Laurence Geller, Chief Executive Officer of Strategic Hotels & Resorts, commented, "Our properties continued to demonstrate sound operating fundamentals during the quarter. However, overall results were impacted by the threat of hurricanes in Florida and on the Pacific Coast of Mexico that temporarily displaced business at the InterContinental Miami and the Four Seasons Punta Mita, and political demonstrations after the Mexican presidential election that caused a virtual shutdown of our Four Seasons Mexico City hotel during most of the third quarter."

Mr. Geller continued, "We strengthened and diversified our portfolio during the quarter by completing nearly $1 billion in high quality acquisitions, including the Ritz-Carlton Laguna Niguel, the Fairmont Scottsdale Princess, the Marriott Grosvenor Square in London and the buy-out of our 65 percent partner in the InterContinental Prague. We continued our strategic disposition program and recycled nearly $180 million of capital as a result of selected asset sales. We remain committed to building an industry- leading, value adding, high end hotel company underpinned by great and often unique real estate and, in this quarter, we continued our efforts towards that end. With supply in our various markets far outpaced by demand, and no immediate end to this imbalance generally in sight, our properties will continue to be the beneficiaries of these favorable dynamics. Our operational, marketing and physical improvement master plans will position the company to take even further advantage of these favorable trends."

                         Non-GAAP Financial Measures

    In addition to REIT hotel income, six other non-GAAP financial measures
    are presented for the Company that we believe are useful to investors as
    key measures of our operating performance: Funds from Operations (FFO);
    FFO - Fully Converted; and Comparable FFO; Earnings Before Interest
    Expense, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA); and Adjusted
    EBITDA; and Comparable EBITDA. A reconciliation of these measures to net
    income available to common shareholders, the most directly comparable GAAP
    measure, is set forth in the following tables.

    We compute FFO in accordance with standards established by the National
    Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT, which adopted a
    definition of FFO in order to promote an industry-wide standard measure of
    REIT operating performance that would not have certain drawbacks
    associated with net income under GAAP. NAREIT defines FFO as net income
    (or loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP) excluding (losses) or gains
    from sales of depreciable property plus real estate-related depreciation
    and amortization, and after adjustments for our portion of these items
    related to unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. We also present
    FFO - Fully Converted, which is FFO plus minority interest expense on
    convertible minority interests. We also present Comparable FFO, which is
    FFO- Fully Converted excluding the impact of any gains or losses on early
    extinguishment of debt, impairment losses and other non-recurring charges.
    We believe that the presentation of FFO, FFO - Fully Converted and
    Comparable FFO provides useful information to investors regarding our
    results of operations because they are measures of our ability to fund
    capital expenditures and expand our business.  In addition, FFO is widely
    used in the real estate industry to measure operating performance without
    regard to items such as depreciation and amortization.

    EBITDA represents net income available to common shareholders excluding:
    (i) interest expense, (ii) income tax expense, including deferred income
    tax benefits and expenses applicable to our foreign subsidiaries and
    income taxes applicable to sale of assets; and (iii) depreciation and
    amortization. EBITDA also excludes interest expense, income tax expense
    and depreciation and amortization of our equity method investments. EBITDA
    is presented on a full participation basis, which means we have assumed
    conversion of all convertible minority interests of our operating
    partnership into our common stock and includes preferred dividends.  We
    believe this treatment of minority interest provides more useful
    information for management and our investors and appropriately considers
    our current capital structure.  We also present Adjusted EBITDA, which
    eliminates the effect of realizing deferred gains on our sale leasebacks.
    We also present Comparable EBITDA, which eliminates the effect of gains or
    losses on sales of assets, early extinguishment of debt, impairment losses
    and other non-recurring charges. We believe EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and
    Comparable EBITDA are useful to management and investors in evaluating our
    operating performance because they provide management and investors with
    an indication of our ability to incur and service debt, to satisfy general
    operating expenses, to make capital expenditures and to fund other cash
    needs or reinvest cash into our business. We also believe they help
    management and investors meaningfully evaluate and compare the results of
    our operations from period to period by removing the impact of our asset
    base (primarily depreciation and amortization) from our operating results.
    Our management also uses EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Comparable EBITDA as
    measures in determining the value of acquisitions and dispositions.

    We caution investors that amounts presented in accordance with our
    definitions of FFO, FFO - Fully Converted, Comparable FFO, EBITDA,
    Adjusted EBITDA and Comparable EBITDA may not be comparable to similar
    measures disclosed by other companies, since not all companies calculate
    these non-GAAP measures in the same manner. FFO, Fully Converted FFO,
    Comparable FFO, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Comparable EBITDA should not
    be considered as an alternative measure of our net income or operating
    performance. FFO, FFO - Fully Converted, Comparable FFO, EBITDA, Adjusted
    EBITDA and Comparable EBITDA may include funds that may not be available
    for our discretionary use due to functional requirements to conserve funds
    for capital expenditures and property acquisitions and other commitments
    and uncertainties. Although we believe that FFO, FFO - Fully Converted,
    Comparable FFO, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Comparable EBITDA can enhance
    your understanding of our financial condition and results of operations,
    these non-GAAP financial measures, when viewed individually, are not
    necessarily a better indicator of any trend as compared to comparable GAAP
    measures such as net income available to common shareholders. In addition,
    you should be aware that adverse economic and market conditions might
    negatively impact our cash flow. Below, we have provided a quantitative
    reconciliation of FFO, FFO - Fully Converted, Comparable FFO, EBITDA,
    Adjusted EBITDA and Comparable EBITDA to the most directly comparable GAAP
    financial performance measure, which is net income available to common
    shareholders, and provide an explanatory description by footnote of the
    items excluded from FFO, FFO - Fully Converted, EBITDA and Adjusted
    EBITDA.  Prior year amounts have been adjusted to conform to the current
    year presentation on a fully converted basis.
