Pebblebrook Hotel Trust Completes Sale of
InterContinental Buckhead Atlanta and Sofitel Washington DC Lafayette Square
Bethesda, MD, March 9, 2020 - Pebblebrook Hotel Trust (NYSE: PEB) (the “Company”) today announced that it closed on the sale of the 422-room InterContinental Buckhead Atlanta in Atlanta, Georgia and the 237-room Sofitel Washington DC Lafayette Square in Washington, D.C. for $331.0 million to a third party on March 6, 2020.
For InterContinental Buckhead Atlanta, the contracted sale price reflects a 13.7x EBITDA multiple and a 6.4% net operating income capitalization rate based on the hotel’s operating performance for 2018. Based on the hotel’s operating performance for 2019, the contracted sales price reflects a 13.0x EBITDA multiple and a 6.8% net operating income capitalization rate. Both the EBITDA multiple and net operating income capitalization rate based on operating performance for 2019 are adjusted for the estimated impact of one-time extraordinary events.
For Sofitel Washington DC Lafayette Square, the contracted sale price reflects a 15.1x EBITDA multiple and a 5.7% net operating income capitalization rate based on the hotel’s operating performance for 2018. Based on the hotel’s operating performance for 2019, the contracted sales price reflects a 15.2x EBITDA multiple and a 5.7% net operating income capitalization rate.
For both properties combined, the contracted sale price reflects a 14.2x EBITDA multiple and a 6.1% net operating income capitalization rate based on the hotels’ operating performance for 2018. Based on the hotels’ operating performance for 2019, the contracted sales price reflects a 13.7x EBITDA multiple and a 6.4% net operating income capitalization rate. All the above net operating income capitalization rates are after an assumed annual capital reserve of 4.0% of total hotel revenues.
Proceeds from the sale of InterContinental Buckhead Atlanta and Sofitel Washington DC Lafayette Square will be utilized for general business purposes which may include reducing the Company’s outstanding debt.

This press release includes certain non-GAAP financial measures as defined under Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) rules. These measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative to, measures prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or 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 hotel’s results of operations determined in accordance with GAAP. The Company has presented trailing twelve-month hotel EBITDA and trailing twelve-month hotel net operating income after capital reserves because it believes these measures provide investors and analysts with an understanding of the hotel-level operating performance. These non-GAAP measures do 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 are they indicative of funds available to fund the Company’s cash needs, including its ability to make distributions. The Company’s presentation of the hotel’s trailing twelve-month EBITDA and trailing twelve-month net operating income after capital reserves should not be considered as an alternative to net income (computed in accordance with GAAP) as an indicator of the hotel’s financial performance. The table above is a reconciliation of the hotel’s trailing twelve-month EBITDA and net operating income after capital reserves calculations to net income in accordance with GAAP. Any differences are a result of rounding. |
