Completes Over $1 Billion of Hotel Investment in 2005

 

SAN CLEMENTE, CA – February 15, 2006 – Sunstone Hotel Investors, Inc. (the “Company”) (NYSE: SHO) today announced results of operations for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2005.

 

FOURTH QUARTER 2005 HIGHLIGHTS:

 

    Same-store revenue per available room (“RevPAR”) growth of 10.3%, excluding three assets under renovation, and 8.0% overall over fourth quarter 2004;

 

    Adjusted EBITDA of $53.2 million (116.2% increase over fourth quarter 2004);

 

    Adjusted Funds From Operations (“Adjusted FFO”) to common stockholders of $31.3 million (184.8% increase over fourth quarter 2004); and

 

    Adjusted FFO per diluted share of $0.56.

 

ANNUAL 2005 HIGHLIGHTS:

 

    Same-store RevPAR growth of 9.4%, excluding three assets under renovation, and 8.4% overall over annual 2004;

 

    Adjusted EBITDA of $167.4 million (39.8% increase over annual 2004);

 

    Adjusted FFO to common stockholders of $97.9 million (54.9% increase over annual 2004); and

 

    Adjusted FFO per diluted share of $2.12.

 

Robert A. Alter, Chief Executive Officer, stated “2005 was a defining year for Sunstone. We started out the year focused on capitalizing on our well positioned portfolio, acquiring quality assets in high barrier to entry markets, improving our balance sheet and completing the orderly sale of the Westbrook position. Looking back at 2005, our hotels performed strongly as evidenced by our year over year RevPAR gains, we acquired nine hotels including the Hyatt Regency Century Plaza, the Renaissance Washington D.C. and the Fairmont Newport Beach, we fixed 94% of our debt at an average rate under 6% and the Westbrook shares were completely sold. In 2006, we have continued to improve the overall quality and long term cash flow growth rate of our portfolio with the acquisition of the Marriott San Diego Del Mar and the announcement of the purchase agreement for the Hilton New York Times Square. We look forward to 2006 as we believe that hotel industry fundamentals will continue to show strong growth in demand and modest new competitive supply.”

    Total capital expenditures for the portfolio should be $20 million to $25 million.

 

Annual 2006 Outlook

 

The Company reiterates the previously provided guidance that it expects comparable hotel RevPAR for the full year 2006 to increase approximately 7% to 9% over the full year 2005. Based upon this guidance, the Company estimates that for the full year 2006:

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

We present the following non-GAAP financial measures that we believe are useful to investors as key measures of our operating performance: (1) Earnings Before Interest Expense, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization, or EBITDA; (2) Adjusted EBITDA (as defined below); (3) Funds From Operations, or FFO; (4) Adjusted FFO (as defined below); and (5) Hotel Operating Income for the purpose of our operating margins.

 

EBITDA represents income (loss) available to common stockholders before minority interest excluding: (1) preferred stock dividends; (2) interest expense (including prepayment penalties, if any); (3) provision for income taxes, including income taxes applicable to sale of assets; and (4) depreciation and amortization. In addition, we have presented Adjusted EBITDA, which excludes: (1) the impact of any gain or loss from asset sales: (2) impairment charges; and (3) other adjustments we have identified in this release. We believe EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA 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 preferred stock dividends) and our asset base (primarily depreciation and amortization) from our operating results. We also use EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as measures in determining the value of hotel acquisitions and dispositions. A reconciliation and the components of hotel operating income are set forth on page 13. We believe hotel operating income is also useful to investors in evaluating our property level operating performance.

 

We compute FFO in accordance with standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT, an industry trade group. The Board of Governors of NAREIT in its March 1995 White Paper (as clarified in November 1999 and April 2002) defines FFO to mean net income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains and losses from sales of property, plus real estate-related depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs), and after adjustment for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. We also present Adjusted FFO which excludes prepayment penalties, written-off deferred financing costs, impairment losses and other adjustments we have identified in this release. We believe that the presentation of FFO and Adjusted FFO provide useful information to investors regarding our operating performance because they are a measure of our operations without regard to specified non-cash items such as real estate depreciation and amortization, gain or loss on sale of assets and certain other items which we believe are not indicative of the performance of our underlying hotel properties. A reconciliation of net income (loss) to FFO and Adjusted FFO is set forth on page 10. We believe that these items are more representative of our asset base and our acquisition and disposition activities than our ongoing operations. We also use FFO as one measure in determining our results after taking into account the impact of our capital structure.

 

We caution investors that amounts presented in accordance with our definitions of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, FFO, Adjusted FFO and hotel operating income may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by other companies, since not all companies calculate these non-GAAP measures in the same manner. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, FFO, Adjusted FFO and hotel operating income should not be considered as an alternative measure of our net income (loss), operating performance, cash flow or liquidity. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, FFO, Adjusted FFO and hotel operating income may include funds that may not be available for our discretionary use due to functional requirements to conserve funds for capital expenditures and property acquisitions and other commitments and uncertainties. Although we believe that EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, FFO, Adjusted FFO and hotel operating income can enhance an investor’s understanding of our results of operations, these non-GAAP financial measures, when viewed individually, are not necessarily a better indicator of any trend as compared to GAAP measures such as net income (loss) or cash flow from operations. In addition, you should be aware that adverse economic and market conditions may harm our cash flow.
