Comparable Hotel Property Level Operating Results
We present certain operating results for our hotels, such as hotel revenues, expenses, food and beverage profit, and EBITDA (and the related margins), on a comparable
hotel, or "same store", basis as supplemental information for our investors. Our comparable hotel results present operating results for our hotels without giving effect to
dispositions or properties that experienced closures due to renovations or property damage, as discussed in "Comparable Hotel Operating Statistics and Results" above.
We present comparable hotel EBITDA to help us and our investors evaluate the ongoing operating performance of our comparable hotels after removing the impact of the
Company's capital structure (primarily interest expense) and its asset base (primarily depreciation and amortization expense). Corporate-level costs and expenses also are
removed to arrive at property-level results. We believe these property-level results provide investors with supplemental information about the ongoing operating
performance of our comparable hotels. Comparable hotel results are presented both by location and for the Company's properties in the aggregate. We eliminate from
our comparable hotel level operating results severance costs related to broad-based and significant property-level reconfiguration that is not considered to be within the
normal course of business, as we believe this elimination provides useful supplemental information that is beneficial to an investor's understanding of our ongoing
operating performance. We also eliminate depreciation and amortization expense because, even though depreciation and amortization expense are property-level
expenses, these non-cash expenses, which are based on historical cost accounting for real estate assets, implicitly assume that the value of real estate assets diminishes
predictably over time. As noted earlier, because real estate values historically have risen or fallen with market conditions, many real estate industry investors have
considered presentation of historical cost accounting for operating results to be insufficient.
Limitations on Comparable Hotel Property Level Operating Results
Because of the elimination of corporate-level costs and expenses, gains or losses on disposition, certain severance expenses and depreciation and amortization expense,
the comparable hotel operating results we present do not represent our total revenues, expenses, operating profit or net income and should not be used to evaluate our
performance as a whole. 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 condensed consolidated statements of operations include such amounts, all of which should be
considered by investors when evaluating our performance.
We present these hotel operating results on a comparable hotel basis because we believe that doing so provides investors and management with useful information for
evaluating the period-to-period performance of our hotels and facilitates comparisons with other hotel REITs and hotel owners. In particular, these measures assist
management and investors in distinguishing whether increases or decreases in revenues and/or expenses are due to growth or decline of operations at comparable hotels
(which represent the vast majority of our portfolio) or from other factors. While management believes that presentation of comparable hotel results is a supplemental
measure that provides useful information in evaluating our ongoing performance, this measure is not used to allocate resources or to assess the operating performance of
each of our hotels, as these decisions are based on data for individual hotels and are not based on comparable hotel results in the aggregate. For these reasons, we
believe comparable hotel operating results, when combined with the presentation of GAAP operating profit, revenues and expenses, provide useful information to
investors and management.
