Bethesda, MD, November 9, 2011 — RLJ Lodging Trust (the “Company”) (NYSE: RLJ) today reported results for the quarter ended September 30, 2011.

 

This press release presents data combining the financial and operating results of the Company’s predecessor entity prior to the consummation of the Company’s initial public offering (“IPO”) and the results of the Company post-IPO.  The Company completed its IPO and related formation transactions on May 16, 2011.

 

Third Quarter Highlights

 

·                  Pro forma RevPAR increased 8.0%, ADR increased 4.5% and occupancy increased 3.3%

“We are very pleased by the overall performance of our portfolio as we continue to demonstrate the resilience of our portfolio and the effectiveness of our asset management team,” commented Thomas J. Baltimore, Jr., President and Chief Executive Officer.  “We posted solid results once again and are performing in-line with the expectations we have communicated, despite the uncertain economic times.  As we continue to execute on our strategic plan and as we begin to realize the benefits of our recent renovations and conversions, we are confident in our ongoing growth.”

 

Financial and Operating Results

 

Pro forma RevPAR, Hotel EBITDA, and Hotel EBITDA margins include hotel results from prior ownership periods and exclude hotels not open for operation or closed for renovations for comparable periods.  Actual results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, reflect New York LaGuardia Airport Marriott in discontinued operations.   An explanation of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, FFO, Adjusted FFO and Hotel EBITDA, as well as reconciliations of those measures to net income or loss, if applicable, is included at the end of this release.

Net cash flow provided by operating activities totaled $90.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared to $47.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

 

Capital Expenditures

 

In 2011, the Company authorized renovation projects totaling $115.0 million.  The 2011 capital improvement program is largely focused on upgrading and/or repositioning 24 hotels acquired in 2010 and 2011, including seven brand conversions. The balance of the renovations will include brand related upgrades at other select hotels.

 

During the third quarter, the Company initiated approximately $19.0 million of renovation projects, bringing the amount of released capital to a total of approximately $72.0 million year-to-date.  The Company expects to release the remaining capital in the fourth quarter.

 

Balance Sheet and Capital Structure

 

As of September 30, 2011, the Company had $368.5 million of cash on its balance sheet.  The outstanding debt balance as of September 30, 2011, was approximately $1.3 billion.  The Company’s ratio of net debt to trailing twelve month (“TTM”) Adjusted EBITDA was 4.3 times.

 

There was no outstanding balance on the Company’s $300.0 million unsecured credit facility as of September 30, 2011.

 

Dividends

 

The Company’s Board of Trustees declared a cash dividend of $0.15 per common share of beneficial interest, payable on October 14, 2011, to shareholders of record, as of September 30, 2011.

 

Subsequent Events

 

On October 21, 2011, the Company refinanced a $140.0 million term loan, which was scheduled to mature in November 2011.  In its place, the Company structured five independent first mortgage loans totaling $142.0 million. The base term for each mortgage is interest only and bears a floating rate of LIBOR plus 360 basis points.  The term of the new loans is three years with two, one-year extension options.

 

On October 27, 2011, the Company acquired the 176-room Courtyard by Marriott Charleston Historic District for a purchase price of $42.0 million from Noble Investment Group.  The purchase price represents a cost of approximately $239,000 per key, which is a substantial discount to replacement cost, and an 8.3% forward 12 month capitalization rate.  The Company purchased this asset with cash available on its balance sheet.

 

On November 4, 2011, the Company’s Board of Trustees authorized a share repurchase program to acquire up to $100.0 million of the Company’s common shares.

2011 Outlook

 

The Company is reaffirming its previously issued guidance.  These estimates reflect management’s view of current market conditions. The Company’s outlook excludes the New York LaGuardia Airport Marriott and the Company’s recent acquisition of the Courtyard by Marriott Charleston Historic District.  It also excludes potential future acquisitions and dispositions, which could result in a change in the Company’s outlook.  For the full year 2011, the Company anticipates:

 

·                  Pro forma RevPAR growth between 7.0% and 9.0%

·                  Pro forma Consolidated Hotel EBITDA between $249.0 million and $261.0 million

The schedule above includes pro forma operating statistics for the Company’s 139 hotels as if they had been owned since January 1, 2010.  Due to conversion upgrades at Fairfield Inn & Suites Washington, DC/Downtown and Hilton New York Fashion District, these two hotels were excluded for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, but are included from April through September 30,2011, and 2010.  The Garden District remains closed for renovations and therefore has been excluded from 2011 and 2010.  New York LaGuardia Airport Marriott has been excluded for 2011 and 2010 since the hotel’s financial results are now classified as discontinued operations. Pro forma results reflect 100% of Doubletree Metropolitan financial results, results have not been adjusted to reflect the 5% noncontrolling ownership.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

We consider the following non-GAAP financial measures useful to investors as key supplemental measures of our performance: FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Hotel EBITDA . These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered along with, but not as alternatives to, net income or loss as a measure of our operating performance. FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Hotel EBITDA as calculated by us, may not be comparable to other companies.

 

Funds From Operations (“FFO”)

 

We calculate FFO in accordance with standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”), which defines FFO as net income or loss (calculated in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains or losses from sales of real estate, items classified by GAAP as extraordinary, 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 instead have 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. We believe that the presentation of FFO provides useful information to investors regarding our operating performance by excluding the effect of depreciation and amortization, gains or losses from sales for real estate, extraordinary items and the portion of items related to unconsolidated entities, all of which are based on historical cost accounting, and that FFO can facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods and between REITs, even though FFO does not represent an amount that accrues directly to common shareholders. Our 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 us to non-REITs. We present FFO attributable to common shareholders, which includes our OP units, because our OP units are redeemable for common shares of beneficial interest.  We believe it is meaningful for the investor to understand FFO attributable to all common shares of beneficial interest and OP units.

 

Adjusted FFO

 

We further adjust FFO for certain additional items that are not in NAREIT’s definition of FFO, such as hotel transaction and pursuit costs, the amortization of share based compensation and other nonrecurring expenses that were the result of the IPO and related formation transactions. We believe that Adjusted FFO provides investors with another financial measure that may facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods and between REITs.

 

Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”)

 

EBITDA is defined as net income or loss excluding: (1) interest expense; (2) provision for income taxes, including income taxes applicable to sale of assets; and (3) depreciation and amortization. We consider EBITDA useful to an investor in evaluating and facilitating comparisons of our operating performance between periods and between REITs by removing the impact of our capital structure (primarily interest expense) and asset base (primarily depreciation

 

12



 

and amortization) from our operating results.  In addition, EBITDA is used as one measure in determining the value of hotel acquisitions and dispositions. We present EBITDA attributable to common shareholders, which includes our OP units, because our OP units are redeemable for common shares of beneficial interest.  We believe it is meaningful for the investor to understand EBITDA attributable to all common shares of beneficial interest and OP units.

 

Adjusted EBITDA

 

We further adjust EBITDA for certain additional items such as discontinued operations, hotel transaction and pursuit costs, the amortization of share based compensation and other nonrecurring expenses that were the result of the IPO and related formation transactions. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA provides investors with another financial measure that can facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods and between REITs.

 

Hotel EBITDA

 

With respect to Hotel EBITDA, the Company believes that excluding the effect of corporate-level expenses, non-cash items, and the portion of these items related to unconsolidated entities, provides a more complete understanding of the operating results over which individual hotels and operators have direct control. We believe property-level results provide investors with supplemental information on the ongoing operational performance of our hotels and effectiveness of the third-party management companies operating our business on a property-level basis.
