NASHVILLE, Tenn. (Feb. 23, 2018) – Ryman Hospitality Properties, Inc. (NYSE: RHP), a lodging real estate investment trust (“REIT”) specializing in group-oriented, destination hotel assets in urban and resort markets, today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2017.

Colin Reed, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Ryman Hospitality Properties, said, “Simply stated, 2017 was a tremendous year for our businesses. Our fourth quarter results exceeded our expectations going into the quarter, which resulted in better than expected year-over-year growth in total revenue, net income and Adjusted EBITDA. Our strong 2017 fourth quarter and full year gross room night production for all future periods continues to support our thesis that demand for hotels of our size and group-oriented nature is strengthening. With limited new supply coming online for the foreseeable future, and our own high-return capital projects scheduled to open throughout 2018, we believe we are in a prime position to benefit from this unique opportunity in both the near and long-term.”

During the fourth quarter 2017, the Company recognized an income tax benefit of $51.2 million, which relates primarily to the release of valuation allowances during the year of $53.4 million and a benefit related to tax reform of $2.0 million. The release of the valuation allowance was due to a change in realizability of the deferred tax assets at the Company’s taxable REIT subsidiaries as a result of updated terms to the Company’s internal leases between its REIT subsidiaries and its taxable REIT subsidiaries that are effective as of January 1, 2018 and were completed in the fourth quarter of 2017.

Highlights for fourth quarter 2017 for the Hospitality segment and at each property include:

 

   

Hospitality Segment: Total revenue increased 7.0 percent to $312.5 million in fourth quarter 2017 compared to fourth quarter 2016. RevPAR and Total RevPAR increased 5.9 percent and 7.0 percent, respectively, in the fourth quarter 2017 compared to the fourth quarter 2016, driven by a 7.1 percent increase in corporate ADR on flat room night growth for corporate groups, coupled with a strong 6.5 percent increase in transient ADR particularly around the holidays. In addition,

holiday programming, such as ICE!, saw an increase in attendance and contributed to strong outside the room spending during the quarter. Operating income decreased 39.6 percent to $38.2 million in fourth quarter 2017, as compared to fourth quarter 2016, negatively impacted by a non-recurring, non-cash impairment charge of $35.4 million related to a portion of the bonds issued to the Company by Prince George’s County, Maryland as part of the economic incentive package the Company received for construction of the Gaylord National property, which the Company holds as a note receivable. This impairment reflects the lower incentive payments expected to be received by the Company over the remaining life of the bonds. Excluding this non-recurring charge, Hospitality segment operating income for the quarter would have been $73.7 million, or a 16.2 percent increase over fourth quarter 2016. Inclusive of the non-cash charge, operating income margin declined by 950 basis points to 12.2 percent. Excluding this non-recurring charge, operating income margin would have increased 190 basis points compared to the prior year quarter. Adjusted EBITDA increased 12.7 percent to $103.9 million in fourth quarter 2017, as compared to fourth quarter 2016. Adjusted EBITDA margin increased 160 basis points to 33.2 percent.

Gaylord Opryland: Total revenue for fourth quarter 2017 increased 8.7 percent to $106.3 million compared to fourth quarter 2016, driven by a favorable mix shift to premium corporate and transient room nights coupled with strong food and beverage performance. Occupancy increased 30 basis points to 82.2 percent compared to fourth quarter 2016. ADR increased 7.1 percent in the quarter led by a 17.1 percent increase in corporate ADR and an 8.8 percent increase in transient ADR that helped drive a 7.5 percent and 8.7 percent increase in RevPAR and Total RevPAR, respectively, compared to the fourth quarter of 2016. The mix shift to premium corporate room nights contributed an increase in group banquet and catering revenue compared to fourth quarter 2016. Operating income increased 17.3 percent to $31.2 million in fourth quarter 2017, as compared to fourth quarter 2016. Operating income margin improved 220 basis points to

29.4 percent. Adjusted EBITDA increased 15.4 percent for fourth quarter 2017, to $40.0 million, and Adjusted EBITDA margin improved 220 basis points to 37.6 percent, due primarily to the increase in ADR as compared to fourth quarter 2016.

