OPENKEY UPDATE

benefits OpenKey offers, such as automated check-in (bypassing the front desk), keyless entry, and secure digital key capability, will continue to gain accelerated adoption and growth at hotels nationwide. OpenKey continues to see the benefits of this growth as utilization of digital keys increased more than 118% in the first quarter over the prior-year quarter. During the quarter, the Company acquired all of the redeemable noncontrolling interests in OpenKey for a purchase price of approximately $1.9 million that can be paid in cash or stock, at the Company's option, over a seven year period.
ASHFORD SECURITIES UPDATE
The Company formed Ashford Securities to raise capital as a dedicated capital raising platform to fund investment opportunities sponsored and asset-managed by Ashford. Types of capital raised may include, but are not limited to, non-traded preferred equity, non-traded convertible preferred equity, and non-traded REIT common equity (for future platforms). In the fourth quarter of 2019, Braemar announced that it had filed a registration statement for a non-traded preferred equity security via Ashford Securities. Additionally, Ashford Securities became a FINRA member firm in February 2020 and anticipates raising capital sometime during 2021. Longer term, the Company believes there is a substantial opportunity to offer differentiated alternative investment products through financial intermediaries to help investors further diversify their portfolios. Ashford Securities is not raising common equity for the Company nor for its existing advised platforms of Ashford Trust and Braemar.
REMINGTON UPDATE
Remington's high-margin, low-capex Hotel Management business continues to pursue third-party growth. Since beginning its effort to pursue third-party business, which started in the fourth quarter of 2019, Remington has signed seven third-party hotel management contracts. In the first quarter, Remington generated hotel management fee revenue of $4.5 million, Net Loss Attributable to the Company of $2.2 million, and Adjusted EBITDA of $1.5 million.
LISMORE CAPITAL UPDATE
During the first quarter of 2020, Ashford Trust and Braemar entered into agreements with Lismore Capital ('Lismore') for Lismore to seek modifications, forbearances or refinancings of Ashford's advised REITs' debt totaling approximately $5.1 billion across over 40 different loans. This was a critical effort in maintaining the advised REITs' viability during the pandemic. Lismore has been successful in obtaining forbearance and other agreements with the lenders for the advised REITs' loans totaling approximately 92% of their outstanding loan balances at the time of the engagement. Total revenue of $4.3 million was recognized during the first quarter associated with these agreements.
PREMIER PROJECT MANAGEMENT UPDATE
Premier Project Management ('Premier') provides comprehensive and cost-effective architecture, design, development, and project management services. It also provides project oversight, coordination, planning, and execution of renovation, capital expenditure or ground-up development projects. Its operations are responsible for managing and implementing substantially all capital improvements at Ashford Trust and Braemar hotels. Additionally, it has extensive experience working with many of the major hotel brands in the areas of renovating, converting, developing or repositioning hotels. Similar to Remington, Premier has also made a concerted effort to grow its third-party business. Since the beginning of that effort, the company has signed 15 third-party deals for project management services. In the first quarter, Premier generated $1.5 million of project management fee revenue, Net Loss Attributable to the Company of $2.4 million, and $(122,000) of Adjusted EBITDA.
JSAV UPDATE
JSAV provides an integrated suite of audio visual services, including show and event services, hospitality services, creative services, and design and integration, making JSAV a leading single-source solution for

its clients' meeting and event needs. During the first quarter of 2021, JSAV had revenue of $3.6 million, Net Income Attributable to the Company of $307,000, and Adjusted EBITDA of $(1.4) million.
RED HOSPITALITY & LEISURE UPDATE
The Company currently owns an 84% interest in RED Hospitality & Leisure ('RED Hospitality'). RED Hospitality is a leading provider of watersports activities and other travel and transportation services in the U.S. Virgin Islands ('USVI') and Florida. RED Hospitality currently provides beach, watersports and excursion services, and ferry services in the USVI and Key West, Florida. RED Hospitality has several potential avenues for future growth including opportunities to expand into other hotels at Ashford-advised REITs or non-Ashford hotels in the USVI, elsewhere in the Caribbean, and in the U.S. In the first quarter, RED Hospitality generated $4.6 million of revenue, Net Income Attributable to the Company of $410,000, and $1.1 million of Adjusted EBITDA. First quarter revenue growth was 38% compared to the prior-year period.
PURE ROOMS UPDATE
The Company currently owns a 70% controlling interest in Pure Wellness ('Pure'), a leading provider of hypo-allergenic hotel rooms in the United States. Its Pure Rooms offering utilizes state-of-the-art purification technology to create allergy-friendly guestrooms. Pure has also recently expanded into the commercial office industry and has signed up 13 offices to date to convert to Pure Office.
As the hospitality industry strives to implement measures to provide a clean and safe environment for guests, the Company expects that the health and wellness benefits Pure offers - including its air purification technology - will gain accelerated adoption and growth at hotels nationwide. Pure transforms interior spaces into world-class wellness environments that protect against viral and bacterial contaminants and promote overall wellbeing.

'We're confident that the Ashford group of companies is well-positioned to capitalize on the upcoming recovery in the hospitality industry, and we remain focused on their future strategic objectives,' commented Jeremy J. Welter, Ashford's President and Chief Operating Officer. 'Ashford has an unwavering commitment to protect value for our shareholders, and we believe the proactive and disciplined actions we have undertaken reflect that commitment. Looking at our advised platforms, our REITs have stabilized and, with Braemar's luxury portfolio being the highest quality portfolio in the public markets and Trust's geographically diverse portfolio, both companies performed well to start the year and are poised for further growth in 2021. Other areas of our business, like OpenKey, Pure Rooms and RED Hospitality, are also benefitting from a strong increase in demand, while Remington and Premier both realized solid third-party business growth during the quarter. Looking ahead, we remain focused on our unique investment strategy to strategically invest in operating companies that service the hospitality industry and act as an accelerator to grow these companies. With our talented and dedicated management team, along with our long-term strategy on finding growth opportunities in our business, I am excited about our future.'

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.
This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any securities. Securities will be offered only by means of a registration statement and prospectus which can be found at www.sec.gov.
