Summit Hotel Properties reports third quarter 2026 results

Third Quarter Operating Income Increased 90.3% to $16.3 Million; Adjusted EBITDAre Increased 11.8% to $43.9 Million

Third Quarter Pro Forma RevPAR Increased 7.2%, Driving a 14.4% Increase in Pro Forma Hotel EBITDA

AUSTIN, Texas, Nov. 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Summit Hotel Properties, Inc. (NYSE: INN) (the "Company"), today announced results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026.

"We delivered outstanding third quarter results that exceeded expectations as operating fundamentals accelerated meaningfully during the quarter. Pro forma RevPAR increased 7.2 percent year-over-year driven by broad based demand growth and pricing power, particularly midweek in our urban markets. Our teams capitalized on this favorable operating backdrop to drive exceptional profitability growth as pro forma hotel EBITDA increased 14.4 percent with margins expanding nearly 200 basis points year-over-year. Growth in our portfolio was strong across the vast majority of markets and all demand segments, led by the accelerating recovery in business transient travel and the ongoing strength of group demand. Our outlook for the industry broadly and Summit specifically continues to improve. Based on our strong third quarter results and increased expectations for the fourth quarter, we have again raised our full year 2026 guidance ranges to reflect the positive momentum in our business," said Jonathan Stanner, President and Chief Executive Officer.

"We also continue to enhance our balance sheet and reduce borrowing costs. During the quarter, we repriced two term loan facilities totaling $475 million of borrowings, lowering the applicable interest rate by 20 basis points on those facilities. This follows the previous pricing reduction of our primary $650 million corporate revolving and term loan facility. We have no debt maturities until 2028 and approximately $350 million of liquidity, which positions the Company well for future growth," continued Mr. Stanner.

The Company's results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025 are as follows (in thousands, except per share amounts and metrics):

Transaction Activity

In July 2026, the Company completed the sale of the wholly-owned 103-guestroom Courtyard by Marriott, Dallas (Arlington South), TX and the 96-guestroom Residence Inn by Marriott, Dallas (Arlington South), TX for a combined selling price of $19.0 million. The combined sale price represents a 5.9 percent capitalization rate based on the net operating income for the trailing twelve months ended June 30, 2026, and after consideration of approximately $7.6 million of foregone near-term required capital expenditures.

Since 2023, the Company and its affiliates have sold 15 hotels for a combined sales price of approximately $219.0 million at a blended capitalization rate of approximately 4.7 percent, inclusive of an estimated $67.6 million of foregone capital needs, based on the trailing twelve-month net operating income at the time of each sale. The combined RevPAR for the sold hotels was $86, which is an approximate 30 percent discount to the current pro forma portfolio.

Capital Markets Activity

In September 2026, the Company amended its $200 Million Term Loan Facility and $275 Million Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility to conform the pricing grids and other material terms of these facilities with those of its recently amended $650 Million Senior Credit Facility.

Pursuant to the amended pricing grids, borrowings under the $200 Million Term Loan Facility and the $275 Million Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility bear interest at rates ranging from 135 to 225 basis points over the applicable adjusted Term SOFR rate. Based on the Company's leverage as of September 30, 2026, these amendments resulted in an initial 20 basis point reduction in the applicable interest rate. Furthermore, due to a reduction in the Company's quarter-end trailing twelve-month leverage ratio, the Company achieved an additional 15 basis point reduction in the interest rate spread across $675 million of term loan debt. Compared to the Company's pre-amendment pricing grid and June 30, 2026 leverage ratio, these spread reductions are expected to generate annual interest expense savings of approximately $2.4 million.

In connection with the amendment to the $200 Million Term Loan Facility, the initial maturity date was extended to February 2028. The Company retains the option, subject to certain conditions, to further extend the maturity date for up to two additional six-month periods.

Balance Sheet Summary

As of September 30, 2026, the Company's balance sheet reflected the following:

• Pro rata outstanding debt of $1.1 billion with a weighted average interest rate of 5.50 percent. After giving effect to interest rate derivative agreements, $539.1 million, or 51 percent, of our outstanding debt had a fixed interest rate, and $520.0 million, or 49 percent, had a variable interest rate.
• Pro rata unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $51.9 million.
• Total pro rata liquidity of approximately $350 million, including unrestricted cash and cash equivalents and revolving credit facility availability.
• The Company's pro rata weighted average term to maturity was approximately 3.4 years, including extension options.
• No debt maturities until 2028.
• No balance outstanding under its Revolving Credit Facility.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We disclose certain "non-GAAP financial measures," which are measures of our historical financial performance. Non-GAAP financial measures are financial measures not prescribed by Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"). These measures are as follows: (i) Funds From Operations ("FFO") and Adjusted Funds from Operations ("AFFO"), (ii) Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization ("EBITDA"), Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization for Real Estate ("EBITDAre"), Adjusted EBITDAre, and hotel EBITDA (as described below). We caution investors that amounts presented in accordance with our definitions of non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by other companies, since not all companies calculate these non-GAAP financial measures in the same manner. Our non-GAAP financial measures should be considered along with, but not as alternatives to, net income (loss) as a measure of our operating performance. Our non-GAAP financial measures may include funds that may not be available for our discretionary use due to functional requirements to conserve funds for capital expenditures, property acquisitions, debt service obligations and other commitments and uncertainties. Although we believe that our non-GAAP financial measures can enhance the understanding of our financial condition and results of operations, these non-GAAP financial measures are not necessarily better indicators of any trend as compared to a comparable measure prescribed by GAAP such as net income (loss).

