Westin Boston Financing: On October 27, 2015, the Company entered into a new $205 million mortgage loan secured by the Westin Boston Waterfront Hotel. The mortgage loan has a term of 10 years and bears interest at a fixed rate of 4.36%.

Additionally, we successfully completed our strategic objective to address near-term debt maturities and lower borrowing costs. Our 2015 financing activity will result in annual interest expense savings of approximately $8 million.”
 
Operating Results    
Discussions of “Pro Forma” assumes the Company owned each of its 29 hotels since January 1, 2014 but excludes the Hilton Garden Inn Times Square Central from January 1, 2015 to August 31, 2015, since the hotel opened for business on September 1, 2014. Please see “Certain Definitions” and “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” attached to this press release for an explanation of the terms “EBITDA,” “Adjusted EBITDA,” “Hotel Adjusted EBITDA Margin,” “FFO” and “Adjusted FFO.”

For the quarter ended September 30, 2015, the Company reported the following:

The Company's operating results for the third quarter were negatively impacted by several items, as follows:

The disruption during the period leading up to and after the conversion of the Conrad Chicago to The Gwen, a Luxury Collection Hotel, was approximately $1.0 million higher than the Company had factored into its Adjusted EBITDA guidance. The disruption reduced the Company's Pro Forma RevPAR growth by approximately 80 basis points and Pro Forma Hotel Adjusted EBITDA margin growth by approximately 50 basis points. The Company expects the disruption to continue in the fourth quarter, and this is incorporated into its updated guidance. Notwithstanding the incremental conversion disruption, the Company continues to expect the hotel to meet its multi-year underwriting.

The Company received a new property tax assessment for the Chicago Marriott, which was significantly higher than the Company forecasted. The increased assessment resulted in property taxes during the third quarter that were approximately $1.1 million above forecast. The property tax adjustment reduced the Company's Pro Forma Hotel Adjusted EBITDA margin growth by approximately 47 basis points. The Company is currently appealing the property tax assessment.

The Company received a 15-year extension of the income tax agreement with the U.S. Virgin Islands (USVI) related to the Frenchman's Reef & Morning Star Marriott Beach Resort early in the fourth quarter. The Company's third quarter income tax provision was approximately $1.1 million above prior guidance, which assumed the extension would be received during the third quarter. Although the extension is retroactive to February, the Company is required to recored the adjustment to its income tax provision to reflect the reduced tax rate during the forth quarter.

Hotel Financing Activity
On July 1, 2015, the Company refinanced the JW Marriott Denver at Cherry Creek with a new $65.0 million mortgage loan. The new loan has a term of 10 years and a fixed interest rate of 4.33%. The new loan is interest-only for the first year after which principal will amortize on a 30-year schedule. The hotel was previously encumbered by a $38.1 million mortgage loan with a fixed interest rate of 6.47%.
On October 9, 2015, the Company prepaid the $55.3 million mortgage loan secured by the Orlando Airport Marriott. The prepayment will save approximately $0.7 million of interest expense during the fourth quarter, which was factored into the Company's prior guidance.
On October 27, 2015, the Company entered into a new $205 million mortgage loan secured by the Westin Boston Waterfront Hotel. The new loan has a term of 10 years, a fixed interest rate of 4.36% and will amortize on a 30-year schedule. The proceeds from the loan will be utilized to prepay the approximately $200 million mortgage loan secured by the Chicago Marriott in early 2016. The lower interest rate on the new loan is expected to save the Company over $3.0 million in annual interest expense beginning in 2016.
Capital Expenditures

The Company spent approximately $46.1 million on capital improvements during the nine months ended September 30, 2015, which includes the following significant projects::

Hilton Boston Downtown: The Company completed a return on investment project at the hotel to create an incremental 41 guest rooms and upgrade additional guest rooms, which created over 90 premium rooms.
Chicago Marriott Downtown: The Company commenced a multi-year guest room renovation at the hotel. Marriott is contributing to the cost of the renovation through an amendment to the hotel's management agreement to reduce management fees for the remaining term of the agreement. The amendment is expected to reduce management fees by approximately $1.8 million in 2015. The first phase of the guest room renovation, which consisted of 140 rooms, including all 25 suites, was successfully completed during the first quarter of 2015. The Company also added Marriott's new prototype F&B grab-and-go outlet in the hotel's lobby. The second phase of the guest room renovation will be completed during the seasonally slow winter months over the next three years and is not expected to result in material disruption.

The Company is also in the planning stages of additional significant projects, which include the following:
  
The Lodge at Sonoma: The Company expects to renovate the guest rooms at the hotel during the seasonally slow months during 2016 and 2017.
The Gwen, a Luxury Collection: The Company rebranded the Conrad Chicago to Starwood's Luxury Collection on September 1, 2015. The renovation work associated with the brand conversion is expect to

3



cost approximately $25 million and take place over the next two seasonally slow winter seasons with no material disruption.
Balance Sheet
As of September 30, 2015, the Company had $62.0 million of unrestricted cash on hand and approximately $1.1 billion of total debt, which consisted of property-specific mortgage debt and $25.0 million outstanding on the Company's $200.0 million senior unsecured credit facility. There are currently no outstanding borrowings on its senior unsecured credit facility.

ATM Equity Offering Program

The Company did not sell any shares under its $200 million at-the-market ("ATM") equity offering program during the third quarter. The Company currently has $128.3 million remaining under the ATM program. The Company does not expect to utilize the program at this time, but believes it is appropriate to have the program in place.

Share Repurchase Program

On November 4, 2015, the Company's Board of Directors authorized a $150 million share repurchase program. Repurchases under this program will be made in open market or privately negotiated transactions from time to time and in such amounts as market conditions warrant, and subject to regulatory considerations. The Company has not repurchased any shares of its common stock since the program started.

Dividends

The Company’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.125 per share to stockholders of record as of September 30, 2015. The dividend was paid on October 13, 2015.

Outlook and Guidance
The Company has provided full year guidance for 2015, but does not undertake to update it for any developments in its business.  Achievement of the anticipated results is subject to the risks disclosed in the Company’s filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.  Pro Forma RevPAR and Pro Forma Hotel Adjusted EBITDA margin growth assume that all of the Company's 29 hotels were owned since January 1, 2014 but excludes the Hilton Garden Inn Times Square Central until September 1, 2015, since the hotel opened on September 1, 2014.

The Company is updating its full year 2015 guidance to incorporate the disruption related to The Gwen conversion, as well as the impact of the higher than expected property taxes at the Chicago Marriott.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We use the following non-GAAP financial measures that we believe are useful to investors as key measures of our operating performance: EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, FFO and Adjusted FFO. These measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance in accordance with GAAP. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, FFO and Adjusted FFO, as calculated by us, may not be comparable to other companies that do not define such terms exactly as the Company.

EBITDA and FFO

EBITDA represents net income excluding: (1) interest expense; (2) provision for income taxes, including income taxes applicable to sale of assets; and (3) depreciation and amortization. We believe EBITDA is useful to an investor in evaluating our operating performance because it helps investors evaluate and compare the results of our operations from period to period by removing the impact of our capital structure (primarily interest expense) and our asset base (primarily depreciation and amortization) from our operating results. In addition, covenants included in our indebtedness use EBITDA as a measure of financial compliance. We also use EBITDA as one measure in determining the value of hotel acquisitions and dispositions.

The Company computes FFO in accordance with standards established by NAREIT, which defines FFO as net income determined in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains or losses from sales of properties and impairment losses, plus depreciation and amortization. The Company believes that the presentation of FFO provides useful information to investors regarding its operating performance because it is a measure of the Company's operations without regard to specified non-cash items, such as real estate depreciation and amortization and gain or loss on sale of assets. The Company also uses FFO as one measure in assessing its results.

Adjustments to EBITDA and FFO

We adjust EBITDA and FFO when evaluating our performance because we believe that the exclusion of certain additional recurring and non-recurring items described below provides useful supplemental information to investors regarding our ongoing operating performance and that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted FFO, when combined with GAAP net income, EBITDA and FFO, is beneficial to an investor's complete understanding of our operating performance. We adjust EBITDA and FFO for the following items:

Non-Cash Ground Rent: We exclude the non-cash expense incurred from the straight line recognition of rent from our ground lease obligations and the non-cash amortization of our favorable lease assets.
Non-Cash Amortization of Favorable and Unfavorable Contracts: We exclude the non-cash amortization of favorable and unfavorable contract assets and liabilities recorded in conjunction with certain acquisitions. The amortization of the favorable and unfavorable contracts does not reflect the underlying operating performance of our hotels.
Cumulative Effect of a Change in Accounting Principle: Infrequently, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) promulgates new accounting standards that require the consolidated statement of operations to reflect the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle. We exclude the effect of these one-time adjustments because they do not reflect our actual performance for that period.
Gains or Losses from Early Extinguishment of Debt: We exclude the effect of gains or losses recorded on the early extinguishment of debt because we believe they do not accurately reflect the underlying performance of the Company.
Acquisition Costs:  We exclude acquisition transaction costs expensed during the period because we believe they do not reflect the underlying performance of the Company.
Allerton Loan: We exclude the gain from the prepayment of the loan in 2014.
Other Non-Cash and /or Unusual Items:  From time to time we incur costs or realize gains that we do not believe reflect the underlying performance of the Company. Such items include, but are not limited to, hotel pre-opening costs, hotel manager transition costs, lease preparation costs, contract termination fees, severance costs, gains or losses from legal settlements, bargain purchase gains, and insurance proceeds.
In addition, to derive Adjusted EBITDA we exclude gains or losses on dispositions and impairment losses because we believe that including them in EBITDA does not reflect the ongoing performance of our hotels. Additionally, the gains or losses on dispositions and impairment losses represent either accelerated depreciation or excess depreciation in previous periods, and depreciation is excluded from EBITDA.


8



In addition, to derive Adjusted FFO we exclude any fair value adjustments to debt instruments. Specifically, we exclude the impact of the non-cash amortization of the debt premium recorded in conjunction with the acquisition of the JW Marriott Denver at Cherry Creek and any fair market value adjustments to the Company's interest rate cap agreement.

Use and Limitations of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Our management and Board of Directors use EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, FFO and Adjusted FFO to evaluate the performance of our hotels and to facilitate comparisons between us and other lodging REITs, hotel owners who are not REITs and other capital intensive companies. The use of these non-GAAP financial measures has certain limitations. These non-GAAP financial measures as presented by us, may not be comparable to non-GAAP financial measures as calculated by other real estate companies. These measures do not reflect certain expenses or expenditures that we incurred and will incur, such as depreciation, interest and capital expenditures. We compensate 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 reconciliations to the most comparable GAAP financial measures, and our consolidated statements of operations and cash flows, include interest expense, capital expenditures, and other excluded items, all of which should be considered when evaluating our performance, as well as the usefulness of our non-GAAP financial measures.

These non-GAAP financial measures are used in addition to and in conjunction with results presented in accordance with GAAP. They should not be considered as alternatives to operating profit, cash flow from operations, or any other operating performance measure prescribed by GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures reflect additional ways of viewing our operations that we believe, when viewed with our GAAP results and the reconciliations to the corresponding GAAP financial measures, provide a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business than could be obtained absent this disclosure. We strongly encourage investors to review our financial information in its entirety and not to rely on a single financial measure.

Certain Definitions
In this release, when we discuss “Hotel Adjusted EBITDA,” we exclude from Hotel EBITDA the non-cash expense incurred by the hotels due to the straight lining of the rent from our ground lease obligations, the non-cash amortization of our favorable lease assets and other contracts, and the non-cash amortization of our unfavorable contract liabilities. Hotel EBITDA represents hotel net income excluding: (1) interest expense; (2) income taxes; and (3) depreciation and amortization. Hotel Adjusted EBITDA margins are calculated as Hotel Adjusted EBITDA divided by total hotel revenues. Net debt is calculated as total debt outstanding less unrestricted cash.
