“Adjusted EBITDAre and Adjusted FFO exceeded our Outlook in the second quarter. The sustained recovery in demand within our urban markets was predominantly driven by recovering business travel, both group and transient, along with recovering leisure travelers returning to the cities for concerts, events and other activities. This largely offset moderating leisure room rates and premium room and suite purchases by the leisure customer at our resorts. In addition, displaced business from our repositioning projects during the quarter reduced hotel EBITDA by $6.5 million, or $1.0 million more than expected.
“As part of our strategic capital reallocation efforts, we completed the successful divestment of our two properties in Seattle, bringing total gross proceeds from sales this year to $232.3 million. Proceeds generated from our sales to date, after transaction costs, have been allocated towards reducing our net debt and repurchasing our common shares at a significant discount compared to the private market value of our portfolio. These strategic initiatives attest to our commitment to bolstering shareholder value while maintaining liquidity and a prudently leveraged balance sheet.”
–Jon E. Bortz, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Pebblebrook Hotel Trust

“Our urban hotels led the portfolio growth this quarter, with same-property occupancy rising 6.6%,” said Mr. Bortz. “This is a very positive sign and highlights that the recovery of our portfolio is progressing steadily, as business travel continues to make its way back to pre-pandemic levels. We believe this year-over-year growth would have been even higher, if not for the omicron-related rebookings from last year’s first quarter to the second quarter of 2022. This created a tougher comparison to the second quarter of 2022. We expect business travel to continue to improve in the second half of the year, led by group demand which is pacing ahead by 18.5% in group revenue for the second half of this year as compared to last year’s second half. Weekend demand also improved for our portfolio during the second quarter, at both our resorts and urban hotels. This demonstrates that leisure customers are still traveling, despite any macroeconomic concerns.”
Update on Impact from Hurricane Ian
The Company made significant progress restoring and reopening the 189-room LaPlaya Beach Resort & Club (“LaPlaya”) in Naples, Florida. The resort’s Bay Tower (40 rooms) and Gulf Tower (70 rooms) are now substantially restored and both are fully operational, with additional resort services and amenities progressively coming online. The Beach House (79 rooms), with its full-service spa and fitness center, is expected to be substantially completed and returned to service by the end of 2023.
Pebblebrook anticipates that all operational disruption will be covered under its business interruption and property insurance programs, net of deductibles. A preliminary business interruption settlement of $14.0 million was recorded in Q2 related to lost income from Q1 2023. The Company anticipates an additional preliminary business interruption settlement of approximately $10.5 million to be approved in Q3 2023 relating to lost business from Q2 2023. Pebblebrook expects to record additional business interruption settlements in 2023 as these are determined and finalized with its insurance providers.
Update on Strategic Dispositions
The Company completed two property dispositions during the quarter, generating $97.0 million in gross sales proceeds. This included the sales of Hotel Monaco Seattle (189 rooms) for $63.3 million and Hotel Vintage Seattle (125 rooms) for $33.7 million. Year to date, the Company has completed $232.3 million of property dispositions. Net proceeds from the Company’s dispositions are being used for general corporate purposes, including reducing the Company’s outstanding net debt and repurchasing common and preferred shares to further strengthen the Company’s balance sheet and enhance shareholder value.
Common Share Repurchases
In Q2 2023, the Company repurchased 3.6 million common shares at an average price of $13.97 per share. Since the start of our share repurchase initiatives in October 2022, the Company has repurchased over 11 million common shares, or approximately 8% of the Company’s outstanding common shares, at an average price of $14.51 per share, representing an approximate 50% discount to the midpoint of the Company’s most recently published Net Asset Value (“NAV”).
Capital Investments and Strategic Property Redevelopments
The Company made significant progress on its capital improvement program in the second quarter, completing $52.5 million of investments across its portfolio, which excludes capital expenditures related to the repair and remediation of LaPlaya. This includes the redevelopment and repositioning of Viceroy Santa Monica Hotel, Jekyll Island Club Resort, Estancia La Jolla Hotel & Spa, Hilton San Diego Gaslamp Quarter, and the redevelopment and upcoming reflagging of Hotel Solamar as Margaritaville Hotel San Diego Gaslamp Quarter. The Company’s second quarter 2023 RevPAR growth would have been 180 basis points higher by excluding the impact of these five properties on the portfolio.
The renovation of the four guesthouses (50 rooms/suites) at Southernmost Beach Resort in Key West, FL began this month, and the comprehensive redevelopment and repositioning of Newport Harbor Island Resort is slated to begin in the fourth quarter, with completion expected in Q2 2024.
For 2023, the Company expects to invest $145 to $155 million in capital improvements, which excludes capital expenditures related to the repair and remediation of LaPlaya. Since 2018, the Company has reinvested approximately $660 million into redeveloping its assets, including $325 million of ROI-generating investments. These ROI investments are expected to generate a healthy return on investment in line with the Company’s previous redevelopment and repositioning projects. By early 2024, substantially all of the Company’s properties will have been recently renovated, and future capital investments and repositionings are expected to be substantially reduced.
Balance Sheet and Liquidity
As of June 30, 2023, the Company had $823.7 million in liquidity, consisting of $186.3 million in cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash, plus $637.4 million of undrawn availability on its senior unsecured revolving credit facility.
The Company’s $2.4 billion of consolidated debt and convertible notes is well-structured, with an effective weighted-average interest rate of 4.3%. The majority of the debt and convertible notes, or 78%, is at an effective weighted-average fixed interest rate of 3.4%, which mitigates the exposure to rising interest rates. The remaining 22% of the Company’s debt is at a floating interest rate of 7.5%. In addition, approximately 91% of the Company’s outstanding debt is unsecured, and the weighted-average maturity is 2.8 years. The Company has no meaningful debt maturities until Q4 2024.
Common and Preferred Dividends
On June 15, 2023, the Company declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.01 per share on its common shares and a regular quarterly cash dividend for the following preferred shares of beneficial interest.
- $0.39844 per 6.375% Series E Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Share;
- $0.39375 per 6.3% Series F Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Share;
- $0.39844 per 6.375% Series G Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Share; and
- $0.35625 per 5.7% Series H Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Share.
Update on Curator Hotel & Resort Collection

