Operating Results

“Our third quarter results performed well and were bolstered further by the additional demand created by the devastating hurricanes, Harvey and Irma. Four hotels in Houston and our hotels in Fort Lauderdale and Orlando, Fla., had strong improvements,” said Jeffrey H. Fisher, Chatham’s president and chief executive officer. “Even though we had to evacuate our Residence Inn Fort Lauderdale and our SpringHill Suites Savannah for a few days, these hotels held up very well due to their high-quality construction, as well as the extraordinary efforts of our staff on the ground. Thankfully, our hotels suffered little damage.”

Third quarter RevPAR performance for certain key markets:

  • Silicon Valley RevPAR rose 0.5 percent to $202 driven primarily by an increase in occupancy.
  • RevPAR at Chatham’s three San Diego hotels advanced 2.6 percent.
  • Four Houston hotels experienced a RevPAR gain of 13.0 percent due to increased demand related to Hurricane Harvey.
  • Two Los Angeles area hotels experienced a RevPAR decline of 2.1 percent.
  • RevPAR at the company’s three Boston hotels decreased 0.9 percent.
  • Our two Denver hotels saw RevPAR grow 0.6 percent.

“We outperformed our EBITDA and FFO expectations as same-store hotel EBITDA margins beat the upper-end of our guidance range by 20 basis points and, although down year-over-year, remain the highest in the industry at a very strong 42.7 percent. We are dedicating resources to ensure we remain hyper-focused on expense controls which helps us minimize margin declines while RevPAR growth is close to zero and operating expenses, primarily labor related, are rising.

“We expect our Houston area hotels to generate strong RevPAR growth for the remainder of 2017, and, combined with better than expected margin performance, we are confident in raising our outlook for the remainder of the year,” Fisher concluded.

Strategic Recycling Program and Hotel Investments

Chatham previously indicated that it had entered into separate agreements to sell two of its hotels for gross proceeds of approximately $80 million. The sales agreements called for both hotels’ mortgages to be assumed by the buyers. The $47 million sale of one hotel was terminated recently as the servicer did not approve the loan assumption. The remaining $33 million sale of a hotel is still active and pending. Closing of the sale is subject to many conditions.

Chatham is actively pursuing acquisitions and intends to use the proceeds from any asset sales to acquire hotels. In September, the company acquired the 131-room Hilton Garden Inn Portsmouth Downtown in N.H., for $43.5 million, or approximately $332,000 per room. This property is located in the absolute center of downtown Portsmouth, a beautiful, historic, waterfront community. The hotel enjoys the best location within downtown Portsmouth and benefits from strong, diversified demand, including leisure and corporate, as well as government business related to a thriving naval yard. Opened in June 2006, the Hilton Garden Inn Portsmouth Downtown was fully renovated within the past two years and will require no major capital investment until 2022. The hotel was constructed with a timeless design that adheres to strict local requirements and aligns well with the city’s historic charm.

“As Jeff stated earlier this year, we continue to seek ways to deliver incremental value through opportunistic capital recycling and the reinvestment of those proceeds into hotels in higher growth markets with higher cash-on-cash returns and limited CAPEX requirements,” highlighted Dennis Craven, Chatham’s chief operating officer. “Although one of the sales fell through, we continue to pursue further asset sales, as well as other acquisitions and ground-up developments, including the Silicon Valley redevelopments. We expect these transactions will be accretive to our net asset value and FFO per share.”

During the third quarter, the company completed the renovation of the Homewood Suites Maitland, Fla. and commenced the extensive renovations of the Homewood Suites hotels in Bloomington, Minn. and Brentwood, Tenn. The company expects to complete those renovations during the fourth quarter. The company invested approximately $21.4 million in hotel upgrades year-to-date.

Capital Markets & Capital Structure

As of September 30, 2017, the company had net debt of $593.2 million (total consolidated debt less unrestricted cash). Total debt outstanding was $604.5 million at an average interest rate of 4.6 percent, comprised of $529.5 million of fixed-rate mortgage debt at an average interest rate of 4.6 percent and $75.0 million outstanding on the company’s $250 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility, which currently carries a 4.0 percent interest rate.

Chatham’s leverage ratio was approximately 39.5 percent at September 30, 2017, based on the ratio of the company’s net debt to hotel investments at cost. The weighted average maturity date for Chatham’s fixed-rate debt is February 2024 with the earliest maturity in 2021. As of September 30, 2017, Chatham’s proportionate share of joint venture debt and unrestricted cash was $165.4 million and $3.1 million, respectively.

On September 30, 2017, as defined in the company’s credit agreement, Chatham’s fixed charge coverage ratio, including its interest in the two joint ventures with Colony NorthStar, was 3.3 times, and total net debt to trailing 12-month corporate EBITDA was 6.0 times. Excluding its interest in the two joint ventures, Chatham’s fixed charge coverage ratio was 3.5 times, and net debt to trailing 12-month corporate EBITDA was 5.4 times.

During the third quarter, Chatham sold 0.6 million shares under its at-the-market (“ATM”) and direct stock purchase (“DSPP”) programs at a weighted average price of $20.92 per share.

