Extended Stay America’s Chief Executive Officer, Jim Donald commented, “This quarter we continued to build on the foundation we put in place over the past 18 months. Our initiatives to drive improved cash flow and earnings have resulted in seven consecutive quarters of revenue and adjusted EBITDA growth. While the full effects of our plan have yet to be realized, the results from the renovation projects we have completed are starting to contribute meaningfully to our results. Furthermore, the benefits of our improved customer service, re-branding and renovation projects were reflected by our improved ranking, from third to second place, in Business Travel News’ 2013 Hotel Chain Survey for mid-priced extended stay business travel.”

“With the completion of our initial public offering in November, we are now the largest publicly-traded integrated hotel owner and operator in North America”, continued Mr. Donald. “As we move forward, we are focused on strengthening our position as a leading brand in the lodging industry by providing our guests with great service and strong value. With our increased financial flexibility and strong operating metrics, Extended Stay is well positioned to create value for our shareholders over the long-term.”

Financial and Operating Results

Revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2013 increased 11.5% over the comparable period in 2012 to $313.7 million and included a net benefit of $6.5 million or approximately 2.1% derived from the Company’s acquisition of 17 hotels in December 2012. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, revenue increased 13.6% over the comparable period in 2012, and included $21.0 million or approximately 2.4% net benefit derived from the acquisitions.

Revenue per available room (“RevPAR”) for the three months ended September 30, 2013 increased 8.9% over the comparable period in 2012, driven by an increase in average daily rate (“ADR”) of 9.3% and a slight decrease in occupancy to 78.7% as compared to 79.0% in the comparable period in 2012. ADR growth was driven primarily by a combination of price increases and a shift in customer mix toward higher profit generating guests.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, RevPAR increased 11.5% over the comparable period in 2012, driven by an increase in ADR of 10.2% and an increase in occupancy from 74.5% to 75.5%.

Hotel operating margin for the three months ended September 30, 2013 increased 230 basis points over the comparable period in 2012 to 54.3%. Results for the quarter include additional costs associated with the completed roll-out of grab-and-go breakfast of $2.1 million or approximately 60 basis points. Rollout of grab-and-go breakfast was completed in all Extended Stay hotels in the first quarter of 2013. Despite the costs associated with the successful roll-out of grab-and-go breakfast and certain other operating expenses associated with service enhancements, the Company was able to drive significant margin expansion. Operating margin flow-through, defined as the change in hotel operating profit divided by the change in total room and other hotel revenues, was approximately 72.3%.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, hotel operating margin increased 200 basis points over the comparable period in 2012 to 53.0%. Results on a nine months basis include additional costs associated with the completed roll-out of grab-and-go breakfast of $7.2 million or approximately 80 basis points, as well as cost increases in other hotel operating expenses. Operating margin flow-through was approximately 66.3%.

Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2013 was $46.6 million, compared to $33.3 million in the comparable period in 2012. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, net income was $98.0 million, compared to $55.3 million in the comparable period in 2012.

Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended September 30, 2013, increased $24.2 million to $150.1 million, representing a 19.3% increase over the comparable period in 2012. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, Adjusted EBITDA increased $69.1 million to $398.1 million, representing an increase of 21.0%.

Initial Public Offering

On November 18, 2013, the Company completed its initial public offering of 32,487,500 Paired Shares at a price to the public of $20.00 per Paired Share, or gross proceeds of $649.8 million, which included 4,237,500 Paired Shares issued upon the exercise in full of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional Paired Shares. Each Paired Share consists of one share of common stock of the Company and one share of Class B common stock of ESH Hospitality, Inc. which trades as a single unit.

The Company deposited net proceeds of $583.7 million in escrow for the purpose of repaying approximately $574.6 million of its mezzanine debt and approximately $9.1 million in prepayment penalties. The Company has repaid $270.0 million of mezzanine debt to date from the escrow, and intends to repay an additional $304.6 million from the escrow as well as $140.4 million from existing cash prior to the end of 2013, totaling $715.0 million of mezzanine debt pay down. After giving effect to these repayments, total mortgage and mezzanine loans payable are expected to be approximately $2.9 billion.

Peter Crage, Chief Financial Officer, stated, “With the capital raised from our recent IPO, our balance sheet has been significantly strengthened. In addition, our business model has been generating strong and improving margins and cash flow, which allows us significant flexibility as we allocate our capital. The next phase of our renovation program involving over 90 hotels began in the fourth quarter of 2013 and will be completed by the end of the first quarter of 2014. This phase will represent nearly twice the number of hotels that we have previously renovated in any prior phase of our renovation program. Given that prior phases have delivered attractive returns with additional benefits from prior capital expenditures still to be realized, we believe these capital expenditures will provide additional earnings growth as we move forward, although they may have a short term impact due to displacement. Our capital strength and flexibility can support both our internal growth and an ongoing reduction of our debt while providing improving dividend coverage in our efforts to create value for our shareholders.”

Disclosure Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, hotel operating profit and hotel operating margin, which are detailed in the reconciliation tables that accompany this release, are used by the Company as performance measures for benchmarking against the Company’s peers and as internal measures of business operating performance. The Company believes EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, hotel operating profit and hotel operating margin provide a meaningful perspective of the underlying operating performance of the Company’s current business. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, hotel operating profit and hotel operating margin are not recognized terms under GAAP. Because certain companies do not calculate EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, hotel operating profit and hotel operating margin in the same way and certain other companies may not perform such calculation, those measures as used by other companies may not be consistent with the way the Company calculates such measures and should not be considered as alternative measures of operating profit or net income. The Company’s presentation of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, hotel operating profit and hotel operating margin does not replace the presentation of the Company’s financial results in accordance with GAAP.
