Hersha Hospitality Trust (NYSE: HT) owner of nationally franchised
premium select service and full service hotels, today announced
earnings for the second quarter ended June 30, 2008. Financial
Highlights for the Second Quarter 2008 Growth in hotel revenues
along with increased income from development loans resulted in
improved net income applicable to common shareholders. For the
second quarter of 2008, net income applicable to common
shareholders grew 6.1% to $7.0 million from $6.6 million in the
second quarter of 2007. Net income applicable to common
shareholders of $0.16 per weighted average common share outstanding
in the second quarter of 2008 was comparable to the second quarter
of 2007 due to an increase in common shares outstanding during the
quarter, the proceeds of which were utilized to reduce the
Company�s line of credit, initiate development loans and to acquire
three new hotels. Operating income for the second quarter ended
June 30, 2008 grew 7.4% to $18.8 million from $17.5 million for the
same period in 2007. The growth in operating income was a result of
improved operating margins from rate-led hotel revenue growth,
continued stabilization of several new hotels and accretive asset
acquisitions. Adjusted funds from operations (AFFO) for the second
quarter of 2008 increased 2.4% to $0.43 per diluted common share
and unit from $0.42 per diluted common share and unit for the same
quarter of 2007. Growth in the Company�s hotel portfolio and
performance of its assets helped to offset the impact of increased
shares outstanding in the second quarter of 2008 relative to the
second quarter of 2007. A reconciliation of AFFO to net income
applicable to common shares, the most directly applicable U.S. GAAP
measure, is included at the end of this release. Mr. Jay H. Shah,
Chief Executive Officer, commented, �We are pleased to have
produced another excellent quarter of earnings and to have
maintained top-tier operating margins. Our East Coast urban focused
hotels performed solidly, led by 14% same-store RevPAR growth from
our metro-New York City hotels. The managers of these properties
were able to leverage the strategic locations and low effective age
of these properties into increased Hotel EBITDA. We believe that
possessing a young portfolio, located in high barrier-to-entry
markets, is a winning strategy, regardless of the market
conditions, given the growth potential these assets can provide in
the coming years. To this end, we purchased three additional newly
opened hotels during the quarter and one subsequent to the close of
the quarter. The median age of our portfolio of hotels is below six
years and we believe that this will continue to enhance our growth
prospects going forward.� For the three-month period ended June 30,
2008, consolidated total hotel operating revenues increased 9.4% to
$67.4 million from $61.6 million in the second quarter of 2007.
This increase was primarily driven by our growth in same-store room
revenues and revenue contributions from acquisitions completed in
prior periods. Revenue per available room (RevPAR) for the
Company�s consolidated hotels (59 hotels) increased 4.3% on a
year-over-year basis to $109.73, which was driven entirely by an
average daily rate (ADR) increase of 6.1% to $139.56. During the
quarter, the Company�s hotel managers chose to aggressively
maintain rate levels in order to optimize operating margins,
resulting in a decline in occupancy, which fell to 78.63% from
79.99%. Hotel earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and
amortization (Hotel EBITDA) for Hersha�s consolidated hotels grew
9.8% to $27.6 million for the second quarter of 2008 compared to
the second quarter of 2007. Hotel EBITDA margins of 41.0% for the
second quarter of 2008 increased 14 basis points compared to the
prior year level. The Company�s portfolio of Hyatt Summerfield
Suites experienced margin deterioration due to increased Hyatt
brand initiatives and guest reward program expenses. These
initiatives, which were implemented in the third quarter of 2007,
negatively impacted the Company�s EBITDA margins during the second
quarter of 2008. Excluding the Company�s portfolio of Hyatt
Summerfield Suites, Hotel EBITDA margins for the consolidated
hotels increased 100 basis points. On a same-store basis for
Hersha�s consolidated hotels (53 hotels), RevPAR for the second
quarter of 2008 increased 4.0% on a year-over-year basis to
$109.16, which was driven by a 5.1% increase in ADR to $137.92.
Occupancy fell to 79.15% from 80.02%. Same-store Hotel EBITDA for
the second quarter of 2008 increased 3.6% to $25.8 million from
$24.9 million. The Company�s same-store Hotel EBITDA margin
declined 8 basis points to 40.6% for the second quarter of 2008, as
compared to the second quarter of 2007 for the reasons discussed
above. Excluding the Hyatt Summerfield Suites portfolio, Hotel
EBITDA margins increased 97 basis points. Other Highlights In May
and June, the Company purchased three newly opened hotels, the
107-suite Towne Place Suites, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, the
150-room Sheraton Hotel, JFK Airport and the 127-room Holiday Inn
Express, Camp Springs (Andrews Air Force Base), Maryland, in
separate transactions, for a total of $61.8 million. In July,
Hersha opened the nu Hotel in Brooklyn, New York, a 93-room
independent boutique hotel newly developed by the Company. The nu
Hotel Brooklyn and the Duane Street Hotel (Tribeca) serve as the
foundation of Hersha's collection of independent hotels operating
in the vibrant metro-New York City market. In August, subsequent to
the close of the quarter, the Company purchased a brand new
101-room Hampton Inn, located in Smithfield, Rhode Island for $12.6
million. Balance Sheet The Company ended the second quarter of 2008
with approximately $72.7 million in development loans and
approximately $23.4 million in land leases outstanding to 13 hotel
development projects. At June 30, 2008, Hersha Hospitality Trust
had approximately $721.0 million of total consolidated debt
outstanding, which included approximately $51.5 million of trust
preferred securities and approximately $47.6 million outstanding on
the Company�s line of credit. Fixed rate debt, including variable
rate debt fixed by an interest rate swap, amounted to approximately
87.8% of total consolidated debt. For the second quarter of 2008,
the weighted average interest rate on all of the Company�s fixed
and floating rate debt was approximately 6.13% and 4.83%,
respectively. The weighted average life to maturity of the
Company�s debt, excluding the credit line, was approximately 8.0
years. Total common shares and units of limited partnership
interest of Hersha Hospitality Limited Partnership outstanding at
June 30, 2008 were approximately 48.1 million and 8.9 million,
respectively. Dividend For the second quarter of 2008, Hersha
Hospitality Trust declared common share and limited partnership
unit dividends of $0.18 per common share and unit. The Board of
Trustees also declared a second quarter cash dividend of $0.50 per
Series A Preferred Share. Hersha�s forecasted AFFO for the full
year ended December 31, 2008, less maintenance capital
expenditures, is expected to exceed its annualized dividend of
$0.72 per common share by 1.7 times, providing both coverage for
its current dividend and internally generated funds for investment.
Financial Outlook for 2008 The Company is revising its previous
financial outlook for the full year ended December 31, 2008, as
compared to the full year ended December 31, 2007, as a downturn in
economic conditions in the U.S., reduced travel capacity from
airlines, low consumer confidence and corporate profits have given
rise to expectations of lower demand for lodging services from
business and leisure travelers in the second half of 2008. The
Company�s updated financial guidance and underlying assumptions for
the full year ended December 31, 2008 are as follows: � � Prior
Guidance � Updated Guidance Consolidated same-store RevPAR growth
compared to the full year 2007 � 5.0% to 6.0% � 4.0% to 5.0%
Consolidated portfolio RevPAR growth compared to the full year 2007
� 6.0% to 7.0% � 5.0% to 6.0% Net income available to common
shareholders � $12.25 to $13.75 million � $13.0 to $14.5 million
Adjusted EBITDA � $121.4 to $123.8 million � $124.5 to $126.5
million AFFO per diluted weighted average share/unit � $1.30 to
$1.33 � $1.26 to $1.30 �We expect our RevPAR growth for the second
half of 2008 to slow in comparison to the strong results we posted
in the first half of 2008 and the second half of 2007, but we still
believe that our portfolio is well positioned to weather the
downturn better than the industry at large. Our net income and
EBITDA are expected to be positively impacted by the acquisitions
we have completed this year. However, this growth is expected to be
offset by the shares and units issued during the second quarter of
2008. Our revised guidance still represents a range of growth in
AFFO per share of approximately 4 to 7% for the full year 2008 as
compared to 2007, which should further support our strong cash
dividend and provide meaningful value to our investors,� Mr. Shah
added. Second Quarter 2008 Earnings Conference Call The Company

40,642,569 42,572,390 40,590,499 FFO and GAAP Reconciliation The
National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (�NAREIT�)
developed Funds from Operations (�FFO�) as a non-GAAP financial
measure of performance of an equity REIT in order to recognize that
income-producing real estate historically has not depreciated on
the basis determined under GAAP. We calculate FFO applicable to
common shares and Partnership units in accordance with the April
2002 National Policy Bulletin of NAREIT, which we refer to as the
White Paper. The White Paper defines FFO as net income (loss)
(computed in accordance with GAAP) excluding extraordinary items as
defined under GAAP and gains or losses from sales of previously
depreciated assets, plus certain non-cash items, such as
depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for
unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Our interpretation
of the NAREIT definition is that minority interest in net income
(loss) should be added back to (deducted from) net income (loss) as
part of reconciling net income (loss) to FFO. Our FFO computation
may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs that do not
compute FFO in accordance with the NAREIT definition, or that
interpret the NAREIT definition differently than we do. The GAAP
measure that we believe to be most directly comparable to FFO, net
income (loss) applicable to common shares, includes depreciation
and amortization expenses, gains or losses on property sales and
minority interest. In computing FFO, we eliminate these items
because, in our view, they are not indicative of the results from
our property operations. Hersha also presents Adjusted Funds from
Operations (AFFO), which reflects FFO in accordance with the NAREIT
definition further adjusted by: adding back write-offs of deferred
financing costs on debt extinguishment, both for consolidated and
unconsolidated properties; adding back amortization of deferred
financing costs; making adjustments for the amortization of
original issue discount/premium; adding back non-cash stock
expense; adding back FFO attributed to our partners in consolidated
joint ventures; and making adjustments to ground lease payments,
which are required by GAAP to be amortized on a straight-line basis
over the term of the lease, to reflect the actual lease payment.
FFO and AFFO do not represent cash flows from operating activities
in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered an alternative
to net income as an indication of Hersha�s performance or to cash
flow as a measure of liquidity or ability to make distributions. We
consider FFO and AFFO to be meaningful, additional measures of our
operating performance because they exclude the effects of the
assumption that the value of real estate assets diminishes
predictably over time, and because they are widely used by industry
analysts as performance measures. We show both FFO from
consolidated hotel operations and FFO from unconsolidated joint
ventures because we believe it is meaningful for the investor to
understand the relative contributions from our consolidated and
unconsolidated hotels. The display of both FFO from consolidated
hotels and FFO from unconsolidated joint ventures allows for a
detailed analysis of the operating performance of our hotel
portfolio by management and investors. We present FFO and AFFO
applicable to common shares and Partnership units because our
Partnership units are redeemable for common shares. We believe it
is meaningful for the investor to understand FFO applicable to all
common shares and Partnership units. The following table reconciles
FFO and AFFO for the periods presented to the most directly
comparable GAAP measure, net income (loss) applicable to common
shares, for the same periods: HERSHA HOSPITALITY TRUST Adjusted

Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, and Depreciation and Amortization
(EBITDA) and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measure within
the meaning of the Securities and Exchange Commission rules. Our
interpretation of Adjusted EBITDA is that EBITDA derived from our
investment in unconsolidated joint ventures should be added back to
net income (loss) as part of reconciling net income (loss) to
Adjusted EBITDA. Our Adjusted EBITDA computation August not be
comparable to EBITDA reported by other companies that interpret the
definition of EBITDA differently than we do. Management believes
EBITDA to be a meaningful measure of a REIT's performance because
it is widely followed by industry analysts, lenders and investors
and that it should be considered along with, but not as an
alternative to, net income, cash flow, FFO and AFFO, as a measure
of the company's operating performance. Hotel EBITDA is a commonly
used measure of performance in the hotel industry for a specific
hotel or group of hotels. We believe Hotel EBITDA provides a more
complete understanding of the operating results of the individual
hotel or group of hotels. We calculate Hotel EBITDA by utilizing
the total revenues generated from hotel operations less all
operating expenses, property taxes, insurance and management fees,
which calculation excludes Company expenses not specific to a
hotel. Because Hotel EBITDA is specific to individual hotels or
groups of hotels and not to the Company as a whole, it is not
reconcilable to any comparable GAAP measure for the Company. HERSHA
