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Rental income for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 includes $2,984 and $2,912, respectively, of adjustments to record the deferred rent obligations under our TA leases and the estimated future payments to us by TA for the cost of removing underground storage tanks on a straight line basis. As of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, we had receivables for current rent amounts owed to us by TA and straight line rent adjustments of $81,999 and $78,513, respectively. These amounts are included in due from related persons in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Our TA leases do not require FF&E escrow deposits. However, TA is required to maintain the leased travel centers, including structural and non-structural components.
Under our TA leases, TA may request that we fund capital improvements in return for increases in TA’s annual minimum rent equal to 8.5% of the amounts funded. We funded $13,137 and $24,908 for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, of capital improvements to our TA leases. As a result, TA’s annual minimum rent payable to us increased by $1,117 and $2,117, respectively. We currently expect to fund approximately $38,300 for renovations and other capital

(Unaudited)
improvements to our travel centers during the last nine months of 2018. TA is not obligated to request and we are not obligated to fund any such improvements.
In addition to the rental income that we recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 as described above, our TA leases require TA to pay us percentage rent based upon increases in certain sales. We determine percentage rent due under our TA leases annually and recognize any resulting amount as rental income when all contingencies are met. We had aggregate deferred percentage rent under our TA leases of $835 and $604 for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
See Note 10 for further information regarding our relationship with TA.
Guarantees and security deposits generally. When we reduce the amounts of the security deposits we hold for payment deficiencies at our managed and leased hotels, we record income equal to the amounts by which this deposit is reduced up to the minimum return or minimum rent due to us. However, reducing the security deposits does not result in additional cash flows to us of the deficiency amounts, but reducing amounts of security deposits may reduce the refunds due to the respective lessees or managers who have provided us with these deposits upon expiration of the respective lease or management agreement. The security deposits are non-interest bearing and are not held in escrow. Under these agreements, any amount of the security deposits which are applied to payment deficits may be replenished from a share of future cash flows from the applicable hotel operations pursuant to the terms of the respective agreements.
Certain of our managed hotel portfolios had net operating results that were, in the aggregate, $27,586 and $16,924 less than the minimum returns due to us in the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. When managers of these hotels are required to fund the shortfalls under the terms of our operating agreements or their guarantees, we reflect such fundings (including security deposit applications) in our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income as a reduction of hotel operating expenses. The reduction to hotel operating expenses was $10,851 and $6,662 in the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. We had shortfalls at certain of our managed hotel portfolios not funded by the managers of these hotels under the terms of our operating agreements of $17,769 and $11,889 in the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, which represent the unguaranteed portions of our minimum returns from our Marriott No. 1, Sonesta and Wyndham agreements.
Certain of our managed hotel portfolios had net operating results that were, in the aggregate, $1,275 and $2,791 more than the minimum returns due to us in the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Certain of our guarantees and our security deposits may be replenished by a share of future cash flows from the applicable hotel operations in excess of the minimum returns due to us pursuant to the terms of the respective agreements. When our guarantees and our security deposits are replenished by cash flows from hotel operations, we reflect such replenishments in our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income as an increase to hotel operating expenses. We had $1,275 and $1,504 of guarantee and security deposit replenishments in the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
Note 9. Business and Property Management Agreements with RMR LLC

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and with our 2017 Annual Report.
Overview (dollar amounts in thousands, except share amounts)
We are a REIT organized under the laws of the State of Maryland.
Management agreements and leases. At March 31, 2018, we owned 323 hotels operated under nine agreements; 320 of these hotels are leased by us to our wholly owned TRSs and managed by hotel operating companies and three are leased to hotel operating companies. At March 31, 2018, our 199 owned travel centers were leased to TA under five agreements. Our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income include operating revenues and expenses of our managed hotels and rental income from our leased hotels and travel centers.
Many of our operating agreements contain security features, such as guarantees and security deposits, which are intended to protect minimum returns and rents due to us in accordance with our agreements regardless of property performance. However, the effectiveness of various security features to provide us uninterrupted receipt of minimum returns and rents is not assured, especially if economic conditions generally decline for a prolonged period. Also, certain of the guarantees that we hold are limited in amount and duration and do not provide for payment of the entire amount of the applicable minimum returns. If our tenants, managers or guarantors do not earn or pay the minimum returns and rents due to us, our cash flows will decline and we may be unable to repay our debt, fund our debt service obligations, pay distributions to our shareholders or the amounts of our distributions may decline.
Hotel operations. During the three months ended March 31, 2018, the U.S. hotel industry generally realized increases in occupancy, average daily rate, or ADR, and revenue per available room, or RevPAR, compared to the same period in 2017. During the three months ended March 31, 2018, our 303 comparable hotels that we owned continuously since January 1, 2017 produced aggregate year over year increases in occupancy, ADR and RevPAR below the hotel industry generally. We believe these results are, in part, due to the disruption and displacement at certain of our hotels undergoing renovations, increased competition from new hotel room supply in certain markets and decreased business activity in areas where some of our hotels are located.
For the three months ended March 31, 2018 compared to the same period in 2017 for our 303 comparable hotels that we have owned continuously since January 1, 2017: ADR increased 1.8% to $127.97; occupancy increased 0.1 percentage points to 71.6%; and RevPAR increased 2.0% to $91.63.
For the three months ended March 31, 2018 compared to the same period in 2017 for all our 323 hotels: ADR increased 1.8% to $127.89; occupancy decreased 0.9 percentage points to 70.3%; and RevPAR increased 0.6% to $89.91.
Additional details of our hotel operating agreements and agreements with TA are set forth in Notes 8 and 10 to our condensed consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in the table and notes thereto on pages 26 through 28 below.

References to changes in the income and expense categories below relate to the comparison of condensed consolidated results for the three months ended March 31, 2018, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2017.
Hotel operating revenues. The increase in hotel operating revenues is a result of our hotel acquisitions since January 1, 2017 ($31,808) and increased revenues at certain of our managed hotels due to increases in ADR and higher occupancies ($20,539), partially offset by decreased revenues at certain of our managed hotels primarily as a result of lower occupancies ($8,440), decreased revenues as a result of our hotel dispositions since January 1, 2017 ($3,521) and decreased revenues at certain of our managed hotels undergoing renovations during all or part of the 2018 period resulting primarily from lower occupancies ($3,346). Additional operating statistics of our hotels are included in the table on page 29.
Rental income - hotels. The increase in rental income - hotels is a result of contractual rent increases under certain of our hotel leases and increases in the minimum rents due to us as we funded improvements at certain of our leased hotels since
January 1, 2017. Rental income - hotels for the 2018 and 2017 periods includes $95 and $96, respectively, of adjustments to record rent on a straight line basis.
Rental income - travel centers. The increase in rental income - travel centers is a result of increases in the minimum rents due to us for improvements we purchased at certain of our travel centers since January 1, 2017 ($2,008), our travel center acquisitions since January 1, 2017 ($587) and an increase in straight line rent adjustments under our TA leases ($72). Rental income - travel centers for the 2018 and 2017 periods includes $2,984 and $2,912, respectively, of adjustments necessary to record scheduled rent increases under our TA leases, the deferred rent obligations payable to us under our TA leases and the estimated future payments to us under our TA leases for the cost of removing underground storage tanks on a straight line basis.
FF&E Reserve income. FF&E reserve income represents amounts paid by certain of our hotel tenants into restricted accounts owned by us to accumulate funds for future capital expenditures. The terms of our hotel leases require these amounts to be calculated as a percentage of total sales at our hotels. We do not report the amounts, if any, which are escrowed as FF&E reserves for our managed hotels as FF&E reserve income. The increase in FF&E reserve income is the result of increased sales at certain of our leased hotels in the 2018 period.
