Third Quarter Results and Activities
| |
▪ | RevPAR: Room revenue per available room (“RevPAR”) for the quarter ended September 30, 2014 increased 11.5 percent to $212.98, as a result of a 10.2 percent increase in average daily rate (“ADR”) to $242.25 and a 1.1 percent improvement in occupancy to 87.9 percent. |
| |
▪ | Hotel EBITDA Margin: The Company’s hotel EBITDA margin for the third quarter increased 211 basis points from the comparable prior year period to 37.2 percent, its highest-ever third quarter hotel EBITDA margin. |
| |
▪ | Adjusted EBITDA: The Company’s adjusted EBITDA was $108.9 million, an increase of 15.6 percent over the third quarter of 2013. Third quarter adjusted EBITDA was negatively impacted by an estimated $1.0 million of EBITDA as a result of the sale of Hotel Viking prior to the end of the quarter. |
| |
▪ | Adjusted FFO: The Company generated third quarter adjusted FFO of $88.3 million, or $0.85 per diluted share/unit, compared to $72.8 million or $0.76 per diluted share/unit for the comparable prior year period, a per share/unit increase of 11.8 percent. |
| |
▪ | Dividend: On September 15, the Company declared a third quarter 2014 dividend of $0.375 per common share of beneficial interest. The dividend represents an annual run rate of $1.50 per share and a 4.1 percent yield based on the closing share price on October 21, 2014. |
| |
▪ | Hotel Disposition: On September 10, the Company sold Hotel Viking in Newport, Rhode Island for $77.0 million. In conjunction with the sale of Hotel Viking, the Company executed a reverse 1031 exchange with Hotel Vitale, which it purchased during April, 2014. |
| |
▪ | Preferred Redemption: On July 3, the Company redeemed all of its outstanding 7.25 percent Series G Preferred Shares for $58.7 million plus accrued dividends through the redemption date. |
| |
▪ | Capital Investments: The Company invested $23.2 million of capital in its hotels, including the closeout of previous projects and deposits for renovation projects that will start during the fourth quarter including Sofitel Washington, DC, Hilton San Diego Gaslamp Quarter, Hyatt Boston Harbor and Westin Philadelphia. |
“United States lodging demand exceeded our expectations during the third quarter and industry ADR continued on its trajectory of strong growth. Our portfolio delivered exceptional third quarter results,” said Michael D. Barnello, President and Chief Executive Officer of LaSalle Hotel Properties. “The increase in RevPAR exceeded the high end of our outlook and was driven almost entirely by double-digit ADR growth. Our hotel EBITDA margins grew by 211 basis points to our highest-ever third quarter margin. Despite a reduction in EBITDA resulting from the sale of Hotel Viking prior to the end of the quarter, adjusted EBITDA and FFO exceeded our outlook.”
“The sale of Hotel Viking capped off an excellent long term investment for us. We owned the hotel for 15 years and it generated a 10.7 percent unleveraged IRR.”
“We were very pleased with our third quarter results and overall, we remain encouraged by the favorable operating environment.”
Year-to-date Results
For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, RevPAR increased 9.2 percent to $190.33, with occupancy growth of 1.1 percent to 82.6 percent and ADR improvement of 8.0 percent to $230.42. The Company’s hotel EBITDA margin was 33.5 percent, which was an increase of 80 basis points compared to the same prior year period.
Balance Sheet
As of September 30, 2014, the Company had total outstanding debt of $1.2 billion, including $158.0 million outstanding on its senior unsecured credit facility. Total net debt to trailing 12 month Corporate EBITDA (as defined in the Company’s senior unsecured credit facility) was 3.5 times as of September 30, 2014 and its fixed charge coverage ratio was 3.9 times. For the third quarter, the Company’s weighted average interest rate was 3.7 percent. As of September 30, 2014, the Company had capacity of $614 million available on its credit facilities.
2014 Outlook
The Company is updating its 2014 outlook to incorporate its recent activities and to reflect its performance-to-date. The sale of Hotel Viking has the impact of reducing our full year adjusted EBITDA outlook by approximately $2.0 million, of which $1.0 million occurred during the third quarter. The outlook is based on an economic environment that continues to improve and assumes no additional acquisitions, dispositions or capital markets activities. The Company’s RevPAR growth and financial expectations for 2014 are as follows:

With respect to Hotel EBITDA, the Company believes that excluding the effect of corporate-level expenses, non-cash items, and the portion of these items related to unconsolidated entities provides a more complete understanding of the operating results over which individual hotels and operators have direct control. We believe property-level results provide investors with supplemental information on the ongoing operational performance of our hotels and effectiveness of the third-party management companies operating our business on a property-level basis.
Hotel EBITDA includes all properties owned as of September 30, 2014 for the Company's period of ownership in 2014 and the comparable period in 2013.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
FFO, EBITDA and Hotel EBITDA
The Company considers the non-GAAP measures of FFO (including FFO per share/unit), EBITDA and hotel EBITDA to be key supplemental measures of the Company's performance and should be considered along with, but not as alternatives to, net income or loss as a measure of the Company's operating performance. 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 real estate industry investors consider FFO, EBITDA and hotel EBITDA to be helpful in evaluating a real estate company's operations.
The White Paper on FFO approved by NAREIT in April 2002, as revised in 2011, defines FFO as net income or loss (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains or losses from sales of properties and items classified by GAAP as extraordinary, plus real estate-related depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred finance costs) and impairment writedowns, and after comparable adjustments for the Company's portion of these items related to unconsolidated entities and joint ventures. The Company computes FFO consistent with 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 current NAREIT definition differently than the Company.
With respect to FFO, the Company believes that excluding the effect of extraordinary items, real estate-related depreciation and amortization and impairments, and the portion of these items related to unconsolidated entities, all of which are based on historical cost accounting and which may be of limited significance in evaluating current performance, can facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods and between REITs, even though FFO does not represent an amount that accrues directly to common shareholders. However, FFO may not be helpful when comparing the Company to non-REITs.
With respect to EBITDA, the Company believes that excluding the effect of non-operating expenses and non-cash charges, and the portion of these items related to unconsolidated entities, all of which are also based on historical cost accounting and may be of limited significance in evaluating current performance, can help eliminate the accounting effects of depreciation and amortization, and financing decisions and facilitate comparisons of core operating profitability between periods and between REITs, even though EBITDA also does not represent an amount that accrues directly to common shareholders.
With respect to hotel EBITDA, the Company believes that excluding the effect of corporate-level expenses, non-cash items, and the portion of these items related to unconsolidated entities, provides a more complete understanding of the operating results over which individual hotels and operators have direct control. We believe property-level results provide investors with supplemental information on the ongoing operational performance of our hotels and effectiveness of the third-party management companies operating our business on a property-level basis.
FFO, EBITDA and hotel EBITDA do not represent cash generated from operating activities as determined by GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to net income or loss, cash flows from operations or any other operating performance measure prescribed by GAAP. FFO, EBITDA and hotel EBITDA are not measures of the Company's liquidity, nor are FFO, EBITDA and hotel EBITDA indicative of funds available to fund the Company's cash needs, including its ability to make cash distributions. These measurements do not reflect cash expenditures for long-term assets and other items that have been and will be incurred. FFO, EBITDA and hotel EBITDA may include funds that may not be available for management's discretionary use due to functional requirements to conserve funds for capital expenditures, property acquisitions, and other commitments and uncertainties. To compensate for this, management considers the impact of these excluded items to the extent they are material to operating decisions or the evaluation of the Company's operating performance.
Adjusted FFO and Adjusted EBITDA
The Company presents adjusted FFO (including adjusted FFO per share/unit) and adjusted EBITDA, which adjusts for certain additional items including gains on sale of property and impairment losses (to the extent included in EBITDA), acquisition transaction costs, costs associated with the departure of executive officers, costs associated with the recognition of issuance costs related to the calling of preferred shares and certain other items. The Company excludes these items as it believes it allows for meaningful comparisons with other REITs and between periods and is more indicative of the ongoing performance of its assets. As with FFO, EBITDA, and hotel EBITDA, the Company’s calculation of adjusted FFO and adjusted EBITDA may be different from similar adjusted measures calculated by other REITs.
