Bierkan, President and Chief Executive Officer. “We also made significant progress on our key strategic initiatives, particularly in terms of asset sales and debt reduction. During the quarter, we completed the sale of the Sheraton Philadelphia at an attractive valuation and successfully redeemed the legacy FelCor secured bonds. With an active disposition pipeline and other key initiatives on track, we expect to build on this momentum as we continue to unlock meaningful value going forward.”
Financial and Operating Results
Performance metrics such as Occupancy, Average Daily Rate (“ADR”), Revenue Per Available Room (“RevPAR”), Hotel EBITDA, and Hotel EBITDA Margin are Pro forma. The prefix “Pro forma” as defined by the Company, denotes operating results which include results for periods prior to its ownership and excludes sold hotels. Pro forma RevPAR and Pro forma Hotel EBITDA Margin are reported on a comparable basis and therefore exclude any hotels sold during the period and non-comparable hotels that were not open for operation or were closed for renovation for comparable periods. Explanations of EBITDA, EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDA, Hotel EBITDA, Hotel EBITDA Margin, FFO, and Adjusted FFO, as well as reconciliations of those measures to net income or loss, if applicable, are included within this release.
Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2018, increased $2.1 million to $23.9 million, representing a 9.7% increase over the comparable period in 2017.

Pro forma RevPAR for the three months ended March 31, 2018, decreased 0.7% over the comparable period in 2017, driven by a Pro forma ADR decrease of 0.8%, and by a Pro forma Occupancy increase of 0.1%. Excluding the headwinds from the Super Bowl in Houston, inauguration events in Washington DC, and renovation displacement, RevPAR would have been up 170 basis points.

On March 9, 2018, the Company completed the early redemption of all of the outstanding 5.625% Senior Secured Notes due 2023 issued by FelCor Lodging Limited Partnership in the principal amount of $524.0 million.
As of March 31, 2018, the Company had $401.9 million of unrestricted cash on its balance sheet, $300.0 million available on its revolving credit facility, and $2.6 billion of debt outstanding.
The Company’s ratio of net debt to Adjusted EBITDA for the trailing twelve-month period ended March 31, 2018, was 4.0 times (excluding preferred equity).
Dividends

In alignment with the Board’s executive succession planning, the Board of Trustees has named Leslie D. Hale as President and Chief Executive Officer, effective August 22, 2018.
2018 Outlook
The Company’s outlook includes all hotels owned as of May 9, 2018. Potential future acquisitions or dispositions could result in a material change to the Company’s outlook. The 2018 outlook is also based on a number of other assumptions, many of which are outside the Company’s control and all of which are subject to change.
3
Key revisions to the Company's full year 2018 guidance reflect:
• | An increase to the low-end of the Pro forma RevPAR growth range by 50 basis points based on first quarter operating performance. |
• | A net reduction to Pro forma Consolidated Hotel EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA by $5 million at the midpoint driven by: |
– | A $4 million increase to the low-end of Pro forma Consolidated Hotel EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA based on first quarter operating performance. |
– | A $7 million reduction to Pro forma Consolidated Hotel EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA due to the sale of the Sheraton Philadelphia Society Hill Hotel. |
Additionally, key assumptions underlying the Company's full year 2018 guidance that remain unchanged:
• | Approximately 100 basis points of renovation related RevPAR disruption. |
• | RevPAR headwinds related to tough comps from last year's hurricane recovery efforts of approximately 50 basis points. |
• | Margin impact from property real estate taxes and insurance increases, partially driven by the impact from Proposition 13 on FelCor's California hotels, of approximately 60 to 70 basis points. |
For the full year 2018, the Company anticipates:
Current Outlook | Prior Outlook | |
Pro forma RevPAR growth | -0.5% to +1.0% | -1.0% to +1.0% |
Pro forma Hotel EBITDA Margin | 31.25% to 32.5% | 31.25% to 32.5% |
Pro forma Consolidated Hotel EBITDA | $562M to $593M | $565M to $600M |
Adjusted EBITDA | $524M to $555M | $527M to $562M |
Corporate Cash General & Administrative | $37M to $39M | $37M to $39M |

