“We are very pleased with our recently announced property sales and preferred equity offering, all of which have been incorporated into our updated outlook,” said Jon Bortz, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Pebblebrook Hotel Trust. “We are also updating our second quarter outlook to reflect our quarter-to-date hotel operating performance. Our same-property RevPAR growth for April was 1.5% and May was approximately 4.0 to 4.5%. Our performance in May was slightly weaker than our forecast and reflects the softer overall industry results for May. Since we expect this weaker than expected performance to continue in June, we are slightly reducing the high end of our second quarter outlook.”
The Company’s outlook for 2016 and the second quarter of 2016 assumes no additional acquisitions or dispositions beyond the hotels the Company owned as of June 6, 2016 and reflects the Company’s 49 percent interest in its six-hotel joint venture (the “Manhattan Collection”). As a result of the sales of Viceroy Miami and The Redbury Hotel, Same-Property numbers reflect the removal of those properties for the second quarter and the remainder of the year. The Company’s outlook also incorporates all of the expected disruption associated with the various renovations and repositionings at our properties, including The Westin Colonnade, Coral Gables, Union Station Hotel Nashville, Autograph Collection, Revere Hotel Boston Common, the Tuscan Fisherman’s Wharf, a Best Western Plus Hotel, Hotel Palomar Los Angeles Beverly Hills and Mondrian Los Angeles, all of which already have or are expected to commence renovations in 2016 or early 2017.
The Company’s estimates and assumptions, including the Company’s outlook for second quarter 2016, for Same-Property RevPAR, Same-Property RevPAR growth rate, Same-Property Room Revenue growth rate, Same-Property EBITDA, Same-Property EBITDA growth rate, Same-Property EBITDA Margin and Same-Property EBITDA Margin growth rate include the hotels owned as of June 6, 2016, as if they had been owned by the Company for all of 2015 and 2016, except for Hotel Vintage Portland, which is not included in the first quarter, Hotel Zeppelin San Francisco, which is not included in the first and fourth quarters and Viceroy Miami and The Redbury Hotel, both of which are not included in the second, third and fourth quarters.
If any of the foregoing estimates and assumptions prove to be inaccurate, actual results, including the outlook, may vary, and could vary significantly, from the amounts shown above.

To supplement the Company’s consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), this press release includes certain non-GAAP financial measures as defined under Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Rules. These measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative to, measures prepared in accordance with GAAP and may be different from similarly titled non-GAAP measures used by other companies. In addition, these non-GAAP measures are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. Non-GAAP measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with the Company’s results of operations determined in accordance with GAAP. Funds from Operations (“FFO”) - FFO represents net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), plus real estate-related depreciation and amortization and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships. The Company considers FFO a useful measure of performance for an equity REIT because it facilitates an understanding of the Company's operating performance without giving effect to real estate depreciation and amortization, which assume that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, the Company believes that FFO provides a meaningful indication of its performance. The Company also considers FFO an appropriate performance measure given its wide use by investors and analysts. The Company computes FFO in accordance with standards established by the Board of Governors of NAREIT in its March 1995 White Paper (as amended in November 1999 and April 2002), which may differ from the methodology for calculating FFO utilized by other equity REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to that of other REITs. Further, FFO does not represent amounts available for management’s discretionary use because of needed capital replacement or expansion, debt service obligations or other commitments and uncertainties, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund the Company’s cash needs, including its ability to make distributions. The Company presents FFO per diluted share calculations that are based on the outstanding dilutive common shares plus the outstanding Operating Partnership units for the periods presented. The Company also evaluates its performance by reviewing Adjusted FFO because it believes that adjusting FFO to exclude certain recurring and non-recurring items described below provides useful supplemental information regarding the Company's ongoing operating performance and that the presentation of Adjusted FFO, when combined with the primary GAAP presentation of net income (loss), more completely describes the Company's operating performance. The Company adjusts FFO for the following items, which may occur in any period, and refers to these measures as Adjusted FFO: - Non-cash ground rent: The Company excludes the non-cash ground rent expense, which is primarily made up of the straight-line rent impact from a ground lease. - Other: The Company excludes Other expenses which include hotel acquisition and disposition costs, management/franchise contract transition costs, interest expense adjustment for acquired liabilities, capital lease adjustment and non-cash amortization of acquired intangibles, in addition to the ineffective portion of the change in fair value of the hedging instruments during the period, because the Company believes that including these non-cash adjustments in FFO does not reflect the underlying financial performance of the Company and its hotels. The Company’s presentation of FFO in accordance with the NAREIT White Paper, and as adjusted by the Company, should not be considered as an alternative to net income (computed in accordance with GAAP) as an indicator of the Company’s financial performance or to cash flow from operating activities (computed in accordance with GAAP) as an indicator of its liquidity. Any differences are a result of rounding. | ||||||||||||||||

To supplement the Company’s consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), this press release includes certain non-GAAP financial measures as defined under Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Rules. These measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative to, measures prepared in accordance with GAAP and may be different from similarly titled non-GAAP measures used by other companies. In addition, these non-GAAP measures are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. Non-GAAP measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with the Company’s results of operations determined in accordance with GAAP. Earnings before Interest, Taxes, and Depreciation and Amortization ("EBITDA") - The Company believes that EBITDA provides investors a useful financial measure to evaluate its operating performance, excluding the impact of our capital structure (primarily interest expense) and our asset base (primarily depreciation and amortization). The Company also evaluates its performance by reviewing Adjusted EBITDA because it believes that adjusting EBITDA to exclude certain recurring and non-recurring items described below provides useful supplemental information regarding the Company's ongoing operating performance and that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA, when combined with the primary GAAP presentation of net income (loss), more completely describes the Company's operating performance. The Company adjusts EBITDA for the following items, which may occur in any period, and refers to these measures as Adjusted EBITDA: - Non-cash ground rent: The Company excludes the non-cash ground rent expense, which is primarily made up of the straight-line rent impact from a ground lease. - Other: The Company excludes Other expenses which include hotel acquisition and disposition costs, management/franchise contract transition costs and non-cash amortization of acquired intangibles, in addition to the ineffective portion of the change in fair value of the hedging instruments during the period, because the Company believes that including these non-cash adjustments in EBITDA does not reflect the underlying financial performance of the Company and its hotels. The Company’s presentation of EBITDA, and as adjusted by the Company, should not be considered as an alternative to net income (computed in accordance with GAAP) as an indicator of the Company’s financial performance or to cash flow from operating activities (computed in accordance with GAAP) as an indicator of its liquidity.
