Pebblebrook Hotel Trust (NYSE: PEB):

Q3 FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

Net income: $45.1 million
Same-Property Total RevPAR Growth: Increased 2.7% vs. Q3 2023, with urban properties improving 2.7% and resort properties growing 2.5%
Same-Property Hotel EBITDA: $110.8 million, down $1.1 million, or 1.0%, vs. Q3 2023
Adjusted EBITDAre: $112.2 million, down $3.8 million, or 3.3%, vs. Q3 2023
Adjusted FFO per diluted share: $0.59, decreasing 3.3% from Q3 2023
Unexpected Insurance Proceeds: Adjusted EBITDAre and FFO include $7.1 million from business interruption insurance proceeds, which were not included in the Company’s prior outlook

HOTEL OPERATING TRENDS

Increased Urban and Resort Occupancies in Q3: Urban Same-Property Occupancy rose 3.7%, driven by strong performance in Chicago, San Diego, Boston and Portland. Resort Same-Property Occupancy saw a robust 5.9% increase, bolstered by higher weekday business group demand and improving weekend leisure travel.
Reduced Q3 Performance from Hurricanes Debby and Helene: Same-Property Total Revenues and Hotel EBITDA decreased by $1.2 million, and Adjusted EBITDA by $1.5 million, resulting in a 30-basis-point reduction in Same-Property Total RevPAR growth and a 25-basis-point decrease in Same-Property RevPAR growth.

PORTFOLIO UPDATES & BALANCE SHEET

Hyatt Centric Delfina Santa Monica Rebrand: Following the rebrand on September 18, 2024, a $16 million property refresh commenced in November 2024 to enhance the guest experience.
$400 Million Senior Notes Issuance: On October 3, 2024, $400 million of 6.375%, 5-year senior unsecured notes were issued with $353.3 million of the net proceeds used to pay down existing term loans.
Extended $787 Million of Debt Maturities and Improved Liquidity: On November 1, 2024, the Company extended $787 million of its term loans and credit facilities. Pebblebrook now has no significant debt maturities until December 2026.

2024

OUTLOOK

Net loss: ($19.4) to ($15.4) million
Same-Property RevPAR Growth Rate: +1.25% to +1.65% (midpoint down 30 bps)
Adjusted EBITDAre: $346.0 to $350.0 million (midpoint decreased $7.5 million)
Adjusted FFO per diluted share: $1.57 to $1.60 (midpoint decreased $0.04)
Hurricane Impact on Outlook: The updated 2024 Outlook incorporates an anticipated 30 basis point negative impact to Same-Property RevPAR growth, an $11.5 million reduction in Adjusted EBITDAre and a ($0.10) impact to Adjusted FFO per diluted share, driven by operational disruptions and cancellations from Hurricane Milton and other recent named storms. A substantial portion of these losses are expected to be mitigated through business interruption insurance proceeds.

Note: See tables later in this press release for a description of Same-Property information and reconciliations from net income (loss) to non-GAAP financial measures used in the table above and elsewhere in this press release.

"Third-quarter demand was in line with our outlook, despite the challenges posed by Hurricanes Debby and Helene disrupting all our resorts in the southeast. This solid performance underscores the continuing recovery of business group, business transient, and leisure demand across our urban and resort locations. Our resorts demonstrated exceptional resilience, achieving strong gains in both occupancy and market share, largely as a result of our recent strategic redevelopment investments.

‘In the third quarter, we remained intensely focused on achieving sustainable cost reductions and operational efficiencies across our portfolio, collaborating closely with our operators to implement new technologies and best practices. As a result, our Same-Property Total Expenses increased by just 4.3%, while costs per occupied room remained flat year-over-year, and declined when excluding fixed expenses. We are very pleased with the significant positive impact these efforts have had on our bottom-line performance.”

-Jon E. Bortz, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Pebblebrook Hotel Trust

“Same Property Total RevPAR rose by 2.7%, driven by higher occupancy rates and continued robust out-of-room spending across our urban properties and resorts,” noted Mr. Bortz. “Our year-over-year growth has been strongly supported by the group segment, with group revenues up over 11% in Q3 and nearly 7% year-to-date. We expect continued occupancy growth, propelled by sustained demand from both business and leisure travelers, despite concerns about the macroeconomic environment and presidential election.”

Update on Impact from Named Storms

On September 26, 2024, Hurricane Helene impacted the Company’s 189-room LaPlaya Beach Resort & Club (“LaPlaya”), resulting in the closure of the Beach House building—which contains 79 guestrooms—due to ground-floor water infiltration. The adjacent pool complex was also adversely affected and closed. Subsequently, on October 9, 2024, Hurricane Milton further impacted the resort, leading to a temporary closure of the entire resort.

Demonstrating Pebblebrook’s commitment to resilience and rapid recovery, LaPlaya’s Gulf Tower (70 rooms) and Bay Tower (40 rooms) reopened on November 1, 2024, along with BALEEN Naples and the members-only Beach Club restaurant. The Company currently anticipates that the pool complex will reopen later this year, and the Beach House will partially reopen in the coming months and be largely operational by the end of Q1 2025, all subject to local governmental approvals. The Company currently expects repair costs to be immaterial and believes that property, flood, and business interruption insurance—net of deductibles—will substantially mitigate the financial impact.

The Company’s previous outlook projected LaPlaya to generate $24 million in Hotel EBITDA for 2024. Following the impact of Hurricanes Helene and Milton, this anticipated contribution has been revised to $18.7 million for 2024, with fourth quarter expectations reduced to $0.9 million. This reflects a decrease of $5.3 million compared to the prior outlook, although the total estimated disruption for LaPlaya from recent hurricanes is approximately $7.8 million based on updated performance expectations since the prior outlook. It is important to note that LaPlaya is excluded from Same-Property results for both 2024 and 2023, so these adjustments do not affect Same-Property Hotel Revenue and EBITDA metrics. However, the estimated impact does affect the Company’s Adjusted EBITDAre, Adjusted FFO and Adjusted FFO per diluted share.

Pebblebrook’s other resorts in southern Florida and southern Georgia remain fully operational and sustained no material property damage from the recent named storms. However, these properties, along with LaPlaya, experienced considerable cancellations and reduced booking volumes both before and after the storms, affecting operating performance in the third and fourth quarters. The Company has factored these impacts into the revised 2024 Outlook.

Regarding insurance claims from Hurricane Ian, Pebblebrook recorded $7.1 million in business interruption (“BI”) insurance proceeds in Q3 2024, of which $2.7 million had been expected and included in the Company’s Outlook for the fourth quarter. The Company’s prior Outlook did not anticipate any BI insurance proceeds for the third quarter. Year-to-date, Pebblebrook has recorded $18.3 million in BI insurance income from Hurricane Ian, with no additional BI insurance income from Hurricane Ian expected in Q4 2024.

Conversion of Hyatt Centric Delfina Santa Monica

The Company completed a reflag of the 315-room Hyatt Centric Delfina Santa Monica on September 18, 2024. This exciting conversion includes an approximate $16.0 million property refresh, which commenced in November 2024 and is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2025. Hyatt is providing key money, offsetting a majority of the capital for the property refresh. The property’s performance in September was meaningfully affected by the disruption caused by the brand change, and this impact has continued into the fourth quarter as the customer base transitions to the new brand. This negative trend is expected to reverse as the property refresh is completed in the first quarter and as Hyatt and the property team ramp up sales and marketing efforts.

Capital Investments and Strategic Property Redevelopments

During the third quarter, the Company completed $14.0 million of capital investments throughout its portfolio, excluding capital expenditures related to the repair and rebuilding of LaPlaya. This includes capital related to the reflagging and refresh of Hyatt Centric Delfina Santa Monica.

The Company has substantially completed its last major property redevelopments, with the exception of the potential redevelopment and conversion of Paradise Point Resort to a Margaritaville Island Resort. With the completion of these significant investments, virtually all of the Company's properties have undergone recent major redevelopments or renovations. This marks a transition to a period of significantly reduced capital investments planned for the next few years. The Company expects it will invest a total of $90 to $95 million in the portfolio in 2024, net of key money.

Since 2018, the Company has reinvested approximately $523 million in transforming its hotels and resorts, with over $284 million directed towards return on investment (“ROI”)-generating investments, as part of the Company’s broader strategic redevelopment program. These investments have predominantly involved major overhauls and strategic repositionings, elevating the Company's properties to superior standards, by adding and enhancing amenities and other profit-generating facilities, including remerchandising existing indoor and outdoor facilities. These ROI-focused projects are anticipated to yield substantial returns and significant future organic growth, aligning with the outcomes of past redevelopment and repositioning initiatives completed by the Company.

Common Share Repurchases

In the third quarter of 2024, the Company repurchased 808,986 common shares at an average price of $12.35 per share. On a cumulative basis since October 2022, the Company has repurchased over 12 million common shares, or approximately 9% of the Company’s outstanding common shares, at an average price of $14.40 per share, representing a roughly 50% discount to the midpoint of the Company’s most recently published Net Asset Value (“NAV”) per share.

Balance Sheet

On October 3, 2024, Pebblebrook issued $400 million of 6.375% Senior Notes due October 2029. The proceeds from the sale of these notes were used to pay down $353.3 million across three term loans: $43.3 million on the 2024 term loan, $210 million on the 2025 term loan, and $100 million on the 2027 term loan.

On November 1, 2024, the Company extended $185.2 million of its remaining $200 million 2025 term loan from October 2025 to January 2029, and extended the maturity of $602 million of its $650 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility from October 2027 to October 2029.

Year-to-date, the Company has successfully executed $1.5 billion in debt financings and extensions.

Following these refinancings, the Company has no meaningful debt maturities until December 2026, and the weighted-average maturity of the Company’s debt is approximately 3.2 years. The Company’s current $2.3 billion of consolidated debt and convertible notes is well-structured, with an estimated effective weighted-average interest rate of 4.3%. Approximately 91% of the combined debt and convertible notes is fixed at an estimated effective weighted-average interest rate of 4.0%, while the remaining 9% is floating at an estimated weighted-average interest rate of 6.9%. In addition, 91% of the Company’s outstanding debt is unsecured.

As of November 1, 2024, the Company had approximately $175.0 million in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, plus $636.3 million of undrawn availability on its $650 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility.

Common and Preferred Dividends

On September 13, 2024, the Company declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.01 per share on its common shares and a regular quarterly cash dividend for the following preferred shares of beneficial interest:

$0.39844 per 6.375% Series E Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Share;
$0.39375 per 6.3% Series F Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Share;
$0.39844 per 6.375% Series G Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Share; and
$0.35625 per 5.7% Series H Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Share.

Update on Curator Hotel & Resort Collection

Curator Hotel & Resort Collection (“Curator”) is a curated collection of experientially focused small brands and independent lifestyle hotels and resorts worldwide founded by Pebblebrook and several industry-leading independent lifestyle hotel operators. As of September 30, 2024, Curator had 101 member hotels and resorts and 117 master service agreements with preferred vendor partners. The master service agreements provide Curator member hotels, including Pebblebrook hotels, with preferred pricing, enhanced operating terms, and early access to curated new technologies. Curator's mission is to support lifestyle hotels and resorts through its best-in-class operating agreements, services and technology, while helping properties amplify their independent brands and what makes them unique.

2024 Outlook

The Company's 2024 Outlook, which does not assume any acquisitions or dispositions, incorporates planned capital investments and key assumptions, including an estimated $18.3 million in BI insurance proceeds and $18.7 million of Hotel EBITDA related to LaPlaya, which is incorporated into Adjusted EBITDAre, Adjusted FFO and Adjusted FFO per diluted share, but does not impact Same-Property Hotel EBITDA. The Company’s 2024 Outlook also takes into account its best estimate of the impact of Hurricane Milton and other named storms on the operating performance of its southeast resorts. This forecast assumes stable travel conditions, unaffected by pandemics, any further major weather events, federal shutdowns or deteriorating macro-economic factors.

Considerations Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release includes certain non-GAAP financial measures. These measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative to, measures prepared in accordance with GAAP and may be different from similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with the Company’s results of operations determined in accordance with GAAP.

Funds from Operations (“FFO”) - FFO represents net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains or losses from sales of properties, plus real estate-related depreciation and amortization and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships. The Company considers FFO a useful measure of performance for an equity REIT because it facilitates an understanding of the Company's operating performance without giving effect to real estate depreciation and amortization, which assume that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, the Company believes that FFO provides a meaningful indication of its performance. The Company also considers FFO an appropriate performance measure given its wide use by investors and analysts. The Company computes FFO in accordance with standards established by the Board of Governors of Nareit in its March 1995 White Paper (as amended in November 1999 and April 2002), which may differ from the methodology for calculating FFO utilized by other equity REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to that of other REITs. Further, FFO does not represent amounts available for management’s discretionary use because of needed capital replacement or expansion, debt service obligations or other commitments and uncertainties, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund the Company’s cash needs, including its ability to make distributions. The Company presents FFO per diluted share based on the outstanding dilutive common shares plus the outstanding Operating Partnership units for the periods presented.

Earnings before Interest, Taxes, and Depreciation and Amortization ("EBITDA") - The Company believes that EBITDA provides investors a useful financial measure to evaluate its operating performance, excluding the impact of our capital structure (primarily interest expense) and our asset base (primarily depreciation and amortization).

EBITDA for Real Estate ("EBITDAre") - The Company believes that EBITDAre provides investors a useful financial measure to evaluate its operating performance, and the Company presents EBITDAre in accordance with Nareit guidelines, as defined in its September 2017 white paper "Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization for Real Estate." EBITDAre adjusts EBITDA for the following items, which may occur in any period: (1) gains or losses on the disposition of depreciated property, including gains or losses on change of control; (2) impairment write-downs of depreciated property and of investments in unconsolidated affiliates caused by a decrease in value of depreciated property in the affiliate; and (3) adjustments to reflect the entity's share of EBITDAre of unconsolidated affiliates.

The Company also evaluates its performance by reviewing Adjusted FFO and Adjusted EBITDAre because it believes that adjusting FFO and EBITDAre to exclude certain recurring and non-recurring items described below provides useful supplemental information regarding the Company's ongoing operating performance and that the presentation of Adjusted FFO and Adjusted EBITDAre, when combined with the primary GAAP presentation of net income (loss), more completely describes the Company's operating performance. The Company adjusts FFO available to common share and unit holders and EBITDAre for the following items, which may occur in any period, and refers to these measures as Adjusted FFO and Adjusted EBITDAre:

- Transaction costs: The Company excludes transaction costs expensed during the period because it believes that including these costs in Adjusted FFO and Adjusted EBITDAre does not reflect the underlying financial performance of the Company and its hotels.

- Non-cash ground rent: The Company excludes the non-cash ground rent expense, which is primarily made up of the straight-line rent impact from a ground lease.

- Management/franchise contract transition costs: The Company excludes one-time management and/or franchise contract transition costs expensed during the period because it believes that including these costs in Adjusted FFO and Adjusted EBITDAre does not reflect the underlying financial performance of the Company and its hotels.

- Interest expense adjustment for acquired liabilities: The Company excludes interest expense adjustment for acquired liabilities assumed in connection with acquisitions, because it believes that including these non-cash adjustments in Adjusted FFO does not reflect the underlying financial performance of the Company.

- Finance lease adjustment: The Company excludes the effect of non-cash interest expense from finance leases because it believes that including these non-cash adjustments in Adjusted FFO does not reflect the underlying financial performance of the Company.

- Non-cash amortization of acquired intangibles: The Company excludes the non-cash amortization of acquired intangibles, which includes but is not limited to the amortization of favorable and unfavorable leases or management agreements and above/below market real estate tax reduction agreements because it believes that including these non-cash adjustments in Adjusted FFO and Adjusted EBITDAre does not reflect the underlying financial performance of the Company.

- Early extinguishment of debt and deferred tax benefit: The Company excludes these items because the Company believes that including these adjustments in Adjusted FFO does not reflect the underlying financial performance of the Company and its hotels.

- Amortization of share-based compensation expense and hurricane-related costs: The Company excludes these items because it believes that including these costs in Adjusted FFO and Adjusted EBITDAre does not reflect the underlying financial performance of the Company and its hotels.

The Company presents weighted-average number of basic and fully diluted common shares and units by excluding the dilutive effect of shares issuable upon conversion of convertible debt.

The Company’s presentation of FFO and Adjusted FFO should not be considered as alternatives to net income (computed in accordance with GAAP) as an indicator of the Company’s financial performance or to cash flow from operating activities (computed in accordance with GAAP) as an indicator of its liquidity. The Company’s presentation of EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre should not be considered as alternatives to net income (computed in accordance with GAAP) as an indicator of the Company’s financial performance or to cash flow from operating activities (computed in accordance with GAAP) as an indicator of its liquidity.
