NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

Note 1. Business

Organization

Carey Watermark Investors 2 Incorporated, or CWI 2, together with its consolidated subsidiaries, is a publicly owned, non-listed real estate investment trust, or REIT, that invests in, and through our advisor, manages and seeks to enhance the value of, interests in lodging and lodging-related properties primarily in the United States. We conduct substantially all of our investment activities and own all of our assets through CWI 2 OP, LP, or the Operating Partnership. We are a general partner and a limited partner of, and own a 99.985% capital interest in, the Operating Partnership. Carey Watermark Holdings 2, LLC, or Carey Watermark Holdings 2, which is owned indirectly by W. P. Carey Inc., or WPC, holds a special general partner interest in the Operating Partnership.

We are managed by Carey Lodging Advisors, LLC, or our Advisor, an indirect subsidiary of WPC. Our Advisor manages our overall portfolio, including providing oversight and strategic guidance to the independent hotel operators that manage our hotels. CWA 2, LLC, a subsidiary of Watermark Capital Partners, or the Subadvisor, provides services to our Advisor primarily relating to acquiring, managing, financing and disposing of our hotels and overseeing the independent operators that manage the day-to-day operations of our hotels. In addition, the Subadvisor provides us with the services of Mr. Michael G. Medzigian, our Chief Executive Officer, subject to the approval of our independent directors.

We held ownership interests in 11 hotels at June 30, 2017. See Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in Item 2 — Portfolio Overview for a complete listing of the hotels that we consolidate, or our Consolidated Hotels, and the hotel that we record as an equity investment, or our Unconsolidated Hotel, at June 30, 2017.

Public Offering

From our Inception on May 22, 2014 through June 30, 2017, we raised offering proceeds of $278.9 million from our Class A common stock and $566.0 million from our Class T common stock. In addition, during the same period, $7.9 million and $13.3 million of distributions were reinvested in our Class A and Class T common stock, respectively, through our DRIP. The offering was temporarily suspended on March 31, 2017 while our Advisor completed the determination of our estimated net asset values per share, or NAVs, as of December 31, 2016 and we updated our offering documents to reflect the NAVs and any related changes to the offering prices of our shares. Our offering prices were updated to $11.93 and $11.28 per Class A share and Class T share, respectively.

On June 15, 2017, WPC announced that it would exit all non-traded retail fundraising activities carried out by Carey Financial, effective June 30, 2017. In light of this announcement, active fundraising by Carey Financial on our behalf ceased as of that date, with the facilitation of the orderly processing of sales continuing through July 31, 2017. On July 31, 2017, we closed our initial public offering (Note 12). We currently intend to use the remaining net proceeds of the offering to continue to acquire, own and manage a portfolio of interests in lodging and lodging-related properties.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Note 2. Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

Our interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not necessarily include all information and footnotes necessary for a fair statement of our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or GAAP.

In the opinion of management, the unaudited financial information for the interim periods presented in this Report reflects all normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of financial position, results of operations and cash flows. Our interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes for the year ended December 31, 2016, which are included in our 2016 Annual Report, as certain disclosures that would substantially duplicate those contained in the audited consolidated financial statements have not been included in this Report. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of operating results for an entire year.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and the disclosure of contingent amounts in our consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

For purposes of determining the weighted-average number of shares of Class A and Class T common stock outstanding, amounts for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 have been adjusted to treat stock distributions declared and effective through the date of this Report as if they were outstanding as of January 1, 2016.

Basis of Consolidation

Our consolidated financial statements reflect all of our accounts, including those of our controlled subsidiaries. The portions of equity in consolidated subsidiaries that are not attributable, directly or indirectly, to us are presented as noncontrolling interests. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

When we obtain an economic interest in an entity, we evaluate the entity to determine if it should be deemed a variable interest entity, or VIE, and, if so, whether we are the primary beneficiary and are therefore required to consolidate the entity. We apply accounting guidance for consolidation of VIEs to certain entities in which the equity investors do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. Certain decision-making rights within a loan or joint-venture agreement can cause us to consider an entity a VIE. Limited partnerships and other similar entities which operate as a partnership will be considered a VIE unless the limited partners hold substantive kick-out rights or participation rights. Significant judgment is required to determine whether a VIE should be consolidated. We review the contractual arrangements provided for in the partnership agreement or other related contracts to determine whether the entity is considered a VIE, and to establish whether we have any variable interests in the VIE. We then compare our variable interests, if any, to those of the other variable interest holders to determine which party is the primary beneficiary of the VIE based on whether the entity (i) has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the VIE and (ii) has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The liabilities of these VIEs are non-recourse to us and can only be satisfied from each VIE’s respective assets.

At June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we considered four and five entities, respectively, to be VIEs, of which we consolidated three and four, respectively, as we are considered the primary beneficiary. The following table presents a summary of selected financial data of consolidated VIEs included in the consolidated balance sheets (in thousands):

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued Accounting Standards Update, or ASU, 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). ASU 2014-09 supersedes or replaces nearly all GAAP revenue recognition guidance. The new guidance establishes a new control-based revenue recognition model that changes the basis for deciding when revenue is recognized over time or at a point in time and expands the disclosures about revenue. The new guidance also applies to sales of real estate and the new principles-based approach is largely based on the transfer of control of the real estate to the buyer. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and the interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. We expect to adopt this new standard on January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective transition method, which requires a cumulative effect adjustment upon the date of adoption. We are currently evaluating the impact of the new standard and do not believe the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). ASU 2016-02 outlines a new model for accounting by lessees, whereby their rights and obligations under substantially all leases, existing and new, would be capitalized and recorded on the balance sheet. For lessors, however, the accounting remains largely unchanged from the current model, with the distinction between operating and financing leases retained, but updated to align with certain changes to the lessee model and the new revenue recognition standard. Additionally, the new standard requires extensive quantitative and qualitative disclosures. ASU 2016-02 is effective for GAAP public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application will be permitted for all entities. The new standard must be adopted using a modified retrospective transition of the new guidance and provides for certain practical expedients. Transition will require application of the new model at the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented. We are in the process of evaluating the impact of the new standard and have not yet determined if it will have a material impact on our business or our consolidated financial statements.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. ASU 2016-15 intends to reduce diversity in practice for certain cash flow classifications, including, but not limited to (i) debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs, (ii) contingent consideration payments made after a business combination, (iii) proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims, (iv) distributions received from equity method investees and (v) separately identifiable cash flows and application of the predominance principle. ASU 2016-15 will be effective for public business entities in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early application of the guidance permitted. We are in the process of evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2016-15 on our consolidated financial statements and will adopt the standard for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2018.

In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-17, Consolidation (Topic 810): Interests Held through Related Parties That Are under Common Control. ASU 2016-17 changes how a reporting entity that is a decision maker should consider indirect interests in a VIE held through an entity under common control. If a decision maker must evaluate whether it is the primary beneficiary of a VIE, it will only need to consider its proportionate indirect interest in the VIE held through a common control party. ASU 2016-17 amends ASU 2015-02, which we adopted on January 1, 2016, and which currently directs the decision maker to treat the common control party’s interest in the VIE as if the decision maker held the interest itself. ASU 2016-17 is effective for public business entities in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We adopted ASU 2016-17 as of January 1, 2017 on a prospective basis. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash. ASU 2016-18 intends to reduce diversity in practice for the classification and presentation of changes in restricted cash on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-18 requires that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. Therefore, amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-18 will be effective for public business entities in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. We are in the process of evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2016-18 on our consolidated financial statements and will adopt the standard for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2018.

CWI 2 6/30/2017 10-Q – 10

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business. ASU 2017-01 clarifies the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist companies and other reporting organizations with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. The changes to the definition of a business will likely result in more acquisitions being accounted for as asset acquisitions across all industries. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and the interim periods within those annual periods. We expect to adopt this new guidance on January 1, 2018. While we are evaluating the potential impact of the standard, we currently expect that certain future hotel acquisitions may be considered asset acquisitions rather than business combinations, which would affect the capitalization of acquisition costs (such costs are expensed for business combinations and capitalized for asset acquisitions).

In February 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-05, Other Income — Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets (Subtopic 610-20). ASU 2017-05 clarifies that a financial asset is within the scope of Subtopic 610-20 if it meets the definition of an in substance nonfinancial asset. The amendments define the term “in substance nonfinancial asset,” in part, as a financial asset promised to a counterparty in a contract if substantially all of the fair value of the assets (recognized and unrecognized) that are promised to the counterparty in the contract is concentrated in nonfinancial assets. If substantially all of the fair value of the assets that are promised to the counterparty in a contract is concentrated in nonfinancial assets, then all of the financial assets promised to the counterparty are in substance nonfinancial assets within the scope of Subtopic 610-20. This amendment also clarifies that nonfinancial assets within the scope of Subtopic 610-20 may include nonfinancial assets transferred within a legal entity to a counterparty. For example, a parent company may transfer control of nonfinancial assets by transferring ownership interests in a consolidated subsidiary. ASU 2017-05 is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early application permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. We are currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2017-05 on our consolidated financial statements.

Note 3. Agreements and Transactions with Related Parties

Agreements with Our Advisor and Affiliates

We have an advisory agreement with our Advisor to perform certain services for us under a fee arrangement, including managing our overall business; the identification, evaluation, negotiation, purchase and disposition of lodging and lodging-related properties; and the performance of certain administrative duties. The advisory agreement has a term of one year and may be renewed for successive one-year periods. Our Advisor also has a subadvisory agreement with the Subadvisor, whereby our Advisor pays 25% of the fees that it earns under the advisory agreement and Available Cash Distributions and 30% of the subordinated incentive distributions to the Subadvisor and the Subadvisor provides certain personnel services to us, as discussed below.

