Supplemental disclosure of noncash investing and financing activities:

During the first quarter of 2005 and 2004, we issued approximately 329,000 shares and 600,000 shares, respectively, of common stock upon the conversion of operating partnership units of Host Marriott, L.P. held by minority partners valued at approximately $5 million and $7 million, respectively.

On January 3, 2005, we exchanged $47 million of preferred units of Vornado Realty Trust, which we had purchased on December 30, 2004, for a minority partner’s interest in a consolidated partnership.

On January 6, 2005, we sold the Hartford Marriott at Farmington for a purchase price of approximately $25 million, including the assumption of approximately $20 million of mortgage debt by the buyer.

Host Marriott Corporation, a Maryland corporation operating through an umbrella partnership structure, is primarily the owner of hotel properties. We operate as a self-managed and self-administered real estate investment trust, or REIT, with our operations conducted solely through Host Marriott, L.P., or the operating partnership, or Host LP, and its subsidiaries. We are the sole general partner of the operating partnership and as of March 25, 2005, owned approximately 94% of the partnership interests in the operating partnership, which are referred to as OP units.

We have condensed or omitted certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. We believe the disclosures made are adequate to prevent the information presented from being misleading. However, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.

In our opinion, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary to present fairly our financial position as of March 25, 2005 and the results of our operations and cash flows for the quarters ended March 25, 2005 and March 26, 2004. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of full-year performance because of the impact of seasonal and short-term variations.

Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period financial statements to conform to the current presentation.

Revenues

Our results of operations primarily reflect revenues of our hotels, which are recognized when the services are rendered.

Reporting Periods

The results we report in our consolidated statement of operations are based on results reported to us by our hotel managers. These hotel managers use different reporting periods. Marriott International, Inc., the manager of the majority of our properties, uses a fiscal year ending on the Friday closest to December 31 and reports twelve weeks of operations for the first three quarters of the year and sixteen or seventeen weeks for the fourth quarter of the year for its Marriott-managed hotels. In contrast, other managers of our hotels, such as Hyatt, report results on a monthly basis. For results reported by hotel managers using a monthly reporting period (approximately one-fourth of our full-service hotels), the month of operation that ends after our fiscal quarter-end is included in our results of operations in the following fiscal quarter. Accordingly, our results of operations include results from hotel managers reporting results on a monthly basis as follows: first quarter (January, February), second quarter (March to May), third quarter (June to August), and fourth quarter (September to December). We elected to adopt the reporting period used by Marriott International modified so that our fiscal year always ends on December 31. Accordingly, our first three quarters of operations end on the same day as Marriott International but our fourth quarter ends on December 31.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash includes reserves for debt service, real estate taxes, insurance, certain furniture and fixtures as well as cash collateral and excess cash flow deposits which are the result of mortgage debt agreement restrictions and provisions. As of March 25, 2005, $169 million of the proceeds from the issuance of $650 million 6³/₈% Series N senior notes are included in restricted cash. This amount was held by a trustee and was used to redeem $169 million of our Series B senior notes on April 11, 2005. See Note 9.

Furniture, Fixtures and Equipment Replacement Fund

We maintain a furniture, fixtures and equipment replacement fund for renewal and replacement capital expenditures at certain hotels, which is generally funded with approximately 5% of property revenues.

Accounting for Stock-based Compensation

We maintain two stock-based employee compensation plans. Prior to 2002, we accounted for those plans in accordance with APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.” Effective January 1, 2002, we adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” and applied it prospectively to all employee awards granted, modified or settled after January 1, 2002. The following table illustrates the effect on net income (loss) and loss per share if the fair value based method had been applied to all of our outstanding and unvested awards in each period.

Application of New Accounting Standards

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123R, Share-Based Payment, (“FAS 123R”), which requires that the cost resulting from all share-based payment transactions be recognized in the financial statements. The statement requires a public entity to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award (with limited exceptions). That cost will be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award—the requisite service period (usually the vesting period). No compensation cost is recognized for equity instruments for which employees do not render the requisite service. Employee share purchase plans will not result in recognition of compensation cost if certain conditions are met; those conditions are much the same as the related conditions in FAS 123. The provisions of FAS 123R are effective as of the beginning of the first annual reporting period that begins after June 15, 2005. We adopted the fair value provisions of SFAS 123 in 2002, and therefore, have recognized the costs associated with all share-based payment awards granted after January 1, 2002. As a result, the adoption of this standard in 2005 will not have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.

Basic earnings (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted earnings (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders as adjusted for potentially dilutive securities, by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding plus potentially dilutive securities. Dilutive securities may include shares granted under comprehensive stock

plans, preferred OP units held by minority partners, other minority interests that have the option to convert their interests to our common OP units, the Convertible Subordinated Debentures and the Exchangeable Senior Debentures. No effect is shown for securities that are anti-dilutive.

On March 10, 2005, we issued $650 million of 6³/₈% Series N senior notes and received net proceeds of approximately $640 million after underwriting fees and expenses. The Series N senior notes mature on March 15, 2015 and are equal in right of payment with all of our other senior indebtedness. Interest is payable semiannually in arrears on March 15 and September 15, beginning on September 15, 2005. On March 17, 2005, we used approximately $291 million of the net proceeds to purchase $280 million of our 8³/₈% Series E senior notes. During the first quarter, we recorded a loss, which is included in interest expense, of approximately $12 million on the early extinguishment of debt, which includes approximately $11 million of call premiums and the acceleration of the related deferred financing costs of approximately $1 million. We used the remaining proceeds in the second quarter to retire senior notes and mortgage debt. See note 9.

On March 21, 2005, our Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.08 per share for our common stock. The dividend was paid on April 15, 2005 to stockholders of record as of March 31, 2005.

Additionally, on March 21, 2005, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.625 per share for our Class B and C preferred stock and a dividend of $0.5546875 for our Class E preferred stock. The first quarter dividends were paid on April 15, 2005 to stockholders of record as of March 31, 2005.

We consider each one of our full-service hotels to be an operating segment, none of which meets the threshold for a reportable segment. We also allocate resources and assess operating performance based on individual hotels. All of our non-full-service hotel activities (primarily our limited-service leased hotels and office buildings) are immaterial. Accordingly, we report one business segment, hotel ownership. As of March 25, 2005, our foreign operations consist of four properties located in Canada and one property located in Mexico. There were no intercompany sales between our domestic properties and our foreign properties. The following table presents revenues for each of the geographical areas in which we operate:

Our other comprehensive income (loss) primarily consists of unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency translation adjustments and the receipt of cash from HMS Host Corporation, or HM Services, subsequent to the exercise of the options held by certain former and current employees of Marriott International, pursuant to our distribution agreement with HM Services.

We sold four hotels during the first quarter of 2005 (the Torrance Marriott, the Albuquerque Marriott, the Hartford Marriott at Farmington and the Tampa Westshore Marriott) for net proceeds of approximately $100 million. In connection with the sales, approximately $20 million of mortgage debt on the Hartford Marriott at Farmington was assumed by the buyer. All of these properties were classified as held for sale as of December 31, 2004. The following table summarizes the revenues, income before taxes, and the gain on disposal, net of tax, of the hotels which have been reclassified to discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of operations for the periods presented, including the operations of nine additional hotels through the date of their disposition in 2004.

On March 10, 2005, we issued $650 million of 6³/₈% Series N senior notes due in 2015 and received net proceeds of approximately $640 million, of which $291 million were used to retire $280 million of the 8³/₈% Series E senior notes during the first quarter. On April 11, 2005, we used $174 million of the proceeds to redeem $169 million of the 7⁷/₈% Series B senior notes and to pay the related call premiums. On April 22, 2005, we discharged the remaining $20 million in Series E senior notes for $21 million. On May 2, 2005, we used $150 million of the remaining proceeds to prepay the 9%, $140 million mortgage debt secured by two of our Ritz-Carlton hotels and to pay the prepayment penalties on the loan. The losses related to the prepayment of the mortgage debt, the redemption of the Series B senior notes and the discharge of the remaining Series E senior notes, totaling approximately $18 million, will be recognized in the second quarter.

On April 20, 2005, we announced that we will redeem, at par, all four million shares of our 10% Class B Cumulative Redeemable Preferred stock (“Class B preferred stock”) for approximately $101 million on May 20, 2005, including accrued dividends. The fair value of our Class B preferred stock (which is equal to the redemption price) exceeds the carrying value of the preferred stock by approximately $4 million. The $4 million represents the original issuance costs. Accordingly, when we redeem the Class B preferred stock, this amount will be reflected in the determination of net income available to common stockholders for the purpose of calculating our basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share.

As of March 25, 2005, the majority of our investment in affiliates balance was the result of our 50% ownership interest in CBM Joint Venture LLC, or CBM Joint Venture, which owns 120 Courtyard by Marriott properties. On March 29, 2005, we sold 85% of our interest in the joint venture for approximately $92 million. In conjunction with the sale of our interest, CBM Joint Venture was converted into a limited partnership. As a result of a restructuring of the joint venture and additional capital investment by the new general partner, we now own a 3.6% limited partner interest in the newly formed partnership, which we have the right to cause the partnership to redeem, under certain conditions, between December 2007 and December 2009. Starting December 9, 2009, the partnership will have the right to redeem our remaining interest. We will record a gain on the sale of approximately $42 million, net of taxes, in the second quarter.

