Xenia has been recognized as one of America's Most Responsible Companies by Newsweek. However, the company's financial performance is subject to various risks and uncertainties, including those associated with the hotel industry and its concentration in luxury and upper upscale hotels.

The company's hotels are booked through a variety of distribution channels, including hotel websites, travel agents, internet travel intermediaries, and meeting procurement firms. The long-term growth of the company depends in part on successfully identifying and consummating acquisitions of additional hotels, and the failure to make such acquisitions could materially impede the company's growth.

Xenia's acquisition and/or disposition of a hotel or a portfolio of hotels is typically subject to contingencies, risks, and uncertainties, any of which may cause the company to be unsuccessful in completing the acquisition and/or disposition. The company may be subject to unknown or contingent liabilities related to recently acquired hotels and the hotels that it may acquire in the future, which could materially and adversely affect the company's revenues and profitability.
