     “Our decision last year to move early and decisively to right size our operations to the deteriorating economic conditions continued to produce impressive results during the First Quarter” said Scott C. Petersen, LodgeNet Chairman and CEO.  “Our proactive approach to reduce operating costs and capital investment levels, while continuing to focus on the expansion of our strategic growth initiatives that are directed at building non-guest entertainment revenues, again drove a significant expansion in free cash flow and a major reduction in our consolidated debt levels.”
     First Quarter operating highlights include:
    Total Revenue: $128.1 million this year, off 8.4% from $139.8 million last year.
 
    Strategic Growth Initiatives: revenue up 27% to $51.6 million; and, gross profit up 94% to $9.1 million.
 
    Operating Expenses: reduced 32% to $20.8 million this year from $30.6 million in 2008.
 
    Adjusted Operating Cash Flow*: stable quarter over quarter at $34.6 million.
 
    Cash from Operations: up 76% to $20.9 million this year from $11.9 million last year.
 
    Capital Investment: lowered 72% to $5.3 million this quarter, compared to $18.9 million in 2008.
 
    Free Cash Flow**: equaled $17.2 million this year compared to $(1.0) million in the first quarter of 2008.
 
    Consolidated Debt: reduced $39.7 million during the first quarter of 2009; equaled $548.8 million as of March 31; leverage ratio equals 4.04x as compared to the covenant requirement of 4.25x.
     “While we have seen some signs of stabilization in the travel economy, the operating environment remains challenging,” continued Petersen.  “We will continue to take a very conservative approach to operating expenses and capital expenditures. During the next two quarters, we anticipate that we will maintain Systems Operations and SG&A expenses within the $21 to $23 million per quarter range, and we will hold our quarterly capital investment program to the $5 to $6 million level pending an improvement in the economy. As a result, we will continue to be in a position to allocate the majority of our cash from operations to reducing our debt and leverage ratio. We remain absolutely committed to maintaining compliance with our debt leverage covenants throughout 2009 and believe we are taking the necessary steps to do so.”
RESULTS FROM OPERATIONS
THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2009 VERSUS
THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2008
     Total revenue for the first quarter of 2009 was $128.1 million, a decrease of $11.7 million or 8.4%, compared to the first quarter of 2008. The decrease in revenue was from Guest Entertainment services, offset, in part, by revenue increases from Hotel Services, System Sales and Professional Services to hotels and System Sales to hospitals. The average monthly total revenue per room was $22.99 for the first quarter of 2009 compared to $25.12 for the first quarter of 2008, a decrease of 8.5%.
     Hospitality revenue, which includes Guest Entertainment, Hotel Services, and System Sales and Related Services, decreased $13.0 million, or 9.5%, to $124.0 million for the first quarter of 2009 as compared to $137.0 million for the prior year quarter. As a result of the current state of the economy, hotel occupancy declined by 12.2% during the first quarter 2009 compared to the same period last year. Average monthly Hospitality revenue per room was $22.26 for the first quarter of 2009, a decrease of 9.6% as compared to $24.62 per room in the first quarter of 2008.
     Guest Entertainment revenue, which includes on-demand entertainment such as movies, games, music, and Internet access through the television, decreased $22.7 million, or 22.9%, to $76.5 million in the first quarter of 2009. The decline resulted from reduction in occupancy rates and a cautious consumer environment.  On a per-room basis, monthly Guest Entertainment revenue for the first quarter of 2009 declined 23.0% to $13.73 compared to $17.83 for the first quarter of 2008.  Average monthly movie revenue per room was $12.93 for the first quarter of 2009, a 21.7% reduction as compared to $16.51 per room in the prior year quarter. 

 


 

     Hotel Services revenue, which includes revenue paid by hotels for television programming and broadband Internet service and support, increased $3.5 million or 11.8%, to $32.9 million in the first quarter of 2009 versus $29.4 million for the first quarter of 2008. On a per-room basis, monthly Hotel Services revenue for the first quarter of 2009 increased 11.5% to $5.90 compared to $5.29 for the first quarter of 2008.  Monthly television programming revenue per room increased 12.8% to $5.37 for the first quarter of 2009 as compared to $4.76 for the first quarter of 2008.  This increase resulted primarily from the continued installation of high definition television systems and related TV programming services.  Recurring broadband Internet revenue per room for the first quarter of 2009 was $0.51 compared to $0.53 for the first quarter of 2008.
     System Sales and Related Services, including the sales of broadband Internet equipment, TV programming reception equipment, Internet conference services and HDTV installations services to hotels, increased $6.3 million or 74.9%, to $14.7 million for the first quarter of 2009 as compared to $8.4 million for the first quarter of 2008. During the quarter, we completed a large HDTV equipment conversion contract, which contributed approximately $4.2 million of the increase.
     Other Revenue, including the sale of interactive systems and services to Healthcare facilities and revenue from Advertising and Media Services, increased $1.3 million or 45.2%, to $4.1 million during the first quarter of 2009 versus $2.8 million in the first quarter of 2008. For the first quarter of 2009, Healthcare revenue increased by $1.6 million and Advertising and Media revenue decreased by $0.3 million, or 16.1%, versus the prior year quarter.
     Total direct costs (exclusive of operating expenses and depreciation and amortization discussed separately below) decreased 3.6% or $2.8 million, to $73.1 million in the first quarter of 2009 as compared to $75.9 million in the first quarter of 2008.  The decrease in total direct costs was primarily due to decreased hotel commissions and royalties of $8.5 million, which varies with revenue, offset, in part, by increases in the amount paid for TV programming of $2.5 million, which varies with the number of rooms served, and incremental equipment and service direct costs of $4.4 million, which varies with revenue.  Total direct costs as a percentage of revenue were 57.1% this quarter as compared to 54.3% reported for the first quarter of 2008.  The percentage increase resulted from a change in the composition of our revenue, quarter over quarter, driven by the increased percentage of revenue generated by TV programming and system sales, which generally have a lower margin.
     System Operations expenses decreased $5.1 million or 32.9%, to $10.3 million in the first quarter of 2009 as compared to $15.4 million in the first quarter of 2008. The decrease resulted from the synergies derived from the consolidation of the acquired On Command operations and our expense reduction initiatives implemented in the fourth quarter of 2008 and the first quarter of 2009. As a percentage of revenue, System Operations expenses were 8.1% this quarter as compared to 11.0% in the first quarter of 2008. Per average installed room, System Operations expenses decreased 33.2% to $1.85 per room per month compared to $2.77 in the prior year quarter. Without certain targeted and temporary cost reduction initiatives implemented in the First Quarter, which we do not expect to necessarily recur, our monthly System Operations expenses per room would have been approximately $1.92.
     Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A) expenses decreased $4.8 million or 31.5%, from $15.2 million in the first quarter of 2008 to $10.4 million in the current quarter. This decrease also resulted from achieving the expected synergies related to the consolidation of duplicative general and administrative functions from our 2007 acquisitions and our expense reduction initiatives implemented in the fourth quarter of 2008 and the first quarter of 2009. As a percentage of revenue, SG&A expenses were 8.1% in the current quarter compared to 10.9% in the first quarter of 2008. SG&A expenses per average installed room decreased 31.8% to $1.87 as compared to $2.74 in the first quarter of 2008. Without certain targeted and temporary cost reduction initiatives implemented in the First Quarter, which we do not expect to necessarily recur, the monthly expenses per room would have been approximately $1.99.
     Depreciation and amortization expenses were $27.1 million in the first quarter of 2009 as compared to $33.1 million in the first quarter of 2008. The decline was due to certain acquired assets becoming fully depreciated and the reduction in capital investments. The current quarter’s depreciation and amortization expenses included $2.5 million of expense related to the amortization of acquired intangibles from the acquisition of StayOnline and On Command versus $3.2 million in the first quarter of 2008. As a percentage of revenue, total depreciation and amortization expenses were 21.1% in the first quarter of 2009 as compared to 23.7% in the first quarter of 2008.
     For the first quarter of 2009, we incurred reduction in force expenses of $0.1 million related to our reorganization initiatives. In the first quarter of 2008, we incurred $2.0 million for the personnel reduction related to the acquisition of On Command and StayOnline. The restructuring and reduction in force expenses were primarily related to employee severance and the consolidation of remote offices.

 


 

     During the first quarter of 2009, as part of our debt reduction plan, we acquired, through a wholly-owned subsidiary as a permitted investment under our Credit Facility, $31.5 million of outstanding debt at 70.5% of par value and recorded a gain on the consolidation of that debt in the amount of $9.3 million. During the quarter, we also paid down $8.2 million of debt, of which $6.6 million was at the election of the Company, and, as a result, incurred a $0.5 million loss on early retirement of debt.
     Interest expense was $9.9 million in the current quarter versus $11.0 million in the first quarter of 2008. The decrease primarily resulted from the change in weighted average long-term debt, which decreased to $570.9 million during the first quarter of 2009 from $626.1 million in the first quarter of 2008. The weighted average interest rate during the first quarter of 2009 was 6.92% versus 7.01% for the first quarter 2008.
     As a result of factors previously described, Adjusted Operating Cash Flow, a non-GAAP measure which we define as operating income (loss) exclusive of depreciation, amortization, share-based compensation, impairment, restructuring, integration and reorganization expenses, was $34.6 million for this quarter of 2009, the same amount reported for the first quarter of 2008. Restructuring, integration and reorganization expenses were $0.1 million in the first quarter of 2009 as compared to $2.8 million in the first quarter of 2008. Also in the first quarter of 2009, operating income increased $9.0 million to $7.1 million, as compared to an operating loss of $(1.8) million in the first quarter of 2008.
     Net income was $6.0 million for the first quarter of 2009, compared to a net loss of $(13.0) million in the prior year quarter. Net income per share for the first quarter of 2009 was $0.27 and $0.26 for basic and diluted, respectively, compared to net loss per basic and diluted share of $(0.57) in the first quarter of 2008. For the current quarter, net income included $2.6 million of acquisition related costs for restructuring, integration, reorganization and amortization of acquired intangibles as compared to $5.9 million during the same period of last year. The net income for 2009 also includes a gain of $9.3 million resulting from our purchase of the $31.5 million our long-term debt described above.
     For the first quarter of 2009, cash provided by operating activities was $20.9 million, after utilizing $1.5 million of cash for restructuring and reorganization related activities. Cash used for property and equipment additions, including growth related capital, was $5.3 million. During the quarter, we made the required Term B quarterly payment of $1.6 million and also paid $6.6 million of elective prepayments against the Term B portion of the Credit Facility. As part of the previously discussed debt reduction plan, we used $10.8 million of cash for the payment of acquired debt. During the first quarter of 2008, cash provided by operating activities was $11.9 million, after utilizing $6.0 million of cash for integration and restructuring related activities. Cash used for property and equipment additions for the prior year quarter, including growth-related capital and other investing activities, was $18.9 million. The company made the required Term B repayment of $1.6 million during the first quarter of 2008.
     Pursuant to our proactive management plan, we intentionally decreased our capital investment activities during the quarter. In the first quarter of 2009, we installed 5,400 new rooms and converted 2,636 rooms as compared to 15,065 new rooms and 17,835 converted rooms during the first quarter of 2008.  New HD installations comprised 4,403, or 81.5% of new systems installed in the current quarter, as compared to 8,090, or 53.7% of new rooms, in the first quarter of 2008.  During the quarter, all of our 2,636 converted rooms were HD as compared to 15,184, or 85.1% of converted rooms, in the first quarter of 2008. As we expected, the average investment cost per newly-installed HD room increased during the first quarter of 2009 from $413 in the first quarter of 2008 to $465, a result of a smaller average room size and a smaller room base to absorb certain fixed overhead cost, period over period.  The average investment per converted HD room also increased as expected by 2.6% to $357 during the first quarter of 2009, compared to $348 in the first quarter of 2008 because of the same factors noted above.
Outlook
     For the second quarter of 2009, LodgeNet expects to report revenue in the range of $124.0 million to $128.0 million. Adjusted Operating Cash Flow* in the second quarter of 2009 is expected to be in a range from $33.0 million to $37.0 million while Free Cash Flow** is anticipated to be in a range of $15.0 million to $16.0 million during the period. Additional guidance information for the second quarter of 2009 can be found in the Q1 2009 presentation slides, located under Company Presentations in the Investor Center section of the LodgeNet corporate website, www.lodgenet.com.
 
* Adjusted Operating Cash Flow is a non-GAAP measure which we define as Operating Income (Loss) exclusive of depreciation, amortization, share-based compensation, impairment, restructuring, integration and reorganization expenses and the effects of insurance recoveries.
** Free Cash Flow, a non-GAAP measure, is defined by the Company as cash provided by operating activities less cash used for investing activities, including growth related capital and further excludes cash used for restructuring, integration and reorganization activities and settlement of previously acquired debt.

 


 

     The Company will also host a teleconference to discuss its results April 22, 2009, at 5:00 P.M. Eastern Time. A live webcast of the teleconference will also be available via InterCall and can be accessed on the LodgeNet website at www.lodgenet.com. The webcast will be archived on the LodgeNet website for one month. Additionally, the Company has posted slides at its website under the For Investors, Company Presentations section, which will be referenced during the conference call.
Special Note Regarding the Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
     To supplement our consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), we use adjusted operating cash flow, adjusted net loss, free cash flow, and adjusted free cash flow, which are non-GAAP measures derived from results based on GAAP. The presentation of this additional information is not meant to be considered superior to, in isolation of, or as a substitute for, results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted operating cash flow is a non-GAAP measure which we define as operating income (loss) exclusive of depreciation, amortization, share-based compensation, impairment, restructuring, integration and reorganization expenses and the effects on insurance recoveries and equipment impairment included in Other Operating Income. Adjusted net loss is a non-GAAP measure which we define as net loss exclusive of amortization of purchased intangibles, debt refinancing, impairment, restructuring and reorganization charges and integration expenses. Adjusted free cash flow, a non-GAAP measure, is defined as free cash flow, as defined above, and further excludes the effect of cash consideration paid for acquisitions, debt tender, and integration, restructuring and reorganization activities. These non-GAAP measures are key liquidity indicators but should not be construed as an alternative to GAAP measures or as a measure of our profitability or performance. We provide information about these measures because we believe it is a useful way for us, and our investors, to measure our ability to satisfy cash needs, including one-time charges such as restructuring, reorganization or integration, interest payments on our debt, taxes and capital expenditures. Our method of computing these measures may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.
