Pebblebrook Hotel Trust (NYSE: PEB):

BALANCE SHEET & LIQUIDITY	Generated positive Adjusted EBITDAre in Q2 and positive corporate cash flow in June; expect positive Adjusted Funds from Operations (“AFFO”) in Q3 Completed offerings of its $230.0 million, new 6.375% Series G and $250.0 million, new 5.7% Series H Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares (“Preferred Equity”), generating $480.0 million of gross proceeds Announced the redemptions of its 6.5% Series C and 6.375% Series D Preferred Equity totaling $250.0 million As of June 30, 2021, total liquidity of $967.2 million, including $323.0 million of cash on hand and $644.2 million available on the $650.0 million credit facility Net debt to depreciated book value at the end of Q2 2021: 37%

2021 OUTLOOK	Given the uncertainties related to the COVID-19 pandemic, its impact on travel, and variable and unpredictable government restrictions, the Company is unable to provide an outlook for 2021 at this time For Q3 2021, the Company expects both Same-Property Room Revenues⁽¹⁾ and Total Revenues⁽¹⁾ to be down between (38%) and (42%) compared to Q3 2019, much improved from Q1 2021 and Q2 2021

⁽¹⁾See tables later in this press release for a description of Same-Property information and reconciliations from net income (loss) to non-GAAP financial measures used in the table above and elsewhere in this press release.

"Hotel demand was significantly stronger than expected during the second quarter, increasing substantially each month. This enabled us to generate significant positive Same-Property Hotel EBITDA of $28.3 million, the first quarter of positive Hotel EBITDA since the COVID-19 pandemic began. The return of travel and hotel demand has occurred more rapidly than we forecast just 90 days ago, led by very robust leisure travel. We also experienced steadily increasing business transient demand during the quarter. In addition, we have seen a significant increase in group leads, site visits, and group bookings for the fall and winter months, as well as for 2022. As a result of the accelerating recovery in travel and hotel demand, we achieved positive free cash flow in June, much earlier than we previously anticipated. We also made great progress reallocating capital from our recent property dispositions into new investment opportunities. The acquisition of Jekyll Island Club Resort and the expected acquisition of Margaritaville Hollywood Beach Resort should generate immediate positive cash flow with significant future property-related growth opportunities.”

-Jon E. Bortz, Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer of Pebblebrook Hotel Trust

“Our resorts benefited from the surge in leisure travel, which accelerated throughout the quarter,” noted Mr. Bortz. “Compared with the second quarter of 2019, ADR at our resorts increased by a whopping 38% and RevPAR at our resorts increased by 16%. This allowed our resorts to generate Hotel EBITDA 17.5% higher and Hotel EBITDA margins more than 615 basis points better than the second quarter of 2019, an impressive accomplishment in this environment. Although a shortage of hotel workers continues to be a challenge throughout our portfolio, we have adapted through various initiatives, including expanded use of technology, increased cross-training, increased voluntary overtime, and managers broadening their job functions. We believe the labor challenges in our industry are mostly temporary in nature and should lessen as the year progresses, particularly in September.”

Capital Investments and Strategic Property Redevelopments

In the second quarter of 2021, the Company completed $17.4 million of capital investments throughout its portfolio, including the completion of the $11.7 million redevelopment of L’Auberge Del Mar. The Company has completed $27.0 million of capital investments and projects year to date through June 2021. The Company expects to invest a total of $70.0 to $90.0 million during 2021, including investments for the following redevelopments and repositioning projects that the Company believes will generate significant growth and returns:

Southernmost Beach Resort (estimated at $15.0 million), a comprehensive guestroom renovation, including all case goods, soft goods and bathrooms, including tub to shower conversions. The renovation commenced in July 2021, and is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2021;

Hotel Vitale (estimated at $25.0 million), a total transformation to the sustainability-focused, mission-driven, and luxury experiential 1 Hotel San Francisco, which will offer nature-inspired designs and environmentally focused aesthetics throughout guestrooms and suites, public areas, and meeting and event venues. The redevelopment began in July 2021, and the hotel will remain closed until the redevelopment’s targeted completion at year-end; and

Grafton on Sunset (estimated at $5.5 million), a comprehensive redevelopment of the hotel’s indoor and outdoor public areas and suites and a refresh of guestrooms, expected to commence in the fourth quarter of 2021 and be completed in the first quarter of 2022 when it is renamed, repositioned and becomes part of the Company’s Unofficial Z Collection.

As plans are completed and governmental approvals are received, the Company will evaluate commencing additional previously planned major renovation and repositioning projects later in 2021.

Update on Strategic Acquisitions

On June 23, 2021, the Company announced that it executed a contract to acquire the 369-room Margaritaville Hollywood Beach Resort in Hollywood, Florida, for $270.0 million. The acquisition is anticipated to be funded from existing cash on hand and is targeted to be completed by the end of the third quarter of 2021. As part of the acquisition, the Company may assume up to $161.5 million of secured, non-recourse debt currently in place. The purchase is subject to customary closing conditions, and the Company offers no assurances that this acquisition will be completed on these terms or at all.

On July 22, 2021, the Company acquired the iconic Jekyll Island Club Resort for $94.0 million. The historic resort features 200 guestrooms and suites with modern amenities featuring beautiful beaches, two pools, numerous restaurants and bars, low-country landscaping, spectacular photogenic event lawns, island-wide bike paths, historical tours and family activities on one of Georgia’s Golden Isles.

Update on Strategic Dispositions

On April 1, 2021, the Company completed the sale of Sir Francis Drake in San Francisco, California for $157.6 million of net proceeds.

On July 27, 2021, the Company closed on its offering of $250.0 million of its new 5.70% Series H Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares. Proceeds from this offering will be used to fully redeem the $125.0 million 6.50% Series C Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares and the $125.0 million 6.375% Series D Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares, reducing the Company’s annualized preferred equity dividends by approximately $1.8 million.

The Company had $2.3 billion in consolidated unsecured debt and convertible notes at an effective weighted-average interest rate of 3.3 percent. Approximately $2.2 billion, or 98 percent of the Company’s total outstanding debt and convertible notes, was at a weighted-average fixed interest rate of 3.4 percent, and approximately $57.0 million, or 2 percent, was at a weighted-average floating interest rate of 2.1 percent. The Company had $1.5 billion of unsecured term loans, and there was no outstanding balance on its $650.0 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility. The Company has no significant loans maturing until the fourth quarter of 2022.

This press release includes certain non-GAAP financial measures. These measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative to, measures prepared in accordance with GAAP and may be different from similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with the Company’s results of operations determined in accordance with GAAP.

Funds from Operations (“FFO”) - FFO represents net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains or losses from sales of properties, plus real estate-related depreciation and amortization and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships. The Company considers FFO a useful measure of performance for an equity REIT because it facilitates an understanding of the Company's operating performance without giving effect to real estate depreciation and amortization, which assume that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, the Company believes that FFO provides a meaningful indication of its performance. The Company also considers FFO an appropriate performance measure given its wide use by investors and analysts. The Company computes FFO in accordance with standards established by the Board of Governors of Nareit in its March 1995 White Paper (as amended in November 1999 and April 2002), which may differ from the methodology for calculating FFO utilized by other equity REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to that of other REITs. Further, FFO does not represent amounts available for management’s discretionary use because of needed capital replacement or expansion, debt service obligations or other commitments and uncertainties, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund the Company’s cash needs, including its ability to make distributions. The Company presents FFO per diluted share calculations that are based on the outstanding dilutive common shares plus the outstanding Operating Partnership units for the periods presented.

The Company also evaluates its performance by reviewing Adjusted FFO because it believes that adjusting FFO to exclude certain recurring and non-recurring items described below provides useful supplemental information regarding the Company's ongoing operating performance and that the presentation of Adjusted FFO, when combined with the primary GAAP presentation of net income (loss), more completely describes the Company's operating performance. The Company adjusts FFO available to common share and unit holders for the following items, which may occur in any period, and refers to this measure as Adjusted FFO:

- Transaction costs: The Company excludes transaction costs expensed during the period because it believes that including these costs in FFO does not reflect the underlying financial performance of the Company and its hotels.

- Non-cash ground rent: The Company excludes the non-cash ground rent expense, which is primarily made up of the straight-line rent impact from a ground lease.

- Management/franchise contract transition costs: The Company excludes one-time management and/or franchise contract transition costs expensed during the period because it believes that including these costs in FFO does not reflect the underlying financial performance of the Company and its hotels.

- Interest expense adjustment for acquired liabilities: The Company excludes interest expense adjustment for acquired liabilities assumed in connection with acquisitions, because it believes that including these non-cash adjustments in FFO does not reflect the underlying financial performance of the Company.

- Finance lease adjustment: The Company excludes the effect of non-cash interest expense from finance leases because it believes that including these non-cash adjustments in FFO does not reflect the underlying financial performance of the Company.

- Non-cash amortization of acquired intangibles: The Company excludes the non-cash amortization of acquired intangibles, which includes but is not limited to the amortization of favorable and unfavorable leases or management agreements and above/below market real estate tax reduction agreements because it believes that including these non-cash adjustments in FFO does not reflect the underlying financial performance of the Company.

- Non-cash interest expense, one-time operation suspension expenses, non-cash canceled share-based compensation and early extinguishment of debt: The Company excludes these items because the Company believes that including these adjustments in FFO does not reflect the underlying financial performance of the Company and its hotels.

The Company’s presentation of FFO in accordance with the Nareit White Paper, and as adjusted by the Company, should not be considered as an alternative to net income (computed in accordance with GAAP) as an indicator of the Company’s financial performance or to cash flow from operating activities (computed in accordance with GAAP) as an indicator of its liquidity.

Earnings before Interest, Taxes, and Depreciation and Amortization ("EBITDA") - The Company believes that EBITDA provides investors a useful financial measure to evaluate its operating performance, excluding the impact of our capital structure (primarily interest expense) and our asset base (primarily depreciation and amortization).

Earnings before Interest, Taxes, and Depreciation and Amortization for Real Estate ("EBITDAre") - The Company believes that EBITDAre provides investors a useful financial measure to evaluate its operating performance, and the Company presents EBITDAre in accordance with Nareit guidelines, as defined in its September 2017 white paper "Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization for Real Estate." EBITDAre adjusts EBITDA for the following items, which may occur in any period, and refers to these measures as Adjusted EBITDAre: (1) gains or losses on the disposition of depreciated property, including gains or losses on change of control; (2) impairment write-downs of depreciated property and of investments in unconsolidated affiliates caused by a decrease in value of depreciated property in the affiliate; and (3) adjustments to reflect the entity's share of EBITDAre of unconsolidated affiliates.

The Company also evaluates its performance by reviewing Adjusted EBITDAre because it believes that adjusting EBITDAre to exclude certain recurring and non-recurring items described below provides useful supplemental information regarding the Company's ongoing operating performance and that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDAre, when combined with the primary GAAP presentation of net income (loss), more completely describes the Company's operating performance. The Company adjusts EBITDAre for the following items, which may occur in any period, and refers to these measures as Adjusted EBITDAre:

- Transaction costs: The Company excludes transaction costs expensed during the period because it believes that including these costs in EBITDAre does not reflect the underlying financial performance of the Company and its hotels.

- Non-cash ground rent: The Company excludes the non-cash ground rent expense, which is primarily made up of the straight-line rent impact from a ground lease.

- Management/franchise contract transition costs: The Company excludes one-time management and/or franchise contract transition costs expensed during the period because it believes that including these costs in EBITDAre does not reflect the underlying financial performance of the Company and its hotels.

- Non-cash amortization of acquired intangibles: The Company excludes the non-cash amortization of acquired intangibles, which includes but is not limited to the amortization of favorable and unfavorable leases or management agreements and above/below market real estate tax reduction agreements because it believes that including these non-cash adjustments in EBITDAre does not reflect the underlying financial performance of the Company and its hotels.

- One-time operation suspension expenses and non-cash canceled share-based compensation: The Company excludes these items because it believes that including these costs in EBITDAre does not reflect the underlying financial performance of the Company and its hotels.

The Company’s presentation of EBITDAre, and as adjusted by the Company, should not be considered as an alternative to net income (computed in accordance with GAAP) as an indicator of the Company’s financial performance or to cash flow from operating activities (computed in accordance with GAAP) as an indicator of its liquidity.
