|
CHICAGO, Feb 24, 2010 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Strategic Hotels & Resorts (NYSE: BEE) today reported results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2009. Fourth Quarter Recap
Full Year 2009 Recap
Chief Executive Officer Laurence Geller remarked, "GDP growth, which was 5.7 percent in the fourth quarter, has historically driven demand in our industry. This suggests we may have reached the bottom of the current lodging cycle and, along with a recent pickup in short-term group bookings and improving corporate and leisure demand, indicate the potential for a positive second half of 2010. "More specifically, meeting planners report being more optimistic about the outlook for the economy, and our hotels are reporting increased site visits, which will, at some point, likely translate into bookings. While visibility in the key group segment remains weak we are seeing some evidence of improvement as the rate of our cancellations and attritions are abating." Financial Results The company reported fourth quarter 2009 financial results as follows:
The company reported full year 2009 financial results as follows:
Impairment Losses and Other Charges Fourth quarter 2009 results include impairment and other charges totaling $49.8 million. Full year 2009 results include impairment charges totaling $130.8 million, of which $30.8 million has been reclassified in discontinued operations. These charges include an impairment charge to goodwill and long lived assets of $72.7 million, a $26.5 million write-down of the company's joint venture investment in the Hotel del Coronado and a $27.7 million write-down of development opportunities in Mexico. These one-time charges have been excluded from Comparable EBITDA, FFO and FFO per share metrics. Asset Sales and Other Transactions During the fourth quarter, the company closed on the sale of the Renaissance Le Parc hotel in Paris for a purchase price of euro 35.5 million (approximately $51.5 million) and the Four Seasons Mexico City for $54.0 million. Proceeds from the sales were used to enhance corporate liquidity. Mr. Geller commented, "As part of our planned balance sheet and liquidity strategies, during the fourth quarter of 2009 we completed two strategically important assets dispositions with the sales of our Renaissance Le Parc hotel in Paris and our Four Seasons in Mexico City. These transactions, in an exceptionally difficult environment, represent a tremendous execution on the part of our team and provide an indication of the underlying desirability of high-end hotels. Gross proceeds from the sales totaled over $100 million and will be used to supplement our corporate liquidity." During the third quarter, the company entered into a joint venture agreement on its 60-acre ocean front land parcel near the Four Seasons Punta Mita Resort in Nayarit, Mexico. Under the terms of the agreement, the company was released from its final installment payment of $17.5 million, which was due in August 2009, and will receive a preferred position on any future distributions from the partnership. During the first quarter of 2009, the company completed an amendment to its bank credit facility which reduced the facility's total size to $400.0 million, increased pricing to LIBOR plus 375 basis points and pledged security interests in previously unsecured hotel properties. In return, the company negotiated a reduction of the minimum corporate fixed charge coverage ratio to 0.9 times and an increase in maximum corporate leverage to 80%. Subsequent Event Last week, the company entered into an amendment with Aareal Bank AG on the euro 104.0 million non-recourse loan securing the InterContinental Prague hotel. Under the terms of the amendment, the loan remains non-recourse and the loan maturity is extended by three years from its initial maturity of March 2012 to March 2015. During the remainder of the initial term, scheduled principal amortization is removed and the financial performance covenants are effectively waived. Board of Directors During the third quarter, the company announced the appointment of new independent directors Raymond Gellein, former President of Starwood Hotels & Resorts' Global Development Group, and Eugene Reilly, President of AMB Property Corporation's Americas division. 2010 Guidance The company is not providing guidance for 2010 at this time as the current market environment provides insufficient visibility into future operating performance.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to REIT hotel income, five other non-GAAP financial measures
are presented for the Company 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. A reconciliation of these measures to net loss
attributable to SHR common shareholders, the most directly comparable
GAAP measure, is set forth in the following tables.
We compute FFO in accordance with standards established by the National
Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT, which 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 plus real estate-related depreciation and
amortization, and after adjustments for our portion of these items
related to unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. We also
present FFO - Fully Diluted, which is FFO plus income or loss on income
attributable to convertible noncontrolling interests. 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,
foreign currency exchange gains or losses and other non-recurring charges.
We believe that the presentation of FFO, FFO - Fully Diluted and
Comparable FFO provide 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. Comparable FFO per diluted share, in accordance with NAREIT,
is adjusted for the effects of dilutive securities. Dilutive securities
may include shares granted under share-based compensation plans,
operating partnership units and exchangeable debt securities. No effect
is shown for securities that are anti-dilutive.
EBITDA represents net 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; and (iii) depreciation and
amortization. EBITDA also excludes interest expense, income taxes and
depreciation and amortization of our equity method investments. EBITDA is
presented on a full participation basis, which means we have assumed
conversion of all convertible noncontrolling interests of our operating
partnership into our common stock and includes preferred dividends. We
believe this treatment of noncontrolling interests provides more 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 other non-recurring charges. 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 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 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 loss attributable to SHR
common shareholders. In addition, you should be aware that adverse
economic and market conditions might negatively impact our cash flow.
Below, 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 loss
attributable to SHR common shareholders, and provide an explanatory
description by footnote of the items excluded from FFO, FFO - Fully
Diluted, and EBITDA.
