Category: Worldwide - Industry economy - Figures / Studies
This is a press release selected by our editorial committee and published online for free on 2009-11-05


Strategic Hotels & Resorts (NYSE: BEE - News) today reported results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2009.

Third Quarter Recap

* Comparable funds from operations (Comparable FFO) was a loss of $0.07 per diluted share compared with income of $0.29 per diluted share in the prior year.
* Quarterly Comparable EBITDA was $31.2 million compared with $55.8 million in the prior year.
* North American total revenue per available room (Total RevPAR) decreased 21.9 percent and revenue per available room (RevPAR) decreased 22.6 percent driven by a 4.4 percentage point decrease in occupancy and a 17.8 percent decrease in average daily rate (ADR). Non-rooms revenue declined by 20.9 percent.
* European Total RevPAR decreased 20.3 percent (12.6 percent in constant dollars) and RevPAR decreased 18.6 percent (10.5 percent in constant dollars).
* North American gross operating profit (GOP) and EBITDA margins contracted 630 basis points and 680 basis points, respectively.

Chief Executive Officer Laurence Geller remarked, "Although operating performance continues to be impacted by challenges within the hospitality sector, recent macroeconomic trends, including 3.5% GDP growth in the third quarter, are reason for optimism that we are beginning to turn the corner on hotel demand.

"During the quarter we announced the appointment of new independent directors Raymond Gellein, former President of Starwood Hotels & Resorts' Global Development Group, and Eugene Reilly, President of AMB Property Corporation's Americas division. These appointments are in line with our previously announced strategy of strengthening the board composition in this volatile environment. The experience and outstanding credentials of these individuals in hospitality and real estate will enhance our execution strategy going forward."

Added Geller, "In October, we closed on the sale of the Four Seasons Mexico City at an attractive price in a difficult market. This transaction is directly aligned with our strategic asset disposition plan and provides an important source of liquidity to the company. Looking ahead, and in spite of the difficult near-term operating environment, we have confidence in the value and potential of our real estate platform."

Transaction Update

During the quarter, the company entered into a joint venture agreement on its 60-acre ocean front land parcel near the Four Seasons Punta Mita Resort in Nayarit, Mexico with Cantiles de Mita, S.A. de C.V., a wholly owned subsidiary of DINE, the master developer of Punta Mita and original seller of the land parcel. In exchange for an interest in the land, the company was released from its final installment payment of $17.5 million which was due in August 2009 and received a preferred position which entitles the company to receive the first $12.0 million of distributions generated from the project with any excess distributions split equally among the partners.

Subsequent Event

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to REIT hotel income, five other non-GAAP financial measures
are presented for the Company that we believe are useful to management and
investors as key measures of our operating performance: Funds from
Operations (FFO); FFO - Fully Diluted; Comparable FFO; Earnings Before
Interest Expense, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA); and
Comparable EBITDA. A reconciliation of these measures to net loss
attributable to SHR common shareholders, the most directly comparable GAAP
measure, is set forth in the following tables.

We compute FFO in accordance with standards established by the National
Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT, which adopted a
definition of FFO in order to promote an industry-wide standard measure of
REIT operating performance. NAREIT defines FFO as net income (or loss)
(computed in accordance with GAAP) excluding losses or gains from sales of
depreciable property plus real estate-related depreciation and
amortization, and after adjustments for our portion of these items related
to unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. We also present FFO -
Fully Diluted, which is FFO plus income or loss on income attributable to
convertible noncontrolling interests. We also present Comparable FFO,
which is FFO - Fully Diluted excluding the impact of any gains or losses
on early extinguishment of debt, impairment losses, foreign currency
exchange gains or losses and other non-recurring charges. We believe that
the presentation of FFO, FFO - Fully Diluted and Comparable FFO provides
useful information to management and investors regarding our results of
operations because they are measures of our ability to fund capital
expenditures and expand our business. In addition, FFO is widely used in
the real estate industry to measure operating performance without regard
to items such as depreciation and amortization. We also present
Comparable FFO per diluted share as a non-GAAP measure of our performance.
We calculate Comparable FFO per diluted share for a given operating period
as our Comparable FFO (as defined above) divided by the weighted average
of fully diluted shares outstanding. Comparable FFO per diluted share, in
accordance with NAREIT, is adjusted for the effects of dilutive
securities. Dilutive securities may include shares granted under
share-based compensation plans, operating partnership units and
exchangeable debt securities. No effect is shown for securities that are
anti-dilutive.

EBITDA represents net loss attributable to SHR common shareholders
excluding: (i) interest expense, (ii) income taxes, including deferred
income tax benefits and expenses applicable to our foreign subsidiaries
and income taxes applicable to sale of assets; and (iii) depreciation and
amortization. EBITDA also excludes interest expense, income taxes and
depreciation and amortization of our equity method investments. EBITDA is
presented on a full participation basis, which means we have assumed
conversion of all convertible noncontrolling interests of our operating
partnership into our common stock and includes preferred dividends. We
believe this treatment of noncontrolling interests provides more useful
information for management and our investors and appropriately considers
our current capital structure. We also present Comparable EBITDA, which
eliminates the effect of realizing deferred gains on our sale leasebacks,
as well as the effect of gains or losses on sales of assets, early
extinguishment of debt, impairment losses, foreign currency exchange gains
or losses and other non-recurring charges. We believe EBITDA and
Comparable EBITDA are useful to management and investors in evaluating our
operating performance because they provide management and investors with
an indication of our ability to incur and service debt, to satisfy general
operating expenses, to make capital expenditures and to fund other cash
needs or reinvest cash into our business. We also believe they help
management and investors meaningfully evaluate and compare the results of
our operations from period to period by removing the impact of our asset
base (primarily depreciation and amortization) from our operating results.
Our management also uses EBITDA and Comparable EBITDA as measures in
determining the value of acquisitions and dispositions.

We caution investors that amounts presented in accordance with our
definitions of FFO, FFO - Fully Diluted, Comparable FFO, EBITDA, and
Comparable EBITDA may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by
other companies, since not all companies calculate these non-GAAP measures
in the same manner. FFO, FFO - Fully Diluted, Comparable FFO, EBITDA, and
Comparable EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative measure of
our net loss or operating performance. FFO, FFO - Fully Diluted,
Comparable FFO, EBITDA, and Comparable EBITDA 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 FFO, FFO -
Fully Diluted, Comparable FFO, EBITDA, and Comparable EBITDA can enhance
your understanding of our financial condition and results of operations,
these non-GAAP financial measures, when viewed individually, are not
necessarily a better indicator of any trend as compared to comparable GAAP
measures such as net loss attributable to SHR common shareholders. In
addition, you should be aware that adverse economic and market conditions
might negatively impact our cash flow. Below, we have provided a
quantitative reconciliation of FFO, FFO - Fully Diluted, Comparable FFO,
EBITDA, and Comparable EBITDA to the most directly comparable GAAP
financial performance measure, which is net loss attributable to SHR
common shareholders, and provide an explanatory description by footnote of
the items excluded from FFO, FFO - Fully Diluted, and EBITDA.