Q3 2023 Outlook
Based on current trends and assuming no material disruptions to travel caused by pandemics or worsening macro-economic conditions, the Company’s outlook for Q3 2023 is as follows:
Q3 2023 Outlook | ||
| Low | High |
($ and shares/units in millions, except per share and RevPAR data)
| ||
Net income | $14.6 | $20.6 |
Adjusted EBITDAre | $110.0 | $116.0 |
Adjusted FFO | $68.0 | $74.0 |
Adjusted FFO per diluted share | $0.56 | $0.61 |
This Q3 2023 Outlook is based, in part, on the following estimates and assumptions:
Same-Property RevPAR | $232 | $239 |
Same-Property RevPAR variance vs. 2022 | (2.0%) | 1.0% |
Same-Property EBITDA | $109.5 | $115.5 |
Same-Property EBITDA variance vs. 2022 | (11.0%) | (6.1%) |
This outlook incorporates the Company’s best estimate at this time ($0.5 million of Same-Property EBITDA) of the negative impact of the Writers and Screen Actors Guild strikes in Los Angeles, which is negatively impacting business demand at the Company’s hotels in Los Angeles. It also incorporates a $1.0 million negative impact to Same-Property EBITDA from the completion of our redevelopment projects.
The third quarter outlook assumes an estimated $10.5 million for an additional preliminary business interruption settlement at LaPlaya relating to lost income from the second quarter of 2023. This amount affects the Company’s Adjusted EBITDAre, Adjusted FFO, and net income.

Considerations Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures | ||
This press release includes certain non-GAAP financial measures. These measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative to, measures prepared in accordance with GAAP and may be different from similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with the Company’s results of operations determined in accordance with GAAP. Funds from Operations (“FFO”) – FFO represents net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains or losses from sales of properties, plus real estate-related depreciation and amortization and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships. The Company considers FFO a useful measure of performance for an equity REIT because it facilitates an understanding of the Company’s operating performance without giving effect to real estate depreciation and amortization, which assume that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, the Company believes that FFO provides a meaningful indication of its performance. The Company also considers FFO an appropriate performance measure given its wide use by investors and analysts. The Company computes FFO in accordance with standards established by the Board of Governors of Nareit in its March 1995 White Paper (as amended in November 1999 and April 2002), which may differ from the methodology for calculating FFO utilized by other equity REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to that of other REITs. Further, FFO does not represent amounts available for management’s discretionary use because of needed capital replacement or expansion, debt service obligations or other commitments and uncertainties, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund the Company’s cash needs, including its ability to make distributions. The Company presents FFO per diluted share calculations that are based on the outstanding dilutive common shares plus the outstanding Operating Partnership units for the periods presented. Earnings before Interest, Taxes, and Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”) – The Company believes that EBITDA provides investors a useful financial measure to evaluate its operating performance, excluding the impact of our capital structure (primarily interest expense) and our asset base (primarily depreciation and amortization). Earnings before Interest, Taxes, and Depreciation and Amortization for Real Estate (“EBITDAre”) – The Company believes that EBITDAre provides investors a useful financial measure to evaluate its operating performance, and the Company presents EBITDAre in accordance with Nareit guidelines, as defined in its September 2017 white paper “Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization for Real Estate.” EBITDAre adjusts EBITDA for the following items, which may occur in any period, and refers to these measures as Adjusted EBITDAre: (1) gains or losses on the disposition of depreciated property, including gains or losses on change of control; (2) impairment write-downs of depreciated property and of investments in unconsolidated affiliates caused by a decrease in value of depreciated property in the affiliate; and (3) adjustments to reflect the entity’s share of EBITDAre of unconsolidated affiliates. The Company also evaluates its performance by reviewing Adjusted FFO and Adjusted EBITDAre because it believes that adjusting FFO to exclude certain recurring and non-recurring items described below provides useful supplemental information regarding the Company’s ongoing operating performance and that the presentation of Adjusted FFO and Adjusted EBITDAre, when combined with the primary GAAP presentation of net income (loss), more completely describes the Company’s operating performance. The Company adjusts FFO available to common share and unit holders for the following items, which may occur in any period, and refers to this measure as Adjusted FFO and Adjusted EBITDAre: – Transaction costs: The Company excludes transaction costs expensed during the period because it believes that including these costs in FFO does not reflect the underlying financial performance of the Company and its hotels. The Company presents weighted-average number of basic and fully diluted common shares and units by excluding the dilutive effect of shares issuable upon conversion of convertible debt. The Company’s presentation of FFO and Adjusted EBITDAre as adjusted by the Company, should not be considered as an alternative to net income (computed in accordance with GAAP) as an indicator of the Company’s financial performance or to cash flow from operating activities (computed in accordance with GAAP) as an indicator of its liquidity. The Company’s presentation of EBITDAre, and as adjusted by the Company, should not be considered as an alternative to net income (computed in accordance with GAAP) as an indicator of the Company’s financial performance or to cash flow from operating activities (computed in accordance with GAAP) as an indicator of its liquidity. | ||