Hotel operating expenses. The increase in hotel operating expenses is a result of our hotel acquisitions since January 1, 2017 ($29,399) and an increase in wage and benefit costs, sales and marketing expenses and other operating costs at certain of our managed hotels resulting primarily from higher occupancies ($10,777), partially offset by an increase in the amount of guaranty and security deposit utilization under certain of our hotel management agreements ($4,189), our hotel dispositions since January 1, 2017 ($2,982), operating expense decreases at certain managed hotels undergoing renovations during all or part of the 2018 period resulting primarily from lower occupancies ($517) and a decrease in the amount of guaranty and security deposit replenishment under certain of our hotel management agreements ($229). Certain guarantees and security deposits which have been applied to past payment deficits may be replenished from a share of subsequent cash flows from the applicable hotel operations pursuant to the terms of the respective management agreements. When our guarantees and our security deposits are replenished by cash flows from hotel operations, we reflect such replenishments in our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income as an increase to hotel operating expenses. Hotel operating expenses were increased by $1,275 and $1,504 during the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, as a result of such replenishments. When our guarantees and our security deposits are utilized to cover shortfalls of hotels' cash flows from the minimum payments due to us, we reflect such replenishments in our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income as a decrease to hotel operating expenses. Hotel operating expenses were decreased by $10,851 and $6,662 during the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, as a result of such utilization.
Depreciation and amortization - hotels. The increase in depreciation and amortization - hotels is a result of our hotel acquisitions since January 1, 2017 ($4,438) and the depreciation and amortization of improvements acquired with funds from our FF&E reserves or directly funded by us since January 1, 2017 ($3,028), partially offset by certain of our depreciable assets becoming fully depreciated since January 1, 2017 ($3,124).
Depreciation and amortization - travel centers. The increase in depreciation and amortization - travel centers is a result of the depreciation and amortization of travel center improvements we purchased since January 1, 2017 ($1,943) and our travel center acquisitions since January 1, 2017 ($219), partially offset by certain of our depreciable assets becoming fully depreciated since January 1, 2017 ($338).
General and administrative. The decrease in general and administrative costs is primarily due to a decrease in business management fees as a result of no estimated incentive fees being accrued for the 2018 period.
Operating income. Our operating income increased in the 2018 period compared to the 2017 period primarily due to the revenue and expense changes discussed above.
Dividend income. Dividend income represents the dividends we received from our investment in RMR Inc.
Unrealized gains and losses on equity securities, net. Unrealized gains and losses on equity securities, net represent the adjustment required to adjust the carrying value of our investments in RMR Inc. and TA common shares to their fair value as of March 31, 2018 in accordance with new GAAP standards effective January 1, 2018.
Interest income. The increase in interest income is due to higher average cash balances and interest rates during the 2018 period.
Interest expense. The increase in interest expense is due to higher average outstanding borrowings, partially offset by a lower weighted average interest rate in the 2018 period.
Income tax expense. We recognized higher state and foreign taxes during the 2018 period primarily due to an increase in the amount of state and foreign sourced income subject to income taxes.
Equity in earnings of an investee. Equity in earnings of an investee represents our proportionate share of the earnings of AIC.
Preferred distributions. The decrease in preferred distributions is the result of the redemption of all of our outstanding 7.125% Series D cumulative redeemable preferred shares in February 2017.
Excess of liquidation preference over carrying value of preferred shares redeemed. The excess of liquidation preference over carrying value of preferred shares redeemed is the amount by which the liquidation preference for our 7.125% Series D cumulative redeemable preferred shares that were redeemed during the 2017 period exceeded our carrying amount for those preferred shares as of the date of redemption.
Net income and net income available for common shareholders. Our net income, net income available for common shareholders and net income available for common shareholders per common share (basic and diluted) each increased in the 2018 period compared to the 2017 period primarily due to the revenue and expense changes discussed above.
Liquidity and Capital Resources (dollar amounts in thousands, except share amounts)
Our Managers and Tenants
As of March 31, 2018, 321 of our hotels (including one leased hotel) were included in seven combination portfolio agreements and two of our hotels were not included in a portfolio; and all 323 hotels were managed by or leased to hotel operating companies. Our 199 travel centers are leased under five portfolio agreements. All costs of operating and maintaining our properties are paid by the hotel managers as agents for us or by our tenants for their own account. Our hotel managers and tenants derive their funding for property operating expenses and for returns and rents due to us generally from property operating revenues and, to the extent that these parties themselves fund our minimum returns and rents, from their separate resources. Our hotel managers and tenants include Marriott, InterContinental, Sonesta, Wyndham, Hyatt and Radisson. We previously leased one of our hotels to Morgans. As noted below, as of May 8, 2018, we and Morgans terminated that lease and Morgans surrendered possession of the hotel to us; Sonesta is currently managing that hotel. Our travel centers are leased to TA.
We define coverage for each of our hotel management agreements or leases as total property level revenues minus all property level expenses and FF&E reserve escrows which are not subordinated to the minimum returns or rents due to us divided by the minimum returns or rents due to us. More detail regarding coverage, guarantees and other features of our hotel operating agreements is presented in the tables and related notes on pages 26 through 28. For the twelve months ended March 31, 2018, four of our nine hotel operating agreements, representing 19% of our total annual minimum returns and minimum rents, generated coverage of less than 1.0x (with a range among those four hotel operating agreements of 0.74x to 0.96x).
We define coverage for our travel center leases as property level revenues minus all property level expenses divided by the minimum rents due to us. For the twelve months ended March 31, 2018, the operating results from our 199 properties in our five travel center leases generated combined coverage of 1.59x. Because a large percentage of TA’s business is conducted at properties leased from us, property level rent coverage may not be an appropriate way to evaluate TA’s ability to pay rents due to us. We believe property level rent coverage is nonetheless one useful indicator of the performance and value of our properties as we believe it is what an operator interested to acquire these properties or the leaseholds might use to evaluate the contribution of these properties to their earnings before corporate level expenses.
Three hundred ninety-seven (397) of our properties, representing 74% of our aggregate annual minimum returns and rents as of March 31, 2018, are operated under 10 management arrangements or leases which are subject to full or limited guarantees or are secured by a security deposit which we control. These guarantees may provide us with continued payments if the property level cash flows fail to equal or exceed guaranteed amounts due to us. Some of our managers and tenants, or their affiliates, may also supplement cash flows from our properties in order to make payments to us and preserve their rights to continue operating our properties even if they are not required to do so by guarantees or security deposits. Guarantee payments, security deposit applications or supplemental payments to us, if any, made under any of our management agreements or leases do not subject us to repayment obligations, but, under some of our agreements, the manager or tenant may recover these guarantee or supplemental payments and the security deposits may be replenished from subsequent cash flows from our properties after our future minimum returns and rents are paid.
When cash flows from our hotels under certain of our agreements are less than the minimum returns or rents contractually due to us, we have utilized the applicable security features in our agreements to cover some of these shortfalls. However, several of the guarantees and all the security deposits we hold are for limited amounts, are for limited durations and may be exhausted or expire, especially if our hotel renovation and rebranding activities do not result in improved operating results at these hotels. Accordingly, the effectiveness of our various security features to provide uninterrupted payments to us is not assured. If any of our hotel managers, tenants or guarantors default in their payment obligations to us, our cash flows will decline and we may become unable to continue to pay distributions to our shareholders or the amount of the distributions may decline. In particular, Wyndham's guarantee of the minimum returns due from our hotels which are managed by Wyndham was depleted during 2017. The Wyndham agreement provides that if the hotel cash flows available after payment of hotel operating expenses are less than the minimum returns due to us and the guaranty has been depleted, to avoid default Wyndham is required to pay us the greater of the available hotel cash flows after payment of hotel operating expenses and 85% of the contractual amount due. During the three months ended March 31, 2018, Wyndham paid 85% of the minimum returns due under the management agreement, which payments were an aggregate of $1,030 less than the minimum returns due for that period. We can provide no assurance as to whether Wyndham will continue to pay at least the greater of available hotel cash flows after payment of hotel operating expenses and 85% of the minimum returns due to us or if Wyndham will default on its payments.
As of March 31, 2018, we leased The Clift Hotel in San Francisco, CA to a subsidiary of Morgans. This lease was scheduled to expire in 2103 and required annual rent to us of $7,595, subject to future increases. During the three months ended March 31, 2018, all contractual rent due to us under the Morgans lease was paid to us. In December 2016, we notified Morgans that the closing of its merger with SBE without our consent was a breach of its lease obligations and shortly thereafter we commenced an unlawful detainer action in the California state courts to compel Morgans and SBE to surrender possession of this hotel to us. While we pursued this litigation, we were engaged in discussions with Morgans and SBE regarding this hotel. On March 14, 2018, we entered into a settlement agreement with Morgans and SBE. Pursuant to that settlement agreement, on May 8, 2018, the Morgans lease was terminated and Morgans surrendered possession of the hotel to us. The contractual rent due to us under the Morgans lease through May 8, 2018 was paid to us. We rebranded this hotel to the Royal Sonesta® brand and added it to our management agreement with Sonesta.
