1st Quarter 2005; Owned Hotels RevPAR Increases 20.5%
Hotel Operating Statistics
.
 
PHILADELPHIA - May 10, 2006 -- Hersha Hospitality Trust (AMEX:HT), a real estate investment trust (REIT) that owns interests in 58 nationally franchised, upscale and midscale hotels, today announced earnings for the first quarter 2006. 

Consolidated Adjusted FFO for the first quarter 2006 declined to $0.03 per diluted share from $0.06 per diluted in the same quarter of 2005. Net loss applicable to common shareholders was ($5.1) million, or ($0.25) per diluted share compared to a net loss of ($1.0) million, or ($0.05) per diluted share in first quarter 2005. The increase in net loss on a year-over-year basis is primarily due to higher depreciation and amortization charges from growth in the Company's portfolio, dividends on the Company's Series A Preferred shares issued in 2005, write-offs of deferred financing costs related to the Company's new $60 million credit facility and increased interest expense. 

Mr. Jay H. Shah, Chief Executive Officer, commented, "We followed up the success we had in 2005 with a strong start to 2006. For the first quarter, which is our seasonally weakest quarter, given our concentration of hotels in the Northeast, we grew hotel revenues by 117% and EBITDA by 165%. Our acquisition activity during the quarter of six wholly-owned hotels and two joint-venture investments is emblematic of our overall strategy of placing an emphasis on buying wholly-owned core hotels and from time-to-time entering into joint-ventures that we believe will add value for shareholders." 

Financial Highlights for the First Quarter 2006

Consolidated hotel revenues, including revenues of hotels held for sale, increased 86% to $25.9 million for the first quarter 2006 from $13.9 million in the first quarter 2005 driven primarily by growth in room revenues and acquisitions of hotels. RevPAR for the Company's consolidated hotels (41 hotels) increased 20.5% on a year-over-year basis to $62.73 driven by a 12.0% increase in ADR to $97.89 and a 7.6% improvement in occupancy to 64.1%. Gross operating profit margins increased to 36.7% from 30.3% from the year ago quarter. Total EBITDA for consolidated hotels increased 155.3% to $6.7 million for the first quarter 2006. EBITDA margins for the quarter increased 709 basis points to 26.1% for consolidated hotels. 

On a same-store basis (27 hotels), RevPAR for the first quarter 2006 increased 10.2% on a year-over-year basis to $63.30 driven by a 4.4% increase in ADR to $97.27 and a 5.6% improvement in occupancy to 65.1%. Same-store EBITDA increased 11.8% to $4.0 million due to the increase in revenue, offset somewhat by higher utility costs, repairs and maintenance, accounting fees and payroll and benefits costs. 

Other First Quarter 2006 Highlights 

  • In January, the Company closed the acquisition of the 118-room Courtyard - Langhorne, PA, the 103-room Fairfield Inn & Suites - Bethlehem, PA and the 118-room Fairfield Inn & Suites - Mt. Laurel, NJ for total consideration of $40.5 million. 
  • In January, Hersha Hospitality Trust received $19.5 million in development loan repayments. 
  • In February, the Company completed the purchase of the 120-room Courtyard - Scranton, PA, the 96-room Residence Inn - Tyson's Corner, VA and the 188-room Hilton Garden Inn - JFK Airport, NY. 
  • In February, Hersha Hospitality Trust also finalized two joint-venture agreements. The first was for a 15% interest with an 8.5% participating preferred equity return in the 409-room Marriott - Hartford Downtown, CT. The second was for an 80% interest with a 9.0% participating preferred equity return in the 250-room Hampton Inn - Philadelphia, PA. 
  • In February, Hersha Hospitality Trust also reduced its equity interest in the 392-room Hilton Hartford, CT from 44% to 8.8% with an 8.5% participating preferred equity return. 
Balance Sheet

At March 31, 2006, Hersha Hospitality Trust had approximately $313 million of long-term debt outstanding, which included approximately $51.5 million of Trust Preferred Securities and debt on assets held for sale. The weighted average interest rate on the Company's fixed rate debt was approximately 6.71%. The weighted average life of the Company's debt was 10.5 years. Fixed rate debt, including variable rate debt hedged by interest rate swaps, amounted to approximately 88.0% of total debt. At March 31, 2006, the Company's fully-diluted common shares and partnership units outstanding were a combined 23,871,640. 

Dividend 

For the first quarter 2006, Hersha Hospitality Trust declared cash common and limited partnership unit dividends of $0.18 per common share. The Company's common dividend represents the 28th consecutive quarterly dividend at this amount since the Company's 1999 initial public offering. The Common dividend represents a yield of approximately 7.7% based upon the closing price of Hersha Hospitality Trust stock on May 9, 2006. The Board of Trustees also declared a cash dividend of $0.50 per Series A Preferred Share. 

