Organization

 

FelCor Lodging Trust Incorporated, or FelCor, is a real estate investment trust, or REIT. At June 30, 2008, we held ownership interests in 89 hotels and were the largest owner of upper-upscale, all-suite hotels.

 

FelCor is the sole general partner of, and the owner of a greater than 97% limited partnership interest in, FelCor Lodging Limited Partnership, or FelCor LP. All of our operations are conducted solely through FelCor LP or its subsidiaries.

 

Of the 89 hotels in which we had an ownership interest at June 30, 2008, we owned a 100% interest in 66 hotels, a 90% or greater interest in entities owning four hotels, a 75% interest in an entity owning one hotel, a 60% interest in an entity owning one hotel and a 50% interest in entities owning 17 hotels.

 

As a result of our ownership interests in the operating lessees of 85 of these hotels (Consolidated Hotels), we reflect their operating revenues and expenses in our consolidated statements of operations. The operating revenues and expenses of the remaining four hotels were not consolidated but were reported on the equity method; three of these hotels were operated by 50% owned lessees, and one hotel, in which we had a 50% ownership interest, was operated without a lease.

 

At June 30, 2008, we had an aggregate of 63,168,272 shares of FelCor common stock and 1,353,771 units of FelCor LP limited partnership interests outstanding.

          Our Consolidated Hotels are located in the United States (23 states) and Canada (two hotels in Ontario), with concentrations in California (15 hotels), Florida (14 hotels) and Texas (11 hotels). Approximately 52% of our hotel room revenues in continuing operations during the first six months of 2008 were generated from hotels in these states.

 

          At June 30, 2008, of our Consolidated Hotels, (i) subsidiaries of Hilton Hotels Corporation managed 54, (ii) subsidiaries of InterContinental Hotels Group PLC, or IHG, managed 17, (iii) subsidiaries of Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Inc. managed nine, (iv) subsidiaries of Marriott International Inc. managed three hotels, and (v) independent management companies managed two.

 

          We entered into management agreements for our three Marriott-managed hotels in December 2007 (two Renaissance Resorts and an independent hotel, operating as Hotel 480 Union Square). Hotels managed by Marriott are accounted for on a fiscal year comprised of 52 or 53 weeks ending on the Friday closest to December 31. Our fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2008, includes the results of operations for our Marriott-managed hotels for the twelve-week period ended June 15, 2008.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

1.

Organization – (continued)

 

          The information in our consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 is unaudited. Preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The accompanying financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, include adjustments based on management’s estimates (consisting of normal and recurring accruals), which we consider necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods. The financial information should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2007, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of actual operating results for the entire year.

 

2.

Investment in Unconsolidated Entities

 

          We owned 50% interests in joint venture entities that owned 17 hotels at June 30, 2008 and at December 31, 2007. We also owned a 50% interest in joint venture entities that own real estate in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, provide condominium management services and lease three hotels. We account for our investments in these unconsolidated entities under the equity method. We do not have any majority-owned subsidiaries that are not consolidated in our financial statements. We make adjustments to our equity in income from unconsolidated entities related to the depreciation of our excess basis in investment in unconsolidated entities when compared to the historical basis of the assets recorded by the joint ventures.

          In the first quarter of 2007, a 50%-owned joint venture sold the Embassy Suites Hotel in Covina, California. The sale of this hotel resulted in a gain of $15.6 million for this venture. Our basis in this unconsolidated hotel was lower than the venture’s basis, resulting in additional gain on sale.

 

          In January 2008, a 50%-owned joint venture refinanced a maturing non-recourse mortgage debt secured by eight unconsolidated hotels. Of the $140 million in gross proceeds, $87 million were used to repay the maturing debt, and the balance was either retained in the venture or distributed to the joint venture partners. We received $19.0 million from this distribution.

 

          In January 2008, a 50%-owned joint venture repaid (with contributions from the joint venturers) a maturing $12.0 million non-recourse loan secured by one hotel. Our contribution was $6.0 million.

Interest rates are calculated based on the weighted average debt outstanding at June 30, 2008.

 

(e)

We have purchased an interest rate cap at 7.8% for this notional amount that expires in November 2009.

 

(f)

This loan provides us three one-year extension options that permit, in our sole discretion, the maturity to be extended to 2011. In July 2008, we exercised our first one-year option to extend the maturity to November 2009.

 

(g)

We have purchased interest rate caps at 6.25% for $177 million aggregate notional amounts that expire in May 2009.

 

(h)

These loans provide us three one-year extension options that permit, in our sole discretion, the maturity to be extended to 2012.

