Press Release
 


RLJ Lodging Trust Reports Second Quarter 2017 Results

- Net income of $42.5 million
- Pro forma Hotel EBITDA Margin of 37.7%
- Pro forma Consolidated Hotel EBITDA of $110.3 million



Bethesda, MD, August 3, 2017 – RLJ Lodging Trust (the “Company”) (NYSE: RLJ) today reported results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017.
 
Highlights
Net income decreased 27.7% to $42.5 million
Pro forma RevPAR decreased 3.4%, Pro forma Occupancy decreased 2.1%, and Pro forma ADR decreased 1.2%
Pro forma Hotel EBITDA Margin of 37.7%
Pro forma Consolidated Hotel EBITDA of $110.3 million

“As expected, the second quarter was soft as a result of a few transitory headwinds including convention center closures in three of our top markets and the Easter holiday shift, which was less favorable to our business centric customer mix,” commented Ross H. Bierkan, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Despite the revenue pressure, our margin decline of only 150 basis points was better than we anticipated and is a testament to our team’s hard work and our resilient operating model. With margins of 37.7%, we continue to produce one of the strongest margins in the lodging space while also generating significant cash flow. With our most challenging quarter now behind us, we look forward to lapping easier comps starting late in the third quarter and benefiting from a number of tailwinds next year.”

Financial and Operating Results
Performance metrics such as Occupancy, Average Daily Rate (“ADR”), Revenue Per Available Room (“RevPAR”), Hotel EBITDA, and Hotel EBITDA Margin are Pro forma. The prefix “Pro forma” as defined by the Company, denotes operating results which include results for periods prior to its ownership and excludes sold hotels. Pro forma RevPAR and Pro forma Hotel EBITDA Margin are reported on a comparable basis and therefore exclude any hotels sold during the period and non-comparable hotels that were not open for operation or were closed for renovation for comparable periods. Explanations of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Hotel EBITDA, Hotel EBITDA Margin, FFO, and Adjusted FFO, as well as reconciliations of those measures to net income or loss, if applicable, are included within this release. 

Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2017, decreased $16.3 million to $42.5 million, representing a 27.7% decrease over the comparable period in 2016. For the six months ended June 30, 2017, net income decreased $19.8 million to $64.2 million, representing a 23.6% decrease over the comparable period in 2016. Net income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, includes results from sold hotels.

Dividends
The Company’s Board of Trustees declared a cash dividend of $0.33 per common share of beneficial interest in the second quarter. The dividend was paid on July 14, 2017, to shareholders of record as of June 30, 2017.

Share Buyback

Subsequent Events
In connection with the proposed merger with FelCor Lodging Trust Incorporated, the Company filed with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-4 (File No. 333-218439) that includes a joint proxy statement of the Company and FelCor that also constitutes a prospectus of the Company. The registration statement was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 18, 2017, and the joint proxy/prospectus has been mailed or otherwise disseminated to the Company’s shareholders.

2017 Outlook
The Company’s outlook has been updated to reflect a more cautionary outlook for the second half of the year. The updated outlook excludes potential future acquisitions and dispositions, which could result in a material change to the Company’s outlook. The 2017 outlook is also based on a number of other assumptions, many of which are outside the Company’s control and all of which are subject to change.

Pro forma guidance removes income from hotels that have been sold. During the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company did not acquire or sell any hotels.

For the full year 2017, the Company anticipates:

Forward Looking Statements
The following information contains certain statements, other than purely historical information, including estimates, projections, statements relating to the Company’s business plans, objectives and expected operating results, and the assumptions upon which those statements are based, that are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These forward-looking statements generally are identified by the use of the words “believe,” “project,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “plan,” “may,” “will,” “will continue,” “intend,” “should,” or similar expressions. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions, beliefs, and expectations, such forward-looking statements are not predictions of future events or guarantees of future performance and the Company’s actual results could differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements. Some factors that might cause such a difference include the following: the current global economic uncertainty, increased direct competition, changes in government regulations or accounting rules, changes in local, national, and global real estate conditions, declines in the lodging industry, seasonality of the lodging industry, risks related to natural disasters, such as earthquakes and hurricanes, hostilities, including future terrorist attacks or fear of hostilities that affect travel, the Company’s ability to obtain lines of credit or permanent financing on satisfactory terms, changes in interest rates, access to capital through offerings of the Company’s common and preferred shares of beneficial interest, or debt, the Company’s ability to identify suitable acquisitions, the Company’s ability to close on identified acquisitions and integrate those businesses, and inaccuracies of the Company’s accounting estimates. Given these uncertainties, undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. Except as required by law, the Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. The Company cautions investors not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements and urges investors to carefully review the disclosures the Company makes concerning risks and uncertainties in the sections entitled “Risk Factors,” “Forward-Looking Statements,” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in the Company’s Annual Report, as well as risks, uncertainties and other factors discussed in other documents filed by the Company with the SEC.

RLJ Lodging Trust
Non-GAAP and Accounting Commentary
 
Non-Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) Financial Measures
The Company considers the following non-GAAP financial measures useful to investors as key supplemental measures of its performance: (1) FFO, (2) Adjusted FFO, (3) EBITDA, (4) Adjusted EBITDA, (5) Hotel EBITDA, and (6) Hotel EBITDA Margin. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered along with, but not as alternatives to, net income or loss as a measure of its operating performance. FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Hotel EBITDA, and Hotel EBITDA Margin as calculated by the Company, may not be comparable to other companies that do not define such terms exactly as the Company.
 
Funds From Operations (“FFO”)
The Company calculates FFO in accordance with standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT, which defines FFO as net income or loss (calculated in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains or losses from sales of real estate, impairment, the cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles, plus depreciation and amortization, and adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Historical cost accounting for real estate assets implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values instead have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, most real estate industry investors consider FFO to be helpful in evaluating a real estate company’s operations. The Company believes that the presentation of FFO provides useful information to investors regarding the Company’s operating performance and can facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods and between real estate investment trusts (“REITs”), even though FFO does not represent an amount that accrues directly to common shareholders.
 
The Company’s calculation of FFO may not be comparable to measures calculated by other companies who do not use the NAREIT definition of FFO or do not calculate FFO per diluted share in accordance with NAREIT guidance. Additionally, FFO may not be helpful when comparing the Company to non-REITs. The Company presents FFO attributable to common shareholders, which includes unitholders of limited partnership interest (“OP units”) in RLJ Lodging Trust, L.P., the Company’s operating partnership, because the OP units are redeemable for common shares of the Company. The Company believes it is meaningful for the investor to understand FFO attributable to all common shares and OP units.
 
Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization (“EBITDA”)
EBITDA is defined as net income or loss excluding: (1) interest expense; (2) provision for income taxes, including income taxes applicable to sales of assets; and (3) depreciation and amortization. The Company considers EBITDA useful to an investor in evaluating and facilitating comparisons of its operating performance between periods and between REITs by removing the impact of its capital structure (primarily interest expense) and asset base (primarily depreciation and amortization) from its operating results.

In addition, EBITDA is used as one measure in determining the value of hotel acquisitions and dispositions. The Company presents EBITDA attributable to common shareholders, which includes OP units, because the OP units are redeemable for common shares of the Company. The Company believes it is meaningful for the investor to understand EBITDA attributable to all common shares and OP units.

Adjustments to FFO and EBITDA
The Company adjusts FFO and EBITDA for certain items that the Company considers outside the normal course of operations or extraordinary. The Company believes that Adjusted FFO and Adjusted EBITDA provide useful supplemental information to investors regarding its ongoing operating performance that, when considered with net income, FFO, and EBITDA, is beneficial to an investor’s understanding of its operating performance. The Company adjusts FFO and EBITDA for the following items:

Transaction and Pursuit Costs: The Company excludes transaction and pursuit costs expensed during the period.
Non-Cash Expenses: The Company excludes the effect of certain non-cash items. The Company has excluded the amortization of share-based compensation, non-cash gain or loss on the sale of assets, and certain non-cash income taxes.
Other Non-Operational Expenses: The Company excludes the effect of certain non-operational expenses. The Company excludes property-level severance costs, debt modification and extinguishment costs, and other income and expenses outside the normal course of operations.

Hotel EBITDA and Hotel EBITDA Margin
With respect to Consolidated Hotel EBITDA, the Company believes that excluding the effect of corporate-level expenses and certain non-cash items provides a more complete understanding of the operating results over which individual hotels and operators have direct control. The Company believes property-level results provide investors with supplemental information about the ongoing operational performance of the Company’s hotels and the effectiveness of its third-party management companies.
 
Pro forma Consolidated Hotel EBITDA includes unadjusted prior ownership information provided by the sellers of the hotels for periods prior to our acquisition of the hotels, which has not been audited and excludes results from sold hotels as applicable. Pro forma Hotel EBITDA and Pro forma Hotel EBITDA Margin exclude the results of any non-comparable hotels that were under renovation or not open for the entirety of the comparable periods. The following is a summary of pro forma hotel adjustments:

Pro forma adjustments: Sold hotels
Hotels sold during the year ended December 31, 2016, are noted below:
Holiday Inn Express Merrillville was sold in February 2016
SpringHill Suites Bakersfield was sold in November 2016
Hilton Garden Inn New York 35th Street was sold in December 2016
Hilton New York Fashion District was sold in December 2016
