“We achieved solid fourth quarter results that came in ahead of our outlook despite a choppy operating environment that was further constrained by a protracted government shutdown, driven by the outperformance of our urban markets, the successful ramp of our completed conversions, robust non-room revenue growth, and benefits from our disciplined cost management efforts. These results capped a productive year for RLJ in which we advanced a number of our strategic initiatives," commented Leslie D. Hale, President and Chief Executive Officer. “As we look ahead to 2026, we are cautiously optimistic given the positive setup for the broader economy and building blocks in place which should support lodging fundamentals. Against this backdrop, we believe our favorable footprint positions us to capture benefits from unique catalysts including the FIFA World Cup and America's 250th Anniversary celebrations in addition to the continued momentum of business and leisure demand in Urban markets, as well as the ongoing ramp from our recent conversions and renovations. Even as geopolitical uncertainty remains, these tailwinds, combined with our recently fortified balance sheet, give us confidence in our ability to unlock embedded value and enhance shareholder returns.”

Operational Update
Overall industry performance during the fourth quarter was impacted by the extended U.S. government shutdown that began on October 1, 2025, which disrupted otherwise positive demand trends that were expected in October and November. As a result, the Company's comparable RevPAR declined by 1.5%. Comparable non-room revenues increased 7.2%, reflecting the success of the Company’s return-on-investment initiatives and contributed to comparable total revenue growth of 0.2% over the prior year period. Fixed expenses during the quarter included $4.7 million of real estate tax credits.
Dispositions
During the fourth quarter of 2025, the Company sold two hotels for $49.5 million representing a 16.3x multiple on 2025 Hotel EBITDA, including required capital expenditures.
Share Repurchases
During 2025, the Company repurchased 3.3 million shares for approximately $28.6 million. The Company's share repurchase program currently has approximately $245.7 million of remaining capacity.

Balance Sheet
As of December 31, 2025, the Company had over $1.0 billion of total liquidity, comprising of approximately $410.2 million of unrestricted cash and $600.0 million available under its revolving credit facility ("Revolver"), and $2.2 billion of debt outstanding.
In December, the Company paid down $26.3 million of mortgage debt using proceeds from dispositions. Additionally, as previously announced, in February 2026 the Company completed the successful refinancing of all of its debt maturities through 2028, further laddering its debt maturity schedule and strengthening its balance sheet. The refinancing consists of four tranches including the extension of its Revolver, the upsize and recast of one of its existing term loans, the addition of a new seven-year term loan, as well as the refinancing of its secured debt maturing in 2026. The Company intends to use the incremental delayed draw proceeds from the term loans to repay its $500 million senior notes maturing in July 2026. Following these refinancing transactions, the Company’s next debt maturity is not until 2029.
Dividends
The Company’s Board of Trustees declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.15 per common share of beneficial interest of the Company in the fourth quarter. The dividend was paid on January 15, 2026 to shareholders of record as of December 31, 2025.
The Company's Board of Trustees declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.4875 on the Company’s Series A Preferred Shares in the fourth quarter. The dividend was paid on January 30, 2026 to shareholders of record as of December 31, 2025.

Additional Contacts:
Leslie D. Hale, President and Chief Executive Officer – (301) 280-7777
The Company considers the following non-GAAP financial measures useful to investors as key supplemental measures of its performance: (1) FFO, (2) Adjusted FFO, (3) EBITDA, (4) EBITDAre, (5) Adjusted EBITDA, (6) Hotel EBITDA, and (7) Hotel EBITDA Margin. These Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered along with, but not as alternatives to, net income or loss as a measure of its operating performance. FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA, EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDA, Hotel EBITDA, and Hotel EBITDA Margin, as calculated by the Company, may not be comparable to other companies that do not define such terms exactly as the Company defines such terms.
Funds From Operations (“FFO”)
The Company calculates Funds from Operations (“FFO”) in accordance with standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT, which defines FFO as net income or loss (calculated in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains or losses from sales of real estate, impairment, the cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles, plus depreciation and amortization, and adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Historical cost accounting for real estate assets implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values have instead historically risen or fallen with market conditions, most real estate industry investors consider FFO to be helpful in evaluating a real estate company’s operations. The Company believes that the presentation of FFO provides useful information to investors regarding the Company’s operating performance and can facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods and between real estate investment trusts (“REITs”), even though FFO does not represent an amount that accrues directly to common shareholders.
The Company’s calculation of FFO may not be comparable to measures calculated by other companies who do not use NAREIT's definition of FFO or do not calculate FFO per diluted share in accordance with NAREIT guidance. Additionally, FFO may not be helpful when comparing the Company to non-REITs. The Company presents FFO attributable to common shareholders, which includes unitholders of limited partnership interest (“OP units”) in RLJ Lodging Trust, L.P., the Company’s operating partnership, because the OP units may be redeemed for common shares of the Company. The Company believes it is meaningful for the investor to understand FFO attributable to all common shares and OP units.
EBITDA and EBITDAre
Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization (“EBITDA”) is defined as net income or loss excluding: (1) interest expense; (2) provision for income taxes, including income taxes applicable to sales of assets; and (3) depreciation and amortization expense. The Company considers EBITDA useful to an investor in evaluating and facilitating comparisons of its operating performance between periods and between REITs by removing the impact of its capital structure (primarily interest expense) and asset base (primarily depreciation and amortization expense) from its operating results. In addition, EBITDA is used as one measure in determining the value of hotel acquisitions and dispositions.
In addition to EBITDA, the Company presents EBITDAre in accordance with NAREIT guidelines, which defines EBITDAre as net income or loss (calculated in accordance with GAAP) excluding interest
5
expense, income tax benefit or expense, depreciation and amortization expense, gains or losses from sales of real estate, impairment, and adjustments for unconsolidated joint ventures. The Company believes that the presentation of EBITDAre provides useful information to investors regarding the Company's operating performance and can facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods and between REITs.
Adjustments to FFO and EBITDA
The Company adjusts FFO, EBITDA, and EBITDAre for certain items that the Company considers outside the normal course of operations. The Company believes that Adjusted FFO, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDAre provide useful supplemental information to investors regarding its ongoing operating performance that, when considered with net income or loss, FFO, EBITDA, and EBITDAre, are beneficial to an investor’s understanding of the Company's operating performance. The Company adjusts FFO, EBITDA, and EBITDAre for the following items:
•Transaction Costs: The Company excludes transaction costs expensed during the period
•Pre-Opening Costs: The Company excludes certain costs related to pre-opening of hotels
•Non-Cash Expenses: The Company excludes the effect of certain non-cash items such as the amortization of share-based compensation, non-cash income tax expense or benefit, and non-cash interest expense related to discontinued interest rate hedges
•Other Non-Operational Expenses: The Company excludes the effect of certain non-operational expenses representing income and expenses outside the normal course of operations
Hotel EBITDA and Hotel EBITDA Margin
With respect to Consolidated Hotel EBITDA, the Company believes that excluding the effect of corporate-level expenses and certain non-cash items provides a more complete understanding of the operating results over which individual hotels and operators have direct control. The Company believes property-level results provide investors with supplemental information about the ongoing operational performance of the Company’s hotels and the effectiveness of third-party management companies.
Comparable Hotel EBITDA and Comparable Hotel EBITDA margin include prior ownership information provided by the sellers of the hotels for periods prior to our acquisition of the hotels and excludes results from sold hotels as applicable. The following is a summary of Comparable hotel adjustments:
