IRVING, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- FelCor Lodging Trust Incorporated (NYSE: FCH) today reported operating results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2009.
"We continue to accomplish the goals we set at the beginning of the year: extend debt maturities; ensure adequate liquidity; and operate our hotels as efficiently as possible. We refinanced our senior corporate debt with new senior notes, thereby pushing the maturity to 2014 and substantially removing the Company's refinancing risk," said Richard A. Smith, FelCor's President and Chief Executive Officer. "I am pleased with our market share gains and flow-through, despite lower than expected RevPAR. We continue to lead other lodging companies in these three areas. Our high-quality and well-located portfolio improved market share by approximately two percent during the quarter and intense cost containment limited the flow-through of reduced revenue to the bottom line to only 51 percent, which was better than expected," continued Mr. Smith.
Summary:
- Completed the sale of $636 million of senior notes due 2014 that allowed us to refinance our existing senior notes that mature in 2011.
- RevPAR decreased 17.8 percent for the third quarter at our 85 consolidated hotels.
- Market share increased approximately two percent for the third quarter at our 85 consolidated hotels.
- RevPAR increased 53 percent in the third quarter at the San Francisco Marriott Union Square (following the completion of the redevelopment in June).
- Hotel expenses declined 11.6 percent during the third quarter. Our strict expense controls limited the effect of reduced revenue on flow-through to Hotel EBITDA to 51 percent, compared to the prior year, which was better than our expectations. Hotel EBITDA margin decreased 490 basis points.
- Adjusted FFO per share was $0.14 for the third quarter. Adjusted EBITDA was $45.3 million for the quarter. This met the low end of our expectations.
- Net loss for the third quarter was $25.5 million.
Third Quarter Operating Results:
Revenue per available room ("RevPAR") for our 85 consolidated hotels decreased by 17.8 percent to $80.39, driven by decreases in both average daily rate ("ADR") (a 12.5 percent decrease to $116.51) and occupancy (a 6.0 percent decrease to 69.0 percent), compared to the same period in 2008.
"Once the economy begins to improve, we expect the lodging industry will lag behind the broader recovery. As such, there has not yet been a widespread improvement in demand trends and the shift of the customer mix continues to pressure rates. However, some markets are showing signs of improvement. Approximately 40 percent of our hotels grew occupancy in September compared to prior year, and that trend is accelerating each month," added Mr. Smith.
Adjusted Funds from Operations ("FFO") for the third quarter of 2009 was $9.0 million, or $0.14 per share, compared to $28.7 million, or $0.45 per share, for the same period in 2008.
Hotel EBITDA for the third quarter of 2009 decreased to $50.9 million, compared to $75.0 million in the same period in 2008. Hotel EBITDA margin was 22.2 percent, a 490 basis point decrease compared to the same period in 2008. Hotel operating expenses decreased 11.6 percent compared to prior year. The decline in expenses reflects various factors including: decreased labor costs, including permanent hotel staffing reductions; decreased other room expenses, such as guest transportation and in-room amenities; decreased incentive management fees; and improved food and beverage efficiencies. Prior to accounting for taxes, insurance and land leases, Hotel EBITDA margins declined only 397 basis points. Hotel EBITDA represents EBITDA generated by our hotels before corporate expenses and joint venture adjustments.
Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of 2009 was $45.3 million, compared to $65.1 million for the same period in 2008.
Net loss applicable to common stockholders for the third quarter of 2009 was $34.8 million, or $0.55 per share, compared to a net loss of $51.3 million, or $0.83 per share, for the same period in 2008.
EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Hotel EBITDA, Hotel EBITDA margin, FFO and Adjusted FFO are all non-GAAP financial measures. See our discussion of "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" beginning on page 13 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.
Balance Sheet:
At September 30, 2009, we had $1.6 billion of consolidated debt outstanding with a weighted average interest rate of 5.5 percent, and our cash and cash equivalents totaled $128 million.
In October, we completed the sale and issuance of $636 million in aggregate principal amount of senior notes. The new notes bear an annual interest rate of 10 percent and mature in 2014. The net proceeds of the offering were approximately $558 million after original issue discount and other fees and expenses related to the offering. The proceeds were used to fund our purchase of $427 million of our floating-rate notes and 81/2 percent notes, both of which mature in 2011, with the remainder available for general corporate purposes. There are $87 million of 81/2 percent notes that were not tendered and remain outstanding. We have called for redemption of the remaining $1 million of floating-rate notes that were not tendered.
We have received term sheets from the special servicer to extend the maturity dates on two loans, totaling $14 million, secured by the Embassy Suites - Boca Raton and Doubletree - Wilmington that matured in June 2009. We are also in various stages of discussions regarding all of our mortgage loans that mature during 2010. Several of these loans have been transferred to the special servicers so that we may begin negotiations to refinance and/or extend their maturity.
"I am pleased with our progress to extend and refinance our maturing debt and ensure we have adequate liquidity. Most importantly, we refinanced our only corporate-level debt, the senior notes that were to mature in 2011, with new senior notes that mature in 2014. While the interest rate for the new notes is higher than the existing notes, we have substantially eliminated our debt maturity risk. We have also strengthened our liquidity position, which provides us the capacity and flexibility to address the additional interest expense on the new notes and the economic conditions that continue to affect travel demand. We have made good progress toward extending the mortgage debt that matures in 2010 and continue to work with lenders," said Andrew J. Welch, FelCor's Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer.
Capital Expenditures and Development:
For the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2009, we spent $17.2 million and $65.4 million, respectively, on capital expenditures at our hotels (including our pro rata share of joint ventures). Included in the capital expenditures for the nine months is $34 million to complete our renovation and redevelopment projects.
In June, we completed the final phase of the comprehensive redevelopment at the San Francisco Marriott Union Square. Third quarter RevPAR increased 53 percent at this hotel (which operated as Hotel 480 prior to April), compared to the prior year, and its market share increased by 98 percent, exceeding expectations. The market share index for this hotel was 107 percent in the quarter compared to 80 percent for calendar year 2007 (before its renovation and rebranding).
Outlook:
We are revising our 2009 outlook in light of the additional interest expense associated with our recent notes offering. In addition, we assume all of the untendered 81/2 percent notes ($87 million) remain outstanding for the duration of the year, and we hold significant excess cash on our balance sheet. We are evaluating our options with regard to the future use of our excess cash.
We also are revising our 2009 outlook to reflect updated revenue expectations, which include actual RevPAR results for October. Occupancy declined only 2.4 percent and RevPAR declined approximately 12.6 percent for October at our 85 consolidated hotels. The volatile economic conditions continue to hinder our ability to predict demand patterns and its effect on RevPAR. We continue to be aggressive in mixing the customer segments to optimize revenue and work with our operators to achieve the most efficient cost structure to correspond with demand trends. While the occupancy decline in all segments has continued to moderate throughout the year, the premium corporate and group segments remain weak. As a result, we expect fewer room nights for the premium corporate and group segments during the fourth quarter, compared to our previous expectations. This shift in the customer mix will result in lower ADR and food & beverage revenue. However, due to strict expense controls, we still expect flow-through to remain strong, relative to current market conditions.
We will continue to benefit from our high-quality portfolio, the renovations we completed in 2008 and the redevelopment of the San Francisco Marriott Union Square. As a result, we expect our hotels will continue to gain market share from their competitive sets and RevPAR at our portfolio to outperform our peer group and the upper-upscale segment.
Assuming full-year 2009 RevPAR for our 85 consolidated hotels decreases between 18 and 18.5 percent, we anticipate:
- Adjusted EBITDA to be between $174 million and $176 million;
- Adjusted FFO per share to be between $0.31 and $0.34;
- Net loss to be between $113 million and $111 million; and
- Interest expense to be approximately $110 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, 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.

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, including FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Hotel EBITDA and Hotel EBITDA margin, 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 White Paper on Funds From Operations approved by the Board of Governors of 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 and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures are calculated to reflect FFO 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 recurring and non-recurring items, including but not limited to these described below, 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 early extinguishment of debt and interest
rate swaps -We exclude gains and losses related to early 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.
-- Impairment losses - We exclude the effect of impairment losses and gains
or losses on disposition of assets in computing Adjusted FFO and
Adjusted EBITDA because we believe that including these is not
consistent with reflecting the ongoing performance of our remaining
assets. Additionally, we believe that impairment charges and gains or
losses on disposition of assets represent accelerated depreciation, or
excess depreciation, and depreciation is excluded from FFO by the NAREIT
definition and 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.
In addition, to derive Adjusted EBITDA, we exclude gains or losses on the sale of assets because we believe that including them in EBITDA is not consistent with reflecting the ongoing performance of our remaining assets. Additionally, the gain or loss on sale of depreciable assets represents either accelerated depreciation or excess depreciation in previous periods, and depreciation is excluded from EBITDA.
Hotel EBITDA and Hotel EBITDA Margin
Hotel EBITDA and Hotel EBITDA margin are commonly used measures of performance in the industry and give investors a more complete understanding of the operating results over which our individual hotels and operating 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 used by us in our financial and operational decision making. Additionally, these measures facilitate comparisons with other hotel REITs and hotel owners. We present Hotel EBITDA and Hotel EBITDA margin by eliminating from continuing operations all revenues and expenses not directly associated with hotel operations including corporate-level expenses, depreciation and expenses related to our capital structure. We eliminate corporate-level costs and expenses because we believe property-level results provide investors with supplemental information with respect to the ongoing operating performance of our hotels and the effectiveness of management on a property-level basis. We eliminate depreciation and amortization, even though they are property-level expenses, because we do not believe that these non-cash expenses, which are based on historical cost accounting for real estate assets and implicitly assume that the value of real estate assets diminish predictably over time, accurately reflect an adjustment in the value of our assets. 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 hotels. Hotel EBITDA and Hotel EBITDA margins are presented on a same-store basis.
Limitations of Non-GAAP Measures
Our management and Board of Directors use FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Hotel EBITDA and Hotel EBITDA margin to evaluate the performance of our hotels and to facilitate comparisons between us and 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. FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Hotel EBITDA and Hotel EBITDA margin, as presented by us, may not be comparable to the same measures as calculated by other real estate companies. These measures do not reflect certain expenses that we incurred and will incur, such as depreciation and interest or capital expenditures. Management compensates 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 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.
