Supertel Hospitality Reports 2012 Fourth Quarter, Full-Year Results


NORFOLK, NE--(Marketwire - Mar 20, 2013) - Supertel Hospitality, Inc. (NASDAQ: SPPR), a real estate investment trust (REIT), today announced its results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2012. 

2012 Fourth Quarter and Full-Year Highlights 

  • Received $30 million in new equity in February 2012.
  • Replaced a $28.2 million loan with a new $30.6 million five year borrowing.
  • Increased revenues from continuing operations to $16.4 million in the fourth quarter and $70.6 million for the full year.
  • RevPAR for the same store hotels increased 1.9 percent for the year, but was flat for the fourth quarter.
  • Net loss declined 41.5 percent and 22.1 percent for the year and quarter.
  • Recorded $17.1 million Adjusted EBITDA for the full year and $2.66 million for the fourth quarter.
  • Posted $(1.8) million Adjusted FFO for the full year and $(6.5) million in the fourth quarter.
  • Sold 15 non-core hotels in 2012.
  • Acquired 100-room Hilton Garden Inn for $11.5 million.

Fourth Quarter Operating & Financial Results

Revenues from continuing operations for the 2012 fourth quarter rose 5.2 percent, or $0.8 million, to $16.4 million, compared to the same year-ago period. The improvement was led by results from the recently acquired Hilton Garden Inn and a 1.5 percent increase in same store operations ADR.

Supertel had a 2012 fourth quarter net loss available to common shareholders of $(7.3) million, $(0.31) per diluted share, compared to $(8.6) million, or $(0.37) per diluted share, for the same 2011 period. The 2012 fourth quarter loss includes a $6.3 million tax valuation allowance, as well as a $1.9 million, non-cash impairment charge taken against assets classified as discontinued operations, offset by a $2.0 million gain on sale of assets. For the full year, the company had $10.2 million in non-cash impairment charges, compared to $14.3 million in non-cash impairment charges for full-year 2011. 

Funds from operations (FFO) was $(5.2) million for the 2012 fourth quarter, compared to $0.2 million in the same 2011 period. Adjusted funds from operations (AFFO), which is FFO adjusted to exclude gains and losses on derivative liabilities and  acquisition costs added back, in the 2012 fourth quarter was $(6.5) million, compared to $0.3 million in the same 2011 period. The decrease is primarily a result of the tax valuation allowance expense of $6.3 million.

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) increased to $3.2 million from $(4.0) million for the 2012 fourth quarter. Adjusted EBITDA, which is EBITDA before non controlling interest, net gain/loss on disposition of assets, impairment, preferred stock dividends, unrealized gain/loss on derivatives and acquisition expense, declined to $2.7 million, compared to $3.0 million for the 2011 fourth quarter.

In the 2012 fourth quarter, the 63-hotel, same store portfolio reported essentially flat revenue per available room (RevPAR) of $30.09, a mix of a 1.5 percent improvement in ADR to $50.93, offset by a 1.5 percent decline in occupancy to 59.1 percent, compared to the 2011 fourth quarter. Supertel's portfolio outperformed the industry in occupancy by 2.5 percentage points.

"We made steady progress in executing our business strategy in 2012 by divesting 15 non-core assets, refinancing a total of $31.5 million of debt and acquiring our first upscale, limited-service hotel," said Kelly Walters, Supertel's president and chief executive officer. "Our results were impacted by the tax valuation allowance, but we believe that our strategy has the company headed in the proper direction. Still, much work remains to be done."

Property operating income (POI), an important operating measurement, is the revenue from room rentals and other hotel services less hotel and property operating expenses. For the 2012 fourth quarter, POI from continuing operations rose to $3.7 million, a 2.5 percent improvement, compared to $3.6 million for the same period a year earlier. POI from continuing operations for the full year increased 9.8 percent to $18.7 million.

See attached chart Property Operating Income (POI) and POI Operating Margin Percentage. 

"Operationally, our hotels continue to benefit from our multiple operator strategy. We believe this strategy has generated stronger returns than our previous operational model. Many of our hotels are in the Midwest and in smaller towns which have not rebounded as quickly as larger urban markets," Walters said. "We are pleased with the margin improvements, but we are not satisfied yet with our profitability."

Full-Year Financial Results

Revenues from continuing operations for full-year 2012 increased 5.3 percent to $70.6 million. 

Net loss attributable to common shareholders for 2012 was $(13.4) million, or $(0.58) per diluted share, compared with a 2011 net loss attributable to common shareholders of $(18.9) million, or $(0.82) per diluted share for the same 2011 period. 

FFO for the full year 2012 was $(2.3) million, compared to $3.9 million for the same 2011 period. The company's Adjusted FFO for 2012 was $(1.8) million, compared to the $4.1 million reported at December 31, 2011. The lower results were impacted by the tax valuation allowance.

The portfolio of 63 same store hotels in 2012, compared with the same period a year earlier, reported a 1.9 percent rise in RevPAR as a result of a 2.4 percent increase in ADR, partially offset by a 0.5 percent decline in occupancy. 

"Our operating results, with the exception of the West South Central region, enjoyed a combined 2.6 percent increase in RevPAR growth in 2012," said Walters.  "This was offset by a 15.7 percent RevPAR decrease in the West South Central region due to increased business in 2011 which was a result of higher occupancy from the energy production industry." 

For full-year 2012, the company recorded $10.2 million of impairment charges, including $6.4 million against discontinued operations hotels and $3.8 million against continuing operations properties.

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, non controlling interest and preferred stock dividends (Adjusted EBITDA) was up 6.7 percent to $17.1 million for the full year 2012. 

Acquisition Activity

In May 2012, the company acquired the 100-room Hilton Garden Inn in Dowell, (Solomons Island) Md. for $11.5 million, excluding closing costs and fees. This is the first acquisition as part of the company's new growth strategy.

Disposition Program

During 2012 the company sold 15 hotels for $25.5 million, resulting in a gain on sale of approximately $7.9 million. Proceeds were used primarily to improve the balance sheet by reducing debt and materially lowering debt service. The sold properties included:

Super 8: Fayetteville, AR; Muscatine, IA; El Dorado, KS; Sedalia, MO; Wichita, KS; Watertown, SD; Antigo, WI; Clinton, IA; Omaha (Aksarben), NE; Lincoln (West "O"), NE
Masters Inn: Tampa (Fairgrounds), FL
Comfort Inn: Erlanger, KY
Comfort Suites: Dover, DE
Guesthouse Inn: Jackson, TN
Ramada Inn: Ellenton, FL

The company currently is actively marketing 22 hotels for sale and expects to generate approximately $32.7 million in gross proceeds. "We have concentrated our efforts on disposing of assets that were the least profitable to us or were losing money and thus classified as non-core," Walters said. 

Capital Reinvestment

During 2012, the company invested $5.7 million to upgrade its properties and maintain brand standards. "We expect to invest $8.0 million in improvements for our continuing operations hotels in 2013," Walters added. "The higher investment reflects our plan to maintain our core hotels in competitive physical condition to earn higher returns by generating stronger RevPAR performance."

Balance Sheet

The company continued to improve its balance sheet strength and flexibility in 2012 through mortgage debt reduction, loan-term extensions, covenant modifications and obtaining new equity and debt.

In November 2012, the company paid down a maturing $28.2 million loan with Greenwich Capital, replacing it with a $30.6 million loan originated by Morgan Stanley Capital Holdings. The new loan matures in 2017 and carries a 5.83 percent annual interest rate, 167 basis points lower than the previous loan, resulting in a reduction of approximately $1.1 million in annual debt service.

As of December 31, 2012, Supertel had $112.4 million in outstanding debt on its continuing operations hotels with an average term of 3.7 years and weighted average annual interest rate of 6.0 percent. 

Subsequent Events

On January 21, 2013, Patrick Beans joined the company as senior vice president and treasurer, replacing David Walter, former senior vice president and treasurer, who retired in February 2013.

Following the close of the 2012 fourth quarter, the company sold two economy hotels, the Ellenton, Florida, Guesthouse Inn and Fredericksburg North, Virginia, Days Inn. Combined net proceeds totaled $3.31 million. The associated mortgage debt was fully retired with excess proceeds used for general corporate purposes.

Dividends

The company did not declare a dividend on common stock in 2012. Preferred dividends continued uninterrupted. The board of directors will continue to monitor the dividend policy on a quarterly basis.

