Third Quarter Operating Income Increased 90.3% to $16.3 Million; Adjusted EBITDAre Increased 11.8% to $43.9 Million
Third Quarter Pro Forma RevPAR Increased 7.2%, Driving a 14.4% Increase in Pro Forma Hotel EBITDA
AUSTIN, Texas, Nov. 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Summit Hotel Properties, Inc. (NYSE: INN) (the "Company"), today announced results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026.
"We delivered outstanding third quarter results that exceeded expectations as operating fundamentals accelerated meaningfully during the quarter. Pro forma RevPAR increased 7.2 percent year-over-year driven by broad based demand growth and pricing power, particularly midweek in our urban markets. Our teams capitalized on this favorable operating backdrop to drive exceptional profitability growth as pro forma hotel EBITDA increased 14.4 percent with margins expanding nearly 200 basis points year-over-year. Growth in our portfolio was strong across the vast majority of markets and all demand segments, led by the accelerating recovery in business transient travel and the ongoing strength of group demand. Our outlook for the industry broadly and Summit specifically continues to improve. Based on our strong third quarter results and increased expectations for the fourth quarter, we have again raised our full year 2026 guidance ranges to reflect the positive momentum in our business," said Jonathan Stanner, President and Chief Executive Officer.
"We also continue to enhance our balance sheet and reduce borrowing costs. During the quarter, we repriced two term loan facilities totaling $475 million of borrowings, lowering the applicable interest rate by 20 basis points on those facilities. This follows the previous pricing reduction of our primary $650 million corporate revolving and term loan facility. We have no debt maturities until 2028 and approximately $350 million of liquidity, which positions the Company well for future growth," continued Mr. Stanner.

The Company's results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025 are as follows (in thousands, except per share amounts and metrics):
Transaction Activity
In July 2026, the Company completed the sale of the wholly-owned 103-guestroom Courtyard by Marriott, Dallas (Arlington South), TX and the 96-guestroom Residence Inn by Marriott, Dallas (Arlington South), TX for a combined selling price of $19.0 million. The combined sale price represents a 5.9 percent capitalization rate based on the net operating income for the trailing twelve months ended June 30, 2026, and after consideration of approximately $7.6 million of foregone near-term required capital expenditures.
Since 2023, the Company and its affiliates have sold 15 hotels for a combined sales price of approximately $219.0 million at a blended capitalization rate of approximately 4.7 percent, inclusive of an estimated $67.6 million of foregone capital needs, based on the trailing twelve-month net operating income at the time of each sale. The combined RevPAR for the sold hotels was $86, which is an approximate 30 percent discount to the current pro forma portfolio.
Capital Markets Activity
In September 2026, the Company amended its $200 Million Term Loan Facility and $275 Million Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility to conform the pricing grids and other material terms of these facilities with those of its recently amended $650 Million Senior Credit Facility.
Pursuant to the amended pricing grids, borrowings under the $200 Million Term Loan Facility and the $275 Million Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility bear interest at rates ranging from 135 to 225 basis points over the applicable adjusted Term SOFR rate. Based on the Company's leverage as of September 30, 2026, these amendments resulted in an initial 20 basis point reduction in the applicable interest rate. Furthermore, due to a reduction in the Company's quarter-end trailing twelve-month leverage ratio, the Company achieved an additional 15 basis point reduction in the interest rate spread across $675 million of term loan debt. Compared to the Company's pre-amendment pricing grid and June 30, 2026 leverage ratio, these spread reductions are expected to generate annual interest expense savings of approximately $2.4 million.
In connection with the amendment to the $200 Million Term Loan Facility, the initial maturity date was extended to February 2028. The Company retains the option, subject to certain conditions, to further extend the maturity date for up to two additional six-month periods.
Balance Sheet Summary
As of September 30, 2026, the Company's balance sheet reflected the following:
- Pro rata outstanding debt of $1.1 billion with a weighted average interest rate of 5.50 percent. After giving effect to interest rate derivative agreements, $539.1 million, or 51 percent, of our outstanding debt had a fixed interest rate, and $520.0 million, or 49 percent, had a variable interest rate.
- Pro rata unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $51.9 million.
