Chatham Lodging Trust (CLDT)

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Overview

Chatham Lodging Trust (“we,” “us” or the “Company”) was formed as a Maryland real estate investment trust on October 26, 2009. The Company is internally managed and was organized to invest primarily in upscale extended-stay and premium-branded select-service hotels. The Company has elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust for federal income tax purposes ("REIT").

The Company had no operations prior to the consummation of its initial public offering ("IPO") in April 2010. The net proceeds from our share offerings are contributed to Chatham Lodging, L.P., our operating partnership (the “Operating Partnership”), in exchange for partnership interests. Substantially all of the Company’s assets are held by, and all operations are conducted through, the Operating Partnership. The Company is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership and owns 100% of the common units of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership ("common units"). Certain of the Company’s executive officers hold vested and unvested long-term incentive plan units in the Operating Partnership ("LTIP units"), which are presented as non-controlling interests on our consolidated balance sheets.

As of December 31, 2024, the Company owned 37 hotels with an aggregate of 5,596 rooms located in 16 states and the District of Columbia.

To qualify as a REIT, the Company cannot operate its hotels. Therefore, the Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries lease the Company's hotels to taxable REIT subsidiary lessees (“TRS Lessees”), which are wholly owned by the Company’s taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”) holding company. Each hotel is leased to a TRS Lessee under a percentage lease that provides for rental payments equal to the greater of (i) a fixed base rent amount or (ii) a percentage rent based on hotel revenue. Lease revenue from each TRS Lessee is eliminated in consolidation.

The TRS Lessees have entered into management agreements with third-party management companies that provide day-to-day management for the hotels. As of December 31, 2024, Island Hospitality Management Inc. (“IHM”), which is 100% owned by Jeffrey H. Fisher, the Company's Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, managed all of the Company’s hotels.

Key Indicators of Operating Performance and Financial Condition

We measure financial condition and hotel operating performance by evaluating non-financial and financial metrics and measures such as:

•Average Daily Rate (“ADR”), which is the quotient of room revenue divided by total rooms sold,

•Occupancy, which is the quotient of total rooms sold divided by total rooms available,

•Revenue Per Available Room (“RevPAR”), which is the product of occupancy and ADR, and does not include food and beverage revenue, or other operating revenue,

•Funds From Operations (“FFO”),

•Adjusted FFO,

•Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”),

•EBITDAre,

•Adjusted EBITDA, and

•Adjusted Hotel EBITDA.

We evaluate the hotels in our portfolio and potential acquisitions using these metrics to determine each hotel’s contribution toward providing income to our shareholders through increases in distributable cash flow and increasing long-term total returns through appreciation in the value of our common shares. RevPAR, ADR and Occupancy are hotel industry measures commonly used to evaluate operating performance.

See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for further discussion of FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA, EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA.

Results of Operations

Comparison of the year ended December 31, 2024 to the year ended December 31, 2023

The section below provides a comparative discussion of our consolidated results of operations between fiscal year 2024 and 2023. See Item 7, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 for comparative a discussion of our consolidated results of operations between fiscal 2023 and fiscal 2022.

Results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2024 include the operating activities of the 36 hotels we owned for the entire period and partial year results for three hotels sold during the period and one hotel acquired during the period. We sold one hotel located in Denver, CO on January 9, 2024, sold one hotel located in Maitland, FL on December 6, 2024, and sold one hotel located in Bloomington, MN on December 16, 2024. We acquired one hotel located in Phoenix, AZ on May 30, 2024. The changes in results described below were driven primarily by the continued recovery of business travel following the COVID-19 pandemic, the sale of three hotels, the acquisition of one hotel, and inflationary cost pressures.

Revenue

Revenue, which consists primarily of room, food and beverage and other operating revenues from our hotels, was as follows for the periods indicated (dollars in thousands):

Total revenue increased $6.1 million to $317.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to total revenue of $311.1 million for the 2023 period. The increase in total revenue primarily was related to the 2.8% increase in same property RevPAR, the acquisition of one hotel on May 30, 2024, partially offset by the decrease in revenue from the sales of three hotels during the year ended December 31, 2024. The one hotel acquired during the year ended December 31, 2024, which was not owned during the year ended December 31, 2023, contributed $3.3 million of room revenue during the year ended December 31, 2024. This was partially offset by the decrease in revenue from the sale of three hotels that contributed $10.4 million in room revenue for the year ended December 31, 2024, down $6.3 million from the $16.7 million these hotels contributed for the year ended December 31, 2023. Since all of our hotels are select-service or limited-service hotels, room revenue is the primary revenue source as these hotels do not have significant food and beverage revenue or large group conference facilities. Room revenue comprised 91.5% and 91.6% of total revenue for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Room revenue was $290.3 million and $285.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and the increase in room revenue primarily was related to the same factors discussed above.

Food and beverage revenue was $7.7 million and $8.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The decrease in food and beverage revenue was related to the sale of three hotels.

Other revenue, comprised of parking, meeting room, gift shop, in-room movie and other ancillary amenities revenue, increased $1.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase in other operating revenue primarily was related to increases in revenue from parking.

Reimbursed costs from related parties were $1.1 million and $1.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The cost reimbursements were offset by the reimbursed costs from related parties included in operating expenses.

As reported by Smith Travel Research, U.S. lodging industry RevPAR for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 increased 1.8% and increased 4.9%, respectively, as compared to the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022. Smith

43

Travel Research reported that U.S. lodging industry RevPAR increased 0.2% in the first quarter of 2024, increased 2.5% in the second quarter of 2024, increased 0.9% in the third quarter of 2024 and increased 3.6% in the fourth quarter of 2024. We expect that in 2025, lodging industry RevPAR will continue to increase modestly.

In the table below, we present both actual and same property room revenue metrics. Actual Occupancy, ADR and RevPAR metrics reflect the performance of the hotels for the actual days such hotels were owned by the Company during the periods presented. Same property Occupancy, ADR, and RevPAR reflect results for the hotels owned by the Company as of December 31, 2024 that have been in operation for a full year regardless of our ownership during the period presented, which is a non-GAAP financial measure. Results for the hotels for the periods prior to our ownership were provided to us by prior owners and have not been adjusted by us.

Same property RevPAR increased 2.8% due to an increase in occupancy of 2.4% and an increase in ADR of 0.4%.

Hotel Operating Expenses

Hotel operating expenses consisted of the following for the periods indicated (dollars in thousands):

Hotel operating expenses increased $5.8 million, or 3.3%, to $181.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 from $175.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. The increase in hotel operating expenses was related to the increase in revenues and occupancy caused by the continued recovery of business travel following the COVID-19 pandemic, increases in staffing levels, wage and benefit costs, insurance costs, and inflation. The one hotel acquired during the year ended December 31, 2024, which was not owned during the year ended December 31, 2023, contributed $2.2 million of operating expenses during the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase was partially offset by the sale of three hotels during the year ended December 31, 2024 that contributed $7.3 million of operating expenses during the year ended December 31, 2024, down $4.6 million from the $11.9 million the sold hotels contributed during the year ended December 31, 2023.

44

Room expenses, which are the most significant component of hotel operating expenses, increased $3.5 million from $61.8 million in 2023 to $65.3 million in 2024. The increase in room expenses was related to an increase in occupancies and revenues at our hotels due to the continued recovery of business travel following the COVID-19 pandemic, increased staffing levels, wage and benefit costs, and inflation.

The remaining hotel operating expenses increased $2.3 million, or 2.0%, from $113.6 million in 2023 to $115.9 million in 2024. The increase in other remaining expenses primarily was related to an increase in occupancies and revenues at our hotels due to the continued recovery of business travel following the COVID-19 pandemic, increased insurance costs and inflation.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization expense increased $2.4 million from $58.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 to $60.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. Depreciation is generally recorded on our assets over 40 years for buildings, 20 years for land improvements, 15 years for building improvements and one to ten years for hotel furniture, fixtures and equipment from the date of acquisition on a straight-line basis. Depreciable lives of hotel furniture, fixtures and equipment are generally assumed to be the difference between the date of acquisition and the date that the furniture, fixtures and equipment will be replaced. Amortization of franchise fees is recorded on a straight-line basis over the term of the respective franchise agreement.

Impairment Loss

Impairment loss was $4.3 million and $4.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The impairment loss in 2024 was due to the impairment recorded on a hotel property which is under contract to be sold. The impairment loss in 2023 was due to the impairment recorded on the HGI Denver Tech hotel property which was sold on January 9, 2024.

Property Taxes, Ground Rent and Insurance

Total property taxes, ground rent and insurance expenses increased $0.2 million from $23.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 to $23.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase primarily was related to increases in property tax assessments and an increase in insurance costs partially offset by successful property tax appeals at multiple hotel properties.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses principally consist of employee-related costs, including base payroll, bonuses and amortization of restricted stock and awards of LTIP units. These expenses also include corporate operating costs, professional fees and trustees’ fees. Total general and administrative expenses (excluding amortization of stock based compensation of $6.4 million and $6.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively) increased $0.6 million to $12.0 million in 2024 from $11.4 million in 2023.

Other Charges

Other charges decreased from $2.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 to $0.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The decrease primarily was related to the 2023 write-off of $2.2 million of previous expenditures related to the development of a hotel in California that the Company decided to no longer pursue.

Reimbursable Costs from Related Parties

Reimbursable costs from related parties, comprised of shared office expenses and rent, were $1.1 million and $1.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The cost reimbursements were offset by the

cost reimbursements from related parties included in revenues.

Gain on Sale of Hotel Properties

45

Gain on the sale of hotel properties increased $5.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to the year ended December 31, 2023. The HGI Denver Tech hotel property was sold on January 9, 2024, the HWS Maitland hotel property was sold on December 6, 2024, and the HWS Bloomington hotel property was sold on December 16, 2024, which resulted in a total gain of $5.7 million.

Interest and Other Income

Interest on cash and cash equivalents and other income increased $0.2 million from $1.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 to $1.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase was due to higher cash balances and higher interest rates received on cash balances during the year ended December 31, 2024.

Interest Expense, Including Amortization of Deferred Fees

Interest expense increased $3.8 million, or 13.8%, from $27.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 to $30.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. Interest expense is comprised of the following (dollars in thousands):

The increase in interest expense was due to the refinancing of maturing debt which had interest rates below current levels.

Loss on Early Extinguishment of Debt

Loss on early extinguishment of debt decreased $0.7 million from $0.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 to $17 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2024. The loss in 2023 is related to the Company's repayment of the construction loan on the Home2 Woodland Hills hotel property.

Gain from Partial Lease Termination

Gain from partial lease termination decreased $0.2 million from $0.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. The gain in 2023 is related to the Company's termination of a portion of its corporate office lease to vacate and surrender possession of 7,374 rentable square feet in exchange for an early termination payment of $0.1 million.

Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense remained unchanged at zero for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023. We are subject to income taxes based on the taxable income of our TRS Lessees at a combined federal and state tax rate of approximately 25%. The Company's TRS is expecting the taxable income in 2024 to be offset by prior year net operating losses and recognizes a full valuation allowance equal to 100% of the net deferred tax assets due to the uncertainty of the TRS's ability to utilize these net deferred tax assets.

Net Income

Net income was $4.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to net income of $2.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. The change in net income primarily was due to the factors discussed above.

Material Trends or Uncertainties

46

We are not aware of any material trends or uncertainties, favorable or unfavorable, that may be reasonably anticipated to have a material impact on either the capital resources or the revenues or income to be derived from the acquisition and operation of properties, loans and other permitted investments, other than those referred to in this section and the risk factors identified in the “Risk Factors” section of this Annual Report on this Form 10-K.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We consider the following non-GAAP financial measures useful to investors as key supplemental measures of our operating performance: (1) FFO, (2) Adjusted FFO, (3) EBITDA, (4) EBITDAre, (5) Adjusted EBITDA and (6) Adjusted Hotel EBITDA. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered along with, but not as alternatives to, net income or loss as prescribed by GAAP as a measure of our operating performance.

FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA, EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA do not represent cash generated from operating activities under GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to net income or loss, cash flows from operations or any other operating performance measure prescribed by GAAP. FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA, EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA are not measures of our liquidity, nor are FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA, EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDA or Adjusted Hotel EBITDA indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to make cash distributions. These measurements do not reflect cash expenditures for long-term assets and other items that have been and will be incurred. FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA, EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA may include funds that may not be available for management’s discretionary use due to functional requirements to conserve funds for capital expenditures, property acquisitions, and other commitments and uncertainties.

We calculate FFO in accordance with standards established by Nareit, which defines FFO as net income or loss (calculated in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains or losses from sales of real estate, impairment write-downs, the cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles, plus depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs), and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures following the same approach. We believe that the presentation of FFO provides useful information to investors regarding our operating performance because it measures our performance without regard to specified non-cash items such as real estate depreciation and amortization, gain or loss on sale of real estate assets and certain other items that we believe are not indicative of the property level performance of our hotel properties. We believe that these items reflect historical cost of our asset base and our acquisition and disposition activities and are less reflective of our ongoing operations, and that by adjusting to exclude the effects of the items, FFO is useful to investors in comparing our operating performance between periods and between REITs that report FFO using the Nareit definition.

We calculate Adjusted FFO by further adjusting FFO for certain additional items that are not addressed in Nareit’s definition of FFO, including other charges, losses on the early extinguishment of debt and similar items related to our unconsolidated real estate entities that we believe do not represent costs related to hotel operations. We believe that Adjusted FFO provides investors with another financial measure that may facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods and between REITs that make similar adjustments to FFO.

