Key West Hotel Acquisition

The Company acquired the 184-suite Sheraton Suites Key West, located in Key West, Florida for $94.0 million on June 30, 2015. The purchase price represents a 12.8 multiple on forecasted 2015 Hotel Adjusted EBITDA. The hotel will continue to be managed by Ocean Properties, a leading third party manager that operates six hotels in Key West. The Company believes that there is upside in its investment by repositioning the Hotel over the next year into an all-suites, independent, boutique resort. The Company expects to improve the hotel's profit margins by approximately 500 basis points and expects the hotel to generate approximately $9.5 to $10.0 million of annual Hotel Adjusted EBITDA upon stabilization as an independent hotel.

Hotel Financing Activity

In April 2015, the Company refinanced the Renaissance Worthington with a new $85.0 million mortgage loan. The new loan has a term of 10 years and a fixed interest rate of 3.66%. The new loan is interest-only for the first two years after which principal will amortize on a 30-year schedule. The hotel was previously encumbered by a $52.6 million mortgage loan bearing interest at a fixed rate of 5.4%.

In May 2015, the Company repaid the mortgage loan secured by the Frenchman's Reef & Morning Star Marriott Beach Resort. The loan had an outstanding principal balance of $56.2 million and a fixed interest rate of 5.44%.

In July 2015, the Company refinanced the JW Marriott Denver at Cherry Creek with a new $65.0 million mortgage loan. The new loan has a term of 10 years and a fixed interest rate of 4.33%. The new loan is interest-only for the first year after which principal will amortize on a 30-year schedule. The hotel was previously encumbered by a $38.1 million mortgage loan bearing interest at a fixed rate of 6.47%.

Westin Boston Expansion Option Update

In connection with the 2007 acquisition of the Westin Boston Waterfront Hotel, the Company assumed an option to acquire a leasehold interest in a parcel of land adjacent to the hotel with development rights to expand the hotel. During the quarter ended June 30, 2015, the Company decided not to exercise this option. As a result, the Company recorded a non-cash impairment charge of approximately $9.6 million, which represented a write-off of the favorable lease asset and other assets related to the option.

Capital Expenditures

The Company spent approximately $32.2 million on capital improvements during the six months ended June 30, 2015, primarily related to the addition of 41 rooms at the Hilton Boston Downtown and the first phase of guest room renovation at the Chicago Marriott Downtown.

The Company continues to expect to spend approximately $85 million on capital improvements at its hotels in 2015. Significant projects include the following:


    --  Hilton Boston Downtown: The Company completed a return on investment
        project at the hotel to create an incremental 41 guest rooms and upgrade
        additional guest rooms, which created over 90 premium rooms.
    --  Chicago Marriott Downtown: The Company commenced a multi-year guest room
        renovation at the hotel. Marriott is contributing to the cost of the
        renovation through an amendment to the hotel's management agreement to
        reduce management fees for the remaining term of the agreement. The
        amendment is expected to reduce management fees by approximately $1.8
        million in 2015. The first phase of the guest room renovation, which
        consisted of 140 rooms, including all 25 suites, was successfully
        completed during the first quarter of 2015.  The Company also added
        Marriott's new prototype F&B grab-and-go outlet in the hotel's lobby.
        The second phase of the guest room renovation will be completed during
        the seasonally slow winter months over the next three years and is not
        expected to result in material disruption.
    --  The Lodge at Sonoma: The Company expects to renovate the guest rooms at
        the hotel during the seasonally slow winter months of late 2015 and
        early 2016.
    --  Luxury Collection Hotel Chicago: The Company is rebranding the hotel
        currently known as the Conrad Chicago to Starwood's Luxury Collection
        during the third quarter.  The renovation work associated with the brand
        conversion will take place over the next two seasonally slow winter
        seasons. The Company is currently finalizing the cost estimate of this
        project.

Balance Sheet

As of June 30, 2015, the Company had $84.1 million of unrestricted cash on hand and approximately $1.1 billion of total debt, which consisted of property-specific mortgage debt and $90.0 million outstanding on the Company's $200.0 million senior unsecured credit facility. Subsequent to June 30, 2015, the Company repaid $50.0 million of borrowings and currently has $40.0 million outstanding on its senior unsecured credit facility.

ATM Equity Offering Program

The Company did not sell any shares under its $200 million at-the-market ("ATM") equity offering program during the second quarter. The Company currently has $128.3 million remaining under the ATM program.

Dividends

The Company's Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.125 per share to stockholders of record as of June 30, 2015. The dividend was paid on July 14, 2015.

Outlook and Guidance

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, 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 GAAP. EBITDA, 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.

EBITDA and FFO

EBITDA represents net income excluding: (1) interest expense; (2) provision for income taxes, including income taxes applicable to sale of assets; and (3) depreciation and amortization. We believe EBITDA is useful to an investor in evaluating our operating performance because it helps 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) from our operating results. In addition, covenants included in our indebtedness use EBITDA as a measure of financial compliance. We also use EBITDA as one measure in determining the value of hotel acquisitions and dispositions.

The Company computes FFO in accordance with standards established by NAREIT, which defines FFO as net income determined in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains or losses from sales of properties and impairment losses, plus 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 depreciation and amortization and gain or loss on sale of assets. The Company also uses FFO as one measure in assessing its results.

Adjustments to EBITDA and FFO

We adjust EBITDA and FFO when evaluating our performance because we believe that the exclusion of certain additional recurring and non-recurring items described below provides useful supplemental information to investors regarding our ongoing operating performance and that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted FFO, when combined with GAAP net income, EBITDA and FFO, is beneficial to an investor's complete understanding of our operating performance. We adjust EBITDA and FFO 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.
    --  Non-Cash Amortization of Favorable and Unfavorable Contracts: We exclude
        the non-cash amortization of favorable and unfavorable contract assets
        and liabilities recorded in conjunction with certain acquisitions.  The
        amortization of the favorable and unfavorable contracts does not reflect
        the underlying operating performance of our hotels.
    --  Cumulative Effect of a Change in Accounting Principle: Infrequently, the
        Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) promulgates new accounting
        standards that require the consolidated statement of operations to
        reflect the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle.  We
        exclude the effect of these one-time adjustments because they do not
        reflect our actual performance for that 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
        we believe they do not accurately reflect the underlying performance of
        the Company.
    --  Acquisition Costs:  We exclude acquisition transaction costs expensed
        during the period because we believe they do not reflect the underlying
        performance of the Company.
    --  Allerton Loan:  We exclude the gain from the prepayment of the loan in
        2014.
    --  Other Non-Cash and /or Unusual Items:  From time to time we incur costs
        or realize gains that we do not believe reflect the underlying
        performance of the Company.  Such items include, but are not limited to,
        hotel pre-opening costs, hotel manager transition costs, contract
        termination fees, severance costs, gains or losses from legal
        settlements, bargain purchase gains, and insurance proceeds.

In addition, to derive Adjusted EBITDA we exclude gains or losses on dispositions and impairment losses because we believe that including them in EBITDA does not reflect the ongoing performance of our hotels. Additionally, the gains or losses on dispositions and impairment losses represent either accelerated depreciation or excess depreciation in previous periods, and depreciation is excluded from EBITDA.

In addition, to derive Adjusted FFO we exclude any fair value adjustments to debt instruments. Specifically, we exclude the impact of the non-cash amortization of the debt premium recorded in conjunction with the acquisition of the JW Marriott Denver at Cherry Creek and any fair market value adjustments to the Company's interest rate cap agreement.

Use and Limitations of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Our management and Board of Directors use EBITDA, 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 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. These non-GAAP financial measures 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. We strongly encourage investors to review our financial information in its entirety and not to rely on a single financial measure.

Certain Definitions

In this release, when we discuss "Hotel Adjusted EBITDA," we exclude from Hotel EBITDA the non-cash expense incurred by the hotels due to the straight lining of the rent from our ground lease obligations, the non-cash amortization of our favorable lease assets and other contracts, and the non-cash amortization of our unfavorable contract liabilities. Hotel EBITDA represents hotel net income excluding: (1) interest expense; (2) income taxes; and (3) depreciation and amortization. Hotel Adjusted EBITDA margins are calculated as Hotel Adjusted EBITDA divided by total hotel revenues. Net debt is calculated as total debt outstanding less unrestricted cash.
