* Reuters is not responsible for the content in this press release.
IRVING, Texas--(Business Wire)--
FelCor Lodging Trust Incorporated (NYSE: FCH) today reported
operating results for the second quarter and six months ended June 30,
2008.
Highlights:
-- Met our Adjusted FFO and EBITDA guidance for the quarter.
-- RevPAR increased 8.7 percent for our 53 hotels where
renovations were completed in 2007. RevPAR increased
4.7 percent for our 85 consolidated hotels, compared to 1.2
percent for the United States average.
-- Hotel EBITDA margin increased 215 basis points compared to
prior year.
-- Market share increased approximately seven percent for our 53
hotels where renovations were completed in 2007, attaining our
targeted return on renovations. Market share increased
approximately four percent for our 85 consolidated hotels.
-- Completed renovations at three additional hotels. We now have
completed renovations at 78 hotels (comprising approximately
94 percent of our portfolio).
Second Quarter Operating Results:
Revenue per available room ("RevPAR") for our 85 consolidated
hotels increased 4.7 percent to $105.76, which was driven by increases
in both average daily rate ("ADR") of 1.6 percent and occupancy of
3.0 percent, compared to the same period in 2007. At our 53 hotels
where we completed renovations in 2007, RevPAR increased 8.7 percent
and ADR increased 2.7 percent compared to the prior year.
"Despite softening industry-wide demand, our hotels are benefiting
from our comprehensive renovation program and continue to increase
RevPAR well above the industry. More importantly, our portfolio gained
significant market share from its competitive sets, and we remain on
track to earn our targeted returns from completed renovations," said
Richard A. Smith, FelCor's President and Chief Executive Officer. "We
will continue to focus on driving market share and still anticipate
that RevPAR for our portfolio will increase significantly higher than
the industry average for the remainder of the year and into 2009."
Our Same-Store Adjusted Funds from Operations ("FFO") increased to
$49.5 million, or $0.76 per share, compared to $37.5 million, or $0.59
per share, for the same period in 2007. Our Adjusted FFO was
$49.5 million, compared to $54.7 million for the same period in 2007
(including sold hotels). Adjusted FFO per share met the low-end of our
expectations.
Our Hotel EBITDA increased to $97.4 million, compared to
$86.8 million in the same period in 2007, an increase of 12.2 percent.
Hotel EBITDA margin was 31.9 percent and represented a 215 basis point
increase compared to the same period in 2007, which was at the
high-end of our expectations.
Our Same-Store Adjusted EBITDA increased to $87.2 million,
compared to $77.6 million for the same period in 2007, an increase of
12.3 percent. Our Adjusted EBITDA was $87.2 million in the second
quarter, compared to $91.7 million for the same period in 2007
(including sold hotels).
Net income applicable to common stockholders was $13.6 million, or
$0.22 per share, compared to $45.5 million, or $0.73 per share, for
the same period in 2007. Net income for the second quarter of 2007
included $40.7 million from gains on sale of condominiums, gains on
sale of hotels, and operating income from hotels sold in 2007.
EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Hotel EBITDA, Hotel EBITDA margin, FFO,
and Adjusted FFO are all non-GAAP financial measures. See our
discussion of "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" beginning on page 13 for a
reconciliation of each of these measures to our net income and for
information regarding the use, limitations and importance of these
non-GAAP financial measures.
Renovations and Development Projects:
During the second quarter, we completed renovations at three
hotels. Since we began our renovation program, we have completed 78
hotels, which comprise approximately 94 percent of our portfolio. For
the remainder of 2008, we expect the majority of the disruption to be
at San Francisco Union Square. The redevelopment of this hotel to a
Marriott remains on schedule to be completed in early 2009.
Overall, our renovated hotels continue to earn the expected
returns on the capital expenditures. For the 53 hotels where we
completed renovations during 2007, market share increased
approximately seven percent relative to their competitive sets. RevPAR
at these hotels increased 8.7 percent for the second quarter and Hotel
EBITDA grew 17.6 percent compared to the prior year.
We spent $34.6 million on renovations and redevelopment projects
at our hotels for the three months ended June 30, 2008, including our
pro rata share of joint venture expenditures.
Capital Structure:
At June 30, 2008, we had $1.5 billion of consolidated debt
outstanding with a weighted average life of four years and a weighted
average interest rate of 6.3 percent. Our cash and cash equivalents
totaled $70.9 million at June 30, 2008. In July, we repaid a
$15.5 million single property mortgage loan and exercised the first of
three, one-year extension options on our $250 million CMBS loan that
was initially scheduled to mature November 2008. We have no scheduled
debt maturities for the remainder of 2008.