Funds From Operations ("FFO") and Adjusted FFO ("AFFO")

As defined by Nareit, FFO represents net income or loss (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding preferred dividends, gains (or losses) from sales of real property, impairment losses on real estate assets, items classified by GAAP as extraordinary, the cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles, plus depreciation and amortization related to real estate assets, and adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships, and joint ventures. AFFO represents FFO excluding amortization of deferred financing costs, franchise fees, equity-based compensation expense, debt transaction costs, premiums on redemption of preferred shares, losses from net casualties, non-cash lease expense, non-cash interest income and non-cash income tax related adjustments to our deferred tax assets. Unless otherwise indicated, we present FFO and AFFO applicable to our common shares and common units. We present FFO and AFFO because we consider FFO and AFFO an important supplemental measure of our operational performance and believe it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors, and other interested parties in the evaluation of REITs, many of which present FFO and AFFO when reporting their results. FFO and AFFO 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 AFFO 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 AFFO 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. Our computation of FFO differs slightly from the computation of Nareit-defined FFO related to the reporting of corporate depreciation and amortization expense. Our computation of FFO may also differ from the methodology for calculating FFO used by other equity REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REITs. FFO and AFFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP) as an indicator of our liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to pay dividends or make distributions. Where indicated in this release, FFO is based on our computation of FFO and not the computation of Nareit-defined FFO unless otherwise noted.

EBITDA, EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDAre, and Hotel EBITDA

In September 2017, Nareit proposed a standardized performance measure, called EBITDAre, which is based on EBITDA and is expected to provide additional relevant information about REITs as real estate companies in support of growing interest among generalist investors. The conclusion was reached that, while dedicated REIT investors have long been accustomed to utilizing the industry's supplemental measures such as FFO and net operating income ("NOI") to evaluate the investment quality of REITs as real estate companies, it would be helpful to generalist investors for REITs as real estate companies to also present EBITDAre as a more widely known and understood supplemental measure of performance. EBITDAre is intended to be a supplemental non-GAAP performance measure that is independent of a company's capital structure and will provide a uniform basis for one measurement of the enterprise value of a company compared to other REITs.

EBITDAre, as defined by Nareit, is calculated as EBITDA, excluding: (i) loss and gains on disposition of property and (ii) asset impairments, if any. We believe EBITDAre is useful to an investor in evaluating our operating performance because it provides investors with an indication of our ability to incur and service debt, to satisfy general operating expenses, to make capital expenditures and to fund other cash needs or reinvest cash into our business. We also believe it helps investors meaningfully evaluate and compare the results of our operations from period to period by removing the effect of our asset base (primarily depreciation and amortization) from our operating results.

We make additional adjustments to EBITDAre when evaluating our performance because we believe that the exclusion of certain additional non-recurring or unusual items described below provides useful supplemental information to investors regarding our on-going operating performance. We believe that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDAre, when combined with the primary GAAP presentation of net income, is useful to an investor in evaluating our operating performance because it provides investors with an indication of our ability to incur and service debt, to satisfy general operating expenses, to make capital expenditures and to fund other cash needs or reinvest cash into our business. We also believe it helps investors meaningfully evaluate and compare the results of our operations from period to period by removing the effect of our asset base (primarily depreciation and amortization) from our operating results.

With respect to hotel EBITDA, we believe that excluding the effect of corporate-level expenses and non-cash items provides a more complete understanding of the operating results over which individual hotels and operators have direct control. We believe the property-level results provide investors with supplemental information on the on-going operational performance of our hotels and effectiveness of the third-party management companies operating our business on a property-level basis.

We caution investors that amounts presented in accordance with our definitions of EBITDA, EBITDAre, adjusted EBITDAre, and hotel EBITDA may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by other companies, since not all companies calculate these non-GAAP measures in the same manner. EBITDA, EBITDAre, adjusted EBITDAre, and hotel EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative measure of our net income (loss) or operating performance. EBITDA, EBITDAre, adjusted EBITDAre, and hotel EBITDA may include funds that may not be available for our discretionary use due to functional requirements to conserve funds for capital expenditures and property acquisitions and other commitments and uncertainties. Although we believe that EBITDA, EBITDAre, adjusted EBITDAre, and hotel EBITDA can enhance your understanding of our financial condition and results of operations, these non-GAAP financial measures are not necessarily a better indicator of any trend as compared to a comparable GAAP measure such as net income (loss). Above, we include a quantitative reconciliation of EBITDA, EBITDAre, adjusted EBITDAre and hotel EBITDA to the most directly comparable GAAP financial performance measure, which is net income (loss) and operating income (loss).
