NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Summit Hotel Properties, Inc. (the “Company”) is a self-managed hotel investment company that was organized on June 30, 2010 as a Maryland corporation. The Company holds both general and limited partnership interests in Summit Hotel OP, LP (the “Operating Partnership”), a Delaware limited partnership also organized on June 30, 2010. On February 14, 2011, the Company closed on its initial public offering (“IPO”) of 26,000,000 shares of common stock and a concurrent private placement of 1,274,000 shares of common stock. Effective February 14, 2011, the Operating Partnership and Summit Hotel Properties, LLC (the “Predecessor”) completed the merger of the Predecessor with and into the Operating Partnership (the “Merger”). Unless the context otherwise requires, “we”, “us”, and “our” refer to the Company and its subsidiaries.

Summit Hotel OP, LP, the Operating Partnership subsidiary of the Company, filed a Form 15 on December 12, 2013 to voluntarily suspend its duty to file periodic and other reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and to voluntarily deregister its common units of limited partnership interest under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). As a result of filing the Form 15 with the SEC, the Operating Partnership is no longer required to file annual, quarterly or periodic reports with the SEC. The filing of the Form 15 by the Operating Partnership does not impact the registration of the Company’s common stock under the Exchange Act or the Company’s obligations as a reporting issuer under the Exchange Act.

At June 30, 2014, our portfolio consisted of 90 upscale and upper midscale hotels with a total of 11,367 guestrooms located in 22 states. We have elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for federal income tax purposes commencing with our short taxable year ended December 31, 2011. To qualify as a REIT, we cannot operate or manage our hotels. Accordingly, substantially all of our hotels are leased to subsidiaries (“TRS Lessees”) of our taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”). We indirectly own 100% of the outstanding equity interests in all of our TRS Lessees. Prior to the second quarter of 2014, we indirectly owned an 81% controlling interest in the TRS Lessee associated with the Holiday Inn Express & Suites in San Francisco, CA, which we acquired in early 2013 through a joint venture. On June 30, 2014, we acquired the remaining 19% interest in the TRS Lessee as part of the purchase of the non-controlling joint venture interest in the hotel.

NOTE 2 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.

We prepared these consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the Exchange Act. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete audited consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation in accordance with GAAP have been included. Results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 may not be indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year 2014. For further information, please read the financial statements included in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Segment Disclosure

Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”), ASC 280, Segment Reporting, establishes standards for reporting financial and descriptive information about an enterprise’s reportable segments. We have determined that we have one reportable segment, with activities related to investing in real estate. Our investments in real estate are geographically diversified and the chief operating decision makers evaluate operating performance on an individual asset level. As each of our assets has similar economic characteristics, the assets have been aggregated into one reportable segment.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations

We classify assets as held for sale in the period in which certain criteria are met, including when the sale of the asset within one year is probable. Assets held for sale are no longer depreciated and are carried at the lower of carrying amount or fair value, less selling costs.

Historically, we presented the results of operations of hotel properties that had been sold or otherwise qualified as assets held for sale in discontinued operations if the operations and cash flows of the hotel properties had been or would be eliminated from our ongoing operations. Following adoption of ASU 2014-08 in the first quarter of 2014, as discussed below, we anticipate that the majority of future property sales will not be classified as discontinued operations.

We periodically review our hotel properties and our land held for development based on established criteria such as age, type of franchise, adverse economic and competitive conditions, and strategic fit, to identify properties which we believe are either non-strategic or no longer complement our business.

Non-controlling Interests

Non-controlling interests represent the portion of equity in a subsidiary held by owners other than the consolidating parent. Non-controlling interests are reported in the consolidated balance sheets within equity, separately from stockholders’ equity. Revenue, expenses and net income (loss) attributable to both the Company and the non-controlling interests are reported in the consolidated statements of operations.

Our consolidated financial statements include non-controlling interests related to common units of limited partnership interests (“Common Units”) in the Operating Partnership held by unaffiliated third parties and, prior to the second quarter of 2014, third-party ownership of a 19% interest in a consolidated joint venture.

Income Taxes

We are taxed as a REIT under certain provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. To qualify as a REIT, we must meet certain organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement to distribute annually to our shareholders at least 90% of our REIT taxable income, determined without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and excluding net capital gains, 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 (other than taxes paid by our TRS) to the extent we distribute 100% of our REIT 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 be unable to re-elect REIT status until the fifth calendar year after the year in which we failed to qualify as a REIT, unless we satisfy certain relief provisions.

We account for federal and state income taxes of our TRS using the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities based on GAAP and respective carrying amounts for tax purposes, and operating losses and tax-credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date of the change in tax rates. However, deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is more likely than not they will be realized based on consideration of available evidence, including future reversals of taxable temporary differences, future projected taxable income and tax planning strategies.

Fair Value Measurement

Fair value measures are classified into a three-tiered fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

Level 1:	Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets.
Level 2:	Directly or indirectly observable inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets.
Level 3:	Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require a reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are based on one or more of the following valuation techniques:

Market approach:		Prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities.
Cost approach:		Amount required to replace the service capacity of an asset (replacement cost).
Income approach:		Techniques used to convert future amounts to a single amount based on market expectations (including present-value, option-pricing, and excess-earnings models).

Our estimates of fair value were determined using available market information and appropriate valuation methods. Considerable judgment is necessary to interpret market data and develop estimated fair value. The use of different market assumptions or estimation methods may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts. We classify assets and liabilities in the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

We elected not to use the fair value option for cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, trade receivables, prepaid expenses and other, debt, accounts payable, and accrued expenses. With the exception of our fixed-rate debt, the carrying amounts of these financial instruments approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature or variable interest rates.

New Accounting Standards

In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-08, “Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity.” The ASU changed the criteria for reporting discontinued operations while enhancing related disclosures. Criteria for discontinued operations will now include only disposals that represent a strategic shift in operations with a major effect on operations and financial results. The ASU is to be applied on a prospective basis and would be effective for us beginning January 1, 2015; however, we have elected early adoption in the first quarter of 2014, which is permitted for disposals, and classifications as held for sale, which have not been reported previously. While we have elected early adoption for our consolidated financial statements and footnote disclosures, the sale of the AmericInn Hotel & Suites, Aspen Hotel & Suites and Hampton Inn in Fort Smith, AR will be included in discontinued operations as these hotels were classified as held for sale in our consolidated financial statements in prior periods. The AmericInn Hotel & Suites and Aspen Hotel & Suites were sold in January 2014.

On May 28, 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The ASU will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective. The new standard is effective for the Company on January 1, 2017 and early adoption is not permitted. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The Company is evaluating the effect that ASU 2014-09 will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. The Company has not yet selected a transition method nor has it determined the effect of the standard on its consolidated financial statements.

Level 2 - Market approach

At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we had variable rate debt of $103.3 million and $104.0 million, respectively, which had effectively been converted to fixed interest rates through derivative financial instruments which are carried at fair value. Differences between carrying value and fair value of our fixed-rate debt are primarily due to changes in interest rates. Inherently, fixed-rate debt is subject to fluctuations in fair value as a result of changes in the current market rate of interest on the valuation date. For additional information on our use of derivatives as interest rate hedges, refer to “Note 11-Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging.”

Senior Unsecured Credit Facility

At June 30, 2014, we have a $300.0 million senior unsecured credit facility. Deutsche Bank AG New York Branch (“Deutsche Bank”) is the administrative agent and Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. is the sole lead arranger. The syndication of lenders includes Deutsche Bank; Bank of America, N.A.; Royal Bank of Canada; Key Bank; Regions Bank; Fifth Third Bank; Raymond James Bank, N.A.; and U.S. Bank National Association. Certain of our existing and future subsidiaries that own or lease an “unencumbered asset” are required to guaranty this credit facility.

The senior unsecured credit facility is comprised of a $225.0 million revolving credit facility (the “$225 Million Revolver”) and a $75.0 million term loan (the “$75 Million Term Loan”). This credit facility has an accordion feature which will allow us to increase the commitments under the $225 Million Revolver and the $75 Million Term Loan by an aggregate of $100.0 million prior to October 10, 2017. The $225 Million Revolver will mature on October 10, 2017, which can be extended to October 10, 2018 at our option, subject to certain conditions. The $75 Million Term Loan will mature on October 10, 2018.

At June 30, 2014, the maximum amount of borrowing permitted under the senior unsecured credit facility was $300.0 million, of which, we had $156.0 million borrowed, $13.8 million in standby letters of credit, and $130.2 million available to borrow.

Term Loans

At June 30, 2014, we had $498.9 million in term loans outstanding. These term loans are secured primarily by first mortgage liens on hotel properties.

On January 9, 2014, as part of our acquisition of the 182-guestroom Hilton Garden Inn in Houston, TX, we assumed a $17.8 million mortgage loan with a fixed interest rate of 6.22%, an amortization period of 30 years, and a maturity date of November 1, 2016.

On January 10, 2014, as part of our acquisition of the 98-guestroom Hampton Inn in Santa Barbara (Goleta), CA, we assumed a $12.0 million mortgage loan with a fixed interest rate of 6.133%, an amortization period of 25 years, and a maturity date of November 11, 2021.

On March 14, 2014, as part of our acquisition of the 210-guestroom DoubleTree by Hilton in San Francisco, CA, we assumed a $13.3 million mortgage loan with a fixed interest rate of 5.98%, an original amortization period of 30 years, and a maturity date of March 8, 2016.

On March 28, 2014, we amended our loan with GE Capital Financial, cross-collateralized by the Courtyard by Marriott and the SpringHill Suites by Marriott, both located in Scottsdale, AZ. The loan was amended to bear interest at a fixed rate of 5.39% and the maturity date was extended to April 1, 2020.

On March 28, 2014, we amended two loans with General Electric Capital Corp., cross-collateralized by the Hilton Garden Inn (Lakeshore) and the Hilton Garden Inn (Liberty Park), both located in Birmingham, AL. Both loans were amended to bear interest at a fixed rate of 5.39% and the maturity dates were extended to April 1, 2020.

On May 6, 2014, we closed on a $25.0 million loan with Compass Bank. The loan carries a variable rate of 30-day LIBOR plus 240 basis points, amortizes over 25 years, and has a May 6, 2020 maturity date. The loan is secured by first mortgage liens on the Hampton Inn & Suites hotels located in San Diego (Poway), CA, Ventura (Camarillo), CA and Fort Worth, TX. The net proceeds from this loan were used to pay down the $225 Million Revolver.

NOTE 7 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Pending Hotel Property Acquisition

We have a purchase agreement with a hotel property developer to acquire a Hampton Inn & Suites in downtown Minneapolis, MN for $37.7 million, subject to certain conditions including the completion of construction of the hotel in accordance with agreed upon architectural and engineering designs, receipt of a Hampton Inn & Suites franchise, and receipt of a certificate of occupancy. As this acquisition is contingent upon these customary closing conditions, there is no assurance that it will be completed.

Departure of Executive Officer

As previously reported, at the end of May 2014, Stuart J. Becker resigned from his position as Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer of the Company. On June 16, 2014, in connection with Mr. Becker’s resignation, the Company entered into a severance and release agreement with Mr. Becker (the “Agreement”). The Agreement became effective on June 19, 2014 and provides for Mr. Becker’s resignation effective as of May 27, 2014. The Agreement also provides for the following: (i) a release by Mr. Becker of all claims against the Company, its affiliates and other parties; (ii) a covenant by Mr. Becker not to solicit the Company’s employees for employment for a period of one year, and confidentiality and non-disparagement covenants; (iii) a severance payment to Mr. Becker in the gross amount of $348,289 (equal to Mr. Becker’s 2013 base salary plus payment for all accrued and unused vacation), less applicable payroll deductions, all of which was paid in a single lump sum in July 2014; (iv) payment to Mr. Becker for up to twelve months of COBRA premiums; and (v) accelerated vesting of all restricted shares of common stock and options previously awarded to Mr. Becker (all of the options will remain exercisable, in whole or in part, until August 25, 2014, and, if not exercised on or prior to that date, will be forfeited).

Litigation

We are involved from time to time in litigation arising in the ordinary course of business; however, there are currently no actions pending against us that we believe would have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.

Dividend payments are made quarterly in arrears on or about the last day of February, May, August and November of each year.

Non-controlling Interests in Operating Partnership

Pursuant to the limited partnership agreement, beginning on February 14, 2012, the unaffiliated third parties who hold Common Units in our Operating Partnership have the right to cause us to redeem their Common Units in exchange for cash based upon the fair value of an equivalent number of our shares of common stock at the time of redemption, or at our option, shares of our common stock on a one-for-one basis. The number of shares of our common stock issuable upon redemption of Common Units may be adjusted upon the occurrence of certain events such as share dividend payments, share subdivisions or combinations.

At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, unaffiliated third parties owned 1,072,095 and 811,425, respectively, of Common Units of the Operating Partnership, representing a 1% limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership.

We classify outstanding Common Units held by unaffiliated third parties as non-controlling interests in the Operating Partnership, a component of equity in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The portion of net income (loss) allocated to these Common Units is reported on the Company’s consolidated statement of operations as net income (loss) attributable to non-controlling interests of the Operating Partnership.

