  • Host Hotels Total revenue decreased 16.8% to $1,331 million for the fourth quarter of 2009 compared to the same period in 2008 and decreased 19.1% to $4,158 million for full year 2009 compared to the full year 2008.

    Host Hotels & Resorts, Inc. (NYSE:HST) , the nation's largest lodging real estate investment trust (REIT), today announced its results of operations for the fourth quarter and for the full year ended December 31, 2009.

    • Total revenue decreased 16.8% to $1,331 million for the fourth quarter of 2009 compared to the same period in 2008 and decreased 19.1% to $4,158 million for full year 2009 compared to the full year 2008.

    • Net loss was $72 million for the fourth quarter of 2009 compared to net income of $111 million for the fourth quarter of 2008. For the full year 2009, net loss was $258 million compared to net income of $414 million for the full year 2008. Loss per diluted share was $.12 for the fourth quarter of 2009 compared to earnings per diluted share of $.18 in 2008. For the full year 2009, loss per diluted share was $.45 compared to earnings per diluted share of $.72 for the full year 2008.
    Operating results for 2009 were affected by non-cash impairment charges in the first half of 2009 and a fourth quarter accrual for a potential litigation loss, partially offset by gains associated with hotel dispositions and debt extinguishments. The net effect of these items was a decrease in earnings of $39 million, or $.07 per diluted share for the fourth quarter of 2009 and a decrease in earnings of $131 million, or $.23 per diluted share, for full year 2009. Operating results for full year 2008 include net gains on dispositions of $22 million, or $.04 per diluted share. No similar transactions occurred in the fourth quarter of 2008.

    • Funds from Operations (FFO) per diluted share was $.18 for the fourth quarter of 2009 compared to $.52 for the fourth quarter of 2008. For full year 2009, FFO per diluted share was $.51 compared to $1.71 for full year 2008. The net effect of the above transactions affecting operating results also decreased FFO per diluted share by $.06 and $.28 for the fourth quarter and full year 2009, respectively. FFO per diluted share was not affected by similar transactions in 2008.

    • Earnings and FFO per diluted share for all periods presented also include non-cash interest expense related to the Company's exchangeable debentures in accordance with accounting requirements adopted on January 1, 2009. The increase to interest expense was $8 million and $9 million in the fourth quarter of 2009 and 2008, respectively, and $27 million and $30 million for the full year 2009 and 2008, respectively.

    • Adjusted EBITDA, which is Earnings before Interest Expense, Income Taxes, Depreciation, Amortization and other items, was $229 million for the fourth quarter 2009 compared to $414 million for the fourth quarter 2008. For full year 2009, adjusted EBITDA was $798 million compared to $1365 million for 2008. Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter and full year 2009 has been decreased by approximately $41 million due to the fourth quarter accrual of a potential litigation loss.

    For further detail of the transactions affecting net income, earnings per diluted share and FFO per diluted share, refer to the notes to the "Reconciliation of Net Income to EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and FFO per Diluted Share."

    Adjusted EBITDA, FFO per diluted share and comparable hotel adjusted operating profit margins (discussed below) are non-GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) financial measures within the meaning of the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). See the discussion included in this press release for information regarding these non-GAAP financial measures.

    OPERATING RESULTS

    Comparable hotel RevPAR decreased 14.6% and 19.9% for the fourth quarter and full year 2009 compared to 2008. Comparable hotel adjusted operating profit margins decreased 430 basis points and 520 basis points for the fourth quarter and full year 2009, respectively. For further detail, see "Notes to the Financial Information."

    BALANCE SHEET

    As of December 31, 2009, the Company had over $1.6 billion of cash and cash equivalents and $600 million of available capacity under its credit facility. During the fourth quarter, the Company issued $400 million of 2.5% Exchangeable Senior Debentures due 2029 and received net proceeds of approximately $391 million, which it used in the first quarter of 2010, along with available cash, to redeem the remaining $346 million of the 7% Series M senior notes and repay the $124 million mortgage on the Atlanta Marriott Marquis. As a result of these two transactions, the Company reduced its outstanding debt by $470 million to approximately $5.4 billion and currently has approximately $1.2 billion of available cash and cash equivalents.

    Beginning in August of 2009, the Company initiated a continuous equity offering program under which it may sell up to $400 million in shares of common stock in at-the-market transactions over time. The Company issued approximately 15 million shares of common stock for net proceeds of $157 million in the fourth quarter at an average net price per share of approximately $10.49. Since the inception of the program, the Company has issued nearly 28 million shares for net proceeds of over $287 million at an average net price per share of approximately $10.27.

    CAPITAL EXPENDITURES

    Capital expenditures totaled approximately $85 million and $340 million for the fourth quarter and full year 2009, respectively. Return on investment (ROI) and repositioning projects accounted for approximately $35 million and $176 million for the fourth quarter and full year 2009, respectively, of these expenditures. The Company expects to spend approximately $270 million to $300 million in capital expenditures in 2010.

    DIVIDEND

    Beginning with the first quarter of 2010, the Company intends to reinstate the payment of a quarterly dividend on its common stock and to pay a $.01 per share dividend in the first quarter. The Company paid a special common dividend of $.25 per share on December 18, 2009 to stockholders of record as of November 6, 2009, of which approximately 10% was paid with cash and approximately 90% was paid with shares of Host common stock. Based on stockholder elections and the cash requirement, the special dividend consisted of approximately $15.6 million of cash and approximately 13.4 million shares of common stock valued at a per share price of approximately $10.46. The Company intends to continue paying the cash dividend on its preferred stock.

    LITIGATION LOSS

    On February 8, 2010, the Company received an adverse jury verdict in a trial in the 166th Judicial District Court of Bexar County, Texas involving the sale of land encumbered by a ground lease for the San Antonio Marriott Rivercenter hotel. The jury found that the Company intentionally interfered with the attempted sale by Keystone-Texas Property Holding Corporation of the land under the San Antonio Marriott Rivercenter and slandered title to the property. The jury awarded damages that range from $42 million to $56 million, including statutory interest, as well as exemplary damages on the latter claim. The verdict is not yet final and is subject to post-trial motions. Based on the range of possible outcomes, the Company accrued an additional potential litigation loss of approximately $41 million in the fourth quarter consistent with generally accepted accounting principles. The Company believes that a number of legal rulings decided by the trial court were in error and had an adverse effect on the jury's verdict. The Company intends to vigorously pursue these issues in post trial motions and, if necessary, on appeal.

    2010 OUTLOOK

    While it appears that the economy has started to recover, we believe that several factors, including uncertainty in the strength and sustainability of the economic recovery and continued high unemployment, will continue to negatively affect lodging industry fundamentals in 2010. Additionally, the uncertainty in the economic climate and its effect on business and leisure travel, combined with shorter booking lead times, continue to inhibit the Company's ability to predict future operating results. However, assuming a decrease in comparable hotel RevPAR in the range of 0% to 5% for 2010, the Company would anticipate that 2010 operating profit margins under GAAP would range from an increase of 100 basis points to a decrease of 170 basis points and its comparable hotel adjusted operating profit margins would decrease approximately 175 basis points to 350 basis points. Based upon these parameters, the Company estimates the following would occur:

    • loss per diluted share should be approximately $.32 to $.49;

    • net loss should be approximately $207 million to $315 million;

    • FFO per diluted share should be approximately $.57 to $.41 (which has been reduced by $.01 per share for debt prepayment costs for the Series M senior notes repaid in early 2010); and

    • Adjusted EBITDA should be approximately $750 million to $635 million.

    (a) Our consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2009 has been
    prepared without audit. Certain information and footnote disclosures
    normally included in financial statements presented in accordance with
    GAAP have been omitted.