The following tables present a summary of fees we paid; expenses we reimbursed and distributions we made to our Advisor, the Subadvisor and other affiliates, as described below, in accordance with the terms of those agreements (in thousands):

Acquisition Fees to our Advisor

We pay our Advisor acquisition fees of 2.5% of the total investment cost of the properties acquired, as defined in our advisory agreement, described above, including on our proportionate share of equity method investments and loans originated by us. The total fees to be paid may not exceed 6% of the aggregate contract purchase price of all investments, as measured over a period specified in our advisory agreement.

Asset Management Fees, Disposition Fees and Loan Refinancing Fees

We pay our Advisor an annual asset management fee equal to 0.55% of the aggregate Average Market Value of our Investments, both as defined in the advisory agreement with our Advisor. Our Advisor is also entitled to receive disposition fees of up to 1.5% of the contract sales price of a property, as well as a loan refinancing fee of up to 1.0% of the principal amount of a refinanced loan, if certain conditions described in the advisory agreement are met. If our Advisor elects to receive all or a portion of its fees in shares of our Class A common stock, the number of shares issued is determined by dividing the dollar amount of fees by our most recently published estimated NAV for Class A shares (while before our initial NAV was published in March 2016, we used our offering price for Class A shares of $10.00 per share). For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, our Advisor elected to receive its asset management fees in shares of our Class A common stock rather than in cash. For the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, $3.7 million and $1.5 million, respectively, in asset management fees were settled in shares of our Class A common stock. At June 30, 2017, our Advisor owned 839,557 shares (3.0%) of our outstanding Class A common stock. Asset management fees are included in Asset management fees to affiliate and other in the consolidated financial statements. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, we did not pay any disposition fees or loan refinancing fees.

Personnel and Overhead Reimbursements

Under the terms of the advisory agreement, our Advisor generally allocates expenses of dedicated and shared resources, including the cost of personnel, rent and related office expenses, between us and our affiliate, Carey Watermark Investors Incorporated, or CWI 1, based on total pro rata hotel revenues on a quarterly basis. Pursuant to the subadvisory agreement, after we reimburse our Advisor, it will subsequently reimburse the Subadvisor for personnel costs and other charges, including the services of our Chief Executive Officer, subject to the approval of our board of directors. These reimbursements are included in Corporate general and administrative expenses and Due to related parties and affiliates in the consolidated financial statements and are being settled in cash. We have also granted restricted stock units to employees of the Subadvisor pursuant to our 2015 Equity Incentive Plan.

Available Cash Distributions

Carey Watermark Holdings 2’s special general partner interest entitles it to receive distributions of 10% of Available Cash, as defined in the agreement of limited partnership of the Operating Partnership, or Available Cash Distributions, generated by the Operating Partnership, subject to certain limitations. In addition, in the event of the dissolution of the Operating Partnership, Carey Watermark Holdings 2 will be entitled to receive distributions of up to 15% of any net proceeds, provided certain return thresholds are met for the initial investors in the Operating Partnership. Available Cash Distributions are included in Income attributable to noncontrolling interests in the consolidated financial statements.

Selling Commissions and Dealer Manager Fees

Pursuant to our dealer manager agreement with Carey Financial, Carey Financial receives a selling commission for sales of our Class A and Class T common stock. Until we made the first adjustment to our offering prices in March 2016 in connection with the publication of our initial NAVs as of December 31, 2015, Carey Financial received a selling commission of up to $0.70 and $0.19 per share sold and a dealer manager fee of up to $0.30 and $0.26 per share sold for the Class A and Class T common stock, respectively. After that adjustment, Carey Financial received a selling commission of $0.82 and $0.22 per share sold and a dealer manager fee of $0.35 and $0.30 per share sold for the Class A and Class T common stock, respectively. In connection with the extension of our initial public offering, we adjusted our offering prices again in April 2017 to reflect our NAVs as of December 31, 2016, with a selling commission of $0.84 and $0.23 per share sold and a dealer manager fee of $0.36 and $0.31 per share sold for the Class A and Class T common stock, respectively. The selling commissions are re-allowed and a portion of the dealer manager fees may be re-allowed to selected dealers. These amounts are recorded in Additional paid-in capital in the consolidated financial statements. During the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, we paid selling commissions and dealer manager fees totaling $12.8 million and $14.0 million, respectively. We will pay the annual distribution and shareholder servicing fees directly to the selected dealers rather than through Carey Financial beginning with the fees for the third quarter of 2017.

We also pay an annual distribution and shareholder servicing fee in connection with our Class T common stock to Carey Financial, which it may re-allow to selected dealers. The amount of the distribution and shareholder servicing fee is 1.0% of the amount of our NAV per Class T common stock (while before our initial NAV was published in March 2016, the fee was 1.0% of the selling price per share for the Class T common stock in our initial public offering). The distribution and shareholder servicing fee accrues daily and is payable quarterly in arrears. We will no longer incur the distribution and shareholder servicing fee after the sixth anniversary of the end of the quarter in which the initial public offering terminates, and the fees may end sooner if the total underwriting compensation that is paid in respect of the offering reaches 10.0% of the gross offering proceeds or if we undertake a liquidity event, as described in our prospectus, before that sixth anniversary. During the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, $8.4 million and $6.8 million, respectively, of distribution and shareholder servicing fees were charged to stockholders’ equity and during the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, $2.1 million and $0.7 million, respectively, of such fees were paid to Carey Financial.

Organization and Offering Costs

Pursuant to our advisory agreement, we are liable for certain expenses related to our public offering, including filing, legal, accounting, printing, advertising, transfer agent and escrow fees, which are deducted from the gross proceeds of the offering. We reimburse Carey Financial and selected dealers for reasonable bona fide due diligence expenses incurred that are supported by a detailed and itemized invoice. The total underwriting compensation to Carey Financial and selected dealers in connection with the offering cannot exceed limitations prescribed by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc, or FINRA. Our Advisor will be reimbursed for all organization expenses and offering costs incurred in connection with our offering (excluding selling commissions and the dealer manager fees) limited to 1.5% of the gross proceeds from the offering. Through June 30, 2017, our Advisor incurred organization and offering costs on our behalf of approximately $8.8 million, all of which we were obligated to pay. Unpaid costs of $0.4 million were included in Due to affiliates in the consolidated financial statements at June 30, 2017.

During the offering period, costs incurred in connection with raising of capital are recorded as deferred offering costs. Upon receipt of offering proceeds, we charge the deferred offering costs to stockholders’ equity. During the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, $2.5 million and $3.0 million, respectively, of deferred offering costs were charged to stockholders’ equity.

Note Payable to WPC and Other Transactions with Affiliates

Our board of directors and the board of directors of WPC have, from time to time, pre-approved unsecured loans from WPC to us. Any such loans are solely at the discretion of WPC’s management and are at an interest rate equal to the rate at which WPC is able to borrow funds under its senior unsecured credit facility.

On January 20, 2016 and December 29, 2016, we borrowed $20.0 million and $210.0 million, respectively, from WPC; these loans were repaid in full during the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2017, respectively. At June 30, 2017, $250.0 million was available to be borrowed from WPC pursuant to the then current board authorization. The interest expense on these notes payable to our affiliate is included in Interest expense on the consolidated statements of operations.

Acquisition Fee Payable

At December 31, 2016, this balance represents the acquisition fee payable to our Advisor related to the acquisition of the Ritz-Carlton San Francisco on December 30, 2016, which was paid in the first quarter of 2017.

Jointly Owned Investments

At June 30, 2017, we owned interests in two jointly-owned investments with our affiliate Carey Watermark Investors Incorporated, or CWI 1: the Marriott Sawgrass Golf Resort & Spa, a Consolidated Hotel, and the Ritz-Carlton Key Biscayne, an Unconsolidated Hotel.

2017 Acquisition

During the six months ended June 30, 2017, we acquired one hotel, which was considered to be a business combination. We refer to this investment as our 2017 Acquisition.

Charlotte Marriott City Center

On June 1, 2017, we acquired a 100.0% interest in the Charlotte Marriott City Center hotel from Marriott Hotel Services, Inc., an unaffiliated third party, which includes real estate and other hotel assets, net of assumed liabilities and noncontrolling interest, with a fair value totaling $168.9 million, as detailed in the table that follows. The 446-room full-service hotel is located in Charlotte, North Carolina. The hotel is managed by Marriott International. At closing, Marriott provided us a cumulative $4.0 million net operating income, or NOI, guarantee, which guarantees minimum predetermined NOI amounts to us over a period of approximately three years, not to exceed $1.5 million annually. In connection with this acquisition, we expensed acquisition costs of $5.0 million, including acquisition fees of $4.4 million paid to our Advisor. We obtained a non-recourse mortgage loan on the property of $103.0 million upon acquisition (Note 8).

We assumed that we would have issued Class A shares to raise such funds. For pro forma purposes, we assumed all acquisition costs for the acquisitions of the Charlotte Marriott City Center, the Seattle Marriott Bellevue and Le Méridien Arlington were incurred on January 1, 2016, July 14, 2015 and January 1, 2015, respectively.

Construction in Progress

At June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, construction in progress, recorded at cost, was $1.6 million and $16.0 million, respectively, and related primarily to planned renovations at the Marriott Sawgrass Golf Resort & Spa (Note 9). We capitalize interest expense and certain other costs, such as property taxes, property insurance and hotel incremental labor costs, related to hotels undergoing major renovations. We capitalized $0.1 million of such costs during both the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, and $0.4 million and $0.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. At June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, accrued capital expenditures were $0.4 million and $4.4 million, respectively, representing non-cash investing activity.

Note 5. Equity Investment in Real Estate

At June 30, 2017, we owned an equity interest in one Unconsolidated Hotel, together with CWI 1 and an unrelated third party. We do not control the venture that owns this hotel, but we exercise significant influence over it. We account for this investment under the equity method of accounting (i.e., at cost, increased or decreased by our share of earnings or losses, less distributions, plus contributions and other adjustments required by equity method accounting, such as basis differences from acquisition costs paid to our Advisor that we incur and other-than-temporary impairment charges, if any).

Under the conventional approach of accounting for equity method investments, an investor applies its percentage ownership interest to the venture’s net income to determine the investor’s share of the earnings or losses of the venture. This approach is inappropriate if the venture’s capital structure gives different rights and priorities to its investors. We have a priority return on our equity method investment. Therefore, we follow the hypothetical liquidation at book value method in determining our share of the venture’s earnings or losses for the reporting period as this method better reflects our claim on the venture’s book value at the end of each reporting period. Earnings for our equity method investment are recognized in accordance with the related investment agreement and, where applicable, based upon the allocation of the investment’s net assets at book value as if the investment was hypothetically liquidated at the end of each reporting period.

The following table sets forth our ownership interest in our equity investment in real estate and its carrying value. The carrying value of this venture is affected by the timing and nature of distributions (dollars in thousands):

CWI 1 acquired a 47.4% interest in the venture on the same date. The remaining 33.3% interest is retained by the original owner. The number of rooms presented includes 156 condo-hotel units that participate in the resort rental program. This investment is considered a VIE (Note 2). We do not consolidate this entity because we are not the primary beneficiary and the nature of our involvement in the activities of the entity allows us to exercise significant influence but does not give us power over decisions that significantly affect the economic performance of the entity.

(c)

We received cash distributions of $0.6 million and $1.3 million from this investment during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively. At both June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the unamortized basis differences on our equity investment was $1.9 million. Net amortization of the basis differences reduced the carrying value of our equity investment by less than $0.1 million for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016.

Note 6. Fair Value Measurements

The fair value of an asset is defined as the exit price, which is the amount that would either be received when an asset is sold or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The guidance establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers are: Level 1, for which quoted market prices for identical instruments are available in active markets, such as money market funds, equity securities and U.S. Treasury securities; Level 2, for which there are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the instrument, such as certain derivative instruments, including interest rate caps and swaps; and Level 3, for securities that do not fall into Level 1 or Level 2 and for which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring us to develop our own assumptions.

Items Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

Derivative Assets and Liabilities — Our derivative assets and liabilities are comprised of interest rate caps and swaps that were measured at fair value using readily observable market inputs, such as quotations on interest rates. These derivative instruments were classified as Level 2 as these instruments are custom, over-the-counter contracts with various bank counterparties that are not traded in an active market (Note 7).

We did not have any transfers into or out of Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 category of measurements during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 or 2016. Gains and losses (realized and unrealized) included in earnings are reported in Other income and (expenses) in the consolidated financial statements.

Our non-recourse and limited-recourse debt, which we have classified as Level 3, had a carrying value of $817.5 million and $571.9 million at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively, and an estimated fair value of $821.7 million and $570.8 million at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. We determined the estimated fair value using a discounted cash flow model with rates that take into account the interest rate risk. We also considered the value of the underlying collateral, taking into account the quality of the collateral and the then-current interest rate.

We estimated that our other financial assets and liabilities had fair values that approximated their carrying values at both June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

Note 7. Risk Management and Use of Derivative Financial Instruments

Risk Management

In the normal course of our ongoing business operations, we encounter economic risk. There are two main components of economic risk that impact us: interest rate risk and market risk. We are primarily subject to interest rate risk on our interest-bearing assets and liabilities. Market risk includes changes in the value of our properties and related loans.

Derivative Financial Instruments

When we use derivative instruments, it is generally to reduce our exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. We have not entered into, and do not plan to enter into, financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. In addition to entering into derivative instruments on our own behalf, we may also be a party to derivative instruments that are embedded in other contracts, which are considered to be derivative instruments. The primary risks related to our use of derivative instruments include a counterparty to a hedging arrangement defaulting on its obligation and a downgrade in the credit quality of a counterparty to such an extent that our ability to sell or assign our side of the hedging transaction is impaired. While we seek to mitigate these risks by entering into hedging arrangements with large financial institutions that we deem to be creditworthy, it is possible that our hedging transactions, which are intended to limit losses, could adversely affect our earnings. Furthermore, if we terminate a hedging arrangement, we may be obligated to pay certain costs, such as transaction or breakage fees. We have established policies and procedures for risk assessment and the approval, reporting and monitoring of derivative financial instrument activities.

We measure derivative instruments at fair value and record them as assets or liabilities, depending on our rights or obligations under the applicable derivative contract. Derivatives that are not designated as hedges must be adjusted to fair value through earnings. For a derivative designated, and that qualified as a cash flow hedge, the effective portion of the change in fair value of the derivative is recognized in Other comprehensive income (loss) until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. The ineffective portion of the change in fair value of any derivative is immediately recognized in earnings.

The following table sets forth certain information regarding our derivative instruments on our Consolidated Hotels (in thousands):



Derivatives Designated as Hedging Instruments		Asset Derivatives Fair Value at
Derivatives Designated as Hedging Instruments	Balance Sheet Location	June 30, 2017		December 31, 2016
Interest rate swap	Other assets	$	939	$	816
Interest rate caps	Other assets	71		279
		$	1,010	$	1,095

All derivative transactions with an individual counterparty are governed by a master International Swap and Derivatives Association agreement, which can be considered as a master netting arrangement; however, we report all our derivative instruments on a gross basis in our consolidated financial statements. At both June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, no cash collateral had been posted nor received for any of our derivative positions.

We recognized unrealized losses of $0.3 million and $0.8 million in Other comprehensive income (loss) on derivatives in connection with our interest rate swap and caps during the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and unrealized losses of $0.2 million and $2.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

We reclassified $0.1 million and $0.2 million from Other comprehensive income (loss) on derivatives into Interest expense during the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and $0.2 million and $0.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Amounts reported in Other comprehensive income (loss) related to our interest rate swap and caps will be reclassified to Interest expense as interest expense is incurred on our variable-rate debt. At June 30, 2017, we estimated that an additional $0.1 million, inclusive of amounts attributable to noncontrolling interests of less than $0.1 million, will be reclassified as Interest expense during the next 12 months related to our interest rate swap and caps.

Interest Rate Swap and Caps

We are exposed to the impact of interest rate changes primarily through our borrowing activities. To limit this exposure, we attempt to obtain mortgage financing on a long-term, fixed-rate basis. However, from time to time, we or our investment partners may obtain variable-rate non-recourse and limited-recourse mortgage loans and, as a result, may enter into interest rate swap or cap agreements with counterparties. Interest rate swaps, which effectively convert the variable-rate debt service obligations of a loan to a fixed rate, are agreements in which one party exchanges a stream of interest payments for a counterparty’s stream of cash flow over a specific period. The face amount on which the swaps are based is not exchanged. An interest rate cap limits the effective borrowing rate of variable-rate debt obligations while allowing participants to share in downward shifts in interest rates. Our objective in using these derivatives is to limit our exposure to interest rate movements.

The interest rate swap and caps that we had outstanding on our Consolidated Hotels at June 30, 2017 were designated as cash flow hedges and are summarized as follows (dollars in thousands):



	Number of	Notional		Fair Value at
Interest Rate Derivatives	Instruments	Amount		June 30, 2017
Interest rate swap	1	$	100,000	$	939
Interest rate caps	6	290,340		71
				$	1,010

Credit Risk-Related Contingent Features

We measure our credit exposure on a counterparty basis as the net positive aggregate estimated fair value of our derivatives, net of any collateral received. No collateral was received as of June 30, 2017. At June 30, 2017, our total credit exposure was $1.0 million and the maximum exposure to any single counterparty was $0.9 million.

Some of the agreements we have with our derivative counterparties contain cross-default provisions that could trigger a declaration of default on our derivative obligations if we default, or are capable of being declared in default, on certain of our indebtedness. At June 30, 2017, we had not been declared in default on any of our derivative obligations. At both June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we had no derivatives that were in a net liability position.

Note 8. Debt

Our debt consists of mortgage notes payable, which are collateralized by the assignment of hotel properties. The following table presents the non-recourse and, where indicated, limited-recourse debt, net on our Consolidated Hotels (dollars in thousands):

(a)	These mortgage loans have variable interest rates, which have effectively been capped or converted to fixed rates through the use of interest rate caps or swaps (Note 7). The interest rates presented for these mortgage loans reflect the rates in effect at June 30, 2017 through the use of an interest rate cap or swap, as applicable.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)


(b)	These mortgage loans each have a one-year extension option, which are subject to certain conditions. The maturity dates in the table do not reflect the extension option.


(c)	These mortgage loans have two one-year extension options, which are subject to certain conditions. The maturity dates in the table do not reflect the extension options.


(d)	The debt is comprised of a $34.0 million senior mortgage loan with a floating annual interest rate of London Interbank Offered Rate, or LIBOR, plus 3.0% and a $13.5 million mezzanine loan with a floating annual interest rate of LIBOR plus 10.0%, both subject to interest rate caps. Both loans have a maturity date of August 30, 2019.


(e)	At December 31, 2016, this loan was limited-recourse up to a maximum of $15.0 million, which would terminate upon satisfaction of certain conditions as described in the loan agreement. During the first quarter of 2017, these conditions were met so that the limited-recourse provisions no longer apply, and as a result, this loan was considered to be a non-recourse loan at June 30, 2017.

(f)

At closing, we deposited $10.0 million of the $103.0 million mortgage loan proceeds with the lender to be held as additional collateral for the loan, which will be released back to us upon reaching a certain NOI, as further described in the loan agreement. As of June 30, 2017, this NOI had not yet been reached and the $10.0 million remained in a restricted cash account on our consolidated balance sheet.

