“We are pleased with the progress we made during 2015 improving the operating performance of our portfolio, particularly at our recently renovated and repositioned hotels as these properties gain momentum,” said Jon E. Bortz, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Pebblebrook Hotel Trust. “Despite a softer environment in the fourth quarter due to global economic challenges, the U.S. hotel industry finished the year at its highest occupancy ever, as demand continued to outpace supply. For Pebblebrook, despite also experiencing a weaker fourth quarter, we still managed to grow Same-Property EBITDA in 2015 by 8.3 percent, Adjusted EBITDA by 31.5 percent, and Adjusted FFO per share by 27.6 percent; and we increased our common dividend by 34.8 percent.”

2015 Highlights

  • Same-Property RevPAR and Room Revenue: Same-Property RevPAR for the year increased 3.3 percent to $205.42 over the same period of 2014. Same-Property Room Revenue increased by 3.9 percent, greater than RevPAR, due to the increase in the Same-Property room count. Same-Property ADR grew 4.5 percent from the comparable period of 2014 to $244.60. Same-Property Occupancy decreased 1.1 percent to 84.0 percent, as the Company focused more on growing ADR and EBITDA. Same-Property RevPAR for our wholly-owned properties, which excludes the Manhattan Collection, increased 4.6 percent for 2015.
  • Same-Property EBITDA: The Company’s hotels generated $281.9 million of Same-Property EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 2015, climbing 8.3 percent from the same period of 2014. Same-Property Revenues increased 3.5 percent, while Same-Property Expenses increased just 1.2 percent. As a result, Same-Property EBITDA Margin grew to 33.1 percent for the year ended December 31, 2015, representing an improvement of 148 basis points as compared to the same period last year. Flow-through of Same-Property Revenues to Same-Property EBITDA was 75.7 percent for 2015. Same-Property EBITDA for our wholly-owned properties grew 11.2 percent for 2015.
  • Same-Property EBITDA per room: The Company’s Same-Property EBITDA per room for the year ended December 31, 2015 increased 7.6 percent to $35,197 from 2014.
  • Adjusted EBITDA: The Company’s Adjusted EBITDA for 2015 rose to $259.5 million, a gain of 31.5 percent versus $197.3 million in 2014.
  • Adjusted FFO: The Company’s Adjusted FFO for 2015 climbed 39.5 percent to $181.5 million, compared with $130.1 million for the prior year.
  • Dividends: During 2015, the Company declared dividends of $1.24 per share on its common shares, $1.96875 per share on its 7.875% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares, $2.00 per share on its 8.0% Series B Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares and $1.625 per share on its 6.50% Series C Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares.

“The hotel industry’s fundamentals remained favorable in 2015, as demand growth of 2.9 percent outpaced supply growth of 1.1 percent,” said Mr. Bortz. “While demand growth in our markets was not as robust as we originally expected for the year, we benefited from our implementation of best practices and our creative and comprehensive capital reinvestment programs. We continue to see results from our long-term focus on growing Same-Property EBITDA through our capital investment programs, as well as improving the overall quality and condition of our portfolio. Same-Property RevPAR excluding the Manhattan Collection grew 4.6 percent for the year, with ADR climbing 6.0 percent, even with the negative impact of numerous disruptive renovations throughout the portfolio.”

Fourth Quarter Highlights

  • Same-Property RevPAR and Room Revenue: Same-Property RevPAR in the fourth quarter of 2015 increased 1.7 percent over the same period of 2014 to $197.13. Same-Property Room Revenue increased by 2.4 percent, greater than RevPAR due to the increase in the Same-Property room count. Same-Property ADR grew 1.6 percent from the fourth quarter of 2014 to $241.52. Same-Property Occupancy rose 0.1 percent to 81.6 percent. Same-Property RevPAR for our wholly-owned properties increased 3.2 percent from the year-ago period.
  • Same-Property EBITDA: The Company’s hotels generated $69.2 million of Same-Property EBITDA for the quarter ended December 31, 2015, climbing 3.9 percent compared with the same period of 2014. Same-Property Revenues increased 2.8 percent, while Same-Property Hotel Expenses rose 2.4 percent. As a result, Same-Property EBITDA Margin grew to 31.8 percent from the fourth quarter of 2014, representing an increase of 32 basis points. Same-Property EBITDA for our wholly-owned properties grew 7.0 percent from the prior-year period.
  • Adjusted EBITDA: The Company’s Adjusted EBITDA rose to $64.4 million from $50.9 million in the prior-year period, an increase of $13.4 million, or 26.4 percent.
  • Adjusted FFO: The Company’s Adjusted FFO climbed 37.3 percent to $44.7 million from $32.6 million in the prior-year period.
  • Dividends: On December 15, 2015, the Company declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.31 per share on its common shares, a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.4921875 per share on its 7.875% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares, a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.50 per share on its 8.00% Series B Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares and a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.40625 per share on its 6.50% Series C Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares.

“Corporate transient demand during the fourth quarter was weaker than expected, particularly during December,” noted Mr. Bortz. “However, working collaboratively with our hotel teams, we continue to make strides implementing our best practices and other operating initiatives, as well as adjusting revenue management strategies and tactics to mitigate the softer demand trends.”

Capital Reinvestment and Asset Management

During 2015, the Company made $104.3 million of capital improvements throughout its portfolio, which includes the Company’s 49 percent interest in its six-hotel joint venture with Denihan Hospitality Group (the “Manhattan Collection”). The Company’s capital improvements included $21.8 million at Hotel Zephyr Fisherman’s Wharf, $13.5 million at Prescott Hotel San Francisco, $10.1 million at W Los Angeles – West Beverly Hills, $8.3 million at Hotel Vintage Portland, $6.5 million at Embassy Suites San Diego Bay – Downtown and $6.0 million at The Westin Colonnade, Coral Gables.

“The completed capital investment programs at Hotel Vintage Portland, W Los Angeles – West Beverly Hills, Hotel Zephyr Fisherman’s Wharf and Embassy Suites San Diego Bay – Downtown should provide us with additional opportunities in 2016 and beyond to substantially grow market share at each hotel by generating higher room rates and increased RevPAR penetration,” continued Mr. Bortz. “Our teams have made positive progress throughout the year, which we expect will accelerate throughout 2016.”

Acquisitions

In 2015, the Company successfully acquired two high-quality, full-service hotels: the 189-room LaPlaya Beach Resort & Club in Naples, Florida for $185.5 million and the 221-room upper-upscale The Tuscan Fisherman’s Wharf, a Best Western Plus Hotel, for $122.0 million located in the heart of Fisherman’s Wharf in San Francisco, California. Both of the Company’s 2015 acquisitions are located in exceptionally desirable, high growth, high barrier-to-entry markets.

Dispositions

The Company has retained an advisor to market for sale its 49 percent joint venture interest in the Manhattan Collection. In addition, Pebblebrook has also retained advisors to market for disposition several select hotels in its portfolio, and the Company is evaluating offering additional properties, including parking facilities and retail space that can be apportioned from individual hotels. The properties that are being offered individually were selected to best take advantage of the current disconnect between public and private market values, minimally impact the overall quality of the portfolio, and maintain the benefits of healthy diversification. The Company will provide updates to any disposition activity only after such transactions are complete, and there is no assurance that any transactions will be consummated.

$150 Million Common Share Repurchase Program

The Company announced that its Board of Trustees authorized a new share repurchase program of up to $150.0 million of the Company’s outstanding common shares, $0.01 par value per share. The repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time and does not obligate the Company to acquire any particular amount of shares.

The Company intends to repurchase shares only if the Company deems repurchases to be attractive and only after any property sales proceeds are utilized to reduce corporate leverage and provide for taxes through the separate distribution of taxable gains from any property sales. Generally, the Company intends to repurchase shares primarily with proceeds from any dispositions of its hotel properties.

Under the program, the Company may repurchase shares from time to time in transactions on the open market, in accordance with applicable securities laws and other restrictions. The timing and volume of repurchases will be determined by management based on its ongoing assessments of the capital needs of the business, prevailing market prices, general economic and market conditions and other considerations.

