“We continue to work closely with our franchisees to improve their unit profitability by driving incremental business to their hotels and providing them with targeted services and support to enhance property-level operating performance,” said Charles A. Ledsinger, Jr., vice chairman and chief executive officer. “At the same time, we are committed to continuously improving brand quality and consistency by working collaboratively with our franchisees so that we are positioned to gain market share. This operating philosophy has proven successful for Choice, as over the last five years, we have increased our domestic market share of branded hotels by 340 basis points to nearly 17% of the market, as measured by room supply in the midscale & economy segments.”
Items Affecting Comparability
Fourth Quarter 2006 Acquisition of Continental Europe Franchising Operations
During the fourth quarter of 2006, the company terminated the master franchising agreement covering continental Europe and acquired the direct franchising operations in this region from the former master franchisor. As a result of the acquisition, franchising revenues and selling, general and administrative costs for the three months ended June 30, 2007 increased approximately $1.1 million and $0.7 million, respectively, compared to second quarter 2006. Franchising revenues and selling, general and administrative costs for the six months ended June 30, 2007 increased approximately $1.8 million and $1.6 million, respectively, compared to the same period in 2006.
Outlook for 2007
The company’s third quarter 2007 diluted EPS is expected to be at least $0.52. The company expects full year 2007 diluted EPS of $1.62. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) for full-year 2007 is expected to be approximately $187.5 million. These estimates include the following assumptions.
| • | | The company expects net domestic unit growth of approximately 4% in 2007; |
| • | | RevPAR is expected to increase approximately 4.5% for third quarter 2007 and approximately 4% for full-year 2007; |
| • | | The effective royalty rate is expected to increase 3 basis points for full-year 2007; |
| • | | All figures assume the existing share count and an effective tax rate of 36.3% for third quarter 2007 and 36.5% for full year 2007; |
| • | | All figures assume approximately $3.7 million ($0.03 diluted EPS) of termination benefits expense resulting from the previously announced separations of certain executive officers. |
Use of Free Cash Flow
The company has consistently used its free cash flow (cash flow from operations less capital expenditures) generated from its operations to return value to shareholders, primarily through share repurchases and dividends.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, the company paid $9.9 million and $19.8 million, respectively, of cash dividends to shareholders. The annual dividend rate per common share is $0.60.
For the three months ended June 30, 2007, the company purchased approximately 0.7 million shares of its common stock at an average price of $38.72 for a total cost of $28.3 million under its share repurchase program.

Since Choice announced its stock repurchase program on June 25, 1998, the company has repurchased 34.8 million shares of its common stock for a total cost of $758 million through June 30, 2007.

Statement Concerning Non-GAAP Financial Measurements
Franchising revenues, franchising margins, and EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measurements. These financial measurements are presented as supplemental disclosures because they are used by management in reviewing and analyzing the company’s performance. This information should not be considered as an alternative to any measure of performance as promulgated under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP), such as total revenues, operating income, and operating margins.
