“We’re very pleased with the performance of our portfolio during the third quarter, despite economic and political headwinds, as we continued to outperform the hotel industry,” said Jon E. Bortz, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Pebblebrook Hotel Trust. “Our properties located on the west coast, primarily in San Francisco, Seattle and Portland, led the portfolio’s performance. The hotel industry continued to generate healthy RevPAR growth in the quarter, as demand outpaced limited new supply, leading to increased pricing power and higher rates for our portfolio and the lodging industry.”

Third Quarter Highlights

  • Same-Property RevPAR: Same-Property revenue per available room (“Same-Property RevPAR”) in the third quarter of 2013 increased 6.2 percent over the same period of 2012 to $202.10. Same-Property average daily rate (“Same-Property ADR”) grew 6.3 percent from the third quarter of 2012 to $232.85. Same-Property Occupancy declined 0.1 percent to 86.8 percent.
  • Same-Property EBITDA: The Company’s hotels generated $47.3 million of Same-Property EBITDA for the quarter ended September 30, 2013, climbing 5.4 percent from the same period of 2012. Same-Property Revenues increased 5.0 percent, while Same-Property Expenses rose 4.8 percent. As a result, Same-Property EBITDA Margin grew to 30.9 percent for the quarter ended September 30, 2013, representing an improvement of 11 basis points as compared to the same period last year.
  • Adjusted EBITDA: The Company’s Adjusted EBITDA increased to $44.4 million from $35.4 million in the prior year period, a gain of $9.0 million, or 25.5 percent.
  • Adjusted FFO: The Company’s Adjusted FFO climbed to $28.3 million from $22.0 million in the prior year period, an increase of 28.6 percent.
  • Dividends: On September 13, 2013, the Company declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.16 per share on its common shares, a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.4921875 per share on its 7.875 percent Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares, a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.50 per share on its 8.0 percent Series B Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares and a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.40625 per share on its 6.50 percent Series C Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares.

“We were able to grow Same-Property RevPAR by 6.2 percent in the quarter despite disruptions caused by the on-going comprehensive renovation of Affinia 50, which is nearing completion. With very strong occupancy of 86.8 percent, occupancy was roughly flat in the quarter, and ADR gains made up all of our RevPAR growth,” added Mr. Bortz. “We’re excited about the continued progress we’re making in improving operating performance since acquiring our hotels, and we look forward to the future positive impact our array of best practice programs will have on further increasing the margins in our portfolio.”

Capital Reinvestment

During the third quarter, the Company invested $8.9 million in capital improvements in its portfolio.

In January 2013, the Company, along with its joint venture partner, commenced an $18.0 to $20.0 million comprehensive renovation, reconfiguration and expansion of the Affinia 50, which includes completely renovating its guest rooms, corridors, lobby, public areas and exterior. The reconfiguration of the hotel will increase the number of guest rooms by almost 20 percent, from 210 to 251. The project continues to be on budget and is expected to be substantially complete in November. The Company expects to fund its 49 percent pro rata share of the remaining total project costs with available cash.

On September 18, 2013, the Company up-branded its 310-room Sheraton Delfina Santa Monica to the upper upscale Le Méridien brand. In conjunction with the re-branding and repositioning, the Company expects to incur $0.5 million of transition costs and invest an additional $2.0 million for capital improvements in the hotel. Viceroy Hotels and Resorts continues to manage the property.

In addition to its capital reinvestment programs, Pebblebrook remains committed to implementing a comprehensive array of asset management best practices, initiatives and operating efficiencies throughout its portfolio to boost hotel revenues and improve operating efficiencies in a continuous effort to drive strong margin growth. Since its first hotel acquisition in 2010, the Company has identified almost $17.0 million of annualized best practices and asset management opportunities throughout its portfolio that it has either implemented or is in the process of implementing.

Acquisitions

On August 8, 2013, the Company acquired the Redbury Hotel for $34.0 million. The 57-suite, luxury full-service hotel is located in the heart of Hollywood, California. The property continues to be managed by sbe Hotel Group.

On August 28, 2013, the Company acquired the Hotel Modera for $47.5 million. The 174-room urban, boutique, upper upscale full-service hotel is located in downtown Portland, Oregon. The property is now managed by OLS Hotels and Resorts.

“We’re very enthusiastic about the $194.0 million of high-quality acquisitions this year in our west coast target markets of San Diego, Los Angeles and Portland,” said Mr. Bortz. “We believe these properties offer great opportunities for outsized RevPAR growth, margin expansion and value creation through the implementation of our asset management and best practice initiatives.”

Since its initial public offering in December 2009, the Company has acquired 28 properties totaling $2.2 billion of invested capital, including its joint venture with Denihan Hospitality Group, which owns six upper upscale hotels (the “Manhattan Collection”) in New York, New York.

Year-to-Date Highlights

  • Same-Property RevPAR, ADR and Occupancy: Same-Property RevPAR for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 increased 6.9 percent over the same period of 2012 to $186.21. Year-to-date, Same-Property ADR grew 4.7 percent to $221.39 from the comparable period of 2012, while year-to-date Same-Property Occupancy climbed 2.0 percent to 84.1 percent.
  • Same-Property Hotel EBITDA: The Company’s hotels generated $119.1 million of Same-Property Hotel EBITDA for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, an improvement of 8.6 percent compared with the same period of 2012. Same-Property Hotel Revenues grew 5.5 percent, while Same-Property Hotel Expenses rose 4.3 percent. As a result, Same-Property Hotel EBITDA Margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 improved 80 basis points to 28.1 percent as compared to the same period last year.
  • Adjusted EBITDA: The Company’s Adjusted EBITDA increased 32.8 percent, or $27.0 million, to $109.3 million from $82.3 million in the prior year period.

The Company’s total combined consolidated and unconsolidated weighted-average interest rate on its debt is 4.2 percent. The Company had $100.0 million outstanding in the form of an unsecured term loan and no outstanding balance on its $200.0 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility.

2013 Outlook

This outlook, which assumes similar ongoing economic growth, positive business travel trends and other significant assumptions, is as follows:

To supplement the Company’s consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), this press release includes certain non-GAAP financial measures as defined under Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Rules.

These measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative to, measures prepared in accordance with GAAP and may be different from similarly titled non-GAAP measures used by other companies. In addition, these non-GAAP measures are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. Non-GAAP measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with the Company’s results of operations determined in accordance with GAAP.

Funds from Operations - Funds from operations (“FFO”) represents net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), plus real estate-related depreciation and amortization and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships. The Company considers FFO a useful measure of performance for an equity REIT because it facilitates an understanding of the operating performance of its properties without giving effect to real estate depreciation and amortization, which assume that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, the Company believes that FFO provides a meaningful indication of its performance. The Company also considers FFO an appropriate performance measure given its wide use by investors and analysts. The Company computes FFO in accordance with standards established by the Board of Governors of NAREIT in its March 1995 White Paper (as amended in November 1999 and April 2002), which may differ from the methodology for calculating FFO utilized by other equity REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to that of other REITs. Further, FFO does not represent amounts available for management’s discretionary use because of needed capital replacement or expansion, debt service obligations or other commitments and uncertainties, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund the Company’s cash needs, including its ability to make distributions. The Company presents FFO per diluted share calculations that are based on the outstanding dilutive common shares plus the outstanding Operating Partnership units for the periods presented.

Earnings before Interest, Taxes, and Depreciation and Amortization ("EBITDA") - The Company believes that EBITDA provides investors a useful financial measure to evaluate its operating performance, excluding the impact of our capital structure (primarily interest expense) and our asset base (primarily depreciation and amortization).

The Company also evaluates its performance by reviewing Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted FFO, because it believes that adjusting EBITDA and FFO to exclude certain recurring and non-recurring items described below provides useful supplemental information regarding the Company's ongoing operating performance and that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted FFO, when combined with the primary GAAP presentation of net income (loss), more completely describes the Company's operating performance. The Company adjusts EBITDA and FFO for the following items, which may occur in any period, and refers to these measures as Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted FFO:

- Non-cash ground rent: The Company excludes the non-cash ground rent expense, which is primarily made up of the straight-line rent impact from a ground lease.
- Hotel acquisition costs: The Company excludes acquisition transaction costs expensed during the period because it believes that including these costs in EBITDA and FFO does not reflect the underlying financial performance of the Company and its hotels.
- Reorganization costs from joint venture: The Company excludes reorganization costs expensed during the period because it believes that including these costs in EBITDA and FFO does not reflect the underlying financial performance of the Company and its hotels.
- Amortization of LTIP units: The Company excludes the non-cash amortization of LTIP Units expensed during the period.
- Management/franchise contract transition costs: The Company excludes one-time management and/or franchise contract transition costs expensed during the period because it believes that including these costs in EBITDA and FFO does not reflect the underlying financial performance of the Company and its hotels.
- Interest expense adjustment for above-market loans: The Company excludes interest expense adjustment for above-market loans assumed in connection with acquisitions, because it believes that including these non-cash adjustments in FFO does not reflect the underlying financial performance of the Company.

The Company’s presentation of FFO in accordance with the NAREIT White Paper and EBITDA, and as adjusted by the Company, should not be considered as an alternative to net income (computed in accordance with GAAP) as an indicator of the Company’s financial performance or to cash flow from operating activities (computed in accordance with GAAP) as an indicator of its liquidity. The table above is a reconciliation of the Company’s FFO and EBITDA calculations to net income in accordance with GAAP.
