“Demand for hotel rooms across the U.S. grew strongly in the first quarter of the year, benefitting from a further recovery in business travel, including both group and transient travel,” said Jon E. Bortz, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Pebblebrook Hotel Trust. “Moreover, with industry supply growth minimal, this demand growth has led to healthy increases in industry occupancy levels and average daily rates. We are extremely pleased with the performance of our new portfolio of hotels in the first quarter and remain optimistic about our outlook for all of 2011. Even with the disruption caused by ongoing renovations at several of our properties during the quarter, our hotels demonstrated an ability to increase average room rates throughout the portfolio, exceeding our expectations.
“Strong growth in Pro forma RevPAR through significant increases in ADR, combined with our efforts to contain operating expenses, generated a 26.7 percent increase in Pro forma Hotel EBITDA and a 273 basis point improvement in our Pro forma Hotel EBITDA margin,” continued Mr. Bortz. “Renovations did however reduce our RevPAR growth in the first quarter by 200 basis points.”
The renovation of the 269-room DoubleTree by Hilton Bethesda—Washington DC’s guest rooms, lobby, entryway and parking facilities is essentially complete. The renovation of the 416-room Sir Francis Drake’s guest rooms is well underway and is expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2011. The hotel’s lobby, lobby bar and Starlight Room renovations are expected to commence and be completed in the third quarter. The renovation of the 140-room Grand Hotel Minneapolis’ guest rooms, lobby, bar, entry and meeting space is currently underway and is expected to be completed by the end of the second quarter of 2011.
“The refurbishment and repositioning programs at the DoubleTree Bethesda, Sir Francis Drake and Grand Hotel Minneapolis will enable these hotels to increase their competitive positioning and ultimately generate significantly improved revenue and enhanced cash flow,” continued Mr. Bortz. “We are excited about the initial guest responses to these renovations and about the increased operating performance we expect to experience during the second half of 2011 and beyond.”
Acquisitions

2011 Outlook
As a result of the Company’s recently completed acquisitions and capital market activities, and its pending acquisition of the Mondrian Los Angeles, the Company is amending its 2011 outlook to the following:
| | • | | Net income to common shareholders of $7.0 million to $9.0 million ($0.14 to $0.19 per diluted share); |
| |
| | • | | FFO of $31.5 million to $33.5 million ($0.65 to $0.70 per diluted share and unit); |
| |
| | • | | Adjusted FFO of $37.0 million to $39.0 million ($0.77 to $0.82 per diluted share and unit); |
| |
| | • | | EBITDA of $53.5 million to $55.5 million; and |
| |
| | • | | Adjusted EBITDA of $59.0 million to $61.0 million. |
The Company’s 2011 outlook is based on the following estimates and assumptions:
| | • | | Additional acquisitions are not included beyond the eleven properties that have been acquired as of April 28, 2011 and the pending acquisition of the Mondrian Los Angeles; |
| |
| | • | | Hotel industry room revenue per available room (“RevPAR”) to increase 6.0 percent to 8.0 percent over 2010; |
| |
| | • | | Portfolio Pro Forma RevPAR growth of 6.0 percent to 8.0 percent over 2010 to $136 to $139 and 2.0 percent to 4.0 percent over the second quarter of 2010 to $140 to $143; |
| |
| | • | | Portfolio Pro Forma Hotel EBITDA of $64.5 million to $66.5 million; |
| |
| | • | | Portfolio Pro Forma Hotel EBITDA Margin to increase between 150 basis points and 230 basis points over the 2010 Portfolio Pro Forma Hotel EBITDA Margin; |
| |
| | • | | Corporate cash general and administrative expenses of approximately $6.5 million to $6.8 million; |
| |
| | • | | Corporate non-cash general and administrative expenses of approximately $2.7 million; |
| |
| | • | | Acquisition and related expenses of approximately $4.0 million; |
| |
| | • | | Total capital investments related to renovations, capital maintenance and return on investment projects of approximately $55.0 million to $60.0 million; |
| |
| | • | | Interest expense, including the non-cash amortization of deferred financing fees, of approximately $13.8 million; |
| |
| | • | | Interest income of approximately $2.0 million; |
| |
| | • | | Weighted-average outstanding debt of approximately $252.4 million; and |
| |
| | • | | Weighted-average fully diluted shares and operating partnership units of approximately 47.9 million. |
The Company’s 2011 outlook for corporate cash and non-cash general and administrative expenses do not include the $4.0 million of costs related to acquisitions, such as due diligence, transfer taxes and legal and accounting fees, which are required to be expensed when incurred, and which are detailed separately above.
