Mr. Donald continued, “Our team recently began the renovation of our next phase of 95 hotels and we remain on track to complete renovations of approximately 75% of our Extended Stay America-branded hotels by early 2016 and all Extended Stay America-branded hotels by early 2017. These renovations, coupled with our marketing and operating initiatives, should allow us to maximize the value of our national scale in the coming years. Finally, during the quarter we completed our first unsecured bond offering, extending our debt maturities at attractive rates. As evidenced by the 40% year over year increase in net income in the second quarter, it is clear that these efforts are translating into meaningful earnings growth and we continue to be focused on driving shareholder value.”