    (b) As a result of the adoption of a new accounting requirement for
    convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash upon conversion
    (including partial cash settlement) on January 1, 2009, we separately
    account for the liability and equity components of our Exchangeable Senior
    Debentures (the "Debentures"). The principal balance shown has been
    reduced by $124 million and $76 million as of December 31, 2009 and
    December 31, 2008, respectively, with an offsetting increase to equity.
    The face amount of the Debentures was $1,251 million at December 31, 2009.
    See notes to "Other Financial and Operating Data," for further discussion.

    (c) As a result of the adoption of a new accounting requirement on January
    1, 2009, non-controlling interests of other consolidated partnerships
    (previously referred to as "Interest of minority partners of other
    consolidated partnerships") are now included as a separate component of
    equity.

    (a) Our consolidated statements of operations presented above have been
    prepared without audit. Certain information and footnote disclosures
    normally included in financial statements presented in accordance with
    GAAP have been omitted.

    (b) During 2009, we identified several properties to be tested for
    impairment based on certain triggering events, as prescribed by GAAP. We
    tested these properties for impairment based on management's estimate of
    expected future undiscounted cash flows over our expected holding period.
    As a result, we recorded non-cash impairment charges totaling $131 million
    and $3 million in 2009 and 2008, respectively, based on the difference
    between the properties' fair values and their carrying amounts.
    $66 million has been included in depreciation expense and $31 million was
    included in discontinued operations for full year 2009. The remaining
    $34 million of impairment charges was for our investment in the European
    joint venture, which is included in equity in earnings (losses) of
    affiliates.

    (c) Corporate and other expenses include a fourth quarter expense accrual
    of approximately $41 million for a potential litigation loss.

    (d) Interest expense includes $8 million and $9 million for the fourth
    quarter of 2009 and 2008, respectively, and $27 million and $30 million
    for full year 2009 and 2008, respectively, in connection with the adoption
    of a new accounting requirement regarding the Debentures on January 1,
    2009. Interest expense for full year 2009 also includes a $3 million gain
    on the first quarter repurchase of a portion of the 3.25% Exchangeable
    Senior Debentures issued in April 2004 (the "2004 Debentures") and a
    $2 million gain on the third and fourth quarter repurchases of a portion
    of the 2.625% Exchangeable Senior Debentures (the "2007 Debentures"). See
    notes to the "Reconciliation of Net Income to EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and
    FFO per Diluted Share" for further discussion.

    (e) As a result of the adoption of a new accounting requirement on January
    1, 2009, net income attributable to non-controlling interests of Host LP
    and of other non-consolidated partnerships are no longer included in the
    determination of net income. Prior periods have been revised to reflect
    this presentation. The net income attributable to non-controlling
    interests is included in the net income available to common stockholders;
    therefore, the implementation of this requirement had no effect on our
    basic or diluted earnings per share calculation.

    (a) During the first quarter of 2009 and fourth quarter 2008, we
    repurchased $75 million and $100 million face amount, respectively, of the
    2004 Debentures with a carrying value of $72 million and $96 million for
    approximately $69 million and $82 million, respectively. The adjustments
    to dilutive earnings per common share related to the repurchased 2004
    Debentures include a $3 million and $14 million gain, respectively, net of
    interest expense on the repurchased Debentures.

    (b) Dilutive securities may include shares granted under comprehensive
    stock plans, preferred OP Units held by minority partners, exchangeable
    debt securities and other non-controlling interests that have the option
    to convert their limited partnership interests to common OP Units. No
    effect is shown for any securities that are anti-dilutive.

    (c) Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income
    available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares
    of common stock outstanding. Diluted earnings per common share is computed
    by dividing net income available to common stockholders, as adjusted for
    potentially dilutive securities, by the weighted average number of shares
    of common stock outstanding plus potentially dilutive securities.

    (d) See notes to the "Reconciliation of Net Income to EBITDA, Adjusted
    EBITDA and FFO per Diluted Share" for information on significant items
    affecting diluted earnings per common share for which no adjustments were
    made.

