shareholders of $22.5 million in the comparable period in 2010.  The year ended December 31, 2011, includes a gain of $23.5 million associated with the deed in lieu transfer of the New York LaGuardia Airport Marriott.  The year ended December 31, 2010, includes a gain of $23.7 from the sale of six hotels.

 

Net cash flow provided by operating activities totaled $134.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2011, compared to $64.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2010.

 

Capital Expenditures

 

In 2011, the Company initiated renovation projects at 48 hotels, which included 24 hotels acquired in 2010 and 2011. The Company authorized $115.0 million of capital improvements primarily to upgrade and/or reposition the 24 hotels acquired in 2010 and 2011, including seven brand conversions. The balance of the renovations included brand related upgrades at other select hotels.

 

To date, the Company has completed six of the seven planned brand conversions.  The Fairfield Inn & Suites Washington DC/Downtown was converted from a Red Roof Inn hotel, the Embassy Suites West Palm Beach-Central was converted from a Crowne Plaza hotel, the Hilton Garden Inn Los Angeles/Hollywood was converted from an independent brand hotel, and the Hilton New York Fashion District, the Hilton Garden Inn Pittsburgh University Place, and the Hilton Garden Inn Durham were each converted from a Wyndham hotel.

 

Acquisitions

 

On October 27, 2011, the Company acquired the 176-room Courtyard by Marriott Charleston Historic District for a purchase price of $42.0 million from Noble Investment Group.  The purchase price represents a cost of approximately $239,000 per key, which represents a substantial discount to replacement cost, and an 8.3% forward 12-month capitalization rate.  The Company purchased this asset with cash available on its balance sheet.

 

For the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company acquired 10 hotels comprised of more than 2,000 guest rooms in nine states for a total investment of $246.6 million.

 

Balance Sheet and Capital Structure

 

On May 16, 2011, the Company closed its IPO of 27.5 million common shares at $18.00 per share. Additionally, on June 3, 2011, the underwriters exercised their overallotment option to purchase 4.1 million of the Company’s common shares. Total proceeds, net of underwriting discounts and commissions, and including the overallotment option, were approximately $533.2 million.  Proceeds from the IPO were used to retire $472.6 million of mortgage debt.

 

On June 20, 2011, the Company entered into a new $300.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility. The credit facility matures on June 20, 2014, and has a one-year extension option. The credit facility has an accordion option that provides the Company with the ability to upsize the amount available under the credit facility to $450.0 million, subject to certain conditions.

On October 21, 2011, the Company refinanced a $140.0 million term loan, which was scheduled to mature in November 2011.  In its place, the Company structured five separate first mortgage loans totaling $142.0 million. The base term for each mortgage is interest only and bears a floating rate of LIBOR plus 360 basis points.  The new loans have a term of three years with two, one-year extension options.  Including the extensions, this tranche of debt will now mature in 2016.

 

On November 4, 2011, the Company’s Board of Trustees authorized a share repurchase program to acquire up to $100.0 million of the Company’s common shares.  As of December 31, 2011, the Company had not repurchased any common shares.

 

As of December 31, 2011, the Company had $310.2 million of unrestricted cash on its balance sheet and $1.3 billion in outstanding debt.  Including extension options, only 6%, or $85.0 million, of the Company’s outstanding debt will mature over the next three years.  The Company’s ratio of net debt to Adjusted EBITDA for the trailing twelve month period, including prior ownership hotel EBITDA, was 4.3 times.

 

There was no outstanding balance on the Company’s $300.0 million unsecured credit facility as of December 31, 2011.

 

Dividends

 

The Company’s Board of Trustees declared a cash dividend of $0.15 per common share of beneficial interest, which was paid on January 13, 2012, to shareholders of record, as of December 31, 2011.

 

For the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company declared dividends for three consecutive quarters, a total of $0.38 per common share of beneficial interest.

 

2012 Outlook

 

The Company’s outlook excludes potential future acquisitions and dispositions, which could result in a material change in the Company’s outlook.  Pro forma RevPAR, Pro forma Hotel EBITDA, and Pro forma Hotel EBITDA Margins include prior ownership and are adjusted for non-comparable hotels.  Pro forma Consolidated Hotel EBITDA includes the Company’s 141 hotels.  These estimates reflect management’s view of current market conditions.  For the full year 2012, the Company anticipates:

 

·                  Pro forma RevPAR growth between 5.0% and 7.0%

·                  Pro forma Hotel EBITDA Margin between 33.5% and 34.5%

·                  Pro forma Consolidated Hotel EBITDA between $265.0 million and $285.0 million

·                  Corporate cash general and administrative expenses between $22 million and $23 million.

The Company’s 2012 outlook is also based on a number of other assumptions, many of which are outside the Company’s control and all of which are subject to change. The Company may change its outlook as actual and anticipated results vary from these assumptions.

Note:

The schedule above includes pro forma operating statistics for the Company’s 139 hotels as if they had been owned since January 1, 2010.  Due to conversion upgrades at Fairfield Inn & Suites Washington, DC/Downtown and Hilton New York Fashion District, these two hotels were excluded for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, but are included from April through December 31, 2011, and 2010.  The Garden District hotel remains closed for renovations and therefore has been excluded from 2011 and 2010. Pro forma results reflect 100% of Doubletree Metropolitan financial results, results have not been adjusted to reflect the 5% noncontrolling ownership.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

We consider the following non-GAAP financial measures useful to investors as key supplemental measures of our performance: FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Hotel EBITDA . These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered along with, but not as alternatives to, net income or loss as a measure of our operating performance. FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Hotel EBITDA as calculated by us, may not be comparable to other companies.

 

Funds From Operations (“FFO”)

 

We calculate FFO in accordance with standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”), which defines FFO as net income or loss (calculated in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains or losses from sales of real estate, items classified by GAAP as extraordinary, the cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles, plus depreciation and amortization, and adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. 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 real estate industry investors consider FFO to be helpful in evaluating a real estate company’s operations. We believe that the presentation of FFO provides useful information to investors regarding our operating performance by excluding the effect of depreciation and amortization, gains or losses from sales for real estate, extraordinary items and the portion of items related to unconsolidated entities, all of which are based on historical cost accounting, and that FFO can facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods and between REITs, even though FFO does not represent an amount that accrues directly to common shareholders. Our calculation of FFO may not be comparable to measures calculated by other companies who do not use the NAREIT definition of FFO or do not calculate FFO per diluted share in accordance with NAREIT guidance. Additionally, FFO may not be helpful when comparing us to non-REITs. We present FFO attributable to common shareholders, which includes our OP units, because our OP units are redeemable for common shares of beneficial interest.  We believe it is meaningful for the investor to understand FFO attributable to all common shares of beneficial interest and OP units.

 

Adjusted FFO

 

We further adjust FFO for certain additional items that are not in NAREIT’s definition of FFO, such as hotel transaction and pursuit costs, the amortization of share based compensation and other nonrecurring expenses that were the result of the IPO and related formation transactions. We believe that Adjusted FFO provides investors with another financial measure that may facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods and between REITs.

 

Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”)

 

EBITDA is defined as net income or loss excluding: (1) interest expense; (2) provision for income taxes, including income taxes applicable to sale of assets; and (3) depreciation and amortization. We consider EBITDA useful to an investor in evaluating and facilitating comparisons of our operating performance between periods and between REITs by removing the impact of our capital structure (primarily interest expense) and asset base (primarily depreciation

 

12



 

and amortization) from our operating results.  In addition, EBITDA is used as one measure in determining the value of hotel acquisitions and dispositions. We present EBITDA attributable to common shareholders, which includes our OP units, because our OP units are redeemable for common shares of beneficial interest.  We believe it is meaningful for the investor to understand EBITDA attributable to all common shares of beneficial interest and OP units.

 

Adjusted EBITDA

 

We further adjust EBITDA for certain additional items such as discontinued operations, hotel transaction and pursuit costs, the amortization of share based compensation and other nonrecurring expenses that were the result of the IPO and related formation transactions. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA provides investors with another financial measure that can facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods and between REITs.

 

Hotel EBITDA

 

With respect to Hotel EBITDA, the Company believes that excluding the effect of corporate-level expenses, non-cash items, and the portion of these items related to unconsolidated entities, provides a more complete understanding of the operating results over which individual hotels and operators have direct control. We believe property-level results provide investors with supplemental information on the ongoing operational performance of our hotels and effectiveness of the third-party management companies operating our business on a property-level basis.
