|
|
to amend the certifications of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief

This Amendment should be read in conjunction with the Original Form 10-Q, which continues to speak
as of the date that the Original Form 10-Q was filed. Except as specifically noted above, this
Amendment does not modify or update any disclosures in the Original Form 10-Q. Accordingly, this

DIAMONDROCK HOSPITALITY COMPANY
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
1. Organization
DiamondRock Hospitality Company (the Company or we) is a lodging-focused real estate
company that owns, as of July 28, 2009, 20 premium hotels and
resorts that contain approximately 9,600 guestrooms. We are committed to
maximizing stockholder value through investing in premium full-service hotels and, to a lesser
extent, premium urban limited-service hotels located throughout the United States. Our hotels are
concentrated in key gateway cities and in destination resort locations and are all operated under a
brand owned by one of the top three lodging national brand companies (Marriott International, Inc.
(Marriott), Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Inc. (Starwood) or Hilton Hotels Corporation
(Hilton)).
We are owners, as opposed to operators, of hotels. As an owner, we receive all of the
operating profits or losses generated by our hotels, after we pay the
hotel managers fees, which are based on
the revenues and profitability of the hotels, and reimburse all of their direct and indirect
operating costs.
As of June 19, 2009, we owned 20 hotels, comprising 9,586 rooms, located in the following
markets: Atlanta, Georgia (3); Austin, Texas; Boston, Massachusetts; Chicago, Illinois (2); Fort
Worth, Texas; Lexington, Kentucky; Los Angeles, California (2); New York, New York (2); Northern
California; Oak Brook, Illinois; Orlando, Florida; Salt Lake City, Utah; Washington D.C.; St.
Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands; and Vail, Colorado.
We conduct our business through a traditional umbrella partnership REIT, or UPREIT, in which
our hotel properties are owned by our operating partnership, DiamondRock Hospitality Limited
Partnership, or subsidiaries of our operating partnership. We are the sole general partner of the
operating partnership and currently own, either directly or indirectly, all of the limited
partnership units of the operating partnership.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
We have condensed or omitted certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in
financial statements presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or
GAAP, in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. We believe the
disclosures made are adequate to prevent the information presented from being misleading. However,
the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto as of and for the year ended December
31, 2008, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K dated February 27, 2009.
In our opinion, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect
all adjustments necessary to present fairly our financial position as of June 19, 2009, the results
of our operations for the fiscal quarters ended June 19, 2009 and June 13, 2008 and the periods
from January 1, 2009 to June 19, 2009 and January 1, 2008 to June 13, 2008 and cash flows for the
periods from January 1, 2009 to June 19, 2009 and January 1, 2008 to June 13, 2008. Interim
results are not necessarily indicative of full-year performance because of the impact of seasonal
and short-term variations.
Our financial statements include all of the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries in
accordance with U.S. GAAP. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation.
Reporting Periods
The results we report in our condensed consolidated statements of operations are based on
results of our hotels reported to us by our hotel managers. Our hotel managers use different
reporting periods. Marriott, the manager of most of our properties, uses a fiscal year ending on
the Friday closest to December 31 and reports twelve weeks of operations for each of the first
three quarters and sixteen or seventeen weeks for the fourth quarter of the year for its domestic
managed hotels. In contrast, Marriott, for its non-domestic hotels (including Frenchmans Reef),
Vail Resorts, manager of the Vail Marriott, Davidson Hotel Company, manager of the Westin Atlanta
North at Perimeter, Hilton Hotels Corporation, manager of the Conrad Chicago, and Westin Hotel
Management, L.P, manager of the Westin Boston Waterfront Hotel report results on a monthly basis.
Additionally, as a REIT, we are required by U.S. federal tax laws to report results on a calendar
year basis. As a result, we have adopted the reporting periods used by Marriott for its domestic
hotels, except that the fiscal year always ends on December 31 to comply with REIT rules. The first
three fiscal quarters end on the same day as Marriotts
fiscal quarters but the fourth quarter ends on December 31 and the full year results, as
reported in the statement of operations, always include the same number of days as the calendar
year.
- 4 -
Two consequences of the reporting cycle we have adopted are: (1) quarterly start dates will
usually differ between years, except for the first quarter which always commences on January 1, and
(2) the first and fourth quarters of operations and year-to-date operations may not include the
same number of days as reflected in prior years.
While the reporting calendar we adopted is more closely aligned with the reporting calendar
used by the manager of most of our properties, one final consequence of the calendar is we are
unable to report any results for Frenchmans Reef, Vail Marriott, Westin Atlanta North at
Perimeter, Conrad Chicago, or Westin Boston Waterfront Hotel for the month of operations that ends
after its fiscal quarter-end because neither Westin Hotel Management, L.P., Hilton Hotels
Corporation, Davidson Hotel Company, Vail Resorts nor Marriott make mid-month results available to
us. As a result, our quarterly results of operations include results from Frenchmans Reef, the
Vail Marriott, the Westin Atlanta North at Perimeter, the Conrad Chicago, and the Westin Boston
Waterfront Hotel as follows: first quarter (January, February), second quarter (March to May),
third quarter (June to August) and fourth quarter (September to December). While this does not
affect full-year results, it does affect the reporting of quarterly results.
Revenue Recognition
Revenues from operations of the hotels are recognized when the services are provided.
Revenues consist of room sales, golf sales, food and beverage sales, and other hotel department
revenues, such as telephone and gift shop sales.
Earnings (Loss) Per Share
Basic
earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net
income (loss), adjusted for
dividends on unvested stock grants, by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding
during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss),
adjusted for dividends on unvested stock grants, by the weighted-average number of common shares
outstanding during the period plus other potentially dilutive securities such as stock grants or
shares issuable in the event of conversion of operating partnership units. No adjustment is made
for shares that are anti-dilutive during a period.
We implemented the provisions of FASB Staff Position EITF 03-6-1, Determining Whether
Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions are Participating Securities, which
resulted in no significant impact on current or prior period earnings (loss) per share.
Stock-based Compensation
We account for stock-based employee compensation using the fair value based method of
accounting under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004) (SFAS 123R),
Share-Based Payment. We record the cost of awards with service conditions based on the grant-date
fair value of the award. That cost is recognized over the period during which an employee is
required to provide service in exchange for the award. No compensation cost is recognized for
equity instruments for which employees do not render the requisite service. No awards with
performance-based or market-based conditions have been issued.
Intangible Assets and Liabilities
Intangible assets and liabilities are recorded on non-market contracts assumed as part of the
acquisition of certain hotels. We review the terms of agreements assumed in conjunction with the
purchase of a hotel to determine if the terms are favorable or unfavorable compared to an estimated
market agreement at the acquisition date. Favorable lease assets or unfavorable contract
liabilities are recorded at the acquisition date and amortized using the straight-line method over
the term of the agreement. We do not amortize intangible assets with indefinite useful lives, but
review these assets for impairment if events or circumstances indicate that the asset may be
impaired.
We have a favorable lease asset with an indefinite life related to the right to enter into a
favorable lease under our option to develop a hotel on an undeveloped parcel of land adjacent to
the Westin Boston Waterfront Hotel. The fair value estimate of the favorable lease uses a
discounted cash flow method. Inputs to the estimate include observable market inputs, including
current ground lease rates and discount rates, and unobservable inputs such as estimated future
hotel revenues. The fair market value of the ground lease declined from $12.1 million to $10.8
million as of June 19, 2009 and we have recorded an impairment loss of $1.3 million during the
fiscal quarter ended June 19, 2009.
- 5 -
Straight-Line Rent
We record rent expense on leases that provide for minimum rental payments that increase in
pre-established amounts over the remaining term of the lease on a straight-line basis as required
by U.S. GAAP.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations
of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents. We maintain cash and cash
equivalents with various high credit-quality financial institutions. We perform periodic
evaluations of the relative credit standing of these financial institutions and limit the amount of
credit exposure with any one institution.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the
reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ
from those estimates.
Risks and Uncertainties
The state of the overall economy can significantly impact hotel operational performance and
thus, impact our financial position. Should any of our hotels experience a significant decline in
operational performance, it may affect our ability to make distributions to our stockholders and
service debt or meet other financial obligations.

As of June 19, 2009, we did not have any accrued capital expenditures. As of December 31,

4. Capital Stock
Common Shares
We are authorized to issue up to 200,000,000 shares of common stock, $.01 par value per share.
Each outstanding share of common stock entitles the holder to one vote on all matters submitted to
a vote of stockholders. Holders of our common stock are entitled to receive dividends out of assets
legally available for the payment of dividends when authorized by our board of directors.
On April 17, 2009, we completed a follow-on public offering of our common stock. We sold
17,825,000 shares of common stock, including the underwriters overallotment of 2,325,000 shares,
at an offering price of $4.85 per share. The net proceeds to us, after deduction of offering
costs, were approximately $82.1 million.
- 6 -
Preferred Shares
We are authorized to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $.01 par value per
share. Our board of directors is required to set for each class or series of preferred stock the
terms, preferences, conversion or other rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to
dividends or other distributions, qualifications, and terms or conditions of redemption. As of June
19, 2009 and December 31, 2008, there were no shares of preferred stock outstanding.
Operating Partnership Units
Holders of operating partnership units have certain redemption rights, which enable them to
cause our operating partnership to redeem their units in exchange for cash per unit equal to the
market price of our common stock, at the time of redemption, or, at our option for shares of our
common stock on a one-for-one basis. The number of shares issuable upon exercise of the redemption
rights will be adjusted upon the occurrence of stock splits, mergers, consolidations or similar
pro-rata share transactions, which otherwise would have the effect of diluting the ownership
interests of the limited partners or our stockholders. As of June 19, 2009 and December 31, 2008,
there were no operating partnership units held by unaffiliated third parties.
5. Stock Incentive Plans
As of June 19, 2009, we have issued or committed to issue 3,194,151 shares of our common stock
under our 2004 Stock Option and Incentive Plan, as amended, including 1,978,595 shares of unvested
restricted common stock and a commitment to issue 466,819 units of deferred common stock.
Restricted Stock Awards
As of June 19, 2009, our officers and employees have been awarded 3,066,967 shares of
restricted common stock, including those shares which have since vested. Shares issued to our
officers and employees vest over a three-year period from the date of the grant based on continued
employment. We measure compensation expense for the restricted stock awards based upon the fair
market value of our common stock at the date of grant. Compensation expense is recognized on a
straight-line basis over the vesting period and is included in corporate expenses in the
accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.
A summary of our restricted stock awards from January 1, 2009 to June 19, 2009 is as follows:

The remaining share awards are expected to vest as follows: 62,748 shares during 2009, 631,082
shares during 2010, 779,448 shares during 2011 and 505,317 during 2012. As of June 19, 2009, the
unrecognized compensation cost related to restricted stock awards was $7.5 million and the
weighted-average period over which the unrecognized compensation expense will be recorded is
approximately 26 months. For the fiscal quarters ended June 19, 2009 and June 13, 2008, we
recorded $1.2 million and $0.7 million, respectively, of compensation expense related to restricted
stock awards. For the periods from January 1, 2009 to June 19, 2009 and January 1, 2008 to June
13, 2008, we recorded $2.2 million and $1.4 million, respectively, of compensation expense related
to restricted stock awards.
Deferred Stock Awards
At the time of our initial public offering, we made a commitment to issue 382,500 shares of
deferred stock units to our senior executive officers. These deferred stock units are fully vested
and represent the promise to issue a number of shares of our common stock to each senior executive
officer upon the earlier of (i) a change of control or (ii) five years after the date of grant,
which was the initial public offering completion date (the Deferral Period). However, if an
executives service with the Company is terminated for cause prior to the expiration of the
Deferral Period, all deferred stock unit awards will be forfeited. The executive officers are
restricted from transferring these shares until the fifth anniversary of the initial public
offering completion date. As of June 19, 2009, we have a commitment to issue 466,819 shares under
this plan. The share commitment increased from 382,500 to 466,819 since our initial public
offering because current dividends are not
paid out but instead are effectively reinvested in additional deferred stock units based on
the closing price of our common stock on the dividend payment date.
- 7 -
Stock Appreciation Rights and Dividend Equivalent Rights
In 2008, we awarded our executive officers stock-settled stock appreciation rights (SARs)
and dividend equivalent rights (DERs). The SARs/DERs vest over three years based on continued
employment and may be exercised, in whole or in part, at any time after the instrument vests and
before the tenth anniversary of issuance. As of June 19, 2009, we have awarded 300,225 SARs/DERs
to our executive officers with an aggregate grant date fair value of approximately $2.0 million.
For the fiscal quarters ended June 19, 2009 and June 13, 2008, we recorded approximately $0.2
million and $0.1 million, respectively, of compensation expense related to the SARs/DERs. For the
periods from January 1, 2009 to June 19, 2009 and January 1, 2008 to June 13, 2008, we recorded
approximately $0.3 million and $0.2 million, respectively, of compensation expense related to the
SARs/DERs. A summary of our SARs/DERs as of June 19, 2009 is as follows:

One-third of the SAR/DER awards vested in 2009 and the remainder are expected to vest as
follows: one-third in 2010 and one-third in 2011. As of June 19, 2009, the unrecognized
compensation cost related to the SAR/DER awards was $1.1 million and the weighted-average period
over which the unrecognized compensation expense will be recorded is approximately 23 months.
6. Earnings (Loss) Per Share
Basic
earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) available to
common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares
outstanding. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net (loss) income available to common stockholders, that
has been adjusted for dilutive securities, by the weighted-average number of common shares
outstanding including dilutive securities. No effect is shown for our restricted stock and SARs
when the impact is anti-dilutive.
The following is a reconciliation of the calculation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per
share (in thousands, except share and per share data):

7. Debt
We have incurred limited recourse, property specific mortgage debt in conjunction with certain
of our hotels. In the event of default, the lender may only foreclose on the pledged assets;
however, in the event of fraud, misapplication of funds and other customary recourse provisions,
the lender may seek payment from us. As of June 19, 2009, 12 of our 20 hotel properties were
secured by mortgage debt. Our mortgage debt contains certain property specific covenants and
restrictions, including minimum debt service coverage ratios that trigger cash management
provisions as well as restrictions on incurring additional debt without lender consent. As of June
19, 2009, we were in compliance with the financial covenants of our mortgage debt.

The mortgage debt on the Courtyard Manhattan/Midtown East matures on December 11, 2009. We
have signed a term sheet with Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company (MassMutual) to provide
a new $43 million of non-recourse mortgage loan on the Courtyard Manhattan/Midtown East bearing an
interest rate of 8.8% and a term of five years. We have provided $1.2 million of refundable
deposits to MassMutual, but the closing of the loan is subject to numerous closing conditions,
including a material adverse change clause.
We are party to a four-year, $200.0 million unsecured credit facility (the Facility)
expiring in February 2011. We may extend the maturity date of the Facility for an additional year
upon the payment of applicable fees and the satisfaction of certain other customary conditions. As
of June 19, 2009, we did not have an outstanding balance on the Facility.
- 9 -
Interest is paid on the periodic advances under the Facility at varying rates, based upon
either LIBOR or the alternate base rate, plus an agreed upon additional margin amount. The interest
rate depends upon our level of outstanding indebtedness in relation to the value of our assets from
time to time, as follows:

|
Tangible net worth is defined as the gross book value of our real estate assets and other corporate assets less our total debt and all other corporate liabilities. |
The Facility requires that we maintain a specific pool of unencumbered borrowing base
properties. The unencumbered borrowing base assets are subject to the following limitations and

In addition to the interest payable on amounts outstanding under the Facility, we are required
to pay unused credit facility fees equal to 0.20% of the unused portion of the Facility if the unused portion of the
Facility is greater than 50% or 0.125% of the unused portion of the
Facility if the unused portion of the Facility is less than 50%. We
incurred interest and unused credit facility fees on the Facility of $0.1 million and $0.4 million
for the fiscal quarters ended June 19, 2009 and June 13, 2008, respectively, and $0.4 million and
$0.6 million for the periods from January 1, 2009 to June 19, 2009 and January 1, 2008 to June 13,

Overview
We are a lodging-focused real estate company that owns, as of July 28, 2009, 20 premium hotels
and resorts that contain approximately 9,600 guestrooms. We are committed to maximizing stockholder
value through investing in premium full-service hotels and, to a lesser extent, premium urban
limited-service hotels located throughout the United States. Our hotels are concentrated in key
gateway cities and in destination resort locations and are all operated under a brand owned by one
of the top three lodging national brand companies (Marriott, Starwood
or Hilton).
We are owners, as opposed to operators, of hotels. As an owner, we receive all of the
operating profits or losses generated by our hotels, after we pay the hotel managers fees, which
are based on the revenues and profitability of the hotels, and reimburse all of their direct and
indirect operating costs.
As
an owner, we believe we create value by acquiring the right hotels with the right brands in the right
markets, prudently financing our hotels, thoughtfully re-investing capital in our hotels,
implementing profitable operating strategies, approving the annual operating and capital budgets
for our hotels, and deciding if and when to sell
our hotels. In addition, we are committed to enhancing the value of our operating platform by being
open and transparent in our communications with investors, monitoring our corporate overhead and
following corporate governance best practice.
We differentiate ourselves from our competitors because of our adherence to three basic
principles:
|
|
|
high-quality urban- and resort-focused branded real estate; |
|
|
|
conservative capital structure; and |
|
|
|
thoughtful asset management. |
High-Quality Urban- and Resort-Focused Branded Real Estate
We own 20 premium hotels and resorts in North America. These hotels and resorts are primarily
categorized as upper upscale as defined by Smith Travel Research and are generally located in high
barrier to entry markets with multiple demand generators.
Our properties are concentrated in five key gateway cities (New York City, Los Angeles,
Chicago, Boston and Atlanta) and in destination resort locations (such as the U.S. Virgin Islands
and Vail, Colorado). We believe that gateway cities and destination resorts will achieve higher
long-term growth because they are attractive business and leisure destinations. We also believe
that these locations are better insulated from new supply due to relatively high barriers to entry
and expensive construction costs.
We believe that higher quality lodging assets create more dynamic cash flow growth and
superior long-term capital appreciation.
- 11 -
In addition, a core tenet of our strategy is to leverage national hotel brands. We
strongly believe in the value of powerful national brands because we believe that they are able to
produce incremental revenue and profits compared to similar unbranded hotels. In particular, we
believe that branded hotels outperform unbranded hotels in an economic downturn. Dominant national
hotel brands typically have very strong reservation and reward systems and sales organizations, and
all of our hotels are operated under a brand owned by one of the top three national brand companies
(Marriott, Starwood or Hilton) and all but two of our hotels are managed by the brand company
directly. Generally, we are interested in owning hotels that are operated under a
nationally recognized brand or acquiring hotels that can be converted into a nationally branded
hotel.
Capital Structure
Since our formation in 2004, we have been consistently committed to a flexible capital
structure with prudent leverage levels. During 2004 though early 2007, we took advantage of the low
interest rate environment by fixing our interest rates for an extended period of time. Moreover,
during the peak in the commercial real estate market in the past
several years, we maintained low financial leverage
by funding the majority of our acquisitions through the issuance of equity. This strategy allowed
us to maintain a balance sheet with a moderate amount of debt. During the peak years, we believed,
and present events have confirmed, that it would be inappropriate to increase the inherent risk of
a highly cyclical business through a highly levered capital structure.
We believe the current economic environment has confirmed the merits of our financing
strategy. We believe that we maintain a reasonable amount of fixed interest rate mortgage debt with
few near-term maturities. As of June 19, 2009, we had $819.4 million of mortgage debt outstanding.
We currently have eight hotels, with an aggregate historic cost of $792.1 million, which are
unencumbered by mortgage debt. As of June 19, 2009, our debt had a weighted-average interest rate
of 5.62% and a weighted-average maturity date of 6.12 years. In addition, as of June 19, 2009,
99.4% of our debt was fixed rate.
We prefer a relatively simple but efficient capital structure. We have not invested in joint
ventures and have not issued any operating partnership units or preferred stock. We endeavor to
structure our hotel acquisitions so that they will not overly complicate our capital structure;
however, we will consider a more complex transaction if we believe that the projected returns to
our stockholders will significantly exceed the returns that would otherwise be available.
We have always strived to operate our business with conservative leverage. During the current
recession, our corporate goals and objectives continue to be focused on preserving and enhancing
our liquidity. We have taken, or intend to take, a number of steps to achieve these goals, as
follows:
|
|
|
We completed a follow-on public offering of our common stock on during the second
quarter. We sold 17,825,000 shares of common stock, including the underwriters
overallotment of 2,325,000 shares, at an offering price of $4.85 per share. The net
proceeds to us, after deduction of offering costs, were approximately $82.1 million. In
addition, our Board of Directors recently authorized us to sell up to $75 million of common
stock. |
|
|
|
We repaid the $52 million outstanding on our senior unsecured credit facility during the
second quarter with a portion of the proceeds from our follow-on offering. |
|
|
|
We intend to pay our next dividend to our stockholders of record as of December 31, 2009.
We expect the 2009 dividend will be in an amount equal to 100% of our 2009 taxable income.
We may elect to pay up to 90 percent of our 2009 dividend in shares of our common stock, as
permitted by the Internal Revenue Services Revenue Procedure 2009-15. |
|
|
|
We have focused on minimizing capital spending during 2009 and expect to fund
approximately $10 million of 2009 capital expenditures from corporate cash. |
|
|
|
We explored the potential sale of certain hotels earlier in the year, but currently do
not have any hotels listed for sale with a broker. We will evaluate any unsolicited offers
received for any of our hotels. |
We have two near-term mortgage debt maturities totaling $68 million. The debt maturities
include $40.2 million coming due on the Courtyard Manhattan/Midtown East on December 11, 2009 and
$27.7 million coming due on the Griffin Gate Marriott in January 2010. The status of our efforts
to address our near-term debt maturities is as follows:
|
|
|
We have signed a term sheet with Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company
(MassMutual) to provide a new $43 million non-recourse mortgage loan on the Courtyard
Manhattan/Midtown East bearing an interest rate of 8.8% and a term of five years. The
closing of the loan is subject to numerous closing conditions, including a material adverse
change clause. |
|
|
|
We are currently assessing the best alternatives to address the Griffin Gate Marriott
mortgage debt maturity, including either refinancing the loan or
repaying the loan with
corporate cash. |
- 12 -
Thoughtful Asset Management
We believe that we are able to create significant value in our portfolio by utilizing our
managements extensive experience and our innovative asset management strategies. Our senior
management team has an established broad network of hotel industry contacts and relationships,
including relationships with hotel owners, financiers, operators, project managers and contractors
and other key industry participants.
In the current economic environment, we believe that our extensive lodging experience, our
network of industry relationships and our asset management strategies position us to
minimize the impact of declining revenues on our hotels. In particular, we are focused on
controlling our property-level and corporate expenses, as well as working closely with our managers
to optimize the mix of business at our hotels in order to maximize potential revenue. Our
property-level cost containment includes the implementation of aggressive contingency plans at each
of our hotels. The contingency plans include controlling labor expenses, eliminating hotel staff
positions, adjusting food and beverage outlet hours of operation and not filling open positions. In
addition, our strategy to significantly renovate many of the hotels in our portfolio from
2006 to 2008 resulted in the flexibility to significantly curtail our planned capital expenditures
for 2009 and 2010.
We
use our broad network of hotel industry contacts and relationships to maximize the value of our hotels. Under the regulations governing
REITs, we are required to engage a hotel manager that is an eligible independent contractor through
one of our subsidiaries to manage each of our hotels pursuant to a management agreement. Our
philosophy is to negotiate management agreements that give us the right to exert significant
influence over the management of our properties, annual budgets and all capital expenditures, and
then to use those rights to continually monitor and improve the performance of our properties. We
cooperatively partner with the managers of our hotels in an attempt to increase operating results
and long-term asset values at our hotels. In addition to working directly with the personnel at our
hotels, our senior management team also has long-standing professional relationships with our hotel
managers senior executives, and we work directly with these senior executives to improve the
performance of our portfolio.
We believe we can create significant value in our portfolio through innovative asset
management strategies such as rebranding, renovating and repositioning. We are committed to
regularly evaluating our portfolio to determine if we can employ these value-added strategies at
our hotels. From 2006 to 2008 we completed a significant amount of capital reinvestment in our
hotels completing projects that ranged from room renovations, to a total renovation and
repositioning of the hotel, to the addition of new meeting space, spa or restaurant repositioning.
In connection with our renovations and repositionings, our senior management team and our asset
managers are individually committed to completing these renovations on time, on budget and with
minimum disruption to our hotels. As we have significantly renovated
many of the hotels in
our portfolio, we chose to substantially reduce capital expenditures beginning in 2009.
Key Indicators of Financial Condition and Operating Performance
We use a variety of operating and other information to evaluate the financial condition and
operating performance of our business. These key indicators include financial information that is
prepared in accordance with GAAP, as well as other financial information that is not prepared in
accordance with GAAP. In addition, we use other information that may not be financial in nature,
including statistical information and comparative data. We use this information to measure the
performance of individual hotels, groups of hotels and/or our business as a whole. We periodically
compare historical information to our internal budgets as well as industry-wide information. These
key indicators include:
|
|
|
Average Daily Rate (or ADR); |
|
|
|
Revenue per Available Room (or RevPAR); |
|
|
|
Earnings Before Interest, Income Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (or EBITDA); and |
|
|
|
Funds From Operations (or FFO). |
Occupancy, ADR and RevPAR are commonly used measures within the hotel industry to evaluate
operating performance. RevPAR, which is calculated as the product of ADR and occupancy percentage,
is an important statistic for monitoring operating performance at the individual hotel level and
across our business as a whole. We evaluate individual hotel RevPAR performance on an absolute
basis with comparisons to budget and prior periods, as well as on a company-wide and regional
basis. ADR and RevPAR include only room revenue. Room revenue comprised approximately 63% of our
total revenues for the fiscal quarter ended June 19, 2009, and is dictated by demand, as measured
by occupancy percentage, pricing, as measured by ADR, and our available supply of hotel rooms.
- 13 -
Our ADR, occupancy percentage and RevPAR performance may be impacted by macroeconomic
factors such as regional and local employment growth, personal income and corporate earnings,
office vacancy rates and business relocation decisions, airport and other business and leisure
travel, new hotel construction and the pricing strategies of competitors. In addition, our ADR,
occupancy percentage and RevPAR performance is dependent on the continued success of Marriott and
its brands as well as the Westin and Conrad brands.
We also use EBITDA and FFO as measures of the financial performance of our business. See
Non-GAAP Financial Matters.
Outlook
The impact of the severe economic recession on U.S. travel fundamentals and our operating
results is likely to persist for some period of time. Lodging demand has historically correlated
with several key economic indicators such as GDP growth, employment trends, corporate profits,
consumer confidence and business investment. Although there have been recent signs that occupancy
in the industry may have stabilized, the average daily rate has continued to decline. We expect
lodging demand to follow its historical course and lag the general economic recovery by several
quarters and thus, we anticipate a challenging operating environment for the balance of 2009 and
into 2010.
New hotel supply remains a short-term negative and a long-term positive. Although the
industry benefited from supply growth less than historical averages from 2004 through 2007, new
hotel supply began to increase at the end of the last economic expansion. While some of those
projects have been delayed or eliminated, the rate of new supply is expected to peak in 2009 and
remain above historical averages in 2010. We have been or will be impacted by new supply in a few
of our markets, most notably Fort Worth, Texas during 2009 and Chicago and Austin in 2010. Due to
a number of factors, we expect below average supply growth for an extended period of time beginning
in 2011, when we expect minimal new supply to be a significant positive for operating fundamentals.

Hotel report operations on a calendar month and year basis. The fiscal quarters ended June
19, 2009 and June 13, 2008 include the operations for the period from March 1, 2009 to May

Our total revenues declined $37.4 million, or 20.7%, from $181.0 million for the fiscal
quarter ended June 13, 2008 to $143.6 million for the fiscal quarter ended June 19, 2009,
reflecting the continued weakness in lodging fundamentals. The decline reflects a 22.2 percent
decline in RevPAR, which is the result of a 14.6 percent decrease in ADR and a 6.7 percentage point
decrease in occupancy. The following are the key hotel operating statistics for our hotels for
the fiscal quarters ended June 19, 2009 and June 13, 2008, respectively.

Our RevPAR declined in the second quarter by 22.2%. Most of the decline in RevPAR can be
attributed to a significant decline in the average daily rate and reflects a number of negative
trends within our primary customer segments, including a change in the mix between those segments.
Our room revenue by primary customer segment in the second quarter was as follows:

Business Transient: Revenue from the business transient segment, traditionally
the most profitable segment for hotels, has declined more than any other customer segment.
Business transient revenue was partially replaced with lower-rated government, leisure and
contract business. We expect business transient demand trends to remain negative until
there is an improvement in the overall economic climate in the United States. |
|
|
|
Group: Groups have postponed, cancelled or reduced their meetings in response to
the current economic recession. The deterioration in revenue is primarily due to a decline
in group room nights and, to a much lesser extent, rate. Moreover, as there were fewer
cancellations in the second quarter compared to the first quarter, the deterioration in
group room nights appears to have been caused by a decline in short-term group pick-up. As
of the end of the second quarter, our group booking pace was 19% lower than at the same time
last year, which represents the continued deterioration of group booking trends during the
year. |
|
|
|
Leisure and Other: The decline in revenue from the leisure and other segment was
almost entirely driven by lower average daily rates. |
Food and beverage revenues decreased 19.5% from 2008, reflecting a decline in both banquet and
outlet revenues. Other revenues, which primarily represent spa, golf, parking and attrition and
cancellation fees, decreased 8.4% from 2008.
Hotel operating expenses. Hotel operating expenses consist primarily of operating expenses
of our hotels, including non-cash ground rent expense. The operating expenses for the fiscal
quarters ended June 19, 2009 and June 13, 2008, respectively, consist of the following (in
millions):

Our hotel operating expenses decreased $17.1 million or 13.6%, from $125.9 million for the
fiscal quarter ended June 13, 2008 to $108.8 million for the fiscal quarter ended June 19, 2009.
Due to the poor operating fundamentals at our hotels, we have worked with our hotel managers to
lower operating expenses. As a result of these cost-containment measures, and an overall decline
in occupancy, we have reduced the rooms, food and beverage and other hotel departmental expenses.
The primary driver for the decrease in these operating expenses is an overall decline in wages and
benefits. We expect the decreases in the rooms, food and beverage, and other hotel departmental
expenses to continue in 2009.
Management fees are calculated as a percentage of total revenues, as well as the level of
operating profit at certain hotels. Therefore, the decline in base management fees is due to the
overall decline in revenues at our hotels. We pay incentive management fees only at certain of our
hotels based on operating profits. The decrease in incentive management fees of approximately $1.8
million is due to the decline in operating profits at those hotels as well as fewer hotels earning
incentive management fees in 2009 compared to 2008.
Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization is recorded on our hotel
buildings over 40 years for the periods subsequent to acquisition. Depreciable lives of hotel
furniture, fixtures and equipment are estimated as the time period between the acquisition date and
the date that the hotel furniture, fixtures and equipment will be replaced. Our depreciation and
amortization expense increased $1.6 million from $18.1 million for the fiscal quarter ended June
13, 2008 to $19.7 million for the fiscal quarter ended June 19, 2009. This increase is primarily
the result of having additional assets in service as of June 19, 2009, due primarily to our
significant 2008 capital projects at the Chicago Marriott and the Westin Boston Waterfront.
Corporate expenses. Our corporate expenses increased from $3.3 million for the fiscal
quarter ended June 13, 2008 to $3.7 million for the fiscal quarter ended June 19, 2009, due
primarily to an increase in stock-based compensation expense. Corporate expenses principally
consist of employee-related costs, including base payroll, bonus and restricted stock. Corporate
expenses also include corporate operating costs, professional fees and directors fees.
Interest expense. Our interest expense decreased $0.3 million from $11.4 million for the
fiscal quarter ended June 13, 2008 to $11.1 million for the fiscal quarter ended June 19, 2009.
The decrease in interest expense is primarily attributable to the repayment of our credit facility
in April. The 2009 interest expense was comprised of mortgage debt ($10.8 million), amortization
of deferred financing costs ($0.2 million) and interest and unused facility fees on our credit
facility ($0.1 million). The 2008 interest expense is comprised of mortgage debt ($10.8 million),
amortization of deferred financing costs ($0.2 million) and interest and unused facility fees on
our credit facility ($0.4 million).
As of June 19, 2009, we had property-specific mortgage debt outstanding on twelve of our
hotels. On all but one of the hotels, we have fixed-rate secured debt, which bears interest at
rates ranging from 5.11% to 6.48% per year. Our weighted-average interest rate on all debt as of
June 19, 2009 was 5.62%.
Interest income. Interest income decreased $0.2 million from $0.3 million for the fiscal
quarter ended June 13, 2008 to $0.1 million for the fiscal quarter ended June 19, 2009. Although
our corporate cash balances are higher in 2009, the interest rates earned on corporate cash are
significantly lower.
Income taxes. We recorded an income tax benefit of $3.3 million for the fiscal quarter
ended June 19, 2009 and an income tax expense of $0.9 million for the fiscal quarter ended June 13,
2008. The second quarter 2009 income tax benefit was incurred on the $9.9 million pre-tax loss of
our taxable REIT subsidiary, or TRS, for the fiscal quarter ended June 19, 2009, together with
foreign income tax expense of $0.5 million related to the taxable REIT subsidiary that owns the
Frenchmans Reef & Morning Star Marriott Beach Resort. The second quarter 2008 income tax expense
was incurred on the $0.6 million pre-tax income of our TRS for the fiscal quarter ended June 13,
2008, together with foreign income tax expense of $0.5 million related to the taxable REIT
subsidiary that owns the Frenchmans Reef & Morning Star Marriott Beach Resort.

The Frenchmans Reef & Morning Star Marriott Beach Resort, Vail Marriott Mountain Resort
& Spa, Westin Atlanta North at Perimeter, Conrad Chicago and the Westin Boston Waterfront
Hotel report operations on a calendar month and year basis. The periods from January 1,
2009 to June 19, 2009 and January 1, 2008 to June 13, 2008 include the operations for the
period from January 1, 2009 to May 31, 2009 and January 1, 2008 to May 31, 2008,
respectively, for these five hotels. |
Our total revenues declined $51.7 million, or 16.5%, from $313.9 million for the period
from January 1, 2008 to June 13, 2008 to $262.2 million for the period from January 1, 2009 to June
19, 2009, reflecting the continued weakness in lodging fundamentals. The decline reflects a 19.9
percent decline in RevPAR, which is the result of a 12.8 percent decrease in ADR and a 5.9
percentage point decrease in occupancy. In addition, the operations for the first half of 2009 of
our Marriott-managed hotels include five additional days as compared to the comparable period of
2008. The following are the key hotel operating statistics for our hotels for the periods from
January 1, 2009 to June 19, 2009 and January 1, 2008 to June 13, 2008, respectively.