 

          We reported interest expense of $24.8 million and $23.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, which is net of: (i) interest income of $0.4 million and $1.4 million, and (ii) capitalized interest of $0.3 million and $1.2 million, respectively. We reported interest expense of $50.8 million and $46.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, which is net of: (i) interest income of $1.0 million and $2.7 million, and (ii) capitalized interest of $0.7 million and $2.8 million, respectively.

Hotel Operating Revenue, Departmental Expenses and Other Property Operating Costs

 

          Our 2008 financial statements include results of operations from the two hotels (the Renaissance Esmeralda Resort & Spa in Indian Wells, California, and the Renaissance Vinoy Resort & Golf Club in St. Petersburg, Florida) acquired in December 2007. As such, we experienced increases in most of our revenue and expenses within continuing operations compared to the same period in 2007.

For the first six months of both 2008 and 2007, more than 99% of our revenue was comprised of hotel operating revenue, which included room revenue, food and beverage revenue, and revenue from other hotel operating departments (such as telephone, parking and business centers). These revenues are recorded net of any sales or occupancy taxes collected from our guests. All rebates or discounts are recorded, when allowed, as a reduction in revenue, and there are no material contingent obligations with respect to rebates or discounts offered by us. All revenues are recorded on an accrual basis, as earned. Appropriate allowances are made for doubtful accounts, which are recorded as a bad debt expense. The remainder of our revenue was derived from other sources.

Impairment Charge

 

Our hotels are comprised of operations and cash flows that can clearly be distinguished, operationally and for financial reporting purposes, from the remainder of our operations. Accordingly, we consider our hotels to be components as defined by SFAS No. 144 for purposes of determining impairment charges and reporting discontinued operations.

 

In the first quarter of 2008, we identified six hotels as candidates to be sold. We tested these hotels for impairment under the provisions of SFAS No. 144 using undiscounted estimated cash flows over a revised estimated remaining hold period. Of the hotels tested, two hotels failed the test under SFAS No. 144, which resulted in an impairment charge during the first quarter ended March 31, 2008 of $17.1 million to write down these hotel assets to our then current estimate of their fair market value before selling expenses.

 

          The six hotels are included in continuing operations, because we do not believe it is probable that the hotels will be sold within the next 12 months. These hotels continue to be depreciated over their remaining useful lives.

 

          We may be subject to additional impairment charges in the event that operating results of individual hotels are materially different from our forecasts, the economy and lodging industry weakens, or if we shorten our contemplated holding period for additional hotels.

 

7.

Gain on Involuntary Conversion

 

During the second quarter of 2008, we reached a final settlement of our insurance claims related to our 2005 hurricane losses and realized a gain from involuntary conversion of $3.1 million as the final proceeds received exceeded our estimated basis in the assets requiring replacement.

 

8.

Condominium Project

 

We completed development of our 184-unit Royale Palms condominium project in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina in 2007. In the second quarter of 2007, we recognized a gain on sale of condominiums of $14.9 million, under the completed contract method, and for full year 2007, we recognized $18.6 million of gains, net of $1.0 million of tax. At June 30, 2008, we had five remaining condominium units included in other assets that we expect to sell on a selective basis to maximize the selling price.

          In the second quarter of 2007, we sold eight hotels for aggregate proceeds of $126.3 million. In the first six months of 2007, we sold ten consolidated hotels for aggregate gross proceeds of $169.0 million and one unconsolidated hotel for gross proceeds of $22.0 million. The operations of the unconsolidated hotel are consolidated because we owned more than 50% of the lessee.

 

          We did not have any hotels designated as held for sale at June 30, 2008, and we have not sold any hotels in 2008. We include the operating results of hotels held for sale in discontinued operations. We consider a hotel as “held for sale” once we determine the criteria for this classification under the provisions of SAFS No. 144 has been met.

Application of New Accounting Standards

 

          The FASB issued Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurements ("SFAS 157") which was effective for us on January 1, 2008. SFAS 157 provides guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities. This statement clarifies the principle that fair value should be based on the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability. SFAS 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy, giving the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets and the lowest priority to unobservable data. SFAS 157 applies whenever other standards require assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value. SFAS 157 also provides for certain disclosure requirements, including, but not limited to, the valuation techniques used to measure fair value and a discussion of changes in valuation techniques, if any, during the period except for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities that are not recognized or disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis, for which the effective date is January 1, 2009. We do not believe that the adoption of this standard has or will have a material effect on our financial position and results of operations.

