RYMAN HOSPITALITY PROPERTIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

On January 1, 2013, Ryman Hospitality Properties, Inc. (“Ryman”) and its subsidiaries (collectively with Ryman, the “Company”) began operating as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for federal income tax purposes, specializing in group-oriented, destination hotel assets in urban and resort markets. The Company’s owned assets include a network of upscale, meetings-focused resorts that are managed by Marriott International, Inc. (“Marriott”) under the Gaylord Hotels and JW Marriott brands. The five Gaylord Hotels resorts, which the Company refers to as the Gaylord Hotels properties, consist of the Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center in Nashville, Tennessee (“Gaylord Opryland”), the Gaylord Palms Resort & Convention Center near Orlando, Florida (“Gaylord Palms”), the Gaylord Texan Resort & Convention Center near Dallas, Texas (“Gaylord Texan”), the Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center near Washington D.C. (“Gaylord National”), and the Gaylord Rockies Resort & Convention Center near Denver, Colorado (“Gaylord Rockies”). The two JW Marriott resorts, which the Company refers to as the JW Marriott properties, consist of the JW Marriott San Antonio Hill Country Resort & Spa (“JW Marriott Hill Country”) and the JW Marriott Phoenix Desert Ridge Resort & Spa (“JW Marriott Desert Ridge”) (effective June 10, 2025). The Company’s other owned hotel assets managed by Marriott include the Inn at Opryland, an overflow hotel adjacent to Gaylord Opryland, and the AC Hotel at National Harbor, Washington D.C. (“AC Hotel”), an overflow hotel adjacent to Gaylord National.

The Company also owns an approximate 70% controlling equity interest in OEG Attractions Holdings, LLC, a business comprised of a number of entertainment and media assets, known as the Opry Entertainment Group (“OEG”), which the Company reports as its Entertainment segment. These assets include the Grand Ole Opry, the legendary weekly showcase of country music’s finest performers; the Ryman Auditorium, the storied live music venue and former home of the Grand Ole Opry; WSM-AM, the Opry’s radio home; Ole Red, a brand of Blake Shelton-themed bar, music venue and event spaces; Category 10, a brand of Luke Combs-themed bar, music venue and event spaces that opened in Nashville, Tennessee in November 2024, with additional locations expected to open in Las Vegas, Nevada in late 2026 and at Universal Orlando Resort’s CityWalk in late 2027; Block 21, a mixed-use entertainment, lodging, office, and retail complex located in Austin, Texas (“Block 21”); and a majority and controlling equity interest in Southern Entertainment, a Charlotte, North Carolina-based national music festival and events production company. In addition, in January 2026, OEG began managing the Ascend Amphitheater in downtown Nashville, Tennessee and, in February 2026, began managing the CCNB Amphitheatre outside of Greenville, South Carolina.

The Company consolidates the assets, liabilities and results of operations of OEG in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. The portion of OEG that the Company does not own is recorded as noncontrolling interest in Opry Entertainment Group, which is classified as mezzanine equity in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets, and any adjustment necessary to reflect the noncontrolling interest at its redemption value is shown in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of equity and noncontrolling interest. See Note 4, “Income Per Share,” for further disclosure.

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Ryman and its subsidiaries and have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted from this report pursuant to such rules and regulations. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the results of operations for the interim periods have been included. All adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature. The results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year because of seasonal and short-term variations.

Table of Contents

Newly Issued Accounting Standards

In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2024-03, “Expense Disaggregation Disclosures,” requiring public entities to disclose, on an annual and interim basis, disaggregated information about certain income statement line items, including employee compensation, purchases of inventory, depreciation, intangible asset amortization and depletion for each income statement line item that includes those expenses. The guidance is applied prospectively, but with the option to apply retrospectively, and will be effective for the Company for fiscal year 2027. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU but does not anticipate this adoption to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-11, “Interim Reporting – Narrow-Scope Improvements,” which is intended to improve the navigability of previous guidance and clarify when that guidance is applicable. Among other items, it establishes a principle under which an entity must disclose events since the end of the last annual reporting period that have a material impact on the entity. ASU 2025-11 is not intended to change the fundamental nature of interim reporting or expand or reduce current interim disclosure guidance. The guidance may be applied retrospectively or prospectively and will be effective for the Company for interim periods beginning in fiscal year 2028. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU but does not anticipate this adoption to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

2. JW MARRIOTT DESERT RIDGE TRANSACTION:

On June 10, 2025, the Company purchased JW Marriott Desert Ridge for approximately $865 million. The Company funded the purchase price with a portion of the approximately $275.5 million in net proceeds of an underwritten registered public offering of approximately 3.0 million shares of the Company’s common stock and approximately $614 million in net proceeds of a private placement of $625 million aggregate principal amount of 6.50% senior notes due 2033. JW Marriott Desert Ridge assets are reflected in the Company’s Hospitality segment beginning June 10, 2025.

The Company performed a valuation of the fair value of the acquired assets and liabilities as of June 10, 2025. The valuations of the various components of property and equipment were determined principally based on the cost approach, which uses assumptions regarding replacement values from established indices. The valuation of intangible assets was based on various methods to evaluate the value of a below market ground lease and the values of advanced bookings previously received for the hotel. The Company considers each of these estimates as Level 3 fair value measurements.

The Company determined that the acquisition represents an asset acquisition and has capitalized transaction costs and allocated the purchase price to the relative fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, adjusted for working capital adjustments as set forth in the purchase agreement and transaction costs, in the Company’s balance sheet at June 10, 2025 as follows (amounts in thousands):


Property and equipment	$	747,377
Cash and cash equivalents - unrestricted		5,891
Cash and cash equivalents - restricted		1,661

The majority of the Company’s Entertainment segment revenues are concentrated in Nashville, Tennessee; Las Vegas, Nevada; and Austin, Texas.

The Company records deferred revenues when cash payments are received in advance of its performance obligations, primarily related to advanced deposits on hotel rooms and advanced ticketing at its OEG venues. At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had $271.7 million and $220.6 million, respectively, in deferred revenues, which are included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. Of the amount outstanding at December 31, 2025, approximately $106.7 million was recognized in revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2026.

