Host Hotels & Resorts, Inc. (ticker: HST, exchange: New York Stock Exchange (.N)) News Release - 23-Jul-2003

Host Marriott Reports Results of Operations for Second Quarter 2003

BETHESDA, Md., Jul 23, 2003 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- Host Marriott Corporation (NYSE: HMT), the nation's largest lodging real estate investment trust (REIT), today announced results of operations for the second quarter of 2003. The second quarter results reflect a difficult operating environment due to the effects of the war in Iraq, the outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), and the generally weak economy, that has resulted in reduced group and business travel. Second quarter results include the following:

* Total revenue was $874 million and $1,679 million, respectively, for the second quarter and year-to-date 2003 as compared to $917 million and $1,704 million, respectively, for the same periods of 2002.

* Net income (loss) was $(14) million and $(48) million, respectively, for the second quarter and year-to-date 2003 as compared to $24 million and $25 million, respectively, for the second quarter and year-to-date 2002.

* The Company's diluted loss per share was $.09 and $.25, respectively, for the second quarter and year-to-date 2003 as compared to diluted earnings per share of $.06 and $.03, respectively, for the same periods of 2002.

* Funds From Operations (as defined by NAREIT), or FFO per diluted share, was $.22 and $.37, respectively, for the second quarter and year-to-date 2003 as compared to $.35 and $.58 per diluted share, respectively, for the second quarter and year-to-date 2002.

* Adjusted EBITDA, which is Earnings before Interest, Income Taxes, Depreciation, Amortization and other items, was $193 million and $365 million, respectively, for the second quarter and year-to-date 2003 versus $233 million and $428 million, respectively, for the same periods of 2002.

FFO per diluted share and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures within the meaning of the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, rules. Due to the recent guidance on non-GAAP financial measures issued by the SEC, the Company adopted the NAREIT definition of FFO per diluted share and is now reporting Earnings Before Interest, Income Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization, or EBITDA, as well as Adjusted EBITDA. See the discussion below in the "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" section of this press release.

Operating Results

Comparable RevPAR for the second quarter declined 8.2% as a result of a 3.5% reduction in average room rate and an occupancy decline of 3.6 percentage points compared to the same period in 2002. Year-to-date comparable RevPAR declined 7.0% with a decline in room rate of 3.0% and a decrease in occupancy of 3.0 percentage points compared to the same period in 2002.

Christopher J. Nassetta, president and chief executive officer, stated, "Despite the challenging operating environment, our results were generally in line with our expectations. While visibility is limited, we believe that the second half of the year will be modestly weaker than we originally anticipated. We are, however, cautiously optimistic that 2004 will be a solid year for the lodging industry and for our portfolio."

Asset Sales

On July 18, 2003, the Company closed on the sale of the Norfolk Waterside Marriott, the Palm Beach Gardens Marriott and the Oklahoma City Waterford Marriott hotels for $71 million. The Company expects the proceeds will be used primarily to retire existing debt.

"We are pleased with the sale of these hotels and are continuing to pursue additional asset sales in conjunction with the Company's strategy of recycling capital by disposing of non-core assets," said James F. Risoleo, executive vice president, acquisitions and development.

Balance Sheet

As of June 20, 2003, the Company had $312 million in cash on hand and $250 million of availability under its credit facility. The Company does not believe that it will need to borrow under the credit facility in 2003.

During June 2003, the Company acquired the remaining outside interests in the 772-room J.W. Marriott, Washington, D.C. for approximately $3 million and began to consolidate the partnership in the second quarter. The Company currently intends to refinance the existing $95 million mortgage debt on the property, which matures in December 2003, with floating rate debt.

W. Edward Walter, executive vice president and chief financial officer, stated, "We continue to focus on liquidity and improving our balance sheet in order to maximize our flexibility to be able to address any uncertainties and to take advantage of opportunities as they arise."

