NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

Note 1. Business

Organization

Carey Watermark Investors 2 Incorporated (“CWI 2”) is a publicly owned, non-traded real estate investment trust (“REIT”) that, together with its consolidated subsidiaries, invests in, manages and seeks to enhance the value of, interests in lodging and lodging-related properties in the United States. We conduct substantially all of our investment activities and own all of our assets through CWI 2 OP, LP (the “Operating Partnership”). We are a general partner and a limited partner of, and own a 99.985% capital interest in, the Operating Partnership. Carey Watermark Holdings 2, LLC (“Carey Watermark Holdings 2”), which is owned indirectly by W. P. Carey Inc. (“WPC”), holds a special general partner interest in the Operating Partnership.

We are managed by Carey Lodging Advisors, LLC (our “Advisor”), an indirect subsidiary of WPC. Our Advisor manages our overall portfolio, including providing oversight and strategic guidance to the independent hotel operators that manage our hotels. CWA 2, LLC (the “Subadvisor”), a subsidiary of Watermark Capital Partners LLC, provides services to our Advisor primarily relating to acquiring, managing, financing and disposing of our hotels and overseeing the independent operators that manage the day-to-day operations of our hotels. In addition, the Subadvisor provides us with the services of Mr. Michael G. Medzigian, our Chief Executive Officer, subject to the approval of our independent directors.

We held ownership interests in 12 hotels at June 30, 2019, including ten hotels that we consolidate (“Consolidated Hotels”) and two hotels that we record as equity investments (“Unconsolidated Hotels”).

Public Offering

We raised offering proceeds in our initial public offering of $280.3 million from our Class A common stock and $571.0 million from our Class T common stock. The offering commenced in May 2014 and closed in July 2017. We have fully invested the proceeds from our offering. In addition, from inception through June 30, 2019, $24.8 million and $49.2 million of distributions were reinvested in our Class A and Class T common stock, respectively, through our distribution reinvestment plan (“DRIP”).

Note 2. Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

Our interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not necessarily include all information and footnotes necessary for a fair statement of our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”).

In the opinion of management, the unaudited financial information for the interim periods presented in this Report reflects all normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of financial position, results of operations and cash flows. Our interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes for the year ended December 31, 2018, which are included in our 2018 Annual Report, as certain disclosures that would substantially duplicate those contained in the audited consolidated financial statements have not been included in this Report. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of operating results for an entire year.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and the disclosure of contingent amounts in our consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Basis of Consolidation

Our consolidated financial statements reflect all of our accounts, including those of our controlled subsidiaries. The portions of equity in consolidated subsidiaries that are not attributable, directly or indirectly, to us are presented as noncontrolling interests. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

When we obtain an economic interest in an entity, we evaluate the entity to determine if it should be deemed a VIE, and, if so, whether we are the primary beneficiary and are therefore required to consolidate the entity. There have been no significant changes in our VIE policies from what was disclosed in the 2018 Annual Report.

At June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we considered three and four entities to be VIEs, respectively, of which we consolidated two and three, respectively, as we are considered the primary beneficiary. The following table presents a summary of selected financial data of consolidated VIEs included in the consolidated balance sheets (in thousands):



	June 30, 2019		December 31, 2018
Net investments in hotels	$	287,570	$	566,272
Total assets	316,683		603,403

Non-recourse debt, net	$	176,901	$	320,603
Total liabilities	194,910		350,920

Reclassifications

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

Restricted Cash

The following table provides a reconciliation of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash reported within the consolidated balance sheets to the consolidated statements of cash flows (in thousands):



	June 30, 2019		December 31, 2018

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Pronouncements Adopted as of June 30, 2019

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). ASU 2016-02 modifies the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of leases for both parties to a contract: the lessee and the lessor. ASU 2016-02 provides new guidelines that change the accounting for leasing arrangements for lessees, whereby their rights and obligations under substantially all leases, existing and new, are capitalized and recorded on the balance sheet. For lessors, however, the new standard remains generally consistent with existing guidance, but has been updated to align with certain changes to the lessee model and ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).

We adopted this guidance for our interim and annual periods beginning January 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective method, applying the transition provisions at the beginning of the period of adoption rather than at the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented. We elected the package of practical expedients as permitted under the transition guidance, which allowed us to not reassess whether arrangements contain leases, lease classification and initial direct costs. The adoption of the lease standard did not result in a cumulative effect adjustment recognized in the opening balance of retained earnings as of January 1, 2019. On January 1, 2019, we recognized a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability related to our operating leases of $1.5 million and $2.3 million, respectively, in Other assets and Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities, respectively, in our consolidated balance sheet.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities. ASU 2017-12 makes more financial and nonfinancial hedging strategies eligible for hedge accounting. It also amends the presentation and disclosure requirements and changes how companies assess hedge effectiveness. It is intended to more closely align hedge accounting with companies’ risk management strategies, simplify the application of hedge accounting, and increase transparency as to the scope and results of hedging programs. We adopted this guidance for our interim and annual periods beginning January 1, 2019. The adoption of ASU 2017-12 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting. ASU 2018-07 expands the scope of Topic 718 to include share-based payment transactions in exchange for goods and services from nonemployees, which will align the accounting for such payments to nonemployees with the existing requirements for share-based payments granted to employees (with certain exceptions). These share-based payments will now be measured at the grant-date fair value of the equity instrument issued. We adopted this guidance for our interim and annual periods beginning January 1, 2019. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Note 3. Agreements and Transactions with Related Parties

Agreements with Our Advisor and Affiliates

We have an advisory agreement with our Advisor (the “Advisory Agreement”) to perform certain services for us under a fee arrangement, including managing our overall business, our investments and certain administrative duties. The Advisory Agreement has a term of one year and may be renewed for successive one-year periods. Our Advisor also has a subadvisory agreement with the Subadvisor (the “Subadvisory Agreement”) whereby our Advisor pays 25% of its fees earned under the Advisory Agreement and Available Cash Distributions (as defined below) and 30% of the subordinated incentive distributions to the Subadvisor in return for certain personnel services.

The following tables present a summary of fees we paid, expenses we reimbursed and distributions we made to our Advisor, the Subadvisor and other affiliates, as described below, in accordance with the terms of those agreements (in thousands):

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Asset Management Fees, Disposition Fees and Loan Refinancing Fees

We pay our Advisor an annual asset management fee equal to 0.55% of the aggregate average market value of our investments, as described in the Advisory Agreement. Our Advisor is also entitled to receive disposition fees of up to 1.5% of the contract sales price of a property, as well as a loan refinancing fee of up to 1.0% of the principal amount of a refinanced loan, if certain conditions described in the Advisory Agreement are met. If our Advisor elects to receive all or a portion of its fees in shares of our Class A common stock, the number of shares issued is determined by dividing the dollar amount of fees by our most recently published estimated net asset value per share (“NAV”) for Class A shares. For the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, we settled $5.3 million and $5.2 million, respectively, of asset management fees in shares of our Class A common stock at our Advisor’s election. At June 30, 2019, our Advisor owned 3,017,784 shares (3.3%) of our total outstanding common stock. Asset management fees are included in Asset management fees to affiliate and other expenses in the consolidated financial statements.

Available Cash Distributions

Carey Watermark Holdings 2’s special general partner interest entitles it to receive distributions of 10% of Available Cash, as defined in the limited partnership agreement of the Operating Partnership (“Available Cash Distributions”) generated by the Operating Partnership, subject to certain limitations. In addition, in the event of the dissolution of the Operating Partnership, Carey Watermark Holdings 2 will be entitled to receive distributions of up to 15% of net proceeds, provided certain return thresholds are met for the initial investors in the Operating Partnership. Available Cash Distributions are included in Income attributable to noncontrolling interests in the consolidated financial statements.

Personnel and Overhead Reimbursements/Reimbursable Costs

Under the terms of the Advisory Agreement, our Advisor generally allocates expenses of dedicated and shared resources, including the cost of personnel, rent and related office expenses, between us and our affiliate, Carey Watermark Investors Incorporated (“CWI 1”), based on total pro rata hotel revenues on a quarterly basis. CWI 1 is a publicly owned, non-traded REIT that is also advised by our Advisor and invests in lodging and lodging-related properties. Pursuant to the Subadvisory Agreement, after we reimburse our Advisor, it will subsequently reimburse the Subadvisor for personnel costs and other charges, including the services of our Chief Executive Officer, subject to the approval of our board of directors. These reimbursements are included in Corporate general and administrative expenses and Due to related parties and affiliates in the consolidated financial statements and are settled in cash. We have also granted restricted stock units to employees of the Subadvisor pursuant to our 2015 Equity Incentive Plan.

Other Transactions with Affiliates

Working Capital Facility

On October 19, 2017, our Operating Partnership entered into a $25.0 million secured credit facility with WPC to fund our working capital needs (the “Working Capital Facility”). Pursuant to the related credit agreement, as amended, the Working Capital Facility bears interest at the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus 1.0% provided however, that upon the occurrence of certain events of default (as described in the loan agreement), all outstanding amounts will be subject to a 2.0% annual interest rate increase. The Working Capital Facility matures on the earlier of December 31, 2019 and the expiration or termination of the Advisory Agreement. We serve as guarantor of the Working Capital Facility and have pledged our unencumbered equity interest in certain properties as collateral, as further described in the related pledge and security agreement. At both June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, no amounts were outstanding under the Working Capital Facility.

Jointly-Owned Investments

At June 30, 2019, we owned interests in three ventures with CWI 1: the Marriott Sawgrass Golf Resort & Spa, a Consolidated Hotel, and the Ritz-Carlton Key Biscayne and the Ritz-Carlton Bacara, Santa Barbara, both Unconsolidated Hotels. A third party also owns an interest in the Ritz-Carlton Key Biscayne.

Construction in Progress

At June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, construction in progress, recorded at cost, was $3.1 million and $2.6 million, respectively; which at June 30, 2019 was primarily related to planned renovations at the Ritz-Carlton San Francisco and San Jose Marriott, as well as the restoration of the Marriott Sawgrass Golf Resort & Spa as a result of the damage caused by Hurricane Irma; and at December 31, 2018 was primarily related to planned renovations at the Ritz-Carlton San Francisco and the Renaissance Atlanta Midtown Hotel, as well as the restoration of the Marriott Sawgrass Golf Resort & Spa. Upon substantial completion of renovation work, costs are reclassified from construction in progress to buildings, building and site improvements and furniture, fixture and equipment, as applicable, and depreciation will commence.

We capitalize qualifying interest expense and certain other costs, such as property taxes, property insurance, utilities expense and hotel incremental labor costs, related to hotels undergoing major renovations. We capitalized less than $0.1 million of such costs during both the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, and less than $0.1 million and $0.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. At June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, accrued capital expenditures were $0.4 million and $1.4 million, respectively, representing non-cash investing activity.

Note 5. Equity Investments in Real Estate

At June 30, 2019, we owned equity interests in two Unconsolidated Hotels, one with CWI 1 and one together with CWI 1 and an unrelated third party. We do not control the ventures that own these hotels, but we exercise significant influence over them. We account for these investments under the equity method of accounting (i.e., at cost, increased or decreased by our share of earnings or losses, less distributions, plus contributions and other adjustments required by equity method accounting, such as basis differences from acquisition costs paid to our Advisor that we incur and other-than-temporary impairment charges, if any).

Under the conventional approach of accounting for equity method investments, an investor applies its percentage ownership interest to the venture’s net income to determine the investor’s share of the earnings or losses of the venture. This approach is inappropriate if the venture’s capital structure gives different rights and priorities to its investors. Therefore, we follow the hypothetical liquidation at book value (“HLBV”) method in determining our share of these ventures’ earnings or losses for the reporting period as this method better reflects our claim on the ventures’ book value at the end of each reporting period. Earnings for our equity method investments are recognized in accordance with each respective investment agreement and, where applicable, based upon the allocation of the investment’s net assets at book value as if the investment was hypothetically liquidated at the end of each reporting period.

The following table sets forth our ownership interests in our equity investments in real estate and their respective carrying values. The carrying values of these ventures are affected by the timing and nature of distributions (dollars in thousands):



Unconsolidated Hotels	State	Number of Rooms	% Owned		Hotel Type	Carrying Value at
Unconsolidated Hotels	State	Number of Rooms	% Owned		Hotel Type	June 30, 2019		December 31, 2018

		803				$	124,042	$	121,456

___________


(a)	This investment represents a tenancy-in-common interest; the remaining 40.0% interest is owned by CWI 1.


(b)	We contributed $2.6 million and $5.1 million to this investment during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively, which included funding for the hotel’s renovation.

(c)

CWI 1 acquired a 47.4% interest in the venture on the same date. The remaining 33.3% interest is retained by the original owner. The number of rooms presented includes 143 condo-hotel units that participate in the resort rental program. This investment is considered a VIE (Note 2). We do not consolidate this entity because we are not the primary beneficiary and the nature of our involvement in the activities of the entity allows us to exercise significant influence but does not give us power over decisions that significantly affect the economic performance of the entity.


(d)	We received $0.5 million and $1.0 million of cash distributions from this investment during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively.

Note 6. Fair Value Measurements

The fair value of an asset is defined as the exit price, which is the amount that would either be received when an asset is sold or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The guidance establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers are: Level 1, for which quoted market prices for identical instruments are available in active markets, such as money market funds, equity securities and U.S. Treasury securities; Level 2, for which there are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the instrument, such as certain derivative instruments, including interest rate caps and swaps; and Level 3, for securities that do not fall into Level 1 or Level 2 and for which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring us to develop our own assumptions.

CWI 2 6/30/2019 10-Q – 14

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Items Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

Derivative Assets — Our derivative assets, which are included in Other assets in the consolidated financial statements, are comprised of interest rate caps and swaps (Note 7).

The valuation of our derivative instruments is determined using a discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, as well as observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and implied volatilities. We incorporate credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both our own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements. In adjusting the fair value of our derivative instruments for the effect of nonperformance risk, we have considered the impact of netting and any applicable credit enhancements, such as collateral postings and thresholds. These derivative instruments were classified as Level 2 as these instruments are custom, over-the-counter contracts with various bank counterparties that are not traded in an active market.

We did not have any transfers into or out of Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 category of measurements during the six months ended June 30, 2019 or 2018. Gains and losses (realized and unrealized) recognized on items measured at fair value on a recurring basis included in earnings are reported in Other income and (expenses) in the consolidated financial statements.

Our non-recourse debt, net which we have classified as Level 3, had a carrying value of $832.7 million and $833.8 million at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, and an estimated fair value of $833.4 million and $825.8 million at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. We determined the estimated fair value using a discounted cash flow model with rates that take into account the interest rate risk. We also considered the value of the underlying collateral, taking into account the quality of the collateral and the then-current interest rate.

We estimated that our other financial assets and liabilities had fair values that approximated their carrying values at both June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

Items Measured at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis (Including Impairment Charges)

We periodically assess whether there are any indicators that the value of our real estate investments may be impaired or that their carrying value may not be recoverable. Where the undiscounted cash flows for an asset are less than the asset’s carrying value when considering and evaluating the various alternative courses of action that may occur, we recognize an impairment charge to reduce the carrying value of the asset to its estimated fair value. Further, when we classify an asset as held for sale, we carry the asset at the lower of its current carrying value or its fair value, less estimated cost to sell. We did not recognize any impairment charges during the three or six months ended June 30, 2019 or 2018.

Note 7. Risk Management and Use of Derivative Financial Instruments

Risk Management

In the normal course of our ongoing business operations, we encounter economic risk. There are two main components of economic risk that impact us: interest rate risk and market risk. We are primarily subject to interest rate risk on our interest-bearing assets and liabilities. Market risk includes changes in the value of our properties and related loans.

Derivative Financial Instruments

When we use derivative instruments, it is generally to reduce our exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. We have not entered into, and do not plan to enter into, financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. In addition to entering into derivative instruments on our own behalf, we may also be a party to derivative instruments that are embedded in other contracts, which are considered to be derivative instruments. The primary risks related to our use of derivative instruments include: (i) a counterparty to a hedging arrangement defaulting on its obligation and (ii) a downgrade in the credit quality of a counterparty to such an extent that our ability to sell or assign our side of the hedging transaction is impaired. While we seek to mitigate these risks by entering into hedging arrangements with large financial institutions that we deem to be creditworthy, it is possible that our hedging transactions, which are intended to limit losses, could adversely affect our earnings. Furthermore, if we terminate a hedging arrangement, we may be obligated to pay certain costs, such as transaction or breakage fees. We have established policies and procedures for risk assessment and the approval, reporting and monitoring of derivative financial instrument activities.

CWI 2 6/30/2019 10-Q – 15

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

We measure derivative instruments at fair value and record them as assets or liabilities, depending on our rights or obligations under the applicable derivative contract. Derivatives that are not designated as hedges must be adjusted to fair value through earnings. For a derivative designated, and that qualified as a cash flow hedge, the effective portion of the change in fair value of the derivative is recognized in Other comprehensive (loss) income until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. The ineffective portion of the change in fair value of any derivative is immediately recognized in earnings.

The following table sets forth certain information regarding our derivative instruments on our Consolidated Hotels (in thousands):



Derivatives Designated as Hedging Instruments		Asset Derivatives Fair Value at
Derivatives Designated as Hedging Instruments	Balance Sheet Location	June 30, 2019		December 31, 2018
Interest rate swap	Other assets	$	432	$	1,368
Interest rate caps	Other assets	4		57
		$	436	$	1,425

All derivative transactions with an individual counterparty are governed by a master International Swap and Derivatives Association agreement, which can be considered as a master netting arrangement; however, we report all our derivative instruments on a gross basis in our consolidated financial statements. At both June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, no cash collateral had been posted nor received for any of our derivative positions.

We recognized unrealized losses of $0.2 million and unrealized gains of $0.2 million in Other comprehensive (loss) income on derivatives in connection with our interest rate swap and caps during the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and unrealized losses of $0.4 million and unrealized gains of $1.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

We reclassified $0.3 million and $0.2 million from Other comprehensive (loss) income on derivatives into Interest expense during the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $0.6 million and $0.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, with the reclassifications resulting in a decrease to interest expense during both the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018.

Amounts reported in Other comprehensive (loss) income related to our interest rate swap and caps will be reclassified to Interest expense as interest expense or income is incurred on our variable-rate debt. At June 30, 2019, we estimated that $0.4 million will be reclassified as Interest income during the next 12 months related to our interest rate swap and caps.

Interest Rate Swap and Caps

We are exposed to the impact of interest rate changes primarily through our borrowing activities. To limit this exposure, we attempt to obtain mortgage financing on a long-term, fixed-rate basis. However, from time to time, we or our investment partners may obtain variable-rate non-recourse mortgage loans and, as a result, may enter into interest rate swap or cap agreements with counterparties. Interest rate swaps, which effectively convert the variable-rate debt service obligations of a loan to a fixed rate, are agreements in which one party exchanges a stream of interest payments for a counterparty’s stream of cash flow over a specific period. The notional, or face, amount on which the swaps are based is not exchanged. An interest rate cap limits the effective borrowing rate of variable-rate debt obligations while allowing participants to share in downward shifts in interest rates. Our objective in using these derivatives is to limit our exposure to interest rate movements.

The interest rate swap and caps that we had outstanding on our Consolidated Hotels at June 30, 2019 were designated as cash flow hedges and are summarized as follows (dollars in thousands):



	Number of	Notional		Fair Value at
Interest Rate Derivatives	Instruments	Amount		June 30, 2019
Interest rate swap	1	$	99,050	$	432
Interest rate caps	6	297,500		4

Credit Risk-Related Contingent Features

We measure our credit exposure on a counterparty basis as the net positive aggregate estimated fair value of our derivatives, net of any collateral received. No collateral was received as of June 30, 2019. At June 30, 2019, both our total credit exposure and the maximum exposure to any single counterparty was $0.5 million.

Some of the agreements we have with our derivative counterparties contain cross-default provisions that could trigger a declaration of default on our derivative obligations if we default, or are capable of being declared in default, on certain of our indebtedness. At June 30, 2019, we had not been declared in default on any of our derivative obligations. At both June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we had no derivatives that were in a net liability position.

Note 8. Debt

Our debt consists of mortgage notes payable, which are collateralized by the assignment of hotel properties. The following table presents the non-recourse debt, net on our Consolidated Hotel investments (dollars in thousands):

(a)	These mortgage loans have variable interest rates, which have effectively been capped or converted to fixed rates through the use of interest rate caps or swaps (Note 7). The interest rates presented for these mortgage loans reflect the rates in effect at June 30, 2019 through the use of an interest rate cap or swap, as applicable.


(b)	These mortgage loans have two one-year extension options, which are subject to certain conditions. The maturity dates in the table do not reflect the extension options.


(c)	On July 12, 2019, we exercised the first of our two one-year extension options, which extends the maturity date of the loan to July 12, 2020.


(d)	These mortgage loans have one-year extension options, which are subject to certain conditions. The maturity dates in the table do not reflect the extension option.

Covenants

Pursuant to our mortgage loan agreements, our consolidated subsidiaries are subject to various operational and financial covenants, including minimum debt service coverage and debt yield ratios. Most of our mortgage loan agreements contain “lock-box” provisions, which permit the lender to access or sweep a hotel’s excess cash flow and could be triggered by the lender under limited circumstances, including the failure to maintain minimum debt service coverage ratios. If a lender requires that we enter into a cash management agreement, we would generally be permitted to spend an amount equal to our budgeted hotel operating expenses, taxes, insurance and capital expenditure reserves for the relevant hotel. The lender would then hold all excess cash flow after the payment of debt service in an escrow account until certain performance hurdles are met. At June 30, 2019, we were in compliance with the applicable covenants for each of our mortgage loans.

Note 9. Commitments and Contingencies

At June 30, 2019, we were not involved in any material litigation. Various claims and lawsuits arising in the normal course of business are pending against us, including liens for which we may obtain a bond, provide collateral or provide an indemnity, but we do not expect the results of such proceedings to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Hotel Management Agreements

As of June 30, 2019, our Consolidated Hotel properties were operated pursuant to long-term management agreements with three different management companies, with initial terms ranging from five to 40 years. For hotels operated with separate franchise agreements, each management company receives a base management fee, generally ranging from 2.5% to 3.0% of hotel revenues. Six of our management agreements contain the right and license to operate the hotels under specified brands; no separate franchise agreements exist and no separate franchise fee is required for these hotels. The management agreements that include the benefit of a franchise agreement incur a base management fee generally ranging from 3.0% to 7.0% of hotel revenues. The management companies are generally also eligible to receive an incentive management fee, which is typically calculated as a percentage of operating profit, either (i) in excess of projections with a cap or (ii) after the owner has received a priority return on its investment in the hotel. We incurred management fee expense, including amortization of deferred management fees, of $3.3 million and $3.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $6.8 million and $6.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Franchise Agreements

Four of our Consolidated Hotels operate under franchise or license agreements with national brands that are separate from our management agreements. As of June 30, 2019, we had three franchise agreements with Marriott-owned brands and one with a Hilton-owned brand related to our Consolidated Hotels. Our typical franchise agreement provides for a term of 20 to 25 years. Generally, our franchise agreements provide for a license fee, or royalty, of 3.0% to 6.0% of room revenues and, if applicable, 3.0% of food and beverage revenue. In addition, we generally pay 1.0% to 4.0% of room revenues as marketing and reservation system contributions for the system-wide benefit of brand hotels. Franchise fees are included in sales and marketing expense in our consolidated financial statements. We incurred franchise fee expense, including amortization of deferred franchise fees, of $1.4 million and $1.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $2.8 million and $2.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Capital Expenditures and Reserve Funds

With respect to our hotels that are operated under management or franchise agreements with major international hotel brands and for most of our hotels subject to mortgage loans, we are obligated to maintain furniture, fixtures and equipment reserve accounts for future capital expenditures at these hotels, sufficient to cover the cost of routine improvements and alterations at the hotels. The amount funded into each of these reserve accounts is generally determined pursuant to the management agreements, franchise agreements and/or mortgage loan documents for each of the respective hotels and typically ranges between 3% and 5% of the respective hotel’s total gross revenue. At June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, $24.6 million and $20.4 million, respectively, was held in furniture, fixtures and equipment reserve accounts for future capital expenditures and is included in Restricted cash in the consolidated financial statements.

Renovation Commitments

Certain of our hotel franchise and loan agreements require us to make planned renovations to our hotels. Additionally, from time to time, certain of our hotels may undergo renovations as a result of our decision to upgrade portions of the hotels, such as guestrooms, public space, meeting space, and/or restaurants, in order to better compete with other hotels and alternative lodging options in our markets. At June 30, 2019, we had various contracts outstanding with third parties in connection with the renovation of certain of our hotels. The remaining commitments under these contracts at June 30, 2019 totaled $13.4 million. Funding for a renovation will first come from our furniture, fixtures and equipment reserve accounts, to the extent permitted by the terms of the management agreement. Should these reserves be unavailable or insufficient to cover the cost of the renovation, we will fund all or the remaining portion of the renovation with existing cash resources, proceeds available under our Working Capital Facility and/or other sources of available capital, including cash flow from operations.

Note 10. Income Per Share and Equity

Income Per Share

The following table presents income per share (in thousands, except share and per share amounts):

Net income attributable to CWI 2 stockholders		$	1,983				$	1,589

The allocation of net income attributable to CWI 2 stockholders is calculated based on the weighted-average shares outstanding for Class A common stock and Class T common stock for the period. The allocation for the Class A common stock excludes the accretion of interest on the annual distribution and shareholder servicing fee of $0.1 million and $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $0.2 million and $0.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, since this fee is only applicable to holders of Class T common stock.

CWI 2 6/30/2019 10-Q – 19

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

The distribution and shareholder servicing fee is 1.0% of the NAV of our Class T common stock; it accrues daily and is payable quarterly in arrears. We will no longer incur the distribution and shareholder servicing fee after July 31, 2023, although the fees may end sooner if the total underwriting compensation paid in respect of the offering reaches 10.0% of the gross offering proceeds or if we undertake a liquidity event, as described in our prospectus, before that date. We paid distribution and shareholder servicing fees to selected dealers of $1.4 million during both the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 and $2.8 million and $2.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Note 11. Income Taxes

We elected to be treated as a REIT and believe that we have been organized and have operated in such a manner to maintain our qualification as a REIT for federal and state income tax purposes. As a REIT, we are generally not subject to corporate level federal income taxes on earnings distributed to our stockholders. Since inception, we have distributed at least 100.0% of our taxable income annually and intend to do so for the tax year ending December 31, 2019. Accordingly, we have not included any provisions for federal income taxes related to the REIT in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018. We conduct business in various states and municipalities within the United States, and, as a result, we or one or more of our subsidiaries file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state jurisdictions. As a result, we are subject to certain state and local taxes and a provision for such taxes is included in the consolidated financial statements.

Certain of our subsidiaries have elected taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”) status. A TRS may provide certain services considered impermissible for REITs and may hold assets that REITs may not hold directly. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include an interim tax provision for our TRSs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018. Current income tax expense was $1.1 million and $1.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $2.2 million and $2.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Our TRSs are subject to U.S. federal and state income taxes. As such, deferred tax assets and liabilities are established for temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of assets and liabilities at the enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when the temporary differences reverse. A valuation allowance for deferred tax assets is provided if we believe that it is more likely than not that we will not realize the tax benefit of deferred tax assets based on available evidence at the time the determination is made. A change in circumstances may cause us to change our judgment about whether a deferred tax asset will more likely than not be realized. We generally report any change in the valuation allowance through our income statement in the period in which such changes in circumstances occur. As of December 31, 2018, one of our TRSs had a valuation allowance of $2.3 million against its net deferred tax asset balance. At March 31, 2019 due to, in part, the TRS achieving three years of cumulative pre-tax income during the current year period, we determined there was sufficient positive evidence to conclude that it is more likely than not that the deferred taxes of $2.3 million are realizable. We therefore reduced the valuation allowance accordingly during the first quarter of 2019. The majority of our deferred tax assets relate to net operating losses, accrued expenses and deferred key money liabilities. (Provision for) benefit from income taxes included net deferred income tax expense of $0.2 million and deferred income tax benefit of $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and net deferred income tax benefits of $2.2 million and $0.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is intended to provide the reader with information that will assist in understanding our financial statements and the reasons for changes in certain key components of our financial statements from period to period. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations also provides the reader with our perspective on our financial position and liquidity, as well as certain other factors that may affect our future results. Our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with the 2018 Annual Report and subsequent reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

Business Overview

As described in more detail in Item 1 of the 2018 Annual Report, we are a publicly-owned, non-traded REIT that invests in, and through our Advisor, manages and seeks to enhance the value of interests in lodging and lodging-related properties. We have fully invested our offering proceeds in a diversified lodging portfolio, including full-service, select-service and resort hotels. Our results of operations are significantly impacted by seasonality and by hotel renovations. We have invested in hotels and then initiated significant renovations at certain hotels. Generally, during the renovation period, a portion of total rooms are unavailable and hotel operations are often disrupted, negatively impacting our results of operations. At June 30, 2019, we held ownership interests in 12 hotels, with a total of 4,422 rooms.

