First Quarter Operating Income of $14.1 Million; AFFO of $25.5 Million or $0.21 per Share
Increased 2026 Outlook as Sequential RevPAR Improvement Results in Positive First Quarter RevPAR Growth
Accretive Capital Recycling Continues with Agreement to Sell the Courtyard and Residence Inn Dallas (Arlington South)
AUSTIN, Texas, April 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Summit Hotel Properties, Inc. (NYSE: INN) (the "Company"), today announced results for the three months ended March 31, 2026.
"Operating fundamentals improved meaningfully in the first quarter as positive RevPAR growth in the quarter exceeded our expectations by over 200 basis points. Encouragingly, we experienced sequential improvements in demand within the quarter culminating with March RevPAR growth of over 4%. These positive trends have continued into the second quarter as rate-driven revenue growth has been broad based across markets and segments of our portfolio. Our outlook for the remainder of the year is increasingly positive as we approach what is expected to be a robust summer of travel demand, highlighted by a record setting special events calendar and current operating trends that support an increase to our full year 2026 guidance ranges," said Jonathan Stanner, President and Chief Executive Officer.
"We also continue to successfully allocate capital as we entered into an agreement to sell two wholly-owned assets for $19 million at an implied capitalization rate of 5.0 percent, inclusive of foregone capital investment needs, and repurchased an additional 1.4 million shares during the quarter. Since the inception of our share repurchase program, we have repurchased approximately 5 million shares (approximately 4% of total share outstanding) at an average price of $4.26 per share. Our balance sheet remains well positioned with ample liquidity and no debt maturities until 2028," continued Mr. Stanner.

Transaction Activity
In April 2026, we entered into a purchase and sale agreement to sell the wholly-owned 103-guestroom Courtyard by Marriott, Dallas (Arlington South), TX and the 96-guestroom Residence Inn, Dallas (Arlington South), TX for a combined selling price of $19.0 million. The sales price for the transaction represents a 5.0 percent capitalization rate based on the net operating income for the trailing twelve months ended March 31, 2026, and after consideration of foregone near-term required capital expenditures. The transaction is expected to close in the third quarter of 2026.
In February 2026, the Company completed the sale of the 122-guestroom Hilton Garden Inn Longview, Texas, which was owned by the Company's joint venture with GIC, for $12.3 million. The sales price for the transaction represented a 6.8 percent capitalization rate based on the net operating income for the trailing twelve months ended January 31, 2026, and after consideration of foregone near-term required capital expenditures.
Since 2023, the Company and its affiliates have sold, or are under contract to sell, 15 hotels for a combined sales price of approximately $218 million at a blended capitalization rate of approximately 4.6 percent, inclusive of an estimated $68 million of foregone capital needs, based on the trailing twelve-month net operating income at the time of each sale. The combined RevPAR for the sold hotels was $86, which is an approximate 30 percent discount to the current pro forma portfolio.
Capital Markets Activity
Repayment of Convertible Notes
On February 17, 2026, the Company fully repaid its $287.5 million 1.5% Convertible Notes utilizing its $275.0 million Delayed Draw Term Loan and Corporate Revolver.
Stock Repurchases
During the first quarter, the Company repurchased 1.4 million common shares under its share repurchase program for an aggregate purchase price of $6.0 million, or a weighted average price of approximately $4.17 per share. As of March 31, 2026, approximately $28.6 million remained available for repurchase under this program.
Since the inception of our share repurchase program in 2025, we have repurchased approximately 5.0 million shares (approximately 4% of total share outstanding) at an average price of $4.26 per share.
Balance Sheet Summary
On a pro rata basis as of March 31, 2026, the Company had the following outstanding indebtedness:
- Outstanding debt of $1.1 billion with a weighted average interest rate of 5.53 percent. After giving effect to interest rate derivative agreements, $539.2 million, or 50 percent, of our outstanding debt had a fixed interest rate, and $545.0 million, or 50 percent, had a variable interest rate.
- Unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $34.8 million.
Common and Preferred Dividend Declaration
On April 23, 2026, the Company declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.08 per share on its common stock and per common unit of limited partnership interest in Summit Hotel OP, LP. The quarterly dividend of $0.08 per share represents an annualized dividend yield of 6.4 percent, based on the closing price of shares of the common stock on April 29, 2026.
In addition, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of:
- $0.390625 per share on its 6.25% Series E Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock
- $0.3671875 per share on its 5.875% Series F Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock
- $0.328125 per unit on its 5.25% Series Z Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Units
The dividends are payable on May 29, 2026, to holders of record as of May 15, 2026.
2026 Outlook
The Company's updated outlook for the full year 2026 is based on the 94 lodging assets owned as of March 31, 2026, including the Courtyard by Marriott and Residence Inn Dallas (Arlington South) for which we have entered into an agreement to sell the two hotels. The sale is expected to close in the third quarter and will result in approximately $500,000 of foregone Hotel EBITDA from the closing date through the end of the year, which is not reflected in the updated guidance ranges. Based on first quarter actual results and recent operating trends, the Company is increasing the low end and implied midpoint of its guidance ranges. There are no additional acquisitions, dispositions, share repurchases, or capital markets activities assumed in the Company's full year 2026 outlook.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We disclose certain "non-GAAP financial measures," which are measures of our historical financial performance. Non-GAAP financial measures are financial measures not prescribed by Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"). These measures are as follows: (i) Funds From Operations ("FFO") and Adjusted Funds from Operations ("AFFO"), (ii) Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization ("EBITDA"), Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization for Real Estate ("EBITDAre"), Adjusted EBITDAre, and hotel EBITDA (as described below). We caution investors that amounts presented in accordance with our definitions of non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by other companies, since not all companies calculate these non-GAAP financial measures in the same manner. Our non-GAAP financial measures should be considered along with, but not as alternatives to, net income (loss) as a measure of our operating performance. Our non-GAAP financial measures 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 our non-GAAP financial measures 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 measure prescribed by GAAP such as net income (loss).
Funds From Operations ("FFO") and Adjusted FFO ("AFFO")
As defined by Nareit, FFO represents net income or loss (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding preferred dividends, gains (or losses) from sales of real property, impairment losses on real estate assets, items classified by GAAP as extraordinary, the cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles, plus depreciation and amortization related to real estate assets, and adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships, and joint ventures. AFFO represents FFO excluding amortization of deferred financing costs, franchise fees, equity-based compensation expense, debt transaction costs, premiums on redemption of preferred shares, losses from net casualties, non-cash lease expense, non-cash interest income and non-cash income tax related adjustments to our deferred tax assets. Unless otherwise indicated, we present FFO and AFFO applicable to our common shares and common units. We present FFO and AFFO because we consider FFO and AFFO 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 and AFFO when reporting their results. FFO and AFFO are 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 fallen with market conditions. Because FFO and AFFO exclude depreciation and amortization related to real estate assets, gains and losses from real property dispositions and impairment losses on real estate assets, FFO and AFFO provide performance measures that, when compared year over year, reflect the effect to operations from trends in occupancy, guestroom rates, operating costs, development activities and interest costs, providing perspective not immediately apparent from net income. Our computation of FFO differs slightly from the computation of Nareit-defined FFO related to the reporting of corporate depreciation and amortization expense. Our computation of FFO may also differ from the methodology for calculating FFO used by other equity REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REITs. FFO and AFFO 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. Where indicated in this release, FFO is based on our computation of FFO and not the computation of Nareit-defined FFO unless otherwise noted.
EBITDA, EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDAre, and Hotel EBITDA
In September 2017, Nareit proposed a standardized performance measure, called EBITDAre, which is based on EBITDA and is expected to provide additional relevant information about REITs as real estate companies in support of growing interest among generalist investors. The conclusion was reached that, while dedicated REIT investors have long been accustomed to utilizing the industry's supplemental measures such as FFO and net operating income ("NOI") to evaluate the investment quality of REITs as real estate companies, it would be helpful to generalist investors for REITs as real estate companies to also present EBITDAre as a more widely known and understood supplemental measure of performance. EBITDAre is intended to be a supplemental non-GAAP performance measure that is independent of a company's capital structure and will provide a uniform basis for one measurement of the enterprise value of a company compared to other REITs.
EBITDAre, as defined by Nareit, is calculated as EBITDA, excluding: (i) loss and gains on disposition of property and (ii) asset impairments, if any. We believe EBITDAre 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.
We make additional adjustments to EBITDAre when evaluating our performance because we believe that the exclusion of certain additional non-recurring or unusual items described below provides useful supplemental information to investors regarding our on-going operating performance. We believe that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDAre, when combined with the primary GAAP presentation of net income, 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.
With respect to hotel EBITDA, we believe that excluding the effect of corporate-level expenses and non-cash items provides a more complete understanding of the operating results over which individual hotels and operators have direct control. We believe the property-level results provide investors with supplemental information on the on-going operational performance of our hotels and effectiveness of the third-party management companies operating our business on a property-level basis.
We caution investors that amounts presented in accordance with our definitions of EBITDA, EBITDAre, adjusted EBITDAre, and hotel 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. EBITDA, EBITDAre, adjusted EBITDAre, and hotel EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative measure of our net income (loss) or operating performance. EBITDA, EBITDAre, adjusted EBITDAre, and hotel EBITDA may include funds that may not be available for our discretionary use due to functional requirements to conserve funds for capital expenditures and property acquisitions and other commitments and uncertainties. Although we believe that EBITDA, EBITDAre, adjusted EBITDAre, and hotel EBITDA can enhance your understanding of our financial condition and results of operations, these non-GAAP financial measures are not necessarily a better indicator of any trend as compared to a comparable GAAP measure such as net income (loss). Above, we include a quantitative reconciliation of EBITDA, EBITDAre, adjusted EBITDAre and hotel EBITDA to the most directly comparable GAAP financial performance measure, which is net income (loss) and operating income (loss).