The Company’s 2011 outlook includes the operating results and financial performance of the hotels the Company owned as of April 28, 2011, plus the Mondrian Los Angeles. The Company’s estimates and assumptions for portfolio RevPAR growth and portfolio hotel EBITDA margin growth for 2011 include the hotels owned as of April 28, 2011, plus the Mondrian Los Angeles, but exclude the Grand Hotel Minneapolis for the first three quarters of both 2011 and 2010, because the operating results of that hotel prior to the Company’s acquisition of it in September 2010 were not auditable. The Company expects to include operating results for the Grand Hotel Minneapolis in year-over-year comparisons after the Company has owned the hotel for one full year. The Mondrian Los Angeles is assumed to be acquired during the second quarter of 2011 and is included for quarters two through four. The operating results and financial performance of the Argonaut Hotel, The Westin Gaslamp Quarter, Hotel Monaco Seattle and Mondrian Los Angeles are included in 2010 for their comparative period of ownership in 2011.

This press release includes certain non-GAAP financial measures as defined under Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Rules to supplement the Company’s consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).
These measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative to, measures prepared in accordance with GAAP and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. In addition, these non-GAAP measures are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. Non-GAAP measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with the Company’s results of operations determined in accordance with GAAP.
Funds from Operations — Funds from operations (“FFO”) represents net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), plus real estate-related depreciation and amortization and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships. The Company considers FFO a useful measure of performance for an equity REIT because it facilitates an understanding of the operating performance of its properties without giving effect to real estate depreciation and amortization, which assume that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, the Company believes that FFO provides a meaningful indication of its performance. The Company also considers FFO an appropriate performance measure given its wide use by investors and analysts. The Company computes FFO in accordance with standards established by the Board of Governors of NAREIT in its March 1995 White Paper (as amended in November 1999 and April 2002), which may differ from the methodology for calculating FFO utilized by other equity REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to that of other REITs. Further, FFO does not represent amounts available for management’s discretionary use because of needed capital replacement or expansion, debt service obligations or other commitments and uncertainties, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund the Company’s cash needs, including its ability to make distributions. The Company presents FFO per diluted share calculations that are based on the outstanding dilutive common shares plus the outstanding Operating Partnership units for the periods presented.
Earnings before Interest, Income Taxes, and Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”) — We believe that EBITDA provides investors a useful financial measure to evaluate our operating performance, excluding the impact of our capital structure (primarily interest expense) and our asset base (primarily depreciation and amortization).
The Company’s presentation of FFO in accordance with the NAREIT white paper and EBITDA, or as adjusted by the Company, should not be considered as an alternative to net income (computed in accordance with GAAP) as an indicator of the Company’s financial performance or to cash flow from operating activities (computed in accordance with GAAP) as an indicator of its liquidity. The table above is a reconciliation of the Company’s FFO and EBITDA calculations to net income in accordance with GAAP.
The Company also evaluates its performance by reviewing Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted FFO, because it believes that adjusting EBITDA and FFO to exclude certain recurring and non-recurring items described below provides useful supplemental information regarding the Company’s ongoing operating performance and that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted FFO, when combined with the primary GAAP presentation of net income (loss), more completely describes the Company’s operating performance. The Company adjusts EBITDA and FFO for the following items, which may occur in any period, and refers to these measures as Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted FFO:
| • | | Non-Cash Ground Rent: The Company excludes the non-cash amortization expense of the Company’s ground lease asset. |
| |
| • | | Acquisition Costs: The Company excludes acquisition transaction costs expensed during the period because it believes that including these costs in EBITDA and FFO does not reflect the underlying financials performance of the Company and its hotels. |
| |
| • | | Amortization of LTIP Units: The Company excludes the non-cash amortization of LTIP Units expensed during the period. |
