PEB Pebblebrook Hotel Trust

Pebblebrook Hotel Trust (NYSE: PEB):

Q2 FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

• Net income of $32.2 million
• Same-Property Total RevPAR(1) increased by 2.5% vs. Q2 2023, with urban properties improving 3.4% and resort properties growing 0.6%
• Same-Property EBITDA(1) of $117.2 million, up $9.6 million, or 8.9%, vs. Q2 2023
• Adjusted EBITDAre(1) of $123.5 million, ahead by $7.2 million, or 6.2%, vs. Q2 2023
• Adjusted FFO(1) per diluted share of $0.69, increasing 11.3% from Q2 2023

 

 

HOTEL OPERATING TRENDS

• Both urban and resort occupancies grew in Q2. Urban Same-Property Occupancy increased 2.5 percentage points, with gains driven by San Diego, Chicago, Boston and Washington, D.C. Resort Same-Property Occupancy rose by 3.5 percentage points, bolstered by continued improvement in weekday demand from business transient and groups and weekend occupancy from leisure travelers.
• Focused efforts to achieve operating cost efficiencies, coupled with reduced expense pressures and better-than-expected progress in realizing real estate tax reductions, resulted in a 0.1% year-over-year decline in Same-Property Total Expenses. This helped to improve Same-Property EBITDA margins by 182 basis points.

 

 

PORTFOLIO UPDATES & CAPITAL REPOSITIONINGS

• Pebblebrook’s multiyear comprehensive redevelopment and repositioning projects, totaling over $520 million, have been completed, positioning the Company to achieve significant revenue gains and cash flow improvements over the next several years.
• LaPlaya Beach Resort & Club (“LaPlaya”) continues to ramp up its operating performance following its redevelopment and restoration after Hurricane Ian. In Q2, EBITDA reached $7.0 million. Additionally, $7.3 million of business interruption income was recorded, exceeding the Company’s Q2 Outlook by $3.3 million.
• Le Méridien Delfina Santa Monica will be converted and rebranded to Hyatt Centric in mid-September 2024, becoming the first Hyatt-affiliated franchise in this highly desirable beachfront destination.

“Second quarter demand was in line with our expectations, with healthy business group, transient and leisure boosting the urban markets, and strong weekday and weekend demand positively affecting our resort portfolio. Our recently redeveloped and repositioned properties – Estancia La Jolla Hotel & Spa, Skamania Lodge, Hilton Gaslamp San Diego Quarter, Margaritaville San Diego Gaslamp Quarter and Newport Harbor Island Resort – are performing well, ramping up successfully and gaining market share. Our bottom-line operating results exceeded our outlook, primarily due to better-than-expected execution of operating efficiency initiatives, reduced expense pressures and slightly greater-than-expected savings from real estate tax reductions. Both our urban hotels and resorts grew Same-Property EBITDA during the second quarter, which is very encouraging.

“For the remainder of the year, increasing geopolitical and economic uncertainties are likely to impact industry performance and operating results, prompting us to adopt a modestly more cautious outlook. While we are slightly lowering our revenue growth outlook for the year, we are raising our 2024 outlook for Hotel EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDAre, Adjusted FFO and AFFO/share. Although our overall group and transient pace remains ahead for the balance of the year compared with 2023, the margin of advantage has been narrowing. Business group and transient segments remain healthy. However, leisure consumers have become increasingly price-conscious, particularly within the lower-priced segments, and this trend is beginning to impact some higher-end segments. We were previously expecting overall ADR declines to ease in the second half of this year, but we now expect continued pressure throughout the remainder of the year. Despite this, luxury and upscale travelers have remained resilient, and we are on track for a successful summer season across our portfolio.”

-Jon E. Bortz, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Pebblebrook Hotel Trust

• LaPlaya Beach Resort & Club is excluded from Jan – Jun

• Newport Harbor Island Resort is excluded from Jan – Jun

“Both our urban hotels and resorts demonstrated positive performance in the second quarter,” noted Mr. Bortz. “Year to date, our urban properties have improved occupancy by 2.4 percentage points and increased Same-Property EBITDA by 7.0% over the prior-year period. Meanwhile, our Resort Same-Property Occupancy increased by 3.5 percentage points for the quarter and 1.8 percentage points year to date, with Resort Same-Property EBITDA year to date increasing by 2.0% over last year.

‘We’re also very pleased with the tremendous progress our property teams and asset managers have made in delivering operating efficiency improvements across the portfolio. It has been a primary focus for our teams. Our Same-Property hotel operating expenses decreased by 0.1% versus Q2 2023, with costs per occupied room declining by 3.8%. Excluding property taxes and insurance, our hotel operating expenses rose by only 1.4%, while decreasing by 2.4% on a per occupied room basis. Generally, we have also experienced reduced operating cost pressures across the portfolio, which we expect will continue through the remainder of the year.”

Ramp Up of LaPlaya Beach Resort & Club

Following the post-hurricane reconstruction completion and full reopening of LaPlaya in Naples, Florida earlier this year, the luxury resort's operating performance continues to improve rapidly. Year to date, LaPlaya has achieved $15.3 million in Hotel EBITDA, as compared to a loss of $3.7 million in the same period last year, and a positive $23.1 million in the same period of 2022, which was the resort’s best performing year prior to Hurricane Ian in September 2022. The property’s underlying performance is expected to continue to ramp up, and LaPlaya is fully poised to capitalize on the upcoming high-demand travel season in Naples, starting in the fourth quarter of 2024. As part of the Company’s increased 2024 outlook, LaPlaya is expected to contribute $24 million of EBITDA for the entire year, which represents a $2 million improvement from the Company’s prior expectations.

Regarding insurance claims, the Company expects all operational and physical disruptions to be covered under its business interruption (“BI”) and property insurance policies, net of deductibles. In Q2 2024, a preliminary settlement of $7.3 million for BI proceeds related to income losses from October 2023 through February 2024 was recorded, exceeding the Company’s Q2 outlook by $3.3 million. Year to date, the Company has recorded $11.3 million in BI income and forecasts an additional $2.7 million for the remainder of 2024, bringing the total expected BI income for 2024 to $14.0 million. This is $3.0 million more than previously expected. These projections are now incorporated into the Company’s 2024 Outlook. It is important to note that while business interruption proceeds will increase Adjusted EBITDAre and Adjusted FFO, they are not included in Same-Property Hotel EBITDA. As a reminder, LaPlaya’s operating performance is excluded from all same-property reporting results for 2024 and 2023.

Le Méridien Delfina Santa Monica to Convert to Hyatt Centric

The Company recently reached an agreement with Hyatt Hotels & Resorts (“Hyatt”) to reflag its existing 315-room Le Méridien Delfina Santa Monica as the Hyatt Centric Delfina Santa Monica in mid-September 2024. This exciting conversion will include an approximate $16.0 million property refresh, commencing in the fourth quarter of this year, with expected completion in the second quarter of 2025. Hyatt is providing key money, offsetting a meaningful portion of the property refresh.

“We are thrilled that our lifestyle-oriented Delfina Santa Monica hotel will become part of Hyatt Centric,” noted Mr. Bortz. “After evaluating many alternative options, we determined that converting to Hyatt Centric was the optimal choice for this unique lifestyle-oriented property. We were already planning a refresh, and the additional scope to meet Hyatt Centric standards was relatively minor. This will be the only Hyatt-branded hotel in the desirable and high barrier-to-entry beachside Santa Monica hotel market, which should be a tremendous benefit for the property.”

Capital Investments and Strategic Property Redevelopments

During the second quarter, the Company completed $28.7 million of capital investments throughout its portfolio, excluding capital expenditures related to the repair and rebuilding of LaPlaya. These investments relate to a number of the Company’s last major property redevelopments, including:

• the $50 million comprehensive redevelopment and transformation of Newport Harbor Island Resort into a luxury island resort, which fully launched on Memorial Day weekend;
• the finalization of Estancia La Jolla Hotel & Spa’s $26 million redevelopment and repositioning, which was completed in mid-April and included fully renovating public areas and extensive public area landscaping, adding a lobby bar and patio, outdoor meeting venues, an outdoor pool bar and grill and new cabanas, and upgrading the main ballroom and the Mustangs and Burros restaurant; and
• the May completion of Skamania Lodge's $20 million phase 1 of its much larger master plan to expand and introduce alternative lodging accommodations, including the recent addition of two new 2-bedroom cabins, one new 3-bedroom villa, and five first-of-their-kind luxury glamping units. Other recent resort additions included a multi-million-dollar outdoor meeting and event venue adjacent to the resort’s new 18-hole putting course, three additional treehouses bringing the total number of treehouses to nine, and road and utility infrastructure for existing and future alternative accommodations.

