RLJ Lodging Trust Reports First Quarter 2024 Results

May 1, 2024

Q1 RevPAR increased 1.0% above 2023

Adjusted FFO per diluted share of $0.33

Expanded conversion pipeline by acquiring Wyndham Boston Beacon Hill

BETHESDA, Md.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 1, 2024-- RLJ Lodging Trust (the “Company”) (NYSE: RLJ) today reported results for the three months ended March 31, 2024.

Highlights

  • Portfolio Comparable RevPAR of $137.88; an increase of 1.0% from last year
  • Total Revenue of $324.4 million; an increase of 3.1% from last year
  • Net income of $4.7 million
  • Comparable Hotel EBITDA of $88.9 million
  • Adjusted EBITDA of $79.6 million
  • Adjusted FFO per diluted common share and unit of $0.33
  • Addressed all 2024 debt maturities

“Our first quarter RevPAR growth came in line with our expectations given the holiday shift and we once again exceeded the industry while gaining market share,” commented Leslie D. Hale, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Our outperformance relative to the industry continues to underscore the strong positioning of our urban-centric portfolio which is benefiting from steady improvement in business transient demand and increasing international travel, in addition to solid group and healthy urban leisure. Our growth is being further aided by the strong returns we are generating from our conversions and ROI initiatives which bolster our confidence in our next wave of conversions that are on track to be completed this year. We expect our momentum to be driven by positive trends that are disproportionately benefiting urban markets, the continuing ramp up of our completed conversions and our strong balance sheet that provides significant optionality, all of which demonstrate our multiple channels of growth.”

The prefix “comparable” as defined by the Company, denotes operating results which include results for periods prior to its ownership and excludes sold hotels. Explanations of EBITDA, EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDA, Hotel EBITDA, Hotel EBITDA Margin, FFO, and Adjusted FFO, as well as reconciliations of those measures to net income or loss, if applicable, are included within this release.

Acquisition

During the first quarter of 2024, the Company completed the purchase of the 304-room Wyndham Boston Beacon Hill for a purchase price of approximately $125 million, which was previously subject to a ground lease that expired in 2028. The Company funded the acquisition with existing cash on hand.

Balance Sheet

As of March 31, 2024, the Company had approximately $1.0 billion of total liquidity, comprising approximately $350.2 million of unrestricted cash and $600.0 million available under its revolving credit facility, and $2.2 billion of debt outstanding.

In April 2024, the Company drew $200.0 million under its $600 million revolving credit facility and utilized the proceeds to repay $200.0 million of maturing mortgage debt.

In April 2024, the Company exercised its options to extend $181.0 million of mortgage loans to April 2025.

Dividends

The Company’s Board of Trustees declared a first quarter cash dividend of $0.10 per common share of beneficial interest of the Company. The dividend was paid on April 15, 2024 to shareholders of record as of March 29, 2024.

The Company's Board of Trustees declared a first quarter cash dividend of $0.4875 on the Company’s Series A Preferred Shares. The dividend was paid on April 30, 2024 to shareholders of record as of March 29, 2024.

Outlook

The company is reaffirming its annual outlook for all hotels owned as of May 1, 2024:

 

 

FY 2024

Comparable RevPAR Growth

 

2.5% to 5.5%

Comparable Hotel EBITDA

 

$395.0M to $425.0M

Adjusted EBITDA

 

$360.0M to $390.0M

Adjusted FFO per diluted share

 

$1.55 to $1.75

Additionally, the Company's full year 2024 outlook includes:

  • Net interest expense of $91.0 million to $93.0 million.
  • Capital expenditures related to renovations in the range of $100.0 million to $120.0 million.
  • Diluted weighted average common shares and units of 155.5 million.
  • Cash G&A of $35.0 million to $36.0 million.

The Company expects second quarter RevPAR growth to be below the mid-point of the full-year range, due to a soft April.

No future acquisitions, dispositions, financings, or share repurchases are incorporated into the Company's outlook and could result in a material change to the Company's outlook.

Non-GAAP and Accounting Commentary

Non-Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“Non-GAAP”) Financial Measures

The Company considers the following non-GAAP financial measures useful to investors as key supplemental measures of its performance: (1) FFO, (2) Adjusted FFO, (3) EBITDA, (4) EBITDAre, (5) Adjusted EBITDA, (6) Hotel EBITDA, and (7) Hotel EBITDA Margin. These Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered along with, but not as alternatives to, net income or loss as a measure of its operating performance. FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA, EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDA, Hotel EBITDA, and Hotel EBITDA Margin, as calculated by the Company, may not be comparable to other companies that do not define such terms exactly as the Company defines such terms.

Funds From Operations (“FFO”)

The Company calculates Funds from Operations (“FFO”) in accordance with standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT, which defines FFO as net income or loss (calculated in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains or losses from sales of real estate, impairment, the cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles, plus depreciation and amortization, and adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Historical cost accounting for real estate assets implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values have instead historically risen or fallen with market conditions, most real estate industry investors consider FFO to be helpful in evaluating a real estate company’s operations. The Company believes that the presentation of FFO provides useful information to investors regarding the Company’s operating performance and can facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods and between real estate investment trusts (“REITs”), even though FFO does not represent an amount that accrues directly to common shareholders.

The Company’s calculation of FFO may not be comparable to measures calculated by other companies who do not use the NAREIT definition of FFO or do not calculate FFO per diluted share in accordance with NAREIT guidance. Additionally, FFO may not be helpful when comparing the Company to non-REITs. The Company presents FFO attributable to common shareholders, which includes unitholders of limited partnership interest (“OP units”) in RLJ Lodging Trust, L.P., the Company’s operating partnership, because the OP units may be redeemed for common shares of the Company. The Company believes it is meaningful for the investor to understand FFO attributable to all common shares and OP units.

EBITDA and EBITDAre

Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization (“EBITDA”) is defined as net income or loss excluding: (1) interest expense; (2) income tax expense; and (3) depreciation and amortization expense. The Company considers EBITDA useful to an investor in evaluating and facilitating comparisons of its operating performance between periods and between REITs by removing the impact of its capital structure (primarily interest expense) and asset base (primarily depreciation and amortization expense) from its operating results. In addition, EBITDA is used as one measure in determining the value of hotel acquisitions and dispositions.

In addition to EBITDA, the Company presents EBITDAre in accordance with NAREIT guidelines, which defines EBITDAre as net income or loss (calculated in accordance with GAAP) excluding interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization expense, gains or losses from sales of real estate, impairment, and adjustments for unconsolidated joint ventures. The Company believes that the presentation of EBITDAre provides useful information to investors regarding the Company's operating performance and can facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods and between REITs.

Adjustments to FFO and EBITDA

The Company adjusts FFO, EBITDA, and EBITDAre for certain items that the Company considers outside the normal course of operations. The Company believes that Adjusted FFO, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDAre provide useful supplemental information to investors regarding its ongoing operating performance that, when considered with net income or loss, FFO, EBITDA, and EBITDAre, are beneficial to an investor’s understanding of the Company's operating performance. The Company adjusts FFO, EBITDA, and EBITDAre for the following items:

  • Transaction Costs: The Company excludes transaction costs expensed during the period
  • Pre-Opening Costs: The Company excludes certain costs related to pre-opening of hotels
  • Non-Cash Expenses: The Company excludes the effect of certain non-cash items such as the amortization of share-based compensation, non-cash income tax expense or benefit, and non-cash interest expense related to discontinued interest rate hedges
  • Other Non-Operational Expenses: The Company excludes the effect of certain non-operational expenses representing income and expenses outside the normal course of operations

Hotel EBITDA and Hotel EBITDA Margin

With respect to Consolidated Hotel EBITDA, the Company believes that excluding the effect of corporate-level expenses and certain non-cash items provides a more complete understanding of the operating results over which individual hotels and operators have direct control. The Company believes property-level results provide investors with supplemental information about the ongoing operational performance of the Company’s hotels and the effectiveness of third-party management companies.

Comparable Hotel EBITDA and Comparable Hotel EBITDA margin include prior ownership information provided by the sellers of the hotels for periods prior to our acquisition of the hotels and excludes results from sold hotels as applicable.

Notes:

  1. The floating interest rate is hedged, or partially hedged, with an interest rate swap.
  2. Interest rates as of March 31, 2024, inclusive of the impact of interest rate hedges.
  3. Excludes the impact of fair value adjustments and deferred financing costs.
  4. As of March 31, 2024, there was $600.0 million of borrowing capacity on the Revolver, which is charged an unused commitment fee of 0.25% annually. In April 2024, the Company borrowed $200.0 million under the Revolver and utilized the proceeds to repay a $200.0 million maturing mortgage loan, reducing the remaining capacity on the Revolver to $400.0 million.
  5. This mortgage loan provides two one-year extension options, subject to certain conditions. In April 2024, the Company satisfied the conditions required to exercise the first one-year extension option on this mortgage loan to extend the maturity to April 2025, with a second one-year extension option still remaining.
