Host Marriott Reports Loss of $43 million Compared
with Loss of $8 million in Year-ago 1st Quarter;
Forecasts a Loss for the Full Year 
Hotel Operational Data
BETHESDA, Md., April 30, 2003 - Host Marriott Corporation (NYSE: HMT), the nation's largest lodging real estate investment trust (REIT), today announced results of operations for the first quarter of 2003. The first quarter results reflect the difficult operating environment due to the war in Iraq and a generally weak economy that has resulted in reduced group and business travel.  First quarter results include the following:
  • The Company's diluted loss per share was $.16 for the first quarter 2003 versus a diluted loss per share of $.03 for the first quarter of 2002.
  • Total revenue was $805 million for the first quarter of 2003 versus $787 million for the first quarter of 2002, and the net loss available to common shareholders was $43 million for the first quarter of 2003 and $8 million for the first quarter of 2002.
  • Comparative Funds From Operations, or Comparative FFO, was $.16 per diluted share for the first quarter 2003 versus $.24 per diluted share for the first quarter of 2002.
  • Earnings before Interest Expense, Income Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization and other non-cash items, or EBITDA, was $175 million for the first quarter 2003 versus $204 million for the first quarter of 2002.
Operating Results

Comparable RevPAR for the first quarter declined 5.5% as a result of a 2.4% reduction in average room rate and an occupancy decline of 2.3 percentage points.  Operating profit margin and comparable hotel-level EBITDA margin decreased 3.8 percentage points and 3.9 percentage points, respectively.

Christopher J. Nassetta, president and chief executive officer, stated, "We are pleased we have been able to achieve results that were in accordance with our guidance for the first quarter despite the difficult operating environment that has been significantly impacted by the build up to, and the war in Iraq, the increased terror threat levels and the overall weak economy."

Balance Sheet

As of March 28, 2003, the Company had $313 million in cash on hand and $300 million of availability under its credit facility.  The Company has no significant refinancing requirements until 2005 and does not believe that it will need to borrow under the credit facility in 2003.

W. Edward Walter, executive vice president and chief financial officer, stated, "Consistent with our financial strategy for the last 18 months, we will continue to maintain high cash reserves, which combined with limited debt maturities over the next two years, maximizes our financial flexibility in this challenging operating environment and positions us to be able to take advantage of opportunities that arise in the future."

2003 Outlook

The Company's updated guidance for RevPAR for full year 2003 is for a decline of approximately 2% to 3% and a second quarter RevPAR decline of approximately 6% to 8%.  Based upon this guidance, the Company estimates the following: 

  • Diluted loss per share should be approximately $.57 to $.65 for the full year and approximately $.09 to $.12 for the second quarter;
  • Net loss available to common shareholders should be approximately $153 million to $174 million for the full year and approximately $24 million to $32 million for the second quarter;
  • Comparative FFO per share should be approximately $.73 to $.81 for the full year and approximately $.20 to $.23 for the second quarter; and * EBITDA should be approximately $750 million to $775 million for the full year.
Based upon the current outlook, the Company expects that it is unlikely that it will pay a meaningful dividend on its common stock in 2003.

    (c) We adopted SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets," effective January 1, 2002. Gains and losses from all subsequent sales of real estate, as well as any income or loss from the property prior to disposal, are required to be recorded as discontinued operations. As a result, we have restated prior year periods to reflect operations of the Ontario Airport Marriott, which we sold during the first quarter of 2003 as discontinued operations.  The $13 million of discontinued operations in the first quarter of 2002 primarily relate to the St. Louis Marriott Pavilion which we disposed of in January 2002.

    (a) Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted earnings (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders as adjusted for potentially dilutive securities, by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding plus other potentially dilutive securities. Dilutive securities may include shares granted under comprehensive stock plans, those preferred OP Units held by minority partners, other minority interests that have the option to convert their limited partnership interests to common OP Units and the Convertible Preferred Securities. All securities were anti-dilutive for all periods presented.