Our Operating Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our principal sources of funds to meet operating and capital expenses, debt service obligations and distributions to shareholders are minimum returns from our managed hotels, minimum rents from our leased hotels and travel centers and borrowings under our revolving credit facility. We receive minimum returns and rents from our managers and tenants monthly. We may receive additional returns, percentage rents and our share of the operating profits of our managed hotels after payment of management fees and other deductions, if any, either monthly or quarterly, and these amounts are usually subject to annual reconciliations. We believe that these sources of funds will be sufficient to meet our operating and capital expenses, interest expense on our debt and distributions to our shareholders for the next twelve months and for the foreseeable future thereafter. However, as a result of economic conditions or otherwise, our managers and tenants may become unable or unwilling to pay minimum returns and rents to us when due, and, as a result, our cash flows and net income would decline and we may need to reduce the amount of, or even eliminate, our distributions to common shareholders.
Changes in our cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2018 compared to the same period in 2017 were as follows: (1) cash flows provided by operating activities decreased from $57,855 in 2017 to $34,764 in 2018; (2) cash used in investing activities decreased from $186,480 in 2017 to $26,483 in 2018; and (3) cash flows from financing activities changed from $143,491 of cash provided by financing activities in 2017 to $11,107 of cash used in financing activities in 2018.
The decrease in cash flows provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2018 as compared to the prior year period is primarily due to an increase in incentive business management fees paid to RMR LLC and higher interest payments, partially offset by an increase in the minimum returns and rents paid to us due to our acquisitions and funding of improvements to our hotels and travel centers since January 1, 2017. The decrease in cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2018 as compared to the prior year period is primarily due to our real estate acquisitions in the 2017 period and a decrease in our capital improvement fundings in the 2018 period. The change from cash flows provided by financing activities in the 2017 period to cash used in financing activities in the 2018 period is primarily due to the decrease in net borrowings in the 2018 period compared to the 2017 period, partially offset by the redemption of our 7.125% Series D cumulative redeemable preferred shares in the 2017 period.
We maintain our qualification for taxation as a REIT under the IRC by meeting certain requirements. As a REIT, we do not expect to pay federal income taxes on the majority of our income; however, the income realized by our TRSs in excess of the rent they pay to us is subject to U.S. federal income tax at corporate tax rates. In addition, the income we receive from our hotels in Canada and Puerto Rico is subject to taxes in those jurisdictions and we are subject to taxes in certain states where we have properties despite our qualification for taxation as a REIT.
Our Investment and Financing Liquidity and Capital Resources
Various percentages of total sales at some of our hotels are escrowed as FF&E reserves to fund future capital improvements. During the three months ended March 31, 2018, our hotel managers and tenants deposited $14,921 to these accounts and spent $33,226 from the FF&E reserve escrow accounts to renovate and refurbish our hotels. As of March 31, 2018, there was $59,533 on deposit in these escrow accounts, which was held directly by us and is reflected in our condensed consolidated balance sheets as restricted cash.
