prior year. Diluted EPS were $0.26 for first quarter 2010
compared to $0.27 for first quarter 2009.
Adjusted diluted EPS for first quarter 2010 exclude certain
special items, as described below, totaling $0.01.
- Excluding
special items, adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation
and amortization ("EBITDA") were $26.4
million for the
three months ended March
31, 2010, compared to $30.3
million for the
same period of 2009. Operating income for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 were $23.8 million and $27.8 million,
respectively.
- Franchising
revenues declined 6% from $51.0
million for the
three months ended March
31, 2009 to $47.7 million for the same period of
2010. Total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2010 declined 6% compared to the
same period of 2009.
- Interest
and other investment income for the three months ended March 31, 2010 improved by approximately $1.9 millionfrom
the same period of the prior year primarily due to the appreciation in
the fair value of investments held in the company's non-qualified
employee benefit plans during the current period compared to a decline
in the fair value of these investments in the same period of the prior
year.
- Domestic
unit and room growth increased 2.9 percent and 2.4 percent,
respectively, from March
31, 2009.
- Domestic
system-wide revenue per available room ("RevPAR") declined 10.3% for
the first quarter of 2010 compared to the same period of 2009.
- The
effective royalty rate increased 8 basis points to 4.34% for the three
months ended March
31, 2010 compared
to 4.26% for the same period of the prior year.
- The
company executed 55 new domestic hotel franchise contracts for the
three months ended March
31, 2010, a decline of 8% compared to the 60 contracts executed
in the same period of the prior year.
- The
number of domestic hotels under construction, awaiting conversion or
approved for development declined 27% fromMarch 31, 2009 to 657 hotels representing
52,483 rooms; the worldwide pipeline declined 25% from March 31, 2009 to 759 hotels representing
60,704 rooms.
"While
the domestic RevPAR and franchise sales environment remained
challenging during the first quarter, the company's overall franchise
sales results and recent RevPAR trends indicate some stabilization in
this environment," said Stephen
P. Joyce, president and chief executive officer. "As the
domestic RevPAR and hotel transaction environment improves, we believe
that Choice will remain a top choice for hotel developers, on account
of our well-known family of brands, our ability to deliver guests to
our franchisees' hotels and our range of centralized support services
designed to enhance our franchisees' profitability."
Special
Items
During
the three months ended March
31, 2010, the company recorded employee termination benefits of
approximately $0.4
million representing
adjusted diluted EPS of $0.01 for the three months ended March 31, 2010.
During
the three months ended March
31, 2009, the company recorded employee termination benefits of
approximately $0.4
million representing
adjusted diluted EPS of $0.00 for the three months ended March 31, 2009.
Outlook
for 2010
The
company's second quarter 2010 diluted EPS is expected to be at least $0.42. The
company expects full-year 2010 diluted EPS to be between $1.68 and $1.72.
Adjusted EBITDA for full-year 2010 are expected to be between $166 million and $170
million. These estimates include the following assumptions:
- The
company expects net domestic unit growth of approximately 2% in 2010;
- RevPAR
is expected to decline approximately 2% for second quarter of 2010 and
decline between 1% and 3% for full-year 2010;
- The
effective royalty rate is expected to increase 6 basis points for
full-year 2010;
- All
figures assume the existing share count and an effective tax rate of
35.8% for the second quarter and full-year 2010;
- Projections
assume that the company's existing credit facility remains in place for
full-year 2010.
Use
of Free Cash Flow
The
company has historically used its free cash flow (cash flow from
operations less capital expenditures) to return value to shareholders,
primarily through share repurchases and dividends.
For
the three months ended March
31, 2010 the
company paid $10.9
million of cash
dividends to shareholders. The current quarterly dividend rate per
common share is $0.185,
subject to declaration by our board of directors.
During
the three months ended March
31, 2010, the company purchased approximately 0.2 million shares
of its common stock at an average price of $31.75 for a total cost of $6.9 million under the share repurchase
program and has authorization to purchase up to an additional 3.6
million shares under this program. We expect to continue making
repurchases in the open market and through privately negotiated
transactions, subject to market and other conditions. No minimum number
of share repurchases has been fixed. Since Choice announced its stock
repurchase program on June
25, 1998, the company has repurchased 43.1 million shares of its
common stock for a total cost of $1
billion through March 31, 2010.
Considering the effect of a two-for-one stock split in October 2005,
the company had repurchased 76.1 million shares through March 31, 2010under
the share repurchase program at an average price of $13.33 per share.
