Ryman Hospitality Properties, Inc. Provides Updated Outlook for 2013

- Declares Second Quarter Dividend -

- Adjusts Conversion Rate of Notes for Dividend -

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (June 4, 2013) – Ryman Hospitality Properties, Inc. (NYSE: RHP), a lodging real estate investment trust (“REIT”) specializing in group-oriented, destination hotel assets in urban and resort markets, today provided an updated financial outlook for 2013.

Colin V. Reed, chairman, chief executive officer and president of Ryman Hospitality Properties, stated, “We were recently informed by our manager, Marriott International that the pace of in-the-year, for-the-year group bookings has slowed for our hotels segment. Coupled with the fact that cost synergies are materializing more slowly than originally anticipated, Marriott has decided to reduce their 2013 operating forecast for our hotel business. As a result, we believe that it is prudent to modify both our revenue and profitability guidance for the year.”

While first quarter booking results, both in-the-year, for-the-year and for all future years, were positive and a cause for optimism for the remainder of 2013, recent trends indicate that performance in 2013 will be challenged by several adverse impacts. These include:

Reed continued, “We are working with Marriott to identify opportunities to mitigate these issues and ensure that any detrimental effects of this transition are contained to our 2013 performance. Despite these near term challenges, we continue to believe in the long term value creation associated with our conversion to a REIT. Our hotels have strong advanced group business on the books for 2014 with approximately 100,000 more room nights on the books compared to the same period last year. We continue to observe solid increases in transient room night production and our projected corporate cost savings are being realized as expected. Albeit ramping up slower than was projected, the performance of our hotel assets is heading in the right direction, and we anticipate that the benefits of the Marriott relationship will materialize more significantly as the year progresses, and will have a positive impact in 2014 and beyond.”

Guidance Update:

The Company is revising its 2013 guidance on a consolidated basis and for the hospitality segment to reflect the impact of the transition-related and other issues outlined above. In addition, the Company has updated the estimated basic shares outstanding to reflect the recent share repurchase activity described below.

Second Quarter Dividend Declared

On June 3, 2013, the Company declared its second quarter cash dividend of $0.50 per share of common stock payable on July 15, 2013 to stockholders of record on June 28, 2013. It is the Company’s current plan to distribute total annual dividends of approximately $2.00 per share in cash in equal quarterly payments, subject to the board’s future determinations as to the amount of quarterly distributions and the timing thereof.

As a result of the declaration of the dividend on June 3, 2013, effective immediately after the close of business on June 26, 2013, the conversion rate of the Company’s outstanding 3.75 percent convertible notes due 2014 will adjust from a conversion rate of 44.9815 per $1,000 principal amount of notes, which is equivalent to a conversion price of $22.23, to a conversion rate of 45.5431, which is equivalent to a conversion price of $21.96. Pursuant to customary anti-dilution adjustments, effective immediately after the close of business on June 26, 2013, the strike price of our call options related to the convertible notes will be adjusted to $21.96 per share of common stock and the exercise price of the common stock warrants we issued will be adjusted in a similar manner.

Stock Repurchase Program Completed

During May 2013, the Company completed the remainder of its previously authorized $100 million share repurchase program, by repurchasing and cancelling approximately 1.0 million shares of its common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $44.3 million, which the Company funded using cash on hand and borrowings under the revolving credit line of its credit facility.

Calculation of RevPAR and Total RevPAR

We calculate revenue per available room (“RevPAR”) for our hotels by dividing room revenue by room nights available to guests for the period. We calculate total revenue per available room (“Total RevPAR”) for our hotels by dividing the sum of room revenue, food & beverage, and other ancillary services revenue by room nights available to guests for the period. We calculate retail adjusted total revenue per available room (“Retail Adjusted Total RevPAR”) for our hotels for 2012 by dividing the sum of room revenue, food & beverage, and other ancillary services revenue minus the retail inventory adjustment for the period by room nights available to guests for the period.

Under Marriott International, Inc.’s management of Gaylord Opryland, Gaylord Texan, and Gaylord National, the retail operations of such hotels were outsourced to a third party retailer beginning in the fourth quarter of 2012. The properties now receive rental lease payments rather than full retail revenue and associated expense. The net impact of this change lowered overall retail revenue for each affected property. To enable period-over-period comparison, we have based 2013 Total RevPAR guidance on 2012 Retail Adjusted Revenue and 2012 Retail Adjusted Total RevPAR figures, which reflect the elimination from the 2012 figures of retail revenues from operations that have been outsourced in the 2013 period. No adjustments were made to the Gaylord Palms’ revenue due to the fact that during all periods presented, retail operations were outsourced at that property. A presentation of actual revenue and Retail Adjusted Revenue for the 2012 period is set forth below under “Supplemental Financial Results.” 2012 retail adjustment amounts have been revised slightly.

RevPAR estimated annual change included in our guidance is based on 2012 RevPAR of $123.36 (as adjusted to reflect a change in room counting methods that does not exclude renovation rooms from the calculation of rooms available, per Marriott room counting methods), and Total RevPAR estimated annual change is based on 2012 Retail Adjusted Total RevPAR of $306.41 (as adjusted to reflect the elimination from the first three quarters of 2012 of revenues from retail operations that were outsourced to a third-party retailer beginning in the fourth quarter of 2012, as well as Marriott room counting methods).

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We present the following non-GAAP financial measures we believe are useful to investors as key measures of our operating performance: Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted FFO and Retail Adjusted Revenue, as described above.

To calculate Adjusted EBITDA, we determine EBITDA, which represents net income (loss) determined in accordance with GAAP, plus loss (income) from discontinued operations, net; provision (benefit) for income taxes; other (gains) and losses, net; (income) loss from unconsolidated entities; interest expense; and depreciation and amortization, less interest income. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as EBITDA plus preopening costs; non-cash ground lease expense; equity-based compensation expense; impairment charges; any closing costs of completed acquisitions; interest income on Gaylord National bonds; other gains (and losses); REIT conversion costs and any other adjustments we have identified in this release. We believe Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors in evaluating our operating performance because this measure helps investors evaluate and compare the results of our operations from period to period by removing the impact of our capital structure (primarily interest expense) and our asset base (primarily depreciation and amortization) from our operating results. A reconciliation of net income (loss) to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA and a reconciliation of segment operating income to segment Adjusted EBITDA are set forth below under “Supplemental Financial Results.” Our method of calculating Adjusted EBITDA as used herein differs from the method we used to calculate Adjusted EBITDA as presented in press releases covering periods prior to 2013.

We calculate Adjusted FFO to mean net income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding non-controlling interests, and gains and losses from sales of property; plus depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs and debt discounts) and impairment losses; we also exclude written-off deferred financing costs, non-cash ground lease expense, amortization of debt discounts and amortization of deferred financing costs; and gain (loss) on extinguishment of debt, and subtract certain capital expenditures (the

6

required FF&E reserves for our managed properties plus maintenance capital expenditures for our non-managed properties). We also exclude the effect of the non-cash income tax benefit relating to the REIT conversion. We have presented Adjusted FFO both excluding and including REIT conversion costs. We believe that the presentation of Adjusted FFO provides useful information to investors regarding our operating performance because it is a measure of our operations without regard to specified non-cash items such as real estate depreciation and amortization, gain or loss on sale of assets and certain other items which we believe are not indicative of the performance of our underlying hotel properties. We believe that these items are more representative of our asset base than our ongoing operations. We also use Adjusted FFO as one measure in determining our results after taking into account the impact of our capital structure. A reconciliation of net income (loss) to Adjusted FFO is set forth below under “Supplemental Financial Results.”

We caution investors that amounts presented in accordance with our definitions of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted FFO may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by other companies, because not all companies calculate these non-GAAP measures in the same manner. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted FFO, and any related per share measures, should not be considered as alternative measures of our net income (loss), operating performance, cash flow or liquidity. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted FFO may include funds that may not be available for our discretionary use due to functional requirements to conserve funds for capital expenditures and property acquisitions and other commitments and uncertainties. Although we believe that Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted FFO can enhance an investor’s understanding of our results of operations, these non-GAAP financial measures, when viewed individually, are not necessarily better indicators of any trend as compared to GAAP measures such as net income (loss) or cash flow from operations. In addition, you should be aware that adverse economic and market and other conditions may harm our cash flow.

Notes:

2012 adjusted revenue, OtherPAR and Total RevPAR reflect the impact from outsourcing the retail operations at Opryland, Texan and National. Revenue adjustment amounts have been revised slightly.

2012 adjusted OtherPAR and Total RevPAR reflect Marriott accounting procedures and do not exclude renovation rooms from the calculation of rooms available which is different from how the Company has accounted for renovation rooms in the past.