Joint Venture Investments

During the quarter, the Innkeepers and Inland joint ventures contributed Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted FFO of approximately $4.9 million and $2.9 million, respectively. Adjusted EBITDA was within the company’s guidance range and adjusted FFO from the joint ventures finished $0.1 million above guidance for the quarter. Year-over-year, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted FFO contributed by the joint ventures was down $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively.

Chatham received distributions from its joint venture investments of $1.3 million during the 2017 third quarter.

Dividend

Chatham currently pays a monthly dividend of $0.11 per common share.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Included in this press release are certain “non-GAAP financial measures,” within the meaning of Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) rules and regulations, that are different from measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles). The company considers the following non-GAAP financial measures useful to investors as key supplemental measures of its operating performance: (1) FFO, (2) Adjusted FFO, (3) EBITDA, (4) Adjusted EBITDA and (5) Adjusted Hotel EBITDA. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered along with, but not as alternatives to, net income or loss as prescribed by GAAP as a measure of its operating performance.

FFO As Defined by NAREIT and Adjusted FFO

The company calculates FFO in accordance with standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT), which defines FFO as net income or loss (calculated in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains or losses from sales of real estate, impairment write-downs, the cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles, plus depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs), and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures following the same approach. The company believes that the presentation of FFO provides useful information to investors regarding its operating performance because it measures its performance without regard to specified non-cash items such as real estate depreciation and amortization, gain or loss on sale of real estate assets and certain other items that the company believes are not indicative of the property level performance of its hotel properties. The company believes that these items reflect historical cost of its asset base and its acquisition and disposition activities and are less reflective of its ongoing operations, and that by adjusting to exclude the effects of these items, FFO is useful to investors in comparing its operating performance between periods and between REITs that also report using the NAREIT definition.

The company calculates Adjusted FFO by further adjusting FFO for certain additional items that are not addressed in NAREIT’s definition of FFO, including hotel property acquisition costs and other charges, losses on the early extinguishment of debt and similar items related to its unconsolidated real estate entities that it believes do not represent costs related to hotel operations. The company believes that Adjusted FFO provides investors with another financial measure that may facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods and between REITs that make similar adjustments to FFO.

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA

The company calculates EBITDA for purposes of the credit facility debt as net income or loss excluding: (1) interest expense; (2) provision for income taxes, including income taxes applicable to sale of assets; (3) depreciation and amortization; and (4) unconsolidated real estate entity items including interest, depreciation and amortization excluding gains and losses from sales of real estate. The company believes EBITDA is useful to investors in evaluating its operating performance because it helps investors compare the company’s 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, the company uses EBITDA as one measure in determining the value of hotel acquisitions and dispositions.

The company calculates Adjusted EBITDA by further adjusting EBITDA for certain additional items, including hotel property acquisition costs and other charges, gains or losses on the sale of real estate, losses on the early extinguishment of debt, amortization of non-cash share-based compensation and similar items related to its unconsolidated real estate entities, which it believes are not indicative of the performance of its underlying hotel properties entities. The company believes that Adjusted EBITDA provides investors with another financial measure that may facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods and between REITs that report similar measures.

Adjusted Hotel EBITDA is defined as net income before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, corporate general and administrative, hotel property acquisition costs, impairment loss, loss on early extinguishment of debt, interest and other income and income or loss from unconsolidated real estate entities. The Company presents Adjusted Hotel EBITDA because the Company believes it is useful to investors in comparing its hotel operating performance between periods and comparing its Adjusted Hotel EBITDA margins to those of our peer companies. Adjusted Hotel EBITDA represents the results of operations for its wholly owned hotels only.

Although the company presents FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA because it believes they are useful to investors in comparing the company’s operating performance between periods and between REITs that report similar measures, these measures have limitations as analytical tools. Some of these limitations are:

  • FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA do not reflect the company’s cash expenditures, or future requirements, for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;
  • FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, the company’s working capital needs;
  • FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA do not reflect funds available to make cash distributions;
  • EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA do not reflect the significant interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on the company’s debts;
  • Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized may need to be replaced in the future, and FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA do not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements;
  • Non-cash compensation is and will remain a key element of the company’s overall long-term incentive compensation package, although the company excludes it as an expense when evaluating its ongoing operating performance for a particular period using adjusted EBITDA;
  • Adjusted FFO, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA do not reflect the impact of certain cash charges (including acquisition transaction costs) that result from matters the company considers not to be indicative of the underlying performance of its hotel properties; and
  • Other companies in the company’s industry may calculate FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA differently than the company does, limiting their usefulness as a comparative measure.

In addition, FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA do not represent cash generated from operating activities as determined by GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to net income or loss, cash flows from operations or any other operating performance measure prescribed by GAAP. FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA are not measures of the Company’s liquidity. Because of these limitations, FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. The Company compensates for these limitations by relying primarily on its GAAP results and using FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA only supplementally. The Company’s consolidated financial statements and the notes to those statements included elsewhere are prepared in accordance with GAAP.

The company’s reconciliation of FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA to net income attributable to common shareholders, as determined under GAAP, is set forth below.