Our hotel operating agreements generally provide that, if necessary, we may provide our managers and tenants with funding for capital improvements to our hotels in excess of amounts otherwise available in escrowed FF&E reserves or when no FF&E reserves are available. To the extent we make such additional fundings, our annual minimum returns or rents generally increase by a percentage of the amount we fund. During the three months ended March 31, 2018, we funded $16,989 for capital improvements in excess of FF&E reserve fundings available from hotel operations to our hotels as follows:
| |
• | During the three months ended March 31, 2018, we funded $177 for capital improvements to certain hotels under our Marriott No. 1 agreement using cash on hand and borrowings under our revolving credit facility. We currently expect to fund approximately $10,900 for capital improvements under this agreement during the last nine months of 2018 using cash on hand or borrowings under our revolving credit facility. As we fund these improvements, the contractual minimum returns payable to us increase. |
| |
• | During the three months ended March 31, 2018, we funded $3,680 for capital improvements to certain hotels under our Marriott No. 234 agreement using cash on hand and borrowings under our revolving credit facility. We currently expect to fund approximately $5,800 for capital improvements under this agreement during the last nine months of 2018 using cash on hand or borrowings under our revolving credit facility. As we fund these improvements, the contractual minimum returns payable to us increase. |
| |
• | We did not fund any capital improvements to hotels under our InterContinental agreement during the three months ended March 31, 2018. We currently expect to fund approximately $81,700 during the last nine months of 2018 and approximately $16,100 during 2019 for capital improvements under this agreement using cash on hand or borrowings under our revolving credit facility. As we fund these improvements, the contractual minimum returns payable to us increase. |
| |
• | Our Sonesta agreement does not require FF&E escrow deposits. Under our Sonesta agreement, we are required to fund capital expenditures made at our hotels. During the three months ended March 31, 2018, we funded $13,132 for capital improvements to hotels included in our Sonesta agreement using cash on hand and borrowings under our revolving credit facility. We currently expect to fund approximately $75,300 during the last nine months of 2018 and approximately $76,600 during 2019 for capital improvements under this agreement using cash on hand or borrowings under our revolving credit facility. These investments primarily relate to planned renovations to the 15 hotels we acquired in 2017 and one hotel added to the portfolio in 2018 and converted to Sonesta brands. As we fund these improvements, the contractual minimum returns payable to us increase to the extent amounts funded exceed threshold amounts, as defined in our Sonesta agreement. |
| |
• | Our Wyndham agreement requires FF&E escrow deposits only if there are excess cash flows after payment of our minimum returns. No FF&E escrow deposits were required during the three months ended March 31, 2018. We did not fund any capital improvements to hotels under our Wyndham agreement during the three months ended March 31, 2018. We currently expect to fund approximately $10,400 for capital improvements under this agreement during the last nine months of 2018 using cash on hand or borrowings under our revolving credit facility. As we fund these improvements, the contractual minimum returns payable to us increase. |
| |
• | Pursuant to an agreement we entered into with Radisson in June 2017, we have agreed to fund up to $35,000 for renovation costs at certain hotels under our Radisson agreement. We did not fund any renovation costs to hotels under our Radisson agreement during the three months ended March 31, 2018. We currently expect to fund approximately $5,600 during the last nine months of 2018 and approximately $29,400 during 2019 for these renovations using cash on hand or borrowings under our revolving credit facility. As we fund these renovations, the contractual minimum returns payable to us will increase. |
Our travel center leases with TA do not require FF&E escrow deposits. However, TA is required to maintain the leased travel centers, including structural and non-structural components. Under all of our TA leases, TA may request that we purchase qualifying capital improvements to the leased facilities in return for minimum rent increases. We funded $13,137 for purchases of capital improvements under these lease provisions during the three months ended March 31, 2018. We currently expect to
fund approximately $38,300 for the purchase of capital improvements under these agreements during the last nine months of 2018 using cash on hand or borrowings under our revolving credit facility. TA is not obligated to request and we are not obligated to purchase any such improvements.
On February 2, 2018, we issued $400,000 principal amount of 4.375% senior notes due 2030 in an underwritten public offering. Net proceeds from this offering were $386,454 after discounts and expenses and were used to repay amounts outstanding under our revolving credit facility and for general business purposes.
On February 22, 2018, we paid a regular quarterly distribution to our common shareholders of record on January 29, 2018 of $0.52 per share, or $85,460. We funded this distribution using cash on hand and borrowings under our revolving credit facility. On April 19, 2018, we declared a regular quarterly distribution to common shareholders of record on April 30, 2018 of $0.53 per share, or $87,105. We expect to pay this amount on or about May 17, 2018 using cash on hand and borrowings under our revolving credit facility.
In order to fund acquisitions and to meet cash needs that may result from our desire or need to make distributions or pay operating or capital expenses, we maintain a $1,000,000 revolving credit facility and $400,000 term loan which are governed by a credit agreement with a syndicate of institutional lenders. The maturity date of our revolving credit facility is July 15, 2018 and, subject to our payment of an extension fee and meeting other conditions, we have an option to extend the stated maturity date of our revolving credit facility by one year to July 15, 2019. We are required to pay interest at the rate of LIBOR plus a premium, which was 110 basis points per annum at March 31, 2018, on the amount outstanding under our revolving credit facility. We also pay a facility fee on the total amount of lending commitments under our revolving credit facility, which was 20 basis points per annum at March 31, 2018. Both the interest rate premium and the facility fee are subject to adjustment based upon changes to our credit ratings. We can borrow, repay and reborrow funds available under our revolving credit facility until maturity, and no principal repayment is due until maturity. As of March 31, 2018, the annual interest rate payable on borrowings under our revolving credit facility was 2.98%. As of March 31, 2018, we had $86,000 outstanding and $914,000 available to borrow under our revolving credit facility. As of May 8, 2018, we had no amounts outstanding and $1,000,000 available to borrow under our revolving credit facility.
Our $400,000 term loan, which matures on April 15, 2019, is prepayable without penalty at any time. We are required to pay interest at the rate of LIBOR plus a premium, which was 120 basis points per annum at March 31, 2018, on the amount outstanding under our $400,000 term loan. The interest rate premium is subject to adjustment based upon changes to our credit ratings. As of March 31, 2018, the annual interest rate for the amount outstanding under our $400,000 term loan was 2.86%.
Our credit agreement also includes a feature under which the maximum borrowing availability may be increased to up to $2,300,000 on a combined basis in certain circumstances.
Our term debt maturities (other than our revolving credit facility and term loan) as of March 31, 2018 were as follows: $400,000 in 2021, $500,000 in 2022, $500,000 in 2023, $350,000 in 2024, $350,000 in 2025, $350,000 in 2026, $400,000 in 2027, $400,000 in 2028 and $400,000 in 2030.
None of our unsecured debt obligations require principal or sinking fund payments prior to their maturity dates.
We currently expect to use cash on hand, the cash flows from our operations, borrowings under our revolving credit facility, net proceeds from any property sales and net proceeds of offerings of equity or debt securities to fund our future debt maturities, operations, capital expenditures, distributions to our shareholders, property acquisitions and other general business purposes.
When significant amounts are outstanding for an extended period of time under our revolving credit facility, or the maturities of our indebtedness approach, we currently expect to explore refinancing alternatives. Such alternatives may include incurring additional debt, issuing new equity securities and the sale of properties. We have an effective shelf registration statement that allows us to issue public securities on an expedited basis, but it does not assure that there will be buyers for such securities. We may also seek to participate in joint ventures or other arrangements that may provide us additional sources of financing. Although we have not historically done so, we may also assume mortgage debt on properties we may acquire or obtain mortgage financing on our existing properties.
While we believe we will have access to various types of financings, including debt or equity, to fund our future acquisitions and to pay our debts and other obligations, we cannot be sure that we will be able to complete any debt or equity offerings or other types of financings or that our cost of any future public or private financings will not increase.
Our ability to complete, and the costs associated with, future debt transactions depends primarily upon credit market conditions and our then creditworthiness. We have no control over market conditions. Our credit ratings depend upon evaluations by credit rating agencies of our business practices and plans, including our ability to maintain our earnings, to stagger our debt maturities and to balance our use of debt and equity capital so that our financial performance and leverage ratios afford us flexibility to withstand any reasonably anticipated adverse changes. Similarly, our ability to raise equity capital in the future will depend primarily upon equity capital market conditions and our ability to conduct our business to maintain and grow our operating cash flows. We intend to conduct our business activities in a manner which will afford us reasonable access to capital for investment and financing activities, but we cannot be sure that we will be able to successfully carry out that intention.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of March 31, 2018, we had no off balance sheet arrangements that have had or that we expect would be reasonably likely to have a material effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.
Debt Covenants
Our debt obligations at March 31, 2018 consisted of outstanding borrowings under our $1,000,000 revolving credit facility, our $400,000 term loan and $3,650,000 of publicly issued term debt. Our publicly issued term debt is governed by our indentures and related supplements. These indentures and related supplements and our credit agreement contain a number of covenants which generally restrict our ability to incur debts, including debts secured by mortgages on our properties, in excess of calculated amounts, and require us to maintain various financial ratios and our credit agreement restricts our ability to make distributions under certain circumstances. Our credit agreement provides for acceleration of payment of all amounts outstanding upon the occurrence and continuation of certain events of default, such as, in the case of our credit agreement, a change of control of us, which includes RMR LLC ceasing to act as our business manager. As of March 31, 2018, we believe we were in compliance with all of the covenants under our indentures and their supplements and our credit agreement.
Neither our indentures and their supplements nor our credit agreement contain provisions for acceleration which could be triggered by a change in our debt ratings. However, under our credit agreement, our highest senior debt rating is used to determine the fees and interest rates we pay. Accordingly, if that debt rating is downgraded, our interest expense and related costs under our revolving credit facility and term loan would increase.
Our public debt indentures and their supplements contain cross default provisions to any other debt of $20,000 or more ($50,000 or more in the case of our indenture entered into in February 2016 and its supplements). Similarly, our credit agreement has cross default provisions to other indebtedness that is recourse of $25,000 or more and indebtedness that is non-recourse of $75,000 or more.
Management Agreements, Leases and Operating Statistics (dollar amounts in thousands)
As of March 31, 2018, 321 of our hotels (including one leased hotel) were included in seven portfolio agreements and two hotels were not included in a portfolio and are leased. As of March 31, 2018, our hotels were managed by or leased to separate affiliates of Marriott, InterContinental, Sonesta, Wyndham, Hyatt, Radisson and Morgans under nine agreements. Our 199 travel centers are leased to and operated by TA under five portfolio agreements.
The table and related notes below through page 29 summarize significant terms of our leases and management agreements as of March 31, 2018. These tables also include statistics reported to us or derived from information reported to us by our managers and tenants. These statistics include coverage of our minimum returns or minimum rents and occupancy, ADR and RevPAR for our hotel properties. We consider these statistics and the management agreement or lease security features also presented in the tables and related notes on the following pages to be important measures of our managers’ and tenants’ success in operating our properties and their ability to continue to pay us. However, this third party reported information is not a direct measure of our financial performance and we have not independently verified the operating data.

(1) | Represents the historical cost of our properties plus capital improvements funded by us less impairment writedowns, if any, and excludes capital improvements made from FF&E reserves funded from hotel operations which do not result in increases in minimum returns or rents. |
| |
(2) | Each of our management agreements or leases provides for payment to us of an annual minimum return or rent, respectively. Certain of these minimum payment amounts are secured by full or limited guarantees or security deposits as more fully described below. In addition, certain of our hotel management agreements provide for payment to us of additional amounts to the extent of available cash flows as defined in the management agreement. Payments of these additional amounts are not guaranteed or secured by deposits. Annualized minimum rent amounts represent cash rent amounts due to us and exclude adjustments necessary to record rent on a straight line basis. |
| |
(3) | We define coverage as combined total property level revenues minus all property level expenses and FF&E reserve escrows which are not subordinated to minimum returns or rents due to us (which data is provided to us by our managers or tenants), divided by the minimum returns or rents due to us. Coverage amounts for our InterContinental and Sonesta agreements and our TA Nos. 1, 2, 3 and 4 leases include data for periods prior to our ownership of certain properties. Coverage amounts for our Radisson agreement exclude data for periods prior to our sale of certain hotels. |
| |
(4) | We lease 53 Courtyard by Marriott® branded hotels in 24 states to one of our TRSs. The hotels are managed by a subsidiary of Marriott under a combination management agreement which expires in 2024; Marriott has two renewal options for 12 years each for all, but not less than all, of the hotels. |
We have no security deposit or guaranty from Marriott for these 53 hotels. Accordingly, payment by Marriott of the minimum return due to us under this management agreement is limited to the hotels' available cash flows after payment of operating expenses and funding of the FF&E reserve. In addition to our minimum return, this agreement provides for payment to us of 50% of the hotels' available cash flows after payment of hotel operating expenses, funding of the required FF&E reserve, payment of our minimum return and payment of certain management fees.
| |
(5) | We lease 68 of our Marriott® branded hotels (one full service Marriott®, 35 Residence Inn by Marriott®, 18 Courtyard by Marriott®, 12 TownePlace Suites by Marriott® and two SpringHill Suites by Marriott® hotels) in 22 states to one of our TRSs. The hotels are managed by subsidiaries of Marriott under a combination management agreement which expires in 2025; Marriott has two renewal options for 10 years each for all, but not less than all, of the hotels. |
We originally held a security deposit of $64,700 under this agreement to cover payment shortfalls of our minimum return.
