Dave Folsom, President and Chief Executive Officer of Sotherly Hotels Inc., commented, "The fourth quarter continued the positive trends we witnessed in 2024, as both total revenues and Hotel EBITDA saw incremental increases over the fourth quarter of 2023. In the quarter, total revenues were $44.0 million, an increase of $1.8 million over the fourth quarter of 2023. For the full year, Sotherly’s total revenues continued to grow, increasing by 4.6%, or more than $8.0 million to $181.9 million. For 2024, total Hotel EBITDA increased $2.0 million to $46.8 million, a 4.5% increase. Throughout 2024, Sotherly continued to successfully navigate the mortgage markets, by completing refinancings or extensions of mortgages at several of its hotels, including the DoubleTree at the Philadelphia Airport; Hotel Alba, in Tampa; and the DoubleTree in Jacksonville, Florida. Concurrently, the Company continues its efforts in executing life cycle improvements in conjunction with the renewal of Hilton franchises at its DoubleTree locations in Philadelphia and Jacksonville. Restoration of post Hurricane Helene damage at the Hotel Alba in Tampa continues to proceed. The hotel was fully operational in Q4. To date, the work associated with this fully insured casualty, including significant business interruption insurance proceeds, has been efficiently executed and only final FF&E replacements and elevator work remain to be accomplished. Looking ahead to 2025, Sotherly is encouraged by ongoing improvements in demand at many of our markets that were slow to recover following the pandemic. Our hotels in Houston, Atlanta, Hollywood (Florida), and Philadelphia continue to meet enhanced revenue and profitability targets as we transition into Q1 of 2025, which is an encouraging sign for the total portfolio." Balance Sheet/Liquidity As of December 31, 2024, the Company had approximately $28.7 million of available cash and cash equivalents, of which approximately $21.4 million was reserved for real estate taxes, insurance, capital improvements and certain other expenses or otherwise restricted.

These measures do not represent cash generated from operating activities determined by generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) or amounts available for the Company’s discretionary use and should not be considered alternative measures of net income, cash flows from operations or any other operating performance measure prescribed by GAAP. FFO Industry analysts and investors use FFO as a supplemental operating performance measure of an equity REIT. FFO is calculated in accordance with the definition adopted by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”). FFO, as defined by NAREIT, represents net income or loss determined in accordance with GAAP, excluding extraordinary items as defined under GAAP, gains or losses from sales of previously depreciated operating real estate assets, gains or losses from involuntary conversions of assets, plus certain non-cash items such as real estate asset depreciation and amortization or impairment, and adjustment for any noncontrolling interest from unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with GAAP implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values instead have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, many investors and analysts have considered the presentation of operating results for real estate companies that use historical cost accounting to be insufficient by itself. The Company considers FFO to be a useful measure of adjusted net income (loss) for reviewing comparative operating and financial performance because we believe FFO is most directly comparable to net income (loss), which remains the primary measure of performance, because by excluding gains or losses related to sales of previously depreciated operating real estate assets and excluding real estate asset depreciation and amortization, FFO assists in comparing the operating performance of a company’s real estate between periods or as compared to different companies. Although FFO is intended to be a REIT industry standard, other companies may not calculate FFO in the same manner as we do, and investors should not assume that FFO as reported by us is comparable to FFO as reported by other REITs. Adjusted FFO The Company presents Adjusted FFO, including Adjusted FFO per share and unit, which adjusts for certain additional items that are not in NAREIT’s definition of FFO including changes in deferred income taxes, any unrealized gain (loss) on hedging instruments, losses on early extinguishment of debt, gains on extinguishment of preferred stock, aborted offering costs, loan modification fees, franchise termination costs, costs associated with the departure of executive officers, litigation settlement, management contract termination costs, operating asset depreciation and amortization, gain or loss on a change in control, ESOP and stock compensation expenses and negative lease amortization on our finance ground lease obligation. We exclude these items as we believe it allows for meaningful comparisons between periods and among other REITs and is more indicative than FFO of the on-going performance of our business and assets. Our calculation of Adjusted FFO may be different from similar measures calculated by other REITs. EBITDA The Company believes that excluding the effect of non-operating expenses and non-cash charges, and the portion of those items related to unconsolidated entities, all of which are also based on historical cost accounting and may be of limited significance in evaluating current performance, can help eliminate the accounting effects of depreciation and financing decisions and facilitate comparisons of core operating profitability between periods and between REITs, even though EBITDA also does not represent an amount that accrues directly to shareholders. Hotel EBITDA The Company defines Hotel EBITDA as net income or loss excluding: (1) interest expense, (2) interest income, (3) income tax provision or benefit, (4) depreciation and amortization, (5) impairment of long-lived assets or investments, (6) gains and losses on disposal and/or sale of assets, (7) gains and losses on involuntary conversions of assets, (8) realized or unrealized gains and losses on derivative instruments not included in other comprehensive income, (9) other income at the properties, (10) loss on early debt extinguishment, (11) Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) debt forgiveness, (12) gain on exercise of development right, (13) corporate general and administrative expense, and (14) other income not related to our wholly-owned portfolio. We believe this provides a more complete understanding of the operating results over which our wholly-owned hotels and its operators have direct control. We believe Hotel EBITDA provides investors with supplemental information on the on-going operational performance of our hotels and the effectiveness of third-party management companies operating our business on a property-level basis. The Company’s calculation of Hotel EBITDA may be different from similar measures calculated by other REITs.
