LuxUrban Hotels Inc. (LUXH) leases entire existing hotels on a long-term basis and rents out hotel rooms in the properties it leases. It currently has a portfolio of hotel rooms in New York, Miami Beach, New Orleans, and Los Angeles through long-term lease agreements and manages these hotels directly. Its revenues are generated through the rental of rooms to guests and through ancillary services such as cancellable room rate fees, resort fees, late and early check-in and check-out fees, baggage fees, parking fees, grab and go food service fees, and upgrade fees.
In late 2021, LUXH commenced the process of winding down its legacy business of leasing and re-leasing multifamily residential units, as it pivoted toward its new strategy of leasing hotels. This wind-down was substantially completed by the end of 2022. This legacy business was conducted under the names SoBeNY Partners LLC (“SoBeNY”) and CorpHousing Group Inc. (“CorpHousing”).
The consolidated financial statements presented herein include the accounts of LuxUrban Hotels Inc. (“LuxUrban”) and its wholly owned subsidiary SoBeNY. On November 2, 2022, CorpHousing changed its name to LuxUrban Hotels Inc. In June 2021, the members of SoBeNY exchanged all of their membership interests for additional membership interests in Corphousing LLC, with SoBeNY becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of Corphousing LLC. Both entities were under common control at the time of the transaction. Since there was no change in control over the net assets, there is no change in basis in the net assets.
In January 2022, Corphousing LLC and its wholly owned subsidiary, SoBeNY, converted into C corporations, with the then current members of Corphousing LLC becoming the stockholders of the newly formed C corporation, CorpHousing Group Inc. The conversion has no effect on our business or operations and was undertaken to convert the forms of these legal entities into corporations for purposes of operating as a public company. All properties, rights, businesses, operations, duties, obligations and liabilities of the predecessor limited liability companies remain those of CorpHousing Group Inc. and SoBeNY Partners Inc.
In August 2023, the Company entered into franchise agreements with Wyndham Hotels & Resorts, Inc. pursuant to which the hotels operated by the Company were to become part of the Trademark Collection® by Wyndham and Travelodge by Wyndham brands while staying under the operational control of the Company.
In May 2024, in light of discussions between our Company and Wyndham on the initial and projected future performance of our properties within the franchise relationships, we commenced the return of all property listings to our control, terminating our franchise relationship with Wyndham. The Company is currently in the process of de-platforming these properties from Wyndham’s systems and moving each hotel listing back under the Company’s control. The Company expects that this process will be completed by the end of May 2024 with minimal operational disruption, although unforeseen risks could cause delays. As part of the Company’s previously announced imitative to add industry depth and breadth to its board of directors and management to help evolve operations, the Company’s enhanced board and executive teams have reviewed all existing operational relationships. Given the Company’s operating model, it was concluded that over the long term the Company would be better served operationally and financially by operating the hotels as an independent operator.
All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
