The Westin St. Francis Limited Partnership owns and operates The Westin St. Francis in downtown San Francisco, California, and The Westin Chicago Limited Partnership owns and operates The Westin Michigan Avenue, Chicago in downtown Chicago, Illinois (individually a "Hotel", collectively the "Hotels"). All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated. The consolidated financial statements and related information for the periods ended March 31, 1998 and March 31, 1997 are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the results of these interim periods have been included. All such interim adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The results of operations for the periods ended March 31, 1998 and March 31, 1997 should not be regarded as indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. (2) FURTHER INFORMATION Reference is made to "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" contained in the Partnership's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed for 1997 for information regarding significant accounting policies, Partnership organization, restricted cash, accrued expenses, long-term obligations, operating leases, contingencies and subsequent events, and related party transactions. -7- WESTIN HOTELS LIMITED PARTNERSHIP AND SUBSIDIARIES MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS GENERAL The primary market focus of The Westin St. Francis and The Westin Michigan Avenue, Chicago (individually a "Hotel", collectively the "Hotels") is on business travelers, tourists, conventions and other groups. Both The Westin St. Francis and The Westin Michigan Avenue, Chicago experience seasonal trends, with the lowest occupancy levels occurring during the first quarter followed by higher occupancies during the last three quarters of the year. Westin Realty Corp. is the sole general partner of Westin Hotels Limited Partnership (the "Partnership"). St. Francis Hotel Corporation and 909 North Michigan Avenue Corporation are the respective general partners of the subsidiary limited partnerships, The Westin St. Francis Limited Partnership and The Westin Chicago Limited Partnership (the "Hotel Partnerships"), that directly own and operate the Hotels. As of January 2, 1998, each general partner (individually a "General Partner," collectively the "General Partners") is a subsidiary of Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Inc. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Three Months Ended Consolidated March 31, ------------------- 1998 1997 ------- ------ REVPAR (Revenue per available room) $116.08 $95.53 Profit Margin as a Percentage of Revenues: Rooms 71.0% 69.9% Food and Beverage 24.0% 21.1% EBITDA (In thousands) $ 7,245 $4,321 EBITDA is net earnings before interest expense, depreciation and amortization, and minority interests. The General Partner considers EBITDA to be a measure of the Partnership's operating performance due to the significance of the Partnership's long-lived assets and because such data can be used to measure the Partnership's ability to service debt, fund capital expenditures and pay cash distributions. EBITDA is not intended to represent cash flow from operations as defined by generally accepted accounting principles and such information should not be considered as an alternative to net income, cash flow from operations or any other performance measure prescribed by generally accepted accounting principles. Three Months Ended 1998 Compared With 1997 - ------------------------------------------ Operating profits for the first quarter of 1998 increased $2.4 million over the first quarter of 1997 to $4.2 million. These results were due primarily to strong increases in REVPAR and food and beverage profits. EBITDA for the first quarter of 1998 increased 67.7% to $7.2 million from $4.3 million in 1997. Consolidated rooms revenues for the first three months of 1998 increased $3.6 million or 21.5% when compared to the same 1997 period. Consolidated REVPAR for the three months ended March 31, 1998 increased 21.5% to $116.08 over the same period in 1997 due to a 6.3 percentage point increase in occupancy to 71.2% and a 10.8% increase in average room rate to $163.03. The Westin St. Francis contributed $3.1 million to the increase in rooms revenue over the first quarter of 1997 and its REVPAR of $143.32 was 25.7% greater due to increases in average room rates and increases in room nights in both the group and transient business segments, plus the addition of airline crew rooms in 1998. The Westin Michigan Avenue, Chicago contributed $0.5 million to the increase in rooms revenue and its REVPAR of $72.32 was 9.7% greater due primarily to increases in room rates. Comparing the first quarter of 1998 to that of 1997, -8- total occupancies at The Westin Michigan Avenue, Chicago were up overall due to the increase in airline crew rooms which offset the declines in occupancies in both the group and transient segments. At The Westin St. Francis, the average room rate for the first quarter of 1998 increased 10.6% over the first quarter of 1997 to $177.63 and the occupancy rate increased from 70.9% to 80.7%. At the Westin Michigan Avenue, Chicago, the average room rate increased 8.4% to $129.21 and the occupancy rate increased slightly from 55.3% to 56.0%. Consolidated rooms profits for the first quarter of 1998 increased 23.4%, or $2.7 million to $14.3 million, over the first quarter of 1997. The Westin St. Francis' rooms profit of $10.9 million was $2.4 million greater than first quarter 1997 due to increased REVPAR and effective cost controls. This represents a 1.8 percentage point increase in The Westin St. Francis' rooms profit margin over that of the same 1997 quarter. The Westin Michigan Avenue, Chicago's rooms profit of $3.4 million was $0.3 million greater than first quarter 1997 due to improved yield management. This represents a 1.0 percentage point decrease in The Westin Michigan Avenue, Chicago's rooms profit margin over that of the same 1997 quarter. Consolidated food and beverage revenues of $8.6 million in the first three months of 1998 represent a $1.1 million, or 15.2%, increase over those in the first three months of 1997. The $0.9 million increase in food and beverage revenues at The Westin St. Francis was a direct result of the increased banquet business associated with the increase in group business. The Westin Michigan Avenue, Chicago reported a $0.2 million increase, or 10.6% over the first three months of 1997. Consolidated food and beverage profit of $2.1 million for the first quarter of 1998 is a 31.3% increase over the same 1997 period. Both Hotels credit decreased food and beverage and labor costs plus increased banquet business, particularly at The Westin St. Francis, for this improvement. The Hotels' other operating departments reported consolidated operating profit of $2.1 million for the period ended March 31, 1998, which was $0.5 million greater than that reported for the same 1997 period. Both Hotels reported increased telephone and garage revenues and higher rental income from subtenant leases. The most significant rise in operating expenses other than rooms, food and beverage and other operating departments for the first quarter of 1998 was depreciation and amortization, which increased $0.5 million over the first quarter of 1997, due to the addition of property and equipment. Management fees increased $0.4 million over the prior year's first quarter due to improved Partnership Net Operating Cash Flow, as defined. Advertising and business promotion expense was $0.4 million higher than the first quarter of 1997 due to increased advertising and marketing fees. There were slight decreases in both property maintenance and energy and local taxes and insurance. Interest expense decreased $0.1 million over the first quarter of 1997 due to the mortgage note restructuring which resulted in a decrease in the effective interest rate from 8.55% per annum to 8.06% per annum from the date of the agreement through maturity. Liquidity and Capital Resources - ------------------------------- As of March 31, 1998, the Partnership had cash and cash equivalents of $11.3 million, a $4.4 million decrease from December 31, 1997. Total net cash provided by operating activities for the first quarter of 1998 equaled $2.2 million. Pursuant to the Restructuring Agreement, the Partnership is required to make quarterly deposits to the FF&E Reserve Accounts of 5.0% of gross revenue through maturity of the Mortgage Loan in 2006 to fund capital improvements. The Partnership deposited $2.5 million in the FF&E Accounts on April 3, 1998 and $1.0 million on April 27, 1998, which exceeded the minimum deposit requirement. During the three months ended March 31, 1998, The Westin St. Francis and The Westin Michigan Avenue, Chicago expended $0.9 million and $5.1 million, respectively, from their FF&E Reserve Accounts. The combined balances of the Hotels' FF&E Reserve Accounts are included in Restricted Cash on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Restructuring Agreement terms require that both Hotels make deposits into Tax Escrow Accounts for payment of real and personal property taxes. The combined balances of these Tax Escrow Accounts are included in cash and cash equivalents under current assets on the consolidated balance sheets. -9- Capital expenditures in 1998 will total approximately $15.1 million. The Westin St. Francis will spend approximately $7.0 million on capital improvements in 1998. Approximately $1.1 million is to be spent on guest room renovations, particularly the main building bathrooms; $3.0 million on food and beverage facilities, particularly the conversion of Club Oz to a banquet room; $2.0 million on other areas, such as a health club, lobby carpet and stone work, and the arcade men's room, and $0.9 million on the facade project. The facade restoration is now scheduled to be completed in 1999. The Westin Michigan Avenue, Chicago expects to spend $8.1 million for capital improvements during 1998. In 1998 the Hotel is scheduled to complete the extensive renovations to the tower rooms, started in mid-December 1997, which is intended to completely update and raise the caliber of the rooms. During 1998, the Hotel will commence the conversion of 18 parlor suites into rentable guest rooms, which will increase the guest room inventory, and replace all carpet, vinyl, paint and light fixtures in all hallways, for a total cost of $7.1 million. In addition, $0.3 million will be spent on partial roof replacement, $0.4 million on other areas, such as updating EDP and engineering systems, and $0.3 million for minibars and other food and beverage equipment. All capital projects have been approved by the Lender. The Mortgage Loans, as restructured, provided for the suspension of principal payments through December 1, 1998. Under the terms of the Mortgage Loan, the Partnership is scheduled to make interest payments of $10.8 million in 1998. The General Partner is exploring alternative financing for the long-term obligation to the General Partner through a second mortgage to obtain a reduced interest rate. At this time, the General Partner anticipates that the cash flow from operations and the corresponding contributions to the FF&E Reserve Accounts will provide adequate funding for 1998 capital expenditures and interest payments on the Mortgage Loans. In addition, barring any unforeseen adverse occurrence, the General Partner anticipates that the Partnership will be in a position to continue distributions to the limited partners at an annual level of $95.00 per Unit in 1998 and thereafter. Future distributions will be based on available Net Cash Flow and are dependent upon the Net Cash Flow generated by the Hotels and the adequacy of cash reserves. The amount of each distribution will be determined by the General Partner at the end of each calendar quarter according to the terms of the Partnership agreement and will be distributed to the limited partners within 75 days of the end of the quarter. A cash distribution of $23.75 per Unit was paid to the limited partners on March 13, 1998. The Board of Directors of the General Partner has authorized a cash distribution of $23.75 per Unit to be paid to the limited partners on June 12, 1998. When the Partnership was formed in 1986, it was anticipated that a sale or refinancing of the Hotels would be explored after eight years of Partnership operations. Beginning with 1994, the Partnership agreement directed the General Partner to actively review opportunities to sell or refinance the Hotel properties on behalf of the Partnership. During 1994 the General Partner emphasized restructuring the debt to stabilize both Hotels and to allow them to remain competitive in their respective markets. The General Partner will review the opportunities to sell or refinance the Hotel properties when it reasonably believes that such action is in the best interest of the Partnership. As the real estate market for upscale hotel properties continues to improve, the General Partner will monitor the market conditions for appropriate opportunities to sell or refinance the properties. By the end of 2001, the General Partner must use its best efforts to sell or refinance the Hotel properties. ****** PART II. OTHER INFORMATION -------------------------- ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION Since our letter to the limited partners dated February 23, 1998, we are aware of additional offers to purchase Units of Westin Hotels Limited Partnership that have been mailed to the limited partners.
