FELCOR REPORTS THIRD QUARTER 2015 EARNINGS
Board authorizes $100 million common stock repurchase program
Same-store RevPAR increased to 7.0%
Same-store EBITDA increased 14.9%

IRVING, Texas, October 27, 2015 - FelCor Lodging Trust Incorporated (NYSE: FCH) today reported results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2015.
Third Quarter Highlights
Same-store RevPAR increased 7.0% over the same period in 2014. Same-store RevPAR increased 10.0% in September.
Hotel EBITDA margins increased 225 basis points over the same period in 2014.
Adjusted FFO per share increased to $0.25 from $0.21 in the prior year.
Adjusted EBITDA was $65.1 million and same-store Adjusted EBITDA increased by $8.2 million, or 14.9%, to $63.5 million compared to the same period in 2014.
Net loss per share was $0.10.
Sold two hotels for aggregate gross proceeds of $41.5 million.

“We are pleased with our progress this year. We have completed the non-strategic asset sale program and are realizing the returns from our repositioning and renovation efforts. We have created a high-quality and well-positioned portfolio that will continue to outperform the industry. We also completed several balance sheet initiatives that lowered our cost of debt, created the best debt maturity profile in the industry and will allow us to pursue opportunities that best drive stockholder value,” said Richard A. Smith, President and Chief Executive Officer of FelCor.
Mr. Smith added, “We remain optimistic about the future of the lodging industry.  Although there were pockets of volatility during the quarter, we believe they do not reflect a lasting trend.  September was particularly strong, with 10% RevPAR growth, as corporate travel bounced back solidly from a mid-quarter slow down.  We expect demand growth to continue to outpace new supply, especially in our markets.  This dynamic will allow us to continue to increase ADR across our portfolio.”

RevPAR for our 39 same-store hotels increased 7.0% (to $153.70) from the same period in 2014. The change reflects a 6.2% increase in ADR (to $190.19) and a 0.7% increase in occupancy (to 80.8%). Hotel EBITDA for our 39 same-store hotels increased by 14.9% to $66.9 million and Hotel EBITDA margin was 31.5% during the quarter, a 225 basis point increase.
RevPAR for our 39 same-store hotels increased 9.1% in July, 1.9% in August and 10.0% in September. Corporate transient and group room nights decreased in August, which led to a 2.4% decline in occupancy. Occupancy in September increased 4.6%. RevPAR in September was above our expectations, as demand trends rebounded significantly.

RevPAR for the eight Wyndham hotels (which we converted from Holiday Inn on March 1, 2013) increased 13.0% (to $142.70) from the same period in 2014. We expect revenue and EBITDA at these properties will continue to grow meaningfully this year because of their recent renovations and repositioning to the upper-upscale segment. Wyndham Worldwide Corporation has guaranteed the minimum annual NOI for these hotels through 2023. We recorded $258,000 of the guaranteed amount in the quarter.

Year-to-Date Operating Results
RevPAR for our 39 same-store hotels increased 9.0% (to $148.05) from the same period in 2014. The change reflects a 6.4% increase in ADR (to $187.60) and a 2.5% increase in occupancy (to 78.9%). Hotel EBITDA for our 39 same-store hotels increased 17.5% to $191.1 million, and Hotel EBITDA margin for these properties increased 222 basis points to 30.5%.
Same-store Adjusted EBITDA increased 19.3% to $177.8 million from the same period in 2014. Adjusted EBITDA (which includes Adjusted EBITDA from sold hotels) increased 7.7% to $184.7 million from the same period in 2014.
Adjusted FFO was $93.3 million ($0.68 per share), compared to $63.7 million ($0.51 per share) for the same period in 2014. Net loss attributable to common stockholders was $34.7 million ($0.26 per share) in 2015, compared to a net income of $52.8 million ($0.43 per share) for the same period in 2014. Net loss in 2015 included $30.9 million in debt extinguishment charges and a $20.9 million impairment charge offset by a $19.9 million net gain on the sale of consolidated hotels (including discontinued operations) and a $7.1 million gain on sale of an unconsolidated joint venture. Net income in 2014 included $51.0 million of net gain on the sale of consolidated hotels, a $30.2 million gain on the sale of our interest in unconsolidated hotels, and a $20.7 million gain on the fair value remeasurement of previously unconsolidated hotels.
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 17 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 Management
During the third quarter, we completed the final phase of our portfolio repositioning program. Since December 2010, we have sold 40 non-strategic hotels for total gross proceeds of $844 million (which reflects our pro rata share from disposing of joint venture hotels).
During the third quarter, we sold two hotels - the Holiday Inn Orlando-Airport and the Embassy Suites Chicago-Lombard (for gross proceeds of $14 million and $28 million, respectively). Proceeds from the asset sales were used to repay debt.
We continually strive to increase long-term stockholder value. As part of this on-going pursuit, we look for opportunities to recycle capital that can be redeployed to achieve superior returns. In accordance with our strategy, our Board has approved the sale of four hotels (inclusive of selling a minority interest in one hotel), which we will begin marketing shortly. We are taking advantage of favorable current market pricing and expect these hotels to be sold at high multiples to current EBITDA. Net proceeds from future asset sales will be used to repurchase stock, fund high-ROI redevelopments, repay debt and fund other growth opportunities.

Our discussions have begun with Morgans Hotel Group regarding their management of our Morgans and Royalton hotels, and we will provide updates as appropriate.

Stock Repurchase Program
Our Board has approved a stock repurchase program. Under the new stock repurchase program, we may repurchase up to $100 million of our common stock over the next two years. Under the program, we would repurchase shares from time to time in transactions on the open market, in privately-negotiated transactions or by other means, including Rule 10b5-1 trading plans, in accordance with applicable securities laws and other restrictions. There is no guaranty as to the number of shares that will be repurchased (if any), and we may extend, suspend or discontinue our repurchase program at any time without notice at our discretion. Repurchased shares will be re-designated as authorized but unissued.
Balance Sheet
As of September 30, 2015, we had $1.4 billion of consolidated debt bearing a 5.2% weighted average interest rate and an eight-year weighted-average maturity. We had $56.9 million of cash and cash equivalents and $24.7 million of restricted cash, of which $6.3 million secured our Knickerbocker construction loan.
“With the portfolio and balance sheet transformation completed, our financial condition is in great shape. We are on track to meet our leverage goal by the end of next year, as the Wyndham portfolio and Knickerbocker stabilize. Our leverage will improve further with the contemplated opportunistic asset sales. During 2015, we significantly reduced our cost of debt, mitigated rising interest rate risk and further staggered our already exceptional maturity profile. We have no material debt maturing until 2020 and a weighted average debt maturity of 2023. Our weighted-average cost of debt is approximately 110 basis points lower than at December 31, 2013. We now have 18 unencumbered properties,” said Michael C. Hughes, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of FelCor.
Common Dividend
During the third quarter, we declared a $0.04 per share common stock dividend, which will be paid in October. Our Board of Directors will determine future quarterly common stock dividends based on funds available for distribution, reinvestment opportunities within our portfolio and taxable income, among other things.
Capital Expenditures
During the third quarter, we invested $11.5 million in capital improvements at our hotels (excluding The Knickerbocker, in which we invested $10.0 million during the quarter). 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 12 of this release for more detail on renovations.

Outlook and The Knickerbocker Update
We have lowered our EBITDA guidance by $6.0 million (mid-point) to account for lower than expected August results and updated Knickerbocker operations. Our same-store RevPAR expectations for the fourth quarter remain unchanged.

Our updated forecast for The Knickerbocker primarily reflects strict inventory control that is necessary to maintain rate integrity. After successful revenue management changes in early September, ADR is trending within our expectations. Since Labor Day, ADR has been roughly $500, and we will maintain this aggressive rate positioning going forward. We continue to expect that the hotel will meet or exceed our stabilized forecast.

Our outlook assumes EBITDA for the Wyndham hotels equals the aggregate amounts guaranteed by Wyndham for the year.

For the year, we expect:
RevPAR for same-store hotels will increase 8.75 - 9.0%;
Adjusted EBITDA will be $236.5 million - 240.5 million;
Adjusted FFO per share will be $0.83 - 0.86;
Net loss attributable to FelCor will be $5.3 million - 1.3 million; and
Interest expense, including our pro rata share from joint ventures, will be approximately $80.0 million.

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.

(a)
Under GAAP, we include the operating performance for disposed, held for sale and recently opened hotels in continuing operations in our Consolidated Statements of Operations. 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.
Adjustments to FFO and EBITDA
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.