Our hotel operating expenses decreased $22.7 million or 10.0%, from $227.4 million for the
period from January 1, 2008 to June 13, 2008 to $204.7 million for the period from January 1, 2009
to June 19, 2009. Due to the decreased occupancy levels at our hotels, we have worked with our
hotel managers to lower operating expenses. As a result of these cost-containment measures, and an
overall decline in occupancy, we have reduced the rooms, food and beverage and other hotel
departmental expenses. The primary driver for the decrease in these operating expenses is an
overall decline in wages and benefits. We expect the decreases in the rooms, food and beverage,
and other hotel departmental expenses to continue in 2009.
Management fees are calculated as a percentage of total revenues, as well as the level of
operating profit at certain hotels. Therefore, the decline in base management fees is due to the
overall decline in revenues at our hotels. We pay incentive management fees only at certain of our
hotels based on operating profits. The decrease in incentive management fees of approximately $3.0
million is due to the decline in operating profits at those hotels, as well as fewer hotels earning
incentive management fees in 2008.
Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization is recorded on our hotel
buildings over 40 years for the periods subsequent to acquisition. Depreciable lives of hotel
furniture, fixtures and equipment are estimated as the time period between the acquisition date and
the date that the hotel furniture, fixtures and equipment will be replaced. Our depreciation and
amortization expense increased $3.6 million from $34.8 million for the period from January 1, 2008
to June 13, 2008 to $38.4 million for the period from January 1, 2009 to June 19, 2009. This
increase is primarily the result of having additional assets in service as of June 19, 2009, due
primarily to our significant 2008 capital projects at the Chicago Marriott and the Westin Boston
Waterfront.
Corporate expenses. Our corporate expenses increased from $6.3 million for the period from
January 1, 2008 to June 13, 2008 to $7.4 million for the period from January 1, 2009 to June 19,
2009, due primarily to an increase in stock-based compensation expense. Corporate expenses
principally consist of employee-related costs, including base payroll, bonus and restricted stock.
Corporate expenses also include corporate operating costs, professional fees and directors fees.
Interest expense. Our interest expense increased $0.5 million from $22.1 million for the
period from January 1, 2008 to June 13, 2008 to $22.6 million for the period from January 1, 2009
to June 19, 2009. The increase in interest expense is primarily attributable to the period from
January 1, 2009 to June 19, 2009 having five additional days of interest expense compared to the
period from January 1, 2008 to June 13, 2008 as well as lower interest expense on our credit
facility in 2009 and higher capitalized interest recorded for the period from January 1, 2008 to
June 13, 2008. The 2009 interest expense was comprised of mortgage debt ($21.8 million),
amortization of deferred financing costs ($0.4 million) and interest and unused facility fees on
our credit facility ($0.4 million). The 2008 interest expense is comprised of mortgage debt ($21.1
million), amortization of deferred financing costs ($0.4 million) and interest and unused
facility fees on our credit facility ($0.6 million).

As of June 19, 2009, we had property-specific mortgage debt outstanding on twelve of our
hotels. On all but one of the hotels, we have fixed-rate secured debt, which bears interest at
rates ranging from 5.11% to 6.48% per year. Our weighted-average interest rate on all debt as of
June 19, 2009 was 5.62%.
Interest income. Interest income decreased $0.6 million from $0.8 million for the period from
January 1, 2008 to June 13, 2008 to $0.2 million for the period from January 1, 2009 to June 19,
2009 due to lower interest rates in 2009. Although our corporate cash balances are higher in 2009,
the interest rates earned on corporate cash are approaching zero.
Income taxes. We recorded an income tax benefit of $9.3 million and $2.8 million for the
periods from January 1, 2009 to June 19, 2009 and January 1, 2008 to June 13, 2008, respectively.
The 2009 income tax benefit was incurred on the $25.6 million pre-tax loss of our taxable REIT
subsidiary, or TRS, for the period from January 1, 2009 to June 19, 2009, together with foreign
income tax expense of $0.7 million related to the taxable REIT subsidiary that owns the Frenchmans
Reef & Morning Star Marriott Beach Resort. The 2008 income tax expense was incurred on the $9.9
million pre-tax loss of our TRS for the period from January 1, 2008 to June 13, 2008, together with
foreign income tax expense of $0.9 million related to the taxable REIT subsidiary that owns the
Frenchmans Reef & Morning Star Marriott Beach Resort.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The current recession and related financial crisis has resulted in the continued deleveraging
of the global financial system. As banks and other financial intermediaries reduce their leverage
and incur losses on their existing portfolio of loans, the amount of capital that they are able to
lend has materially decreased. As a result, it is a very difficult borrowing environment for all
borrowers, even those that have strong balance sheets. While we have low leverage and a significant
number of high quality unencumbered assets, we are uncertain if we could currently obtain new debt,
or refinance existing debt, on reasonable terms or at all in the current market.
Our short-term liquidity requirements consist primarily of funds necessary to fund future
distributions to our stockholders to maintain our REIT status as well as to pay for operating
expenses and other expenditures directly associated with our hotels, including capital expenditures
as well as payments of interest and principal. We currently expect that our operating cash flows
will be sufficient to meet our short-term liquidity requirements generally through net cash
provided by operations, existing cash balances and, if necessary, short-term borrowings under our
credit facility.
Our long-term liquidity requirements consist primarily of funds necessary to pay for the costs
of acquiring additional hotels, renovations, expansions and other capital expenditures that need to
be made periodically to our hotels, scheduled debt payments and making distributions to our
stockholders. We expect to meet our long-term liquidity requirements through various sources of
capital, cash provided by operations and borrowings, as well as through our issuances of additional
equity or debt securities. Our ability to incur additional debt is dependent upon a number of
factors, including the current state of the overall credit markets, our degree of leverage, the
value of our unencumbered assets and borrowing restrictions imposed by existing lenders. Our
ability to raise additional equity is also dependent on a number of factors including the current
state of the capital markets, investor sentiment and use of proceeds.
Our Financing Strategy
Since our formation in 2004, we have been consistently committed to a flexible capital
structure with prudent leverage levels. During 2004 though early 2007, we took advantage of the low
interest rate environment by fixing our interest rates for an extended period of time. Moreover,
during the peak in the commercial real estate market in the
past several years, we maintained low financial leverage
by funding the majority of our acquisitions through the issuance of equity. This strategy allowed
us to maintain a balance sheet with a moderate amount of debt. During the peak years, we believed,
and present events have confirmed, that it would be inappropriate to increase the inherent risk of
a highly cyclical business through a highly levered capital structure.
We believe the current economic environment has confirmed the merits of our financing
strategy. We believe that we maintain a reasonable amount of fixed interest rate mortgage debt with
few near-term maturities. As of June 19, 2009, we had $819.4 million of mortgage debt outstanding.
We currently have eight hotels, with an aggregate historic cost of $792.1 million, which are
unencumbered by mortgage debt. As of June 19, 2009, our debt had a weighted-average interest rate
of 5.62% and a weighted-average maturity date of 6.12 years. In addition, as of June 19, 2009,
99.4% of our debt was fixed rate.
We prefer a relatively simple but efficient capital structure. We have not invested in joint
ventures and have not issued any operating partnership units or preferred stock. We endeavor to
structure our hotel acquisitions so that they will not
overly complicate our capital structure; however, we will consider a more complex transaction
if we believe that the projected returns to our stockholders will significantly exceed the returns
that would otherwise be available.

