XENIA HOTELS & RESORTS ANNOUNCES PRELIMINARY FULL YEAR 2014 RESULTS

AND REAFFIRMS 2015 GUIDANCE

Orlando, FL – February 24, 2015 – Xenia Hotels & Resorts, Inc. (NYSE: XHR) (“Xenia” or the “Company”) today announced preliminary pro forma unaudited results for its full year ended December 31, 2014 following the successful spin-off from its former parent, Inland American Real Estate Trust, Inc. (“Inland American”), which occurred on February 3, 2015. Xenia expects to report its full results and file its form 10-K on or before March 31, 2015, consistent with its status as a non-accelerated filer. The Company also reaffirmed its outlook for 2015.

Xenia expects the following results:

Total pro forma revenues for the twelve months ended December 31, 2014 are expected to increase $58.0 million, or 6.7%, from the prior year. RevPAR for the twelve months ended December 31, 2014 is expected to increase 6.7% from the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA is expected to increase 9.0% to $254.8 million from the prior year.

Xenia Hotels & Resorts

Xenia’s full year 2014 results were negatively impacted by the August 2014 earthquake in Northern California, which resulted in damage at two of the Company’s hotels, the Marriott Napa Valley Hotel & Spa and the Andaz Napa. The Marriott sustained limited damage and fully re-opened in October 2014. The Andaz partially re-opened in December 2014 with all rooms available for occupancy by the end of January 2015. As a result, Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be impacted between $4 million and $5 million. Excluding these two properties from 2013 and 2014 results, RevPAR for the 44 remaining properties in Xenia’s portfolio is expected to increase by 7.7% on a same-store basis. Including the estimated lost EBITDA from these two hotels, which the Company expects to recover through business interruption insurance in 2015, the expected Adjusted EBITDA increase in 2014 for the 46 hotel portfolio would have ranged from 10.7% to 11.1%.

Xenia’s outlook for 2015, which remains unchanged from its outlook announced in January 2015, anticipates RevPAR growth of 5.0% to 7.5%, Adjusted EBITDA of $275 million to $295 million, and Adjusted FFO of $212 million to $232 million. In addition, the Company anticipates total capital expenditures in 2015 of approximately $50 million to $60 million. The Company’s outlook for 2015 incorporates all expected renovation disruption, assumes no acquisitions or dispositions, and includes the completion of its two development properties, which are both anticipated in the second half of the year.

Statement Regarding Unaudited Financial Information

Our combined consolidated audited financial statements for the twelve months ending December 31, 2014 are not yet available. Accordingly, the financial results we present above are preliminary and subject to the completion of our financial closing procedures and any adjustments that may result from the completion of the quarterly review and annual audit of our combined consolidated financial statements. As a result, these preliminary results may differ from the actual results that will be reflected in our consolidated financial statements for the 2014 fiscal year when they are completed and publicly disclosed. These preliminary results may change and those changes may be material. Our expectations with respect to our unaudited results for the period discussed above are solely based upon management estimates based on currently available information and are the responsibility of management. Our independent registered public accounting firm has not completed its year-end audit and, accordingly, does not express an opinion or any other form of assurance about them.

Presentation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We prepare our financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Within our press release announcing preliminary pro forma full year 2014 results, we have made reference to certain non-GAAP financial measures including “Adjusted EBITDA” and “Adjusted FFO”. These non-GAAP measures have been included as supplemental information. We believe that these measures represent a useful internal measure of performance. Accordingly, where these non-GAAP measures are provided, it is done so that investors have the same financial data that management uses in evaluating performance with the belief that it will assist the investment community in assessing our underlying performance on a year-over-year basis. However, because these measures are not determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, such measures are susceptible to varying calculations and not all companies calculate the measures in the same manner. As a result, the aforementioned measures as presented may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. These non-GAAP financial measures are presented as supplemental information and not as an alternative to any GAAP measurements. Please see below for a reconciliation of net income (loss) to FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA.
