Morgans Hotel Group Co. (Nasdaq: MHGC) ("MHG" or the "Company") today reported financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2010.
Adjusted EBITDAfor the second quarter was $14.0 million, a $2.3 million or 19.7% increase from the second quarter of 2009. On a comparable basis, Adjusted EBITDA increased by 25%.
Revenue per available room ("RevPAR") for System-Wide Comparable Hotels increased by 13.3%, or 14.0% in constant dollars, in the second quarter of 2010 from the comparable period in 2009 led by a 23.1% increase at MHG's New York hotels.
The RevPAR increase at System-Wide Comparable Hotels was due to a 9.2% increase in occupancy and a 3.8% (4.4% in constant dollars) increase in average daily rate ("ADR").
Management fees increased by $1.2 million, or 32.1%, in the second quarter of 2010 over the comparable period in 2009.
Gross operating profit margins at Owned Comparable Hotels increased by 310 basis points in the second quarter of 2010 over the comparable period in 2009. The percentage increase in EBITDA was 2.3 times the percentage RevPAR increase at System-Wide Comparable Hotels.
On July 15, 2010, MHG's London joint venture that owns Sanderson and St Martins Lane successfully refinanced in full the 100 million pounds Sterling mortgage debt secured by the hotels with a new loan maturing in July 2015 at an interest rate reduced by approximately 100 basis points.
On July 31, 2010, the MHG joint venture that is developing a Mondrian in SoHo procured additional funding to complete development of the hotel and successfully extended the maturity of the debt financing secured by the hotel property for up to five years through extension options, subject to certain conditions.
Fred Kleisner, CEO of Morgans Hotel Group, said: "We delivered strong results for the second quarter, outperforming industry growth averages across all key performance metrics, demonstrating once again that Morgans is well positioned to come back faster and stronger than the industry as the economy improves. RevPAR was up 13% for the quarter, more than doubling the industry average, driven by rising occupancies as well as a significant improvement in ADR, which showed positive growth for the first time since 2008. We also continued to make excellent progress in strengthening our balance sheet, as illustrated most recently by the London and Mondrian in SoHo loan extensions. As we move into the second half of the year, we are confident in the prospects of our key markets and we remain focused on driving increased long-term value for our shareholders."
Second Quarter 2010 Operating Results
RevPAR at System-Wide Comparable Hotels increased by 13.3% (14.0% in constant dollars) in the second quarter of 2010 compared to the second quarter of 2009 due to a strong recovery in corporate travel. Occupancy increased by 9.2% and ADR increased by 3.8% (4.4% in constant dollars) compared to the same period in 2009. This is the first quarter MHG has experienced an increase in ADR since the second quarter of 2008.
In New York, our flagship market, RevPAR increased by 23.1%. Occupancy was 94% compared to 87% in the second quarter of 2009. As a result of this high occupancy level, we were able to drive a 14.1% increase in ADR which accounted for over 60% of the RevPAR increase. RevPAR increased by 18.0% in constant dollars at our London hotels, driven by a 9.9% increase in ADR. Mondrian Los Angeles generated a 9.8% RevPAR increase with occupancy up six percentage points. RevPAR at our Miami hotels was relatively flat, increasing by 0.3%.
Management fees increased by $1.2 million, or 32.1%, in the second quarter of 2010 over the comparable period in 2009, primarily due to the Hard Rock expansion in 2009 which resulted in 865 new rooms and additional restaurant, bar and banquet space. In addition, in the fourth quarter of 2009, we opened Ames in Boston and began managing two additional hotels - The San Juan Water and Beach Club in Puerto Rico and Hotel Las Palapas in Playa del Carmen, Mexico.
Adjusted EBITDAfor the second quarter of 2010 was $14.0 million, a $2.3 million or 19.7% increase from the second quarter of 2009. This reflects a lower ownership percentage at Hard Rock in the second quarter of 2010. Had the ownership percentage been constant, the percentage increase in Adjusted EBITDA would have been 25%.
MHG recorded a net loss of $21.1 million in the second quarter of 2010 compared to a loss of $10.1 million in the second quarter of 2009 due to a non-cash, pre-tax, impairment charge of $8.3 million related to Mondrian SoHo in 2010, and a $7.0 million tax benefit recorded in the second quarter of 2009 for which there was no comparable tax benefit recorded in 2010.
Balance Sheet and Liquidity
As of June 30, 2010, MHG had $134.4 million of liquidity comprised of $37.7 million of cash and cash equivalents and approximately $96.7 million, net of outstanding borrowings and letters of credit, available under its line of credit. Consolidated debt, excluding the Clift lease obligation, was $616.9 million.
