Capital Expenditures

The Company has substantially completed its $140 million capital improvement program. During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company spent approximately $107.3 million on these capital improvements. The following is an update on the most significant capital projects.

   -- Lexington Hotel New York: The Company completed its comprehensive 
      renovation of the Lexington Hotel in October 2013. The hotel joined 
      Marriott's Autograph Collection during August 2013 and has increased 
      average daily rates by approximately $40 from the comparable period in 
      2012. 

   -- Manhattan Courtyards:  The Company completed the renovation of the guest 
      rooms, corridors and guest bathrooms at the Courtyard Manhattan/Midtown 
      East and Courtyard Manhattan/Fifth Avenue.  The renovation at the 
      Courtyard Midtown East included the addition of 5 new guest rooms. 

   -- Westin Washington D.C.:  A comprehensive $17 million renovation commenced 
      in October 2013 and was substantially completed in February 2014. 

   -- Westin San Diego: A comprehensive $14.5 million renovation commenced in 
      October 2013 and was substantially completed in January 2014. 

   -- Hilton Minneapolis: A $13 million renovation of the guest rooms, guest 
      bathrooms and corridors commenced in November 2013 and will be 
      substantially complete during the first quarter of 2014. 

   -- Hilton Boston: A $7 million renovation of the guest rooms, corridors, 
      public areas, and meeting space commenced in October 2013 and was 
      substantially completed at the end of 2013. 

   -- Hilton Burlington:  A $6 million renovation of the lobby, corridors, 
      guest rooms and outdoor space commenced in November 2013 and was 
      substantially completed in February 2014.

The Company expects to spend approximately $95 million on capital improvements at its hotels in 2014, of which approximately $45 million relates to the completion of 2013 capital projects in early 2014 and approximately $50 million relates to new 2014 capital projects.

Salt Lake City Marriott Refinancing

The Company entered into a new $63 million mortgage loan secured by the Salt Lake City Marriott in October 2013. The new loan has a term of seven years and bears interest at a fixed rate of 4.25%. As part of the refinancing, the Company prepaid the $27.3 million mortgage loan previously secured by the hotel, which had a fixed interest rate of 5.5 % and a maturity date of January 2015. The cost of prepaying the loan through defeasance was approximately $1.5 million, which is added back to Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted FFO. The Company used the proceeds from the new loan to repay the prior loan and to create additional investment capacity for the acquisition of the Hilton Garden Inn Times Square Central.

Sale of Torrance Marriott South Bay

On November 21, 2013, the Company sold the 487-room Torrance Marriott South Bay for approximately $76 million, which included credit for the hotel’s replacement reserve. The proceeds from the sale will be used to create investment capacity for the acquisition of the Hilton Garden Inn Times Square Central. The Torrance Marriott South Bay generated $5.4 million of Hotel Adjusted EBITDA during the year ended December 31, 2013.

Balance Sheet

As of December 31, 2013, the Company had $144.6 million of unrestricted cash on hand and approximately $1.1 billion of total debt, which consists solely of property-specific mortgage debt. The Company has no outstanding borrowings on its $200 million senior unsecured credit facility.

Dividends

The Company’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.085 per share to stockholders of record as of December 31, 2013. The dividend was paid on January 10, 2014. The Company increased its quarterly dividend for 2014 by 21% and its Board of Directors declared a dividend of $0.1025 per share for stockholders of record as of March 31, 2014.

Outlook and Guidance

The Company is providing annual guidance for 2014, but does not undertake to update it for any developments in its business. Achievement of the anticipated results is subject to the risks disclosed in the Company’s filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company’s outlook assumes the Hilton Garden Inn Times Square Central opens in August 2014. The 2014 Pro Forma RevPAR growth excludes the Hilton Garden Inn Times Square Central, which is expected to positively impact the Company’s RevPAR by approximately 75 basis points.

Based on the above assumptions, the Company expects its full year 2014 results to be as follows:

 
Metric                                 Low End         High End 
---------------------------------  ---------------  --------------- 
Pro Forma RevPAR Growth               9 percent       11 percent 

Adjusted EBITDA                     $230 million     $240 million 

Adjusted FFO                        $169 million     $176 million 

Adjusted FFO per share             $0.86 per share  $0.90 per share 
 (based on 196.5 million shares) 
---------------------------------  ---------------  ---------------

The Company expects approximately 16% of full year 2014 Adjusted EBITDA to be earned during the first quarter of 2014.

The midpoint of the guidance range above implies Hotel Adjusted EBITDA margin growth of over 250 basis points. For comparison purposes, the Company’s Pro Forma RevPAR growth outlook excluding the New York City hotels under renovation during 2013 is 5.5 percent to 7.5 percent.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We use the following non-GAAP financial measures that we believe are useful to investors as key measures of our operating performance: EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, FFO and Adjusted FFO. These measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance in accordance with GAAP. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, FFO and Adjusted FFO, as calculated by us, may not be comparable to other companies that do not define such terms exactly as the Company.

EBITDA and FFO

EBITDA represents net income excluding: (1) interest expense; (2) provision for income taxes, including income taxes applicable to sale of assets; and (3) depreciation and amortization. We believe EBITDA is useful to an investor in evaluating our operating performance because it helps investors evaluate and compare the results of our operations from period to period by removing the impact of our capital structure (primarily interest expense) and our asset base (primarily depreciation and amortization) from our operating results. In addition, covenants included in our indebtedness use EBITDA as a measure of financial compliance. We also use EBITDA as one measure in determining the value of hotel acquisitions and dispositions.

