SPOKANE, Wash., Feb. 28, 2013 -- Red Lion Hotels Corporation
(NYSE: RLH), a western U.S. based owner and franchisor of midscale
hotels, today announced its results for the fourth quarter and year
ended December 31, 2012.
Fourth Quarter and Full Year Highlights:
- Fourth quarter RevPAR for comparable owned and leased
hotels increased 4.3 percent year over year; RevPAR was up 5.5 percent
for the full year
- Fourth quarter ADR for comparable owned and leased
hotels also increased 4.3 percent year over year; ADR was up 1.5
percent for the full year
- Occupancy was up 240 basis points for the full year
- Closed on the sale of three hotel properties using the
proceeds to pay down $17.7 million in
debt
- Ended year with 20 franchise hotels and two signed
agreements for franchise hotels that opened subsequent to year end.
Comparable operating results and data from continuing
operations (as disclosed in the table by the same title) for the
periods included in this release exclude from hotel operations the
results of the Red Lion Hotel on Fifth Avenue in Seattle, which was sold in the second
quarter of 2011, the Red Lion Colonial Hotel in Helena, Montana, which was sold in the
third quarter of 2012, and the Red Lion Hotel Denver Southeast, which
was sold in the fourth quarter of 2012. Following the sales, these
properties continue to operate as franchised hotels and the company is
therefore required to report their financial results in continuing
operations. Throughout this release the company refers to certain
non-GAAP financial measures. Please refer to the tables attached to
this release for a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures
to their most directly comparable financial measure determined in
accordance with GAAP.
"I am pleased with Red Lion's accomplishments in 2012," said Jon E. Eliassen, President and Chief
Executive Officer of Red Lion Hotels Corporation. "We increased our
RevPAR and ADR, grew our hotel network, better defined our product
offerings and strengthened our balance sheet by using proceeds from
asset sales to pay down debt. We are well-positioned to refinance our
maturing debt."
"We continue to execute our asset sale strategy which is
providing additional capital to further invest in our owned hotels,"
Eliassen said. "At the same time, we continue to make progress on
growing our network of hotels through franchising. During the fourth
quarter, we opened two new locations and converted a formerly owned
hotel in Denver. We also signed two new franchises, which converted
subsequent to year end."
Fourth Quarter 2012 Results
Comparable revenue from owned and leased hotels of $27.1 million increased $0.6
million or 2.1 percent compared to the same period a year ago.
Comparable RevPAR increased 4.3 percent year over year to $41.20 driven by a 4.3 percent increase in ADR
to $80.53. Comparable hotel direct
operating margin declined to 9.6 percent from 14.7 percent in the same
period in 2011. Fourth quarter 2011 results benefitted from workers'
compensation expense adjustments, reductions of real property tax
assessments and labor cost reductions that did not reoccur in the 2012
period.
Franchise revenue increased to $1.2
million from $1.1 million from
the same period a year ago. Profitability in the segment was negatively
impacted by increased investment in sales and marketing initiatives.
Entertainment revenue grew to $2.8
million, up $0.4 million from
2011. This increase was primarily driven by the timing and mix of
shows. However, profitability declined year over year as the ticketing
division continues to see decreased demand.
On a comparable basis, total company EBITDA from continuing
operations before special items was $0.2 million
for the fourth quarter compared to $1.3 million
in the prior year period. As mentioned above, the fourth quarter of the
prior year benefitted from certain non-recurring favorable adjustments
relating to worker's compensation expense, real property tax
assessments and labor cost reductions.
Net loss from continuing operations in the fourth quarter of
2012 was $3.8 million, including $0.6 million in pre-tax impairment charges,
compared to $20.5 million in the prior
year period. The prior year period included $21
million in pre-tax impairment charges related to goodwill and
certain assets held for sale.
Full Year Ended December 31, 2012
Results
Comparable revenue from owned and leased hotels of $126.6 million increased $5.5 million, or 4.6 percent compared to prior
year. Comparable RevPAR increased 5.5 percent driven by a 240 basis
point increase in occupancy and a 1.5 percent increase in ADR. RevPAR
results exceeded the company's guidance of 3 to 5 percent growth, due
to stronger than anticipated ADR performance. Comparable hotel direct
operating margin declined to 19.4 percent from 19.9 percent in the
prior year due to increased occupancy-related costs, including
reservations and commissions expenses, as well as prior year
adjustments to workers' compensation expense and labor cost reductions.
Franchise revenue increased to $5.2
million from $4.0 million in
2011. Revenue and profitability improved year over year primarily due
to the addition of franchises to the system.
Entertainment revenue of $9.2 million
decreased $2.2 million from the prior
year primarily driven by a change in the mix of productions during the
year and a decline in ticketing revenue due to weak demand for
entertainment events in the company's markets. Profitability for the
segment declined as the prior year Best of Broadway series included a
sold out 11-day run of the hit, "Wicked," and there was not a similar
production in 2012.
On a comparable basis, total company EBITDA from continuing
operations before special items was $14.2
million for the full year ended December
31, 2012 compared to $12.5 million
in the prior year, an increase of 13.7 percent.
Net loss from continuing operations for 2012 was $10.5 million compared to $5.6 million in the prior year. The comparison
of the two years is impacted by the timing of asset sales, impairment
charges, gain on property sales, and income tax adjustments. Major
items impacting 2012 include partial year results of assets that were
sold during the year and $9.4 million in
pre-tax asset impairment charges. Major items impacting 2011 include
pre-tax goodwill and asset impairment charges of $23.1
million, a $33.5 million pre-tax
gain on the sale of a property, and the income tax effect of a
non-deductible goodwill impairment charge.
Discontinued Operations
At December 31, 2012, the
operations of the company's commercial mall in Kalispell, Montana were classified as
discontinued operations. Additional operating results classified as
discontinued include the property in Medford,
Oregon and the ownership of certain real estate in Sacramento, California. This presentation
as required under generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP")
separately reports the results including any related asset impairment
charges, net of income taxes as "net income (loss) from discontinued
operations" on the company's statement of operations for all periods
presented.
The operating results of the Red Lion Inn Missoula in Montana had been classified as discontinued
operations since the fourth quarter of 2011 because the property was
not expected to continue to operate as a Red Lion franchise. Upon
closing of the sale of this property on February
20, 2013, however, the buyers signed a franchise agreement with
the company. The company therefore reclassified the results of the
property as a continuing operation for the fourth quarter and all
comparable periods presented.
Asset Impairments
During the fourth quarter, the company recorded $0.4 million and $0.2
million in pre-tax asset impairment charges in continuing
operations related to its properties held for sale in Pendleton, Oregon and Missoula, Montana respectively. For the
full year, pre-tax asset impairment charges from continuing operations
totaled $9.4 million relating to the
company's properties held for sale or sold in Southeast
Denver, Colorado, Helena and Missoula, Montana and Pendleton, Oregon.
Reported EBITDA from continuing operations before special
items for 2012 excludes these impairment charges which are separately
identified in the company's operating results.
Liquidity and Balance Sheet
At December 31, 2012, the
company had $6.5 million in cash and
cash equivalents and $10.0 million
available on its line of credit. Additionally, at December 31, 2012, the company had outstanding
debt of $80.0 million, of which $49.2 million is current. This compares to
outstanding debt of $100.5 million, of
which $3.3 million was current, at December 31, 2011. Based on the reduction in
debt and strengthening of the balance sheet, the company believes it
will be well-positioned to refinance its debt that matures in 2013.
Capital expenditures for the full year ended December 31, 2012, totaled $8.4 million primarily for hotel improvement
projects.
Assets Sold or Held for Sale
During 2012, the company sold three properties:
- Red Lion Colonial Hotel in Helena,
Montana closed in July 2012 for $5.6 million
- Red Lion Hotel Sacramento at Arden Village in California closed in August
2012 for $9.0 million
- Red Lion Hotel Denver Southeast in Aurora, Colorado closed in October 2012 for $13.0
million
At December 31, 2012, the
following assets were classified as held for sale on the balance sheet:
the Red Lion Hotel Medford, the Red Lion Inn Missoula, the Red Lion
Hotel Pendleton and the commercial mall in Kalispell.
Subsequent to year end, the company closed on the sale of the
Red Lion Inn Missoula in Montana for $1.95 million. Upon closing of the sale of
this property, the buyers signed a franchise agreement with the company.
Franchise Update
In 2012, the company signed six franchise agreements; four
with owners of new locations and two with the buyers of the company's
previously owned properties:
- Red Lion Colonial Hotel, Helena,
Montana, effective in July 2012
(formerly owned by the company)
- Red Lion Hotel Woodlake Conference Center Sacramento,
converted in October 2012
- Red Lion Hotel Denver Southeast, effective in October 2012 (formerly owned by the company)
- Red Lion Inn & Suites Cathedral City, converted in December 2012
- Red Lion Inn & Suites Denver Airport, converted in January 2013
- Red Lion Inn & Suites Kent,
Washington, converted in February 2013
Subsequent Events
In January, the company announced The Leo Hotel Collection, a
new soft brand for independent owners of unique, boutique, historic and
destination hotels looking for access to a franchise distribution
system, while maintaining the individual identity of their hotels. In
February, the company announced the first member of the Leo Hotel
Collection, the LVH – Las Vegas Hotel & Casino, a 2,956 room resort
adjacent to the Las Vegas Convention
Center. The company will earn incremental revenue based on the
reservations delivered to the LVH through select Red Lion distribution
channels.
Also in January and February, the company opened two new
franchise locations, the Red Lion Inn & Suites Denver Airport in Colorado and the Red Lion Inn & Suites
Kent in Washington.
In February, the company closed on the sale of its Red Lion
Inn Missoula in Montana for $1.95 million. Upon closing of the sale of
this property, the buyers signed a franchise agreement with the company.
Outlook for 2013
Based on the outlook for the markets in which the company
operates and on currently available information, the company is
providing the following RevPAR guidance and plans for capital
expenditures for 2013:
- Full year 2013 RevPAR for comparable owned and leased
hotels is expected to increase 1 to 3 percent over 2012, driven
primarily by ADR increases.
- The company expects to invest $10-12
million in capital improvements in 2013. The timing of future
asset sales could increase this investment up to an additional $10 million.

Comparable
operating results from continuing operations and comparable operating
results from continuing operations before special items represent
reported operating results less the impact of the Seattle, Helena and
Denver Southeast properties' results and less the impact of certain
non-recurring charges that do not allow for a meaningful comparison
between periods. We utilize these measures because management finds
them a useful tool to perform more meaningful comparisons of past,
present and future operating results and as a means to evaluate the
results of core, ongoing operations. We also believe that investors
will find them to be a useful tool to perform more meaningful
comparisons of past, present and future operating results and as a
means to evaluate the results of core, ongoing operations. We believe
they are a complement to reported operating results. Comparable
operating results from continuing operations and comparable operating
results from continuing operations before special items are not
intended to represent reported operating results defined by generally
accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"), and such
information should not be considered as an alternative to reported
information or any other measure of performance prescribed by GAAP.

NON-GAAP
FINANCIAL MEASURES
|
|
EBITDA
is defined as net income attributable to Red Lion Hotels Corporation,
before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is
considered a non-GAAP financial measurement. We believe it is a useful
financial performance measure for us and for our shareholders and is a
complement to net income attributable to Red Lion Hotels Corporation
and other financial performance measures provided in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP").
|
|
We use
EBITDA to measure financial performance because it excludes interest,
taxes, depreciation and amortization, which bear little or no
relationship to operating performance. By excluding interest expense,
EBITDA measures our financial performance irrespective of our capital
structure or how we finance our properties and operations. We generally
pay federal and state income taxes on a consolidated basis, taking into
account how the applicable taxing laws apply to our company in the
aggregate. By excluding taxes on income, we believe EBITDA provides a
basis for measuring the financial performance of our operations
excluding factors that our hotels and other operations cannot control.
By excluding depreciation and amortization expense, which can vary from
hotel to hotel based on historical cost and other factors unrelated to
the hotels' financial performance, EBITDA measures the financial
performance of our hotels without regard to their historical cost. For
all of these reasons, we believe that EBITDA provides us and investors
with information that is relevant and useful in evaluating our
business.
|
|
However,
because EBITDA excludes depreciation and amortization, it does not
measure the capital we require to maintain or preserve our long-lived
assets. In addition, because EBITDA does not reflect interest expense,
it does not take into account the total amount of interest we pay on
outstanding debt nor does it show trends in interest costs due to
changes in our borrowings or changes in interest rates. EBITDA, as
defined by us, may not be comparable to EBITDA as reported by other
companies that do not define EBITDA exactly as we define the term.
Because we use EBITDA to evaluate our financial performance, we
reconcile all EBITDA measures to net income attributable to Red Lion
Hotels Corporation, which is the most comparable financial measure
calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. EBITDA does not
represent cash provided by operating activities determined in
accordance with GAAP, and should not be considered as an alternative to
operating income or net income attributable to Red Lion Hotels
Corporation determined in accordance with GAAP as an indicator of
performance or as an alternative to cash flows from operating
activities as an indicator of liquidity.

During
the fourth quarter of 2012, the Company recorded $0.4 million and $0.2
million in pre-tax impairment charges in continuing operations related
to its properties held for sale in Pendleton, Oregon and Missoula,
Montana, respectively. During the third quarter of 2012, the Company
recorded a $1.9 million pre-tax impairment charge in continuing
operations related to its property held for sale in Pendleton, Oregon.
During the second quarter of 2012, the Company recorded a $0.3 million
pre-tax impairment charge in continuing operations related to its sold
property in Helena, Montana. During the first quarter of 2012, the
Company recorded $3.9 million, $2.0 million and $0.7 million, in
pre-tax impairment charges in continuing operations related to its sold
Denver Southeast property, its sold property in Helena, Montana and its
held for sale property in Missoula, Montana, respectively. During the
fourth quarter of 2011, the Company recorded $4.6 million, $0.4
million, $1.7 million in pre-tax impairment charges in continuing
operations related to its sold Denver Southeast property and its held
for sale property in Missoula, Montana, and its property in Vancouver,
Washington, respectively. During the third quarter of 2011, the Company
recorded a $2.1 million pre-tax impairment charge in continuing
operations related to its sold property in Helena, Montana. In
addition, during the second quarter 2011, the Company recorded a $33.5
million gain from the sale of its hotel in Seattle, Washington. As a
result, the operations as presented in the accompanying financial
statements for the three months and year ended December 31, 2012
compared to 2011 do not reflect a meaningful comparison between
periods. The following table represents a reconciliation of EBITDA from
continuing operations before special items to EBITDA from continuing
operations per the consolidated statement of operations.
