Second Quarter Highlights

 

   

RevPAR: Room revenue per available room (“RevPAR”) for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 increased 3.8 percent to $180.14, as a result of a 5.8 percent increase in average daily rate (“ADR”) to $215.92, offset by a 2.0 percent decline in occupancy to 83.4 percent. RevPAR was impacted by renovations at Hotel Roger Williams and Le Montrose Suite Hotel and management transitions at the Donovan House and Hotel Sax Chicago. Excluding these properties, the Company’s portfolio RevPAR increased 5.9 percent for the second quarter.

 

   

Hotel EBITDA Margin: The Company’s hotel EBITDA margin for the second quarter was 37.0 percent, a 152 basis point improvement compared to the comparable prior year period.

 

   

Adjusted EBITDA: The Company’s adjusted EBITDA was $85.3 million, an increase of 26.4 percent over the second quarter of 2011.

 

   

Adjusted FFO: The Company generated second quarter adjusted FFO of $61.8 million, or $0.72 per diluted share/unit, compared to $45.0 million or $0.55 per diluted share/unit for the comparable prior year period, an increase of 30.9 percent in adjusted FFO per diluted share/unit.

 

   

Capital Markets: The Company completed the following capital markets initiatives during the second quarter:

 

   

The Company sold 641,069 common shares through its ATM program at an average net price of $27.03 per share for net proceeds of $17.3 million.

 

   

On May 16, 2012, the Company entered into a new $177.5 million unsecured loan with a seven-year term maturing on May 16, 2019. The term loan’s interest rate will be 3.87 percent when the Company’s leverage ratio is between 4.0 and 4.75 times.

 

   

On May 21, 2012, the Company redeemed all 7.5% Series D Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares and 8.0% Series E Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares. Total combined redemption value for the Series D and E Preferred Shares was approximately $166.8 million.

 

   

Capital Investments: The Company invested $16.7 million of capital in its hotels, including the following projects:

 

   

The completion of the 33 guestroom and public space expansion at Hotel Amarano Burbank;

 

   

The completion of the guestroom, corridor and lobby renovation of Hotel Roger Williams in Manhattan; and

   

The continuation of the guestroom renovation of Le Montrose Suite Hotel in West Hollywood, which has since been completed.

 

   

Dividends: On April 18, 2012, the Company declared a second quarter 2012 dividend of $0.20 per common share of beneficial interest.


Capital Markets Initiatives

The Company has received commitments for a $300.0 million five-year unsecured term loan, which is expected to close by early August 2012, subject to customary closing conditions. The term loan was swapped to a fixed interest rate for the full five-year term. The term loan’s interest rate will be 2.68 percent when the Company’s leverage ratio is between 4.0 and 4.75 times. Proceeds will be used to reduce amounts outstanding on the Company’s senior unsecured credit facility.

“Our second quarter results were impacted more than we expected by the guestroom renovations at Hotel Roger Williams and Le Montrose and the management transitions at the Donovan House and Hotel Sax,” said Michael D. Barnello, President and Chief Executive Officer of LaSalle Hotel Properties. “Despite that, we are encouraged by the increase in average rate of our portfolio, which grew 5.8 percent for the entire portfolio. In addition, our portfolio delivered significant hotel EBITDA margin growth and achieved our highest-ever reported quarterly hotel EBITDA margin. On the capital markets front, we closed on a very favorable seven-year term loan and have received commitments on a five-year term loan with excellent pricing, which will enable us to reduce the balance on our senior unsecured credit facility.

“The trends in our business remain strong and we continue to be optimistic about the outlook for the second half of the year.”

Acquisition of Mezzanine Loan

On July 13, 2012, the Company invested $67.4 million to acquire the performing mezzanine loan secured by the equity interests in the entities that own Shutters on the Beach and Hotel Casa Del Mar in Santa Monica, California. The Company purchased the debt instrument for 93.6 percent of the $72.0 million face value of the loan.

The fixed-rate, interest only coupon on the mezzanine loan is 9.76 percent at par value, which translates to a 10.4 percent interest rate on the Company’s investment. The mezzanine loan is subordinate to a $310.0 million first mortgage loan secured by the properties. Both the first mortgage and the mezzanine loan mature on May 11, 2014.


“We are excited to acquire the mezzanine loan related to these two iconic assets,” added Michael D. Barnello. “The Santa Monica market benefits from very favorable demand dynamics and these high-quality hotels have excellent locations within the market. Furthermore, the 10.4 percent yield on our investment is very attractive.”

Shutters on the Beach is a 198 room full-service, luxury hotel, with guestrooms located between two buildings: the 157 room Ocean House and the 41 room Beach House. Shutters features three food and beverage options, including the 230-seat casual beachfront restaurant called Coast, the upscale 85-seat One Pico and a lounge called The Living Room. Shutters also includes 9,000 square feet of flexible meeting and function space.

Hotel Casa Del Mar is a 129 room full-service, luxury hotel located on the beach in Santa Monica, California. Food and beverage options include the 75-seat Catch restaurant as well as a lobby lounge.

The ocean-front hotels are located one block from the Company’s Viceroy Santa Monica, two blocks from Santa Monica Pier and proximate to the Third Street Promenade and the Main Street shopping district. Santa Monica is a premier corporate and leisure destination. A variety of companies hold offices in Santa Monica, including Apple, Microsoft, Symantec, Blackstone, Colony Capital, HBO, Universal Music, Sony BMG Music Entertainment and MTV, among many others. The city is well known for world-class shopping throughout the Third Street Promenade, Main Street, Montana Avenue, Santa Monica Place and Ocean Park. Santa Monica also includes attractions such as the Santa Monica Pier and the Main Street district with its art galleries, cafes and antique shops.

Year-to-date Highlights

For the six months ended June 30, 2012, RevPAR increased 4.7 percent to $153.97, with ADR growth of 4.8 percent to $198.07, offset by a 0.1 percent decline in occupancy to 77.7 percent. The Company’s hotel EBITDA margin was 30.8 percent, an increase of 143 basis points compared to the comparable prior year period. The Company invested $35.2 million of capital in its hotels during the six months ended June 30, 2012.

Balance Sheet

As of June 30, 2012, the Company had total outstanding debt of $1.18 billion, including $376.0 million outstanding on its senior unsecured credit facility. Total net debt to trailing 12 month Corporate EBITDA (as defined in the Company’s senior unsecured credit facility) was 4.5 times as of June 30, 2012 and its fixed charge coverage ratio was 2.7 times. For the second quarter, the Company’s weighted average interest rate was 4.1 percent. As of June 30, 2012, the Company had $41.6 million of cash and cash equivalents on its balance sheet and capacity of $392.5 million available on its credit facilities.

Includes amounts from discontinued operations.

With respect to Hotel EBITDA, the Company believes that excluding the effect of corporate-level expenses, non-cash items, and the portion of these items related to unconsolidated entities, provides a more complete understanding of the operating results over which individual hotels and operators have direct control. We believe property-level results provide investors with supplemental information on the ongoing operational performance of our hotels and effectiveness of the third-party management companies operating our business on a property-level basis.

Hotel EBITDA includes all properties owned as of June 30, 2012 for the Company's period of ownership in 2012 and the comparable period in 2011. Exceptions: Hotel EBITDA excludes March period of ownership for Hotel Palomar, Washington, DC. Hotel EBITDA for all stated periods excludes any properties the Company has sold.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

FFO, EBITDA and Hotel EBITDA

The Company considers the non-GAAP measures of FFO (including FFO per share/unit), EBITDA and hotel EBITDA to be key supplemental measures of the Company’s performance and should be considered along with, but not as alternatives to, net income or loss as a measure of the Company’s operating performance. 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, EBITDA and hotel EBITDA to be helpful in evaluating a real estate company’s operations.

The White Paper on FFO approved by NAREIT in April 2002, as revised in 2011, defines FFO as net income or loss (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains or losses from sales of properties, impairment write-downs and items classified by GAAP as extraordinary, plus real estate-related depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred finance costs) and after comparable adjustments for the Company’s portion of these items related to unconsolidated entities and joint ventures. The Company computes FFO consistent with standards established by NAREIT, which may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs that do not define the term in accordance with the current NAREIT definition or that interpret the current NAREIT definition differently than the Company.

With respect to FFO, the Company believes that excluding the effect of extraordinary items, real estate-related depreciation and amortization, and the portion of these items related to unconsolidated entities, all of which are based on historical cost accounting and which may be of limited significance in evaluating current performance, can facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods and between REITs, even though FFO does not represent an amount that accrues directly to common shareholders. However, FFO may not be helpful when comparing the Company to non-REITs.

With respect to EBITDA, the Company believes that excluding the effect of non-operating expenses and non-cash charges, and the portion of these items related to unconsolidated entities, all of which are also based on historical cost accounting and may be of limited significance in evaluating current performance, can help eliminate the accounting effects of depreciation and amortization, and financing decisions and facilitate comparisons of core operating profitability between periods and between REITs, even though EBITDA also does not represent an amount that accrues directly to common shareholders.

With respect to hotel EBITDA, the Company believes that excluding the effect of corporate-level expenses, non-cash items, and the portion of these items related to unconsolidated entities, provides a more complete understanding of the operating results over which individual hotels and operators have direct control. We believe property-level results provide investors with supplemental information on the ongoing operational performance of our hotels and effectiveness of the third-party management companies operating our business on a property-level basis.

FFO, EBITDA and hotel EBITDA do not represent cash generated from operating activities as determined by GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to net income or loss, cash flows from operations or any other operating performance measure prescribed by GAAP. FFO, EBITDA and hotel EBITDA are not measures of the Company’s liquidity, nor are FFO, EBITDA and hotel EBITDA indicative of funds available to fund the Company’s cash needs, including its ability to make cash distributions. These measurements do not reflect cash expenditures for long-term assets and other items that have been and will be incurred. FFO, EBITDA and hotel EBITDA may include funds that may not be available for management’s discretionary use due to functional requirements to conserve funds for capital expenditures, property acquisitions, and other commitments and uncertainties. To compensate for this, management considers the impact of these excluded items to the extent they are material to operating decisions or the evaluation of the Company’s operating performance.

Adjusted FFO and Adjusted EBITDA

The Company presents adjusted FFO (including adjusted FFO per share/unit) and adjusted EBITDA, which adjusts for certain additional items including gains on sale of property and impairment losses (to the extent included in EBITDA), acquisition transaction costs, costs associated with the departure of executive officers, costs associated with the recognition of issuance costs related to the calling of preferred shares and certain other items. The Company excludes these items as it believes it allows for meaningful comparisons with other REITs and between periods and is more indicative of the ongoing performance of its assets. As with FFO, EBITDA, and hotel EBITDA, the Company’s calculation of adjusted FFO and adjusted EBITDA may be different from similar adjusted measures calculated by other REITs.