    Gaylord Palms: Total revenue for fourth quarter 2017 increased 7.8 percent to $56.1 million compared to fourth quarter 2016, driven by a 310-basis point increase in occupancy and an 8.3 percent increase in ADR. RevPAR and Total RevPAR increased by 12.7 percent and 7.8 percent, respectively, in the fourth quarter of 2017 compared to the fourth quarter of 2016. Strong group room night performance in the quarter from corporate and association groups, as compared to fourth quarter 2016, was the primary driver of the favorable performance. As a result of the strong group night performance during the quarter, outside the room spending in food and beverage increased and contributed to the favorable performance, as compared to the fourth quarter 2016. Transient room nights were down compared to fourth quarter 2016 due to increased group demand during the fourth quarter 2017. Despite the drop in transient room nights, transient ADR was up almost 15 percent as compared to fourth quarter 2016 due to compression created by room night demand from group customers. Operating income increased 40.9 percent to $10.4 million in fourth quarter 2017, as compared to fourth quarter 2016. Operating income margin increased 440 basis points to 18.5 percent. Adjusted EBITDA increased 21.0 percent to $16.4 million compared to fourth quarter 2016, and Adjusted EBITDA margin increased 320 basis points to 29.2 percent, driven by solid rate growth and increased occupancy.

    Gaylord Texan: Total revenue for fourth quarter 2017 increased 2.5 percent to $70.4 million compared to fourth quarter 2016, driven by an increase in group-related food and beverage revenue. RevPAR declined by 2.5 percent in fourth quarter 2017, compared to fourth quarter 2016, due to a modest decline in group room nights and a decrease in group ADR.

Gaylord National: Total revenue for fourth quarter 2017 increased 8.6 percent to $72.9 million, compared to fourth quarter 2016, driven by a combination of increased transient room nights, an increase in overall group ADR, favorable food and beverage performance from groups, and strong holiday programming performance. RevPAR and Total RevPAR increased by 6.0 percent and 8.6 percent, respectively, in the quarter compared to the fourth quarter of 2016. Operating income decreased 471.2 percent to a loss of $27.1 million in fourth quarter 2017, as compared to

fourth quarter 2016. As mentioned previously, operating income and associated margin in the quarter was negatively impacted by a non-recurring, non-cash impairment charge of $35.4 million related to a portion of the bonds issued to the Company by Prince George’s County, Maryland as part of the economic incentive package the Company received for construction of the Gaylord National property. This impairment reflects the lower incentive payments expected to be received by the Company over the remaining life of the bonds. Excluding this non-recurring charge, operating income would have been $8.3 million in the quarter, an increase of 14.3% as compared to the fourth quarter of 2016. Operating income margin, excluding this non-recurring charge, improved by 50 basis points to 11.4 percent. Adjusted EBITDA increased 10.6 percent to $17.9 million, as compared to fourth quarter 2016. Adjusted EBITDA margin increased 50 basis points to 24.6 percent.

Reed continued, “2017 in terms of revenue and gross room night production was another record year for our Hospitality segment. We are pleased with our hotels’ ability to drive profitability growth, both individually and as a portfolio, given our expectations of flat to modest revenue growth for 2017. This performance further illustrates the unique nature of our group-centric model and the competitive advantage we believe it affords us.”

Reed continued, “For the fourth year in a row, our Entertainment segment has produced double-digit revenue, operating income, and Adjusted EBITDA growth primarily attributed to our existing legacy brands, which continue to gain in popularity. We continued to focus on people, processes and operational excellence in these businesses throughout 2017 in addition to our growth projects, Opry City Stage in New York City and our new Ole Red brand. We successfully opened Ole Red Tishomingo in Blake Shelton’s hometown in the third quarter of 2017, and we are looking forward to the scheduled opening of

2018 should be another busy year for the Company as we anticipate the completion and opening of our previously announced growth projects, including our rooms and meeting space expansion at Gaylord Texan (Q2 2018), Ole Red Nashville (Q2 2018), SoundWaves, our water experience at Gaylord Opryland (Q4 2018), and Gaylord Rockies Resort & Convention Center (Q4 2018), a joint-venture investment. All projects currently remain on budget and on pace for their estimated completion dates referenced above.

Guidance

The following business performance outlook is based on current information as of February 23, 2018. The Company does not expect to update the guidance provided below before next quarter’s earnings release. However, the Company may update its full business outlook or any portion thereof at any time for any reason.

Reed continued, “As we communicated throughout 2017, our group room nights on the books for 2018 have been building over the past several years, and we believe 2018 is shaping up to be a strong year for our Company. In fact, we entered 2018 with more group room nights on the books than we had going into 2017, which was a record year for our Company. Our forward book of business is as strong as it has ever been and provides us with the visibility and confidence to make strategic investments in our hotels, many of which are currently scheduled to open in 2018. The first of these, the Gaylord Texan expansion, is on track to open in the second quarter of 2018. Two of our larger investments, Soundwaves at Gaylord Opryland and the Gaylord Rockies joint venture, are currently scheduled to open in mid-to-late fourth quarter of 2018. Additionally, we anticipate having approximately 14,600 room nights out of service at Gaylord National during the fourth quarter of 2018 as we commence a rooms renovation project that will carry into 2019. Given the group room nights and customer mix we have on the books for 2018, the growth projects coming online in the Hospitality segment, and our expectation for an improving overall economic climate, we expect RevPAR growth between 2.0% and 4.0% compared to 2017. In addition, we believe we will generate between 3.0% and 5.0% growth in Total RevPAR over 2017.

For full year 2018, consolidated net income assumes an estimated range of $155.3 to $157.0 million. Our Adjusted EBITDA guidance range for full year 2018 for our Hospitality segment is $365.0 to $375.0 million. This Adjusted EBITDA guidance for our Hospitality segment includes the impact of the initial room renovation work at Gaylord National and the ramp up of the Gaylord Texan expansion. Given the anticipated opening dates of mid-to-late fourth quarter 2018 for both SoundWaves at Gaylord Opryland and the Gaylord Rockies joint venture, we do not believe either project will provide a material financial contribution in 2018. As such, we have not included them in our 2018 Hospitality segment guidance.

Our 2018 Adjusted EBITDA guidance for the Entertainment segment is $44.0 to $50.0 million and Corporate & Other guidance for Adjusted EBITDA in 2018 is a loss of $26.0 to $25.0 million. As a result, our guidance for 2018 Adjusted EBITDA on a consolidated basis is $383.0 to $400.0 million.

We entered 2018 with 6.9 million gross room nights on the books for all future years for our hotels excluding the Gaylord Rockies joint venture, and we remain confident in our ability to capitalize on the strength of the group market in the short term and especially in 2019 and beyond with the full anticipated benefit of our capital reinvestments at Gaylord Texan and Gaylord Opryland, as well as our investment in Gaylord Rockies. Coupled with our growth plans on the Entertainment side of our business, we believe the future looks promising for our Company.”

Calculation of RevPAR and Total RevPAR

We calculate revenue per available room (“RevPAR”) for our hotels by dividing room revenue by room nights available to guests for the period. We calculate total revenue per available room (“Total RevPAR”) for our hotels by dividing the sum of room revenue, food & beverage and other ancillary services revenue by room nights available to guests for the period.

Calculation of GAAP Margin Figures

We calculate Net Income Margin by dividing GAAP consolidated Net Income by GAAP consolidated Total Revenue. We calculate consolidated, segment or property-level Operating Income Margin by dividing consolidated, segment or property-level GAAP Operating Income by consolidated, segment or property-level GAAP Revenue.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We present the following non-GAAP financial measures we believe are useful to investors as key measures of our operating performance:

Adjusted EBITDA Definition

To calculate Adjusted EBITDA, we first determine Operating Income, which represents Net Income (loss) determined in accordance with GAAP, plus, to the extent the following adjustments occurred during the periods presented: loss (income) from discontinued operations, net; provision (benefit) for income taxes; other (gains) and losses, net; loss on extinguishment of debt; (income) loss from joint ventures; and interest expense, net. Adjusted EBITDA is then calculated as Operating Income, plus, to the extent the following adjustments occurred during the periods presented: depreciation and amortization; preopening costs; non-cash ground lease expense; equity-based compensation expense; impairment charges; any closing costs of completed acquisitions; interest income on Gaylord National bonds; other gains and (losses), net; (gains) losses on warrant settlements; pension settlement charges; pro rata Adjusted EBITDA from joint ventures, (gains) losses on the disposal of assets, and any other adjustments we have identified in this release. We believe Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors in evaluating our operating performance because this measure helps investors evaluate and compare the results of our operations from period to period by removing the impact of our capital structure (primarily interest expense) and our asset base (primarily depreciation and amortization) from our operating results. A

 

13


reconciliation of Net Income (loss) to Operating Income and Adjusted EBITDA and a reconciliation of segment and property-level Operating Income to segment and property-level Adjusted EBITDA are set forth below under “Supplemental Financial Results.”

Adjusted EBITDA Margin Definition

We calculate consolidated Adjusted EBITDA Margin by dividing consolidated Adjusted EBITDA by GAAP consolidated Total Revenue. We calculate segment or property-level Adjusted EBITDA Margin by dividing segment, or property-level Adjusted EBITDA by segment, or property-level GAAP Revenue. We believe Adjusted EBITDA Margin is useful to investors in evaluating our operating performance because this non-GAAP financial measure helps investors evaluate and compare the results of our operations from period to period by presenting a ratio showing the quantitative relationship between Adjusted EBITDA and GAAP consolidated Total Revenue segment or property-level GAAP Revenue, as applicable.

Adjusted FFO Definition

We calculate Adjusted FFO to mean Net Income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding, to the extent the following adjustments occurred during the periods presented: non-controlling interests, and (gains) and losses from sales of property; depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs and debt discounts) and certain pro rata adjustments from joint ventures (which equals FFO). We then exclude, to the extent the following adjustments occurred during the periods presented, impairment charges; write-offs of deferred financing costs, non-cash ground lease expense, amortization of debt discounts and amortization of deferred financing cost, pension settlement charges, additional pro rata adjustments from joint ventures, (gains) losses on other assets, and (gains) losses on extinguishment of debt and warrant settlements. Beginning in 2016, we exclude the impact of deferred income tax expense (benefit). We believe that the presentation of Adjusted FFO provides useful information to investors regarding the performance of our ongoing operations because it is a measure of our operations without regard to specified non-cash items such as real estate depreciation and amortization, gain or loss on sale of assets and certain other items which we believe are not indicative of the performance of our underlying hotel properties. We believe that these items are more representative of our asset base than our ongoing operations. We also use Adjusted FFO as one measure in determining our results after taking into account the impact of our capital structure. A reconciliation of Net Income (loss) to Adjusted FFO is set forth below under “Supplemental Financial Results.”

 

14


We caution investors that amounts presented in accordance with our definitions of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, and Adjusted FFO may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by other companies, because not all companies calculate these non-GAAP measures in the same manner. Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, and Adjusted FFO, and any related per share measures, should not be considered as alternative measures of our Net Income (loss), operating performance, cash flow or liquidity. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted FFO may include funds that may not be available for our discretionary use due to functional requirements to conserve funds for capital expenditures and property acquisitions and other commitments and uncertainties. Although we believe that Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, and Adjusted FFO can enhance an investor’s understanding of our results of operations, these non-GAAP financial measures, when viewed individually, are not necessarily better indicators of any trend as compared to GAAP measures such as Net Income (loss), Net Income Margin, Operating Income (loss), Operating Income Margin, or cash flow from operations. In addition, you should be aware that adverse economic and market and other conditions may harm our cash flow.