Our board of directors has begun a process of evaluating strategic alternatives, including a combination with CWI 1. During the quarter ended December 31, 2018, our board formed a special committee of independent directors to undertake the evaluation and the special committee has since engaged legal and financial advisors. There can be no assurance as to the form or timing of any transaction or that a transaction will be pursued at all. We do not intend to discuss the evaluation process unless and until our board completes its evaluation, except as required by law.

Results of Operations

We evaluate our results of operations with a primary focus on our ability to generate cash flow necessary to meet our objectives of funding distributions to stockholders and increasing the value in our real estate investments. As a result, our assessment of operating results gives less emphasis to the effect of unrealized gains and losses, which may cause fluctuations in net income for comparable periods but have no impact on cash flows, and to other non-cash charges, such as depreciation.

In addition, we use other information that may not be financial in nature, including statistical information, to evaluate the operating performance of our business, including occupancy rate, ADR and RevPAR. Occupancy rate, ADR and RevPAR are commonly used measures within the hotel industry to evaluate operating performance. RevPAR, which is calculated as the product of ADR and occupancy rate, is an important statistic for monitoring operating performance at our hotels. Our occupancy rate, ADR and RevPAR performance may be impacted by macroeconomic factors such as U.S. economic conditions, regional and local employment growth, personal income and corporate earnings, business relocation decisions, business and leisure travel, new hotel construction and the pricing strategies of competitors.

The comparability of our results year over year are impacted by, among other factors, the timing of any acquisitions, dispositions and/or any renovation-related activities.

Hotel Revenues

For the three months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to the same period in 2018, hotel revenues decreased by $3.0 million primarily due to a decrease in revenue from Seattle Marriott Bellevue caused by water damage sustained by the hotel in April 2019 that resulted in approximately 25% of rooms out of service for a majority of the quarter, as well as a decrease in revenue from San Jose Marriott driven primarily by a decrease in group bookings.

CWI 2 6/30/2019 10-Q – 25

For the six months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to the same period in 2018, hotel revenues increased by $1.8 million primarily due to increases in revenue from the Ritz-Carlton San Francisco, Renaissance Atlanta Midtown Hotel, Charlotte Marriott City Center and Embassy Suites by Hilton Denver-Downtown/Convention Center, partially offset by decreases in revenue from Seattle Marriott Bellevue and San Jose Marriott, as discussed above. The increase in revenue from the Ritz-Carlton San Francisco was primarily the result of an increase in group bookings driven by the re-opening of the Moscone Center in the fourth quarter of 2018, while the Renaissance Atlanta Midtown Hotel benefited from Super Bowl LIII in February 2019. The increases in revenue from the Charlotte Marriott City Center and Embassy Suites by Hilton Denver-Downtown/Convention Center were driven primarily by increases in transient business guests and in group bookings, respectively.

Hotel Operating Expenses

Room expense, food and beverage expense and other operating department costs fluctuate based on various factors, including occupancy, labor costs, utilities and insurance costs.

For the three months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to the same period in 2018, aggregate hotel operating expenses remained flat, increasing by less than $0.1 million.

For the six months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to the same period in 2018, aggregate hotel operating expenses increased by $2.1 million, primarily due to an increase in expenses contributed by the Ritz-Carlton San Francisco, Renaissance Atlanta Midtown Hotel, Charlotte Marriott City Center and Embassy Suites by Hilton Denver-Downtown/Convention Center, partially offset by a decrease in expenses contributed by Seattle Marriott Bellevue, consistent with the fluctuations in revenue discussed above.

Corporate General and Administrative Expenses

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to the same periods in 2018, corporate general and administrative expenses increased by $0.2 million and $0.5 million, respectively, primarily due to an increase in professional fees. Professional fees include legal, accounting and investor-related expenses incurred in the normal course of business. The increase in professional fees for both periods was driven by an increase in legal fees.

Loss (Gain) on Hurricane-Related Property Damage

During the three months ended June 30, 2018, we recognized a loss on hurricane-related property damage of $0.9 million, comprised of a $0.2 million loss resulting from a change in our estimate of the total damage incurred at the property and a $0.7 million loss resulting from pre-existing damage (which was discovered as a result of the hurricane and is not covered by insurance). No gain or loss on hurricane-related property damage was recognized during the three months ended June 30, 2019.

During the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, we recognized a gain on hurricane-related property damage of less than $0.1 million and a loss on hurricane-related property damage of $0.6 million, respectively, from the Marriott Sawgrass Golf Resort & Spa. The loss on hurricane-related property damage for the six months ended June 30, 2018 was comprised of a $1.3 million loss resulting from pre-existing damage, partially offset by a $0.7 million gain resulting from a change in our estimate of the total damage incurred at the property.

We and CWI 1 maintain insurance on all of our hotels, with an aggregate policy limit of $500.0 million for both property damage and business interruption. Our insurance policies are subject to various terms and conditions, including property damage and business interruption deductibles on each hotel, which range from 2.0% to 5.0% of the insured value. We currently estimate our aggregate casualty insurance claim for our Consolidated Hotels related to Hurricane Irma to be in the range of $5.0 million to $10.0 million, which includes estimated clean up, repair and rebuilding costs, and estimate our aggregate business interruption insurance claim to be approximately $1.0 million. We currently estimate the collective casualty insurance claim for us and CWI 1 combined to be in the range of $65.0 million to $80.0 million and the collective business interruption insurance claim to be in the range of $25.0 million to $35.0 million. As the restoration work continues to be performed, the estimated total costs will change. We believe that we maintain adequate insurance coverage on our hotels and are working closely with the insurance carriers and claims adjuster to obtain the maximum amount of insurance recovery provided under the policies. However, we can give no assurances as to the amounts of such claims, the timing of payments or the ultimate resolution of the claims.

CWI 2 6/30/2019 10-Q – 26

We experienced a reduction in revenues as a result of Hurricane Irma. Our business interruption insurance covers lost revenue through the period of property restoration and for up to 12 months after the hotels are back to full operations. We have retained consultants to assess our business interruption claims and are currently reviewing our losses with our insurance carriers. We have not recorded revenue for covered business interruption during either the six months ended June 30, 2019 or 2018 related to Hurricane Irma. We record revenue for covered business interruption when both the recovery is probable and contingencies have been resolved with the insurance carriers.

Equity in Losses of Equity Method Investments in Real Estate, Net

Equity in losses of equity method investments in real estate, net represents losses from our equity investments in Unconsolidated Hotels recognized in accordance with each investment agreement and based upon the allocation of the investment’s net assets at book value as if the investment were hypothetically liquidated at the end of each reporting period (Note 5). We are required to periodically compare an investment’s carrying value to its estimated fair value and recognize an impairment charge to the extent that the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value and is determined to be other than temporary. No other-than-temporary impairment charges were recognized on our equity method investments in real estate during the six months ended June 30, 2019 or 2018.

The following table sets forth our share of equity in (losses) earnings from our Unconsolidated Hotels, which are based on the HLBV model, as well as certain amortization adjustments related to basis differentials from acquisitions of investments (in thousands):

(Provision for) Benefit from Income Taxes

For the six months ended June 30, 2019, we recognized a benefit from income taxes of $0.1 million as compared to a provision for income taxes of $1.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The change was largely driven by the release of a $2.3 million valuation allowance for deferred tax assets during the first quarter of 2019 related to Marriott Sawgrass Golf Resort & Spa.

Modified Funds from Operations

MFFO is a non-GAAP measure that we use to evaluate our business. For a definition of MFFO and a reconciliation to net income attributable to CWI 2 stockholders, see Supplemental Financial Measures below.

For the three months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to the same period in 2018, MFFO decreased by $1.5 million primarily as a result of a decrease in income from hotel operations, driven by the Seattle Marriott Bellevue and San Jose Marriott, as well as an increase to the Available Cash Distribution.

For the six months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to the same period in 2018, MFFO increased by $1.1 million primarily as a result of an increase in income from hotel operations, driven by the Ritz-Carlton San Francisco and the Renaissance Atlanta Midtown Hotel, partially offset by an increase in asset management fees, corporate general and administrative expenses and interest expense, as well as an increase to the Available Cash Distribution.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our principal demands for funds will be for the payment of operating expenses, interest and principal on current and future indebtedness and distributions to stockholders. Liquidity is affected adversely by unanticipated costs and greater-than-anticipated operating expenses. We expect to meet our long-term liquidity requirements from cash generated from operations. To the extent that these funds are insufficient to satisfy our cash flow requirements, additional funds may be provided from asset sales, long- and/or short-term borrowings, and proceeds from mortgage financings or refinancings.

Sources and Uses of Cash During the Period

We have fully invested the proceeds from our initial public offering. We use the cash flow generated from hotel operations to meet our normal recurring operating expenses, service debt and fund distributions to our shareholders. Our cash flows fluctuate from period to period due to a number of factors, including the financial and operating performance of our hotels, the timing of purchases or dispositions of hotels, the timing and characterization of distributions from equity method investments in hotels and seasonality in the demand for our hotels. Also, hotels we invest in may undergo renovations, during which they may experience disruptions, possibly resulting in reduced revenue and operating income. Despite these fluctuations, we believe that we will continue to generate sufficient cash from operations and from our equity method investments to meet our normal recurring short-term and long-term liquidity needs. We may also use existing cash resources, proceeds available under our Working Capital Facility, through its expiration, which as amended, is currently expected to occur on December 31, 2019 (Note 3), the proceeds of mortgage loans, sales of assets, or distributions reinvested in our common stock through our DRIP. We assess our ability to access capital on an ongoing basis. Our sources and uses of cash during the period are described below.

Operating Activities — For the six months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to the same period in 2018, net cash provided by operating activities increased by $1.1 million. Net cash provided by operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2019 reflected the receipt of $0.9 million of business interruption proceeds.

Investing Activities — During the six months ended June 30, 2019, net cash used in investing activities was $10.3 million as a result of funding $5.1 million of capital expenditures for our Consolidated Hotels and capital contributions of $5.1 million to the Ritz-Carlton Bacara, Santa Barbara Venture, which was used, in part, to fund a renovation at the hotel.

Financing Activities — Net cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was $26.3 million as a result of cash distributions paid to stockholders of $22.5 million, redemptions of our common stock pursuant to our redemption plan totaling $7.2 million, as described below, distributions to noncontrolling interests totaling $4.9 million and scheduled payments of mortgage financing totaling $1.8 million, partially offset by the reinvestment of distributions in shares of our common stock through our DRIP, net of distribution and shareholder servicing fee payments, totaling $10.3 million.

CWI 2 6/30/2019 10-Q – 28

Distributions

Our current objectives are to generate sufficient cash flow over time to provide stockholders with distributions and to manage a portfolio of investments with potential for capital appreciation throughout varying economic cycles. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, we paid distributions to stockholders, excluding distributions paid in shares of our common stock, totaling $22.5 million, which were comprised of cash distributions of $9.4 million and distributions that were reinvested in shares of our common stock by stockholders through our DRIP of $13.1 million. From Inception through June 30, 2019, we declared distributions, excluding distributions paid in shares of our common stock, to stockholders totaling $132.6 million, which were comprised of cash distributions of $52.0 million and distributions that were reinvested by stockholders in shares of our common stock pursuant to our DRIP of $80.6 million.

We believe that FFO, a non-GAAP measure, is an appropriate metric to evaluate our ability to fund distributions to stockholders. For a discussion of FFO, see Supplemental Financial Measures below. Over the life of our company, the regular quarterly cash distributions we pay are expected to be principally sourced from our FFO or our Cash flow from operations. However, we have funded a portion of our cash distributions to date using net proceeds from our public offering and there can be no assurance that our FFO or our Cash flow from operations will be sufficient to cover our future distributions. We fully covered total distributions declared for the six months ended June 30, 2019 using FFO and funded all of these distributions from Net cash provided by operating activities. We expect that, in the future, if distributions cannot be fully sourced from net cash provided by operating activities, they may be sourced from other sources of cash, such as financings, borrowings, or the sales of assets.

Redemptions

We maintain a quarterly redemption program pursuant to which we may, at the discretion of our board of directors, redeem shares of our common stock from stockholders seeking liquidity. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, we redeemed 204,849 shares of our Class A common stock (representing 54 requests), at an average share price of $10.84, and 461,458 shares of our Class T common stock (representing 98 requests), at an average share price of $10.84. As of the date of this Report, we have fulfilled all of the valid redemption requests that we received during the six months ended June 30, 2019. We funded all share redemptions during the six months ended June 30, 2019 from distributions that were reinvested by stockholders in our common stock pursuant to our DRIP.

Covenants

Cash Resources

At June 30, 2019, our cash resources consisted of cash and cash equivalents totaling $73.2 million, of which $13.3 million was designated as hotel operating cash. We also had the $25.0 million Working Capital Facility, all of which remained available to be drawn as of the date of this Report. Our cash resources can be used for working capital needs, debt service and other commitments, such as renovation commitments as noted below, as well as to fund future investments.

Cash Requirements

During the next 12 months, we expect that our cash requirements will include paying distributions to our stockholders, reimbursing our Advisor for costs incurred on our behalf, fulfilling our renovation commitments (Note 9), funding hurricane-related repair and remediation costs in excess of insurance proceeds received, funding lease commitments, making scheduled mortgage loan principal payments, including scheduled balloon payments of $298.4 million on four mortgage loans, as well as other normal recurring operating expenses. We currently intend to refinance the scheduled balloon payments, although there can be no assurance that we will be able to do so on favorable terms, if at all.

We expect to use cash generated from operations and mortgage financing to fund these cash requirements, in addition to amounts held in escrow to fund our renovation commitments. We may also use the Working Capital Facility through its expiration, which is currently scheduled to occur on December 31, 2019.

Capital Expenditures and Reserve Funds

With respect to our hotels that are operated under management or franchise agreements with major international hotel brands and for most of our hotels subject to mortgage loans, we are obligated to maintain furniture, fixtures and equipment reserve accounts for future capital expenditures at these hotels, sufficient to cover the cost of routine improvements and alterations at the hotels. The amount funded into each of these reserve accounts is generally determined pursuant to the management agreements, franchise agreements and/or mortgage loan documents for each of the respective hotels and typically ranges between 3.0% and 5.0% of the respective hotel’s total gross revenue. At June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, $24.6 million and $20.4 million, respectively, was held in furniture, fixtures and equipment reserve accounts for future capital expenditures.

Supplemental Financial Measures

In the real estate industry, analysts and investors employ certain non-GAAP supplemental financial measures in order to facilitate meaningful comparisons between periods and among peer companies. Additionally, in the formulation of our goals and in the evaluation of the effectiveness of our strategies, we use FFO and MFFO, which are non-GAAP measures defined by our management. We believe that these measures are useful to investors to consider because they may assist them to better understand and measure the performance of our business over time and against similar companies. A description of FFO and MFFO, and reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures, are provided below.

FFO and MFFO

Due to certain unique operating characteristics of real estate companies, as discussed below, the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”), an industry trade group, has promulgated a non-GAAP measure known as FFO, which we believe to be an appropriate supplemental measure, when used in addition to and in conjunction with results presented in accordance with GAAP, to reflect the operating performance of a REIT. The use of FFO is recommended by the REIT industry as a supplemental non-GAAP measure. FFO is not equivalent to nor a substitute for net income or loss as determined under GAAP.

We define FFO, a non-GAAP measure, consistent with the standards established by the White Paper on FFO approved by the Board of Governors of NAREIT, as restated in December 2018. The White Paper defines FFO as net income or loss computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains or losses from sales of property, impairment charges on real estate, and depreciation and amortization from real estate assets; and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and jointly-owned investments. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and jointly-owned investments are calculated to reflect FFO. Our FFO calculation complies with NAREIT’s policy described above. However, NAREIT’s definition of FFO does not distinguish between the conventional method of equity accounting and the HLBV method of accounting for unconsolidated partnerships and jointly-owned investments.

The historical accounting convention used for real estate assets requires straight-line depreciation of buildings and improvements, which implies that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time, especially if such assets are not adequately maintained or repaired and renovated as required by relevant circumstances in order to maintain the value disclosed. We believe that, since real estate values historically rise and fall with market conditions, including inflation, interest rates, the business cycle, unemployment and consumer spending, presentations of operating results for a REIT using historical accounting for depreciation may be less informative. Historical accounting for real estate involves the use of GAAP. Any other method of accounting for real estate such as the fair value method cannot be construed to be any more accurate or relevant than the comparable methodologies of real estate valuation found in GAAP. Nevertheless, we believe that the use of FFO, which

CWI 2 6/30/2019 10-Q – 31

excludes the impact of real estate-related depreciation and amortization, as well as impairment charges of real estate-related assets, provides a more complete understanding of our performance to investors and to management; and when compared year over year, reflects the impact on our operations from trends in occupancy rates, operating costs, general and administrative expenses, and interest costs, which may not be immediately apparent from net income. In particular, we believe it is appropriate to disregard impairment charges, as this is a fair value adjustment that is largely based on market fluctuations and assessments regarding general market conditions, which can change over time. An asset will only be evaluated for impairment if certain impairment indicators exist. For real estate assets held for investment and related intangible assets in which an impairment indicator is identified, we follow a two-step process to determine whether an asset is impaired and to determine the amount of the charge. First, we compare the carrying value of the property’s asset group to the estimated future net undiscounted cash flow that we expect the property’s asset group will generate, including any estimated proceeds from the eventual sale of the property’s asset group. It should be noted, however, that the property’s asset group’s estimated fair value is primarily determined using market information from outside sources such as broker quotes or recent comparable sales. In cases where the available market information is not deemed appropriate, we perform a future net cash flow analysis discounted for inherent risk associated with each asset to determine an estimated fair value. While impairment charges are excluded from the calculation of FFO described above due to the fact that impairments are based on estimated future undiscounted cash flows, it could be difficult to recover any impairment charges. However, FFO and MFFO, as described below, should not be construed to be more relevant or accurate than the current GAAP methodology in calculating net income or in its applicability in evaluating the operating performance of the company. The method utilized to evaluate the value and performance of real estate under GAAP should be construed as a more relevant measure of operational performance and considered more prominently than the non-GAAP measures FFO and MFFO and the adjustments to GAAP in calculating FFO and MFFO.

Changes in the accounting and reporting promulgations under GAAP (for acquisition fees and expenses from a capitalization/depreciation model to an expensed-as-incurred model) were put into effect subsequent to the establishment of NAREIT’s definition of FFO. Management believes these cash-settled expenses, such as acquisition fees that are typically accounted for as operating expenses, do not affect our overall long-term operating performance. Publicly-registered, non-traded REITs typically have a significant amount of acquisition activity and are substantially more dynamic during their initial years of investment and operation. While other start-up entities may also experience significant acquisition activity during their initial years, we believe that non-traded REITs are unique in that they have a limited life with targeted exit strategies within a relatively limited time frame after acquisition activity ceases. We intend to begin the process of achieving a liquidity event (i.e., listing of our common stock on a national exchange, a merger or sale of our assets or another similar transaction) not later than six years following the conclusion of our initial public offering, which occurred in July 2017. Thus, we intend to have a limited life. Due to the above factors and other unique features of publicly registered, non-traded REITs, the Institute for Portfolio Alternatives (formerly known as the Investment Program Association) (“IPA”), an industry trade group, has standardized a measure known as MFFO, which the IPA has recommended as a supplemental measure for publicly registered non-traded REITs and which we believe to be another appropriate non-GAAP measure to reflect the operating performance of a non-traded REIT having the characteristics described above. MFFO is not equivalent to our net income or loss as determined under GAAP, and MFFO may not be a useful measure of the impact of long-term operating performance on value if we do not continue to operate with a limited life and targeted exit strategy, as currently intended. We believe that, because MFFO excludes costs that we consider more reflective of investing activities and other non-operating items included in FFO and also excludes acquisition fees and expenses that affect our operations only in periods in which properties are acquired, MFFO can provide, on a going forward basis, an indication of the sustainability (that is, the capacity to continue to be maintained) of our operating performance after the period in which we are acquiring properties and once our portfolio is in place. By providing MFFO, we believe we are presenting useful information that assists investors and analysts to better assess the sustainability of our operating performance now that our offering has been completed and once essentially all of our properties have been acquired. We also believe that MFFO is a recognized measure of sustainable operating performance by the non-traded REIT industry. Further, we believe MFFO is useful in comparing the sustainability of our operating performance, with the sustainability of the operating performance of other real estate companies that are not as involved in acquisition activities. MFFO should only be used to assess the sustainability of a company’s operating performance after a company’s offering has been completed and properties have been acquired, as it excludes acquisition costs that have a negative effect on a company’s operating performance during the periods in which properties are acquired.

We define MFFO consistent with the IPA’s Practice Guideline 2010-01, Supplemental Performance Measure for Publicly Registered, Non-Listed REITs: Modified Funds from Operations (the “Practice Guideline”), issued by the IPA in November 2010. This Practice Guideline defines MFFO as FFO further adjusted for the following items, included in the determination of GAAP net income, as applicable: acquisition fees and expenses; accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums on debt investments; where applicable, payments of loan principal made by our equity investees accounted for under the HLBV model where such payments reduce our equity in earnings of equity method investments in real estate, nonrecurring impairments of real estate-related investments (i.e., infrequent or unusual, not reasonably likely to recur in the ordinary course of business);

CWI 2 6/30/2019 10-Q – 32

mark-to-market adjustments included in net income; nonrecurring gains or losses included in net income from the extinguishment or sale of debt, hedges, derivatives or securities holdings, where trading of such holdings is not a fundamental attribute of the business plan, unrealized gains or losses resulting from consolidation from, or deconsolidation to, equity accounting, and after adjustments for Consolidated and Unconsolidated Hotels, with such adjustments calculated to reflect MFFO on the same basis. The accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums on debt investments, unrealized gains and losses on hedges, derivatives or securities holdings, unrealized gains and losses resulting from consolidations, as well as other listed cash flow adjustments are adjustments made to net income in calculating the cash flows provided by operating activities and, in some cases, reflect gains or losses that are unrealized and may not ultimately be realized.

Our MFFO calculation complies with the IPA’s Practice Guideline described above. In calculating MFFO, we exclude acquisition-related expenses, fair value adjustments of derivative financial instruments and the adjustments of such items related to noncontrolling interests. Under GAAP, acquisition fees and expenses are characterized as operating expenses in determining operating net income. These expenses are paid in cash by a company. All paid and accrued acquisition fees and expenses will have negative effects on returns to investors, the potential for future distributions, and cash flows generated by the company, unless earnings from operations or net sales proceeds from the disposition of other properties are generated to cover the purchase price of the property, these fees and expenses and other costs related to such property. Further, under GAAP, certain contemplated non-cash fair value and other non-cash adjustments are considered operating non-cash adjustments to net income in determining cash flow from operating activities. We account for certain of our equity investments using the HLBV model which is based on distributable cash as defined in the operating agreement.

Our management uses MFFO and the adjustments used to calculate it in order to evaluate our performance against other non-traded REITs, which have limited lives with short and defined acquisition periods and targeted exit strategies shortly thereafter. As noted above, MFFO may not be a useful measure of the impact of long-term operating performance on value if we do not continue to operate in this manner. We believe that MFFO and the adjustments used to calculate it allow us to present our performance in a manner that takes into account certain characteristics unique to non-traded REITs, such as their limited life, defined acquisition period and targeted exit strategy, and is therefore a useful measure for investors. For example, acquisition costs are generally funded from the proceeds of our offering and other financing sources and not from operations. By excluding expensed acquisition costs, the use of MFFO provides information consistent with management’s analysis of the operating performance of the properties. Additionally, fair value adjustments, which are based on the impact of current market fluctuations and underlying assessments of general market conditions, but can also result from operational factors such as occupancy rates, may not be directly related or attributable to our current operating performance. By excluding such changes that may reflect anticipated and unrealized gains or losses, we believe MFFO provides useful supplemental information.

Presentation of this information is intended to provide useful information to investors as they compare the operating performance of different REITs, although it should be noted that not all REITs calculate FFO and MFFO the same way, so comparisons with other REITs may not be meaningful. Furthermore, FFO and MFFO are not necessarily indicative of cash flow available to fund cash needs and should not be considered as an alternative to net income as an indication of our performance, as an alternative to cash flows from operations as an indication of our liquidity, or indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs including our ability to make distributions to our stockholders. FFO and MFFO should be reviewed in conjunction with other GAAP measurements as an indication of our performance.

Neither the SEC, NAREIT nor any other regulatory body has passed judgment on the acceptability of the adjustments that we use to calculate FFO or MFFO. In the future, the SEC, NAREIT or another regulatory body may decide to standardize the allowable adjustments across the non-traded REIT industry and we would have to adjust our calculation and characterization of FFO and MFFO accordingly.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Market Risk

We currently have limited exposure to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates. We currently have no foreign operations and are not exposed to foreign currency fluctuations.

Interest Rate Risk

The values of our real estate and related fixed-rate debt obligations are subject to fluctuations based on changes in interest rates. The value of our real estate is also subject to fluctuations based on local and regional economic conditions, which may affect our ability to refinance property-level mortgage debt when balloon payments are scheduled, if we do not choose to repay the debt when due. Interest rates are highly sensitive to many factors, including governmental monetary and tax policies, domestic and international economic and political conditions, and other factors beyond our control. An increase in interest rates would likely cause the fair value of our assets to decrease.

We are exposed to the impact of interest rate changes primarily through our borrowing activities. To limit this exposure, we generally seek non-recourse mortgage financing on a long-term, fixed-rate basis. However, from time to time, we or our joint investment partners have obtained, and may in the future obtain, variable-rate non-recourse mortgage loans, and, as a result, we have entered into, and may continue to enter into, interest rate swap agreements or interest rate cap agreements with counterparties. See Note 7 for additional information on our interest rate swaps and caps.

At June 30, 2019, all of our long-term debt bore interest at fixed rates or was subject to an interest rate cap or swap. Our debt obligations are more fully described in Note 8 and Summary of Financing in Item 2 above. The following table presents principal cash outflows for our Consolidated Hotels based upon expected maturity dates of our debt obligations outstanding at June 30, 2019 and excludes deferred financing costs (in thousands):



	2019 (Remainder)		2020		2021		2022		2023		Total		Fair Value
Fixed-rate debt	$	1,743	$	4,321	$	4,498	$	395,710	$	79,740	$	486,012	$	484,337
Variable-rate debt	$	167,315	$	132,735	$	49,000	$	—	$	—	$	349,050	$	349,050

The estimated fair value of our fixed-rate debt and our variable-rate debt that currently bears interest at fixed rates or has effectively been converted to a fixed rate through the use of an interest rate swap, or that has been subject to an interest rate cap, is affected by changes in interest rates. A decrease or increase in interest rates of 1.0% would change the estimated fair value of this debt at June 30, 2019 by an aggregate increase of $14.6 million or an aggregate decrease of $16.6 million, respectively. Annual interest expense on our variable-rate debt that is subject to an interest rate cap at June 30, 2019 would increase or decrease by $1.8 million for each respective 1.0% change in annual interest rates.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our disclosure controls and procedures include internal controls and other procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in this and other reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the required time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms; and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. It should be noted that no system of controls can provide complete assurance of achieving a company’s objectives and that future events may impact the effectiveness of a system of controls.

Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, after conducting an evaluation, together with members of our management, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2019, have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were effective as of June 30, 2019 at a reasonable level of assurance.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

During the three months ended June 30, 2019, we issued 239,649 shares of Class A common stock to our Advisor as consideration for asset management fees. These shares were issued at our most recently published NAV of $11.41 per share. In acquiring our shares, our Advisor represented that such interests were being acquired by it for investment purposes and not with a view to the distribution thereof. In addition, during the three months ended June 30, 2019, we issued 15,776 shares of Class A common stock to our directors and, under our 2015 Equity Incentive Plan, we issued 19,352 shares of our Class A common stock to certain employees of the Subadvisor. Since none of these transactions were considered to have involved a “public offering” within the meaning of Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, the shares issued were deemed to be exempt from registration.

All prior sales of unregistered securities have been reported in our previously filed quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and annual reports on Form 10-K.

(a)

Represents shares of our common stock repurchased under our redemption plan, pursuant to which we may elect to redeem shares at the request of our stockholders, subject to certain exceptions, conditions and limitations. The maximum number of shares purchasable by us in any period depends on a number of factors and is at the discretion of our board of directors. We generally receive fees in connection with share redemptions. The average price paid per share will vary depending on the number of redemption requests that were made during the period, the number of redemption requests that qualify for treatment as special circumstances under the terms of the plan, and the most recently published NAV.
