FCH Felcor Lodging Trust Incorporated (delisted)

FelCor Lodging Trust Incorporated (NYSE: FCH) today reported results for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2016.

Fourth Quarter Highlights

• Same-store RevPAR decreased 2.0% compared to the same period in 2015.
• Net loss attributable to FelCor common stockholders was $6.2 million ($0.04 per share) versus $10.4 million ($0.07 per share) for the same period in 2015.
• Adjusted FFO per share increased 13.3% to $0.17 from the same period in 2015.
• Adjusted EBITDA increased $1.4 million to $51.4 million from the same period in 2015.

“On behalf of the entire team, we are very pleased to extend a warm welcome to Steve Goldman, who will join us next week as FelCor’s new CEO. Steve is a terrific industry leader who brings to FelCor extensive experience in all aspects of hotel operations, acquisitions and divestitures, finance and development that will add measurably to our prospects for future success. We are looking forward to working with him as we continue to build value for stockholders,” said Troy A. Pentecost, FelCor’s President, Interim Senior Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer.

Mr. Pentecost continued, “We had a productive quarter on several fronts. Despite a decline in revenues, we beat our Adjusted FFO and Adjusted EBITDA expectations for the fourth quarter. We also successfully completed negotiations with Hilton with respect to new management agreements for 18 of our properties. The new management agreements shift a substantial portion of fees from fixed base fees to variable incentive fees, which are payable only after achieving a base return on our invested capital. This new fee structure better aligns Hilton’s interest with our economic interest. We also negotiated comprehensive, long-term renovation plans at the affected hotels that allow us to deploy our capital more efficiently. We are excited to extend our strong relationship with Hilton, and we are confident the new agreements will help us achieve meaningful returns on these assets.”

   

Fourth Quarter Hotel Results

  Fourth Quarter 2016     2015     Change Same-store hotels (37) RevPAR $ 135.04 $ 137.86 (2.0 )% Total hotel revenue, in millions $ 182.1 $ 186.5 (2.4 )% Hotel EBITDA, in millions $ 52.2 $ 54.0 (3.3 )% Hotel EBITDA margin 28.7 % 28.9 % (27) bps  

RevPAR for our 37 same-store hotels decreased 2.0% (to $135.04) from the same period in 2015. The change reflects a 1.2% increase in average daily rate, or ADR, (to $184.46) and a 3.2% decline in occupancy (to 73.2%). We continued to face headwinds during the fourth quarter that negatively impacted revenues. Hurricane Matthew, which struck the East Coast in early October, resulted in the mandatory evacuation of four of our hotels and five condominium towers. In addition, we continued to experience weak supply and demand fundamentals in certain markets (mainly Miami, Houston, New York and San Francisco), which account for approximately 30% of our available room nights. Despite weakness in certain markets, we continued focusing our revenue management efforts on rate growth versus occupancy.

Wyndham Worldwide Corporation has guaranteed minimum annual NOI for eight of our hotels over the 10-year term of their management agreements. Hotel EBITDA for the three months ended December 31, 2016 includes $2.0 million in fee reductions related to the Wyndham guaranty compared to $180,000 during the same period last year.

See pages 12-13 and 18-23 for more detailed operating data.

   

Fourth Quarter Operating Results

  Fourth Quarter $ in millions, except for per share information 2016     2015     Change Net loss attributable to FelCor common stockholders $ (6.2 ) $ (10.4 ) 41.1 % Net loss per share $ (0.04 ) $ (0.07 ) $ 0.03 Same-store Adjusted EBITDA $ 47.4 $ 49.3 (3.9 )% Adjusted EBITDA $ 51.4 $ 50.0 2.7 % Adjusted FFO per share $ 0.17 $ 0.15 $ 0.02  

Full Year Operating Results

Net loss attributable to common stockholders was $21.6 million ($0.16 per share) in 2016, compared to $45.1 million ($0.33 per share) for the same period in 2015. Net loss in 2016 includes impairment charges of $26.5 million attributable to two hotels (one of which was sold in 2016) and a $6.9 million charge for severance costs. These charges are partially offset by a $3.2 million net gain on hotel sales (including a $3.1 million loss in discontinued operations). Net loss in 2015 included $30.9 million in debt extinguishment charges, a $20.9 million impairment charge for a property subsequently sold in 2016 and a $3.7 million charge for severance costs, partially offset by a $20.1 million net gain on the sale of consolidated hotels (including $658,000 in discontinued operations) and a $7.1 million gain on the sale of a hotel owned by an unconsolidated joint venture.

