Hotel Operating Statistics

IRVING, Texas--(February 19, 2013)--FelCor Lodging Trust Incorporated (NYSE: FCH), today reported operating results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2012.

Summary:

  • Revenue per available room (“RevPAR”) for 65 same-store hotels (45 core and 20 non-strategic) increased 4.8% for the quarter.
  • Hotel EBITDA increased 10% and Hotel EBITDA margins increased 87 basis points for the quarter.
  • Adjusted EBITDA was $42.0 million and adjusted funds from operations (“FFO”) per share was a loss of $0.01 for the quarter, both of which exceeded guidance.
  • Sold 10 hotels during 2012 for gross proceeds of $207.2 million and, as of January, launched the marketing process for all remaining non-strategic hotels for sale (excluding nine joint venture hotels).
  • Sold, in December, $525 million of 5.625% senior notes due in March 2023 and used the proceeds to repay high-cost, short-term debt.
  • Converting and repositioning eight core Holiday Inns to Wyndham-branded and managed hotels effective March 1, 2013.
  • Net loss was $93.0 million for the quarter.

Fourth Quarter Operating Results:

RevPAR for 65 same-store hotels was $95.57, a 4.8% increase compared to the same period in 2011. The increase reflects a 5.2% increase in average daily rate (“ADR”) to $142.76 and a 30 basis point decrease in occupancy to 66.9%. RevPAR for 45 core hotels increased 5.2%, while RevPAR at 20 non-strategic hotels increased 3.7%. RevPAR at the six newly-acquired and redeveloped hotels increased 8.6% during the quarter and 11.3% during December.

Commenting on operating results, Richard A. Smith, President and Chief Executive Officer of FelCor, said, “I am very pleased with our performance, as revenue, margins, FFO and EBITDA exceeded our expectations. Lodging fundamentals remain favorable, despite slow economic growth. The favorable imbalance between demand and supply growth provides us the ability to increase average rates, creating strong EBITDA growth. With supply growth lower in our markets than the US on average, our portfolio is well-positioned to continue outperforming our peers. RevPAR growth at the newly-acquired, redeveloped and renovated hotels continues to significantly exceed the industry average, and we expect that to continue throughout 2013.”

Added Mr. Smith, “Over the past year, we have delivered on our strategic commitments to drive operational improvement, sell non-strategic assets and strengthen our balance sheet. Our asset sale program is progressing as expected, and in 2013 we expect to sell a majority of the hotels currently marketed for sale. As we sell hotels and repay debt, we will further improve our earnings and stockholder value.”

Hotel EBITDA was $50.5 million, 9.5% higher than the $46.1 million in 2011. Hotel EBITDA and other same-store metrics reflect 65 same-store hotels.

Same-store Adjusted EBITDA was $41.2 million, 10.5% higher than the $37.2 million for the same period in 2011. Adjusted EBITDA (which includes Adjusted EBITDA for sold hotels prior to sale) was $42.0 million, relatively even with the same period in 2011.

Adjusted FFO was a loss of $1.5 million, or $0.01 per share, compared to a loss of $0.03 per share for the same period in 2011. Net loss attributable to common stockholders was $102.1 million (including $62.5 million of debt extinguishment charges and $31.2 million in conversion expenses, partially offset by $27.8 million in net gains from asset sales), or $0.83 per share for the quarter, compared to a net loss of $42.8 million, or $0.35 per share, for the same period in 2011.

Full Year Operating Results:

RevPAR for 65 same-store hotels was $102.80, 5.1% higher than for 2011, driven by a 5.7% increase in ADR to $142.46. RevPAR for our 45 core hotels increased 5.6%, while RevPAR for our 20 non-strategic hotels increased 3.4%.

Hotel EBITDA was $225.5 million, 6.9% higher than the $211.0 million for the same period in 2011.

Same-store Adjusted EBITDA was $188.3 million, 8.7% higher than the $173.3 million for the same period in 2011. Adjusted EBITDA (which includes Adjusted EBITDA for sold hotels prior to sale) was $202.8 million, relatively even with the same period in 2011.

Adjusted FFO was $28.8 million, or $0.23 per share, which is $0.09 per share, or 64%, higher than 2011. Net loss attributable to common stockholders was $166.7 million (including $75.1 million of net debt extinguishment charges and $31.2 million in conversion expenses, partially offset by $54.5 million in net gains from asset sales), or $1.35 per share for the year ended December 31, 2012, compared to a net loss of $168.6 million (including $24.4 million of net debt extinguishment charges), or $1.44 per share, for 2011.

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, same-store Adjusted EBITDA, Hotel EBITDA, Hotel EBITDA margin, FFO, Adjusted FFO and Adjusted FFO per share are all non-GAAP financial measures. See our discussion of “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” beginning on page 19 for a reconciliation of each of these measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measure and for information regarding the use, limitations and importance of these non-GAAP financial measures.

Portfolio Repositioning:

During the quarter, we sold the Embassy Suites in Nashville (296 rooms) and Embassy Suites in New Orleans (370 rooms) for aggregate gross proceeds of $70.0 million and the Sheraton Crescent in Phoenix (342 rooms) for gross proceeds of $8.7 million.

During 2012, we sold 10 hotels for aggregate gross proceeds of $207.2 million. We have sold 19 of 39 non-strategic hotels to date as part of our portfolio repositioning plan, with 20 non-strategic hotels remaining to be sold. As of January 2013, we are marketing 11 of the remaining 20 hotels. The other nine non-strategic hotels are held in joint ventures, and we are working with our partners to determine when to begin marketing those properties. We will use the proceeds from dispositions to repay our remaining higher-cost debt and reduce leverage.

In January 2013, we agreed to re-brand, renovate and reposition eight core Holiday Inn hotels located in strategic markets from Holiday Inn to Wyndham hotels. Effective March 1, 2013, our Holiday Inn hotels in Boston, Houston, New Orleans, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, San Diego and Santa Monica will be rebranded as Wyndham Hotels & Resorts properties, and The Mills House in Charleston will become a Wyndham Grand hotel. Wyndham Worldwide Corporation is providing a $100 million guaranty over the initial 10-year term of the agreement, with an annual guaranty of up to $21.5 million, that ensures a minimum annual NOI for the eight hotels. In addition, the management fee structure is more consistent with prevailing industry practices, and we expect to save approximately $50 million in management fees over the initial term. The guaranty protects approximately 20% of our core hotel-level EBITDA from future lodging cycle fluctuations, in addition to ensuring a return on investment that is superior to the hotels’ historical performance.

Capital Expenditures:

Including our pro rata share of joint ventures, capital expenditures at our operating hotels were $21.9 million during the three months ended December 31, 2012 and $122.9 million (including approximately $39.9 million for redevelopment projects) during the year ended December 31, 2012.

During 2012, we completed renovations at seven hotels and started renovations (which will be completed in 2013) at four additional hotels. We also completed redevelopment work at two hotels (the Fairmont Copley Plaza and the Embassy Suites-Myrtle Beach-Oceanfront Resort) and started redevelopment at Morgans.

During 2013, we anticipate spending approximately $65 million on improvements and renovations, concentrated mostly at seven hotels, as part of our 20-year capital plan. In addition, in connection with converting eight hotels to Wyndham (four of which will be renovated and repositioned during 2013) and completing redevelopment projects, we will spend approximately $40 million. Please see page 12 of this release for more detail on renovations.

Through December 31, 2012, we have spent $27 million on the redevelopment of the 4+ star Knickerbocker Hotel, located in midtown Manhattan. The project remains on budget and is scheduled to open in early 2014.

Balance Sheet:

At December 31, 2012, we had $1.6 billion of consolidated debt, bearing a weighted-average interest rate of 6.4% (approximately 120 basis points below last year). Our debt has a weighted average maturity of eight years, and none of our debt matures before June 2014. We had $123.7 million of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash at December 31, 2012.

In December, we amended and restated our $225 million secured line of credit facility. Pricing and other terms of the amended facility were improved significantly relative to the existing facility. The facility now matures in June 2017, assuming exercise of a one-year extension that is subject to certain conditions. Borrowings under the facility bear interest at LIBOR (no floor) plus 3.375%. The facility is secured by mortgages on eight hotels and related security interests and allows for partial release and substitution of properties, subject to certain conditions.

In December, we sold $525 million aggregate principal amount of our 5.625% senior secured notes due 2023. We used the proceeds to redeem $258 million in aggregate face amount of our 10% senior secured notes due 2014 and repay a $187 million 8.1% mortgage loan otherwise due in 2015. The remaining proceeds were used to repay a portion of the balance on our outstanding line of credit and to pay prepayment costs and other expenses.

In November, we obtained an $85 million construction loan secured by the Knickerbocker Hotel. The construction loan will mature in 2017, assuming exercise of a one-year extension option. The remaining redevelopment costs are expected to be funded with five-year financing that is currently being raised through the EB-5 visa program.

Andrew J. Welch, FelCor’s Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, said, “We have taken prudent steps to create a strong and flexible balance sheet with historically low and mostly fixed cost of debt. By selling hotels and taking advantage of favorable capital markets, we repaid higher-cost debt, extended our average debt maturity to eight years, lowered our average cost of borrowing by 120 basis points and increased FFO per share. We will continue to strengthen our balance sheet and further reduce our cost of borrowing as we use proceeds from asset sales to repay higher-cost debt.”

Outlook:

Our 2013 outlook reflects continued strength in lodging fundamentals, including continued demand growth and historically low supply growth in our markets. During 2013, our portfolio will experience disruption from renovations and redevelopment at 12 hotels and from transitioning the eight hotels to Wyndham. We expect that this will adversely impact 2013 RevPAR by roughly 1.5%, but will be more than recaptured in 2014. Therefore, we expect our RevPAR to grow 5-6% in 2013, primarily from ADR growth, with stronger flow-through to same-store Adjusted EBITDA compared to 2012.

Our outlook also reflects selling 11 hotels during 2013. The low-end of our outlook assumes all sales occur in April, and the high-end of our outlook assumes all the sales occur at the beginning of the fourth quarter.

During 2013, we anticipate:

  • Same-store RevPAR to increase between 5-6%;
  • Adjusted EBITDA to be between $186 million and $205 million;
  • Adjusted FFO per share to be between $0.31 and $0.43;
  • Net loss attributable to FelCor to be between $70 million and $63 million; and
  • Interest expense, including pro rata share of joint ventures, to be between $102 million and $106 million.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We refer in this release to certain “non-GAAP financial measures.” These measures, including FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, same-store Adjusted EBITDA, Hotel EBITDA and Hotel EBITDA margin, are measures of our financial performance that are not calculated and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The following tables reconcile each of these non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measure. Immediately following the reconciliations, we include a discussion of why we believe these measures are useful supplemental measures of our performance and the limitations of such measures.

Substantially all of our non-current assets consist of real estate. Historical cost accounting for real estate assets implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values instead have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, most industry investors consider supplemental measures of performance, which are not measures of operating performance under GAAP, to be helpful in evaluating a real estate company’s operations. These supplemental measures are not measures of operating performance under GAAP. However, we consider these non-GAAP measures to be supplemental measures of a hotel REIT’s performance and should be considered along with, but not as an alternative to, net income (loss) attributable to FelCor as a measure of our operating performance.

FFO and EBITDA

The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) defines FFO as net income or loss attributable to parent (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains or losses from sales of property, plus depreciation, amortization and impairment losses. FFO for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures are calculated on the same basis. We compute FFO in accordance with standards established by NAREIT. This may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs that do not define the term in accordance with the current NAREIT definition or that interpret the current NAREIT definition differently than we do.

EBITDA is a commonly used measure of performance in many industries. We define EBITDA as net income or loss attributable to parent (computed in accordance with GAAP) plus interest expenses, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures are calculated to reflect EBITDA on the same basis.

Adjustments to FFO and EBITDA

We adjust FFO and EBITDA when evaluating our performance because management believes that the exclusion of certain additional items, including but not limited to those described below, provides useful supplemental information to investors regarding our ongoing operating performance and that the presentation of Adjusted FFO, and Adjusted EBITDA when combined with GAAP net income attributable to FelCor, EBITDA and FFO, is beneficial to an investor’s better understanding of our operating performance.

  • Gains and losses related to extinguishment of debt and interest rate swaps - We exclude gains and losses related to extinguishment of debt and interest rate swaps from FFO and EBITDA because we believe that it is not indicative of ongoing operating performance of our hotel assets. This also represents an acceleration of interest expense or a reduction of interest expense, and interest expense is excluded from EBITDA.
  • Cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle - Infrequently, the Financial Accounting Standards Board promulgates new accounting standards that require the consolidated statements of operations to reflect the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle. We exclude these one-time adjustments in computing Adjusted FFO and Adjusted EBITDA because they do not reflect our actual performance for that period.

In addition, to derive Adjusted EBITDA we exclude gains or losses on the sale of depreciable assets and impairment losses because we believe that including them in EBITDA is not consistent with reflecting the ongoing performance of our remaining assets. Additionally, the gain or loss on sale of depreciable assets and impairment losses represents either accelerated depreciation or excess depreciation in previous periods, and depreciation is excluded from EBITDA.

Hotel EBITDA and Hotel EBITDA Margin

Hotel EBITDA and Hotel EBITDA margin are commonly used measures of performance in the hotel industry and give investors a more complete understanding of the operating results over which our individual hotels and brand/managers have direct control. We believe that Hotel EBITDA and Hotel EBITDA margin are useful to investors by providing greater transparency with respect to two significant measures that we use in our financial and operational decision-making. Additionally, using these measures facilitates comparisons with other hotel REITs and hotel owners. We present Hotel EBITDA and Hotel EBITDA margin by eliminating all revenues and expenses from continuing operations not directly associated with hotel operations, including corporate-level expenses, depreciation and amortization, and expenses related to our capital structure. We eliminate corporate-level costs and expenses because we believe property-level results provide investors with supplemental information into the ongoing operational performance of our hotels and the effectiveness of management on a property-level basis.

We eliminate depreciation and amortization because, even though depreciation and amortization are property-level expenses, we do not believe that these non-cash expenses, which are based on historical cost accounting for real estate assets, and implicitly assume that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time, accurately reflect an adjustment in the value of our assets. We also eliminate consolidated percentage rent paid to unconsolidated entities, which is effectively eliminated by noncontrolling interests and equity in income from unconsolidated subsidiaries, and include the cost of unconsolidated taxes, insurance and lease expense, to reflect the entire operating costs applicable to our Consolidated Hotels. Hotel EBITDA and Hotel EBITDA margins are presented on a same-store basis.

Use and Limitations of Non-GAAP Measures

Our management and Board of Directors use FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Same-store Adjusted EBITDA, Hotel EBITDA and Hotel EBITDA margin to evaluate the performance of our hotels and to facilitate comparisons between us and other lodging REITs, hotel owners who are not REITs and other capital intensive companies. We use Hotel EBITDA and Hotel EBITDA margin in evaluating hotel-level performance and the operating efficiency of our hotel managers.

The use of these non-GAAP financial measures has certain limitations. These non-GAAP financial measures as presented by us, may not be comparable to non-GAAP financial measures as calculated by other real estate companies. These measures do not reflect certain expenses or expenditures that we incurred and will incur, such as depreciation, interest and capital expenditures. Management compensates for these limitations by separately considering the impact of these excluded items to the extent they are material to operating decisions or assessments of our operating performance. Our reconciliations to the most comparable GAAP financial measures, and our consolidated statements of operations and cash flows, include interest expense, capital expenditures, and other excluded items, all of which should be considered when evaluating our performance, as well as the usefulness of our non-GAAP financial measures.

These non-GAAP financial measures are used in addition to and in conjunction with results presented in accordance with GAAP. They should not be considered as alternatives to operating profit, cash flow from operations, or any other operating performance measure prescribed by GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures reflect additional ways of viewing our operations that we believe, when viewed with our GAAP results and the reconciliations to the corresponding GAAP financial measures, provide a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business than could be obtained absent this disclosure. Management strongly encourages investors to review our financial information in its entirety and not to rely on a single financial measure.
