-- Diluted earnings per share ("EPS") from continuing operations for the
three months ended June 30, 2014 totaled $0.60, an increase of 11
percent from the same period of 2013.
-- Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization
("EBITDA") from franchising activities for the three months ended June
30, 2014 totaled $66.6 million, an increase of 12 percent from the same
period of 2013.
-- Franchising revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2014 totaled
$93.8 million, an increase of 8 percent from the same period of 2013.
-- Franchising margins for the three months ended June 30, 2014 were 68.8

$71.2 million, an increase of 7 percent from the same period of 2013.
Domestic royalty fees for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014
and 2013 are based on our domestic franchisees' underlying gross room
revenues for the periods April 1 through June 30 and January 1 through
June 30 of 2014 and 2013, respectively. Domestic royalty fees based on
domestic franchisee gross room revenues from March 1 through May 31,
which corresponds to the Company's previous revenue recognition policy,
were $66.6 million and $62.2 million for 2014 and 2013, respectively.
-- Domestic unit and room growth increased 1.8 percent and 0.9 percent from
June 30, 2013, respectively.
-- Domestic system-wide revenue per available room ("RevPAR") increased 7.6
percent in the second quarter of 2014 as occupancy and average daily
rates increased 280 basis points and 2.9 percent, respectively from the
same period of 2013. RevPAR for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and
2013 are based on our domestic franchisees' underlying gross room
revenues for the period April 1 through June 30 of 2014 and 2013,
respectively.
-- The company executed 125 new domestic hotel franchise contracts for the
three months ended June 30, 2014, an increase of 20%, compared to 104
new domestic hotel franchise contracts for the same period of 2013.
-- The company's domestic pipeline of hotels under construction, awaiting
conversion or approved for development increased 16% from June 30, 2013.
"During the second quarter, momentum in our core lodging business was very strong and we are pleased with our performance, which exceeded our expectations. We achieved continued net domestic unit growth, strong development results and a nearly 8% percent increase in domestic RevPAR," said Stephen P. Joyce, president and chief executive officer. "These trends supported double-digit percentage EBITDA growth and meaningful franchising margin expansion. We are optimistic that our performance will continue to be strong in the second half of 2014."

Discontinued Operations
In the first quarter of 2014, the company entered into a plan to sell its three owned hotels operated under the MainStay Suites brand. The company determined that the disposal of these hotels met the definition of a discontinued operation since the operations and cash flows of these components will be eliminated from the on-going operations of the company and the company will not have significant continuing involvement in the operations of the hotels after the disposal transaction.
At June 30, 2014, the company had disposed of all three of the owned MainStay Suites hotels and the new owners of each of those hotels had executed new franchise agreements with the company.
The company's consolidated statements of income for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2014 reflect these three company-owned hotels as discontinued operations. In addition, the company's statements of income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 have been reclassified to account for these operations as discontinued. Summarized financial information related to these discontinued operations is presented in Exhibit 9 of this press release.
Outlook
The company's consolidated 2014 outlook reflects continued growth of the company's core hotel franchising business, continued investment in the SkyTouch division and the sale of the three company-owned Mainstay Suites hotels described above as well as the following assumptions:
-- All figures assume no repurchases of common stock under the company's
share repurchase program; and
-- The effective tax rate for continuing operations is expected to be 30.7%
for the third quarter and full-year 2014.
Franchising
-- EBITDA from franchising activities for full-year 2014 are expected to
range between $231 million and $234 million;
-- Approximately $2.5 million of the $3 million increase at the mid-point
of our franchising EBITDA outlook compared to the outlook we furnished
on April 28, 2014 in conjunction with our first quarter 2014 earnings
announcement is due to year-to-date performance through June 30, 2014
and anticipated improved operating fundamentals and performance for the
second-half of 2014. The remainder of the increase is due to the change
in accounting for royalty and certain marketing and reservation fees
described below;
-- Net domestic unit growth for 2014 is expected to range between 1% and
2%;
-- RevPAR is expected to increase approximately 6.5% for the third quarter
and 6.25% to 7.25% for full-year 2014; and
-- The effective royalty rate is expected to decline 4 basis points for
full-year 2014.
SkyTouch
-- Reductions in EBITDA from our investment in SkyTouch for full-year 2014
are expected to be approximately $20 million, which is unchanged from
the outlook we provided in April with our first quarter results;
-- We continue to expect execution of third-party contracts representing
annualized revenue ranging between $4 million and $6 million with
realized revenues for the year ended December 31, 2014 totaling
approximately $1 million; and
-- SG&A expenses related to SkyTouch are forecast to be approximately $21
million related to investment in business development, sales and
marketing and continued software development expenditures related to the
division's cloud-based hotel operating system technology and related
products and services.
Discontinued Operations
-- Company EBITDA projections exclude the three company-owned Mainstay
Suites hotels which generated EBITDA of approximately $1.1 million in
2013; and
-- Diluted EPS projections for the full-year 2014 include a gain on sale of
the three company-owned Mainstay Suites hotels totaling $0.03 per share.
Consolidated Outlook
The company's third quarter 2014 diluted EPS is expected to be $0.62. The company expects full-year 2014 diluted EPS to range between $1.92 and $1.96. Consolidated EBITDA for full-year 2014 are expected to range between $211 million and $214 million.
Items Impacting Comparability
We reported on August 5, 2014 that the company changed its accounting for royalty and certain marketing and reservation fees in order to comply with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP") by reporting these fees in the same period that the underlying gross room revenues are earned by our franchisees rather than one month in arrears (our historical practice).
We believe that this change in the timing of our revenue recognition for these fees will make it easier for analysts and investors to compare our results to other lodging companies.
The financial results and supplemental operating information as of and for the periods ended June 30, 2014 have been prepared in accordance with the new accounting practice.
As a result of this change, the income statement and cash flow statement included herein for the periods ended June 30, 2013 have been preliminarily restated based on currently available information to reflect our new accounting practice for these fees. The company plans to file the restated quarterly financial statements as soon as administratively possible. Until the restatement is complete, additional information may become available which could cause the company's current estimates to change.
Due to the seasonality of the company's business, the impact of the new revenue recognition practice will generally be positive for the first two quarters of the year and negative in the final two quarters of the year. However, this change is expected to result in immaterial positive revisions to total revenues, operating income and earnings per share for the full years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011. The company plans to file the revised annual financial statements in an amended Annual Report on Form 10-K. The December 31, 2013 balance sheet included in Exhibit 2 has been preliminarily revised to reflect this change.
More information about this accounting change and restatement can be found in the Company's Form 8-K filed on August 5, 2014.

