Additional detail on the Company’s results, including data for 21 domestic markets, is available in the Second Quarter 2021 Supplemental Financial Information available on the Company’s website at www.hosthotels.com.

James F. Risoleo, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “During the second quarter, we were extremely encouraged to see positive trends across the lodging industry and our portfolio, as our hotel operations continued to exceed our expectations. RevPAR reached nearly $100 for the quarter, which dramatically outperformed consensus RevPAR, with average room rates only 8.4% below our 2019 second quarter rates. These RevPAR gains have translated into significant sequential improvements in our bottom line as expense saving initiatives have been implemented by our managers, supplemented in part by the challenging labor environment.”

Risoleo continued, “Subsequent to quarter end, we completed two additional opportunistic acquisitions – Baker’s Cay Resort in Key Largo and a luxury hotel in downtown Houston. We believe these assets will provide meaningful opportunities for EBITDA growth and continue to improve the quality of our portfolio. Thus far in 2021, we have invested $1.1 billion in new assets. Additionally, we opportunistically issued 7.8 million shares of common stock through our “at-the-market” program at an average price of approximately $18 per share for total net proceeds of $138 million, which further strengthened our balance sheet. We remain encouraged by the continued improvement in lodging fundamentals and we believe our strong capital allocation decisions over the past few years will drive stockholder value through the upcoming lodging cycle.”
