NASHVILLE, Tenn., Nov. 06, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ryman Hospitality Properties, Inc. (NYSE: RHP), a lodging real estate investment trust ("REIT") specializing in group-oriented, destination hotel assets in urban and resort markets, today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2018.
Colin Reed, chairman and chief executive officer of Ryman Hospitality Properties, said, “Overall, we are pleased with our third quarter 2018 results, which were slightly better than our expectations going into the quarter. Despite a couple of group cancellations and the impact of Hurricane Florence in this quarter, our hotels delivered the best third quarter on record in terms of Consolidated Revenue due to strong outside-the-room spending, which helped drive over 6.9 percent and 12.1 percent Consolidated Operating Income and Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA growth, respectively, for the third quarter of 2018.
We anticipated a modest decline in our year-over-year future group bookings this quarter given the challenging year-over-year comparison and the strong bookings results we reported in the first half of 2018. Overall, the outlook for our group business continues to look strong, and we are excited to see that momentum continue with the anticipated opening of our joint-venture investment in Gaylord Rockies later this year. We are pleased to have the opportunity to increase our ownership stake in this property from 35.0 percent to approximately 62.3 percent, which we anticipate will close by the end of 2018.”

For the Company’s definitions of Revenue Per Available Room (RevPAR) and Total Revenue Per Available Room (Total RevPAR), see “Calculation of RevPAR and Total RevPAR” below. Property-level results and operating metrics for third quarter 2018 are presented in greater detail below and under “Supplemental Financial Results—Hospitality Segment Adjusted EBITDA Reconciliations,” which includes a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures Hospitality Adjusted EBITDA to Hospitality Operating Income, and property-level Adjusted EBITDA to property-level Operating Income for each of the hotel properties. Highlights for third quarter 2018 for the Hospitality segment and at each property include:
- Hospitality Segment: Total revenue for third quarter 2018 increased 8.6 percent to $249.2 million compared to third quarter 2017. Total RevPAR increased by 4.7 percent for third quarter 2018 primarily due to favorable group mix shift toward premium corporate and association groups which typically have higher outside-the-room spending. The positive mix shift also drove a 2.2 percent increase in ADR for third quarter 2018, which, along with strong food and beverage performance, more than offset a 2.3-point decline in occupancy during third quarter 2018. The negative revenue impact of Hurricane Florence in third quarter 2018 is estimated to be approximately $1.0 million between Gaylord National and Gaylord Palms. The impact was smaller than the two hurricanes that impacted results in third quarter 2017 but was nonetheless a headwind to performance. Hospitality segment operating income increased by 19.4 percent to $43.3 million in third quarter 2018, as compared to third quarter 2017. Operating income margin for the segment increased by 160 basis points to 17.4 percent. Hospitality segment Adjusted EBITDA increased by 12.6 percent as compared to third quarter 2017, and Adjusted EBITDA margin increased by 110 basis points to 31.3 percent.

- Gaylord Opryland: Total revenue for third quarter 2018 increased by 5.7 percent to $80.6 million, compared to third quarter 2017. RevPAR declined 3.4 percent in third quarter 2018 as compared to third quarter 2017, weighed down by a 4.5-point decrease in occupancy, primarily for group business, which overshadowed a 2.6 percent increase in ADR primarily related to corporate groups. The decline in occupancy was primarily driven by two large group cancellations that the hotel was unable to backfill. As a result, attrition and cancellation fee collections for third quarter 2018 increased by approximately $0.6 million, as compared to third quarter 2017. The groups that did travel during the quarter helped drive a 5.7 percent increase in Total RevPAR for third quarter 2018 as compared to third quarter 2017. This increase was driven by strong banquet and catering performance as compared to third quarter 2017. Operating income increased 5.0 percent to $17.8 million in third quarter 2018, compared to third quarter 2017. Adjusted EBITDA increased 3.9 percent to $26.9 million compared to third quarter 2017. Construction of Gaylord Opryland’s new $90 million water experience, SoundWaves, is nearing completion. This project remains on time and on budget with an anticipated opening of the indoor portion of the amenity in fourth quarter 2018. The Company is now selling packages for this premium-ticketed amenity for the upcoming holiday season.

- Gaylord Palms: Total revenue increased 4.5 percent to $38.9 million in third quarter 2018 compared to third quarter 2017, driven by a 5.0 percent increase in ADR, higher attrition and cancellation fee collections and the non-recurrence of a significant hurricane impact in third quarter 2017. Hurricane Florence negatively impacted the hotel by approximately $0.2 million in third quarter 2018, which was minor compared to the negative impact of the hurricanes experienced in third quarter 2017. The ADR improvement in the quarter was driven by strong group performance. RevPAR and Total RevPAR increased 4.3 percent and 4.5 percent, respectively, compared to third quarter 2017. Operating income declined by 5.9 percent to $2.9 million in third quarter 2018 compared to third quarter 2017, driven primarily by an increase in other support costs, which was partially offset by solid food and beverage performance and increased resort fees. Adjusted EBITDA declined by 1.1 percent to $9.0 million compared to third quarter 2017. The previously announced $150 million expansion project at this property is now underway, starting with the construction of a new multi-story parking structure. The 303 new guest rooms and 90,000-square-foot meeting space expansion are expected to be completed in the spring of 2021.

- Gaylord Texan: Total revenue increased 25.2 percent to $62.8 million in third quarter 2018, compared to third quarter 2017, driven by a 20.1 percent increase in room nights available as a result of the recently-completed rooms expansion at this property. The third quarter 2018 was the first full quarter of available room nights following the completion of this expansion in second quarter 2018. Occupancy increased 3.2 points compared to second quarter 2018 and 1.2 points compared to third quarter 2017 despite the significant increase in available room nights in the quarter. Corporate and other group and transient room nights all increased double digit percentages year-over-year in the quarter. RevPAR increased by 1.9 percent in the third quarter as compared to third quarter 2017, driven by the strong occupancy performance and a positive mix shift toward corporate and other premium group rooms nights sold in third quarter 2018, which positively impacted ADR in the quarter. The absence of hurricane impacts, which negatively impacted third quarter 2017 results, also benefitted year-over-year comparisons. Food and beverage performance in the quarter was particularly strong, driven by a mix shift toward corporate and other group nights that exhibited strong outside-the-room spending. Operating income increased 63.6 percent to $17.0 million in third quarter 2018, compared to third quarter 2017. Adjusted EBITDA increased by 51.5 percent to $23.6 million, compared to third quarter 2017. The strong improvements in operating income and Adjusted EBITDA were driven by a combination of increased room nights sold following the recently completed hotel expansion and strong food and beverage performance during third quarter 2018.

- Gaylord National: Total revenue increased 2.3 percent to $60.3 million in third quarter 2018, compared to third quarter 2017. Hurricane Florence contributed to a year-over-year occupancy decline of 2.3 points during third quarter 2018, with a negative overall revenue impact of approximately $0.8 million. A recent shift in strategy away from lower-rated transient room nights resulted in a positive mix shift toward group nights which enabled the property to hold ADR relatively flat in third quarter 2018 while simultaneously driving strong banquet spending. As a result, Total RevPAR increased by 2.3 percent in third quarter 2018 compared to third quarter 2017, despite a 2.7 percent year-over-year decline in RevPAR. Operating income increased by 0.8 percent to $4.3 million in third quarter 2018 compared to the prior-year quarter. Adjusted EBITDA was flat in third quarter 2018 compared to third quarter 2017, despite lower interest income in the current year quarter associated with our incentive bonds that we received for construction of the property.
Reed continued, “While we are very pleased with our overall Hospitality performance this quarter, Gaylord Texan’s performance was particularly notable as it achieved a positive year-over-year increase in occupancy despite a 20 percent increase in available room nights following its recently-completed hotel expansion. As we head toward the upcoming holiday season, we are excited about the scheduled opening of our SoundWaves water experience at Gaylord Opryland. We have been actively booking this premium amenity as part of our holiday season package offerings and are excited to welcome guests to this unique attraction in December.”

