The company generated $29.5 million of operating cash flow and $197.1 million from asset sales but used $222.0 million in financing cash flows, mainly to repay debt.
Ashford ended the quarter with $79.8 million of cash and $141.2 million of restricted cash, $2.6 billion of total assets and $3.0 billion of liabilities, resulting in a stockholders’ deficit of $695.2 million. Management disclosed substantial doubt about the company’s ability to continue as a going concern, citing $1.9 billion of non‑recourse loans maturing within one year and potential advisory termination fees. Preferred dividends, including on Series D, F, G, H, I, J, K, L and M shares, have been suspended and are accruing in arrears.

Comparable RevPAR rose 3.3% to $135.63 on higher rates and occupancy, and comparable Hotel EBITDA increased 5.2% to $73.2 million, indicating better hotel-level profitability.
Despite this, the company posted a net loss attributable to common stockholders of $71.1 million, or $11.03 per diluted share, driven in part by $112.6 million of impairment charges. Adjusted EBITDAre was $51.7 million, and adjusted FFO was near breakeven. Ashford ended the quarter with $79.8 million of cash and $141.2 million of restricted cash, against $2.4 billion of loans at a blended 7.9% interest rate, with 94% floating.
The company is actively shrinking and reshaping its portfolio, closing seven hotel sales for $296.5 million in gross proceeds and signing definitive agreements to sell six more hotels for $154.6 million, which also reduce anticipated capital expenditures. However, management reiterated that, given tight refinancing conditions and the need to address near‑term loan maturities, it does not anticipate resuming preferred dividends or redemptions in the near term, and common dividends remain suspended.

Ashford Hospitality Trust, Inc. is advancing its portfolio optimization strategy by selling six hotels. It has closed sales of four properties for $252.5 million in gross proceeds, or $280,000 per key, and signed definitive agreements to sell two additional hotels.
For the four closed hotels, including anticipated capital expenditures of $57.6 million, the sale price reflects a 6.0% capitalization rate on net operating income and a 14.5x Hotel EBITDA multiple for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025. Excluding that capital spend, the metrics are a 7.4% cap rate and 11.8x EBITDA.

Management expects the six sales to reduce portfolio leverage, improve cash flow after debt service, and avoid more than $60 million of future capital expenditures, with most proceeds used to pay down mortgage debt.