Non-controlling Interests in Joint Venture

On February 11, 2013, we formed a joint venture with an affiliate of IHG to purchase a Holiday Inn Express & Suites in San Francisco, CA. Prior to June 30, 2014, we owned an 81% controlling interest in the joint venture and our partner owned a 19% interest, which we classified as non-controlling interest in joint venture on our consolidated balance sheets. For the periods prior to June 30, 2014, the portion of net income (loss) allocated to our partner was reported on our consolidated statements of operations as net income (loss) attributable to non-controlling interests in joint venture. On June 30, 2014, we acquired the remaining non-controlling interest for $8.2 million and the hotel property became wholly-owned by us.

Time-Based Restricted Stock Awards

On May 28, 2014, we awarded time-based restricted stock awards for 116,981 shares of common stock to our executive officers and management.

The holders of these awards have the right to vote the related shares of common stock and any dividends declared will be accumulated and will be subject to the same vesting conditions as the awards.

Our performance-based restricted stock awards are market-based awards and are accounted for based on the fair value of our common stock on the grant date. These awards vest based on a performance measurement that requires the Company’s total shareholder return (“TSR”) to exceed the TSR for the SNL U.S. REIT Hotel Index for a designated one, two or three year performance period. The fair value of performance-based restricted stock awards granted was estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation valuation model.

The amount of expense may be subject to adjustment in future periods depending upon the attainment of specific goals, which affect the vesting of the performance-based restricted stock, or a change in the forfeiture assumptions.

Unrecognized equity-based compensation expense for all non-vested awards was $4.4 million at June 30, 2014. We expect to recognize this cost over a remaining weighted-average period of 1.1 years.

In addition, we recognized a loss on impairment of assets related to a land parcel in Spokane, WA that was held for sale at June 30, 2014. As a result, a loss on impairment of assets of $0.7 million was charged to operations.

During the six months ended June 30, 2013, we recognized a loss on impairment of assets of $1.5 million related to the SpringHill Suites in Lithia Springs, GA and the Courtyard by Marriott in Memphis, TN.

NOTE 11 - DERIVITIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING

Information about our derivative financial instruments at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 follows (dollars in thousands):

	June 30, 2014						December 31, 2013
	Number of Instruments	Notional Amount		Fair Value			Number of Instruments	Notional Amount		Fair Value

Interest rate swaps (asset)	2	$	21,043	$	33		3	$	29,273	$	253
Interest rate swaps (liability)	2	82,598		(2,296		)	1	75,000		(1,772		)

	4	$	103,641	$	(2,263	)	4	$	104,273	$	(1,519	)

Our interest rate swaps are designated as cash flow hedges and are valued using a market approach, which is a Level 2 valuation technique. At June 30, 2014, two of our interest rate swaps were in an asset position and two were in a liability position. We have not posted, and are not required under the terms of the swaps to post, any collateral related to these agreements and are not in breach of any financial provisions of the agreements. If we had breached any agreement provisions at June 30, 2014, we could have been required to settle our obligations under these agreements that were in a liability position at their aggregate termination value, including accrued interest, of $2.4 million at June 30, 2014.

Details of the location in the financial statements of the loss recognized on derivative financial instruments designated as cash flow hedges follows (in thousands):

	For the Three Months Ended June 30,						For the Six Months Ended June 30,
	2014			2013			2014			2013

Gain (loss) recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income on derivative financial instruments (effective portion)	$	(1,111	)	$	623		$	(1,606	)	$	645

Loss reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income to interest expense (effective portion)	$	(435	)	$	(87	)	$	(862	)	$	(172	)

Gain (loss) recognized in gain (loss) on derivative financial instruments (ineffective portion and amounts excluded from effectiveness testing)	$	(1	)	$	2		$	(1	)	$	2

Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive income related to derivative financial instruments will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on the hedged variable-rate debt.

NOTE 12 — INCOME TAX

Income taxes for the interim periods presented have been included in our consolidated financial statements on the basis of an estimated annual effective tax rate. Our effective tax rate is impacted by the mix of earnings and losses by taxing jurisdictions. Our earnings (losses), other than in our TRS, are not generally subject to federal corporate and state income taxes due to our REIT election.

Due to the decrease in cumulative losses over the past three years, management believes that sufficient positive evidence could become available in the future to reach a conclusion that the valuation allowance will no longer be needed, in whole or in part. Acceleration of improved operating results or significant taxable income from specific non-recurring transactions could further impact this assessment. The likelihood of realizing the benefit of deferred tax assets and the related need for a valuation allowance is assessed on an ongoing basis. This assessment requires estimates and significant management judgment as to future operating results, as well as an evaluation of the effectiveness of our tax planning strategies. At this time, we are not able to reasonably estimate when sufficient positive evidence will require reversals of the valuation allowance or the impact such reversal will have on our effective tax rate.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

We recorded an income tax provision attributable to continuing operations of $0.3 million, zero, $0.4 million and $0.1 million for the three month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 and the six month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. We had no unrecognized tax benefits at June 30, 2014. We expect no significant changes in unrecognized tax benefits within the next year. We recognize interest expense and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits as a component of tax expense.

NOTE 13 — FAIR VALUE

The following table presents information about our financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013. In instances in which the inputs used to measure fair value fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety has been determined is based on the lowest level input significant to the fair value measurement. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

Disclosures concerning financial instruments measured at fair value are as follows (in thousands):

	Fair Value Measurements at June 30, 2014 using

As discussed above, we have elected to early adopt ASU No. 2014-08 which changes the criteria for discontinued operations to include only disposals that represent a strategic shift in operations with a major effect on operations and results. While we have elected early adoption for our consolidated financial statements and footnote disclosures, hotels that were classified as held for sale in prior periods will continue to be reported in discontinued operations. Under this ASU, the Company anticipates that the majority of future property sales will not be classified as discontinued operations.

NOTE 15 - EARNINGS PER SHARE

We apply the two-class method of computing earnings per share, which requires the calculation of separate earnings per share amounts for our non-vested time-based restricted stock awards with nonforfeitable dividends and for our common stock. Our non-vested time-based restricted stock awards with nonforfeitable rights to dividends are considered securities which participate in undistributed earnings with common stock. Under the two-class computation method, net losses are not allocated to participating securities unless the holder of the security has a contractual obligation to share in the losses. Our non-vested time-based restricted stock awards with nonforfeitable dividends do not have such an obligation so they are not allocated losses.

For the three months ended June 30, 2014 and the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, we had 893,000 stock options outstanding which were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share, as the options’ exercise price was greater than the average market price of our common shares.