RevPAR for our 37 same-store hotels increased 0.9% (to $150.11) from the same period in 2015. The change reflects a 1.8% increase in ADR (to $191.14) and a 0.9% decline in occupancy (to 78.5%). Hotel EBITDA for our 37 same-store hotels increased by 0.6% to $238.8 million, and Hotel EBITDA margin was 30.6%, a 16 basis point decrease. Hotel EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 2016 includes $5.3 million in fee reductions related to the Wyndham guaranty compared to $1.4 million during the same period last year.

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 14 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.

Balance Sheet

As of December 31, 2016, we had $1.3 billion of consolidated debt with a 5.4% weighted-average interest rate and a six-year weighted-average maturity. We had $47.3 million of cash and cash equivalents on hand and $19.5 million of restricted cash. We reduced our consolidated debt by $74 million and our leverage ratio from 6.0x at December 31, 2015 to 5.6x at December 31, 2016. In 2016, Moody’s upgraded our corporate credit rating to B2, which reflects continued progress with respect to strengthening our balance sheet and improving our credit metrics.

Asset Sales

In 2016, we sold the Renaissance Esmeralda Indian Wells Resort and the Holiday Inn Nashville Airport for $108.0 million total gross proceeds. We used proceeds from these sales to repay our line of credit. We continue to market our three New York hotels.

Stock Repurchase Program

In 2015, our Board approved a $100 million stock repurchase program, which we began implementing in December 2015. To date, we have purchased 6.6 million shares for $44.8 million (at an average price of $6.78 per share).

Common Dividend

We declared a fourth quarter $0.06 per share common stock dividend, which we paid at the end of January. 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

In 2016, we renovated two hotels (Embassy Suites - Dallas Love Field and Embassy Suites - Orlando International Drive South/Convention Center) and began redeveloping two resort properties (The Vinoy Renaissance St. Petersburg Resort & Golf Club and Embassy Suites Myrtle Beach-Oceanfront Resort), which included the construction of significant improvements to our resort amenities. We expect these renovations and redevelopments will enhance the quality of our portfolio and offer attractive returns. We spent $74.6 million on renovations and redevelopments at our hotels during 2016. We continue to underwrite and evaluate future renovations and redevelopments.

Outlook

Our outlook assumes the Morgans sale is completed during the second quarter of 2017 and Royalton and The Knickerbocker are sold during the fourth quarter of 2017 for the low-end of guidance. We are assuming no sales for the high-end of guidance. Our outlook assumes Hotel EBITDA for the Wyndham hotels equals the amount guaranteed by Wyndham for 2017, which corresponds to approximately 25% of our Adjusted EBITDA.

For 2017, we expect:

• Net income attributable to FelCor will be $33.9 - 40.4 million;
• RevPAR for same-store hotels will increase 0.5 - 2.5%;
• Adjusted EBITDA with asset sales will be $224.0 - 236.0 million;
• Adjusted FFO per share will be $0.83 - 0.90; and
• Interest expense, including our pro rata share from joint ventures, will be $76.3 - 78.5 million.

        Low     High 2017 Adjusted EBITDA (38 hotels) $ 229.0 $ 236.0 2017 EBITDA lost from hotels to be sold(a)   (5.0 )       — 2017 Adjusted EBITDA with asset sales $ 224.0       $ 236.0 (a)   Adjusted EBITDA for the three New York hotels currently being marketed from the respective sale dates to December 31, 2017.

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 is 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 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 Adjusted FFO and Adjusted 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 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 brands/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 regarding 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 hotel 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, and 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 any single financial measure.