47

The following is a reconciliation of net income (loss) to FFO and Adjusted FFO for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022 (in thousands, except share data):

Diluted weighted average common share count used for calculation of adjusted FFO per share may differ from diluted weighted average common share count used for calculation of GAAP Net Income per share by LTIP units, which may be converted to common shares of beneficial interest, and if Net Income per share is negative and Adjusted FFO is positive. Unvested restricted shares and unvested LTIP units that could potentially dilute basic earnings per share in the future would not be included in the computation of diluted loss per share for the periods where a loss has been recorded because they would have been anti-dilutive for the periods presented.

EBITDA is defined as net income or loss excluding: (1) interest expense; (2) provision for income taxes, including income taxes applicable to sale of assets; (3) depreciation and amortization; and (4) unconsolidated real estate entity items including interest, depreciation and amortization excluding gains and losses from sales of real estate. We consider EBITDA useful to an investor in evaluating and facilitating comparisons of our operating performance between periods and between REITs by removing the impact of our capital structure (primarily interest expense) and asset base (primarily depreciation and amortization) from our operating results. In addition, EBITDA is used as one measure in determining the value of hotel acquisitions and dispositions.

In addition to EBITDA, we present EBITDAre in accordance with Nareit guidelines, which defines EBITDAre as net income or loss excluding interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization expense, gains or losses from sales of real estate, impairment, and adjustments for unconsolidated joint ventures. We believe that the presentation of EBITDAre provides useful information to investors regarding the Company's operating performance and can facilitate comparison of operating performance between periods and between REITs.

We also present Adjusted EBITDA which includes additional adjustments for items such as other charges, gains or losses on extinguishment of indebtedness, amortization of share-based compensation and certain other expenses that we consider outside the normal course of operations. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA provides useful supplemental information to investors regarding our ongoing operating performance that, when considered with net income, EBITDA and EBITDAre, is beneficial to an investor's understanding of our performance.

48

The following is a reconciliation of net income (loss) to EBITDA, EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDA for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022 (in thousands):

Adjusted Hotel EBITDA is defined as net income before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, corporate general and administrative, impairment loss, loss on early extinguishment of debt, other charges, interest and other income, losses on sales of hotel properties and income or loss from unconsolidated real estate entities. We present Adjusted Hotel EBITDA because we believe it is useful to investors in comparing our hotel operating performance between periods and comparing our Adjusted Hotel EBITDA margins to those of our peer companies. Adjusted Hotel EBITDA represents the results of operations for our wholly owned hotels only.

The following is a presentation of Adjusted Hotel EBITDA for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022 (in thousands):

49

Although we present FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA, EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA because we believe they are useful to investors in comparing our operating performance between periods and between REITs that report similar measures, these measures have limitations as analytical tools. Some of these limitations are:

•FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA, EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA do not reflect our cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;

•FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA, EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;

•FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA, EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA do not reflect funds available to make cash distributions;

•EBITDA, EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA do not reflect the significant interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on our debts;

•Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized may need to be replaced in the future, and FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA, EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA do not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements;

•Non-cash compensation is and will remain a key element of our overall long-term incentive compensation package, although we exclude it as an expense when evaluating our ongoing operating performance for a particular period using Adjusted EBITDA;

•Adjusted FFO, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA do not reflect the impact of certain cash charges (including acquisition transaction costs) that result from matters we consider not to be indicative of the underlying performance of our hotel properties;

•Other companies in our industry may calculate FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA, EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA differently than we do, limiting their usefulness as a comparative measure; and

•FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA, EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA do not represent cash generated from operating activities as determined by GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to net income or loss, cash flows from operations or any other operating performance measure prescribed by GAAP. FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA, EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA are not measures of our liquidity.

Because of these limitations, FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA, EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA only supplementally. Our consolidated financial statements and the notes to those statements included elsewhere are prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We plan to maintain a prudent capital structure and intend to maintain our leverage over the long term at a ratio of net debt to investment in hotels (at cost) (defined as our initial acquisition price plus the gross amount of any subsequent capital investment) at a level that will be similar to the levels at which we have operated in the past. A subsequent decrease in hotel property values will not necessarily cause us to repay debt to comply with this limitation. At December 31, 2024, our leverage ratio was approximately 23.1%, which decreased from 24.8% at December 31, 2023 based on the ratio of our net debt (total debt outstanding before deferred financing costs less unrestricted cash and cash equivalents) to hotel investments at cost. At December 31, 2024, we had total debt of $409.2 million at an average rate of approximately 6.8%. We intend to continue to fund our investments with a prudent balance of debt and equity. Our debt may include mortgage debt collateralized by our hotel properties and unsecured debt.

At December 31, 2024 and 2023, we had $110.0 million and $0, respectively, in outstanding borrowings under our revolving credit facility. We had $140.0 million and $90.0 million in outstanding borrowings under our unsecured term loan at December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. At December 31, 2024, the maximum remaining borrowing availability under our revolving credit facility was $150.0 million. We also had mortgage debt on individual hotels aggregating $159.2 million and $396.1 million at December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

50

On October 28, 2022, Chatham entered into a $215.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility and a $90.0 million unsecured delayed-draw term loan facility that replaced the Company’s previous $250 million revolving credit facility that was scheduled to mature on March 8, 2023. The revolving credit facility has an initial maturity of October 28, 2026 and provides two six-month extension options. The unsecured delayed-draw term loan facility has an initial maturity of October 28, 2025 and provides two one-year extension options. On December 19, 2022, Chatham executed an amendment to its unsecured revolving credit facility, increasing commitments by $45.0 million for a total borrowing capacity of $260.0 million. On May 3, 2024, the Company amended its funded unsecured term loan to increase its size from $90.0 million to $140.0 million, its current balance outstanding as of December 31, 2024. Combined with its $140.0 million unsecured delayed-draw term loan, Chatham has $400.0 million of total commitments under the new facilities. Pricing on the new facilities is based on SOFR plus a spread of 1.50% to 2.25% for the revolving credit facility and a spread of 1.45% to 2.20% for the unsecured delayed-draw term loan facility based on the Company's leverage, and a credit spread adjustment of 0.10%.

Our revolving credit facility and unsecured delayed-draw term loan contain representations, warranties, covenants, terms and conditions customary for credit facilities of this type, including a maximum leverage ratio, a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio and minimum net worth financial covenants, limitations on (i) liens, (ii) incurrence of debt, (iii) investments, (iv) distributions, and (v) mergers and asset dispositions, covenants to preserve corporate existence and comply with laws, covenants on the use of proceeds of the revolving credit facility and default provisions, including defaults for non-payment, breach of representations and warranties, insolvency, non-performance of covenants, cross-defaults and guarantor defaults. We were in compliance with all financial covenants at December 31, 2024.

Our mortgage debt agreements contain “cash trap” provisions that are triggered when the hotel’s operating results fall below a certain debt service coverage ratio or debt yield. When these provisions are triggered, all of the excess cash flow generated by the hotel is deposited directly into cash management accounts for the benefit of our lenders until a specified debt service coverage ratio or debt yield is reached. Such provisions do not allow the lender the right to accelerate repayment of the underlying debt. As of December 31, 2024, one of our mortgage debt lenders have enforced cash trap provisions resulting in $0.2 million of restricted cash. We do not expect that such cash traps will affect our ability to satisfy our short-term liquidity requirements.

In December 2017, we established a $50 million dividend reinvestment and stock purchase plan (the "DRSPP") which we renewed in December 2020 and renewed again in January 2024. Under the DRSPP, shareholders may purchase additional common shares by reinvesting some or all of the cash dividends received on common shares. Shareholders may also make optional cash purchases of the Company's common shares subject to certain limitations detailed in the prospectus for the DRSPP. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company issued 5,844 common shares under the DRSPP at a weighted average price of $9.15, which generated $53 thousand of proceeds. As of December 31, 2024, there was approximately $49.9 million in common shares available for issuance under the DRSPP.

In January 2021, we established an "at-the-market" equity offering program (the "ATM Program") whereby, from time to time, we may publicly offer and sell our common shares having an aggregate offering price of up to $100 million by means of ordinary brokers transactions on the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE"), in negotiated transactions or in transactions deemed to be "at-the-market" offerings as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Cantor Fitzgerald & Co., Barclays Capital Inc., BMO Capital Markets Corp., BofA Securities, Inc., BTIG, LLC, Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Regions Securities LLC, Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated and Wells Fargo Securities act as sales agents under the ATM Program. The Company did not issue any shares under the ATM Program during the year ended December 31, 2024. As of December 31, 2024, there was approximately $77.5 million in common shares available for issuance under the ATM Program.

We expect to meet our short-term liquidity requirements generally through existing cash balances and availability under our revolving credit facility and unsecured term loan. We believe that our existing cash balances and availability under our revolving credit facility and unsecured term loan will be adequate to fund operating obligations, pay interest on any borrowings and fund dividends in accordance with the requirements for qualification as a REIT under the Code. We expect to meet our long-term liquidity requirements, such as hotel property acquisitions and debt maturities or repayments through borrowings under our revolving credit facility and unsecured term loan, additional long-term secured and unsecured borrowings, the issuance of additional equity or debt securities or the possible sale of existing assets.

We intend to continue to invest in hotel properties as suitable opportunities arise. We intend to finance our future investments with free cash flow, the net proceeds from additional issuances of common and preferred shares, issuances of common units in our Operating Partnership or other securities, borrowings or asset sales. The success of our acquisition strategy depends, in part, on our ability to access additional capital through other sources. There can be no assurance that we will continue to make investments in properties that meet our investment criteria. Additionally, we may choose to dispose of certain hotels as a means to provide liquidity.

51

We had no material off-balance sheet arrangements at December 31, 2024.

Sources and Uses of Cash

Our principal sources of cash include net cash from operations, availability under our revolving credit facility, proceeds from debt and equity issuances, and proceeds from the sale of hotel properties. Our principal uses of cash include acquisitions, capital expenditures, operating costs, corporate expenditures, interest costs, debt repayments and distributions to equity holders.

Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash totaled $29.8 million as of December 31, 2024, a decrease of $55.9 million from December 31, 2023, primarily due to net cash provided by operating activities of $73.8 million, net cash used in investing activities of $29.2 million, and net cash used in financing activities $100.6 million.

Cash from Operations

Net cash flows provided by operating activities decreased $2.6 million to $73.8 million in 2024 compared to $76.4 million in 2023. The decrease in cash from operating activities was primarily due to an increase in interest expense.

Investing Activities Cash Flows

Net cash flows used in investing activities increased $1.1 million to $(29.2) million in 2024 compared to $(28.1) million in 2023. For the year ended December 31, 2024, net cash flows used in investing activities of $(29.2) million consisted of $30.6 million related to capital improvements on our hotels, $43.7 million related to the acquisition of one hotel, and $0.7 million of payments of franchise application costs, partially offset by $45.9 million in net proceeds related to the sale of three hotels For the year ended December 31, 2023, net cash flows used in investing activities of $28.1 million consisted of $28.1 million related to capital improvements on our hotels.

We expect to invest approximately $25.7 million on renovations, discretionary and emergency expenditures on our existing hotels in 2025, including improvements required under any brand property improvement plan ("PIP").

Financing Activities Cash Flows

Net cash flows used in financing activities increased $92.8 million to $(100.6) million in 2024 compared to $(7.7) million in 2023. For the year ended December 31, 2024, net cash flows used in financing activities of $(100.6) million were comprised of the repayment of mortgage debt of $297.2 million, distributions to common share and unit holders of $14.4 million, distributions on preferred shares of $8.0 million, payments of financing costs of $1.1 million, and payments of offering costs on common shares of $0.3 million, partially offset by net borrowings on our revolving credit facility of $110.0 million, borrowings on our unsecured term loan of $50.0 million, and proceeds from the issuance of mortgage debt of $60.3 million. For the year ended December 31, 2023, net cash flows used in financing activities of $(7.7) million were comprised of the repayment of our construction loan of $39.3 million, principal payments on mortgage debt of $117.7 million, distributions to common share and unit holders of $14.2 million, distributions on preferred shares of $8.0 million, and payments of deferred financing costs of $1.5 million, partially offset by borrowings on our unsecured term loan of $90.0 million and proceeds from the issuance of five new mortgage loans of $82.9 million.

We declared total dividends of $0.28 and $0.28 per common share and LTIP unit, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2024, and $0.28 and $0.28 per common share and LTIP unit, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2023. We declared total dividends of $1.65624 and $1.65624 per Series A preferred share for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Material Cash Requirements

Our material cash requirements include the following contractual obligations:

•At December 31, 2024, we had total debt principal and interest obligations of $506.1 million with $181.6 million of principal and interest payable within the next 12 months from December 31, 2024 (excluding available extension options). Debt principal obligations payable during the next 12 months consists of $16.0 million related to the maturity of the Company's mortgage loan secured by the Hampton Inn & Suites Houston-Medical Center hotel property and $140.0 million related to the initial maturity of the Company's unsecured term loan. The Company has two 1-year extension options for its $140.0 million unsecured term loan. See Note 6, “Debt” to our consolidated financial statements for additional information relating to our property loans, revolving credit facility and unsecured term loan.

52

•Lease payments due within the next 12 months from year-end 2024 total $2.0 million. See Note 12, “Leases” to our consolidated financial statements for additional information relating to our corporate office and ground leases.

Related Party Transactions

We have entered into transactions and arrangements with related parties that could result in potential conflicts of interest. See “Risks Related to Our Business” and Note 14, “Related Party Transactions”, to our consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. See also Item 13 of this Form 10-K.

Inflation

Operators of hotels, in general, possess the ability to adjust room rates daily to reflect the effects of inflation. However, competitive pressures may limit the ability of our management companies to raise room rates.

Critical Accounting Estimates

We consider the following estimates critical because they require estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain, involve various assumptions and require management judgment. The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from these estimates and assumptions.

Investment in Hotel Properties

We allocate the purchase prices of hotel properties acquired as asset acquisitions based on the fair value of the acquired real estate, furniture, fixtures and equipment, identifiable intangible assets and assumed liabilities. In making estimates of fair value for purposes of allocating the purchase price, we utilize a number of sources of information that are obtained in connection with the acquisition of a hotel property, including valuations performed by independent third parties and information obtained about each hotel property resulting from pre-acquisition due diligence.

Our hotel properties are carried at cost and are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, generally 40 years for buildings, 20 years for land improvements, 5 to 20 years for building improvements and one to ten years for furniture, fixtures and equipment. Renovations and/or replacements at the hotel properties that improve or extend the life of the assets are capitalized and depreciated over their useful lives, while repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Upon the sale or retirement of property and equipment, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the Company’s accounts and any resulting gain or loss is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations.

53

Our hotel properties are periodically reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the hotel properties may not be recoverable over management's estimated holding period.This estimated holding period incorporates management’s intent and ability to hold the hotel properties over the estimated holding period. Events or circumstances that may cause a review include, but are not limited to, adverse changes in the demand for lodging at the properties due to declining national or local economic conditions and/or new hotel construction in markets where the hotels are located. When such conditions exist, management will perform an analysis to determine if the estimated undiscounted future cash flows, without interest charges, from operations and the proceeds from the ultimate disposition of a hotel property exceed its carrying value. If the estimated undiscounted future cash flows are less than the carrying amount, an adjustment to reduce the carrying amount to the related hotel property's estimated fair value is recorded and an impairment loss recognized. For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company incurred an impairment loss on one hotel property (See Note 5). For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company incurred an impairment loss on one hotel property (See Note 5). For the year ended December 31, 2022, there were no impairment losses.

For properties the Company considers held for sale, depreciation and amortization are no longer recorded and the value of the properties is recorded at the lower of depreciated cost or fair value, less costs to sell. If circumstances arise that were previously considered unlikely, and, as a result, the Company decides not to sell a property previously classified as held for sale, the Company will reclassify such property as held and used. Such property is measured at the lower of its carrying amount (adjusted for any depreciation and amortization expense that would have been recognized had the property been continuously classified as held and used) or fair value at the date of the subsequent decision not to sell. The Company classifies properties as held for sale when all criteria within the Financial Accounting Standards Board's ("FASB") guidance on the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets are met. As of December 31, 2024, we had no hotel properties that met the criteria to be presented as held for sale.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue from hotel operations is recognized when rooms are occupied and when services are provided. Revenue consists of amounts derived from hotel operations, including sales from room, meeting room, gift shop, in-room movie and other ancillary amenities. Sales, use, occupancy, and similar taxes are collected and presented on a net basis (excluded from revenues) in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

Share-Based Compensation

We measure compensation expense for the restricted share awards based upon the fair market value of our common shares at the date of grant. The Company measures compensation expense for the Time-Based and Performance-Based LTIP units based upon the Monte Carlo approach using volatility, dividend yield and a risk free interest rate in the valuation. Compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period and is included in general and administrative expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. We pay dividends on vested and non-vested restricted shares and Time-Based LTIP units. The Company has also issued Performance-Based LTIP units as part of its compensation plan. Under the terms of the Performance-Based LTIP units, a holder of a Performance-Based LTIP unit will generally (i) be entitled to receive 10% of the distributions made on a common unit of the Operating Partnership during the period prior to vesting of such Performance-Based LTIP unit (the “Pre-Vesting Distributions”), (ii) be entitled, upon the vesting of such Performance-Based LTIP unit, to receive a special one-time “catch-up” distribution equal to the aggregate amount of distributions that were paid on a common unit during the period prior to vesting of such Performance-Based LTIP unit minus the aggregate amount of Pre-Vesting Distributions paid on such Performance-Based LTIP unit, and (iii) be entitled, following the vesting of such Performance-Based LTIP unit, to receive the same amount of distributions paid on a common unit of the Operating Partnership.

54

Income Taxes

We elected to be taxed as a REIT for federal income tax purposes commencing with our 2010 taxable year. In order to qualify as a REIT under the Code, we must meet certain organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement to distribute at least 90% of our annual REIT taxable income to our shareholders (which is computed without regard to the dividends paid deduction or net capital gain and which does not necessarily equal net income as calculated in accordance with GAAP). As a REIT, we generally will not be subject to federal income tax to the extent we currently distribute our taxable income to our shareholders. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we will be subject to federal income tax on our taxable income at regular corporate income tax rates and generally will not be permitted to qualify for treatment as a REIT for federal income tax purposes for the four taxable years following the year during which qualification is lost unless the IRS grants us relief under certain statutory provisions. Such an event could materially adversely affect our net income and net cash available for distribution to shareholders. However, we believe we have been organized and that we operate in such a manner as to qualify for treatment as a REIT.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Overview

Chatham Lodging Trust (“we,” “us” or the “Company”) was formed as a Maryland real estate investment trust on October 26, 2009. The Company is internally managed and was organized to invest primarily in upscale extended-stay and premium-branded select-service hotels. The Company has elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust for federal income tax purposes ("REIT").

The Company had no operations prior to the consummation of its initial public offering ("IPO") in April 2010. The net proceeds from our share offerings are contributed to Chatham Lodging, L.P., our operating partnership (the “Operating Partnership”), in exchange for partnership interests. Substantially all of the Company’s assets are held by, and all operations are conducted through, the Operating Partnership. The Company is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership and owns 100% of the common units of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership ("common units"). Certain of the Company’s executive officers hold vested and unvested long-term incentive plan units in the Operating Partnership ("LTIP units"), which are presented as non-controlling interests on our consolidated balance sheets.

As of December 31, 2023, the Company owned 39 hotels with an aggregate of 5,915 rooms located in 16 states and the District of Columbia. Prior to September 23, 2021, the Company held a 10.0% noncontrolling interest in a joint venture (the "Inland JV") with affiliates of Colony Capital, Inc. ("CLNY"), which owned 48 hotels acquired from Inland American Real Estate Trust, Inc. ("Inland"), comprising an aggregate of 6,402 rooms. Chatham sold its interest in the Inland JV in September 2021. Prior to March 18, 2021, the Company also held a 10.3% noncontrolling interest in a joint venture (the “NewINK JV”) with affiliates of CLNY, which owned 46 hotels acquired from a joint venture (the "Innkeepers JV") between the Company and Cerberus Capital Management (“Cerberus”), comprising an aggregate of 5,948 rooms. Chatham sold its interest in the NewINK JV in March 2021.

To qualify as a REIT, the Company cannot operate its hotels. Therefore, the Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries lease the Company's hotels to taxable REIT subsidiary lessees (“TRS Lessees”), which are wholly owned by the Company’s taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”) holding company. Each hotel is leased to a TRS Lessee under a percentage lease that provides for rental payments equal to the greater of (i) a fixed base rent amount or (ii) a percentage rent based on hotel revenue. Lease revenue from each TRS Lessee is eliminated in consolidation.

The TRS Lessees have entered into management agreements with third-party management companies that provide day-to-day management for the hotels. As of December 31, 2023, Island Hospitality Management Inc. (“IHM”), which is 100% owned by Jeffrey H. Fisher, the Company's Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, managed all of the Company’s hotels.

COVID-19 Pandemic

The lodging industry has been significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, which began in early 2020. The pandemic caused a sharp decline in travel and a significant reduction in hotel demand, which caused us to experience a significant decline in revenues, profitability and cash flows from operations during the years ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2021. During the year ended December 31, 2022, we experienced a significant improvement in our business which continued throughout 2023, initially driven primarily by leisure travel, and more recently, improvement in other demand segments including corporate and group. There have also been material increases in inflation and interest rates. We anticipate that continued improvement in operating trends will be dependent on continued strength in leisure travel and a recovery of business travel.

Key Indicators of Operating Performance and Financial Condition

We measure financial condition and hotel operating performance by evaluating non-financial and financial metrics and measures such as:

•Average Daily Rate (“ADR”), which is the quotient of room revenue divided by total rooms sold,

•Occupancy, which is the quotient of total rooms sold divided by total rooms available,

•Revenue Per Available Room (“RevPAR”), which is the product of occupancy and ADR, and does not include food and beverage revenue, or other operating revenue,

•Funds From Operations (“FFO”),

•Adjusted FFO,

•Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”),

•EBITDAre,

•Adjusted EBITDA, and

•Adjusted Hotel EBITDA.

We evaluate the hotels in our portfolio and potential acquisitions using these metrics to determine each hotel’s contribution toward providing income to our shareholders through increases in distributable cash flow and increasing long-term total returns through appreciation in the value of our common shares. RevPAR, ADR and Occupancy are hotel industry measures commonly used to evaluate operating performance.

See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for further discussion of FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA, EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA.

Results of Operations

Comparison of the year ended December 31, 2023 to the year ended December 31, 2022

The section below provides a comparative discussion of our consolidated results of operations between fiscal year 2023 and 2022. See Item 7, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 for comparative a discussion of our consolidated results of operations between fiscal 2022 and fiscal 2021.

Results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2023 include the operating activities of the 39 hotels we owned for the entire period. We sold one hotel located in Burlington, MA on May 6, 2022, and sold one hotel located in Dallas, TX and two hotels located in Houston, TX on May 13, 2022. We acquired one hotel located in Miramar Beach, FL on March 8, 2022. We developed and opened, on January 24, 2022, one hotel located in Los Angeles, CA. The changes in results described below were driven primarily by the continued recovery of business travel following the COVID-19 pandemic, the sale of four hotels, the acquisition of one hotel, and the ramp-up from opening one hotel.

Revenue

Revenue, which consists primarily of room, food and beverage and other operating revenues from our hotels, was as follows for the periods indicated (dollars in thousands):

Total revenue increased $16.2 million to $311.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to total revenue of $294.9 million for the 2022 period. The increase in total revenue primarily was related to the recovery from the

43

COVID-19 pandemic, the ramp-up of the Home2 Woodland hills, which opened on January 24, 2022, the acquisition of one hotel on March 8, 2022, partially offset by the decrease in revenue from the sale of four hotels during during the year ended December 31, 2022. The Home2 Woodland Hills contributed $11.7 million of revenue during the year ended December 31, 2023, up $2.8 million from the $8.9 million contributed during the year ended December 31, 2022. The one hotel acquired in 2022 contributed $5.5 million of revenue during the year ended December 31, 2023, up $0.3 million from the $5.2 million contributed during the year ended December 31, 2022. The increase was partially offset by the impact from selling four hotels during the second quarter of 2022 that contributed $0 of revenue during the year ended December 31, 2023, down $4.9 million from the $4.9 million these hotels contributed during the year ended December 31, 2022. Since all of our hotels are select-service or limited-service hotels, room revenue is the primary revenue source as these hotels do not have significant food and beverage revenue or large group conference facilities. Room revenue comprised 91.6% and 92.3% of total revenue for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Room revenue was $285.0 million and $272.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and the increase in room revenue primarily was related to the same factors discussed above.

Food and beverage revenue was $8.1 million and $7.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The increase in food and beverage revenue primarily was related to an increase in occupancies at our hotels due to the continued recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.

Other revenue, comprised of parking, meeting room, gift shop, in-room movie and other ancillary amenities revenue, increased $2.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. The increase in other operating revenue primarily was related to an increase in occupancies at our hotels due to the continued recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.

Reimbursed costs from related parties were $1.3 million and $1.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The cost reimbursements were offset by the reimbursed costs from related parties included in operating expenses.

As reported by Smith Travel Research, U.S. lodging industry RevPAR for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 increased 4.9% and increased 29.8%, respectively, as compared to the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021. Smith Travel Research reported that U.S. lodging industry RevPAR increased 16.7% in the first quarter of 2023, increased 2.5% in the second quarter of 2023, increased 1.7% in the third quarter of 2023 and increased 1.3% in the fourth quarter of 2023. We expect that in 2024, lodging industry RevPAR will continue to increase modestly.

In the table below, we present both actual and same property room revenue metrics. Actual Occupancy, ADR and RevPAR metrics reflect the performance of the hotels for the actual days such hotels were owned by the Company during the periods presented. Same property Occupancy, ADR, and RevPAR reflect results for the hotels owned by the Company as of December 31, 2023 that have been in operation for a full year regardless of our ownership during the period presented, which is a non-GAAP financial measure. Results for the hotels for the periods prior to our ownership were provided to us by prior owners and have not been adjusted by us.

Same property RevPAR increased 6.1% due to an increase in occupancy of 3.3% and an increase in ADR of 2.7%.

44

Hotel Operating Expenses

Hotel operating expenses consisted of the following for the periods indicated (dollars in thousands):

Hotel operating expenses increased $14.6 million, or 9.1%, to $175.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 from $160.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. The increase in hotel operating expenses was related to the increase in revenues and occupancy caused by the continued recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, increased staffing levels, and inflation. The increase was partially offset by the sale of four hotels during the second quarter of 2022 that contributed $0 of operating expenses during the year ended December 31, 2023, down $3.5 million from the $3.5 million these hotels contributed during the year ended December 31, 2022.

Room expenses, which are the most significant component of hotel operating expenses, increased $5.7 million from $56.1 million in 2022 to $61.8 million in 2023. The increase in room expenses was related primarily to an increase in occupancy and revenues at our hotels due to the continued recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, increased staffing levels, and inflation.

The remaining hotel operating expenses increased $8.9 million, or 8.5%, from $104.7 million in 2022 to $113.6 million in 2023. The increase in other remaining expenses was related primarily to an increase in occupancies and revenues at our hotels due to the continued recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and inflation.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization expense decreased $1.1 million from $59.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 to $58.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. The decrease was primarily due to the depreciation expense from four hotels that were sold during the second quarter of 2022. Depreciation is generally recorded on our assets over 40 years for buildings, 20 years for land improvements, 15 years for building improvements and one to ten years for hotel furniture, fixtures and equipment from the date of acquisition on a straight-line basis. Depreciable lives of hotel furniture, fixtures and equipment are generally assumed to be the difference between the date of acquisition and the date that the furniture, fixtures and equipment will be replaced. Amortization of franchise fees is recorded on a straight-line basis over the term of the respective franchise agreement.

Impairment Loss

Impairment loss was $4.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. The impairment loss in 2023 was due to the impairment recorded on the HGI Denver Tech hotel property which is under contract to be sold.

45

Property Taxes, Ground Rent and Insurance

Total property taxes, ground rent and insurance expenses increased $2.3 million from $21.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 to $23.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. The increase primarily was related to increases in property tax assessments and an increase in insurance costs.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses principally consist of employee-related costs, including base payroll, bonuses and amortization of restricted stock and awards of LTIP units. These expenses also include corporate operating costs, professional fees and trustees’ fees. Total general and administrative expenses (excluding amortization of stock based compensation of $6.1 million and $5.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively) decreased $0.4 million to $11.4 million in 2023 from $11.8 million in 2022.

Other Charges

Other charges increased from $0.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 to $2.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. The increase primarily was related to the write-off of $2.2 million of previous expenditures related to the development of a hotel in California that the Company decided to no longer pursue.

Reimbursable Costs from Related Parties

Reimbursable costs from related parties, comprised of corporate payroll and rent costs were $1.3 million and $1.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The cost reimbursements were offset by the

cost reimbursements from related parties included in revenues.

Gain on Sale of Hotel Property

Gain on the sale of hotel property decreased $2.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to the year ended December 31, 2022. The HGI Burlington hotel property was sold on May 6, 2022 and the HWS Dallas, the CY Houston West University, and the RI Houston West University hotel properties together were sold on May 13, 2022, which resulted in a total gain of $2.3 million.

Interest and Other Income

Interest on cash and cash equivalents and other income increased $1.5 million from $10 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2022 to $1.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. The increase was due to higher cash balances and higher interest rates received on cash balances during the year ended December 31, 2023.

Interest Expense, Including Amortization of Deferred Fees

Interest expense increased $0.6 million, or 2.5%, from $26.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 to $27.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. Interest expense is comprised of the following (dollars in thousands):

46

Loss on Early Extinguishment of Debt

Loss on early extinguishment of debt increased $0.6 million from $0.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 to $0.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. The loss in 2023 is related to the Company's repayment of the construction loan on the Home2 Woodland Hills hotel property.

Gain from Partial Lease Termination

Gain from partial lease termination increased $0.2 million from $0 for the year ended December 31, 2022. The

gain in 2023 is related to the Company's termination of a portion of its corporate office lease to vacate and surrender possession

of 7,374 rentable square feet in exchange for an early termination payment of $0.1 million.

Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense remained unchanged at zero for the year ended December 31, 2022 and 2023. We are subject to income taxes based on the taxable income of our TRS Lessees at a combined federal and state tax rate of approximately 25%. The Company's TRS is expecting taxable losses in 2023 and recognizes a full valuation allowance equal to 100% of the net deferred tax assets due to the uncertainty of the TRS's ability to utilize these net deferred tax assets.

Net Income

Net income was $2.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to net income of $9.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. The change in net income primarily was due to the factors discussed above.

Material Trends or Uncertainties

We are not aware of any material trends or uncertainties, favorable or unfavorable, that may be reasonably anticipated to have a material impact on either the capital resources or the revenues or income to be derived from the acquisition and operation of properties, loans and other permitted investments, other than those referred to in this section and the risk factors identified in the “Risk Factors” section of this Annual Report on this Form 10-K.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We consider the following non-GAAP financial measures useful to investors as key supplemental measures of our operating performance: (1) FFO, (2) Adjusted FFO, (3) EBITDA, (4) EBITDAre, (5) Adjusted EBITDA and (6) Adjusted Hotel EBITDA. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered along with, but not as alternatives to, net income or loss as prescribed by GAAP as a measure of our operating performance.

FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA, EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA do not represent cash generated from operating activities under GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to net income or loss, cash flows from operations or any other operating performance measure prescribed by GAAP. FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA, EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA are not measures of our liquidity, nor are FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA, EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDA or Adjusted Hotel EBITDA indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to make cash distributions. These measurements do not reflect cash expenditures for long-term assets and other items that have been and will be incurred. FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA, EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA may include funds that may not be available for management’s discretionary use due to functional requirements to conserve funds for capital expenditures, property acquisitions, and other commitments and uncertainties.

We calculate FFO in accordance with standards established by Nareit, which defines FFO as net income or loss (calculated in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains or losses from sales of real estate, impairment write-downs, the cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles, plus depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs), and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures following the same approach. We believe that the presentation of FFO provides useful information to investors regarding our operating performance because it measures our performance without regard to specified non-cash items such as real estate depreciation and amortization, gain or loss on sale of real estate assets and certain other items that we believe are not indicative of the property level performance of our hotel properties. We believe that these items reflect historical cost of our asset base and our acquisition and disposition activities and are less reflective of our ongoing operations, and that by adjusting to exclude the effects of the items, FFO is useful to investors in comparing our operating performance between periods and between REITs that report FFO using the Nareit definition.

47

We calculate Adjusted FFO by further adjusting FFO for certain additional items that are not addressed in Nareit’s definition of FFO, including other charges, losses on the early extinguishment of debt and similar items related to our unconsolidated real estate entities that we believe do not represent costs related to hotel operations. We believe that Adjusted FFO provides investors with another financial measure that may facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods and between REITs that make similar adjustments to FFO.

The following is a reconciliation of net income (loss) to FFO and Adjusted FFO for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 (in thousands, except share data):

Diluted weighted average common share count used for calculation of adjusted FFO per share may differ from diluted weighted average common share count used for calculation of GAAP Net Income per share by LTIP units, which may be converted to common shares of beneficial interest, and if Net Income per share is negative and Adjusted FFO is positive. Unvested restricted shares and unvested LTIP units that could potentially dilute basic earnings per share in the future would not be included in the computation of diluted loss per share for the periods where a loss has been recorded because they would have been anti-dilutive for the periods presented.

EBITDA is defined as net income or loss excluding: (1) interest expense; (2) provision for income taxes, including income taxes applicable to sale of assets; (3) depreciation and amortization; and (4) unconsolidated real estate entity items including interest, depreciation and amortization excluding gains and losses from sales of real estate. We consider EBITDA useful to an investor in evaluating and facilitating comparisons of our operating performance between periods and between REITs by removing the impact of our capital structure (primarily interest expense) and asset base (primarily depreciation and amortization) from our operating results. In addition, EBITDA is used as one measure in determining the value of hotel acquisitions and dispositions.

In addition to EBITDA, we present EBITDAre in accordance with Nareit guidelines, which defines EBITDAre as net income or loss excluding interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization expense, gains or losses from sales of real estate, impairment, and adjustments for unconsolidated joint ventures. We believe that the presentation of EBITDAre provides useful information to investors regarding the Company's operating performance and can facilitate comparison of operating performance between periods and between REITs.

We also present Adjusted EBITDA which includes additional adjustments for items such as other charges, gains or losses on extinguishment of indebtedness, amortization of share-based compensation and certain other expenses that we

48

consider outside the normal course of operations. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA provides useful supplemental information to investors regarding our ongoing operating performance that, when considered with net income, EBITDA and EBITDAre, is beneficial to an investor's understanding of our performance.

The following is a reconciliation of net income (loss) to EBITDA, EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDA for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 (in thousands):

Adjusted Hotel EBITDA is defined as net income before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, corporate general and administrative, impairment loss, loss on early extinguishment of debt, other charges, interest and other income, losses on sales of hotel properties and income or loss from unconsolidated real estate entities. We present Adjusted Hotel EBITDA because we believe it is useful to investors in comparing our hotel operating performance between periods and comparing our Adjusted Hotel EBITDA margins to those of our peer companies. Adjusted Hotel EBITDA represents the results of operations for our wholly owned hotels only.

The following is a presentation of Adjusted Hotel EBITDA for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 (in thousands):

Although we present FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA, EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA because we believe they are useful to investors in comparing our operating performance between periods and between REITs that report similar measures, these measures have limitations as analytical tools. Some of these limitations are:

•FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA, EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA do not reflect our cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;

•FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA, EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;

•FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA, EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA do not reflect funds available to make cash distributions;

•EBITDA, EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA do not reflect the significant interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on our debts;

•Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized may need to be replaced in the future, and FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA, EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA do not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements;

•Non-cash compensation is and will remain a key element of our overall long-term incentive compensation package, although we exclude it as an expense when evaluating our ongoing operating performance for a particular period using Adjusted EBITDA;

•Adjusted FFO, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA do not reflect the impact of certain cash charges (including acquisition transaction costs) that result from matters we consider not to be indicative of the underlying performance of our hotel properties;

•Other companies in our industry may calculate FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA, EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA differently than we do, limiting their usefulness as a comparative measure; and

50

•FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA, EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA do not represent cash generated from operating activities as determined by GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to net income or loss, cash flows from operations or any other operating performance measure prescribed by GAAP. FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA, EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA are not measures of our liquidity.

Because of these limitations, FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA, EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA only supplementally. Our consolidated financial statements and the notes to those statements included elsewhere are prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We plan to maintain a prudent capital structure and intend to maintain our leverage over the long term at a ratio of net debt to investment in hotels (at cost) (defined as our initial acquisition price plus the gross amount of any subsequent capital investment and excluding any impairment charges) at a level that will be similar to the levels at which we have operated in the past. A subsequent decrease in hotel property values will not necessarily cause us to repay debt to comply with this limitation. At December 31, 2023, our leverage ratio was approximately 24.8%, which decreased from 26.6% at December 31, 2022 based on the ratio of our net debt (total debt outstanding before deferred financing costs less unrestricted cash and cash equivalents) to hotel investments at cost. At December 31, 2023, we had total debt of $486.1 million at an average rate of approximately 5.5%. We intend to continue to fund our investments with a prudent balance of debt and equity. Our debt may include mortgage debt collateralized by our hotel properties and unsecured debt.

At December 31, 2023 and 2022, we had $0 and $0, respectively, in outstanding borrowings under our revolving credit facility. We had $90.0 million and $0 in outstanding borrowings under our unsecured term loan at December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. We had $0 and $39.3 million in outstanding borrowings under our construction loan for the Home2 Woodland Hills hotel development at December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. At December 31, 2023, the maximum borrowing availability under our revolving credit facility was $260.0 million. We also had mortgage debt on individual hotels aggregating $396.1 million and $430.9 million at December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

On October 28, 2022, Chatham entered into a $215.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility and a $90.0 million unsecured delayed-draw term loan facility that replaced the Company’s previous $250 million revolving credit facility that was scheduled to mature on March 8, 2023. The revolving credit facility has an initial maturity of October 28, 2026 and provides two six-month extension options. The unsecured delayed-draw term loan facility has an initial maturity of October 28, 2025 and provides two one-year extension options. On December 19, 2022, Chatham executed an amendment to its unsecured revolving credit facility increasing commitments by $45.0 million for a total borrowing capacity of $260.0 million. Combined with its $90.0 million unsecured delayed-draw term loan, Chatham has $350.0 million of total commitments under the new facilities. Pricing on the new facilities is based on SOFR plus a spread of 1.50% to 2.25% for the revolving credit facility and a spread of 1.45% to 2.20% for the unsecured delayed-draw term loan facility based on the Company's leverage, and a credit spread adjustment of 0.10%.

Our revolving credit facility and unsecured delayed-draw term loan contain representations, warranties, covenants, terms and conditions customary for credit facilities of this type, including a maximum leverage ratio, a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio and minimum net worth financial covenants, limitations on (i) liens, (ii) incurrence of debt, (iii) investments, (iv) distributions, and (v) mergers and asset dispositions, covenants to preserve corporate existence and comply with laws, covenants on the use of proceeds of the revolving credit facility and default provisions, including defaults for non-payment, breach of representations and warranties, insolvency, non-performance of covenants, cross-defaults and guarantor defaults. We were in compliance with all financial covenants at December 31, 2023.

Our mortgage debt agreements contain “cash trap” provisions that are triggered when the hotel’s operating results fall below a certain debt service coverage ratio or debt yield. When these provisions are triggered, all of the excess cash flow generated by the hotel is deposited directly into cash management accounts for the benefit of our lenders until a specified debt service coverage ratio or debt yield is reached. Such provisions do not allow the lender the right to accelerate repayment of the underlying debt. As of December 31, 2023, four of our mortgage debt lenders have enforced cash trap provisions resulting in $5.6 million of restricted cash. We do not expect that such cash traps will affect our ability to satisfy our short-term liquidity requirements.

51

In December 2017, we established a $50 million dividend reinvestment and stock purchase plan (the "DRSPP") which we renewed in December 2020 and renewed again in January 2024. Under the DRSPP, shareholders may purchase additional common shares by reinvesting some or all of the cash dividends received on common shares. Shareholders may also make optional cash purchases of the Company's common shares subject to certain limitations detailed in the prospectus for the DRSPP. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company issued 5,896 common shares under the DRSPP at a weighted average price of $10.27, which generated $61 thousand of proceeds. As of December 31, 2023, there was approximately $47.8 million in common shares available for issuance under the DRSPP.

In January 2021, we established an "at-the-market" equity offering program (the "ATM Program") whereby, from time to time, we may publicly offer and sell our common shares having an aggregate offering price of up to $100 million by means of ordinary brokers transactions on the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE"), in negotiated transactions or in transactions deemed to be "at-the-market" offerings as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Cantor Fitzgerald & Co., Barclays Capital Inc., BMO Capital Markets Corp., BofA Securities, Inc., BTIG, LLC, Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Regions Securities LLC, Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated and Wells Fargo Securities act as sales agents under the ATM Program. The Company did not issue any shares under the ATM Program during the year ended December 31, 2023. As of December 31, 2023, there was approximately $77.5 million in common shares available for issuance under the ATM Program.

We expect to meet our short-term liquidity requirements generally through existing cash balances and availability under our revolving credit facility and unsecured term loan. We believe that our existing cash balances and availability under our revolving credit facility and unsecured term loan will be adequate to fund operating obligations, pay interest on any borrowings and fund dividends in accordance with the requirements for qualification as a REIT under the Code. We expect to meet our long-term liquidity requirements, such as hotel property acquisitions and debt maturities or repayments through borrowings under our revolving credit facility and unsecured term loan, additional long-term secured and unsecured borrowings, the issuance of additional equity or debt securities or the possible sale of existing assets.

We intend to continue to invest in hotel properties as suitable opportunities arise. We intend to finance our future investments with free cash flow, the net proceeds from additional issuances of common and preferred shares, issuances of common units in our Operating Partnership or other securities, borrowings or asset sales. The success of our acquisition strategy depends, in part, on our ability to access additional capital through other sources. There can be no assurance that we will continue to make investments in properties that meet our investment criteria. Additionally, we may choose to dispose of certain hotels as a means to provide liquidity.

We had no material off-balance sheet arrangements at December 31, 2023.

Sources and Uses of Cash

Our principal sources of cash include net cash from operations, availability under our revolving credit facility, proceeds from debt and equity issuances, and proceeds from the sale of hotel properties. Our principal uses of cash include acquisitions, capital expenditures, operating costs, corporate expenditures, interest costs, debt repayments and distributions to equity holders.

Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash totaled $85.7 million as of December 31, 2023, an increase of $40.6 million from December 31, 2022, primarily due to net cash provided by operating activities of $76.4 million, net cash used in investing activities of $28.1 million, and net cash used in financing activities $7.7 million.

Cash from Operations

Net cash flows provided by operating activities increased $4.9 million to $76.4 million in 2023 compared to $71.5 million in 2022. The increase in cash from operating activities was primarily due to improving operating results from our hotels which generated RevPAR growth of 6.1% in 2023 versus 2022.

Investing Activities Cash Flows

Net cash flows (used in) provided by investing activities decreased $58.1 million to $(28.1) million in 2023 compared to $30.0 million in 2022. For the year ended December 31, 2023, net cash flows used in investing activities of $(28.1) million consisted of $28.1 million related to capital improvements on our hotels. For the year ended December 31, 2022, net cash flows provided by investing activities of $30.0 million consisted of $79.6 million in net proceeds related to the sale of four hotel properties, $0.4 million of deferred key money received for the development of the Home2 Woodland Hills, partially offset by

52

$31.0 million related to the acquisition of the HGI Destin hotel property, $15.7 million related to capital improvements on our hotels during the year, and $3.3 million of capital expenditures related to the development of the Home2 Woodland Hills.

We expect to invest approximately $36.8 million on renovations, discretionary and emergency expenditures on our existing hotels in 2024, including improvements required under any brand PIP.

Financing Activities Cash Flows

Net cash flows used in financing activities decreased $78.5 million to $(7.7) million in 2023 compared to $(86.2) million in 2022. For the year ended December 31, 2023, net cash flows used in financing activities of $7.7 million were comprised of the repayment of our construction loan of $39.3 million, principal payments on mortgage debt of $117.7 million, distributions to common share and unit holders of $14.2 million, distributions on preferred shares of $8.0 million, and payments of deferred financing costs of $1.5 million, partially offset by borrowings on our unsecured term loan of $90.0 million and proceeds from the issuance of five new mortgage loans of $82.9 million. For the year ended December 31, 2022, net cash flows used in financing activities of $86.2 million were comprised of net repayments of our senior unsecured revolving credit facility of $70.0 million, principal payments on mortgage debt of $9.0 million, payments of deferred financing and offering costs of $3.5 million, distributions to unit holders of $0.1 million, and distributions on preferred shares of $8.0 million, partially offset by net borrowings on our construction loan of $4.3 million.

We declared total dividends of $0.28 and $0.28 per common share and LTIP unit, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2023 and $0.07 and $0.07 per common share and LTIP unit, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2022. We declared total dividends of $1.65624 and $1.65624 per Series A preferred share for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Material Cash Requirements

Our material cash requirements include the following contractual obligations:

•At December 31, 2023, we had total debt principal and interest obligations of $550.5 million with $312.1 million of principal and interest payable within the next 12 months from December 31, 2023. $293.3 million of debt principal obligations payable during the next 12 months relate to maturities of the Company's mortgage loans secured by the Residence Inn Garden Grove, the SpringHill Suites Savannah, the Residence Inn Silicon Valley I, the Residence Inn Silicon Valley II, the Residence Inn San Mateo, the Residence Inn Mountain View, the Hilton Garden Inn Marina del Rey, and the Homewood Suites Boston-Billerica hotel properties. See Note 7, “Debt” to our consolidated financial statements for additional information relating to our property loans, revolving credit facility and unsecured term loan.

•Lease payments due within the next 12 months from year-end 2023 total $1.9 million. See Note 13, “Leases” to our consolidated financial statements for additional information relating to our corporate office and ground leases.

Related Party Transactions

We have entered into transactions and arrangements with related parties that could result in potential conflicts of interest. See “Risks Related to Our Business” and Note 15, “Related Party Transactions”, to our consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. See also Item 13 of this Form 10-K.

Inflation

Operators of hotels, in general, possess the ability to adjust room rates daily to reflect the effects of inflation. However, competitive pressures may limit the ability of our management companies to raise room rates.

Critical Accounting Estimates

We consider the following estimates critical because they require estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain, involve various assumptions and require management judgment. The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from these estimates and assumptions.

53

Investment in Hotel Properties

We allocate the purchase prices of hotel properties acquired as asset acquisitions based on the fair value of the acquired real estate, furniture, fixtures and equipment, identifiable intangible assets and assumed liabilities. In making estimates of fair value for purposes of allocating the purchase price, we utilize a number of sources of information that are obtained in connection with the acquisition of a hotel property, including valuations performed by independent third parties and information obtained about each hotel property resulting from pre-acquisition due diligence.

Our hotel properties are carried at cost and are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, generally 40 years for buildings, 20 years for land improvements, 5 to 20 years for building improvements and one to ten years for furniture, fixtures and equipment. Renovations and/or replacements at the hotel properties that improve or extend the life of the assets are capitalized and depreciated over their useful lives, while repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Upon the sale or retirement of property and equipment, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the Company’s accounts and any resulting gain or loss is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations.

Our hotel properties are periodically reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the hotel properties may not be recoverable over management's estimated holding period.This estimated holding period incorporates management’s intent and ability to hold the hotel properties over the estimated holding period. Events or circumstances that may cause a review include, but are not limited to, adverse changes in the demand for lodging at the properties due to declining national or local economic conditions and/or new hotel construction in markets where the hotels are located. When such conditions exist, management will perform an analysis to determine if the estimated undiscounted future cash flows, without interest charges, from operations and the proceeds from the ultimate disposition of a hotel property exceed its carrying value. If the estimated undiscounted future cash flows are less than the carrying amount, an adjustment to reduce the carrying amount to the related hotel property's estimated fair value is recorded and an impairment loss recognized. For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company incurred an impairment loss on one hotel property (See Note 5). For the year ended December 31, 2022, there were no impairment losses. For the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company incurred an impairment loss on one hotel property (See Note 5).

For properties the Company considers held for sale, depreciation and amortization are no longer recorded and the value the properties is recorded at the lower of depreciated cost or fair value, less costs to sell. If circumstances arise that were previously considered unlikely, and, as a result, the Company decides not to sell a property previously classified as held for sale, the Company will reclassify such property as held and used. Such property is measured at the lower of its carrying amount (adjusted for any depreciation and amortization expense that would have been recognized had the property been continuously classified as held and used) or fair value at the date of the subsequent decision not to sell. The Company classifies properties as held for sale when all criteria within the Financial Accounting Standards Board's ("FASB") guidance on the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets are met. As of December 31, 2023, we had no hotel properties that met the criteria to be presented as held for sale.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue from hotel operations is recognized when rooms are occupied and when services are provided. Revenue consists of amounts derived from hotel operations, including sales from room, meeting room, gift shop, in-room movie and other ancillary amenities. Sales, use, occupancy, and similar taxes are collected and presented on a net basis (excluded from revenues) in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

54

Share-Based Compensation

We measure compensation expense for the restricted share awards based upon the fair market value of our common shares at the date of grant. The Company measures compensation expense for the Time-Based and Performance-Based LTIP units based upon the Monte Carlo approach using volatility, dividend yield and a risk free interest rate in the valuation. Compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period and is included in general and administrative expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. We pay dividends on vested and non-vested restricted shares and Time-Based LTIP units. The Company has also issued Performance-Based LTIP units as part of its compensation plan. Under the terms of the Performance-Based LTIP units, a holder of a Performance-Based LTIP unit will generally (i) be entitled to receive 10% of the distributions made on a common unit of the Operating Partnership during the period prior to vesting of such Performance-Based LTIP unit (the “Pre-Vesting Distributions”), (ii) be entitled, upon the vesting of such Performance-Based LTIP unit, to receive a special one-time “catch-up” distribution equal to the aggregate amount of distributions that were paid on a common unit during the period prior to vesting of such Performance-Based LTIP unit minus the aggregate amount of Pre-Vesting Distributions paid on such Performance-Based LTIP unit, and (iii) be entitled, following the vesting of such Performance-Based LTIP unit, to receive the same amount of distributions paid on a common unit of the Operating Partnership.

Income Taxes

We elected to be taxed as a REIT for federal income tax purposes commencing with our 2010 taxable year. In order to qualify as a REIT under the Code, we must meet certain organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement to distribute at least 90% of our annual REIT taxable income to our shareholders (which is computed without regard to the dividends paid deduction or net capital gain and which does not necessarily equal net income as calculated in accordance with GAAP). As a REIT, we generally will not be subject to federal income tax to the extent we currently distribute our taxable income to our shareholders. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we will be subject to federal income tax on our taxable income at regular corporate income tax rates and generally will not be permitted to qualify for treatment as a REIT for federal income tax purposes for the four taxable years following the year during which qualification is lost unless the IRS grants us relief under certain statutory provisions. Such an event could materially adversely affect our net income and net cash available for distribution to shareholders. However, we believe we have been organized and that we operate in such a manner as to qualify for treatment as a REIT.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Overview

Chatham Lodging Trust (“we,” “us” or the “Company”) was formed as a Maryland real estate investment trust on October 26, 2009. The Company is internally managed and was organized to invest primarily in upscale extended-stay and premium-branded select-service hotels. The Company has elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust for federal income tax purposes ("REIT").

The Company had no operations prior to the consummation of its initial public offering ("IPO") in April 2010. The net proceeds from our share offerings are contributed to Chatham Lodging, L.P., our operating partnership (the “Operating Partnership”), in exchange for partnership interests. Substantially all of the Company’s assets are held by, and all operations are conducted through, the Operating Partnership. The Company is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership and owns 100% of the common units of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership ("common units"). Certain of the Company’s executive officers hold vested and unvested long-term incentive plan units in the Operating Partnership ("LTIP units"), which are presented as non-controlling interests on our consolidated balance sheets.

As of December 31, 2022, the Company owned 39 hotels with an aggregate of 5,914 rooms located in 16 states and the District of Columbia. Prior to September 23, 2021, the Company held a 10.0% noncontrolling interest in a joint venture (the "Inland JV") with affiliates of Colony Capital, Inc. ("CLNY"), which owned 48 hotels acquired from Inland American Real Estate Trust, Inc. ("Inland"), comprising an aggregate of 6,402 rooms. Chatham sold its interest in the Inland JV in September 2021. Prior to March 18, 2021, the Company also held a 10.3% noncontrolling interest in a joint venture (the “NewINK JV”) with affiliates of CLNY, which owned 46 hotels acquired from a joint venture (the "Innkeepers JV") between the Company and Cerberus Capital Management (“Cerberus”), comprising an aggregate of 5,948 rooms. Chatham sold its interest in the NewINK JV in March 2021.

To qualify as a REIT, the Company cannot operate its hotels. Therefore, the Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries lease the Company's hotels to taxable REIT subsidiary lessees (“TRS Lessees”), which are wholly owned by the Company’s taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”) holding company. Each hotel is leased to a TRS Lessee under a percentage lease that provides for rental payments equal to the greater of (i) a fixed base rent amount or (ii) a percentage rent based on hotel revenue. The initial term of each of the TRS leases is 5 years. Lease revenue from each TRS Lessee is eliminated in consolidation.

The TRS Lessees have entered into management agreements with third-party management companies that provide day-to-day management for the hotels. As of December 31, 2022, Island Hospitality Management Inc. (“IHM”), which is 100% owned by Jeffrey H. Fisher, the Company's Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, managed all of the Company’s hotels.

COVID-19 Pandemic

The lodging industry has been significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, which began in early 2020. The pandemic caused a sharp decline in travel and a significant reduction in hotel demand, which caused us to experience a significant decline in revenues, profitability and cash flows from operations during the years ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2021. During the year ended December 31, 2022, we experienced a significant improvement in our business, initially driven primarily by leisure travel, and to a lesser extent, improvement in other demand segments including corporate and group. There have been material increases in inflation and interest rates in the year ended December 31, 2022. We anticipate that continued improvement in operating trends will be dependent on continued strength in leisure travel and a recovery of business travel. A return to normalized levels of operations is dependent on a continuation of the recovery in our business, further dissipation of concerns related to the COVID-19 pandemic, geopolitical stability, and moderating inflation.

Key Indicators of Operating Performance and Financial Condition

We measure financial condition and hotel operating performance by evaluating non-financial and financial metrics and measures such as:

•Average Daily Rate (“ADR”), which is the quotient of room revenue divided by total rooms sold,

•Occupancy, which is the quotient of total rooms sold divided by total rooms available,

•Revenue Per Available Room (“RevPAR”), which is the product of occupancy and ADR, and does not include food and beverage revenue, or other operating revenue,

•Funds From Operations (“FFO”),

•Adjusted FFO,

•Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”),

•EBITDAre,

•Adjusted EBITDA, and

•Adjusted Hotel EBITDA.

We evaluate the hotels in our portfolio and potential acquisitions using these metrics to determine each hotel’s contribution toward providing income to our shareholders through increases in distributable cash flow and increasing long-term total returns through appreciation in the value of our common shares. RevPAR, ADR and Occupancy are hotel industry measures commonly used to evaluate operating performance.

See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for further discussion of FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA, EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA.

Results of Operations

Comparison of the year ended December 31, 2022 to the year ended December 31, 2021

The section below provides a comparative discussion of our consolidated results of operations between fiscal year 2022 and 2021. See Item 7, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 for comparative a discussion of our consolidated results of operations between fiscal 2021 and fiscal 2020.

Results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2022 include the operating activities of our 37 wholly owned hotels that were owned for the entire period and operating activities for one hotel that was opened during the period, one hotel that was acquired during the period and four hotels sold during the period for the periods of our ownership of these hotels. We sold one hotel located in Burlington, MA on May 6, 2022, and sold one hotel located in Dallas, TX and two hotels located in Houston, TX on May 13, 2022. We acquired one hotel located in Miramar Beach, FL on March 8, 2022. We developed and opened, on January 24, 2022, one hotel located in Los Angeles, CA. We acquired two hotels located in Austin, TX on August 3, 2021. We sold our investment in the NewINK JV on March 18, 2021 and sold our investment in the Inland JV on September 23, 2021. The changes in results described in comparisons below were driven primarily by the COVID-19 pandemic, the sale of four hotels, the acquisition of three hotels, the opening of one hotel, and the sale of our investments in the NewINK JV and the Inland JV.

Revenue

Revenue, which consists primarily of room, food and beverage and other operating revenues from our hotels, was as follows for the periods indicated (dollars in thousands):

Total revenue increased $90.9 million to $294.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to total revenue of $204.0 million for the 2021 period. The increase in total revenue was related primarily to the recovery from the adverse effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Four hotels owned during the year ended December 31, 2022 that were not owned for the full year ended December 31, 2021, contributed $26.7 million of revenue, up $22.6 million from the $4.1 million these hotels contributed during the year ended December 31, 2021. Four other hotels that were sold during the year ended December 31, 2022 contributed $4.9 million of revenue during that year, down $6.7 million from the $11.6 million these hotels contributed during the year ended December 31, 2021. Since all of our hotels are select-service or limited-service hotels, room revenue is the primary revenue source as these hotels do not have significant food and beverage revenue or large group conference facilities. Room revenue comprised 92.3% and 91.9%, respectively, of total revenue for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021. Room revenue was $272.3 million and $187.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and the increase in room revenue was related primarily to the recovery from the adverse effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Food and beverage revenue was $7.3 million and $3.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The increase in food and beverage revenue was related primarily to an increase in occupancies at our hotels due to the recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.

Other revenue, comprised of parking, meeting room, gift shop, in-room movie and other ancillary amenities revenue, increased $2.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. The increase in other operating revenue was related primarily to an increase in occupancies at our hotels due to the recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.

Reimbursed costs from unconsolidated entities were $1.3 million and $1.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The cost reimbursements were offset by the reimbursed costs from unconsolidated entities included in operating expenses. The decrease in cost reimbursements was related primarily to the sale of the NewINK JV.

As reported by Smith Travel Research, U.S. lodging industry RevPAR for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 increased 29.8% and increased 58.2%, respectively, as compared to the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020. Smith Travel Research reported that U.S. lodging industry RevPAR increased 67.2% in the first quarter of 2022, increased 38.8% in the second quarter of 2022, increased 16.6% in the third quarter of 2022 and increased 16.3% in the fourth quarter of 2022. We expect that in 2023, RevPAR will continue to increase, and that in some markets RevPAR may exceed levels achieved in 2019.

In the table below, we present both actual and same property room revenue metrics. Actual Occupancy, ADR and RevPAR metrics reflect the performance of the hotels for the actual days such hotels were owned by the Company during the periods presented. Same property Occupancy, ADR, and RevPAR results for the 38 hotels wholly owned by the Company as of December 31, 2022 that have been in operation for a full year regardless of our ownership during the period presented, which is a non-GAAP financial measure. Results for the hotels for the periods prior to our ownership were provided to us by prior owners and have not been adjusted by us.

Same property RevPAR increased 38.8% due to an increase in occupancy of 9.4% and an increase in ADR of 27.0%.

Hotel Operating Expenses

Hotel operating expenses consisted of the following for the periods indicated (dollars in thousands):

Hotel operating expenses increased $41.5 million, or 34.8%, to $160.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 from $119.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. The primary cause of the increase in hotel operating expenses was related to the increase in revenues and occupancy caused by the recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.

Room expenses, which are the most significant component of hotel operating expenses, increased $15.7 million from $40.4 million in 2021 to $56.1 million in 2022. The increase in room expenses was related primarily to an increase in occupancy and revenues at our hotels due to the recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and inflation.

The remaining hotel operating expenses increased $25.8 million, or 32.7%, from $78.9 million in 2021 to $104.7 million in 2022. The increase in other remaining expenses was related primarily to an increase in occupancies and revenues at our hotels due to the recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and inflation.

44

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization expense increased $5.2 million from $54.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 to $59.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. The increase was primarily due to higher depreciation expense from the four hotels owned during the year ended December 31, 2022 that were not owned for the full year ended December 31, 2021 than the depreciation expense from four other hotels which were sold during the year ended December 31, 2022. Depreciation is generally recorded on our assets over 40 years for buildings, 20 years for land improvements, 15 years for building improvements and one to ten years for hotel furniture, fixtures and equipment from the date of acquisition on a straight-line basis. Depreciable lives of hotel furniture, fixtures and equipment are generally assumed to be the difference between the date of acquisition and the date that the furniture, fixtures and equipment will be replaced. Amortization of franchise fees is recorded on a straight-line basis over the term of the respective franchise agreement.

Impairment Loss

Impairment loss decreased $5.6 million to $0 for the year ended December 31, 2022. The impairment loss in 2021 was due to the impairment recorded on the HGI Burlington hotel property, which was later sold in 2022, to write down the hotel property to fair value.

Property Taxes, Ground Rent and Insurance

Total property taxes, ground rent and insurance expenses decreased $2.6 million from $23.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 to $21.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. The decrease was related primarily to reductions in property tax assessments as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses principally consist of employee-related costs, including base payroll, bonuses and amortization of restricted stock and awards of LTIP units. These expenses also include corporate operating costs, professional fees and trustees’ fees. Total general and administrative expenses (excluding amortization of stock based compensation of $5.6 million and $4.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively) increased $0.9 million to $11.8 million in 2022 from $10.9 million in 2021.

Reimbursable Costs from Unconsolidated Entities

Reimbursable costs from unconsolidated entities, comprised of corporate payroll and rent costs were $1.3 million and $1.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The cost reimbursements were offset by the

cost reimbursements from unconsolidated entities included in revenues. The decrease in cost reimbursements primarily was

related to the sale of the NewINK JV.

Gain (Loss) on Sale of Hotel Property

Gain (loss) on the sale of hotel property increased $2.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to the year ended December 31, 2021 due to the sale of four hotels. The HGI Burlington hotel property was sold on May 6, 2022 and the HWS Dallas, the CY Houston West University, and the RI Houston West University hotel properties together were sold on May 13, 2022, which resulted in a total gain of $2.3 million.

45

Interest Expense, Including Amortization of Deferred Fees

Interest expense increased $2.0 million, or 8.2%, from $24.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 to $26.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. Interest expense is comprised of the following (dollars in thousands):

The increase in interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2022 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2021 is primarily due to an increase in construction loan interest and a decrease in capitalized interest due to the opening of the Home2 Suites Woodland Hills on January 24, 2022. This was partially offset by a decrease in revolving credit facility interest due to a reduction of the outstanding balance on the revolving credit facility.

Loss on Early Extinguishment of Debt

Loss on early extinguishment of debt increased $0.1 million from $0 for the year ended December 31, 2021 to $0.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. The loss in 2022 is related to the Company entering into a new unsecured revolving credit facility.

Loss from Unconsolidated Real Estate Entities

Loss from unconsolidated real estate entities decreased $1.2 million from a loss of $1.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 to $0 for the year ended December 31, 2022. The decrease is due to the sale of the NewINK JV.

Gain on Sale of Investment in Unconsolidated Real Estate Entities

Gain on sale of investment in unconsolidated real estate entities decreased $23.8 million from a gain of $23.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 to $0 for the year ended December 31, 2022. The gain in 2021 was due to the sale of the NewINK JV.

Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense remained unchanged at zero for the year ended December 31, 2021 and 2022. We are subject to income taxes based on the taxable income of our TRS Lessees at a combined federal and state tax rate of approximately 25%. The Company's TRS is expecting taxable losses in 2023 and recognizes a full valuation allowance equal to 100% of the net deferred tax assets due to the uncertainty of the TRS's ability to utilize these net deferred tax assets.

Net Income (Loss)

Net income was $9.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, compared to a net loss of $18.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. The change from a net loss to net income was primarily due to an increase in occupancy and revenues at our hotels due to the recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and the sale of four hotels which resulted in a gain on sale of hotel properties of $2.3 million during the year ended December 31, 2022, combined with the other factors discussed above.

46

Material Trends or Uncertainties

We are not aware of any material trends or uncertainties, favorable or unfavorable, that may be reasonably anticipated to have a material impact on either the capital resources or the revenues or income to be derived from the acquisition and operation of properties, loans and other permitted investments, other than those referred to in this section and the risk factors identified in the “Risk Factors” section of this Annual Report on this Form 10-K.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We consider the following non-GAAP financial measures useful to investors as key supplemental measures of our operating performance: (1) FFO, (2) Adjusted FFO, (3) EBITDA, (4) EBITDAre, (5) Adjusted EBITDA and (6) Adjusted Hotel EBITDA. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered along with, but not as alternatives to, net income or loss as prescribed by GAAP as a measure of our operating performance.

FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA, EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA do not represent cash generated from operating activities under GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to net income or loss, cash flows from operations or any other operating performance measure prescribed by GAAP. FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA, EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA are not measures of our liquidity, nor are FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA, EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDA or Adjusted Hotel EBITDA indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to make cash distributions. These measurements do not reflect cash expenditures for long-term assets and other items that have been and will be incurred. FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA, EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA may include funds that may not be available for management’s discretionary use due to functional requirements to conserve funds for capital expenditures, property acquisitions, and other commitments and uncertainties.

We calculate FFO in accordance with standards established by Nareit, which defines FFO as net income or loss (calculated in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains or losses from sales of real estate, impairment write-downs, the cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles, plus depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs), and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures following the same approach. We believe that the presentation of FFO provides useful information to investors regarding our operating performance because it measures our performance without regard to specified non-cash items such as real estate depreciation and amortization, gain or loss on sale of real estate assets and certain other items that we believe are not indicative of the property level performance of our hotel properties. We believe that these items reflect historical cost of our asset base and our acquisition and disposition activities and are less reflective of our ongoing operations, and that by adjusting to exclude the effects of the items, FFO is useful to investors in comparing our operating performance between periods and between REITs that report FFO using the Nareit definition.

We calculate Adjusted FFO by further adjusting FFO for certain additional items that are not addressed in Nareit’s definition of FFO, including other charges, costs associated with the departure of our former Chief Investment Officer, losses on the early extinguishment of debt and similar items related to our unconsolidated real estate entities that we believe do not represent costs related to hotel operations. We believe that Adjusted FFO provides investors with another financial measure that may facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods and between REITs that make similar adjustments to FFO.

47

The following is a reconciliation of net income (loss) to FFO and Adjusted FFO for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020 (in thousands, except share data):

Diluted weighted average common share count used for calculation of adjusted FFO per share may differ from diluted weighted average common share count used for calculation of GAAP Net Income per share by LTIP units, which may be converted to common shares of beneficial interest and if Net Income per share is negative and Adjusted FFO is positive. Unvested restricted shares and unvested LTIP units that could potentially dilute basic earnings per share in the future would not be included in the computation of diluted loss per share for the periods where a loss has been recorded because they would have been anti-dilutive for the periods presented.

