RLJ Lodging Trust Reports Second Quarter 2020 Results and Provides Business Update


RLJ Lodging Trust (the “Company”) (NYSE: RLJ) today reported results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and is providing a business update on its operating performance related to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

Highlights

  • Reopened 21 hotels during the second quarter and 15 hotels during the third quarter
  • Successfully amended unsecured revolver and term loans to waive certain financial covenants
  • Maintained a strong balance sheet with over $1.0 billion of unrestricted cash
  • Total revenue of $32.6 million
  • Net loss of ($116.2) million
  • Net loss per share of ($0.74)
  • Adjusted EBITDA of ($50.5) million
  • Adjusted FFO per diluted common share and unit of ($0.49)

"Against the backdrop of the most challenging quarter in our industry’s history, we made significant progress on several critical fronts; including reopening 21 hotels in a socially and financially responsible manner, reducing our monthly cash burn, and obtaining covenant waivers which created incremental flexibility," commented Leslie D. Hale, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Our second quarter performance underscores RLJ’s differentiating attributes including our lean operating model, the construct and geographic diversity of our portfolio, and our strong liquidity position. We believe these portfolio attributes provide us with an advantage that will allow us to navigate the current environment, emerge in a relative position of strength during the recovery, and enable us to take advantage of opportunities at the appropriate time.” Ms. Hale continued, “In light of the boarder discussion around racial equality today, it is important to affirm our unwavering commitment to diversity, which has always been a core value for RLJ. I remain proud of the diversity throughout all levels of our organization, including the Board of Trustees, and believe that RLJ can serve as real example for the broader REIT industry.”

The prefix “Pro forma” as defined by the Company, denotes operating results which include results for periods prior to its ownership and excludes sold hotels. Pro forma RevPAR and Pro forma Hotel EBITDA Margin are reported on a comparable basis and therefore exclude any hotels sold during the period and non-comparable hotels that were not open for operation or were closed for renovation for comparable periods. Explanations of EBITDA, EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDA, Hotel EBITDA, Hotel EBITDA Margin, FFO, and Adjusted FFO, as well as reconciliations of those measures to net income or loss, if applicable, are included within this release.

Business Update

Update on Hotel Re-openings

Concurrent with its first quarter earnings release, the Company announced suspension of operations at 57 hotels in response to state mandated stay-in-place orders and the significant reduction in demand due to the COVID-19 pandemic. As stay-in-place restrictions were lifted, the Company developed a framework to open hotels in a socially and financially responsible manner. Based on this framework, the Company reopened 21 hotels in the second quarter and 15 hotels during in the third quarter. The reopened hotels are primarily transient oriented, select-service and extended stay hotels located in drive-to and leisure markets. The Company continues to evaluate reopening additional hotels based on market conditions.

Currently, 82 of the company's 103 hotels are open. All open hotels continue to operate under aggressive operating cost containment plans, including significantly reduced staffing, elimination of non-essential amenities and services, and the closure of several floors and most food and beverage outlets.

Monthly Cash Burn Update

The Company is updating its prior estimate of monthly cash burn for the period from April to December 2020. The Company’s monthly cash burn during the second quarter was lower than expectations as hotel operating shortfalls were lower due to: higher revenues at hotels that were open for the entire quarter, primarily driven by the lift in leisure demand; incremental revenues from reopening more hotels during the second quarter than previously expected; and, greater cost savings from successful cost containment initiatives. These factors resulted in second quarter average hotel monthly operating shortfalls to be 40% below the Company’s prior estimates.

Based on the success in reducing the burn rate during the second quarter, the Company now estimates that average monthly cash burn across its portfolio will be approximately $25.0 million to $30.0 million (excluding capital investments), representing a $5.0 million reduction to the high end of the prior range and a $2.5 million reduction to the mid-point of the prior range. The current cash burn range is based on the following assumptions:

– Average hotel-level monthly operating shortfalls of approximately $5.0 million to $9.0 million

– Average hotel fixed costs of $7.0 million, which includes property taxes and insurance;

– Corporate-level monthly general and administrative cash expenses of $2.0 million; and

– Corporate-level outflows of $11.0 million to $12.0 million, which includes interest and scheduled principal payments on the Company’s outstanding debt as well as both common and preferred dividends.