2003 Outlook

The Company's updated guidance for RevPAR for full year 2003 is for a decline of approximately 3% to 5% and a third quarter RevPAR decrease of approximately 2.5% to 4.0%. Based upon this guidance, the Company estimates the following:

* Diluted loss per share should be approximately $.69 to $.60 for the full year and approximately $.29 to $.27 for the third quarter;

* Net loss should be approximately $148 million to $124 million for the full year and approximately $68 million to $63 million for the third quarter;

* FFO per diluted share (as defined by NAREIT) should be approximately $.62 to $.70 for the full year and approximately $.00 to $.02 for the third quarter; the Company's previous full year forecast included $.04 of FFO per diluted share for the income tax benefit related to the purchase of our leases, which has been excluded from this estimate. See discussion of FFO per diluted share below in the "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" section of this press release;

* Adjusted EBITDA should be approximately $725 million to $750 million for the full year. The Company's previous full year forecast of EBITDA included approximately $15 million of adjustments primarily related to non-cash stock compensation expense, fair market value adjustments for hedge instruments and foreign currency adjustments, which has been excluded from this estimate. See discussion below in the "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" section of this press release for further detail.

Although the Company has more than adequate liquidity, based upon the current forecast, it is unlikely that the Company will pay a fourth quarter 2003 dividend on its preferred shares due to limitations in the Company's senior notes indenture and credit facility, both of which restrict the Company's ability to pay dividends when the Company's EBITDA to interest coverage ratio (as defined in our senior notes indenture) is below 2.0 to 1.0. The Company does not expect to pay a common dividend in 2003.

*** Tables to Follow***

The Company

Host Marriott Corporation, herein referred to as we or Host Marriott, is primarily the owner of hotel properties. We operate as a self-managed and self-administered real estate investment trust, or REIT. We conduct our operations as an umbrella partnership REIT through an operating partnership, Host Marriott, L.P., or Host LP, of which we are the sole general partner. For each share of our common stock, Host LP has issued to us one unit of operating partnership interest, or OP Unit. When distinguishing between Host Marriott and Host LP, the primary difference is the 10% partnership interests of Host LP held by outside partners as of June 20, 2003, which is reflected as minority interest in our balance sheet and minority interest expense in our statement of operations. Readers are encouraged to find further detail regarding our organizational structure in our annual report on Form 10-K.

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 different from measures calculated and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, within the meaning of applicable Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, rules that we believe are useful to investors. They are as follows: (i) Funds From Operations per diluted share, (ii) EBITDA, (iii) Adjusted EBITDA and (iv) Comparable Hotel-Level Results. The following discussion defines these terms and presents why we believe they are useful measures of our performance.

FFO per Diluted Share

The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT, defines Funds From Operations, or FFO, as net income (computed in accordance with GAAP) excluding gains (or losses) from sales of real estate and real estate-related depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. FFO is presented on a per share basis after making adjustments for the effects of dilutive securities. We use FFO per diluted share as a measure of our performance because historical cost accounting for real estate assets implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. However, because real estate values have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, most industry investors have considered presentation of operating results for real estate companies that use historical cost accounting to be misleading or uninformative. NAREIT adopted the definition of FFO in order to promote an industry-wide standard measure of REIT operating performance that would not have historical cost accounting treatments associated with net income under GAAP. We believe that the presentation of FFO per diluted share provides useful information to investors regarding our financial condition and results of operations because it is a better measure of our operating performance. In addition, it facilitates comparisons between us and other REITs, including when making investment decisions. FFO per diluted share is also used by the Compensation Policy Committee of the Board of Directors to establish criteria for performance-based compensation. In previous periods, we presented the financial measure "Comparative FFO," which represented FFO per diluted share determined in accordance with NAREIT adjusted for contingent rent and significant non-recurring items such as the repurchase of our leasehold interests in 2000 and 2001 and the resolution of prior year tax matters in 2002. However, based on recent guidance provided by the SEC, we have elected to conform to the NAREIT definition of FFO. Accordingly, we have reconciled our Comparative FFO disclosures to FFO per diluted share using the NAREIT definition for prior years as set forth later in this press release.

EBITDA

Earnings Before Interest, Income Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization, or EBITDA, is a commonly used measure of performance in many industries which management believes provides useful information to investors regarding our results of operations. EBITDA helps us and our investors evaluate the ongoing operating performance of our properties and facilitates comparisons between us and other lodging REITs and hotel owners. Management uses EBITDA to provide a baseline when evaluating property-level results. Management also uses EBITDA as one measure in determining the value of acquisitions and dispositions and, like FFO per diluted share, it is widely used by management in the annual budget process.

Adjusted EBITDA

Management has historically adjusted EBITDA when evaluating our performance because we believe that the exclusion of certain recurring items described below is necessary to provide the most accurate measure of the performance of our investment portfolio and to more fully reflect the ongoing value of the company as a whole. Due to recent guidance provided by the SEC, we now do not reflect such items when calculating EBITDA but, instead, adjust for these items and refer to this measure as Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter 2003 reflects EBITDA adjusted for the following items:

* Gains and Losses on Dispositions and Related Debt Extinguishments - We exclude the effect of the gains and losses recorded on the disposition of assets and the related debt extinguishments because we believe that including them in EBITDA is not consistent with reflecting the ongoing performance of our remaining assets. In addition, material gains or losses from the depreciated value of the assets disposed of, and the related debt extinguishments could be less important to investors, given that the depreciated asset often does not reflect the market value of real estate assets (as noted above for FFO).

* Consolidated Partnership Adjustments - We exclude the minority interest in the income or loss of our consolidated partnerships because we believe that including them in EBITDA does not reflect the impact of the minority interest position on our performance because these amounts effectively include our minority partners' pro-rata portion of depreciation, amortization and interest expense, which are excluded from EBITDA. However, we believe the cash distributions paid to minority partners is a more relevant measure, and have included the effect of these cash distributions in the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA.

* Equity Investment Adjustments - We exclude the equity in earnings (losses) of unconsolidated investments in partnerships and joint ventures because our percentage in the earnings (losses) does not reflect the impact of our minority interest position on our performance and these amounts effectively include our pro-rata portion of depreciation, amortization and interest expense, which are excluded from EBITDA. However, we believe that cash distributions we receive are a more relevant measure of the performance of our investment and, therefore, we include the cash distributed to us from these investments in the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA.

In previous periods, we also adjusted EBITDA for non-cash items such as stock compensation expense and fair market value adjustments to hedge instruments and foreign currency. Due to recent guidance provided by the SEC, we have modified our calculation to exclude these adjustments and, accordingly, we have reconciled our historical EBITDA disclosures for prior years to EBITDA and to Adjusted EBITDA as set forth later in this press release.

Limitations on the Use of Non-GAAP Measures

FFO per diluted share, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, as presented, may not be comparable to measures calculated 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 prescribed by GAAP. Cash expenditures for various long-term assets, interest expense (for EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA purposes only) and other items have been and will be incurred and are not reflected in the EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and FFO per diluted share presentations. Additionally, FFO per diluted share, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA 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, FFO per diluted share should not be used as a measure of amounts that accrue directly to shareholders' benefit. However, our consolidated statement of operations and cash flows includes disclosure of our interest expense, capital expenditures and other items, all of which should be considered when evaluating our performance, as well as the usefulness of our non-GAAP financial measures.

Comparable Hotel-Level Results

We define our comparable hotels as consolidated hotel properties that are owned or leased by us and for which we reported operating results throughout the reporting periods being compared. We exclude from our comparable operating results hotels that have been acquired or sold during 2003 or 2002, or that have had substantial property damage or that have undergone large-scale capital projects. Comparable hotel-level results does not present operating results for our non-hotel properties or the results of our leased limited service hotels. As of June 20, 2003, we consider 119, of our portfolio of 123 hotels, to be comparable properties for the periods presented. The hotels whose operating results that are excluded from comparable hotel-level results for the periods presented are the New York Financial Center Marriott (substantially damaged in the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks and re- opened in January 2002), the Boston Marriott Copley Place (acquired in June 2002), The Ritz-Carlton, Naples Golf Resort (opened in January 2002) and the JW Marriott, Washington, D.C. (consolidated in the second quarter of 2003). The comparable hotel-level results include the results of the Norfolk Waterside Marriott, the Waterford Marriott Oklahoma City and the Palm Beach Gardens Marriott, which were sold on July 18, 2003 and will be considered non- comparable for our third quarter 2003 reporting.

Our operating results for our comparable hotels include hotel-level operating profit and the related hotel-level operating profit margin for these properties. We believe that the comparable hotel-level results help us and our investors evaluate the ongoing operating performance of our properties and facilitate comparisons with other REITs and hotel owners. Management uses these measures to establish a baseline to assess property-level results, including when we acquire or sell assets. While these measures are based on GAAP, costs such as depreciation and amortization, income taxes, interest expense, corporate expenses and other corporate items have been incurred by us and are not reflected in this presentation. In addition, we adjust the revenues and expenses at these properties so that the results reflect comparable reporting periods discussed below. We believe that excluding these items provides the most accurate measure of the performance of our comparable properties. As a result, the comparable hotel-level results do not represent our total revenues, expenses or operating profit and these hotel-level results should not be used to evaluate the performance of the Company as a whole. However, our consolidated statement of operations includes such amounts, all of which should be considered when evaluating our performance, as well as the usefulness of our non-GAAP measures.

Reporting Period

We receive the results of operations of our hotels from our managers based on their reporting cycles, which are either monthly or every four weeks. As a REIT, we are required by tax laws to report results on a calendar year ended December 31. However, our quarterly results reflect the reporting cycle that is used by Marriott International, Inc., the manager of the majority of our properties, whose year ends on the Friday closest to December 31 and which reflect twelve weeks of operations for the first three quarters of the year and sixteen or seventeen weeks for the fourth quarter of the year. Our results are also adjusted to reflect a fiscal calendar year that has a January 1 starting date and a December 31 ending date. In any given quarter, quarter- over-quarter results could have different starting and/or ending dates. For example, the second quarter of 2003 ended on June 20 and the second quarter of 2002 ended on June 14, though both quarters reflect twelve weeks of operations. In addition, because our starting and ending dates may not match Marriott International's starting and ending dates, our first and fourth quarters of each year and year-to-date periods may not have the same number of days as was reflected in a prior year. For example, our consolidated financial statements as of June 20, 2003 reflect 171 days, while our year-to-date results as of June 14, 2002 reflect 165 days.

Approximately one-fourth of our full-service hotels are operated by managers other than Marriott International, and report revenues on a monthly basis versus our four week period, the accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect three months of operations for the second quarter (March, April and May), but five months of operations year-to-date (January through May). Results in the third quarter will reflect three months of operations and fourth quarter results will reflect four months of operations for these hotels.

Hotel Operating Statistics

Our reported hotel operating statistics (i.e., RevPAR, average daily rate and average occupancy) for the quarters ended June 20, 2003 and June 14, 2002 reflect results for the twelve week periods from March 29, 2003 to June 20, 2003 and March 23, 2002 to June 14, 2002, respectively, for our Marriott- managed hotels and results for March, April and May for operations of all other hotels which report results on a monthly basis.

Our reported hotel operating statistics for year-to-date June 20, 2003 and year-to-date June 14, 2002 reflect results for the twenty four week periods (or 168 days) from January 4, 2003 to June 20, 2003 and December 29, 2001 to June 14, 2002, respectively, for our Marriott-managed hotels and results for January through May for operations of all other hotels which report results on a monthly basis.

        per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available
        to common shareholders as adjusted for dilutive securities, by the
        weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding plus
        other dilutive securities. Dilutive securities may include shares
        granted under comprehensive stock plans, those preferred OP Units held
        by minority partners, other minority interests that have the option to
        convert their limited partnership interests to common OP Units and the
        Convertible Preferred Securities. No effect is shown for securities if
        they are anti-dilutive.

    (a) Represents FFO attributable to the minority interest in Host LP.

    (b) The share count has not been adjusted for shares of common stock
        issuable upon redemption of common OP Units outstanding held by
        minority partners in Host LP as they were antidilutive for all periods
        presented. For the quarters ended June 20, 2003 and June 14, 2002,
        there were 27.4 million and 26.9 million, respectively, weighted
        average units outstanding. For year-to-date June 20, 2003 and June 14,
        2002, there were 27.5 million and 24.2 million, respectively, weighted
        average units outstanding.

    (c) FFO per diluted share in accordance with NAREIT is adjusted for the
        effects of dilutive securities. Dilutive securities may include shares
        granted under comprehensive stock plans, those preferred OP Units held
        by minority partners, other minority interests that have the option to
        convert their limited partnership interest to common OP Units and the
        Convertible Preferred Securities.  No effect is shown for securities
        if they are anti-dilutive.

    (d) The Company previously reported Comparative FFO (see the discussion
        beginning on page 5 of this press release). FFO per NAREIT excludes $3
        million for each of the second quarter 2003 and 2002 and $6 million
        for each of year-to-date 2003 and 2002 related to an income tax
        benefit for the purchase of our leases that would have been included
        in Comparative FFO.

    (a) The amounts shown in these reconciliations are based on
        management's estimate of operations for full-year 2003 and the
        third quarter of 2003. These tables are forward-looking and as such
        contain assumptions by management based on known and unknown risks,
        uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual
        transactions, results, performance or achievements to be materially
        different from any future transactions, results, performance or
        achievements expressed or implied by this table. General economic
        conditions, competition and governmental actions will affect future
        transactions, results, performance and achievements. Although we
        believe the expectations reflected in this reconciliation are based
        upon reasonable assumptions, we can give no assurance that the
        expectations will be attained or that any deviations will not be
        material.

        For purposes of preparing the third quarter and full-year 2003
        forecasts, we have made the following assumptions:

            * RevPAR will decrease between 2.5% and 4.0% for the third
              quarter and decrease between 3.0% and 5.0% for the full-year
              2003 for the high and low ends of the forecasted ranges,
              respectively.

            * Comparable hotel-level EBITDA margins will decrease between
              2.0 percentage points and 2.5 percentage points for the full-
              year 2003 for the high and low end of the forecasted ranges,
              respectively.

            * $175 million of hotels will be sold during 2003 and the
              proceeds are utilized to retire debt, including proceeds from
              the $97 million in dispositions completed to date.

            * $210 million in renewal and replacement capital expenditures
              will be incurred during 2003.

            * Fully diluted shares will be 267.6 million and 267.4 million,
              respectively, for the third quarter and full-year 2003.

    (b) Represents FFO attributable to the minority interests in Host LP
        during 2003.

    (c) These shares are dilutive for purposes of the FFO per diluted share
        calculation, yet are anti-dilutive for the purposes of the earnings
        per share calculation. This is due to the net loss that is
        forecasted for 2003 compared to net earnings for FFO for the year.

    (d) FFO per diluted share in accordance with NAREIT is adjusted for the
        effects of dilutive securities. Dilutive securities may include
        shares granted under comprehensive stock plans, those preferred OP
        Units held by minority partners, other minority interests that have
        the option to convert their limited partnership interest to common
        OP Units and the Convertible Preferred Securities.  No effect is
        shown for securities if they are anti-dilutive.

    (a) Our comparable operating statistics include the results of three
        hotels (the Norfolk Waterside Marriott, the Oklahoma City Waterford
        Marriott and the Palm Beach Gardens Marriott) which were sold on July
        18, 2003.  Excluding these hotels, our RevPAR would be $99.71 and
        $99.64, respectively, for the quarter ended and year-to-date June 20,
        2003 and $108.75 and $107.16, respectively, for the quarter ended and
        year-to-date June 14, 2002. See discussion of Reporting Periods and
        Hotel Operating Statistics described earlier in this press release.

    (b) RevPAR represents room revenue per available room, which measures
        daily room revenues generated on a per room basis, excluding food and
        beverage revenues or other ancillary revenues generated by the
        properties.

    (c) Includes nine Ritz-Carlton properties owned by us for all periods
        presented, excluding The Ritz-Carlton, Naples Golf Resort, which was
        placed in service in January 2002.

    (a) On June 19, 2003, we issued 33,182 shares of 10% Class D Cumulative
        Redeemable Preferred Stock to Fernwood Holdings LLC, an indirectly
        wholly owned taxable subsidiary of Host LP. Dividends paid on the
        Class D preferred stock, will equal approximately $21,000 per quarter.
        The holder of the Class D preferred stock is entitled to receive
        cumulative cash dividends at a rate of 10% per annum of the $25.00 per
        share liquidation preference and is payable quarterly in arrears. We
        have the option to redeem the Class D preferred stock at any time
        after July 1, 2004, for $25.00 per share, plus accrued and unpaid
        dividends to the date of redemption. The Class D preferred stock is on
        parity with our Class A, B and C preferred stock. The Class D
        preferred stock has not been registered with the Securities and
        Exchange Commission or listed on the New York Stock Exchange. In
        accordance with Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, stock issued to a
        wholly-owned subsidiary is not presented on the balance sheet and
        dividends on such stock are not deducted in the determination of net
        income (loss) available to common stockholders or in the calculation
        of earnings per share.

    (b) Share prices are the closing price on the balance sheet date, as
        reported by the NYSE for the common and preferred stock. The shares of
        Convertible Preferred Securities are not traded on an exchange. Our
        Convertible Preferred Securities per share price is deemed to be the
        higher of the buy or sell price as provided by the trading desk for
        Goldman Sachs in New York, New York on the relevant date.

    (c) We did not declare a common stock dividend in the first two quarters
        of 2003 or in full year 2002.

    (d) Dividends reflect a quarterly cash dividend of $.625 per share for the
        Class A, Class B, Class C and Class D preferred stock.  Dividends paid
        on the four classes of preferred stock are distributions for purposes
        of satisfying the minimum distribution requirement necessary to
        maintain REIT status.

    (a) The three tables shown above present reconciliations of FFO per
        diluted share to our previously reported Comparative FFO per diluted
        share for each reporting period in 2002 and the first quarter of 2003.
        The SEC recently finalized its guidance related to non-GAAP financial
        measures and, as a result, we have revised our calculation of FFO per
        diluted share to conform to the NAREIT definition. See the discussion
        in the "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" mentioned earlier in this press
        release. As previously presented, Comparative FFO per diluted share
        included adjustments for the following significant items:

           * Results for all periods in 2002 and first quarter 2003 were
             adjusted to reflect the realization of an income tax benefit as a
             result of the purchase of 120 leasehold interests at year-end
             2000 and during June 2001.

           * Results for year-end 2002 were adjusted to reflect the effect of
             non-recurring items in the current period tax provision (benefit)
             including the resolution of prior year tax matters and other
             items.

           * Results for the first three quarters of 2002 were adjusted to
             reflect contingent rent that was previously deferred under SEC
             Staff Accounting Bulletin 101, or SAB 101.  This adjustment
             reflects revenues based on payment amounts calculated under our
             hotel leases.

    (b) Represents FFO attributable to the minority interests in Host LP.

    (c) The share count has not been adjusted for the minority common OP Units
        outstanding as they were antidilutive for all periods presented. For
        the quarters ended June 20, 2003 and June 14, 2002, there were 27.4
        million and 26.9 million, respectively, weighted average units
        outstanding. For year-to-date June 20, 2003 and June 14, 2002 there
        were 27.5 million and 24.2 million, respectively, weighted average
        units outstanding.

    (d) FFO per diluted share in accordance with NAREIT is adjusted for the
        effects of dilutive securities. Dilutive securities may include shares
        granted under comprehensive stock plans, those preferred OP Units held
        by minority partners, other minority interests that have the option to
        convert their limited partnership interest to common OP Units and the
        Convertible Preferred Securities.  No effect is shown for securities
        if they are anti-dilutive.
