  • Pro forma Hotel EBITDA Margin increased 201 basis points to 36.8%
  • Pro forma Consolidated Hotel EBITDA increased 16.0% to $109.4 million

“Our results this quarter illustrate that our disciplined investment strategy and our focus on operational excellence continue to drive solid growth for our portfolio,” commented Thomas J. Baltimore, Jr., President and Chief Executive Officer. “With the completion of our recent financing, we further strengthened our balance sheet and increased our flexibility for future growth. Our strong results have allowed us to increase our dividend meaningfully and continue to deliver significant value to our shareholders.”

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 hotels sold during the period and non-comparable hotels that were not open for operation or closed for renovations 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 three months ended September 30, 2014, increased 9.6% over the comparable period in 2013, driven by a Pro forma ADR increase of 4.6% and a Pro forma Occupancy increase of 4.8%. Several of the Company’s top six markets achieved double digit RevPAR growth. Austin, Denver, Washington D.C., and Houston experienced RevPAR growth of 14.1%, 11.1%, 10.8%, and 10.4%, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, Pro forma RevPAR increased 7.5% over the comparable period in 2013, driven by a Pro forma ADR increase of 3.7% and a Pro forma Occupancy increase of 3.7%.

Pro forma Hotel EBITDA Margin for the three months ended September 30, 2014, increased 201 basis points over the comparable period in 2013 to 36.8%. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, Pro forma Hotel EBITDA Margin increased 101 basis points over the comparable period in 2013 to 35.9%, adjusted to normalize 2013 ground rent at the Courtyard Waikiki Beach.

Pro forma Consolidated Hotel EBITDA includes the results of non-comparable hotels. For the three months ended September 30, 2014, Pro forma Consolidated Hotel EBITDA increased $15.1 million to $109.4 million, representing a 16.0% increase over the comparable period in 2013. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, Pro forma Consolidated Hotel EBITDA increased $29.7 million to $307.9 million, representing a 10.7% increase over the comparable period in 2013, adjusted to normalize 2013 ground rent at the Courtyard Waikiki Beach.

Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended September 30, 2014, increased $20.9 million to $101.6 million, representing a 25.8% increase over the comparable period in 2013. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, Adjusted EBITDA increased $42.5 million to $276.7 million, representing an increase of 18.1% over the comparable period in 2013.

Adjusted FFO for the three months ended September 30, 2014, increased $22.3 million to $87.4 million, representing a 34.2% increase over the comparable period in 2013. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, Adjusted FFO increased $50.6 million to $234.6 million, representing an increase of 27.5% over the comparable period in 2013.

Adjusted FFO per diluted share and unit for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, was $0.66 and $1.83, respectively, based on the Company’s diluted weighted-average common shares and units outstanding of 133.3 million and 128.2 million for each period, respectively.

Non-recurring items which are noteworthy for the three months ended September 30, 2014, include an impairment loss of $9.2 million related to certain hotels being marketed for sale.

Non-recurring items are included in net income attributable to common shareholders but have been excluded from Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted FFO, as applicable. A complete listing is provided in the Non-GAAP reconciliation tables for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013.

Net income attributable to common shareholders for the three months ended September 30, 2014, was $36.8 million compared to $36.5 million for the comparable period in 2013. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, net income attributable to common shareholders was $101.6 million, compared to $85.5 million for the comparable period in 2013.

Net cash flow from operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, totaled $224.1 million compared to $185.2 million for the comparable period in 2013.

Acquisitions

During the three months ended September 30, 2014, the Company acquired two hotels in attractive high-growth markets: the 194-room Hyatt Atlanta Midtown in Atlanta, Georgia, and the 215-room DoubleTree Grand Key Resort in Key West, Florida.

On July 14, 2014, the Company acquired the 194-room Hyatt Atlanta Midtown in an off-market transaction for a total purchase price of $49.5 million, or approximately $255,000 per key. The Company expects that the purchase price will represent a forward capitalization rate of approximately 8.0% based on the hotel's projected 2015 net operating income.

On September 11, 2014, the Company acquired the 215-room DoubleTree Grand Key Resort in an off-market transaction for a purchase price of $77.0 million, or approximately $358,000 per key. The Company plans to spend an estimated $7.0 million on renovation upgrades in 2015. The Company expects that the purchase price and pending capital expenditures will represent a forward capitalization rate of approximately 8.0% based on the hotel's projected 2016 net operating income.

Balance Sheet

As of September 30, 2014, the Company had $274.4 million of unrestricted cash on its balance sheet, $300.0 million available on its revolving credit facility, and approximately $1.6 billion of debt outstanding. The Company’s ratio of net debt to Adjusted EBITDA for the trailing twelve month period ended September 30, 2014, was 3.5 times.

Dividends

The Company’s Board of Trustees declared a cash dividend of $0.30 per common share of beneficial interest. This dividend represents a 36.4% increase to the prior quarter's regular cash dividend. The dividend was paid on October 15, 2014, to shareholders of record as of September 30, 2014.

Subsequent Events

In October 2014, the Company originated four mortgage loans totaling $143.0 million and used the proceeds to retire five mortgage loans. The new mortgages bear a floating rate of LIBOR plus 225 basis points.

2014 Outlook

The Company’s outlook has been updated to reflect the portfolio's strong performance and recent acquisitions. The outlook excludes potential future acquisitions and dispositions, which could result in a material change to the Company’s outlook. The 2014 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, 2013. Pro forma Consolidated Hotel EBITDA includes approximately $12.2 million of prior ownership Hotel EBITDA for recently acquired hotels that is not included in the Company’s Adjusted EBITDA or Adjusted FFO. Pro forma guidance removes income from hotels that were sold.

For the full year 2014, the Company anticipates:

         
    Current Outlook   Prior Outlook
Pro forma RevPAR growth (1)   6.0% to 8.0%   5.0% to 7.0%
Pro forma Hotel EBITDA Margin (1) 35.1% to 36.1% 34.7% to 35.7%
Pro forma Consolidated Hotel EBITDA   $390.0M to $410.0M   $380.0M to $400.0M

(1) Excludes non-comparable hotels. Properties closed for renovations are considered non-comparable and therefore are excluded for periods in which they are closed.

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 urge 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 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 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 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 or loss on the disposal of assets, non-cash gain or loss 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 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 in discontinued operations if they represent a strategic shift in operations (e.g., disposal of a major line of business). The 14 assets sold during the nine months ended September 30, 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. The information has not been audited and is presented only for comparison purposes. Results reflect 100% of DoubleTree NYC Metropolitan financial results, which have not been adjusted to reflect the noncontrolling interest in the joint venture. All results exclude disposed hotels, 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 only). Fairfield Inn & Suites Key West was closed for a comprehensive renovation during Q3 2014 and therefore its results during the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 are excluded in the table above.
