Today, we released our 1Q results and will host a conference call tomorrow at 11 AM ET. Richard Stockton, President & CEO, commented on the results, "Several of our resort properties delivered strong performance during the first quarter. Despite a challenging year-over-year comparison from the 2023 Super Bowl, our Four Seasons Resort Scottsdale at Troon North achieved almost 8% growth in Hotel EBITDA. Our Ritz-Carlton Reserve Dorado Beach also had a great quarter with Hotel EBITDA growth of 24% during the quarter. We are also pleased to report that we have repaid the loan on the Cameo Beverly Hills with cash on hand. As we look ahead, we believe our portfolio is well-positioned to outperform in both the near-term and long-term. We are also pleased to announce the planned sale of the Hilton La Jolla Torrey Pines at an attractive cap rate, the preferred share redemption program, and the share buyback authorization. Our recently announced shareholder value creation plan demonstrates our focus on maximizing value for our investors."
