 Host Marriott Reports Diluted Earnings Per Share of $.08
for the Full Year 2001, Versus $.63 for Full Year 2000
Hotel Operational Data

-
February 27, 2002 - Host Marriott Corporation , the nation�s largest hotel real estate investment trust (REIT), today announced results of operations for the fourth quarter and for the year ended December 31, 2001. Operating results for the fourth quarter and full year, which were impacted by a sluggish economy and significantly lower levels of travel nationwide following the terrorist attacks on September 11th, include the following:
  • Diluted earnings (loss) per share was $(.12) and $.08 for the fourth quarter and full year 2001, respectively, versus $1.14 and $.63 for the quarter and the full year 2000, respectively. 
  • Total revenues were $1,049 million and $3,754 million for the fourth quarter and full year 2001, respectively, versus $819 million and $1,407 million for the quarter and the full year 2000, respectively. The Company�s results in 2001 reflect hotel level sales while the results in 2000 primarily reflect rental income. 
  • Comparative Funds From Operations (�FFO�) were $.16 and $1.42 per diluted share for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2001, respectively versus FFO of $.64 and $2.01 per diluted share for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2000, respectively. 
  • Earnings before Interest Expense, Income Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization and other non-cash items (�EBITDA�) for 2001 was $217 million and $949 million for the fourth quarter and the full year 2001, respectively, versus $349 million and $1,098 million for the quarter and the full year 2000, respectively. 
Operating Results

Comparable RevPAR for the fourth quarter declined 28.3% and operating profit margins declined by 5.0 percentage points. The Company�s fourth quarter RevPAR decline was driven by a 12.6% reduction in average room rate and occupancy declines of 13.4 percentage points. It is important to note that the Company�s fourth quarter began on September 8th, and therefore, the reported results include the severely depressed environment in the weeks immediately following the terrorist attacks. If the Company had reported on a calendar year quarter, the comparable RevPAR decline would have been 22.7% and operating profit margins would be down approximately 3 percentage points. Comparable RevPAR for the full year decreased 13% and operating profit margins declined by 2.5 percentage points. The Company�s full year RevPAR decline was driven by a 3.5% reduction in average room rate and occupancy declines of 7.7 percentage points.
Mr. Christopher J. Nassetta, president and chief executive officer, stated, �During the quarter we accelerated our year-long effort to improve operating margins by working with our operators to control costs. As a result of these efforts, our margins were better than anticipated and we continue to see this positive trend in 2002. Although some of these savings are not permanent, we believe that we have achieved meaningful long-term efficiencies.�

Balance Sheet

During the fourth quarter the Company amended its bank credit facility to ease certain restrictive covenants through August 2002. It also issued $450 million of senior notes at a fixed interest rate of 9.5% maturing in 2007.  Additionally, in order to take advantage of low interest rates, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement, effective in January 2002, to convert the fixed rate of the senior notes to a floating rate. The proceeds from the issuance of the senior notes were used to pay down the majority of the amount outstanding under the bank credit facility.

The Company sold two of its non-core hotel properties for approximately $65 million in December and used the proceeds to pay the remaining balance outstanding under the bank credit facility, with the balance retained for general corporate purposes. As of December 31, 2001, the Company had $352 million in cash on hand and no amounts outstanding on its bank credit facility.  As a result of the actions taken, the Company has no significant maturities until 2005 and approximately 90% of the debt has a fixed rate of interest with a weighted average interest rate of 8.2%. The Company intends to negotiate a new long-term bank credit facility during 2002 that will be smaller but more flexible than the existing agreement.

Mr. Robert Parsons, executive vice president and chief financial officer, stated, �We are pleased with the progress we made in the fourth quarter to increase our liquidity and strengthen our balance sheet. We believe we have the financial flexibility to deal with the current economic uncertainties and the ability to take advantage of opportunities as they arise.�

2002 Outlook

The Company guidance for RevPAR for full year 2002 is a range between flat to down 4%. Based upon this guidance the Company estimates the following:

  • FFO per share for the full year should be in the range of $1.00 to $1.20; and
  • EBITDA for the full year should be between ($830 and $910 million).
The Company policy on dividends generally has been to distribute the minimum amount necessary to maintain REIT status. The Company will carefully review its operating and taxable income on a quarterly basis and will reinstate the dividend on the common stock when operations have improved sufficiently so that the taxable income estimate supports such a payment. If RevPAR is at the lower end of the range the Company does not believe that the level of taxable income will require the Company to pay a common dividend in 2002. It is likely that when the common dividend is reinstated, it will be meaningfully lower than the level for the first three quarters of 2001. The Company intends to continue to pay dividends on QUIPs and preferred stock.

Mr. Nassetta added, �We are hopeful that the positive trends we have seen thus far will continue for the rest of the year and into 2003. We believe that the significant decline in supply for 2003 and the next several years, matched with increasing demand from a strengthening economy, should ultimately result in meaningful growth in RevPAR, earnings and shareholder value.�

As a result of acquiring certain leases from Crestline Capital Corporation, effective January 1, 2001, and subsequently  acquiring four additional hotel leases, effective June 16, 2001,  Host LP leases 120 of its full-service hotels to its wholly-owned taxable REIT subsidiary.  Accordingly, our consolidated results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2001 represent the gross hotel sales and expenses from our properties rather than rental income from third party lessees that we previously reported as revenues.
(b) The staff of the Securities & Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin 101 �Revenue Recognition� (SAB 101) in  December 1999.  SAB 101 discusses factors to consider in determining when contingent revenue should be recognized during interim periods.  As of December 31, 2001 and 2000, our hotel sales reached the annual levels under the leases for payment of percentage rent, and therefore, all previously deferred rent was recognized.  Accordingly, included in rental income for the sixteen weeks ended December 31, 2001 and 2000 is $18 million and $366 million, respectively, of previously deferred rent.  SAB 101 has no effect on the full year results for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000.

(a) Results for the sixteen weeks ended December 31, 2001 and 2000 areadjusted to reflect contingent rent which was previously deferred under SAB 101.  This adjustment reflects revenues based on payment amounts calculated under our hotel leases.
(b) Host REIT holds approximately 92% and 78% of the outstanding OP Units of Host LP at December 31, 2001 and December 31, 2000, respectively.  This adjustment reflects the comparative funds from operations attributable to the minority partners of Host LP based on the weighted average minority interest outstanding during the year.
© Comparative FFO per basic share is computed by dividing comparative funds from operations available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding.
(d) Diluted shares include a provision for the assumed conversion of the minority limited partners� interest and preferred OP Units in Host LP to our common shares.  Additionally, the calculation includes shares from the assumed conversion of those minority partners of subsidiary partnerships of Host LP that have the option to convert their limited partnership interests to OP units and a corresponding conversion of those OP Units to common stock.  Should the conversions of these minority interests occur, we would then receive the additional cash flow and the equity value from the acquired limited partnership interests.
(e) The 2001 and 2000 results have been adjusted to reflect the non-recurring loss of $5 million and $207 million, respectively, and the related benefit for income taxes of $2 million and $82 million, respectively, associated with the lease repurchases.  Additionally, as the amortization of the tax benefit related to the lease repurchases effectively reduces the current taxes paid, the results are adjusted to include the amortization of the tax benefit related to the lease repurchases.

(a) Includes the number of shares of common stock outstanding plus shares granted under comprehensive stock plans and those common and preferred OP Units issuable or outstanding that are held by minority partners which potentially could be converted.  Excludes potential shares of 30.9 million and 31.0 million in 2001 and 2000, respectively, from the potential conversion of Convertible Preferred Securities.
(b) Share prices are the closing price on the balance sheet date, as reported by the New York Stock Exchange for the common and  preferred stock.  The shares of Convertible Preferred Securities are not traded on an exchange.  The per share price is the higher of the buy or sell price as provided by the trading desk for Goldman Sachs in New York, New York.
© Total enterprise value is calculated as the fair value of our debt, plus outstanding shares of our preferred stock, diluted common shares outstanding excluding Convertible Preferred Securities as computed in footnote (a), and the Convertible Preferred Securities multiplied by the closing stock prices on the balance sheet date.  Total enterprise value is based on a market price as of the balance sheet date and should not be deemed to represent the fair market value of the company.
(d) During 2001, we declared quarterly dividends of $.26 per share.  We did not declare a fourth quarter 2001 dividend as we believe that we have already distributed the amount of taxable income necessary for 2001 to qualify as a REIT.  We declared total dividends of $.91 per share in 2000.  The responsibility to declare dividends is the sole responsibility of our board of directors.
(e) 2001 and 2000 dividends reflect quarterly cash dividends of $.625 per share, or an annual dividend of $2.50 per share, for both Class A and Class B Preferred Stock.  2001 dividends reflect the pro rata dividend, based on the stated rate of 10% per annum on a liquidation value of $25 per share for the Class C Preferred Stock, from the date of issuance.  On an annualized basis, the Class C Preferred Stock will earn $2.50 per share.
(f) In order to take advantage of favorable interest rates, the company entered into an interest rate swap agreement and will begin paying a floating rate of interest effective January 15, 2002.  If the swap agreement had been effective as of December 31, 2001, the percentage of fixed rate debt would have been 90%.
(g) The company has a bank credit facility which it entered into in 1998 and subsequently modified in August 2000 and November 2001.  The original facility was for $1.25 billion and matured in three years.  In May 2000 the borrowing capacity under the facility was reduced to $775 million.  The last modification to the facility was in November 2001, which reduced the available capacity to $50 million through August 2002 and temporarily amended certain covenants as a result of the economic recession and the events of September 11, 2001.  Borrowings under the facility bear interest currently at the Eurodollar rate plus 225 basis points.  As of December 31, 2001 there were no outstanding borrowings under the facility.
(h) These ratios are intended to provide an investor with an understanding of our ability to make interest and principal payments on our current debt structure.  The financial ratios are not calculated in the same manner as required by the indentures for the senior notes and the line of credit.  Calculation of these ratios consistent with those indentures would require, among other items, presentation of certain pro forma financial information which has not been provided.  In addition, the coverage ratios have been calculated using EBITDA of Host LP.
(i) Cash interest is calculated as interest expense under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, less  amortization of deferred costs and other non-cash interest expense, plus capitalized interest.

(a) The schedules of property-level results represent the unaudited results of operations of our 116 comparable properties without consideration of whether these properties are leased to outside parties.  In connection with the REIT conversion substantially all of these properties were leased to Crestline Capital Corporation through December 31, 2000.  Hotel operators conduct the day-to-day management of the hotels pursuant to management agreements.  Additionally, the sales and expenses are not subject to our system of internal accounting controls.  We have presented this information because we feel that it may be useful to investors in determining the unleveraged economic value of our properties.  However, this should not be deemed to be a method for the calculation of the market value of either Host REIT or the hotel properties.  It also does not represent the value at which we could sell the properties on the open market.  Additionally, our management and lease agreements restrict our ability to sell properties without incurring significant fees for termination of these agreements.
(b) Comparable properties consist of the 116 properties owned, directly or indirectly, by us for the entire 2001 and 2000 fiscal years, excluding nine hotels with non-comparable operating environments as a result of acquisitions, dispositions, property damage, and expansion and development projects.
© Hotel sales and expenses represent the unaudited comparable gross hotel results, which includes room, food and beverage and other hotel revenues and expenses generated by the properties.  Gross hotel sales and expenses are presented here to provide a means of comparison of property-level results which investors may find useful.  However, these gross sales and expenses do not represent our reported results of operations for the sixteen weeks and year ended December 31, 2000.  Our rental income under each lease, which represented results of operation for 2000 as well as for five hotels in first and second quarters 2001 and two hotels in third and fourth quarters 2001, is the greater of base or percentage rent as defined in the lease agreements.  Percentage rent applicable to room, food and beverage, and other types of hotel revenue varies by lease and is calculated by multiplying fixed percentages by the total amount of such revenues over specified threshold amounts.  Both the minimum rents and the revenue thresholds used in computing percentage rents are subject to annual adjustments based on increases in the United States Consumer Price Index and the Labor Index, as defined in the lease agreements.
(d) As stated above, these results represent comparable property-level results and are not the revenues or operating profit of Host REIT for all periods presented.  Further, certain significant cost items normally recorded under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States including interest expense, lease payments, depreciation and amortization have not been included in the calculation of property-level profit.  Additionally, the property-level profit does not reflect our EBITDA reported herein or that of our lessee.
