We leased 86 of our hotels to operating lessees and one 50%-owned hotel is operated without a lease.
We consolidate the operating lessees of 85 of our hotels (which we refer to as our Consolidated Hotels) in our statement of operations (i.e. we record 100% of hotel operating revenues and expenses before noncontrolling interests) because we have controlling interests in these operating lessees. Our Consolidated Hotels include lessees for 13 of the 15 hotels in which we had a 50% ownership interest at June 30, 2009 (because we own majority ownership interests in the operating lessees for these 13 hotels). We do not consolidate hotel operating revenues and expenses of our other two 50% owned hotels.
At June 30, 2009, we had 64,985,265 shares and units outstanding, consisting of 64,689,422 shares of FelCor common stock and 295,843 FelCor LP limited partnership units not owned by FelCor. The following table illustrates the distribution of our 85 Consolidated Hotels among our various brands at June 30, 2009:
Brand | Hotels | | Rooms |
Embassy Suites Hotels® | | 47 | | | 12,132 | |

At June 30, 2009, our Consolidated Hotels were located in the United States (83 hotels in 23 states) and Canada (two hotels in Ontario), with concentrations in California (15 hotels), Florida (14 hotels) and Texas (11 hotels). Approximately 52% of our hotel room revenues were generated from hotels in these three states during 2009.
At June 30, 2009, of our 85 Consolidated Hotels: (i) subsidiaries of Hilton Hotels Corporation, or Hilton, managed 54 hotels, (ii) subsidiaries of InterContinental Hotels Group, or IHG, managed 17 hotels, (iii) subsidiaries of Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide Inc., or Starwood, managed nine hotels, (iv) subsidiaries of Marriott International Inc., or Marriott, managed three hotels, and (iv) independent management companies managed two hotels.
Our hotels managed by Marriott are accounted for on a fiscal year comprised of 52 or 53 weeks ending on the Friday closest to December 31. Our six-month period ended June 30, 2009 includes the results of operations for our Marriott-managed hotels for the twenty four-week period ended June 19, 2009.

1. | Organization – (continued) |
The information in our consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 is unaudited. Preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The accompanying financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, include adjustments based on management’s estimates (consisting of normal and recurring accruals), which we consider necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods. The financial information should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2008, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of actual operating results for the entire year.
2. | Investment in Unconsolidated Entities |
We owned 50% interests in joint ventures that owned 15 hotels at June 30, 2009 and 17 hotels at December 31, 2008. We also own a 50% interest in joint ventures that own real estate in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, provide condominium management services and lease one hotel. We account for our investments in these unconsolidated entities under the equity method. We do not have any majority-owned subsidiaries that are not consolidated in our financial statements. We make adjustments to our equity in income from unconsolidated entities related to the depreciation of our excess basis in investment in unconsolidated entities when compared to the historical basis of the assets recorded by the joint ventures.

| (a) | In the first quarter of 2009, one of our unconsolidated investments recorded an impairment charge for one of its held-for-sale assets under the provisions of SFAS 144. The SFAS 144 impairment recorded by the unconsolidated entity was based on a sales contract for one of the entity’s assets (a Level 1 input under SFAS 157) which closed on April 23, 2009. As a result of this charge, the net book value of the joint venture’s assets no longer supported the recovery of our investment. Therefore, we recorded an additional impairment charge to reduce our investment in this joint venture to zero. We have no obligation to provide this joint venture with future funding. |

We reported interest expense of $22.8 million and $24.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, which is net of: (i) interest income of $0.1 million and $0.4 million, respectively, and (ii) capitalized interest of $0.2 million and $0.3 million, respectively. We reported interest expense of $44.1 million and $50.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, which is net of: (i) interest income of $0.3 million and $1.0 million, respectively, and (ii) capitalized interest of $0.4 million and $0.7 million, respectively.
In June 2009, we obtained a $200 million non-recourse term loan secured by nine hotels. This loan bears interest at LIBOR (subject to a 2% floor) plus 350 basis points and matures in 2011. This loan can be extended for as many as two years, subject to satisfying certain conditions that we expect to satisfy. We have the right to prepay the loan and/or obtain partial release of one or more of the mortgages, subject to certain conditions. The proceeds from this new loan will be used for general corporate purposes.
In June 2009, we repaid the $128 million balance under our line of credit, which was then terminated. By terminating our line of credit, we eliminated certain restrictive corporate debt covenants. We wrote off loan costs of $594,000 associated with this facility.
In March 2009, we entered into a loan agreement with The Prudential Insurance Company of America secured by seven hotels. The proceeds of the loan were used to repay the balance of an existing loan secured by the same properties that would have matured on April 1, 2009. The new loan matures in 2014 and bears interest at 9.02%. We have the right to prepay the loan and/or obtain partial release of one or more of the mortgages, subject to certain conditions.