4. INCOME PER SHARE:

The computation of basic and diluted earnings per common share is as follows (in thousands, except per share data):


	Three Months Ended
	March 31,
	2026		2025
Numerator:
Net income available to common stockholders	$	70,475	$	62,961
Net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interest in OEG		(588)		711
Net income available to common stockholders - if-converted method	$	69,887	$	63,672

Denominator:
Weighted average shares outstanding - basic		63,023		59,919
Effect of dilutive equity-based compensation		206		240
Effect of dilutive put rights		4,434		3,654
Weighted average shares outstanding - diluted		67,663		63,813

Basic income per share available to common stockholders	$	1.12	$	1.05
Diluted income per share available to common stockholders	$	1.03	$	1.00

As more fully discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, although currently not exercisable, the minority investor of OEG has certain put rights (the “OEG Put Rights”) to require the Company to purchase the minority investor’s equity interest in OEG, which the Company may pay in cash or Company stock at the Company’s option. The Company calculated potential dilution for the OEG Put Rights based on the if-converted method, which assumes the OEG Put Rights were converted on the first day of the period or the date of issuance and the minority investor’s noncontrolling equity interest was redeemed in exchange for shares of the Company’s common stock.

The operating partnership units (“OP Units”) held by the noncontrolling interest holders in RHP Hotel Properties, LP (the “Operating Partnership”) have been excluded from the denominator of the diluted income per share calculation for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 as there would be no effect on the calculation of diluted income per share because the income or loss attributable to the OP Units held by the noncontrolling interest holders would also be added or subtracted to derive net income available to common stockholders.

6. NOTES RECEIVABLE:

As further discussed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, in connection with the development of Gaylord National, the Company holds two issuances of governmental bonds (“Series A bond” and “Series B bond”) with a total carrying value and approximate fair value of $52.6 million and $53.5

Table of Contents

million at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, net of credit loss reserve of $38.0 million at each of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. The Company receives debt service and principal payments thereon, payable from property tax increments, hotel taxes and special hotel rental taxes generated from Gaylord National through the maturity dates of July 1, 2034 and September 1, 2037, respectively. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis to the extent that such amounts are expected to be collected. During the periods presented, the Company has accrued interest only on the Series A bond.

The Company has the intent and ability to hold these bonds to maturity. The Company’s quarterly assessment of credit losses considers the estimate of projected tax revenues that will service the bonds over their remaining terms. These tax revenue projections are updated each quarter to reflect updated industry projections as to future anticipated operations of the hotel. As a result of reduced tax revenue projections over the life of the bonds as well as certain cumulative priority payments due to others, the Series B bond is fully reserved. The Series A bond is of higher priority than other tranches which fall between the Company’s two issuances.

During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company recorded interest income of $1.0 million and $1.1 million, respectively, on these bonds. The Company received payments of $2.0 million and $2.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, relating to these notes receivable.

At March 31, 2026, there were no defaults under the covenants related to the Company’s outstanding debt.

$850 Million Revolving Credit Facility

On January 28, 2026, the Company entered into an Amendment No. 1 to Credit Agreement (the “First Amendment”), which amended the Company’s existing credit agreement to, among other things, increase the maximum borrowing capacity under the Company’s revolving credit facility (the “Revolver”) from $700.0 million to $850.0 million, remove the “SOFR Adjustment” applicable to borrowings under the Revolver, extend the maturity date of the Revolver to January 28, 2030 and modify certain financial covenants applicable to the Revolver.

$700 Million 5.75% Senior Notes due 2034

On March 11, 2026, the Operating Partnership and RHP Finance Corporation (collectively, the “issuing subsidiaries”) completed the private placement of $700.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.75% senior notes due 2034 (the “$700 Million 5.75% Senior Notes”), which are guaranteed by the Company and its subsidiaries that guarantee the Credit Agreement.

The $700 Million 5.75% Senior Notes and guarantees were issued pursuant to an indenture by and among the issuing subsidiaries, the guarantors and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee. The $700 Million 5.75% Senior Notes have a maturity date of March 15, 2034 and bear interest at 5.75% per annum, payable semi-annually in cash in arrears on March 15 and September 15 each year, beginning on September 15, 2026. The $700 Million 5.75% Senior Notes are general unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of the issuing subsidiaries and rank equal in right of payment with such subsidiaries’ existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness, including the Company’s $400 million in aggregate principal amount of 7.25% senior notes due 2028, $600 million in aggregate principal amount of 4.50% senior notes due 2029, $1 billion in aggregate principal amount of 6.50% senior notes due 2032, and $625 million in aggregate principal amount of 6.50% senior notes due 2033, and senior in right of payment to future subordinated indebtedness, if any.

The $700 Million 5.75% Senior Notes are effectively subordinated to the issuing subsidiaries’ secured indebtedness, including the Operating Partnership’s existing credit facility, to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness and structurally subordinated to all indebtedness and other obligations of the Operating Partnership’s subsidiaries that do not guarantee the $700 Million 5.75% Senior Notes. The guarantees rank equally in right of payment with the applicable guarantor’s existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness and senior in right of payment to any future subordinated indebtedness of such guarantor. The $700 Million 5.75% Senior Notes are effectively subordinated to any secured indebtedness of any guarantor to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness and structurally subordinated to all indebtedness and other obligations of the Operating Partnership’s subsidiaries that do not guarantee the $700 Million 5.75% Senior Notes.

The net proceeds from the issuance of the $700 Million 5.75% Senior Notes totaled approximately $687 million, after deducting the initial purchasers’ discounts, commissions and offering expenses. The Company used these net proceeds, together with cash on hand, to redeem in full the Company’s former $700 million in aggregate principal amount of 4.75% senior notes originally due 2027.

The $700 Million 5.75% Senior Notes are redeemable before March 15, 2029, in whole or in part, at 100.00%, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not including, the redemption date, plus a make-whole premium. The $700 Million 5.75% Senior Notes will be redeemable, in whole or in part, at any time on or after March 15, 2029 at a redemption price expressed as a percentage of the principal amount thereof, which percentage is 102.875%, 101.438%, and 100.000% beginning on March 15 of 2029, 2030, and 2031, respectively, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not including, the redemption date.

