BETHESDA, Md., July 22 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Host Hotels &
Resorts, Inc. (NYSE:HST), the nation's largest lodging real estate
investment trust (REIT), today announced its results of operations
for the second quarter ended June 19, 2009. (Logo:
http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20060417/HOSTLOGO ) -- Total
revenue decreased $324 million, or 23.3%, to $1,064 million for the
second quarter and $494 million, or 20.3%, to $1,936 million for
year-to-date 2009 as compared to last year. -- Net loss was $69
million for the second quarter of 2009 compared to net income of
$193 million for the second quarter of 2008. For year-to-date 2009,
net loss was $129 million compared to net income of $256 million
for year-to-date 2008. Loss per diluted share was $.12 for the
second quarter of 2009 compared to earnings per diluted share of
$.34 in 2008. For year-to-date 2009, loss per diluted share was
$.24 compared to earnings per diluted share of $.45 for
year-to-date 2008. Operating results for the periods presented were
affected by several items including: -- non-cash impairment charges
recorded on four hotels and the Company's investment in its
European joint venture of $91 million and $131 million for second
quarter and year-to-date 2009, respectively; -- non-cash interest
expense in 2008 and 2009 due to an accounting change implemented
retrospectively in the first quarter of 2009 related to the
Company's exchangeable debentures; and -- gains associated with
hotel dispositions and other items. The net effect of these items
on loss per diluted share for the second quarter of 2009 was a
decrease in earnings of $89 million, or $.16 per diluted share. For
the second quarter of 2008, these items increased earnings by $6
million, or $.01 per diluted share. The net effect of these items
was a decrease in earnings of $117 million, or $.21 per diluted
share, and $4 million, or $.01 per diluted share, for year-to-date
2009 and 2008, respectively. -- Funds from Operations (FFO) per
diluted share was $.12 for the second quarter of 2009 compared to
$.55 per diluted share for the second quarter of 2008. FFO per
diluted share was also affected by the non-cash interest expense,
non-cash impairment charges and other items described above. The
net effect of these items was a decrease in FFO per diluted share
of $.15 and $.01 for the second quarter 2009 and 2008,
respectively. For year-to-date 2009, FFO per diluted share was $.22
compared to $.88 per diluted share for year-to-date 2008. The net
effect the non-cash interest expense, non-cash impairment charges
and other items was a decrease in FFO per diluted share of $.24 and
$.01 for year-to-date 2009 and 2008, respectively. -- Adjusted
EBITDA, which is Earnings before Interest Expense, Income Taxes,
Depreciation, Amortization and other items, decreased $163 million
to $256 million for the second quarter, and $251 million to $430
million for year-to-date 2009 when compared to last year. For
further detail of the transactions affecting net income, earnings
per diluted share and FFO per diluted share, refer to the notes to
the "Reconciliation of Net Income to EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and
FFO per Diluted Share." Adjusted EBITDA, FFO per diluted share and
comparable hotel adjusted operating profit margins (discussed
below) are non-GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles)
financial measures within the meaning of the rules of the
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). See the discussion
included in this press release for information regarding these
non-GAAP financial measures. OPERATING RESULTS Comparable hotel
RevPAR for the second quarter of 2009 decreased 24.9% when compared
to the second quarter of 2008. Year-to-date 2009 comparable hotel
RevPAR decreased 22.7% when compared to year-to-date 2008.
Comparable hotel adjusted operating profit margins decreased 560
basis points and 500 basis points for the second quarter and
year-to-date 2009, respectively. For further detail, see "Notes to
the Financial Information." LIQUIDITY As of June 19, 2009, the
Company had over $1.3 billion of cash and cash equivalents and $600
million of available capacity under its credit facility. During the
second quarter, the Company completed two significant transactions
which enhanced its financial flexibility and liquidity. These
transactions were: -- the issuance of 75,750,000 shares of common
stock for net proceeds of approximately $480 million; and -- the
issuance of $400 million, 9% Series T senior notes maturing May 15,
2017 for net proceeds of approximately $380 million; The proceeds
from these transactions, when combined with the first quarter $120
million mortgage loan obtained on the JW Marriott, Washington D.C.
and the sale of the Hyatt Regency Boston for $113 million resulted
in total proceeds raised year-to-date of over $1.1 billion.
Subsequent to the end of the second quarter, we also disposed of
three non-core properties: the 253-room Washington Dulles Marriott
Suites, the 448-room Sheraton Stamford and the 430-room Boston
Marriott Newton, for net proceeds of approximately $64 million. The
proceeds from these transactions have been and will continue to be
used to repay or redeem near-term debt maturities and to maintain
higher than historical cash balances due to the current uncertainty
in the credit markets. During the second quarter, the Company
repaid $200 million outstanding under the revolver portion of the
credit facility. Additionally, subsequent to quarter end, the
Company repaid the $175 million mortgage debt secured by the San
Diego Marriott Hotel & Marina. As a result of these
transactions, the Company's remaining debt maturities total $480
million through year end 2010, which includes principal
amortization of $20 million. CAPITAL EXPENDITURES Capital
expenditures totaled approximately $84 million and $192 million for
the quarter and year-to-date, which was a decline of approximately
48% and 38%, respectively, from the prior year. These expenditures
included return on investment (ROI) and repositioning projects of
approximately $47 million and $101 million for the second quarter
and year-to-date 2009, respectively. DIVIDEND The Company intends
to declare a common dividend of approximately $.23 to $.25 per
share in the first half of September 2009. The common dividend is
expected to consist of cash in the amount of approximately $.03 per
share with the remainder to be paid in shares of common stock, both
of which will be taxable to stockholders. The common dividend will
be paid by the end of 2009. The Company intends to continue paying
a cash dividend on its preferred stock. 2009 OUTLOOK The Company's
ability to predict future operating results continues to be
significantly affected by the current recession and its effect on
business and leisure travel. The Company expects that the trends
affecting the economy will continue to depress hotel operating
results across the portfolio for the remainder of 2009. In the
event that comparable hotel RevPAR were to decline approximately
20% to 23% for the full year 2009, the Company would anticipate
that full year 2009 operating profit margins under GAAP would
decrease approximately 1,170 basis points to 1,290 basis points and
its comparable hotel adjusted operating profit margins would
decrease approximately 600 basis points to 650 basis points. Based
upon these parameters, the Company would estimate the following
would occur for full year 2009: -- loss per diluted share should be
approximately $.46 to $.53; -- net loss should be approximately
$267 million to $310 million; -- FFO per diluted share should be
approximately $.43 to $.50 (including the effect of the deduction
of $131 million in non-cash impairment charges and $26 million of
non-cash interest expense on the exchangeable debentures due to an
accounting change for 2009, or, in total, a reduction of $.25 per
diluted share); and -- Adjusted EBITDA should be approximately $750
million to $800 million. ABOUT HOST HOTELS & RESORTS Host

disclosures normally included in financial statements presented in
accordance with GAAP have been omitted. (b) As a result of the
adoption of a new accounting requirement for convertible debt
instruments that may be settled in cash upon conversion (including
partial cash settlement), the principal balance for our
Exchangeable Senior Debentures was reduced by $60 million and $76
million as of June 19, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively,
with an offsetting increase to equity. The decline in principal
reflects the unamortized discount balance related to the
implementation of the new accounting requirement. The face amount
of the debentures was $925 million at June 19, 2009. See notes to
"Other Financial and Operating Data," for further discussion. (c)
As a result of the adoption of a new accounting requirement, non-
controlling interests of other consolidated partnerships
(previously referred to as "Interest of minority partners of other
consolidated partnerships") is now included as a separate component
of equity. HOST HOTELS & RESORTS, INC. Consolidated Statements

consolidated statements of operations presented above have been
prepared without audit. Certain information and footnote
disclosures normally included in financial statements presented in
accordance with GAAP have been omitted. (b) During 2009, we
identified several properties to be tested for impairment based on
certain triggering events, as prescribed by GAAP. We tested these
properties for impairment based on management's estimate of
expected future undiscounted cash flows over our expected holding
period. As a result, we recorded non-cash impairment charges
totaling $91 million for the second quarter and $131 million
year-to-date based on the difference between the discounted cash
flows and the carrying amount. Of these impairment charges, $57
million and $78 million for second quarter and year-to-date,
respectively, have been included in depreciation expense and $19
million was included in discontinued operations for the year to
date. The remaining $34 million of impairment charges were for our
investment in the European joint venture, which is included in
equity in earnings (losses) of affiliates. (c) The retroactive
adoption of a new accounting requirement regarding the exchangeable
debentures increased interest expense by $6 million and $7 million
for both the second quarter of 2009 and 2008, respectively, and $13
million and $14 million for year-to-date 2009 and 2008,
respectively. Interest expense for year-to-date 2009 includes the
$3 million gain on the first quarter repurchase of a portion of the
3.25% Exchangeable Senior Debentures issued in April 2004 (the
"2004 Debentures"). See notes to the "Reconciliation of Net Income
to EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and FFO per Diluted Share" for further
discussion. (d) As a result of the adoption of a new accounting
requirement, net income attributable to non-controlling interests
of Host LP and of other non-consolidated partnerships are no longer
included in the determination of net income. Prior periods have
been revised to reflect this presentation. The net income
attributable to non- controlling interests is included in the net
income available to common stockholders; therefore, the
implementation of this requirement had no effect on our basic or
diluted earnings per share calculation. Earnings per Common Share

repurchased $75 million face amount of the 2004 Debentures with a
carrying value of $72 million for $69 million. The adjustments to
dilutive earnings per common share related to the 2004 Debentures
repurchased during the year include the $3 million gain on
repurchase, net of interest expense on the repurchased debentures.
(b) Dilutive securities may include shares granted under
comprehensive stock plans, preferred OP Units held by minority
partners, exchangeable debt securities and other non-controlling
interests that have the option to convert their limited partnership
interests to common OP Units. No effect is shown for any securities
that are anti-dilutive. (c) Basic earnings per common share is
computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by
the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding.
Diluted earnings per common share is computed by dividing net
income available to common stockholders, as adjusted for
potentially dilutive securities, by the weighted average number of
shares of common stock outstanding plus potentially dilutive
securities. (d) See notes to the "Reconciliation of Net Income to
EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and FFO per Diluted Share" for information
on significant items affecting diluted earnings per common share
for which no adjustments were made. HOST HOTELS & RESORTS, INC.

25, 2009, we declared a second quarter preferred dividend of
$.5546875 per share for our Class E cumulative redeemable preferred
stock. (d) During the first quarter of 2009, we repurchased $75
million face amount of the 2004 Debentures with a carrying value of
$72 million for $69 million. We recorded a gain on repurchase of
approximately $3 million. (e) During the first quarter of 2009, we
adopted a new accounting requirement that issuers of cash-settled
exchangeable debentures must separately account for the liability
and equity components in a manner that will reflect the entity's
nonconvertible debt borrowing rate on the instrument's issuance
date. Therefore, we are required to record the debt components of
the debentures at fair value as of the date of issuance with the
adjustment to additional paid-in capital and amortize the resulting
discount as an increase to interest expense over the expected life
of the debt. This treatment has been applied retrospectively to all
periods presented. The principal balance for our 2004 and 2007
Debentures was reduced by $60 million and $76 million as of June
19, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively, which reflects the
remaining unamortized discount balance at these dates. The
discounts will be amortized through the first date at which the
holders can require Host to repurchase the debentures for cash
(April 2010 for the 2004 Debentures and March 2012 for the 2007
Debentures). The retroactive adoption of the standard increased
interest expense by $6 million and $7 million for the second
quarter of 2009 and 2008, respectively, and $13 million and $14
million for year-to-date 2009 and 2008, respectively. The face
amount of the 2004 and 2007 Debentures is $325 million and $600
million at June 19, 2009. (f) Currently, we have $600 million of
available capacity under the revolver portion of the credit
facility. (g) In accordance with GAAP, total debt includes the debt
of entities that we consolidate, but do not own 100% of the
interests, and excludes the debt of entities that we do not
consolidate, but have a non-controlling ownership interest and
record our investment therein under the equity method of
accounting. As of June 19, 2009, our non-controlling partners'
share of consolidated debt is $68 million and our share of debt in
unconsolidated investments is $353 million. (h) Total debt as of
June 19, 2009 and December 31, 2008 includes net
(discounts)/premiums of $(81) million and $(86) million,
respectively. (i) The operating statistics reflect all consolidated
properties as of June 19, 2009 and June 13, 2008, respectively. The
operating statistics include the results of operations for three
properties held-for-sale at June 19, 2009, one property sold in

The full year 2009 forecasts were based on the below assumptions:
-- Comparable hotel RevPAR will decrease 20% to 23% for the high
and low ends of the forecasted range, respectively. -- Comparable
hotel adjusted operating profit margins will range from a decrease
of 600 basis points to 650 basis points for the high and low ends
of the forecasted range, respectively. -- The implementation of a
new accounting requirement will increase the non-cash interest
expense applied to the 2004 and 2007 Debentures by approximately
$26 million. Additionally, we recorded non-cash impairment charges
of $131 million, which included $97 million of impairments on four
of our properties and a $34 million impairment of our investment in
the European joint venture. These non-cash charges will decrease
earnings and FFO per diluted share by approximately $.25. -- We do
not anticipate that any acquisitions will be made during 2009. --
We expect to have annual hotel dispositions of approximately $200
million during 2009. -- We expect to spend approximately $340
million to $360 million on capital expenditures in 2009. For a
discussion of additional items that may affect forecasted results

comparable hotel results include 113 hotels that we have assumed
will be classified as comparable as of December 31, 2009. No
assurances can be made as to the hotels that will be in the
comparable hotel set for 2009. Also, see the notes to the
"Reconciliation of Net Income to EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Funds
From Operations per Diluted Share For Full Year 2009 Forecasts" for
other forecast assumptions. (b) Operating profit margin under GAAP
is calculated as the operating profit divided by the forecast total
revenues per the consolidated statements of operations. See (d)
below for forecasted revenues. (c) Comparable hotel adjusted
operating profit margin is calculated as the comparable hotel
adjusted operating profit divided by the comparable hotel sales per
the table above. The forecasted decline in the comparable hotel
adjusted operating profit margin includes the following two items
which accounts for 50 basis points of the above decline.
Additionally, the decline in the adjusted operating profit margins
includes the effect of these two items of approximately 40 basis
points and 50 basis points for the quarter and year-to-date periods
ended June 19, 2009. (1) The 2008 comparable hotel operating profit
includes business interruption proceeds of approximately $5
million, net of expenses, received in 2008 for the New Orleans
Marriott which had previously been non-comparable. We do not expect
to receive any business interruption proceeds in 2009. (2) We will
incur additional expenses in 2009 due to the treatment of the
ground lease payments related to the New York Marriott Marquis.
Since the renegotiation of the ground lease on the New York
Marriott Marquis in 1998, the ground lease payments have reduced
the deferred ground rent liability, and more recently, have been
applied against the deferred purchase price of the land. As a
result, there was no operating profit reduction for these payments.
In 2009, a small portion of the payments will fully fund the
deferred purchase price and the remainder of approximately $19
million will be deducted from operating profit. (d) The
reconciliation of forecast total revenues to the forecast

Financial Information Forecasts Our forecast of earnings per
diluted share, FFO per diluted share, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and
comparable hotel adjusted operating profit margins are
forward-looking statements and are not guarantees of future
performance and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and
other factors which may cause actual results and performance to
differ materially from those expressed or implied by these
forecasts. Although we believe the expectations reflected in the
forecasts are based upon reasonable assumptions, we can give no
assurance that the expectations will be attained or that the
results will be materially different. Risks that may affect these
assumptions and forecasts include the following: the level of
RevPAR and margin growth may change significantly and the continued
economic recession and volatility in the credit markets have
created limited visibility for advance bookings for both transient
and group business and accordingly, our ability to predict
operating results; the amount and timing of acquisitions and
dispositions of hotel properties is an estimate that can
substantially affect financial results, including such items as net
income, depreciation and gains on dispositions; the level of
capital expenditures may change significantly, which will directly
affect the level of depreciation expense and net income; the amount
and timing of debt payments may change significantly based on
market conditions, which will directly affect the level of interest
expense and net income; the number of shares of our common stock
may change based on market conditions; and other risks and
uncertainties associated with our business described herein and in
our filings with the SEC. Reporting Periods for Statement of
Operations The results we report in our consolidated statements of
operations are based on results of our hotels reported to us by our
hotel managers. Our hotel managers use different reporting periods.
Marriott International, Inc., or Marriott, the manager of the
majority of our properties, uses a fiscal year ending on the Friday
closest to December 31 and reports twelve weeks of operations for
the first three quarters and sixteen or seventeen weeks for the
fourth quarter of the year for its Marriott-managed hotels. In
contrast, other managers of our hotels, such as Starwood and Hyatt,
report results on a monthly basis. Additionally, Host, as a REIT,
is required by tax laws to report results on a calendar year. As a
result, we elected to adopt the reporting periods used by Marriott
except that our fiscal year always ends on December 31 to comply
with REIT rules. Our first three quarters of operations end on the
same day as Marriott but our fourth quarter ends on December 31 and
our full year results, as reported in our consolidated statement of
operations, always includes the same number of days as the calendar
year. Two consequences of the reporting cycle we have adopted are:
(1) quarterly start dates will usually differ between years, except
for the first quarter which always commences on January 1, and (2)
our first and fourth quarters of operations and year-to-date
operations may not include the same number of days as reflected in
prior years. For example, the second quarter of 2009 ended on June
19, and the second quarter of 2008 ended on June 13, though both
quarters reflect twelve weeks of operations. In contrast, the June
19, 2009 year-to-date operations included 170 days of operations,
while the June 13, 2008 year-to-date operations included 165 days
of operations. While the reporting calendar we adopted is more
closely aligned with the reporting calendar used by the manager of
a majority of our properties, one final consequence of our calendar
is we are unable to report the month of operations that ends after
our fiscal quarter-end until the following quarter because our
hotel managers using a monthly reporting period do not make
mid-month results available to us. Hence, the month of operation
that ends after our fiscal quarter-end is included in our quarterly
results of operations in the following quarter for those hotel
managers (covering approximately 41% of our hotels). As a result,
our quarterly results of operations include results from hotel
managers reporting results on a monthly basis as follows: first
quarter (January, February), second quarter (March to May), third
quarter (June to August) and fourth quarter (September to
December). While this does not affect full-year results, it does
affect the reporting of quarterly results. Reporting Periods for
Hotel Operating Statistics and Comparable Hotel Results In contrast
to the reporting periods for our consolidated statement of
operations, our hotel operating statistics (i.e., RevPAR, average
daily rate and average occupancy) and our comparable hotel results
are always reported based on the reporting cycle used by Marriott
for our Marriott-managed hotels. This facilitates year-to-year
comparisons, as each reporting period will be comprised of the same
number of days of operations as in the prior year (except in the
case of fourth quarters comprised of seventeen weeks (such as
fiscal year 2008) versus sixteen weeks). This means, however, that
the reporting periods we use for hotel operating statistics and our
comparable hotels results may differ slightly from the reporting
periods used for our statements of operations for the first and
fourth quarters and the full year. Results from hotel managers
reporting on a monthly basis are included in our operating
statistics and comparable hotels results consistent with their
reporting in our consolidated statement of operations herein: --
Hotel results for the second quarter of 2009 reflect 12 weeks of
operations for the period from March 28, 2009 to June 19, 2009 for
our Marriott-managed hotels and results from March 1, 2009 to May
31, 2009 for operations of all other hotels which report results on
a monthly basis. -- Hotel results for the second quarter of 2008
reflect 12 weeks of operations for the period from March 22, 2008
to June 13, 2008 for our Marriott-managed hotels and results from
March 1, 2008 to May 31, 2008 for operations of all other hotels
which report results on a monthly basis. -- Hotel results for
year-to-date 2009 reflect 24 weeks for the period from January 3,
2009 to June 19, 2009 for our Marriott-managed hotels and results
from January 1, 2009 to May 31, 2009 for operations of all other
hotels which report results on a monthly basis. -- Hotel results
for year-to-date 2008 reflect 24 weeks for the period from December
29, 2007 to June 13, 2008 for our Marriott-managed hotels and
results from January 1, 2008 to May 31, 2008 for operations of all
other hotels which report results on a monthly basis. Comparable
Hotel Operating Statistics We present certain operating statistics
(i.e., RevPAR, average daily rate and average occupancy) and
operating results (revenues, expenses, adjusted operating profit
and adjusted operating profit margin) for the periods included in
this report on a comparable hotel basis. We define our comparable
hotels as properties (i) that are owned or leased by us and the
operations of which are included in our consolidated results,
whether as continuing operations or discontinued operations, for
the entirety of the reporting periods being compared, and (ii) that
have not sustained substantial property damage or business
interruption or undergone large-scale capital projects during the
reporting periods being compared. All of our hotels that we owned
as of June 19, 2009, have been classified as comparable hotels. The
operating results of one hotel we disposed of as of June 19, 2009
and the two hotels we disposed of in 2008 are also not included in
comparable hotel results for the periods presented herein.
Moreover, because these statistics and operating results are for
our hotel properties, they exclude results for our non-hotel
properties and other real estate investments. Non-GAAP Financial
Measures Included in this press release are certain "non-GAAP
financial measures," which are measures of our historical or future
financial performance that are not calculated and presented in
accordance with GAAP, within the meaning of applicable SEC rules.
They are as follows: (i) FFO per diluted share, (ii) EBITDA, (iii)
Adjusted EBITDA and (iv) Comparable Hotel Operating Results. The
following discussion defines these terms and presents why we
believe they are useful supplemental measures of our performance.
FFO per Diluted Share We present FFO per diluted share as a
non-GAAP measure of our performance in addition to our earnings per
share (calculated in accordance with GAAP). We calculate FFO per
diluted share for a given operating period as our FFO (defined as
set forth below) for such period divided by the number of fully
diluted shares outstanding during such period. The National
Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT) defines FFO
as net income (calculated in accordance with GAAP) excluding gains
(losses) from sales of real estate, the cumulative effect of
changes in accounting principles, real estate-related depreciation
and amortization and adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships
and joint ventures. We present FFO on a per share basis after
making adjustments for the effects of dilutive securities and the
payment of preferred stock dividends, in accordance with NAREIT
guidelines. We believe that FFO per diluted share is a useful
supplemental measure of our operating performance and that the
presentation of FFO per diluted share, when combined with the
primary GAAP presentation of earnings per share, provides
beneficial information to investors. By excluding the effect of
real estate depreciation, amortization and gains and losses from
sales of real estate, all of which are based on historical cost
accounting and which may be of lesser significance in evaluating
current performance, we believe such measures can facilitate
comparisons of operating performance between periods and with other
REITs, even though FFO per diluted share does not represent an
amount that accrues directly to holders of our common stock.
Historical cost accounting for real estate assets implicitly
assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably
over time. As noted by NAREIT in its April 2002 "White Paper on
Funds From Operations," since real estate values have historically
risen or fallen with market conditions, many industry investors
have considered presentation of operating results for real estate
companies that use historical cost accounting to be insufficient by
themselves. For these reasons, NAREIT adopted the definition of FFO
in order to promote an industry-wide measure of REIT operating
performance. EBITDA Earnings before Interest Expense, Income Taxes,
Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA) is a commonly used measure
of performance in many industries. Management believes EBITDA
provides useful information to investors regarding our results of
operations because it helps us and our investors evaluate the
ongoing operating performance of our properties and facilitates
comparisons between us and other lodging REITs, hotel owners who
are not REITs and other capital-intensive companies. Management
uses EBITDA to evaluate property-level results and as one measure
in determining the value of acquisitions and dispositions and, like
FFO per diluted share, it is widely used by management in the
annual budget process. Adjusted EBITDA Historically, management has
adjusted EBITDA when evaluating our performance because we believe
that the exclusion of certain additional recurring and
non-recurring items described below provides useful supplemental
information to investors regarding our ongoing operating
performance and that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA, when
combined with the primary GAAP presentation of net income, is
beneficial to an investor's complete understanding of our operating
performance and is a relevant measure in calculating certain credit
ratios. We adjust EBITDA for the following items, which may occur
in any period, and refer to this measure as Adjusted EBITDA: --
Real Estate Transactions - We exclude the effect of gains and
losses, including the amortization of deferred gains, recorded on
the disposition of assets and property insurance gains in our
consolidated statement of operations because we believe that
including them in Adjusted EBITDA is not consistent with reflecting
the ongoing performance of our remaining assets. In addition,
material gains or losses from the depreciated value of the disposed
assets could be less important to investors given that the
depreciated asset often does not reflect the market value of real
estate assets (as noted above for FFO). -- Equity Investment
Adjustments - We exclude the equity in earnings (losses) of
unconsolidated investments in partnerships and joint ventures as
presented in our consolidated statement of operations because it
includes our pro-rata portion of depreciation, amortization and
interest expense. We include our pro rata share of the Adjusted
EBITDA of our equity investments as we believe this more accurately
reflects the performance of our investment. The pro rata Adjusted
EBITDA of equity investments is defined as the EBITDA of our equity
investments adjusted for any gains or losses on property
transactions multiplied by our percentage ownership in the
partnership or joint venture. -- Consolidated Partnership
Adjustments - We deduct the non-controlling partners' pro rata
share of the Adjusted EBITDA of our consolidated partnerships as
this reflects the non-controlling owners' interest in the EBITDA of
our consolidated partnerships. The pro rata Adjusted EBITDA of
non-controlling partners is defined as the EBITDA of our
consolidated partnerships adjusted for any gains or losses on
property transactions multiplied by the non-controlling partners'
positions in the partnership or joint venture. -- Cumulative Effect
of a Change in Accounting Principle - Infrequently, the Financial
Accounting Standards Board (FASB) promulgates new accounting
standards that require the consolidated statement of operations to
reflect the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle.
We exclude these one-time adjustments because they do not reflect
our actual performance for that period. -- Impairment Losses - We
exclude the effect of impairment losses recorded because we believe
that including them in Adjusted EBITDA is not consistent with
reflecting the ongoing performance of our remaining assets. In
addition, we believe that impairment charges are similar to gains
(losses) on dispositions and depreciation expense, both of which
are also excluded from EBITDA. Limitations on the Use of FFO per
Diluted Share, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA We calculate FFO per
diluted share in accordance with standards established by NAREIT,
which may not be comparable to measures calculated by other
companies who do not use the NAREIT definition of FFO or calculate
FFO per diluted share in accordance with NAREIT guidance. In
addition, although FFO per diluted share is a useful measure when
comparing our results to other REITs, it may not be helpful to
investors when comparing us to non-REITs. EBITDA and Adjusted
EBITDA, as presented, may also not be comparable to measures
calculated by other companies. This information should not be
considered as an alternative to net income, operating profit, cash
from operations or any other operating performance measure
calculated in accordance with GAAP. Cash expenditures for various
long-term assets (such as renewal and replacement capital
expenditures), interest expense (for EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
purposes only) and other items have been and will be incurred and
are not reflected in the EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and FFO per
diluted share presentations. 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 consolidated
statement 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. Additionally, FFO
per diluted share, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be
considered as a measure of our liquidity or indicative of funds
available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to make
cash distributions. In addition, FFO per diluted share does not
measure, and should not be used as a measure of, amounts that
accrue directly to stockholders' benefit. Comparable Hotel
Operating Results We present certain operating results for our
hotels, such as hotel revenues, expenses, adjusted operating profit
(and the related margin) and food and beverage adjusted profit (and
the related margin), on a comparable hotel, or "same store," basis
as supplemental information for investors. Our comparable hotel
results present operating results for hotels owned during the
entirety of the periods being compared without giving effect to any
acquisitions or dispositions, significant property damage or large
scale capital improvements incurred during these periods. We
present these comparable hotel operating results by eliminating
corporate-level costs and expenses related to our capital
structure, as well as depreciation and amortization. We eliminate
corporate-level costs and expenses to arrive at property-level
results because we believe property-level results provide investors
with supplemental information into the ongoing operating
performance of our hotels. We eliminate depreciation and
amortization because, even though depreciation and amortization are
property-level expenses, these non-cash expenses, which are based
on historical cost accounting for real estate assets, implicitly
assume that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably
over time. As noted earlier, because real estate values have
historically risen or fallen with market conditions, many industry
investors have considered presentation of operating results for
real estate companies that use historical cost accounting to be
insufficient by themselves. As a result of the elimination of
corporate-level costs and expenses and depreciation and
amortization, the comparable hotel operating results we present do
not represent our total revenues, expenses, operating profit or
operating profit margin and should not be used to evaluate our
performance as a whole. 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 consolidated
statements of operations include such amounts, all of which should
be considered by investors when evaluating our performance. We
present these hotel operating results on a comparable hotel basis
because we believe that doing so provides investors and management
with useful information for evaluating the period-to-period
performance of our hotels and facilitates comparisons with other
hotel REITs and hotel owners. In particular, these measures assist
management and investors in distinguishing whether increases or
decreases in revenues and/or expenses are due to growth or decline
of operations at comparable hotels (which represent the vast
majority of our portfolio) or from other factors, such as the
effect of acquisitions or dispositions. While management believes
that presentation of comparable hotel results is a "same store"
supplemental measure that provides useful information in evaluating
our ongoing performance, this measure is not used to allocate
resources or to assess the operating performance of each of these
hotels, as these decisions are based on data for individual hotels
and are not based on comparable hotel results. For these reasons,
we believe that comparable hotel operating results, when combined
with the presentation of GAAP operating profit, revenues and
expenses, provide useful information to investors and management.