The Company computes FFO in accordance with standards established by NAREIT, which defines FFO as net income determined in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains or losses from sales of properties and impairment losses, plus depreciation and amortization. The Company believes that the presentation of FFO provides useful information to investors regarding its operating performance because it is a measure of the Company’s operations without regard to specified non-cash items, such as real estate depreciation and amortization and gain or loss on sale of assets. The Company also uses FFO as one measure in assessing its results.

Adjustments to EBITDA and FFO

We adjust EBITDA and FFO when evaluating our performance because we believe that the exclusion of certain additional recurring and non-recurring items described below provides useful supplemental information to investors regarding our ongoing operating performance and that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted FFO, when combined with GAAP net income, EBITDA and FFO, is beneficial to an investor’s complete understanding of our operating performance. We adjust EBITDA and FFO for the following items:

   -- Non-Cash Ground Rent: We exclude the non-cash expense incurred from the 
      straight line recognition of rent from our ground lease obligations and 
      the non-cash amortization of our favorable lease assets. 

   -- Non-Cash Amortization of Favorable and Unfavorable Contracts: We exclude 
      the non-cash amortization of the favorable management contract assets 
      recorded in conjunction with our acquisitions of the Westin Washington 
      D.C. City Center, Westin San Diego, and Hilton Burlington and the 
      non-cash amortization of the unfavorable contract liabilities recorded in 
      conjunction with our acquisitions of the Bethesda Marriott Suites, the 
      Chicago Marriott Downtown, the Renaissance Charleston and the Lexington 
      Hotel New York.  The amortization of the favorable and unfavorable 
      contracts does not reflect the underlying operating performance of our 
      hotels. 

   -- Cumulative Effect of a Change in Accounting Principle: Infrequently, the 
      Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) promulgates new accounting 
      standards that require the consolidated statement of operations to 
      reflect the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle.  We 
      exclude the effect of these one-time adjustments because they do not 
      reflect its actual performance for that period. 

   -- Gains or Losses from Early Extinguishment of Debt: We exclude the effect 
      of gains or losses recorded on the early extinguishment of debt because 
      we believe they do not accurately reflect the underlying performance of 
      the Company. 

   -- Acquisition Costs:  We exclude acquisition transaction costs expensed 
      during the period because we believe they do not reflect the underlying 
      performance of the Company. 

   -- Allerton Loan:  In 2012, due to the uncertainty of the timing of the 
      bankruptcy resolution, we excluded both cash interest payments received 
      and the legal costs incurred as a result of the bankruptcy proceedings 
      from our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted FFO.  Due to the 
      settlement of the bankruptcy proceedings and amended and restated loan, 
      we commenced recognizing interest income in 2013, which includes the 
      amortization of the difference between the carrying basis of the old loan 
      and face value of the new loan. Cash payments received during 2010 and 
      2011 that were included in Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted FFO and reduced 
      the carrying basis of the loan are now deducted from Adjusted EBITDA and 
      Adjusted FFO on a straight-line basis over the anticipated five-year term 
      of the new loan. 

   -- Other Non-Cash and /or Unusual Items:  From time to time we incur costs 
      or realize gains that we do not believe reflect the underlying
      performance of the Company.  Such items include, but are not limited to, 
      new hotel pre-opening costs, contract termination fees and severance 
      costs.  In 2012, we excluded the franchise termination fee paid to 
      Radisson Hotels International, Inc. for the Lexington Hotel New York.  In 
      2013, we excluded the severance costs associated with the departure of 
      our former President and Chief Operating Officer, as well as the write 
      off of unamortized key money, net of a termination payment, related to 
      the termination of the Oak Brook Hills Resort management agreement.

In addition, to derive Adjusted EBITDA we exclude gains or losses on sales of properties and impairment losses because we believe that including them in EBITDA is not consistent with reflecting the ongoing performance of our hotels. Additionally, the gains or losses on sales of properties and impairment losses represent either accelerated depreciation or excess depreciation in previous periods, and depreciation is excluded from EBITDA.

In addition, to derive Adjusted FFO we exclude any fair value adjustments to debt instruments. Specifically, we exclude the impact of the non-cash amortization of the debt premium recorded in conjunction with the acquisition of the JW Marriott Denver at Cherry Creek and fair market value adjustments to the Company’s interest rate cap agreement.

Use and Limitations of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

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

Certain Definitions

In this release, when we discuss “Hotel Adjusted EBITDA,” we exclude from Hotel EBITDA the non-cash expense incurred by the hotels due to the straight lining of the rent from our ground lease obligations, the non-cash amortization of our favorable lease assets and other contracts, the non-cash amortization of the unfavorable contract liabilities recorded in conjunction with the acquisitions of the Bethesda Marriott Suites, the Chicago Marriott Downtown, the Renaissance Charleston and the Lexington Hotel New York. Hotel EBITDA represents hotel net income excluding: (1) interest expense; (2) income taxes; and (3) depreciation and amortization. Hotel Adjusted EBITDA margins are calculated as Hotel Adjusted EBITDA divided by total hotel revenues. Net debt is calculated as total debt outstanding less unrestricted cash.