 

          The FASB issued Statement No. 159, "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities" ("SFAS 159"), which was effective for us on January 1, 2008. SFAS 159 gives entities the option to measure eligible financial assets, financial liabilities and firm commitments at fair value on an instrument-by-instrument basis, that are otherwise not permitted to be accounted for at fair value under other accounting standards. The election to use the fair value option is available when an entity first recognizes a financial asset or financial liability or upon entering into a firm commitment. Subsequent changes (i.e., unrealized gains and losses) in fair value must be recorded in earnings. Additionally, SFAS 159 allows for a one-time election for existing positions upon adoption, with the transition adjustment recorded to beginning retained earnings. We did not make the one-time election upon adoption and therefore do not believe that the adoption of this standard has a material effect on our financial position and results of operations.

 

          In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 141 (revised 2007), "Business Combinations" ("SFAS 141(R)"), which establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer shall recognize and measure in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree and goodwill acquired in a business combination. This statement is effective for us for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after January 1, 2009. We are currently assessing the potential impact that the adoption of SFAS 141(R) will have on our financial position and results of operations.

 

In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements – an Amendment of ARB No. 51” (“SFAS 160”), which establishes and expands accounting and reporting standards for minority interests, which will be recharacterized as noncontrolling interests, in a subsidiary and the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. SFAS 160 is effective for us on or after January 1, 2009. We are currently assessing the potential impact that the adoption of SFAS 160 will have on our financial position and results of operations.

Item 2.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

General

 

We embarked on a comprehensive hotel renovation program in 2006, designed to improve the quality, returns on investment and competitive position of our hotels. In the second quarter of 2008, revenue per available room, or RevPAR, increased 8.7%, for our 53 hotels where renovations were completed in 2007 and market share for these hotels increased approximately seven percent, compared to the same period last year. Above-market RevPAR increases and improvements in market share at these hotels continues to demonstrate the positive impact of our renovation program. We expect that our renovated hotels will continue to outperform the industry averages.

 

During the second quarter we completed renovations at three hotels. Since we began our renovation program, we have completed renovations at 78 hotels, which comprise approximately 94% of our portfolio. For the remainder of 2008, we expect to have a meaningful amount of disruption at only one hotel, San Francisco Union Square. The redevelopment of this hotel to a Marriott remains on schedule to be completed in early 2009.

 

RevPAR at our Consolidated Hotels increased 4.7%, on a same-store basis, for both the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2008, compared to the same periods last year. Our improvement in RevPAR was substantially higher than the average of all US hotels for the same periods (1.2% and 1.5%, respectively). Our hotels also increased their market share approximately four percent for the quarter and approximately three percent for the six months ended June 30, 2008. Our RevPAR increases were driven by increases in Occupancy of 3.0% and 2.9%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively, and improvement in average daily rate, or ADR, of 1.6% and 1.7%, over the same periods, respectively. We attribute the increases in RevPAR largely to our recently renovated hotels.

 

Hotel EBITDA margins at our Consolidated Hotels improved by 215 basis points for the quarter and 101 basis points for the six months ended June 30, 2008, compared to the same periods last year. The improved margins are the result of the increases in ADR and a concerted effort by our hotel managers to monitor operating expenses.

 

In December 2007, we acquired two hotels managed by Renaissance Hotels & Resorts, an affiliate of Marriott International, Inc. The acquisition of these hotels makes the comparison of hotel operating results between the quarters and the six months ended June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2007 difficult. As a result, we have utilized a same-store comparison when comparing earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA, Hotel EBITDA, Hotel EBITDA margin, and funds from operations, or FFO. These are all non-GAAP financial measures, and detailed reconciliations to the most comparable GAAP measure are found elsewhere in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. For purposes of these same-store comparisons, we have adjusted our June 30, 2007 information to remove discontinued operations and gains on sale of condominium units and to add the historical results of operations of the two Renaissance hotels. We believe that this is helpful for the investor’s understanding of our current year operating results.

 

In the first quarter of 2008, we identified six hotels as candidates to be sold. Because of our shorter remaining estimated hold period on these hotels, we tested these hotels under the provisions of SFAS No. 144 and as a result of this test we recorded impairment charges of $17.1 million related to two of these hotels in the first quarter of 2008. This impairment charge is reflected in the six months ended June 30, 2008 income from continuing operations, FFO and EBITDA.

 

We declared and paid a $0.35 per share common dividend for both the first and second quarter of 2008. Based on our recently revised forecasts for the second half of the year and limited visibility for 2009, we intend to lower our common dividend payment to $0.15 per share effective the third quarter of 2008. 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. The dividend reduction would equate to annual cash flow savings of approximately $50 million. Our board of directors will determine the amount of future common and preferred dividends for each quarter, based upon the actual operating results for that quarter, economic conditions, other operating trends, our financial condition and capital requirements, as well as the minimum REIT distribution requirements.

Results of Operations

 

Comparison of the Three Months Ended June 30, 2008 and 2007

 

For the three months ended June 30, 2008, our 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. For the current year, this includes a $3.1 million gain related to involuntary conversions from the final settlement of 2005 hurricane claims. For 2007, net income included $42.1 million from (i) gains from sale of hotels ($22.5 million), (ii) gain on sale of condominiums ($14.9 million), and (iii) operating income from hotels sold in 2007, and included in discontinued operations ($4.7 million).

 

Our income from continuing operations was $23.3 million in the second quarter of 2008, compared to $29.4 million for the same period in 2007. Continuing operations in 2008 included a $3.1 million gain on involuntary conversion while the prior year included a $14.9 million gain from the sale of condominium units.

 

The second quarter of 2008 was our second complete quarter to include results of operations from two hotels (the Renaissance Esmeralda Resort & Spa in Indian Wells, California, and the Renaissance Vinoy Resort & Golf Club in St. Petersburg, Florida) acquired in December 2007. As such, we reflected increases in our revenues and expenses associated with these hotels compared to the same period in 2007.

 

In the second quarter of 2008, total revenues were $306.2 million, a 15.0% increase compared to the same period in 2007. The increase in revenue is principally attributed to our 4.7% increase in RevPAR and $25.6 million of revenue from the two recently-acquired Renaissance hotels.

 

In the second quarter of 2008, hotel departmental expense increased $14.6 million compared to the same period in 2007, of which $12.2 million is attributable to the two recently-acquired hotels and the remainder primarily reflects expenses associated with increased occupancy compared to the same period in 2007. As a percentage of total revenue, hotel departmental expenses increased from 32.1% to 32.7% compared to the same period in 2007. Rooms expense decreased as a percentage of total revenue from 19.9% to 18.6%, but food and beverage expense increased as a percent of total revenue from 10.0% to 11.8% and other operating department expenses increased as a percent of total revenue from 2.2% to 2.3% compared to the same period in 2007. These changes in departmental expenses as a percent of total revenue are primarily due to the mix and nature of the business of the two recently-acquired Renaissance hotels, which are both resort properties. ADR at the two recently-acquired hotels was 50% higher than the remainder of the portfolio in the second quarter of 2008, which was the principal reason for the improvement in rooms expense as a percentage of total revenue. Food and

 

19

 

 


beverage revenue generally has significantly higher expenses as a percent of revenue than room revenue, and the two Renaissance hotels contributed approximately 23% of our food and beverage revenue during the second quarter of 2008.

 

In the second quarter of 2008, other property-related costs increased $8.0 million compared to the same period in 2007, of which $6.1 million related to the two recently-acquired Renaissance hotels. As a percentage of total revenue, other property operating costs decreased from 25.8% to 25.0% compared to the same period in 2007. This improvement reflects decreased repairs and maintenance costs (as a consequence of our recent renovation program) as a percentage of revenue.

 

In the second quarter of 2008, management and franchise fees increased $2.0 million compared to the same period in 2007, of which $1.2 million resulted from increases in revenue and $0.8 million related to the two recently-acquired hotels. There was no change in management and franchise fees as a percentage of revenue in the second quarter of 2008 compared to the same period in 2007.

 

In the second quarter of 2008, taxes, insurance and lease expense decreased $2.6 million compared to the same period in 2007. The change from the prior year primarily relates to a decrease of $3.2 million in property taxes largely from reduced assessed values and resolution of estimated property tax accruals related to prior years partially offset by the taxes, insurance and lease expense related to the two recently-acquired Renaissance hotels, of $1.4 million.

 

Corporate expenses remained essentially unchanged in the second quarter of 2008 compared to the same period in 2007.

 

In the second quarter of 2008, depreciation and amortization expense increased $7.9 million, compared to the same period in 2007, of which $1.8 million related to the two recently-acquired Renaissance hotels, and the rest of the increase is attributed to increased depreciation associated with $227.5 million of the hotel capital expenditures incurred in 2007.

 

Net interest expense included in continuing operations for the second quarter increased $1.6 million compared to the same period in 2007. This change in interest expense was primarily attributable to (i) a $1.0 million decrease in interest income due to lower cash balances and interest rates earned on those balances; (ii) a $1.9 million increase in interest expense related to the mortgage debt on the acquired hotels; (iii) a $0.9 million reduction in interest capitalized related to lower renovation-related construction in progress balances; and (iv) partially offset by decreases in interest rates on floating rate debt compared to the second quarter of 2007.

 

Equity in income from unconsolidated entities for the second quarter decreased $1.4 million compared to the same period in 2007, primarily due to resetting several percentage leases in late 2007 at less favorable terms for our unconsolidated hotel lessors.

 

During the second quarter of 2008, we finally settled insurance claims relating to 2005 hurricane losses and realized a $3.1 million gain from involuntary conversion.

 

          During the second quarter of 2007, we finalized the sale of 146 of the 184 units at our Royale Palms condominium project and recognized a $14.9 million gain on sale under the completed contract method.

 

Discontinued operations for the three months ended June 30, 2007, included operating income of $4.7 million and $1.4 million minority interest expense related to the eleven hotels we sold in 2007. Discontinued operations also included $22.5 million of gains related to the sale of eight hotels during the second quarter of 2007.

 

20

 

 


Comparison of the Six Months Ended June 30, 2008 and 2007

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2008, our net loss applicable to common stockholders was $8.6 million, or $0.14 per share, compared to net income applicable to common stockholders of $65.0 million, or $1.05 per share, for the same period in 2007. For the current year, the loss included a net $14.0 million from an impairment charge on two hotels ($17.1 million), recorded in the first quarter; and a gain related to involuntary conversion from the final settlement of 2005 hurricane claims ($3.1 million). The prior year net income includes $66.2 million from (i) gains from sale of hotels ($28.5 million in discontinued operations and $11.2 million in equity in income from unconsolidated entities), (ii) gain on sale of condominiums ($18.1 million), and (iii) operating income from hotels sold in 2007 and included in discontinued operations ($8.4 million).

 

Our income from continuing operations was $10.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2008, compared to $50.2 million for the same period in 2007. Continuing operations in 2008 included a $17.1 million impairment charge and a $3.1 million gain from involuntary conversion, while the prior year included gains of $29.3 million from the gain on sale of an unconsolidated hotel ($11.2 million) and gains on sale of condominium units ($18.1 million).

 

The second quarter of 2008 was our second complete quarter to include results of operations from two hotels (the Renaissance Esmeralda Resort & Spa in Indian Wells, California, and the Renaissance Vinoy Resort & Golf Club in St. Petersburg, Florida) acquired in December 2007. As such, we reflected increases in our revenues and expenses associated with these hotels compared to the same period in 2007.

 

In the six months ended June 30, 2008, total revenues were $598.0 million, a 16.1% increase compared to the same period in 2007. The increase in revenue is principally attributed to our 4.7% increase in RevPAR and $55.2 million of revenue from the two recently-acquired Renaissance hotels.

 

In the six months ended June 30, 2008, hotel departmental expense increased $33.5 million compared to the same period in 2007, of which $25.4 million is attributable to the two recently-acquired hotels and the remainder primarily reflects expenses associated with increased occupancy compared to the same period in 2007. As a percentage of total revenue, hotel departmental expenses increased from 31.8% to 33.0% compared to the same period in 2007. Rooms expense decreased as a percentage of total revenue from 19.8% to 18.6%, but food and beverage expense increased as a percent of total revenue from 9.9% to 12.0% and other operating department expenses increased as a percent of total revenue from 2.1% to 2.4% compared to the same period in 2007. The change in departmental expenses as a percent of total revenue is primarily due to the mix and nature of the business of the two recently-acquired Renaissance hotels, which are both resort properties. ADR at the two recently-acquired hotels was 60% higher than the remainder of the portfolio in the six months ended June 30, 2008, which was the principal reason for the improvement in rooms expense as a percentage of total revenue. Food and beverage generally has significantly higher expenses as a percent of revenue than room revenue and, the two Renaissance hotels contributed nearly 25% of our food and beverage revenue during the six months ended June 30, 2008.

 

In the six months ended June 30, 2008, other property-related costs increased $16.6 million compared to the same period in 2007, of which $12.1 million related to the two recently-acquired Renaissance hotels. As a percentage of total revenue, other property operating costs decreased from 26.6% to 25.7% compared to the same period in 2007. This improvement reflects decreased repairs and maintenance costs (as a consequence of our recent renovation program) as a percentage of revenue.

 

In the six months ended June 30, 2008, management and franchise fees increased $4.8 million compared to the same period in 2007, of which $3.1 million resulted from increases in revenue and $1.7 million related to the two recently-acquired hotels. There was no change in management and franchise fees as a percentage of revenue in the six months ended June 30, 2008 compared to the same period in 2007.

In the six months ended June 30, 2008, taxes, insurance and lease expense decreased $2.5 million compared to the same period in 2007. The change from the prior year primarily relates to a decrease of $3.6 million in percentage rent expense due to the resetting of several of our percentage leases in late 2007 at more favorable terms for our consolidated hotel lessees and a decrease of $1.2 million in property taxes largely from reduced assessed values and successful resolution of estimated property tax accruals related to prior years, partially offset by the taxes, insurance and lease expense related to the two recently-acquired Renaissance hotels of $2.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008.

 

Corporate expenses remained essentially unchanged in the six months ended June 30, 2008 compared to the same period in 2007.

 

In the six months ended June 30, 2008, depreciation and amortization expense increased $16.6 million, compared to the same period in 2007, of which increase $3.6 million related to the two recently-acquired Renaissance hotels, and the rest of the increase is attributed to increased depreciation associated with $227.5 million of the hotel capital expenditures incurred in 2007.

 

In the first quarter of 2008, we identified six hotels as candidates to be sold. We tested these hotels for impairment under the provisions of SFAS No. 144 using undiscounted estimated cash flows over a revised estimated remaining hold period. Of the hotels tested, two hotels failed the test under SFAS No. 144, which resulted in an impairment charge during the first quarter ended March 31, 2008 of $17.1 million to write down these hotel assets to our current estimate of their fair market value before selling expenses.

 

Net interest expense included in continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2008 increased $4.7 million compared to the same period in 2007. This increase was primarily attributable to (i) a $1.7 million decrease in interest income due to lower cash balances and interest rates earned on those balances; (ii) a $4.2 million increase in interest expense related to the mortgage debt on the acquired hotels; (iii) a $2.1 million reduction in capitalized interest from lower renovation-related construction in progress balances; and (iv) partially offset by decreases in interest rates on floating rate debt compared to the first six months of 2007.

 

Equity in income from unconsolidated entities decreased by $14.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2008 compared to the same period in 2007, primarily due to $11.2 million of income received from the gain on the sale of an unconsolidated hotel during the first quarter of 2007 and resetting several percentage leases in late 2007 at less favorable terms for our unconsolidated hotel lessors.

 

During the first six months of 2008, we finally settled insurance claims relating to 2005 hurricane losses and realized a $3.1 million gain from involuntary conversion.

 

          During the six months of 2007, we finalized the sale of 177 of the 184 units at our Royale Palms condominium project and recognized an $18.1 million gain on sale under the completed contract method.

 

Discontinued operations for the six months ended June 30, 2007, included operating income of $8.4 million, $0.9 million of charges related to early debt repayment, and $1.8 million of minority interest expense related to the eleven hotels we sold in 2007. Discontinued operations also included $28.5 million of gains related to the sale of ten hotels during the first six months of 2007.

 

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

We refer in this report to certain “non-GAAP financial measures.” These measures, including FFO, Same-Store FFO, Same-Store EBITDA, Same-Store Hotel EBITDA and Hotel EBITDA margin, are measures of our financial performance that are not calculated and presented in accordance with 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 diminish 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, 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 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, or 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.

 

          To derive same-store comparisons, we have adjusted FFO and 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 hotel 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, using these measures facilitates 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 into the ongoing operational performance of our hotels and the effectiveness of management on a property-level basis. We eliminate depreciation and amortization because, even though depreciation and amortization are property-level expenses, 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 diminishes 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, EBITDA, Hotel EBITDA and Hotel EBITDA margin, as presented by us, may not be comparable to FFO, 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, interest and 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 most comparable 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, FFO per share or EBITDA be considered as measures of our liquidity or indicative of funds available for our cash needs, including our ability to make cash distributions or service our debt. FFO per share should not be used as a measure of amounts that accrue directly to the benefit of stockholders. FFO, 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 a single financial measure.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Hotel operations provide most of the cash needed to meet our cash requirements, including distributions to stockholders and repayments of indebtedness. For the six months ended June 30, 2008, net cash flow provided by operating activities, consisting primarily of hotel operations, was $97.6 million. At June 30, 2008, we had $71 million of cash on hand, including approximately $47 million held under management agreements to meet minimum working capital requirements.

 

We declared and paid a $0.35 per share common dividend for both the first and second quarter of 2008. Based on our recently revised forecasts for the second half of the year and limited visibility for 2009, we intend to lower our common dividend payment to $0.15 per share effective the third quarter of 2008. 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. The dividend reduction would equate to annual cash flow savings of approximately $50 million. Our board of directors will determine the amount of future common and preferred dividends for each quarter, based upon the actual operating results for that quarter, economic conditions, other operating trends, our financial condition and capital requirements, as well as the minimum REIT distribution requirements.

 

We currently expect to have approximately $179 million to $185 million of cash flow from operating activities for 2008. This forecast assumes that RevPAR increases between 4.0% and 5.0% and Hotel EBITDA margin increases of approximately 50 basis points. Our current operating plan for 2008 contemplates that we will make aggregate common dividend payments of $80 million, preferred dividend payments of $39 million and normal recurring principal payments of $22 million, leaving surplus cash flow (before capital expenditures or additional debt reduction) of approximately $38 to $44 million. In 2008, we plan to spend approximately $150 million for capital expenditures, which will be funded from cash and borrowings under our line of credit. In July 2008, we repaid our maturing $15.5 million mortgage note with borrowing under our line of credit, and we have no remaining scheduled debt maturities until 2009.

 

          We are subject to increases in hotel operating expenses, including wage and benefit costs, repair and maintenance expenses, utilities and insurance expenses, that can fluctuate disproportionately to revenues. Operating expenses are difficult to predict and control, which lends volatility in our operating results. If our hotel RevPAR decreases and/or Hotel EBITDA margins shrink, our operations, earnings and/or cash flow could suffer a material adverse effect.

 

Debt

 

 

Line of Credit

At June 30, 2008, we had borrowings of $45 million outstanding under our $250 million line of credit. The interest rate on our line of credit was LIBOR plus 0.80% at June 30, 2008.

 

Mortgage Debt

At June 30, 2008, we had $947 million of debt secured by mortgages on our hotels. With respect to two of these loans, we are permitted to retain 115% of budgeted hotel operating expenses, but the remaining revenues would become subject to a lock-box arrangement if a specified debt service coverage ratio is not met. These hotels currently exceed the minimum debt service coverage ratio; however, under the terms of the loan agreements, the lock-box provisions remain in place until the loan is repaid. None of these hotels have ever fallen below the applicable debt service coverage ratio.

 

          With respect to the mortgage debt assumed in connection with our acquisitions of the Renaissance Vinoy Resort & Golf Club and Renaissance Esmeralda Resort & Spa, all cash from the hotels in excess of operating expenses, taxes, insurance and capital expenditure reserves is subject to lock-box arrangements. In each case, the lender holds lock-box funds that are first applied to meet current debt service obligations, and any excess funds are held in the lock-box account until the relevant hotel meets or exceeds a debt service coverage ratio of 1:1. At June 30, 2008, the debt service coverage ratio for both hotels exceeded 1:1.

 

35

 

 


Our hotel mortgage debt is non-recourse to us and most contain provisions allowing for the substitution of collateral upon satisfaction of certain conditions. Most of our mortgage debt is prepayable, subject to various prepayment, yield maintenance or defeasance obligations.

 

           Senior Notes. Our publicly-traded senior notes require that we satisfy total leverage, secured leverage and interest coverage tests in order to: incur additional indebtedness except to refinance maturing debt with replacement debt, as defined under our indentures; pay dividends in excess of the minimum dividend required to meet the REIT qualification test; repurchase capital stock; or merge. As of the date of this filing, we have satisfied all such tests. Under the terms of one of our indentures, we are prohibited from repurchasing any of our capital stock, whether common or preferred, subject to certain exceptions, so long as our debt-to-EBITDA ratio, as defined in the indentures, exceeds 4.85 to 1, which it does at the date of this filing. If we were unable to continue to satisfy the incurrence test under the indentures governing our senior unsecured notes, we may be prohibited from, among other things, incurring any additional indebtedness (other than our line of credit), except under certain specific exceptions,or paying dividends on our preferred or common stock, except to the extent necessary to satisfy the REIT qualification requirement that we distribute currently at least 90% of our taxable income.

 

We currently anticipate that we will meet our financial covenant and incurrence tests based on current RevPAR expectations. For 2008, we currently anticipate that our full year 2008 portfolio RevPAR will be 4.0% to 5.0% higher than 2007.

 

Other Debt. In late 2007, we were notified that a AAA-rated money market fund in which we had invested approximately $8.4 million had ceased honoring redemption requests and would liquidate its investments over approximately a six-month period. In order to ensure that our liquidity would not be impaired as a consequence, an affiliate of the fund sponsor provided us with a short-term loan at a rate approximately equal to our earnings rate on the fund. Through the date of this filing we have received redemptions aggregating $4.3 million and in July 2008 have repaid the short-term loan.

