(1) See tables later in this press release for a description of same-property information and reconciliations from net income (loss) to non-GAAP financial measures, including Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization ("EBITDA"), Adjusted EBITDA, Funds from Operations ("FFO"), FFO per share, Adjusted FFO and Adjusted FFO per share.

For the details as to which hotels are included in Same-Property Revenue Per Available Room (“RevPAR”), Average Daily Rate (“ADR”), Occupancy, Revenues, Expenses, EBITDA and EBITDA Margins appearing in the table above and elsewhere in this press release, refer to the Same-Property Inclusion Reference Table later in this press release.

“First quarter operating results for our portfolio exceeded our outlook due to better than forecasted RevPAR growth and terrific success limiting expense increases,” said Jon E. Bortz, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Pebblebrook Hotel Trust. “Hotel industry fundamentals remain strong as demand continues to outpace tepid new supply and rates grow at a healthy pace. We increased our 2015 outlook, which remains very positive as we expect to see favorable growth trends continue throughout the year, both for our portfolio and the U.S. lodging industry.”

First Quarter Highlights

  • Same-Property RevPAR: Same-Property RevPAR in the first quarter of 2015 increased 3.6 percent over the same period of 2014 to $174.71. Same-Property ADR grew 6.3 percent from the first quarter of 2014 to $222.54. Same-Property Occupancy decreased 2.5 percent to 78.5 percent, primarily impacted negatively by renovations in the quarter.
  • Same-Property EBITDA: The Company’s hotels generated $46.2 million of Same-Property EBITDA for the quarter ended March 31, 2015, rising 10.9 percent compared with the same period of 2014. Same-Property Revenues increased 3.7 percent, while Same-Property Hotel Expenses rose just 1.4 percent. As a result, Same-Property EBITDA Margin for the first quarter of 2015 grew to 26.0 percent, representing an increase of 168 basis points.
  • Adjusted EBITDA: The Company’s Adjusted EBITDA rose to $38.8 million from $29.5 million in the prior year period, an increase of $9.3 million, or 31.4 percent.
  • Adjusted FFO: The Company’s Adjusted FFO climbed 44.4 percent to $24.4 million from $16.9 million in the prior year period.
  • Dividends: On March 16, 2015, the Company declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.31 per share on its common shares, an increase of 35 percent from the prior quarterly dividend of $0.23 per share, a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.4921875 per share on its 7.875% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares, a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.50 per share on its 8.00% Series B Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares and a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.40625 per share on its 6.50% Series C Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares.

“We had a very good first quarter, especially when factoring in weather related travel disruptions that impacted the East Coast as well as the negative impact associated with several significant capital reinvestment projects planned for the quarter,” commented Mr. Bortz. “Same-Property RevPAR increased 3.6 percent, below the industry’s 7.9 percent growth, but in excess of our outlook, which drove Same-Property EBITDA growth of 10.9 percent over the prior year. Our hotels, as provided in our previous outlook for the quarter, lost 300 basis points of RevPAR growth due to the renovation projects underway in the quarter, as well as another 60 basis points from disruptive weather in the east. With the completion of numerous past, recent, ongoing and upcoming renovations and repositionings, we expect to see significant additional upside from our strategy of acquiring high-quality unique hotels located in cities with high barriers-to-entry and access to multiple demand generators, and then renovating and repositioning them for significant multi-year growth that should exceed the underlying growth in their respective markets.”

Capital Reinvestment and Asset Management

During the first quarter, the Company invested $27.1 million in capital improvements throughout its portfolio and completed several significant capital projects at a number of its West Coast properties. In March, the 117-room Hotel Vintage Plaza Portland reopened as Hotel Vintage Portland, following its dramatic $10.0 million repositioning, which commenced in early January 2015. As of April 2015, the Company substantially completed the $8.5 million renovation of Embassy Suites San Diego Bay – Downtown, and its $23.5 million renovation and 39 guest room expansion at W Los Angeles – Westwood. STK, the new leased restaurant at W Los Angeles – Westwood, is expected to open near the end of the second quarter.

During the remainder of 2015, the Company has various renovations and repositionings planned at a number of its properties, including:

  • Radisson Hotel Fisherman’s Wharf, which has been underway since the fourth quarter of 2014, with completion, expansion to 361 guest rooms, and re-launch as Hotel Zephyr Fisherman’s Wharf expected in June of 2015;
  • Dumont NYC, which is adding 10 new guest rooms that are expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2015;
  • The Westin Colonnade Coral Gables, with the guest room portion of its renovation and repositioning planned to commence in the summer of 2015 and expected completion in the fourth quarter of 2015, and the public area renovation and re-launch as either an independent hotel or with a new flag to be completed near the end of the first quarter of 2016;
  • Prescott Hotel, which will undergo a full renovation and repositioning that is planned to commence in the fourth quarter of 2015, with the hotel likely to be closed for the renovation, and then reopened under a new name in the second quarter of 2016;
  • The Nines, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Portland, which is expected to commence a rooms renovation late in the fourth quarter of 2015, with completion planned in the first quarter of 2016.

