Wyndham Reports 4th Qtr Net Loss of $37 million; 
RevPAR Up 7.6%,  Company�s Total Debt
Now $2.827 billion
$590 Million in Asset Sales in 2002

DALLAS (Feb. 6, 2003) -Wyndham International, Inc. (AMEX:WBR) today reported results for the fourth quarter and full year ending Dec. 31, 2002.

Business Performance

On a comparable pro forma basis, which reflects adjustments for acquisitions and dispositions, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), as adjusted, was $55.7 million for the fourth quarter versus $54.4 million for the same period in 2001.  For the full year of 2002, pro forma EBITDA, as adjusted, was $301.3 million, versus $398.5 million in 2001.   The pro forma results have been adjusted to remove the operating results of all assets sold during 2002, as if sold on Jan. 1, 2001.
Wyndham reported a net loss of $37 million and a pro forma net loss of $43.1 million for the fourth quarter, versus a $57.1 million net loss and a $61.7 million pro forma net loss for the same period in 2001.  After the effect of the Company�s preferred dividend, this resulted in a net loss of $0.44 per share and a pro forma net loss per share of $0.48 for the quarter.  For the full year 2002, the net loss was $500 million and the pro forma net loss was $513.8 million, versus a $139 million net loss and a $492.9 million pro forma net loss for the prior year.  Significant components of the difference between the pro forma net loss of $513.8 million and the pro forma EBITDA, as adjusted, of $301.3 million include $324.1 million of goodwill write-off, $267.1 million of depreciation and amortization, $227.8 million of interest expense, and $84.8 million of derivative losses offset by a $122.4 million tax benefit.  (See attached schedule for complete reconciliation between net loss and EBITDA.)

Revenue per available room (RevPAR) continued to improve each quarter of the year.  RevPAR for the Company�s comparable owned and leased hotels improved from a decline of 23.1 percent in the fourth quarter 2001 to an increase of 7.6 percent in the fourth quarter of 2002, which exceeded the Company�s guidance of 5.0 to 7.0 percent.  The increase for the fourth quarter was comprised of a 7.1 percentage point increase in occupancy and a 4.2 percent reduction in average daily rate (ADR) for a RevPAR of $67.82.

�Given the challenging climate for the lodging industry, we made a strategic decision to grow our market share through a focus on occupancy.  Our strategy paid off as RevPAR improved steadily throughout the year,� said Wyndham International Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Fred J. Kleisner. 

Branded Performance

For the fourth quarter 2002, comparable owned and operated Wyndham hotels and resorts had a RevPAR of $75.75, a 14.2 percent increase from the fourth quarter of 2001.  For the year, these hotels and resorts experienced a RevPAR decline of only 2.4 percent, derived from a 3.1 percentage point increase in occupancy and a 6.7 percent decline in ADR.  RevPAR on all comparable Wyndham owned and leased properties declined 6.8 percent during the year, which was comprised of a 1.1 percentage point increase in occupancy and an 8.3 percent decline in rate compared to 2001.  Wyndham-branded owned and leased properties increased their RevPAR penetration index within its competitive set each month of the fourth quarter versus the prior year:

October +150 bps
November +230 bps
December  +620 bps

Further, these properties ended the year with a RevPAR index of over 100 percent.
Mr. Kleisner stated: �The marked improvement of our branded properties compared to our total owned and leased portfolio underscores our core strategy to focus on proprietary-branded operations and, specifically, reflects the strength of Wyndham ByRequest®, our guest loyalty program.  Wyndham ByRequest is a unique program that has helped us grow market share by treating our guests as individuals.  The market response has been outstanding; we have tripled membership since June 2002 with almost 1.2 million members.�

The operating margins for Wyndham-branded properties remained strong despite occupancy gains from guests paying lower rates, creating margin compression.  For the fourth quarter, hotel gross operating profit margins at Wyndham-branded owned and operated hotels and resorts maintained the same margins as in the prior year even with significant cost increases in property and casualty insurance.  These fixed cost increases were offset by variable cost reductions reflecting the effectiveness of proactive business planning.

Financial Highlights

Cash and equivalents were $181.1 million as of Dec. 31, 2002, inclusive of $143.8 million of restricted cash.  Cash and equivalents increased by $15.7 million from the $165.4 million on hand at the end of the third quarter 2002.

During the fourth quarter, debt decreased by $460 million due primarily to the application of net asset sale proceeds.  As of Dec. 31, 2002, the Company�s total debt was $2.827 billion.  The breakdown of the debt at year-end was as follows: Revolver $156.4 million; IRLs $447.7 million; Term Loans $1.183 billion; and Mortgage and other indebtedness $1.039 billion. At the end of the fourth quarter, liquidity was approximately $256 million.  The Company defines liquidity as revolver availability, plus cash available at the corporate level. 

Said Mr. Kleisner: �Since the beginning of 2000, we have maintained a strong liquidity position, notwithstanding the sluggish economy that began in 2001 and continues into 2003.  We will continue to manage cash very tightly and make prudent spending decisions in light of the current economic conditions.� 

Wyndham began 2002 with approximately $280 million of mortgage loans coming due in the year.  Through extensions and refinancings, the Company eliminated its 2002 maturities.  In addition, it is currently in the process of receiving bids to refinance its 2003 and 2004 mortgage pool maturities and to push the maturity dates by at least five years. 

Additionally, during the quarter, the Company spent approximately $23 million on capital expenditures.  For the full year of 2003, Wyndham expects to commit approximately $83 million in maintenance capital expenditures. 

Strategic Plan

In 2002, the Company sold 20 hotel properties and its investment in Shula�s Steakhouse for gross proceeds of approximately $590 million, including the sale of 14 non-strategic assets to Westbrook Hotel Partners for gross proceeds of approximately $517 million. 

In total, since 1999, the Company has sold 102 assets for approximately $1.5 billion.  Wyndham has 34 non-strategic assets remaining to be sold.  The Company expects to generate gross proceeds in the range of $750 million to $900 million from the sale of these remaining non-strategic assets.  The net proceeds will be used to reduce debt. 

Wyndham has and will continue to focus its business development in the acquisition of management and franchise contracts with little to no capital investment as well as the conversion of non-proprietary-branded hotels to the Wyndham flag. 

During 2002, Wyndham signed seven new franchise agreements.  The largest franchise agreement was the 850-room Wyndham Nassau located in the Bahamas.  The property was converted from Marriott on Nov. 1, 2002.  On Dec. 1, 2002, the Company converted the Hilton Little Rock to a Wyndham Hotel.  In addition, during the year, the Company has, or is in the process of, converting three other owned, non-proprietary hotels to the Wyndham brand: the Condado Plaza in Puerto Rico, the Hilton Ft. Lauderdale in Florida and the Hilton Columbus in Georgia.

2003 Guidance 

For the first quarter of 2003, RevPAR is forecasted to be negative 1 to 2 percent as compared to the first quarter of 2002, and EBITDA, as adjusted, is forecasted to be between $82 and $87 million.  For the full year of 2003, the Company is estimating RevPAR to be flat to slightly positive, and full year EBITDA, as adjusted, is expected to be essentially flat as compared to 2002, in the range of $300-$305 million.

Said Mr. Kleisner: �Our 2003 projections assume that there is no measurable recovery in the economy until the end of 2003, there are no major terrorist attacks against the US, and we have not built in any impact of a potential war with Iraq.  When Sept. 11 happened, it took us 14 days to implement a plan; in the event of war in Iraq, we will be ready to implement our plan within 24 hours.�

Mr. Kleisner continued: �Wyndham will remain nimble to react to changes in our industry and make the necessary adjustments to our business operating plan to maintain a financially sound company.� 

The Company has also taken additional expense reductions to offset the increases in fixed expenses such as property, health and directors and officers insurance.  These additional measures include the reduction in the workforce and a wage freeze for all non-hourly employees in both the field and the corporate office.  The Company expects these actions will help keep 2003 operating margins slightly above 2002 levels.
