SILVER SPRING, MD. (February 10, 2009) – Choice Hotels International, Inc. (NYSE:CHH) today reported the following highlights for fourth quarter and full year 2008:

Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EPS for the year ended December 31, 2007 excludes special items totaling $4.3 million and $0.04 diluted EPS, respectively related to employee termination benefits. |
| | • | | Adjusted EPS for the three months ended December 31, 2008 were $0.41, compared to $0.44 for the same period of 2007. Diluted EPS for the three months ended December 31, 2008 were $0.30 compared to $0.44 for the same period of 2007. |

| | • | | Domestic unit and room growth increased 6.1 percent and 5.6 percent, respectively, for full year 2008. |
| | • | | Domestic system-wide revenue per available room (RevPAR) declined 1.8% for full year 2008 and 7.7% for fourth quarter 2008 compared to the same periods of 2007. The declines for full year and fourth |
quarter 2008 were primarily due to a 260 basis point and 500 basis point decline in occupancy, respectively, which was partially offset by increases in the average daily rate.
| | • | | The effective royalty rate increased 6 basis points to 4.20% for the full year 2008 compared to 4.14% for the same period of the prior year. |
| | • | | Franchising revenues and total revenues increased 2% and 4%, respectively for full year 2008 compared to the same period in 2007. Franchising revenues declined 8% and total revenues declined 9% for fourth quarter 2008 compared to the same period in 2007. |
| | • | | As a result of the current economic environment and credit market conditions, new domestic hotel franchise contracts for the three months ended December 31, 2008 declined 31% to 207 compared to 301 contracts executed in the same period of the prior year. Overall, new domestic hotel franchise contracts executed for full year 2008 declined 9% to 698 compared to 770 for full year 2007. |
| | • | | The number of domestic hotels under construction, awaiting conversion or approved for development declined 2% from December 31, 2007 to 987 hotels representing 78,915 rooms; the worldwide pipeline increased 1% from December 31, 2007 to 1,108 hotels representing 89,105 rooms. |
“While the last six months of 2008 represented a challenging time for the hotel industry, for the year, Choice Hotels was able to demonstrate strong domestic unit and room growth and increase its effective royalty rate, franchising revenues and total revenues,” said Stephen P. Joyce, president and chief executive officer. “While we do not see any immediate economic turnaround or increased liquidity in the credit markets, Choice is uniquely positioned for long-term growth in this climate. With our proven, fee-based business model and financial strength, we have historically been able to perform well in a wide range of industry and economic environments. We remain focused on taking advantage of our tremendous long-term growth prospects while at the same time returning excess cash flows to our investors by way of share repurchases and dividends.”
Outlook for 2009
The uncertainty around the current economic environment and credit market conditions and their impact on travel patterns and hotel development activities makes it difficult to predict future results, particularly as it relates to underlying assumptions for RevPAR, new hotel franchise and relicensing sales and interest and investment income and expense.
The company’s first quarter 2009 diluted EPS is expected to be $0.24. The company expects full year 2009 diluted EPS of $1.68. EBITDA for full-year 2009 are expected to be approximately $178 million. These estimates include the following assumptions:
| | • | | The company expects net domestic unit growth of approximately 3.0% in 2009; |
| | • | | RevPAR is expected to decline approximately 12% for first quarter 2009 and decline approximately 10% for full-year 2009; |
| | • | | The effective royalty rate is expected to increase 3 basis points for full-year 2009; |
| | • | | All figures assume the existing share count and an effective tax rate of 36.5% for first quarter 2009 and 36.5% for full year 2009. |
Use of Free Cash Flow
The company has consistently used its free cash flow (cash flow from operations less capital expenditures) to return value to shareholders, primarily through share repurchases and dividends.
For the year ended December 31, 2008 the company paid $43.1 million of cash dividends to shareholders. The current quarterly divided rate per common share is $0.185, subject to declaration by our board of directors.
During the fourth quarter of 2008, the company’s board of directors authorized an increase under the company’s existing stock repurchase program to acquire up to an additional five million shares of its outstanding common stock. For the year ended December 31, 2008, the company purchased approximately 2.2 million shares of its common stock at an average price of $24.56 for a total cost of $54.7 million. Subsequent to December 31, 2008 and through February 10, 2009, the Company repurchased 0.5 million shares at a total cost of $13.5 million at an average price of $26.97 per share. The company has authorization to purchase up to an additional 5.5 million shares under the share repurchase program. We expect to continue making repurchases in the open market and through privately negotiated transactions, subject to market and other conditions. No minimum number of share repurchases has been fixed. Since Choice announced its stock repurchase program on June 25, 1998, the company has repurchased 41.3 million shares of its common stock for a total cost of $964.1 million through February 10, 2009. Considering the effect of a two-for-one stock split in October 2005, the company has repurchased 74.3 million shares under the share repurchase program at an average price of $12.98 per share.
Our Board has authorized us to enter into programs which permit us to offer financing, investment and guaranty support to qualified franchisees to incent multi-unit franchise development in top markets. We expect to opportunistically deploy this capital over the next several years. Our annual investment in these programs is dependent on market and other conditions. In addition to these programs, the company expects to continue to return value to its shareholders through a combination of share repurchases and dividends, also subject to market and other conditions.

Forward-Looking Statements
Certain matters discussed in this press release constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities law. Generally, our use of words such as “expect,” “estimate,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “will,” “forecast,” “plan,” project,” “assume” or similar words of futurity identify statements that are forward-looking and that we intend to be included within the Safe Harbor protections provided by Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Such forward-looking statements are based on management’s current beliefs, assumptions and expectations regarding future events, which in turn are based on information currently available to management. Such statements may relate to projections of the company’s revenue, earnings and other financial and operational measures, company debt levels, payment of stock dividends, and future operations, among other matters. We caution you not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements do not guarantee future performance and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors.
Several factors could cause actual results, performance or achievements of the company to differ materially from those expressed in or contemplated by the forward-looking statements. Such risks include, but are not limited to, changes to general, domestic and foreign economic conditions; operating risks common in the lodging and franchising industries; changes to the desirability of our brands as viewed by hotel operators and customers; changes to the terms or termination of our contracts with franchisees; our ability to keep pace with improvements in technology utilized for reservations systems and other operating systems; fluctuations in the supply and demand for hotels rooms; and our ability to manage effectively our indebtedness. These and other risk factors are discussed in detail in the Risk Factors section of the company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 29, 2008. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
Statement Concerning Non-GAAP Financial Measurements
Adjusted diluted EPS, adjusted EBITDA, franchising revenues and adjusted franchising margins are non-GAAP financial measurements. 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 diluted earnings per share, operating income, total revenues and operating margins. The company’s calculation of these measurements may be different from the calculations used by other companies and therefore comparability may be limited. The company has included an exhibit accompanying this release that reconciles these measures to the comparable GAAP measurement. We discuss management’s reasons for reporting these non-GAAP measures below.
Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization: EBITDA reflects earnings excluding the impact of interest expense, tax expense, depreciation and amortization. Our management considers EBITDA to be an indicator of operating performance because it can be used to measure our ability to service debt, fund capital expenditures, and expand our business. EBITDA is a commonly used measure of performance in our industry. In addition, it is used by analysts, lenders, investors and others, as well as by us, to facilitate comparisons between the Company and its competitors because it excludes certain items that can vary widely across different industries or among companies within the same industry.
Franchising Revenues and Margins:The Company reports franchising revenues and margins which exclude marketing and reservations revenues and hotel operations. Marketing and reservation activities are excluded from revenues and operating margins since the Company is contractually required by its franchise agreements to use these fees collected for marketing and reservation activities. Cumulative reservation and marketing fees not expended are recorded as a payable on the Company’s financial statements and are carried over to the next fiscal year and expended in accordance with the franchise agreements. Cumulative marketing and reservation expenditures in excess of fees collected for marketing and reservation activities are recorded as a receivable on the Company’s financial statements. In addition, the Company has the contractual authority to require that the franchisees in the system at any given point repay the Company for any deficits related to marketing and reservation activities. Hotel operations are excluded since they do not reflect the most accurate measure of the
Company’s core franchising business. These non-GAAP measures are a commonly used measure of performance in our industry and facilitate comparisons between the Company and its competitors.
Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Franchising Margins and Adjusted Diluted EPS: The Company’s management also uses Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Franchising Margins and Adjusted Diluted EPS which exclude the impact of the acceleration of the Company’s management succession plan, employee termination benefits, and additional reserves recorded on impaired notes receivable in the year ended December 31, 2008 and the impact of termination benefits incurred in the year ended December 31, 2007. The Company utilizes these non-GAAP measures to enable investors to perform meaningful comparisons of past, present and future operating results and as a means to emphasize the results of on-going operations.