We have always strived to operate our business with conservative leverage. During the current
recession, our corporate goals and objectives continue to be focused on preserving and enhancing
our liquidity. We have taken, or intend to take, a number of steps to achieve these goals, as
follows:
|
|
|
We completed a follow-on public offering of our common stock during the second quarter.
We sold 17,825,000 shares of common stock, including the underwriters overallotment of
2,325,000 shares, at an offering price of $4.85 per share. The net proceeds to us, after
deduction of offering costs, were approximately $82.1 million. In addition, our Board of
Directors recently authorized us to sell up to $75 million of common stock. |
|
|
|
We repaid the $52 million outstanding on our senior unsecured credit facility during the
second quarter with a portion of the proceeds from our follow-on offering. |
|
|
|
We intend to pay our next dividend to our stockholders of record as of December 31, 2009.
We expect the 2009 dividend will be in an amount equal to 100% of our 2009 taxable income.
We may elect to pay up to 90 percent of our 2009 dividend in shares of our common stock, as
permitted by the Internal Revenue Services Revenue Procedure 2009-15. |
|
|
|
We have focused on minimizing capital spending during 2009 and expect to fund
approximately $10 million of 2009 capital expenditures from corporate cash. |
|
|
|
We explored the potential sale of certain hotels earlier in the year, but currently do
not have any hotels listed for sale with a broker. We will evaluate any unsolicited offers
received for any of our hotels. |
We have two near-term mortgage debt maturities totaling $68 million. The debt maturities
include $40.2 million coming due on the Courtyard Manhattan/Midtown East on December 11, 2009 and
$27.7 million coming due on the Griffin Gate Marriott in January 2010. The status of our efforts
to address our near-term debt maturities is as follows:
|
|
|
We have signed a term sheet with MassMutual to provide a new $43 million non-recourse mortgage loan on the Courtyard
Manhattan/Midtown East bearing an interest rate of 8.8% and a term of five years. The
closing of the loan is subject to numerous closing conditions, including a material adverse
change clause. |
|
|
|
We are currently assessing the best alternatives to address the Griffin Gate Marriott
mortgage debt maturity, including either refinancing the loan or repaying loan with
corporate cash. |
Credit Facility
We are party to a four-year, $200.0 million unsecured credit facility (the Facility)
expiring in February 2011. We may extend the maturity date of the Facility for an additional year
upon the payment of applicable fees and the satisfaction of certain other customary conditions. On
April 17, 2009, we repaid the outstanding balance of $52.0 million under the Facility with a
portion of the proceeds from our follow-on public offering of common stock.
Interest is paid on the periodic advances under the Facility at varying rates, based upon
either LIBOR or the alternate base rate, plus an agreed upon additional margin amount. The interest
rate depends upon our level of outstanding indebtedness in relation to the value of our assets from
time to time, as follows:

Maximum leverage ratio is determined by dividing the total debt outstanding
by the net asset value of our corporate assets and hotels. Hotel level net
asset values are calculated based on the application of a contractual
capitalization rate (which range from 7.5% to 8.0%) to the trailing twelve
month hotel net operating income. |
|

|
Minimum fixed charge ratio is calculated based on the trailing four quarters. |

|
Tangible net worth is defined as the gross book value of our real estate
assets and other corporate assets less our total debt and all other corporate
liabilities. |
Our Facility requires that we maintain a specific pool of unencumbered borrowing base
properties. The unencumbered borrowing base assets are subject to the following limitations and
covenants:

If we were to default under any of the above covenants, we would be obligated to repay all
amounts outstanding under our Facility and our Facility would terminate. Our ability to comply with
two most restrictive financial covenants, the maximum leverage ratio and the fixed charge coverage
ratio, depend primarily on our EBITDA. The following table shows the impact of various hypothetical
scenarios on those two covenants.

In addition to the interest payable on amounts outstanding under the Facility, we are required
to pay unused credit facility fees equal to 0.20% of the unused portion of the Facility if the unused portion of the
Facility is greater than 50% or 0.125% of the unused portion of the
Facility if the unused portion of the Facility is less than 50%. We
incurred interest and unused credit facility fees on the Facility of $0.1 million and $0.4 million
for the fiscal quarters ended June 19, 2009 and June 13, 2008, respectively. We incurred interest
and unused credit facility fees on the Facility of $0.4 million and $0.6 million for the periods
from January 1, 2009 to June 19, 2009 and January 1, 2008 to June 13, 2008, respectively. As of
June 19, 2009, we did not have an outstanding balance on the Facility.
Sources and Uses of Cash
Our principal sources of cash are net cash flow from hotel operations, borrowing under
mortgage debt, draws on the Facility and the proceeds from our equity offerings. Our principal uses
of cash are debt service, asset acquisitions, capital expenditures, operating costs, corporate
expenses and dividends.
Cash Provided by Operating Activities. Our cash provided by operating activities was $30.3
million for the period from January 1, 2009 to June 19, 2009, which is the result of our $2.8
million net loss adjusted for the impact of several non-cash charges, including $38.4 million of
depreciation, $3.6 million of non-cash straight line ground rent, $0.4 million of amortization of
deferred financing costs, $1.3 million of an impairment loss, and $2.5 million of stock
compensation, offset by $0.8 million of amortization of unfavorable agreements, $0.3 million of
amortization of deferred income and unfavorable working capital changes of $12.1 million.
Our cash provided by operating activities was $48.0 million for the period from January 1,
2008 to June 13, 2008, which is the result of our $26.9 million net income adjusted for the impact
of several non-cash charges, including $34.8 million of depreciation, $3.6 million of non-cash
straight line ground rent, $0.4 million of amortization of deferred financing costs, $0.8 million
of yield support received and $1.6 million of stock compensation, offset by $0.8 million of
amortization of unfavorable agreements, $0.3 million of amortization of deferred income and
unfavorable working capital changes of $19.0 million.
Cash Used In Investing Activities. Our cash used in investing activities was $14.2 million
for the period from January 1, 2009 to June 19, 2009. During the period from January 1, 2009 to
June 19, 2009, we incurred capital expenditures at our hotels of $13.3 million and a decrease in
restricted cash of $1.0 million.
- 22 -
Our cash used in investing activities was $33.6 million for the period from January 1, 2008 to
June 13, 2008. During the period from January 1, 2008 to June 13, 2008, we incurred capital
expenditures at our hotels of $36.8 million and a decrease in restricted cash of $1.8 million,
which was offset by the receipt of $5.0 million of key money related to the Chicago Marriott
Downtown.
Cash Provided by Financing Activities. Our cash provided by financing activities was $21.7
million for the period from January 1, 2009 to June 19, 2009 consisted of $2.0 million of scheduled
debt principal payments, $0.2 million of share repurchases, $57.0 million in repayments of our
credit facility, $0.4 million of costs related to the sale of common stock, $1.2 million of
deposits for the Courtyard Midtown refinancing, and $0.1 million of vested dividend payments to
SAR/DER holders, offset by $82.6 million in proceeds from the sale of common stock.
Our cash used in financing activities was $19.2 million for the period from January 1, 2008 to
June 13, 2008 consisted of $1.4 million of scheduled debt principal payments, $3.2 million of share
repurchases, and $46.6 million of dividend payments offset by $32.0 million in net draws under our
credit facility.
Dividend Policy
We intend to distribute to our stockholders dividends equal to our REIT taxable income so as
to avoid paying corporate income tax and excise tax on our earnings (other than the earnings of our
TRS and TRS lessees, which are all subject to tax at regular corporate rates) and to qualify for
the tax benefits afforded to REITs under the Code. In order to qualify as a REIT under the Code, we
generally must make distributions to our stockholders each year in an amount equal to at least:
|
|
|
90% of our REIT taxable income determined without regard to the dividends paid deduction,
plus |
|
|
|
90% of the excess of our net income from foreclosure property over the tax imposed on
such income by the Code, minus |
|
|
|
any excess non-cash income. |
We intend to issue our next dividend to our stockholders of record as of December 31, 2009. We
expect the 2009 dividend will be an amount equal to 100% of our 2009 taxable income. Depending on
our 2009 liquidity needs, we may elect to pay a portion of our 2009 dividend in shares of our
common stock, as permitted by the Internal Revenue Services Revenue Procedure 2009-15.
Capital Expenditures
The management and franchise agreements for each of our hotels provide for the establishment
of separate property improvement funds to cover, among other things, the cost of replacing and
repairing furniture and fixtures at our hotels. Contributions to the property improvement fund are
calculated as a percentage of hotel revenues. In addition, we may be required to pay for the cost
of certain additional improvements that are not permitted to be funded from the property
improvement fund under the applicable management or franchise agreement. As of June 19, 2009, we
have set aside $27.5 million for capital projects in property improvement funds. Funds held in
property improvement funds for one hotel are typically not permitted to be applied to any other
property.
Although we have significantly curtailed the capital expenditures at our hotels, we continue
to benefit from the extensive capital investments made from 2006 to 2008, during which time many of
our hotels were fully renovated. In 2009, we have focused our capital
expenditures primarily on life safety, capital preservation, and return-on-investment projects. The total budget in 2009 for
capital improvements is $35 million, only $10 million of which is expected to be funded from
corporate cash and the balance to be funded from hotel escrow reserves. We spent approximately
$13.3 million on capital improvements during the period from January 1, 2009 through June 19, 2009,
of which approximately $3.7 million was funded from corporate cash.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current
or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses,
results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to
investors.
- 23 -
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We use the following two non-GAAP financial measures that we believe are useful to investors
as key measures of our operating performance: (1) EBITDA and (2) FFO. These measures should not be
considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance in accordance with GAAP.
EBITDA represents net (loss) income excluding: (1) interest expense; (2) provision for income
taxes, including income taxes applicable to sale of assets; and (3) depreciation and amortization.
We believe EBITDA is useful to an investor in evaluating our operating performance because it 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. In addition, covenants included in our
indebtedness use EBITDA as a measure of financial compliance. We also use EBITDA as one measure in
determining the value of hotel acquisitions and dispositions.

