HOTEL OPERATING RESULTS

Management assesses the operating performance of its hotels irrespective of the hotel owner during the periods compared using the following key operating metrics: occupancy, ADR, RevPAR, Adjusted Hotel EBITDA, and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA Margin. The Trust uses the term "pro forma" to refer to metrics that include, or comparisons of metrics that are based on, the operating results of hotels under previous ownership for either a portion of or the entire period. As of June 30, 2016, the Trust owned 22 hotels. Since two of its hotels owned as of June 30, 2016 were acquired during 2015, the key operating metrics below reflect the pro forma operating results for those hotels for all, or a certain period, of the three and six months ended June 30, 2015.
