“We are pleased to have delivered industry-leading RevPAR growth in 2015 and for the last eight years. We have created a high-quality and diverse portfolio that we fully expect will continue to outperform the industry,” said Richard A. Smith, President and Chief Executive Officer of FelCor.

Mr. Smith added, “We are committed to maximizing long-term stockholder value, which includes eliminating the disparity between asset value and our stock price. As such, we recently began marketing five hotels for sale. The sale of these hotels will reduce leverage significantly, mitigate operational risk and provide substantial capacity to repurchase our stock at a significant discount to intrinsic value. We are making excellent progress executing our strategy, which will further benefit our long-term stockholders.”

Year-to-Date Operating Results

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 15 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.

Capital Allocation

We continually strive to increase long-term stockholder value through prudent capital allocation. As part of this on-going pursuit, we look for opportunities to recycle capital that can be redeployed to strengthen our balance sheet and achieve higher returns.

Asset Sales

In 2015, we announced the next phase of our long-term strategic plan. As part of this plan, we are selling five of our hotels, including our three New York City properties. Given these hotels’ locations and quality, we expect to sell them for prices per key that reflect very attractive EBITDA multiples. We have agreed to sell the Holiday Inn Nashville Airport and received a letter of intent to sell two other hotels (Morgans and Royalton) at compelling prices. We are in discussions with potential buyers for the two remaining properties - The Knickerbocker and the Renaissance Esmeralda Indian Wells Resort & Spa.

Balance Sheet

As of December 31, 2015, we had $1.4 billion of consolidated debt bearing a 5.2% weighted-average interest rate and an eight-year weighted-average maturity. We had $59.8 million of cash and cash equivalents and $17.7 million of restricted cash.

“We continue creating a strong balance sheet that will enable us to thrive throughout lodging cycles. After completing planned asset sales, we expect our pro forma leverage will be below 4.0 times, down from 8.2 times in 2010. We have successfully extended our already best-in-class debt maturity profile. Excluding our line of credit, we have no significant maturities until 2022, and more than 90% of our debt is fixed, insulating us from rising rates,” said Michael C. Hughes, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of FelCor.

Stock Repurchase Program

In 2015, our Board approved a $100 million stock repurchase program, which we implemented in December. To-date, we have purchased 4.3 million shares for $29.0 million (at an average price of $6.68 per share). We intend to continue repurchasing our common stock while it trades at a significant discount to NAV and expect the $100 million program to increase in conjunction with the contemplated asset sales.

Common Dividend

During the fourth quarter, we increased our common stock dividend by 50% to $0.06 per share. Our Board of Directors will determine future quarterly common stock dividends based on funds available for distribution, reinvestment opportunities within our portfolio and taxable income, among other things.

Capital Expenditures

During the fourth quarter, we invested $15.6 million in capital improvements at our hotels. During 2015, we invested $85.7 million at our hotels, including $33.5 million at The Knickerbocker. During 2016, we plan to invest approximately $60 million in capital improvements and renovations as part of our long-term capital plan. In addition, we expect to invest approximately $15 million in redevelopment projects this year.

Outlook

We continue to expect that our RevPAR growth will exceed the industry average because of our high-quality and diverse portfolio, which is over-weighted to supply constrained markets with favorable demand trends.

Our outlook assumes that we sell the five hotels in 2016 that we are currently marketing. The low-end of our guidance assumes that we sell three hotels in the second quarter and the remaining two in the third quarter. The high-end of our guidance assumes that we sell all five hotels during the fourth quarter. Our outlook assumes Hotel EBITDA for the Wyndham hotels equals the amount guaranteed by Wyndham for 2016 (which corresponds to approximately $59 million of Hotel EBITDA).

For the year, we expect:

• RevPAR for same-store hotels will increase 3.5-5.5%;
• Adjusted EBITDA will be $238.0 million - $256.0 million;
• Adjusted FFO per share will be $0.90 - $0.99;
• Net income attributable to FelCor will be $35.6 million - $49.0 million; and
• Interest expense, including our pro rata share from joint ventures, will be $77.0 million - $81.6 million.

The following table reconciles our Adjusted EBITDA outlook (in millions):

  Low   Middle   High 2015 Same-store Adjusted EBITDA (39 hotels) $ 228.2   $ 228.2   $ 228.2 Growth(a)   20.8       24.8       28.8   Current Adjusted EBITDA (40 hotels) $ 249.0 $ 253.0 $ 257.0

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 Funds From Operations (“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.

Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“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 expenses and costs - From time to time, we periodically incur expenses or transaction costs that are not indicative of ongoing operating performance. Such costs include, but are not limited to, conversion costs, acquisition costs, pre-opening costs, severance costs and certain non-cash adjustments. 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, which is included in corporate expenses and is not separately stated on our statements of operations. Excluding amortization of our fixed stock and directors’ compensation maintains consistency 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

We 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. As we present them, these non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similar non-GAAP financial measures as presented 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. We compensate 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. We strongly encourage investors to review our financial information in its entirety and not to rely on a single financial measure.
