Third Quarter 2017 Highlights

• Comparable Hotel²Revenue Per Available Room (“RevPAR”) of $54.55

The Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Gerry Lopez, commented, “Our third quarter financial performance was stable, with solid per-share metrics but still short of our expectations.  Strength in the South and Southeast was not enough to offset weakness in the West.  Nevertheless, we have already taken steps to improve performance, including key personnel changes, re-allocation of sales resources, rate re-mixing and targeted capital investments.”

Mr. Lopez continued, “Most notably, this quarter we continued to move forward on ESA 2.0, with late stage discussions to sell groups of hotels in 2018 and a growing pipeline of owned + operated new-builds that now stands at 3 units and 7 LOIs. We expect 2018 to be a pivotal year for Extended Stay America's estate.”
