CHESAPEAKE LODGING TRUST REPORTS
PRELIMINARY FOURTH QUARTER RESULTS
ANNAPOLIS, MD, January 31, 2013 – Chesapeake Lodging Trust (NYSE:CHSP), a lodging real estate investment trust (REIT), reported today its preliminary financial results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2012. The following preliminary results are subject to adjustments that may result from the completion of the Trust’s annual audit process (unaudited):
| Three months ended December 31, 2012 Preliminary |
||||||
| Year ended December 31, 2012 | ||||||
| Preliminary | Previous Guidance(1) | |||||
| Pro forma RevPAR increase over 2011(2) |
5.5% | 8.8% | 8.75%—9.25% | |||
| Net income available to common shareholders, excluding amounts attributable to unvested time-based awards(3) |
$7.4 | $22.6 | $19.8—$20.6 | |||
| Adjusted Hotel EBITDA(3) |
$26.7 | $92.2 | $91.0—$92.0 | |||
| AFFO per diluted share |
$0.41 | $1.61 | $1.57—$1.60 | |||
| (1) | Reflects guidance announced on November 1, 2012. |
| (2) | Management assesses the operating performance of its hotels irrespective of the hotel owner during the periods compared, or on a pro forma basis. This metric includes the hotel operating results of 10 of the Trust’s 15 hotels owned as of December 31, 2012 and does not include operating results for the Holiday Inn New York City Midtown – 31st Street, as the hotel opened for business on January 19, 2012, the Hotel Adagio, as the hotel was under renovation during the period, and the W Chicago – Lakeshore, the Hyatt Regency Mission Bay Spa and Marina, and The Hotel Minneapolis, as these hotels were acquired during 2012. |
| (3) | In millions. |
“We are pleased with the continued strong performance of our hotel portfolio in the fourth quarter 2012,” said James L. Francis, Chesapeake Lodging Trust’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “Our pro forma RevPAR increase for the fourth quarter 2012 was negatively impacted by (i) cancellations related to travel disruptions caused by Superstorm Sandy in October 2012, (ii) the early addition of 35 guestrooms at the W Chicago – City Center on October 19, 2012, which were originally scheduled to open

January 1, 2013, and (iii) the disruption from the renovation of the lobby and public spaces at the Le Meridien San Francisco. Excluding the estimated impact from these items, our pro forma RevPAR increase for the fourth quarter 2012 and for the year ended December 31, 2012 would have been between 7.75%—8.00% and between 9.4%—9.5%, respectively.”
Funds from operations (FFO), Adjusted FFO (AFFO), Hotel EBITDA, and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures within the meaning of the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures is included in the accompanying financial tables.
FFO – The Trust calculates FFO in accordance with standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT), which defines FFO as net income (calculated in accordance with GAAP), excluding depreciation and amortization, impairment charges, gains (losses) from sales of real estate, the cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles, 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 industry investors consider presentations of operating results for real estate companies that use historical cost accounting to be insufficient by themselves. By excluding the effect of depreciation and amortization and gains (losses) from sales of real estate, both of which are based on historical cost accounting and which may be of lesser significance in evaluating current performance, the Trust believes that FFO provides investors a useful financial measure to evaluate the Trust’s operating performance.
AFFO – The Trust further adjusts FFO for certain additional recurring and non-recurring items that are not in NAREIT’s definition of FFO. Specifically, the Trust adjusts for hotel acquisition costs and non-cash amortization of intangible assets and unfavorable contract liabilities. The Trust believes that AFFO provides investors with another financial measure of its operating performance that provides for greater comparability of its core operating results between periods.

Hotel EBITDA – Hotel EBITDA is defined as total revenues less total hotel operating expenses. The Trust believes that Hotel EBITDA provides investors a useful financial measure to evaluate the Trust’s hotel operating performance.
Adjusted Hotel EBITDA – The Trust further adjusts Hotel EBITDA for certain additional recurring and non-recurring items. Specifically, the Trust adjusts for non-cash amortization of intangible assets and unfavorable contract liabilities. The Trust believes that Adjusted Hotel EBITDA provides investors with another useful financial measure to evaluate the Trust’s hotel operating performance.