Generally, our use of words such as "expect," "estimate," "believe," "anticipate," "will," "forecast," "plan," "project," "assume" or similar words of futurity identify such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based on management's current beliefs, assumptions and expectations regarding future events, which in turn are based on information currently available to management. Such statements may relate to projections of the company's revenue, earnings and other financial and operational measures, company debt levels, ability to repay outstanding indebtedness, payment of dividends, and future operations, among other matters. Forward-looking statements also include statements regarding expected timing of filings, materiality or significance, the quantitative effects of the restated financial statements, and any anticipated conclusions of the company, the audit committee of our board of directors or management. We caution you not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements do not guarantee future performance and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors.
Several factors could cause actual results, performance or achievements of the company to differ materially from those expressed in or contemplated by the forward-looking statements.

Specifically, with respect to the restatements, these factors also include the risk that additional information may arise prior to the expected filings with the SEC with the restated financial statements, the preparation of our restated financial statements or other subsequent events that would require us to make additional adjustments. These and other risk factors are discussed in detail in the company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission including our annual reports on Form 10-K and our quarterly reports filed on Form 10-Q. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
Statement Concerning Non-GAAP Financial Measurements Presented in this Press Release
EBITDA, franchising revenues, franchising SG&A, franchising EBITDA and franchising margins are non-GAAP financial measurements. These measures should not be considered as an alternative to any measure of performance or liquidity as promulgated under or authorized by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"), such as operating income, total revenues and operating margins. The company's calculation of these measurements may be different from the calculations used by other companies and therefore comparability may be limited. The company has included an exhibit accompanying this release that reconciles EBITDA, franchising revenues, franchising SG&A and franchising margins to the most comparable GAAP financial measures. We discuss management's reasons for reporting these non-GAAP measures below.
Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization: EBITDA reflects income from continuing operations excluding the impact of interest expense, interest income, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization, other (gains) and losses and equity in net income of unconsolidated affiliates. We consider EBITDA to be an indicator of operating performance because we use it to measure our ability to service debt, fund capital expenditures, and expand our business. We also use EBITDA, as do analysts, lenders, investors and others, to evaluate companies because it excludes certain items that can vary widely across different industries or among companies within the same industry. For example, interest expense can be dependent on a company's capital structure, debt levels and credit ratings. Accordingly, the impact of interest expense on earnings can vary significantly among companies. The tax positions of companies can also vary because of their differing abilities to take advantage of tax benefits and because of the tax policies of the jurisdictions in which they operate. As a result, effective tax rates and provision for income taxes can vary considerably among companies. EBITDA also excludes depreciation and amortization because companies utilize productive assets of different ages and use different methods of both acquiring and depreciating productive assets. These differences can result in considerable variability in the relative costs of productive assets and the depreciation and amortization expense among companies.
Franchising Revenues, Operating Income, EBITDA, SG&A and Margins: The company reports franchising revenues, operating income, EBITDA, SG&A and margins which exclude marketing and reservation revenues and SkyTouch Technology operations. Marketing and reservation activities are excluded since the company is required by its franchise agreements to use the fees collected for marketing and reservation activities; as such, no income or loss to the company is generated. Cumulative marketing and reservation system fees not expended are recorded as a liability in the company's financial statements and are carried over to the next year and expended in accordance with the franchise agreements. Cumulative marketing and reservation expenditures in excess of fees collected for marketing and reservation activities are deferred and recorded as an asset in the company's financial statements and recovered in future periods. SkyTouch Technology is a division of the company that develops and markets cloud-based technology products, including inventory management, pricing and connectivity to third party channels, to hoteliers not under franchise agreements with the company. The operations for SkyTouch Technology are excluded since they do not reflect the company's core franchising business but are an adjacent, complimentary line of business. These non-GAAP measures are a commonly used measure of performance in our industry and facilitate comparisons between the company and its competitors.
