• Outlines significant progress on strategic plan in 2011

• Provides update on portfolio repositioning and asset sale program

• Expects to pay accrued preferred dividends and repay debt with proceeds from asset sales in 2012

IRVING, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 29, 2012-- FelCor Lodging Trust Incorporated (NYSE: FCH) today reported operating results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2011.

Summary:

• Revenue per available room ("RevPAR") at 43 same-store core hotels increased 4.8% for the quarter and 5.4% for the year.
• Hotel EBITDA margin increased 83 basis points for the quarter and 116 basis points for the year.
• Adjusted EBITDA was $202.7 million and adjusted funds from operations ("FFO") per share was $0.14 for the year. Net loss was $130.9 million for the year. Fourth quarter results were negatively impacted by four cents, resulting from accelerated renovations at four hotels and softness in Atlanta and Ft. Lauderdale.
• Sold eight non-strategic hotels for gross proceeds of $138 million in 2011. Brought additional non-strategic hotels to market in January and currently marketing 16 non-strategic hotels. Net proceeds from asset sales will be used to repay debt and pay accrued preferred dividends.
• Completed acquisition and commenced redevelopment of the four-plus star Knickerbocker Hotel in New York's Times Square during the fourth quarter (projecting a late 2013 opening).
• Began renovation or redevelopment at 10 hotels during 2011, including four of our largest hotels. We accelerated renovation start dates at four hotels to accommodate seasonal demand.

Commenting on the fourth quarter and full year, Richard A. Smith, President and Chief Executive Officer of FelCor, said, "In the past year, we made significant progress advancing our long-term value creation strategy to strengthen our balance sheet, reposition our portfolio and invest in the future of our business. Of note, we began marketing a significant number of non-strategic hotels and sold nine hotels quicker than anticipated, using a majority of the proceeds to repay debt. We also eliminated all of our near-term debt maturities. Our top priority is to sell non-strategic hotels and reduce debt to reach our long-term goal of 4.5 times leverage. Industry fundamentals are strong. Occupancy is approaching stabilized levels, and ADR growth is accelerating. Looking ahead, we continue to position our portfolio to benefit from the lodging recovery to generate above-average growth in our core markets. This month, we also announced the acquisition of the iconic Knickerbocker Hotel in the heart of Manhattan. This is a rare opportunity, and we are confident this strategic investment will enhance future stockholder value. We expect the Knickerbocker to be our last acquisition in this cycle."

Fourth Quarter Operating Results:

RevPAR for our 43 same-store core hotels was $92.88, a 4.8% increase compared to the same period in 2010. Average daily rate ("ADR") increased 4.5% to $139.11, and occupancy increased 0.4% to 66.8%. RevPAR and ADR for the company's 73 same-store consolidated hotels increased 4.4% (to $85.69) and 3.7% (to $128.00), respectively, compared to the same period in 2010.

The quarter was negatively impacted by accelerated timing of renovations (ongoing renovations impacted RevPAR by 1% more than anticipated) and softness in Atlanta (lower than expected group and transient business) and Fort Lauderdale (lower than expected group business due to weather). Consequently, our results were four cents lower than anticipated.

Hotel EBITDA increased 7.5% to $48.1 million, compared to $44.8 million for the same period in 2010. Hotel EBITDA represents EBITDA for 73 same-store consolidated hotels prior to corporate expenses and joint venture adjustments. Hotel EBITDA margin was 21.6%, an 83 basis point increase compared to the same period in 2010.

Same-store Adjusted EBITDA increased 10.6% to $39.3 million. Same-store Adjusted EBITDA excludes EBITDA from hotels sold or acquired during the year. Adjusted EBITDA (which includes our pro rata share of joint ventures) decreased 6.1% to $42.2 million, compared to $45.0 million for the same period in 2010, due to asset sales.

Adjusted FFO reflects a $3.5 million, or $0.03 per share, loss compared to a $3.6 million, or $0.04 per share, loss for the same period in 2010.

Net loss attributable to common stockholders was $42.8 million, or $0.35 per share, compared to a $103.1 million, or $1.08 per share, loss for the same period in 2010. Our 2010 net loss includes $86.8 million of impairment charges reflecting the reduced book values on ten non-strategic hotels (three hotels comprise the majority of the impairment), as well as a $7.0 million gain on extinguishment of debt related to the disposition of one hotel, a $1.7 million charge related to the repurchase of $40 million of our senior notes maturing 2011 and a $20.5 million gain related to the sale of our interest in a joint venture.

Full Year Operating Results:

RevPAR for our 43 same-store core hotels was $101.29, a 5.4% increase compared to 2010. ADR increased 4.5% to $139.34, compared to 2010 and occupancy increased 0.9% to 72.7%. RevPAR for our 73 same-store consolidated hotels increased 5.2% (to $92.68) compared to 2010.

Hotel EBITDA increased 9.7% to $225.5 million, compared to $205.5 million in 2010. Hotel EBITDA represents EBITDA for 73 same-store consolidated hotels prior to corporate expenses and joint venture adjustments. Hotel EBITDA margin was 24.4%, a 116 basis point increase compared to 2010.

Same-store Adjusted EBITDA increased 12.2% to $187.8 million. Same-store Adjusted EBITDA excludes EBITDA from hotels sold or acquired during the year. Adjusted EBITDA (which includes our pro rata share of joint ventures) increased 7.7% to $202.7 million, compared to $188.1 million in 2010.

Adjusted FFO increased to $16.2 million, or $0.14 per share, compared to a loss of $7.6 million, or $0.09 per share, in 2010.

Net loss attributable to common stockholders was $168.6 million, or $1.44 per share, compared to a $261.8 million, or $3.25 per share, loss in 2010. Our 2011 loss included $13.2 million of impairment charges and $24.4 million of losses from extinguishment of debt, partially offset by $4.7 million of gains from hotel dispositions. Our 2010 loss included $173.7 million of impairment charges, $59.5 million of gains from extinguishment of debt and a $20.5 million gain related to the sale of our interest in an unconsolidated joint venture.

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Same-store Adjusted EBITDA, Hotel EBITDA, Hotel EBITDA margin, FFO, Adjusted FFO and Adjusted FFO per share are all non-GAAP financial measures. See our discussion of "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" beginning on page 18 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 December 31, 2011, the company had $1.6 billion of consolidated debt, $93.8 million of cash and cash equivalents and full availability on its $225 million line of credit. The weighted average maturity date for our debt was 4.4 years at December 31, 2011, compared to 3.3 years for the same period in 2010. We lowered our weighted average interest rate to 7.59%, and total interest expense was $8.4 million lower in 2011 than in 2010.

During the fourth quarter, we modified a CMBS loan to extend the loan up to two years beyond the original November 2011 maturity date. The loan balance at December 31, 2011 was $156 million, after we repaid $20 million of principal. The interest rate changed from LIBOR plus 93 basis points to LIBOR plus 220 basis points. This non-recourse loan is pre-payable at any time without penalty or premium and is cross-collateralized by nine mortgaged hotels. The company is currently marketing five of those properties for sale and will repay the mortgage loan securing any sold hotel using sale proceeds without penalty.

In early 2012, we amended and extended the maturity date of a $130 million loan, secured by eight joint venture hotels that would have matured in January 2013 (assuming extension options). The interest rate was reduced from LIBOR plus 375 basis points to LIBOR plus 325 basis points, and the maturity date was extended to 2014. Annual loan amortization also decreased from $5.0 million to $1.3 million.

Andrew J. Welch, FelCor's Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, said, "We made very good first steps this year toward restructuring our balance sheet to lower our leverage, reduce our cost of capital and stagger and extend debt maturities. We issued new senior notes due 2019 at very favorable terms to repay high-cost debt and acquire three hotels, and issued equity to repay $144 million of our 10% notes due 2014. As we execute our hotel sale program, we will embark on the next steps to completely restructure our balance sheet including paying accrued preferred dividends and repaying and refinancing remaining debt to achieve our long-term goal of 4.5 times leverage and lower our cost of borrowing."

Capital Expenditures:

For the quarter and year ended December 31, 2011, we spent $32.2 million and $91.2 million, respectively, on capital improvements at properties (including our pro rata share of joint venture expenditures). Included in the expenditures is $19 million on ROI-redevelopment projects. As part of our long-term capital plan, we anticipate renovating between six and eight hotels each year. In 2011, the company began renovating eight hotels and redeveloping two hotels, including four of our largest properties. Although accelerating this work caused more displacement in the fourth quarter 2011 than originally anticipated, the core portfolio will be better positioned to benefit from current industry growth trends.

During 2012, the company anticipates spending approximately $85 million on improvements and renovations. A majority of that capital will be focused on 11 hotels, including four of our largest properties. Please see page 17 of this release for more detail on renovations. We also expect to spend approximately $35 million on value-enhancing redevelopment projects at three hotels: Morgans (re-concept food and beverage, relocate lounge and fitness center and add three guest rooms); Embassy Suites Kingston Plantation (transform lobby, food and beverage outlet and entrance); and the Fairmont Copley Plaza.

In 2011, we began redeveloping the historic Fairmont Copley Plaza. All 383 guest rooms will be renovated by mid-2012, including 12 rooms that will be upgraded to Fairmont Gold (for a total of 71 Fairmont Gold rooms). In addition, the project includes a new 3,000-square-foot state-of-the-art rooftop fitness facility and day spa overlooking the Back Bay, as well as extensive redevelopment of the public areas and food and beverage facilities.

Portfolio Repositioning:

With a focus on creating a high-value portfolio of superior hotels, the company intends to sell up to 40 non-strategic hotels, representing 72 percent of our suburban hotels and 44 percent of our airport hotels, as part of the portfolio repositioning plan. Core hotels are located in key high-growth markets, primarily in major urban markets and resort destinations. Our remaining suburban and airport hotels are generally located in gateway cities and benefit from relatively high barriers-to-entry. We have brought 25 non-strategic hotels to market since December 2010 and sold nine for gross proceeds of $222 million, representing approximately 12 times prior year hotel EBITDA. During the fourth quarter, we sold two hotels (Holiday Inn Toronto-Yorkdale and Embassy Suites Dallas-Market Center) for combined gross proceeds of $37 million.

The company is currently marketing 16 non-strategic hotels. We expect to generate approximately $350 million in gross proceeds from selling these hotels. We are committed to using these funds to pay all accrued preferred dividends, reduce debt and strengthen our balance sheet. Nine of the 16 hotels secure approximately $130 million of hotel mortgage debt. We have received strong interest from potential buyers and expect to sell the majority of these hotels in 2012. We will bring the remaining non-strategic hotels to market at the appropriate time in order to maximize proceeds. The proceeds from the sale of these hotels will allow the company to continue to reduce debt, contribute to a sound and flexible balance sheet, and improve long-term FFO and stockholder value.

During the fourth quarter, we acquired the landmark Knickerbocker Hotel in midtown Manhattan for $115 million. Located at Broadway and 42^nd Street, the Knickerbocker Hotel boasts one of the world's premier addresses for both business and leisure travelers and will serve as FelCor's flagship upon opening in late 2013. The four-plus star hotel will feature approximately 330 large guest rooms (averaging in excess of 420 square feet), several food and beverage outlets, including a large rooftop sky bar and lounge directly overlooking Times Square, state-of-the-art meeting space and a full-service fitness facility. We own 95% of the joint venture that owns the hotel. Highgate Holdings, Inc., which will manage the hotel upon opening, owns the other 5%. Our joint venture will leverage the development expertise of both companies to realize the full value of this iconic New York building, which was acquired at a significant discount to replacement cost. The design phase is currently in process, and the redevelopment will commence during the third quarter.

Outlook:

Lodging industry fundamentals remain strong, as lodging demand growth continues to improve and new hotel supply growth remains low. Economic indicators that correlate to future lodging demand are strengthening. Additionally, group business pace is currently the strongest since prior to the recession, and group room nights are expected to increase in 2012, after declining in 2011. FelCor's hotels are taking advantage of the growth in corporate and premium segments to remix their customer base and replace the lower rated business with those premium customers. Our hotels are opportunistically increasing rates where appropriate. We expect ADR to increase in every customer segment, including strong rate growth for corporate transient customers, which comprise almost half of our occupancy.

During 2012, the company will be renovating 11 of its hotels, plus ongoing redevelopment of three hotels. A significant portion of the renovations will take place in the first four months of the year, given the seasonally low demand. Therefore, first quarter RevPAR will be impacted by approximately 2%. The displacement from the renovations will impact full year RevPAR growth by approximately 1%, compared to 2011, or $6 million of room revenue.

For 2012, we anticipate:

• Same-store RevPAR for 75 hotels (including Morgans and Royalton for both years) to increase from 4% to 6%;
• Adjusted EBITDA to be between $205 million and $214 million;
• Adjusted FFO per share to be between $0.23 and $0.30;
• Hotel operating margins to increase approximately 40 basis points (excluding prior year tax and insurance credits, margins are expected to increase approximately 110 basis points);
• Net loss attributable to FelCor to be between $85 million and $76 million; and
• Interest expense to be approximately $133 million.

The following table reconciles 2011 Adjusted EBITDA to the mid-point of our 2012 anticipated EBITDA (in millions):

(a) Represents EBITDA for 75 consolidated hotels, including Morgans and Royalton, for the full year prior to our May 2011 acquisition.

The company's 2012 projections are based on 75 consolidated hotels and do not reflect any future hotel sales, acquisitions or other capital transactions. 2012 guidance assumes same-store Adjusted EBITDA growth of 7% to 12%, compared to 2011 (including Morgans and Royalton full year EBITDA for both periods).

FelCor, a real estate investment trust, owns 76 primarily upper-upscale, full-service hotels that are located in major and resort markets throughout 22 states. FelCor partners with leading hotel companies to operate its diversified portfolio of hotels, which are flagged under globally recognized names such as, Doubletree^®, Embassy Suites^®, Fairmont^®, Hilton^®, Marriott^®, Renaissance^®, Sheraton^®, Westin^® and Holiday Inn^®, and premier independent hotels in New York.

SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION

INTRODUCTION

The following information is presented in order to help our investors understand FelCor's financial position as of and for the three months and year ended December 31, 2011.

(a) Our consolidated statements of operations and balance sheets have been prepared without audit. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP have been omitted. The consolidated statements of operations and balance sheets should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Hotel Portfolio Composition

The following table illustrates the distribution of 75 consolidated hotels by brand, market and location at December 31, 2011.

(a) Hotel EBITDA is more fully described on page 25. We consider Hotel EBITDA as a same-store metric and current year acquisitions (Morgans and Royalton) are excluded from this metric.

The following tables set forth occupancy, ADR and RevPAR for the three months and years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the percentage changes thereto between the periods presented, for 73 same-store consolidated hotels (excludes Morgans and Royalton, which were acquired in May 2011).

(a) We currently have full availability under our $225 million line of credit.

(b) The line of credit can be extended for one year (to 2015), subject to satisfying certain conditions.

(c) LIBOR (for this loan) is subject to a 3% floor. We purchased an interest rate cap ($212 million notional amount) that caps LIBOR at 5.0% and expires May 2012.

(d) This loan can be extended for six months, subject to satisfying certain conditions.

(e) The hotels securing this debt are subject to separate loan agreements and are not cross-collateralized.

(f) These notes have $492 million in aggregate principal outstanding ($144 million in aggregate principal amount was redeemed in June 2011) and were initially sold at a discount that provided an effective yield of 12.875% before transaction costs.

(g) This loan is related to our Knickerbocker development project and is fully secured by restricted cash and a mortgage. Because we were able to assume an existing loan when we purchased this hotel, we were not required to pay any local mortgage recording tax. When that loan is transferred to a new lender and made part of our construction loan, we expect to only pay such tax to the extent of the incremental principal amount of the construction loan.

(a) The hotels under this debt are subject to separate loan agreements and are not cross-collateralized.

Discontinued Operations
(in thousands)

Discontinued operations include the results of operations of eight hotels sold in 2011 and three hotels disposed in 2010. Condensed financial information for the hotels included in discontinued operations is as follows:

(a) Includes impairment charges of $6.2 million and $67.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and $4.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2010.

(a) Includes capitalized interest, property taxes, ground leases and certain employee costs.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We refer in this release to certain "non-GAAP financial measures." These measures, including FFO, 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.

(a) For same-store metrics, we have included the hotel acquired in August 2010 and excluded the two hotels acquired in May 2011 for all periods presented.

(b) Consolidated hotel lease expense represents 100% of the percentage lease expense for our 51% owned operating lessees. The offsetting percentage lease revenue (approximately 51% of the expense) is included in equity in income from unconsolidated entities.

(a) Weighted average shares and units are 124.9 million.

(b) Includes pro rata portion of unconsolidated entities.

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 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 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, amortization, and impairment losses. FFO for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures are calculated 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 items, including but not limited to those described below, provides useful supplemental information to investors regarding our ongoing operating performance and that the presentation of Adjusted FFO, and 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.
• 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 and Adjusted EBITDA because they do not reflect our actual performance for that period.

In addition, to derive 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 and impairment losses 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 brand/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 that we use 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 all revenues and expenses from continuing operations not directly associated with hotel operations, including corporate-level expenses, depreciation and amortization, and expenses related to our capital structure. 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 eliminate depreciation and amortization because, even though depreciation and amortization are property-level expenses, we do not believe that these non-cash expenses, which are based on historical cost accounting for real estate assets, and implicitly assume that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time, accurately reflect an adjustment in the value of our 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 Consolidated Hotels. Hotel EBITDA and Hotel EBITDA margins are presented on a same-store basis and exclude the historical results of operations from the Fairmont Copley Plaza acquired in August 2010.

Use and Limitations of Non-GAAP Measures

Our management and Board of Directors use FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Hotel EBITDA and Hotel EBITDA margin 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. 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. 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. 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 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. Management strongly encourages investors to review our financial information in its entirety and not to rely on a single financial measure.
