Forward guidance

SVC's forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, and actual results may differ materially from those projected.

Tailwinds

  • SVC believes it has the ability to withstand the current economic downturn because of its strong balance sheet, liquidity and agreements with its hotel operators and net lease tenants.
  • SVC has taken steps to preserve capital until economic activity improves.
  • SVC is working closely with its hotel operators to identify ways to optimally reduce operating costs and working with its net lease tenants whose businesses are temporarily closed due to government mandates or guidelines, on alternative rent arrangements in order to help them withstand the crisis.
  • SVC's current expectation is that it may experience fewer hotel closures relative to some of its peers because of the larger mix of suburban extended stay and select service hotels that comprise SVC’s hotel portfolio.
  • SVC obtained a limited waiver of certain financial covenants through March 2021.

Headwinds

  • If the COVID-19 pandemic or the current economic conditions continue for an extended period or worsen, SVC’s operators’ and tenants’ businesses, operations and cash positions may be materially and adversely impacted and result in some of them being unable to pay rents and returns to us or in continuing as going concerns.
  • If the COVID-19 pandemic or the current economic conditions continue for an extended period or worsen, SVC's actions to preserve capital may not be adequate to ensure that SVC maintains sufficient liquidity.
  • Rent deferrals SVC agrees to may be insufficient and those tenants may continue to be unable or unwilling to pay amounts owed to SVC, including the deferred rent, and they may fail to continue as going concerns.
  • SVC may fail to satisfy additional covenants contained in its credit agreement or fail to satisfy its public debt covenants.
  • Based on SVC’s current estimates, SVC projects that it will exhaust all of the security deposits and most of the guarantees its hotel operators have provided by as early as the second quarter of 2020.