2008 Dividend and Guidance:
We intend to reduce our quarterly common dividend, effective the
third quarter of 2008, based on our revised forecast for the second
half of the year and limited visibility for 2009. Given this limited
visibility and our focus on liquidity and leverage, we are taking a
more conservative approach by setting the new dividend to more closely
reflect our taxable net income distribution requirement, and will
adjust it accordingly to meet our targeted payout ratio. Therefore, we
intend to set the dividend at $0.15 per share. Our revised dividend
represents a yield in excess of seven percent, based on today's
closing price. The dividend reduction would equate to annual cash flow
savings of approximately $50 million.
"We are very pleased with what we accomplished during the second
quarter, including gains in market share and managing flow-through by
reducing costs across the portfolio. We expect that we will continue
to outperform the industry in both RevPAR and margin growth," said
Andrew J. Welch, FelCor's Executive Vice President and Chief Financial
Officer. "There is no denying the current economic trends and
potential for further deterioration in demand. Demand is being
impacted by reductions in airline capacity, higher fuel costs,
moderating GDP and negative sentiment towards the economy. As a
result, we have revised our outlook for the remainder of the year and
have taken a more conservative stance regarding our dividend
distribution."
RevPAR at our 85 consolidated hotels is expected to increase
between 4.0 and 5.0 percent in 2008, compared to the prior year, which
reflects our expectation that RevPAR for our markets will be between
negative one percent and flat compared to 2007. Therefore, we continue
to expect that RevPAR for our portfolio will increase significantly
more than our markets. RevPAR at our 85 consolidated hotels increased
5.0 percent in July 2008, compared to the same period in 2007. The
benefits of our renovation program, including achieving the expected
returns from our capital investment, are driving our relatively high
increase in RevPAR. The moderation in RevPAR growth is impacting our
annual net income, FFO and EBITDA guidance. The upward shift in the
forward interest-rate curve is further impacting net income and FFO.
We currently anticipate:
-- Portfolio RevPAR growth to be between 4.0 and 5.0 percent for
the full year, and 4.5 and 6.0 percent for the third quarter;
-- Adjusted EBITDA to be between $283 million and $289 million
for the full year, and $64 million and $67 million for the
third quarter;
-- Adjusted FFO per share to be between $2.08 and $2.18 for the
full year, and $0.43 and $0.47 for the third quarter;
-- Net Income to be between $5 million and $11 million for the
full year, and net loss of $1 million and net income of
$2 million for the third quarter;
-- Hotel EBITDA margins to increase approximately 40 basis points
for the full year; and
-- Capital expenditures, including redevelopment projects, of
approximately $150 million for the full year.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We refer in this release to certain "non-GAAP financial measures."
These measures, including FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA,
Hotel EBITDA and Hotel EBITDA margin, are measures of our financial
performance that are not calculated and presented in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). The following
tables reconcile each of these non-GAAP measures to the most
comparable GAAP financial measure. Immediately following the
reconciliations, we include a discussion of why we believe these
measures are useful supplemental measures of our performance and the
limitations of such measures.

Substantially all of our non-current assets consist of real
estate. 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 industry investors consider
supplemental measures of performance, which are not measures of
operating performance under GAAP, to be helpful in evaluating a real
estate company's operations. These supplemental measures, including
FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Hotel EBITDA and Hotel
EBITDA margin, are not measures of operating performance under GAAP.
However, we consider these non-GAAP measures to be supplemental
measures of a hotel REIT's performance and should be considered along
with, but not as an alternative to, net income as a measure of our
operating performance.
FFO and EBITDA
The White Paper on Funds From Operations approved by the Board of
Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts
("NAREIT"), defines FFO as net income or loss (computed in accordance
with GAAP), excluding gains or losses from sales of property, plus
depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for
unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Adjustments for
unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures are calculated to
reflect FFO on the same basis. We compute FFO in accordance with
standards established by NAREIT. This may not be comparable to FFO
reported by other REITs that do not define the term in accordance with
the current NAREIT definition or that interpret the current NAREIT
definition differently than we do.
EBITDA is a commonly used measure of performance in many
industries. We define EBITDA as net income or loss (computed in
accordance with GAAP) plus interest expenses, income taxes,
depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for
unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Adjustments for
unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures are calculated to
reflect EBITDA on the same basis.
Adjustments to FFO and EBITDA
We adjust FFO and EBITDA when evaluating our performance because
management believes that the exclusion of certain additional recurring
and non-recurring items such as those described below provides useful
supplemental information to investors regarding our ongoing operating
performance and that the presentation of Adjusted FFO and Adjusted
EBITDA, when combined with GAAP net income, EBITDA and FFO, is
beneficial to an investor's better understanding of our operating
performance.
-- Gains and losses related to early extinguishment of debt and
interest rate swaps - We exclude gains and losses related to
early extinguishment of debt and interest rate swaps from FFO
and EBITDA because we believe that it is not indicative of
ongoing operating performance of our hotel assets. This also
represents an acceleration of interest expense or a reduction
of interest expense, and interest expense is excluded from
EBITDA.
-- Impairment losses - We exclude the effect of impairment losses
and gains or losses on disposition of assets in computing
Adjusted FFO and Adjusted EBITDA because we believe that
including these is not consistent with reflecting the ongoing
performance of our remaining assets. Additionally, we believe
that impairment charges and gains or losses on disposition of
assets represent accelerated depreciation, or excess
depreciation, and depreciation is excluded from FFO by the
NAREIT definition and from EBITDA.
-- Cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle -
Infrequently, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
promulgates new accounting standards that require the
consolidated statements of operations to reflect the
cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle. We
exclude these one-time adjustments in computing Adjusted FFO
and Adjusted EBITDA because they do not reflect our actual
performance for that period.
In addition, to derive Adjusted EBITDA, we exclude gains or losses
on the sale of assets because we believe that including them in EBITDA
is not consistent with reflecting the ongoing performance of our
remaining assets. Additionally, the gain or loss on sale of
depreciable assets represents either accelerated depreciation or
excess depreciation in previous periods, and depreciation is excluded
from EBITDA.
To derive same-store comparisons, we have adjusted Adjusted FFO
and Adjusted EBITDA to remove discontinued operations and gains on
sales of condominium units; and have added the historical results of
operations from the two Renaissance hotels acquired in December 2007.
Hotel EBITDA and Hotel EBITDA Margin
Hotel EBITDA and Hotel EBITDA margin are commonly used measures of
performance in the industry and give investors a more complete
understanding of the operating results over which our individual
hotels and operating managers have direct control. We believe that
Hotel EBITDA and Hotel EBITDA margin are useful to investors by
providing greater transparency with respect to two significant
measures used by us in our financial and operational decision-making.
Additionally, these measures facilitate comparisons with other hotel
REITs and hotel owners. We present Hotel EBITDA and Hotel EBITDA
margin by eliminating from continuing operations all revenues and
expenses not directly associated with hotel operations including
corporate-level expenses, depreciation and expenses related to our
capital structure. We eliminate corporate-level costs and expenses
because we believe property-level results provide investors with
supplemental information with respect to the ongoing operating
performance of our hotels and the effectiveness of management on a
property-level basis. We eliminate depreciation and amortization, even
though they are property-level expenses, because we do not believe
that these non-cash expenses, which are based on historical cost
accounting for real estate assets and implicitly assume that the value
of real estate assets diminish predictably over time, accurately
reflect an adjustment in the value of our assets. We also eliminate
consolidated percentage rent paid to unconsolidated entities, which is
effectively eliminated by minority interest expense and equity in
income from unconsolidated subsidiaries, and include the cost of
unconsolidated taxes, insurance and lease expense, to reflect the
entire operating costs applicable to our hotels. Hotel EBITDA and
Hotel EBITDA margins are presented on a same-store basis including the
historical results of operations from the two Renaissance hotels
acquired in December 2007.
Limitations of Non-GAAP Measures
Our management and Board of Directors use FFO, EBITDA, Hotel
EBITDA and Hotel EBITDA margin to evaluate the performance of our
hotels and to facilitate comparisons between us and lodging REITs,
hotel owners who are not REITs and other capital intensive companies.
We use Hotel EBITDA and Hotel EBITDA margin in evaluating hotel-level
performance and the operating efficiency of our hotel managers.
The use of these non-GAAP financial measures has certain
limitations. FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Hotel EBITDA
and Hotel EBITDA margin, as presented by us, may not be comparable to
FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Hotel EBITDA and Hotel
EBITDA margin as calculated by other real estate companies. These
measures do not reflect certain expenses that we incurred and will
incur, such as depreciation and interest or capital expenditures.
Management compensates for these limitations by separately considering
the impact of these excluded items to the extent they are material to
operating decisions or assessments of our operating performance. Our
reconciliations to the GAAP financial measures, and our consolidated
statements of operations and cash flows, include interest expense,
capital expenditures, and other excluded items, all of which should be
considered when evaluating our performance, as well as the usefulness
of our non-GAAP financial measures.
These non-GAAP financial measures are used in addition to and in
conjunction with results presented in accordance with GAAP. They
should not be considered as alternatives to operating profit, cash
flow from operations, or any other operating performance measure
prescribed by GAAP. Neither should FFO, Adjusted FFO, Adjusted FFO per
share, EBITDA or Adjusted EBITDA be considered as measures of our
liquidity or indicative of funds available for our cash needs,
including our ability to make cash distributions. Adjusted FFO per
share should not be used as a measure of amounts that accrue directly
to the benefit of stockholders. FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA, Adjusted
EBITDA, Hotel EBITDA and Hotel EBITDA margin reflect additional ways
of viewing our operations that we believe when viewed with our GAAP
results and the reconciliations to the corresponding GAAP financial
measures provide a more complete understanding of factors and trends
affecting our business than could be obtained absent this disclosure.
Management strongly encourages investors to review our financial
information in its entirety and not to rely on any single financial
measure.