Subsequent Events 

The Company closed on the sale of 7,497,500 common shares, receiving net proceeds of approximately $63.5 million. The Company used or will use the proceeds to repay outstanding indebtedness under its revolving credit line, to fund acquisitions and development loans and for general corporate purposes. 

In May, Hersha closed the acquisition of four Boston, Massachusetts area hotels for a combined purchase price of $44 million, in two separate transactions. The first deal includes the purchase of the 112-room Holiday Inn Express Cambridge, Massachusetts from an affiliated company. The second deal comprises a 96-room Residence Inn in North Dartmouth, Massachusetts, a 100-room Hawthorn Suites in Franklin, Massachusetts and an 84-room Comfort Inn in North Dartmouth, Massachusetts. As part of this transaction, the Company obtained a right of first refusal to purchase a 100-room Residence Inn in Norwood, Massachusetts, which is currently under construction and expected to open in August 2006. 

In May, the Company also closed the sale of its Holiday Inn Express in Hartford, Connecticut for $3.6 million, which includes the transfer of the existing land lease obligations. The asset was sold to an unaffiliated developer. 

On April 3, Hersha closed a development loan in the amount of $7.0 million, bearing interest of 10.0% per annum. The loan is being used to finance the development of a Sheraton Hotel at the JFK Airport in New York City. 

Outlook for 2006 

Assuming a continued strong economy in the Northeast U.S. corridor and limited supply growth, the Company anticipates that its current portfolio, including the acquisitions completed to date, will lead to another year of growth in funds from operations. 

Net income available to common shareholders for the full year ended December 31, 2006 is forecasted to be in the range of $1.25 million to $2.25 million, or $0.04 to $0.08 per weighted average diluted share outstanding. The Company continues to expect Adjusted FFO to be in the range of $0.98 to $1.02 per diluted share for the full year ended December 31, 2006. 

The Company is increasing its previously issued RevPAR guidance and is assuming RevPAR growth of 8% to 10% across the Company's consolidated portfolio.

FFO and GAAP Reconciliation 
The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") developed Funds From Operations ("FFO") as a relative non-GAAP financial measure of performance and liquidity of an equity REIT in order to recognize that income-producing real estate historically has not depreciated on the basis determined under GAAP. FFO as defined by NAREIT is net income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP) excluding extraordinary items as defined under GAAP and gains or losses from sales of previously depreciated assets, plus certain non-cash items, such as depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. With respect to FFO from unconsolidated joint-ventures, we also add back depreciation from the purchase price of the joint-venture interest in excess of the joint-venture's basis in its hotels. 
Hersha also presents Adjusted Funds from Operations (Adjusted FFO), which reflects FFO in accordance with the NAREIT definition further adjusted by: 
-- adding back income or loss allocated to units of partnership interest in our operating partnership, because the company reports Adjusted FFO to common shareholders on a fully diluted basis assuming conversion of those units to common shares; 
-- adding back income allocated to minority interest (units of partnership interest in our operating partnership) related to discontinued operations; 
-- adding back depreciation related to discontinued operations; 
-- adding back distributions to holders of preferred units of partnership interest in the company's operating partnership, if any, which are expensed for GAAP purposes on its income statement; 
-- adding back write-offs of deferred financing costs on debt extinguishment, both for consolidated and unconsolidated properties; 
-- adding back amortization of deferred financing costs; 
-- making adjustments to ground lease payments, which are required by GAAP to be amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease, to reflect the actual lease payment. 
FFO or Adjusted FFO do not represent cash flows from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered an alternative to net income as an indication of Hersha's performance or to cash flow as a measure of liquidity or ability to make distributions. Hersha considers FFO and Adjusted FFO to be meaningful, additional measures of operating performance because they exclude the effects of the assumption that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time, and because they are widely used by industry analysts as a performance measure. We show both FFO from consolidated hotels and FFO from unconsolidated joint-ventures because we believe it is meaningful for the investor to understand the relative contributions from our consolidated and unconsolidated hotels. Hersha also believes that the additional adjustments made to arrive at Adjusted FFO help to provide a meaningful view of its underlying operations. Comparison of the company's presentation of FFO and Adjusted FFO to similarly titled measures for other REITs is not necessarily meaningful due to the differences in the calculations used internally and by other REITs. 
The following table reconciles FFO and Adjusted FFO for the periods presented to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, net income, for the same periods:

EBITDA and GAAP Reconciliation

Management believes EBITDA to be a meaningful measure of a REIT's performance and that it should be considered along with, but not as an alternative to, net income, cash flow, FFO and Adjusted FFO, as a measure of the company's operating performance.
