LaSalle Hotel Properties LHO today announced results for the quarter ended September 30, 2015. The Company's results are summarized below in two tables. The results in Table 1 reflect the Company's entire portfolio. Table 2 isolates the negative impact of a one-time event at Park Central New York and WestHouse (collectively "PCNY/WH") and normalizes the Company's third quarter performance excluding this event. Throughout this release, the Company estimates the negative impact based on the PCNY/WH actual results for August and September 2015 versus their forecast for that period as of August 1, 2015.

Park Central New York and WestHouse
The Company transitioned management companies at three of its hotels in San Francisco in July. As a result of these transitions, in late August, the hotel workers' union (the "Union") alleged health and safety violations at two of the Company's hotels in Manhattan: Park Central New York and WestHouse. These allegations were a targeted attack against the Company. Despite the fact that neither hotel has received any New York City or New York State health or safety violations during or since the time the allegations began, both hotels had no choice but to test against all claims.
In order to adequately test for these alleged issues, the Park Central New York and WestHouse were forced to close many of their available rooms during the final six weeks of the third quarter and for the first three weeks of the fourth quarter. As a result, during September, both hotels combined ran 14.5 percent occupancy and room revenue per available room ("RevPAR") at the two hotels decreased by 85.1 percent compared to the prior year. For the third quarter, RevPAR at the two hotels decreased by 37.8 percent compared to prior year.

This conflict with the Union is now resolved, all hotel rooms are reopened, and both hotels are back to normal operations.
As shown above in Table 2, the temporary interruption at PCNY/WH negatively impacted the Company's portfolio-wide third quarter results, including decreasing RevPAR by 320 basis points, reducing hotel EBITDA margin by 125 basis points, displacing $7.2 million of hotel EBITDA, and lowering adjusted FFO by $4.2 million, which was partially offset by income tax savings. The Company also incurred $4.6 million in one-time costs while testing for the alleged issues, including guest relocation, clean up, legal, and payroll. Excluding the negative impact from this isolated issue, the Company's third quarter results would have been within its previously disclosed third quarter outlook range for adjusted EBITDA.
Given that the disruption at PCNY/WH continued into October, the Company's portfolio-wide fourth quarter results will also be impacted. The estimated fourth quarter impact to the portfolio is 150 basis points of RevPAR growth, 44 basis points of EBITDA margin expansion and $3.0 million of hotel EBITDA.
Third Quarter Results and Activities
- RevPAR: RevPAR for the quarter ended September 30, 2015 decreased 2.4 percent to $210.74, as a result of a 0.3 percent increase in average daily rate ("ADR") to $245.71 and a 2.7 percent decrease in occupancy to 85.8 percent. Excluding the lost revenue at PCNY/WH in August and September 2015, RevPAR would have increased by 0.8 percent.
- Hotel EBITDA Margin: The Company's hotel EBITDA margin for the third quarter decreased 9 basis points from the comparable prior year period to 36.3 percent. Excluding the impact at PCNY/WH, the Company's hotel EBITDA margin for the third quarter would have increased by 116 basis points from the comparable prior year period to 37.6 percent.
- Adjusted EBITDA: The Company's adjusted EBITDA was $114.6 million, an increase of 5.2 percent over the third quarter of 2014. Excluding the impact at PCNY/WH, the Company's adjusted EBITDA would have been $121.8 million, which would have been an increase of 11.8 percent over the third quarter of 2014.
- Adjusted FFO: The Company generated third quarter adjusted FFO of $98.8 million, or $0.87 per diluted share/unit, compared to $88.3 million, or $0.85 per diluted share/unit, for the comparable prior year period, a per share/unit increase of 2.4 percent. Excluding the impact at PCNY/WH, the Company would have generated third quarter adjusted FFO of $103.0 million, or $0.91 per diluted share/unit.
- New Mezzanine Loan: On July 20, the Company provided an $80.0 million junior mezzanine loan (the "Mezzanine Loan") secured by equity interests in two hotels: Shutters on the Beach and Casa Del Mar, in Santa Monica, California. The interest only Mezzanine Loan bears interest at a variable rate equal to LIBOR plus 775 basis points, which translates to 7.95 percent as of October 21, 2015. The Mezzanine Loan has an initial two-year term, with five one-year extension options. The Mezzanine Loan is subordinate to a $235.0 million first mortgage loan and a $90.0 million senior mezzanine loan secured by the properties that both also have an initial two-year term, with five one-year extension options.
- Westin Copley Place Refinancing: Also on July 20, the Company closed on a new $225.0 million loan secured by the Westin Copley Place. The interest rate will range from LIBOR plus 175 basis points to LIBOR plus 200 basis points, depending on Westin Copley Place's net cash flow (as defined in the loan agreement). At the current interest rate of LIBOR plus 200 basis points, which translates to 2.20 percent, the Company would save approximately $6.0 million of interest expense annually compared to its previous loan on Westin Copley Place. The loan matures in January 2021, including three extension options, pursuant to certain terms and conditions.
- Dividend: On September 15, the Company declared a third quarter 2015 dividend of $0.45 per common share of beneficial interest. The dividend represents an annual run rate of $1.80 per share and a 5.8 percent yield based on the closing share price on October 21, 2015.
- Share Repurchase: During the third quarter, the Company acquired 184,742 common shares through its share repurchase program at a cost of $5.7 million and a weighted average price of $30.81 per share. The Company has $69.8 million of capacity remaining in its share repurchase program.
- Capital Investments: The Company invested $31.8 million of capital in its hotels, including $14.3 million of deposits for renovations scheduled to begin during the fourth quarter of 2015.

(1) Pre-opening, management transition and severance expenses include $4.6 million for Park Central New York/WestHouse one-time disruption expenses that include guest relocation expenses, clean up, legal, and payroll; $1.7 million for Park Central San Francisco severance in the food and beverage department; and $1.2 million for management transitions at three San Francisco properties. |
| 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, 2015 for the Company's period of ownership in 2015 and the comparable period in 2014, except for The Marker Waterfront Resort. |

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 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.