EBITDA is defined as net income or loss excluding: (1) interest expense; (2) provision for income taxes, including income taxes applicable to sale of assets; (3) depreciation and amortization; and (4) unconsolidated real estate entity items including interest, depreciation and amortization excluding gains and losses from sales of real estate. We consider EBITDA useful to an investor in evaluating and facilitating comparisons of our operating performance between periods and between REITs by removing the impact of our capital structure (primarily interest expense) and asset base (primarily depreciation and amortization) from our operating results. In addition, EBITDA is used as one measure in determining the value of hotel acquisitions and dispositions.

In addition to EBITDA, we present EBITDAre in accordance with Nareit guidelines, which defines EBITDAre as net income or loss excluding interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization expense, gains or losses from sales of real estate, impairment, and adjustments for unconsolidated joint ventures. We believe that the presentation of EBITDAre provides useful information to investors regarding the Company's operating performance and can facilitate comparison of operating performance between periods and between REITs.

We also present Adjusted EBITDA which includes additional adjustments for items such as other charges, gains or losses on extinguishment of indebtedness, costs associated with the departure of our former Chief Investment Officer, amortization of share-based compensation and certain other expenses that we consider outside the normal course of operations. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA provides useful supplemental information to investors regarding our ongoing operating

48

performance that, when considered with net income, EBITDA and EBITDAre, is beneficial to an investor's understanding of our performance.

The following is a reconciliation of net income (loss) to EBITDA, EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDA for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020 (in thousands):

Adjusted Hotel EBITDA is defined as net income before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, corporate general and administrative, impairment loss, loss on early extinguishment of debt, other charges, interest and other income, losses on sales of hotel properties and income or loss from unconsolidated real estate entities. We present Adjusted Hotel EBITDA because we believe it is useful to investors in comparing our hotel operating performance between periods and comparing our Adjusted Hotel EBITDA margins to those of our peer companies. Adjusted Hotel EBITDA represents the results of operations for our wholly owned hotels only.

49

The following is a presentation of Adjusted Hotel EBITDA for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020 (in thousands):

Although we present FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA, EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA because we believe they are useful to investors in comparing our operating performance between periods and between REITs that report similar measures, these measures have limitations as analytical tools. Some of these limitations are:

•FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA, EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA do not reflect our cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;

•FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA, EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;

•FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA, EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA do not reflect funds available to make cash distributions;

•EBITDA, EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA do not reflect the significant interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on our debts;

•Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized may need to be replaced in the future, and FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA, EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA do not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements;

•Non-cash compensation is and will remain a key element of our overall long-term incentive compensation package, although we exclude it as an expense when evaluating our ongoing operating performance for a particular period using Adjusted EBITDA;

•Adjusted FFO, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA do not reflect the impact of certain cash charges (including acquisition transaction costs) that result from matters we consider not to be indicative of the underlying performance of our hotel properties;

•Other companies in our industry may calculate FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA, EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA differently than we do, limiting their usefulness as a comparative measure; and

50

•FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA, EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA do not represent cash generated from operating activities as determined by GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to net income or loss, cash flows from operations or any other operating performance measure prescribed by GAAP. FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA, EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA are not measures of our liquidity.

Because of these limitations, FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA, EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA only supplementally. Our consolidated financial statements and the notes to those statements included elsewhere are prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We plan to maintain a prudent capital structure and intend to maintain our leverage over the long term at a ratio of net debt to investment in hotels (at cost) (defined as our initial acquisition price plus the gross amount of any subsequent capital investment and excluding any impairment charges) at a level that will be similar to the levels at which we have operated in the past. A subsequent decrease in hotel property values will not necessarily cause us to repay debt to comply with this limitation. At December 31, 2022, our leverage ratio was approximately 26.6%, which decreased from 30.6% at December 31, 2021 based on the ratio of our net debt (total debt outstanding before deferred financing costs less unrestricted cash and cash equivalents) to hotel investments at cost. At December 31, 2022, we had total debt of $470.3 million at an average rate of approximately 5.0%. We intend to continue to fund our investments with a prudent balance of debt and equity. Our debt may include mortgage debt collateralized by our hotel properties and unsecured debt.

At December 31, 2022 and 2021, we had $0 and $70.0 million, respectively, in outstanding borrowings under our revolving credit facility. We had $39.3 million and $35.0 million in outstanding borrowings under our construction loan for the Home2 Woodland Hills hotel development at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. At December 31, 2022, the maximum combined borrowing availability under our revolving credit facility and delayed-draw term loan was $350.0 million. We also had mortgage debt on individual hotels aggregating $430.9 million and $439.9 million at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

On October 28, 2022, Chatham entered into a $215.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility and a $90.0 million unsecured delayed-draw term loan facility that replaced the Company’s previous $250 million revolving credit facility that was scheduled to mature on March 8, 2023. The revolving credit facility has an initial maturity of October 28, 2026 and provides two six-month extension options and the delayed-draw term loan facility has an initial maturity of October 28, 2025 and provides two one-year extension options. On December 19, 2022, Chatham executed an amendment to its unsecured revolving credit facility increasing commitments by $45.0 million for a total borrowing capacity of $260.0 million. Combined with its $90.0 million unsecured delayed-draw term loan, Chatham has $350.0 million of total commitments under the new facilities. Pricing on the new facilities is based on SOFR plus a spread of 1.50% to 2.25% for the revolving credit facility and a spread of 1.45% to 2.20% for the delayed draw term loan facility based on the Company's leverage and a credit spread adjustment of 0.10%.

Our revolving credit facility and delayed-draw term loan contain representations, warranties, covenants, terms and conditions customary for credit facilities of this type, including a maximum leverage ratio, a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio and minimum net worth financial covenants, limitations on (i) liens, (ii) incurrence of debt, (iii) investments, (iv) distributions, and (v) mergers and asset dispositions, covenants to preserve corporate existence and comply with laws, covenants on the use of proceeds of the revolving credit facility and default provisions, including defaults for non-payment, breach of representations and warranties, insolvency, non-performance of covenants, cross-defaults and guarantor defaults. We were in compliance with all financial covenants at December 31, 2022.

Our mortgage debt agreements contain “cash trap” provisions that are triggered when the hotel’s operating results fall below a certain debt service coverage ratio or debt yield. When these provisions are triggered, all of the excess cash flow generated by the hotel is deposited directly into cash management accounts for the benefit of our lenders until a specified debt service coverage ratio or debt yield is reached. Such provisions do not allow the lender the right to accelerate repayment of the underlying debt. As of December 31, 2022, five of our mortgage debt lenders were enforcing cash trap provisions. We do not expect that such cash traps will affect our ability to satisfy our short-term liquidity requirements.

51

In December 2017, we established a $50 million dividend reinvestment and stock purchase plan. We filed a new $50 million shelf registration statement for the dividend reinvestment and stock purchase plan (the "DRSPP") on December 22, 2020 to replace the prior plan. Under the DRSPP, shareholders may purchase additional common shares by reinvesting some or all of the cash dividends received on common shares. Shareholders may also make optional cash purchases of the Company's common shares subject to certain limitations detailed in the prospectuses for the DRSPP. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company issued 4,543 common shares under the DRSPP at a weighted average price of $12.52, which generated $57 thousand of proceeds. As of December 31, 2022, there was approximately $47.9 million in common shares available for issuance under the DRSPP.

In January 2021, we established an "at-the-market" equity offering program (the "ATM Program") whereby, from time to time, we may publicly offer and sell our common shares having an aggregate offering price of up to $100 million by means of ordinary brokers transactions on the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE"), in negotiated transactions or in transactions deemed to be "at-the-market" offerings as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Cantor Fitzgerald & Co., Barclays Capital Inc., BMO Capital Markets Corp., BofA Securities, Inc., BTIG, LLC, Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Regions Securities LLC, Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated and Wells Fargo Securities act as sales agents under the ATM Program. The Company did not issue any shares under the ATM Program during the year ended December 31, 2022. As of December 31, 2022, there was approximately $77.5 million in common shares available for issuance under the ATM Program.

We expect to meet our short-term liquidity requirements generally through existing cash balances and availability under our revolving credit facility and delayed-draw term loan. We believe that our existing cash balances and availability under our revolving credit facility and delayed-draw term loan will be adequate to fund operating obligations, pay interest on any borrowings and fund dividends in accordance with the requirements for qualification as a REIT under the Code. We expect to meet our long-term liquidity requirements, such as hotel property acquisitions and debt maturities or repayments through borrowings under our revolving credit facility and delayed-draw term loan, additional long-term secured and unsecured borrowings, the issuance of additional equity or debt securities or the possible sale of existing assets.

We intend to continue to invest in hotel properties as suitable opportunities arise. We intend to finance our future investments with free cash flow, the net proceeds from additional issuances of common and preferred shares, issuances of common units in our Operating Partnership or other securities, borrowings or asset sales. The success of our acquisition strategy depends, in part, on our ability to access additional capital through other sources. There can be no assurance that we will continue to make investments in properties that meet our investment criteria. Additionally, we may choose to dispose of certain hotels as a means to provide liquidity.

We had no material off-balance sheet arrangements at December 31, 2022.

Sources and Uses of Cash

Our principal sources of cash include net cash from operations, availability under our revolving credit facility and delayed-draw term loan, proceeds from debt and equity issuances, and proceeds from the sale of hotel properties. Our principal uses of cash include acquisitions, capital expenditures, operating costs, corporate expenditures, interest costs, debt repayments and distributions to equity holders.

Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash totaled $45.2 million as of December 31, 2022, an increase of $15.3 million from December 31, 2021, primarily due to net cash provided by operating activities of $71.5 million, net cash provided by investing activities of $30.0 million, and net cash used in financing activities $86.2 million.

Cash from Operations

Net cash flows provided by operating activities increased $42.7 million to $71.5 million in 2022 compared to $28.8 million in 2021. The increase in cash from operating activities was primarily due to improving operating results from our hotels which generated RevPAR growth of 29.8% in 2022 versus 2021.

Investing Activities Cash Flows

Net cash flows provided by (used in) investing activities increased $131.9 million to $30.0 million in 2022 compared to $(101.9) million in 2021. For the year ended December 31, 2022, net cash flows provided by investing activities of $30.0 million consisted of $79.6 million in net proceeds related to the sale of four hotel properties, $0.4 million of deferred key money received for the development of the Home2 Woodland Hills, partially offset by $31.0 million related to the acquisition of the HGI Destin hotel, $15.7 million related to capital improvements on our 39 hotels, and $3.3 million related to the

52

development of the Home2 Woodland Hills. For the year ended December 31, 2021, net cash flows used in investing activities of $101.9 million consisted of $71.3 million related to the acquisitions of the RI Austin and TPS Austin hotels, $9.5 million related to capital improvements on our 41 hotels and $23.9 million related to the development of the Home2 Suites Woodland Hills, offset by $2.8 million of proceeds from the sale of an unconsolidated real estate entity (the NewINK JV).

We expect to invest approximately $30.6 million on renovations, discretionary and emergency expenditures on our existing hotels in 2023, including improvements required under any brand PIP.

Financing Activities Cash Flows

Net cash flows (used in) provided by financing activities decreased $157.8 million to $(86.2) million in 2022 compared to $71.6 million in 2021. For the year ended December 31, 2022, net cash flows used in financing activities of $86.2 million were comprised of net repayments of our senior unsecured revolving credit facility of $70.0 million, principal payments on mortgage debt of $9.0 million, payments of deferred financing and offering costs of $3.5 million, distributions to unit holders of $0.1 million, and distributions on preferred shares of $8.0 million, partially offset by net borrowings on our construction loan of $4.3 million. For the year ended December 31, 2021, net cash flows provided by financing activities of $71.6 million were comprised of $115.9 million of net proceeds from our Series A Preferred Shares offering, $24.6 million of common equity proceeds raised through sales under the DRSPP and the ATM Program, and net borrowings on our construction loan of $21.7 million, offset by net repayments of our senior unsecured revolving credit facility of $65.3 million, amortization payments on mortgage debt of $8.7 million and the repayment of the $12.5 million mortgage loan on the Residence Inn New Rochelle, payments of financing and offering costs of $1.6 million, distributions to unit holders of $0.3 million and distributions on preferred shares of $2.3 million.

We declared total dividends of $0.07 and $0.07 per common share and LTIP unit for the year ended December 31, 2022 and $0 and $0 per common share and LTIP unit for the year ended December 31, 2021, respectively. We declared total dividends of $1.65624 and $0.89713 per Series A preferred share for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Material Cash Requirements

Our material cash requirements include the following contractual obligations:

•At December 31, 2022, we had total debt principal and interest obligations of $501.6 million with $140.3 million of principal and interest payable within the next 12 months from December 31, 2022. $109.7 million of debt principal obligations payable during the next 12 months relate to maturities of the Company's mortgage loans secured by the Homewood Suites San Antonio, Residence Inn Tysons, Courtyard Houston Medical Center, Hyatt Place Pittsburgh, and Residence Inn Bellevue hotel properties. See Note 7, “Debt” to our consolidated financial statements for additional information relating to our property loans, revolving credit facility and delayed-draw term loan.

•Lease payments due within the next 12 months from year-end 2022 total $2.1 million. See Note 13, “Leases” to our consolidated financial statements for additional information relating to our corporate office and ground leases.

Related Party Transactions

We have entered into transactions and arrangements with related parties that could result in potential conflicts of interest. See “Risks Related to Our Business” and Note 15, “Related Party Transactions”, to our consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. See also Item 13 of this Form 10-K.

Inflation

Operators of hotels, in general, possess the ability to adjust room rates daily to reflect the effects of inflation. However, competitive pressures may limit the ability of our management companies to raise room rates.

Critical Accounting Estimates

We consider the following estimates critical because they require estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain, involve various assumptions and require management judgment. The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from these estimates and assumptions.

53

Investment in Hotel Properties

We allocate the purchase prices of hotel properties acquired as asset acquisitions based on the fair value of the acquired real estate, furniture, fixtures and equipment, identifiable intangible assets and assumed liabilities. In making estimates of fair value for purposes of allocating the purchase price, we utilize a number of sources of information that are obtained in connection with the acquisition of a hotel property, including valuations performed by independent third parties and information obtained about each hotel property resulting from pre-acquisition due diligence.

Our hotel properties are carried at cost and are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, generally 40 years for buildings, 20 years for land improvements, 5 to 20 years for building improvements and one to ten years for furniture, fixtures and equipment. Renovations and/or replacements at the hotel properties that improve or extend the life of the assets are capitalized and depreciated over their useful lives, while repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Upon the sale or retirement of property and equipment, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the Company’s accounts and any resulting gain or loss is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations.

Our hotel properties are periodically reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the hotel properties may not be recoverable over management's estimated holding period.This estimated holding period incorporates management’s intent and ability to hold the hotel properties over the estimated holding period. Events or circumstances that may cause a review include, but are not limited to, adverse changes in the demand for lodging at the properties due to declining national or local economic conditions and/or new hotel construction in markets where the hotels are located. When such conditions exist, management will perform an analysis to determine if the estimated undiscounted future cash flows, without interest charges, from operations and the proceeds from the ultimate disposition of a hotel property exceed its carrying value. If the estimated undiscounted future cash flows are less than the carrying amount, an adjustment to reduce the carrying amount to the related hotel property's estimated fair value is recorded and an impairment loss recognized. For the year ended December 31, 2022, there were no impairment losses. For the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company incurred an impairment loss on one hotel property (See Note 5). For the year ended December 31, 2020, there were no impairment losses.

For properties the Company considers held for sale, depreciation and amortization are no longer recorded and the value the properties is recorded at the lower of depreciated cost or fair value, less costs to sell. If circumstances arise that were previously considered unlikely, and, as a result, the Company decides not to sell a property previously classified as held for sale, the Company will reclassify such property as held and used. Such property is measured at the lower of its carrying amount (adjusted for any depreciation and amortization expense that would have been recognized had the property been continuously classified as held and used) or fair value at the date of the subsequent decision not to sell. The Company classifies properties as held for sale when all criteria within the Financial Accounting Standards Board's ("FASB") guidance on the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets are met. As of December 31, 2022, we had no hotel properties held for sale.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue from hotel operations is recognized when rooms are occupied and when services are provided. Revenue consists of amounts derived from hotel operations, including sales from room, meeting room, gift shop, in-room movie and other ancillary amenities. Sales, use, occupancy, and similar taxes are collected and presented on a net basis (excluded from revenues) in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

Share-Based Compensation

We measure compensation expense for the restricted share awards based upon the fair market value of our common shares at the date of grant. The Company measures compensation expense for the Time-Based and Performance-Based LTIP units based upon the Monte Carlo approach using volatility, dividend yield and a risk free interest rate in the valuation. Compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period and is included in general and administrative expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. We pay dividends on vested and non-vested restricted shares and Time-Based LTIP units. The Company has also issued Performance-Based LTIP units as part of its compensation plan. Under the terms of the Performance-Based LTIP units, a holder of a Performance-Based LTIP unit will generally (i) be entitled to receive 10% of the distributions made on a common unit of the Operating Partnership during the period prior to vesting of such Performance-Based LTIP unit (the “Pre-Vesting Distributions”), (ii) be entitled, upon the vesting of such Performance-Based LTIP unit, to receive a special one-time “catch-up” distribution equal to the aggregate amount of distributions that were paid on a common unit during the period prior to vesting of such Performance-Based LTIP unit minus the aggregate amount of Pre-Vesting Distributions paid on such Performance-Based LTIP unit, and (iii) be entitled, following the vesting of such Performance-Based LTIP unit, to receive the same amount of distributions paid on a common unit of the Operating Partnership.

Income Taxes

We elected to be taxed as a REIT for federal income tax purposes commencing with our 2010 taxable year. In order to qualify as a REIT under the Code, we must meet certain organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement to distribute at least 90% of our annual REIT taxable income to our shareholders (which is computed without regard to the dividends paid deduction or net capital gain and which does not necessarily equal net income as calculated in accordance with GAAP). As a REIT, we generally will not be subject to federal income tax to the extent we currently distribute our taxable income to our shareholders. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we will be subject to federal income tax on our taxable income at regular corporate income tax rates and generally will not be permitted to qualify for treatment as a REIT for federal income tax purposes for the four taxable years following the year during which qualification is lost unless the IRS grants us relief under certain statutory provisions. Such an event could materially adversely affect our net income and net cash available for distribution to shareholders. However, we believe we have been organized and that we operate in such a manner as to qualify for treatment as a REIT.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

COVID-19 Pandemic

The lodging industry has been significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Steps have been taken to restrict

inbound international travel and there has been a significant decline in domestic travel. The full impact of the COVID-19

pandemic on the lodging industry continues to evolve and will depend on future developments including the continuing severity and duration of the pandemic, and the possibility of additional subsequent widespread outbreaks and variant strains and the impact of actions taken in response, people's willingness to travel and the strength and timing of an economic recovery. All of these factors are uncertain, and the full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the lodging industry and the Company cannot be predicted at this time. The full magnitude of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s financial condition, liquidity and future results of operations will depend on future developments which are highly uncertain. The Company has taken actions to mitigate the operating and financial impact of the COVID-19 pandemic including suspending common share dividends, reducing capital expenditures, obtaining credit facility covenant waivers and temporarily reducing executive compensation.

Overview

Chatham Lodging Trust (“we,” “us” or the “Company”) was formed as a Maryland real estate investment trust on October 26, 2009. The Company is internally managed and invests primarily in upscale extended-stay and premium-branded select-service hotels in geographically diverse markets with high barriers to entry near strong demand generators. The Company has elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust for federal income tax purposes ("REIT").

The Company had no operations prior to the consummation of its IPO. The net proceeds from our share offerings are contributed to Chatham Lodging, L.P., our operating partnership (the “Operating Partnership”), in exchange for partnership interests. Substantially all of the Company’s assets are held by, and all operations are conducted through, the Operating Partnership. The Company is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership and owns 100% of the common units of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership ("common units"). Certain of the Company’s employees hold vested and unvested long-term incentive plan units in the Operating Partnership ("LTIP units"), which are presented as non-controlling interests on our consolidated balance sheets.

As of December 31, 2021, the Company owned 41 hotels with an aggregate of 6,169 rooms located in 16 states and the District of Columbia. Prior to September 23, 2021, the Company held a 10.0% noncontrolling interest in a joint venture (the "Inland JV") with affiliates of Colony Capital, Inc. ("CLNY"), which owned 48 hotels acquired from Inland American Real Estate Trust, Inc. ("Inland"), comprising an aggregate of 6,402 rooms. Chatham sold its interest in the Inland JV in September 2021. Prior to March 18, 2021, the Company also held a 10.3% noncontrolling interest in a joint venture (the “NewINK JV”) with affiliates of CLNY, which owned 46 hotels acquired from a joint venture (the "Innkeepers JV") between the Company and Cerberus Capital Management (“Cerberus”), comprising an aggregate of 5,948 rooms. Chatham sold its interest in the NewINK JV in March 2021 for $2.8 million.

To qualify as a REIT, the Company cannot operate its hotels. Therefore, the Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries lease the Company's hotels to taxable REIT subsidiary lessees (“TRS Lessees”), which are wholly owned by the Company’s taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”) holding company. Each hotel is leased to a TRS Lessee under a percentage lease that provides for rental payments equal to the greater of (i) a fixed base rent amount or (ii) a percentage rent based on hotel revenue. The initial term of each of the TRS leases is 5 years. Lease revenue from each TRS Lessee is eliminated in consolidation.

The TRS Lessees have entered into management agreements with third-party management companies that provide day-to-day management for the hotels. As of December 31, 2021, Island Hospitality Management Inc. (“IHM”), which is 100% owned by Mr. Fisher, managed all 41 of the Company’s hotels.

Key Indicators of Operating Performance and Financial Condition

We measure financial condition and hotel operating performance by evaluating non-financial and financial metrics and measures such as:

•Average Daily Rate (“ADR”), which is the quotient of room revenue divided by total rooms sold,

•Occupancy, which is the quotient of total rooms sold divided by total rooms available,

•Revenue Per Available Room (“RevPAR”), which is the product of occupancy and ADR, and does not include food and beverage revenue, or other operating revenue,

•Funds From Operations (“FFO”),

•Adjusted FFO,

•Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”),

•EBITDAre,

•Adjusted EBITDA, and

•Adjusted Hotel EBITDA.

We evaluate the hotels in our portfolio and potential acquisitions using these metrics to determine each hotel’s contribution toward providing income to our shareholders through increases in distributable cash flow and increasing long-term total returns through appreciation in the value of our common shares. RevPAR, ADR and Occupancy are hotel industry measures commonly used to evaluate operating performance.

See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for further discussion of FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA, EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA.

Results of Operations

Industry outlook

The lodging industry has been severely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and there has been a significant decline in travel relative to 2019, but trends are improving and we expect continued strong growth in 2022 relative to 2021. Smith Travel Research reported that U.S. lodging industry RevPAR increased 58.2% for the year ended December 31, 2021, with RevPAR down 27.7% in the first quarter of 2021, up 160.4% in the second quarter of 2021, up 83.8% in the third quarter of 2021 and up 96.4% in the fourth quarter of 2021. We expect that in 2022, RevPAR will continue to increase significantly versus 2021 and 2020, but remain below the RevPAR levels achieved in 2019.

Comparison of the year ended December 31, 2021 to the year ended December 31, 2020

The section below provides a comparative discussion of our consolidated results of operations between fiscal year 2021 and 2020. See Item 7, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 for comparative a discussion of our consolidated results of operations between fiscal 2020 and fiscal 2019.

Results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2021 include the operating activities of our 41 wholly owned hotels that were owned for the entire period and two hotels located in Austin, TX which were acquired on August 3, 2021. We sold our investment in the NewINK JV on March 18, 2021, sold our investment in the Inland JV on September 23, 2021, and sold one hotel in San Diego, CA on November 24, 2020. The comparisons below are influenced by the COVID-19 pandemic, the acquisition of two hotels, the sale of our investments in the NewINK JV and the Inland JV, and the disposition of one hotel.

Revenue

Revenue, which consists primarily of room, food and beverage and other operating revenues from our hotels, was as follows for the periods indicated (dollars in thousands):

Total revenue increased $59.1 million to $204.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to total revenue of $144.9 million for the 2020 period. The increase in total revenue primarily was related to the recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and the two hotels acquired in 2021. The two hotels acquired in 2021 contributed $4.1 million in total revenue. This was partially offset by a decrease in total revenue related to the hotel sold in 2020 of $6.3 million. Since all of our hotels are primarily select service or limited service hotels, room revenue is the primary revenue source as these hotels do not have significant food and beverage revenue or large group conference facilities. Room revenue comprised 91.9% and 90.1%, respectively, of total revenue for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020. Room revenue was $187.4 million and $130.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and the increase in room revenue primarily was related to the recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and the two hotels acquired in 2021. This was partially offset by a decrease in room revenue related to the hotel sold in 2020 was $5.8 million.

Food and beverage revenue was $3.5 million and $2.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The increase in food and beverage revenue primarily was related to an increase in occupancies at our hotels due to the recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.

Other revenue comprised of parking, meeting room, gift shop, in-room movie and other ancillary amenities revenue, was up $3.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. The increase in other operating revenue primarily was related to an increase in occupancies at our hotels due to the recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.

Reimbursed costs from unconsolidated entities were $1.7 million and $4.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The cost reimbursements were offset by the reimbursed costs from unconsolidated entities included in operating expenses. The decrease in cost reimbursements primarily was related to the sale of the NewINK JV.

As reported by Smith Travel Research, U.S. lodging industry RevPAR for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 increased 58.2% and decreased 47.5%, respectively, as compared to the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019. Smith Travel Research reported that U.S. lodging industry RevPAR decreased 27.7% in the first quarter, increased 160.4% in the second quarter, increased 83.8% in the third quarter and increased 96.4% in the fourth quarter of 2021. We expect that in 2022, RevPAR will continue to increase significantly versus 2021 and 2020, but remain below the RevPAR levels achieved in 2019.

In the table below, we present both actual and same property room revenue metrics. Actual Occupancy, ADR and RevPAR metrics reflect the performance of the hotels for the actual days such hotels were owned by the Company during the periods presented. Same property Occupancy, ADR, and RevPAR results for the 40 hotels wholly owned by the Company as of December 31, 2021 and that have been in operation for a full year regardless of our ownership during the period presented, which is a non-GAAP financial measure. Results for the hotels for the periods prior to our ownership were provided to us by prior owners and have not been adjusted by us.

Same property RevPAR increased 49.2% due to an increase in occupancy of 34.3% and an increase in ADR of 11.1%.

Hotel Operating Expenses

Hotel operating expenses consisted of the following for the periods indicated (dollars in thousands):
