WILLIAMSBURG, Va., Nov. 5 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- MHI Hospitality
Corporation (NASDAQ:MDH) ("the Company"), a self-advised lodging
real estate investment trust (REIT), today reported its
consolidated results for the third quarter ended September 30,
2008. The Company also provided its business outlook for the
remainder of 2008. PERFORMANCE & OPERATIONS HIGHLIGHTS: --
Funds from Operations ("FFO") of approximately $0.11 per share for
the quarter -- Consolidated total revenue of approximately $17.2
million -- Total assets of approximately $203.2 million, versus
approximately $140.6 million at third quarter 2007 -- Company
completes Hampton, VA hotel conversion to Crowne Plaza -- Company
receives Developer of the Year and Renovation Awards for Hollywood,
FL asset Andrew M. Sims, President and CEO of MHI Hospitality
Corporation, commented, "We are continuing to focus on the value
enhancement of our portfolio within a difficult economy and
hospitality sector. During the third quarter we made significant
progress on improvements to our Tampa and Savannah assets. We
expect to complete the repositioning of these hotels in early 2009,
on time and on budget. As well, in early October we finalized the
brand conversion of our newest acquisition in Hampton, Virginia to
the Crowne Plaza Hampton Marina. We are six weeks ahead of schedule
with renovations there and expect to complete the hotel's
repositioning in February 2009. Additionally, we continued to gain
market share at our newly opened hotels in Hollywood, Florida and
Jeffersonville, Indiana, albeit at a somewhat slower pace than
anticipated." Sims continued, "Operationally, our overall results
for the quarter have been hampered by the repositioning and ramp-up
efforts taking place at many of our properties. In light of this,
as well as a turbulent economy and the heavy fall hurricane season
impacting near term consumer demand, we are revising guidance for
the year. We believe our business model is sound and the end result
of our significant asset improvement efforts will be stronger
operating results and increased long-term value for our investors."
Operating Results The Company reported consolidated total revenue
of approximately $17.2 million, an increase of approximately $0.5
million or 2.7 percent, for the three-month period ended September
30, 2008. This compares to total revenue of approximately $16.7
million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2007. For
the third quarter, the Company also reported a consolidated net
loss of approximately $0.5 million, or $0.08 per share, as compared
to consolidated net income of approximately $0.4 million, or $0.06
per share, for the comparable 2007 period. Operating income for the
quarter decreased to approximately $0.8 million, as compared to
approximately $2.3 million for the third quarter of 2007. For the
third quarter, FFO was approximately $1.1 million, or $0.11 per
share, compared to approximately $1.9 million, or $0.18 per share,
for the third quarter of 2007. During the quarter, the Company
reported an unrealized gain of approximately $0.1 million on the
value of its interest rate swap. The interest rate swap is required
by the Company's lenders on its revolving credit facility. FFO is a
non-GAAP financial measure within the meaning of the rules of the
Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company defines FFO as net
income excluding extraordinary items, depreciation and minority
interest. Management believes FFO is a key measure of a REIT's
performance and should be considered along with, but not as an
alternative to, net income and cash flow as a measure of the
Company's operating performance. A reconciliation of this non-GAAP
financial measure is included in the accompanying financial tables.
Portfolio Operating Performance "Same-store" key operating
statistics for six of the Company's properties for the quarters
ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 are presented in the following
tables. These statistics do not include the Sheraton Louisville
Riverside, which opened in May 2008, the Crowne Plaza Hollywood
Beach Resort, which was acquired through a joint venture in August
2007 and opened in September 2007, the Company's property in Tampa,
Florida, which was acquired in October 2007 and is temporarily
closed for renovations, or its property in Hampton, Virginia, which
was acquired in April 2008. Quarter Ended Quarter Ended Sept 30,
2008 Sept 30, 2007 Variance Occupancy % 65.4% 69.3% -5.6% Average
Daily Rate ("ADR") $116.10 $119.24 -2.6% Revenue per Available Room
("RevPAR") $75.96 $82.62 -8.1% For the quarter ended September 30,
2008, this same-store portfolio realized an 8.1 percent decrease in
RevPAR over the same period in 2007. The RevPAR decrease was the
result of a 5.6 percent decrease in occupancy compounded by a 2.6
percent decrease in ADR. Same-store revenue and RevPAR were
impacted by the planned ongoing renovation of the Company's
property in Savannah, Georgia. For the same three-month period,
same-store room revenue decreased to approximately $10.7 million in
2008 versus approximately $11.7 million in 2007. Nine Months Nine
Months Ended Ended Sept 30, 2008 Sept 30, 2007 Variance Occupancy %
68.0% 71.9% -5.4% ADR $120.25 $119.04 1.0% RevPAR $81.77 $85.61
-4.5% For the first nine months of 2008, the same-store portfolio
generated a 1.0 percent increase in ADR over the comparable period
in 2007. For the same nine-month period, same-store room revenue
decreased to approximately $34.4 million versus approximately $35.9
million in 2007. Balance Sheet/Liquidity At September 30, 2008, the
Company had approximately $9.0 million of available cash and cash
equivalents, approximately $2.5 million of which is reserved for
capital improvements and certain other expenses. The Company has
approximately $67.2 million outstanding on its $80.0 million
revolving line of credit, which has been deployed primarily to fund
the acquisition and renovation of the Sheraton Louisville Riverside
Hotel, and the Company's equity contributions to its joint venture
with The Carlyle Group for the purchase of the Crowne Plaza
Hollywood Beach Resort and junior participation in the repurchase
of a portion of the mortgage loan, as well as the Company's
acquisitions of its Tampa, Florida and Hampton, Virginia properties
and renovations currently taking place at both of these assets. The
Company believes that the additional borrowing capacity on its
revolving line of credit, as well as other capital resources,
provide it sufficient capital to complete ongoing renovations and
meet working capital requirements. In addition, the Company has no
significant debt maturing before July 2010. Dividend On October 10,
2008, the Company paid a cash dividend of $0.17 per share of common
stock payable to shareholders and unitholders of record as of the
close of business on Monday, September 15, 2008. In light of
ongoing challenging economic conditions, the Company is evaluating
the merits of reducing its future dividend payments in order to
align the dividend payout with current market conditions.
Management expects to complete this evaluation and review with the
Board of Directors later this year and does not expect to make a
decision on the level of future dividends until that review is
completed. Portfolio Update As of September 30, 2008, total assets
were approximately $203.2 million, including approximately $152.3
million of net investment in hotel properties, approximately $21.8
million of properties under development, plus approximately $10.6
million for the Company's joint venture investment in the Crowne
Plaza Hollywood Beach Resort. The Company also reported the
following portfolio developments: -- At the Hilton Savannah DeSoto,
an $11.0 million renovation and product improvement plan is nearing
completion. During the second and third quarters of this year, the
hotel's lobby was expanded and completely renovated, resulting in
significant disruption to the hotel's income stream. As of
September 30, 2008, the Company has incurred costs totaling
approximately $7.3 million toward this renovation. Product
improvement is expected to be completed in January 2009, as
originally anticipated and on budget. -- At the Company's Tampa,
Florida asset, extensive renovations are underway and are expected
to be completed early in the first quarter of 2009, as originally
projected. Currently closed for renovations, the reconfigured
225-room hotel will feature 10,000 square feet of meeting space, a
full service restaurant, outdoor pool and approximately 250 surface
parking spaces. As of September 30, 2008, the Company has incurred
costs totaling approximately $8.0 million of the budgeted $23.0
million toward the repositioning of this asset. -- At the Company's
Hampton, Virginia asset, a $4.5 million renovation and product
improvement plan is currently underway. As of September 30, 2008,
the Company has incurred costs totaling approximately $3.4 million
toward this renovation. Product improvement is expected to be
completed during the first quarter of 2009, with the hotel
remaining open throughout the renovation process. -- On September
24, 2008, the Company received the 2008 Developer of the Year Award
from Intercontinental Hotels Group (IHG) [LON: IHG, NYSE: IHG
(ADRs)] for achieving distinction in upscale hotel development. The
Company also received from IHG the 2008 Renovation Award for its
joint venture property with The Carlyle Group, the Crowne Plaza
Hollywood Beach Resort. The Crowne Plaza Hollywood Beach Resort was
one of 113 properties selected among more than 3,800 hotels for
successfully completing major modernization and renovation
initiatives in order to enhance guest experience. The awards were
presented at the 2008 IHG Americas Investors & Leadership
Conference in Los Angeles. Subsequent Events On October 9, 2008 the
Company announced it had completed the conversion of its Hampton,
Virginia hotel to the Crowne Plaza brand. The Crowne Plaza Hampton
Marina is the Company's fourth Crowne Plaza asset and sixth IHG
branded hotel. The conversion as well as a substantial portion of
the renovations were completed six weeks ahead of original
projections. The Crowne Plaza conversion is pursuant to a 10-year
franchise agreement through the Company's franchising entity,
Holiday Hospitality Franchising, Inc., with IHG. On October 22,
2008, Company received the Stakeholder of the Year Award for the
Crowne Plaza Hampton Marina. The award was presented by the
Downtown Hampton Development Partnership in recognition of a
business or individual that contributed significantly to the city's
new development or redevelopment over the past year. Hampton,
Virginia is part of the Norfolk MSA, a major U.S. lodging market.
Outlook and Market Trends With regard to guidance for 2008,
management expects RevPAR growth to be slightly negative and FFO
per share to be in the range of $0.78 to $0.84 for the year
excluding the impact of the interest rate swap on the Company's
credit facility. These projections are based on occupancy and rate
estimates that are consistent with Year 2008 trend forecasts by
Smith Travel Research for the market segments in which the Company
operates. The FFO forecast reflects management's expectation that
the lodging environment will remain challenging through year-end
due to a weaker economy, higher travel costs and decreased consumer
spending. The forecast is also predicated on continuing renovations
at the Company's Savannah and Hampton hotels and improved operating
results at the Company's newly opened Louisville and Hollywood,
Florida properties. Potential substantial changes in interest rates
could have an adverse impact on financial results and FFO in 2008
as mark-to-market non- cash interest rate swap adjustments may be
required on the Company's credit facility. Projected 2008 net
income to projected FFO (excluding the effect of the interest rate
swap) are provided in the following tables. Reconciliation Table:

$0.11 $0.18 $0.55 $0.71 Industry analysts and investors use Funds
from Operations, FFO, as a supplemental operating performance
measure of an equity REIT. FFO is calculated in accordance with the
definition that was adopted by the Board of Governors of the
National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, NAREIT. FFO,
as defined by NAREIT, represents net income or loss determined in
accordance with GAAP, excluding extraordinary items as defined
under GAAP and gains or losses from sales of previously depreciated
operating real estate assets, plus certain non-cash items such as
real estate asset depreciation and amortization, and after
adjustment for any minority interest from unconsolidated
partnerships and joint ventures. Historical cost accounting for
real estate assets in accordance with GAAP implicitly assumes that
the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time.
Since real estate values instead have historically risen or fallen
with market conditions, many investors and analysts have considered
the presentation of operating results for real estate companies
that use historical cost accounting to be insufficient by itself.
Thus, NAREIT created FFO as a supplemental measure of REIT
operating performance that excludes historical cost depreciation,
among other items, from GAAP net income. Management believes that
the use of FFO, combined with the required GAAP presentations, has
improved the understanding of the operating results of REITs among
the investing public and made comparisons of REIT operating results
more meaningful. Management considers FFO to be a useful measure of
adjusted net income (loss) for reviewing comparative operating and
financial performance because we believe FFO is most directly
comparable to net income (loss), which remains the primary measure
of performance, because by excluding gains or losses related to
sales of previously depreciated operating real estate assets and
excluding real estate asset depreciation and amortization, FFO
assists in comparing the operating performance of a company's real
estate between periods or as compared to different companies.
Although FFO is intended to be a REIT industry standard, other
companies may not calculate FFO in the same manner as we do, and
investors should not assume that FFO as reported by us is
comparable to FFO as reported by other REITs. DATASOURCE: MHI