Most of our mortgage loan agreements contain “lock-box” provisions, which permit the lender to access or sweep a hotel’s excess cash flow and would be triggered under limited circumstances, including the failure to maintain minimum debt service coverage ratios. If a provision were triggered, we would generally be permitted to spend an amount equal to our budgeted hotel operating expenses, taxes, insurance and capital expenditure reserves for the relevant hotel. The lender would then hold all excess cash flow after the payment of debt service in an escrow account until certain performance hurdles are met.

Financing Activity During 2017

During the first quarter of 2017, in connection with our acquisition of the Ritz-Carlton San Francisco in December 2016, which was financed, in part, by a loan of $210.0 million from WPC (Note 3), we obtained a non-recourse mortgage loan of $143.0 million, with a fixed interest rate of 4.6%. The loan has a maturity date of February 1, 2022 and is interest-only for the full term. We recognized $0.2 million of deferred financing costs related to this loan. We used the proceeds of this loan to repay, in part, the loan from WPC.

During the second quarter of 2017, in connection with our acquisition of the Charlotte Marriott City Center, we obtained a non-recourse mortgage loan of $103.0 million, with a fixed interest rate of 4.5%. The loan has a maturity date of June 1, 2022 and is interest-only for the full term. We recognized $0.7 million of deferred financing costs related to this loan.

Covenants

Pursuant to our mortgage loan agreements, our consolidated subsidiaries are subject to various operational and financial covenants, including minimum debt service coverage ratios. At June 30, 2017, we were in compliance with the applicable covenants for each of our mortgage loans.

Scheduled Debt Principal Payments

Scheduled debt principal payments during the remainder of 2017, each of the next four calendar years following December 31, 2017 and thereafter are as follows (in thousands):

Note 9. Commitments and Contingencies

At June 30, 2017, we were not involved in any material litigation. Various claims and lawsuits may arise against us in the normal course of business, but we do not expect the results of such proceedings to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Pursuant to our advisory agreement, we are liable for certain expenses related to our initial public offering, including filing, legal, accounting, printing, advertising, transfer agent and escrow fees, which are deducted from the gross proceeds of the offering. We reimburse Carey Financial and selected dealers for reasonable bona fide due diligence expenses incurred that are supported by a detailed and itemized invoice. The total underwriting compensation to Carey Financial and selected dealers in connection with the offering cannot exceed limitations prescribed by FINRA. Our Advisor will be reimbursed for all organization expenses and offering costs incurred in connection with our offering (excluding selling commissions and the dealer manager fees) limited to 1.5% of the gross proceeds from the offering. Active fundraising by Carey Financial ceased as of June 30, 2017, with the facilitation of the orderly processing of sales continuing through July 31, 2017. Through June 30, 2017, our Advisor incurred organization and offering costs on our behalf of approximately $8.8 million, all of which we were obligated to pay. Unpaid costs of $0.4 million were included in Due to affiliates in the consolidated financial statements at June 30, 2017.

Hotel Management Agreements

As of June 30, 2017, our Consolidated Hotel properties are operated pursuant to long-term management agreements with four different management companies, with initial terms ranging from five to 40 years. For hotels operated with separate franchise agreements, each management company receives a base management fee, generally ranging from 2.5% to 3.0% of hotel revenues. Five of our management agreements contain the right and license to operate the hotels under specified brands; no separate franchise agreements exist and no separate franchise fee is required for these hotels. The management agreements that include the benefit of a franchise agreement incur a base management fee generally ranging from 3.0% to 7.0% of hotel revenues. The management companies are generally also eligible to receive an incentive management fee, which is typically calculated as a percentage of operating profit, either (i) in excess of projections with a cap or (ii) after we have received a priority return on our investment in the hotel. For the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, we incurred management fee expense, including amortization of deferred management fees, of $3.2 million and $1.6 million, respectively, and $6.1 million and $2.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Franchise Agreements

As of June 30, 2017, we have four franchise agreements with Marriott owned brands and one with a Hilton owned brand related to our Consolidated Hotels. The franchise agreements have initial terms ranging from 20 to 25 years. This number excludes five hotels that receive the benefits of a franchise agreement pursuant to management agreements, as discussed above. Our franchise agreements grant us the right to the use of the brand name, systems and marks with respect to specified hotels and establish various management, operational, record-keeping, accounting, reporting and marketing standards and procedures that the licensed hotel must comply with. In addition, the franchisor establishes requirements for the quality and condition of the hotel and its furniture, fixtures and equipment, and we are obligated to expend such funds as may be required to maintain the hotel in compliance with those requirements. Typically, our franchise agreements provide for a license fee, or royalty, of 3.0% to 6.0% of room revenues and, if applicable, 3.0% of food and beverage revenue. In addition, we generally pay 1.0% to 4.0% of room revenues as marketing and reservation system contributions for the system-wide benefit of brand hotels. Franchise fees are included in sales and marketing expense in our consolidated financial statements. For the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, we incurred franchise fee expense, including amortization of deferred franchise fees, of $1.7 million and $0.9 million, respectively, and $3.1 million and $1.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Renovation Commitments

Certain of our hotel franchise and loan agreements require us to make planned renovations to our Consolidated Hotels (Note 4). We do not currently expect, and are not obligated, to fund any planned renovations on our Unconsolidated Hotel beyond our original investment.

CWI 2 6/30/2017 10-Q – 22

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

At June 30, 2017, three hotels were either undergoing renovation or in the planning stage of renovations, and we currently expect that one will be completed during the first half of 2018 and two will be completed during the second half of 2018. The following table summarizes our capital commitments related to our Consolidated Hotels (in thousands):

(a)	Of our unfunded commitments at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, approximately $3.5 million and $6.2 million, respectively, of unrestricted cash on our balance sheet was designated for renovations.

Capital Expenditures and Reserve Funds

With respect to our hotels that are operated under management or franchise agreements with major international hotel brands and for most of our hotels subject to mortgage loans, we are obligated to maintain furniture, fixtures and equipment reserve accounts for future capital expenditures at these hotels, sufficient to cover the cost of routine improvements and alterations at the hotels. The amount funded into each of these reserve accounts is generally determined pursuant to the management agreements, franchise agreements and/or mortgage loan documents for each of the respective hotels and typically ranges between 1% and 5% of the respective hotel’s total gross revenue. At June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, $14.0 million and $14.3 million, respectively, was held in furniture, fixtures and equipment reserve accounts for future capital expenditures and is included in Restricted cash in the consolidated financial statements.

Share-Based Payments

2015 Equity Incentive Plan

We maintain the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan, which authorizes the issuance of shares of our common stock to our officers and officers and employees of the Subadvisor, who perform services on our behalf, and to non-director members of the investment committee through stock-based awards. The 2015 Equity Incentive Plan provides for the grant of restricted stock units, or RSUs, and dividend equivalent rights. A maximum of 2,000,000 shares may be granted under this plan, of which 1,884,420 shares remained available for future grants at June 30, 2017. During the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, we granted 49,344 RSUs and 42,260 RSUs, respectively, all of which were awarded in the second quarter of the year to employees of the Subadvisor and are scheduled to vest over approximately three years, subject to continued employment.

Shares Granted to Directors

During both the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, we issued 15,384 shares and 10,000 shares, respectively, of Class A common stock to our independent directors, at $10.74 and $10.53 per share, respectively, as part of their director compensation.

We recognized stock-based compensation expense related to the awards of RSUs to employees of the Subadvisor and shares issued to our directors totaling $0.3 million and $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and $0.3 million and $0.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Stock-based compensation expense is included within Corporate general and administrative expenses in the consolidated financial statements.

The awards to employees of the Subadvisor had a weighted-average remaining contractual term of 2.3 years at June 30, 2017. At June 30, 2017, we had 83,751 nonvested RSUs outstanding, and we currently expect to recognize stock-based compensation expense totaling approximately $0.8 million over the remaining vesting period. We have not recognized any income tax benefit in earnings for our share-based compensation arrangements since the inception of this plan.

The following table presents the daily per share distributions declared by our board of directors during the second quarter of 2017, payable in cash and in shares of our Class A and Class T common stock to stockholders of record on each day of the quarter:



	Class A common stock						Class T common stock
Record dates	Cash		Shares		Total		Cash		Shares		Total
April 1, 2017 to April 12, 2017	$	0.0015178	$	0.0003648	$	0.0018826	$	0.0012285	$	0.0003648	$	0.0015933
April 13, 2017 to June 30, 2017	0.0015491		0.0003727		0.0019218		0.0012541		0.0003727		0.0016268

These distributions were paid on July 14, 2017 in the aggregate amount of $10.2 million. Our distributions that are payable in shares of our Class A and Class T common stock are recorded at par value in our consolidated financial statements.

For the six months ended June 30, 2017, our board of directors declared distributions of $18.6 million, including distributions of $8.4 million declared during the three months ended March 31, 2017. We paid distributions totaling $15.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2017, comprised of distributions declared during the three months ended March 31, 2017 and the three months ended December 31, 2016 of $8.4 million and $7.2 million, respectively. See Note 12.

Note 11. Income Taxes

We elected to be treated as a REIT and believe that we have been organized and have operated in such a manner to maintain our qualification as a REIT for federal and state income tax purposes. As a REIT, we are generally not subject to corporate level federal income taxes on earnings distributed to our stockholders. Since inception, we have distributed at least 100% of our taxable income annually and intend to do so for the tax year ending December 31, 2017. Accordingly, we have not included any provisions for federal income taxes related to the REIT in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016. We conduct business in various states and municipalities within the United States, and, as a result, we or one or more of our subsidiaries file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state jurisdictions. As a result, we are subject to certain state and local taxes and a provision for such taxes is included in the consolidated financial statements.

Certain of our subsidiaries have elected taxable REIT subsidiary, or TRS status. A TRS may provide certain services considered impermissible for REITs and may hold assets that REITs may not hold directly. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include an interim tax provision for our TRSs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016. Current income tax expense was $1.6 million and $0.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and $2.5 million and $0.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Our TRSs are subject to U.S. federal and state income taxes. As such, deferred tax assets and liabilities are established for temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of assets and liabilities at the enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when the temporary differences reverse. A valuation allowance for deferred tax assets is provided if we believe that it is more likely than not that we will not realize the tax benefit of deferred tax assets based on available evidence at the time the determination is made. A change in circumstances may cause us to change our judgment about whether a deferred tax asset will more likely than not be realized. We generally report any change in the valuation allowance through our

CWI 2 6/30/2017 10-Q – 25

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

income statement in the period in which such changes in circumstances occur. Deferred tax assets (net of valuation allowance) and liabilities for our TRSs were recorded, as necessary, as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016. Deferred tax assets (net of valuation allowance) totaled $1.5 million and $1.4 million at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively, and are included in Other assets in the consolidated financial statements. The majority of our deferred tax assets relate to net operating losses, accrued expenses and deferred key money liabilities. Provision for income taxes included net deferred income tax expense of $0.1 million for both the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, and net deferred income tax benefit of $0.1 million for both the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016.

Note 12. Subsequent Event

On July 31, 2017, we closed our initial public offering. As a result of the completion of our initial public offering, beginning with the fourth quarter of 2017, we will no longer calculate our distributions based upon daily record and distribution declaration dates, but upon quarterly record and distribution declaration dates.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is intended to provide the reader with information that will assist in understanding our financial statements and the reasons for changes in certain key components of our financial statements from period to period. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations also provides the reader with our perspective on our financial position and liquidity, as well as certain other factors that may affect our future results. Our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with the 2016 Annual Report and subsequent reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

Business Overview

As described in more detail in Item 1 of the 2016 Annual Report, we are a publicly-owned, non-listed REIT that invests in, and through our Advisor, manages and seeks to enhance the value of, our interests in lodging and lodging-related properties. At June 30, 2017, we held ownership interests in 11 hotels, with a total of 4,073 rooms.

As of June 30, 2017, we have raised a total of $844.9 million through our initial public offering, exclusive of DRIP. We currently intend to use the remaining net proceeds of the offering and our DRIP to continue to acquire, own and manage a portfolio of interests in lodging and lodging-related properties, including full-service, select-service and resort hotels. While our core strategy is focused on the lodging industry, we may also invest in other real estate property sectors. Our results of operations are significantly impacted by seasonality, acquisition-related expenses and by hotel renovations. We may invest in hotels and then initiate significant renovations. Generally, during the renovation period, a portion of total rooms are unavailable and hotel operations are often disrupted, negatively impacting our results of operations.

Significant Developments

Public Offering

On February 9, 2015, our Registration Statement on Form S-11 (File No. 333-196681), covering an initial public offering of up to $1.4 billion of Class A shares, was declared effective by the SEC under the Securities Act. The Registration Statement also covered the offering of up to $600.0 million of Class A shares under the DRIP. On April 1, 2015, we filed an amended Registration Statement to include Class T shares in our initial public offering and under our DRIP, which was declared effective by the SEC on April 13, 2015, allowing for the sales of Class A and Class T shares, in any combination, of up to $1.4 billion in the initial public offering and up to $600.0 million through our DRIP. Through June 30, 2017, we raised gross offering proceeds for our Class A common stock and Class T common stock of $278.9 million and $566.0 million, respectively. The offering was temporarily suspended on March 31, 2017 while our Advisor completed the determination of our NAVs as of December 31, 2016 and we updated our offering documents to reflect the NAVs and related changes to the offering prices of our shares, which resulted in our most recent offering prices of $11.93 and $11.28 per Class A share and Class T share, respectively. On June 15, 2017, WPC announced that it would exit all non-traded retail fundraising activities carried out by Carey Financial, effective June 30, 2017. In light of this announcement, active fundraising by Carey Financial ceased as of that date, with the facilitation of the orderly processing of sales continuing through July 31, 2017 when we closed our offering. We will pay the annual distribution and shareholder servicing fees directly to the selected dealers rather than through Carey Financial beginning with the fees for the third quarter of 2017. There is no change in the amount of distribution and shareholder servicing fees that we incur.

Financings

In connection with our acquisition of the Ritz-Carlton San Francisco, which was completed on December 30, 2016, we obtained non-recourse mortgage financing of $143.0 million, with a fixed interest rate of 4.6% and term of five years, during the first quarter of 2017 (Note 8). The net proceeds were used to repay a portion of the $210.0 million loan we received from WPC at the time of acquisition (Note 3). We repaid the remainder of the WPC loan during the first quarter of 2017 using the proceeds from our initial public offering.

In connection with our acquisition of the Charlotte Marriott City Center (Note 4), we obtained non-recourse mortgage financing of $103.0 million, with a fixed interest rate of 4.5% and a term of five years (Note 8).

(a)

We consider the performance metrics listed above, including funds from (used in) operations, or FFO, and modified funds from operations, or MFFO, which are supplemental measures that are not defined by GAAP, or non-GAAP measures, to be important measures in the evaluation of our results of operations and capital resources. We evaluate our results of operations with a primary focus on the ability to generate cash flow necessary to meet our objective of funding distributions to stockholders. See Supplemental Financial Measures below for our definitions of these non-GAAP measures and reconciliations to their most directly comparable GAAP measures.

The comparison of our results period over period is influenced by both the number and size of the hotels consolidated in each of the respective periods. At June 30, 2017, we owned ten Consolidated Hotels, one of which was acquired during the six months ended June 30, 2017. At June 30, 2016, we owned five Consolidated Hotels, two of which were acquired during the six months ended June 30, 2016.

Results of Operations

We evaluate our results of operations with a primary focus on our ability to generate cash flow necessary to meet our objectives of funding distributions to stockholders and increasing the value in our real estate investments. As a result, our assessment of operating results gives less emphasis to the effect of unrealized gains and losses, which may cause fluctuations in net income for comparable periods but have no impact on cash flows, and to other non-cash charges, such as depreciation.

In addition, we use other information that may not be financial in nature, including statistical information, to evaluate the operating performance of our business, such as occupancy rate, average daily rate, or ADR, and revenue per available room, or RevPAR. Occupancy rate, ADR and RevPAR are commonly used measures within the hotel industry to evaluate operating performance. RevPAR, which is calculated as the product of ADR and occupancy rate, is an important statistic for monitoring operating performance at our hotels. Our occupancy rate, ADR and RevPAR performance may be impacted by macroeconomic factors such as U.S. economic conditions, changes in regional and local labor markets, personal income and corporate earnings, business relocation decisions, business and leisure travel, new hotel construction and the pricing strategies of competitors.

CWI 2 6/30/2017 10-Q – 29

As illustrated by the acquisition dates listed in the table above in “Portfolio Overview,” our results are not comparable year over year because of our continued investment activity. Additionally, the comparability of our results year over year are significantly impacted by acquisition-related costs and fees, which are material one-time costs that are expensed as incurred, as well as the timing of renovation activity. We may invest in hotels that then undergo significant renovations. Generally, during the renovation period a portion of total rooms are unavailable and hotel operations are often disrupted, negatively impacting our results of operations. We intend to continue to utilize the capital from our initial public offering and mortgage and other indebtedness to fund our acquisitions, and in some instances, our renovations.

The following table presents our comparative results of operations (in thousands):

Our Same Store Hotels are comprised of our 2015 Acquisitions and our Recently Acquired Hotels are comprised of our 2016 Acquisitions and 2017 Acquisition.

The following table sets forth the average occupancy rate, ADR and RevPAR of our Consolidated Hotels for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016. In the year of acquisition, this information represents data from each hotel’s acquisition date through period end.

RevPAR	207.29			172.65			206.12			164.71

Hotel Revenues

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 as compared to the same periods in 2016, hotel revenues increased by $51.1 million and $101.1 million, respectively, primarily due to increases in revenue from our Recently Acquired Hotels of $51.6 million and $99.9 million, respectively, partially offset by a decrease of $0.5 million in revenue from our Same Store Hotels during the three months ended June 30, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016.

Hotel Expenses

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 as compared to the same periods in 2016, aggregate hotel operating expenses increased by $42.6 million and $84.4 million, respectively, primarily due to increases in expenses from our Recently Acquired Hotels of $41.7 million and $81.9 million, respectively.

Acquisition-Related Expenses

We expense acquisition-related costs and fees associated with acquisitions of our Consolidated Hotels that are accounted for as business combinations as incurred.

For both the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, acquisition-related expenses were $5.0 million and related to our 2017 Acquisition. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, acquisition-related expenses were $2.7 million and $7.5 million, respectively, and related to our acquisition of the Le Méridien Arlington during the second quarter of 2016 totaling $2.7 million and our acquisition of the Seattle Marriott Bellevue during the first quarter of 2016 totaling $4.8 million.

Asset Management Fees to Affiliate and Other

Asset management fees to affiliate and other primarily represent fees paid to our Advisor. We pay our Advisor an annual asset management fee equal to 0.55% of the aggregate Average Market Value of our Investments, as defined in our advisory agreement with our Advisor (Note 3). Our Advisor elected to receive its asset management fees in shares of our Class A common stock for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 as compared to the same periods in 2016, asset management fees to affiliate and other increased by $1.1 million and $2.3 million, respectively, reflecting the impact of our 2016 Acquisitions and 2017 Acquisition, which increased the asset base from which our Advisor earns a fee, as well as an increase in the estimated fair market value of our hotel portfolio, both of which increased the asset base from which our Advisor earns a fee.

CWI 2 6/30/2017 10-Q – 31

Corporate General and Administrative Expenses

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 as compared to the same periods in 2016, corporate general and administrative expenses increased by $0.5 million and $0.9 million, respectively, primarily as a result of an increase in personnel and overhead reimbursement costs of $0.2 million and $0.6 million, respectively, as well as an increase in professional fees of $0.2 million for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 as compared to the same periods in 2016. The increase in personnel and overhead reimbursement costs were primarily driven by an increase in our pro rata hotel revenue relative to CWI 1’s pro rata hotel revenue, which directly impacts the allocation of our Advisor’s expenses to us (Note 3). Professional fees include legal, accounting and investor-related expenses incurred in the normal course of business.

Interest Expense

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 as compared to the same periods in 2016, interest expense increased by $5.2 million and $10.1 million, respectively, primarily as a result of mortgage financing obtained in connection with our 2016 Acquisitions and 2017 Acquisition.

Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests

The following table sets forth our (income) loss attributable to noncontrolling interests (in thousands):

___________


(a)	We acquired our 95.4% interest in this venture on January 22, 2016. The results for the six months ended June 30, 2016 above represent data from its acquisition date through June 30, 2016.

Modified Funds from Operations

MFFO is a non-GAAP measure we use to evaluate our business. For a definition of MFFO and a reconciliation to net loss attributable to CWI 2 stockholders, see Supplemental Financial Measures below.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 as compared to the same periods in 2016, MFFO increased by $7.8 million and $13.4 million, respectively, primarily reflecting operating results from our 2016 Acquisitions and 2017 Acquisition.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our principal demands for funds will be for the acquisition of lodging properties and the payment of acquisition-related expenses, operating expenses, interest and principal on current and future indebtedness, and distributions to stockholders. We currently expect that, for the short-term, the aforementioned cash requirements will be funded by our cash on hand, financings and the remaining capital raised in our initial public offering, which closed on July 31, 2017.

We expect to meet our short-term liquidity requirements through existing cash and escrow balances and cash flow generated from our hotels. We may also use short-term borrowings from our Advisor or its affiliates to fund acquisitions, at our Advisor’s discretion, as described below in Cash Resources. In addition, we may incur indebtedness in connection with the acquisition of real estate, refinance the debt thereon or reinvest the proceeds of financings or refinancings in additional properties. We expect that cash flow from operations will be negatively impacted while we are acquiring hotels and undertaking renovations due to acquisition-related costs, renovation disruption and other administrative costs related to our regulatory reporting requirements specific to each acquisition. Once the proceeds from our initial public offering are fully invested and initial renovations are completed, we believe that our hotels will generate positive cash flow. However, until that occurs, it may be necessary to use offering proceeds, financings or asset sales to fund a portion of our operating activities and distributions. Over time, we expect to meet our long-term liquidity requirements, including funding additional hotel property acquisitions, through cash flow from our hotel portfolio and long-term borrowings.

(a)	The initial offering prices were $10.00 and $9.45 per share for our Class A and Class T shares of common stock, respectively.


(b)	In March 2016, we published our initial annual NAVs, which were determined by our Advisor as of December 31, 2015, and subsequently adjusted our offering prices to $11.70 and $11.05 per share for our Class A and Class T shares of common stock, respectively.


(c)	In April 2017, we published our annual NAVs, which were determined by our Advisor as of December 31, 2016, and subsequently adjusted our offering prices to $11.93 and $11.28 per share for our Class A share and Class T shares of common stock, respectively.

Sources and Uses of Cash During the Period

We use the cash flow generated from hotel operations to meet our normal recurring operating expenses and service debt. Our cash flows fluctuate from period to period due to a number of factors, including the level of sales of our shares through our initial public offering, the financial and operating performance of our hotels, the timing of purchases of hotels, the timing of financings we obtain in connection with our hotel acquisitions and existing hotels, the timing and characterization of distributions from equity method investments in hotels and seasonality in the demand for our hotels. Also, hotels we invest in may undergo renovations, during which they may experience disruptions, possibly resulting in reduced revenue and operating income. Despite these fluctuations, we believe that, as we continue to invest the proceeds from our offering, which closed on July 31, 2017, we will generate sufficient cash from operations and from our equity method investment to meet our normal recurring short-term and long-term liquidity needs. We may also use existing cash resources, the proceeds of mortgage loans, sale of assets, distributions reinvested in our common stock through our DRIP and the issuance of additional equity securities to meet these needs. We assess our ability to access capital on an ongoing basis. Our sources and uses of cash during the period are described below.

Operating Activities

For the six months ended June 30, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016, net cash provided by operating activities increased by $8.8 million, primarily resulting from net cash flow from hotel operations generated by our 2016 Acquisitions and 2017 Acquisition, which more than offset operating costs.

Investing Activities

During the six months ended June 30, 2017, net cash used in investing activities was $190.0 million, primarily as a result of cash outflows for our 2017 Acquisition totaling $168.9 million (Note 4). We funded $11.7 million of capital expenditures for our Consolidated Hotels and placed funds into and released funds from lender-held escrow accounts totaling $41.2 million and $30.2 million, respectively, for renovations and improvements, property taxes and insurance.

CWI 2 6/30/2017 10-Q – 33

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2017 was $231.4 million, primarily as a result of (i) proceeds received from mortgage financings totaling $246.0 million, comprised of $143.0 million obtained during the current year period in connection with our 2016 acquisition of the Ritz-Carlton San Francisco and $103.0 million obtained in connection with our 2017 Acquisition and (ii) $221.8 million in funds raised through the issuance of shares of our common stock in our initial public offering, net of issuance costs, including distributions that were reinvested in shares of our common stock by stockholders through our DRIP.

The inflows were partially offset by (i) the repayment of our note payable to WPC of $210.0 million (Note 3), (ii) cash distributions paid to stockholders of $15.6 million, (iii) distributions to noncontrolling interests totaling $4.7 million, (iv) our purchase of the incentive membership interest in the Courtyard Nashville Downtown for $3.5 million (Note 10) and (v) redemptions of our common stock pursuant to our redemption plan totaling $2.2 million.

Distributions

Our objectives are to generate sufficient cash flow over time to provide stockholders with distributions and to seek investments with potential for capital appreciation throughout varying economic cycles. For the six months ended June 30, 2017, we paid distributions to stockholders, excluding distributions paid in shares of our common stock, totaling $15.6 million, which were comprised of cash distributions of $5.8 million and distributions that were reinvested in shares of our common stock by stockholders through our DRIP of $9.8 million. From Inception through June 30, 2017, we declared distributions, excluding distributions paid in shares of our common stock, to stockholders totaling $44.1 million, which were comprised of cash distributions of $16.4 million and distributions that were reinvested in shares of our common stock by stockholders through our DRIP of $27.7 million.

We believe that FFO, a non-GAAP measure, is the most appropriate metric to evaluate our ability to fund distributions to stockholders. For a discussion of FFO, see Supplemental Financial Measures below. Over the life of our company, the regular quarterly cash distributions we pay are expected to be principally sourced from our FFO or our Cash flow from operations. However, we have funded a portion of our cash distributions to date using net proceeds from our public offering and there can be no assurance that our FFO or our Cash flow from operations will be sufficient to cover our future distributions. FFO and Cash flow from operations are first applied to current period distributions, then to any deficit from prior period cumulative negative FFO and prior period cumulative negative cash flow, respectively, and finally to future period distributions. Our distribution coverage using FFO was approximately 99% and 53% of total distributions declared for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and on a cumulative basis through that date, respectively, with the balance funded with proceeds from our initial public offering. Our distribution coverage using Cash flow from operations was approximately 78% and 81% of total distributions declared for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and on a cumulative basis through that date, respectively, with the balance funded with proceeds from our initial public offering. Until we have fully invested the proceeds of our initial public offering, we expect that in the future, if distributions cannot be fully sourced from FFO or Cash flow from operations, they may be sourced from offering proceeds, borrowings, assets sale proceeds or other sources of cash.

Redemptions

We maintain a quarterly redemption program pursuant to which we may, at the discretion of our board of directors, redeem shares of our common stock from stockholders seeking liquidity. During the six months ended June 30, 2017, we redeemed 118,094 shares and 92,125 shares of our Class A and Class T common stock, respectively, pursuant to our redemption plan, at an average price per share of $10.20 and $10.28, respectively. We fulfilled 39 redemptions requests of our Class A common stock during the six months ended June 30, 2017, comprised of 19 requests received during the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 20 redemption requests received during the three months ended March 31, 2017. We fulfilled 21 redemptions requests of our Class T common stock during the six months ended June 30, 2017, comprised of 13 requests received during the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 8 redemption requests received during the three months ended March 31, 2017. As of the date of this Report, we have fulfilled all of the valid redemption requests that we received during the six months ended June 30, 2017. We funded all share redemptions during the six months ended June 30, 2017 with proceeds from the sale of shares of our common stock pursuant to our DRIP.

(a)	Aggregate debt balance includes deferred financing costs totaling $3.9 million and $3.6 million as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.


(b)	The impact of our derivative instruments are reflected in the weighted-average interest rates.

At December 31, 2016, amounts due to WPC were $210.0 million (Note 3), representing a loan that was used to fund, in part, the 2016 acquisition of the Ritz-Carlton San Francisco. We fully repaid the $210.0 million loan during the first quarter of 2017.

Cash Resources

At June 30, 2017, our cash resources consisted of cash totaling $126.0 million, of which $15.9 million was designated as hotel operating cash. Our cash resources may be used to fund future investments and can be used for working capital needs, debt service and other commitments, such as renovation commitments as noted below.

As of June 30, 2017, we were authorized to borrow up to $250.0 million from WPC, at the sole discretion of the management of WPC, for the purpose of facilitating acquisitions approved by our investment committee (Note 3) pursuant to the then-current authorization by our board and the board of WPC. As of June 30, 2017, there were no borrowings outstanding pursuant to this authorization.

Cash Requirements

During the next 12 months, we expect that our cash requirements will include payments to acquire new investments, paying distributions to our stockholders, reimbursing our Advisor for costs incurred on our behalf, fulfilling our renovation commitments (Note 9), funding lease commitments, making scheduled debt service payments on our mortgage loans and any borrowings from WPC, as well as other normal recurring operating expenses.

We expect to use the remaining proceeds from our initial public offering, as well as cash generated from operations and mortgage financing to fund these cash requirements, in addition to amounts held in escrow to fund our renovation commitments.

CWI 2 6/30/2017 10-Q – 35

Capital Expenditures and Reserve Funds

With respect to our hotels that are operated under management or franchise agreements with major national hotel brands and for most of our hotels subject to mortgage loans, we are obligated to maintain furniture, fixtures and equipment reserve accounts for future capital expenditures at these hotels, sufficient to cover the cost of routine improvements and alterations at the hotels. The amount funded into each of these reserve accounts is generally determined pursuant to the management agreements, franchise agreements and/or mortgage loan documents for each of the respective hotels and typically ranges between 1% and 5% of the respective hotel’s total gross revenue. At June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, $14.0 million and $14.3 million, respectively, was held in furniture, fixtures and equipment reserve accounts for future capital expenditures.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations

Supplemental Financial Measures

In the real estate industry, analysts and investors employ certain non-GAAP supplemental financial measures in order to facilitate meaningful comparisons between periods and among peer companies. Additionally, in the formulation of our goals and in the evaluation of the effectiveness of our strategies, we use FFO and MFFO, which are non-GAAP measures defined by our management. We believe that these measures are useful to investors to consider because they may assist them to better understand and measure the performance of our business over time and against similar companies. A description of FFO and MFFO, and reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures, are provided below.

FFO and MFFO

Due to certain unique operating characteristics of real estate companies, as discussed below, the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT, has promulgated a non-GAAP measure known as FFO, which we believe to be an appropriate supplemental measure, when used in addition to and in conjunction with results presented in accordance with GAAP, to reflect the operating performance of a REIT. The use of FFO is recommended by the REIT industry as a supplemental non-GAAP measure. FFO is not equivalent to nor a substitute for net income or loss as determined under GAAP.

CWI 2 6/30/2017 10-Q – 36

We define FFO, a non-GAAP measure, consistent with the standards established by the White Paper on FFO approved by the Board of Governors of NAREIT, as revised in February 2004. The White Paper defines FFO as net income or loss computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains or losses from sales of property, impairment charges on real estate, and depreciation and amortization from real estate assets; and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and jointly-owned investments. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and jointly-owned investments are calculated to reflect FFO. NAREIT’s definition of FFO does not distinguish between the conventional method of equity accounting and the hypothetical liquidation at book value method of accounting for unconsolidated partnerships and jointly-owned investments.

The historical accounting convention used for real estate assets requires straight-line depreciation of buildings and improvements, which implies that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time, especially if such assets are not adequately maintained or repaired and renovated as required by relevant circumstances in order to maintain the value disclosed. We believe that, since real estate values historically rise and fall with market conditions, including inflation, interest rates, the business cycle, unemployment and consumer spending, presentations of operating results for a REIT using historical accounting for depreciation may be less informative. Historical accounting for real estate involves the use of GAAP. Any other method of accounting for real estate such as the fair value method cannot be construed to be any more accurate or relevant than the comparable methodologies of real estate valuation found in GAAP. Nevertheless, we believe that the use of FFO, which excludes the impact of real estate-related depreciation and amortization, as well as impairment charges of real estate-related assets, provides a more complete understanding of our performance to investors and to management; and when compared year over year, reflects the impact on our operations from trends in occupancy rates, operating costs, general and administrative expenses, and interest costs, which may not be immediately apparent from net income. In particular, we believe it is appropriate to disregard impairment charges, as this is a fair value adjustment that is largely based on market fluctuations and assessments regarding general market conditions, which can change over time. An asset will only be evaluated for impairment if certain impairment indicators exist. For real estate assets held for investment and related intangible assets in which an impairment indicator is identified, we follow a two-step process to determine whether an asset is impaired and to determine the amount of the charge. First, we compare the carrying value of the property’s asset group to the estimated future net undiscounted cash flow that we expect the property’s asset group will generate, including any estimated proceeds from the eventual sale of the property’s asset group. It should be noted, however, the property’s asset group’s estimated fair value is primarily determined using market information from outside sources such as broker quotes or recent comparable sales. In cases where the available market information is not deemed appropriate, we perform a future net cash flow analysis discounted for inherent risk associated with each asset to determine an estimated fair value. While impairment charges are excluded from the calculation of FFO described above, due to the fact that impairments are based on estimated future undiscounted cash flows and the relatively limited term of our operations, it could be difficult to recover any impairment charges. However, FFO and MFFO, as described below, should not be construed to be more relevant or accurate than the current GAAP methodology in calculating net income or in its applicability in evaluating the operating performance of the company. The method utilized to evaluate the value and performance of real estate under GAAP should be construed as a more relevant measure of operational performance and considered more prominently than the non-GAAP measures FFO and MFFO and the adjustments to GAAP in calculating FFO and MFFO.

Changes in the accounting and reporting promulgations under GAAP (for acquisition fees and expenses from a capitalization/depreciation model to an expensed-as-incurred model) were put into effect in 2009. These changes to GAAP accounting for real estate subsequent to the establishment of NAREIT’s definition of FFO have prompted an increase in cash-settled expenses, such as acquisition fees that are typically accounted for as operating expenses. Management believes these fees and expenses do not affect our overall long-term operating performance. Publicly-registered, non-listed REITs typically have a significant amount of acquisition activity and are substantially more dynamic during their initial years of investment and operation. While other start-up entities may also experience significant acquisition activity during their initial years, we believe that non-listed REITs are unique in that they have a limited life with targeted exit strategies within a relatively limited time frame after acquisition activity ceases. We intend to begin the process of achieving a liquidity event (i.e., listing of our common stock on a national exchange, a merger or sale of our assets or another similar transaction) not later than six years following the conclusion of our initial public offering, which occurred in July 2017. Thus, we intend to have a limited life. Due to the above factors and other unique features of publicly registered, non-listed REITs, the Investment Program Association, an industry trade group, has standardized a measure known as MFFO, which the Investment Program Association has recommended as a supplemental measure for publicly registered non-listed REITs and which we believe to be another appropriate non-GAAP measure to reflect the operating performance of a non-listed REIT having the characteristics described above. MFFO is not equivalent to our net income or loss as determined under GAAP, and MFFO may not be a useful measure of the impact of long-term operating performance on value if we do not continue to operate with a limited life and targeted exit strategy, as currently intended. We believe that, because MFFO excludes costs that we consider more reflective of investing activities and other non-operating items included in FFO and also excludes acquisition fees and expenses that affect our operations only in periods in which properties are acquired, MFFO can provide, on a going forward basis, an indication of the sustainability (that is, the capacity to continue to be maintained) of our operating performance after the period in which we are acquiring properties and

CWI 2 6/30/2017 10-Q – 37

once our portfolio is in place. By providing MFFO, we believe we are presenting useful information that assists investors and analysts to better assess the sustainability of our operating performance after our offering has been completed and once essentially all of our properties have been acquired. We also believe that MFFO is a recognized measure of sustainable operating performance by the non-listed REIT industry. Further, we believe MFFO is useful in comparing the sustainability of our operating performance, with the sustainability of the operating performance of other real estate companies that are not as involved in acquisition activities. MFFO should only be used to assess the sustainability of a company’s operating performance after a company’s offering has been completed and properties have been acquired, as it excludes acquisition costs that have a negative effect on a company’s operating performance during the periods in which properties are acquired.

We define MFFO consistent with the Investment Program Association’s Guideline 2010-01, Supplemental Performance Measure for Publicly Registered, Non-Listed REITs: Modified Funds from Operations, or the Practice Guideline, issued by the Investment Program Association in November 2010. This Practice Guideline defines MFFO as FFO further adjusted for the following items, included in the determination of GAAP net income, as applicable: acquisition fees and expenses; accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums on debt investments; where applicable, payments of loan principal made by our equity investees accounted for under the hypothetical liquidation model where such payments reduce our equity in earnings of equity method investments in real estate, nonrecurring impairments of real estate-related investments (i.e., infrequent or unusual, not reasonably likely to recur in the ordinary course of business); mark-to-market adjustments included in net income; nonrecurring gains or losses included in net income from the extinguishment or sale of debt, hedges, derivatives or securities holdings, where trading of such holdings is not a fundamental attribute of the business plan, unrealized gains or losses resulting from consolidation from, or deconsolidation to, equity accounting, and after adjustments for Consolidated and Unconsolidated Hotels, with such adjustments calculated to reflect MFFO on the same basis. The accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums on debt investments, unrealized gains and losses on hedges, derivatives or securities holdings, unrealized gains and losses resulting from consolidations, as well as other listed cash flow adjustments are adjustments made to net income in calculating the cash flows provided by operating activities and, in some cases, reflect gains or losses that are unrealized and may not ultimately be realized.

Our MFFO calculation complies with the Investment Program Association’s Practice Guideline described above. In calculating MFFO, we exclude acquisition-related expenses, fair value adjustments of derivative financial instruments and the adjustments of such items related to noncontrolling interests. Under GAAP, acquisition fees and expenses are characterized as operating expenses in determining operating net income. These expenses are paid in cash by a company. All paid and accrued acquisition fees and expenses will have negative effects on returns to investors, the potential for future distributions, and cash flows generated by the company, unless earnings from operations or net sales proceeds from the disposition of other properties are generated to cover the purchase price of the property, these fees and expenses and other costs related to such property. Further, under GAAP, certain contemplated non-cash fair value and other non-cash adjustments are considered operating non-cash adjustments to net income in determining cash flow from operating activities. We account for certain of our equity investments using the hypothetical liquidation model which is based on distributable cash as defined in the operating agreement.

Our management uses MFFO and the adjustments used to calculate it in order to evaluate our performance against other non-listed REITs, which have limited lives with short and defined acquisition periods and targeted exit strategies shortly thereafter. As noted above, MFFO may not be a useful measure of the impact of long-term operating performance on value if we do not continue to operate in this manner. We believe that MFFO and the adjustments used to calculate it allow us to present our performance in a manner that takes into account certain characteristics unique to non-listed REITs, such as their limited life, defined acquisition period and targeted exit strategy, and is therefore a useful measure for investors. For example, acquisition costs are generally funded from the proceeds of our offering and other financing sources and not from operations. By excluding expensed acquisition costs, the use of MFFO provides information consistent with management’s analysis of the operating performance of the properties. Additionally, fair value adjustments, which are based on the impact of current market fluctuations and underlying assessments of general market conditions, but can also result from operational factors such as rental and occupancy rates, may not be directly related or attributable to our current operating performance. By excluding such changes that may reflect anticipated and unrealized gains or losses, we believe MFFO provides useful supplemental information.

Presentation of this information is intended to provide useful information to investors as they compare the operating performance of different REITs, although it should be noted that not all REITs calculate FFO and MFFO the same way, so comparisons with other REITs may not be meaningful. Furthermore, FFO and MFFO are not necessarily indicative of cash flow available to fund cash needs and should not be considered as an alternative to net income as an indication of our performance, as an alternative to cash flows from operations as an indication of our liquidity, or indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs including our ability to make distributions to our stockholders. FFO and MFFO should be reviewed in conjunction with other GAAP measurements as an indication of our performance.

CWI 2 6/30/2017 10-Q – 38

Neither the SEC, NAREIT nor any other regulatory body has passed judgment on the acceptability of the adjustments that we use to calculate FFO or MFFO. In the future, the SEC, NAREIT or another regulatory body may decide to standardize the allowable adjustments across the non-listed REIT industry and we would have to adjust our calculation and characterization of FFO and MFFO accordingly.

___________

(a)

In evaluating investments in real estate, management differentiates the costs to acquire the investment from the operations derived from the investment. Such information would be comparable only for non-listed REITs that have completed their acquisition activity and have other similar operating characteristics. By excluding expensed acquisition costs, management believes MFFO provides useful supplemental information that is comparable for each type of real estate investment and is consistent with management’s analysis of the investing and operating performance of our properties. Acquisition fees and expenses include payments to our Advisor or third parties. Acquisition fees and expenses under GAAP are considered operating expenses and as expenses included in the determination of net income and income from continuing operations, both of which are performance measures under GAAP. All paid and accrued acquisition fees and expenses will have negative effects on returns to investors, the potential for future distributions, and cash flows generated by us, unless earnings from operations or net sales proceeds from the disposition of properties are generated to cover the purchase price of the property, these fees and expenses and other costs related to the property.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Market Risk

We currently have limited exposure to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates. We currently have no foreign operations and are not exposed to foreign currency fluctuations. At June 30, 2017, we held ownership interests in ten Consolidated Hotels and one Unconsolidated Hotel, and operate in the states of California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia and Washington. Collectively, ten of our hotels are operated under the Marriott brands and one hotel is operated under the Hilton brand. These results reflect the impact of the merger of Marriott and Starwood during the third quarter of 2016.

Interest Rate Risk

The values of our real estate and related fixed-rate debt obligations are subject to fluctuations based on changes in interest rates. The value of our real estate is also subject to fluctuations based on local and regional economic conditions, which may affect our ability to refinance property-level mortgage debt when balloon payments are scheduled, if we do not choose to repay the debt when due. Interest rates are highly sensitive to many factors, including governmental monetary and tax policies, domestic and international economic and political conditions, and other factors beyond our control. An increase in interest rates would likely cause the fair value of our assets to decrease.

We are exposed to the impact of interest rate changes primarily through our borrowing activities. To limit this exposure, we have attempted to obtain mortgage financing on a long-term, fixed-rate basis. However, from time to time, we or our joint investment partners have obtained, and may in the future obtain, variable-rate mortgage loans, and, as a result, we have entered into, and may continue to enter into, interest rate swap agreements or interest rate cap agreements with lenders. Interest rate swap agreements effectively convert the variable-rate debt service obligations of a loan to a fixed rate, while interest rate cap agreements limit the underlying interest rate from exceeding a specified strike rate. Interest rate swaps are agreements in which one party exchanges a stream of interest payments for a counterparty’s stream of cash flows over a specific period, and interest rate caps limit the effective borrowing rate of variable-rate debt obligations while allowing participants to share in downward shifts in interest rates. These interest rate swaps and caps are derivative instruments that, where applicable, are designated as cash flow hedges on the forecasted interest payments on the debt obligation. The face amount on which the swaps or caps are based is not exchanged. Our objective in using these derivatives is to limit our exposure to interest rate movements.

At June 30, 2017, we estimated that the total fair value of our interest rate swap and caps, which are included in Other assets in the consolidated financial statements, was in an asset position of $1.0 million (Note 7).

At June 30, 2017, all of our long-term debt bore interest at fixed rates or was subject to an interest rate cap or swap. The annual interest rate on our fixed debt at June 30, 2017 ranged from 3.9% to 4.6%. The contractual annual interest rates on our variable-rate debt at June 30, 2017 ranged from 3.5% to 11.1%. The weighted-average interest rate of our fixed rate and variable rate debt was 4.3% and 4.2%, respectively, at June 30, 2017. Our debt obligations are more fully described under Liquidity and Capital Resources in Item 2 above. The following table presents principal cash outflows for our Consolidated Hotels based upon expected maturity dates of our debt obligations outstanding at June 30, 2017 and excludes deferred financing costs (in thousands):



	2017		2018		2019		2020		2021		Thereafter		Total		Fair Value
Fixed-rate debt	$	—	$	—	$	2,394	$	3,352	$	3,488	$	421,766	$	431,000	$	427,707
Variable-rate debt	$	480	$	960	$	256,165	$	132,735	$	—	$	—	$	390,340	$	393,960

The estimated fair value of our fixed-rate debt and our variable-rate debt that currently bears interest at fixed rates or has effectively been converted to a fixed rate through the use of an interest rate swap, or that has been subject to an interest rate cap, is affected by changes in interest rates. A decrease or increase in interest rates of 1.0% would change the estimated fair value of this debt at June 30, 2017 by an aggregate increase of $22.7 million or an aggregate decrease of $28.1 million, respectively. Annual interest expense on our variable-rate debt that is subject to an interest rate cap at June 30, 2017 would increase or decrease by $2.9 million for each respective 1.0% change in annual interest rates.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our disclosure controls and procedures include internal controls and other procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in this and other reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the required time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms; and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. It should be noted that no system of controls can provide complete assurance of achieving a company’s objectives and that future events may impact the effectiveness of a system of controls.

Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, after conducting an evaluation, together with members of our management, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2017, have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were effective as of June 30, 2017 at a reasonable level of assurance.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

During the three months ended June 30, 2017, we issued 185,170 shares of Class A common stock to our Advisor as consideration for asset management fees. These shares were issued at our most recently published NAV of $10.74 per share. Since none of these transactions were considered to have involved a “public offering” within the meaning of Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, the shares issued were deemed to be exempt from registration. In acquiring our shares, our Advisor represented that such interests were being acquired by it for investment purposes and not with a view to the distribution thereof. From Inception through June 30, 2017, we have issued a total of 812,448 shares of our Class A common stock to our Advisor as consideration for asset management fees. These shares were either issued at the NAV published at that time or, prior to the initial NAV being published, $10.00 per share, which is the price at which our shares of our Class A common stock were sold in our initial public offering prior to the NAV being published.

Use of Offering Proceeds

Our Registration Statement (File No. 333-196681) for our initial public offering was initially declared effective by the SEC on February 9, 2015 with respect to our Class A shares. On April 1, 2015, we filed an amended registration statement to include Class T shares in our initial public offering, which was declared effective by the SEC on April 13, 2015. We closed our public offering on July 31, 2017. As of June 30, 2017, the cumulative use of proceeds from our initial public offering was as follows (dollars in thousands):



	Common Stock
	Class A			Class T			Total
Shares registered ^(a)	46,940,486			74,468,085			121,408,571

(a)	These amounts are based on the assumption that the shares sold in our initial public offering were composed of 40% Class A common stock and 60% Class T common stock and that the shares were being sold at our most recent offering prices of $11.93 and $11.28 per share, respectively.

(a)

Represents shares of our Class A and Class T common stock repurchased under our redemption plan, pursuant to which we may elect to redeem shares at the request of our stockholders who have held their shares for at least one year from the date of their issuance, subject to certain exceptions, conditions and limitations. The maximum amount of shares purchasable by us in any period depends on a number of factors and is at the discretion of our board of directors. We generally receive fees in connection with share redemptions. The average price paid per share will vary depending on the number of redemption requests that were made during the period, the number of redemption requests that qualify for special circumstances and the most recently published NAV.


(b)	The requests for these redemptions were received during the three months ended March 31, 2017 and were deferred by our board of directors to April 2017 in order to correspond with the announcement of our updated NAVs as of December 31, 2016, which serves as the basis for the redemption price under the program.
