IRVING, Texas, February 26, 2015 - FelCor Lodging Trust Incorporated (NYSE: FCH) reported operating results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2014.
Fourth Quarter Highlights
• | Same-store RevPAR increased 11.2%; comparable core RevPAR increased 9.3%. |
• | Adjusted FFO per share improved to $0.15, a 200% increase from the same quarter in 2013. |
• | Adjusted EBITDA increased $6.2 million to $49.4 million; same-store Adjusted EBITDA increased $9.3 million, or 23.8%, to $48.4 million. |
• | Net income per share increased $0.24 from the same quarter in 2013. |
• | Quarterly common dividend was doubled to $0.04 per share. |
• | Two non-strategic hotels were sold for gross proceeds of $46.4 million in the quarter and two additional non-strategic hotels were sold in February for total gross proceeds of $63.6 million; four other non-strategic hotels are currently under contract or in negotiations to be sold (one with a non-refundable deposit). |
“I am very pleased with our performance in the fourth quarter. Same-store Adjusted EBITDA and RevPAR increased significantly and exceeded our expectations. This performance reflects our progress toward building a superior portfolio and enhancing returns on our investments, which continues to drive our ability to outperform the industry,” said Richard A. Smith, President and Chief Executive Officer of FelCor.
Mr. Smith added, “We have only six remaining non-strategic hotels, which we will sell shortly, thus completing our portfolio repositioning plan. We expect our high-quality and well-positioned portfolio to continue outperforming the industry. That outperformance, combined with the ongoing ramp-up of the Wyndham portfolio, the opening and ramp-up of the Knickerbocker and the significant reduction in interest expense, will drive incremental shareholder value well into the future. In addition, we are positioned to pursue future opportunities that build upon our substantial accomplishments.”

RevPAR for our 31 comparable core hotels (our 39 core hotels excluding the eight Wyndham hotels that were converted from Holiday Inn on March 1, 2013) increased 9.3% compared to the same period in 2013.
RevPAR for our 37 comparable hotels (31 comparable core hotels plus six non-strategic hotels) was $124.98, a 9.0% increase compared to the same period in 2013. The change reflects a 5.2% increase in ADR to $170.73 and a 3.6% increase in occupancy to 73.2%. Hotel EBITDA for our 37 comparable hotels was $43.1 million, a 19.2% increase, and Hotel EBITDA margin was 25.7% during the quarter, a 232 basis point increase.
RevPAR for the eight Wyndham hotels increased 23.8%, compared to the same period in 2013. We expect our Wyndham hotels’ revenues and EBITDA will continue to grow meaningfully during 2015, as transitional disruption subsides. Wyndham Worldwide Corporation has guaranteed minimum annual NOI for these hotels over the ten-year term of the management agreements. We recorded $3 million of the guaranty for the three months ended December 31, 2013, compared to $748,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2014 (which affected margin comparisons for the eight hotels). For the year ended December 31, 2014, Wyndham paid $1.3 million under the guaranty compared to $8 million for 2013, as the hotels’ operating performance improved significantly.
RevPAR for our 45 same-store hotels (37 comparable hotels plus our Wyndham hotels) was $122.04, an 11.2% increase compared to the same period in 2013. The change reflects a 5.6% increase in ADR to $169.07 and a 5.3% increase in occupancy to 72.2%.

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Same-store Adjusted EBITDA, Hotel EBITDA, Hotel EBITDA margin, FFO, Adjusted FFO and Adjusted FFO per share are all non-GAAP financial measures. See our discussion of “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” beginning on page 18 for a reconciliation of each of these measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measure and for information regarding the use, limitations and importance of these non-GAAP financial measures.
Portfolio Repositioning
Since December 2010, we have sold 34 non-strategic hotels for total gross proceeds of $698 million (includes our pro rata share) as part of our portfolio repositioning program. We expect to complete this program in the next few months.
During 2014, we moved closer to completing the program by selling eight hotels, including two in the fourth quarter (the 395-room Sheraton-Atlanta Airport and the 208-room DoubleTree Suites-Charlotte SouthPark), for total gross proceeds of $169.0 million.
Earlier this month, we sold two hotels (the 225-room Embassy Suites-Raleigh and the 536-room Westin-Dallas Park Central) for total gross proceeds of $63.6 million.
We have six non-strategic hotels remaining to be sold, of which we have agreed to sell three (the 261-room Embassy Suites-San Antonio Airport, the 216-room Embassy Suites-San Antonio Northwest, and the 288-room Holiday Inn-Orlando Airport) for total gross proceeds of $62 million (we hold a non-refundable deposit for one of these hotels). We are negotiating a contract to sell one more hotel. We began marketing the final two hotels last month.
Capital Expenditures
During the quarter, we invested $18.6 million in capital improvements at our hotels (excluding the Knickerbocker). During 2015, we plan to invest approximately $45 million in capital improvements and renovations, concentrated at five hotels, as part of our long-term capital plan. Please see page 13 of this release for more detail on renovations.
Knickerbocker
The Knickerbocker Hotel (www.TheKnickerbocker.com), located in the heart of Times Square on the corner of 42nd Street and Broadway in New York City, opened on February 12, 2015.
The newly redeveloped hotel boasts 330 spacious guest rooms, including 31 suites, a state-of-the-art fitness center, a 2,200 square-foot event space, upscale food and dining options, and a spectacular 7,500 square-foot rooftop bar and terrace with unrivaled views of New York City’s skyline. The 4+ star luxury property is a member of The Leading Hotels of the World.
As of December 31, 2014, we have invested $138.0 million (excluding initial acquisition costs and capitalized interest) to redevelop the property.
We expect the Knickerbocker will generate approximately $10 million of EBITDA during 2015.

Balance Sheet
At December 31, 2014, we had $1.6 billion of consolidated debt bearing a 5.4% weighted-average interest rate and a seven-year weighted-average maturity. We had $47.1 million of cash and cash equivalents and $20.5 million of restricted cash, of which $6.3 million secured our Knickerbocker construction loan.
We will use proceeds from selling the remaining non-strategic hotels at December 31, 2014 (six current, plus two sold this month) to repay $69 million of non-cross-collateralized debt encumbering five of these hotels, with the remaining proceeds applied to our $140 million term loan and borrowings under our line of credit.
Common Dividend
During the fourth quarter, we doubled our quarterly dividend to $0.04 per share. Future quarterly common stock dividends will be determined by our Board of Directors based on funds available for distribution, reinvestment opportunities within our portfolio and taxable income, among other things.
Outlook
Our 2015 outlook reflects continuing strong lodging industry fundamentals. We expect continued robust demand growth reflecting strength in both the leisure and corporate segments. We expect occupancy will increase, as demand growth broadly outpaces new supply. Average occupancy for the U.S. is expected to reach a new record in early 2015, allowing for strong ADR growth. Our projected RevPAR growth exceeds projected overall industry RevPAR growth because of our high-quality and diverse portfolio, overweighted to higher growth markets with favorable fundamentals.
Our outlook assumes we sell eight remaining non-strategic hotels during 2015 (including two already sold in February). The low end of our guidance assumes that all of the remaining six non-strategic hotels are sold in the first quarter. The high end of our guidance assumes that one of the remaining six is sold in the first quarter, three are sold in the second quarter and two are sold in the third quarter. Our outlook assumes EBITDA for the Wyndham hotels equals the amount guaranteed by Wyndham.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We refer in this release to certain “non-GAAP financial measures.” These measures, including FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Same-store Adjusted EBITDA, Hotel EBITDA and Hotel EBITDA margin, are measures of our financial performance that are not calculated and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The following tables reconcile each of these non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measure. Immediately following the reconciliations, we include a discussion of why we believe these measures are useful supplemental measures of our performance and the limitations of such measures.

We sold two held for sale hotels for $63.6 million subsequent to December 31, 2014. These hotels are considered held for sale on our December 31, 2014 balance sheet, as the purchasers each paid a non-refundable deposit toward the purchase price. Under recently issued GAAP accounting guidance, we included the operating performance for these hotels in continuing operations in our Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three months and years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013. However, for purposes of our Non-GAAP reporting metrics, we have excluded the results of these hotels to provide a meaningful same-store comparison. |
(b) | Consolidated hotel lease expense represents the percentage lease expense of our 51% owned operating lessees. The offsetting percentage lease revenue is included in equity in income from unconsolidated entities. |

Substantially all of our non-current assets consist of real estate. 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 supplemental measures of performance, which are not measures of operating performance under GAAP, to be helpful in evaluating a real estate company’s operations. These supplemental measures are not measures of operating performance under GAAP. However, we consider these non-GAAP measures to be supplemental measures of a hotel REIT’s performance and should be considered along with, but not as an alternative to, net income (loss) attributable to FelCor as a measure of our operating performance.
FFO and EBITDA
The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) defines FFO as net income or loss attributable to parent (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains or losses from sales of property, plus depreciation, amortization and impairment losses. FFO for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures are calculated on the same basis. We compute FFO in accordance with standards established by NAREIT. This 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 we do.
EBITDA is a commonly used measure of performance in many industries. We define EBITDA as net income or loss attributable to parent (computed in accordance with GAAP) plus interest expenses, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures are calculated to reflect EBITDA on the same basis.

