Exhibit 99.1
RFS REPORTS FIRST QUARTER RESULTS
Memphis, Tennessee, April 30, 2003 – RFS Hotel Investors, Inc. (NYSE: RFS) today announced its operating results for the quarter ended March 31, 2003.
Net loss to common shareholders for the first quarter 2003 was $1.7 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $8.3 million, or $0.32 per diluted share, for the first quarter 2002. Funds from operations (FFO) for the first quarter 2003 was $5.7 million, or $0.19 per share, compared to $(2.0) million, or $(0.07) per share, for the first quarter 2002.
Beginning January 1, 2003, for all periods presented, the Company calculates FFO in accordance with the definition of FFO per the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT). Previously, the Company adjusted FFO, as defined by NAREIT, for deferred revenue, deferred income taxes and other unusual and non-recurring transactions. As previously reported in the Company’s first quarter 2002 earnings press release, FFO and FFO per share, using the Company’s previous definition, were $7.8 million or $0.28 per share.
EBITDA declined 15.1% from $15.4 million for the first quarter 2002 to $13.0 million for the first quarter 2003. Approximately $0.8 million of the $2.4 million decline in EBITDA was attributable to three hotels that were undergoing substantial renovations. Exclusive of these three hotels, EBITDA declined 11.0% from $13.8 million in the first quarter of 2002, to $12.2 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2003.
Highlights
• Total hotel revenue declined 5.0% to $44.6 million for the quarter.
• Comparable hotel revenue per available room (RevPAR) declined 2.5% for the quarter. The following represents changes in RevPAR as compared to the prior year comparable period by market segment:
Full Service | | (2.5 | )% |
Extended Stay | | (2.7 | )% |
Limited Service | | (2.2 | )% |
Total | | (2.5 | )% |
• The hotels excluded in the comparable statistics above are the Residence Inns in Fishkill, NY and Sacramento, CA and the Hotel Rex in San Francisco, CA. Aggregate capital expenditures for these three hotel projects are approximately $5.8 million.
• The Company’s five comparable hotels in northern California (excludes the Hotel Rex in San Francisco) consisting of one in San Francisco and four in Silicon Valley, experienced an average decline in quarterly RevPAR of 9.0%. These five northern California hotels represented 14.4% of RFS’s earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) for the quarter.
• Exclusive of the five northern California hotels, comparable hotel RevPAR declined 1.0% for the quarter.
• Hotel operating margins (hotel EBITDA as a percentage of total revenue, excluding deferred revenue), declined 3.1 percentage points to 30.9% for the quarter.
• The Company realized an unleveraged return on investment of 8.1% on its hotel portfolio for the twelve months ending March 31, 2003. Based upon the Company’s approximate 37% leverage and average borrowing costs of 8.7%, the Company realized a leveraged return on investment of 7.8%.
Operating Results
Randy Churchey, president and chief operating officer, said, “The first quarter was very unusual in two respects. First, the war in Iraq started on March 19 following several weeks of military build up. Obviously, this served to reduce the level of economic activity generally and exacerbated already weak demand in the travel/hospitality sector. Second, we made a conscious decision to undertake a substantial portion of our 2003 capital expenditures in the first quarter. This impacted, in the short term, the operations of 10 hotels. For the past three quarters, occupancy has matched or slightly exceeded the prior year while average daily rates (ADR) have declined, resulting in small decreases in RevPAR and reduced operating margins. EBITDA at the three hotels which had a substantial number of rooms out of service declined by $0.8 million or 48.3% from the first quarter of 2002.”
Churchey went on to say, “As we have stated previously, our managers continue to focus on four things: increasing market penetration; controlling costs; satisfying our guests; and maintaining our hotels in superb physical condition. This is the best way to position the Company for the expected economic recovery.”
Capital
Kevin Luebbers, executive vice president and chief financial officer, stated, “Our credit statistics and balance sheet continue to be strong and compare favorably with other public hotel companies. This is evidenced by the following statistics:
2
• Operating cash flow (EBITDA less interest expense) of $37.5 million for the trailing twelve months ended March 31, 2003. This represents funds available for capital expenditures, debt reduction, and dividends.
• Total debt equal to 4.8 times trailing twelve months EBITDA, one of the least leveraged balance sheets in the industry.
• EBITDA for the trailing twelve months ended March 31, 2002, was 2.4 times the Company’s interest costs.
• No significant debt maturities until 2008.
Outlook and Dividends
Robert Solmson, chairman and chief executive officer, stated, “As we have stated previously, the Company’s earnings continue to be depressed well below historical levels. Despite the fact that our dividend payout (total dividends as a percentage of FFO) is above historical norms, our balance sheet continues to be strong and industry experts continue to forecast a near-term recovery. The fact that we have been very conservative in managing our balance sheet and circumspect in using shareholder capital for acquisitions or share repurchases has permitted RFS to continue paying a quarterly dividend.”
Solmson continued, “Our approach to the dividend has not changed. It is obviously difficult to project future earnings and cash flows. Booking cycles within the industry have shortened and geo-political events have created a cloud of uncertainty overhanging the United States and world economies. However, we continue to believe that the lodging industry, as well as the Company’s earnings, are at or near the bottom of a cyclical trough. Furthermore, we are heartened by the short war in Iraq. We are in the process of reforecasting the second quarter and the balance of the year. We will review these projections, and, as appropriate, will provide further guidance in the ensuing months.”

| | | | | |
EBITDA (2) | | $ | 13,032 | | $ | 15,350 | |
(1) Funds from operations (“FFO”) is defined by The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT) as net income (computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles or GAAP), excluding extraordinary items as defined by GAAP, and gains (or losses) from sales of depreciable operating property, plus real estate related depreciation and amortization and after comparable adjustments for the Company’s portion of these items related to unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. The Company recently adopted Regulation G, Disclosure of Non-GAAP Financial Measures, and beginning with this release, will report FFO in accordance with the NAREIT definition for all periods presented. Prior to adopting Regulation G, the Company made adjustments to FFO, as defined by NAREIT, for deferred revenue, deferred income taxes and other unusual and non-recurring transactions. Had the Company continued to report FFO as in prior years, FFO and FFO per share would have been $7,849 or $0.28 per share for the quarter ended March 31, 2002. FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income or loss, determined in accordance with GAAP, as an indication of the Company’s financial performance or to cash flow from operating activities, determined in accordance with GAAP, as a measure of the company’s liquidity or is it indicative of funds available to fund the Company’s cash needs, including the Company’s ability to make cash distributions. The Company’s method of calculating FFO may be different from the method used by other companies and therefore, comparability may be limited.
(2) EBITDA is computed by adding FFO, interest expense, amortization expense, benefit from income taxes, debt extinguishment and swap termination costs and deferred revenue. The Company uses EBITDA as a supplemental measure of performance because the Company believes it gives the reader a more complete understanding of the Company’s operating results before the impact of investing and financing transactions. EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative measure of operating results or cash flow from operations, as determined in accordance with GAAP. Additionally, the Company’s method of calculating EBITDA may be different from the method used by other companies and therefore, comparability may be limited.

(1) For the trailing twelve months ended March 31, 2003. Includes 54 of the 57 hotels owned. Excludes the Hotel Rex in San Francisco, which closed in November and reopened in late March 2003 after undergoing an earthquake retrofit and renovation, and the Residence Inns in Fishkill, NY and Sacramento, CA, which were undergoing substantial renovations resulting in meaningful rooms out of service.
(2) Total investment includes original cost and all capital expenditures since acquisition. Also includes the costs associated with the Hilton lease termination of approximately $60 million. These costs were required to be written-off as a cancellation of executory contracts and therefore are not included on the balance sheet. However, for return on investment analysis, this amount is included in the total investment.
(3) $304.6 million at an average annual rate of 8.7% (weighted average cost of debt at March 31, 2003).
