Supertel Hospitality Reports 2010 Third Quarter Results


NORFOLK, NE--(Marketwire - November 10, 2010) - Supertel Hospitality, Inc. (NASDAQ: SPPR), a real estate investment trust (REIT) which owns 106 hotels in 23 states, today announced its results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2010.

   --  Revenue from continuing operations rose 6.5 percent
   --  Net loss per diluted share of $(0.02) compared to prior year
       net loss of $(0.06) per diluted share
   --  FFO of $0.10 per diluted share, and FFO without impairment of
       $0.15 per diluted share

Revenues from continuing operations for the 2010 third quarter rose 6.5 percent to $24.9 million, compared to the same year-ago period. Net loss attributable to common shareholders for the 2010 third quarter was $(0.5) million, or $(0.02) per diluted share, compared to net loss attributable to common shareholders of $(1.4) million, or $(0.06) per diluted share, in the 2009 same quarter. The $0.9 million improvement in earnings was primarily the result of an increase in revenue from continuing operations.

Funds from operations (FFO), which includes $0.9 million of impairment charges, for the 2010 third quarter was $2.4 million, or $0.10 per diluted share. Third quarter impairment charges included $1.3 million resulting from declining expectations related to recoverability of carrying values on seven of the hotels held for sale and was partially offset by $0.4 million of impairment charges recovered on two held for sale hotels.

Funds from operations (FFO) without impairment, a non-cash item, in the 2010 third quarter, improved 20.7 percent to $3.3 million, or $0.15 per diluted share, compared to $2.8 million, or $0.13 per diluted share, in the same 2009 period.

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, noncontrolling interest and preferred stock dividends (Adjusted EBITDA) increased to $5.8 million, compared to $5.5 million for the third quarter of 2009.

Third Quarter Highlights

   --  Revenue per available room (RevPAR) rose 6.6 percent, led by
       an 8.4 percent increase in occupancy

   --  Sold a Super 8 hotel in Parsons, Kansas, with net proceeds
       used to reduce debt.

   --  Entered into sales contracts on two additional held for sale
       hotels, bringing the number to six under contract at September 30

"Our two primary focuses are improving revenues and strengthening our balance sheet, primarily through selling non-strategic assets," said Kelly A. Walters, Supertel's president and CEO. "Since the close of the quarter, we have sold five additional held for sale hotels with gross proceeds of $5.8 million, notwithstanding the fact that the difficult economy, especially the lack of debt financing, is restraining a lot of activity."

Operating Results

Third quarter 2010 revenues from continuing operations rose $1.5 million, or 6.5 percent, to $24.9 million over the third quarter 2009. The continuing operations portfolio of 89 hotels in the 2010 third quarter, compared with the same period a year earlier, reported an 8.4 percent increase in occupancy and a 1.7 percent decrease in ADR, resulting in a 6.6 percent increase in RevPAR.

Economy hotels

The company's 54 continuing operations economy hotels reported a 3.7 percent increase in RevPAR, compared to 5.9 percent for the industry, to $32.91 in the 2010 third quarter, resulting from a 4.7 percent rise in occupancy to 66.9 percent and a 1.0 percent decrease in ADR to $49.20.

Midscale without food and beverage hotels

Third quarter RevPAR for the company's 28 continuing operations midscale without food and beverage hotels rose 9.5 percent to $47.93. Occupancy for these properties rose 9.7 percent while ADR was essentially flat, down 0.2 percent, to $69.78.

Extended-stay hotels

The company's seven continuing operations extended stay hotels reported a 14.9 percent increase in RevPAR to $17.58, reflecting a 20.8 percent rise in occupancy to 76.0 percent, partially offset by a 4.9 percent decline in ADR to $23.12.

"We instructed our operators to focus on building occupancy, rather than driving room rate during the quarter, especially at our extended-stay properties," Walters noted. "We believe there will be an opportunity to increase rate in the near future, but expect that it will vary from market to market and from day to day. We are encouraged by the slow, steady pace of recovery that is giving us a little more flexibility and a little less resistance from travelers. Our operators are monitoring revenue management on a daily basis."

Hotel and property operations expenses from continuing operations for the 2010 third quarter increased $1.0 million, or 5.9 percent, over the like 2009 period, compared to a 6.5 percent improvement in revenues. The majority of the cost increase was hotel payroll-related as a result of higher occupancy.

For the 2010 third quarter, property operating income (POI) from continuing operations increased $0.5 million to $6.7 million, compared to the year-ago period. POI as a percent of revenue improved 0.4 percentage points from 26.6 percent in the 2009 third quarter to 27.0 percent for the 2010 third quarter. (POI is calculated as revenue from room rentals and other hotel services less hotel and property operations expenses.) This increase resulted from the improvement in revenue exceeding the increase in expenses. "In addition to more focused operations management, the sale of non-strategic hotels, which typically have lower performance metrics, is having a positive effect on margins," he said.

General and administration expense from continuing operations for the 2010 third quarter dropped $0.3 million compared to the prior period. "We continue to root out excess costs and lower our overall expenses," he noted.

Dispositions

During the third quarter, one hotel was sold for a price of $1.1 million with net proceeds used to reduce debt. Subsequent to the third quarter, five hotels were sold for an aggregate $5.8 million, the net proceeds of which were also used to reduce debt. As of today, the company has 17 properties held for sale.

Impairment of $1.3 million was recorded on seven of the 22 properties classified in discontinued operations in the third quarter. A total of $0.4 million of impairment was recovered on two held for sale properties, for a net impairment charge of $0.9 million. The new impairment was the result of the continued decline of real estate prices, resulting in a reduction in the estimated value of these hotels.

"Buyers have shown a lot of interest in our properties, but getting the hotels to closing is taking longer than we originally forecasted. Credit availability remains a challenge for buyers, but has improved somewhat as of late," said Connie Scarpello, Supertel's chief financial officer.

Balance Sheet

The company as of September 30, 2010 has $145.5 million in outstanding debt on hotels in continuing operations with an average term of 4.4 years and weighted average annual interest rate of 6.2 percent.

The Wells Fargo mortgage loan, maturing on August 12, 2010, was extended to March 12, 2011 and currently has a balance of $5.4 million.

Dividends

The company did not declare a common stock dividend for the 2010 third quarter. Preferred dividends have continued uninterrupted. The company will monitor requirements to maintain its REIT status and will continue to evaluate the dividend policy on a quarterly basis.

Outlook

"We continue to make progress in making Supertel a stronger, more viable company," Walters said. "If we maintain our disposition program at the current pace, we will have a much stronger portfolio by mid-year 2011. While we still have a ways to go and the economic rebound remains uncertain, we have begun very preliminary stages of planning to restructure our portfolio with larger, more midscale properties in markets with higher barriers to new competition. We believe this will give us greater protection during the negative part of the hotel economic cycle and overall better returns on our investment. This will not happen until we get our balance sheet in much better shape, but we are encouraged enough to begin thinking about how to execute the next phase of our strategy and put the company back on a growth track and restore the dividend."

FFO is a non-GAAP financial measure. We consider FFO to be a market accepted measure of an equity REIT's operating performance, which is necessary, along with net earnings (loss), for an understanding of our operating results. FFO, as defined under the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT) standards, consists of net income computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains (or losses) from sales of real estate assets, plus depreciation and amortization of real estate assets. We believe our method of calculating FFO complies with the NAREIT definition. FFO does not represent amounts available for management's discretionary use because of needed capital replacement or expansion, debt service obligations, or other commitments and uncertainties. FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP) as an indicator of our liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to pay dividends or make distributions. All REITs do not calculate FFO in the same manner; therefore, our calculation may not be the same as the calculation of FFO for similar REITs.

We use FFO as a performance measure to facilitate a periodic evaluation of our operating results relative to those of our peers, who, like us, are typically members of NAREIT. We consider FFO a useful additional measure of performance for an equity REIT because it facilitates an understanding of the operating performance of our properties without giving effect to real estate depreciation and amortization, which assume that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, we believe that FFO provides a meaningful indication of our performance.

FFO, without impairment, a non-cash item, is a non-GAAP financial measure. As a result of a significant downturn in hotel and lodging fundamentals that took place in 2008 and 2009 and the related decrease in hotel and real estate valuations, we decided that FFO available to common shareholders did not provide all of the information that allows us to better evaluate our operating performance in this unprecedented economic time.

To arrive at FFO without impairment, a non-cash item, we adjust FFO available to common shareholders, to exclude the following items:

   (i)  impairment charges of hotel properties that we have sold or
        expect to sell, included in discontinued operations; and
   (ii) impairment charges of hotel properties classified as held
        for use.

We believe that these items are driven by factors relating to the fundamental disruption in the global financial and real estate markets, rather than factors specific to the company or the performance of our properties or investments.

The impairment charges of hotel properties that were recognized in 2009 and 2010 were primarily based on valuations of hotels, which had declined due to market conditions that we no longer expected to hold for long-term investment, and/or for which we have reduced our prior expected holding periods. In order to enhance liquidity, we have declared certain properties as held for sale and may declare other properties held for sale. To the extent these properties are expected to be sold at a loss, we record an impairment charge when the loss is known. We have recognized certain of these impairment charges over several quarters in 2009 and 2010 and we believe it is reasonably likely that we will recognize similar charges and gains in the near future. However, we believe that as the financial markets stabilize and our liquidity needs change, the potential for impairment charges of our hotel properties will disappear or become immaterial. We believe FFO, without impairment, provides investors with an additional measure to better evaluate our operating performance during this period of fundamental disruption in the global financial and real estate markets.

We analyze our operating performance primarily by revenues from our hotel properties, net of operating, administrative and financing expenses which are not directly impacted by short term fluctuations in the market value of our hotel properties. As a result, although these non-cash impairment charges have had a material impact on our operations and are reflected in our financial statements, the removal of the effects of these items allows us to better understand the core operating performance of our properties over the long term.

Adjusted EBITDA is a financial measure that is not calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). We calculate Adjusted EBITDA by adding back to net earnings (loss) available to common shareholders certain non-operating expenses and non-cash charges which are based on historical cost accounting and we believe may be of limited significance in evaluating current performance. We believe these adjustments can help eliminate the accounting effects of depreciation and amortization and financing decisions and facilitate comparisons of core operating profitability between periods, even though Adjusted EBITDA also does not represent an amount that accrues directly to common shareholders. In calculating Adjusted EBITDA, we also add back preferred stock dividends and noncontrolling interests, which are cash charges.

Adjusted EBITDA doesn't represent cash generated from operating activities determined by GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income, cash flow from operations or any other operating performance measure prescribed by GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of our liquidity, nor is Adjusted EBITDA indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to make cash distributions. Neither does the measurement reflect cash expenditures for long-term assets and other items that have been and will be incurred. Adjusted EBITDA may include funds that may not be available for management's discretionary use due to functional requirements to conserve funds for capital expenditures, property acquisitions, and other commitments and uncertainties. To compensate for this, management considers the impact of these excluded items to the extent they are material to operating decisions or the evaluation of our operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA, as presented, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.