With the completion of these investments, virtually all of the Company's properties have undergone recent major redevelopments or renovations. This marks a transition to a period of significantly reduced capital investments planned for the next few years. The Company continues to expect it will invest a total of $85 to $90 million in the portfolio in 2024, net of key money.

Balance Sheet and Liquidity

As of June 30, 2024, the Company had $111.2 million in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, plus $636.3 million of undrawn availability on its $650 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility. The Company’s current $2.2 billion of consolidated debt and convertible notes is well-structured, with an estimated effective weighted-average interest rate of 4.4% as of the beginning of the third quarter. 75% of the combined debt and convertible notes is fixed at an estimated effective weighted-average interest rate of 3.4%, while the remaining 25% is floating at an estimated weighted-average interest rate of 7.3%. In addition, approximately 91% of the Company’s outstanding debt is unsecured, and the weighted-average maturity of the Company’s debt is approximately 2.7 years. The Company has no meaningful debt maturities until Q4 2025.

Common and Preferred Dividends

On June 14, 2024, the Company declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.01 per share on its common shares and a regular quarterly cash dividend for the following preferred shares of beneficial interest:

• $0.39844 per 6.375% Series E Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Share;
• $0.39375 per 6.3% Series F Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Share;
• $0.39844 per 6.375% Series G Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Share; and
• $0.35625 per 5.7% Series H Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Share.

Update on Curator Hotel & Resort Collection

Curator Hotel & Resort Collection (“Curator”) is a curated collection of experientially focused small brands and independent lifestyle hotels and resorts worldwide founded by Pebblebrook and several industry-leading independent lifestyle hotel operators. As of June 30, 2024, Curator had 97 member hotels and resorts and 117 master service agreements with preferred vendor partners. The master service agreements provide Curator member hotels with preferred pricing, enhanced operating terms, and early access to curated new technologies. Curator's mission is to support lifestyle hotels and resorts through its best-in-class operating agreements, services and technology, while helping properties amplify their independent brands and what makes them unique.

2024 Outlook

The Company's 2024 Outlook, which does not assume any acquisitions or dispositions, incorporates planned capital investments and key assumptions, including an estimated $14.0 million in business interruption proceeds and $24.0 million of Hotel EBITDA related to LaPlaya, which is incorporated into Adjusted EBITDAre and Adjusted FFO, but does not impact Same-Property Hotel EBITDA.

This forecast assumes stable travel conditions, unaffected by pandemics, major weather events, federal shutdowns or deteriorating macro-economic factors.

Considerations Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release includes certain non-GAAP financial measures. These measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative to, measures prepared in accordance with GAAP and may be different from similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with the Company’s results of operations determined in accordance with GAAP.

Funds from Operations (“FFO”) - FFO represents net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains or losses from sales of properties, plus real estate-related depreciation and amortization and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships. The Company considers FFO a useful measure of performance for an equity REIT because it facilitates an understanding of the Company's operating performance without giving effect to real estate depreciation and amortization, which assume that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, the Company believes that FFO provides a meaningful indication of its performance. The Company also considers FFO an appropriate performance measure given its wide use by investors and analysts. The Company computes FFO in accordance with standards established by the Board of Governors of Nareit in its March 1995 White Paper (as amended in November 1999 and April 2002), which may differ from the methodology for calculating FFO utilized by other equity REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to that of other REITs. Further, FFO does not represent amounts available for management’s discretionary use because of needed capital replacement or expansion, debt service obligations or other commitments and uncertainties, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund the Company’s cash needs, including its ability to make distributions. The Company presents FFO per diluted share calculations that are based on the outstanding dilutive common shares plus the outstanding Operating Partnership units for the periods presented.