Non-Cash Valuation Allowance Against Deferred Tax Assets

During its annual fourth quarter review of its deferred tax assets/liabilities for recoverability, the company determined that the probability of recovering a portion or all of its deferred tax assets did not meet the appropriate threshold and recorded a non-cash $6.3 million valuation allowance. 

The company has not recorded taxable income in the Taxable REIT Subsidiary (TRS) in any of the past four years. Even though the 2012 TRS tax loss was significantly less than the three prior years, the company determined that as the loss years continue, the recoverability of those tax assets becomes less certain. The company believes that its growth strategies will make these tax assets recoverable, following future equity raises and acquisitions. However, until these strategies are successfully executed, they cannot be assured to provide sufficient taxable income to recover the deferred tax assets.

Outlook 2013

"We continue to reinvent Supertel by divesting of our non-core hotels on a planned basis, retaining those properties with the best long-term potential that are projected to meet our return criteria," Walters said. 

"Our balance sheet is stronger," Walters continued. "We have paid down nearly $70 million in debt in the past four years and reduced our interest expense by more than 27 percent over the same period.

"Our business strategy calls for upgrading our portfolio to focus on hotels in the upscale and upper midscale, select-service segment," he noted. "The acquisition made last year, a Hilton Garden Inn, is typical of the type of properties we seek. We intend to accelerate our growth plan as capital markets and acquisition opportunities allow over the near and long term."

FFO and Adjusted FFO ("AFFO") are non-GAAP financial measures. We consider FFO and AFFO to be market accepted measures of an equity REIT's operating performance, which are necessary, along with net earnings (loss), for an understanding of our operating results. FFO, as defined under the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT) standards, consists of net income computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains (or losses) from sales of real estate assets, plus depreciation and amortization of real estate assets. We believe our method of calculating FFO complies with the NAREIT definition. AFFO is FFO adjusted to exclude gains or losses on derivative liabilities, which are non-cash charges against income and which do not represent results from our core operations. AFFO also adds back acquisition costs. FFO and AFFO do not represent amounts available for management's discretionary use because of needed capital replacement or expansion, debt service obligations, or other commitments and uncertainties. FFO and AFFO should not be considered as alternatives to net income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP) as an indicator of our liquidity, nor are they indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to pay dividends or make distributions. All REITs do not calculate FFO and AFFO in the same manner; therefore, our calculation may not be the same as the calculation of FFO and AFFO for similar REITs.

Diluted FFO per share and diluted Adjusted FFO per share are computed after adjusting the numerator and denominator of the basic computation for the effects of any dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. The Company's outstanding warrants to purchase common stock Series C convertible preferred stock, preferred operating units, unvested stock awards and stock options would be antidilutive and are not included in the dilution computation.

We use FFO and AFFO as performance measures to facilitate a periodic evaluation of our operating results relative to those of our peers. We consider FFO and AFFO to be useful additional measures of performance for an equity REIT because it facilitates an understanding of the operating performance of our properties 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, we believe that FFO and AFFO provide a meaningful indication of our performance.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are financial measures that are not calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). We calculate EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA by adding back to net earnings (loss) available to common shareholders certain non-operating expenses and non-cash charges which are based on historical cost accounting and we believe may be of limited significance in evaluating current performance. We believe these adjustments can help eliminate the accounting effects of depreciation and amortization and financing decisions and facilitate comparisons of core operating profitability between periods, even though EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA also do not represent an amount that accrues directly to common shareholders. In calculating Adjusted EBITDA, we add back noncontrolling interest, net (gain) loss on disposition of assets, preferred stock dividends and acquisition expenses which are cash charges. We also add back impairment and unrealized gain or loss on derivatives, which are non-cash charges.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not represent cash generated from operating activities determined by GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to net income, cash flow from operations or any other operating performance measure prescribed by GAAP. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not measures of our liquidity, nor are they indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to make cash distributions. Neither do the measurements reflect cash expenditures for long-term assets and other items that have been and will be incurred. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may include funds that may not be available for management's discretionary use due to functional requirements to conserve funds for capital expenditures, property acquisitions, and other commitments and uncertainties. To compensate for this, management considers the impact of these excluded items to the extent they are material to operating decisions or the evaluation of our operating performance. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, as presented, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.