 

Interest Rate Caps. To fulfill requirements under certain loans, we owned interest rate caps with aggregate notional amounts of $427.2 million at both June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007. These interest rate cap agreements were not designated as hedges and have insignificant fair values at both June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, resulting in no significant net earnings impact.

 

Inflation

 

          Operators of hotels, in general, possess the ability to adjust room rates daily to reflect the effects of inflation. Competition may, however, require us to reduce room rates in the near term and may limit our ability to raise room rates in the future. We are also subject to the risk that inflation will cause increases in hotel operating expenses disproportionately to revenues. If competition requires us to reduce room rates or limits our ability to raise room rates in the future, we may not be able to adjust our room rates to reflect the effects of inflation in full, in which case our operating results and liquidity could be adversely affected.

 

Seasonality  The lodging business is seasonal in nature. Generally, hotel revenues are greater in the second and third calendar quarters than in the first and fourth calendar quarters, although this may not be true for hotels in major tourist destinations. Revenues for hotels in tourist areas generally are substantially greater during tourist season than other times of the year. Seasonal variations in revenue at our hotels can be expected to cause quarterly fluctuations in our revenues. Quarterly earnings also may be adversely affected by events beyond our control, such as extreme weather conditions, economic factors and other considerations affecting travel. To the extent that cash flow from operations is insufficient during any quarter, due to temporary or seasonal fluctuations in revenues, we may utilize cash on hand or borrowings to satisfy our obligations or make distributions to our equity holders.

Other Information

 

On July 31, 2008, our Board amended and restated our bylaws, among other things, to address recent developments in corporate governance, to conform our bylaws to the requirements of Maryland law, and to make certain other technical corrections and amendments. Among the changes effected by the amendment are the following: (i) requiring stockholders submitting proposals to disclose any hedging or similar transactions or agreements in an effort to add transparency to such stockholders’ actual economic interest in the Company; (ii) revising the vote required to take action on all matters to conform to Maryland law, such that a majority of votes cast at a meeting at which a quorum is present is sufficient to pass an action; (iii) establishing rules of conduct governing meetings, which rules are consistent with past practice and standards of good governance; and (iv) clarifying the mechanical procedures that stockholders seeking to call a special meeting must follow to comply with Maryland law. The foregoing summary does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of FelCor’s Bylaws that is being filed with this report as Exhibit 4.2 and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Also on July 31, 2008, the Compensation Committee of our Board recommended, and our Board adopted, changes to our equity incentive compensation plan. As previously reported, our equity incentive compensation plan consists of the grant of restricted stock to our officers, including our named executive officers and the Chairman of our Board of Directors, on an annual basis. Upon reviewing our methodology for equity-based compensation and upon soliciting the guidance of an independent consulting firm to evaluate our current structure both relative to our peers and on an absolute basis to ensure we were achieving our desired goals, the Compensation Committee has determined to modify our long-term incentive strategy to incorporate performance measures exclusively in connection with determining the number of shares of restricted stock to be granted. Under the revised program, the Compensation Committee will adopt a performance measure for the Company early each year, and the Company’s

performance for that year partially will determine the number of shares to be granted to each recipient the following year. Once granted, any shares earned would vest ratably over three years. With respect to the performance measures, the Compensation Committee has decided to look exclusively to adjusted funds from operations (“AFFO”), which it believes correlates to the strategic and operating objectives established by our Board.

 

Under the amended plan, the number of shares to be granted will continue to be based upon the established percentage of the recipient’s base salary, as previously adopted by the Compensation Committee. One half of the shares will be exclusively time-based, without reference to performance, and will vest ratably over a three-year period. The other half would be granted in the form of performance-based awards that, once granted, would also vest ratably over three years. The sole performance criteria will be attainment of our annual AFFO criteria. (The Compensation Committee annually determines AFFO threshold, target, and stretch performance levels.) If the Company achieves its targeted performance, a recipient will be granted 100% of his or her performance-based award. If performance is at or below the threshold level, a recipient will be granted 50% of his or her performance-based award. If performance meets or exceeds the stretch level, a recipient will be granted 150% of his or her performance-based award. Where performance falls between threshold and stretch AFFO, the performance-based award earned will be determined by linear interpolation between 50% and 150% of the target award. In that way, participants share equally in the downside risk and upside reward if the Company falls below or exceeds targeted performance. A summary of the equity incentive compensation plan, as amended, is being filed with this report as Exhibit 10.2 and is incorporated herein by reference.
