DEAR SHAREHOLDER, Beginning in 2011 and continuing through the first nine months of this year, performance of the Apple REIT Eight, Inc. portfolio of hotels has improved from the challenging economic conditions that negatively affected the hotel industry in 2009 and 2010. Based on Company and industry trends, we anticipate a low single-digit percentage increase in funds from operations for the fourth quarter of 2012 as compared to the same period of 2011. Although multiple factors within the hotel industry and the general economy will contribute to the pace at which our hotels continue to improve, I am optimistic that the future of Apple REIT Eight is positive.



The 51 Marriott® - and Hilton® - branded hotels of the Apple REIT Eight portfolio are diversified across 19 states and continue to be leaders within their respective markets. For the three-month periods ending September 30, 2012 and 2011, our hotels achieved an average occupancy rate of 78 percent for each period, an average daily rate (ADR) of $121 and $118, and revenue per available room (RevPAR) of $94 and $92, respectively. For the nine-month periods ending September 30, 2012 and 2011, our hotels achieved an average occupancy rate of 75 percent and 74 percent, ADR of $116 and $113, and RevPAR of $87 and $84, respectively. Driven by steady increases in ADR, RevPAR at our hotels increased by approximately two percent and nearly four percent this year as compared to the same three- and nine-month periods of 2011, respectively.

Funds from operations (FFO) for the third quarter of this year totaled $14.6 million, or $0.16 per share, and for the nine-month period ending September 30, 2012, FFO was $35.2 million, or $0.38 per share. These results were down slightly as compared to FFO for the same periods of 2011, which totaled $16.1 million, or $0.17 per share, and $36.8 million, or $0.39 per share, respectively (2011 included a gain of $1.1 million related to debt restructuring). Over the first nine months of the year, the Company paid distributions of approximately $0.41 per share.

Since the time of the Company’s first distribution payment through October 31, 2012, we have paid approximately $3.98 per share, or $343 million, in shareholder distributions. Additionally the Company has maintained a conservative balance sheet, with a debt level of approximately 26 percent as compared to our total initial capitalization. Our annualized distribution rate of $0.55 per share is closely monitored, taking into account varying economic cycles and capital improvements, as well as current and projected hotel performance, and adjustments may be made as needed, based on available cash resources.

Our team at Apple REIT Eight remains committed to maximizing shareholder value through our conservative approach to the ownership of high-quality, well-branded hotels. If hotel industry fundamentals continue to strengthen as analysts have forecasted, I am confident the Company is positioned to take advantage of improving conditions. I look forward to sharing our continued progress with you in upcoming shareholder communications.

 

Sincerely,

 

-s- Glade M. Knight

(A) Funds from operations (FFO) is defined as net income (loss) (computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles – GAAP) excluding gains and losses from sales of depreciable property, plus depreciation and amortization. The company considers FFO in evaluating property acquisitions and its operating performance and believes that FFO should be considered along with, but not as an alternative to, net income and cash flows as a measure of the company’s activities in accordance with GAAP. FFO is not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs.

The financial information furnished reflects all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of financial position at September 30, 2012 and the results of operations for the interim period ended September 30, 2012. Such interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results that can be expected for the full year. The accompanying financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and related notes appearing in the Apple REIT Eight, Inc. 2011 Annual Report.