The actual monthly cash burn will vary based on the level of lodging demand. Our monthly cash burn is expected to be at the low end of the range if lodging demand remains at current levels and the high end of the range if lodging demand contracts from current levels. Management continues to believe that its current liquidity has positioned the Company to withstand a protracted period of limited hotel demand.

Covenant Waiver Update

On June 25, 2020, the Company successfully amended its $1.8 billion senior unsecured credit facilities, comprising a $600.0 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) and $1,175 million in term loans. The amendments include the waiver of all financial maintenance covenants through the first quarter of 2021 and modification of certain financial covenant calculations through the second quarter of 2022. The Company is permitted to make certain investments during the relief period, subject to certain conditions, including $200.0 million of hotel acquisitions (depending on the outstanding balance on the Revolving Credit Facility), and approximately $260.0 million of capital expenditures.

Balance Sheet
As of June 30, 2020, the Company had over $1.0 billion of unrestricted cash on its balance sheet, $200 million undrawn under the Revolving Credit Facility, no debt maturities until 2022, and $2.6 billion of debt outstanding.

Dividends
The Company’s Board of Trustees declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.01 per common share of beneficial interest in the second quarter. The dividend was paid on July 15, 2020 to shareholders of record as of June 30, 2020.

The Company's Board of Trustees declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.4875 on the Company’s Series A Preferred Shares. The dividend was paid on July 31, 2020 to shareholders of record as of June 30, 2020.

2020 Outlook
Given the uncertainties related to the pandemic and its impact on travel, the Company is unable to provide a future outlook at this time.

Forward Looking Statements
The following information contains certain statements, other than purely historical information, including estimates, projections, statements relating to the Company’s business plans, objectives and expected operating results, measures being taken in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, and the assumptions upon which those statements are based, that are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These forward-looking statements generally are identified by the use of the words “believe,” “project,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “plan,” “may,” “will,” “will continue,” “intend,” “should,” or similar expressions. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions, beliefs and expectations, such forward-looking statements are not predictions of future events or guarantees of future performance and the Company’s actual results could differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements. Some factors that might cause such a difference include the following: the current global economic uncertainty and a worsening of global economic conditions or low levels of economic growth; the duration and scope of the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on the demand for travel and on levels of consumer confidence; actions governments, businesses and individuals take in response to the pandemic, including limiting or banning travel; the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and actions taken in response to the pandemic on global and regional economies, travel, and economic activity; the pace of recovery when the COVID-19 pandemic subsides; the effects of steps we and our third party management partners take to reduce operating costs; increased direct competition, changes in government regulations or accounting rules; changes in local, national and global real estate conditions; declines in the lodging industry, including as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic; seasonality of the lodging industry; risks related to natural disasters, such as earthquakes and hurricanes; hostilities, including future terrorist attacks or fear of hostilities that affect travel; the Company’s ability to obtain lines of credit or permanent financing on satisfactory terms; changes in interest rates; access to capital through offerings of the Company’s common and preferred shares of beneficial interest, or debt; the Company’s ability to identify suitable acquisitions; the Company’s ability to close on identified acquisitions and integrate those businesses; and inaccuracies of the Company’s accounting estimates. Given these uncertainties, undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. Except as required by law, the Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. The Company cautions investors not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements and urges investors to carefully review the disclosures the Company makes concerning risks and uncertainties in the sections entitled “Risk Factors,” “Forward-Looking Statements,” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in the Company’s Annual Report, as well as risks, uncertainties and other factors discussed in other documents filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

RLJ Lodging Trust
Non-GAAP and Accounting Commentary

Non-Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“Non-GAAP”) Financial Measures
The Company considers the following non-GAAP financial measures useful to investors as key supplemental measures of its performance: (1) FFO, (2) Adjusted FFO, (3) EBITDA, (4) EBITDAre, (5) Adjusted EBITDA, (6) Hotel EBITDA, and (7) Hotel EBITDA Margin. These Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered along with, but not as alternatives to, net income or loss as a measure of its operating performance. FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA, EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDA, Hotel EBITDA, and Hotel EBITDA Margin as calculated by the Company, may not be comparable to other companies that do not define such terms exactly as the Company.

Funds From Operations (“FFO”)
The Company calculates Funds from Operations ("FFO") in accordance with standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT, which defines FFO as net income or loss (calculated in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains or losses from sales of real estate, impairment, the cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles, plus depreciation and amortization, and adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Historical cost accounting for real estate assets implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values instead have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, most real estate industry investors consider FFO to be helpful in evaluating a real estate company’s operations. The Company believes that the presentation of FFO provides useful information to investors regarding the Company’s operating performance and can facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods and between real estate investment trusts (“REITs”), even though FFO does not represent an amount that accrues directly to common shareholders.

The Company’s calculation of FFO may not be comparable to measures calculated by other companies who do not use the NAREIT definition of FFO or do not calculate FFO per diluted share in accordance with NAREIT guidance. Additionally, FFO may not be helpful when comparing the Company to non-REITs. The Company presents FFO attributable to common shareholders, which includes unitholders of limited partnership interest (“OP units”) in RLJ Lodging Trust, L.P., the Company’s operating partnership, because the OP units are redeemable for common shares of the Company. The Company believes it is meaningful for the investor to understand FFO attributable to all common shares and OP units.

EBITDA and EBITDAre
Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization ("EBITDA") is defined as net income or loss excluding: (1) interest expense; (2) provision for income taxes, including income taxes applicable to sales of assets; and (3) depreciation and amortization. The Company considers EBITDA useful to an investor in evaluating and facilitating comparisons of its 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, EBITDA is used as one measure in determining the value of hotel acquisitions and dispositions.

In addition to EBITDA, the Company presents EBITDAre in accordance with NAREIT guidelines, which defines EBITDAre as net income or loss (calculated in accordance with GAAP) excluding interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization expense, gains or losses from sales of real estate, impairment, and adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. The Company believes that the presentation of EBITDAre provides useful information to investors regarding the Company's operating performance and can facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods and between REITs.

Adjustments to FFO, EBITDA and EBITDAre
The Company adjusts FFO, EBITDA, and EBITDAre for certain items that the Company considers either outside the normal course of operations or extraordinary. The Company believes that Adjusted FFO, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDAre provide useful supplemental information to investors regarding its ongoing operating performance that, when considered with net income or loss, FFO, EBITDA, and EBITDAre, is beneficial to an investor’s understanding of its operating performance. The Company adjusts FFO, EBITDA, and EBITDAre for the following items:

  • Transaction Costs: the Company excludes transaction costs expensed during the period
  • Non-Cash Expenses: the Company excludes the effect of certain non-cash items such as the amortization of share-based compensation, non-cash income taxes, and unrealized gains and loss related to interest rate hedges
  • Other Non-Operational Expenses: the Company excludes the effect of certain non-operational expenses representing income and expenses outside the normal course of operations

Hotel EBITDA and Hotel EBITDA Margin
With respect to Consolidated Hotel EBITDA, the Company believes that excluding the effect of corporate-level expenses and certain non-cash items provides a more complete understanding of the operating results over which individual hotels and operators have direct control. The Company believes property-level results provide investors with supplemental information about the ongoing operational performance of the Company’s hotels and the effectiveness of third-party management companies.

Pro forma Consolidated Hotel EBITDA includes prior ownership information provided by the sellers of the hotels for periods prior to our acquisition of the hotels, which has not been audited and excludes results from sold hotels as applicable. Pro forma Hotel EBITDA and Pro forma Hotel EBITDA Margin exclude the results of non-comparable hotels that were under renovation or not open for the entirety of the comparable periods. The following is a summary of pro forma hotel adjustments:
