Comparable hotel portfolio includes 303 hotels of the total 313 hotels owned as of March 31, 2019.  

First Quarter 2019 Financial and Operating Results

The Company reported net loss attributable to CorePoint Lodging stockholders of $27 million, or $0.47 loss per fully diluted share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2019, compared to net loss attributable to CorePoint Lodging stockholders of $15 million, or $0.26 loss per fully diluted share, for quarter ended March 31, 2018. The year-over-year difference is primarily due to higher operating expenses, including depreciation and amortization, and interest expense.

Comparable RevPAR for the first quarter of 2019 increased 3.0% over the same period of 2018, driven by an increase of 200 basis points in comparable Occupancy. Top performing markets included the South Florida markets as well as Atlanta, Austin, Orlando, and San Francisco.

Adjusted EBITDAre for the first quarter of 2019 was $43 million as compared to $37 million on a pro forma basis for the same period in 2018. Increases in rooms revenue during the first quarter of 2019 more than offset increases in hotel operating expenses.  

Insurance Claims Update

All properties impacted by the 2017 and 2018 Hurricanes, except for the Company’s property in Panama City, Florida, are open.  

CorePoint expects that insurance proceeds, excluding any applicable insurance deductibles, will be sufficient to cover a significant portion of the property damage to the hotels and the related operating loss.  Through March 31, 2019, the Company has received approximately $13 million in total business interruption insurance proceeds, which includes approximately $1 million received during the first quarter of 2019 that is excluded from Adjusted EBITDAre.

Capital Investments

The Company invested approximately $22 million in the first quarter of 2019 in capital improvements.  As of March 31, 2019, all 54 hotels in the Company’s strategic repositioning program, except for one property in Los Angeles, California, have completed the construction phase of their renovations.  The Company expects to complete construction on the one remaining repositioning hotel in the second quarter of 2019.

Tax Matters Agreement Update  

As previously disclosed, in connection with the spin-off and La Quinta merger transaction, the parties agreed to set aside $240 million as a reserve amount to pay certain taxes that will be due as a result of the spin-off and related transactions.  If the tax amount due is less than $240 million, the remaining amount will be paid to CorePoint in cash.  While the determination of the ultimate tax amount due is ongoing, CorePoint currently expects the $240 million reserve to be more than sufficient to cover such tax liability.

Balance Sheet and Liquidity

As of March 31, 2019, the Company had total cash and cash equivalents of $61 million, excluding lender escrows of approximately $15 million, and no borrowings on its $150 million revolving credit facility.  

At the end of the first quarter of 2019, the Company had total debt principal outstanding of $1.031 billion, which consisted of the following:

Dispositions

On March 1, 2019, the Company sold one 132-room hotel located in Chattanooga, Tennessee for a total gross sale price of approximately $2 million.

On March 6, 2019, the Company sold one 122-room hotel located in Tuscaloosa, Alabama for a total gross sale price of approximately $2 million.

The net proceeds from these two sales were used to repay debt outstanding on the CMBS Loan.

Subsequent to quarter end, in May 2019, the Company sold three hotels, totaling 395 rooms for a total gross sales price of approximately $16 million.  Two of the properties sold were located in Savannah, Georgia and one property was located in Aurora, Colorado.  

The net proceeds from these sales were used to repay debt outstanding on the CMBS Loan.

Dividend  

On March 21, 2019, our Board of Directors authorized and the Company declared a cash dividend of $0.20 per share of common stock with respect to the first quarter of 2019.  The first quarter dividend was paid on April 15, 2019 to stockholders of record as of April 2, 2019.

On May 14, 2019, our Board of Directors authorized and the Company declared a cash dividend of $0.20 per share of common stock with respect to the second quarter of 2019.  The second quarter dividend will be paid on July 15, 2019 to stockholders of record as of June 28, 2019. All future dividends will be at the sole discretion of CorePoint’s Board of Directors.

Share Repurchase Program  

On March 21, 2019, our Board of Directors authorized a $50 million share repurchase program.  

The Company began repurchasing shares of its common stock in March 2019.  To date, the Company has repurchased 1.8 million shares of its common stock at an average price of $11.58 per share for a total purchase price of $21 million.  The Company repurchased 0.7 million shares of its common stock at an average price of $10.72 per share during the first quarter of 2019.  Subsequent to quarter end, the Company repurchased 1.1 million shares of its common stock at an average price of $12.12 per share.  The Company has approximately $29 million of remaining authorized capacity under its existing $50 million share repurchase program.    

Under the program, the Company may purchase shares in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or in such other manner as determined by it, including through repurchase plans complying with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The amount and timing of any repurchases made under the share repurchase program will depend on a variety of factors, including available liquidity, cash flow and market conditions. The share repurchase program does not obligate Company to repurchase any dollar amount or number of shares of common stock and the program may be suspended or discontinued at any time.

Forward-Looking Statements

 

This press release contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of 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 include statements relating to the expected timing, completion and effects of the ongoing hotel strategic repositioning program, as well as other statements representing management’s beliefs about future events, transactions, strategies, operations and financial results and other non-historical statements, including, without limitation, the statements in the “Outlook” section of this press release. Such forward-looking statements often contain words such as “assume,” “will,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “predict,” “project,” “potential,” “contemplate,” “plan,” “forecast,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “is targeting,” “may,” “should,” “would,” “could,” “goal,” “seek,” “hope,” “aim,” “continue” and other similar words or expressions or the negative thereof or other variations thereon. Forward-looking statements are made based upon management’s current expectations and beliefs and are not guarantees of future performance. Such forward-looking statements involve numerous assumptions, risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in any such statements. The Company’s actual business, financial condition or results of operations may differ materially from those suggested by forward-looking statements as a result of risks and uncertainties which include, among others: risks related to the Company’s recent spin-off from La Quinta and the merger of La Quinta’s management and franchise business with Wyndham Worldwide Corporation; business and financial risks inherent to the lodging industry; macroeconomic and other factors beyond the Company’s control; the geographic concentration of the Company’s hotels; the Company’s inability to compete effectively; the Company’s concentration in the La Quinta brand; the Company’s dependence on the performance of La Quinta and other third-party hotel managers; covenants in the Company’s hotel franchise agreements that limit or restrict the sale of its hotels; risks posed by the Company’s acquisition, redevelopment, repositioning, renovation and re-branding activities, as well as its disposition activities; risks resulting from significant investments in real estate; cyber threats and the risk of data breaches or disruptions; the growth of internet reservation channels; and the Company’s substantial indebtedness. Additional risks and uncertainties include, among others, those risks and uncertainties described under “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, which was filed with the SEC on March 21, 2019, as such factors may be updated from time to time in the Company’s periodic filings with the SEC. You are urged to carefully consider all such factors. Although it is believed that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable and are expressed in good faith, such expectations may not prove to be correct and persons reading this communication are therefore cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only to expectations as of the date of this communication. The Company does not undertake or plan to update or revise forward-looking statements to reflect actual results, changes in plans, assumptions, estimates or projections, or other circumstances occurring after the date of this communication, even if such results, changes or circumstances make it clear that any forward-looking information will not be realized. If the Company makes any future public statements or disclosures which modify or impact any of the forward-looking statements contained in or accompanying this press release, such statements or disclosures will be deemed to modify or supersede such statements in this press release.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

The Company refers to certain non-GAAP financial measures in this press release including FFO, Adjusted FFO, Pro Forma Adjusted FFO, Adjusted FFO per diluted share, EBITDA, EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDAre, Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDAre, Comparable Hotel Adjusted EBITDAre, Pro Forma Comparable Hotel Adjusted EBITDAre, Comparable Hotel Adjusted EBITDAre margin, and Pro Forma Comparable Hotel Adjusted EBITDAre margin. All such non-GAAP financial measures are unaudited. Please see the tables to this press release for definitions of such non-GAAP financial measures and reconciliations of such financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure for historical periods.

A reconciliation of anticipated full-year 2019 Adjusted EBITDAre and Adjusted FFO per diluted share to the closest GAAP financial measures is not available on a forward-looking basis without unreasonable efforts due to the high variability, complexity and uncertainty with respect to forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliations, including net income (loss) and adjustments that could be made for impairment charges, gains or losses on sales of assets, and the timing and magnitude of other amounts in the reconciliation of historic numbers.  For the same reasons, the Company is unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information, which could have a potentially unpredictable, and potentially significant, impact on its future GAAP financial results.

Pro Forma Financial Information

 

Certain financial measures and other information have been adjusted for CorePoint’s historical debt and related balances and interest expense to give the net effect to financing transactions that were completed in connection with the spin-off, incremental fees based on the terms of the post spin-off management and franchise agreements, the removal of costs incurred related to the spin-off, the establishment of CorePoint as a separate stand-alone public company, adjustments to income tax expense based on CorePoint’s post spin-off REIT tax structure and adjustments to reflect post spin-off corporate general and administrative costs. Further adjustments have been made to reflect the effects of hotels disposed of during the periods presented. When presenting such information, the amounts are identified as “Pro Forma.”  The Pro Forma financial measures are based on preliminary estimates, accounting judgments and currently available information and assumptions that management believes are reasonable.  Accordingly, the Pro Forma financial data is not necessarily indicative of our financial position or results of operations had the transactions described above for which we are giving pro forma effect actually occurred on the dates indicated.

RECONCILIATIONS

Prior to the consummation of CorePoint’s spin-off from LaQuinta on May 30, 2018, CorePoint had no material business transactions or activities. In connection with the spin-off, La Quinta conveyed its owned real estate assets and certain related assets and liabilities to CorePoint and CorePoint completed certain debt financing transactions.

 

The unaudited Pro Forma financial data for the three months ended March 31, 2018 are presented as if the spin-off and related transactions all had occurred on January 1, 2017. The unaudited Pro Forma combined financial information excludes items that are not expected to have a continuing effect on the Company. Adjustments include CorePoint’s historical debt and related balances and interest expense to give net effect to the financing transactions that were completed in connection with the spin-off, incremental fees based on the terms of the post spin-off management and franchise agreements, the removal of costs incurred related to the spin-off, the establishment of CorePoint as a separate stand-alone public company, adjustments to income tax expense based on CorePoint’s post spin-off REIT tax structure, and adjustments to reflect post spin-off corporate general and administrative costs. Further adjustments have been made to reflect the effects of hotels disposed of during the periods presented. The Pro Forma financial measures are based on preliminary estimates, accounting judgments and currently available information and assumptions that management believes are reasonable. Accordingly, the unaudited Pro Forma financial data is not necessarily indicative of our financial position or results of operations had the transactions described above for which we are giving pro forma effect actually occurred on the dates indicated.

 

The tables below provide a reconciliation of the Pro Forma financial information, for the Company to the Company’s historical information, a reconciliation of Hotel Adjusted EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDAre, EBITDAre and EBITDA to Net Income, both on a Pro Forma and historical basis and a reconciliation of FFO and Adjusted FFO to Net Income, both on a Pro Forma and historical basis.  We believe this financial information provides meaningful supplemental information because it reflects the portion of the La Quinta business that was conveyed to CorePoint and the ongoing effects of the other spin-off related transactions. This represents how management views the business and reviews our operating performance. It is also used by management when publicly providing the business outlook. See the definitions of “EBITDA,” “EBITDAre,” “Adjusted EBITDAre,” “Comparable Hotel Adjusted EBITDAre,” “FFO” and “Adjusted FFO,” including Pro Forma adjusted amounts for a further explanation of the use of these measures.

“EBITDA.” Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) is a commonly used measure in many REIT and non-REIT related industries. The Company believes EBITDA is useful in evaluating our operating performance because it provides an indication of our ability to incur and service debt, to satisfy general operating expenses, and to make capital expenditures.  We calculate EBITDA excluding discontinued operations.  

“EBITDAre.”  The Company presents EBITDAre in accordance with guidelines established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”).  NAREIT defines EBITDAre as net income or loss, excluding interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, gains or losses on the disposition of property, impairments, and adjustments to reflect the entity’s share of EBITDAre of unconsolidated affiliates.  The Company believes EBITDAre is a useful performance measure to help investors evaluate and compare the results of the Company’s operations from period to period.  EBITDAre is intended to be a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that is independent of a company’s capital structure.

“Adjusted EBITDAre.”  The Company adjusts EBITDAre when evaluating its performance because the Company believes that the adjustment for certain items, such as restructuring and separation transaction expenses, acquisition and disposition transaction expenses, stock-based compensation expense, discontinued operations, and other items not indicative of ongoing operating performance, provides useful supplemental information to management and investors regarding its ongoing operating performance. The Company believes that EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre provide useful information to investors about it and its financial condition and results of operations for the following reasons: (i) EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre are among the measures used by the Company’s management to evaluate its operating performance and make day-to-day operating decisions; and (ii) EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre are frequently used by securities analysts, investors, lenders and other interested parties as a common performance measure to compare results or estimate valuations across companies in and apart from the Company’s industry sector.

EBITDA, EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre are not recognized terms under GAAP, have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered either in isolation or as a substitute for net income (loss), cash flow or other methods of analyzing the Company’s results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are that these measures:

 

do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, the Company’s working capital needs;

 

do not reflect the Company’s interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on its indebtedness;

 

do not reflect the Company’s tax expense or the cash requirements to pay its taxes;

 

do not reflect historical cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;

9


 

EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre do not include gains or losses on the disposition of properties which may be material to our operating performance and cash flow;

 

do not reflect the impact on earnings or changes resulting from matters that the Company considers not to be indicative of our future operations, including but not limited to discontinued operations, impairment, acquisition and disposition activities and restructuring expenses;

 

although depreciation, amortization and impairment are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated, amortized or impaired will often have to be replaced, upgraded or repositioned in the future, and EBITDA, EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre do not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements; and

 

other companies in the Company’s industry may calculate EBITDA, EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre differently, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures.

Because of these limitations, EBITDA, EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre should not be considered as a replacement to net income presented in accordance with GAAP, discretionary cash available to the Company to reinvest in the growth of its business or as measures of cash that will be available to the Company to meet its obligations.

“Comparable Hotel Adjusted EBITDAre” measures property-level results at the Company’s Comparable hotels before corporate-level expenses and is a key measure of the hotel’s profitability. The Company presents Pro Forma Hotel Adjusted EBITDAre to help the Company and its investors evaluate the ongoing operating performance of the Company’s properties.

“Comparable Hotel Adjusted EBITDAre margin” represents the ratio of Pro Forma Comparable Hotel Adjusted EBITDAre to pro forma total revenues.

Funds from operations (“FFO”) and “Adjusted FFO”. We present NAREIT FFO attributable to stockholders and NAREIT FFO per diluted share (defined as set forth below) as non-GAAP measures of our performance.  We calculate FFO attributable to stockholders for a given operating period in accordance with standards established by NAREIT, as net income or loss attributable to stockholders (calculated in accordance with GAAP), excluding depreciation and amortization related to real estate, gains or losses on sales of certain real estate assets, impairment write-downs of real estate assets, discontinued operations, income taxes related to sales of certain real estate assets, and the cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles, plus adjustments for unconsolidated joint ventures.  Adjustments for unconsolidated joint ventures are calculated to reflect our pro rata share of the FFO of those entities on the same basis.  Since real estate values historically have risen or fallen with market conditions, many industry investors have considered presentation of operating results for real estate companies that use historical cost accounting to be insufficient by themselves. For these reasons, NAREIT adopted the FFO metric in order to promote an industry wide measure of REIT operating performance. We believe NAREIT FFO provides useful information to investors regarding our operating performance and can facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods and between REITs. Our presentation may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs that do not define the terms in accordance with the current NAREIT definition, or that interpret the current NAREIT definition differently than we do.  We calculate NAREIT FFO per diluted share as our NAREIT FFO divided by the number of fully diluted shares outstanding during a given operating period.

We also present Adjusted FFO attributable to stockholders and Adjusted FFO per diluted share when evaluating our performance because we believe that the exclusion of certain additional items described below provides useful supplemental information to investors regarding our ongoing operating performance. Management historically has made the adjustments detailed below in evaluating our performance and in our annual budget process. We believe that the presentation of Adjusted FFO provides useful supplemental information that is beneficial to an investor’s complete understanding of our operating performance.  We adjust NAREIT FFO attributable to stockholders for the following items, and refer to this measure as Adjusted FFO attributable to stockholders: transaction expense associated with the potential disposition or acquisition of real estate or businesses, severance expense, share-based compensation expense, litigation gains and losses outside the ordinary course of business, amortization of deferred financing costs, reorganization costs and separation transaction expenses, loss on early extinguishment of debt, straight-line ground lease expense, casualty losses, deferred tax expense and other items that we believe are not representative of our current or future operating performance.

NAREIT FFO attributable to stockholders and Adjusted FFO attributable to stockholders are not recognized terms under GAAP, have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered either in isolation or as a substitute for net income (loss), cash flow or other methods of analyzing our results as reported under GAAP. NAREIT FFO is not an indication of our liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to fund dividends. NAREIT FFO is also not a useful measure in evaluating net asset value because impairments are taken into account in determining net asset value but not in determining NAREIT FFO.  Investors are cautioned that we may not recover any impairment charges in the future. Accordingly, NAREIT FFO should be reviewed in connection with GAAP measurements.  We believe our presentation of NAREIT FFO is in accordance with the NAREIT definition; however, our NAREIT FFO may not be comparable to amounts calculated by other REITs.

Additional information:

 

 

Adjusted EBITDAre for the three months ended March 31, 2019 has been adjusted to exclude business interruption insurance proceeds of $1 million collected and included as income in net loss attributable to CorePoint Lodging stockholders. There was no similar collection and accordingly no similar adjustment for the three months ended March 31, 2018.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2019, we sold two properties for a gross sales price of $4.5 million.  The resulting gain was less than $0.1 million. For the three months ended March 31, 2018, we sold one hotel for gross proceeds of $4 million resulting in a gain on sale of $0.5 million. The GAAP reported gains on sale for both periods, which are included in net loss attributable to CorePoint Lodging stockholders, has been excluded in the calculations of EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre.

 

Pro forma adjustments include adjustments for incremental fees based on the terms of the post spin-off management and franchise agreements, adjustments to reflect the post spin-off corporate general and administrative costs, and adjustments to reflect the effects of hotels disposed of during the periods presented.

CERTAIN DEFINED TERMS

Average daily rate (“ADR”) represents hotel room revenues divided by total number of rooms sold in a given period. ADR measures the average room price attained by a hotel or group of hotels, and ADR trends provide useful information concerning pricing policies and the nature of the guest base of a hotel or group of hotels. Changes in room rates have an impact on overall revenues and profitability.

“Occupancy” represents the total number of rooms sold in a given period divided by the total number of rooms available at a hotel or group of hotels. Occupancy measures the utilization of our hotels’ available capacity. Management uses occupancy to gauge demand at a specific hotel or group of hotels in a given period. Occupancy levels also help us determine achievable ADR levels as demand for hotel rooms increases or decreases.

Revenue per available room (“RevPAR”) is defined as the product of the ADR charged and the average daily occupancy achieved. RevPAR does not include other ancillary, non-room revenues, such as food and beverage revenues or parking, telephone or other guest service revenues generated by a hotel, which are not significant for CorePoint.

RevPAR changes that are driven predominately by occupancy have different implications for overall revenue levels and incremental hotel operating profit than changes driven predominately by ADR. For example, increases in occupancy at a hotel would lead to increases in room revenues, as well as incremental operating costs (including, but not limited to, housekeeping services, utilities and room amenity costs). RevPAR increases due to higher ADR, however, would generally not result in additional operating costs, with the exception of those charged or incurred as a percentage of revenue, such as credit card fees and commissions. As a result, changes in RevPAR driven by increases or decreases in ADR generally have a greater effect on operating profitability than changes in RevPAR driven by occupancy levels. Due to seasonality in our business, we review RevPAR by comparing current periods to budget and period-over-period.

“RevPAR Index” measures a hotel’s fair market share of its competitive set’s revenue per available room.

“Comparable hotels” are defined as hotels that were active and operating in our portfolio for at least one full calendar year as of the end of the applicable reporting period and were active and operating as of January 1st of the previous year; except for: (i) hotels that sustained substantial property damage or other business interruption; (ii) hotels that become assets held for sale; or (iii) hotels in which comparable results are otherwise not available. Management uses comparable hotels as the basis upon which to evaluate ADR, occupancy and RevPAR between periods for the set of comparable hotels existing at the reporting date versus the results of the same set of hotels in the prior period. Of the 313 hotels in our portfolio as of March 31, 2019, 303 have been classified as comparable hotels for the three months ended March 31, 2019.
