(1) Please see the schedules to this press release for an explanation of the basis of the pro forma presentation and reconciliation of the pro forma financial information and adjusted results of operations. Pro forma information excludes adjustments that are not expected to have a continuing effect on the company, and adjusted information is adjusted for certain special items, in each case as discussed in the schedules attached to this press release. Pro Forma Segment Adjusted EBITDA reflects intercompany fees charged to our owned hotels under new agreements entered into at the time of the IPO as if these fees had been in place for all periods presented.

(3) Adjustments include (i) one-time net tax expense, which reflects the establishment of a net deferred tax liability associated with the La Quinta Predecessor Entities becoming owned by La Quinta Holdings Inc., a “C” corporation for income tax purposes, (ii) share based compensation adjustment, which reflects the expense to exchange units that were outstanding under our long-term cash incentive plan at the time of our IPO for shares of La Quinta Holdings Inc. common stock, 80% of which vest within one year of the IPO, and (iii) loss on extinguishment of the historical debt that was refinanced on April 14, 2014.

(4) Change in terms of percentage is not meaningful.

Development

The Company opened 12 franchised hotels with over 1,000 rooms in the second quarter and achieved net system-wide growth of 9 hotels with over 650 rooms. Year to date through June 30, 2014, the Company opened 24 franchised hotels with approximately 2,400 rooms. As of June 30, 2014, the Company had a pipeline of 190 franchised hotels totaling over 15,500 rooms, to be located in the United States, Mexico, Canada, Colombia, Honduras, Nicaragua, and Guatemala.

The Company’s system-wide portfolio, as of June 30, 2014, consisted of 848 hotels representing approximately 85,000 rooms located predominantly across 47 U.S. states, as well as in Canada and Mexico. This portfolio includes 353 owned and operated hotels and 495 franchised hotels.

Balance Sheet and Liquidity

During the quarter, the Company made a voluntary prepayment of $80 million on its senior secured term loan facility. As of June 30, 2014, the Company had approximately $2.0 billion of outstanding indebtedness with a weighted average interest rate of approximately 4.4%, including the impact of an interest rate swap.

Initial Public Offering and Credit Facility

On April 14, 2014, the Company issued approximately 44 million shares of common stock at an IPO price of $17.00 per share, including the full exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares. Upon completion of the IPO, the Company had approximately 129.7 million shares outstanding on a fully diluted basis including approximately 0.35 million shares issued under the Company’s omnibus incentive plan.

Concurrently with the consummation of the IPO, the Company entered into a credit agreement providing for senior secured credit facilities consisting of a $2.1 billion senior secured term loan facility, which will mature in 2021, and a $250.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility, which will mature in 2019. At closing, the Company also entered into a five year interest rate swap on $850 million of the term loan principal balance.

The Company used the net proceeds from the IPO, together with the net proceeds from the senior secured term loan facility and available cash, to repay approximately $2.7 billion of the La Quinta Predecessor Entities’ outstanding debt. Any remaining net proceeds are being used for general corporate purposes.

Outlook

Based upon management’s current estimates, the Company is increasing its guidance for full year 2014 and is expecting:

	Updated Guidance	Prior Guidance
RevPAR growth on a system-wide comparable hotel basis	6.0 percent to 7.0 percent	5.5 percent to 7.0 percent

RECONCILIATIONS

Prior to the IPO, the Company’s business was conducted, and the Company’s hotel properties were owned, through multiple entities including (i) the “La Quinta Predecessor Entities” which were entities under common control or otherwise consolidated for financial reporting purposes, and their consolidated subsidiaries and (ii) entities that owned 14 hotels (the “Previously Managed Portfolio”) managed by the La Quinta Predecessor Entities. In connection with the IPO, among other transactions, (i) the La Quinta Predecessor Entities were contributed to the Company, (ii) the La Quinta Predecessor Entities purchased the Previously Managed Portfolio, and (iii) the Company effected the refinancing transactions described below (together with the IPO, the “IPO Transactions”).

The unaudited pro forma financial data for the three-month and six month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 are presented as if the IPO Transactions all had occurred on January 1, 2013 for the purposes of the unaudited pro forma combined statements of operations. The unaudited pro forma combined financial information excludes adjustments that are not expected to have a continuing effect on the Company. Excluded adjustments include the initial income tax impact of the La Quinta Predecessor Entities and the Previously Managed Portfolio being owned by a “C” corporation, gains and losses related to the debt financing transactions, and the impact of the issuance of vested and unvested restricted stock at the time of the IPO related to long term incentives, as well as that of discontinued operations. Accordingly, the unaudited pro forma financial data is not necessarily indicative of our financial position or results of operations had the transactions described above for which we are giving pro forma effect actually occurred on the dates indicated.

The tables below provide a reconciliation of the pro forma financial information, including segment information, for the Company to the Company’s historical information, a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to Net Income, both on a pro forma and historical basis, and a reconciliation of Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings Per Share to Net Income and Earnings Per Share. We believe this financial information provides meaningful supplemental information because it reflects the combined business of the La Quinta Predecessor Entities and the Previously Managed Portfolio and the ongoing effects of the other IPO Transactions. We further believe the presentation of Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings Per Share provides meaningful information because it excludes the impact of certain items that are not expected to have an ongoing effect on our operations. This represents how management views the business and reviews our operating performance. It is also used by management when publicly providing the business outlook. See the definitions of “EBITDA”, “Adjusted EBITDA”, “Adjusted Net Income” and “Adjusted Earnings Per Share” for a further explanation of the use of these measures.

LA QUINTA HOLDINGS INC.

DEFINED TERMS

“EBITDA” and “Adjusted EBITDA.” Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) is a commonly used measure in many industries. We adjust EBITDA when evaluating our performance because we believe that the adjustment for certain items, such as restructuring and acquisition transaction expenses, impairment charges related to long-lived assets, non-cash equity-based compensation, discontinued operations, and other items not indicative of ongoing operating performance, including other items relating to the IPO Transactions, provides useful supplemental information to management and investors regarding our ongoing operating performance. We believe that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA provide useful information to investors about us and our financial condition and results of operations for the following reasons: (i) EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are among the measures used by our management team to evaluate our operating performance and make day-to-day operating decisions; and (ii) EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are frequently used by securities analysts, investors, lenders and other interested parties as a common performance measure to compare results or estimate valuations across companies in our industry.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not recognized terms under GAAP, have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered either in isolation or as a substitute for net income (loss), cash flow or other methods of analyzing our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are:

• EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;

• EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect our interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on our indebtedness;

• EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect our tax expense or the cash requirements to pay our taxes;

• EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect historical cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;

• EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect the impact on earnings or changes resulting from matters that we consider not to be indicative of our future operations;

• although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements; and

• other companies in our industry may calculate EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA differently, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures.

Because of these limitations, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as discretionary cash available to us to reinvest in the growth of our business or as measures of cash that will be available to us to meet our obligations.

“Adjusted Net Income” and “Adjusted Earnings Per Share” are not recognized terms under U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to net income (loss), earnings per share, or other measures of financial performance or liquidity derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In addition, the Company’s definition of Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings Per Share, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings Per Share are included to assist investors in performing meaningful comparisons of past, present and future operating results and as a means of highlighting the results of the Company’s ongoing operations.

“ADR” or “average daily rate” means hotel room revenues divided by total number of rooms sold in a given period.

“comparable hotels” means hotels that: (i) were active and operating in our system for at least one full calendar year as of the end of the applicable period and were active and operating as of January 1st of the previous year; and (ii) have not sustained substantial property damage or business interruption or for which comparable results are not available. Management uses comparable hotels as the basis upon which to evaluate ADR, occupancy, RevPAR and RevPAR Index on a system-wide basis and for each of our reportable segments.

16

“occupancy” means the total number of rooms sold in a given period divided by the total number of rooms available at a hotel or group of hotels.

“RevPAR” or “revenue per available room” means the product of the ADR charged and the average daily occupancy achieved.

“RevPAR Index” measures a hotel’s fair market share of its competitive set’s revenue per available room. “system-wide” refers collectively to our owned, franchised and managed hotel portfolios.

17
