XENIA HOTELS & RESORTS REPORTS FIRST QUARTER 2015 RESULTS

Orlando, FL – May 14, 2015 – Xenia Hotels & Resorts, Inc. (NYSE: XHR) (“Xenia” or the “Company”) today announced results for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The Company’s results include the following:

“Same-Property” results include the results for all hotels owned as of March 31, 2015, except for the two hotels under development, include periods prior to the Company’s ownership of the Aston Waikiki Beach Resort, and exclude the results of operations of the Crowne Plaza Charleston, Doubletree Suites Atlanta Galleria, and Holiday Inn Secaucus, all of which were disposed of in 2014. Results also include renovation and remediation disruption, and exclude the NOI guaranty payment at one hotel.

The Company’s historical financial statements have been “carved out” of InvenTrust Properties Corp.’s (“InvenTrust”) financial statements and reflect significant assumptions and allocations from those financial statements, such as allocations of corporate debt, shared services functions, employee-related costs and other corporate overhead. Based on these presentation matters, these financial statements may not be comparable to prior periods.

First Quarter 2015 Highlights

“We are pleased with our first quarter results, and more specifically with our ADR growth of 5.1% and strong-flow through at the hotel level.” said Marcel Verbaas, President and Chief Executive Officer of Xenia Hotels & Resorts. “Our strong year-over-year ADR growth helped offset a slight decrease in occupancy due to several significant capital investment projects ongoing throughout the quarter. We are optimistic as we look forward to the remainder of 2015 and are confident in our ability to take advantage of continued positive lodging industry dynamics.”

During the first quarter, the Company had total general and administrative expenses of $7.0 million, which includes $1.7 million of amortization of share-based compensation for management and the board of directors. In addition, the Company had $25.3 million of one-time expenses associated with the separation from InvenTrust, listing on the NYSE, completion of the Dutch tender offer and other start-up costs incurred while transitioning to an independent, publicly-traded company.

Also during the first quarter, the Company recorded business interruption insurance proceeds of $3.7 million related to the estimated losses at the Andaz Napa, which was impacted by the August 2014 earthquake in Northern California. The Company anticipates receiving approximately $5.0 to $6.0 million of business interruption insurance proceeds for losses suffered in 2014. The Company has spent approximately $7.3 million through the end of the first quarter to remediate the damage at the two hotels, all of which is expected to be reimbursed through property insurance proceeds.

Hotels Under Development

The Grand Bohemian Charleston, a 50-room Autograph Collection hotel located in Charleston, South Carolina in which Xenia owns a 75% interest, is expected to open in the third quarter of 2015. Total costs to develop the hotel are estimated to be approximately $30 million, of which $23.9 million has been incurred to date.

The Grand Bohemian Mountain Brook, a 100-room Autograph Collection hotel located in an upscale suburb of Birmingham, Alabama in which Xenia owns a 75% interest, is expected to open in the fourth quarter of 2015. Total costs to develop the hotel are estimated to be approximately $43 million, of which $27.3 million has been incurred to date.

Capital Investments

The Company invested $16.4 million of capital in its hotels during the first quarter 2015 (excluding expenditures to remediate the Napa earthquake damage) and completed two significant capital projects. The Hyatt Regency Santa Clara completed a $7.6 million guest room renovation and the Aston Waikiki Beach Resort completed a $2.3 million pool deck renovation, both of which were started in the fourth quarter of 2014. The $18.3 million Marriott San Francisco Airport Waterfront renovation has also been underway since the fourth quarter of 2014, and significant progress has been made on its guest room renovation and bathroom conversion project, with full completion and the addition of three guest rooms anticipated in the second quarter of 2015. Additionally during the quarter, the Company created three new rooms at the Hyatt Regency Orange County as a result of conversion of a former general manager’s apartment.

Balance Sheet

As of March 31, 2015, the Company had total outstanding debt of $1.2 billion, with no outstanding borrowings on its $400 million senior unsecured credit facility and a weighted average interest rate of 4.01%. Total net debt to trailing 12 month pro forma Corporate EBITDA (as defined in the Company’s senior unsecured credit facility) was 3.7x as of March 31, 2015. As of March 31, 2015, the Company had $238.1 million of cash and cash equivalents.

2015 Outlook and Guidance

The Company’s outlook for 2015 is based on the current economic environment, incorporates all expected renovation disruption, assumes no acquisitions or dispositions, and includes the completion of its two development properties, both of which are anticipated in the second half of the year. The Company’s 2015 capital expenditure range includes the renovation projects during the quarter, but excludes earthquake damage remediation at the Andaz Napa. The Company’s financial expectations for 2015 are as follows:

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company considers the following non-GAAP financial measures useful to investors as key supplemental measures of operating performance: EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, FFO and Adjusted FFO. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered along with, but not as alternatives to, net income or loss, operating profit, cash from operations, or any other operating performance measure as prescribed per GAAP.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

EBITDA is a commonly used measure of performance in many industries and is defined as net income or loss (calculated in accordance with GAAP) excluding interest expense, provision for income taxes (including income taxes applicable to sale of assets) and depreciation and amortization. The Company considers EBITDA useful to an investor regarding results of operations, in evaluating and facilitating comparisons of operating performance between periods and between REITs by removing the impact of capital structure (primarily interest expense) and asset base (primarily depreciation and amortization) from operating results, even though EBITDA does not represent an amount that accrues directly to common stockholders. In addition, EBITDA is used as one measure in determining the value of hotel acquisitions and dispositions and along with FFO and Adjusted FFO, it is used by management in the annual budget process for compensation programs.

The Company further adjusts EBITDA for certain additional items such as hotel property acquisitions and pursuit costs, amortization of share-based compensation, equity investment adjustments, the cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles, impairment of real estate assets, operating results from properties sold and other costs it believes do not represent recurring operations and are not indicative of the performance of its underlying hotel property entities. The Company believes Adjusted EBITDA provides investors with another financial measure in evaluating and facilitating comparison of operating performance between periods and between REITs that report similar measures.

FFO and Adjusted FFO

The Company calculates FFO in accordance with standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT), which defines FFO as net income or loss (calculated in accordance with GAAP), excluding real estate-related depreciation, amortization and impairments, gains (losses) from sales of real estate, the cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles, similar adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures, and items classified by GAAP as extraordinary. Historical cost accounting for real estate assets implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values instead have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, most industry investors consider presentations of operating results for real estate companies that use historical cost accounting to be insufficient by themselves. The Company believes that the presentation of FFO provides useful supplemental information to investors regarding operating performance by excluding the effect of real estate depreciation and amortization, gains (losses) from sales for real estate, impairments of real estate assets, extraordinary items and the portion of these items related to unconsolidated entities, all of which are based on historical cost accounting and which may be of lesser significance in evaluating current performance. The Company believes that the presentation of FFO can facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods and between REITs, even though FFO does not represent an amount that accrues directly to common stockholders. The calculation of FFO may not be comparable to measures calculated by other companies who do not use the NAREIT definition of FFO or do not calculate FFO per diluted share in accordance with NAREIT guidance. Additionally, FFO may not be helpful when comparing Xenia to non-REITs.

The Company further adjusts FFO for certain additional items that are not in NAREIT’s definition of FFO such as hotel property acquisition and pursuit costs, amortization of debt origination costs and share-based compensation, operating results from properties that are sold and other expenses it believes do not represent recurring operations. The Company believes that Adjusted FFO provides investors with useful supplemental information that may facilitate comparisons of ongoing operating performance between periods and between REITs that make similar adjustments to FFO and is beneficial to investors’ complete understanding of operating performance.
