February 25, 2020 8:30 AM

NASHVILLE, Tenn., Feb. 25, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- 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, 2019.

Fourth Quarter 2019 Results (as compared to Fourth Quarter 2018):

Full Year 2019 Results (as compared to Full Year 2018):

Colin Reed, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Ryman Hospitality Properties, said, “Our 2019 full year and fourth quarter performances have demonstrated our long-held belief that strategic investments in our people, our culture and our assets, year in and year out, truly do create a sustainable competitive advantage that drives our customer loyalty and encourages groups to rotate through our properties. This strategy amplified our peer-leading performance in 2019 and helped us achieve new records in both revenue and profitability. In addition to the strong consolidated financial performance, we achieved several important operational milestones including the successful full opening of SoundWaves, our indoor/outdoor water attraction at Gaylord Opryland, continued strong results from our expansion at Gaylord Texan, and the completion of Gaylord Rockies’ first full year of operation, where bookings activity has been so robust that we recently announced our intention to move forward with a 317-room, $80 million expansion. Our bookings strength wasn’t limited to just Gaylord Rockies, though, and I am pleased to report that the Same-Store hotels now have a record high of more than 6.8 million net room nights on the books for all future years.

Not to be outdone, our fast-growing Entertainment segment completed its best year ever, driven by our Nashville-based entertainment assets, and the continued growth and success of our Ole Red brand. Like our hospitality assets, we continue to invest in and expand our opportunities for this segment by taking steps like creating Circle Media, our joint-venture partnership with Gray Television, which launched the Circle TV network on January 1st, and by investing in our Ole Red brand, with our latest location set to open in Orlando in the second quarter of 2020. Finally, we closed out 2019 by announcing an agreement to acquire Block 21, a mixed-use live entertainment complex located in Austin, Texas, and home to Austin City Limits (ACL Live), which offers a nice complement to our existing portfolio of music-themed entertainment brands. Altogether, we made great progress in laying the groundwork for further growth in our Entertainment business in the coming years.”

Commenting on the most recently opened hotel property, Reed continued, “Gaylord Rockies closed out a strong first full year of operation. The property has helped the Gaylord Hotels brand reach new customers primarily in the western US and has provided existing customers with a new geographic experience. The early bookings performance at Gaylord Rockies has been very strong and has generated so much interest and such a positive response from group and transient customers alike that we made the decision to move forward with a rooms expansion just one year into the resort’s history. Construction is set to begin in the second quarter of 2020 and is expected to be complete by early 2022. We believe this property has a vibrant future ahead of it and are excited about the years to come.”

Reed continued, “Driven by the sustained success of our core Nashville-based attractions and our growing Ole Red brand, our Entertainment segment completed a record-setting 2019 with a strong fourth quarter. Leveraging our unique country music assets, we took important steps in 2019 to expand our market opportunities and to more effectively reach the 129 million country music lifestyle consumers in the United States through our continued investment in Ole Red, Circle Media and our plans to acquire Block 21 in Austin, Texas, including ACL Live at the Moody Theater. Circle Media’s linear channel is currently available in markets reaching approximately 65% of households in the United States, and we plan to supplement the current offering with a companion over-the-top (OTT) channel to be available by the middle of 2020. These investments, along with continued upgrades to our core Nashville-based attractions have set the stage for additional upside in the years to come.”

(1) Includes fully consolidated results from Gaylord Rockies. The Company owns 62.1% and is the managing member of the joint venture that owns Gaylord Rockies. Also includes approximately 34,000 room nights out of service in 2020 due to the renovation of rooms at Gaylord National. The out of service rooms are included in total available room count for calculating hotel metrics (e.g., RevPAR and Total RevPAR).(2) Includes impact of the planned Block 21 acquisition and Circle Media. The Block 21 acquisition is subject to closing conditions, including the consent of its lender. Whether this consent will be obtained, and the timing of any closing are uncertain. We assumed a closing date for the Block 21 acquisition of April 1, 2020 for purposes of the guidance. The Block 21 results are preliminary estimates based on available information and includes an adjusted EBITDAre range from $10 million to $12 million for three quarters of 2020. Our estimates are subject to change after the Block 21 closing. Further, we estimate investing, and incurring pro-rata losses of, $9 million to $11 million in Circle Media for 2020, which is reflected in our consolidated net income and entertainment segment adjusted EBITDAre guidance for 2020.(3) Excludes ownership of Gaylord Rockies joint venture not controlled or owned by the Company.

Reed concluded, “Our momentum continues to increase as we enter 2020, and I couldn’t be more excited for the future of the Company. Since we first outlined what 2020 could look like at our 2016 investor and analyst day, we’ve indicated this year would be a powerful one for us. The work to get here has been substantial, and along the way we have set record after record, but it’s amazing to note all of the new growth opportunities we still have in front of us. We remain confident in our ability to capitalize on the strength of the group market, our competitive position, and the anticipated benefit of our recent capital reinvestments at Gaylord Texan and those underway at Gaylord Palms and Gaylord Rockies. With the multitude of opportunities across our hospitality business and the growth plans on the Entertainment side of our business, we believe the future looks promising for our Company.”

Dividend Update

The Company paid its fourth quarter 2019 cash dividend of $0.90 per share of common stock on January 15, 2020 to stockholders of record on December 31, 2019. Including the fourth quarter cash dividend payment, the Company paid a total of $3.60 per share of dividends to its common shareholders for the full year 2019.

Today, the Company declared its first quarter cash dividend of $0.95 per share of common stock, a quarterly increase of $0.05, payable on April 15, 2020 to stockholders of record on March 31, 2020. It is the Company’s current plan to distribute total 2020 annual dividends of approximately $3.80 per share in cash in equal quarterly payments in April, July, and October of 2020 and in January of 2021, which is a 5.6% increase over the full year 2019 dividend of $3.60. Future dividends are subject to the Board’s future determinations as to amount and timing.

Balance Sheet/Liquidity Update

At December 31, 2019, the Company had total consolidated debt outstanding of $2,560.0 million (net of unamortized deferred financing costs) and unrestricted cash of $362.4 million. Total cash on the balance sheet includes proceeds from the Company’s successful underwritten public offering of 3.45 million shares of common stock in December 2019, which resulted in total net proceeds to the Company of $283 million, inclusive of the full exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares, at a price to the public of $85.60 per share. The public offering was initiated following the Company’s announcement of an agreement to acquire Block 21 from Stratus Properties Inc. for a total consideration of $275 million, including the assumption of approximately $141 million of existing mortgage debt, with the balance payable in cash. The Company currently anticipates closing this transaction at the end of the first quarter of 2020 or early in the second quarter of 2020. As of December 31, 2019, the Company’s revolving credit line had no outstanding balance, and the lending banks had issued $0.9 million in letters of credit, which left $699.1 million of availability for borrowing under the revolving credit facility.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking StatementsThis press release contains statements as to the Company’s beliefs and expectations of the outcome of future events that are forward-looking statements as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. You can identify these statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. Examples of these statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the future performance of our business, estimated capital expenditures, new projects or investments, out-of-service rooms, the expected approach to making dividend payments, the board’s ability to alter the dividend policy at any time and other business or operational issues. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from the statements made. These include the risks and uncertainties associated with economic conditions affecting the hospitality business generally, the geographic concentration of the Company’s hotel properties, business levels at the Company’s hotels, the Company’s ability to remain qualified as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, the Company’s ability to execute its strategic goals as a REIT, the Company’s ability to generate cash flows to support dividends, future board determinations regarding the timing and amount of dividends and changes to the dividend policy, which could be made at any time, the determination of Adjusted FFO available to common shareholders and REIT taxable income, the Company’s ability to borrow funds pursuant to its credit agreement, and the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance that could delay the closing of the acquisition of Block 21, or the termination of the transaction agreement for the acquisition of Block 21. A widespread outbreak of coronavirus in the United States could adversely affect our business results and guidance. Other factors that could cause operating and financial results to differ are described in the filings made from time to time by the Company with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and include the risk factors and other risks and uncertainties described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018 and its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and subsequent filings. The Company does not undertake any obligation to release publicly any revisions to forward-looking statements made by it to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date hereof or the occurrence of unanticipated events.

Additional InformationThis 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 RevPARWe 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. Rooms out of service for renovation are included in room nights available. Same-Store Hospitality RevPAR and Same-Store Hospitality Total RevPAR do not include the Gaylord Rockies.

Calculation of GAAP Margin FiguresWe calculate Net Income available to common shareholders margin by dividing GAAP consolidated Net Income available to common shareholders 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. Same-Store Operating Income margin does not include the Gaylord Rockies.

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

Adjusted EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre, Excluding Noncontrolling Interest DefinitionWe calculate EBITDAre, which is defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) in its September 2017 white paper as net income (calculated in accordance with GAAP) plus interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, gains or losses on the disposition of depreciated property (including gains or losses on change in control), impairment write-downs of depreciated property and of investments in unconsolidated affiliates caused by a decrease in the value of depreciated property or the affiliate, and adjustments to reflect the entity’s share of EBITDAre of unconsolidated affiliates. Adjusted EBITDAre is then calculated as EBITDAre, plus to the extent the following adjustments occurred during the periods presented: preopening costs; non-cash ground lease expense; equity-based compensation expense; impairment charges that do not meet the NAREIT definition above; any transaction costs of acquisitions; interest income on bonds; pension settlement charges; pro rata Adjusted EBITDAre from unconsolidated joint ventures, (gains) losses on extinguishment of debt, and any other adjustments we have identified in this release. We then exclude noncontrolling interests in consolidated joint ventures to calculate Adjusted EBITDAre, Excluding Noncontrolling Interest. We make additional adjustments to EBITDAre when evaluating our performance because we believe that presenting Adjusted EBITDAre, Excluding Noncontrolling Interest and adjustments for certain additional items provide useful information to investors regarding our operating performance and debt leverage metrics, and that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre, Excluding Noncontrolling Interest, when combined with the primary GAAP presentation of net income, is beneficial to an investor’s complete understanding of our operating performance. Same-Store Hospitality Adjusted EBITDAre does not include Gaylord Rockies.

Adjusted EBITDAre, Excluding Noncontrolling Interest Margin DefinitionWe calculate consolidated Adjusted EBITDAre, Excluding Noncontrolling Interest Margin by dividing consolidated Adjusted EBITDAre, Excluding Noncontrolling Interest by GAAP consolidated Total Revenue. We calculate consolidated, segment or property-level Adjusted EBITDAre Margin by dividing consolidated, segment-, or property-level Adjusted EBITDAre by consolidated, segment-, or property-level GAAP Revenue. We believe Adjusted EBITDAre, Excluding Noncontrolling Interest 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 EBITDAre, Excluding Noncontrolling Interest and GAAP consolidated Total Revenue or segment or property-level GAAP Revenue, as applicable. Same-Store Adjusted EBITDAre does not include Gaylord Rockies.

Adjusted FFO available to common shareholders DefinitionWe calculate FFO, which definition is clarified by NAREIT in its December 2018 white paper as net income (calculated in accordance with GAAP) excluding depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs and debt discounts), gains and losses from the sale of certain real estate assets, gains and losses from a change in control, impairment write-downs of certain real estate assets and investments in entities when the impairment is directly attributable to decreases in the value of depreciated real estate held by the entity, income (loss) from consolidated joint ventures attributable to noncontrolling interest, and pro rata adjustments for unconsolidated joint ventures. The clarifications did not change our calculation of FFO available to common shareholders and Adjusted FFO available to common shareholders for any historical period. To calculate Adjusted FFO available to common shareholders, we then exclude, to the extent the following adjustments occurred during the periods presented, impairment charges that do not meet the NAREIT definition above; write-offs of deferred financing costs, non-cash ground lease expense, right-of-use asset amortization, amortization of debt discounts or premiums and amortization of deferred financing costs, pension settlement charges, additional pro rata adjustments from joint ventures, (gains) losses on other assets, transaction costs on acquisitions, deferred income tax expense (benefit), and (gains) losses on extinguishment of debt. FFO available to common shareholders and Adjusted FFO available to common shareholders exclude the ownership portion of Gaylord Rockies joint venture not controlled or owned by the Company.

We believe that the presentation of FFO available to common shareholders and Adjusted FFO available to common shareholders provide 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 FFO available to common shareholders and Adjusted FFO available to common shareholders as measures in determining our results after taking into account the impact of our capital structure. A reconciliation of Net Income (loss) to FFO available to common shareholders and a reconciliation of Net Income (loss) to Adjusted FFO available to common shareholders are set forth below under “Supplemental Financial Results.”

We caution investors that amounts presented in accordance with our definitions of Adjusted EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDAre, Excluding Noncontrolling Interest, Adjusted EBITDAre, Excluding Noncontrolling Interest Margin, and Adjusted FFO available to common shareholders 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 EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDAre, Excluding Noncontrolling Interest, Adjusted EBITDAre, Excluding Noncontrolling Interest 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 EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDAre, Excluding Noncontrolling Interest, and Adjusted FFO available to common shareholders 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 EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDAre, Excluding Noncontrolling Interest, Adjusted EBITDAre, Excluding Noncontrolling Interest Margin, and Adjusted FFO available to common shareholders 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.