We have two non-recourse mortgage loans with an aggregate principal amount of $14 million (each secured by one hotel) that matured in June 2009 but remain unpaid and are in default. Although we have sufficient liquidity to repay these loans, we believe that using our available cash, under current circumstances, to repay these loans may not be prudent. These loans are serviced by a third-party servicer on behalf of the investors in a larger pool of loans that includes these loans. That servicer would not engage in discussions with us to extend the maturity dates unless and until the loans were in default; consequently, we withheld payment and permitted the loans to go into default. We have now begun negotiations with the special servicer to extend the maturity of these loans. We can provide no assurances that we will be able to extend the maturity of these loans on acceptable terms. If we are unsuccessful in our efforts to extend the maturity of these loans, we have the right to repay the amounts outstanding under either or both loans (in which case, we could then sell or refinance the hotels now or in the future) or, in the alternative, allow the lenders to foreclose on either hotel or both hotels.

For the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, nearly all of our revenue was comprised of hotel operating revenue, which included room revenue, food and beverage revenue, and revenue from other hotel operating departments (such as telephones, parking and business centers). These revenues are recorded net of any sales or occupancy taxes collected from our guests. All rebates or discounts are recorded, when allowed, as a reduction in revenue, and there are no material contingent obligations with respect to rebates or discounts offered by us. All revenues are recorded on an accrual basis, as earned. Appropriate allowances are made for doubtful accounts, which are recorded as a bad debt expense.

FELCOR LODGING TRUST INCORPORATED
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Our hotels comprise operations and cash flows that can clearly be distinguished, operationally and for financial reporting purposes, from the remainder of our operations. Accordingly, we consider our hotels to be components as defined by SFAS No. 144 for purposes of determining impairment charges and reporting discontinued operations.
During 2008, we identified eight hotels as candidates to be sold and tested them for impairment (three no longer are identified as candidates for sale and five hotels remain sale candidates). Of the hotels tested, two failed the test under SFAS No. 144. Accordingly, we wrote down these hotel assets to our then current estimate of their fair market value before selling expenses, which resulted in a $17.1 million impairment charge in the quarter ended March 31, 2008. During the quarter ended March 31, 2009, we recorded a $1.4 million impairment charge on one of the five remaining sale candidates based on a third-party offer to purchase (a Level 2 input under SFAS 157) at a price less than our previously estimated fair value. Under current market conditions, we do not consider a sale to be probable within the next twelve months (for purposes of determining whether a hotel is held for sale under SFAS 144) until a buyer has completed its due diligence review of the asset, we have an executed contract for sale, and we have received a substantial non-refundable deposit. The hotels identified as sale candidates continue to be depreciated over their remaining useful lives.
We may be subject to additional impairment charges in the event that operating results of individual hotels are materially different from our forecasts, or the economy or lodging industry weakens, or if we shorten our contemplated holding period for certain of our hotels.
7. | Gain on Involuntary Conversion |
During the second quarter of 2008, we reached a final settlement of insurance claims related to 2005 hurricane losses and realized a $3.1 million gain from involuntary conversion, as the final proceeds received exceeded our estimated basis in the assets requiring replacement.
8. | Income (Loss) Per Share |
For 2009, we adopted FASB Staff Position No. EITF 03-6-1, “Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities” (“FSP EITF 03-6-1”). FSP EITF 03-6-1 addresses whether instruments granted in share-based payment awards are participating securities prior to vesting, and therefore, need to be included in the earnings allocation when computing earnings per share under the two-class method as described in FASB Statement No. 128, “Earnings per Share” (“FAS 128”). In accordance with FSP EITF 03-6-1, unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) are participating securities and shall be included in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method. All prior-period earnings per share data presented below are adjusted retrospectively with no material impact.

9. | Suspension of Dividends |
We suspended our common dividends in December 2008 and our preferred dividends in March 2009. Although dividends are not paid unless declared by our Board of Directors, unpaid preferred dividends continue to accrue, and accrued and current preferred dividends must be paid in full prior to payment of any common dividends. Our Board of Directors will determine whether to declare future dividends based upon various factors, including operating results, economic conditions, other operating trends, our financial condition and capital requirements, as well as minimum REIT distribution requirements.
10. | Noncontrolling Interests |
Effective January 1, 2009, we adopted the provisions of SFAS 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements,” which establishes and expands accounting and reporting standards for minority interests (which are recharacterized as noncontrolling interests) in a subsidiary and the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. We have also adopted the recent revisions to EITF Topic D-98, “Classification and Measurement of Redeemable Securities,” which became effective upon our adoption of SFAS 160. As a result of our adoption of these standards, amounts previously reported as minority interests in other partnerships on our balance sheets are now presented as noncontrolling interests in other partnerships within equity. There has been no change in the measurement of this line item from amounts previously reported. Minority interests in FelCor LP have also been recharacterized as noncontrolling interests, but because of the redemption feature of these units, have been included in the mezzanine section (between liabilities and equity) on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. These units are redeemable at the option of the holders for a like number of shares of our common stock or, at our option, the cash equivalent thereof. Based on the requirements of D-98, the measurement of noncontrolling interests in FelCor LP is now presented at the fair value of the units as of the balance sheet date (based on our stock price as of the balance sheet date times the number of outstanding units). Previously, these interests were measured based on the noncontrolling interests in FelCor LP’s pro rata share of total common interests, in accordance with EITF 95-7. The revised presentation and measurement required by SFAS 160 and D-98 has been adopted retrospectively.
