ORLANDO, Fla., Dec. 3, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Xenia Hotels & Resorts, Inc. (NYSE: XHR) ("Xenia" or the "Company") today provided an update on transactions, liquidity, and operations, as follows:  

Transactions

  • In November 2021, the Company entered into an agreement to sell the 191-room Kimpton Hotel Monaco Chicago for $36 million or approximately $188,500 per key. The sale price represents a 16.7x multiple on the hotel's 2019 Hotel EBITDA. This opportunistic pending sale reflects the strong embedded value in the Company's asset base. The $36 million price represents a compelling multiple on both prior and expected near-term earnings. If the sale is completed as currently anticipated, the Company will have successfully exited the Chicago market, which has been challenged over the last decade due to multiple factors, such as outsized expense inflation and new hotel supply growth, and is expected to have a longer cash flow recovery path relative to most other markets in the Company's geographic mix. The Company has received a substantial non-refundable deposit, the transaction is not subject to a financing contingency, and the closing is expected to occur by the end of the first quarter of 2022. The sale is subject to customary closing conditions and there is no assurance if, or when, a closing will occur. The Company expects to impair the book value of the property by approximately $15 million.
     
  • Also in November, the Company sold the 352-room Marriott Charleston Town Center in Charleston, West Virginia for $5 million or approximately $14,200 per key. In addition, the Company retained $5.6 million of furniture, fixtures and equipment replacement reserves. The Company's sale rationale includes: the property's limited cash flow growth prospects, its location in a tertiary market, its position at the bottom of the Company's portfolio in terms of RevPAR and Hotel EBITDA/key, and its need for significant near-term capital expenditures that the Company believes would not have generated favorable returns but would have been needed to grow earnings to historical levels. With this disposition, the Company has improved the overall quality of its portfolio and has exited a legacy non-core market.

Liquidity

  • As of November 30, 2021, the Company had over $1 billion of liquidity, consisting of approximately $500 million of cash and cash equivalents, and full availability on its revolving credit facility.
     
  • A $17 million income tax refund, which had been expected to be received in 2021, is now expected to be received in 2022 due to slower processing times by the Internal Revenue Service.

Operations

  • Operating results for the Company's Same-Property portfolio, which includes all hotels owned as of December 3, 2021, except for Hyatt Regency Portland at the Oregon Convention Center, were as follows:
