Fourth Quarter Operating & Financial Results

Revenues from continuing operations for the three months ended December 31, 2013 declined 6.4 percent, to $12.6 million from $13.4 million in the prior year. The effects of rebranding four hotels and the performance of the two hotels in the Washington D.C. market continue to negatively impact revenue. This was partially offset by a decline in expenses of $0.25 million during the fourth quarter.

For the three months ended December 31, 2013, net loss attributable to common shareholders improved by $5.0 million, bringing the net loss to $(2.2) million, or $(0.76) per diluted share, compared to $(7.3) million, or $(2.51) per diluted share, for the same period in 2012. The fourth quarter of 2013 included non-cash impairment charges of $5.4 million and was offset by unrealized gain on derivatives of $5.5 million.  This compares to an impairment charge of $1.9 million and a gain on the derivatives of $1.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2012. Also included in the fourth quarter results of 2013 was no income tax expense or benefit compared to an income tax expense of $6.0 million, this change was due to the recording of tax valuation allowances recorded in December 2012 and in each subsequent quarter through December 2013.  The initial recording of the valuation allowance in December 31, 2012 resulted in the $6.0 million tax expense which created the variance between years as noted above.

Funds from operations (FFO) was $4.8 million for the 2013 fourth quarter, compared to $(5.2) million in the same 2012 period. Adjusted funds from operations (AFFO), which is FFO adjusted to exclude gains and losses on derivative liabilities, acquisition costs and equity offering expense, in the 2013 fourth quarter was $(0.8) million, compared to $(6.5) million in the same 2012 period, an increase of $5.7 million over the prior period which is due to the change in income tax expense/benefit related to the establishment of a valuation allowance as noted above.

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) was $1.6 million compared with $3.2 million for the 2012 fourth quarter. Adjusted EBITDA, which is EBITDA before noncontrolling interest, net gain/loss on disposition of assets, impairment, preferred stock dividends, unrealized gain/loss on derivatives, acquisition expense and equity offering expense, declined to $2.1 million, compared to $2.7 million for the 2012 fourth quarter, a decrease of $0.6 million due to reduction in total property operating income (POI).

In the 2013 fourth quarter, the 50-hotel, same store portfolio's RevPAR declined 6.9 percent to $32.30, with a 1.5 percent decline in ADR to $60.37, and a 5.5 percent occupancy decline to 53.5 percent, compared to the 2012 fourth quarter. 

"The required rebranding of four of our seasoned hotels to flags lower in the chain scale during the year continued to have a negative impact on the RevPAR and occupancy for our same store hotels, more than offsetting gains for some of our other hotels and markets during the fourth quarter," said Kelly Walters, Supertel's President and Chief Executive Officer. "We believe the performance of the rebranded hotels is stabilizing as our guests rediscover the hotels after the identity transition. Further, we expect to see improvement in the bottom line results for our same store hotels in 2014."

Full-Year Financial Results

Income from continuing operations for the twelve months ended December 31, 2013 was $0.7 million, compared to loss from continuing operations of $(11.1) million for 2012. After recognition of discontinued operations, noncontrolling interests and dividends for preferred stock shareholders, the net loss attributable to common shareholders was $(4.7) million or $(1.63) per diluted share, for the year ended December 31, 2013, compared to net loss attributable to common shareholders of $(13.4) million or $(4.64) per diluted share for 2012.

During 2013 revenues from continuing operations decreased $(2.0) million or 3.5 percent compared to 2012. Hotel revenue includes a $1.0 million increase from the new hotel purchased in May 2012, reflecting a full year of operations in 2013 versus seven months in 2012. This revenue increase is offset by an approximate $3.0 million decrease in revenue from six hotels. Four of these hotels were rebranded to brands that charge lower daily rates and require new reservation systems, which will take time to stabilize; and two of these hotels were impacted by general weakness in the Washington D.C. market. Hotel and property operations expenses from continuing operations for the year ended 2013 increased $0.8 million or 1.8 percent. The increase in hotel operating expenses reflects a full year of operations in 2013 of the hotel purchased in May 2012 versus seven months of operations in 2012. In addition, the decrease in variable expenses due to the reduction in revenue was primarily offset by brand required bedding program upgrades.

For full-year 2013, the company recorded $7.1 million of impairment charges, including $4.4 million against discontinued operations hotels and $2.7 million against continuing operations properties compared to $10.2 million of total impairment charges in 2012.

FFO for the full year 2013 was $7.9 million, compared to $(2.3) million for the same 2012 period. Adjusted FFO for 2013 was $(0.4) million, compared to $(1.8) million reported at December 31, 2012, an increase of $1.4 million. The $5.6 million reduction in tax expense related to the impact of the tax valuation allowance as described above and decreases in interest expense, are offset by the decrease in total property operating income and expenses related to debt extinguishment which resulted in a net increase of $1.4 million.

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) was $12.0 million compared with $11.1 million for 2012. Adjusted EBITDA, which is EBITDA before noncontrolling interest, net gain/loss on disposition of assets, impairment, preferred stock dividends, unrealized gain/loss on derivatives, acquisition expense and equity offering expense, declined to $12.4 million, compared to $17.1 million for 2012, a reduction of $4.7 million due to decreased total company property operating income.

The portfolio of 49 same store hotels in 2013, compared with the same period a year earlier, had a 5.5 percent decline in RevPAR to $35.58, caused by a 5.9 percent decline in occupancy to 59.0 percent, partially offset by a 0.4 percent increase in ADR to $60.32. The RevPAR and occupancy decline are due primarily to rebranding of four hotels and general weakness in the Washington D.C. market impacting two hotels. Excluding the four rebranded hotels and the two hotels in the Washington D.C. market, RevPAR for the same-store portfolio in 2013 was $36.03, a 0.5 percent increase, compared to the same period in 2012. 

Disposition Program

During 2013 the company sold 17 hotels for gross proceeds of $22 million. Proceeds were used primarily to improve the balance sheet by reducing debt and lowering annual debt service. The sold properties included:

On March 10, 2014, following the close of the fourth quarter, the company sold the 55-room Super 8 in Shawano, Wisconsin for $1.1 million.

The company is marketing 19 hotels for sale and expects to generate approximately $41.7 million in gross proceeds to be used primarily to pay off the underlying loans in the amount of $24.1 million with remaining cash used to reduce short term borrowings and fund operations. 

Capital Reinvestment

During 2013, the company invested approximately $5.3 million in capital improvements and renovations. During 2014 the company expects to invest approximately $6.0 million in its hotels for capital improvements and renovations.

Balance Sheet

The company continued to improve its balance sheet in 2013 through mortgage debt reduction, loan-term extensions, covenant modifications and obtaining new debt refinancing. During 2013 the debt was reduced on all hotel properties, including the revolving credit facility, by $15.0 million from $133.0 million to $118.0 million.

As of December 31, 2013, Supertel had $93.9 million in outstanding debt on its continuing operations hotels with an average term of 2.8 years and weighted average annual interest rate of 6.2 percent. 

Dividends

The company did not declare a dividend on common stock for December 2013. The company's board of directors elected commencing December 31, 2013 to suspend the payment of the monthly dividends on the outstanding shares of its 8.00% Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (NASDAQ: SPPRP), quarterly dividends on the outstanding shares of its 10.00% Series B Preferred Cumulative Stock (NASDAQ: SPPRO), and the quarterly dividends on the outstanding shares of its 6.25% Series C Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock to preserve capital and improve liquidity. The board of directors will continue to monitor the dividend policy on a quarterly basis.

Outlook 2014

"The long reinvention of Supertel continues in 2014 with no change to the business plan which is to transition the company methodically up the chain scale toward newer and more upscale hotels, while continuing to systematically liquidate our older, non-core properties and pay down our mortgage debt," Walters said. "In September of 2013, we felt Supertel was positioned to recapitalize the company through a public offering of common stock to fund the planned acquisition of eight hotels. Unfortunately, the prevailing market conditions were such that we did not reach the level of commitments necessary to successfully complete the recapitalization plan. Immediately following the withdrawal of the stock offering, we began exploring alternative strategies to raise the much needed growth capital.

"We remain positive on the hotel business for at least the next three years, a view which is supported by the industry's leading forecasters. The business recovery we have witnessed to date has not been nearly as robust in the secondary and tertiary markets as it has been in the nation's largest cities, but there are positive signs in many of the smaller markets, and the outlook for economy hotels is now stronger than it has been since the recovery began in 2010."

FFO and Adjusted FFO ("AFFO") are non-GAAP financial measures. We consider FFO and AFFO to be market accepted measures of an equity REIT's operating performance, which are 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, amortization and impairment of real estate assets. We believe our method of calculating FFO complies with the NAREIT definition. AFFO is FFO adjusted to exclude gains or losses on derivative liabilities, which are non-cash charges against income and which do not represent results from our core operations. AFFO also adds back acquisition costs and equity offering expense. FFO and AFFO do 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 and AFFO should not be considered as alternatives to net income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP) as an indicator of our liquidity, nor are they indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to pay dividends or make distributions. All REITs do not calculate FFO and AFFO in the same manner; therefore, our calculation may not be the same as the calculation of FFO and AFFO for similar REITs.

Diluted FFO per share and diluted Adjusted FFO per share are computed after adjusting the numerator and denominator of the basic computation for the effects of any dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. The Company's outstanding stock options and certain warrants to purchase common stock would be antidilutive and are not included in the dilution computation.

We use FFO and AFFO as performance measures to facilitate a periodic evaluation of our operating results relative to those of our peers. We consider FFO and AFFO to be useful additional measures 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 and AFFO provide a meaningful indication of our performance.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are financial measures that are not calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). We calculate EBITDA and 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 EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA also do not represent an amount that accrues directly to common shareholders. In calculating Adjusted EBITDA, we add back noncontrolling interest, net (gain) loss on disposition of assets, preferred stock dividends, acquisition expenses and equity offering expense which are cash charges. We also add back impairment and unrealized gain or loss on derivatives, which are non-cash charges.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not represent cash generated from operating activities determined by GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to net income, cash flow from operations or any other operating performance measure prescribed by GAAP. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not measures of our liquidity, nor are they indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to make cash distributions. Neither do the measurements reflect cash expenditures for long-term assets and other items that have been and will be incurred. EBITDA and 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. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, as presented, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

Property Operating Income (POI) - Continuing and Discontinued Operations

This presentation includes non-GAAP financial measures, and should not be considered as an alternative to loss from continuing operations or loss from discontinued operations, net of tax. The company believes that the presentation of hotel property operating income (POI) is helpful to investors, and represents a more useful description of its core operations, as it better communicates the comparability of its hotels' operating results. Same store results for the quarter are for 50 hotels in continuing operations. Same store for the full year includes 49 hotels in continuing operations and excludes one hotel purchased during 2012.
