RLHC Reports Second Quarter 2015 Results
Achieved 13.8% Systemwide RevPAR growth;
Continued Network Expansion with 17 New Franchise and Management Deals Executed in 2015;
Acquired GuestHouse International and Settle Inn Brands Increasing Portfolio to 129 Hotels in 30 States

SPOKANE, WA, August 4, 2015 - (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- RLHC (“Red Lion Hotels Corporation”) (NYSE: RLH), a hospitality company that operates and franchises upscale, midscale and economy hotels, today reported second quarter 2015 results.

Highlights:
RevPAR from comparable company operated hotels increased 13.7 percent year over year in the second quarter. Comparable Red Lion franchised hotels RevPAR increased 13.6 percent year over year in the second quarter.
ADR and Occupancy from comparable company operated hotels improved 5.0 percent and 570 bps year over year, respectively, in the second quarter. Red Lion franchised hotels ADR and Occupancy improved 3.5 percent and 570 bps year over year, respectively, in the second quarter.
Adjusted EBITDA in the second quarter improved 14.2% to $4.4 million compared to $3.9 million in the prior year.
Net loss per share as reported in the second quarter declined to $(0.10) compared with a net income per share of $0.26 in the prior year. After adjusting for special items, net loss per share of $(0.02) in the second quarter of 2015 was comparable to an adjusted net loss per share of $(0.02) in the second quarter of 2014.
On August 1, opened the first Hotel RL at Baltimore's Inner Harbor after completing the first phase of a joint venture and refinancing transaction on the property.
Acquired 73 franchise license agreements and all the intellectual property of GuestHouse International and Settle Inn brands, increasing RLHC’s portfolio to 129 hotels in 30 states.

Comparable operating results (as disclosed in the table by the same title) for the periods included in this release reflect the operating results of hotels that were in the system for at least one full calendar year as of the end of the current period other than hotels for which comparable results were not available. Throughout this release the Company refers to certain non-GAAP financial measures, such as EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. Please refer to the tables attached to this release for a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable financial measure determined in accordance with GAAP.

"We generated our second consecutive quarter of double digit comparable systemwide RevPAR growth," said RLHC President & CEO Greg Mount. "Importantly, these outstanding results were driven by significant lifts in both occupancy and rate, underscoring the strong consumer reception to our product, marketing vehicles and RevPak guest management system, all of which is enabling us to take share from competitors. This revenue growth, coupled with the sustainable operational improvements we have implemented, drove considerable hotel margin expansion and supported our ninth consecutive quarter of positive Adjusted EBITDA."

Mr. Mount continued, "We not only posted strong performance at our core hotels, we have also made significant progress on our national expansion strategy. We opened our first Hotel RL at Baltimore's Inner Harbor last weekend and the guest response to the new brand has been even better than we hoped. In addition, year-to-date, we have executed 16 franchise and management agreements for our core Red Lion brands, which expanded our footprint into Colorado, Pennsylvania and Texas. Further, with the closing of our acquisition of the GuestHouse International and Settle Inn brands in April, we have more than doubled our national footprint with 129 properties in 30 states. Integration is on track and we expect to leverage our superior technology and operating programs to meaningfully enhance the





performance of these hotels. With a full suite of brands across the upscale, midscale and economy segments, we believe we have substantial runway to drive continued growth for RLHC and our shareholders."

Second Quarter 2015 Results

Comparable revenue from company operated hotels was $30.1 million, an increase of $3.4 million or 12.9 percent compared with the same period a year ago, primarily due to an increase in RevPAR. Comparable company operated RevPAR increased 13.7 percent to $71.65 driven by a 5.0 percent increase in ADR to $96.33 and a 570 basis point increase in occupancy. Systemwide Red Lion branded RevPAR increased 13.8 percent to $62.36 primarily from a 4.5 percent increase in ADR to $92.17 and a 560 basis point increase in occupancy. Comparable company operated hotel direct operating margin increased 650 basis points to 27.2 percent from 20.7 percent, mainly due the increase in RevPAR.

Franchise revenue was $3.2 million, a decrease of $1.2 million or 27.5 percent compared with the same period a year ago, principally due to a $2.1 million termination fee received in 2014 partially offset by a higher number of franchises added to the system in 2015. Net segment profits decreased $2.2 million over the prior year due to the $2.1 termination fee in the prior year.

Entertainment revenue decreased by $3.5 million and net segment profits decreased by $0.9 million compared with the same period a year ago, mainly due to a significant reduction in the number of show nights versus the prior year.

Net loss attributable to RLHC was $1.9 million compared with net income of $5.1 million in the same period a year ago. The decrease is primarily due to the recognition of $3.5 million of gain on the sales of properties in 2014, the $2.1 million early franchise termination fee in 2014, and the decreased profitability of our entertainment segment. Net loss per share was $0.10 versus a net income of $0.26 per share for the same period in 2014. After adjusting for special items, adjusted net loss per share in 2015 was $0.02, flat with an adjusted net loss of $0.02 per share in 2014.

Adjusted EBITDA improved 14.2% to $4.4 million compared with $3.9 million in the same period a year ago. The increase is primarily due to improved company-operated hotel operations, partially offset by lower year-over-year income in the Company's entertainment division.

Liquidity and Balance Sheet
At June 30, 2015, the Company had $81.3 million in cash and cash equivalents and consolidated outstanding debt of $95.5 million.

Capital expenditures for the first six months totaled $7.8 million, primarily utilized for renovations of Hotel RL Baltimore Inner Harbor and the twelve RL Venture properties.

Comparable Operations and Data From Continuing Operations
(unaudited)
($ in thousands)
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Certain operating results for the periods included in this report are shown on a comparable hotel basis. Comparable hotels are defined as properties that were operated by the Company for at least one full calendar year as of the end of the current period other than hotels for which comparable results were not available. Comparable results exclude eight hotels which were sold or closed, one hotel which was converted from owned to managed, one hotel which was converted from franchised to managed, and one hotel which was not yet operating.
We utilize these comparable measures because management finds them a useful tool to perform more meaningful comparisons of past, present and future operating results and as a means to evaluate the results of core, ongoing operations. We believe they are a complement to reported operating results. Comparable operating results are not intended to represent reported operating results defined by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"), and such information should not be considered as an alternative to reported information or any other measure of performance prescribed by GAAP.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures

EBITDA is defined as net income (loss), before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. We believe it is a useful financial performance measure due to the significance of our long-lived assets and level of indebtedness.
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted net income (loss) are additional measures of financial performance. We believe that the inclusion or exclusion of certain special items, such as gains and losses on asset dispositions and impairments, is necessary to provide the most accurate measure of core operating results and as a means to evaluate comparative results.
EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted net income (loss) are commonly used measures of performance in the industry. We utilize these measures because management finds them a useful tool to perform more meaningful comparisons of past, present and future operating results and as a means to evaluate the results of core, ongoing operations. We believe they are a complement to reported operating results. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted net income (loss) are not intended to represent net income (loss) defined by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"), and such information should not be considered as an alternative to reported information or any other measure of performance prescribed by GAAP. In addition, other companies in our industry may calculate EBITDA and in particular Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted net income (loss) differently than we do or may not calculate them at all, limiting the usefulness of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted net income (loss) as comparative measures.
