(a)In thousands, except per share and percentage change data

FFO, Adjusted FFO, FFO per share, Adjusted FFO per share, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) financial measures and are discussed in further detail on pages 7-8.

FFO and FFO per share for the first quarter 2004 include $4,249,000 in issuance costs pertaining to the Series A Cumulative Convertible preferred shares that were redeemed in January 2004. The Series A preferred share issuance costs have been excluded from Adjusted FFO, Adjusted FFO per share, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA.

Adjusted FFO, Adjusted FFO per share and Adjusted EBITDA exclude other charges and discontinued operations.

Adjusted EBITDA excludes a gain on sale of hotels of $1,490,000 and $1,029,000 for the first quarters of 2005 and 2004, respectively.

Operating Results

Revenue per available room (RevPAR) for the company's 65 comparable hotel properties increased 8.9 percent for the first quarter 2005 to $74.20, compared to the first quarter 2004. The increase was led by average daily rate (ADR), which improved 7.2 percent to $102.58. Occupancy rose 1.5 percent to 72.3 percent.

The RevPAR improvement of 8.9 percent for the first quarter 2005 reflects a 2.9 percent increase in RevPAR at the company's eight Silicon Valley, Calif. hotel properties. Excluding Silicon Valley, the remainder of the company's portfolio achieved RevPAR improvement of 10.0 percent for the first quarter 2005.

Adjusted FFO per share and Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter 2005 were $0.22 and $18.8 million, respectively, compared to $0.16 and $15.4 million for the first quarter 2004 (see pages 6-7 for a further discussion regarding these financial measures). The Adjusted FFO per share of $0.22 increased $0.06 compared to the first quarter 2004 due primarily to the 8.9 percent RevPAR increase. The Adjusted FFO per share of $0.22 exceeded the company's Adjusted FFO per share guidance of $0.20 for the 2005 first quarter. The company's taxable REIT subsidiaries (TRS) incurred a net loss in the first quarter 2004 of $1.7 million with a hotel gross margin of 77 percent and hotel gross operating profit of 42 percent.

The net loss applicable to common shareholders, FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA and all per share calculations in the first quarter 2005 include a $430,000 charge to reflect the estimated loss of misappropriation of receipts on hotel accounts receivable at one of the company's 68 hotels. An investigation is continuing with respect to this matter. The company intends to pursue a recovery of any loss under existing insurance policies, although there can be no assurance that such recovery will be obtained.

"The strength and continuing improvement in lodging industry fundamentals are reflected in our strong first quarter operating results, which exceeded our 6 percent RevPAR guidance for the period," said Jeffrey H. Fisher, Innkeepers chief executive officer and president. "Business travel demand remains buoyant and continues to positively impact our hotels, which are located primarily in major business centers. ADR was the main driver for the second quarter in a row.

"The positive momentum of 2004 carried into the first quarter, and we are confident that 2005 will be a strong recovery year," Fisher added.

Acquisitions

"In addition to strong internal growth, we continued to execute our external growth strategy through accretive acquisitions, closing on two properties during the quarter. The two hotels are in high-demand, high-barriers-to-new-competition markets in the Northeast, where we continue to expand our presence.

"The Columbia, Md. Hampton Inn, which we purchased in January, is located midway between Baltimore and Washington, D.C., close to BWI airport and proximate to a 584-acre corporate business park.

"In January we acquired a hotel in Montvale in northern New Jersey, which we are converting to a Courtyard by Marriott following a $5 million renovation. The property is closed during the refurbishment, which is under way, and we expect to reopen in early 2006."

Repositionings

Fisher noted that two other hotels remain closed while they undergo renovations, rebranding and repositioning. "Our Louisville, Ky. hotel is in the final stages of its makeover and will re-open as a Hampton Inn later this month. In Atlantic City, we have begun a major refurbishment of a hotel we bought just off the Boardwalk and are converting to a Courtyard. We anticipate the property re-opening at the end of this year.

New Development

"We are moving forward with plans to build a 157-suite Embassy Suites on a site we purchased in Valencia, Calif. last year, 30 miles north of Los Angeles in the Santa Clarita Valley," he added. "Valencia is surrounded by 22 million square feet of office space housing 1,400 companies and 44,500 employees, and also is proximate to a number of popular leisure demand generators, including Six Flags Magic Mountain and six championship golf courses. This is our first Embassy Suites hotel, a Hilton brand, and we are on schedule to open the property in 2006.

"Last year we acquired four properties, and we expect to continue to grow in 2005 by accretively adding hotels to our portfolio. We have the flexibility and the capacity to aggressively pursue additional opportunities."

Dispositions

Fisher pointed out that the company continued to selectively prune and upgrade its portfolio, selling three hotels during the first quarter--the Lake Oswego, Ore. Residence Inn, the Vancouver, Wash. Residence Inn, and the Holiday Inn Express, Lexington, Mass. Aggregate net proceeds of approximately $21 million were used to pay down debt. "We do not anticipate any further dispositions this year."

2005 Guidance

David Bulger, executive vice president, chief financial officer and treasurer, said, "Even though our first quarter 2005 RevPAR and Adjusted FFO per share exceeded the guidance we provided in February, we believe it is prudent, considering that we are in the early stages of the lodging industry recovery, to maintain our previous 2005 forecast of 6.0 percent RevPAR improvement and previous earnings guidance until May and June operating results are in. We anticipate providing updated guidance in our second quarter earnings report in early August."

The company invested $5 million in select capital projects at its hotel properties in the first quarter (excluding acquisitions, developments and in-progress rebranding projects). "Our properties are in excellent physical condition and very competitive in their respective markets," Bulger said. "We have budgeted a total of $17 million for capital projects this year."

Capital Structure

In February, the company completed an offering of 4.4 million common shares. Net proceeds of approximately $59.6 million were used to pay down a portion of the company's outstanding balance on its unsecured line of credit.

Bulger pointed out that the company continues to maintain one of the industry's strongest capital structures and lowest-levered balance sheets. "Our capital structure is probably at the strongest point in our 10-year history. Our debt to investment in hotels at cost ratio was 25 percent at March 31, 2005, with 100 percent of our debt due in 2007 and beyond. Our weighted average interest rate on our total debt is 7.3 percent, and 83 percent of our total debt is at fixed rates. "We have $30 million outstanding on our $135 million revolving unsecured line of credit, which matures in July 2007."

Dividend

The company recently announced an increase in its quarterly common share dividend to $0.10 from $0.06, beginning in the second quarter 2005. The company's board of trustees will evaluate an increase to the $0.10 quarterly common share dividend in the third quarter 2005.

Innkeepers USA Trust is a hotel real estate investment trust (REIT) and a leading owner of upscale extended-stay hotels properties throughout the United States. The company owns 68 hotels with a total of 8,521 suites or rooms in 20 states and Washington, D.C., and focuses on acquiring and/or developing upscale and upscale extended-stay hotels with premium brands and the rebranding and repositioning of other hotel properties. 

Included in this press release are certain "non-GAAP financial measures," within the meaning of Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) rules and regulations, that are different from measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles). These non-GAAP financial measures are (i) funds from operations (FFO), (ii) FFO per share, (iii) Adjusted FFO, (iv) Adjusted FFO per share, (v) net income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP) before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, common and preferred minority interests and preferred dividends (EBITDA), and (vi) Adjusted EBITDA. The following explains why we believe these measures help provide investors with a more complete understanding of our financial and operating performance.

FFO As Defined by NAREIT and Adjusted FFO

The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT) adopted the definition of FFO in order to promote an industry standard measure of REIT financial and operating performance. Management believes that the presentation of FFO and Adjusted FFO (defined below) provides useful supplemental information to investors regarding the company's financial condition and results of operations, particularly in reference to the company's ability to service debt, fund capital expenditures and pay cash dividends. Many other real estate companies use FFO as a measure of their financial and operating performance, which provides another basis of comparison for management. FFO, as defined, adds back historical cost depreciation. Historical cost depreciation assumes the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over a certain period of time. In fact, real estate asset values historically have increased or decreased with market conditions. Consequently, FFO and Adjusted FFO may be useful supplemental measures in evaluating financial and operating performance by disregarding, or adding back, historical cost depreciation in the calculation of FFO and Adjusted FFO. Additionally, FFO per share and Adjusted FFO per share targets have historically been used to determine a significant portion of the incentive compensation of the company's senior management.

NAREIT defines FFO as net income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (losses) from sales of property, plus real estate depreciation and amortization and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. The company calculates FFO in compliance with the NAREIT definition. The company defines Adjusted FFO as FFO (as defined by NAREIT), adjusted for non-recurring and/or non-cash items, including discontinued operations and impairment losses. FFO is reconciled to net income (loss) applicable to common shareholders determined in accordance with GAAP in the accompanying schedules.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP) before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, common and preferred minority interests and preferred dividends. The company defines Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA adjusted for non-recurring and/or non-cash items, including gains (losses) from sales of property, discontinued operations and impairment losses. Management believes that the presentation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA provides useful supplemental information to investors regarding the company's financial condition and results of operations, particularly in reference to the company's ability to service debt, fund capital expenditures and pay cash dividends. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are also factors in management's evaluation of the financial and operating performance of the company, hotel level performance, investment opportunities, dispositions and financing transactions.

FFO, FFO per share, Adjusted FFO, Adjusted FFO per share, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, as presented, may not be comparable to FFO, FFO per share, Adjusted FFO, Adjusted FFO per share, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as calculated by other real estate companies. These measures do not reflect certain expenses that the company incurred and will incur, such as depreciation and interest (although we show such expenses in the reconciliation of these measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measures). None of these measures should be considered as an alternative to net income, net cash provided by operating activities, or any other financial and operating performance measure prescribed by GAAP. These measures should only be used in conjunction with GAAP measures. EBITDA is reconciled to net income (loss) applicable to common shareholders determined in accordance with GAAP in the accompanying schedules.

Cautionary statements set forth in reports filed by the company from time to time with the SEC discuss important factors impacting, or that could impact, the company and its results or forecasted results.
