Pebblebrook Hotel Trust Reports Second Quarter 2025 Results
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 based on the outstanding dilutive common shares plus the outstanding Operating Partnership units for the periods presented.
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).
EBITDA 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: (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 FFO and Adjusted EBITDAre because it believes that adjusting FFO and 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 FFO and Adjusted EBITDAre, 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 and EBITDAre for the following items, which may occur in any period, and refers to these measures as Adjusted FFO and Adjusted EBITDAre:
- Transaction costs: The Company excludes transaction costs expensed during the period because it believes that including these costs in Adjusted FFO and Adjusted 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 Adjusted FFO and Adjusted EBITDAre 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 Adjusted 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 Adjusted 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 Adjusted FFO and Adjusted EBITDAre does not reflect the underlying financial performance of the Company.
- Early extinguishment of debt and deferred tax benefit: The Company excludes these items because the Company believes that including these adjustments in Adjusted FFO does not reflect the underlying financial performance of the Company and its hotels.
- Gain on insurance settlement, amortization of share-based compensation expense, hurricane-related costs and unrealized loss on investment: The Company excludes these items because it believes that including these costs in Adjusted FFO and Adjusted EBITDAre does not reflect the underlying financial performance of the Company and its hotels.
The Company presents weighted-average number of basic and fully diluted common shares and units by excluding the dilutive effect of shares issuable upon conversion of convertible debt.
The Company's presentation of FFO and Adjusted FFO should not be considered as alternatives 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. The Company's presentation of EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre should not be considered as alternatives 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.

‘I retired to Portugal – it's like living in a five-star hotel'
Ken MacKenzie has always loved spending time at his holiday home in Praia d'El Rey, in Portugal. So after retiring in 2021, he set about trying to convince his wife Diane to move there permanently. The couple had bought a plot of land north of Lisbon in 2007. There were setbacks in getting their project off the ground due to the financial crisis, but by 2011 they had a five-bedroom villa – with a pool and sea views. During school holidays the couple, along with their four children, would visit for weeks at a time. MacKenzie would often commute back on Monday mornings to London, where he worked as a partner at an accountancy firm, and then rejoin the family on a Thursday evening. 'It was always in my mind that we could live here in the future, but you do have to recognise that things are going to be different,' says MacKenzie, 64. 'You give up your routine and your day-to-day contact with friends and family.' Finally, in March 2024, the family made the decision to make the holiday villa their full-time home. How to move to Portugal Portugal has long been a popular destination for British expats. Not only is the weather better and the cost of living lower, but it has been relatively easy to get a residence permit and – until recently – there were significant tax breaks for expats. It is estimated that almost 50,000 British expats live in the country. Those moving to Portugal will first need to apply for a residency visa, and then once they are in the country, apply for a residency permit. This is usually valid for two years and can be extended for a further three years, according to Gilda Pereira, of the Portuguese migration agency Ei. After living in the country for five years on this permit, you can apply for a permanent residency permit or citizenship. For all of these, you will need to prove you have sufficient income to live on and accommodation. Since Brexit, a golden visa programme has opened up to UK residents moving to Portugal. This is a visa available to those investing or buying a property in the country, but does not require you to live there permanently. But Pereira says the most common option for UK retirees is a D7 visa, which is available to non-EU nationals who can prove they have the funds to support themselves – with €870 (£753) a month for a single person or €1,305 (£1,130) a month for couples. This does not require an investment. Previously, some expats were eligible for the Non-Habitual Residents (NHR) tax scheme, which offered generous tax breaks to foreign residents – including a reduced tax rate of 10pc on UK pension income. This ended in 2024, although those who had already qualified are able to benefit for 10 years. The MacKenzies moved before the scheme ended, so are able to enjoy this tax break. 'It is attractive that there is a tax benefit, but we would have moved here anyway,' says MacKenzie. The NHR has been replaced by a new scheme, the IFICI, which does not offer any tax breaks on pension income, says Pereira. However, there is no inheritance tax charged in Portugal. The tax was abolished in 2004, and instead residents pay a flat rate of 10pc stamp duty on inherited assets – although close relatives including a spouse, child or parent who inherit are exempt from this. A double-taxation agreement between the UK and Portugal means you will not pay tax twice on the same income. However, those planning to draw on their pension should consider taking their tax-free lump sum before they become Portuguese tax residents, because there is no equivalent tax break in the country. Everyone registered as living in Portugal is entitled to use its national health service. Unlike the NHS, this is not free but the fees are relatively low – at €5 for a GP appointment and €15 to go to A&E. Pereira says: 'Many people choose Portugal for the weather, the friendly people and the healthy lifestyle. However, they can find the bureaucracy a problem. Applying for visas and permits can be difficult so it is worth finding a professional who can help with the process.' MacKenzie adds: 'Moving country is like moving house but more extreme. And then, if you are dealing with retiring at the same time, it means you have to flip your mindset from saving to spending. It can be a massive challenge.' 'I love to sit on the terrace and watch the waves' For MacKenzie, retirement in Portugal is everything he had hoped for. He swims every day and uses his sauna. He plays golf, goes walking with his dog Gizmo, enjoys cycling and going to the gym. The nearest beach is just 250 metres away. 'The weather is so much better than the UK and it's a very outdoors lifestyle. I love to sit on the terrace and watch the waves, it's such a spectacular setting. It feels like living in a five-star hotel,' he says. 'Having the holiday home has made it all easier. I think it would be daunting to move if we hadn't spent time here before.' Portugal is one of the more affordable European countries to live. According to consultancy Immigrant Invest, you can expect to spend about €300 a month on groceries, while a monthly travel pass is €40 and a litre of petrol €1.87. It estimates that a single person needs about €1,780 a month to live comfortably, including rent. Property prices vary significantly across the country, from about €1,500 per square metre in the Alentejo region in the centre and south of the country to €3,644 per square metre in central Lisbon. According to Portugal's national statistics office, house prices across the country increased by a massive 16.3pc in the year to the first quarter of 2025. MacKenzie and his wife downsized their house in the UK to a smaller property in Tunbridge Wells before moving, and now rent it out to get a steady income stream. He also receives an income from investments and draws down on his private pension. The couple will get the full state pension in a few years, and Portugal is one of the countries where retired expats can still benefit from annual increases in the payment – thanks to the UK's valuable triple lock. However, it depends which country you retire in as to whether you will enjoy this protection. For anyone considering a move overseas, MacKenzie recommends attending events to learn more about how to do it. 'The Portuguese Chamber of Commerce does a six-monthly roadshow in the UK, which is very useful. Social media can also be helpful but there is a lot of wrong information out there,' he says. Seeking professional advice can also be worth it for some of the more complex aspects, and the couple have continued using the property agent who looked after their villa when they were in the UK, to help with any issues. 'Portuguese isn't an easy language, and we don't read it or speak it fluently, so having that help was beneficial. It can also be a problem if you don't get the sequence of doing things right, for example, getting into the tax system in Portugal while extracting yourself from the UK can be tricky because the tax year runs differently,' adds MacKenzie. The tax year in Portugal runs with the calendar year from Jan 1 to Dec 31, unlike in the UK where it runs from April 6 to April 5, so you may have a year where you must file a tax return in both countries. 'You need to be realistic about what you want to take on yourself and where you need help.' Broaden your horizons with award-winning British journalism.

Rail bosses given ‘criminal offence' warning over fare dodger prosecutions
Train company bosses have been warned by the Government they could be breaking the law if they allow unqualified staff to prosecute alleged fare dodgers. A Department for Transport memo sent to operators states it is a 'criminal offence' to let non-lawyers act as prosecutors in court cases with passengers accused of not buying the correct ticket. The use of these lay prosecutors in those circumstances is not legal, the advice warns. There have been a series of high-profile cases in which passengers faced prosecution over small amounts of money. In one example, a passenger was threatened with court action for accidentally selecting a 16-25 railcard ticket when they held a 26-30 railcard, which provides the same discount. Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander has written to train operators stating that 'any enforcement must be proportionate and not punish those making genuine mistakes'. She added: 'It is your responsibility to ensure that you are adequately protecting revenue in a cost effective but lawful way.' The Cabinet minister said she accepted the recommendations of regulator the Office of Rail and Road (ORR), which included creating consistency in how passengers are treated when ticket issues arise, and ensuring passengers have clearer information about tickets. Industry body the Rail Delivery Group has estimated that fare dodging creates £350 million to £400 million in lost revenue each year. A Government source said: 'Fare evasion costs the taxpayer hundreds of thousands of pounds a year and dents confidence in our railway, so we're dead serious about tackling it. 'But enforcement must be proportionate. We can't have operators going after an older person faced with an incomprehensible system, or a student who has made an honest mistake. 'We're asking train companies to make sure they are prosecuting fare dodgers properly the first time. 'We'll set out our full response to the ORR report in due course, and Great British Railways will simplify fares and ticketing – restoring a railway the public can be proud of again.' The Government is bringing operators into public ownership as contracts expire. GBR is an upcoming public sector body that will oversee Britain's rail infrastructure and train operation.