Earnings before Interest, Taxes, and Depreciation and Amortization ("EBITDA") - The Company believes that EBITDA provides investors a useful financial measure to evaluate its operating performance, excluding the impact of our capital structure (primarily interest expense) and our asset base (primarily depreciation and amortization).

Earnings before Interest, Taxes, and Depreciation and Amortization for Real Estate ("EBITDAre") - The Company believes that EBITDAre provides investors a useful financial measure to evaluate its operating performance, and the Company presents EBITDAre in accordance with Nareit guidelines, as defined in its September 2017 white paper "Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization for Real Estate." EBITDAre adjusts EBITDA for the following items, which may occur in any period, and refers to these measures as Adjusted EBITDAre: (1) gains or losses on the disposition of depreciated property, including gains or losses on change of control; (2) impairment write-downs of depreciated property and of investments in unconsolidated affiliates caused by a decrease in value of depreciated property in the affiliate; and (3) adjustments to reflect the entity's share of EBITDAre of unconsolidated affiliates.

The Company also evaluates its performance by reviewing Adjusted FFO and Adjusted EBITDAre because it believes that adjusting FFO to exclude certain recurring and non-recurring items described below provides useful supplemental information regarding the Company's ongoing operating performance and that the presentation of Adjusted FFO and Adjusted EBITDAre, when combined with the primary GAAP presentation of net income (loss), more completely describes the Company's operating performance. The Company adjusts FFO available to common share and unit holders for the following items, which may occur in any period, and refers to this measure as Adjusted FFO and Adjusted EBITDAre:

• Transaction costs: The Company excludes transaction costs expensed during the period because it believes that including these costs in FFO does not reflect the underlying financial performance of the Company and its hotels.
• Non-cash ground rent: The Company excludes the non-cash ground rent expense, which is primarily made up of the straight-line rent impact from a ground lease.
• Management/franchise contract transition costs: The Company excludes one-time management and/or franchise contract transition costs expensed during the period because it believes that including these costs in FFO and Adjusted EBITDAre does not reflect the underlying financial performance of the Company and its hotels.
• Interest expense adjustment for acquired liabilities: The Company excludes interest expense adjustment for acquired liabilities assumed in connection with acquisitions, because it believes that including these non-cash adjustments in FFO and Adjusted EBITDAre does not reflect the underlying financial performance of the Company.
• Finance lease adjustment: The Company excludes the effect of non-cash interest expense from finance leases because it believes that including these non-cash adjustments in FFO and Adjusted EBITDAre does not reflect the underlying financial performance of the Company.
• Non-cash amortization of acquired intangibles: The Company excludes the non-cash amortization of acquired intangibles, which includes but is not limited to the amortization of favorable and unfavorable leases or management agreements and above/below market real estate tax reduction agreements because it believes that including these non-cash adjustments in FFO and Adjusted EBITDAre does not reflect the underlying financial performance of the Company.
• Non-cash interest expense, one-time operation suspension expenses, early extinguishment of debt, amortization of share-based compensation expense, issuance costs of redeemed preferred shares, and hurricane-related repairs costs: The Company excludes these items because the Company believes that including these adjustments in FFO does not reflect the underlying financial performance of the Company and its hotels.
• One-time operation suspension expenses, amortization of share-based compensation expense, and hurricane-related costs: The Company excludes these items because it believes that including these costs in EBITDAre does not reflect the underlying financial performance of the Company and its hotels.

The Company presents weighted-average number of basic and fully diluted common shares and units by excluding the dilutive effect of shares issuable upon conversion of convertible debt.

The Company’s presentation of FFO and Adjusted EBITDAre as adjusted by the Company, should not be considered as an alternative to net income (computed in accordance with GAAP) as an indicator of the Company’s financial performance or to cash flow from operating activities (computed in accordance with GAAP) as an indicator of its liquidity. The Company’s presentation of EBITDAre, and as adjusted by the Company, should not be considered as an alternative to net income (computed in accordance with GAAP) as an indicator of the Company’s financial performance or to cash flow from operating activities (computed in accordance with GAAP) as an indicator of its liquidity.
