Bethesda, MD, November 7, 2012 — RLJ Lodging Trust (the “Company”) (NYSE: RLJ) today reported results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012.

 

Third Quarter Highlights

·                  Pro forma RevPAR increased 7.9%, ADR increased 6.4% and occupancy increased 1.4%

·                  Pro forma Hotel EBITDA Margin increased 97 basis points to 34.5%

·                  Excluding the Company’s New York assets, RevPAR would have increased 9.5% and Pro forma Hotel EBITDA Margin would have increased 178 basis points

·                  Pro forma Consolidated Hotel EBITDA increased 10.9% to $77.4 million

·                  Adjusted FFO increased 28.4% to $50.6 million

·                  Declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.165 per share, or $0.66 on an annualized basis

 

“Our strong results are reflective of the quality of our assets and the market diversification in our portfolio,” commented Thomas J. Baltimore, Jr., President and Chief Executive Officer.  “We expect that our active asset management and the tailwind created by our extensive two-year capital plan that is nearly complete will continue to drive robust growth.”

 

Financial and Operating Results

This press release presents 2011 data that combines the financial and operating results of the Company’s predecessor entities prior to the consummation of the Company’s initial public offering (“IPO”) on May 16, 2011, and the results of the Company post-IPO. Pro forma RevPAR, Pro forma Hotel EBITDA, and Pro forma Hotel EBITDA Margin exclude non-comparable hotels that were not open for operation or closed for renovations for comparable periods.  The prefix “pro forma,” as defined by the Company, denotes operating results which include results for periods prior to its ownership.  An explanation of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Hotel EBITDA, FFO, and Adjusted FFO, as well as reconciliations of those measures to net income or loss, if applicable, is included at the end of this release.

Pro forma RevPAR for the three months ended September 30, 2012, increased 7.9% over the comparable period in 2011, driven by an ADR increase of 6.4% and an occupancy increase of 1.4%.  Among the Company’s top six markets, the best performers in the quarter were Chicago and Washington D.C., which experienced RevPAR growth of 10.2% and 9.8%, respectively.  During the quarter, the timing of the Jewish holidays and a lower delegate turnout at the United Nations General Assembly negatively impacted the New York lodging market.  Excluding the Company’s five assets in New York, RevPAR growth would have increased 9.5%.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, Pro forma RevPAR increased 6.4% over the comparable period in 2011, driven by an ADR increase of 5.5% and an occupancy increase of 0.8%.

 

Pro forma Hotel EBITDA for the three months ended September 30, 2012, increased $7.7 million to $77.6 million, representing an 11.1% increase over the comparable period in 2011.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, Pro forma Hotel EBITDA increased $16.6 million to $216.2 million, representing an 8.3% increase over the comparable period in 2011.

 

Pro forma Hotel EBITDA Margin for the three months ended September 30, 2012, increased 97 basis points over the comparable period in 2011 to 34.5%.  Excluding the Company’s five assets in New York, margin growth would have increased 178 basis points.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, Pro forma Hotel EBITDA Margin increased 50 basis points over the comparable period in 2011 to 33.6%.

 

Pro forma Consolidated Hotel EBITDA includes the results of non-comparable hotels.  For the three months ended September 30, 2012, Pro forma Consolidated Hotel EBITDA increased $7.6 million to $77.4 million, representing a 10.9% increase over the comparable period in 2011.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, Pro forma Consolidated Hotel EBITDA increased to $217.7 million.

 

Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended September 30, 2012, increased $9.9 million to $71.7 million, representing a 15.9% increase over the comparable period in 2011.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, Adjusted EBITDA increased $19.6 million to $197.0 million, representing an 11.1% increase over the comparable period in 2011.

 

Adjusted FFO for the three months ended September 30, 2012, increased $11.2 million to $50.6 million, representing a 28.4% increase over the comparable period in 2011.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, Adjusted FFO increased $30.1 million to $134.9 million, representing a 28.7% increase over the comparable period in 2011.  Adjusted FFO per diluted share and unit for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, was $0.48 and $1.27, respectively, based on the Company’s diluted weighted-average shares and units outstanding of 106.4 million and 106.3 million for each period, respectively.

Non-recurring expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2012, consisted of $0.9 million related to an impairment charge and $0.7 million of interest and penalties incurred in connection with the Springhill Suites Southfield, Michigan mortgage loan.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, non-recurring expenses consisted of $0.9 million related to an impairment charge, $0.7 million of interest and penalties incurred in connection with the Springhill Suites Southfield, Michigan mortgage loan and $0.6 million related to a non-cash loss on disposal of furniture, fixtures, and equipment associated with assets under renovation.  These expenses are included in net income, EBITDA and FFO, but have been excluded from Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted FFO, as applicable.

 

Net income attributable to common shareholders for the three months ended September 30, 2012, was $15.2 million, compared to $31.3 million in the comparable period in 2011.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, net income attributable to common shareholders was $27.6 million, compared to $12.6 million for the comparable period in 2011.  The three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, include $23.5 million of gain associated with the deed in lieu transfer of the New York LaGuardia Airport Marriott that occurred in the third quarter of 2011.

 

Net cash flow from operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, totaled $123.7 million compared to $90.6 million for the comparable period in 2011.

 

Capital Expenditures

The Company’s 2012 capital plan to upgrade and/or reposition 45 hotels for approximately $95.0 million is entering its final phase.

 

During the third quarter, approximately $2.3 million of additional upgrades were initiated at three hotels.  Year to date, the Company has initiated approximately $65 million of upgrades across 25 hotels. Once the remaining 20 assets are initiated in the fourth quarter, the Company’s comprehensive two-year capital program will be substantially complete.

 

Balance Sheet and Capital Structure

As of September 30, 2012, the Company had $192.1 million of unrestricted cash on its balance sheet and $215.0 million available on its unsecured credit facility.  The Company had $1.4 billion of outstanding debt, including $85.0 million outstanding on its unsecured credit facility.  The Company’s ratio of net debt to Adjusted EBITDA for the trailing twelve month period was 4.6 times.

 

Dividends

The Company’s Board of Trustees declared a cash dividend of $0.165 per common share of beneficial interest.  The dividend was paid on October 15, 2012, to shareholders of record as of September 28, 2012.

 

2012 Outlook

The Company is reaffirming its previously issued guidance.  The Company’s outlook excludes potential future acquisitions and dispositions, which could result in a material change to the Company’s outlook.

The Company’s 2012 outlook is also based on a number of other assumptions, many of which are outside the Company’s control and all of which are subject to change.

 

Pro forma operating statistics assume the Company owned all 144 of its hotels since January 1, 2011.  Pro forma RevPAR growth and Pro forma Hotel EBITDA Margin exclude non-comparable hotels.  Pro forma Consolidated Hotel EBITDA guidance includes approximately $3.5 million of prior ownership Hotel EBITDA from three acquisitions purchased in the second quarter that will not be included in the Company’s corporate Adjusted EBITDA or Adjusted FFO.  For the full year 2012, the Company’s outlook is:

 

 

 

Current Outlook

 

Pro forma RevPAR growth

 

6.0% to 8.0%

 

Pro forma Hotel EBITDA Margin

 

33.5% to 34.5%

 

Pro forma Consolidated Hotel EBITDA

 

$280.0 to $300.0 million

Note:

The schedule above includes Pro forma RevPAR and Pro forma Hotel EBITDA operating statistics for 143 of the Company’s hotels as if they had been owned since January 1, 2011. The Garden District Hotel remains closed for renovations and therefore has been excluded from 2012 and 2011. Pro forma results reflect 100% of DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Metropolitan New York City financial results, which have not been adjusted to reflect the 5% noncontrolling interest in the joint venture.

 

The information above has not been audited and is presented only for comparison purposes.

Note:

The schedule above includes Pro forma RevPAR and Pro forma Hotel EBITDA operating statistics for 143 of the Company’s hotels as if they had been owned since January 1, 2011.  Due to conversion upgrades at Fairfield Inn & Suites Washington, DC/Downtown and Courtyard by Marriott Charleston Historic District, these two hotels were excluded for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011.  The Garden District Hotel remains closed for renovations and therefore has been excluded from 2012 and 2011. Pro forma results reflect 100% of DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Metropolitan New York City financial results, which have not been adjusted to reflect the 5% noncontrolling interest in the joint venture.

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

 

The Company considers the following non-GAAP financial measures useful to investors as key supplemental measures of our performance: (1) FFO, (2) Adjusted FFO, (3) EBITDA, (4) Adjusted EBITDA, and (5) 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 that do not define such terms exactly as the Company.

 

Funds From Operations (“FFO”)

 

The Company calculates 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, 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.

 

The Company believes that the presentation of FFO provides useful information to investors regarding the Company’s 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 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 the Company’s OP units, because the Company’s OP units are redeemable for common shares.  The Company believes it is meaningful for the investor to understand FFO attributable to all common shares and OP units.

 

Adjusted FFO

 

The Company further adjusts 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, legal expenses that the Company considers outside the normal course of business, loan default penalties and fees and other nonrecurring expenses that were the result of the IPO and related formation transactions. The Company believes 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. The Company considers EBITDA useful to an investor in evaluating and facilitating comparisons of the Company’s operating performance between periods and between REITs by removing the impact of the Company’s capital structure (primarily interest expense) and asset base (primarily depreciation and amortization) from the Company’s operating results.  In addition, EBITDA is used as one measure in determining the value of hotel acquisitions and dispositions. The Company presents EBITDA attributable to common shareholders, which includes the Company’s OP units, because the Company’s OP units are redeemable for common shares of beneficial interest.  The Company believes it is meaningful for the investor to understand EBITDA attributable to all common shares of beneficial interest and OP units.

 

Adjusted EBITDA

 

The Company further adjusts EBITDA for certain additional items such as hotel transaction and pursuit costs, the amortization of share based compensation, disposal of assets, legal expenses that the Company considers outside the normal course of business and other nonrecurring expenses that were the result of the IPO and related formation transactions. The Company believes 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. The Company believes property-level results provide investors with supplemental information on the ongoing operational performance of the Company’s hotels and effectiveness of the third-party management companies operating the Company’s business on a property-level basis.

 

Pro forma Hotel EBITDA includes hotel results from prior ownership periods and excludes non-comparable hotels which were not open for operation or closed for renovations for comparable periods.  Pro forma Consolidated Hotel EBITDA includes hotel results from prior ownership periods and includes non-comparable hotels which were not open for operation or closed for renovations for comparable periods.
