“In 2024, AHIP made significant progress on our
plan to reduce debt and high-grade the portfolio through asset
sales and loan refinancings,” said Jonathan Korol, CEO. “AHIP
completed the disposition of 16 hotel properties in 2024 for total
gross proceeds of $165.2 million. These dispositions are expected
to result in an improvement to overall portfolio asset quality with
a pro forma increase in RevPAR, NOI margin and EBITDA per
hotel.
As of the date of this news release, AHIP
completed the dispositions of 3 hotel properties for total gross
proceeds of $41.2 million in 2025, and AHIP has 8 hotel properties
under purchase and sales agreements for estimated total gross
proceeds of $32.3 million. AHIP also completed several refinancings
in the first quarter for total gross proceeds of $144.3 million
which resulted in the full repayment of AHIP’s senior credit
facility.
Dispositions completed and under contract in
2024 and 2025 have a combined Cap Rate (1) of 7.0%, demonstrating
value beyond AHIP’s current trading levels on its remaining assets.
As a result of our disposition and refinancing efforts, AHIP will
have no debt maturing until the fourth quarter of 2026. We will
continue to monitor macroeconomic conditions and operating
performance, while considering further strategic opportunities to
deliver value to unitholders over the long term.”
2024 REVIEW
FINANCIAL AND OPERATIONAL
HIGHLIGHTS
For the year ended December 31, 2024, ADR
increased 2.3% to $134, and occupancy increased by 220 bps to
70.9%. Overall, improved ADR and occupancy resulted in an increase
of 5.6% in RevPAR to $95, compared to the year ended December 31,
2023. This result is attributable to higher demand for extended
stay and select service properties, as well as the disposition of
hotel properties with lower-than-average portfolio RevPAR.
NOI and normalized NOI (1) were $73.4 million
and $73.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, decreases
of 11.9% and 15.0%, respectively, compared to NOI and normalized
NOI of $83.4 million and $86.9 million for the year ended December
31, 2023. The decrease in NOI and normalized NOI was primarily due
to the disposition of the 16 hotel properties completed in
2024.
NOI margin was 28.6% in the current year, a
decrease of 110 bps compared to 29.7% for the prior year. The
decrease in NOI margin was due to higher operating expenses as a
result of general cost inflation, increased salaries and repair and
maintenance expenses. Although certain operating expenses are
expected to remain a challenge in 2025, the year-over-year NOI
margin decline has improved to 110 bps in 2024 from 200 bps in
2023.
AHIP completed its property insurance renewal
effective June 1, 2024, with a decrease in premiums compared to the
prior period ended May 31, 2024. On an annualized basis, the
decrease from the prior period is approximately $1.6 million, which
will be recognized in earnings over a twelve-month period.
Diluted FFO per unit and normalized diluted FFO
per unit for the year ended December 31, 2024, were $0.21 and
$0.19, respectively, compared to diluted FFO per unit of $0.48 and
normalized diluted FFO per unit of $0.36 for the year ended
December 31, 2023. The decrease in diluted FFO per unit and
normalized diluted FFO per unit was mainly due to lower NOI and
higher financing costs, partially offset by lower corporate and
administrative expenses in the current year.

In the fourth quarter of 2024, same property ADR
was $131, an increase of 0.8% compared to the same period in the
prior year. Same property occupancy increased by 240 bps to 69.8%
in the current quarter, compared to the same period of 2023. The
increase in ADR and occupancy is primarily attributable to higher
demand for extended stay and select service properties. Overall,
the improved ADR and occupancy contributed to an increase of 5.7%
in RevPAR.
Same property NOI increased 3.9% and same
property NOI margin decreased by 30 bps in the current quarter,
compared to the same period of 2023. The increase in same property
NOI was mainly due to improved performance for hotels disrupted in
2023 by the weather-related damage in December 2022, and higher
demand for extended stay and select service properties. The
decrease in NOI margin was due to higher operating expenses as a
result of general cost inflation, increased salaries and repair and
maintenance expenses.

December 31, 2023. Debt to EBITDA as at December 31, 2024 was 8.0x,
a decrease of 2.5x compared to December 31, 2023. The improvement
in debt to gross book value and debt to EBITDA was due to the use
of net proceeds from the completed dispositions to pay down CMBS
mortgage debt as well as the term loans governed by the Sixth
Amendment (defined below).
As at December 31, 2024, AHIP had $42.9 million
in available liquidity, compared to $27.8 million as at December
31, 2023. The available liquidity as at December 31, 2024 of $42.9
million was comprised of an unrestricted cash balance of $27.9
million and borrowing availability of $15.0 million under the
revolving credit facility. AHIP had an additional restricted cash
balance of $24.7 million as at December 31, 2024. As at March 28,
2025, AHIP had an unrestricted cash balance of approximately $13.1
million and a restricted cash balance of approximately $29.1
million.
NON-CASH IMPAIRMENT CHARGES
For the three months ended December 31, 2024,
the Company recognized non-cash impairment charges of $21.2 million
related to 15 hotel properties, and impairment reversal charges of
$1.6 million related to 3 hotel properties. For the twelve months
ended December 31, 2024, the Company recognized non-cash impairment
charges of $32.6 million related to 21 hotel properties, and
impairment reversal charges of $1.6 million related to 3 hotel
properties. The impaired hotels are primarily located in Kentucky,
Oklahoma and Pennsylvania, and the hotels with impairment reversal
charges are located in New Jersey, Texas and Maryland. AHIP
completed the valuation process based on external appraisals,
purchase and sales agreements, recent market transactions and
internal valuations of hotel properties. The impairment charges and
impairment charges reversal are primarily due to revised
expectations on the timeframe for hotel properties to achieve
stabilized income levels, higher operating costs, challenges with
AHIP’s hotel managers’ ability to optimize cashflow, and local
competition factors in select markets.

During the year ended December 31, 2024, AHIP
completed the dispositions of 16 hotel properties for total gross
proceeds of $165.2 million. After adjusting for an industry
standard 4% FF&E reserve, the combined sales price for the 16
hotel properties sold in 2024 represents a blended Cap Rate of 7.0%
on 2023 annual hotel EBITDA. The net proceeds from these
dispositions were used to repay certain CMBS mortgage loans and
reduce debt. AHIP’s enterprise value (1) as at December 31,
2024 reflects an implied Cap Rate of 9.0% on 2023 annual hotel
EBITDA for the portfolio of 49 hotel properties, based on the U.S.
dollar closing price of US$0.48 per unit on the TSX on December 31,
2024.
In March 2025, AHIP completed the dispositions
of 3 hotel properties for total gross proceeds of $41.2 million. As
of the date of this news release, AHIP has 8 hotel properties under
purchase and sales agreements for estimated total gross proceeds of
$32.3 million (see “Dispositions Under Contract” table below).
These dispositions are currently estimated to close in the second
quarter of 2025. AHIP intends to use the net proceeds from these
dispositions to repay certain CMBS mortgage loans and reduce
debt.

INITIATIVES TO STRENGTHEN FINANCIAL
POSITION AND PRESERVE UNITHOLDER VALUE
The Board of Directors (the
“Board”), together with management, have
implemented a plan to strengthen AHIP’s financial position and to
preserve unitholder value. Initiatives, and progress made to date,
are outlined below.
EXTENSION OF CREDIT FACILITY AND TERM
LOANS
On December 3, 2024, AHIP satisfied the
conditions in the credit agreement governing its senior credit
facility (the “Sixth Amendment”) for the extension
of the maturity date for the revolving credit facility (the
“Credit Facility Revolver” or
“RCF”) and term loans governed thereby
(“Credit Facility Term Loan”), which primary
conditions included: (i) reduction of the aggregate maximum
facility size to $148.2 million from and after December 3, 2024;
(ii) obtaining updated appraisals for the 16 hotel properties then
secured by the Sixth Amendment (the “Borrowing Base
Properties”) in order to determine the value of such
properties for purposes of setting the maximum borrowing
availability under the Sixth Amendment, which was set based on a
maximum loan to value ratio of 67.5%; and (iii) compliance with the
terms of the Sixth Amendment at the time of the extension, which
included among other things compliance with financial covenants
including payout ratio and fixed charge coverage ratio. On December
3, 2024, the balance of the Credit Facility was reduced to $133.2
million. As at December 31, 2024, the total appraised value of the
16 Borrowing Base Properties was $249.2 million, which resulted in
a loan-to-value ratio of 53.4%. The balance of RCF and term loans
pursuant to the Sixth Amendment was $127.7 million as of December
31, 2024, and nil as of the date of this news release,
respectively.
