Mark W.

Update on Insurance Claims

As previously disclosed, the Company has filed insurance claims resulting from the hurricanes that impacted Frenchman's Reef and Havana Cabana Key West in 2017, as well as from the 2017 wildfires in Northern California that impacted The Lodge at Sonoma.  During the third quarter of 2018, the Company settled the insurance claims for Havana Cabana Key West and The Lodge at Sonoma.  The Company recognized business interruption insurance income related to these insurance claims as follows:

Hotel

December 31, 2018

$3.1 million

$16.1 million



Havana Cabana Key West



$2.1 million



The Lodge at Sonoma



$1.2 million



Total

$3.1 million

$19.4 million



 

The Company is in the process of rebuilding Frenchman's Reef following the significant damage caused by the hurricanes in 2017 and the resort is expected to reopen in 2020.  Under its insurance policy, the Company is entitled to be compensated for, among other things, the cost to replace the damaged property, as well as lost profits during the rebuilding period.  The Company and its insurers are currently in discussions and litigation regarding the Company's insurance claim.

Capital Expenditures

The Company invested approximately $115.2 million in capital improvements at its hotels during the year ended December 31, 2018, which included the following significant projects:

  • Chicago Marriott Downtown: The Company substantially completed the hotel's multi-year renovation, which included the remaining 258 of 1,200 guest rooms and 60,000 square feet of meeting space.
  • Havana Cabana Key West:  The Company completed a comprehensive renovation of the hotel as part of the remediation of the substantial wind and water-related damage caused by Hurricane Irma.  The hotel reopened as the Havana Cabana Key West in April 2018.
  • Bethesda Marriott Suites:  The Company completed a renovation of the guestrooms at the hotel during the first quarter.
  • Westin Boston Waterfront Hotel:  The Company completed a refresh of the hotel's guest rooms during the first quarter.
  • Vail Marriott:  The Company completed a renovation of the hotel's guest rooms and meeting space in the third quarter.
  • Westin Fort Lauderdale Beach Resort:  The Company completed a renovation of the hotel's guest rooms in the third quarter.
  • Hotel Emblem San Francisco: The Company substantially completed a comprehensive renovation and re-positioning of the former Hotel Rex as the Hotel Emblem San Francisco, part of Viceroy's Urban Retreats Collection, in the fourth quarter. The hotel closed for approximately four months during renovation and reopened in January 2019.

DiamondRock expects to invest approximately $125 million on capital improvements at its hotels in 2019, which includes carryover of $20 million from certain projects that commenced in 2018.  Significant projects in 2019 include the following:

  • JW Marriott Denver:  The Company commenced a renovation of the hotel's guest rooms and meeting space in January 2019 and will renovate the public space later this year.  The renovation is expected to secure the hotel's position as the top luxury hotel in the high-end Cherry Creek submarket of Denver.
  • Sheraton Suites Key West: The Company expects to complete a comprehensive renovation of the hotel, which will include upgrades to the resort's entrance, lobby, restaurant, outdoor lounge, pool area and guestrooms.  In order to minimize disruption, the renovation is expected to occur from August to November, the hotel's slowest period of the year.
  • The Lodge at Sonoma: The Company expects to enhance the cottage rooms and landscaping to better align the hotel with the luxury competition in the market, reposition the restaurant with a new concept from world-renowned chef, Michael Mina, and enhance the spa to a luxury level.  The Company is also evaluating a brand change for the hotel.
  • Vail Marriott: The Company expects to complete the second phase of the hotel renovation, which includes the upgrade renovation of the spa and fitness center.  The scope of this project is consistent with the Company's multi-phased strategy to renovate the hotel to a luxury standard.
  • Worthington Renaissance: The Company expects to renovate the lobby and reposition the restaurant outlets during the third quarter of 2019.

Hotel Acquisition Activity

The Company acquired three hotels during 2018 for a combined investment of $274 million.  On March 1, 2018, the Company acquired the 77-room Landing Resort & Spa in South Lake Tahoe, California for $42 million, or $545,000 per key.  The Landing is a premier luxury resort with one of the best locations in Lake Tahoe.  Also on March 1, 2018, the Company acquired the 242-room Hotel Palomar in Phoenix, Arizona for $80 million, or $331,000 per key.  The Hotel Palomar is a highly-rated boutique hotel located in the heart of the CityScape mixed-use project in downtown Phoenix.

On December 12, 2018, the Company acquired the 142-room Cavallo Point, the Lodge at the Golden Gate for total consideration of $152 millionCavallo Point is a premier luxury hotel located in the Golden Gate National Recreation Area in Sausalito, California and has been ranked #1 Best Hotel in the San Francisco Bay Area by Travel + Leisure magazine.  In connection with the acquisition, the Company issued 796,684 units of common limited partnership interests in the Company's Operating Partnership to certain of the sellers at $11.76 per unit.  Additionally, the Company entered into a new five-year $50 million unsecured term loan for purposes of maintaining qualified non-recourse debt associated with the property.

Balance Sheet

As of December 31, 2018, the Company had $43.9 million of unrestricted cash on hand and approximately $978.0 million of total debt, which consisted of property-specific mortgage debt, $350.0 million of unsecured term loans and no outstanding borrowings on its $300.0 million senior unsecured credit facility.  Subsequent to December 31, 2018, the Company borrowed $45.0 million on its senior unsecured credit facility.

Share Repurchase & ATM Programs

The Company has repurchased 6.5 million shares of its common stock at an average price of $9.50 per share since it began repurchasing shares in December 2018.  The Company repurchased 3.4 million shares of its common stock at an average price of $9.49 per share for a total purchase price of $32.2 million during the fourth quarter of 2018.  Subsequent to December 31, 2018, the Company repurchased 3.1 million shares of its common stock at an average price of $9.52 per share for a total purchase price of $30.0 million.  The Company has $188 million of remaining authorized capacity under its $250 million share repurchase program.

Earlier in 2018, the Company opportunistically sold approximately 7.5 million shares of its common stock at an average price of $12.56 per share under its "at-the-market" (ATM) equity offering program.

Guidance

The Company is providing annual guidance for 2019, but does not undertake to update it for any developments in its business. Achievement of the anticipated results is subject to the risks disclosed in the Company's filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Comparable RevPAR growth assumes all of the Company's hotels were owned as of January 1, 2018, but excludes Havana Cabana Key West for January 1 to March 31, 2018 and 2019, Hotel Emblem for September 1 to December 31, 2018 and 2019 and Frenchman's Reef for all periods.

The Company expects the full year 2019 results to be as follows:

Metric

Low End

High End





(Includes Frenchman's Reef Business Interruption Agreed Upon For Partial Year 2019)



Comparable RevPAR Growth

0.5 percent

$268 million



Adjusted FFO

$204 million

$214 million



Adjusted FFO per share (based on 205 million diluted shares)

$1.00 per share

$1.04 per share



 

The guidance above incorporates business interruption insurance income related to Frenchman's Reef of only $8.8 million, which is less than the $16.1 million recognized in 2018.  The Company believes it is entitled to at least $16.1 million of business interruption insurance income for the full year 2019, but the insurers have only agreed to $8.8 million at this time, which represents lost profits through April 2019.  The Company continues to negotiate with its insurers to recover all of the amounts to which it believes it is legally entitled, but the timing of a resolution is uncertain.  The following chart provides a quarterly comparison of income received from business interruption insurance in 2018 and projected for 2019:

Frenchman's Reef BI Income

Quarter 4

$2.0 million

$5.7 million

$3.1 million

$16.1 million

2019

$8.8 million

TBD

$8.8 million + TBD

 

The Company's guidance also incorporates the following assumptions:

  • Renovation disruption of approximately $3 million to $4 million to Hotel Adjusted EBITDA;
  • Corporate expenses of $28.5 million to $29.5 million;
  • Interest expense of $49 million to $50 million;
  • Income tax expense of $2 million to $5 million; and
  • No additional share repurchases.

The Company expects approximately 17% to 19% of its full year 2019 Adjusted EBITDA to be earned during the first quarter of 2019.  Based on seasonality, group patterns and the impact of the government shutdown, the Company expects the first quarter to be its lowest growth quarter of the year with modestly positive RevPAR growth.  The Company expects significant acceleration of RevPAR growth in the second and third quarters due to the benefit from recent renovations, asset management initiatives at newly acquired hotels and an easy comparison from the 2018 merger integration challenges at the Westin Boston.

Selected Quarterly Comparable Operating Information

The following table is presented to provide investors with selected quarterly comparable operating information.  The operating information includes the Company's 2018 acquisitions for all periods and excludes Havana Cabana Key West for January 1, 2018 to March 31, 2018, Hotel Emblem for September 1, 2018 to December 31, 2018 and Frenchman's Reef for all periods.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We use the following non-GAAP financial measures that we believe are useful to investors as key measures of our operating performance: EBITDA, EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDA, Hotel EBITDA, Hotel Adjusted EBITDA, FFO and Adjusted FFO. These measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance in accordance with U.S. GAAP.  EBITDA, EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDA, Hotel EBITDA, Hotel Adjusted EBITDA, FFO and Adjusted FFO, as calculated by us, may not be comparable to other companies that do not define such terms exactly as the Company.

Use and Limitations of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Our management and Board of Directors use EBITDA, EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDA, Hotel EBITDA, Hotel Adjusted EBITDA, FFO and Adjusted FFO to evaluate the performance of our hotels and to facilitate comparisons between us and other lodging REITs, hotel owners who are not REITs and other capital intensive companies. The use of these non-GAAP financial measures has certain limitations. These non-GAAP financial measures as presented by us, may not be comparable to non-GAAP financial measures as calculated by other real estate companies. These measures do not reflect certain expenses or expenditures that we incurred and will incur, such as depreciation, interest and capital expenditures. We compensate for these limitations by separately considering the impact of these excluded items to the extent they are material to operating decisions or assessments of our operating performance. Our reconciliations to the most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures, and our consolidated statements of operations and cash flows, include interest expense, capital expenditures, and other excluded items, all of which should be considered when evaluating our performance, as well as the usefulness of our non-GAAP financial measures.

These non-GAAP financial measures are used in addition to and in conjunction with results presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. They should not be considered as alternatives to operating profit, cash flow from operations, or any other operating performance measure prescribed by U.S. GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures reflect additional ways of viewing our operations that we believe, when viewed with our U.S. GAAP results and the reconciliations to the corresponding U.S. GAAP financial measures, provide a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business than could be obtained absent this disclosure. We strongly encourage investors to review our financial information in its entirety and not to rely on a single financial measure.

EBITDA, EBITDAre and FFO

EBITDA represents net income (calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP) excluding: (1) interest expense; (2) provision for income taxes, including income taxes applicable to sale of assets; and (3) depreciation and amortization.  The Company computes EBITDAre in accordance with the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("Nareit") guidelines, as defined in its September 2017 white paper "Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization for Real Estate."  EBITDAre represents net income (calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP) adjusted for: (1) interest expense; (2) provision for income taxes, including income taxes applicable to sale of assets; (3) depreciation and amortization; (4) gains or losses on the disposition of depreciated property including gains or losses on change of control; (5) 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 (6) adjustments to reflect the entity's share of EBITDAre of unconsolidated affiliates.

We believe EBITDA and EBITDAre are useful to an investor in evaluating our operating performance because they help investors evaluate and compare the results of our operations from period to period by removing the impact of our capital structure (primarily interest expense) and our asset base (primarily depreciation and amortization, and in the case of EBITDAre, impairment and gains or losses on dispositions of depreciated property) from our operating results. In addition, covenants included in our debt agreements use EBITDA as a measure of financial compliance. We also use EBITDA and EBITDAre as measures in determining the value of hotel acquisitions and dispositions.

The Company computes FFO in accordance with standards established by the Nareit, which defines FFO as net income determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, excluding gains or losses from sales of properties and impairment losses, plus real estate related depreciation and amortization. The Company believes that the presentation of FFO provides useful information to investors regarding its operating performance because it is a measure of the Company's operations without regard to specified non-cash items, such as real estate related depreciation and amortization and gains or losses on the sale of assets.  The Company also uses FFO as one measure in assessing its operating results.

Hotel EBITDA

Hotel EBITDA represents net income excluding:  (1) interest expense, (2) income taxes, (3) depreciation and amortization, (4) corporate general and administrative expenses (shown as corporate expenses on the consolidated statements of operations), and (5) hotel acquisition costs. We believe that Hotel EBITDA provides our investors a useful financial measure to evaluate our hotel operating performance, excluding the impact of our capital structure (primarily interest), our asset base (primarily depreciation and amortization), and our corporate-level expenses (corporate expenses and hotel acquisition costs).  With respect to Hotel EBITDA, we believe that excluding the effect of corporate-level expenses provides a more complete understanding of the operating results over which individual hotels and third-party management companies 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.

Adjustments to EBITDA, FFO and Hotel EBITDA

We adjust EBITDA, FFO and Hotel EBITDA when evaluating our performance because we believe that the exclusion of certain additional items described below provides useful supplemental information to investors regarding our ongoing operating performance and that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted FFO and Hotel Adjusted EBITDA when combined with U.S. GAAP net income, EBITDA, FFO and Hotel EBITDA, is beneficial to an investor's complete understanding of our consolidated and property-level operating performance.  Hotel Adjusted EBITDA margins are calculated as Hotel Adjusted EBITDA divided by total hotel revenues.

We adjust EBITDA, FFO and Hotel EBITDA for the following items:

  • Non-Cash Ground Rent: We exclude the non-cash expense incurred from the straight line recognition of rent from our ground lease obligations and the non-cash amortization of our favorable lease assets.  We exclude these non-cash items because they do not reflect the actual rent amounts due to the respective lessors in the current period and they are of lesser significance in evaluating our actual performance for that period.
  • Non-Cash Amortization of Favorable and Unfavorable Contracts: We exclude the non-cash amortization of the favorable and unfavorable contracts recorded in conjunction with certain acquisitions because the non-cash amortization is based on historical cost accounting and is of lesser significance in evaluating our actual performance for that period.
  • Cumulative Effect of a Change in Accounting Principle: The Financial Accounting Standards Board promulgates new accounting standards that require or permit the consolidated statement of operations to reflect the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle.  We exclude the effect of these adjustments, which include the accounting impact from prior periods, because they do not reflect the Company's actual underlying performance for the current period.
  • Gains or Losses from Early Extinguishment of Debt: We exclude the effect of gains or losses recorded on the early extinguishment of debt because these gains or losses result from transaction activity related to the Company's capital structure that we believe are not indicative of the ongoing operating performance of the Company or our hotels.
  • Hotel Acquisition Costs:  We exclude hotel acquisition costs expensed during the period because we believe these transaction costs are not reflective of the ongoing performance of the Company or our hotels.
  • Severance Costs:  We exclude corporate severance costs, or reversals thereof, incurred with the termination of corporate-level employees and severance costs incurred at our hotels related to lease terminations or structured severance programs because we believe these costs do not reflect the ongoing performance of the Company or our hotels.
  • Hotel Manager Transition Items:  We exclude the transition items associated with a change in hotel manager because we believe these items do not reflect the ongoing performance of the Company or our hotels.
  • Other Items:  From time to time we incur costs or realize gains that we consider outside the ordinary course of business and that we do not believe reflect the ongoing performance of the Company or our hotels.  Such items may include, but are not limited to, the following: pre-opening costs incurred with newly developed hotels; lease preparation costs incurred to prepare vacant space for marketing; management or franchise contract termination fees; gains or losses from legal settlements; costs incurred related to natural disasters; and gains from insurance proceeds, other than income related to business interruption insurance.

In addition, to derive Adjusted FFO we exclude any fair value adjustments to derivative instruments.  We exclude these non-cash amounts because they do not reflect the underlying performance of the Company.

Comparable Hotel Operating Expenses

The following table sets forth hotel operating expenses for the three months and years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 for each of the hotels that we owned during these periods.  Our GAAP hotel operating expenses for the three months and years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 consisted of the line items set forth below (dollars in thousands) under the column titled "As Reported."  The amounts reported in this column include amounts that are not comparable period-over-period. In order to reflect the period in 2018 comparable to 2017, the amounts in the column titled "Adjustments for Acquisitions" represent the pre-acquisition operating costs of The Landing Resort & Spa and the Hotel Palomar for the period from January 1, 2018 to February 28, 2018 and January 1, 2017 to December 31, 2017, Cavallo Point for the period from January 1, 2018 to December 9, 2018 and January 1, 2018 to December 31, 2017 and the L'Auberge de Sedona and Orchards Inn Sedona for the period from January 1, 2017 to February 27, 2017.  The amounts in the column titled "Adjustments for Closed Hotels" represent the operating costs for all periods presented of Frenchman's Reef and Havana Cabana Key West and Hotel Emblem from September 1, 2018 to December 31, 2018 and the comparable period of 2017. Both Frenchman's Reef and Havana Cabana Key West closed in early September 2017 in advance of Hurricane Irma. Havana Cabana Key West reopened in April 2018 and Frenchman's Reef remains closed.  Hotel Emblem closed on September 4, 2018 for a comprehensive renovation and reopened in January 2019.  We provide this important supplemental information to our investors because this information provides a useful means for investors to measure our operating performance on a comparative basis.  See the column titled "Comparable."

 These non-GAAP financial measures are used in addition to and in conjunction with results presented in accordance with GAAP in this release.  They should not be considered as alternatives to operating profit, cash flow from operations, or any other operating performance measure prescribed by GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures reflect additional ways of viewing our operations at our hotels that we believe, when viewed with our GAAP results and the reconciliations to the corresponding GAAP financial measures, provide a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business than could be obtained absent this disclosure. We strongly encourage investors to review our financial information in its entirety and not to rely on a single financial measure. In particular, we note the pre-acquisition operating results set forth in the column titled "Adjustments for Acquisitions" were obtained from the respective sellers of the hotels during the acquisition due diligence process.  We have made no adjustments to the amounts provided to us by the respective sellers.  The pre-acquisition operating results were not audited or reviewed by our independent auditors.
