RLJ IS WELL-POSITIONED

RLJ has the liquidity and balance sheet strength to weather the COVID-19 crisis, relative advantage in a recovery and embedded catalysts to outperform long-term

  • Successful execution of our 2019 priorities improved our portfolio and strengthened our balance sheet
  • Proactively responded to COVID-19, initially suspending operations at 57 hotels and subsequently pivoting to reopening 90% of the portfolio
  • Reduced cash burn driven by hotel reopenings, better than expected revenues and effective cost containment
  • Transient-orientedportfolio, lean operating model and broad geographic diversification positions RLJ to outperform during recovery
  • Strong liquidity, well-laddered debt maturities and covenant flexibility
  • Embedded long-term growth catalysts such as Wyndham conversions, ROI projects and capital market opportunities remain intact

We remain confident that despite COVID-19's unprecedented impact on lodging, our balance

sheet allows us to navigate through this crisis and be well-positioned for a recovery
