FCH Felcor Lodging Trust Incorporated (delisted)

FelCor Lodging Trust Incorporated (NYSE: FCH), today reported operating results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2013.

Highlights:

• RevPAR for 45 core hotels increased 6.7%.
• Total revenue increased 6.1%, driven by a 5.5% increase in RevPAR at 65 same-store hotels.
• Same-store Adjusted EBITDA was $37.7 million, a 13.3% increase.
• Adjusted FFO per share improved to a loss of $0.01 and net loss per share was $0.29.
• Currently under negotiations or have agreed to sell six non-strategic hotels.

Commenting on operating results, Richard A. Smith, President and Chief Executive Officer of FelCor, said, “I am very pleased with our performance during the quarter. Our high quality, diverse portfolio continues to produce strong results. Industry fundamentals remain very favorable, as demand growth remains robust and supply growth remains historically low. We expect these trends to continue for the foreseeable future, which will provide favorable conditions for sustained RevPAR growth.”

Added Mr. Smith, “We continue to make substantial progress toward completing the transformation and repositioning of FelCor, building a first-class REIT and driving stockholder value. We have sold 19 of 39 non-strategic hotels, with six more either under contract or in negotiations. Our portfolio has improved significantly, as more than 90% of our EBITDA is now generated by upper upscale and luxury hotels strategically located around the country in gateway and resort markets with high barriers-to-entry and dynamic demand generators. We have also strengthened our balance sheet significantly. As asset sales continue and EBITDA increases, we are building greater financial flexibility and leverage will continue to decline.”

          First Quarter $ in millions, except for per share information 2013       2012       Change Total revenue $ 220.7 $ 208.0 6.1 % Same-store Adjusted EBITDA $ 37.7 $ 33.3 13.3 % Adjusted EBITDA $ 37.7 $ 41.4 (9.0 )% Adjusted FFO per share $ (0.01 ) $ (0.02 ) $ 0.01 Net loss per share $ (0.29 ) $ (0.31 ) $ 0.02  

Revenue per available room (“RevPAR”) for 65 same-store hotels was $100.17, a 5.5% increase compared to the same period in 2012. The increase reflects a 5.0% increase in average daily rate (“ADR”) to $143.90 and a 30 basis point increase in occupancy to 69.6%. RevPAR for our 45 core hotels increased 6.7%, while RevPAR for our 20 non-strategic hotels increased 1.2%. RevPAR at the six newly-acquired and recently-redeveloped hotels increased 17.8% during the quarter. Total revenue increased 6.1% from the same period in 2012.

Hotel EBITDA was $48.0 million, 8.3% higher than the same period in 2012. Hotel EBITDA margin was 21.8% during the quarter, a 44 basis point increase from the same period in 2012. Adjusted EBITDA (which includes Adjusted EBITDA for sold hotels prior to sale) was $37.7 million compared to $41.4 million for the same period in 2012.

Total revenue for our 45 core hotels increased 7.7% compared to the same period in 2012, driven by a 6.7% increase in RevPAR to $106.16. The increase in RevPAR reflects a 6.0% increase in ADR to $154.23 and a 40 basis point increase in occupancy to 68.8%. Hotel EBITDA at our core hotels increased 12.6% to $37.0 million. Hotel EBITDA margin at our core hotels was 21.0% during the quarter, a 91 basis point increase compared to the same period in 2012.

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, same-store Adjusted EBITDA, Hotel EBITDA, Hotel EBITDA margin, FFO, Adjusted FFO and Adjusted FFO per share are all non-GAAP financial measures. See our discussion of “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” beginning on page 18 for a reconciliation of each of these measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measure and for information regarding the use, limitations and importance of these non-GAAP financial measures.

Portfolio Repositioning:

To date, we have sold 19 of 39 non-strategic hotels as part of our portfolio repositioning plan. We are currently marketing 11 non-strategic hotels and are evaluating offers or have agreed to sell six of those, including one under contract. We will use the proceeds from dispositions to repay debt and reduce leverage. The other nine non-strategic hotels are owned by joint ventures, and we are progressing on discussions with our partners to facilitate marketing those properties.

In March, we successfully re-branded and transitioned management at eight Holiday Inn hotels to Wyndham brands. Wyndham Worldwide Corporation is providing a $100 million guaranty over the 10-year term of the agreement, with an annual guaranty of up to $21.5 million, that ensures a minimum annual NOI for the eight hotels. In addition, the management fee structure is more consistent with prevailing industry practices, and we expect to save approximately $50 million in management fees over the initial term. The guaranty protects approximately 20% of our core hotel-level EBITDA from future lodging cycle fluctuations, in addition to ensuring a return on investment that is superior to the hotels' historical performance.

Capital Expenditures:

Capital expenditures at our operating hotels (including our pro rata share of joint ventures), were $23.5 million during the quarter (including approximately $6.4 million for redevelopment projects and repositioning the eight Wyndham hotels).

During 2013, we anticipate investing approximately $65 million on capital improvements and renovations, concentrated mostly at seven hotels, as part of our 20-year capital plan. In addition, we anticipate investing approximately $40 million on redevelopment projects (excluding Knickerbocker) and repositioning the Wyndham hotels. Please see page 12 of this release for more detail on renovations.

Through March 31, 2013, we have spent $35 million to redevelop the 4+ star Knickerbocker Hotel, in midtown Manhattan. The project remains on budget and is scheduled to open in early 2014.

Balance Sheet:

At March 31, 2013, we had $1.7 billion of consolidated debt bearing a weighted-average interest rate of 6.3% (approximately 120 basis points below last year). Our debt has a weighted-average maturity of seven years, and none of our debt matures before June 2014. We had $61.8 million of cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2013. In addition, at March 31, 2013 we had $77.1 million of restricted cash, of which $64.9 million secures our Knickerbocker construction loan.

Andrew J. Welch, FelCor's Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, said, “Our balance sheet is stronger today because of our low borrowing costs, extended weighted-average debt maturity and ample liquidity. We are committed to making our balance sheet even stronger, as we repay higher-cost debt with net sale proceeds, further improve our maturity profile and continue to reduce our overall leverage.”

Outlook:

Our 2013 outlook assumes continued strength in lodging fundamentals and has been updated to reflect first quarter results and timing of asset sales. Our outlook reflects selling all 11 hotels during 2013. The low-end of our outlook assumes all sales occur in June, and the high-end of our outlook assumes all sales close at the beginning of the fourth quarter.

During 2013, we anticipate:

• Same-store RevPAR to increase between 5-6%;
• Adjusted EBITDA to be between $190.5 million and $205.0 million;
• Adjusted FFO per share to be between $0.33 and $0.43;
• Net loss attributable to FelCor to be between $59 million and $51 million; and
• Interest expense, including pro rata share of joint ventures, to be between $104 million and $106 million.

The following table reconciles our 2013 Adjusted EBITDA to Same-store Adjusted EBITDA outlook (in millions):

      Low     High Previous Adjusted EBITDA Outlook (65 hotels) $ 203.5 $ 208.5 Improved Operations 0.5   —   Adjusted EBITDA Outlook (65 hotels) $ 204.0 $ 208.5   EBITDA of sold hotels from closing to December 31(a) (13.5 ) (3.5 ) Adjusted EBITDA Outlook (54 hotels) $ 190.5 $ 205.0 Discontinued Operations(b) (12.5 ) (22.5 ) Same-store Adjusted EBITDA (54 hotels) $ 178.0   $ 182.5

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We refer in this release to certain “non-GAAP financial measures.” These measures, including FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, same-store 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 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 (loss) attributable to FelCor as a measure of our operating performance.

FFO and EBITDA

The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) defines FFO as net income or loss attributable to parent (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains or losses from sales of property, plus depreciation, amortization and impairment losses. FFO for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures are calculated 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 attributable to parent (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 items 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 attributable to FelCor, EBITDA and FFO, is beneficial to an investor’s better understanding of our operating performance.

• Gains and losses related to extinguishment of debt and interest rate swaps - We exclude gains and losses related to 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.
• 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.
• Other transaction costs - From time to time, we periodically incur costs that are not indicative of ongoing operating performance. Such costs include, but are not limited to, conversion costs, acquisition costs, pre-opening costs and severance costs. We exclude these costs from the calculation of Adjusted FFO and Adjusted EBITDA.
• Variable stock compensation - We exclude the cost associated with our variable stock compensation. This cost is subject to volatility related to the price and dividends of our common stock that does not necessarily correspond to our operating performance.

In addition, to derive Adjusted EBITDA, we exclude gains or losses on the sale of depreciable assets and impairment losses because including them in EBITDA is inconsistent with reporting the ongoing performance of our remaining assets. Additionally, the gain or loss on sale of depreciable assets and impairment losses represents either accelerated depreciation or excess depreciation in previous periods, and depreciation is excluded from EBITDA. We also exclude the amortization of our fixed stock and directors’ compensation. While this amortization is included in corporate expenses and is not separately stated on our statement of operations, excluding this amortization is consistent with the EBITDA definition.

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 brand/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 that we use 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 in a manner consistent with Adjusted EBITDA, however, we also eliminate all revenues and expenses from continuing operations not directly associated with hotel operations, including other income and corporate-level expenses. We eliminate these additional items 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 also eliminate consolidated percentage rent paid to unconsolidated entities, which is effectively eliminated by noncontrolling interests 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 Consolidated Hotels. Hotel EBITDA and Hotel EBITDA margins are presented on a same-store basis.

Use and Limitations of Non-GAAP Measures

Our management and Board of Directors use FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Same-store Adjusted EBITDA, Hotel EBITDA and Hotel EBITDA margin to evaluate the performance of our hotels and to facilitate comparisons between us and other 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. These non-GAAP financial measures as presented by us, may not be comparable to non-GAAP financial measures as calculated by other real estate companies. These measures do not reflect certain expenses or expenditures 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. These non-GAAP financial measures 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.
