Financial and Operating Results

Total revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2014 increased 7.9% over the comparable period in 2013 to $338.6 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, total revenues increased 7.7% over the comparable period in 2013 to $930.8 million.

Revenue per available room (“RevPAR”) for the three months ended September 30, 2014 increased 8.2% over the comparable period in 2013, driven by an improvement in average daily rate (“ADR”) of 7.4% and an increase in occupancy to 79.3% as compared to 78.7% in the comparable period in 2013. ADR growth was driven primarily by a combination of price increases and a shift in customer mix toward shorter stay, higher profit generating guests. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, RevPAR increased 7.6% over the comparable period in 2013, driven by an increase in ADR of 6.7% and an increase in occupancy to 76.1% from 75.5%.

Hotel operating margin1 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 decreased 120 basis points over the comparable period in 2013 to 53.1%. Hotel operating margin flow-through, defined as the change in hotel operating profit1 divided by the change in total room and other hotel revenues, was 38.1%. After adjusting for $3.4 million of system-wide brand-related costs that were classified as general and administrative expenses last year, hotel operating margin was approximately even with last year, and adjusted flow through was 51.8%. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, hotel operating margin decreased 90 basis points versus the comparable period in 2013 to 52.1%. Hotel operating margin flow-through was 41.2%. After adjusting for $9.2 million of system-wide brand-related costs that were classified as general and administrative expenses last year, hotel operating margin increased 20 basis points as compared to last year, at 51.9%, and adjusted flow through was 54.8%.

Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended September 30, 2014 increased $13.0 million to $163.1 million representing an 8.7% increase over the comparable period in 2013. Adjusted EBITDA excludes the gain on the sale of two Hometown Inn properties of $0.9 million, non-cash foreign currency transaction loss of $1.1

million, non-cash equity-based compensation of $2.3 million and other expenses of approximately $1.0 million, which consisted of public company transition costs, costs related to the recently completed secondary offering and loss on disposal of assets. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, Adjusted EBITDA increased $35.2 million to $433.3 million, an increase of 8.8%.

Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2014 was $60.2 million, compared to net income of $46.6 million in the comparable period in 2013. Income tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2014 was $19.0 million, compared to $0.4 million in the comparable period in 2013. The year over year income tax expense increase is due to the Company’s post-IPO corporate structure. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, net income was $122.6 million, compared to $98.0 million in the comparable period in 2013.

Adjusted Paired Share Income for the three months ended September 30, 2014 was $59.9 million, or $0.29 per diluted Paired Share. Adjusted Paired Share Income, a non-GAAP measure, represents net income, as adjusted, attributable to the consolidated entity, whose representative equity security is a Paired Share. A Paired Share entitles holders to participate in 100% of the common equity and earnings of both Extended Stay America, Inc. and ESH Hospitality, Inc. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, Adjusted Paired Share Income was $137.0 million, or $0.67 per diluted Paired Share.

Capital

The Company invested $40.2 million in capital expenditures during the third quarter of 2014, and $125.9 million year-to-date, which includes capital renovations, regular maintenance capital and information technology projects.

Disclosure Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Hotel Operating Profit, Hotel Operating Margin, Paired Share Income, Adjusted Paired Share Income and Adjusted Paired Share Income per Paired Share, which are detailed in the reconciliation tables that accompany this release, are used by the Company as supplemental performance measures. The Company believes these financial measures provide useful information to investors regarding our results of operations and allow investors to evaluate the ongoing operating performance of our hotels and facilitate comparisons between the Company and other lodging companies, hotel owners and other capital-intensive companies. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Hotel Operating Profit, Hotel Operating Margin, Paired Share Income, Adjusted Paired Share Income and Adjusted Paired Share Income per Paired Share are not recognized terms under U.S. GAAP. Because certain companies do not calculate EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Hotel Operating Profit, Hotel Operating Margin, Paired Share Income, Adjusted Paired Share Income and Adjusted Paired Share Income per Paired Share in the same way, and because certain other companies may not perform such calculations, those measures as used by other companies may not be consistent with the way the Company calculates such measures and should not be considered as alternative measures of operating profit or net income calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The Company’s presentation of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Hotel Operating Profit, Hotel Operating Margin, Paired Share Income, Adjusted Paired Share Income and Adjusted Paired Share Income per Paired Share does not replace the presentation of the Company’s financial results in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
