Outperforms Expectations Across the Board

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 22, 2017-- Chatham Lodging Trust (NYSE: CLDT), a lodging real estate investment trust (REIT) that invests in upscale, extended-stay hotels and premium-branded, select-service hotels and owns 133 hotels wholly or through joint ventures, today announced results for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2016. The company also provided its initial guidance for 2017.

Fourth Quarter 2016 Key Metrics

• Net Income - Declined $1.8 million to $2.7 million. Net income per diluted share was $0.07 versus $0.12 in the 2015 fourth quarter.
• Portfolio Revenue per Available Room (RevPAR) – Declined slightly, 0.8 percent, compared to the 2015 fourth quarter, to $118 for Chatham’s 38, wholly owned hotels. Average daily rate (ADR) improved 1.7 percent to $157, offset by a 2.4 percent occupancy decline to 75 percent.
• Adjusted EBITDA – Rose $0.3 million to $26.3 million.
• Adjusted FFO – Improved $0.9 million to $17.0 million. Adjusted FFO per diluted share was $0.44, up 5 percent versus last year and significantly exceeding the company’s guidance of $0.35-$0.38 per share.
• Operating Margins – Experienced a 50 basis point reduction in comparable hotel gross operating profit margins (total revenue less total hotel operating expenses) to 45.9 percent, using comparable hotels regardless of ownership. Comparable hotel EBITDA margins dropped 80 basis points to 36.7 percent.

Consolidated Financial Results

The following is a summary of the consolidated financial results for the three months and year ended December 31, 2016. RevPAR, ADR and occupancy for 2016 and 2015 are based on hotels owned as of December 31, 2016 ($ in millions, except per share, RevPAR, ADR, occupancy and margins):

			Three Months Ended							Year Ended
			December 31,							December 31,
			2016			2015				2016			2015
Net income			$2.7			$4.5				$31.7			$33.2
Diluted net income per common share			$0.07			$0.12				$0.81			$0.86

Operating Results

“Our overall operating results were much better than the guidance we provided for the fourth quarter. The results were driven by across the board beats with RevPAR only declining 0.8 percent versus our guidance of a decline of approximately 2.5 percent. Margins finished 130 basis points better than forecasted, and we achieved lower corporate general and administrative expenses,” commented Jeffrey H. Fisher, Chatham’s president and chief executive officer. “Portfolio RevPAR growth in November rose 1.0 percent, much better than we expected, and December RevPAR was down 1.3 percent. Both months outperformed October when RevPAR declined 1.9 percent. We certainly are not applauding the fact that RevPAR declined 0.8 percent in the quarter, but we were encouraged by fourth quarter performance improvements from the 2.1 percent RevPAR decline in the 2016 third quarter. Excluding our six hotels in oil-industry influenced Houston and western Pennsylvania markets where RevPAR declined 19.5 percent, RevPAR would have risen 1.6 percent so these two markets had an adverse impact of 240 basis points on our entire portfolio.”

Fourth quarter RevPAR performance for certain key markets:

• Silicon Valley RevPAR rose 4.8 percent with a 5.7 percent increase in ADR
• Four Houston hotels experienced a RevPAR decline of 21.9 percent
• Two Washington D.C. hotels saw RevPAR rise 4.8 percent
• Three Boston hotels experienced a RevPAR decline of 3.2 percent

“As we mentioned during our third quarter earnings call, we quickly implemented cost savings initiatives and modified revenue management strategies across the portfolio. When combined with our top-line performance, we generated better than expected operating margins of 45.9 percent, down 50 basis points from last year, but much-improved from the 180 basis point decline we experienced in the 2016 third quarter,” highlighted Dennis Craven, Chatham’s chief operating officer. “We certainly could not have reacted this quickly had it not been for our unique relationship with Island Hospitality. As market metrics declined, Island initiated numerous changes that positively influenced our top and bottom lines, and that nimbleness greatly enhanced our ability to drive incremental earnings. This relationship is very valuable for us and our shareholders. Lastly, our corporate expenses were down approximately $0.5 million versus our forecast for the quarter as a result of lower payroll related expenses, miscellaneous items and taxes.”

