James F. Risoleo, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “During the third quarter, we continued to see strong positive operating trends and significant sequential improvements across our portfolio. RevPAR was $129 for the quarter, representing a 26% increase over the prior quarter. While much of the recovery has been concentrated in Sunbelt markets, our urban markets also saw significant RevPAR improvements during the third quarter."

Risoleo continued, “In September, we completed another off-market acquisition, buying the Alila Ventana Big Sur in California, bringing our total acquisitions for 2021 to $1.2 billion. Subsequent to quarter end, we disposed of five hotels, totaling 2,323 keys, for $551 million. Additionally, our positive hotel operating results led to improved credit metrics and we exited the credit facility covenant waiver period three quarters ahead of its expiration. We continue to believe we are in the early stages of a prolonged lodging recovery, and remain focused on improving the quality and EBITDA growth profile of our portfolio."

Highlights:

Results for Third Quarter 2021

• GAAP net loss worsened by $59 million to $120 million in the third quarter compared to the second quarter of 2021, due to impairment expense of $92 million recorded in the third quarter, which offset improved operations. Excluding the impairment expense, the sequential improvement in net loss was $33 million, or 54.1%.
• Achieved Adjusted EBITDAre of $177 million, which, after interest expense of $43 million, exceeded the Company's capital expenditures, totaling $113 million for the quarter, by $21 million. The results benefited from continued positive quarterly sequential improvements in RevPAR and operations.
• Produced All Owned Hotel Pro Forma EBITDA of $196 million, which included positive hotel-level operating profit at 65 of the Company’s hotels, an increase from 53 hotels achieved in the second quarter of 2021.
• Acquired the Baker's Cay Resort Key Largo, Curio Collection by Hilton and a 223-room luxury downtown Houston hotel, as previously announced, as well as the Alila Ventana Big Sur for a total investment of $415 million.
• Completed a multi-year renovation at the New York Marriott Marquis, including a complete upgrade of all 1,966 guestrooms, renovation of over 140,000 square feet of meeting space, the expansion of a skybridge lined with two high-definition LED screens, and a reimagined lobby with new bars and upgraded restaurants. Additionally, after quarter end completed a multi-year renovation at the Orlando World Center Marriott, including the transformation of all 2,010 guestrooms, a redesigned 18th hole at the golf course and an updated lobby. The projects at both properties were part of the Marriott transformational capital program, bringing the total number of completed projects in this program to 10 of 16 properties.
• Ended the quarter with total available liquidity of approximately $1.2 billion, including FF&E escrow reserves of $138 million. Including the transactions completed subsequent to quarter end, which are noted below, the Company’s total available liquidity was approximately $1.7 billion, including the FF&E escrow reserves.

Subsequent Events

• Sold five assets for a total sales price of $551 million, including approximately $11 million for the FF&E replacement funds.
• Preliminary forecast October RevPAR is expected to be approximately $143, the highest monthly result since the onset of the pandemic.

Balance Sheet

Subsequent to quarter end, the Company terminated its credit facility's covenant waiver period, as it met the required minimum fixed charge coverage ratio for its first phase-in quarter test. The Company will be required to meet the modified phase-in financial covenant thresholds for the following five quarters and, after that time, will be subject to the original covenant levels in the credit facility prior to amendment. Upon termination of the waiver period, the 40 basis point additional interest rate applicable to borrowings under the credit facility was removed, in addition to lifting additional restrictions on repayments, investments and distributions.

Sourav Ghosh, Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer, stated, “The third quarter represents a turning point in our recovery as continued sequential operating improvements led to positive cash flow. As a result, we have met the minimum covenant levels required under our senior notes, lifting the restriction on incurring debt. In addition, we have exited our credit facility waiver period, which provides immediate savings through a decrease in our interest rate and reflects the continued strength of our balance sheet. Despite the challenging environment during the quarter, we improved our flexibility for financing transactions and enhanced the quality of our portfolio through hotel acquisitions, dispositions, and reinvestment in our assets."

The Company maintains a robust balance sheet, with the following balances at September 30, 2021:

• Total assets of $12.7 billion.
• Debt balance of $5.5 billion, with an average maturity of 4.2 years, an average interest rate of 3.0%, and no maturities until October 2023.
• As of September 30, 2021, the Company has met the minimum financial covenant levels under its senior notes indentures, which reinstates the Company's ability to incur additional debt, so long as it maintains these covenant levels and subject to the provisions of its senior notes indentures and credit facility.

The AC Hotel Scottsdale North is a new development hotel that opened in January 2021. Therefore, there were no operations for the hotel prior to January 2021 and no adjustments were made for pro forma results of the hotel for periods prior to its opening. Operations remained suspended at the Sheraton Boston Hotel for part of the quarter and the hotel re-opened on August 1, 2021. Results for the five hotels sold subsequent to quarter end are included, as they were owned for the entirety of the periods presented.

Third Quarter 2021 Revenue Performance

• All Owned Hotel Pro Forma RevPAR improved 26% compared to the second quarter of 2021, with average room rates nearly reaching third quarter 2019 rates. The sequential improvement was primarily due to strong leisure demand for resorts and hotels located in the Company’s Sunbelt markets and Hawaii.
• Food and beverage pro forma revenues improved approximately $48 million, or 34%, compared to the second quarter of 2021, as Banquet and Catering revenues doubled over the prior quarter to $84 million, representing an acceleration in Banquet and Catering recovery. Food and beverage revenues throughout the pandemic had mostly been driven by restaurants and other outlet revenue.

Third Quarter 2021 Hotel Operating Expense Performance

• Portfolio-wide pro forma hotel operating costs were approximately 30% lower compared to the third quarter of 2019, with a 32% decrease in total revenues compared to third quarter of 2019, and costs were only 21% higher compared to the second quarter of 2021, despite an approximately 25% increase in total revenues quarter over quarter.
  • Ramp up of staffing at several properties continues to lag the pace of demand due to the challenging labor environment across the industry. The Company expects hotel operating costs to increase more in line with total revenues over time as hotels continue to transition from their contingency level operational plans to increased staffing levels and controllable spending.
  • Re-introduction of marketing, maintenance and other support costs is expected to increase other departmental and support expenses as the recovery continues to gain momentum.
    

Hotel Business Mix Update

The Company’s customers fall into three broad groups: transient, group and contract business, which accounted for approximately 61%, 35%, and 4%, respectively, of its 2019 room sales.

During the third quarter, demand continued to be primarily driven by leisure at drive-to and resort destinations. The following are the sequential results of the Company’s consolidated portfolio, including all owned hotels at September 30, 2021 on a pro forma basis, for transient, group and contract business in comparison to 2019 performance:

	Quarter ended September 30, 2021												Quarter ended June 30, 2021
	Transient				Group				Contract				Transient				Group				Contract
Room nights (in thousands)		1,678				594				157				1,416				346				109
Percentage change in room nights vs. same period in 2019		(23.3	)%			(47.8	)%			(9.9	)%			(29.6	)%			(74.4	)%			(34.3	)%
Room Revenues (in millions)	$	424			$	114			$	26			$	367			$	60			$	18
Percentage change in revenues vs. same period in 2019		(19.6	)%			(54.0	)%			(40.5	)%			(30.6	)%			(81.7	)%			(59.0	)%

Capital Allocation Strategy

The Company continued to execute on its capital allocation strategy by recycling capital into assets that the Company believes will improve the quality and EBITDA growth profile of its portfolio. During the quarter, the Company acquired the 200-room Baker's Cay Resort Key Largo, Curio Collection by Hilton, for $200 million, a 223-room luxury downtown Houston hotel for $65 million and the 59-room Alila Ventana Big Sur for $150 million. The downtown Houston hotel has been rebranded as The Laura Hotel, as part of the Autograph Collection by Marriott. It will be managed by HEI Hotels & Resorts and is expected to open in the fourth quarter of 2021. Year-to-date, the Company has acquired five hotels and land for a total purchase price of $1.2 billion.

Subsequent to quarter end, the Company sold the Westfields Marriott Washington Dulles, San Ramon Marriott, The Westin Buckhead Atlanta, The Westin Los Angeles Airport and The Whitley for $551 million, including approximately $11 million for the FF&E replacement funds, and expects to record a gain on sale of $300 million in the fourth quarter.

Capital Expenditures

The following presents the Company’s year-to-date 2021 capital expenditures spend and the forecast for full year 2021 (in millions):

	Year-to-date ended September 30, 2021				2021 Full Year Forecast
	Actuals				Low-end of range				High-end of range
ROI - Marriott transformational capital program	$	82			$	115			$	140
ROI - All other ROI projects		119				170				180
Total ROI project spend		201				285				320
Renewals and Replacements		92				125				145
Total Capital Expenditures	$	293			$	410			$	465

The Company is utilizing the lower occupancy environment to accelerate certain projects and minimize future disruption and believes the renovations will position these hotels to capture additional revenue during the economic recovery. The Company is on track to complete 85% of the Marriott transformational capital program by the end of 2021. The Company expects to receive approximately $14 million in operating profit guarantees in 2021 under the Marriott transformational capital program. As of September 30, 2021, the Company has received $12 million in operating profit guarantees for the year, with $2 million received in the third quarter.

2021 Outlook

Given the global economic uncertainty COVID-19 has created for the travel, airline, lodging and tourism and event industries, the Company cannot provide guidance for its operations or fully estimate the effect of COVID-19 or its variants and the current U.S. vaccination deployment on its operations.

The Company believes that recovery within the lodging industry will be driven by the strength of the economy, increased consumer confidence that the risks associated with travelling and contracting COVID-19 have been significantly reduced, and the return of business and group customers.

While the Company is not providing guidance on operations at this time, it estimates that for full year 2021, interest expense and corporate and other expenses will be in the following ranges (in millions):

	Full Year 2021
	Low-end of range				High-end of range
Interest expense	$	169			$	171
Corporate and other expenses		98				100

The Company does not intend to provide further guidance updates unless deemed appropriate.

___________

(1)	To facilitate a quarter-to-quarter comparison of our operations, we typically present certain operating statistics and operating results for the periods included in this presentation on a comparable hotel basis. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic and its effects on operations there is little comparability between periods. For this reason, we temporarily are suspending our comparable hotel presentation and instead present hotel operating results for all consolidated hotels and, to facilitate comparisons between periods, we are presenting results on a pro forma basis including the following adjustments: (1) operating results are presented for all consolidated properties owned as of September 30, 2021 but do not include the results of operations for properties sold through the reporting date; and (2) operating results for acquisitions as of September 30, 2021 are reflected for full calendar years, to include results for periods prior to our ownership. For these hotels, since the year-over-year comparison includes periods prior to our ownership, the changes will not necessarily correspond to changes in our actual results. See the Notes to Financial Information – All Owned Hotel Pro Forma Operating Statistics and Results for further information on these pro forma statistics and – Constant US$ and Nominal US$ for a discussion on constant US$ presentation. Nominal US$ results include the effect of currency fluctuations, consistent with our financial statement presentation. The AC Hotel Scottsdale North is a new development hotel that opened in January 2021. Therefore, there were no operations for the hotel prior to January 2021 and no adjustments were made for pro forma results of the hotel for periods prior to its opening. In addition, hotel results exclude the Laura Hotel, a luxury downtown Houston hotel, acquired in July 2021, as it was closed for the entirety of the quarter. Results for the five hotels sold subsequent to quarter end are included, as they were owned for the entirety of the periods presented. CBD of a location refers to the central business district.
(2)	Hotel RevPAR is calculated as room revenues divided by the available room nights. Hotel Total RevPAR is calculated by dividing the sum of rooms, food and beverage and other revenues by the available room nights.

(1)	See the Notes to Financial Information for a discussion of non-GAAP measures and the calculation of all owned hotel pro forma results, including the limitations on their use.
(2)	Profit margins are calculated by dividing the applicable operating profit by the related revenue amount. GAAP profit margins are calculated using amounts presented in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. Hotel margins are calculated using amounts presented in the above tables.
(3)	Pro forma adjustments represent the following items: (i) the elimination of results of operations of our sold hotels, which operations are included in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations as continuing operations and (ii) the addition of results for periods prior to our ownership for hotels acquired as of September 30, 2021. All Owned Hotel Pro Forma results also includes the results of our leased office buildings and other non-hotel revenue and expense items.
(4)	All Owned Hotel Pro Forma EBITDA excludes the Laura Hotel, a luxury downtown Houston hotel, acquired in July 2021, as it was closed for the entirety of the quarter. Additionally, the AC Hotel Scottsdale North is a new development hotel that opened in January 2021. Therefore, there were no operations for the hotel prior to January 2021 and no adjustments made for pro forma results of the hotel for periods prior to its opening. Results for the five hotels sold subsequent to quarter end are included, as they were owned for the entirety of the periods presented.

Notes to financial Information

All Owned Hotel Pro Forma Operating Statistics and Results

To facilitate a quarter-to-quarter comparison of our operations, we typically present certain operating statistics (i.e., Total RevPAR, RevPAR, average daily rate and average occupancy) and operating results (revenues, expenses, hotel EBITDA and associated margins) for the periods included in this presentation on a comparable hotel basis in order to enable our investors to better evaluate our operating performance (discussed in “Hotel Property Level Operating Results” below). However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic and its effects on operations, there is little comparability between periods. For this reason, we temporarily are suspending our comparable hotel presentation and instead present hotel operating results for all consolidated hotels and, to facilitate comparisons between periods, we are presenting results on a pro forma basis, including the following adjustments: (1) operating results are presented for all consolidated hotels owned as of September 30, 2021, but do not include the results of operations for properties sold through the reporting date; and (2) operating results for acquisitions as of September 30, 2021 are reflected for full calendar years, to include results for periods prior to our ownership. For these hotels, since the year-over-year comparison includes periods prior to our ownership, the changes will not necessarily correspond to changes in our actual results.

Constant US$ and Nominal US$

Operating results denominated in foreign currencies are translated using the prevailing exchange rates on the date of the transaction, or monthly based on the weighted average exchange rate for the period. For comparative purposes, we also present the RevPAR results for the prior year assuming the results of our foreign operations were translated using the same exchange rates that were effective for the comparable periods in the current year, thereby eliminating the effect of currency fluctuation for the year-over-year comparisons. We believe this presentation is useful to investors as it provides clarity with respect to the change in RevPAR in the local currency of the hotel consistent with the manner in which we would evaluate our domestic portfolio. However, the estimated effect of changes in foreign currency has been reflected in the results of net income (loss), EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDAre, diluted earnings (loss) per common share and Adjusted FFO per diluted share. Nominal US$ results include the effect of currency fluctuations, consistent with our financial statement presentation.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Included in this press release are certain “non-GAAP financial measures,” which are measures of our historical or future financial performance that are not calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, within the meaning of applicable SEC rules. They are as follows: (i) FFO and FFO per diluted share (both NAREIT and Adjusted), (ii) EBITDA, (iii) EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre, and (iv) All Owned Hotel Pro Forma Operating Statistics and Results. The following discussion defines these measures and presents why we believe they are useful supplemental measures of our performance.

NAREIT FFO and NAREIT FFO per Diluted Share

We present NAREIT FFO and NAREIT FFO per diluted share as non-GAAP measures of our performance in addition to our earnings per share (calculated in accordance with GAAP). We calculate NAREIT FFO per diluted share as our NAREIT FFO (defined as set forth below) for a given operating period, as adjusted for the effect of dilutive securities, divided by the number of fully diluted shares outstanding during such period, in accordance with NAREIT guidelines. Effective January 1, 2019, we adopted NAREIT’s definition of FFO included in NAREIT’s Funds From Operations White Paper – 2018 Restatement. NAREIT defines FFO as net income (calculated in accordance with GAAP) excluding depreciation and amortization related to real estate, gains and losses from the sale of certain real estate assets, gains and losses from change in control, impairment expense of certain real estate assets and investments and adjustments for consolidated partially-owned entities and unconsolidated affiliates. Adjustments for consolidated partially-owned entities and unconsolidated affiliates are calculated to reflect our pro rata share of the FFO of those entities on the same basis.

We believe that NAREIT FFO per diluted share is a useful supplemental measure of our operating performance and that the presentation of NAREIT FFO per diluted share, when combined with the primary GAAP presentation of earnings per share, provides beneficial information to investors. By excluding the effect of real estate depreciation, amortization, impairment expense and gains and losses from sales of depreciable real estate, all of which are based on historical cost accounting and which may be of lesser significance in evaluating current performance, we believe that such measures can facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods and with other REITs, even though NAREIT FFO per diluted share does not represent an amount that accrues directly to holders of our common stock. Historical cost accounting for real estate assets implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. As noted by NAREIT in its Funds From Operations White Paper – 2018 Restatement, the primary purpose for including FFO as a supplemental measure of operating performance of a REIT is to address the artificial nature of historical cost depreciation and amortization of real estate and real estate-related assets mandated by GAAP. For these reasons, NAREIT adopted the FFO metric in order to promote a uniform industry-wide measure of REIT operating performance.

Adjusted FFO per Diluted Share

We also present Adjusted FFO per diluted share when evaluating our performance because management believes 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, in our annual budget process and for our compensation programs. We believe that the presentation of Adjusted FFO per diluted share, when combined with both the primary GAAP presentation of diluted earnings per share and FFO per diluted share as defined by NAREIT, provides useful supplemental information that is beneficial to an investor’s understanding of our operating performance. We adjust NAREIT FFO per diluted share for the following items, which may occur in any period, and refer to this measure as Adjusted FFO per diluted share:

• Gains and Losses on the Extinguishment of Debt – We exclude the effect of finance charges and premiums associated with the extinguishment of debt, including the acceleration of the write-off of deferred financing costs from the original issuance of the debt being redeemed or retired and incremental interest expense incurred during the refinancing period. We also exclude the gains on debt repurchases and the original issuance costs associated with the retirement of preferred stock. We believe that these items are not reflective of our ongoing finance costs.
• Acquisition Costs – Under GAAP, costs associated with completed property acquisitions that are considered business combinations are expensed in the year incurred. We exclude the effect of these costs because we believe they are not reflective of the ongoing performance of the Company.
• Litigation Gains and Losses – We exclude the effect of gains or losses associated with litigation recorded under GAAP that we consider outside the ordinary course of business. We believe that including these items is not consistent with our ongoing operating performance.
• Severance Expense –In certain circumstances, we will add back hotel-level severance expenses when we do not believe that such expenses are reflective of the ongoing operation of our properties. Situations that would result in a severance add-back include, but are not limited to, (i) costs incurred as part of a broad-based reconfiguration of the operating model with the specific hotel operator for a portfolio of hotels and (ii) costs incurred at a specific hotel due to a broad-based and significant reconfiguration of a hotel and/or its workforce. We do not add back corporate-level severance costs or severance costs at an individual hotel that we consider to be incurred in the normal course of business.

In unusual circumstances, we also may adjust NAREIT FFO for gains or losses that management believes are not representative of the Company’s current operating performance. For example, in 2017, as a result of the reduction of the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21% by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, we remeasured our domestic deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2017 and recorded a one-time adjustment to reduce our deferred tax assets and to increase the provision for income taxes by approximately $11 million. We do not consider this adjustment to be reflective of our on-going operating performance and, therefore, we excluded this item from Adjusted FFO.

EBITDA

Earnings before Interest Expense, Income Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”) is a commonly used measure of performance in many industries. Management believes EBITDA provides useful information to investors regarding our results of operations because it helps us and our investors evaluate the ongoing operating performance of our properties after removing the impact of the Company’s capital structure (primarily interest expense) and its asset base (primarily depreciation and amortization). Management also believes the use of EBITDA facilitates comparisons between us and other lodging REITs, hotel owners that are not REITs and other capital-intensive companies. Management uses EBITDA to evaluate property-level results and as one measure in determining the value of acquisitions and dispositions and, like FFO and Adjusted FFO per diluted share, it is widely used by management in the annual budget process and for our compensation programs.

EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre

We present EBITDAre in accordance with NAREIT guidelines, as defined in its September 2017 white paper “Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization for Real Estate,” to provide an additional performance measure to facilitate the evaluation and comparison of the Company’s results with other REITs. NAREIT defines EBITDAre as net income (calculated in accordance with GAAP) excluding interest expense, income tax, depreciation and amortization, gains or losses on disposition of depreciated property (including gains or losses on change of control), impairment expense of depreciated property and of investments in unconsolidated affiliates caused by a decrease in value of depreciated property in the affiliate, and adjustments to reflect the entity’s pro rata share of EBITDAre of unconsolidated affiliates.

We make additional adjustments to EBITDAre 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. We believe that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDAre, when combined with the primary GAAP presentation of net income, is beneficial to an investor’s understanding of our operating performance. Adjusted EBITDAre also is similar to the measure used to calculate certain credit ratios for our credit facility and senior notes. We adjust EBITDAre for the following items, which may occur in any period, and refer to this measure as Adjusted EBITDAre:

• Property Insurance Gains – We exclude the effect of property insurance gains reflected in our consolidated statements of operations because we believe that including them in Adjusted EBITDAre is not consistent with reflecting the ongoing performance of our assets. In addition, property insurance gains could be less important to investors given that the depreciated asset book value written off in connection with the calculation of the property insurance gain often does not reflect the market value of real estate assets.
• Acquisition Costs – Under GAAP, costs associated with completed property acquisitions that are considered business combinations are expensed in the year incurred. We exclude the effect of these costs because we believe they are not reflective of the ongoing performance of the Company.
• Litigation Gains and Losses – We exclude the effect of gains or losses associated with litigation recorded under GAAP that we consider outside the ordinary course of business. We believe that including these items is not consistent with our ongoing operating performance.
• Severance Expense – In certain circumstances, we will add back hotel-level severance expenses when we do not believe that such expenses are reflective of the ongoing operation of our properties. Situations that would result in a severance add-back include, but are not limited to, (i) costs incurred as part of a broad-based reconfiguration of the operating model with the specific hotel operator for a portfolio of hotels and (ii) costs incurred at a specific hotel due to a broad-based and significant reconfiguration of a hotel and/or its workforce. We do not add back corporate-level severance costs or severance costs at an individual hotel that we consider to be incurred in the normal course of business.

In unusual circumstances, we also may adjust EBITDAre for gains or losses that management believes are not representative of the Company’s current operating performance. The last adjustment of this nature was a 2013 exclusion of a gain from an eminent domain claim.

Limitations on the Use of NAREIT FFO per Diluted Share, Adjusted FFO per Diluted Share, EBITDA, EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre

We calculate EBITDAre and NAREIT FFO per diluted share in accordance with standards established by NAREIT, which may not be comparable to measures calculated by other companies that do not use the NAREIT definition of EBITDAre and FFO or do not calculate FFO per diluted share in accordance with NAREIT guidance. In addition, although EBITDAre and FFO per diluted share are useful measures when comparing our results to other REITs, they may not be helpful to investors when comparing us to non-REITs. We also calculate Adjusted FFO per diluted share and Adjusted EBITDAre, which are not in accordance with NAREIT guidance and may not be comparable to measures calculated by other REITs or by other companies. This information should not be considered as an alternative to net income, operating profit, cash from operations or any other operating performance measure calculated in accordance with GAAP. Cash expenditures for various long-term assets (such as renewal and replacement capital expenditures), interest expense (for EBITDA, EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre purposes only), severance expense related to significant property-level reconfiguration and other items have been, and will be, made and are not reflected in the EBITDA, EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDAre, NAREIT FFO per diluted share and Adjusted FFO per diluted share presentations. Management compensates 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 consolidated statements of operations and consolidated statements of cash flows (“Statements of Cash Flows”) in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q 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. Additionally, NAREIT FFO per diluted share, Adjusted FFO per diluted share, EBITDA, EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre should not be considered as a measure of our liquidity or indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to make cash distributions. In addition, NAREIT FFO per diluted share and Adjusted FFO per diluted share do not measure, and should not be used as a measure of, amounts that accrue directly to stockholders’ benefit.

Similarly, EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDAre, NAREIT FFO and Adjusted FFO per diluted share include adjustments for the pro rata share of our equity investments and NAREIT FFO and Adjusted FFO per diluted share include adjustments for the pro rata share of non-controlling partners in consolidated partnerships. Our equity investments consist of interests ranging from 11% to 67% in seven domestic and international partnerships that own a total of 10 properties and a vacation ownership development. Due to the voting rights of the outside owners, we do not control and, therefore, do not consolidate these entities. The non-controlling partners in consolidated partnerships primarily consist of the approximate 1% interest in Host LP held by outside partners, and a 15% interest held by outside partners in a partnership owning one hotel for which we do control the entity and, therefore, consolidate its operations. These pro rata results for NAREIT FFO and Adjusted FFO per diluted share, EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre were calculated as set forth in the definitions above. Readers should be cautioned that the pro rata results presented in these measures for consolidated partnerships (for NAREIT FFO and Adjusted FFO per diluted share) and equity investments may not accurately depict the legal and economic implications of our investments in these entities.

Hotel Property Level Operating Results

We present certain operating results for our hotels, such as hotel revenues, expenses, food and beverage profit, and EBITDA (and the related margins), on a hotel-level pro forma basis as supplemental information for our investors. Our hotel results reflect the operating results of our hotels as discussed in “All Owned Hotel Pro Forma Operating Statistics and Results” above. We present all owned hotel pro forma EBITDA to help us and our investors evaluate the ongoing operating performance of our hotels after removing the impact of the Company’s capital structure (primarily interest expense) and its asset base (primarily depreciation and amortization expense). Corporate-level costs and expenses also are removed to arrive at property-level results. We believe these property-level results provide investors with supplemental information about the ongoing operating performance of our hotels. All owned hotel pro forma results are presented both by location and for the Company’s properties in the aggregate. While severance expense is not uncommon at the individual property level in the normal course of business, we eliminate from our hotel level operating results severance costs related to broad-based and significant property-level reconfiguration that is not considered to be within the normal course of business, as we believe this elimination provides useful supplemental information that is beneficial to an investor’s understanding of our ongoing operating performance. We also eliminate depreciation and amortization expense because, even though depreciation and amortization expense are property-level expenses, these non-cash expenses, which are based on historical cost accounting for real estate assets, implicitly assume that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. As noted earlier, because real estate values historically have risen or fallen with market conditions, many real estate industry investors have considered presentation of historical cost accounting for operating results to be insufficient.

Because of the elimination of corporate-level costs and expenses, gains or losses on disposition, certain severance expenses and depreciation and amortization expense, the hotel operating results we present do not represent our total revenues, expenses, operating profit or net income and should not be used to evaluate our performance as a whole. Management compensates 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 consolidated statements of operations include such amounts, all of which should be considered by investors when evaluating our performance.

While management believes that presentation of all owned hotel results is a supplemental measure that provides useful information in evaluating our ongoing performance, this measure is not used to allocate resources or to assess the operating performance of each of our hotels, as these decisions are based on data for individual hotels and are not based on all owned hotel results in the aggregate. For these reasons, we believe all owned hotel operating results, when combined with the presentation of GAAP operating profit, revenues and expenses, provide useful information to investors and management.