    ===== ===== ===== =====


    (a) See the notes to the financial information for discussion of non-GAAP
    measures, reporting periods and comparable hotel results.

    (b) Operating profit margins are calculated by dividing the applicable
    operating profit by the related revenue amount. GAAP margins are
    calculated using amounts presented in the consolidated statement of
    operations. Comparable margins are calculated using amounts presented in
    the above table.

    (c) The decline in GAAP margins and comparable hotel adjusted operating
    profit margins includes the effect of the following two items of
    approximately 50 basis points for the quarter and full year periods ended
    December 31, 2009. (1) The 2008 full year comparable hotel operating
    profit includes business interruption proceeds of approximately
    $5 million, net of expenses, received in 2008 for the New Orleans Marriott
    which had previously been non-comparable. We did not receive any business
    interruption proceeds in 2009. (2) We have incurred additional expenses in
    2009 due to the treatment of the ground lease payments related to the New
    York Marriott Marquis. Since the renegotiation of the ground lease on the
    New York Marriott Marquis in 1998, the ground lease payments have reduced
    the deferred ground rent liability, and more recently, have been applied
    against the deferred purchase price of the land. As a result, there was no
    operating profit reduction for these payments. In 2009, a small portion of
    the payments funded the deferred purchase price and the remainder of
    approximately $7 million and $19 million for the quarter and full year,
    respectively, have been treated as rent and deducted from operating
    profit.

    (d) The reconciliation of total revenues per the consolidated statements
    of operations to the comparable hotel sales is as follows:

    of our non-comparable hotels whose operations are included in our
    consolidated statements of operations as continuing operations and the
    difference between the number of days of operations reflected in the
    comparable hotel results and the number of days of operations reflected in
    the consolidated statements of operations.

    RevPAR $113.61 $132.36 $112.57 $140.35

    (a) In connection with the 2009 $.25 per share common dividend described
    below, common OP unit holders received the cash distribution of 10% of
    the $0.25 per share dividend paid by Host to its common stockholders, or
    $0.025 per OP unit, but did not receive an equivalent per unit
    distribution for the 90% of the dividend paid with Host common stock.
    Therefore, subsequent to the issuance of shares of common stock to
    stockholders of Host, each OP Unit is now convertible into 1.021494 common
    shares. At December 31, 2009, there are ll.7 million common OP Units held
    by minority partners that are convertible into 11.9 million shares of
    Host common stock.


    (b) Share prices are the closing price as reported by the New York Stock
    Exchange.

    (c) Amount reflects market price of a single $1,000 debenture as quoted by
    Bloomberg L.P.

    (d) In reliance on the specific terms of guidance issued by the IRS and,
    subject to certain elections by our stockholders and the effect of a 10%
    cash limitation, Host paid approximately 90% of the special dividend with
    Host common stock or 13.4 million common shares, with the remaining 10%
    paid with cash of approximately $15.6 million.

    (e) On December 16, 2009, we declared a fourth quarter preferred cash
    dividend of $.5546875 per share for our Class E cumulative redeemable
    preferred stock.

    (f) During the first quarter of 2010, we used the proceeds from the
    issuance of the 2009 Debentures and available cash to repurchase
    $346 million face amount of our Series M senior notes and to repay the
    mortgage debt on Atlanta Marriott Marquis of $124 million.

    (g) During the first quarter of 2009, we repurchased $75 million face
    amount of the 2004 Debentures with a carrying value of $72 million for
    $69 million. We recorded a gain on repurchase of approximately $3 million.
    During the third and fourth quarters of 2009, we repurchased approximately
    $74 million face amount of the 2007 Debentures with a carrying value of
    $68 million for $66 million. We recorded a gain on repurchase of
    approximately $2 million.

    (h) During the first quarter of 2009, we adopted a new accounting
    requirement that issuers of cash-settled exchangeable debentures must
    separately account for the liability and equity components in a manner
    that will reflect the entity's nonconvertible debt borrowing rate on the
    instrument's issuance date. Therefore, we are required to record the debt
    components of the Debentures at fair value as of the date of issuance with
    the adjustment to additional paid-in capital and amortize the resulting
    discount as an increase to interest expense over the expected life of the
    debt. The principal balance shown has been reduced by $124 million
    and $76 million as of December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008,
    respectively, which reflects the remaining unamortized discount at these
    dates. The discounts will be amortized through the first date at which the
    holders can require Host to repurchase the Debentures for cash (April 2010
    for the 2004 Debentures, April 2012 for the 2007 Debentures and October
    2015 for the 2009 Debentures). The face amount of the 2004, 2007 and 2009
    Debentures is $325 million, $526 million and $400 million, respectively,
    at December 31, 2009.

    (i) The assets securing mortgage debt represents the book value of real
    estate assets, net of accumulated depreciation. These amounts do not
    represent the current market value of the assets.

    (j) Currently, we have $600 million of available capacity under the
    revolver portion of the credit facility.

    (k) In accordance with GAAP, total debt includes the debt of entities that
    we consolidate, but do not own 100% of the interests, and excludes the
    debt of entities that we do not consolidate, but have a non-controlling
    ownership interest and record our investment therein under the equity
    method of accounting. As of December 31, 2009, our non-controlling
    partners' share of consolidated debt is $68 million and our share of debt
    in unconsolidated investments is $332 million.

    (l) Total debt as of December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008 includes net
    discounts of $142 million and $86 million, respectively.

    (m) The operating statistics reflect all consolidated properties as of
    December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. The operating
    statistics include the results of operations for six properties
    disposed of in 2009 (including one hotel for which our ground
    lease expired in 2009 and will revert back to the ground lessor)
    and two properties disposed of in 2008 prior to their disposition.

    (a) In accordance with the guidance on FFO per diluted share provided by
    the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, we do not
    adjust net income for the non-cash impairment charges when determining our
    FFO per diluted share.

    (b) FFO per diluted share in accordance with NAREIT is adjusted for the
    effects of dilutive securities. Dilutive securities may include shares
    granted under comprehensive stock plans, preferred OP Units held by non-
    controlling partners, exchangeable debt securities and other non-
    controlling interests that have the option to convert their limited
    partnership interest to common OP Units. No effect is shown for securities
    if they are anti-dilutive.

    (c) During the first quarter of 2009 and fourth quarter of 2008, we
    repurchased $75 million and $100 million face amount, respectively, of the
    2004 Debentures with a carrying value of $72 million and $96 million for
    $69 million and $82 million, respectively. The adjustments to dilutive FFO
    related to the 2004 Debentures repurchased include the $3 million and
    $14 million gain on repurchase in 2009 and 2008, respectively, net of
    interest expense on the repurchased Debentures.

    (1) Includes the accrual of a potential litigation loss in the fourth
    quarter of 2009.

    (2) Includes gains/losses associated with the repurchase of our 2007
    Debentures and the repayment of the term loan. Additionally, as prescribed
    by the sharing agreement with the successor borrower in connection with
    the 2007 defeasance of $514 million in collateralized mortgage-backed
    securities, we received $7 million and recorded the gain as a reduction of
    interest expense in the second quarter 2009. The loan had an initial
    maturity date of September 15, 2009, and was prepayable beginning on
    May 1, 2009. We had been legally released from all obligations under the
    loan upon the defeasance in 2007.

    (3) Represents the portion of the significant items attributable to non-
    controlling partners in Host LP.

    (4) Earnings and FFO per diluted share for all periods presented also
    include non-cash interest expense related to the Company's exchangeable
    debentures in accordance with accounting requirements adopted on January
    1, 2009. The increase to interest expense was $8 million and $9 million
    in the fourth quarter of 2009 and 2008 (or $.01 for FFO and earnings per
    diluted share for both periods), respectively, and $27 million and $30
    million for the full year 2009 and 2008 (or $.03 for FFO per diluted share
    and $.04 for earnings per diluted share for both full year periods),
    respectively.
