OREANDA-NEWS. August 03, 2016. Red Lion Hotels Corporation (“RLHC" or the "company”) (NYSE:RLH), a growing hospitality company that operates and franchises upscale, midscale and economy hotels, today reported second quarter 2016 results.

Highlights Second Quarter 2016

  • Systemwide same store RevPAR grew 4.3%
  • Total revenues increased 23% year-over-year
  • Consolidated net income increased to \\$0.2 million from a net loss of \\$1.9 million in 2015; EPS was \\$0.01 in 2016 – an increase of \\$0.11 year-over-year
  • Adjusted EBITDA grew 45% year-over-year
  • Opened two new franchise hotels and one company operated hotel in the second quarter
  • Launched Hello Rewards App with Keyless Entry & announced innovative Wi-Fi Customer Affinity Program

RLHC President and Chief Executive Officer Greg T. Mount stated, “RLHC delivered another strong quarter of RevPAR growth across all of our segments and ahead of comparable industry segments.   The success of our initiatives is improving our EBITDA, and we are encouraged by the revenue gains in our franchise operations. The majority of the renovations in our joint venture hotels are substantially complete and we anticipate improved productivity from these repositioned hotels. The fundamental changes we have initiated over a year ago have equipped RLHC to perform well in a challenging lodging environment.  We are well positioned to pursue various growth avenues and remain on track to meeting our goal of 100 hotels in 100 weeks.”

Second Quarter 2016 Results

Franchise hotels revenue reached \\$4.1 million, up 28% compared to the second quarter of 2015. Segment operating income for the quarter improved significantly to 13.7% versus 0.9% in the same period of 2015.

Comparable revenue from company operated hotels was \\$28.5 million, flat, compared to the same period a year ago.  RevPAR for company operated hotels increased 1.5%, generated primarily by a 1.0% increase in rate and occupancy increase of 40 basis points.   RevPAR was adversely impacted by our extensive renovations and upgrade activities at our company operated hotels. Comparable company operated hotel gross profit was \\$10.0 million, comparable to \\$10.1 million in the prior year.  Systemwide same store midscale RevPAR grew 3.5%. Outperforming the industry, same store franchised economy RevPAR increased 7.7%, and same store franchised midscale increased 6.0%.

Entertainment revenue for the second quarter was \\$7.0 million compared with \\$2.1 million in the prior year period, increasing more than 240% year over year. Segment operating income was \\$0.9 million versus a loss of \\$0.3 million in the second quarter of 2015. The strong results in the Entertainment segment were driven by high demand for The Book of Mormon, which debuted in Hawaii for a limited production run and ended in early May. The company does not anticipate the pace of revenue contribution from its Entertainment segment to continue into the second half of 2016.

Consolidated net income attributable to RLHC in the second quarter of 2016 was \\$0.2 million compared to net loss of \\$1.9 million in the same period a year ago.  Net income per share for the second quarter of 2016 was \\$0.01 versus net loss per share of \\$0.10 for the prior year period.

After adjusting for special items, adjusted net income per share for the second quarter 2016 was \\$0.04 versus an adjusted loss per share of \\$0.02 in 2015.  Total company Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter was \\$6.4 million compared to \\$4.4 million in the prior year period.

Balance Sheet

At June 30, 2016, the company had \\$27.4 million in cash and cash equivalents, \\$10.0 million in restricted cash and \\$12.7 million in short-term investments. Additionally, the company had consolidated long-term debt of \\$100.4 million, borrowed by the company’s joint venture entities.

Capital expenditures for the six months ended June 30, 2016, totaled \\$21.0 million; the majority of which was funded with proceeds from debt financing associated with the company’s joint ventures.

Certain operating results for the periods included in this report are shown on a comparable hotel basis. Comparable hotels are defined as properties that were operated by our company for at least one full calendar year as of the beginning of the current period other than hotels for which comparable results were not available. Comparable results excludes one hotel that was converted from owned to managed, one hotel that was converted from owned to franchised and one hotel that was closed.  In addition, Hotel RL Baltimore, Hotel RL Washington DC, and Red Lion Hotel Atlanta International Airport are excluded as these properties have not been open since the beginning of both comparable periods. 
  
We utilize these comparable measures because management finds them a useful tool to perform more meaningful comparisons of past, present and future operating results and as a means to evaluate the results of core, ongoing operations. We believe they are a complement to reported operating results. Comparable operating results are not intended to represent reported operating results defined by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"), and such information should not be considered as an alternative to reported information or any other measure of performance prescribed by GAAP.

EBITDA is defined as net income (loss), before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. We believe it is a useful financial performance measure due to the significance of our long-lived assets and level of indebtedness.

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted net income (loss) are additional measures of financial performance. We believe that the inclusion or exclusion of certain special items, such as gains and losses on asset dispositions and impairments, is necessary to provide the most accurate measure of core operating results and as a means to evaluate comparative results.

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted net income (loss) are commonly used measures of performance in the industry. We utilize these measures because management finds them a useful tool to perform more meaningful comparisons of past, present and future operating results and as a means to evaluate the results of core, ongoing operations. We believe they are a complement to reported operating results. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted net income (loss) are not intended to represent net income (loss) defined by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"), and such information should not be considered as an alternative to reported information or any other measure of performance prescribed by GAAP. In addition, other companies in our industry may calculate EBITDA and in particular Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted net income (loss) differently than we do or may not calculate them at all, limiting the usefulness of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted net income (loss) as comparative measures.

 
           
The following is a reconciliation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss) for the periods presented:
