Financial and Operating Results
Performance metrics such as Occupancy, Average Daily Rate (“ADR”), Revenue Per Available Room (“RevPAR”), Hotel EBITDA, and Hotel EBITDA Margin are pro forma. The prefix “pro forma” as defined by the Company, denotes operating results which include results for periods prior to its ownership. Pro forma RevPAR and Pro forma Hotel EBITDA Margin are reported on a comparable basis and therefore exclude non-comparable hotels that were not open for operation or closed for renovations and also exclude hotels sold during the period for comparable periods. Explanations of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Hotel EBITDA, FFO, and Adjusted FFO, as well as reconciliations of those measures to net income or loss, if applicable, are included at the end of this release.
 
Pro forma RevPAR for the quarter ended December 31, 2014, increased 6.0% over the comparable period in 2013, driven by a Pro forma ADR increase of 4.6% and a Pro forma Occupancy increase of 1.3%. Among the Company’s top six markets, the best performing markets during the quarter were Houston and Chicago, which experienced RevPAR growth of 8.1% and 7.7%, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2014, Pro forma RevPAR increased 7.2% over the comparable period in 2013, driven by a Pro forma ADR increase of 3.9% and a Pro forma Occupancy increase of 3.1%.

Pro forma Hotel EBITDA Margin for the quarter ended December 31, 2014, increased 152 basis points over the comparable period in 2013 to 34.9%.

Pro forma Consolidated Hotel EBITDA includes the results of non-comparable hotels. For the quarter ended December 31, 2014, Pro forma Consolidated Hotel EBITDA increased $9.9 million to $97.0 million, representing an 11.3% increase over the comparable period in 2013. For the year ended December 31, 2014, Pro forma Consolidated Hotel EBITDA increased $39.6 million to $405.0 million, representing a 10.8% increase over the comparable period in 2013, adjusted for the non-comparable Courtyard Waikiki Beach 2013 ground rent.
 
Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter ended December 31, 2014, increased $13.3 million to $90.3 million, representing a 17.3% increase over the comparable period in 2013.

In May 2014, the Company completed an underwritten public offering of 9,200,000 common shares at a public offering price of $26.45 per share. Net proceeds from the public offering after deducting the underwriting discount and other offering costs were approximately $232.7 million.

2015 Outlook
The Company’s outlook does not include operational results from the 24 dispositions that it announced this week. The outlook also excludes potential future acquisitions and dispositions, which could result in a material change to the outlook. The Company's 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 include results for periods prior to the Company’s ownership and therefore assume the hotels were owned since January 1, 2014. For the full year 2015, the Company anticipates:

 
Current Outlook
Pro forma RevPAR growth (1)
5.0% to 6.75%
Pro forma Hotel EBITDA Margin (1)
36.0% to 37.0%
Pro forma Consolidated Hotel EBITDA
$405.0M to $425.0M
Corporate Cash General and Administrative expenses
$26.0M to $27.0M
(1) Excludes non-comparable hotels. Properties closed for renovations are considered non-comparable and therefore are excluded from periods in which they are closed.

Forward Looking Statements
The following information contains certain statements, other than purely historical information, including estimates, projections, statements relating to the Company’s business plans, objectives and expected operating results, and the assumptions upon which those statements are based, that are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These forward-looking statements generally are identified by the use of the words “believe,” “project,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “plan,” “may,” “will,” “will continue,” “intend,” “should,” “may” or similar expressions. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions, beliefs and expectations, such forward-looking statements are not predictions of future events or guarantees of future performance and the Company’s actual results could differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements. Some factors that might cause such a difference include the following: the current global economic uncertainty, increased direct competition, changes in government regulations or accounting rules, changes in local, national and global real estate conditions, declines in the lodging industry, seasonality of the lodging industry, risks related to natural disasters, such as earthquakes and hurricanes, hostilities, including future terrorist attacks or fear of hostilities that affect travel, the Company’s ability to obtain lines of credit or permanent financing on satisfactory terms, changes in interest rates, access to capital through offerings of the Company’s common and preferred shares of beneficial interest, or debt, the Company’s ability to identify suitable acquisitions, the Company’s ability to close on identified acquisitions and integrate those businesses and inaccuracies of the Company’s accounting estimates. Given these uncertainties, undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. Except as required by law, the Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. The Company cautions investors not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements and urges investors to carefully review the disclosures the Company makes concerning risks and uncertainties in the sections entitled “Risk Factors,” “Forward-Looking Statements,” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in the Company’s Annual Report, as well as risks, uncertainties and other factors discussed in other documents filed by the Company with the SEC.

RLJ Lodging Trust
Non-GAAP and Accounting Commentary
 
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 its 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 its operating performance. FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Hotel EBITDA 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 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, 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 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.
 
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 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. The Company presents EBITDA attributable to common shareholders, which includes OP units, because the OP units

7


are redeemable for common shares of the Company. The Company believes it is meaningful for the investor to understand EBITDA attributable to all common shares and OP units.

Hotel EBITDA
With respect to Hotel EBITDA, the Company believes that excluding the effect of corporate-level expenses and non-cash items provide 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 Hotel EBITDA includes hotel results from prior ownership periods and excludes non-comparable hotels which were not open for operation or were closed for renovations for comparable periods. Pro forma Consolidated Hotel EBITDA includes hotel results from prior ownership periods and includes the results of non-comparable hotels which were not open for operation or were closed for renovations during the comparable periods.
 
Adjustments to FFO and EBITDA
The Company adjusts FFO and EBITDA for certain additional items, such as transaction and pursuit costs, the amortization of share based compensation, and certain other expenses that the Company considers outside the normal course of business. The Company believes that Adjusted FFO and Adjusted EBITDA provide useful supplemental information to investors regarding its ongoing operating performance that, when considered with net income, FFO and EBITDA, is beneficial to an investor’s understanding of its operating performance. The Company adjusts FFO and EBITDA for the following items, as applicable:
Transaction and Pursuit Costs: The Company excludes transaction and pursuit costs expensed during the period because it believes they do not reflect the underlying performance of the Company.
Non-Cash Expenses: The Company excludes the effect of certain non-cash items because it believes they do not reflect the underlying performance of the Company. The Company has excluded the amortization of share based compensation, non-cash gain on the disposal of hotel properties, non-cash gain on the extinguishment of indebtedness, non-cash gain on foreclosure, the accelerated amortization of deferred management and financing fees, and impairment loss.
Other Non-operational Expenses: The Company excludes the effect of certain non-operational expenses because it believes they do not reflect the underlying performance of the Company. The Company has excluded the loss on defeasance, expenses related to the accelerated payoff of mortgage indebtedness, and legal expenses it considered outside the normal course of business.

New Accounting Treatment for Discontinued Operations
The Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Update 2014-08, Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity. Going forward, the Company will only classify dispositions as discontinued operations if they represent a strategic shift in operations (e.g., disposal of a major line of business). The 18 assets sold during the year ended December 31, 2014, do not represent a strategic shift in operations for the Company.

Note:
The information above includes results for periods prior to the Company's ownership which has not been audited and is presented only for comparison purposes. Results reflect 100% of DoubleTree NYC Metropolitan financial results. All results exclude two planned hotel conversions and four non-comparable hotels: Residence Inn Atlanta Midtown/Georgia Tech, Hilton Cabana Miami Beach, Hyatt Atlanta Midtown, and Fairfield Inn & Suites Key West (Q3 and Q4 only). Fairfield Inn & Suites Key West was closed for a comprehensive renovation during Q3 and Q4 2014 and therefore its results during the six months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 are excluded in the table above. Does not include assets sold prior to the fourth quarter of 2014.