A summary of the components used to calculate basic and diluted earnings per share follows (in thousands, except per share):

Table of Contents

Overview

We focus primarily on acquiring and owning premium-branded select-service hotels in the upscale and upper midscale segments of the U.S. lodging industry, as these segments are currently defined by Smith Travel Research (“STR”). Since completion of our IPO on February 14, 2011 and through June 30, 2014, we have acquired 47 hotels containing 6,539 guestrooms for purchase prices aggregating $916.7 million. As of August 1, 2014, we own 90 hotels containing 11,368 guestrooms located in 22 states. Except for six hotels, five of which are subject to ground leases and one of which is subject to a PILOT (payment in lieu of taxes) lease, we own our hotels in fee simple. Our hotels are located in markets in which we have extensive experience and that exhibit multiple demand generators, such as business and corporate headquarters, retail centers, airports and tourist attractions.

The majority of our hotels operate under premium franchise brands owned by Marriott International, Inc. (“Marriott”) (Courtyard by Marriott®, Residence Inn by Marriott®, SpringHill Suites by Marriott®, Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott®, and TownePlace Suites by Marriott®), Hilton Worldwide (“Hilton”) (DoubleTree by Hilton®, Hampton Inn®, Hampton Inn & Suites®, Homewood Suites® and Hilton Garden Inn®), Intercontinental Hotel Group (“IHG”) (Holiday Inn®, Holiday Inn Express®, Holiday Inn Express & Suites® and Staybridge Suites®) and an affiliate of Hyatt Hotels Corporation (“Hyatt”) (Hyatt Place® and Hyatt House®).

We have elected to be taxed as a REIT for federal income tax purposes commencing with our short taxable year ended December 31, 2011. To qualify as a REIT, we cannot operate or manage our hotels. Accordingly, we lease all of our hotels to our TRS lessees.

At June 30, 2014, all of our hotel properties are operated pursuant to hotel management agreements with third party hotel management companies, including the following:

· Interstate Management Company, LLC and its affiliate Noble Management Group, LLC — 50 hotel properties

· Select Hotel Group, LLC — 12 hotel properties

· Affiliates of Marriott, including Courtyard Management Corporation, SpringHill SMC Corporation and Residence Inn by Marriott — six hotel properties

· White Lodging Services Corporation — four hotel properties

· Kana Hotels, Inc. — three hotel properties

· InterMountain Management, LLC and its affiliate, Pillar Hotels and Resorts, LP — seven hotel properties

· Affiliates of IHG including IHG Management (Maryland) LLC and Intercontinental Hotel Group Resources, Inc. — two hotel properties

· HP Hotels Management Company, Inc. — two hotel properties

· OTO Development, LLC — two hotel properties

· American Liberty Hospitality, Inc. — one hotel property

· Stonebridge Realty Advisors, Inc. — one hotel property

Our TRS lessees may also employ other hotel managers in the future. We have, and will have, no ownership or economic interest in any of the hotel management companies engaged by our TRS lessees.

Our revenue is derived from hotel operations and consists of room revenue and other hotel operations revenue. As a result of our focus on select-service hotels in the upscale and upper midscale segments of the U.S. lodging industry, substantially all of our revenue is room revenue generated from sales of hotel rooms. We also generate, to a much lesser extent, other hotel operations revenue, which consists of ancillary revenue related to meeting rooms and other guest services provided at our hotels.

Table of Contents

Industry Trends and Outlook

Room-night demand in the U.S. lodging industry is correlated to macroeconomic trends. Key drivers of demand include growth in gross domestic product, or GDP, corporate profits, capital investments and employment. Following periods of recession, recovery of room-night demand for lodging historically has lagged improvements in the overall economy. However, in the economic recovery beginning in early 2010, room-night demand has led improvements in the overall economy. Although we expect that our hotels will realize meaningful RevPAR gains as the economy and lodging industry continue to improve, the risk exists that global and domestic economic conditions may cause the economic recovery to stall, which likely would adversely affect our growth and financial performance expectations.

We have a positive outlook about macro-economic conditions and their effect on room-night demand. We also expect that our near-term results will not be adversely affected by increased lodging supply in our markets. Growth in lodging supply typically lags growth in room-night demand. Key drivers of lodging supply include the availability and cost of capital, construction costs, local real estate market conditions and availability and pricing of existing properties. As a result of the scarcity of financing, a severe recession and declining operating fundamentals, during 2008 and 2009 many planned hotel developments were cancelled or postponed. We believe the effect of the severe recession will be prolonged compared with prior recessions, which could limit supply growth.

On June 30, 2014, we acquired the outstanding non-controlling interest in the joint venture for $8.2 million. As a result, this hotel property became wholly-owned by us.

(3) During the second quarter of 2014, we added 14 guestrooms to our portfolio due to hotel renovations. Thus, at June 30, 2014, our hotel property portfolio consisted of 90 hotels containing 11,367 guestrooms. Due to the addition of one guestroom in July 2014, our hotel property portfolio at August 1, 2014 consisted of 90 hotels containing 11,368 guestrooms.

(1) The purchase price for this hotel included the issuance of 412,174 Common Units in our Operating Partnership valued at the time of issuance at $3.7 million.

(3) Actual total renovation cost.

(4) Actual-to-date and estimated remaining costs to complete.

(5) Purchase price and renovation costs are funded by mortgage debt, advances on our senior unsecured revolving line of credit facility, cash and the issuance of Operating Partnership Common Units described in footnote 1 to this table. Additional information about the mortgage debt financing is provided below in “Outstanding Indebtedness — Term Loans.”

Of the total renovation costs detailed in the table above, $17.8 million have been incurred as of June 30, 2014. There is no assurance that our actual renovation costs will not exceed our estimates.

Dispositions

Pursuant to our strategy to continually evaluate our hotel properties and land held for development, we sold two hotel properties in the first six months of 2014. Historically, when a property was identified as being held for sale, we reclassified the property on our consolidated balance sheets, evaluated for potential impairment and, in the case of a hotel property, reported historical and future results of operations in discontinued operations. We recognized impairment charges on hotel properties in discontinued operations and on land held for development in continuing operations of $1.1 million and $1.5 million in the first six months of 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Table of Contents

As discussed in the footnotes to the consolidated financial statements, we have elected to early adopt ASU No. 2014-08 which changes the criteria for discontinued operations to include only disposals that represent a strategic shift in operations with a major effect on operations and results. While we have elected early adoption for our consolidated financial statements and footnote disclosures, the sale of the AmericInn, Aspen Hotel & Suites and Hampton Inn in Fort Smith, AR will be included in discontinued operations as these hotels were classified as held for sale in prior periods. Under this ASU, the Company anticipates that the majority of future property sales will not be classified as discontinued operations.

On January 17, 2014, we sold the AmericInn Hotel & Suites and the Aspen Hotel & Suites in Fort Smith, AR for $3.1 million. The sale of the AmericInn Hotel & Suites also included the assignment of its related ground lease.

On January 15, 2013, we sold the AmericInn Hotel & Suites in Golden, CO for $2.6 million. On February 15, 2013, we sold the Hampton Inn in Denver, CO for $5.5 million and recognized a gain on the sale of $1.7 million. On February 27, 2013, we sold a parcel of land in Jacksonville, FL for $1.9 million. On May 1, 2013, we sold the Holiday Inn and Holiday Inn Express in Boise, ID for $12.6 million. On May 30, 2013, we sold the Courtyard by Marriott in Memphis, TN for $4.2 million.

Results of Operations of Summit Hotel Properties, Inc.

The comparisons that follow should be reviewed in conjunction with the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. As noted above, in the first six months of 2014 we sold the AmericInn Hotel & Suites and the Aspen Hotel & Suites in Fort Smith, AR. In addition, at June 30, 2014, we classified as held for sale the Hampton Inn in Fort Smith, AR. Accordingly, we classified these hotel properties as discontinued operations and their operating results are not included in the discussion below.

Comparison of Three Months Ended June 30, 2014 with Three Months Ended June 30, 2013

Key operating metrics for our total portfolio (89 hotels at June 30, 2014 and 82 hotels at June 30, 2013, excluding discontinued operations) and our same-store portfolio (66 hotels) for the three months ended June 30, 2014 (“second quarter of 2014”) and for the three months ended June 30, 2013 (“second quarter of 2013”) follows (dollars in thousands, except ADR and RevPAR):

	Three Months Ended June 30,
	2014						2013						Percentage Change
	Total Portfolio (89 hotels)			Same-Store Portfolio (66 hotels)			Total Portfolio (82 hotels)			Same-Store Portfolio (66 hotels)			Total Portfolio (89/82 hotels)		Same-Store Portfolio (66 hotels)
Total revenues	$	105,525		$	63,694		$	79,105		$	58,472		33.4	%	8.9	%

RevPAR	$	97.93		$	88.28		$	86.37		$	81.07		13.4	%	8.9	%

Revenue. Total revenues, including room and other hotel operations revenue, increased $26.4 million in the second quarter of 2014 compared with the second quarter of 2013. The increase in revenues is due to an increase in same-store revenues of $5.2 million and an increase in revenues from the 19 hotel properties acquired in 2013 and four hotel properties acquired in the first six months of 2014 (the “Acquired Hotels”) of $21.2 million.

The same-store revenue increase of $5.2 million, or 8.9%, was due to increases in occupancy to 78.9% in the second quarter of 2014 compared with 77.0% in the second quarter of 2013, and an increase in ADR to $111.91 in the second quarter of 2014 from $105.27 in the second quarter of 2013. The increases in occupancy and ADR resulted in an 8.9% increase in same-store RevPAR to $88.28 in the second quarter of 2014 compared with $81.07 in the second quarter of 2013. These increases were due to the improving economy, hotel industry fundamentals and renovations made at 17 hotel properties in 2013.

Table of Contents

Hotel Operating Expenses. Hotel operating expenses increased $15.9 million in the second quarter of 2014 compared with the second quarter of 2013. The increase is due in part to the additional operating expenses from the Acquired Hotels of $12.6 million. In addition, the increase in same-store hotel operating expenses is due to $3.3 million of variable costs related to the increase in revenue.

A summary of our hotel operating expenses for our same-store portfolio (66 hotels) for second quarter of 2014 and 2013 follows (dollars in thousands):

	Three Months Ended June 30,				Percentage		Percentage of Revenue Three Months Ended June 30,
	2014		2013		Change		2014		2013
Rooms expense	$	16,568	$	15,593	6.3	%	26.0	%	26.7	%

Total hotel operating expenses	$	41,466	$	38,166	8.6	%	65.1	%	65.3	%

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense increased $3.9 million in the second quarter of 2014 compared with second quarter of 2013, primarily due to the depreciation associated with the Acquired Hotels.

Corporate General and Administrative. Corporate general and administrative expenses increased by $1.4 million in the second quarter of 2014 compared with second quarter of 2013. The increase in expense was primarily due to increases in equity-based compensation of $0.5 million and expenses related to the transition of directors and executive officers of $0.6 million.

Other Income/Expense. The $1.9 million increase in other income (expense) was primarily the result of an increase in interest expense due to debt incurred to finance the acquisition of the Acquired Hotels.

Comparison of the First Six Months of 2014 with the First Six Months of 2013

Key operating metrics for our total portfolio (89 hotels at June 30, 2014 and 82 hotels at June 30, 2013, excluding discontinued operations) and our same-store portfolio (66 hotels) for the six months ended June 30, 2014 (the “first six months of 2014”) compared with the six months ended June 30, 2013 (the “first six months of 2013”) follows (dollars in thousands, except ADR and RevPAR):

RevPAR	$	91.94		$	84.22		$	81.92		$	77.52		12.2	%	8.6	%

Revenue. Total revenues, including room and other hotel operations revenue, increased $56.2 million in the first six months of 2014 compared with the first six months of 2013. The increase in revenues is due to an increase in same-store revenues of $9.5 million and a $46.7 million increase in revenues from the Acquired Hotels.

Table of Contents

The same-store revenue increase of $9.5 million, or 8.6%, was due to an increase in occupancy to 75.9% in the first six months of 2014 compared with 73.7% in the first six months of 2013, and an increase in ADR to $111.00 in the first six months of 2014 from $105.24 in the first six months of 2013. The increases in occupancy and ADR resulted in an 8.6% increase in same-store RevPAR to $84.22 in the first six months of 2014 compared with $77.52 in the first six months of 2013. These increases were due to the improving economy and hotel industry fundamentals and renovations made at 17 hotel properties in 2013.

Hotel Operating Expenses. Hotel operating expenses increased $36.1 million in the first six months of 2014 compared with the first six months of 2013. The increase is due in part to a $29.8 million increase in operating expenses at the Acquired Hotels. In addition, the increase in same-store hotel operating expenses is due to $6.2 million of variable costs related to the increase in revenue. Expenses at the same-store hotels declined as a percentage of revenue from 66.1% in the first six months of 2013 to 66.0% in the first six months of 2014, due to stability in expenses despite increasing revenues at the same-store hotel properties.

A summary of our hotel operating expenses for our same-store portfolio (66 hotels) for the first six months of 2014 and the first six months of 2013 follows (dollars in thousands):

	Six Months Ended June 30,				Percentage		Percentage of Revenue Six Months Ended June 30,
	2014		2013		Change		2014		2013
Rooms expense	$	32,139	$	30,179	6.5	%	26.6	%	27.1	%
Other direct expense	15,748		14,199		10.9	%	13.0	%	12.7	%

Total hotel operating expenses	$	79,884	$	73,649	8.5	%	66.0	%	66.1	%

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense increased $8.7 million in the first six months of 2014 compared with the first six months of 2013, primarily due to the depreciation associated with the Acquired Hotels.

Corporate General and Administrative. Corporate general and administrative expenses increased $2.5 million in the first six months of 2014 compared with the first six months of 2013. Approximately $1.0 million of the increase was due to increased professional fees and expenses related to establishing new procedures and systems for intercompany account reconciliations, as well as performing the reconciliation of the balance sheets of intercompany accounts between individual hotels and our consolidated statements of operations for the years ended 2013 and 2012. Additional increases in expense were due to increases in equity-based compensation of $0.5 million and expenses related to the transition of directors and executive officers of $0.6 million.

Other Income/Expense. The $4.3 million increase in other income (expense) in the first six months of 2014 compared with the first six months of 2013 was primarily the result of an increase in interest expense due to debt incurred to finance the acquisition of the Acquired Hotels.

Cash Flows

The increase in net cash provided by operating activities of $13.9 million for the first six months of 2014 compared with the first six months of 2013 primarily resulted from a $3.9 million improvement in earnings and a $7.3 million increase in depreciation and amortization. The increase in depreciation was primarily related to the Acquired Hotels. The $272.7 million decrease in net cash used in investing activities for the first six months of 2014 compared with the first six months of 2013 primarily resulted from a $298.5 million decrease in acquisitions of hotel properties and a $11.8 million decrease in restricted cash related to renovation reserves funded; partially offset by an $8.2 million increase in improvements and additions to hotel properties, an $8.2 million payment to acquire the remaining 19% non-controlling interest in a joint venture that owns the Holiday Inn Express & Suites in San Francisco, CA and a $22.4 million decrease in net proceeds from asset dispositions. The $312.0 million decrease in net cash provided by financing activities for the first six months of 2014 compared with the first six months of 2013 resulted from a $237.3 million decrease in proceeds from equity offerings, a decrease in proceeds from issuance of debt of $137.2 million and a $6.0 million increase in dividends and distributions, partially offset by a $67.0 million decrease in payments on debt.

Discontinued Operations

Pursuant to our strategy, we continually evaluate our hotel properties for potential sale and redeployment of capital. Historically, when a hotel property was sold or identified as being held for sale, we reported its historical and future results of operations, including impairment charges, in discontinued operations. As discussed above, while we have elected early adoption of ASU No. 2014-08 for our consolidated financial statements and footnote disclosures, hotels that were classified as held for sale in prior periods will continue to be reported in discontinued operations. In the first six months of 2014, we reported the following hotel properties in discontinued operations:

· AmericInn Hotel & Suites in Fort Smith, AR

· Aspen Hotel & Suites in Fort Smith, AR

· Hampton Inn in Fort Smith, AR

The AmericInn Hotel & Suites and the Aspen Hotel & Suites located in Fort Smith, AR were sold on January 17, 2014. The Hampton Inn in Fort Smith, AR was classified as held for sale at June 30, 2014 and is currently under contract for sale.

A summary of results from our hotel properties included in discontinued operations follows (in thousands):

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We consider funds from operations (“FFO”) and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), both of which are non-GAAP financial measures, to be useful to investors as key supplemental measures of our operating performance.

We caution investors that amounts presented in accordance with our definitions of FFO and EBITDA may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by other companies, since not all companies calculate these non-GAAP measures in the same manner. FFO and EBITDA should be considered along with, but not as alternatives to, net income (loss) as a measure of our operating performance. FFO and EBITDA may include funds that may not be available for our discretionary use due to functional requirements to conserve funds for capital expenditures, property acquisitions, debt service obligations and other commitments and uncertainties. Although we believe that FFO and EBITDA can enhance the understanding of our financial condition and results of operations, these non-GAAP financial measures are not necessarily better indicators of any trend as compared to a comparable GAAP measure such as net income (loss).

Funds From Operations

As defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, (“NAREIT”), FFO represents net income or loss (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property, impairment, items classified by GAAP as extraordinary, the cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles, plus depreciation and amortization, and adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. We present FFO because we consider it an important supplemental measure of our operational performance and believe it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of REITs, many of which present FFO when reporting their results. FFO is intended to exclude GAAP historical cost depreciation and amortization, which assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes ratably over time. Historically, however, real estate values have risen or

Table of Contents

fallen with market conditions. Because FFO excludes depreciation and amortization unique to real estate, gains and losses from property dispositions and impairment losses, it provides a performance measure that, when compared year over year, reflects the effect to operations from trends in occupancy, room rates, operating costs, development activities and interest costs, providing perspective not immediately apparent from net income. Our computation of FFO differs from the NAREIT definition and may differ from the methodology for calculating FFO utilized by other equity REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REITs because the amount of depreciation and amortization we add back to net income or loss includes amortization of deferred financing costs and amortization of franchise royalty fees. FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP) as an indicator of our liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to pay dividends or make distributions.

The following is a reconciliation of our GAAP net income to FFO for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 (in thousands):

(1) The Company includes the outstanding Common Units of the Operating Partnership held by limited partners other than the Company because these Common Units are redeemable for shares of the Company’s common stock.

Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization

EBITDA represents net income or loss, excluding: (i) interest, (ii) income tax expense and (iii) depreciation and amortization. We believe EBITDA is useful to an investor in evaluating our operating performance because it provides investors with an indication of our ability to incur and service debt, to satisfy general operating expenses, to make capital expenditures and to fund other cash needs or reinvest cash into our business. We also believe it helps investors meaningfully evaluate and compare the results of our operations from period to period by removing the effect of our asset base (primarily depreciation and amortization) from our operating results. Our management also uses EBITDA as one measure in determining the value of acquisitions and dispositions.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our short-term liquidity requirements consist primarily of operating expenses and other expenditures directly associated with our hotel properties, recurring maintenance and capital expenditures necessary to maintain our hotel properties in accordance with brand standards, capital expenditures to improve our hotel properties, acquisitions, interest expense and scheduled principal payments on outstanding indebtedness, and distributions to our stockholders.

Our long-term liquidity requirements consist primarily of the costs of acquiring additional hotel properties, renovations and other non-recurring capital expenditures that periodically are made with respect to our hotel properties, and scheduled debt payments, including maturing loans.

To satisfy the requirements for qualification as a REIT, we must meet a number of organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement that we distribute annually at least 90% of our REIT taxable income to our stockholders, determined without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and excluding any net capital gains. We generally intend to distribute at least 100% of our REIT taxable income to avoid tax on undistributed income. Therefore, if sufficient funds are not available to us from hotel dispositions, our senior unsecured revolving credit facility and mortgage loans, we will need to raise additional capital to grow our business and invest in additional hotel properties.

We expect to satisfy our liquidity requirements with cash provided by operations, working capital, and short-term borrowings under our senior unsecured revolving credit facility. In addition, we may fund the purchase price of hotel acquisitions and cost of required capital improvements by borrowing under our senior unsecured revolving credit facility, assuming existing mortgage debt, issuing securities (including Common Units issued by the Operating Partnership), or incurring other mortgage debt. Further, we may seek to raise capital through public or private offerings of our equity or debt securities. However, certain factors may have a material adverse effect on our ability to access these capital sources, including our degree of leverage, the value of our unencumbered hotel properties, borrowing restrictions

Table of Contents

imposed by lenders and market conditions. We will continue to analyze which sources of capital are most advantageous to us at any particular point in time, but financing may not be consistently available to us on terms that are attractive, or at all. We believe that our cash provided by operations, working capital, borrowings available under our senior unsecured revolving credit facility and other sources of funds available to us will be sufficient to meet our ongoing liquidity requirements for at least the next 12 months.

Restricted Cash

We have submitted requests to our lenders for the release of approximately $20.0 million of our restricted cash. Upon final approval, these funds will be added to our unrestricted cash balance and will be available for use in operations. We believe the release of restricted cash is appropriate under the terms of the respective loan documents, therefore, we expect to receive these funds during the third quarter of 2014. There is no assurance that our lenders will agree to this request and release this cash.

Outstanding Indebtedness

At June 30, 2014, we had $423.9 million in debt secured by mortgages on 49 hotel properties. We also had $156.0 million outstanding under our senior unsecured credit facility that was supported by 37 hotel properties unencumbered by mortgage debt.

Senior Unsecured Credit Facility

Table of Contents

Bank, Fifth Third Bank, Raymond James Bank, N.A., and U.S. Bank National Association. Certain of our existing and future subsidiaries that own or lease an unencumbered asset, as described below, will be required to guaranty this credit facility.

Outstanding borrowings on this credit facility are limited to the least of (i) the aggregate commitments of all of the lenders, (ii) the aggregate value of the unencumbered assets, less our consolidated unsecured indebtedness, all as calculated pursuant to the terms of the credit facility documentation, multiplied by 60%, and (iii) the principal amount that when drawn under the credit facility would result in an unsecured interest expense, calculated on a pro forma basis for the next consecutive four fiscal quarters after taking such draws into account, equal to 50% of the net operating income of the unencumbered assets, as adjusted pursuant to the credit facility documentation.

Payment Terms. We are obligated to pay interest at the end of each selected interest period, but not less than quarterly, with all outstanding principal and accrued but unpaid interest due at the maturity. We have the right to pay all or any portion of the outstanding borrowings from time to time without penalty or premium. We pay interest on advances at varying rates, based upon, at our option, either (i) 1, 2, 3, or 6-month LIBOR, plus a LIBOR margin between 1.75% and 2.50%, depending upon our leverage ratio (as defined in the credit facility documentation), or (ii) the applicable base rate, which is the greatest of the administrative agent’s prime rate, the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, or 1-month LIBOR plus 1.00%, plus a base rate margin between 0.75% and 1.50%, depending upon our leverage ratio. In addition, on a quarterly basis, we are required to pay a fee on the unused portion of the credit facility equal to the unused amount multiplied by an annual rate of either (i) 0.30%, if the unused amount is equal to or greater than 50% of the maximum aggregate amount of the credit facility, or (ii) 0.20%, if the unused amount is less than 50% of the maximum aggregate amount of the credit facility.

Financial and Other Covenants. We are required to comply with a series of financial and other covenants in order to borrow under this credit facility. The material financial covenants include a maximum leverage ratio, a minimum consolidated tangible net worth, a maximum dividend payout ratio, a minimum consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio, a maximum ratio of secured indebtedness to total asset value, a maximum ratio of secured recourse indebtedness to total asset value, a maximum ratio of consolidated unsecured indebtedness to total unencumbered asset value, and a maximum ratio of unencumbered adjusted net operating income to assumed unsecured interest expense.

We are also subject to other customary covenants, including restrictions on investment and limitations on liens and maintenance of properties. This credit facility also contains customary events of default, including, among others, the failure to make payments when due under the terms of any of the credit facilities, breach of any covenant continuing beyond any cure period, and bankruptcy or insolvency.

Unencumbered Assets. This credit facility is unsecured; however, borrowings are limited by the value of hotel properties that qualify as unencumbered assets supporting this credit facility. At June 30, 2014, 37 of our hotel properties qualify as, and are deemed to be, unencumbered assets that support this credit facility. Among other conditions, unencumbered assets must not be subject to liens or security interests, and the owner and operating lessee of such unencumbered asset must execute a guaranty supplement pursuant to which the owner and operating lessee become subsidiary guarantors of the credit facility. In addition, hotel properties may be added to or removed from the unencumbered asset pool at any time so long as there is a minimum of 20 hotel properties in the unencumbered asset pool, the unencumbered assets meet certain diversity requirements (such as limits on concentrations in any particular market), and the then-current borrowings on the credit facility do not exceed the maximum available under the credit facility given the availability limitations described above. Further, to be eligible as an unencumbered asset, the hotel property must: be franchised with a nationally-recognized franchisor; have been in operation a minimum of one year; satisfy certain ownership, management and operating lessee criteria; and not be subject to material defects, such as liens, title defects, environmental contamination and other standard lender criteria.

Table of Contents

At August 1, 2014, 37 of our unencumbered hotel properties are included in the borrowing base which supports the senior unsecured credit facility. As a result, the maximum amount of borrowing permitted under the senior unsecured credit facility was $300.0 million, of which we had $148.0 million borrowed, $13.8 million in standby letters of credit and $138.2 million available to borrow.

Term Loans

At June 30, 2014, we had $498.9 million in term loans outstanding. These term loans are secured primarily by first mortgage liens on hotel properties.

On March 28, 2014, we amended two loans with GE Capital Financial, cross - collateralized by the Courtyard by Marriott and the SpringHill Suites by Marriott, both located in Scottsdale, AZ. The loans were amended to bear interest at a fixed rate of 5.39% and the maturity date was extended to April 1, 2020.

On March 28, 2014, we amended two loans with General Electric Capital Corp., cross - collateralized by the Hilton Garden Inn (Lakeshore) and the Hilton Garden Inn (Liberty Park), both located in Birmingham, AL. Both loans were amended to bear interest at a fixed rate of 5.39% and the maturity dates were extended to April 1, 2020.

