TEXAS STRATEGIC GROWTH FUND HIGHLIGHTS
Including the Company’s $2.5 million investment, the fund has raised approximately $6 million of capital.
Completed first equity investment of $5 million in a 466-unit multi-family property in San Antonio, TX.

“The lodging industry continues to perform well despite a normalization of leisure travel and general macroeconomic concerns,” commented Monty J. Bennett, Ashford’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “While we reported solid revenue growth at INSPIRE, Premier and RED Hospitality, our margins were negatively impacted as those businesses resume more normalized staffing levels compared to the prior year quarter, and we continue to be encouraged with the pace of capital raising at Ashford Securities.”

Mr. Bennett concluded, “Moving forward, we will continue to focus on growing our third-party business for our portfolio companies and growing our assets under management at our advised platforms.”

Included in this press release are certain supplemental measures of performance, which are not measures of operating performance under GAAP, to assist investors in evaluating the Company’s historical or future financial performance. These supplemental measures include adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”) and Adjusted Net Income. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income provide investors and management with a meaningful indicator of operating performance. Management also uses Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income, among other measures, to evaluate profitability. We calculate Adjusted EBITDA by subtracting or adding to net income (loss): interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, net income (loss) to noncontrolling interests, transaction costs, and other expenses. We calculate Adjusted Net Income by subtracting or adding to net income (loss): net income (loss) to noncontrolling interests, transaction costs, and other expenses. Our methodology for calculating Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income may differ from the methodologies used by other comparable companies, when calculating the same or similar supplemental financial measures and may not be comparable with these companies. Neither Adjusted EBITDA nor Adjusted Net Income represents cash generated from operating activities as determined by GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to (a) GAAP net income (loss) as an indication of our financial performance or (b) GAAP cash flows from operating activities as a measure of our liquidity nor are such measures indicative of funds available to satisfy our cash needs. The Company urges investors to carefully review the U.S. GAAP financial information as shown in our periodic reports on Form 10-Q and Form 10-K, as amended and our Current Reports on Form 8-K.