We adjust FFO and EBITDA when evaluating our performance because management believes that the exclusion of certain additional items provides useful supplemental information to investors regarding our ongoing operating performance and that the presentation of Adjusted FFO, and Adjusted EBITDA when combined with GAAP net income attributable to FelCor, EBITDA and FFO, is beneficial to an investor’s better understanding of our operating performance.
• | Gains and losses related to extinguishment of debt and interest rate swaps - We exclude gains and losses related to extinguishment of debt and interest rate swaps from FFO and EBITDA because we believe that it is not indicative of ongoing operating performance of our hotel assets. This also represents an acceleration of interest expense or a reduction of interest expense, and interest expense is excluded from EBITDA. |

• | Cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle - Infrequently, the Financial Accounting Standards Board promulgates new accounting standards that require the consolidated statements of operations to reflect the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle. We exclude these one-time adjustments in computing Adjusted FFO and Adjusted EBITDA because they do not reflect our actual performance for that period. |
• | Other transaction costs - From time to time, we periodically incur costs that are not indicative of ongoing operating performance. Such costs include, but are not limited to, conversion costs, acquisition costs, pre-opening costs and severance costs. We exclude these costs from the calculation of Adjusted FFO and Adjusted EBITDA. |
• | Variable stock compensation - We exclude the cost associated with our variable stock compensation. This cost is subject to volatility related to the price and dividends of our common stock that does not necessarily correspond to our operating performance. |
In addition, to derive Adjusted EBITDA, we exclude gains or losses on the sale of depreciable assets and impairment losses because including them in EBITDA is inconsistent with reporting the ongoing performance of our remaining assets. Additionally, the gain or loss on sale of depreciable assets and impairment losses represents either accelerated depreciation or excess depreciation in previous periods, and depreciation is excluded from EBITDA. We also exclude the amortization of our fixed stock and directors’ compensation, which is included in corporate expenses and is not separately stated on our statements of operations. Excluding amortization of our fixed stock and directors’ compensation maintains consistency with the EBITDA definition.
Hotel EBITDA and Hotel EBITDA Margin
Hotel EBITDA and Hotel EBITDA margin are commonly used measures of performance in the hotel industry and give investors a more complete understanding of the operating results over which our individual hotels and brand/managers have direct control. We believe that Hotel EBITDA and Hotel EBITDA margin are useful to investors by providing greater transparency with respect to two significant measures that we use in our financial and operational decision-making. Additionally, using these measures facilitates comparisons with other hotel REITs and hotel owners. We present Hotel EBITDA and Hotel EBITDA margin in a manner consistent with Adjusted EBITDA, however, we also eliminate all revenues and expenses from continuing operations not directly associated with hotel operations, including other income and corporate-level expenses. We eliminate these additional items because we believe property-level results provide investors with supplemental information into the ongoing operational performance of our hotels and the effectiveness of management on a property-level basis. We also eliminate consolidated percentage rent paid to unconsolidated entities, which is effectively eliminated by noncontrolling interests and equity in income from unconsolidated subsidiaries, and include the cost of unconsolidated taxes, insurance and lease expense, to reflect the entire operating costs applicable to our Consolidated Hotels. Hotel EBITDA and Hotel EBITDA margins are presented on a same-store basis.

Use and Limitations of Non-GAAP Measures
We use FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Same-store Adjusted EBITDA, Hotel EBITDA and Hotel EBITDA margin to evaluate the performance of our hotels and to facilitate comparisons between us and other lodging REITs, hotel owners who are not REITs and other capital intensive companies. We use Hotel EBITDA and Hotel EBITDA margin in evaluating hotel-level performance and the operating efficiency of our hotel managers.
The use of these non-GAAP financial measures has certain limitations. As we present them, these non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similar non-GAAP financial measures as presented by other real estate companies. These measures do not reflect certain expenses or expenditures that we incurred and will incur, such as depreciation, interest and capital expenditures. We compensate for these limitations by separately considering the impact of these excluded items to the extent they are material to operating decisions or assessments of our operating performance. Our reconciliations to the most comparable GAAP financial measures, and our consolidated statements of operations and cash flows, include interest expense, capital expenditures, and other excluded items, all of which should be considered when evaluating our performance, as well as the usefulness of our non-GAAP financial measures.
These non-GAAP financial measures are used in addition to and in conjunction with results presented in accordance with GAAP. They should not be considered as alternatives to operating profit, cash flow from operations, or any other operating performance measure prescribed by GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures reflect additional ways of viewing our operations that we believe, when viewed with our GAAP results and the reconciliations to the corresponding GAAP financial measures, provide a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business than could be obtained absent this disclosure. We strongly encourage investors to review our financial information in its entirety and not to rely on a single financial measure.