For additional information regarding our term loans, please read our consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto, appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.

Equity Transactions

On April 1, 2014, we redeemed 25,349 Common Units in our Operating Partnership, which had been tendered on January 31, 2014 for shares of our common stock. On May 2, 2014, 46,788 Common Units were tendered for redemption, which we redeemed for 46,788 shares of our common stock on July 1, 2014.

Capital Expenditures

In the first six months of 2014, we spent $22.8 million on renovations, including $17.8 million on hotel properties that we owned at the beginning of 2013 and $5.0 million on hotel properties acquired since the beginning of 2013. We currently have renovations underway at five of our hotel properties. We anticipate spending a total of $14.0 million to $20.0 million on hotel property renovations in the remainder of 2014. We expect to fund these renovations with cash provided by operations, working capital, borrowings under our senior unsecured revolving credit facility, and other potential sources of capital, to the extent available to us.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

From time to time, we enter into off-balance sheet arrangements to facilitate our operations. At June 30, 2014, we had $13.8 million in outstanding stand-by letters of credit, of which $0.7 million was supporting performance bonds related to workers’ compensation insurance and other operational matters and $13.1 million was supporting a purchase agreement for the Hampton Inn & Suites in downtown Minneapolis, MN. At August 1, 2014, we had $13.8 million in outstanding standby letters of credit.

Contractual Obligations

The timing of required payments related to our long-term debt and other contractual obligations at June 30, 2014 follows (in thousands):

	Payments Due By Period
	Total		Less than One Year		One to Three Years		Four to Five Years		More than Five Years
Debt obligations (1)	$	748,779	$	37,340	$	180,496	$	248,512	$	282,431
Operating lease obligations (2)	72,330		819		1,033		786		69,692
Purchase obligations (3)	5,917		5,917		—		—		—
Other long-term liabilities (4)	8,000		8,000		—		—		—
Total	$	835,026	$	52,076	$	181,529	$	249,298	$	352,123

(1) Amounts shown include amortization of principal, maturities, and estimated interest payments. Interest payments on variable rate debt have been estimated using the rates in effect at June 30, 2014, after giving effect to interest rate swaps.

(2) Primarily ground leases and corporate office leases.

(3) Represents purchase orders and executed contracts for renovation projects at our hotel properties.

(4) Represents remaining note funding obligation.

In addition to the contractual obligations in the above table, at June 30, 2014 we are also obligated under a purchase agreement with a hotel property developer to acquire a Hampton Inn & Suites in downtown Minneapolis, MN for $37.7 million subject to certain conditions, including the completion of construction of the hotel in accordance with agreed upon architectural and engineering designs, receipt of a Hampton Inn & Suites franchise, and receipt of a certificate of occupancy. Therefore, there is no assurance that the acquisition will be completed. In January 2014, we issued a standby letter of credit for $13.1 million in support of this purchase agreement. This letter of credit was issued under our senior unsecured credit facility.

Inflation

Operators of hotel properties, 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.

Table of Contents

Seasonality

Certain segments of the hotel industry are seasonal in nature. Leisure travelers tend to travel more during the summer. Business travelers occupy hotels relatively consistently throughout the year, but decreases in business travel occur during summer and the winter holidays. The hotel industry is also seasonal based upon geography. Hotels in the southern U.S. tend to have higher occupancy rates during the winter months. Hotels in the northern U.S. tend to have higher occupancy rates during the summer months. Due to our portfolio’s geographic diversification, our revenue has not experienced significant seasonality.

Critical Accounting Policies

There have been no significant changes in our critical accounting policies or estimates from those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

Market risk includes risks that arise from changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices, equity prices and other market changes that affect market-sensitive instruments. In pursuing our business strategies, the primary market risk to which we are currently exposed, and to which we expect to be exposed in the future, is interest rate risk. Our primary interest rate exposure is to 30-day LIBOR. We primarily use fixed interest rate financing to manage our exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. On a limited basis we also use derivative financial instruments to manage interest rate risk.

At June 30, 2014, we were party to four interest rate swap agreements with a total notional amount of $103.6 million, where we receive variable rate payments in exchange for making fixed rate payments. These agreements are accounted for as cash flow hedges and have an aggregate termination value, including accrued interest, of $2.4 million at June 30, 2014.

At June 30, 2014, after giving effect to our interest rate swap agreements, $472.0 million, or 81.4%, of our debt had fixed interest rates and $107.9 million, or 18.6%, had variable interest rates. Assuming no increase in the outstanding balance of our variable rate debt, if interest rates increase by 1.0% our cash flow would decrease by approximately $1.1 million per year.

As our fixed rate debts mature, they will become subject to interest rate risk. In addition, as our variable rate debts mature, lenders may impose interest rate floors on new financing arrangements because of the low interest rates experienced during the past few years. At June 30, 2014, we have no debt that matures in 2014. However, $10.8 million of our long-term debt is scheduled to amortize in the next twelve months, of which $10.5 million has fixed interest rates.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, these disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

We have continued the implementation of changes to our internal controls over financial reporting to remediate the material weakness identified in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. In the course of preparing our 2013 Annual Report and the consolidated financial statements included therein, our management identified a deficiency in the design of our internal control over financial reporting in that we did not have

Table of Contents

in place controls and procedures that would allow us to reconcile the balance sheets of our individual hotels included in our final consolidated balance sheet to the balance sheet information provided by our third party property managers for each individual hotel. As a result of the design deficiency, the intercompany accounts between the entities which form the consolidated company had not been reconciled in 2013 and in prior periods.

In order to prepare the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013 and for the quarter ended March 31, 2014, the audit committee of our board of directors engaged a nationally recognized consulting and accounting firm to assist our management with the reconciliation of the intercompany accounts for 2012, 2013 and the first quarter of 2014. The Company has developed internal processes and procedures to have its accounting staff reconcile intercompany accounts on a monthly basis as part of its normal accounting close process. Furthermore, the Company has engaged a local consulting firm to assist with the development of processes and procedures related to the reconciliation of the balance sheets of our individual hotels to the balance sheet information provided by our third party property managers at each quarter end and to perform the reconciliation for the second quarter of 2014.

Notwithstanding the material weakness, our management has concluded that the consolidated financial statements included in our 2013 Annual Report and in the Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the periods ended March 31, 2014 and June 30, 2014, present fairly in all material respects the consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company and its subsidiaries.

Our management continues to work diligently to further identify and implement procedures and controls to remediate the material weakness and strengthen our overall internal controls. We are continuing to retain and develop resources to improve our processes, procedures and internal control environment.