    (a) In accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission guidance under Staff Accounting Bulletin 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements," we do not recognize contingent rent as a component of net income until all contingencies have been met. Upon adoption of recent guidance related to non-GAAP financial measures, we have correspondingly excluded this contingent rent from our calculation of Comparative FFO for the first quarter of 2003 and 2002. We had previously included contingent rent as a component of Comparative FFO and we have restated first quarter 2002 Comparative FFO to reflect the adoption of this guidance.
    (b) This adjustment reflects the realization of the income tax benefit recognized as a result of the purchase of the 120 leasehold interests at year-end 2000 and during June 2001, which under the NAREIT definition of FFO would be excluded from the calculation of FFO.  Excluding this adjustment, FFO would have been $41 million, or $.15 per share, for the first quarter of 2003 and $69 million, or $.23 per share, for the first quarter of 2002.
    (c) This adjustment reflects the Comparative FFO attributable to the interests in Host LP.
    (d) The share count has not been adjusted for the minority common and preferred OP Units outstanding as they were antidilutive for all periods presented. For the quarter ended March 28, 2003 there were 27.6 million weighted average units outstanding with a minority interest in Comparative FFO of $5 million. For the quarter ended March 22, 2002 there were 21.5 million weighted average units outstanding with a minority interest in comparative FFO of $6 million. There would be no change in the reported Diluted Comparative FFO per share had these minority units been converted.
    (e) Diluted comparative funds from operations is computed by dividing comparative funds from operations as adjusted for potentially dilutive securities, by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding plus other potentially dilutive securities. Dilutive securities may include shares granted under comprehensive stock plans, those preferred OP Units held by minority partners, other minority interests that have the option to convert their limited partnership interest to common OP Units and the Convertible Preferred Securities.  No effect is shown for securities if they are anti-dilutive.

             Notes to Second Quarter and Full-Year 2003 Forecasts

    (a) The amounts shown in these reconciliations are based on management's estimate of operations for full year 2003 and the second quarter of 2003. These tables are forward-looking and as such contain assumptions by management based on known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual transactions, results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future transactions, results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by this table. General economic conditions, competition and governmental actions will affect future transactions, results performance and achievements.  Although we believe the expectations reflected in this reconciliation are based upon reasonable assumptions, we can give no assurance that the expectations will be attained or that any deviations will not be material.
        For purposes of preparing the second quarter and full-year 2003 forecasts, we have made the following assumptions:
            * RevPAR will decrease between 6% and 8% for the second quarter and decrease between 2% and 3% for the full year 2003 for the low and high ends of the forecasted ranges, respectively.
            * Comparable hotel-level EBITDA margins will decrease between 2.0 percentage points and 2.5 percentage points for the full year 2003 for the low and high end of the forecasted ranges, respectively.
            * $175 million of hotels will be sold during 2003 and the proceeds are utilized to retire debt.
            * $210 million in renewal and replacement capital expenditures will be incurred during 2003.
            * Fully diluted shares will be 267.0 million and 269.5 million for the second quarter and full year, respectively.

    (b) This adjustment reflects the realization of the income tax benefit recognized as a result of the purchase of the 120 leasehold interests at year-end 2000 and during June 2001.
    (c) Represents the Comparative FFO attributable to the interest in Host LP held by the minority partners during 2003.
    (d) These shares are dilutive for purposes of the Comparative FFO per share calculation, yet are anti-dilutive for the purposes of the earnings per share calculation. This is due to the net loss that is forecasted for 2003 compared to net earnings for FFO for the year.

Comparable hotel-level EBITDA margins are calculated based on comparable hotel-level EBITDA of $171 million and $211 million, respectively, divided by comparable hotel sales of $736 million and $777 million, respectively, for the first quarters of 2003 and 2002.
    (c) The reconciliation of hotel sales per the consolidated statements of operations to the comparable hotel sales is as follows:
