Adjusted EBITDA, FFO per diluted share and comparable hotel adjusted operating profit margins (discussed below) are non-GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) financial measures within the meaning of the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). See the discussion included in this press release for information regarding these non-GAAP financial measures. Operating Results The Company presents RevPAR for its comparable hotels plus the Starwood portfolio acquired in April of 2006 due to the significant contribution of these hotels to the Company's operations. RevPAR for the comparable hotels plus the Starwood portfolio, which includes the 24 hotels acquired from Starwood in 2006 that we own as of June 15, 2007, increased 6.7% for the quarter and 6.8% year-to-date. The comparable hotel plus the Starwood portfolio RevPAR gains were driven by an increase in average room rates of 6.0% for the quarter and 6.1% year-to-date and increases in occupancy of .5 percentage points for both the quarter and year-to-date periods. Comparable hotel RevPAR for the second quarter of 2007 increased 5.5% when compared to the second quarter of 2006 and year-to-date comparable hotel RevPAR increased 5.8% when compared to year-to-date 2006. Comparable hotel adjusted operating profit margins increased .5 percentage points and .4 percentage points for the second quarter and year-to-date 2007, respectively. For further detail, see "Notes to the Financial Information." Financing Activities and Balance Sheet During the second quarter, the Company continued to reduce interest costs, as well as manage its capital structure to provide financial flexibility. On May 2, 2007, the Company paid approximately $547 million in connection with the defeasance of $514 million of mortgage debt with a 7.61% interest rate (the "CMBS Loan"), primarily utilizing proceeds from its March issuance of $600 million of 25/8% Exchangeable Senior Debentures. The payment included approximately $33 million in prepayment/defeasance and other costs. On May 25, 2007, the Company successfully amended its credit facility to increase the size of the facility to $600 million, extend the maturity from 2008 to 2011 and modify the terms of the facility, including lowering the rate of interest on borrowings from a spread of 200 to 375 basis points over LIBOR to 65 to 150 basis points over LIBOR, depending on the Company's leverage ratio. The amended facility also has an accordion feature that allows for total borrowing capacity of up to $1 billion. There are currently no amounts outstanding under the facility. Since December 31, 2006, the Company has decreased its weighted average interest rate from 6.8% to 6.1% as a result of its 2007 refinancings. As of June 15, 2007, the Company had approximately $497 million of cash and cash equivalents. Excluding amounts necessary for working capital, the Company intends to use its remaining available funds to further invest in its portfolio, acquire new properties or make further debt repayments. Dividend As previously announced, the Company expects to declare a fixed $.20 per share common dividend each quarter, as well as a special dividend in the fourth quarter of each year, the amount of which will be based on the Company's taxable income. Based on the Company's 2007 guidance, the Company expects that the fourth quarter special dividend would be in the range of $.10 to $.20. 2007 Outlook The Company expects RevPAR for the comparable hotels plus the Starwood portfolio to increase approximately 5.5% to 6.5% for the third quarter and 6.5% to 7.5% for the full year. For full year 2007, the Company expects its operating profit margins under GAAP to increase approximately 30 basis points to 70 basis points and its comparable hotel adjusted operating profit margins to increase approximately 75 basis points to 100 basis points. Based upon this guidance, the Company estimates that full year 2007 guidance for Host Hotels & Resorts, Inc. and Host Hotels & Resorts, L.P. would be as follows: Host Hotels & Resorts, Inc. -- earnings per diluted share should be approximately $.12 to $.13 for the third quarter and $1.11 to $1.17 for the full year; -- net income should be approximately $65 million to $70 million for the third quarter and $602 million to $634 million for the full year; and -- FFO per diluted share should be approximately $.32 to $.33 for the third quarter and $1.78 to $1.84 for the full year (including a charge of approximately $.08 per diluted share for the full year for debt prepayment costs). Host Hotels & Resorts, L.P. -- net income should be approximately $624 million to $656 million for the full year 2007; and -- Adjusted EBITDA for the full year 2007 should be approximately $1,450 million to $1,480 million.

The remainder of the expenditures will be for return on investment/repositioning projects. -- Approximately $1.0 billion of debt has been refinanced or repaid. Charges, net of the minority interest benefit, totaling approximately $45 million ($.08 of FFO per diluted share) related to costs associated with the debt repayments have been incurred during the year. No further prepayment costs related to debt refinancings or repayments are expected for the remainder of 2007. -- Fully diluted weighted average shares for FFO per diluted share will be 552.9 million for the third quarter and 552.7 million for the full year and for earnings per diluted share will be 523.4 million for the third quarter and 552.7 million for the full year. The amounts shown in these forecasts are based on these and other assumptions, as well as management's estimate of operations for 2007. These forecasts are forward-looking and are not guarantees of future performance and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause actual transactions, results and performance to differ materially from those expressed or implied by these forecasts. Although we believe the expectations reflected in the forecasts are based upon reasonable assumptions, we can give no assurance that the expectations will be attained or that the results will be materially different. Risks that may affect these assumptions and forecasts include the following: -- the level of RevPAR and margin growth may change significantly; -- the amount and timing of acquisitions and dispositions of hotel properties is an estimate that can substantially affect financial results, including such items as net income, depreciation and gains (losses) on dispositions; -- the amount and timing of debt prepayments is an estimate that can substantially affect the level of interest expense and net income; -- the level of capital expenditures may change significantly, which will directly affect the level of depreciation expense and net income; and -- other risks and uncertainties associated with our business described herein and in the Company's filings with the SEC.