2025 REFINANCING AND REPAYMENT OF RCF
AND TERM LOANS
On January 27, 2025, AHIP completed an interest
only, CMBS refinancing for five hotel properties with total gross
proceeds of $43.0 million (the “CMBS Loan”). The CMBS Loan has a
five-year term and bears interest at a fixed annual interest rate
of 7.63%. Four of the five hotel properties secured by the
CMBS Loan were Borrowing Base Properties and the fifth hotel
property was unencumbered prior to the completion of this CMBS
Loan. The aggregate balance of the Credit Facility Revolver
and Credit Facility Term Loan was reduced to $89.3 million as a
result of the pay down following the completion of this new CMBS
Loan as well as the application of a portion of the net proceeds
from previously announced hotel dispositions that closed in
December 2024.
On March 7, 2025, AHIP completed an interest
only, non-recourse debt refinancing and repayment in full of its
Credit Facility Revolver and Credit Facility Term Loan governed by
the Sixth Amendment. The initial gross loan proceeds were $85.0
million secured against 11 hotel properties, with additional
advances of up to $41.0 million available, comprised of $16.3
million upon the addition of a further hotel property and up to
$24.7 million for renovations and improvements to these 12 hotel
properties (the “Portfolio Loan”).
AHIP used the initial net proceeds from the
Portfolio Loan to fully repay the outstanding balance under the
Credit Facility Revolver and Credit Facility Term Loan governed by
the Sixth Amendment, and these facilities have been terminated. The
initial 11 hotel properties secured by the Portfolio Loan were
previously secured under the Sixth Amendment. The Portfolio Loan
has an initial principal amount of $85.0 million, a two-year term
with the option to extend the term for another one-year period
subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, and bears
interest at SOFR plus 4.65% per annum.
On March 27, 2025, AHIP added the further hotel
property to the Portfolio Loan with additional gross loan proceeds
of $16.3 million. The net proceeds from this refinancing and the
dispositions of the 3 hotel properties in March 2025, were used to
fully repay the CMBS mortgage loan of $55.2 million secured by
these 4 hotel properties.
For further details, see a copy of the agreement
governing the Portfolio Loan, which has been filed under AHIP’s
profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.com.
CMBS LOAN MATURITIES
AHIP has made significant progress with its plan
to address the Company’s upcoming debt maturities. These efforts
continue to improve leverage metrics.
During the year ended December 31, 2024, AHIP
completed the dispositions of 16 properties for total gross
proceeds of $165.2 million. These dispositions resulted in total
debt repayment of $139.8 million which includes CMBS mortgage loan
repayment of $84.4 million, and repayments of $55.4 million to the
term loans governed by the Sixth Amendment.
To address Q3 2025 CMBS loan maturities of $30.5
million, AHIP entered into agreements in January 2025 to dispose of
8 hotel properties located in Chickasha, Oklahoma, Bethany,
Oklahoma, Dubuque, Iowa, Nevada, Missouri, Mattoon, Illinois,
Emporia, Kansas, and South Jacksonville, Illinois for total gross
proceeds of $32.3 million. These dispositions are currently
estimated to close in the second quarter of 2025.
Upon the completion of these dispositions and
repayment of related CMBS mortgages loans, AHIP will not have any
debt maturing until the fourth quarter of 2026.
AMENDMENT OF THE MASTER HOTEL MANAGEMENT
AGREEMENT WITH REDUCED AND DEFERRED FEES
On September 30, 2023, with a retroactive
effective date of July 1, 2023, AHIP entered into a third amendment
to its master hotel management agreement with One Lodging
Management LLC (an affiliate of Aimbridge Hospitality LLC) (the
“Amendment”).
In accordance with the Amendment, the management
fee on certain hotel properties has been reduced or deferred. The
fees in the years 2027 through 2032 will be slightly higher to
offset the fee deferral in the first three years. The cash savings
in 2024 were $3.1 million, and the cumulative cash savings since
the Amendment to December 31, 2024 were $5.3 million, which savings
are comprised of fee reductions and fee deferrals.
