MeriStar Reports 3rd Quarter 2004 Loss of  $27 million Compared with a Loss of $51 million  a Year Ago; 
Revpar Rose 7.6% to $70.13 
Hotel Operating Statistics

.

ARLINGTON, Va. - Nov. 2, 2004 -- MeriStar Hospitality Corporation (NYSE: MHX), one of the nation's largest hotel real estate investment trusts (REIT), today announced financial results for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2004.
RevPAR for the company's comparable hotels in the third quarter increased 7.6 percent to $70.13, after adjusting for rooms out of service due to renovations and the impact of the Florida hurricanes. This growth was led by a 5.8 percent increase in average daily rate (ADR) to $98.02. Occupancy increased 1.8 percent to 71.5 percent.

"We continue to see solid evidence that the industry is recovering," said Paul W. Whetsell, chairman and chief executive officer. "Business travel demand showed steady improvement, while leisure demand remained firm during the summer months. Room rate, an important indicator in this phase of the recovery, continued to strengthen. Also, operating margins improved 90 basis points at our comparable hotels in the quarter.

"We continued to upgrade our portfolio in the third quarter, completing $32 million in renovations," he said. "Through the end of October, we have spent approximately $95 million on renovations at our properties, and we are on target to complete the $125 million budgeted for the full year. Our goal is to have a like-new hotel portfolio in peak operating condition by the end of next year.

"During the quarter, we focused on accelerating the renovation of public spaces, including lobbies, meeting rooms, and the exterior of some hotels, which has the most immediate positive impact on guests. We also continued to aggressively renovate rooms. Both efforts had a short-term impact on our third quarter earnings."

Results for the three and nine months ending September 30, 2004 and 2003, were as follows:
 

                                    3Q       3Q    Nine Mos. Nine Mos.
                                2004(a)(c) 2003(a) 2004(a)(c) 2003(a)
Net loss                             $(27)    $(51)     $(79)   $(327)
Net loss per diluted share         $(0.31)  $(1.05)   $(0.99)  $(6.99)
Total revenues from continuing

Adjusted FFO per diluted share      $0.02   $(0.14)    $0.31    $0.48
Adjusted EBITDA (earnings before
 interest, income taxes,
 depreciation, amortization and
 other items) (b)                     $34      $31      $123     $133

(a) in millions, except per share data
(b) FFO, Adjusted FFO, and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures and should not be considered as alternatives to any measures of operating results under GAAP. See the discussion included in the financial information section of this press release regarding these non-GAAP financial measures.
(c) The three and nine months ended September 30, 2004 results include the impact of an equity compensation adjustment. The company's subsidiary operating partnership's partnership agreement provides for Profits-Only OP Partnership Units, or POPs. Since July, we have been planning for the dissolution of the plan, pursuant to which POPs are issued, which will be completed over the following 15 months. Therefore, a substantial portion of this adjustment, which was recorded entirely in this quarter, due to a change in accounting had already been expected to occur this year. Had the current accounting been applied from the original grant dates, and taking this adjustment in isolation, our net loss, FFO, adjusted FFO, and adjusted EBITDA would have been lower for the three and nine months ended by $4.5 million ($0.05 per share) and $4.0 million ($0.05 per share), respectively. See the note regarding the equity compensation adjustment in the Notes to Financial Information included in the supplemental Earnings Release Financial Information.

Whetsell added that the four hurricanes that struck Florida in the 2004 third quarter caused varying degrees of significant damage at nine of the company's hotels there.

"Our crews have been hard at work assessing the damage and making the necessary repairs. Based on current projections, we expect to have our five Sanibel properties (447 rooms) open for the high season. The Holiday Inn Walt Disney World and Hilton Cocoa Beach will be closed for a short time to accelerate repairs. The South Seas Resort on Captiva Island sustained more damage than the other hotels and will be re-opened in stages. We have very good property and business interruption insurance coverage and do not expect the damage to have any significant impact on earnings, although the timing of our accounting recognition of business interruption proceeds may be somewhat affected by accounting rules."

The company's hotels in the Washington D.C. market continued their strong performance, experiencing RevPAR growth of 15.0 percent in the quarter, led by The Latham Hotel in Georgetown and the Hilton Crystal City at Reagan National Airport. The two hotels generated RevPAR gains of 25.1 percent and 21.0 percent during the quarter, respectively. "The Hilton Crystal City's results are especially impressive as the hotel began a commercial area and meeting space renovation during the quarter. Its results however, reflect the rate gains produced by the renovation of 40 percent of its guestrooms earlier in the year. The Hilton Embassy Row, Hilton Arlington and Towers, and Radisson Alexandria also continue to post exceptional revenue growth rates," said Bruce G. Wiles, chief operating officer.

Southern California continued to provide the company with excellent growth as well. The Marriott Los Angeles Downtown produced RevPAR growth of 20.3 percent in the quarter. The Courtyard Marina del Rey, which completed a softgoods renovation of all of its guestrooms during the first quarter, continued to produce strong year-over-year results with a third quarter RevPAR increase of 16.7 percent over the prior year.

Acquisitions

Whetsell noted that the company continued to execute its selective acquisition strategy. Following the end of the third quarter, MeriStar purchased an interest in the landmark, 705-room Radisson Lexington Avenue Hotel in New York City. The company made a $50 million structured investment, including a loan that will provide a $5.75 million cumulative annual preferred return and a 49.99 percent equity participation.

"New York has been one of the stars of this lodging recovery, and this property provides MeriStar entry into the dynamic Midtown Manhattan market. The transaction offers a strong current yield with substantial upside potential while limiting our downside exposure.

"We continue to recycle our capital into higher yielding investments, larger properties located in major urban markets or upscale resort destinations with high barriers to new competition, premium brand affiliations, significant meeting space and superior growth potential."

Capital Structure

Donald D. Olinger, chief financial officer, said that the company continues to make progress improving its capital structure while maintaining financial flexibility. "We were able to fund our Lexington investment with cash on hand while maintaining adequate liquidity. Following this transaction, we have approximately $110 million of cash, $55 million of which is unrestricted. We also have the full $50 million available under our secured revolving credit facility."

Outlook

"We are seeing tangible signs of strength in individual markets and are increasingly optimistic that improving economic fundamentals will provide additional momentum in the fourth quarter," Whetsell said. "With the progress we are making on our renovation program, our properties will be in excellent physical condition and well-positioned to benefit from a full-fledged recovery. We will continue to focus on driving higher rates at our properties, which should help drive further RevPAR improvements."

The company provides the following range of estimates for the fourth quarter and full-year 2004, based on projected fourth-quarter 2004 RevPAR gains of 5.5 percent to 6.5 percent and a full-year 2004 RevPAR increase of 6.0 percent to 7.0 percent, all of which reflect adjustments for the estimated number of rooms out of service due to renovations and the impact of the Florida hurricanes:

  • Net loss of $(15) million to $(18) million for the fourth quarter and $(93) million to $(97) million for the full year;
  • Net loss per diluted share of $(0.17) to $(0.21) for the fourth quarter and $(1.15) to $(1.19) for the full year;
  • FFO per diluted share(d) of $0.07 to $0.11 for the fourth quarter and $0.13 to $0.18 for the full year;
  • Adjusted FFO per diluted share(d) of $0.07 to $0.11 for the fourth quarter and $0.37 to $0.41 for the full year;
  • Adjusted EBITDA(d) of $38 million to $42 million for the fourth quarter and $161 million to $165 million for the full year. 
(d) See reconciliations of net loss to FFO per diluted share and Adjusted FFO per diluted share and net loss to Adjusted EBITDA included in the supplemental earnings release financial information. Forecasted net loss does not include any possible future losses on asset impairments or gains or losses on the sales of assets. Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted FFO and FFO are non-GAAP financial measures that should not be considered as alternatives to any measures of operating results under GAAP. See the discussion regarding these non-GAAP financial measures in the notes to financial information included in the supplemental earnings release financial information.
