The increase was primarily due to a decrease in net fair value loss of $ 155.1 million and an increase in uity income of $ 25.5 million , partially offset by a higher provision for hotel impairment of $ 28.1 million and an increase in deferred income tax expense of $ 30.0 million . ● Normalized FFO was $ 41.4 million , or $ 3.73 per common share , for the three months ended June 30 , 2021 .
