NASHVILLE, Tenn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- 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 second quarter ended June 30, 2016.

Colin Reed, chairman and chief executive officer of Ryman Hospitality Properties, said, “We are very pleased with our solid second quarter 2016 results from a revenue and Adjusted EBITDA perspective. We anticipated that the second quarter would be strong for our Hospitality segment, which generated same-store RevPAR growth of 5.9 percent and same-store Total RevPAR growth of 6.4 percent when compared to the second quarter of 2015.

Along with our peers, we did experience some in the year for the year softness during the second quarter of 2016; however, the contractual nature of our business affords us a measure of profitability protection during times of macroeconomic uncertainty that differentiates our model from others in our sector.

On the bookings front, we bested our impressive 2015 second quarter gross definite room night bookings for all future periods by 13.5 percent in the second quarter of 2016, which is indicative of the continued strength we see in our core group business in the years ahead.”

Property-level results and operating metrics for second quarter 2016 are presented in greater detail below and under “Supplemental Financial Results—Hospitality Segment Adjusted EBITDA Reconciliations,” which includes a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures Hospitality Adjusted EBITDA to Hospitality Operating Income, Same-Store Hospitality Adjusted EBITDA to Same-Store Hospitality Operating Income, and property-level Adjusted EBITDA to property-level Operating Income for each of the hotel properties. Highlights for second quarter 2016 for the Hospitality segment and at each property include:

Reed continued, “We are pleased with the top- and bottom-line growth our hotels produced on association and transient-driven occupancy increases this quarter as compared to the second quarter of 2015. We are especially pleased with these results given that we had the equivalent of approximately 1.2 points of occupancy out of service in the second quarter due to the rooms renovation program at Gaylord Opryland.

We saw strong group performance at Gaylord Texan, which led the brand in occupancy this quarter. This strong group performance was augmented by high-rated leisure business due in part to the debut of the resort’s $5 million pool expansion over Memorial Day weekend. We look forward to breaking ground on the larger Gaylord Texan rooms and meeting space expansion in the third quarter.”

Reed continued, “Our Entertainment segment produced strong, double-digit year-over-year increases in both revenue and Adjusted EBITDA in the second quarter compared to the prior-year quarter, which further demonstrates the increased demand for our one-of-a-kind assets. Our previously-announced Wildhorse Saloon renovation was completed in May, and early feedback from our group customers and leisure guests has been positive.

We continued to make investments in people and resources during the second quarter to help us pursue growth opportunities for this segment, which is reflected in our Adjusted EBITDA margin. In addition to these investments, we recruited a chief operating officer during the quarter, who officially joined the Company in July to oversee our flagship Entertainment assets as we pursue our strategic growth initiatives.”

Dividend Update

The Company paid its second quarter 2016 cash dividend of $0.75 per share of common stock on July 15, 2016 to stockholders of record on June 30, 2016. It is the Company’s current plan to distribute total 2016 annual dividends of approximately $3.00 per share in cash in equal quarterly payments with the remaining payments occurring in October 2016 and January 2017. Any future dividend is subject to the Board of Director’s determinations as to the amount of quarterly distributions and the timing thereof.

Balance Sheet/Liquidity Update

As of June 30, 2016, the Company had total debt outstanding of $1,493.6 million, net of unamortized deferred financing costs, and unrestricted cash of $50.7 million. As of June 30, 2016, $373.9 million of borrowings were drawn under the revolving credit line of the Company’s credit facility, and the lending banks had issued $2.1 million in letters of credit, which left $324.0 million of availability for borrowing under the credit facility.

Guidance

The Company is updating its 2016 guidance provided on February 26, 2016, which was reaffirmed on May 3, 2016, to reflect its expectations for Hospitality RevPAR and Hospitality Total RevPAR for the full year. The following business performance outlook is based on current information as of August 2, 2016. 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, “We remain bullish on the long-term strength of our business and our group-centric model; however, recent short-term economic uncertainty has tempered our in the year for the year revenue expectations for our Hospitality segment. In addition, we experienced a meaningful in the year for the year group cancellation in the second quarter that has affected our RevPAR growth expectations for the remainder of the year. We have since received $1.9 million in cancellation fees associated with this group, which has provided a measure of profitability protection. In addition, we have plans in place at each of our hotels to preserve full-year profitability expectations. As such, while we are revising our Hospitality RevPAR and Hospitality Total RevPAR guidance ranges, our outlook for Adjusted EBITDA remains unchanged. Finally, we are modestly adjusting our estimated shares outstanding to account for share repurchases and employee stock option redemptions that have occurred year to date, as these items were not contemplated in our original guidance.”

Additional Information

This release should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our most recent annual report on Form 10-K. Copies of our reports are available on our website at no expense at www.rymanhp.com and through the SEC’s Electronic Data Gathering Analysis and Retrieval System (“EDGAR”) at www.sec.gov.

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.

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:

To calculate Adjusted EBITDA, we determine EBITDA, which represents net income (loss) determined in accordance with GAAP, plus 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; interest expense; and depreciation and amortization, less interest income. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as EBITDA plus 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); (gains) and losses on warrant settlements; pension settlement charges; pro rata Adjusted EBITDA from joint ventures, 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 reconciliation of net income (loss) to EBITDA 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.” Hospitality Adjusted EBITDA—Same-Store excludes the AC Hotel at National Harbor.

Revised Adjusted FFO Definition

We calculate Adjusted FFO to mean net income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding non-controlling interests, and gains and losses from sales of property; plus depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs and debt discounts) and pro rata adjustments from joint ventures (which equals FFO). We then exclude impairment losses; we also exclude written-off deferred financing costs, non-cash ground lease expense, amortization of debt discounts and amortization of deferred financing cost, pension settlement charges 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 our operating performance 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.”

We caution investors that amounts presented in accordance with our definitions of Adjusted EBITDA 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 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 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) or cash flow from operations. In addition, you should be aware that adverse economic and market and other conditions may harm our cash flow.