Balance Sheet

As of March 31, 2015, the Company had $836.9 million in consolidated debt and $225.4 million in unconsolidated, non-recourse, secured debt at weighted-average interest rates of 3.8 percent and 3.6 percent, respectively. The Company’s total combined consolidated and unconsolidated debt has a weighted-average interest rate of 3.7 percent. The Company had $300.0 million outstanding in the form of an unsecured term loan and a $100.0 million outstanding balance on its $300.0 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility. As of March 31, 2015, the Company had $42.3 million of consolidated cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash and $12.4 million of unconsolidated cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash. The unconsolidated debt, cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash amounts represent the Company’s 49 percent interest in its six-hotel joint venture (the “Manhattan Collection”).

On March 31, 2015, as defined in the Company’s credit agreement, the Company’s fixed charge coverage ratio was 2.9 times and total net debt to trailing 12-month corporate EBITDA was 4.3 times. The Company’s total debt to total gross assets ratio was 32 percent. Excluding its interest in the off-balance sheet Manhattan Collection, the Company’s fixed charge coverage ratio was 2.9 times, net debt to trailing 12-month corporate EBITDA was 3.8 times and total debt to total gross assets ratio was 30 percent.

Capital Markets

Year-to-date, Pebblebrook has completed two capital markets transactions to help maintain its strong balance sheet and prudent capital structure, including retiring some legacy mortgage debt and executing a new term loan:

  • On March 5, 2015, the Company repaid $50.7 million of loans secured by The Nines, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Portland, which were assumed at acquisition and subject to a 7.4 percent interest rate.
  • On April 13, 2015, the Company successfully completed a new 7-year, $100.0 million unsecured term loan facility. The new term loan matures in April 2022 and the Company effectively fixed its LIBOR rate for the entire term of the loan by entering into interest rate swap agreements, resulting in a current interest rate of 3.5 percent, based on the Company’s current leverage levels.

2015 Outlook

The Company's outlook for 2015, which has been increased due to its better than expected first quarter performance, incorporates the expected impact of the Company’s various capital investment projects and assumes continued improvement in economic activity, positive business travel trends and other significant assumptions. The Company’s outlook for 2015 is as follows:

 

       
2015 Outlook
Low     High

($ and shares/units in millions, except

per share and RevPAR data)

 

Net income (loss) to common shareholders

$68.1 $73.6

Adjusted FFO $177.5 $183.0
Adjusted FFO per diluted share $2.44 $2.52
 
 

This 2015 outlook is based, in part, on the following estimates and assumptions:

Same-Property RevPAR $211 $213

The Company’s outlook for the second quarter of 2015 is as follows:

 
Second Quarter 2015 Outlook
Low     High

($ and shares/units in millions, except

per share and RevPAR data)

 
Same-Property RevPAR $217 $221

The Company’s outlook for 2015 and the second quarter of 2015 reflects the Company’s 49 percent interest in the Manhattan Collection. The Company’s outlook incorporates all expected second quarter renovation disruption, including the negative impact associated with the ongoing renovation of the Radisson Hotel Fisherman’s Wharf, as well as disruption associated with renovations later this year at The Westin Colonnade Coral Gables, Prescott Hotel and The Nines, a Luxury Collection Hotel.

The Company’s estimates and assumptions, including the Company’s outlook for 2015 and second quarter 2015, for Same-Property RevPAR, Same-Property RevPAR growth rate, Same-Property EBITDA, Same-Property EBITDA Margin and Same-Property EBITDA Margin growth rate includes the hotels owned as of March 31, 2015, as if they had been owned by the Company for all of 2015 and 2014, except for Hotel Vintage Portland, which is not included in the first quarter and the Prescott Hotel, which is not included in the fourth quarter. The Company’s 2015 outlook assumes no additional acquisitions beyond the hotels the Company owned as of March 31, 2015.

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 (“FFO”) - 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 Company's operating performance 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:

- 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.

- 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.

- Amortization of Class A 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.

- Capital lease adjustment: The Company excludes the effect of non-cash interest expense from capital leases because it believes that including these non-cash adjustments in FFO does not reflect the underlying financial performance of the Company.

- Non-cash amortization of acquired intangibles: The Company excludes the non-cash amortization of acquired intangibles, which includes but is not limited to the amortization of favorable and unfavorable leases and above/below market real estate tax reduction agreements 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.