On July 9, 2010, MHG entered into forbearance agreements with the lenders which hold the $217.0 and $120.5 first mortgage loans secured by its Hudson and Mondrian Los Angeles hotels, respectively. The forbearance agreements effectively extend the maturities of the loans until September 12, 2010 allowing MHG and the lenders additional time to complete the negotiation and documentation of the appropriate amendments to further extend the loans. The first mortgage loans were scheduled to mature on July 12, 2010 with options to extend the maturities to October 2011 provided that certain conditions were met. In October 2009, the Company entered into a forbearance agreement with the holder of the $26.5 million Hudson mezzanine loan that it believes effectively extended the maturity of that loan to 2013.
On July 15, 2010, MHG's London joint venture that owns Sanderson and St Martins Lane, successfully refinanced in full the mortgage debt secured by the hotels with a new loan maturing in July 2015. The previous loan was scheduled to mature in November 2010. The new financing, provided by Aareal Bank, is a 100 million pounds Sterling loan that is non-recourse to MHG and is secured by the two London hotels. The joint venture also entered into a swap agreement that effectively fixes the interest rate at 5.22% for the term of the loan, a reduction in interest rate of approximately 100 basis points.
As of June 30, 2010, MHG estimates that its total future capital commitments for development projects and joint ventures for the next 12 months are approximately $5.0 million, which includes approximately $3.2 million to fund the completion of Mondrian in SoHo. MHG intends to utilize its tax net operating losses of approximately $180 million to offset future income, including potential gains on the sale of assets or interests therein.
Development Activity
MHG continues to focus on enhancing its existing assets and is re-concepting several food and beverage venues to improve profitability. In May 2010, MHG opened a new restaurant at Hudson, Hudson Hall, and in July 2010, MHG closed the restaurant at Royalton for a renovation and concept change. It is expected that Royalton's new restaurant and expanded bar will open in September 2010, for New York's Fashion Week.
On July 31, 2010, MHG's joint venture that is developing a Mondrian in SoHo procured additional funding to complete development of the hotel. The parties amended the debt financing on the property, among other things, to provide for extensions of the maturity date of the mortgage loan secured by the hotel for up to five years through extension options, subject to certain conditions. In addition to new funds being provided by the lender, MHG's financial and developer partner in the joint venture, Cape Advisors, is making cash and other contributions to the joint venture, and MHG will provide up to $3.2 million of additional funds to complete the project. MHG's contribution will be treated as a loan with priority over the equity. Mondrian in SoHo is expected to open in January 2011 with a restaurant, bar, and other facilities. MHG has a 10-year management contract with two 10-year extension options to operate the hotel upon completion.
2010 Outlook
It continues to be very difficult to predict what will happen for the remainder of the year given the short term booking patterns and transient nature of the hotel business in addition to a still uncertain economic environment. That said, MHG is providing the following framework for its results:
First, given its built-in growth from new hotels and hotel expansions, if RevPAR increases by 8%-10% in 2010 compared to 2009, MHG would expect Adjusted EBITDA to be in the $53 million to $55 million range, assuming no further changes in ownership percentage interests in our hotels.
Second, while the pace of recovery has been faster and stronger than anticipated to date, MHG still does not have the visibility to be comfortable forecasting how this will progress during the remainder of the year. However, as a framework based on the Company's existing portfolio, MHG estimates that each incremental percentage point change in RevPAR would result in a change in Adjusted EBITDA of $1.0 million to $1.5 million.

(1) Not included in the above table are the San Juan Water and Beach
Club and Hotel Las Palapas, which we began operating in the fourth
quarter of 2009. We anticipate that both hotels will be re-
developed in
the future into Morgans Hotel Group branded hotels, once funding is
available to the hotel owners. As the hotels are currently not
branded hotels, we believe that including hotel operating data for
these hotels
with hotel operating data for our Morgans Hotel Group branded hotels
would not provide a meaningful view of the performance of our
portfolio of branded hotels. Also not included are discontinued
operations.
(2) As customary in the gaming industry, we present average
occupancy and average daily rate for the Hard Rock including rooms
provided on a complimentary basis which is not the practice in the
lodging industry
(3) Ames opened in November 2009. Statistics are for the period the
hotel was open.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
We believe that earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) is a useful financial metric to assess our operating performance before the impact of investing and financing transactions and income taxes. It also facilitates comparison between us and our competitors. Given the significant investments that we have made in the past in property and equipment, depreciation and amortization expense comprises a meaningful portion of our cost structure. We believe that EBITDA will provide investors with a useful tool for assessing the comparability between periods because it eliminates depreciation and amortization expense attributable to capital expenditures.
The Company's management has historically used adjusted EBITDA (Adjusted EBITDA) when evaluating the operating performance for the entire Company as well as for individual properties or groups of properties because we believe the Company's core business model is that of an owner and operator of hotels, and the inclusion or exclusion of certain recurring and non-recurring items is necessary to provide the most accurate measure of on-going core operating results and to evaluate comparative results period over period. As such, Adjusted EBITDA excludes other non-operating expenses (income) that do not relate to the on-going performance of our assets and excludes the operating performance of assets in which we do not have a direct or indirect fee simple ownership interest. We exclude the following items from EBITDA to arrive at Adjusted EBITDA:
Other non-operating expenses (income), such as executive terminations not related to restructuring initiatives discussed below, costs of financings and litigation and settlement costs and other items that relate to the financing and investing activities of our assets and not to the on-going operating performance of our assets, both consolidated and unconsolidated, and changes in fair market value of the warrants issued to investors in the Company;
Restructuring, development and disposal costs: these charges primarily relate to losses on asset disposals as part of major renovation projects and the write-off of abandoned development projects resulting primarily from events generally outside management's control such as the tightening of credit markets. We reasonably believe that a substantial portion of these items will not recur in future years and that these charges do not relate to the ongoing operating performance of our assets as measured by Adjusted EBITDA.
Impairment loss on development projects, hotels and investments in joint ventures: these charges do not relate to the ongoing operating performance of our assets as measured by Adjusted EBITDA. To the extent that economic conditions do not continue to improve, we may incur additional non-cash impairment charges related to assets under development, wholly-owned assets, or investments in joint ventures. We believe these adjustments are necessary to provide the most accurate measure of core operating results as a means to evaluate comparative results.
The EBITDA related to leased hotels to more accurately reflect the operating performance of assets in which we have a direct or indirect fee simple ownership interest;
The EBITDA related to hotels classified as "hotels held for non-sale disposition" or "discontinued operations" to more accurately reflect the operating performance of assets in which we expect to have an ongoing direct or indirect fee simple ownership interest; and
Stock-based compensation expense recognized, as this is not necessarily an indication of the operating performance of our assets.
We believe Adjusted EBITDA provides management and our investors with a more accurate financial metric by which to evaluate our performance as it eliminates the impact of costs incurred related to investing and financing transactions. Internally, the Company's management utilizes Adjusted EBITDA to measure the performance of our core on-going hotel operations and is used extensively during our annual budgeting process. Management also uses Adjusted EBITDA as a measure in determining the value of acquisitions, expansion opportunities, and dispositions and borrowing capacity. Adjusted EBITDA is a key metric which management evaluates prior to execution of any strategic investing or financing opportunity.
The Company has historically reported Adjusted EBITDA to its investors and believes that this continued inclusion of Adjusted EBITDA provides consistency in its financial reporting and enables investors to perform more meaningful comparisons of past, present and future operating results and to evaluate the results of its core on-going operations.
The use of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA has certain limitations. Our presentation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may be different from the presentation used by other companies and therefore comparability may be limited. Depreciation expense for various long-term assets, interest expense, income taxes and other items have been and will be incurred and are not reflected in the presentation of EBITDA or Adjusted EBITDA. Each of these items should also be considered in the overall evaluation of our results. Additionally, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect capital expenditures and other investing activities and should not be considered as a measure of our liquidity. We compensate for these limitations by providing the relevant disclosure of our depreciation, interest and income tax expense, capital expenditures and other items both in our reconciliations to our GAAP financial measures and in our consolidated financial statements, all of which should be considered when evaluating our performance. The term EBITDA is not defined under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or U.S. GAAP, and EBITDA is not a measure of net income, operating income, operating performance or liquidity presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In addition, EBITDA is impacted by reorganization of businesses and other restructuring-related charges. When assessing our operating performance, you should not consider this data in isolation, or as a substitute for our net income, operating income or any other operating performance measure that is calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In addition, our EBITDA may not be comparable to EBITDA or similarly titled measures utilized by other companies since such other companies may not calculate EBITDA in the same manner as we do.
A reconciliation of net income (loss), the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures, to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for each of the respective periods indicated is as follows:
