(1)
Represents the Company’s percentage share of net assets of the investee per the investee’s books and records.
(2)
Represents the difference between the basis at which the investments in unconsolidated ventures are carried by the Company and the Company's proportionate share of the equity method investee's net assets. To the extent that the Company’s cost basis is different from the basis reflected at the joint venture level, the basis difference is generally amortized over the lives of the related assets and liabilities, and such amortization is included in the Company’s share of equity in earnings of the joint venture.
(3)
The Company owns greater than 50% of the outstanding common equity but is not deemed to be the primary beneficiary or have a controlling financial interest of the investee and as such, accounts for the investee using the equity method.
(4)
The Company owns 100% of Las Vegas Land Owner, LLC which owns 77% of a joint venture that owns an 8.5 acre tract of land (the "Tivoli North Property"). Through a tenants in common arrangement, the Company shares control and as such accounts for this investment using the equity method.
(5)
The Company has a 50% non-controlling interest in Claymore Holdings, LLC (“Claymore”) and Allenby, LLC. The Company has determined it is not the primary beneficiary and does not consolidate these entities.
(6)
The Company owns less than 20% of the investee but has significant influence due to members of the management team serving on the board of the investee or its parent and as such, accounts for the investee using the equity method.
(7)
The Company has a 31% non-controlling interest in Haygood, LLC. The Company has determined it is not the primary beneficiary and does not consolidate this entity.
(8)
The Company owns less than 20% of the investee but has significant influence due to the legal nature of a partnership that implies an inherent right to influence the operating and financial policies of the partnership.
(9)
The Company owns 100% of the preferred units in AMS C-Store JV, LLC but is not deemed to be the primary beneficiary and does not have a controlling financial interest of the investee and as such, accounts for the investee using the equity method.

Marriott Uptown Basis

As of December 31, 2025, the Company held an equity method investment in AM Uptown, LLC (“Marriott Uptown”). The Company accounts for this investment under the equity method of accounting, as it has the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies.

During 2025, the Company received cash distributions that exceeded the Company’s equity method investment balance. Because the Company has continuing obligations to Marriott Uptown, including a guarantee of certain recourse carve-outs, commonly referred to as “bad boy” guarantees, the excess of distributions over the carrying value of the investment was not recognized as a gain. Instead, the Company recorded a liability, which is presented within “Accounts payable and other accrued liabilities” on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The Company will continue to evaluate the investment for indications of other-than-temporary impairment and will assess whether its obligations under the guarantee require recognition of additional liabilities.

Significant Equity Method Investments

For its annual reporting, the Company assesses and presents summarized financial information for its significant equity method investments in accordance with Rule 8-03(b)(3) of Regulation S-X. The Company reports the financial information on a three-month lag, to align with the availability of investee financials. NexPoint Real Estate Finance, Inc. ("NREF"), VineBrook Homes Trust, Inc. ("VineBrook") and NexPoint Storage Partners, Inc. (“NSP”) do not prepare standalone financials for their operating companies as all operations and investments are owned through their operating companies and are consolidated by the corporate entities.
