Red Lion Hotels Reports First Quarter 2011 Results
Sale of Seattle Fifth Avenue property expected to close in late second quarter
Sale of Seattle Fifth Avenue property expected to close in late second quarter
SPOKANE, WA, May 5, 2011 Red Lion Hotels Corporation (NYSE: RLH), a western U.S.-based owner
and franchisor of midscale hotels, announced its results for the first quarter ended March 31,
2011.
Overview:
| Signed definitive agreement to sell Seattle Fifth Avenue property for $71 million | ||
| RevPAR for owned and leased hotels increased 0.2 percent year over year | ||
| ADR for owned and leased hotels up 0.3 percent year over year | ||
| Occupancy remained steady year over year with transient growth offsetting anticipated group decline | ||
| EBITDA loss of $0.2 million |
Total revenue during the first quarter was $34.3 million, consistent with the prior year period
results. Revenue from hotels of $30.2 million declined slightly from $30.6 million in the prior
year period. EBITDA from continuing operations before special items for the first quarter of 2011
was a loss of $0.2 million, compared to $1.9 million for the first quarter of 2010. Net loss from
continuing operations was $4.8 million in the quarter, or $0.25 per share, compared to a loss of
$4.2 million, or $0.23 per share, for the prior year period.
This week, we were able to sign an attractive agreement to sell our Seattle Fifth Avenue hotel to
a new owner affiliated with Lowe Enterprises and its management company, Destination Hotels &
Resorts, said President and Chief Executive Officer Jon E. Eliassen. Both companies are highly
regarded in the hospitality industry. They will operate the hotel under a franchise agreement with
Red Lion, maintaining our presence in downtown Seattle. Upon the closing of this transaction, we
will have successfully monetized a valuable asset in an important step in our strategy to
recapitalize our balance sheet.
Eliassen continued, Turning to our first quarter results, as anticipated, group demand softened in
many of our markets. However, we were able to largely offset the group decline with strong
transient performance enabling us to maintain RevPAR year over year. As we move through the year,
we are cautiously optimistic that we will be able to leverage stronger revenue performance to drive
improved profitability.

First Quarter 2011 Results
Comparing the first quarter of 2011 to the first quarter of 2010, occupancy for owned and leased
hotels remained flat at 48.2 percent. ADR increased slightly to $80.34, resulting in a 0.2 percent
increase in RevPAR.
Including franchised hotels, system wide RevPAR on a comparable basis for the quarter increased 2.1
percent due to a 110 basis point increase in occupancy, partially offset by a 0.2 percent decline
in ADR.
Revenue from hotels of $30.2 million was down slightly compared to the prior year period. This was
primarily due to a $0.6 million, or 7 percent, decline in food and beverage revenue, mainly as a
result of reduced banquet business given lower group occupancy during the quarter. Rooms revenue
was essentially flat at $21.3 million year over year as an increase in the transient segment
largely offset a decline in group business. Hotel direct operating margin declined to 9.9 percent
during the quarter from 13.2 percent in the same period in 2010 due primarily to the decline in
food and beverage revenues and an increase in sales & marketing, utility and food costs.
Revenue from the entertainment segment increased $0.3 million to $2.8 million, driven by an
increase in the number of shows in the quarter versus the prior year. However, operating margin
for the segment declined by $0.3 million primarily driven by lower revenues and increased expenses
of the ticketing portion of the business.
Revenue from the franchise segment increased $0.1 million in the first quarter to $0.7 million.
The segment showed a $0.2 million decline in operating margin as a result of increased investment
to grow and support the business and additional expenses associated with the change in operators at
the Sacramento franchise.
Liquidity and Balance Sheet
As of March 31, 2011, the company had approximately $5.6 million in cash and cash equivalents, and
outstanding debt of $132.1 million, $50.0 million of which is classified as current.
Capital expenditures during the first quarter totaled $0.4 million for necessary hotel improvement
projects.
On March 25, 2011, KeyBank National Association acquired all of the interests of the other lenders
under the companys $30 million revolving credit facility and the covenants were simultaneously
amended.
During the quarter, the company announced plans to offer for sale its Red Lion Colonial Hotel,
located in Helena, Montana. The company expects to use the proceeds from the sale to pay down debt
while redeploying the equity in the property to enhance the Red Lion brand. The company expects to
maintain the hotels Red Lion affiliation, either as a managed or franchised property or both.
The company has presented the assets of its Seattle Fifth Avenue and its Helena, Montana properties
as Assets Held for Sale on its balance sheet at March 31, 2011. The assets of the Denver
Southeast property did not meet all criteria for this classification and thus continue to be
presented as non-current assets in the companys property and equipment line on the balance sheet.
Franchise Update
The company continues to focus on the strategy of growing the Red Lion brand through franchising.
The previously announced Red Lion Inn Rancho Cordova near Sacramento is scheduled to open within
the next few weeks. Last week, the owner of the Red Lion Hotel Concord Walnut Creek franchise
unexpectedly closed the hotel. While the company currently has no further information about the
Concord property, it is willing to consider future involvement, if that is an option.
Subsequent Event
On May 4, 2011, the company announced it has entered into a definitive agreement to sell its Red
Lion Hotel on Fifth Avenue to an affiliate of Lowe Enterprises (Lowe) for $71 million. The
buyers are entering into a franchise agreement with Red Lion Hotels Franchising Inc. and the hotel
will continue to operate as a Red Lion, managed by Lowes hospitality management subsidiary,
Destination Hotels & Resorts. In addition to the franchise agreement, the company is entering into
an affiliation agreement with a subsidiary of Destination Hotels & Resorts to facilitate the
cross-promotion of hotels between the companies. The company currently anticipates that the
closing will occur by the end of the second quarter.
Outlook for 2011
The company is reaffirming its RevPAR guidance for 2011, previously provided on March 2, 2011,
based on the outlook for the markets in which the company operates and information available today:
| Full year 2011 RevPAR for company owned and leased hotels is expected to increase 3 to 5 percent compared to 2010 on an annual basis. | ||
| The company expects to invest approximately $11.0 million in capital improvements in 2011. |

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
EBITDA is defined as net income attributable to Red Lion Hotels Corporation, before interest,
taxes, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is considered a non-GAAP financial measurement. We
believe it is a useful financial performance measure for us and for our shareholders and is a
complement to net income attributable to Red Lion Hotels Corporation and other financial
performance measures provided in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the
United States (GAAP).
We use EBITDA to measure the financial performance of our owned and leased hotels because it
excludes interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, which bear little or no relationship to
operating performance. By excluding interest expense, EBITDA measures our financial performance
irrespective of our capital structure or how we finance our properties and operations. We generally
pay federal and state income taxes on a consolidated basis, taking into account how the applicable
taxing laws apply to our company in the aggregate. By excluding taxes on income, we believe EBITDA
provides a basis for measuring the financial performance of our operations excluding factors that
our hotels and other operations cannot control. By excluding depreciation
and amortization expense, which can vary from hotel to hotel based on historical cost and other
factors unrelated to the hotels financial performance, EBITDA measures the financial performance
of our hotels without regard to their historical cost. For all of these reasons, we believe that
EBITDA provides us and investors with information that is relevant and useful in evaluating our
business.
However, because EBITDA excludes depreciation and amortization, it does not measure the capital we
require to maintain or preserve our long-lived assets. In addition, because EBITDA does not reflect
interest expense, it does not take into account the total amount of interest we pay on outstanding
debt nor does it show trends in interest costs due to changes in our borrowings or changes in
interest rates. EBITDA, as defined by us, may not be comparable to EBITDA as reported by other
companies that do not define EBITDA exactly as we define the term. Because we use EBITDA to
evaluate our financial performance, we reconcile all EBITDA measures to net income attributable to
Red Lion Hotels Corporation, which is the most comparable financial measure calculated and
presented in accordance with GAAP. EBITDA does not represent cash provided by operating activities
determined in accordance with GAAP, and should not be considered as an alternative to operating
income or net income attributable to Red Lion Hotels Corporation determined in accordance with GAAP
as an indicator of performance or as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities as an
indicator of liquidity.
