 Host Marriott Reports a 3rd Quarter Loss of $47 million
Compared with a Loss of $16 million in Prior Year;
Expects RevPAR for Full Year 2002 to Decline
Between 4% and 5%
Hotel Operational Data
BETHESDA, Md., Oct. 16, 2002 - Host Marriott Corporation (NYSE: HMT), the nation's largest lodging real estate investment trust (REIT), today announced results of operations for the third quarter and thirty-six weeks ended September 6, 2002. The operating environment for the travel and leisure industry remains difficult primarily due to a weak economy that has resulted in reduced business and leisure travel. Third quarter results include the following: 
  • The Company's diluted loss per share was ($.18) and ($.15) for the third quarter and year-to-date 2002, respectively, versus diluted earnings/(loss) per share of ($.06) and $.21 for the same periods of 2001.
  • Total revenues were $789 million and $2,499 million for the third quarter and year-to-date 2002, respectively, versus $848 million and $2,715 million for the same periods of 2001.
  • Comparative Funds From Operations ("FFO") were $.15 and $.77 per diluted share for the third quarter and year-to-date 2002, respectively, versus FFO of $.28 and $1.24 per diluted share for the same periods of 2001.  FFO for the third quarter of 2002 includes $.03 per diluted share for the recognition of business interruption insurance proceeds for the New York Marriott Financial Center and Marriott World Trade Center hotels.
  • Earnings before Interest Expense, Income Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization and other non-cash items ("EBITDA") was $159 million and $602 million for the third quarter and year-to-date 2002, respectively, versus $185 million and $697 million for the same periods of 2001.
Operating Results

Comparable RevPAR for the third quarter, which ended on September 6, declined 8.9% while operating profit margins declined by 4.4 percentage points. If the Company reported on a calendar basis for the quarter, third quarter RevPAR would have increased approximately 3%. The Company's third quarter RevPAR decline was the result of a 6.7% reduction in average room rate and an occupancy decline of 1.7 percentage points. Year-to-date, comparable RevPAR declined 10.4% (8.1% decline in average room rate combined with an occupancy decline of 1.9 percentage points), while margins declined by 2.5 percentage points. The Company's urban, resort and conventions hotels, which contributed 69% of the year-to-date EBITDA, continue to outperform the overall portfolio with a year-to-date RevPAR decline of 7.6%. For the quarter, these hotels had a RevPAR decline of 8.1%.

Christopher J. Nassetta, president and chief executive officer, stated, "We are pleased with the results that we have been able to achieve this year in a difficult environment that has been heavily affected by the decline in business travel resulting from the weak economy. Our continued efforts to control hotel operating costs and our ability to shift our business mix has enabled us to meet expectations."

Balance Sheet

As of September 6, 2002, the Company had $394 million in cash on hand and $300 million of availability under its credit facility. The Company has no significant refinancing requirements until 2005 and does not believe that it will need to borrow under the credit facility during the balance of 2002.
Robert E. Parsons, executive vice president and chief financial officer, stated, "Given the changing economic environment, we have focused on maintaining our liquidity, recycling capital and upgrading our portfolio. Currently, we are in discussions with several potential buyers to dispose of as many as eight of our non-core hotels.  Proceeds from any dispositions would be available for investment in our current portfolio, repayment of debt or hotel acquisitions. We remain well positioned to deal with the difficult economic environment and prepared to take advantage of future opportunities."

Beginning in the third quarter of 2002, the Company implemented the expense recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," with retroactive application to employee stock options granted on or after January 1, 2002. The Company believes that this change will more accurately reflect the effect of stock options on net income and is consistent with the Company's goal of providing transparent reporting of its results.  The change had only a minimal effect on third quarter results and the Company expects only a minimal impact in the fourth quarter of this year.

2002 Outlook

The Company's updated guidance for RevPAR for full year 2002 is for a decline of between 4% and 5%. Based upon this guidance the Company estimates the following: 

  • FFO per share for the full year should be in the range of $1.05 to $1.10; and
  • EBITDA for the full year should be between $860 and $875 million.
The Company's policy on paying dividends is to distribute the minimum amount necessary to maintain REIT status, which is generally an amount equal to its taxable income. Based upon the current outlook, the Company expects that the dividend on its common stock for 2002, if any, would be minimal, although the Company intends to continue to pay dividends on its QUIPs and preferred shares.

Mr. Nassetta noted, "While the short term outlook is uncertain, we still believe that the intermediate and long-term outlook for the industry remains very positive. We expect that the supply growth rate for new hotels will remain low over the next several years. When combined with a strengthening economy, our superior portfolio of high quality, well managed hotels in premier locations should be well positioned to benefit. This should translate into meaningful growth in RevPAR, earnings and dividends."

    (b) Rental income and expense for the twelve and thirty-six weeks ended September 6, 2002 and September 7, 2001 are as follows:
 

                                Twelve weeks ended    Thirty-six weeks ended
                           September 6, September 7, September 6, September 7,
                              2002         2001          2002         2001

                              $19          $19           $55           $62

        Effective June 16, 2001, we repurchased from third parties the lessee entities with respect to four of the five full-service properties for which we had previously recorded rental income, terminating the leases for financial reporting purposes. Therefore, we currently record rental income with respect to only one full-service property. Rental and other expenses are included in taxes, insurance and other property-level expenses on the consolidated statements of operations.
    (c) We adopted SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets," effective January 1, 2002. Gains and losses from all subsequent sales of real estate, as well as any income or loss from the property prior to disposal, are required to be recorded as discontinued operations. In January 2002, we transferred the St. Louis Marriott Pavilion to the lender. The gain on the extinguishment of the debt has been recorded as an extraordinary item. All other operating results, including the loss on disposal, are recorded as discontinued operations. The total gain of $13 million is net of taxes of $8 million. We have restated prior year periods to reflect operations of the St. Louis Marriott Pavilion as discontinued operations.

Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) adjusted for dividends on preferred stock and potentially dilutive securities, by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding plus other potentially dilutive securities. Dilutive securities may include shares granted under comprehensive stock plans, common and preferred OP Units held by minority partners, minority interests that have the option to convert their limited partnership interest to common OP Units and the Convertible Preferred Securities.

    (a) Results are adjusted to include contingent rent which is deferred under SAB 101. This adjustment reflects revenues based on payment amounts calculated under our hotel leases. During the twenty-four weeks ended June 15, 2001, we leased five of our hotels to third parties. We purchased four of these lessee entities, effectively terminating the leases for reporting purposes, as of June 16, 2001.
    (b) This adjustment reflects the realization of the income tax benefit recognized as a result of the purchase of the 120 leasehold interests from Crestline and Wyndham at year-end 2000 and during June 2001.
    (c) The $5 million and $6 million deducted for the twelve weeks ended September 6, 2002 and September 7, 2001, respectively, and $20 million and the $53 million deducted for the thirty-six weeks ended September 6, 2002 and September 7, 2001, respectively, represent the Comparative FFO attributable to the interests in Host LP held by the minority partners in 2002 and 2001, respectively.

    (a) Comparative FFO per basic share is computed by dividing Comparative FFO available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Comparative FFO per diluted share is computed by dividing Comparative FFO available to common shareholders, as adjusted for potentially dilutive securities, by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding plus other potentially dilutive securities.  Dilutive securities may include shares granted under comprehensive stock plans, common and preferred OP Units held by minority partners, minority interests that have the option to convert their limited partnership interest to common OP Units and the Convertible Preferred Securities.
    (b) Minority common and preferred OP Units were antidilutive for all periods presented. For the twelve and thirty-six weeks ended September 6, 2002 there were 28 million and 26 million weighted average units outstanding with a minority interest in Comparative FFO of $5 million and $20 million, respectively. For the twelve and thirty-six weeks ended September 7, 2001 there were 22 million and 40 million weighted average units outstanding with a minority interest in comparative FFO of $6 million and $53 million, respectively. There would be no change in the reported Diluted Comparative Funds From Operations per share had these minority units been converted.

    (a) Includes the number of shares of common stock outstanding plus those common and preferred OP Units issuable or outstanding that are held by minority partners which potentially could be converted plus shares granted under comprehensive stock plans, which are assumed to be distributed, net of shares assumed repurchased at average market price.
    (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.
    (c) Total enterprise value is calculated as the fair value of our debt, plus outstanding shares of our preferred stock, equivalent common shares outstanding 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) We have not declared a dividend year-to-date on our common stock.
        During 2001, we paid three quarterly dividends of $.26 per share but did not pay a fourth quarter dividend. The responsibility to declare dividends is the sole responsibility of our board of directors.
    (e) 2002 dividends reflect a quarterly cash dividend of $.625 per share for the Class A, Class B and Class C Preferred Stock.  2001 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. The 2001 Class C Preferred Stock dividends reflect the pro rata dividend, based on the stated rate of 10% per annum on a liquidation value of $25 per share from the date of issuance. The responsibility to declare dividends is the sole responsibility of our board of directors.
    (f) In June 2002, the Company completed negotiations on a new bank credit facility to replace its prior credit line. The new credit facility provides the Company with an aggregate revolving loan commitment amount of $400 million ($300 million of which is available initially, with the balance becoming available to the extent that our leverage ratios meet specified levels).  The loan has an initial maturity of June 2005, with an option to extend for an additional year if certain conditions are met.  Interest on borrowings under the credit facility will be calculated based on a spread over LIBOR that will vary based on the Company's leverage ratio. As of September 6, 2002 and December 31, 2001, there were no outstanding borrowings under the credit facility.
    (g) 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 indenture for the senior notes and the credit facility agreement. Calculation of these ratios consistent with those agreements 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. The ratios are calculated for the thirty-six weeks and fifty-two weeks ended September 6, 2002 and December 31, 2001, respectively.
    (h) 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) 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 our 118 comparable properties, without consideration of whether these properties are leased.  During the thirty-six weeks ended September 6, 2002, one of our hotels was leased, and therefore, we recorded rental income. We also recorded rental income for four additional hotels between January 1, 2001 and June 15, 2001.  These leases were effectively terminated on June 16, 2001. We have presented this information because we feel that it may be useful to investors in determining the recurring operating performance 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.
    (b) Comparable properties consist of the 118 properties owned, directly or indirectly by us for the same period of time in each period covered, and excludes hotels with non-comparable operating environments as a result of acquisitions, dispositions, property damage and expansion and development projects.
    (c) 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.
