2011 Highlights

 

§Pro forma RevPAR: Pro forma room revenue per available room (“Pro forma RevPAR”) for the year ended December 31, 2011 increased by 10.3 percent over the same period of 2010 to $158.75. For 2011, Pro forma average daily rate (“Pro forma ADR”) grew 7.7 percent from the comparable period of 2010 to $203.31 and Pro forma Occupancy improved 2.4 percent to 78.1 percent.

 

§Pro forma Hotel EBITDA: The Company’s hotels generated $88.3 million of Pro forma Hotel EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 2011, an increase of 24.0 percent compared with the same period of 2010. For 2011, Pro forma Hotel Revenues climbed 9.2 percent, while Pro forma Hotel Expenses rose 4.7 percent. As a result, Pro forma Hotel EBITDA Margin for the year ended December 31, 2011 increased 318 basis points to 26.7 percent as compared to the same period last year.

 

§Pro forma Hotel EBITDA Per Room: The Company’s Pro Forma Hotel EBITDA Per Room for the year ended December 31, 2011 increased 23.8 percent from the comparable period of 2010 to $23,758.

 

§Adjusted EBITDA: The Company’s Adjusted EBITDA rose to $79.3 million from $8.9 million for the prior year period.

 

§Adjusted FFO: The Company’s Adjusted FFO increased to $48.9 million, compared with $7.3 million for the prior year period.

 

§Dividends: During 2011, the Company declared dividends of $0.48 per share on its common shares, $1.663 per share on its 7.875% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares and $0.633 per share on its 8.0% Series B Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares.

 

“The hotel industry’s fundamentals strengthened in 2011, as demand for hotel rooms in the U.S. climbed a robust 5.0 percent and supply growth declined to only 0.6 percent, allowing for significant ADR improvement and resulting in hotel industry RevPAR growth of 8.2 percent, the second strongest year of RevPAR growth over the last 23 years,” added Mr. Bortz. “Pebblebrook’s RevPAR growth of 10.3 percent for 2011 well exceeded the industry’s, as we clearly benefitted from our strategy of investing primarily in stronger urban markets in major gateway cities. Travel demand was driven by strong growth in business and leisure transient travel, as well as growing inbound international travel that remains healthy despite concerns with the global economy. These positive trends have provided us with the opportunity to successfully raise room rates at our properties while occupancies have been rising, which has occurred earlier than we expected at this point in the hotel cycle. We expect these trends will continue throughout 2012 as occupancy levels are at or above prior peak levels in many of our urban markets, which is highly encouraging.”

 

Fourth Quarter Highlights

 

§Pro forma RevPAR: Pro forma RevPAR in the fourth quarter of 2011 increased 12.8 percent over the same period of 2010 to $168.58. Pro forma ADR grew 6.1 percent from the fourth quarter of 2010 to $217.90. Pro forma Occupancy rose 6.3 percent to a robust 77.4 percent.

 

§Pro forma Hotel EBITDA: The hotels generated $31.1 million of Pro forma Hotel EBITDA for the quarter ended December 31, 2011, climbing 39.1 percent compared with the same period of 2010. Pro forma Hotel Revenues increased 11.6 percent, while Pro forma Hotel Expenses rose 3.5 percent. As a result, Pro forma Hotel EBITDA Margin grew dramatically to 28.4 percent for the quarter ended December 31, 2011, representing an increase of 562 basis points as compared to the same period last year.

Capital Reinvestment and Asset Management

 

During 2011, the Company reinvested approximately $57.7 million of capital improvements throughout the Company’s portfolio. The Company’s capital improvements included $16.6 million at the Westin Gaslamp Quarter, $8.4 million at the Sir Francis Drake, $6.0 million at the InterContinental Buckhead and $5.2 million at the Grand Hotel Minneapolis.

 

The comprehensive three-year renovation and redevelopment of the Westin Gaslamp Quarter is now in its third and final phase, which involves the renovation and reconfiguration of the hotel’s ground floor, including the exterior, porte cochère, lobby, lounge and restaurant. This stage commenced in October 2011 and is expected to be completed in May 2012.

 

The Company opened several restaurant and bar facilities throughout its portfolio in 2011, including the highly acclaimed Southern Art Restaurant by Art Smith and the Bourbon Bar, both at the InterContinental Hotel Buckhead, which opened in September, and the Descent Theme Bar and Lounge, which opened at the W Boston in November.

 

In addition, the Company commenced major renovation projects at a number of its hotels late in 2011 or early in 2012, including its comprehensive $8.8 million renovation of the Sheraton Delfina, which involves the hotel’s guest rooms, corridors, meeting rooms, lobby and public space; a $3.3 million renovation at the Argonaut San Francisco, which includes the guest rooms, corridors, meeting rooms and lobby; and a $4.6 million renovation at the Hotel Monaco Seattle, which involves the guest rooms, corridors, lobby and meeting space.

 

“Our capital reinvestment program is a critical component of our overall investment strategy,” noted Mr. Bortz. “The renovation and repositioning of our hotels will allow us to improve market share and ultimately increase cash flow in a meaningful way. We have already seen significant benefits from our reinvestment programs at the Sir Francis Drake, Affinia Manhattan, Westin Gaslamp and Grand Hotel Minneapolis, all of which are expected to continue to increase market share during 2012 and generate substantial increases in revenues and operating cash flow.”

 

In addition to its capital reinvestment programs, Pebblebrook continues to implement a comprehensive array of asset management best practices and initiatives throughout its portfolio to enhance hotel revenues while also promoting expense controls and strong margin growth. To date, the Company has identified approximately $8.7 million of asset management expense reduction opportunities, which it expects will be fully implemented during 2012.

 

“We are extremely pleased with the progress we’ve made in implementing our asset management initiatives and best practices across many of our hotels this year, as illustrated by our strong margin growth of 318 basis points, even though we didn’t own most of our hotels for the entire year. We expect that these improvements will continue to increase significantly in 2012 and 2013 as these efficiencies and operating enhancements are fully implemented and we find additional opportunities that will have a positive impact on our future performance,” continued Mr. Bortz.

Acquisitions

 

The Company successfully acquired 12 high-quality, upper-upscale, full service hotels in 2011 for a total investment of $954.1 million, comprised of 6 wholly owned hotels with a total of 1,511 rooms and a 49 percent joint venture interest in six hotels with 1,733 guest rooms. The Company’s twelve completed 2011 acquisitions are all located in highly desirable major gateway U.S. cities.

 

“We’re very excited about the acquisitions we’ve made in 2011, investing in many high barrier to entry, urban markets in major gateway cities including San Francisco, Seattle, West Hollywood, San Diego, Miami, Boston and New York. We believe these properties offer excellent opportunities for continued RevPAR growth, margin expansion and value creation, through renovations and the further implementation of our asset management best practice initiatives,” commented Mr. Bortz.

 

Since its initial public offering in December 2009, the Company has invested in 20 hotel properties encompassing 5,545 guest rooms (including six hotels through a joint venture) totaling approximately $1.6 billion of invested capital.

This press release includes certain non-GAAP financial measures as defined under Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Rules to supplement the Company’s consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP").

 

These measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative to, measures prepared in accordance with GAAP and may be different from similarly titled non-GAAP measures used by other companies. In addition, these non-GAAP measures are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. Non-GAAP measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with the Company’s results of operations determined in accordance with GAAP.

 

Funds from Operations - Funds from operations (“FFO”) represents net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), plus real estate-related depreciation and amortization and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships. The Company considers FFO a useful measure of performance for an equity REIT because it facilitates an understanding of the operating performance of its properties without giving effect to real estate depreciation and amortization, which assume that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, the Company believes that FFO provides a meaningful indication of its performance. The Company also considers FFO an appropriate performance measure given its wide use by investors and analysts. The Company computes FFO in accordance with standards established by the Board of Governors of NAREIT in its March 1995 White Paper (as amended in November 1999 and April 2002), which may differ from the methodology for calculating FFO utilized by other equity REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to that of other REITs. Further, FFO does not represent amounts available for management’s discretionary use because of needed capital replacement or expansion, debt service obligations or other commitments and uncertainties, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund the Company’s cash needs, including its ability to make distributions. The Company presents FFO per diluted share calculations that are based on the outstanding dilutive common shares plus the outstanding Operating Partnership units for the periods presented.

 

Earnings before Interest, Taxes, and Depreciation and Amortization ("EBITDA") - The Company believes that EBITDA provides investors a useful financial measure to evaluate its operating performance, excluding the impact of our capital structure (primarily interest expense) and our asset base (primarily depreciation and amortization).

 

The Company’s presentation of FFO in accordance with the NAREIT white paper and EBITDA, or as adjusted by the Company, should not be considered as an alternative to net income (computed in accordance with GAAP) as an indicator of the Company’s financial performance or to cash flow from operating activities (computed in accordance with GAAP) as an indicator of its liquidity. The table above is a reconciliation of the Company’s FFO and EBITDA calculations to net income in accordance with GAAP.

 

The Company also evaluates its performance by reviewing Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted FFO, because it believes that adjusting EBITDA and FFO to exclude certain recurring and non-recurring items described below provides useful supplemental information regarding the Company's ongoing operating performance and that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted FFO, when combined with the primary GAAP presentation of net income (loss), more completely describes the Company's operating performance. The Company adjusts EBITDA and FFO for the following items, which may occur in any period, and refers to these measures as Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted FFO:

 

- Non-Cash Ground Rent: The Company excludes the non-cash amortization expense of the Company's ground lease asset.

- Acquisition Costs: The Company excludes acquisition transaction costs expensed during the period because it believes that including these costs in EBITDA and FFO does not reflect the underlying financial performance of the Company and its hotels.

- Amortization of LTIP Units: The Company excludes the non-cash amortization of LTIP Units expensed during the period.

- Reorganization costs from joint ventures: The Company excludes reorganization costs from joint venture expensed during the period because it believes that including these costs in EBITDA and FFO does not reflect the underlying financial performance of the Company and its hotels.
