Chatham Lodging Trust's 2025 Annual Report (10-K) presents a significant contradiction to the previously announced Q4 2025 results. While a recent 8-K (filed 2026-02-25) indicated a '5% rise in Adjusted FFO per share', the 10-K reveals a 5.5% *decline* in Adjusted FFO per diluted share for the full year 2025 ($1.02) compared to 2024 ($1.08). This material discrepancy is a major negative signal. Operationally, the company experienced a 7.0% decrease in total revenue and a decline in Adjusted Hotel EBITDA. Despite these challenges, the company successfully refinanced its credit facility and term loan, increasing total commitments to $500 million (with an accordion feature up to $650 million) and reducing its leverage ratio. It also actively repurchased shares, totaling $9.0 million in 2025 and an additional $3.6 million in early 2026, demonstrating a commitment to shareholder returns. However, the FFO per share contradiction and operational headwinds are likely to be the primary focus for investors.