The following information contains certain statements, other than purely historical information, including estimates, projections, statements relating to the Company’s business plans, objectives and
expected operating results, and the assumptions upon which those statements are based, that are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These forward-looking statements generally are identified by the use of the words “believe,” “project,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “plan,” “may,” “will,” “will continue,” “intend,” “should,” or similar expressions. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions, beliefs, and expectations, such forward-looking statements are not predictions of future events or
guarantees of future performance and the Company’s actual results could differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements. Some factors that might cause such a difference include
the following: the current global economic uncertainty, increased direct competition, changes in government regulations or accounting rules, changes in local, national, and global real estate conditions, declines in the lodging industry, seasonality of the lodging industry, risks related to natural disasters, such as earthquakes and hurricanes, hostilities, including future terrorist attacks or fear of hostilities that affect travel, the Company’s ability to obtain lines of credit or permanent financing on satisfactory terms, changes in interest rates, access to capital through offerings of the
Company’s common and preferred shares of beneficial interest, or debt, the Company’s ability to identify suitable acquisitions, the Company’s ability to close on identified acquisitions and integrate
those businesses, and inaccuracies of the Company’s accounting estimates. Given these uncertainties, undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. Except as required by law, the Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. The Company cautions investors not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements and urges investors to carefully review the disclosures the Company makes concerning risks and uncertainties in the sections entitled “Risk Factors,” “Forward-Looking Statements,” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in the Company’s Annual Report, as well as risks, uncertainties and other factors discussed in other documents filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Non-GAAP and Accounting Commentary
Non-Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) Financial Measures
The Company considers the following non-GAAP financial measures useful to investors as key supplemental measures of its performance: (1) FFO, (2) Adjusted FFO, (3) EBITDA, (4) EBITDAre, (5) Adjusted EBITDA, (6) Hotel EBITDA, and (7) Hotel EBITDA Margin. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered along with, but not as alternatives to, net income or loss as a measure of its operating performance. FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA, EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDA, Hotel EBITDA, and Hotel EBITDA Margin as calculated by the Company, may not be comparable to other companies that do not define such terms exactly as the Company.
FFO
The Company calculates Funds from Operations (“FFO”) in accordance with standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT, which defines FFO as net income or loss (calculated in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains or losses from sales of real estate, impairment, the cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles, plus depreciation and amortization, 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 real estate industry investors consider FFO to be helpful in evaluating a real estate company’s operations. The Company believes that the presentation of FFO provides useful information to investors regarding the Company’s operating performance and can facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods and between real estate investment trusts
(“REITs”), even though FFO does not represent an amount that accrues directly to common shareholders.
The Company’s calculation of FFO may not be comparable to measures calculated by other companies who do not use the NAREIT definition of FFO or do not calculate FFO per diluted share in accordance with NAREIT guidance. Additionally, FFO may not be helpful when comparing the Company to non-REITs. The Company presents FFO attributable to common shareholders, which includes unitholders of limited partnership interest (“OP units”) in RLJ Lodging Trust, L.P., the Company’s operating partnership, because the OP units are redeemable for common shares of the Company. The Company believes it is meaningful for the investor to understand FFO attributable to all common shares and OP units.
EBITDA and EBITDAre
Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization (“EBITDA") is defined as net income or loss excluding: (1) interest expense; (2) provision for income taxes, including income taxes applicable to sales of assets; and (3) depreciation and amortization. The Company considers EBITDA useful to an investor in evaluating and facilitating comparisons of its operating performance between periods and between REITs by removing the impact of its capital structure (primarily interest expense) and asset base (primarily depreciation and amortization) from its operating results. In addition, EBITDA is used as one measure in determining the value of hotel acquisitions and dispositions.
6
In addition to EBITDA, the Company presents EBITDAre in accordance with NAREIT guidelines, which defines EBITDAre as net income or loss (calculated in accordance with GAAP) excluding interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization expense, gains or losses from sales of real estate, impairment, and adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. The Company believes that the presentation of EBITDAre provides useful information to investors regarding the Company’s operating performance and can facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods and between real estate investment trusts (“REITs”).
Adjustments to FFO and EBITDAre
The Company adjusts FFO and EBITDAre for certain items that the Company considers outside the normal course of operations or extraordinary. The Company believes that Adjusted FFO and Adjusted EBITDA provide useful supplemental information to investors regarding its ongoing operating performance that, when considered with net income or loss, FFO, EBITDA, and EBITDAre, are beneficial to an investor’s understanding of its operating performance. The Company adjusts FFO and EBITDAre for the following items:
• | Transaction Costs: The Company excludes transaction costs expensed during the period. |
• | Non-Cash Expenses: The Company excludes the effect of certain non-cash items such as the amortization of share-based compensation and non-cash income taxes. |
• | Other Non-Operational Expenses: The Company excludes the effect of certain non-operational expenses. The Company excludes hurricane-related costs not reimbursed by insurance, property-level severance costs, debt modification and extinguishment costs, and other income and expenses outside the normal course of operations. |
The Company previously presented Adjusted EBITDA in a similar manner, with the exception of the adjustments for noncontrolling interests in consolidated joint ventures, which totaled less than $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017. The rationale for including 100% of Adjusted EBITDA for consolidated joint ventures with noncontrolling interests is that the full amount of any debt of these consolidated joint ventures is reported in our consolidated balance sheet and metrics using debt to EBITDA provide a better understanding of the Company’s leverage. This is also consistent with NAREIT’s definition of EBITDAre.
Hotel EBITDA and Hotel EBITDA Margin
With respect to Consolidated Hotel EBITDA, the Company believes that excluding the effect of corporate-level expenses and certain non-cash items provides a more complete understanding of the operating results over which individual hotels and operators have direct control. The Company believes property-level results provide investors with supplemental information about the ongoing operational performance of the Company’s hotels and the effectiveness of its third-party management companies.
Pro forma Consolidated Hotel EBITDA includes prior ownership information provided by the sellers of the hotels for periods prior to our acquisition of the hotels, which has not been audited and excludes results from sold hotels as applicable. Pro forma Hotel EBITDA and Pro forma Hotel EBITDA Margin exclude the results of any non-comparable hotels that were under renovation or not open for the entirety of the comparable periods. The following is a summary of pro forma hotel adjustments:
