ABOUT SOTHERLY HOTELS

At Sotherly Hotels, we believe guests are the heart of
every hotel—so we make true Southern hospitality the
heart of everything we do. Every Sotherly Hotel
delivers a uniquely authentic local experience that lets
guests see, feel, taste and enjoy our cities to their
fullest.

Generations of experience have taught us that guests
want their hotel to feel like a natural extension of the
city — to seamlessly blend like a front porch into a
Southern night sky. They want to feel like “locals,” not
visitors. And that's exactly what we do. From first
hellos to fond farewells, our trademark Southern
charm is woven into every experience, making guests
feel so connected to and refreshed by our cities’
cultures that they’ll feel right at home. Because they
are.

Our guests are like family, and our passion for turning
moments into memories is the promise we make that
keeps them coming back time and time again. And at
the end of the day, we believe happy guests make for
happy shareholders.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

This presentation included disclosure of non-GAAP measures,
including funds from operations (“FFO”), adjusted FFO
(“AFFO”), earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and
amortization (“EBITDA”), adjusted EBITDA and hotel EDITDA.
The Company considers FFO, AFFO, EBITDA, adjusted
EBITDA and hotel EBITDA to be key supplemental measures of
the Company’s performance, and they should be considered along
with, but not as alternatives to, net income as a measure of the
Company’s operating performance. None of FFO, AFFO,
EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and hotel EBITDA represent cash
generated from operating activities determined by GAAP and          BOARD & BARREL @ HOTEL BALLAST WILMINGTON
should not be considered as alternatives to net income, cash flow
from operations or any other operating performance measure
prescribed by GAAP. None of FFO, AFFO, EBITDA, adjusted
EBITDA and hotel EBITDA are measures of the Company’s
liquidity, nor are FFO, AFFO, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and
hotel EBITDA indicative of funds available to fund the
Company’s cash needs, including its ability to make cash
distributions. Please refer to the Company’s filings with the SEC
and its earnings releases, which are available at
www.sotherlyhotels.com, for disclosure of the Company’s net
income, for reconciliations of FFO, AFFO, EBITDA, adjusted
EBITDA and hotel EBITDA to net income and for additional             PART & PARCEL @ THE WHITEHALL HOUSTON

This presentation includes “forward-looking statements” within the
meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and
Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933. Although the Company
believes that the expectations and assumptions reflected in the forward-
looking statements are reasonable, these statements are not guarantees of
future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and

market areas, the Company’s ability to acquire additional properties and
the risk that potential acquisitions may not perform in accordance with
expectations, legislative/regulatory changes, including changes to laws
governing taxation of real estate investment trust and competitions, and
other factors may affect the Company’s future results, performance and
achievements. These risks and uncertainties are described in greater
detail under “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form
10-K and subsequent reports filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission. The Company undertakes no obligation and does not
intend to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement,

reasonable assumptions, we can give no assurance that our expectations
will be attained or that actual results will not differ materially.         DOUBLETREE BY HILTON RESORT

STRATEGIC RATIONALE AND RESULTS

 • The Company continues to view it’s stock as an attractive             THE DESOTO SAVANNAH
   investment opportunity and therefore has continued to manage
   its capital allocation with that in mind.

 • In 2017, after several acquisition opportunities did not
   materialize, it was determined that utilizing the buyback
   program was an appropriate use of cash on hand and executed
   accordingly.

 • Moving forward, the buyback program remains a viable option
   for capital allocation at discounted prices, however
   Management continues to believe that growth through
   opportunistic acquisitions will produce the greatest returns for
   shareholders over the long-term and will prioritize its
   investment decisions with that in mind                               HYATT CENTRIC ARLINGTON