A reconciliation between the amounts previously reported and their current measurements at December 31, 2007 and 2008 are shown below (in thousands):
| Redeemable noncontrolling interests | | Additional paid-in capital | | Accumulated other comprehensive income |

11. | Fair Value of Financial Instruments |
In April 2009, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position 107-1 and APB 28-1 which requires disclosures about fair value of financial instruments for interim reporting periods of publicly traded companies as well as in annual financial statements. We adopted this FSP in the second quarter of 2009. The disclosures about the fair value of all financial instruments are required whether or not recognized for financial statement purposes. Disclosures about fair value of financial instruments are based on pertinent information available to management as of June 30, 2009. Considerable judgment is necessary to interpret market data and develop estimated fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that we could realize on disposition of the financial instruments. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.
Our estimates of the fair value of (i) accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate carrying value due to the relatively short maturity of these instruments; and (ii) our publicly traded debt is based on observable market data, and our debt that is not traded publicly is based on estimated effective borrowing rates for debt with similar terms, loan to estimated fair value, and remaining maturities (the estimated fair value of our debt was $1.5 billion at June 30, 2009).
12. | Recently Issued Statements of Financial Accounting Standards |
In April 2009, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position 157-4 which provides guidance on estimating fair values when the volume and level of activity for the asset and liability have significantly decreased. It also includes guidance on identifying circumstances that indicate a transaction is not orderly. If the weight of evidence indicates that the transaction is not orderly, a reporting entity shall place little, if any, weight on that transaction price when estimating fair value. We adopted this FSP in the second quarter of 2009 without any material impact on our financial position. This Staff Position could have a material effect on our financial position to the extent we are estimating fair values to be recorded in the financial statements for assets or liabilities in markets where the volume and activity for the asset or liability has significantly decreased.

12. | Recently Issued Statements of Financial Accounting Standards – (continued) |
In June 2009, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 167, “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46R.” SFAS 167 amends FIN 46R to require an enterprise to qualitatively assess the determination of the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity (“VIE”) based on whether the entity (i) has the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and (ii) has the obligation to absorb losses of the entity or the right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE. Also, SFAS 167 requires an ongoing reconsideration of the primary beneficiary, and amends the events that trigger a reassessment of whether an entity is a VIE. Enhanced disclosures are also required to provide information about an enterprise’s involvement in a VIE. This statement is effective for us on January 1, 2010. Earlier application is prohibited. We are currently evaluating the effect that adoption of this standard will have on our consolidated financial position and results of operations.
We have performed an evaluation of subsequent events through August 6, 2009 (which is the date the financial statements were issued), and the results of this evaluation are appropriately reflected in these financial statements.
Item 2. | Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations |
General
We entered 2009 in the midst of a recession that is continuing. In the first six months of 2009, the lodging industry continued to experience nationwide decreases in revenue per available room, or RevPAR (U.S. average RevPAR decreased 18.7% in the first six months of 2009). However, in spite of reduced RevPAR, our hotels increased portfolio market share by 2% in the second quarter of 2009. We believe the increase in market share is largely attributable to our recently completed comprehensive hotel renovation program, asset management and strong brand affiliations.
As lodging demand continues to slow in 2009, we continue to work closely with our brand-managers to implement extensive cost containment initiatives in the lower RevPAR environment. Many of our hotels have been able to reduce labor costs permanently, and all of our hotels have trimmed non-critical functions. These cost reductions have enabled us to minimize margin erosion at our hotels despite reduced hotel revenues.
We are focused on maintaining market share, protecting average daily rate, or ADR, preserving margins and managing our balance sheet.
| • | In March 2009, we refinanced our $116 million Prudential loan maturing in 2009, with a new non-recourse term loan secured by the same seven hotels that matures in 2014. |
| • | In June 2009, we obtained a $200 million non-recourse term loan secured by nine hotels that matures in 2011. This loan can be extended for up to two years subject to satisfying certain conditions that we expect to satisfy. |
| • | In June 2009, we repaid and terminated our line of credit. By terminating our line of credit, we eliminated certain restrictive corporate debt covenants. |
| • | We have two non-recourse mortgage loans with an aggregate principal amount of $14 million (each secured by one hotel) that matured in June 2009 but remain unpaid. We have begun negotiations with the special servicer to extend the maturity of these loans. We can provide no assurances that we will be able to extend the maturity of these loans on acceptable terms. If we are unsuccessful in our efforts to extend the maturity of these loans, we have the right to repay the amounts outstanding under either or both loans (in which case, we could then sell or refinance the hotels now or in the future) or, in the alternative, allow the lenders to foreclose on either hotel or both hotels. |
| • | We are in preliminary discussions with current and potential lenders to modify and/or refinance all of our debt that will mature in 2010 and 2011. |
On April 1, 2009, our renovated San Francisco Marriott Union Square hotel began operating as a Marriott hotel, which had been operating as Hotel 480 during renovations that began in 2007. The renovations were comprehensive and included guest rooms, guest baths, guest corridors, meeting space, food and beverage outlets, public areas and building exterior. Second quarter RevPAR (under the Marriott flag) increased more than 21% at this hotel, compared to the prior year, and its market share increased by 82%, exceeding expectations. The market share index at this hotel was 109% in the second quarter compared to 79% in 2006 (prior to its renovation).
