FELCOR REPORTS SECOND QUARTER RESULTS
   
    •
Exceeds Expectations and Raises Guidance
  
                          
  •
Balance Sheet and Portfolio Improvement Continues
  

IRVING, Texas…August 3, 2010 - FelCor Lodging Trust Incorporated (NYSE: FCH) today reported operating results for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2010.

Summary:

 
•
RevPAR at our 83 consolidated hotels increased 5.6% for the quarter and 6.5% for June.
     
 
•
Adjusted EBITDA was $56.5 million for the quarter.  Adjusted FFO per share was $0.10 for the quarter, which was above analyst’s original expectations and $0.04 above the high-end of our internal expectations.
     
 
•
Positive flow-through on the improvement to budgeted revenue was 62%, even though the revenue improvement was driven largely by increased occupancy.  Hotel EBITDA margin decreased 27 basis points for the quarter, which was nearly 100 basis points better than internal expectations.
     
 
•
Net income for the quarter was $22.0 million.
     
 
•
Completed a public common stock offering, raising net proceeds of $167 million, after underwriting discounts and commissions.
     
 
•
Repaid loans totaling approximately $177 million for $130 million, a discount of nearly $50 million, and unencumbered two hotels.
     
 
•
Agreed to purchase the 383-room Fairmont Copley Plaza in Boston for $98.5 million, which is expected to close in the third quarter.

Second Quarter Operating Results:

Revenue per available room (“RevPAR”) for our 83 consolidated hotels was $90.62, a 5.6% increase compared to the same period in 2009.  Our RevPAR increase was driven by a 7.6% increase in occupancy to 74.4%, which was partially offset by a 1.9% decline in average daily rate (“ADR”), to $121.86, compared to the same period in 2009.  Occupancy increased during the quarter at 69 of our hotels and in nearly all of our markets.  RevPAR for our 83 consolidated hotels increased 6.5% during June, compared to prior year, as occupancy increased 6.2% and ADR increased 0.2%, compared to the same period in 2009.

“We are pleased with our performance this quarter, achieving better than expected operating results and significant improvement on our balance sheet.  Lodging fundamentals continue to improve, and occupancy is recovering faster than we anticipated.  As the lodging recovery takes hold and corporate demand improves, we are taking advantage of stronger occupancies to remix our customer base and drive ADR.  ADR for our portfolio increased during June for the first time in nearly two years, driven by an increase in transient ADR.  We are in the early stages of a recovery and expect the robust growth in demand to continue and supply growth to remain moderate.  This dynamic is building pricing power and leading to earlier and stronger EBITDA growth than previously anticipated,” said Richard A. Smith, FelCor’s President and Chief Executive Officer.

“We remain committed to improving long-term shareholder value by improving the overall quality and future growth rate of our portfolio through accretive transactions.  Due to the rapid improvement in lodging fundamentals and increased transaction volume, we could launch the second phase of asset sales as soon as the beginning of 2011.  However, we will sell hotels only when we receive adequate pricing.  As part of our long-term strategic plan, we will look to acquire hotels that fit our strategic and value criteria.  Acquiring the Fairmont Copley Plaza fits our strategy to improve and diversify our portfolio with expected returns in excess of our weighted average cost of capital.  We are excited to acquire this very special and irreplaceable asset, which we expect to have significantly stronger RevPAR and EBITDA growth than the industry.  At the same time, this transaction represents a rare opportunity to gain entry into this submarket at a significant discount to replacement cost,” added Mr. Smith.

Hotel EBITDA was $66.0 million, compared to $62.9 million for the same period in 2009, a 5% increase.  Hotel EBITDA margin was 26.5%, a 27 basis point decrease compared to 2009.  Positive flow-through on the improvement to budgeted revenue was 62%, even though the improvement was largely driven by increased occupancy.  Hotel EBITDA represents EBITDA generated by our 83 consolidated hotels prior to corporate expenses and joint venture adjustments.

Adjusted EBITDA was $56.5 million, compared to $55.9 million for the same period in 2009, a 1% increase.  Adjusted EBITDA in the prior year period includes $1.2 million of EBITDA from hotels sold in 2009.

Adjusted funds from operations (“FFO”) was $6.7 million, or $0.10 per share, compared to $20.9 million, or $0.33 per share, for the same period in 2009.  The change in Adjusted FFO largely reflects a $14.4 million increase in interest expense compared to the same period in 2009.

Net income attributable to common stockholders was $11.9 million, or $0.17 per share, compared to a net loss of $20.9 million, or $0.33 per share, for the same period in 2009.  Net income in the current year includes a $46.1 million gain on extinguishment of debt.

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Same Store Adjusted EBITDA, Hotel EBITDA, Hotel EBITDA margin, FFO, Adjusted FFO and Same-Store Adjusted FFO are all non-GAAP financial measures.  See our discussion of “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” beginning on page 14 for a reconciliation of each of these measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measure and for information regarding the use, limitations and importance of these non-GAAP financial measures.

