EXHIBIT 99.1
On June 10, 2024, Ashford Hospitality Trust, Inc. (“Ashford Trust” or the “Company”) completed the sale of the 90-room SpringHill Suites Kennesaw and the 86-room Fairfield Inn Kennesaw located in Kennesaw, Georgia (collectively the “Hotel Group”) for $17.1 million in cash, net of selling expenses. Additionally, the Company repaid approximately $10.9 million on the mortgage loan secured by the Hotel Group.
The following unaudited pro forma financial information of the Company, as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and for the year ended December 31, 2023 has been prepared for informational purposes only and does not purport to be indicative of what would have resulted had the disposition occurred on the date indicated or what may result in the future. The unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet assumes the disposition closed on March 31, 2024. The unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2023, and the three months ended March 31, 2024, assume the disposition closed on January 1, 2023. The unaudited pro forma financial information of the Company reflects the removal of the assets and liabilities of the Hotel Group and its results of operations, which contains a non-recurring gain associated with the disposition of the hotel properties. The pro forma gain resulting from the disposition of the Hotel Group is preliminary. Therefore, the actual results may differ from the amounts reflected in the pro forma financial statements. There are no other non-recurring items associated with the transaction.
