                        million in 2013 and 2014,
                        respectively.  EBITDA margins also
                        exclude amortization of the below
                        market hotel management agreement
                        related to the Hotel del Coronado of
                        $0.6 million and $1.2 million for
                        the three months and year ended
                        December 31, 2014, respectively.

"Our positive expectations for 2014 were far exceeded in a number of ways," said Raymond L. "Rip" Gellein, Jr., Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Strategic Hotels & Resorts, Inc. "Across the portfolio, our luxury, irreplaceable hotels continued to perform at the highest levels, driving exceptional results in virtually all key metrics. Positive demand drivers and limited competitive supply clearly were a benefit, complemented by our proven asset management expertise which drove significant RevPAR and Total RevPAR results. Throughout the year, we continued to deliver on our core strategy by wholly-refocusing our portfolio in the United States and strengthening our balance sheet. We completed $3.5 billion in transactions that further strengthened the overall quality of our portfolio and allowed us to further enhance the balance sheet, significantly reducing leverage. As a result of this combined activity, we achieved a 58% year-over-year increase in FFO per share.

"As we look ahead, we are ideally positioned for strategic, accretive growth in 2015 that will add to our unique collection of best-in-class assets. We remain very bullish on our business, given our proven ability to extract continuing value from our properties, the dearth of new supply coming online to compete with our hotels, the overall improving economic environment, and growing demand trends that favor the compelling value proposition of our portfolio," concluded Gellein.

Strategic Hotels & Resorts, Inc. and Subsidiaries (SHR)
Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We present five non-GAAP financial measures that we believe are useful to management and investors as key measures of our operating performance: Funds from Operations (FFO); FFO--Fully Diluted; Comparable FFO; Earnings Before Interest Expense, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA); and Comparable EBITDA.

EBITDA represents net income (or loss) attributable to SHR common shareholders excluding: (i) interest expense, (ii) income taxes, including deferred income tax benefits and expenses applicable to our foreign subsidiaries and income taxes applicable to sale of assets; (iii) depreciation and amortization; and (iv) preferred stock dividends. EBITDA also excludes interest expense, income taxes and depreciation and amortization of our unconsolidated affiliates. EBITDA is presented on a full participation basis, which means we have assumed conversion of all redeemable noncontrolling interests of our operating partnership into our common stock. We believe this treatment of noncontrolling interests provides useful information for management and our investors and appropriately considers our current capital structure. We also present Comparable EBITDA, which eliminates the effect of realizing deferred gains on our sale leasebacks, as well as the effect of gains or losses on sales of assets, early extinguishment of debt, impairment losses, foreign currency exchange gains or losses and certain other charges that are highly variable from year to year. We believe EBITDA and Comparable EBITDA are useful to management and investors in evaluating our operating performance because they provide management and investors with an indication of our ability to incur and service debt, to satisfy general operating expenses, to make capital expenditures and to fund other cash needs or reinvest cash into our business. We also believe they help management and investors meaningfully evaluate and compare the results of our operations from period to period by removing the impact of our asset base (primarily depreciation and amortization) from our operating results. Our management also uses EBITDA and Comparable EBITDA as measures in determining the value of acquisitions and dispositions.

We compute FFO in accordance with standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT. NAREIT adopted a definition of FFO in order to promote an industry-wide standard measure of REIT operating performance. NAREIT defines FFO as net income (or loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP) excluding losses or gains from sales of depreciable property, impairment of depreciable real estate, real estate-related depreciation and amortization, and our portion of these items related to unconsolidated affiliates. We also present FFO--Fully Diluted, which is FFO plus income or loss on income attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interests in our operating partnership. We also present Comparable FFO, which is FFO--Fully Diluted excluding the impact of any gains or losses on early extinguishment of debt, impairment losses on non-depreciable assets, foreign currency exchange gains or losses and certain other charges that are highly variable from year to year. We believe that the presentation of FFO, FFO--Fully Diluted and Comparable FFO provides useful information to management and investors regarding our results of operations because they are measures of our ability to fund capital expenditures and expand our business. In addition, FFO is widely used in the real estate industry to measure operating performance without regard to items such as depreciation and amortization. We also present Comparable FFO per diluted share as a non-GAAP measure of our performance. We calculate Comparable FFO per diluted share for a given operating period as our Comparable FFO (as defined above) divided by the weighted average of fully diluted shares outstanding, excluding shares related to the JW Marriott Essex House Hotel put option. Dilutive securities may include shares granted under share-based compensation plans and operating partnership units. No effect is shown for securities that are anti-dilutive.

We caution investors that amounts presented in accordance with our definitions of FFO, FFO--Fully Diluted, Comparable FFO, EBITDA, and Comparable EBITDA may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by other companies, since not all companies calculate these non-GAAP measures in the same manner. FFO, FFO--Fully Diluted, Comparable FFO, EBITDA, and Comparable EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative measure of our net income (or loss) or operating performance. FFO, FFO--Fully Diluted, Comparable FFO, EBITDA, and Comparable EBITDA may include funds that may not be available for our discretionary use due to functional requirements to conserve funds for capital expenditures and property acquisitions and other commitments and uncertainties. Although we believe that FFO, FFO--Fully Diluted, Comparable FFO, EBITDA, and Comparable EBITDA can enhance your understanding of our financial condition and results of operations, these non-GAAP financial measures, when viewed individually, are not necessarily a better indicator of any trend as compared to comparable GAAP measures such as net income (or loss) attributable to SHR common shareholders. In addition, you should be aware that adverse economic and market conditions might negatively impact our cash flow. We have provided a quantitative reconciliation of FFO, FFO--Fully Diluted, Comparable FFO, EBITDA, and Comparable EBITDA to the most directly comparable GAAP financial performance measure, which is net income (or loss) attributable to SHR common shareholders.

    (c)                   On March 31, 2014, we acquired the
                          remaining 50.0% equity interest in
                          the Fairmont Scottsdale Princess
                          hotel, resulting in the Fairmont
                          Scottsdale Princess hotel becoming
                          wholly-owned by us. In connection
                          with the acquisition, we
                          consolidated the Fairmont Scottsdale

                          loan secured by the Fairmont
                          Scottsdale Princess hotel. We
                          recorded the mortgage loan at its
                          fair value, which included a debt
                          discount, which is being amortized
                          as additional interest expense over
                          the maturity period of the loan. We
                          are evaluating financing
                          alternatives given the impending
                          maturity date.

                          principal amount is paid monthly at
                          an annual fixed rate of 10.00%.

    (e)                   On June 11, 2014, we acquired the

                          the Hotel del Coronado, resulting in
                          the Hotel del Coronado becoming
                          wholly-owned by us. In connection
                          with the acquisition, we
                          consolidated the Hotel del Coronado
                          and became fully obligated under the
                          entire outstanding balance of the
                          mortgage and mezzanine loans secured