Capital Markets

During 2015, the Company completed numerous attractive capital market transactions to help fund strategic growth and maintain its strong balance sheet. The Company successfully executed $375.0 million in 5-year and 7-year term loans and also originated $100.0 million in average 8.8-year private placement senior unsecured notes. Additionally, the Company increased the size of its unsecured credit facility to $750.0 million, which includes $300.0 million of outstanding term loans.

“We’re extremely pleased with our continued ability to access the capital markets and the strong support from our banking relationships,” commented Raymond D. Martz, Chief Financial Officer of Pebblebrook Hotel Trust. “We will continue to evaluate our options for attractive long-term debt capital, and we remain encouraged by the continued strong interest from the lending community to provide capital for high quality assets in major urban markets with strong sponsorship.”

Balance Sheet

As of December 31, 2015, the Company had $1.1 billion in consolidated debt and $225.4 million in unconsolidated, non-recourse, secured debt, both at weighted-average interest rates of 3.6 percent. The Company had $525.0 million outstanding in the form of unsecured term loans and $165.0 million outstanding on its $450.0 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility. As of December 31, 2015, the Company had $35.8 million of consolidated cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash and $12.2 million of unconsolidated cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash. The unconsolidated debt, cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash amounts represent the Company’s 49 percent interest in the Manhattan Collection.

On December 31, 2015, as defined in the Company’s credit agreement, the Company’s fixed charge coverage ratio was 2.9 times and total net debt to trailing 12-month corporate EBITDA was 4.7 times. Excluding its interest in the off-balance sheet Manhattan Collection, the Company’s fixed charge coverage ratio was 3.0 times, and net debt to trailing 12-month corporate EBITDA was 4.3 times.

On January 6, 2016, the Company announced that it drew down $150.0 million on previously arranged 5-year and 7-year term loans, and used the proceeds to reduce the balance on its $450.0 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility.

On February 8, 2016, the Company provided notice to the holders of its 7.875% Series A Cumulative Preferred Shares (the “Series A Preferred Shares”) of the redemption of all 5,600,000 of its issued and outstanding Series A Preferred Shares. The redemption date will be March 11, 2016. The Company intends to use proceeds from its senior unsecured revolving credit facility to redeem the Series A Preferred Shares.

2016 Outlook

The Company's outlook for 2016, which assumes no additional acquisitions or dispositions, incorporates the impact of the Company’s announced redemption of its Series A Preferred Shares, includes its various planned capital investment projects and assumes continued growth in economic activity, positive business travel trends and other significant assumptions, is as follows:

 
2016 Outlook
Low   High
($ and shares/units in millions, except per share and RevPAR data)

Net income

$65.7   $77.7
Net income per diluted share $0.90 $1.07

Adjusted FFO $194.3 $206.3
Adjusted FFO per diluted share $2.67 $2.84
Adjusted FFO per diluted share growth rate 6.8% 13.6%
 

This 2016 outlook is based, in part, on the following estimates and assumptions:

 
U.S. GDP growth rate 1.5% 2.0%
U.S. Hotel Industry RevPAR growth rate 3.0% 5.0%
Urban Markets RevPAR growth rate 1.0% 3.0%

“We believe 2016 will be another solid year for the overall hotel industry and Pebblebrook, despite the amplified challenges to the U.S. economic recovery from global economic weaknesses and geopolitical challenges,” noted Mr. Bortz. “We expect that demand growth from most segments including business, leisure transient and group will continue to grow modestly. International inbound travel demand, which was weak throughout 2015, is expected to remain a drag on demand growth in 2016, primarily affecting the major gateway cities. As a result of these factors and greater supply on average in many of the larger urban markets like New York and Washington D.C., we expect that the urban markets will continue to underperform the U.S. Industry’s RevPAR growth. We remain encouraged with the opportunities throughout our portfolio, as well as the momentum we have been gaining at our recently renovated and redeveloped hotels. We’re forecasting Same-Property RevPAR to increase 2.0 to 4.0 percent and Same-Property Room Revenue to increase 2.7 percent to 4.7 percent, which takes into account the negative impact of expected disruption at our hotels undergoing renovations throughout the year, as well as the added day in 2016 and the rooms we’ve added during our redevelopment programs.”

The Company’s 2016 outlook also incorporates all of the expected disruption associated with the various renovations and repositionings at our properties, including the Company’s currently closed 164-room Prescott Hotel San Francisco, which is adding 32 new guestrooms, with completion and relaunch as Hotel Zeppelin San Francisco by the second quarter of 2016; the 331-room The Nines, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Portland with completion forecasted by the end of the first quarter in 2016; the 157-room The Westin Colonnade, Coral Gables, which is expected to be completed in phases by the end of the third quarter in 2016; Hotel Monaco Washington D.C., Union Station Hotel Nashville, Autograph Collection, Revere Hotel Boston Common and Hotel Palomar Los Angeles Beverly Hills, all of which already have or are expected to commence renovations in 2016.

The Company’s outlook for the first quarter of 2016 is as follows:

 
First Quarter 2016 Outlook
Low   High
($ and shares/units in millions, except per share and RevPAR data)
Same-Property RevPAR $186   $191
Same-Property RevPAR growth rate 3.0% 6.0%
Same-Property Room Revenue growth rate 4.8% 7.8%
 
Same-Property EBITDA $56.5 $59.5
Same-Property EBITDA growth rate 5.0% 10.6%
Same-Property EBITDA Margin 28.9% 29.4%
Same-Property EBITDA Margin growth rate 125 bps 175 bps
 
Adjusted EBITDA $48.8 $51.8
Adjusted EBITDA growth rate 25.7% 33.5%
 
Adjusted FFO $31.2 $34.2
Adjusted FFO per diluted share $0.43 $0.47
Adjusted FFO per diluted share growth rate 26.5% 38.2%
 
Weighted-average fully diluted shares and units 72.7 72.7
 

The Company’s estimates and assumptions, including the Company’s outlook for 2016 and first quarter 2016, for Same-Property RevPAR, Same-Property RevPAR growth rate, Same-Property Room Revenue growth rate, Same-Property EBITDA, Same-Property EBITDA growth rate, Same-Property EBITDA Margin and Same-Property EBITDA Margin growth rate include the hotels owned as of December 31, 2015, as if they had been owned by the Company for all of 2015 and 2016, except for Hotel Vintage Portland, which is not included in the first quarter and Prescott/Zeppelin Hotel San Francisco, which is not included in the first and fourth quarters. The Company’s 2016 outlook assumes no additional acquisitions or dispositions beyond the hotels the Company owned as of December 31, 2015.

If any of the foregoing estimates and assumptions prove to be inaccurate, actual results, including the Outlook, may vary, and could vary significantly, from the amounts shown above.

Common Dividend Increase

This proposed increase represents a 22.6 percent increase over the Company’s current quarterly common dividend of $0.31 per share, and an annualized yield of 5.7 percent based on Friday’s closing price of $26.81.

To supplement the Company’s consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), this press release includes certain non-GAAP financial measures as defined under Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Rules.
 
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 measures used by other companies. In addition, these non-GAAP measures are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. Non-GAAP 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), 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 calculations that are 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).
 
The Company also evaluates its performance by reviewing Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted FFO, because it believes that adjusting EBITDA and FFO 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 EBITDA and Adjusted FFO, when combined with the primary GAAP presentation of net income (loss), more completely describes the Company's operating performance. The Company adjusts EBITDA and FFO for the following items, which may occur in any period, and refers to these measures as Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted FFO:
 
- Hotel acquisition costs: The Company excludes acquisition transaction costs expensed during the period because it believes that including these costs in EBITDA and FFO 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.
- Amortization of Class A LTIP units: The Company excludes the non-cash amortization of LTIP Units expensed during the period.
- 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 EBITDA and FFO 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 FFO does not reflect the underlying financial performance of the Company.
- Capital lease adjustment: The Company excludes the effect of non-cash interest expense from capital leases because it believes that including these non-cash adjustments in 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 and above/below market real estate tax reduction agreements because it believes that including these non-cash adjustments in FFO does not reflect the underlying financial performance of the Company.
 
The Company’s presentation of FFO in accordance with the NAREIT White Paper and EBITDA, and as adjusted by the Company, should not be considered as an alternative 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.