We compute FFO in accordance with standards established by the National Association of Real
Estate Investment Trusts, which defines FFO as net (loss) income (determined in accordance with
GAAP), excluding gains (losses) from sales of property, plus depreciation and amortization. We
believe that the presentation of FFO provides useful information to investors regarding our
operating performance because it is a measure of our operations without regard to specified
non-cash items, such as real estate depreciation and amortization and gain or loss on sale of
assets. We also use FFO as one measure in assessing our results.

Critical Accounting Policies
Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the DiamondRock Hospitality
Company and all consolidated subsidiaries. The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities at the date of our
financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
While we do not believe the reported amounts would be materially different, application of these
policies involves the exercise of judgment and the use of assumptions as to future uncertainties
and, as a result, actual results could differ materially from these estimates. We evaluate our
estimates and judgments, including those related to the impairment of long-lived assets, on an
ongoing basis. We base our estimates on experience and on various other assumptions that are
believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. All of our significant accounting policies are
disclosed in the notes to our consolidated financial statements. The following represent certain
critical accounting policies that require us to exercise our business judgment or make significant
estimates:
Investment in Hotels. Acquired hotels, land improvements, building and furniture,
fixtures and equipment and identifiable intangible assets are initially recorded at fair value in
accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, Business Combinations.
Additions to property and equipment, including current buildings, improvements, furniture, fixtures
and equipment are recorded at cost. Property and equipment are depreciated using the straight-line
method over an estimated useful life of 15 to 40 years for buildings and land improvements and one
to ten years
for furniture and equipment. Identifiable intangible assets are typically related to
contracts, including ground lease agreements and hotel management agreements, which are recorded at
fair value. Above-market and below-market contract values are based on the present value of the
difference between contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the contracts acquired and our
estimate of the fair market contract rates for corresponding contracts. Contracts acquired that are
at market do not have significant value. We typically enter into a new hotel management agreement
based on market terms at the time of acquisition. Intangible assets are amortized using the
straight-line method over the remaining non-cancelable term of the related agreements. In making
estimates of fair values for purposes of allocating purchase price, we may utilize a number of
sources that may be obtained in connection with the acquisition or financing of a property and
other market data. Management also considers information obtained about each property as a result
of its pre-acquisition due diligence in estimating the fair value of the tangible and intangible
assets acquired.
- 24 -
We review our investments in hotels for impairment whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the investments in hotels may not be recoverable.
Events or circumstances that may cause us to perform a review include, but are not limited to,
adverse changes in the demand for lodging at our properties due to declining national or local
economic conditions and/or new hotel construction in markets where our hotels are located. When
such conditions exist, management performs an analysis to determine if the estimated undiscounted
future cash flows from operations and the proceeds from the ultimate disposition of an investment
in a hotel exceed the hotels carrying value. If the estimated undiscounted future cash flows are
less than the carrying amount of the asset, an adjustment to reduce the carrying value to the
estimated fair market value is recorded and an impairment loss recognized.
Revenue Recognition. Hotel revenues, including room, golf, food and beverage, and other
hotel revenues, are recognized as the related services are provided.
Stock-based
Compensation. We account for stock-based employee compensation
using the fair value based method of accounting described in Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 123 (revised 2004) (SFAS 123R),
Share-Based Payment. We record the cost
of awards with service conditions based on the grant-date fair value of the award. That cost is
recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for
the award. No compensation cost is recognized for equity instruments for which employees do not
render the requisite service. No awards with performance-based or market-based conditions have
been issued.
Income Taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated
future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying
amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and
liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary
differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and
liabilities from a change in tax rates is recognized in earnings in the period when the new rate is
enacted.
We have elected to be treated as a REIT under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and,
as such, are not subject to federal income tax, provided we distribute all of our taxable income
annually to our stockholders and comply with certain other requirements. In addition to paying
federal and state income tax on any retained income, we are subject to taxes on built-in-gains on
sales of certain assets. Additionally, our taxable REIT subsidiaries are subject to federal, state
and foreign income tax.
Inflation
Operators of hotels, in general, possess the ability to adjust room rates daily to reflect the
effects of inflation. However, competitive pressures may limit the ability of our management
companies to raise room rates.
Seasonality
The operations of hotels historically have been seasonal depending on location, and
accordingly, we expect some seasonality in our business. Historically, we have experienced
approximately two-thirds of our annual income in the second and fourth fiscal quarters.
New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Implemented
There are no new unimplemented accounting pronouncements that are expected to have a material
impact on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
|
|
Item 3. |
Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk |
Market risk includes risks that arise from changes in interest rates, foreign currency
exchange rates, commodity prices, equity prices and other market changes that affect market
sensitive instruments. In pursuing our business strategies, the primary market risk to which we
are currently exposed, and, to which we expect to be exposed in the future, is interest rate risk.
As of June 19, 2009, we were exposed to interest rate risk on
only $5.0 million of our debt, as the remaining 99.4% of our debt was fixed rate.
- 25 -
|
|
Item 4. |
Controls and Procedures |
The Companys management has evaluated, under the supervision and with the participation of
the Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of the
disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act)), as required by paragraph (b) of
Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, and has concluded that as of the end of the period
covered by this report, the Companys disclosure controls and procedures were effective to give
reasonable assurances that information we disclose in reports filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods
specified in the Securities and Exchange Commissions rules and forms.
There was no change in the Companys internal control over financial reporting identified in
connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the
Exchange Act during the Companys most recent fiscal quarter that materially affected, or is
reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys internal control over financial reporting.