Balance Sheet:

At June 30, 2010, we had $1.6 billion of consolidated debt outstanding, with a weighted average interest rate of 7.8%, and $281 million of cash and cash equivalents.

In June, we completed a public offering of 31,625,000 shares of our common stock at $5.50 per share.  The net proceeds from the offering, after underwriting discounts and commissions, were approximately $167 million.

In June, we repaid $177 million of secured debt for $130 million, a 27% discount to the principal balance, funded with cash on hand.  The two hotels that secured the loans, and are now unencumbered, have a combined 921 guest rooms and more than 100,000 square feet of meeting space.  The payment, approximately $141,000 per room, reflects a substantial discount to replacement cost.  We now own 11 unencumbered properties.

We continue to work with the special servicers of two loans totaling $32 million that matured in May 2010.  The cash flows for the hotels that secure those loans do not cover debt service, and we stopped funding the shortfalls in December 2009.  We have been unable to negotiate an acceptable debt modification or reduction that made sense for our stockholders with regard to these loans.  Therefore, we are in the process of transferring these two hotels to the lenders in full satisfaction of the debt.

“We remain committed to looking for opportunities that will strengthen our balance sheet and improve shareholder value.  We have been extremely diligent and unwavering in our efforts during the past two years.  During that time, we have successfully repositioned our balance sheet, including refinancing or repaying more than $1.5 billion of debt.  As a result, we pushed out maturities, unencumbered assets and resolved all our maturity and liquidity issues.  As cash flows recover and capital markets strengthen, we will look to capitalize on additional opportunities to strengthen our balance sheet,” said Andrew J. Welch, FelCor’s Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer.

Portfolio Management:

For the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2010, we spent $10.7 million and $19.2 million, respectively, on capital expenditures (including our pro rata share of joint venture expenditures) at our hotels.

We have agreed to acquire the Fairmont Copley Plaza in Boston for $98.5 million from an affiliate of Fairmont Hotels & Resorts (“Fairmont”).  This world-class historic hotel is located on Copley Square in the heart of Boston’s Back Bay neighborhood.  The property has 383 guest rooms and suites and 23,000 square feet of meeting space.  Fairmont will continue to manage the property under a long-term management agreement.  The purchase is expected to be completed in the third quarter, funded with cash on hand.

Outlook:

The pace of the recovery in the lodging industry continues to accelerate, reflecting improved corporate transient and group demand and moderating supply growth.  We expect our portfolio RevPAR to continue to outperform the industry as a result of our high-quality, renovated portfolio.  Additionally, our hotels are relatively less affected by new supply growth because the average number of rooms under construction in our markets is lower than the industry.

Our updated guidance reflects better than expected second quarter results, an improved second half outlook, our recently completed equity offering, repayment of $177 million in secured loans for $130 million and operating results from the Fairmont Boston for the period owned.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We refer in this release to certain “non-GAAP financial measures.”  These measures, including FFO, Adjusted FFO, Same-Store Adjusted FFO, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Same-Store Adjusted EBITDA, Hotel EBITDA and Hotel EBITDA margin, are measures of our financial performance that are not calculated and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).  The following tables reconcile each of these non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measure.  Immediately following the reconciliations, we include a discussion of why we believe these measures are useful supplemental measures of our performance and the limitations of such measures.

Substantially all of our non-current assets consist of real estate.  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 industry investors consider supplemental measures of performance, which are not measures of operating performance under GAAP, to be helpful in evaluating a real estate company’s operations.  These supplemental measures, including FFO, Adjusted FFO, Same-Store Adjusted FFO, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Same-Store Adjusted EBITDA, Hotel EBITDA and Hotel EBITDA margin, are not measures of operating performance under GAAP.  However, we consider these non-GAAP measures to be supplemental measures of a hotel REIT’s performance and should be considered along with, but not as an alternative to, net income (loss) attributable to FelCor as a measure of our operating performance.

FFO and EBITDA

The White Paper on Funds From Operations approved by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”), defines FFO as net income or loss attributable to parent (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains or losses from sales of property, plus depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.  Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures are calculated to reflect FFO on the same basis.  We compute FFO in accordance with standards established by NAREIT.  This 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 we do.

EBITDA is a commonly used measure of performance in many industries.  We define EBITDA as net income or loss attributable to parent (computed in accordance with GAAP) plus interest expenses, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.  Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures are calculated to reflect EBITDA on the same basis.

Adjustments to FFO and EBITDA

We adjust FFO and EBITDA when evaluating our performance because management believes that the exclusion of certain additional recurring and non-recurring items, including but not limited to these described below, provides useful supplemental information to investors regarding our ongoing operating performance and that the presentation of Adjusted FFO, Same-Store Adjusted FFO, Adjusted EBITDA and Same-Store Adjusted EBITDA when combined with GAAP net income attributable to FelCor, EBITDA and FFO, is beneficial to an investor’s better understanding of our operating performance.

 
·
Gains and losses related to extinguishment of debt and interest rate swaps – We exclude gains and losses related to extinguishment of debt and interest rate swaps from FFO and EBITDA because we believe that it is not indicative of ongoing operating performance of our hotel assets.  This also represents an acceleration of interest expense or a reduction of interest expense, and interest expense is excluded from EBITDA.

·
Impairment losses – We exclude the effect of impairment losses and gains or losses on disposition of assets in computing Adjusted FFO, Same-Store Adjusted FFO, Adjusted EBITDA and Same-Store Adjusted EBITDA, because we believe that including these is not consistent with reflecting the ongoing performance of our remaining assets.  Additionally, we believe that impairment charges and gains or losses on disposition of assets represent accelerated depreciation, or excess depreciation, and depreciation is excluded from FFO by the NAREIT definition and from EBITDA.

 
·
Cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle – Infrequently, the Financial Accounting Standards Board promulgates new accounting standards that require the consolidated statements of operations to reflect the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle.  We exclude these one-time adjustments in computing Adjusted FFO, Same-Store Adjusted FFO, Adjusted EBITDA and Same-Store Adjusted EBITDA because they do not reflect our actual performance for that period.

In addition, to derive Adjusted EBITDA and Same-Store Adjusted EBITDA, we exclude gains or losses on the sale of depreciable assets because we believe that including them in EBITDA is not consistent with reflecting the ongoing performance of our remaining assets.  Additionally, the gain or loss on sale of depreciable assets represents either accelerated depreciation or excess depreciation in previous periods, and depreciation is excluded from EBITDA.

Hotel EBITDA and Hotel EBITDA Margin

Hotel EBITDA and Hotel EBITDA margin are commonly used measures of performance in the hotel industry and give investors a more complete understanding of the operating results over which our individual hotels and operating managers have direct control.  We believe that Hotel EBITDA and Hotel EBITDA margin are useful to investors by providing greater transparency with respect to two significant measures used by us in our financial and operational decision-making.  Additionally, using these measures facilitates comparisons with other hotel REITs and hotel owners.  We present Hotel EBITDA and Hotel EBITDA margin by eliminating from continuing operations all revenues and expenses not directly associated with hotel operations including but not limited to corporate-level expenses; impairment losses; gains or losses on disposition of assets; and gains and losses related to extinguishment of debt.  We eliminate corporate-level costs and expenses because we believe property-level results provide investors with supplemental information into the ongoing operational performance of our hotels and the effectiveness of management on a property-level basis.  We exclude the effect of impairment losses, gains or losses on disposition of assets, and gains or losses related to extinguishment of debt because we believe that including these is not consistent with reflecting the ongoing performance of our remaining assets.  We also eliminate consolidated percentage rent paid to unconsolidated entities, which is effectively eliminated by noncontrolling interests and equity in income from unconsolidated subsidiaries, and include the cost of unconsolidated taxes, insurance and lease expense, to reflect the entire operating costs applicable to our hotels.  Hotel EBITDA and Hotel EBITDA margins are presented on a same-store basis.

Limitations of Non-GAAP Measures

Our management and Board of Directors use FFO, Adjusted FFO, Same-Store Adjusted FFO, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Same-Store Adjusted EBITDA, Hotel EBITDA and Hotel EBITDA margin to evaluate the performance of our hotels and to facilitate comparisons between us and lodging REITs, hotel owners who are not REITs and other capital intensive companies.  We use Hotel EBITDA and Hotel EBITDA margin in evaluating hotel-level performance and the operating efficiency of our hotel managers.

The use of these non-GAAP financial measures has certain limitations.  FFO, Adjusted FFO, Same-Store Adjusted FFO, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Same-Store Adjusted EBITDA, Hotel EBITDA and Hotel EBITDA margin, as presented by us, may not be comparable to the same measures as calculated by other real estate companies.  These measures do not reflect certain expenses that we incurred and will incur, such as depreciation and interest or capital expenditures.  Management compensates 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 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 GAAP.  They should not be considered as alternatives to operating profit, cash flow from operations, or any other operating performance measure prescribed by GAAP.  Neither should FFO, Adjusted FFO, Same-Store Adjusted FFO, Adjusted FFO per share, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA or Same-Store Adjusted EBITDA be considered as measures of our liquidity or indicative of funds available for our cash needs, including our ability to make cash distributions.  Adjusted FFO per share should not be used as a measure of amounts that accrue directly to the benefit of stockholders.  FFO, Adjusted FFO, Same-Store Adjusted FFO, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Same-Store Adjusted EBITDA, Hotel EBITDA and Hotel EBITDA margin reflect additional ways of viewing our operations 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.  Management strongly encourages investors to review our financial information in its entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure.