We suspended our common dividends in December 2008 and our preferred dividends in March 2009. Although dividends are not paid unless declared by our Board of Directors, unpaid preferred dividends continue to accrue, and accrued and current preferred dividends must be paid in full prior to payment of any common dividends. Our Board of Directors will determine whether to declare future dividends based upon various factors, including operating results, economic conditions, other operating trends, our financial condition and capital requirements, as well as minimum REIT distribution requirements.

Results of Operations
Comparison of the Three Months Ended June 30, 2009 and 2008
For the three months ended June 30, 2009, we recorded a net loss applicable to common stockholders of $20.9 million, or $0.33 per share, compared to net income applicable to common stockholders of $13.6 million, or $0.21 per share, for the same period in 2008. The current year loss is attributable primarily to a 20.8% decrease in revenue compared to the same period in 2008. We were able to limit our margin loss in the second quarter of 2009 compared to the same period in 2008, primarily by reducing hotel labor costs by $12.6 million and reducing other costs associated with non-critical functions. Our hotel expenses decreased by 14.6% compared to second quarter 2008. Our 2008 net income also included a $3.1 million gain related to involuntary conversions from the final settlement of 2005 hurricane claims.
In the second quarter of 2009:
| • | Total revenue was $242.6 million, a 20.8% decrease compared to the same period in 2008. The decrease in revenue is attributed principally to a 20.6% decrease in RevPAR, which was driven by a 10.1% decrease in occupancy and an 11.6% decrease in ADR. |
| • | Hotel departmental expenses decreased $16.3 million (16.3%) compared to the same period in 2008. As a percentage of total revenue, hotel departmental expenses increased from 32.7% to 34.6% compared to the same period in 2008. The $16.3 million expense reduction reflected: (i) the 10.1% decrease in occupancy; (ii) an $8.8 million decrease in labor costs, which included permanent reductions related to a decrease in hotel employees; (iii) a decrease in non-critical room expenses, such as guest transportation, in-room amenities, bath linen quantities, and newspaper service; and (iv) menu modifications in food and beverage. |
| • | Other property related costs decreased $10.7 million (13.9%) compared to the same period in 2008. As a percentage of total revenue, other property related costs increased from 25.0% to 27.2% compared to the same period in 2008. The $10.7 million expense reduction included: (i) a $3.7 million decrease in labor costs; (ii) a $3.3 million decrease in marketing assessments, credit card commissions and frequent guest expense (all of which reflect the decrease in revenue); (iii) a $1.9 million decrease in repairs and maintenance, partially attributed to our recently completed renovation program; and (iv) reductions in other non-critical expenses. |
| • | Management and franchise fees decreased $4.6 million compared to the same period in 2008, due to the decrease in revenues. As a percent of total revenue, franchise fees and base management fees remained essentially unchanged from 2008 to 2009 (both fees are based on a percentage of revenue). Incentive management fee expense decreased $1.7 million compared to the prior year. Incentive management fees are based on the profitability of the hotel operations, which significantly decreased from 2008 to 2009. |
| • | Taxes, insurance and lease expense decreased $3.8 million compared to the same period in 2008. This decrease was primarily related to a $4.9 million decrease in percentage rent, attributed to decreased revenue; a $1.0 million decrease in property and general liability insurance, attributed to improved insurance rates and claims experience; and a $1.1 million decrease in state franchise taxes and land leases, attributed to decreased revenue. This decrease was partially offset by a $3.1 million increase in real estate and other taxes, attributed to reduced property tax accruals in 2008. Taxes, insurance and lease expense increased as a percentage of total revenue from 9.4% to 10.3% compared to the same period in 2008. |
| • | Depreciation and amortization expense increased $1.6 million, compared to the same period in 2008, attributed to increased depreciation related to the $142.9 million of consolidated hotel capital expenditures incurred in 2008. |
| • | Other expenses increased $901,000, compared to the same period in 2008, primarily due to $381,000 of severance expenses from a reduction in the number of employees at our hotels and lease termination costs related to a $352,000 settlement to terminate one of our third-party restaurant lessees. |
| • | Net interest expense decreased $2.0 million compared to the same period in 2008. This decrease is primarily attributable to an 81 basis point decrease in the average interest rate for our floating rate debt, partially offset by a $50 million increase in our average debt outstanding, due in part to our new term loan. |
| • | Charges related to debt extinguishment. We repaid the $128 million balance under our line of credit and terminated this facility. In the second quarter of 2009, we wrote off deferred loan costs of $594,000 associated with the termination of this facility. |
| • | Equity in loss of unconsolidated entities was $261,000, compared to $2.3 million of equity in income from unconsolidated entities from the second quarter of 2008. This shift is primarily attributed to decreases in revenue at our unconsolidated hotels. |
Comparison of the Six Months Ended June 30, 2009 and 2008
For the six months ended June 30, 2009, we recorded a $51.6 million net loss applicable to common stockholders, or $0.82 per share, compared to an $8.6 million net loss applicable to common stockholders, or $0.15 per share, for the same period in 2008. The increase in current year loss is attributable primarily to a 20.3% decrease in revenue compared to the same period in 2008. We were able to limit our margin loss in the first six months of 2009 compared to the first six months of 2008, primarily by reducing hotel labor costs by $23.0 million and reducing other costs associated with non-critical functions. Hotel expenses decreased 15.0% compared to first six months of 2008. The current year loss included impairment charges of $3.5 million ($1.4 million related to a consolidated hotel and $2.1 million related to an unconsolidated entity), while the prior year loss included a $17.1 million impairment charge on two consolidated hotels and a $3.1 million gain related to involuntary conversions from the final settlement of 2005 hurricane claims.
In the first six months of 2009:
| • | Total revenue was $476.9 million, a 20.3% decrease compared to the same period in 2008. The decrease in revenue is attributed principally to a 20.1% decrease in RevPAR, which was driven by a 10.8% decrease in occupancy and a 10.4% decrease in ADR. |
| • | Hotel departmental expenses decreased $31.8 million (16.1%) compared to the same period in 2008. As a percentage of total revenue, hotel departmental expenses increased from 33.0% to 34.7% compared to the same period in 2008. The $31.8 million expense reduction reflects: (i) the 10.8% decrease in occupancy; (ii) a $16.5 million decrease in labor costs, which included permanent reductions related to a decrease in hotel employees; (iii) a decrease in non-critical room expenses, such as guest transportation, in-room amenities, bath linen quantities, and newspaper service; and (iv) menu modifications in food and beverage. |
| • | Other property related costs decreased $20.5 million (13.3%) compared to the same period in 2008, due to the decrease in revenues. As a percentage of total revenue, other property related costs increased from 25.7% to 27.9% compared to the same period in 2008. The $20.5 million expense reduction includes: (i) a $6.5 million decrease in labor costs; (ii) a $6.1 million decrease in marketing assessments, credit card commissions and frequent guest expense (all of which reflect the decrease in revenue); (iii) a $3.7 million decrease in repairs and maintenance, partially attributable to our recently completed renovation program; and (iv) reductions in other non-critical expenses. |
| • | Management and franchise fees decreased $9.0 million compared to the same period in 2008. As a percent of total revenue, franchise fees and base management fees remained essentially unchanged from 2008 to 2009 (both fees are based on a percentage of revenue). Incentive management fees decreased $3.7 million. |
| • | Taxes, insurance and lease expense decreased $8.1 million compared to the same period in 2008. This decrease was primarily related to a $7.0 million decrease in percentage rent, attributed to decreased revenue at our consolidated hotel lessees; a $975,000 decrease in property and general liability insurance, attributed to improved insurance rates and liability claims experience; and a $2.6 million decrease in state franchise taxes and land leases, attributed to decreases in revenue. This was partially offset by a $2.5 million increase in real estate and other taxes, attributed to reduced property tax accruals in 2008. Taxes, insurance and lease expense increased as a percentage of total revenue from 9.7% to 10.5% compared to the same period in 2008. |
| • | Depreciation and amortization expense increased $5.2 million, compared to the same period in 2008, attributed to increased depreciation related to the $142.9 million of consolidated hotel capital expenditures incurred in 2008. |
| • | Impairment charge. In 2008 we identified eight hotels as candidates to be sold. We recorded an impairment charge of $1.4 million for one of these hotels in the first quarter of 2009 and $17.1 million for two of these hotels in the first quarter of 2008 under the provisions of SFAS 144. |
| • | Other expenses increased $664,000, compared to the same period in 2008, primarily due to $526,000 of severance expenses from a reduction in the number of employees at our hotels and lease termination costs related to a $352,000 settlement to terminate one of our third-party restaurant lessees. |
| • | Net interest expense decreased $6.7 million compared to the same period in 2008. This decrease is primarily attributable to a 127 basis point decrease in our average interest rate for our floating rate debt, offset by a $71 million increase in our average debt outstanding, due in part to our new term loan. |
| • | Charges related to debt extinguishment. We repaid the $128 million balance under our line of credit and terminated this facility. In the second quarter of 2009, we wrote off deferred loan costs of $594,000 associated with the termination of this facility. |
| • | Equity in loss of unconsolidated entities was $3.7 million compared to $1.7 million of equity in income from unconsolidated entities from the second quarter of 2008. This shift is primarily attributed to $2.1 million impairment charge on one of our unconsolidated investments and decreased revenue at our unconsolidated hotels. |
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We refer in this report to certain “non-GAAP financial measures.” These measures, including Hotel EBITDA and Hotel EBITDA margin, are measures of our financial performance that are not calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. The following tables reconcile these non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measure. Immediately following the reconciliations, we include a discussion of why we believe these measures are useful supplemental measures of our performance and the limitations of such measures.
The following tables detail our computation of Hotel EBITDA, Hotel EBITDA margin, hotel operating expenses and the reconciliation of hotel operating expenses to total operating expenses with respect to our Consolidated Hotels at the dates presented.

Hotel EBITDA and Hotel EBITDA Margin
Hotel EBITDA and Hotel EBITDA margin are commonly used measures of performance in the hotel industry and give investors a more complete understanding of the operating results over which our individual hotels and operating managers have direct control. We believe that Hotel EBITDA and Hotel EBITDA margin are useful to investors by providing greater transparency with respect to two significant measures used by us in our financial and operational decision-making. Additionally, using these measures facilitates comparisons with other hotel REITs and hotel owners. We present Hotel EBITDA and Hotel EBITDA margin by eliminating from continuing operations all revenues and expenses not directly associated with hotel operations including corporate-level expenses, depreciation and amortization and expenses related to our capital structure. We eliminate corporate-level costs and expenses because we believe property-level results provide investors with supplemental information into the ongoing operational performance of our hotels and the effectiveness of management on a property-level basis. We eliminate depreciation and amortization because, even though depreciation and amortization are property-level expenses, we do not believe that these non-cash expenses, which are based on historical cost accounting for real estate assets and implicitly assume that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time, accurately reflect an adjustment in the value of our assets. We also eliminate consolidated percentage rent paid to unconsolidated entities, which is effectively eliminated by noncontrolling interests and equity in income from unconsolidated subsidiaries, and include the cost of unconsolidated taxes, insurance and lease expense, to reflect the entire operating costs applicable to our hotels.
Limitations of Non-GAAP Measures
Our management and Board of Directors use Hotel EBITDA and Hotel EBITDA margin to evaluate the performance of our hotels and to facilitate comparisons between us and other hotel owners, in evaluating hotel-level performance and the operating efficiency of our hotel managers.
The use of these non-GAAP financial measures has certain limitations. Hotel EBITDA and Hotel EBITDA margin, as presented by us, may not be comparable to Hotel EBITDA and Hotel EBITDA margin as calculated by other companies. These measures do not reflect certain expenses that we incurred and will incur, such as depreciation and amortization, interest and capital expenditures. Management compensates for these limitations by separately considering the impact of these excluded items to the extent they are material to operating decisions or assessments of our operating performance. Our reconciliations to the most comparable GAAP financial measures, and our consolidated statements of operations and cash flows, include interest expense, capital expenditures, and other excluded items, all of which should be considered when evaluating our performance, as well as the usefulness of our non-GAAP financial measures.
These non-GAAP financial measures are used in addition to and in conjunction with results presented in accordance with GAAP. They should not be considered as alternatives to operating profit, cash flow from operations, or any other operating performance measure prescribed by GAAP. Hotel EBITDA and Hotel EBITDA margin reflect additional ways of viewing our operations that we believe, when viewed with our GAAP results and the reconciliations to the corresponding GAAP financial measures, provide a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business than could be obtained absent this disclosure. Management strongly encourages investors to review our financial information in its entirety and not to rely on a single financial measure.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Operating Activities
During 2009, hotel operations have provided most of the cash needed to meet our cash requirements including paying normal-course, capital expenditures. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, cash provided by operating activities, consisting primarily of hotel operations, was $46.6 million. Cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2009 decreased by $51.0 million, compared to the same period in 2008, due primarily to declines in operations at our hotels. At June 30, 2009, we had $118.5 million of cash on hand, including approximately $44 million held under management agreements to meet working capital needs.
The overall weakness in the U.S. economy, particularly the turmoil in the credit markets, has resulted in considerable negative pressure on travel spending. As a result, lodging demand continued to be weak in the second quarter and contributed to further reductions of our Consolidated Hotel RevPAR. We anticipate that lodging demand will not improve, and may weaken further, until economic trends (e.g., employment, consumer confidence, manufacturing production and illiquid credit markets) improve. As a result, we expect RevPAR in 2009 to decline by 15% to 17% compared to 2008, and we expect approximately $97 to $105 million of cash provided by operating activities for 2009. We are subject to increases in hotel operating expenses, including wage and benefit costs, repair and maintenance expenses, utilities and insurance expenses that can fluctuate disproportionately to revenues. Some of these operating expenses are difficult to predict and control, which lends volatility in our operating results. As a result of the current year decline in RevPAR and weak travel demand, we have implemented extensive cost containment initiatives at our hotels, including reducing headcount and improving productivity and energy efficiency. If RevPAR continues to decrease and/or Hotel EBITDA margins shrink, our operations, earnings and/or cash flow could suffer a material adverse effect.
Investing Activities
For the six months ended June 30, 2009, cash used in investing activities decreased $9.5 million, compared to the same period in 2008, due primarily to reduced spending on hotel capital expenditures.
We made extensive capital investments in our hotels from 2006 to 2008, and now nearly all of our hotels are renovated. We expect to spend a normal amount of capital going forward to maintain the quality of our hotels. As a result, we have significantly curtailed capital spending for 2009. In 2009 we plan to complete approximately $84 million of capital improvements at our hotels. During the six months ended June 30, 2009, we spent approximately $45.5 million on capital improvements at our hotels (of which $25 million was spent on renovation and redevelopment projects).
Our liquidity-preservation efforts also extend to acquisitions and redevelopment projects. We have not acquired any hotels during 2008 and 2009 and do not expect to acquire any hotels during the remainder of this year. We have also postponed spending on redevelopment projects, other than to advance ongoing approval and entitlement processes.
In order to enhance long-term shareholder value, as part of our strategic plan (as in the past and as market conditions allow), we sell lower-growth hotels that no longer meet our investment criteria, thereby freeing our capital for redeployment (e.g., reduce overall leverage, acquire other hotels or invest in other existing FelCor properties). We currently have five Consolidated Hotels identified for sale, but do not expect to sell these hotels during 2009. We expect to identify additional hotels for sale as the hotel transaction market improves. Among other factors, we evaluate demand and supply trends for each hotel, portfolio concentration risk and future capital needs.
Financing Activities
For the six months ended June 30, 2009, cash provided by financing activities increased by $95.9 million compared to the same period in 2008, due primarily to our new $200 million secured term loan. During 2009, we will pay $15 million in normally occurring principal payments, which have been and will be funded from operating cash flow and borrowings.
We suspended payment of our common dividend in December 2008 and our preferred dividends in March 2009 (we paid approximately $10 million in aggregate preferred dividends in January 2009). We do not expect to make any further common or preferred dividend payments during 2009. Dividends are not paid unless declared by our Board of Directors; however, unpaid preferred dividends continue to accrue, and accrued and current preferred dividends must be paid in full prior to reinstatement of our common dividend. Our Board of Directors will determine whether to declare future dividends based upon various factors, including operating results, economic conditions, other operating trends, our financial condition including the outcome of refinancing our 2010 and 2011 debt maturities and capital requirements, as well as minimum REIT distribution requirements.
After accounting for preferred dividends paid in January 2009, 2009 capital expenditures, repayment and termination of our line of credit, our recently-funded $200 million secured term loan, and after paying normally occurring principal payments, we expect 2009 cash flow to be between $48 million and $56 million.
The capital markets, and our access to financing on reasonably acceptable terms or not at all, have historically been affected by external events and circumstances, such as recessions, major bank failures, rising unemployment, shrinking GDP, acts of terrorism, etc. Events, or circumstances of similar magnitude or impact, could adversely affect the availability and cost of our capital going forward. In addition, if the current economic recession continues, our operating cash flow and the availability and cost of capital for our business will be adversely affected.
Line of Credit. In June 2009, we repaid the $128 million balance under our line of credit, which was then terminated. By terminating our line of credit, we eliminated certain restrictive corporate debt covenants.
Mortgage Debt. At June 30, 2009, we had a total of $1.1 billion of mortgage debt, secured by 53 of our consolidated hotels with an aggregate net book value of $1.6 billion. Our mortgage debt is recourse solely to the specific hotels securing the debt, except in the case of fraud, misapplication of funds and other customary recourse carve-out provisions. Much of our hotel mortgage debt contains provisions allowing for the substitution of collateral upon satisfaction of certain conditions. Most of our mortgage debt is prepayable, subject to various prepayment, yield maintenance or defeasance obligations.
Loans secured by certain of our hotels provide for lock-box arrangements under certain circumstances. We generally are permitted to retain an amount required to cover our budgeted hotel operating expenses, taxes, insurance and capital expenditure reserves but the remaining revenues would become subject to a lock-box arrangement if a specified debt service coverage ratio is not met. These hotels currently exceed the applicable minimum debt service coverage ratios; however, the lock-box provisions remain in place until the loans are repaid.
Recent Financings.
| • | In June 2009, we obtained a $200 million non-recourse term loan secured by nine hotels. This loan bears interest at LIBOR (subject to a 2% floor) plus 350 basis points, and initially matures in 2011, but can extended for as many as two years, subject to satisfying certain conditions that we expect to satisfy. The proceeds from this new loan will be used for general corporate purposes. |
| • | In March 2009, we entered into a $120 million loan agreement with The Prudential Insurance Company of America secured by seven hotels. The proceeds of the loan were used to repay the balance of an existing loan secured by the same properties that would have matured on April 1, 2009. The new loan matures in 2014 and bears interest at 9.02%. |
Maturing Debt. We have two non-recourse mortgage loans with an aggregate principal amount of $14 million (each secured by one hotel) that matured in June 2009 but remain unpaid and are in default. Although we have sufficient liquidity to repay these loans, we believe that using our available cash, under current circumstances, to repay these loans may not be prudent. These loans are serviced by a third-party servicer on behalf of the investors in a larger pool of loans that includes these loans. That servicer would not engage in discussions with us to extend the maturity dates unless and until the loans were in default; consequently, we withheld payment and permitted the loans to go into default. We have now begun negotiations with the special servicer to extend the maturity of these loans. We can provide no assurances that we will be able to extend the maturity of these loans on acceptable terms. If we are unsuccessful in our efforts to extend the maturity of these loans, we have the right to repay the amounts outstanding under either or both loans (in which case, we could then sell or refinance the hotels now or in the future) or, in the alternative, allow the lenders to foreclose on either hotel or both hotels.
We have also begun preliminary discussions with various lenders to modify and/or refinance all of our debt that will mature in 2010 and 2011. Two pools of non-recourse mortgage loans, with a combined current balance of $275 million and secured by 14 of our hotels (eight of which are not cross-collateralized), are scheduled to mature in May 2010. With regard to these two loans, we believe that extending the maturity dates to align with the economic recovery, stabilized cash flows and an improved hotel transaction market is in the best interests of the lenders and FelCor. As a consequence, we intend to seek such extensions. In addition, we intend to discuss other loan modification options, as well as explore other refinancing opportunities and potential asset sales as a means of satisfying our obligations as they mature. There is no assurance that we will be successful in such negotiations or be able to obtain extensions or other modifications on acceptable terms.
Senior Notes. Our publicly-traded senior notes require that we satisfy total leverage, secured leverage and interest coverage tests and maintain a minimum amount of unencumbered assets in order to: (i) incur additional indebtedness except to refinance maturing debt with replacement debt, as defined under our indentures; (ii) pay dividends in excess of the minimum distributions required to meet the REIT qualification test; (iii) repurchase capital stock; or (iv) merge. We remain in compliance with those tests. Under the terms of one of our indentures, we are prohibited from repurchasing any of our capital stock, whether common or preferred, subject to certain exceptions, so long as our debt-to-EBITDA ratio, as defined in the indentures, exceeds 4.85 to 1, which it does at the date of this filing. In addition, if we were unable to continue to satisfy the debt incurrence test under the indentures governing our senior notes, we may be prohibited from, among other things, incurring any additional indebtedness, except under certain specific exceptions,or paying dividends on our preferred or common stock, except to the extent necessary to satisfy the REIT qualification requirement that we distribute currently at least 90% of our taxable income. Twenty of our hotels are currently unsecured by mortgage debt; these hotels account for $1.1 billion in gross asset value. Our senior notes are guaranteed by us, and payment of those obligations is currently secured by a pledge of our limited partnership interest in FelCor LP.
We have engaged in preliminary discussions with bankers regarding our options to refinance our publicly-traded notes, which mature in 2011 and represent $515 million of indebtedness, in the aggregate. These options may include repurchasing or replacing some or all of our outstanding notes through cash purchases in the open market, issuing new notes or exchanging existing notes for new debt securities in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. There is no assurance that we will be successful in such negotiations or be able to refinance our notes on acceptable terms. Such transactions, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, the resolution of our 2010 debt maturities, contractual restrictions and other factors. The amounts involved may be material.
Interest Rate Caps. To fulfill requirements under certain loans, we entered into interest rate cap agreements with aggregate notional amounts of $427.2 million at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008. These interest rate caps were not designated as hedges and had insignificant fair values at both June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, resulting in no significant net earnings impact.
Inflation
Operators of hotels, in general, possess the ability to adjust room rates daily to reflect the effects of inflation. Competition may, however, require us to reduce room rates in the near term and may limit our ability to raise room rates in the future. We are also subject to the risk that inflation will cause increases in hotel operating expenses disproportionately to revenues. If competition requires us to reduce room rates or limits our ability to raise room rates in the future, we may not be able to adjust our room rates to reflect the effects of inflation in full, in which case our operating results and liquidity could be adversely affected.
Seasonality
The lodging business is seasonal in nature. Generally, hotel revenues are greater in the second and third calendar quarters than in the first and fourth calendar quarters, although this may not be true for hotels in major tourist destinations. Revenues for hotels in tourist areas generally are substantially greater during tourist season than other times of the year. Seasonal variations in revenue at our hotels can be expected to cause quarterly fluctuations in our revenues. Quarterly earnings also may be adversely affected by events beyond our control, such as extreme weather conditions, economic factors and other considerations affecting travel. To the extent that cash flow from operations is insufficient during any quarter, due to temporary or seasonal fluctuations in revenues, we may utilize cash on hand or borrowings to satisfy our obligations.