Quarterly Summary

As of April 30, 2005, we own 107 full-service hotel properties, which operate primarily in the luxury and upper-upscale hotel sectors. For a general overview of our business, see our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Our Outlook. We believe that lodging demand will continue to grow during 2005. In the first quarter of 2005, RevPAR for our comparable hotels increased 7.6% over the same period last year. RevPAR is defined as the product of the average daily room rate charged and the average daily occupancy achieved and is generally considered a key indicator of revenues for hotels.

Improvements in RevPAR for the first quarter of 2005 were primarily driven by an increase in average room rate of 6.8% at our comparable hotels. We expect that lodging demand will continue to strengthen during the year, which should allow our managers to continue to increase the rates at our hotels. This is a result of a number of positive trends such as strong U.S. GDP growth, low supply growth of new hotels, a continued increase in corporate transient demand and a solid group booking pace. As a result of these trends, we expect comparable hotel RevPAR to increase approximately 7% to 9% for full year 2005 and 8% to 10% for the second quarter.

The performance of our portfolio is also significantly affected by the results of our large hotels, including our convention hotels, the majority of which are located in urban locations. Convention hotels have historically outperformed in the early stages of an industry downturn; however, they also lag the industry in performance in the early stages of recovery. This is due to the longer booking lead-time for large group business and the level of transient demand required for the greater capacity of rooms. We expect the increase in demand to improve operations at our large convention hotels, which should positively affect margin and RevPAR growth.

We assess profitability by measuring changes in our operating margins, which are operating profit as a percentage of total revenues. Operating margins improved during the first quarter, as the average room rate increases at our hotels significantly exceeded the rate of inflation, continuing a trend which began during the second half of 2004. Operating margins continue to be affected, however, by certain of our costs, primarily wages, benefits,

12

Table of Contents

utilities and sales and marketing, which also increased at a rate greater than inflation. We expect these costs to continue to increase at a rate greater than inflation in the near term. In addition to room revenues, approximately 30% of our revenues are from food and beverage operations. During the first quarter, food and beverage revenues growth at our comparable hotels was 3.5%. As the economy continues to expand, we expect to see an increase in food and beverage revenues, in particular catering business, which should improve operating margins.

We also expect to see improvements in RevPAR and operating margins as we continue our strategy of recycling assets. Over the past year, we have been acquiring upper-upscale and luxury properties in urban and resort/convention locations, where further large-scale lodging development is limited, and selling assets in suburban, secondary and tertiary markets. The assets we have been acquiring have higher RevPAR, higher margins and, we believe, higher growth potential than those we have sold. Over time, this should contribute to improvements in overall RevPAR and margins, as well as an increase in the average per-room replacement cost of our portfolio.

While we believe the combination of improved demand trends and low supply growth trends in the lodging industry discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K creates the opportunity for improvements in our business in 2005, there can be no assurances that any increases in hotel revenues or earnings at our properties will continue for any number of reasons, including slower than anticipated growth in the economy and changes in travel patterns.

Recent Events

On March 10, 2005, the Company issued $650 million of 6³/₈% Series N senior notes due in 2015 and received net proceeds of approximately $640 million. We used approximately $291 million of the net proceeds in the first quarter to purchase $280 million of our 8³/₈% Series E senior notes in a tender offer together with a consent solicitation and to pay the related premiums and recognized a $12 million loss on the early extinguishment of the debt for the payment of call premiums and the acceleration of the related deferred financing costs. The remaining proceeds have been used in the second quarter as follows:

The losses related to the prepayment of the mortgage debt, the redemption of the Series B senior notes and the discharge of the remaining Series E senior notes, totaling approximately $18 million, will be recognized in the second quarter. For further discussion of the Series N senior notes, see “Debt.”

On April 20, 2005, we announced that we will redeem, at par, all four million shares of our 10% Class B Cumulative Redeemable preferred stock (“Class B preferred stock”) for approximately $101 million on May 20, 2005, including accrued dividends. The fair value of our Class B preferred stock (which is equal to the redemption price) exceeds the carrying value of the preferred stock by approximately $4 million. The $4 million represents the original issuance costs. Accordingly, when we redeem the Class B preferred stock, this amount will be reflected in the determination of net income available to common stockholders for the purpose of calculating our basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share and our FFO per diluted share (as defined herein).

As of March 25, 2005, the majority of our investment in affiliates balance was the result of our 50% ownership interest in CBM Joint Venture LLC, or CBM Joint Venture, which owns 120 Courtyard by Marriott properties. On March 29, 2005, we sold 85% of our interest in the joint venture for approximately $92 million. In conjunction with the sale of our interest, the CBM Joint Venture was converted into a limited partnership. As a result of a restructuring of the joint venture, we now own a 3.6% limited partner interest in the newly formed partnership, which we have the right to cause the partnership to redeem, under certain conditions, between December 2007 and December 2009. Starting December 9, 2009, the partnership will also have the right to redeem our remaining interest. We will record a gain on the sale of approximately $42 million, net of taxes, in the second quarter. There have been no cash distributions to us from the CBM Joint Venture since 2001. The sale of our interest is consistent with our strategy of disposing non-core assets. We expect to use the proceeds to make acquisitions, retire debt or for general corporate purposes.

Results of Operations

The following table reflects certain line items from our statements of operations and other significant operating statistics (in millions, except operating statistics and percentages):

2005 Compared to 2004

Hotel Sales Overview. Hotel sales increased $41 million, or 5.5%, to $789 million for the first quarter of 2005 as compared to $748 million for the first quarter of 2004. Hotel sales for 2005 include approximately $23 million of sales from the three hotels acquired in 2004 and exclude sales for the properties we sold in January 2005 for all periods presented, which have been classified as discontinued operations. See “Discontinued Operations” below. Comparable hotel sales increased 5.4%, or $40 million, to $783 million. The growth in revenues reflects the increase in comparable RevPAR of 7.6% for the first quarter of 2005, as a result of an increase in average room rates of 6.8% and an increase in occupancy of 0.5 percentage points. Food and beverage revenues for our comparable hotels increased 3.5%, primarily due to an increase in catering revenues.

We discuss operating results for our full-service hotels on a comparable basis, which is properties that we have owned throughout the first quarter of 2005 and 2004, while eliminating the results of properties acquired or sold, or that incurred significant property damage or large scale capital improvements during these periods. As of March 25, 2005, 101 of our 107 full-service hotels have been classified as comparable hotels. The following discussion is of the sales results of our comparable hotels considering the mix of business (i.e. transient or group), property type (i.e. urban, suburban, resort/convention or airport) and geographic region. See “Comparable Hotel Operating Statistics” for a complete description of our comparable hotels and further detail on these classifications.

Comparable Hotel Sales by Customer Mix. The majority of our customers fall into two broad groups: transient and group travelers.

During the first quarter of 2005, total transient room revenue for our comparable Marriott and Ritz-Carlton hotels increased 6.6% compared to last year. This increase was primarily driven by increases in rates at our higher-rated premium and corporate segments of 14.9% and 10.8% respectively, and an overall transient rate increase of 8.6% for the quarter compared to last year.

For 2005, total group room revenue for our comparable Marriott and Ritz-Carlton hotels was up 5.1% compared to last year, primarily due to an increase in average room rates of approximately 4.3%. While we experienced increases in room rates in all of our group segments, the overall increase is primarily the result of an

14

Table of Contents

increase in association business, the highest rated segment. Association business accounted for 40.6% of all group business in the quarter, up from 38.7% in the previous year.

Comparable Hotel Sales by Property Type. For the first quarter of 2005, revenues increased significantly across all of our hotel property types. Our resort/convention hotels had the strongest quarter, with comparable hotel RevPAR growth of 9.3%, as occupancy improved by 1.3 points and average room rate improved by 7.5%. This strong performance was driven, in part, by average comparable RevPAR growth of more than 18% at our three Ritz-Carlton resorts in Florida. Our urban and suburban hotels experienced comparable hotel RevPAR increases of 7.4% and 6.6% respectively, which reflected average room rate increases of more than 6% for both property types. For the quarter, our airport hotels had both comparable RevPAR and rate growth of 5.8%.

Comparable Hotel Sales by Geographic Region. During the first quarter, comparable hotel RevPAR increased in all of our geographic regions. Our DC Metro region was the top performing region during the first quarter of 2005, as comparable hotel RevPAR increased 14.3%, as the region benefited from the presidential inauguration in January. The improvement in comparable hotel RevPAR was driven by an 11.5% increase in average room rates.

Comparable hotel RevPAR in our Florida region grew by 11.6% in the first quarter as a result of increased demand at many of the resort properties in the region, particularly our two Miami properties where comparable RevPAR increased over 25%. We expect growth in Florida to moderate during the remainder of 2005 due to difficult comparisons to the prior year.

Comparable hotel RevPAR for our Mid-Atlantic region increased 11.1% for the first quarter of 2005. The region was led by RevPAR increases of 18.3% and 18.5% at the New York Marriott Marquis and The Drake. Strong international demand, which has been facilitated by the decline in the value of the U.S. dollar, has also strengthened the performance in this market.

Our Pacific region had a comparable hotel RevPAR increase of 6.0% for the quarter. Our two large convention hotels in this region, located in San Francisco and San Diego underperformed as a result of a slow convention calendar in the quarter. The suburban hotels, however, had a strong quarter, led by the Hyatt Regency, Burlingame, where comparable RevPAR increased 44.3%. Additional, the Hyatt Regency Maui Resort and Spa, which was acquired in 2003 and, therefore, was included in the comparable hotel set for the first time this quarter, had a comparable hotel RevPAR increase of 19.5% for the quarter.

Our Atlanta region comparable hotel RevPAR grew by 0.9% for the quarter. Despite the improvement, comparable hotel RevPAR was slowed due to weak convention demand in the region. Additionally, we expect to begin repositioning projects at the Atlanta Marriott Marquis in the near term, which will result in a significant disruption in business at this hotel for the remainder of the year.

Comparable hotel RevPAR for our New England region increased 5.0% during the first quarter of 2005. The improvement in this region was driven by an increase in comparable hotel RevPAR at our Boston properties of 7.8%, however, this was offset by declines in comparable hotel RevPAR of over 11% at two of the suburban properties in the region.

Our Mountain region experienced a comparable hotel RevPAR increase of 12.7% for the quarter. The Denver market, which had lagged the portfolio as a whole during the past three years, experienced significant RevPAR gains of 7.5% for the quarter.

Comparable hotel RevPAR for our international properties increased 6.0% for the first quarter. Our four Canadian properties, three of which are in Toronto, experienced increases in comparable hotel RevPAR of 5.5% for the first quarter.

The South Central and North Central regions of our portfolio experienced modest increases in comparable hotel RevPAR of 1.4% and less than .1%, respectively, as increases in average room rates in the regions were

15

Table of Contents

largely offset by declines in occupancy. Our San Antonio and Dallas properties, however, experienced comparable hotel RevPAR gains of 6.3% and 5.1%, respectively, for the quarter.

Property-level Operating Costs. Operating costs and expenses increased $25 million, or 3.7%, compared to the first quarter of 2004. The increase in operating costs and expenses is due to additional costs associated with an increase in wage, benefit, utility and sales and marketing costs, all of which we believe will continue to increase at a rate greater than inflation. Additionally, management fees increased by 9.7% for the quarter due to the increase in the operating performance of our properties. The operating costs and expenses exclude the costs for hotels we have sold, which are included in discontinued operations.

Corporate and Other Expenses. Corporate and other expenses primarily consist of employee salaries and bonuses and other costs such as employee stock-based compensation expense, corporate insurance, audit fees, building rent and system costs. Corporate expenses increased by $1 million for the quarter due primarily to an increase in our restricted stock expense. Stock compensation expense increased due to the increase in the value of the awards as a result of our improved stock price when compared to the first quarter of 2004.

Interest Income. Interest income increased $4 million for the quarter primarily due to interest income recognized on a note receivable from the 1994 sale of a portfolio of Fairfield Inns by Marriott, discussed below, as well as increased cash and restricted cash balances and increases in the interest rate earned on those balances.

Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased $9 million for the quarter as a result of debt repayments and refinancings during 2004. Interest expense also includes $12 million for both the first quarters of 2005 and 2004 for the call premiums and the acceleration of deferred financing costs and original issue discounts associated with debt prepayments.

Net Gains on Property Transactions. Net gains on property transactions are due primarily to the recognition of deferred gains. In 1994, we sold a portfolio of Fairfield Inns by Marriott and received a note receivable in partial payment. During 2004, the owner filed for bankruptcy and, during 2004 and 2005, the remaining properties in the portfolio were sold. We recognized a previously deferred gain of approximately $2 million based on the amount of the proceeds we received during the first quarter of 2005.

Gain on Foreign Currency and Derivative Contracts. During the quarter, we paid $8 million to assign 50% of our remaining foreign currency contracts to a third party. The gain on foreign currency and derivative contracts is primarily due to the $2 million change in fair value from the foreign currency exchange contracts for two of our Canadian hotels.

Discontinued Operations. Discontinued operations consist of four hotels sold in 2005 and nine hotels sold in 2004 and represents the results of operations and the gain or loss on their disposition. For first quarter 2005 and 2004, revenues for these properties were $1 million and $39 million, respectively, and our income (loss) before taxes was $(1) million and $3 million, respectively. We recognized a gain, net of tax, of $13 million and $1 million on the disposal of these hotels during 2005 and 2004, respectively.

Comparable Hotel Operating Statistics

We present certain operating statistics (i.e., RevPAR, average daily rate and average occupancy) and operating results (revenues, expenses and adjusted operating profit) for the periods included in this report on a comparable hotel basis. We define our comparable hotels as full-service properties (i) that are owned or leased by us and the operations of which are included in our consolidated results, whether as continuing operations or discontinued operations, for the entirety of the reporting periods being compared, and (ii) that have not sustained substantial property damage or undergone large-scale capital projects during the reporting periods being compared. Of the 107 full-service hotels that we owned on March 25, 2005, 101 have been classified as comparable hotels. The operating results of the following six hotels that we owned as of March 25, 2005 are excluded from comparable hotel results for these periods:

Table of Contents

In addition, the operating results of the thirteen hotels we disposed of in 2005 and 2004 are also not included in comparable hotel results for the periods presented herein. Moreover, because these statistics and operating results are for our full-service hotel properties, they exclude results for our non-hotel properties and leased limited-service hotels.

We evaluate the operating performance of our comparable hotels based on both geographic region and property type. These divisions are generally consistent with industry data provided by hospitality research firms such as Smith Travel Research. For further discussion of our geographic regions and property types see our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K. The following table sets forth performance information for our comparable full-service hotels by geographic region for the first quarter of 2005 and 2004.

The following statistics are for all of our full-service properties as of March 25, 2005 and March 26, 2004, respectively. The operating statistics include the results of operations for four hotels sold in 2005 and nine hotels sold in 2004 prior to their disposition.

All Full-Service Properties

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Requirements

HMC uses cash primarily for acquisitions, capital expenditures, debt payment and dividends to stockholders. As a REIT, HMC is required to distribute to its stockholders at least 90% of its taxable income. Funds used by HMC to make these distributions are provided from Host LP. We depend primarily on external sources of capital to finance future growth.

Cash Balances. As of March 25, 2005, we had $589 million of cash and cash equivalents, which was an increase of $242 million from December 31, 2004. The increase is primarily attributable to the net proceeds from the sale of four hotels in January 2005 and the remaining proceeds from the issuance of our Series N senior notes. In the second quarter, we have used, or have announced our intention to use, $277 million of cash and cash equivalents to discharge the remaining Series E senior notes, to prepay the Ritz-Carlton mortgage debt, to pay call premiums for our Series B senior notes and to redeem our Class B preferred stock. See “Recent Events” for further discussion. Our cash balances have been in excess of the $100 million to $150 million which we have historically maintained. We have no amounts outstanding under our credit facility, and with the flexibility and capacity provided by our credit facility and the continuing growth of the economy, we expect to lower our cash balances to previous levels over the next several quarters.

As of March 25, 2005, we also had $319 million of cash which was restricted as a result of lender requirements (including reserves for debt service, real estate taxes, insurance, as well as cash collateral and excess cash flow deposits). Restricted cash increased for the quarter principally as a result of $169 million of the proceeds from the Series N senior notes offering, which were used to redeem a portion of our Series B senior notes on April 11, 2005. See “Recent Events” for further discussion. Additionally, the restricted cash balance includes $52 million and $37 million as of March 25, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively, which are held in escrow in accordance with restrictive debt covenant requirements (see “Mortgage Debt” below). The restricted cash balances do not have a significant effect on our liquidity.

Debt Repayments and Refinancings. As discussed, proceeds from the issuance of the Series N senior notes have been used to repay or redeem debt in 2005. The decline in interest expense of $9 million, or 7.6%, is primarily the result of repayments and refinancings completed during 2004. In addition, we will benefit in future periods from the refinancing of the mortgage debt and senior notes with the lower interest rate of the Series N senior notes, as discussed above. We have no significant debt maturities prior to 2007, though scheduled principal repayments will total approximately $52 million for 2005. We believe we have sufficient cash to deal with our near-term debt maturities, as well as any decline in the cash flow from our business.

Reducing future interest payments and leverage remains a key management priority. In November 2003, HMC’s Board of Directors authorized us to purchase or retire up to $600 million of our senior notes ($317 million of which remains available under this authorization) with proceeds from additional asset sales. Senior notes that have been redeemed in connection with a refinancing transaction have not affected the availability under this authorization. We may continue to redeem or refinance additional senior notes, our Convertible Preferred Debentures and mortgage debt from time to time to take advantage of favorable market conditions. We may purchase senior notes and Convertible Preferred Debentures debt for cash through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, a tender offer or, in some cases, through the early redemption of such securities pursuant to

their terms. Repurchases of debt, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors. Any refinancing or retirement before the maturity date would affect earnings and FFO per diluted share, as defined herein, as a result of the payment of any applicable call premiums and the acceleration of previously deferred financing costs. For the first quarter of 2005, we incurred interest expense resulting from the payment of call premiums of $11 million and the acceleration of deferred financing costs totaling $1 million.

Capital Expenditures. During the first quarter of 2005, our renewal and replacement capital expenditures were approximately $48 million. We expect total renewal and replacement capital expenditures for 2005 to be approximately $250 million to $270 million. Our renewal and replacement capital expenditures are generally funded by the furniture, fixture and equipment funds established at certain of our hotels (typically funded with approximately 5% of property revenues) and by our available cash.

In the first quarter of 2005, we spent approximately $14 million in repositioning/return on investment (ROI) projects. For 2005, we also expect to spend approximately $110 million to $130 million on these projects, which have historically generated strong returns. The 2005 expenditures include costs from the extensive renovation and repositioning of the Newport Beach Marriott Hotel and the development of an exhibit hall for the Marriott Orlando World Center hotel. Over the next several years we expect to spend an additional $200 million to $400 million on such investments. For further discussion of these projects and capital expenditures, see our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Acquisitions. We remain interested in pursuing single asset and portfolio acquisitions and believe that there will be opportunities over the next several years to acquire assets that are consistent with our target profile of upper-upscale and luxury properties in urban and resort/convention locations where further large scale development is limited. Any acquisitions may be funded, in part, from our available cash, draws under our credit facility or other debt financing, proceeds from asset sales or through equity offerings by HMC or the issuance of OP units by Host LP. We cannot be certain as to the size or timing of acquisition opportunities or of our ability to obtain additional acquisition financing, if needed.

Sources and Uses of Cash

Our principal sources of cash are cash from operations, the sale of assets, borrowing under our credit facility and our ability to obtain additional financing through various capital markets. Our principal uses of cash are debt service, asset acquisitions, capital expenditures, operating costs, corporate expenses and distributions to equity holders.

Cash Provided by Operations. Our cash provided by operations increased $10 million to $48 million for the first quarter 2005 from $38 million for the first quarter 2004, due primarily to the increase in operating profit in 2005.

Cash Provided by Investing Activities. For the first quarter of 2005, we received net proceeds of $100 million from the sale of four non-core properties. Capital expenditures at our properties totaled $62 million for first quarter 2005, an increase of $12 million, when compared to the same period in 2004. See “Cash Requirements—Capital Expenditures” above. Additionally, we paid $13 million to an outside partner to purchase the remaining outstanding minority interest in a consolidated partnership that owns two hotels. In addition to the four properties sold in January 2005, we believe that dispositions for the remainder of 2005 will be approximately $150 million to $250 million. The net proceeds from these dispositions will be used to repay debt, fund acquisitions or repositioning/ROI projects or for general corporate purposes; however, we currently have not entered into contracts to sell any of our hotels.

The following table summarizes significant investing activities that have been completed since the beginning of fiscal year 2005 (in millions):

Cash Provided by (Used in) Financing Activities. Approximately $172 million of cash was provided by financing activities for the first quarter of 2005 through the issuance of the 6³/₈% Series N senior notes for net proceeds of approximately $640 million, partially offset by the $280 million in Series E senior notes prepayments and the inclusion of $169 million of the proceeds in restricted cash at March 25, 2005. See “Recent Events” for further information.

The following table summarizes our significant financing activities (net of deferred financings costs) since the beginning of 2005 (in millions):

Debt

As of March 25, 2005, our total debt was $5.9 billion. The weighted average interest rate of our debt is approximately 7.1% and the current average maturity is 7.1 years. Additionally, approximately 86% of our debt has a fixed rate of interest. Over time, we expect to increase the proportion of our floating rate debt in our capital structure to 20% to 25% of our total debt.

Series N Senior Notes. On March 10, 2005, Host LP, for whom HMC acts as sole general partner, issued $650 million aggregate principal amount of senior notes bearing interest at a rate of 6³/₈% per year due in 2015. The notes pay interest semi-annually in arrears. The notes were offered in a private placement to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Under the terms of our senior notes indenture, the Series N senior notes are equal in right of payment with all of the operating partnership’s unsubordinated indebtedness and senior to all subordinated obligations of the operating partnership. The Series N senior notes are guaranteed by certain of our existing subsidiaries and are currently secured by pledges of equity interests in many of our subsidiaries. The guarantees and pledges ratably benefit the notes outstanding under our senior notes indenture, as well as our credit facility, certain other senior debt, and interest rate swap agreements and other hedging agreements with lenders that are parties to the credit facility. As with our other senior notes, our ability to incur indebtedness and pay dividends is subject to restrictions and the satisfaction of various conditions.

At any time prior to March 15, 2010, the Series N senior notes will be redeemable at our option, in whole but not in part, for 100% of their principal amount, plus a make-whole premium as set forth in the senior notes indenture, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the applicable redemption date. Beginning March 15, 2010 we may redeem, in whole or in part, the Series N senior notes at any time subject to the payment of a redemption price together with any accrued and unpaid interest to the applicable redemption date. The redemption price includes a call premium that varies (from 3.188% to 0%) depending on the year of redemption. In addition, prior to March 15, 2008 we may redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the Series N senior notes at a redemption price equal to 106.375% of the principal amount thereof, together with any accrued and unpaid interest to the applicable redemption date, with the net cash proceeds of sales of equity securities by Host LP or HMC.

The holders of Series N senior notes will also have the right to require us to repurchase their notes upon the occurrence of a change in control triggering event, as defined in the senior notes indenture, at an offer price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the senior notes plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of purchase. The senior notes indenture also imposes restrictions on customary matters, such as limitations on the capital expenditures, acquisitions, investments, and transactions with affiliates and the incurrence of liens.

Mortgage Debt. Substantially all of our mortgage debt is recourse solely to specific assets except in instances of fraud, misapplication of funds and other customary recourse provisions. As of March 25, 2005, we have 27 assets that are secured by mortgage debt. We have certain restrictive covenants on one loan, which we refer to as the CMBS loan, that is secured by mortgages on eight properties. These restrictive covenants require the mortgage

servicer to retain and hold in escrow the cash flow after debt service when it declines below specified operating levels. The remaining mortgage loans generally do not have restrictive covenants that require such escrows. Our restricted cash includes $52 million as of March 25, 2005 that will remain in escrow until operating cash flow from these properties meets the covenant requirements or until the CMBS loan is repaid. Based on our current estimates of operating levels, we believe that the covenant requirements will be achieved in 2005. For additional information on these mortgages and their restrictive covenants, see our most current Annual Report on Form 10-K.

As of March 25, 2005 and December 31, 2004, our debt was comprised of:

HMC Dividend Policy

HMC is required to distribute to stockholders at least 90% of its taxable income in order to qualify as a REIT, including taxable income recognized for tax purposes but with regard to which we do not receive corresponding cash. Funds used by HMC to pay dividends on its common and preferred stock are provided through distributions from Host LP. For every share of common and preferred stock of HMC, Host LP has issued to HMC a corresponding common OP unit and preferred OP unit. As of April 30, 2005, HMC is the owner of substantially all of the preferred OP units and approximately 94% of the common OP units. The remaining 6% of the common OP units are held by various third-party limited partners.

As a result of the minority position in Host LP common OP units, these holders share, on a pro rata basis, in amounts being distributed by Host LP. As a general rule, when HMC pays a common or preferred dividend, Host LP pays an equivalent per unit distribution on all common or corresponding preferred OP units. For example, if HMC paid a five cent per share dividend on its common stock, it would be based on payment of a five cent per unit distribution by Host LP to HMC as well as other common OP unit holders. For these reasons, investors should also take into account the 6% minority position in Host LP, and the requirement that they share pro rata in distributions from Host LP, when analyzing dividend payments by HMC to its stockholders.

HMC’s current policy on common dividends is generally to distribute at least 100% of its taxable income, unless otherwise contractually restricted. HMC currently intends to continue paying dividends on its preferred stock, regardless of the amount of taxable income, unless similarly contractually restricted. While we are not

Table of Contents

currently restricted in our ability to pay dividends, during the second half of 2002 and through the first quarter of 2004 we were limited in our ability to pay dividends, except to the extent necessary to maintain HMC’s REIT status.

On March 21, 2005, our Board of Directors declared a $0.08 dividend per share for our common stock. The dividend was paid on April 15, 2005 to stockholders of record as of March 31, 2005. The amount of any future common dividend will be determined by our Board of Directors.

On March 21, 2005, our Board of Directors also declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.625 per share for our publicly-issued Class B and C preferred stock and a cash dividend of $0.5546875 for our publicly-issued Class E preferred stock. The first quarter dividends were paid on April 15, 2005 to stockholders of record as of March 31, 2005.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We use certain “non-GAAP financial measures,” which are measures of our historical financial performance that are not calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, within the meaning of applicable SEC rules. They are as follows: (i) Funds From Operations (FFO) per diluted share, and (ii) Comparable Hotel Operating Results. A complete discussion of these measures (including the reasons why we believe they are useful to investors, the additional purposes for which management uses these measures and their limitations) is included in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K.

FFO per Diluted Share

We present FFO per diluted share as a non-GAAP measure of our performance in addition to our earnings per share (calculated in accordance with GAAP). We calculate FFO per diluted share for a given operating period as our FFO (defined as set forth below) for such period divided by the number of fully diluted shares outstanding during such period. The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT) defines FFO as net income (calculated in accordance with GAAP) excluding gains (or losses) from sales of real estate, the cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles, real estate-related depreciation and amortization and adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. FFO is presented on a per share basis after making adjustments for the effects of dilutive securities, including the payment of preferred stock dividends, in accordance with NAREIT guidelines. We believe that FFO per diluted share is a useful supplemental measure of our operating performance and that presentation of FFO per diluted share, when combined with the primary GAAP presentation of earnings per share, provides beneficial information to investors.

Comparable Hotel Operating Results

We present certain operating results for our full-service hotels, such as hotel revenues, expenses and adjusted operating profit, on a comparable hotel, or “same store” basis as supplemental information for investors. See “Comparable Hotel Operating Statistics” above for a description of what we consider our comparable hotels. We present these hotel operating results on a comparable hotel basis because we believe that doing so provides investors and management with useful information for evaluating the period-to-period performance of our hotels and facilitates comparisons with other hotel REITs and hotel owners.
