RLJ Lodging Trust
Investor Relations

RLJ Lodging Trust, a well-established player in the hospitality industry, is a real estate investment trust (REIT) that has carved a niche for itself through strategic acquisitions and diverse property holdings. Originating in 2011 and headquartered in Bethesda, Maryland, the company operates a portfolio comprised predominantly of premium-branded, focused-service hotels. These properties, often located in the bustling urban centers and major market areas of the United States, benefit from high foot traffic and tourist activity, providing a steady stream of income. With brands under the Marriott, Hilton, and Hyatt umbrellas in its portfolio, RLJ leverages the robust loyalty programs and strong reputations of these partners to drive occupancy rates and maximize revenue. The company’s business model capitalizes on providing quality accommodations that offer a streamlined and efficient experience for travelers, which helps to maintain a competitive edge in an ever-evolving market.

The financial engine of RLJ Lodging Trust runs on a combination of rental income from its hotel operations and the strategic buying and selling of properties to optimize its portfolio. Moreover, the REIT benefits from the management contracts and franchise agreements that align operational excellence with branded experiences. These arrangements ensure a seamless guest experience while RLJ focuses on maintaining and enhancing property value. Revenue is further bolstered by implementing cost-efficient management practices that help control expenses, ultimately channeling profits back to shareholders in the form of dividends. By concentrating on properties that require relatively less capital expenditure compared to full-service hotels, RLJ is able to maintain a high return on investment, indicative of its insightful approach to navigating the nuanced hospitality sector.

Fibra Inn reported a decrease in total revenues, down 8.8% year-over-year, driven by lower lodging and rental income amidst Mexico's economic contraction. Same-store occupancy increased slightly by 2.8%, but revenue per available room fell by 5.4%. The company aims for an average daily rate increase in 2020, anticipating a range of MXN 220-240. Fibra Inn has implemented cost control measures, improving debt costs to 9.64%, while planning strategic asset sales and remodeling. Amid these challenges, a cash dividend of MXN 63.6 million has been declared, reflecting a commitment to shareholder value even as uncertainties loom.
