BETHESDA, Md., Oct. 12, 2011 -- Host Hotels & Resorts,
Inc. (NYSE: HST), the nation's largest lodging real estate investment
trust (REIT), today announced results of operations for the third
quarter ended September 9, 2011.
- Owned hotel revenues increased 15% to $1.085 billion for the third quarter of 2011
and increased 12% to $3.166 billion for
year-to-date 2011. Revenues for the Company's comparable properties
increased 5.3% for both periods. The 14 hotels acquired since July 2010 contributed revenues of $99 million
and $213 million for the third quarter and year-to-date, respectively.
Total revenues increased 14% for both the third quarter and
year-to-date 2011 to $1.142 billion and $3.340 billion, respectively, reflecting the
performance of the Company's owned hotels and the inclusion of
property-level revenues for 53 leased, select-service hotels for which
the Company previously recorded rental income.
- Net loss was $35 million, or $.05
per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2011 compared to net loss
of $61 million, or $.09 per diluted
share, for the third quarter of 2010. For year-to-date 2011, net loss
was $32 million, or $.05 per diluted
share, compared to a net loss of $126 million, or $.20 per diluted share, for year-to-date 2010.
The Company's operating results include transactions, such as losses on
debt extinguishments, litigation costs, acquisition costs and non-cash
impairment charges that can affect earnings and Funds From Operations
("FFO") per diluted share. The net effect of these items was a decrease
in earnings per diluted share of $.01
and $.02 in the third quarter of 2011 and 2010, respectively, and $.03 and $.04
for year-to-date 2011 and 2010, respectively.
- FFO was $112 million, or $.16
per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2011 compared to $75
million, or $.11 per diluted share, for
the third quarter of 2010. FFO was $399 million, or $.57 per diluted share, and $275 million, or $.42 per diluted share, for year-to-date 2011
and 2010, respectively. There was no FFO per share impact from the
above transactions affecting operating results for the third quarter of
2011, but they did decrease FFO per diluted share by $.02 in the third quarter of 2010 and $.03 and $.04
for year-to-date 2011 and 2010, respectively.
- Adjusted EBITDA, which is Earnings before Interest Expense,
Income Taxes, Depreciation, Amortization and other items, increased
27.7% to $212 million for the quarter and 23.2% to $669 million for
year-to-date 2011.
For further detail of the transactions affecting net income,
earnings per diluted share, FFO and FFO per diluted share, refer to the
notes to the "Reconciliation of Net Loss to EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and
FFO per Diluted Share." Adjusted EBITDA, FFO, FFO per diluted share and
comparable hotel adjusted operating profit margins (discussed below)
are non-GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) financial
measures within the meaning of the rules of the Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC). See the discussion included in this press release for
information regarding these non-GAAP financial measures.
OPERATING RESULTS
Comparable hotel RevPAR increased 6.4% for the third quarter,
as a result of the improvement of average room rate of 3.7%, combined
with an increase in occupancy of 1.9 percentage points to 75.8%. For
year-to-date 2011, comparable hotel RevPAR increased 6.3%, with the
majority of the increase driven by rate improvement of 4.5%, combined
with an increase in occupancy of 1.2 percentage points to 73.1%.
Comparable hotel adjusted operating profit margins increased 110 basis
points and 80 basis points for the third quarter and year-to-date 2011,
respectively.
EUROPEAN JOINT VENTURE
On September 30, 2011, the Company's European joint venture's
second fund (the "Euro JV Fund II"), in which the Company owns a 33.4%
interest, completed the previously announced acquisition of the
396-room Pullman Bercy in Paris for
approximately euro 96 million, including customary transfer taxes and
notary fees. With a strong location in Paris'
growing business district of Bercy, the hotel provides a first-class
meeting platform with 19,400 square feet of meeting space. The Euro JV
Fund II will invest an additional euro 9 million for the renovation of
the rooms and public space at the hotel and Accor will continue to
operate the hotel under the Pullman brand. The Euro JV Fund II now owns
two hotels and has approximately euro 360 million of committed equity
investment capacity remaining.
INVESTMENTS
On August 30, 2011, the Company purchased the remaining
interest in Tiburon Golf Ventures, L.P., which owns the golf club
surrounding The Ritz-Carlton, Naples Golf Resort, for $11 million. The Company previously held a 49%
limited partner interest in the entity.
RETURN ON INVESTMENT EXPENDITURES
The Company invested $32 million and $153 million in return on
investment (ROI) projects during the third quarter and year-to-date of
2011, respectively. These projects are designed to increase cash flow
and improve profitability by capitalizing on changing market conditions
and the favorable locations of the Company's properties. During the
third quarter, the Company completed the reinvention of the lobby at
the New York Marriott Marquis, including two signature restaurants and
lounges. Other on-going ROI projects include the renovation of all
guest-facing areas at the Atlanta Marriott Perimeter Center, which
encompasses the lobbies, rooms, restaurants and meeting space, and the
major redevelopment project at the Sheraton Indianapolis, which
includes the conversion of one tower of the hotel to apartment rental
units. The Company expects that its investment in ROI expenditures for
2011 will total approximately $220 million to $240 million.
RENEWAL AND REPLACEMENT EXPENDITURES
The Company also spent approximately $63 million and $182
million in the third quarter and year-to-date of 2011, respectively,
for renewal and replacement expenditures designed to ensure that the
high-quality standards of both the Company and its operators are
maintained. Major renewal and replacement projects substantially
completed during the third quarter include the renovation of the 45,000
square foot Broadway ballroom at the New York Marriott Marquis. During
the quarter, the Company also began work on extensive room renovations
at the JW Marriott, Desert Springs Resort & Spa and the renovation
of 40,000 square feet of ballroom and meeting space at the New Orleans
Marriott. The Company expects that renewal and replacement expenditures
for 2011 will total approximately $300 million to $320 million.
BALANCE SHEET
The Company utilized the proceeds from the second quarter
issuance of $500 million of 5 7/8%
Series W senior notes to repurchase approximately $105 million face
amount of its 2 5/8% Exchangeable Senior Debentures ("2007
Debentures"), for $106 million. The 2007 Debentures are puttable to the
Company in April 2012 and, based on the
Company's current stock price, the Company anticipates that the holders
will exercise this option.
As of September 9, 2011, the Company had approximately $524
million of cash and cash equivalents and approximately $481 million of
available capacity under its credit facility. Additionally, the Company
exercised its option to extend the maturity date of its credit facility
to September 2012.
DIVIDEND
On September 19, 2011, the Company's board of directors
authorized a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.04
per share on its common stock. The dividend is payable on October 17,
2011 to stockholders of record on September 30, 2011. Based on the
current guidance for 2011, the Company intends to declare, subject to
approval by the Company's board of directors, a fourth quarter dividend
of $0.04 or $0.05
per share.
2011 OUTLOOK
The Company anticipates that for 2011:
- Comparable hotel RevPAR will increase 6.25% to 6.75%;
- Operating profit margins under GAAP would increase
approximately 170 basis points to 190 basis points; and
- Comparable hotel adjusted operating profit margins will
increase approximately 80 basis points to 90 basis points.
Based upon these parameters, the Company estimates that its
full year 2011 guidance is as follows:
- earnings (loss) per diluted share should range from
approximately $(.03) to $(.01);
- net income (loss) should range from $(22) million to $(9)
million;
- FFO per diluted share should be approximately $.86 to $.88 (including the effect of a
reduction of $.03 due to debt
extinguishment costs, pursuit costs for completed acquisitions and
non-cash impairments); and
- Adjusted EBITDA should be approximately $1,015 million to $1,025
million.
- The Company previously announced that it had reached an
agreement to acquire the 888-room Grand Hyatt Washington,
D.C. for $442 million, which
included a $15 million deposit and the
possible assumption of a $166 million
mortgage loan. The guidance issued by the Company on July 20, 2011, in
conjunction with its second quarter earnings, assumed that the Grand
Hyatt hotel acquisition would close in September. The July guidance
included $9 million of EBITDA related to the acquisition. The Company
recently amended the agreement to extend the closing date to December 14, 2011, subject to customary
closing conditions. Therefore, the Company's current guidance assumes
the transaction will close on that date and there would be minimal
EBITDA generated by the hotel during the Company's ownership period. If
the transaction is not consummated, the Company will forfeit its $15 million deposit, but will not incur
closing costs and, as a result, the current forecast would decrease for
both the high and the low range for earnings per diluted share and FFO
per diluted share by $.01. In addition,
forecasted net income and Adjusted EBITDA would decrease $8 million and $15
million, respectively.
See the 2011 Forecast Schedules and Notes to Financial
Information for other assumptions used in the forecasts and items that
may affect forecasted results.

(b) On
July 6, 2010, we terminated the subleases for the 71 select-service
hotels that we leased from Hospitality Properties Trust ("HPT") (18 of
such leases were terminated effective December 31, 2010). As a result
of the transaction, we record the gross hotel revenues and expenses of
these hotels as opposed to rental income earned under the subleases;
however, we are subject to the rental expense due to HPT. The chart
below details the other revenue and other property-level expenses for
the third quarter and year-to-date of 2011 and 2010 related to the HPT
properties:

(b)
Dilutive securities may include shares granted under comprehensive
stock plans, preferred OP Units held by minority partners, exchangeable
debt securities and other non-controlling interests that have the
option to convert their limited partnership interests to common OP
Units. Due to the net loss for all periods presented, all of our
securities are anti-dilutive and, therefore, no effect for such
securities is shown.

(a)
Each OP Unit is redeemable for cash or, at the option of the Company,
1.021494 common shares of Host. At September 9, 2011 and December 31,
2010, there were 10.6 million and 10.5 million common OP Units,
respectively, held by non-controlling interests that were redeemable
into 10.8 million and 10.7 million shares, respectively, of Host common
stock.
|
|
(b)
Share prices are the closing price as reported by the New York Stock
Exchange.
|
|
(c)
Amount reflects market price of a single $1,000 debenture as quoted by
Bloomberg L.P.
|
|
(d) On
September 19, 2011, the Company declared a third quarter common cash
dividend of $0.04 per share.
|
|
(e) On
June 18, 2010, the Company redeemed its 8 7/8% Class E cumulative
redeemable preferred stock at a redemption price of $25.00 per share,
plus accrued dividends.
|
|
(f)
Reflects the $425 million and $75 million of 5 7/8% Series W senior
notes issued on May 11, 2011 and May 25, 2011, respectively, net of
original issue discounts totaling $4 million.
|
|
(g)
The principal balance outstanding of the 2 5/8% Exchangeable Senior
Debentures due 2027 (the "2007 Debentures") and the 2 1/2% Exchangeable
Senior Debentures due 2029 (the "2009 Debentures") is $421 million and
$400 million, respectively. The discounts related to these exchangeable
debentures are amortized through the first date at which the holders
can require Host to repurchase the exchangeable debentures for cash
(April 2012 for the 2007 Debentures and October 2015 for the 2009
Debentures). The discount related to the 3 1/4% Exchangeable Senior
Debentures due 2024 (the "2004 Debentures") has been fully amortized as
of December 31, 2010.
|
|
(h) In
May 2011, the Company gave notice of its intent to redeem $150 million
face amount of the 2004 Debentures. In June 2011, holders of
approximately $134 million of our 2004 Debentures elected to exchange
their debentures for shares of the Company’s common stock totaling
approximately 8.8 million shares in lieu of receiving the cash
redemption proceeds, while the remaining $16 million of the called
debentures were redeemed for cash.
|
|
(i)
During the third quarter of 2011, the Company repurchased approximately
$105 million face amount of the 2007 Debentures, with a carrying value
of $102 million, for $106 million and recorded a loss on the repurchase
of approximately $4 million. The 2007 Debentures are puttable to the
Company in April 2012 and, based on the Company’s current stock price,
the Company anticipates that the holders will exercise this option.
|
|
(j)
The interest rate shown is the weighted average rate of the outstanding
credit facility at September 9, 2011. At September 9, 2011, we had $481
million of available capacity under the revolver portion of the credit
facility.
|
|
(k)
Mortgage debt is secured by real estate assets with an undepreciated
book value of $1.6 billion and has a weighted average interest rate of
5.3% and 4.7% at September 9, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively,
maturing through December 2023. The book value of the assets securing
mortgage debt does not represent the current fair value of the assets.
|
|
(l) In
accordance with GAAP, total debt includes the debt of entities that we
consolidate, but do not own 100% of the entity, and excludes the debt
of entities that we do not consolidate, but have a non-controlling
ownership interest and record our investment therein under the equity
method of accounting. As of September 9, 2011, our non-controlling
partners’ share of consolidated debt is $67 million and our share of
debt in unconsolidated investments is $323 million.
|
|
(m)
Total debt as of September 9, 2011 and December 31, 2010 includes net
discounts of $70 million and $95 million, respectively.
|
|
(n)
The operating statistics reflect all consolidated properties as of
September 9, 2011 and September 10, 2010, respectively. The operating
statistics include the results of operations through their date of
disposition for one property disposed of and one property transferred
to the European joint venture in 2011 and two properties disposed of in
2010.

The full year 2011 forecasts were based on the below assumptions:
|
|
-
Comparable hotel RevPAR will increase 6.25% to 6.75% for the low and
high ends of the forecasted range, respectively.
|
|
-
Comparable hotel adjusted operating profit margins will increase 80
basis points to 90 basis points for the low and high ends of the
forecasted range, respectively.
|
|
- We
expect to complete the acquisition of the Grand Hyatt Washington, D.C.
in late December of 2011; therefore, only transaction costs have been
included in operating results.
|
|
-
Costs associated with debt extinguishments, acquisition costs and
non-cash impairment charges will decrease earnings and FFO per share by
$.03.
|
|
-
Interest expense includes approximately $44 million related to non-cash
interest expense for exchangeable senior debentures, amortization of
original issue discounts and deferred financing fees.
|
|
- We
expect to spend approximately $220 million to $240 million on ROI
capital expenditures.
|
|
- We
expect to spend approximately $300 million to $320 million on renewal
and replacement expenditures in 2011.
|
|

discussion of additional items that may affect forecasted results, see
Notes to the Financial Information.

FORECASTS
Our forecast of earnings per diluted share, FFO, FFO per
diluted share, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and comparable hotel adjusted
operating profit margins are forward-looking statements and are not
guarantees of future performance and involve known and unknown risks,
uncertainties and other factors which may cause actual results and
performance to differ materially from those expressed or implied by
these forecasts. Although we believe the expectations reflected in the
forecasts are based upon reasonable assumptions, we can give no
assurance that the expectations will be attained or that the results
will not be materially different. Risks that may affect these
assumptions and forecasts include the following: potential changes in
overall economic outlook make it inherently difficult to forecast the
level of RevPAR and margin growth; the amount and timing of
acquisitions and dispositions of hotel properties is an estimate that
can substantially affect financial results, including such items as net
income, depreciation and gains on dispositions; the level of capital
expenditures may change significantly, which will directly affect the
level of depreciation expense and net income; the amount and timing of
debt payments may change significantly based on market conditions,
which will directly affect the level of interest expense and net
income; the amount and timing of transactions involving shares of our
common stock may change based on market conditions; and other risks and
uncertainties associated with our business described herein and in our
annual report on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and current
reports on Form 8-K filed with the SEC.
REPORTING PERIODS FOR STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS
The results we report in our consolidated statements of
operations are based on results of our hotels reported to us by our
hotel managers. Our hotel managers use different reporting periods.
Marriott International, Inc. (Marriott), the manager of the majority of
our properties, uses a fiscal year ending on the Friday closest to
December 31 and reports twelve weeks of operations for the first three
quarters and sixteen or seventeen weeks for the fourth quarter of the
year for its Marriott-managed hotels. In contrast, other managers of
our hotels, such as Starwood and Hyatt, report results on a monthly
basis. Additionally, Host, as a REIT, is required by tax laws to report
results on a calendar year. As a result, we elected to adopt the
reporting periods used by Marriott except that our fiscal year always
ends on December 31 to comply with REIT rules. Our first three quarters
of operations end on the same day as Marriott but our fourth quarter
ends on December 31 and our full year results, as reported in our
consolidated statement of operations, always includes the same number
of days as the calendar year.
Two consequences of the reporting cycle we have adopted are:
(1) quarterly start dates will usually differ between years, except for
the first quarter which always commences on January 1, and (2) our
first and fourth quarters of operations and year-to-date operations may
not include the same number of days as reflected in prior years. For
example, the third quarter of 2011 ended on September 9, and the third
quarter of 2010 ended on September 10, though both quarters reflect
twelve weeks of operations. In contrast, the September 9, 2011
year-to-date operations included 252 days of operations, while the
September 10, 2010 year-to-date operations included 253 days of
operations.
While the reporting calendar we adopted is more closely
aligned with the reporting calendar used by the manager of a majority
of our properties, one final consequence of our calendar is we are
unable to report the month of operations that ends after our fiscal
quarter-end until the following quarter because our hotel managers
using a monthly reporting period do not make mid-month results
available to us. Hence, the month of operation that ends after our
fiscal quarter-end is included in our quarterly results of operations
in the following quarter for those hotel managers (covering
approximately 42% of our hotels). As a result, our quarterly results of
operations include results from hotel managers reporting results on a
monthly basis as follows: first quarter (January, February), second
quarter (March to May), third quarter (June to August) and fourth
quarter (September to December). While this does not affect full-year
results, it does affect the reporting of quarterly results.
REPORTING PERIODS FOR HOTEL OPERATING STATISTICS AND
COMPARABLE HOTEL RESULTS
In contrast to the reporting periods for our consolidated
statement of operations, our hotel operating statistics (i.e., RevPAR,
average daily rate and average occupancy) and our comparable hotel
results are always reported based on the reporting cycle used by
Marriott for our Marriott-managed hotels. This facilitates year-to-year
comparisons, as each reporting period will be comprised of the same
number of days of operations as in the prior year (except in the case
of fourth quarters comprised of seventeen weeks (such as fiscal year
2008) versus sixteen weeks). This means, however, that the reporting
periods we use for hotel operating statistics and our comparable hotels
results will typically differ slightly from the reporting periods used
for our statements of operations for the first and fourth quarters and
the full year. Results from hotel managers reporting on a monthly basis
are included in our operating statistics and comparable hotels results
consistent with their reporting in our consolidated statement of
operations herein:
- Hotel results for the third quarter of 2011 reflect 12
weeks of operations for the period from June 18, 2011 to September 9,
2011 for our Marriott-managed hotels and results from June 1, 2011 to
August 31, 2011 for operations of all other hotels which report results
on a monthly basis.
- Hotel results for the third quarter of 2010 reflect 12
weeks of operations for the period from June 19, 2010 to September 10,
2010 for our Marriott-managed hotels and results from June 1, 2010 to
August 31, 2010 for operations of all other hotels which report results
on a monthly basis.
- Hotel results for year-to-date 2011 reflect 36 weeks of
operations for the period from January 1, 2011 to September 9, 2011 for
our Marriott-managed hotels and results from January 1, 2011 to August
31, 2011 for operations of all other hotels which report results on a
monthly basis.
- Hotel results for year-to-date 2010 reflect 36 weeks of
operations for the period from January 2, 2010 to September 10, 2010
for our Marriott-managed hotels and results from January 1, 2010 to
August 31, 2010 for operations of all other hotels which report results
on a monthly basis.
COMPARABLE HOTEL OPERATING STATISTICS
We present certain operating statistics (i.e., RevPAR, average
daily rate and average occupancy) and operating results (revenues,
expenses, adjusted operating profit and associated margins) for the
periods included in this report on a comparable hotel basis. We define
our comparable hotels as properties (i) that are owned or leased by us
and the operations of which are included in our consolidated results,
whether as continuing operations or discontinued operations for the
entirety of the reporting periods being compared and (ii) that have not
sustained substantial property damage or business interruption, or
undergone large-scale capital projects during the reporting periods
being compared. Of the 121 hotels that we owned on September 9, 2011,
104 have been classified as comparable hotels. The operating results of
the following hotels that we owned or leased as of September 9, 2011
are excluded from comparable hotel results for these periods:
- Hilton Melbourne South Wharf (acquired in April 2011);
- New York Helmsley Hotel (acquired in March
2011);
- Manchester Grand Hyatt San Diego (acquired in March 2011);
- The portfolio of seven hotels in New
Zealand (acquired in February 2011);
- JW Marriott, Rio de Janeiro
(acquired in September 2010);
- W New York, Union Square
(acquired in September 2010);
- Westin Chicago River North (acquired in August 2010);
- Atlanta Marriott Perimeter Center (business interruption
due to significant renovations);
- Chicago Marriott O'Hare (business interruption due to
significant renovations);
- Sheraton Indianapolis Hotel & Suites (business
interruption due to significant renovations); and
- San Diego Marriott Marquis & Marina (business
interruption due to significant renovations).
The operating results of the Le Meridien Piccadilly, which was
transferred to the Euro JV Fund II, one hotel we disposed of during the
third quarter of 2011 and two hotels we disposed of during 2010, as
well as the 53 Courtyard by Marriott properties leased from HPT, are
not included in comparable hotel results for the periods presented
herein. Moreover, because these statistics and operating results are
for our hotel properties, they exclude results for our non-hotel
properties and other real estate investments.
NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
Included in this press release are certain "non-GAAP financial
measures," which are measures of our historical or future financial
performance that are not calculated and presented in accordance with
GAAP, within the meaning of applicable SEC rules. They are as follows:
(i) FFO and FFO per diluted share, (ii) EBITDA, (iii) Adjusted EBITDA
and (iv) Comparable Hotel Operating Results. The following discussion
defines these terms and presents why we believe they are useful
supplemental measures of our performance.
FFO and FFO per Diluted Share
We present FFO and FFO per diluted share as non-GAAP measures
of our performance in addition to our earnings per share (calculated in
accordance with GAAP). We calculate FFO per diluted share for a given
operating period as our FFO (defined as set forth below) for such
period, as adjusted for the effect of dilutive securities, divided by
the number of fully diluted shares outstanding during such period.
NAREIT defines FFO as net income (calculated in accordance with GAAP)
excluding gains (losses) from sales of real estate, the cumulative
effect of changes in accounting principles, real estate-related
depreciation and amortization and adjustments for unconsolidated
partnerships and joint ventures. We present FFO on a per share basis
after making adjustments for the effects of dilutive securities and the
payment of preferred stock dividends, in accordance with NAREIT
guidelines.
We believe that FFO per diluted share is a useful supplemental
measure of our operating performance and that the presentation of FFO
per diluted share, when combined with the primary GAAP presentation of
earnings per share, provides beneficial information to investors. By
excluding the effect of real estate depreciation, amortization and
gains and losses from sales of real estate, all of which are based on
historical cost accounting and which may be of lesser significance in
evaluating current performance, we believe such measures can facilitate
comparisons of operating performance between periods and with other
REITs, even though FFO per diluted share does not represent an amount
that accrues directly to holders of our common stock. Historical cost
accounting for real estate assets implicitly assumes that the value of
real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. As noted by NAREIT
in its April 2002 "White Paper on Funds
From Operations," since real estate values have historically risen or
fallen with market conditions, many industry investors have considered
presentation of operating results for real estate companies that use
historical cost accounting to be insufficient by themselves. For these
reasons, NAREIT adopted the definition of FFO in order to promote an
industry-wide measure of REIT operating performance.
EBITDA
Earnings before Interest Expense, Income Taxes, Depreciation
and Amortization (EBITDA) is a commonly used measure of performance in
many industries. Management believes EBITDA provides useful information
to investors regarding our results of operations because it helps us
and our investors evaluate the ongoing operating performance of our
properties and facilitates comparisons between us and other lodging
REITs, hotel owners who are not REITs and other capital-intensive
companies. Management uses EBITDA to evaluate property-level results
and as one measure in determining the value of acquisitions and
dispositions and, like FFO per diluted share, it is widely used by
management in the annual budget process.
Adjusted EBITDA
Historically, management has adjusted EBITDA when evaluating
our performance because we believe that the exclusion of certain
additional items described below provides useful supplemental
information to investors regarding our ongoing operating performance
and that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA, when combined with the
primary GAAP presentation of net income, is beneficial to an investor's
complete understanding of our operating performance and is a relevant
measure in calculating certain credit ratios. We adjust EBITDA for the
following items, which may occur in any period, and refer to this
measure as Adjusted EBITDA:
- Real Estate Transactions – We exclude the effect of gains
and losses, including the amortization of deferred gains, recorded on
the disposition of assets and property insurance gains in our
consolidated statement of operations because we believe that including
them in Adjusted EBITDA is not consistent with reflecting the ongoing
performance of our remaining assets. In addition, material gains or
losses from the depreciated value of the disposed assets could be less
important to investors given that the depreciated asset often does not
reflect the market value of real estate assets (as noted above for
FFO).
- Equity Investment Adjustments – We exclude the equity in
earnings (losses) of unconsolidated investments in partnerships and
joint ventures as presented in our consolidated statement of operations
because it includes our pro rata portion of depreciation, amortization
and interest expense. We include our pro rata share of the Adjusted
EBITDA of our equity investments as we believe this more accurately
reflects the performance of our investment. The pro rata Adjusted
EBITDA of equity investments is defined as the EBITDA of our equity
investments adjusted for any gains or losses on property transactions
multiplied by our percentage ownership in the partnership or joint
venture.
- Consolidated Partnership Adjustments – We deduct the
non-controlling partners' pro rata share of the Adjusted EBITDA of our
consolidated partnerships as this reflects the non-controlling owners'
interest in the EBITDA of our consolidated partnerships. The pro rata
Adjusted EBITDA of non-controlling partners is defined as the EBITDA of
our consolidated partnerships adjusted for any gains or losses on
property transactions multiplied by the non-controlling partners'
positions in the partnership or joint venture.
- Cumulative Effect of a Change in Accounting Principle –
Infrequently, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB)
promulgates new accounting standards that require the consolidated
statement of operations to reflect the cumulative effect of a change in
accounting principle. We exclude these one-time adjustments because
they do not reflect our actual performance for that period.
- Impairment Losses – We exclude the effect of impairment
losses recorded because we believe that including them in Adjusted
EBITDA is not consistent with reflecting the ongoing performance of our
remaining assets. In addition, we believe that impairment charges are
similar to gains (losses) on dispositions and depreciation expense,
both of which are also excluded from EBITDA.
- Acquisition Costs – Effective January 1, 2009, the
accounting treatment under GAAP for costs associated with completed
property acquisitions changed and these costs are now expensed in the
year incurred as opposed to capitalized as part of the acquisition.
Beginning in 2011, we have excluded the effect of these costs because
we believe it is not reflective of the ongoing performance of our
properties. This is consistent with the EBITDA calculation under the
prior GAAP accounting treatment which expensed these costs over time as
part of depreciation expense, which is excluded from EBITDA.
Limitations on the Use of FFO per Diluted Share, EBITDA and
Adjusted EBITDA
We calculate FFO per diluted share in accordance with
standards established by NAREIT, which may not be comparable to
measures calculated by other companies who do not use the NAREIT
definition of FFO or calculate FFO per diluted share in accordance with
NAREIT guidance. In addition, although FFO per diluted share is a
useful measure when comparing our results to other REITs, it may not be
helpful to investors when comparing us to non-REITs. EBITDA and
Adjusted EBITDA, as presented, may also not be comparable to measures
calculated by other companies. This information should not be
considered as an alternative to net income, operating profit, cash from
operations or any other operating performance measure calculated in
accordance with GAAP. Cash expenditures for various long-term assets
(such as renewal and replacement capital expenditures), interest
expense (for EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA purposes only) and other items
have been and will be incurred and are not reflected in the EBITDA,
Adjusted EBITDA and FFO per diluted share presentations. 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 consolidated
statement 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. Additionally, FFO per diluted
share, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as a measure
of our liquidity or indicative of funds available to fund our cash
needs, including our ability to make cash distributions. In addition,
FFO per diluted share does not measure, and should not be used as a
measure of, amounts that accrue directly to stockholders' benefit.
Comparable Hotel Operating Results
We present certain operating results for our hotels, such as
hotel revenues, expenses, adjusted operating profit (and the related
margin) and food and beverage adjusted profit (and the related margin),
on a comparable hotel, or "same store," basis as supplemental
information for investors. Our comparable hotel results present
operating results for hotels owned during the entirety of the periods
being compared without giving effect to any acquisitions or
dispositions, significant property damage or large scale capital
improvements incurred during these periods. We present these comparable
hotel operating results by eliminating corporate-level costs and
expenses related to our capital structure, as well as depreciation and
amortization. We eliminate corporate-level costs and expenses to arrive
at property-level results because we believe property-level results
provide investors with supplemental information into the ongoing
operating performance of our hotels. We eliminate depreciation and
amortization because, even though depreciation and amortization are
property-level expenses, these non-cash expenses, which are based on
historical cost accounting for real estate assets, implicitly assume
that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time.
As noted earlier, because real estate values have historically risen or
fallen with market conditions, many industry investors have considered
presentation of operating results for real estate companies that use
historical cost accounting to be insufficient by themselves.
As a result of the elimination of corporate-level costs and
expenses and depreciation and amortization, the comparable hotel
operating results we present do not represent our total revenues,
expenses, operating profit or operating profit margin and should not be
used to evaluate our performance as a whole. 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 consolidated
statements of operations include such amounts, all of which should be
considered by investors when evaluating our performance.
We present these hotel operating results on a comparable hotel
basis because we believe that doing so provides investors and
management with useful information for evaluating the period-to-period
performance of our hotels and facilitates comparisons with other hotel
REITs and hotel owners. In particular, these measures assist management
and investors in distinguishing whether increases or decreases in
revenues and/or expenses are due to growth or decline of operations at
comparable hotels (which represent the vast majority of our portfolio)
or from other factors, such as the effect of acquisitions or
dispositions. While management believes that presentation of comparable
hotel results is a "same store" supplemental measure that provides
useful information in evaluating our ongoing performance, this measure
is not used to allocate resources or to assess the operating
performance of each of these hotels, as these decisions are based on
data for individual hotels and are not based on comparable hotel
results. For these reasons, we believe that comparable hotel operating
results, when combined with the presentation of GAAP operating profit,
revenues and expenses, provide useful information to investors and
management.
