“We’re very excited about the terrific performance of our portfolio in the second quarter, as we continued to outperform the hotel industry’s strong growth,” said Jon E. Bortz, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Pebblebrook Hotel Trust. “Our hotels continue to realize healthy increases in travel demand from the business and leisure transient segments, as well as ongoing strength from inbound international travel. In addition, the group demand rebound that we experienced in the year accelerated in the second quarter. These positive demand trends, coupled with strong pricing power, contributed to the robust increases in our income and our cash flow. Based on the strong performance experienced in the overall industry and our portfolio during the first half of 2014, as well as the group and transient pace for the second half of the year, we are increasing our outlook for the U.S. hotel industry and our portfolio.”

Second Quarter Highlights

  • Same-Property RevPAR: Same-Property RevPAR in the second quarter of 2014 grew 9.2 percent over the same period of 2013 to $210.40. Same-Property ADR rose 7.6 percent from the second quarter of 2013 to $239.89. Same-Property Occupancy increased 1.4 percent to 87.7 percent.
  • Same-Property EBITDA: The Company’s hotels generated $57.4 million of Same-Property EBITDA for the quarter ended June 30, 2014, rising 12.1 percent compared with the same period of 2013. Same-Property Revenues climbed 6.1 percent, while Same-Property Hotel Expenses increased just 3.4 percent. As a result, Same-Property EBITDA Margin grew to 33.7 percent for the quarter ended June 30, 2014, an expansion of 178 basis points as compared to the same period last year.
  • Adjusted EBITDA: The Company’s Adjusted EBITDA increased $10.4 million, or 24.3 percent, to $53.3 million from $42.8 million in the prior year period.
  • Adjusted FFO: The Company’s Adjusted FFO climbed 36.5 percent to $36.0 million from $26.4 million in the prior year period.
  • Dividends: On June 16, 2014, the Company declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.23 per share on its common shares, a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.4921875 per share on its 7.875% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares, a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.50 per share on its 8.00% Series B Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares and a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.40625 per share on its 6.50% Series C Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares.

“We were able to grow same-property RevPAR by 9.2 percent in the second quarter, in excess of the industry’s 8.2 percent growth,” added Mr. Bortz. “As a result, same-property EBITDA increased 12.1 percent over the prior year as the implementation of our asset management and best practice initiatives continues to drive our strong results. We see further upside from our strategy of owning high-quality hotels located in high barrier to entry coastal gateway cities. Furthermore, our hotels continue to pick up market share in comparison to their competitors as they benefit from prior renovations and improvements. These benefits should continue to accrue over the next several years.”

Capital Reinvestment and Asset Management

During the second quarter, the Company invested $10.1 million in capital improvements throughout its portfolio, including the Company’s 49 percent interest in its six hotel joint venture with Denihan Hospitality Group (the “Manhattan Collection”). The Company’s capital improvements included $1.9 million at Hotel Palomar San Francisco, $1.0 million at Hotel Vintage Seattle, $0.9 million at Radisson Hotel Fisherman’s Wharf, and $0.7 million at W Los Angeles - Westwood.

As of the end of the second quarter, the Company has completed the addition of four guest rooms at the Embassy Suites San Diego Bay Downtown and the comprehensive renovation and repositioning of the 125-room Hotel Vintage Park Seattle, which has been renamed Hotel Vintage Seattle. The Company has also substantially completed the restaurant and lobby renovations along with the addition of five guest rooms at the 201-room Hotel Palomar San Francisco.

During the fourth quarter of 2014, the Company plans to commence a comprehensive renovation and repositioning at the 355-room Radisson Hotel Fisherman’s Wharf, a guest rooms and public areas renovation of the 258-room W Los Angeles-Westwood, including the potential addition of 39 guest rooms, and a lobby and atrium renovation at the 341-room Embassy Suites San Diego Bay Downtown.

“We’re thrilled with the acquisition of these two terrific hotels located in our West Coast target markets of San Francisco and Portland,” commented Mr. Bortz. “We believe these properties offer great opportunities for outsized RevPAR growth, margin expansion and value creation through opportunistic capital investment and the implementation of our asset management and best practice initiatives in collaboration with our operating partners.”

To supplement the Company’s consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), this press release includes certain non-GAAP financial measures as defined under Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Rules.
 
These measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative to, measures prepared in accordance with GAAP and may be different from similarly titled non-GAAP measures used by other companies. In addition, these non-GAAP measures are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. Non-GAAP measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with the Company’s results of operations determined in accordance with GAAP.
 
Funds from Operations (“FFO”) - FFO represents net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), plus real estate-related depreciation and amortization and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships. The Company considers FFO a useful measure of performance for an equity REIT because it facilitates an understanding of the operating performance of its properties without giving effect to real estate depreciation and amortization, which assume that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, the Company believes that FFO provides a meaningful indication of its performance. The Company also considers FFO an appropriate performance measure given its wide use by investors and analysts. The Company computes FFO in accordance with standards established by the Board of Governors of NAREIT in its March 1995 White Paper (as amended in November 1999 and April 2002), which may differ from the methodology for calculating FFO utilized by other equity REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to that of other REITs. Further, FFO does not represent amounts available for management’s discretionary use because of needed capital replacement or expansion, debt service obligations or other commitments and uncertainties, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund the Company’s cash needs, including its ability to make distributions. The Company presents FFO per diluted share calculations that are based on the outstanding dilutive common shares plus the outstanding Operating Partnership units for the periods presented.
 
Earnings before Interest, Taxes, and Depreciation and Amortization ("EBITDA") - The Company believes that EBITDA provides investors a useful financial measure to evaluate its operating performance, excluding the impact of our capital structure (primarily interest expense) and our asset base (primarily depreciation and amortization).
 
The Company also evaluates its performance by reviewing Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted FFO, because it believes that adjusting EBITDA and FFO to exclude certain recurring and non-recurring items described below provides useful supplemental information regarding the Company's ongoing operating performance and that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted FFO, when combined with the primary GAAP presentation of net income (loss), more completely describes the Company's operating performance. The Company adjusts EBITDA and FFO for the following items, which may occur in any period, and refers to these measures as Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted FFO:
 
- Hotel acquisition costs: The Company excludes acquisition transaction costs expensed during the period because it believes that including these costs in EBITDA and FFO does not reflect the underlying financial performance of the Company and its hotels.
- Non-cash ground rent: The Company excludes the non-cash ground rent expense, which is primarily made up of the straight-line rent impact from a ground lease.
- Amortization of Class A LTIP units: The Company excludes the non-cash amortization of LTIP Units expensed during the period.
- Management/franchise contract transition costs: The Company excludes one-time management and/or franchise contract transition costs expensed during the period because it believes that including these costs in EBITDA and FFO does not reflect the underlying financial performance of the Company and its hotels.
- Interest expense adjustment for above-market loans: The Company excludes interest expense adjustment for above-market loans assumed in connection with acquisitions, because it believes that including these non-cash adjustments in FFO does not reflect the underlying financial performance of the Company.

- Amortization of favorable and unfavorable leases: The Company excludes the amortization of the favorable and unfavorable retail lease assets and liabilities recorded in conjunction with hotel property acquisitions because it believes that including these non-cash adjustments in FFO does not reflect the underlying financial performance of the Company.

- Capital lease adjustment: The Company excludes the effect of non-cash interest expense from capital leases because it believes that including these non-cash adjustments in FFO does not reflect the underlying financial performance of the Company.
 
The Company’s presentation of FFO in accordance with the NAREIT White Paper and EBITDA, and as adjusted by the Company, should not be considered as an alternative to net income (computed in accordance with GAAP) as an indicator of the Company’s financial performance or to cash flow from operating activities (computed in accordance with GAAP) as an indicator of its liquidity. The table above is a reconciliation of the Company’s FFO and EBITDA calculations to net income in accordance with GAAP.
