“We’re pleased with our second quarter operating results, as strong Same-Property EBITDA growth was achieved through greater progress than expected in reducing costs from our best practices implementation,” said Jon E. Bortz, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Pebblebrook Hotel Trust. “These reductions in our expense run rate offset more modest RevPAR growth than we had forecasted. Our hotels benefitted from industry strength as demand continues to significantly outpace new supply, leading to healthy rate growth. Our 2015 outlook remains very positive as we expect to see continued favorable growth trends for the balance of the year for both our portfolio and the U.S. lodging industry.”

Second Quarter Highlights

  • Same-Property RevPAR: Same-Property RevPAR in the second quarter of 2015 increased 3.8 percent over the same period of 2014 to $217.23. Same-Property ADR grew 4.8 percent from the second quarter of 2014 to $249.31. Same-Property Occupancy decreased 0.9 percent to 87.1 percent.
  • Same-Property EBITDA: The Company’s hotels generated $77.8 million of Same-Property EBITDA for the quarter ended June 30, 2015, rising 10.6 percent compared with the same period of 2014. Same-Property Revenues increased 3.4 percent, while Same-Property Hotel Expenses declined by 0.3 percent. As a result, Same-Property EBITDA Margin for the second quarter of 2015 grew to 36.0 percent, representing an increase of 236 basis points.
  • Adjusted EBITDA: The Company’s Adjusted EBITDA rose to $74.0 million from $53.3 million in the prior year period, an increase of $20.7 million, or 39.0 percent.
  • Adjusted FFO: The Company’s Adjusted FFO climbed 44.5 percent to $52.0 million from $36.0 million in the prior year period.
  • Dividends: On June 10, 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.

“Our second quarter remained solid, particularly when considering the negative impact associated with several significant capital reinvestment and renovation projects that were recently completed,” continued Mr. Bortz. “We were able to grow Same-Property EBITDA by 10.6 percent over the prior year, while our Same-Property EBITDA margin increased 236 basis points, offsetting our less than expected RevPAR growth. We’re making progress remixing our customers at both recently acquired and recently renovated and repositioned properties, as well as implementing our best practices and asset management programs at all of our hotels. We expect to see further improvement in our RevPAR growth and operating profitability as we continue to enhance and reposition our hotels.”

Capital Reinvestment and Asset Management

During the second quarter, the Company invested $28.1 million in capital improvements throughout its portfolio and completed significant capital projects at a number of its West Coast properties. In April 2015, the Company completed its $23.5 million renovation and 39 guest room expansion at the newly renamed, 297-room W Los Angeles – West Beverly Hills. STK, the new leased restaurant at W Los Angeles – West Beverly Hills, opened on July 2, 2015. In June 2015, Radisson Hotel Fisherman’s Wharf re-launched as the 361-room Hotel Zephyr Fisherman’s Wharf, following its transformative $32.0 million redevelopment. The addition of 10 guest rooms at the 252-room Dumont NYC was completed earlier this week.

During the remainder of 2015, the Company has various renovations and repositionings planned at a number of its properties, including:

  • The Westin Colonnade Coral Gables, with a comprehensive public area and guest room renovation and repositioning planned to commence in the Fall of 2015 and expected completion in the second quarter of 2016;
  • Prescott Hotel, which will undergo a full renovation and repositioning that is planned to commence November 1, at which time the hotel will be closed and then reopened under a new name by the second quarter of 2016;
  • The Nines, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Portland, which is expected to commence a rooms renovation and lobby and meeting space refresh late in the fourth quarter of 2015, with completion planned by the second quarter of 2016.

Acquisitions

  • On May 21, 2015, the Company acquired the 189-room, waterfront, luxury LaPlaya Beach Resort and LaPlaya Beach Club, a private members club located at the resort in Naples, Florida, for a combined purchase price of $185.5 million.
  • On June 11, 2015, the Company acquired The Tuscan Fisherman’s Wharf, a Best Western Plus Hotel, for $122.0 million. The 221-room upper-upscale, full-service hotel is located in the heart of Fisherman’s Wharf in San Francisco, California.

“We’re very excited about the high-quality acquisitions we’ve made this year, which have allowed us to grow in our West Coast target market of San Francisco and expand into the high-end Naples, Florida resort market,” commented Mr. Bortz. “Through the implementation of our asset management programs, best practice initiatives and capital investment plans, we believe we can achieve healthy RevPAR growth and margin expansion, thereby driving significant growth in EBITDA and value at these hotels.”

Year-to-Date Highlights

  • Same-Property RevPAR, ADR and Occupancy: Same-Property RevPAR for the six months ended June 30, 2015 increased 3.8 percent over the same period of 2014 to $196.31. Year-to-date Same-Property ADR grew 5.5 percent from the comparable period of 2014 to $236.84, while year-to-date Same-Property Occupancy declined 1.6 percent to 82.9 percent.
  • Same-Property Hotel EBITDA: The Company’s hotels generated $124.0 million of Same-Property Hotel EBITDA for the six months ended June 30, 2015, an improvement of 10.7 percent compared with the same period of 2014. Same-Property Hotel Revenues grew 3.5 percent, while Same-Property Hotel Expenses rose just 0.6 percent. As a result, Same-Property Hotel EBITDA Margin for the six months ended June 30, 2015 increased 204 basis points to 31.5 percent as compared to the same period last year.

  • Adjusted FFO: The Company’s Adjusted FFO climbed 44.5 percent to $76.4 million from $52.9 million in the prior year period.

Balance Sheet

As of June 30, 2015, the Company had $1.1 billion in consolidated debt and $225.4 million in unconsolidated, non-recourse, secured debt at weighted-average interest rates of 3.4 percent and 3.6 percent, respectively. The Company’s total combined consolidated and unconsolidated debt has a weighted-average interest rate of 3.4 percent. As of June 30, 2015, the Company had $400.0 million outstanding in the form of unsecured term loans and a $310.0 million outstanding balance on its $450.0 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility, and the Company had $46.7 million of consolidated cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, and $11.2 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 its six-hotel joint venture (the “Manhattan Collection”).

On June 30, 2015, as defined in the Company’s credit agreement, the Company’s fixed charge coverage ratio was 3.1 times and total net debt to trailing 12-month corporate EBITDA was 4.9 times. Excluding its interest in the off-balance sheet Manhattan Collection, the Company’s fixed charge coverage ratio was 3.2 times, and net debt to trailing 12-month corporate EBITDA was 4.6 times.

Capital Markets

During the second quarter, Pebblebrook completed three capital markets transactions to help maintain its strong balance sheet and prudent capital structure, including executing new term loans and increasing the capacity of its senior unsecured revolving credit facility:

  • On April 13, 2015, the Company successfully completed a new 7-year, $100.0 million unsecured term loan facility. The new term loan matures in April 2022, and the Company effectively fixed its LIBOR rate for the entire term of the loan by entering into interest rate swap agreements, resulting in a current interest rate of 3.46 percent, based on the Company’s current leverage levels.
  • On May 19, 2015, the Company increased the capacity of its senior unsecured revolving credit facility from $600.0 million to $750.0 million. The increased credit facility is now composed of a $450.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility and the existing $300.0 million unsecured term loan. The credit facility matures in January 2020.
  • On June 10, 2015, the Company executed a new $125.0 million unsecured term loan facility. The new term loan funded on July 10, 2015, with the proceeds used to pay down outstanding borrowings on the Company’s revolving credit facility. The Company effectively fixed its LIBOR rate for the entire term of the loan by entering into interest rate swap agreements, resulting in a current interest rate of 3.29 percent, based on the Company’s current leverage levels. The term loan matures in January 2021.

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 above-market loans: The Company excludes interest expense adjustment for above-market loans 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.