NORMAL COURSE ISSUER BID AND AUTOMATIC
SECURITIES PURCHASE PLAN
In December 2024, the TSX accepted AHIP’s notice
of intention to make a normal course issuer bid (the
“NCIB”). The notice provides that AHIP may, during
the twelve-month period commencing December 30, 2024 and ending
December 29, 2025, purchase up to 7,521,189 AHIP’s Units trading
under the symbols HOT.UN and HOT.U, representing 10% of the “public
float” (as defined in the TSX Company Manual) as of December 19,
2024. AHIP also entered into an Automatic Securities Purchase Plan
(“ASPP”) with a designated broker. The ASPP allows
for the purchase of Units under the NCIB when AHIP would ordinarily
not be permitted to purchase Units due to regulatory restrictions
and customary self-imposed blackout periods.
AHIP believes that its Units are currently
trading, or due to market volatility, may trade in a price range
that does not adequately reflect their underlying value based on
AHIP’s assets, business prospects and financial position.
Accordingly, depending upon future price movements and other
factors, AHIP may purchase outstanding Units from time to time,
provided that the repurchase of Units at such market prices
continue to be an appropriate use of AHIP’s resources and will
benefit remaining unitholders by increasing their proportionate
equity interest in AHIP.
AHIP’s strategic investor HCI-BGO Victora JB LP
(the “Investor”), a joint venture limited
partnership of BentallGreenOak Real Estate Advisors LP and Highgate
Capital Investments, LP, provided its consent to the NCIB under the
terms of the Investor Rights Agreement between AHIP, the Investor
and certain of their respective affiliates, subject to the
aggregate purchase price of the Units acquired under the NCIB not
exceeding CAD$5.0 million.
As of the date of this news release, AHIP had
purchased 1,301,832 units for gross proceeds of CDN$0.9 million
which results in an average purchase price of CDN$0.69. All of
these 1,301,832 units have been cancelled and are no longer
outstanding.
SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
DISPUTE WITH AIMBRIDGE
On July 19, 2024, AHIP announced that AHIP and
certain of its subsidiaries are in a dispute with hotel manager ONE
Lodging Holdings LLC, itself a subsidiary of Aimbridge Hospitality,
and various of its own subsidiaries (collectively,
“Aimbridge”) related to Aimbridge’s mismanagement
of AHIP’s hotel portfolio.
Earlier in July 2024, AHIP delivered a detailed
notice of default (the “Default Notice”) to
Aimbridge providing notice that Aimbridge is in material default of
the Master Hotel Management Agreement dated February 20, 2013, as
amended (the “Master HMA”) and the individual
hotel management agreements made thereunder (the
“Individual HMAs”, and together with the Master
HMA, the “HMAs”).
AHIP also delivered a notice of appointment to
Aimbridge referring to the matters set forth in the Default Notice
to an independent expert for a determination that Aimbridge is in
default of the Master HMA and confirming that AHIP can terminate
the HMAs and recover damages.
On July 18, 2024, AHIP received a notice of
civil claim (the “Claim”) filed by Aimbridge in
the Supreme Court of British Columbia. Aimbridge claimed, amongst
other things, that the matters identified in the appointment notice
must be resolved by the courts of British Columbia and not by the
independent expert. AHIP opposed the Claim and subsequently brought
an application to stay the Claim in favor of arbitration, which
Aimbridge opposed and brought a cross application seeking
interlocutory relief prohibiting AHIP from proceeding with
arbitration.
In December 2024, the Supreme Court of British
Columbia dismissed AHIP’s application to stay the Claim and granted
Aimbridge an interlocutory (interim) injunction preventing AHIP
from taking any steps to advance the dispute initiated by AHIP
under arbitration with the independent expert.
Following the court’s decision, AHIP filed a
response to the Claim and delivered a counterclaim to Aimbridge in
the Supreme Court of British Columbia in January 2025 seeking a
declaration that Aimbridge is in material default of the HMAs and
that the HMAs were, or are, terminated as well as damages and other
monetary awards.
Notwithstanding the dispute, AHIP’s entire
portfolio of premium branded, select-service hotels continue to be
in operation and AHIP remains focused on creating long-term value
for its Unitholders.

ABOUT AMERICAN HOTEL INCOME PROPERTIES
REIT LP
American Hotel Income Properties REIT LP (TSX:
HOT.UN, TSX: HOT.U, TSX: HOT.DB.V), or AHIP, is a limited
partnership formed to invest in hotel real estate properties across
the United States. AHIP’s portfolio of premium branded,
select-service hotels are located in secondary metropolitan markets
that benefit from diverse and stable demand. AHIP hotels operate
under brands affiliated with Marriott, Hilton, IHG and Choice
Hotels through license agreements. AHIP’s long-term objectives
are to increase the value of its hotel properties through operating
excellence, active asset management and value-adding capital
expenditures and increase unitholder value and distributions to
unitholders. More information is available at www.ahipreit.com.
