RLJ Lodging Trust Reports Second Quarter 2022 Results

- Acquired a boutique lifestyle hotel in Nashville
- Increased quarterly dividend to $0.05 per common share
- Successfully exited covenant waivers
- Repurchased common shares

Bethesda, MD, August 4, 2022 – RLJ Lodging Trust (the “Company”) (NYSE: RLJ) today reported results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.

Highlights
Pro forma RevPAR of $146.05 for Q2; representing 92% of 2019 levels, improving 36% from Q1
Total revenue of $330.5 million
Net income attributable to common shareholders of $26.7 million
Net income per basic and diluted share attributable to common shareholders of $0.16
Pro forma Hotel EBITDA of $118.6 million
Adjusted EBITDA of $111.0 million
Adjusted FFO per basic and diluted common share and unit of $0.49
Repurchased 4.2 million common shares for $50.0 million with proceeds from asset sales
Increased quarterly cash dividend to $0.05 per common share
Acquired a boutique lifestyle hotel in Nashville in July for $59.0 million
Successfully exited the covenant waiver period under corporate credit facilities
Maintained a strong balance sheet with approximately $1.1 billion of liquidity, including $511.5 million of unrestricted cash

“Our second quarter results significantly outperformed our expectations, led by the performance of our urban markets, which were the major beneficiary of strengthening business travel and greater citywide attendance, that drove outsized growth during the weekdays, in addition to robust leisure demand. The surge of demand in our urban markets drove our results to sequentially improve each month of the quarter, which continued into July,” commented Leslie D. Hale, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Against this improving backdrop, our strong balance sheet allowed us to execute multiple capital allocation initiatives, including advancing our three 2022 conversions, accretively recycling capital into share repurchases, and acquiring a high-quality boutique lifestyle hotel in downtown Nashville. Our accelerating performance allowed us to exit our covenant waivers, and our confidence in the sustainability of our cash flows enabled us to meaningfully increase our dividend.”

The prefix “pro forma” as defined by the Company, denotes operating results which include results for periods prior to its ownership and excludes sold hotels. Pro forma RevPAR and pro forma Hotel EBITDA Margin are reported on a comparable basis and therefore exclude any hotels sold during the period and non-comparable hotels that were not open for operation or were closed for renovation for comparable periods. 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.

Operational Update
Lodging fundamentals continued to accelerate throughout the second quarter, benefiting from summer travel, ramping corporate and group demand, and stronger citywide attendance. These positive trends led to a significant step up in demand within urban markets, which has continued into July. RLJ’s Urban hotel RevPAR achieved the strongest growth during the second quarter, achieving 95% of 2019 levels in June. Improving corporate demand also drove positive momentum in weekday results which strengthened throughout the second quarter. These improving trends led the Company to achieve pro forma RevPAR of $146.05 and pro forma Hotel EBITDA of $118.6 million during the second quarter, which represented approximately 92% and 91% of 2019 levels, respectively, with each achieving new highs since the beginning of the pandemic. This positive momentum from the second quarter has continued into the third quarter.

Acquisition
In July, the Company acquired the fee simple interest in a 124-room boutique lifestyle hotel in Nashville for a purchase price of $59.0 million, or approximately $476,000 per key. The hotel is expected to generate an estimated 8.0% to 8.5% stabilized NOI yield and an accretive stabilized RevPAR nearly double that of the rest of the Company’s portfolio. The Company funded the acquisition with existing cash on its balance sheet.

RLJ Lodging Trust
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.
 
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 are redeemable 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) provision for income taxes, including income taxes applicable to sales of assets; and (3) depreciation and amortization. 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) from its operating results. In addition, EBITDA is used as one measure in determining the value of hotel acquisitions and dispositions.

https://cdn.kscope.io/81b02932dd76a2b09556d2bc74db9655-image0a35a.jpg
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 partnerships and 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 either outside the normal course of operations or extraordinary. 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, is beneficial to an investor’s understanding of its 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 taxes, and non-cash 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.
 
Pro forma Consolidated Hotel EBITDA includes prior ownership information provided by the sellers of the hotels for periods prior to our acquisition of the hotels, which has not been audited and excludes results from sold hotels as applicable. Pro forma Hotel EBITDA and pro forma Hotel EBITDA Margin exclude the results of non-comparable hotels that were under renovation or not open for the entirety of the comparable periods. The following is a summary of pro forma hotel adjustments:
