First-quarter 2004 comparable revenue per available room (RevPAR) for the company’s 73 core hotels rose 2.7 percent to $73.70. Occupancy increased 1.4 percent to 67.4 percent and average daily rate (ADR) increased 1.2 percent to $109.27.
“We gained solid momentum throughout the quarter, and we believe we are now in a period of sustained recovery,” said Paul W. Whetsell, chairman and chief executive officer. “We

were pleased with the RevPAR results we achieved in the quarter as we commenced a significant renovation program and completed brand conversions on three of our hotels. Although the conversions impacted our results in the first quarter, we expect to generate significant returns from these conversions and anticipate strong results from these hotels going forward. Excluding the converted hotels and two additional hotels planned for conversion, RevPAR increased 4.4 percent over the first quarter of 2003. Looking ahead, we see further operating improvements throughout our portfolio as the economic recovery gains a solid footing and the business transient traveler begins to return in force.”
Whetsell noted that the company’s hotel operating margins continued under pressure in the first quarter. “Margins were down due to unfavorable cost comparisons as a result of aggressive cost-cutting last year prior to the war in Iraq. Although operating margins will be somewhat affected by these difficult comparisons in the second quarter, we expect to see increases in margins in the second half of 2004 as RevPAR continues to improve.”
Dispositions
In the 2004 first quarter, the company sold 11 hotels with 2,497 rooms for total gross proceeds of $74 million. Two additional hotels with 371 rooms were sold to date in the second quarter for gross proceeds of $18 million. Since the beginning of 2003, the company has sold 28 non-core assets aggregating 5,716 rooms for $220 million in total gross proceeds.
“Our asset disposition program has been very successful,” Whetsell said. “Through it, we have been able to reposition our portfolio to a mix of higher yielding hotels and reduce our

leverage. We have six assets remaining in our non-core disposition program with expected proceeds of $45 million to $50 million.”
Acquisitions
“We are exceptionally pleased to be active in the acquisition arena, recently announcing the purchase of the Ritz-Carlton Pentagon City, which is on target to close in May. We have an active pipeline of acquisition opportunities, but we will continue to be highly selective,” Whetsell said. “This high quality hotel is very much in line with the type of assets we will look to acquire—larger properties that will be accretive to earnings, located in major urban markets or high-end resort destinations with high barriers to entry, strong brand affiliations and significant meeting space.”
Renovation Program
In the 2004 first quarter, the company invested approximately $24 million in capital expenditures. “Our plan to dramatically enhance the quality of our core properties is progressing smoothly,” Whetsell noted. “Our new streamlined design and purchasing program is achieving expected savings of 10 to 15 percent for furniture, fixtures and equipment. The program is also dramatically reducing the time required to renovate hotels, allowing us to improve the quality of our hotels faster to take advantage of the rebound in the economy.”
To date in 2004, the company has completed four of 10 planned brand conversions. “The new brand affiliations are better targeted to the customer profiles in their respective markets, and, we believe, will generate higher revenues or will produce a more beneficial cost structure.”

Operating Performance in Significant Markets
The company reported positive year-over-year RevPAR gains in eight of its 12 major markets in the 2004 first quarter. RevPAR increases in key markets included a 12.7 percent gain in the Mid-Atlantic, a 10.5 percent gain in Southern California and a 6.9 percent gain in Northern California, markets which together account for 22 percent of total revenues. RevPAR in Houston increased 17.0 percent due to the company’s hotels benefiting from Super Bowl activities. “We are seeing meaningful rebounds in key urban markets as the economic recovery gains momentum,” Whetsell said.
Comparable RevPAR contributions in significant markets for the 2004 first quarter were:

Capital Structure
The company completed the following capital markets transactions during the 2004 first quarter:
| • | | The company repurchased $72 million of senior notes, with an additional $14 million repurchased to date in the second quarter. |
|
| • | | The company retired $38 million of senior subordinated notes and an additional $11 million to date in the second quarter. The company intends to retire the remaining senior subordinated notes by the end of the third quarter. |
“We continued to improve our capital structure in the first quarter, maintaining liquidity while reducing our leverage,” said Donald D. Olinger, chief financial officer. “We have reduced our overall debt by $134 million since year end. We now have only minimal maturities before 2008. As of March 31, 2004, we had $240 million of cash and $50 million available on our secured revolving credit facility.
“We raised an additional $73 million in April through an offering of 12.0 million common shares, and we expect to use the proceeds to complete additional hotel acquisitions. We anticipate financing a portion of our acquisitions with mortgage debt, which will allow us to benefit from the current low interest rate environment.”

Outlook
“We remain very optimistic about 2004, and are gaining confidence with each passing month,” Whetsell said. “For the second quarter, we expect solid RevPAR gains to result from continued strength in the economy.”
The company provides the following range of estimates for the second quarter and full-year 2004, based on a projected second-quarter 2004 RevPAR increase of 4.0 percent to 5.0 percent and full-year 2004 RevPAR increase of 4.0 percent to 5.0 percent. This guidance includes the effect of the Ritz-Carlton Pentagon City acquisition, one additional acquisition from the proceeds of the recent $73 million equity offering, $50 million of additional senior note repurchases, and $100 million of new mortgage debt financing for hotel acquisitions.

(a) See reconciliations of net loss to FFO per diluted share and Adjusted FFO per diluted share and net loss to Adjusted EBITDA included in the tables of this press release. Forecasted net loss does not include any possible future losses on asset impairments or gains or losses on the sales of assets.
(b) This press release includes various references to FFO, Adjusted FFO, and Adjusted EBITDA. Substantially all of our non-current assets consist of real estate, and in accordance with GAAP, those assets are subject to straight-line depreciation, which reflects the assumption that the value of real estate assets, other than land, will decline ratably over time. That assumption is often not true with respect to the actual market values of real estate assets (and, in particular, hotels), which fluctuate based on economic, market and other conditions. As a result, management and many industry investors believe the presentation of GAAP operating measures for real estate companies to be more informative and useful when other measures, adjusted for depreciation and amortization, are also presented.

In an effort to address these concerns, NAREIT adopted a definition of Funds From Operations, or FFO. NAREIT defines FFO as net income (computed in accordance with GAAP) excluding gains (or losses) from sales of real estate, real estate-related depreciation and amortization, and after comparable adjustments for our portion of these items related to unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Extraordinary items and cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles as defined by GAAP are also excluded from the calculation of FFO. As defined by NAREIT, FFO also does not include reductions from asset impairment charges. The SEC, however, recommends that FFO include the effect of asset impairment charges, which presentation we have adopted for all historical presentations of FFO. We believe FFO is an indicative measure of our operating performance due to the significance of our hotel real estate assets, and that it can be used to measure our ability to service debt, fund capital expenditures, and expand our business. We also use FFO in our annual budget process.
Adjusted FFO represents FFO excluding the effects of losses on early extinguishments of debt, write-offs of deferred financing costs and, in accordance with the NAREIT definition of FFO, asset impairment charges. We exclude the effects of losses on early extinguishments of debt, write-offs of deferred financing costs and asset impairment charges because we believe that including them in Adjusted FFO does not fully reflect the operating performance of our remaining assets. We believe Adjusted FFO is useful for the same reasons we believe that FFO is useful, but we also believe that Adjusted FFO enables us and the investor to consider our operating performance without considering the items we exclude from our definition of Adjusted FFO, which have no cash effect in the periods considered. We also use Adjusted FFO in our annual budget process.
EBITDA represents consolidated earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization and includes operations from the assets included in discontinued operations. We further adjust EBITDA for the effect of capital market transactions that would result in a gain or loss on early extinguishments of debt, as well as the earnings effect of asset dispositions and any impairment assessments, resulting in the measure that we refer to as “Adjusted EBITDA.” We exclude the effect of gains or losses on early extinguishments of debt as well as the earnings effect of asset dispositions and impairment assessments because we believe that including them in Adjusted EBITDA does not fully reflect the operating performance of our remaining assets.
We also believe Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors regarding our financial condition and results of operations because Adjusted EBITDA is useful in evaluating our operating performance and our capacity to incur and service debt, fund capital expenditures and expand our business. Furthermore, we use Adjusted EBITDA to provide a measure of unleveraged cash flow that can be isolated on an asset by asset basis, to determine overall property performance and to measure our ability to service debt. We believe that the rating agencies and a number of our lenders also use Adjusted EBITDA for those purposes. We also use Adjusted EBITDA as one measure in determining the value of acquisitions and dispositions and, like FFO, it is also widely used in our annual budget process.