Compensation expense for the Company’s equity-based compensation plans was $3.8 million and $3.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

10. INCOME TAXES:

The Company elected to be taxed as a REIT effective January 1, 2013, pursuant to the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. As a REIT, generally the Company is not subject to federal corporate income taxes on ordinary taxable income and capital gains income from real estate investments that it distributes to its stockholders. The Company continues to be required to pay federal and state corporate income taxes on earnings of its taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRSs”).

For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company recorded an income tax provision of $6.9 million and $4.2 million, respectively, related to its TRSs.

At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had no unrecognized tax benefits.

11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:

On April 9, 2024, the Company received service of process in a lawsuit naming the Company and a subsidiary as co-defendants with Marriott, as the manager, and multiple contractors in a personal injury lawsuit filed by individual plaintiffs in Colorado state court. The lawsuit relates to a May 2023 incident at the Gaylord Rockies indoor pool amenity involving the collapse of HVAC equipment. The complaint as amended requests an unspecified amount of damages related to alleged injuries to three guests and related claims by their families. The discovery phase of the litigation is ongoing at this time. The Company cannot predict its likely outcome or estimate the range of possible loss but does not believe that the outcome will have a material impact on the Company’s financial position. The Company intends to vigorously defend the lawsuit and believes it has strong defenses.

Table of Contents

The Company has entered into employment agreements with certain officers, which provide for severance payments upon certain events, including certain terminations in connection with a change of control.

In addition, the Company, in the ordinary course of business, is involved in certain legal actions and claims on a variety of matters. It is the opinion of management that such contingencies will not have a material effect on the financial statements of the Company.

12. EQUITY

Dividends

On February 23, 2026, the Company’s board of directors declared the Company’s first quarter 2026 cash dividend in the amount of $1.20 per share of common stock, or an aggregate of approximately $76.2 million in cash, which was paid on April 15, 2026 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on March 31, 2026.

Noncontrolling Interest in the Operating Partnership

The Company consolidates the Operating Partnership, which is a majority-owned limited partnership that has a noncontrolling interest. The outstanding OP Units held by the noncontrolling limited partners are redeemable for cash, or if the Company so elects, in shares of the Company’s common stock on a one-for-one basis, subject to certain adjustments. At March 31, 2026, 0.4 million outstanding OP Units, or 0.6% of the outstanding OP Units, were held by the noncontrolling limited partners and are included as a component of equity in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company owns, directly or indirectly, the remaining 99.4% of the outstanding OP Units.

13. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS:

The Company uses a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers include: Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.

The investments held by the Company in connection with its deferred compensation plan consist of mutual funds traded in an active market. The Company determined the fair value of these mutual funds based on the net asset value per unit of the funds or the portfolio, which is based upon quoted market prices in an active market. Therefore, the Company has categorized these investments as Level 1.

The Company’s interest rate swaps consist of over-the-counter swap contracts, which are not traded on a public exchange. The Company determines the fair value of these swap contracts based on a widely accepted valuation methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash flows and the discounted expected variable cash flows, using interest rates derived from observable market interest rate curves and volatilities, with appropriate adjustments for any significant impact of non-performance risk of the parties to the swap contracts. Therefore, these swap contracts have been classified as Level 2.

The Company has consistently applied the above valuation techniques in all periods presented and believes it has obtained the most accurate information available for each type of instrument.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

Ryman Hospitality Properties, Inc. (“Ryman”) is a Delaware corporation that conducts its operations so as to maintain its qualification as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for federal income tax purposes. The Company (as defined below) conducts its business through an umbrella partnership REIT, in which all of its assets are held by, and operations are conducted through, RHP Hotel Properties, LP, a subsidiary operating partnership (the “Operating Partnership”). RHP Finance Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Finco”), was formed as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Operating Partnership for the sole purpose of being a co-issuer of debt securities with the Operating Partnership. Neither Ryman nor Finco has any material assets, other than Ryman’s investment in the Operating Partnership and the Operating Partnership’s subsidiaries. Neither the Operating Partnership nor Finco has any business, operations, financial results or other material information, other than the business, operations, financial results and other material information described in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Ryman’s other reports, documents or other information filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

We also own an approximate 70% controlling equity interest in a business comprised of a number of entertainment and media assets, known as the Opry Entertainment Group (“OEG”), which we report as our Entertainment segment. These assets include the Grand Ole Opry, the legendary weekly showcase of country music’s finest performers for over 100 years; the Ryman Auditorium, the storied live music venue and former home of the Grand Ole Opry located in downtown Nashville; WSM-AM, the Opry’s radio home; Ole Red, a brand of six Blake Shelton-themed bar, music venue and event spaces; Category 10, a brand of Luke Combs-themed bar, music venue and event spaces that opened in Nashville, Tennessee in November 2024, with additional locations expected to open in Las Vegas, Nevada in late 2026 and at Universal Orlando Resort’s CityWalk in late 2027; Block 21, a mixed-use entertainment, lodging, office, and retail complex located in Austin, Texas (“Block 21”), and a majority and controlling equity interest in Southern Entertainment, a Charlotte, North Carolina-based national music festival and events production company. In addition, in January 2026, OEG began managing the Ascend Amphitheater in downtown Nashville, Tennessee, and in February 2026, OEG began managing the CCNB Amphitheatre outside of Greenville, South Carolina.

Dividend Policy

Our board of directors has approved a dividend policy pursuant to which we will make minimum dividends of 100% of REIT taxable income annually, subject to the board of directors’ future determinations as to the amount of any distributions and the timing thereof. The dividend policy may be altered at any time by our board of directors (as otherwise permitted by our credit agreement) and certain provisions of our agreements governing our other indebtedness may prohibit us from paying dividends in accordance with any policy we may adopt.

Our Long-Term Strategic Plan

Our goal is to be the nation’s premier hospitality REIT for group-oriented meeting hotel assets in urban and resort markets.