Our
Board has authorized us to enter into programs which permit us to offer
financing, investment and guaranty support to qualified franchisees as
well as to acquire and resell real estate to incent franchise
development for certain brands in top markets. We expect to
opportunistically deploy this capital over the next several years.
Our annual investment in these programs is dependent on market
and other conditions. Notwithstanding these programs, the company
expects to continue to return value to its shareholders through a
combination of share repurchases and dividends, subject to market and
other conditions.

Forward-Looking
Statements
Certain
matters discussed in this press release constitute forward-looking
statements within the meaning of the federal securities law.
Generally, our use of words such as "expect," "estimate," "believe,"
"anticipate," "will," "forecast," "plan," project," "assume" or similar
words of futurity identify statements that are forward-looking and that
we intend to be included within the Safe Harbor protections provided by
Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Such forward-looking
statements are based on management's current beliefs, assumptions and
expectations regarding future events, which in turn are based on
information currently available to management. Such statements
may relate to projections of the company's revenue, earnings and
other financial and operational measures, company debt levels, payment
of stock dividends, and future operations, among other
matters. We caution you not to place undue reliance on any
such forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements do
not guarantee future performance and involve known and unknown risks,
uncertainties and other factors.
Several
factors could cause actual results, performance or achievements of the
company to differ materially from those expressed in or contemplated by
the forward-looking statements. Such risks include, but are
not limited to, changes to general, domestic and foreign economic
conditions; operating risks common in the lodging and franchising
industries; changes to the desirability of our brands as viewed by
hotel operators and customers; changes to the terms or termination of
our contracts with franchisees; our ability to keep pace with
improvements in technology utilized for reservations systems and other
operating systems; fluctuations in the supply and demand for hotels
rooms; and our ability to manage effectively our
indebtedness. These and other risk factors are discussed in
detail in the Risk Factors section of the company's Form 10-K for the
year ended December
31, 2009, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 1,
2010. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or
revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new
information, future events or otherwise.
Statement
Concerning Non-GAAP Financial Measurements
Adjusted
diluted EPS, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted SG&A, franchising revenues
and adjusted franchising margins are non-GAAP financial measurements.
This information should not be considered as an alternative to
any measure of performance as promulgated under accounting principles
generally accepted in the
United States (GAAP),
such as diluted earnings per share, operating income, total revenues
and operating margins. The company's calculation of these
measurements may be different from the calculations used by other
companies and therefore comparability may be limited. The company
has included an exhibit accompanying this release that reconciles these
measures to the comparable GAAP measurement. We discuss management's
reasons for reporting these non-GAAP measures below.
Earnings
Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization: EBITDA reflects earnings
excluding the impact of interest expense, tax expense, depreciation and
amortization. Our management considers EBITDA to be an indicator of
operating performance because it can be used to measure our ability to
service debt, fund capital expenditures, and expand our business.
EBITDA is a commonly used measure of performance in our industry. In
addition, it is used by analysts, lenders, investors and others, as
well as by us, to facilitate comparisons between the company and its
competitors because it excludes certain items that can vary widely
across different industries or among companies within the same industry.
Franchising
Revenues and Margins: The company reports franchising
revenues and margins which exclude marketing and reservation revenues
and hotel operations. Marketing and reservation activities are
excluded from revenues and operating margins since the company is
contractually required by its franchise agreements to use these fees
collected for marketing and reservation activities. Cumulative
reservation and marketing fees not expended are recorded as a payable
on the company's financial statements and are carried over to the next
fiscal year and expended in accordance with the franchise agreements.
Cumulative marketing and reservation expenditures in excess of fees
collected for marketing and reservation activities are recorded as a
receivable on the company's financial statements. In addition, the
company has the contractual authority to require that the franchisees
in the system at any given point repay the company for any deficits
related to marketing and reservation activities. Hotel operations
are excluded since they do not reflect the most accurate measure of the
company's core franchising business. These non-GAAP measures are a
commonly used measure of performance in our industry and facilitate
comparisons between the company and its competitors.
Adjusted
Diluted EPS, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted SG&A and Adjusted
Franchising Margins: The
company's management also uses adjusted diluted EPS, adjusted EBITDA,
adjusted SG&A and adjusted franchising margins which exclude
employee termination benefits for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009. The
company utilizes these non-GAAP measures to enable investors to perform
meaningful comparisons of past, present and future operating results
and as a means to emphasize the results of on-going operations.