NON-IFRS AND OTHER FINANCIAL
MEASURES
Management believes the following non-IFRS
financial measures, non-IFRS ratios, capital management measures
and supplementary financial measures are relevant measures to
monitor and evaluate AHIP’s financial and operating performance.
These measures and ratios do not have any standardized meaning
prescribed by IFRS and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to
similar measures presented by other issuers. These measures and
ratios are included to provide investors and management additional
information and alternative methods for assessing AHIP’s financial
and operating results and should not be considered in isolation or
as a substitute for performance measures prepared in accordance
with IFRS.
NON-IFRS FINANCIAL
MEASURES:
FFO: FFO measures operating
performance and is calculated in accordance with Real Property
Association of Canada’s (“REALPAC”) definition.
FFO – basic is calculated by adjusting income (loss) and
comprehensive income (loss) for depreciation and amortization, gain
or loss on disposal of property, IFRIC 21 property taxes, fair
value gain or loss, impairment of property, deferred income tax,
and other applicable items. FFO – diluted is calculated as FFO –
basic plus the interest, accretion, and amortization on convertible
debentures if convertible debentures are dilutive. The most
comparable IFRS measure to FFO is income (loss) and comprehensive
income (loss), for which a reconciliation is provided in this news
release.
AFFO: AFFO is defined as a
recurring economic earnings measure and calculated in accordance
with REALPAC’s definition. AFFO – basic is calculated as FFO –
basic less maintenance capital expenditures. AFFO – diluted is
calculated as FFO – diluted less maintenance capital expenditures.
The most comparable IFRS measure to AFFO is income (loss) and
comprehensive income (loss), for which a reconciliation is provided
in this news release.
Normalized FFO: calculated as
FFO adjusting for non-recurring items. For the three months ended
December 31, 2024, normalized FFO is calculated as FFO excluding
the non-recurring property damage insurance adjustment of $0.1
million recorded in the same period. For the twelve months ended
December 31, 2024, normalized FFO is calculated as FFO excluding
the non-recurring property damage insurance proceeds of $1.5
million recorded in the same period. For the three months ended
December 31, 2023, normalized FFO is calculated as FFO adding back
the $1.7 million non-recurring insurance proceeds adjustment for
weather-related damage at several hotel properties in late December
2022. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2023, normalized FFO
is calculated as FFO excluding the non-recurring insurance proceeds
of $11.2 million for weather-related damage at several hotel
properties in late December 2022. The most comparable IFRS measure
to normalized FFO is income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss),
for which a reconciliation is provided in this news release.
Normalized NOI: calculated as
NOI adjusting for non-recurring items. For the twelve months ended
December 31, 2024, normalized NOI included the non-recurring
insurance proceeds of $0.5 million for business interruption
claims. For the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2023,
normalized NOI included $0.1 million and $3.5 million in business
interruption insurance proceeds, respectively, related to the
weather-related damage at several hotel properties in late December
2022. The most comparable IFRS measure to normalized NOI is NOI,
for which a reconciliation is provided in this news release.
Hotel EBITDA: calculated by
adjusting NOI for hotel management fees. The most comparable IFRS
measure to hotel EBITDA is NOI, for which a reconciliation is
provided in this news release.
EBITDA: calculated by adjusting
NOI for hotel management fees and general administrative expenses.
The sum of hotel management fees and general administrative
expenses is equal to corporate and administrative expenses in the
Financial Statements. The most comparable IFRS measure to EBITDA is
NOI, for which a reconciliation is provided in this news
release.
Debt: calculated as the sum of
term loans and revolving credit facility, the face value of
convertible debentures, unamortized portion of debt financing
costs, lease liabilities and unamortized portion of mark-to-market
adjustments. The most comparable IFRS measure to debt is total
liabilities, for which a reconciliation is provided in this news
release.
Gross book value: calculated as
the sum of total assets, accumulated depreciation and impairment on
property, buildings and equipment, and accumulated amortization on
intangible assets. The most comparable IFRS measure to gross book
value is total assets, for which a reconciliation is provided in
this news release.
Interest expense: calculated by
adjusting finance costs for gain/loss on debt settlement,
amortization of debt financing costs, accretion of debenture
liability, amortization of debenture costs, dividends on series B
preferred shares and amortization of mark-to-market adjustments,
accretion of management fee because interest expense excludes
certain non-cash accounting items and dividends on preferred
shares. The most comparable IFRS measure to interest expense is
finance costs, for which a reconciliation is provided in this news
release.
NON-IFRS RATIOS:
FFO per unit – basic/diluted:
calculated as FFO – basic/diluted divided by weighted average
number of units outstanding - basic/diluted respectively for the
reporting periods.
Normalized FFO per unit –
basic/diluted: calculated as normalized FFO –
basic/diluted divided by weighted average number of units
outstanding - basic/diluted respectively for the reporting
periods.
AFFO per unit – basic/diluted:
calculated as AFFO – basic/diluted divided by weighted average
number of units outstanding - basic/diluted respectively for the
reporting periods.
NOI margin: calculated as NOI
divided by total revenue.
Hotel EBITDA margin: calculated as hotel EBITDA
divided by total revenue.
EBITDA margin: calculated as
EBITDA divided by total revenue.
Capitalization rate (“Cap
Rate”): calculated as 2023 or 2024 annual hotel EBITDA,
after adjusting for an industry standard 4% furniture, fixtures,
and equipment (“FF&E”) reserve, divided by the actual and
estimated gross proceeds of the asset dispositions.
Implied capitalization rate (“implied
Cap Rate”): calculated as 2023 annual hotel EBITDA, after
adjusting for an industry standard 4% FF&E reserve, for the
portfolio of 49 hotel properties divided by the enterprise
value.
CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
MEASURES:
Debt to gross book value:
calculated as debt divided by gross book value. Debt to gross book
value is a primary measure of capital management and leverage.
Debt to EBITDA: calculated as
debt divided by the trailing twelve months (“TTM”) EBITDA. Debt to
EBITDA measures the amount of income generated and available to pay
down debt before covering interest, taxes, depreciation, and
amortization expenses.
Interest coverage ratio:
calculated as TTM EBITDA divided by interest expense for the
trailing twelve months. The interest coverage ratio is a measure of
AHIP’s ability to service the interest requirements of its
outstanding debt.
SUPPLEMENTARY FINANCIAL
MEASURES:
Occupancy is a major driver of room revenue as
well as food and beverage revenues. Fluctuations in occupancy are
normally accompanied by fluctuations in most categories of variable
hotel operating expenses, including housekeeping and other labor
costs. Higher ADR increases room revenue with limited impact on
hotel operating expenses. Increase in RevPAR attributable to
increase in occupancy may reduce EBITDA and EBITDA margins, while
increase in RevPAR attributable to increase in ADR typically result
in increases in EBITDA and EBITDA margins.
Occupancy: calculated as total
number of hotel rooms sold divided by total number of rooms
available for the reporting periods. Occupancy is a metric commonly
used in the hotel industry to measure the utilization of hotels’
available capacity.
Average daily rate (“ADR”):
calculated as total room revenue divided by total number of rooms
sold for the reporting periods. ADR is a metric commonly used in
the hotel industry to indicate the average revenue earned per
occupied room in a given time period.
Revenue per available room
(“RevPAR”): calculated as occupancy multiplied by ADR for
the reporting periods.
Same property ADR, occupancy, RevPAR,
and NOI margin: measured for properties owned by AHIP for
both the current reporting periods and the same periods in 2023. In
Q2 2024 and Q1 2024, the same property ADR, occupancy, RevPAR and
NOI margin calculations excluded the Residence Inn Neptune and
Courtyard Wall in New Jersey as these two hotels had limited
availability in Q2 2023 and Q1 2023 comparative periods, due to
remediation and rebuilding after the weather-related damage in late
December 2022.
Enterprise value: is a
supplementary financial measure and is calculated as the sum of (i)
total debt obligations as reflected on the December 31, 2024
balance sheet (ii) AHIP’s market capitalization (which is
calculated as the U.S. dollar closing price of the units on the TSX
as of December 31, 2024, multiplied by the total number of units
issued and outstanding as at such date), and (iii) face value of
series C preferred shares, less (iv) the amount of cash and cash
equivalents reflected on the December 31, 2024 balance sheet.
