Comparable operating results (as disclosed in the table by the same title) for the periods included in this release exclude from hotel operations the results of the hotels or operations that have been sold and/or discontinued. Throughout this release the company refers to certain non-GAAP financial measures, such as EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. Please refer to the tables attached to this release for a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable financial measure determined in accordance with GAAP.
“2014 was a transformative year for RLHC on every level,” said RLHC President and Chief Executive Officer Greg T. Mount. “We have completed several major steps in the transformation of our business from a capital intensive full asset ownership model to an asset-light suite of hospitality brands focused on managing our joint venture properties and on franchising hotels. At the same time, our new technology and marketing initiatives drove significant improvement in our operations and profitability, evidenced by four consecutive quarters of RevPAR and Adjusted EBITDA growth, as well as meaningful improvement in our bottom line performance.”
Mount concluded, “Due to the tremendous strides we have made, RLHC is uniquely positioned for growth. We were able to attract the support of major commercial real estate investment partners to complete a pivotal joint venture transaction in January. Coupled with the proceeds from the sale of non-core assets, we now have well over $60 million in dry powder to execute strategic growth. We will continue to invest in hotels alongside of our franchisees and through partial equity positions in joint ventures to further fuel our national expansion as we push toward our goal of growing to 100 hotels systemwide in 100 weeks. As we complete our transition to a hotel franchise, management and equity ownership company, we will continue to focus on improving the operations of our company operated and franchised
hotels and over time, reduce our equity ownership in real estate, which we believe will maximize value for our shareholders. We are off to a strong start in 2015 and look forward to continuing the momentum.”
Fourth Quarter 2014 Results
Comparable revenue from company operated hotels was $24.4 million, an increase of $1.7 million or 7.3 percent compared to the same period a year ago, generated primarily by an increase in RevPAR. Comparable fourth quarter RevPAR increased 9.5 percent to $49.85 driven by a 4.5 percent increase in ADR to $85.21 and a 260 basis point increase in occupancy. Comparable hotel direct operating margin increased to 12.9 percent from 9.4 percent primarily as a result of increased ADR and lower hotel operating expenses.
Franchise revenue was flat when compared to the fourth quarter of 2013. Net segment profits decreased $0.4 million over prior year due to the initial investment costs of the enhanced franchise development team.
Entertainment revenue increased by $0.5 million compared to the prior year period due to a higher number of show nights and level of ticket sales. Profitability improved by $0.3 million year-over-year due to the mix of shows.
Net loss in the fourth quarter of 2014 was $4.4 million compared to $14.0 million in the same period a year ago. The improvement is primarily due to a $7.8 million impairment charge taken in the fourth quarter of 2013, as well as improved profitability of the company’s hotel and entertainment operations. Net loss per share for the fourth quarter of 2014 was $0.22 versus a loss per share of $0.71 in 2013. After adjusting for special items, adjusted net loss per share for the fourth quarter 2014 was $0.19 versus an adjusted loss per share of $0.26 in 2013, reflecting the substantial improvement in operating results across the RLHC system.
Total company Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter increased $0.5 million compared to the prior year period primarily due to improved profitability of the company’s hotel operations.
Full Year 2014 Results
Comparable revenue from company operated hotels was $112.5 million, an increase of $6.9 million or 6.5 percent compared to the same period a year ago, generated primarily by a 6.9 percent increase in RevPAR. Year over year, the comparable RevPAR increase to $60.80 was generated by a 3.3 percent increase in ADR to $91.26, and a 220 basis point increase in occupancy. Comparable hotel direct operating margin increased 200 bps from to 21.3 percent from 19.3 percent primarily due to the improvement in ADR and lower operating expenses.
Franchise revenue increased by $2.5 million when compared to the prior year, primarily due to the $2.1 million early termination fee for the Seattle Fifth Avenue franchise location. Net segment profits increased $2.0 million over prior year.
Entertainment revenue increased by $7.7 million compared to the prior year due to a higher number of show nights and level of ticket sales. Profitability improved by $2.1 million year-over-year due to the mix and number of shows.
Net income in 2014 was $2.3 million compared to a net loss of $17.0 million in 2013. The improvement is primarily due to a $7.8 million impairment charge taken in the fourth quarter of 2013, as well as the early termination fee and improved profitability of the company’s hotel and entertainment operations. Before any adjustments for special items, earnings per share for 2014 was $0.12 versus a loss per share of $0.87 in 2013. After adjusting for special items, adjusted net loss per share for the full year 2014 was $0.13 versus adjusted net loss per share of $0.34 in 2013, reflecting the substantial improvement in operating results across the RLHC system.
Total company Adjusted EBITDA for the year increased $2.9 million, or 24 percent compared to the prior year. The increase is attributable to improved profitability of the company’s hotel and entertainment operations and the $2.1 million early termination fee for the Seattle Fifth Avenue franchise location.

The Missoula, Pendleton, Yakima, Kennewick, Kelso, Canyon Springs and Pocatello properties have been excluded from the company operated hotel statistics and included in the franchise statistics as we sold those previously owned properties during 2014 and 2013 and maintained franchise agreements on those properties.
|
| (2 | ) | Average occupancy represents total paid rooms divided by total available rooms. Total available rooms represents the number of rooms available multiplied by the number of days in the reported period and includes rooms taken out of service for renovation. |

Certain operating results for the periods included in this report are shown on a comparable hotel basis. Comparable hotels is defined as properties that are operated by the company and excludes the results of discontinued operations and sold properties. Discontinued operations include the following: a catering contract in Yakima, Washington that was terminated in first quarter 2013; a hotel in Medford, Oregon that was sold in third quarter 2013; and a hotel in Eugene, Oregon that ceased operations in first quarter 2014. Sold properties include the following: the Missoula property, which was sold in February 2013; the Pendleton property, which was sold in April 2013; the Yakima property, which was sold in April 2014; the Kelso and Kennewick properties, which were sold in May 2014; the Canyon Springs property, which was sold in June 2014; and the Pocatello property which was sold in October 2014.
We utilize these comparable measures because management finds them a useful tool to perform more meaningful comparisons of past, present and future operating results and as a means to evaluate the results of core, ongoing operations. We believe they are a complement to reported operating results. Comparable operating results are not intended to represent reported operating results defined by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"), and such information should not be considered as an alternative to reported information or any other measure of performance prescribed by GAAP.

EBITDA is defined as net income (loss), before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. We believe it is a useful financial performance measure due to the significance of our long-lived assets and level of indebtedness. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted net income (loss) are additional measures of financial performance. We believe that the inclusion or exclusion of certain special items, such as gains and losses on asset dispositions and impairments, is necessary to provide the most accurate measure of core operating results and as a means to evaluate comparative results. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted net income (loss) are commonly used measures of performance in the industry. We utilize these measures because management finds them a useful tool to perform more meaningful comparisons of past, present and future operating results and as a means to evaluate the results of core, ongoing operations. We believe they are a complement to reported operating results. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted net income (loss) are not intended to represent net income (loss) defined by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"), and such information should not be considered as an alternative to reported information or any other measure of performance prescribed by GAAP. In addition, other companies in our industry may calculate EBITDA and in particular Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted net income (loss) differently than we do or may not calculate them at all, limiting the usefulness of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted net income (loss) as comparative measures.