Joint Venture Investment Performance

During the quarter, the Innkeepers and Inland joint ventures contributed Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted FFO of approximately $3.4 million and $1.5 million, respectively, both results approximately $0.3 million better than Chatham’s fourth quarter guidance. For the year ended December 31, 2016, the joint ventures contributed Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted FFO of approximately $16.7 million and $8.9 million, respectively.

Chatham received distributions of $0.6 million during the quarter from the joint ventures. For the year ended December 31, 2016, Chatham received distributions of $7.2 million from the joint ventures. Chatham’s investment for its approximate 10 percent interest in the two joint ventures was $50.1 million.

Capital Markets & Capital Structure

As of December 31, 2016, the company had net debt of $572.9 million (total consolidated debt less unrestricted cash). Total debt outstanding was $585.1 million at an average interest rate of 4.5 percent, comprised of $532.6 million of fixed-rate mortgage debt at an average interest rate of 4.7 percent and $52.5 million outstanding on the company’s $250 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility, which currently carries a 2.7 percent interest rate.

Chatham’s leverage ratio was approximately 40 percent at December 31, 2016, based on the ratio of the company’s net debt to hotel investments at cost. The weighted average maturity date for Chatham’s fixed-rate debt is February 2024. As of December 31, 2016, Chatham’s proportionate share of joint venture debt and unrestricted cash was $168.0 million and $2.6 million, respectively.

On December 31, 2016, as defined in the company’s credit agreement, Chatham’s fixed charge coverage ratio, including its interest in the two joint ventures with Colony NorthStar, was 3.4 times, and total net debt to trailing 12-month corporate EBITDA was 5.8 times. Excluding its interests in the two joint ventures, Chatham’s fixed charge coverage ratio was 3.6 times, and net debt to trailing 12-month corporate EBITDA was 5.2 times.

“Our hotel investments continue to generate significant free cash flow, enabling us to reduce our net debt by $13.9 million in 2016 after $22.5 million in capital expenditures,” said Jeremy Wegner, Chatham’s chief financial officer. “We will continue to use our free cash flow after capital expenditures to reduce debt. With our well-positioned capital structure, strong coverage ratios and low cost of debt, we are prudently leveraged.”

Dividend

During the 2016 first quarter, Chatham’s Board of Trustees increased its regular monthly dividend by 10 percent, or $0.01 per common share, to $0.11 per common share. Chatham currently pays a monthly dividend of $0.11 per common share. “Our 2016 regular cash dividend per share of $1.30 represented approximately 57 percent of our estimated Adjusted FFO per share,” Craven stated.

Hotel Reinvestments/Expansions

No renovations were undertaken during the 2016 fourth quarter. The 32-suite expansion of the Residence Inn Palo Alto Mountain View in Silicon Valley opened in early October. “The tower expansion increased our hotel room count in Mountain View by 29 percent, and the 32 new studio king suites provide us the flexibility to augment our room revenue through revenue management strategies with our other suite types on property. Silicon Valley is home to some of the fastest growing companies in America, and the high-tech industry is one of the strongest industries in our economy,” Fisher highlighted. “In Mt. View, we effectively utilized a parcel of vacant land that was acquired approximately three years ago. Including land, our all-in investment was approximately $300 thousand per new room, significantly below market value.”

2017 Guidance

The company provides guidance, but does not undertake to update it for any developments in its business. Achievement of the results is subject to the risks disclosed in the company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The company’s 2017 guidance reflects the following:

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Included in this press release are certain “non-GAAP financial measures,” within the meaning of Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) rules and regulations, that are different from measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles). The company considers the following non-GAAP financial measures useful to investors as key supplemental measures of its operating performance: (1) FFO, (2) Adjusted FFO, (3) EBITDA, (4) Adjusted EBITDA and (5) Adjusted Hotel EBITDA. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered along with, but not as alternatives to, net income or loss as prescribed by GAAP as a measure of its operating performance.

FFO As Defined by NAREIT and Adjusted FFO

The company calculates FFO in accordance with standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT), which defines FFO as net income or loss (calculated in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains or losses from sales of real estate, impairment write-downs, the cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles, plus depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs), and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures following the same approach. The company believes that the presentation of FFO provides useful information to investors regarding its operating performance because it measures its performance without regard to specified non-cash items such as real estate depreciation and amortization, gain or loss on sale of real estate assets and certain other items that the company believes are not indicative of the property level performance of its hotel properties. The company believes that these items reflect historical cost of its asset base and its acquisition and disposition activities and are less reflective of its ongoing operations, and that by adjusting to exclude the effects of these items, FFO is useful to investors in comparing its operating performance between periods and between REITs that also report using the NAREIT definition.

The company calculates Adjusted FFO by further adjusting FFO for certain additional items that are not addressed in NAREIT’s definition of FFO, including hotel property acquisition costs and other charges, losses on the early extinguishment of debt and similar items related to its unconsolidated real estate entities that it believes do not represent costs related to hotel operations. The company believes that Adjusted FFO provides investors with another financial measure that may facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods and between REITs that make similar adjustments to FFO.

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA

The company calculates EBITDA for purposes of the credit facility debt as net income or loss excluding: (1) interest expense; (2) provision for income taxes, including income taxes applicable to sale of assets; (3) depreciation and amortization; and (4) unconsolidated real estate entity items including interest, depreciation and amortization excluding gains and losses from sales of real estate. The company believes EBITDA is useful to investors in evaluating its operating performance because it helps investors compare the company’s operating performance between periods and between REITs by removing the impact of its capital structure (primarily interest expense) and asset base (primarily depreciation and amortization) from its operating results. In addition, the company uses EBITDA as one measure in determining the value of hotel acquisitions and dispositions.

The company calculates Adjusted EBITDA by further adjusting EBITDA for certain additional items, including hotel property acquisition costs and other charges, gains or losses on the sale of real estate, losses on the early extinguishment of debt, amortization of non-cash share-based compensation and similar items related to its unconsolidated real estate entities, which it believes are not indicative of the performance of its underlying hotel properties entities. The company believes that Adjusted EBITDA provides investors with another financial measure that may facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods and between REITs that report similar measures.

Adjusted Hotel EBITDA is defined as net income before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, corporate general and administrative, hotel property acquisition costs, loss on early extinguishment of debt, interest and other income and income or loss from unconsolidated real estate entities. The Company presents Adjusted Hotel EBITDA because the Company believes it is useful to investors in comparing its hotel operating performance between periods and comparing its Adjusted Hotel EBITDA margins to those of our peer companies. Adjusted Hotel EBITDA represents the results of operations for its wholly owned hotels only.

Although the company presents FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA because it believes they are useful to investors in comparing the company’s operating performance between periods and between REITs that report similar measures, these measures have limitations as analytical tools. Some of these limitations are:

• FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA do not reflect the company’s cash expenditures, or future requirements, for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;
• FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, the company’s working capital needs;
• FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA do not reflect funds available to make cash distributions;
• EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA do not reflect the significant interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on the company’s debts;
• Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized may need to be replaced in the future, and FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA do not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements;
• Non-cash compensation is and will remain a key element of the company’s overall long-term incentive compensation package, although the company excludes it as an expense when evaluating its ongoing operating performance for a particular period using adjusted EBITDA;
• Adjusted FFO, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA do not reflect the impact of certain cash charges (including acquisition transaction costs) that result from matters the company considers not to be indicative of the underlying performance of its hotel properties; and
• Other companies in the company’s industry may calculate FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA differently than the company does, limiting their usefulness as a comparative measure.

In addition, FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA do not represent cash generated from operating activities as determined by GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to net income or loss, cash flows from operations or any other operating performance measure prescribed by GAAP. FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA are not measures of the Company’s liquidity. Because of these limitations, FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. The Company compensates for these limitations by relying primarily on its GAAP results and using FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA only supplementally. The Company’s consolidated financial statements and the notes to those statements included elsewhere are prepared in accordance with GAAP.

The company’s reconciliation of FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA to net income attributable to common shareholders, as determined under GAAP, is set forth below.