Existing Hotel Property Design. Our Gaylord Hotels properties and JW Marriott properties focus on the large group meetings and regional leisure transient markets in the United States and incorporate meeting and exhibition space, signature guest rooms, food and beverage offerings, fitness and spa facilities and other attractions within a large hotel property so attendees’ needs are met in one location. We believe this strategy creates a better experience for both meeting planners and guests and has led to our current Gaylord Hotels properties and JW Marriott properties claiming a place among the leading convention hotels in the country.

Expansion of Hotel Asset Portfolio. Part of our long-term growth strategy includes acquisitions or developments of other hotels, particularly in the group meetings sector of the hospitality industry, either alone or through joint ventures or alliances with one or more third parties. We will consider attractive investment opportunities which meet our acquisition parameters, specifically, group-oriented large hotels and overflow hotels with existing or potential leisure appeal. We are generally interested in highly accessible upper-upscale or luxury assets with over 400 hotel rooms in urban and resort group destination markets. We also consider assets that possess significant meeting space or present a repositioning opportunity and/or would significantly benefit from capital investment in additional rooms or meeting space. We are consistently considering acquisitions that would expand the geographic diversity of our existing asset portfolio. To this end, we purchased JW Marriott Hill Country in June 2023 and JW Marriott Desert Ridge in June 2025.

Continued Investment in Our Existing Properties. We continuously evaluate and invest in our current portfolio and consider enhancements or expansions as part of our long-term strategic plan. In early 2024, we identified over $1 billion in capital investment opportunities across our entire hotel portfolio, comprised of projects that we anticipate completing in phases through 2027. In 2024, we completed a $98 million multi-year interior and exterior enhancement project at Gaylord Rockies to better position the property for our group customers. Included in our nearly $225 million multi-phase capital improvement plan at Gaylord Opryland is the completed renovation of multiple ballrooms and pre-function space, the completed construction of a sports bar, event lawn and pavilion, and the ongoing expansion of approximately 108,000 square feet of premium, carpeted meeting space.

Leverage Brand Name Awareness. We believe the Grand Ole Opry is one of the most recognized entertainment brands in the United States. We promote the Grand Ole Opry name through various media, including our WSM-AM radio station, the Internet and television, and through performances by the Grand Ole Opry’s members, many of whom are renowned country music artists. As such, we have alliances in place with multiple distribution partners in an effort to foster brand extension. We believe that licensing our brand may provide an opportunity to increase revenues and cash flow with relatively little capital investment. We are continuously exploring additional products, such as television specials and retail products, through which we can capitalize on our brand affinity and awareness. To this end, we have purchased Block 21, invested in six Ole Red locations and recently announced the planned development of a seventh Ole Red location that is expected to open in late 2027, opened our first Category 10 in November 2024 and have announced the development of two additional Category 10 locations that are expected to open in late 2026 and late 2027, respectively, purchased a majority interest in Southern Entertainment in January 2025, and began managing the Ascend Amphitheater in January and the CCNB Amphitheatre in February 2026. In September 2025, the Grand Ole Opry traveled to the Royal Albert Hall in London for the first international performance in its history. Further, in 2022, we completed a strategic transaction to sell a minority interest in OEG to an affiliate of Atairos Group, Inc. and its strategic partner NBCUniversal Media, LLC, who we believe will continue to help us expand the distribution of our OEG brands.

Short-Term Capital Allocation. Our short-term capital allocation strategy is focused on returning capital to stockholders through the payment of dividends, in addition to investing in our assets and operations. Our dividend policy provides that we will make minimum dividends of 100% of REIT taxable income annually, subject to the board of directors’ future determinations as to the amount of any distributions and the timing thereof.

Our Operations

Our operations are organized into three principal business segments:

●

Hospitality, consisting of our Gaylord Hotels properties, our JW Marriott properties (including, effective June 10, 2025, JW Marriott Desert Ridge), the Inn at Opryland and the AC Hotel.

●

Entertainment, consisting of the Grand Ole Opry, the Ryman Auditorium, WSM-AM, Ole Red, Category 10, Block 21, Southern Entertainment, our other Nashville-based attractions, and, beginning in 2026, the operation of the Ascend Amphitheater in downtown Nashville, Tennessee, and the CCNB Amphitheatre outside of Greenville, South Carolina.

●

Corporate and Other, consisting of our corporate expenses.

For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, our total revenues were divided among these business segments as follows:


		Three Months Ended
		March 31,
Segment		2026		2025
Hospitality		88	%	85	%
Entertainment		12	%	15	%
Corporate and Other		0	%	0	%

Key Performance Indicators

The operating results of our Hospitality segment are highly dependent on the volume of customers at our hotels and the quality of the customer mix at our hotels, which are managed by Marriott. These factors impact the price that Marriott can charge for our hotel rooms and other amenities, such as food and beverage and meeting space. The following key performance indicators are commonly used in the hospitality industry and are used by management to evaluate hotel performance and allocate capital resources:

●

hotel occupancy – a volume indicator calculated by dividing total rooms sold by total rooms available;

●

average daily rate (“ADR”) – a price indicator calculated by dividing room revenue by the number of rooms sold;

●

revenue per available room (“RevPAR”) – a summary measure of hotel results calculated by dividing room revenue by room nights available to guests for the period;

●

total revenue per available room (“Total RevPAR”) – a summary measure of hotel results calculated by dividing the sum of room, food and beverage and other ancillary service revenue by room nights available to guests for the period; and

●

net definite group room nights booked – a volume indicator which represents the total number of definite group bookings for future room nights at our hotels confirmed during the applicable period, net of cancellations.

We also use certain “non-GAAP financial measures,” which are measures of our historical performance that are not calculated and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), within the meaning of applicable SEC rules. These measures include:

●

Earnings Before Interest Expense, Income Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization for Real Estate (“EBITDAre”), Adjusted EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre, Excluding Noncontrolling Interest, and

●

Funds From Operations (“FFO”) available to common stockholders and unit holders and Adjusted FFO available to common stockholders and unit holders.

See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below for further discussion.

The results of operations of our Hospitality segment are affected by the number and type of group meetings and conventions scheduled to attend our hotels in a given period. A variety of factors can affect the results of any interim period, including the nature and quality of the group meetings and conventions attending our hotels during such period, which meetings and conventions (and applicable room rates) have often been contracted for several years in advance, seasonality, the level of attrition our hotels experience, and the level of transient business at our hotels during such period. Increases in costs, including labor costs, costs of food and other supplies, and energy costs can negatively affect our results, particularly during an inflationary economic environment. We rely on Marriott, as the manager of our hotels, to manage these factors and to offset any identified shortfalls in occupancy.

Total Revenues

The increase in our total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to the same period in 2025, is primarily attributable to an increase in our Hospitality segment of $87.7 million, partially offset by a decrease in our Entertainment segment of $10.4 million, as presented in the tables below.

Total Operating Expenses

The increase in our total operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to the same period in 2025, is primarily the result of an increase in our Hospitality segment of $59.4 million (which includes an increase of $11.9 million in depreciation and amortization expense), partially offset by a decrease of $4.7 million in our Entertainment segment, as presented in the tables below.

Operating Income

The above factors resulted in an increase of $21.7 million in operating income for the three months ended March 31, 2026, respectively, as compared to the 2025 period.

Net Income

Our $6.4 million increase in net income for the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to the same period in 2025, was primarily due to the changes in our revenues and operating expenses reflected above, impacted by the following factors, each as described more fully below:

●

A $10.1 million increase in interest expense, net, in the 2026 period, as compared to the 2025 period, due primarily to interest expense incurred for our $625.0 million senior notes that were issued in June 2025.

●

A $2.7 million increase in provision for income taxes in the 2026 period, as compared to the 2025 period.

●

A loss on extinguishment of debt of $2.2 million in the 2026 period due to the redemption of our former $700 million in 4.75% senior notes originally due 2027.

Factors and Trends Contributing to Performance and Current Environment

Important factors and trends contributing to our performance during the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025, were:

●

The addition of JW Marriott Desert Ridge, including $73.9 million in revenues; the property averaged $357.42 in RevPAR and $863.95 in Total RevPAR.

●

An increase in same-store (Hospitality segment excluding JW Marriott Desert Ridge) ADR of 5.1% in the 2026 period, as compared to the 2025 period.

●

A decrease in same-store group rooms traveled in the 2026 period of 4.1% from the 2025 period; however, there was an increase in same-store outside-the-room spend in the 2026 period of 3.2% over the 2025 period, driven by a favorable mix of group room nights traveled.

●

An increase of 16.5% in total revenue and Total RevPAR at Gaylord Opryland in the 2026 period, as compared to the 2025 period, primarily as a result of a 7.9% increase in group rooms traveled, which also drove increased catering revenue, and a 5.7% increase in ADR.

●

An increase of 10.5% in total revenue and Total RevPAR at Gaylord Palms in the 2026 period, as compared to the 2025 period, primarily as a result of a 4.4% increase in group rooms traveled, which also drove increased catering revenue, and a 9.1% increase in ADR.

●

A decrease of 9.0% in total revenue and Total RevPAR at JW Marriott Hill Country in the 2026 period, as compared to the 2025 period, primarily as a result of a decrease of 9.3 points of occupancy due primarily to a decrease in group rooms traveled and the resulting decrease in catering revenue.

●

A decrease of 8.2% in total revenue and Total RevPAR at Gaylord National in the 2026 period, as compared to the 2025 period, primarily as a result of a decrease of 9.4 points of occupancy due primarily to a decrease in group rooms traveled and the resulting decrease in catering revenue. The decrease in group rooms traveled is at least partially attributable to Winter Storm Fern, which impacted the property in January 2026.

●

A decrease of 3.5% in total revenue and Total RevPAR at Gaylord Texan in the 2026 period, as compared to the 2025 period, primarily as a result of a decrease of 7.6 points of occupancy due to a decrease in both group and transient room nights. This decline is primarily attributable to the ongoing rooms renovation at the property.

Other important factors and trends for the three months ended, and as of, March 31, 2026 include:

●

Same-store net definite group room nights booked at our hotels for all future periods in the three months ended March 31, 2026 increased 18.1%, as compared to the same period in 2025.

●

Same-store group room nights on the books for all future years at our hotels at March 31, 2026 is 2.0% higher than the number on the books at the same point in 2025. In addition, the estimated ADR on those group room nights on the books at March 31, 2026 is 5.4% higher than the same point in 2025.

(1)	We calculate Hospitality RevPAR by dividing room revenue by room nights available to guests for the period. Room nights available to guests include nights that rooms are out of service. Hospitality RevPAR is not comparable to similarly titled measures such as revenues.

(2)

We calculate Hospitality Total RevPAR by dividing the sum of room, food and beverage, and other ancillary services revenue (which equals Hospitality segment revenue) by room nights available to guests for the period. Room nights available to guests include nights that rooms are out of service. Hospitality Total RevPAR is not comparable to similarly titled measures such as revenues.

(3)	Same-store Hospitality segment metrics do not include JW Marriott Desert Ridge, which we purchased on June 10, 2025.

Total Hospitality segment revenues in the three months ended March 31, 2026 include $8.4 million in attrition and cancellation fee revenue, an increase of $1.6 million in attrition and cancellation fee collections from the 2025 period.

The percentage of group versus transient business based on rooms sold for our Hospitality segment for the periods presented was approximately as follows:

Other hotel expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 consist of the following (in thousands):


		Three Months Ended
		March 31,
								%
		2026			2025			Change
Administrative employment costs		$	56,827		$	48,500		17.2	%

Other			61,975			52,472		18.1	%
Total other hotel expenses		$	144,622		$	123,924		16.7	%

Each of the other hotel expense categories above increased in the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to the 2025 period, primarily due to the addition of JW Marriott Desert Ridge. Administrative employment costs include salaries and benefits for hotel administrative functions, including, among others, senior management, accounting, human resources, sales, conference services, engineering and security. The increase in other expenses, which include supplies, advertising, maintenance costs and consulting costs, during the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to the same period in 2025, also includes a slight increase of various miscellaneous expenses at Gaylord Opryland associated with the increase in business levels.

Each of our management agreements with Marriott requires us to pay Marriott a base management fee based on the gross revenues from the applicable property for each fiscal year or portion thereof. The applicable percentage for our Gaylord Hotels properties, excluding Gaylord Rockies, is approximately 2% of gross revenues, Gaylord Rockies and JW Marriott Desert Ridge are approximately 3% of gross revenues, and JW Marriott Hill Country is approximately 3.5% of gross revenues. Additionally, we pay Marriott an incentive management fee based on the profitability of our hotels. In the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, we incurred $14.0 million and $11.6 million, respectively, related to base management fees for our Hospitality segment and $7.7 million and $7.6 million, respectively, related to incentive management fees for our Hospitality segment. Management fees are presented throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q net of the amortization of the deferred management rights proceeds discussed in Note 5, “Deferred Management Rights Proceeds,” to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.

Total Hospitality segment depreciation and amortization expense increased in the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to the same period in 2025, primarily due to the increase in depreciable assets associated with JW Marriott Desert Ridge, as well as increases in asset values at Gaylord Texan related to the ongoing rooms renovation and Gaylord Opryland related to the 2025 renovation of an existing ballroom and pre-function space.

Entertainment segment operating expenses decreased in the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to the 2025 period, primarily related to a decrease in variable expenses associated with the decrease in revenue.

Depreciation and amortization remained stable in the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to the 2025 period.

See Note 6, “Notes Receivable,” to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements included herein for additional discussion of interest income on these bonds.

Loss on Extinguishment of Debt

As a result of the March 2026 redemption of our previous outstanding $700.0 million 4.75% senior notes due 2027, we recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt of $2.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2026.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We present the following non-GAAP financial measures that we believe are useful to investors as key measures of our operating performance:

EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre, Excluding Noncontrolling Interest Definition

We calculate EBITDAre, which is defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) in its September 2017 white paper as net income (calculated in accordance with GAAP) plus interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, gains or losses on the disposition of depreciated property (including gains or losses on change in control), impairment write-downs of depreciated property and of investments in unconsolidated affiliates caused by a decrease in the value of depreciated property of the affiliate, and adjustments to reflect the entity’s share of EBITDAre of unconsolidated affiliates.

Adjusted EBITDAre is then calculated as EBITDAre, plus to the extent the following adjustments occurred during the periods presented:

●

preopening costs;

●

non-cash lease expense;

●

equity-based compensation expense;

●

impairment charges that do not meet the NAREIT definition above;

●

credit losses on held-to-maturity securities;

●

transaction costs of acquisitions;

●

interest income on bonds;

●

loss on extinguishment of debt;

●

pension settlement charges;

●

pro rata Adjusted EBITDAre from unconsolidated joint ventures; and

●

any other adjustments we have identified herein.

We then exclude the pro rata share of Adjusted EBITDAre related to noncontrolling interests to calculate Adjusted EBITDAre, Excluding Noncontrolling Interest.

We use EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre, Excluding Noncontrolling Interest to evaluate our operating performance. We believe that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information to investors regarding our operating performance and debt leverage metrics, and that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures, when combined with the primary GAAP presentation of net income, is beneficial to an investor’s complete understanding of our operating performance. We make additional adjustments to EBITDAre when evaluating our performance because we believe that presenting Adjusted EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre, Excluding Noncontrolling Interest provides useful information to investors regarding our operating performance and debt leverage metrics.

FFO, Adjusted FFO, and Adjusted FFO Available to Common Stockholders and Unit Holders Definition

We calculate FFO, which definition is clarified by NAREIT in its December 2018 white paper as net income (calculated in accordance with GAAP) excluding depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs and debt discounts), gains and losses from the sale of certain real estate assets, gains and losses from a change in control, impairment write-downs of certain real estate assets and investments in entities when the impairment is directly attributable to decreases in the value of depreciated real estate held by the entity, income (loss) from consolidated joint ventures attributable to noncontrolling interest, and pro rata adjustments from unconsolidated joint ventures.

Table of Contents

To calculate Adjusted FFO available to common stockholders and unit holders, we then exclude, to the extent the following adjustments occurred during the periods presented:

●

right-of-use asset amortization;

●

impairment charges that do not meet the NAREIT definition above;

●

write-offs of deferred financing costs;

●

amortization of debt discounts or premiums and amortization of deferred financing costs;

●

loss on extinguishment of debt;

●

non-cash lease expense;

●

credit loss on held-to-maturity securities;

●

pension settlement charges;

●

additional pro rata adjustments from unconsolidated joint ventures;

●

(gains) losses on other assets;

●

transaction costs of acquisitions;

●

deferred income tax expense (benefit); and

●

any other adjustments we have identified herein.

FFO available to common stockholders and unit holders and Adjusted FFO available to common stockholders and unit holders exclude the ownership portion of the joint ventures not controlled or owned by the Company.

We believe that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information to investors regarding the performance of our ongoing operations because each presents a measure of our operations without regard to specified non-cash items such as real estate depreciation and amortization, gain or loss on sale of assets and certain other items, which we believe are not indicative of the performance of our underlying hotel properties. We believe that these items are more representative of our asset base than our ongoing operations. We also use these non-GAAP financial measures as measures in determining our results after considering the impact of our capital structure.

We caution investors that non-GAAP financial measures we present may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by other companies, because not all companies calculate these non-GAAP measures in the same manner. The non-GAAP financial measures we present should not be considered as alternative measures of our net income, operating performance, cash flow or liquidity. These 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 and property acquisitions and other commitments and uncertainties. Although we believe that these non-GAAP financial measures can enhance an investor’s understanding of our results of operations, these non-GAAP financial measures, when viewed individually, are not necessarily better indicators of any trend as compared to GAAP measures such as net income, operating income, or cash flow from operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Flows Provided By Operating Activities. Cash flow from operating activities is the principal source of cash used to fund our operating expenses, interest payments on debt, maintenance capital expenditures, and dividends to stockholders. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, our net cash flows provided by operating activities were $169.2 million, primarily reflecting our net income before depreciation expense, amortization expense and other non-cash charges of $157.9 million and favorable changes in working capital of $11.3 million. The favorable changes in working capital primarily resulted from the receipt of property tax rebates at Gaylord Rockies, an increase in advanced ticket purchases at our OEG venues and advanced room deposits on future hotel stays, and an increase in general accounts payable due to the timing of payments. These favorable changes in working capital were partially offset by an

Table of Contents

increase in accounts receivable due to a seasonal increase in group business at our hotel properties and the payment of accrued property taxes and accrued compensation.

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, our net cash flows provided by operating activities were $98.2 million, primarily reflecting our net income before depreciation expense, amortization expense and other non-cash charges of $136.0 million, partially offset by unfavorable changes in working capital of $37.8 million. The unfavorable changes in working capital primarily resulted from an increase in accounts receivable due to a seasonal increase in group business at our hotel properties and a decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities primarily related to the payment of accrued compensation, property taxes and interest. These unfavorable changes in working capital were partially offset by an increase in advanced room deposits on future hotel stays and advanced ticket purchases at our OEG venues.

Cash Flows Used In Investing Activities. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, our primary use of funds for investing activities was purchases of property and equipment, which totaled $113.7 million, and consisted primarily of a rooms renovation at Gaylord Texan and the preparation for a rooms renovation at JW Marriott Hill Country; projects at Gaylord Opryland, including a meeting space expansion and the development of a sports bar, pavilion and event lawn; and ongoing maintenance capital expenditures for each of our existing properties.

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, our primary use of funds for investing activities were purchases of property and equipment, which totaled $112.7 million, and consisted primarily of the renovation of a ballroom and pre-function space and the development of the sports bar, pavilion and event lawn at Gaylord Opryland; the preparation for the rooms renovation at Gaylord Texan; and ongoing maintenance capital expenditures for each of our existing properties.

Cash Flows Used In Financing Activities. Our cash flows from financing activities primarily reflect the incurrence and repayment of long-term debt and the payment of cash distributions. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, our net cash flows used in financing activities were $104.1 million, primarily reflecting the issuance of $700.0 million in senior notes and the redemption of $700.0 million in senior notes, the payment of $77.5 million in cash distributions, and the payment of $19.2 million in deferred financing costs.

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, our net cash flows used in financing activities were $82.0 million, primarily reflecting the payment of $70.3 million in cash distributions.

Liquidity

At March 31, 2026, we had $424.0 million in unrestricted cash and $930.0 million available for borrowing in the aggregate under our revolving credit facility and the OEG revolving credit facility. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, we issued $700 million in new senior notes, redeemed $700 million in existing senior notes, incurred capital expenditures of $113.7 million and paid $77.5 million in cash distributions. These changes, partially offset by the cash flows provided by operations discussed above, were the primary factors in the decrease in our cash balance from December 31, 2025 to March 31, 2026.

We anticipate investing in our operations during the remainder of 2026 by spending between approximately $235 million and $335 million in capital expenditures, which includes a meeting space expansion at Gaylord Opryland; rooms renovations at JW Marriott Hill Country and Gaylord Texan; and ongoing maintenance capital for each of our current facilities. At this time, the scope of our multiyear capital program remains unchanged; however, the discrete nature of the projects in the pipeline allows us to take a flexible approach to evolving macroeconomic conditions. Further, our dividend policy provides that we will make minimum dividends of 100% of REIT taxable income annually. Future dividends are subject to our board of directors’ future determinations as to amount and timing. We currently have no debt maturities until July 2028. We believe we will be able to refinance our debt agreements prior to their maturities.

We believe that our cash on hand and cash flow from operations, together with amounts available for borrowing under each of our revolving credit facility and the OEG revolving credit facility, will be adequate to fund our general short-term commitments, as well as: (i) current operating expenses, (ii) interest expense on long-term debt obligations, (iii) financing lease and operating lease obligations, (iv) declared dividends and (v) the capital expenditures described

above. Our ability to draw on our credit facility and the OEG revolving credit facility is subject to the satisfaction of provisions of the credit facility and the OEG revolving credit facility, as applicable.

Our outstanding principal debt agreements are described below. At March 31, 2026, there were no defaults under the covenants related to our outstanding debt.

Principal Debt Agreements

Credit Facility. On May 18, 2023, we entered into a Credit Agreement (as modified pursuant to the First Incremental Agreement, the Second Incremental Agreement and the First Amendment (each as hereinafter defined), the “Credit Agreement”) among the Company, as a guarantor, the Operating Partnership, as borrower, certain other subsidiaries of the Company party thereto, as guarantors, certain subsidiaries of the Company party thereto, as pledgors, the lenders party thereto and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent.

The Credit Agreement provides for a revolving credit facility (the “Revolver”) in an original aggregate principal amount equal to $700.0 million and as of January 28, 2026 increased to $850.0 million pursuant to Amendment No. 1 to Credit Agreement (the “First Amendment”) and a senior secured term loan B (the “Term Loan B”) (in the original principal amount of $500.0 million, with an outstanding principal amount equal to $289.1 million at March 31, 2026), as well as an accordion feature that will allow us to increase the facilities by an aggregate total of up to $475 million, which may be allocated between the Revolver and the Term Loan B at our option.

Each of the Revolver and the Term Loan B is guaranteed by us, each of our subsidiaries that own the Gaylord Hotels properties, the JW Marriott properties and certain of our other subsidiaries. Each of the Revolver and the Term Loan B is secured by equity pledges of our subsidiaries that are the fee owners of Gaylord Opryland and Gaylord Texan, their respective direct and indirect parent entities, and the equity of Ryman Hotel Operations Holdco, LLC, a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of the Company. Assets and equity of OEG are not subject to the liens of the Credit Agreement.

In addition, each of the Revolver and Term Loan B contains certain covenants that, among other things, limit the incurrence of additional indebtedness, investments, dividends, transactions with affiliates, asset sales, acquisitions, mergers and consolidations, liens and encumbrances and other matters customarily restricted in such agreements. Per the First Amendment to the Credit Agreement, the material financial covenants, ratios or tests contained in the Revolver are as follows:

●

OEG Credit Agreement. On June 28, 2024, OEG Borrower, LLC (“OEG Borrower”) and OEG Finance, LLC (“OEG Finance”), each a wholly owned direct or indirect subsidiary of OEG, entered into a certain First Amendment, which amends the Credit Agreement dated as of June 16, 2022 among OEG Borrower, as borrower, OEG Finance, certain subsidiaries of OEG Borrower from time to time party thereto as guarantors, the lenders party thereto and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent (as amended, the “2024 OEG Credit Agreement”).

The 2024 OEG Credit Agreement provides for (i) a senior secured term loan facility in the aggregate amount of $300.0 million (the “2024 OEG Term Loan”) and (ii) a senior secured revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $80.0 million (the “OEG Revolver”).

On April 28, 2025, OEG Borrower and OEG Finance entered into a Second Amendment, which amended the 2024 OEG Credit Agreement (as amended, the “OEG Credit Agreement”) in which OEG Borrower obtained an incremental term loan in an aggregate principal amount equal to $130.0 million (the “Incremental OEG Loan”) on the same terms as the 2024 OEG Term Loan. The net proceeds of the Incremental OEG Loan, together with cash on hand, were used to defease a previously outstanding $127.9 million non-recourse term loan secured by a mortgage on Block 21 in full. The OEG Credit Agreement provides for (i) a senior secured term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount equal to $428.5 million (the “OEG Term Loan”) and (ii) the OEG Revolver. The Incremental OEG Loan did not change any applicable interest rates or maturity dates of any indebtedness under the 2024 OEG Credit Agreement. In addition, the terms of the Incremental OEG Loan confirm that the annual amortization under the 2024 OEG Term Loan is approximately 1% of the refinanced $428.5 million outstanding principal amount, with the balance due at maturity.

At March 31, 2026, $424.2 million was outstanding under the OEG Term Loan, and there were no amounts outstanding under the OEG Revolver.

The OEG Term Loan and the OEG Revolver are each secured by substantially all of the assets of OEG Finance and each of its subsidiaries. The OEG Term Loan bears interest at a rate equal to either, at OEG Borrower’s election, as of the closing contemplated by the OEG Credit Agreement: (a) the Alternate Base Rate plus 2.50% or (b) Adjusted Term SOFR plus 3.50% (all as more specifically described in the OEG Credit Agreement). In November 2022, OEG entered into an interest rate swap to fix the SOFR portion of the interest rate on $100.0 million of borrowings at 4.533% through December 2025. In August 2025, OEG entered into an interest rate swap to fix the SOFR portion of the interest rate on $100.0 million of borrowings at 3.214% from December 2025 through December 2028. In September 2025, OEG entered into an additional interest rate swap to fix the SOFR portion of the interest rate on $125.0 million of borrowings at 3.17% through December 2028.

Borrowings under the OEG Revolver bear interest at a rate equal to either, at OEG Borrower’s election, as of the closing contemplated by the OEG Credit Agreement: (a) the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate (as defined in the OEG Credit Agreement) or (b) Adjusted Term SOFR plus the Applicable Rate. Under the OEG Credit Agreement, (i) the Applicable Rate for Alternative Base Rate loans will be between 2.75% and 2.25% and (ii) the Applicable Rate for Adjusted Term SOFR loans will be between 3.75% and 3.25%, in each of (i) and (ii) based upon the First Lien Leverage Ratio of OEG Finance and its consolidated subsidiaries (as more specifically described in the OEG Credit Agreement).

The Applicable Rate for borrowings under the OEG Revolver as of March 31, 2026 is 2.50% for Alternative Base Rate Loans and 3.50% for Adjusted Term SOFR loans. The Applicable Rate for borrowings under the OEG Term Loan as of March 31, 2026 is 2.50% for Alternative Base Rate Loans and 3.50% for Adjusted Term SOFR loans.

The OEG Term Loan matures on June 28, 2031 and the OEG Revolver matures on June 28, 2029.

Additional Debt Limitations. Pursuant to the terms of the management agreements and pooling agreement with Marriott for our Gaylord Hotels properties, excluding Gaylord Rockies, we are subject to certain debt limitations described below.

The management agreements provide for the following limitations on indebtedness encumbering a hotel:

●

The aggregate principal balance of all mortgage and mezzanine debt encumbering the hotel shall be no greater than 75% of the fair market value of the hotel; and

●

The ratio of (a) aggregate Operating Profit (as defined in the management agreement) in the 12 months prior to the closing on the mortgage or mezzanine debt to (b) annual debt service for the hotel shall equal or exceed 1.2:1; but is subject to the pooling agreement described below.

The pooled limitations on Secured Debt (as defined in the pooling agreement) are as follows:

●

The aggregate principal balance of all mortgage and mezzanine debt on Pooled Hotels (as defined in the pooling agreement), shall be no more than 75% of the fair market value of Pooled Hotels.

●

The ratio of (a) aggregate Operating Profit (as defined in the pooling agreement) of Pooled Hotels in the 12 months prior to closing on any mortgage or mezzanine debt to (b) annual debt service for the Pooled Hotels, shall equal or exceed 1.2:1.

Gaylord Rockies is not a Pooled Hotel for this purpose.

Estimated Interest on Principal Debt Agreements

Based on the stated interest rates on our fixed-rate debt and the rates in effect at March 31, 2026 for our variable-rate debt after considering interest rate swaps, our estimated interest obligations through 2030 are $993.1 million. These estimated obligations are $185.1 million for the remainder of 2026, $246.4 million in 2027, $232.6 million in 2028, $177.5 million in 2029, and $151.5 million in 2030. Variable rates, as well as outstanding principal balances, could change in future periods. See “Principal Debt Agreements” above for a discussion of our outstanding long-term debt. See “Supplemental Cash Flow Information” in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 for a discussion of the interest we paid during 2025, 2024 and 2023.

Inflation

Inflation has had a more meaningful impact on our business during recent periods than in historical periods. However, favorable ADR and outside-the-room spend in our Hospitality segment and business levels in our Entertainment segment in recent periods have reduced the impact of increased operating costs on our financial position and results of operations.

Additionally, increased interest rates have driven higher interest expense on our debt than in historical periods. In an effort to mitigate the impact of increased interest rates, at March 31, 2026, 88% of our outstanding debt is fixed-rate debt, after considering the impact of interest rate swaps.

A prolonged inflationary environment could adversely affect our operating costs, customer spending and bookings, and our financial results.

Supplemental Guarantor Financial Information
