FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
DIAMONDROCK COMPLETES SALE OF ORLANDO AIRPORT MARRIOTT
BETHESDA, Maryland, Wednesday, June 22, 2016 DiamondRock Hospitality Company (the Company) (NYSE: DRH) announced today that it recently completed the sale of the 485-room Orlando Airport Marriott Lakeside (the Hotel) for a total consideration of approximately $67 million, inclusive of the Hotels capital expenditure reserve account. The total consideration, adjusted to include the cost of projected near-term capital expenditures, represents a 7.2% capitalization rate on the Hotels net operating income for the year ended December 31, 2015 and an 11.5x multiple on the Hotels Adjusted EBITDA for the year ending December 31, 2015.
We are pleased to complete the sale of the Orlando Airport Marriott and execute upon our strategy of disposing of non-core assets and building strategic capacity to remain opportunistic and flexible at this stage of the cycle. This hotel represents the lowest RevPAR property in our portfolio, requires significant near-term capital investment, and reached prior peak Hotel Adjusted EBITDA that has grown nearly 60% over the last two years. We expect to pursue the disposition of additional non-core hotels and be a net seller for the remainder of 2016. stated Mark W. Brugger, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company.
For the year ending December 31, 2015, the Hotel generated RevPAR of approximately $92, which was over 45% below the Companys 2015 Pro Forma RevPAR of $171.79. The sale raises the Companys average 2015 RevPAR by nearly $4 pro forma for the disposition.
The total consideration, including near-term capital expenditures, represents a 4.9% capitalization rate on the Hotels average net operating income and a 16.2x multiple on the Hotels average Hotel Adjusted EBITDA for the five year period ended December 31, 2015.
The Company expects to record a gain on the sale, which will be excluded from its reported Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted FFO and does not expect to adjust its dividend to account for the gain. The Companys full year 2016 guidance assumed the Hotel generated Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted FFO of approximately $3.1 million and $2.7 million, respectively, following the sale, which closed on June 8, 2016. The sale will also reduce the Companys second quarter Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted FFO by approximately $0.3 million.
The cash proceeds from the sale were used to repay the $20 million outstanding on its senior unsecured credit facility and to build unrestricted cash, further enhancing the Companys liquidity.
