Ashford Hospitality Trust, Inc. (NYSE:AHT) today reported the
following results and performance measures for the second quarter
ended June 30, 2007. The proforma performance measurements for
Occupancy, Average Daily Rate (ADR), revenue per available room
(RevPAR), and Hotel Operating Profit (or Hotel EBITDA) include the
Company's 118 hotels owned as of June 30, 2007, which excludes 3
hotel assets held for sale as of that date. Unless otherwise
stated, all reported results compare the second quarter ended June
30, 2007 with the second quarter ended June 30, 2006. The
reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures is included in the
financial tables accompanying this press release. FINANCIAL
HIGHLIGHTS Total revenue increased 205% to $350.3 million from
$114.8 million Net income available to common shareholders
increased 69% to $14.1 million compared with $8.3 million in the
prior-year quarter Adjusted funds from operations (AFFO), not
including gain on sale, increased 126% to $56.5 million, or $0.44
per diluted share compared with $0.34 per diluted share in the
prior-year quarter Cash available for distribution (CAD) increased
100% to $45.4 million, or $0.35 per diluted share compared with
$0.31 per diluted share in the prior-year quarter Declared
quarterly common dividend of $0.21 per diluted share CAD dividend
coverage was 167% for the quarter STRONG INTERNAL GROWTH Proforma
RevPAR increased 6.5% for hotels not under renovation on a 5.9%
increase in ADR to $140.72 and a 41-basis point improvement in
occupancy Proforma RevPAR increased 5.8% for all hotels on a 5.8%
increase in ADR to $141.28 and a 3-basis point improvement in
occupancy Proforma same-property Hotel Operating Profit for hotels
not under renovation improved 8.7% Proforma same-property Hotel
Operating Profit margin for hotels not under renovation improved 73
basis points CAPITAL RECYCLING AND ASSET ALLOCATION Capex invested
in the second quarter totaled $25 million Capex for 2007 and 2008
estimated at $280 million for which the Company has adequate
resources to fund 11 hotels and one office building sold in the
second quarter for $115.8 million PORTFOLIO REVPAR GROWTH As of
June 30, 2007, the Company had a portfolio of direct hotel
investments consisting of 118 properties classified in continuing
operations. During the second quarter, 114 of the hotels included
in continuing operations were not under renovation. The Company
believes reporting its operating metrics for continuing operations
on a proforma total basis (all 118 hotels) and proforma
not-under-renovation basis (114 hotels) is a measure that reflects
a meaningful and more focused comparison of the operating results
in its direct hotel portfolio. The Company's reporting by region
and brand includes the results of all 118 hotels. Details of each
category are provided in the tables attached to this release.
RevPAR growth by region was led by: West South Central (12 hotels)
with a 14.5% increase; Middle Atlantic (10) with 10.0%; Pacific
(23) with 8.3%; West North Central (4) with 6.0%; Mountain (8) with
4.3%; East North Central (10) with 4.2%; South Atlantic (43) with
3.2%; New England (4) with 2.5%; East South Central (3) with a 0.9%
decrease; and Canada (1) with a 11.1% decrease. RevPAR growth by
brand was led by: InterContinental (2 hotels) with 9.9%; Hilton (38
hotels) with 8.2%; Starwood (6) with 7.1%; Hyatt (5) with 4.7%;
Marriott (62) with 4.7%; Radisson (3) with a 6.3% decrease; and
independents (2) with a 12.8% decrease. HOTEL EBITDA MARGINS AND
QUARTERLY SEASONALITY TRENDS For the 114 hotels as of June 30, 2007
that were not under renovation, Proforma Hotel EBITDA (adjusted as
if all hotels were included throughout both periods) increased 8.7%
to $112.9 million. Proforma Hotel EBITDA margin (expressed as a
percentage of Total Hotel Revenue) improved 73 basis points to
31.2%. For all 118 hotels included in continuing operations as of
June 30, 2007, Proforma Hotel EBITDA increased 7.2% to $117.3
million and Hotel EBITDA margin increased 49 basis points to 30.9%.
Ashford believes year-over-year Hotel EBITDA and Hotel EBITDA
margin comparisons are more meaningful to gauge the performance of
the Company�s hotels than sequential quarter-over-quarter
comparisons. Given the substantial seasonality in the Company�s
portfolio and its active capital recycling, to help investors
better understand this seasonality, the Company provides quarterly
detail on its Proforma Hotel EBITDA and Proforma Hotel EBITDA
margin for the current and certain prior-year periods based upon
the number of core hotels in the portfolio as of the end of the
current period. As Ashford�s portfolio mix changes from time to
time so will the seasonality for Proforma Hotel EBITDA and Proforma
Hotel EBITDA margin. Details of the quarterly calculations for the
last four quarters for the current portfolio, including the 53
hotels acquired during the second quarter, are provided in the
tables attached to this release. Monty J. Bennett, President and
CEO, commented, "The strong second quarter performance reflects
continued progress with our internal growth, asset management and
capital allocation strategies. With the integration of the acquired
CNL Hotels and Resorts� assets now complete, we are moving forward
with the $280 million of value-added investments to further enhance
the growth we are experiencing at our hotels. Over $100 million of
the planned cap-ex is expected to kick off in the second half of
the year. Our recent capital markets activities and asset sales
have also helped us reach our deleveraging target well ahead of
schedule and at very attractive terms in light of current market
conditions." FINANCING ACTIVITY On April 24, 2007, the Company
closed a follow-on offering of 48,875,000 shares of common stock at
$11.75 per share. The offering raised net proceeds of approximately
$548 million, which was used to pay off the following debt
associated with the purchase of 51 hotels from CNL Hotels and
Resorts: a $325 million term loan, $180 million of floating-rate
CMBS and $45 million of existing debt. At June 30, 2007, the
Company's net debt (defined as total debt less cash) to total
enterprise value (defined as net debt plus the market value of all
common shares, preferred shares and operating partnership units
outstanding) was 57% based upon the Company's closing stock price
of $11.76. As of June 30, 2007, the Company�s $2.9 billion debt
balance consisted of 78% of fixed-rate debt, with a total weighted
average interest rate of 6.1%. The Company�s weighted average debt
maturity is 6.4 years. SECOND QUARTER INVESTMENT ACTIVITY On April
11, 2007, the Company completed the acquisition of a 51-hotel,
13,640-room (net after joint venture adjustment) hotel portfolio
from CNL Hotels and Resorts for approximately $2.4 billion in total
consideration ($177,000 per key). The estimated forward NOI cap
rate is 7.6% and the EBITDA yield is 9.0% resulting in an 11.1x
EBITDA multiple. On a trailing 12-month basis, the transaction�s
NOI cap rate is 7.0% with an EBITDA yield of 8.4% equating to an
11.9x EBITDA multiple. On May 21, 2007, the Company completed the
acquisition of a 120-room Residence Inn and a 118-room Hampton Inn
hotel in Jacksonville, Florida for $35.8 million. On a trailing
12-month basis, the transaction�s NOI cap rate is 8.3% with an
EBITDA yield of 9.1% equating to an 11.0x EBITDA multiple. The
primary source of capital for this transaction was the proceeds of
a 1031 tax-free exchange. On various dates throughout the quarter,
the Company completed the sale of eleven hotels and one office
building for a total of $115.8 million. The hotels sold include:
the seven asset TownePlace Suites portfolio, the Embassy Suites
Phoenix, Arizona, the Radisson Hotel Covington, Kentucky, the
Fairfield Inn Evansville, Indiana and the Radisson Airport Hotel
Indianapolis, Indiana. In connection with these sales, the Company
generated a net gain of $33.3 million. The tax on this gain of $6.9
million will be deferred through a section 1031 tax-free exchange.
SUBSEQUENT FINANCING AND INVESTMENT ACTIVITY On July 18, 2007, the
Company priced 8,000,000 shares of 8.45% Series D Cumulative
Preferred Stock at $25.00 per share. The annual distribution for
the preferred stock is $2.1125 per share, payable quarterly.
Ashford used the net proceeds of the offering to redeem the
Company�s Series C Preferred Stock. INVESTMENT OUTLOOK Mr. Bennett
concluded, "The concentration of our hotels in high-growth markets,
high-growth segments and in premier brands, as well as our ability
to assemble and integrate portfolios at attractive returns,
differentiates Ashford in today�s market. We will continue to
explore new opportunities to put this advantage to work for our
shareholders. However, our primary focus is internal growth
opportunities within our portfolio." INVESTOR CONFERENCE CALL AND
SIMULCAST Ashford Hospitality Trust, Inc. will conduct a conference
call at 11:00 a.m. ET on August 2, 2007, to discuss the second
quarter results. The number to call for this interactive
teleconference is (913) 981-4911. A seven-day replay of the
conference call will be available by dialing (719) 457-0820 and
entering the confirmation number, 8263407. The Company will also
provide an online simulcast and rebroadcast of its first quarter
2006 earnings release conference call. The live broadcast of
Ashford's quarterly conference call will be available online at the
Company's website at www.ahtreit.com as well as on
http://www.videonewswire.com/event.asp?regd=y&id=40824 on

follow shortly after the call and continue for approximately one
year. Substantially all of our non-current assets consist of real
estate investments and debt investments secured by real estate.
Historical cost accounting for real estate assets implicitly
assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably
over time. Since real estate values instead have historically risen
or fallen with market conditions, most industry investors consider
supplemental measures of performance, which are not measures of
operating performance under GAAP, to be helpful in evaluating a
real estate company's operations. These supplemental measures
include FFO, AFFO, EBITDA, Hotel Operating Profit, and CAD. FFO is
computed in accordance with our interpretation of standards
established by NAREIT, which may not be comparable to FFO reported
by other REITs that do not define the term in accordance with the
current NAREIT definition or that interpret the NAREIT definition
differently than us. Neither FFO, AFFO, EBITDA, Hotel Operating
Profit, nor CAD represents cash generated from operating activities
as determined by GAAP and should not be considered as an
alternative to a) GAAP net income (loss) as an indication of our
financial performance or b) GAAP cash flows from operating
activities as a measure of our liquidity, nor are such measures
indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our
ability to make cash distributions. However, management believes
FFO, AFFO, EBITDA, Hotel Operating Profit, and CAD to be meaningful
measures of a REIT's performance and should be considered along
with, but not as an alternative to, net income and cash flow as a
measure of our operating performance. Ashford Hospitality Trust is
a self-administered real estate investment trust focused on
investing in the hospitality industry across all segments and at

These forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown
risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ

general volatility of the capital markets and the market price of

which we operate, interest rates or the general economy; and the
degree and nature of our competition. These and other risk factors
are more fully discussed in Ashford's filings with the Securities
and Exchange Commission. EBITDA is defined as net income before
interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA yield is
defined as trailing twelve month EBITDA divided by the purchase
price. A capitalization rate is determined by dividing the
property's annual net operating income by the purchase price. Net
operating income is the property's funds from operations minus a
capital expense reserve of either 4% or 5% of gross revenues. Funds
from operations ("FFO"), as defined by the White Paper on FFO
approved by the Board of Governors of the National Association of
Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") in April 2002, represents
net income (loss) computed in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles ("GAAP"), excluding gains (or losses) from
sales or properties and extraordinary items as defined by GAAP,
plus depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, and net
of adjustments for the portion of these items related to
unconsolidated entities and joint ventures. The forward-looking
statements included in this press release are only made as of the