Entertainment segment revenue increased 22.4 percent in third quarter 2018 compared to third quarter 2017, aided by the successful opening of Ole Red Nashville earlier in 2018. Operating income and Adjusted EBITDA declined in third quarter 2018 as compared to the prior-year quarter, primarily as a result of losses associated with Opry City Stage operations. As previously disclosed, the Company suspended operations at Opry City Stage beginning in September 2018 while management evaluates its market positioning for this venue. Further evaluation of this decision resulted in a $4.5 million non-cash impairment charge recognized in third quarter 2018. The Company has also previously announced its intention to develop Ole Red Orlando, which is expected to open in 2020 and will join the Company’s two operating Ole Red locations in Nashville, Tennessee and Tishomingo, Oklahoma, as well as Ole Red Gatlinburg, which is currently under development and anticipated to open in March of 2019.
Reed continued, “Our Entertainment segment delivered strong top-line performance this quarter as our historical assets continue to enjoy popularity and visibility both inside Nashville and around the world, and our flagship Ole Red venue in Nashville continues to perform well. Our investment in this brand continues, and we are optimistic about the opportunities for Ole Red to expand to new markets in the years ahead.
In October of 2018, we celebrated the opening of phase one of our Grand Ole Opry House expansion just in time for the Opry’s 93rd birthday, and we look forward to beginning work on our new VIP lounge and pre-tour theater experience in the fourth quarter.”

As of September 30, 2018, $270.0 million of borrowings were drawn under the revolving credit line of the Company’s credit facility, and the lending banks had issued $2.4 million in letters of credit, which left $427.6 million of availability for borrowing under the credit facility.
Guidance
The Company is reaffirming its 2018 guidance provided on September 14, 2018 at the Company’s Investor and Analyst Day, which is available at www.rymanhp.com. The Company does not expect to update the guidance before next quarter’s earnings release. However, the Company may update its full business outlook or any portion thereof at any time for any reason.
Reed concluded, “2018 is shaping up to be another strong year for our Company, and we anticipate that 2019 will be even stronger with the benefit of our previously-announced development projects, including the opening of SoundWaves at Gaylord Opryland and the Gaylord Rockies hotel. With this in mind, we have decided to accelerate a planned rooms renovation of the Magnolia wing of Gaylord Opryland, which is adjacent to our SoundWaves water experience. We expect to begin the Magnolia rooms renovation late this year and anticipate it to be complete in the fourth quarter 2019. Our previously-announced Gaylord National rooms renovation is now scheduled to begin in the fourth quarter 2019. In addition, with a mid-December scheduled opening coupled with our increased ownership to approximately 62 percent, we believe the Gaylord Rockies will contribute a roughly $2.5 million negative impact to Consolidated Hospitality Adjusted EBITDA in fourth quarter 2018. We do not anticipate that either of these adjustments will have an impact on our previously-provided guidance for 2018, particularly given how well our hotels have performed thus far as well as how we expect them to perform for the remainder of the year.”

Additional Information
This release should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our most recent annual report on Form 10-K. Copies of our reports are available on our website at no expense at www.rymanhp.com and through the SEC’s Electronic Data Gathering Analysis and Retrieval System (“EDGAR”) at www.sec.gov.
Calculation of RevPAR and Total RevPAR
We calculate revenue per available room (“RevPAR”) for our hotels by dividing room revenue by room nights available to guests for the period. We calculate total revenue per available room (“Total RevPAR”) for our hotels by dividing the sum of room revenue, food & beverage and other ancillary services revenue by room nights available to guests for the period.
Calculation of GAAP Margin Figures
We calculate Net Income Margin by dividing GAAP consolidated Net Income by GAAP consolidated Total Revenue. We calculate consolidated, segment, or property-level Operating Income Margin by dividing consolidated, segment, or property-level GAAP Operating Income by consolidated, segment, or property-level GAAP Revenue.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We present the following non-GAAP financial measures we believe are useful to investors as key measures of our operating performance:
Adjusted EBITDA Definition
To calculate Adjusted EBITDA, we first determine Operating Income, which represents Net Income (loss) determined in accordance with GAAP, plus, to the extent the following adjustments occurred during the periods presented: loss (income) from discontinued operations, net; provision (benefit) for income taxes; other (gains) and losses, net; loss on extinguishment of debt; (gain) loss from joint ventures; and interest expense, net. Adjusted EBITDA is then calculated as Operating Income, plus, to the extent the following adjustments occurred during the periods presented: depreciation and amortization; preopening costs; non-cash ground lease expense; equity-based compensation expense; impairment charges; any closing costs of completed acquisitions; interest income on Gaylord National bonds; other gains and (losses), net; (gains) losses on warrant settlements; pension settlement charges; pro rata Adjusted EBITDA from joint ventures, (gains) losses on the disposal of assets, and any other adjustments we have identified in this release. We believe Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors in evaluating our operating performance because this measure helps investors evaluate and compare the results of our operations from period to period by removing the impact of our capital structure (primarily interest expense) and our asset base (primarily depreciation and amortization) from our operating results. A reconciliation of Net Income (loss) to Operating Income and Adjusted EBITDA and a reconciliation of segment, and property-level Operating Income to segment and property-level Adjusted EBITDA are set forth below under “Supplemental Financial Results.”
Adjusted EBITDA Margin Definition
We calculate consolidated Adjusted EBITDA Margin by dividing consolidated Adjusted EBITDA by GAAP consolidated Total Revenue. We calculate segment or property-level Adjusted EBITDA Margin by dividing segment, or property-level Adjusted EBITDA by segment, or property-level GAAP Revenue. We believe Adjusted EBITDA Margin is useful to investors in evaluating our operating performance because this non-GAAP financial measure helps investors evaluate and compare the results of our operations from period to period by presenting a ratio showing the quantitative relationship between Adjusted EBITDA and GAAP consolidated Total Revenue or segment or property-level GAAP Revenue, as applicable.
Adjusted FFO Definition
We calculate Adjusted FFO to mean Net Income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding, to the extent the following adjustments occurred during the periods presented: non-controlling interests, and (gains) and losses from sales of property; depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs and debt discounts) and certain pro rata adjustments from joint ventures (which equals FFO). We then exclude, to the extent the following adjustments occurred during the periods presented, impairment charges; write-offs of deferred financing costs, non-cash ground lease expense, amortization of debt discounts and amortization of deferred financing cost, pension settlement charges, additional pro rata adjustments from joint ventures, (gains) losses on other assets, (gains) losses on extinguishment of debt and warrant settlements, and the impact of deferred income tax expense (benefit). We believe that the presentation of Adjusted FFO provides useful information to investors regarding the performance of our ongoing operations because it is a measure of our operations without regard to specified non-cash items such as real estate depreciation and amortization, gain or loss on sale of assets and certain other items which we believe are not indicative of the performance of our underlying hotel properties. We believe that these items are more representative of our asset base than our ongoing operations. We also use Adjusted FFO as one measure in determining our results after taking into account the impact of our capital structure. A reconciliation of Net Income (loss) to Adjusted FFO is set forth below under “Supplemental Financial Results.”
We caution investors that amounts presented in accordance with our definitions of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, and Adjusted FFO may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by other companies, because not all companies calculate these non-GAAP measures in the same manner. Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, and Adjusted FFO, and any related per share measures, should not be considered as alternative measures of our Net Income (loss), operating performance, cash flow or liquidity. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted FFO may include funds that may not be available for our discretionary use due to functional requirements to conserve funds for capital expenditures and property acquisitions and other commitments and uncertainties. Although we believe that Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, and Adjusted FFO can enhance an investor’s understanding of our results of operations, these non-GAAP financial measures, when viewed individually, are not necessarily better indicators of any trend as compared to GAAP measures such as Net Income (loss), Net Income Margin, Operating Income (loss), Operating Income Margin, or cash flow from operations. In addition, you should be aware that adverse economic and market and other conditions may harm our cash flow.
