“We are pleased with the performance of our portfolio during the third quarter as we continued to outperform the hotel industry’s solid growth,” said Jon E. Bortz, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Pebblebrook Hotel Trust. “Despite moderating economic trends, the hotel industry continued to generate healthy RevPAR growth through demand that outpaced limited new supply, leading to increased occupancy and pricing power that delivered attractive ADR growth. With the majority of our major property renovations and repositionings now complete, combined with significant upside opportunity at the hotel level through our asset management initiatives and implementation of our best practice programs, we believe we will continue to outperform the industry over the next several years.”

Third Quarter Highlights

• Pro forma RevPAR, ADR and Occupancy: Pro forma room revenue per available room (“Pro forma RevPAR”) in the third quarter of 2012 increased 6.3 percent over the same period of 2011 to $187.18. Pro forma average daily rate (“Pro forma ADR”) grew 3.7 percent over the third quarter of 2011 to $215.69, while Pro forma Occupancy increased 2.5 percent to 86.8 percent.
• Pro forma Hotel EBITDA: The hotels generated $37.5 million of Pro forma Hotel EBITDA for the quarter ended September 30, 2012, an improvement of 15.8 percent compared to the same period of 2011. Pro forma Hotel Revenues increased 5.2 percent, while Pro forma Hotel Expenses rose 1.1 percent. As a result, the Company’s Pro forma Hotel EBITDA Margin was 31.0 percent for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 and represents an increase of 283 basis points as compared to the same period last year.
• Adjusted EBITDA: The Company’s Adjusted EBITDA increased 33.8 percent, or $8.9 million, to $35.4 million, from $26.5 million in the prior year period.
• Adjusted FFO: The Company’s Adjusted FFO grew 26.1 percent to $22.0 million, from $17.5 million in the prior year period.
• Capital Investments: During the third quarter of 2012, the Company invested $12.3 million of capital throughout its portfolio, including $2.2 million at the Westin Gaslamp Quarter, $1.3 million at the Hotel Milano, $1.2 million at the Sir Francis Drake and $1.1 million at the Mondrian Hotel.
• Dividends: On September 14, 2012, the Company declared a $0.12 per share quarterly dividend on its common shares, a $0.4921875 per share quarterly dividend on its 7.875% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares and a $0.50 per share quarterly dividend on its 8.00% Series B Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares.

“We were able to grow portfolio-wide Pro forma RevPAR 6.3 percent in the third quarter, well in excess of the industry’s 5.1 percent, despite a weaker September than expected, particularly in Manhattan, and sluggish growth in business travel. This outperformance, combined with our strong expense controls which limited portfolio-wide hotel expense growth to just 1.1 percent, we were able to drive Hotel EBITDA 15.8 percent higher over the prior year and improve operating margins by 283 basis points,” noted Mr. Bortz. “We’re excited about the progress we’ve made in improving operating performance since acquiring our hotels and are encouraged by the increasingly positive impact our array of best practice programs are having on our portfolio.”

Capital Reinvestment

In October 2012, the renovation, reconfiguration and expansion of the meeting space and back of house at the Affinia Manhattan was completed, creating 2,200 square feet of additional meeting space. The renovation of the lobby and entry of the property is expected to be complete by the end of the first quarter of 2013. The Company expects to fund its 49% pro rata interest of the total project costs with available cash.

In September 2012, the Company commenced a reconfiguration and redesign of the lobby at the Mondrian Los Angeles. As part of this enhancement, additional meeting and function space are being created. This project is expected to be completed in December 2012.

“The recently completed capital investment programs at the Westin Gaslamp Quarter, Sheraton Delfina and Monaco Seattle, along with the prior year’s renovations of Affinia Manhattan, Sir Francis Drake, Minneapolis Grand and InterContinental Buckhead, have provided us with a sizable opportunity to generate higher room rates and increase RevPAR penetration, which should substantially increase profitability and cash flow at each of these properties in 2013 and beyond,” continued Mr. Bortz. “Guest reviews and results at all of these properties following our renovations continue to be very positive.”

The Company remains on track to close the Hotel Milano on November 1, 2012 in order to proceed with the planned $12.5 million comprehensive renovation, repositioning and expansion of the hotel, which includes the creation of eight additional guest rooms, as well as reconcepting the restaurant and all food and beverage operations. The renovation is anticipated to be complete in the first quarter of 2013 and the hotel will be renamed upon reopening.

In January 2013, the Company, along with its joint venture partner, expect to commence an $18.0 to $20.0 million comprehensive renovation, reconfiguration and expansion of the Affinia 50, which includes renovating the guest rooms, corridors and public areas. The reconfiguration of the hotel will increase the number of guest rooms from 210 to 251. This project is expected to be complete by the end of the third quarter of 2013. The Company expects to fund its 49 percent pro rata interest of the total project costs with available cash.

“We are thrilled with the opportunity to increase the room count at the Affinia 50 by nearly 20%,” noted Mr. Bortz. “This increase in rooms, coupled with the full property renovation, provides us with a unique opportunity to significantly upgrade the Affinia 50, while at the same time expanding our presence in one of the most desirable areas of Manhattan through a highly attractive return on capital investment. Given the breadth of the renovation, we expect EBITDA displacement to be between $5.0 and $6.0 million during the first three quarters of 2013, of which 49 percent will impact Pebblebrook. While the displacement represents a material disruption in 2013, we believe this investment project will yield outsized returns in the future, similar to the results achieved with the same kind of project recently completed a year ago at the Affinia Manhattan.”

Acquisitions

• On July 9, 2012, the Company acquired Hotel Vintage Park Seattle for $32.5 million. The 125-room, AAA four-diamond, full-service, boutique hotel is centrally located in the core of the downtown retail and financial center in Seattle, Washington.
• On July 9, 2012, the Company acquired the Hotel Vintage Plaza Portland for $30.5 million. The 117-room, AAA four-diamond, full-service, boutique hotel is located in the heart of downtown Portland, Oregon.

• The Company has entered into a contract to acquire the Hotel Palomar San Francisco for $58.0 million and expects to close on the transaction in the near future. The 196-room, AAA four-diamond, full-service boutique hotel is located in downtown San Francisco, California.

“We’re very enthusiastic about the $276 million of high-quality acquisitions this year in our target markets of San Francisco, Seattle, Portland and Los Angeles,” commented Mr. Bortz. “We continue to believe these properties offer excellent opportunities for outsized RevPAR growth, margin expansion and value creation through renovations and the implementation of our asset management and best practice initiatives,” continued Mr. Bortz.

The amended credit facility was increased to $300 million and is comprised of a $200 million unsecured revolving credit facility and a five year, $100 million unsecured term loan with a current interest rate of 2.55 percent based on the Company’s current leverage ratio. The pricing under the amended and restated credit facility was significantly reduced and the facility now matures in July 2016 with an option to extend to July 2017.
• From August 2012 through October 2012, the Company issued and sold 1,821,332 common shares under its ATM offering program at an average price of $24.76 per share, for total net proceeds of $44.4 million.

“We are thrilled with our continued ability to access the debt and equity markets.

This press release includes certain non-GAAP financial measures as defined under Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Rules to supplement the Company’s consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP").

These measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative to, measures prepared in accordance with GAAP and may be different from similarly titled non-GAAP measures used by other companies. In addition, these non-GAAP measures are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. Non-GAAP measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with the Company’s results of operations determined in accordance with GAAP.

Funds from Operations - Funds from operations (“FFO”) represents net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), plus real estate-related depreciation and amortization and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships. The Company considers FFO a useful measure of performance for an equity REIT because it facilitates an understanding of the operating performance of its 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, the Company believes that FFO provides a meaningful indication of its performance. The Company also considers FFO an appropriate performance measure given its wide use by investors and analysts. The Company computes FFO in accordance with standards established by the Board of Governors of NAREIT in its March 1995 White Paper (as amended in November 1999 and April 2002), which may differ from the methodology for calculating FFO utilized by other equity REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to that of other REITs. Further, FFO does not represent amounts available for management’s discretionary use because of needed capital replacement or expansion, debt service obligations or other commitments and uncertainties, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund the Company’s cash needs, including its ability to make distributions. The Company presents FFO per diluted share calculations that are based on the outstanding dilutive common shares plus the outstanding Operating Partnership units for the periods presented.

Earnings before Interest, Taxes, and Depreciation and Amortization ("EBITDA") - The Company believes that EBITDA provides investors a useful financial measure to evaluate its operating performance, excluding the impact of our capital structure (primarily interest expense) and our asset base (primarily depreciation and amortization).

The Company also evaluates its performance by reviewing Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted FFO, because it believes that adjusting EBITDA and FFO to exclude certain recurring and non-recurring items described below provides useful supplemental information regarding the Company's ongoing operating performance and that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted FFO, when combined with the primary GAAP presentation of net income (loss), more completely describes the Company's operating performance. The Company adjusts EBITDA and FFO for the following items, which may occur in any period, and refers to these measures as Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted FFO:

- Non-Cash Ground Rent: The Company excludes the non-cash amortization expense of the Company's ground lease asset.

- Acquisition Costs: The Company excludes acquisition transaction costs expensed during the period because it believes that including these costs in EBITDA and FFO does not reflect the underlying financial performance of the Company and its hotels.

- Amortization of LTIP Units: The Company excludes the non-cash amortization of LTIP Units expensed during the period.

- Management contract termination costs: The Company excludes one-time management contract termination costs expensed during the period because it believes that including these costs in EBITDA and FFO does not reflect the underlying financial performance of the Company and its hotels.

The Company’s presentation of FFO in accordance with the NAREIT White Paper and EBITDA, and as adjusted by the Company, should not be considered as an alternative to net income (computed in accordance with GAAP) as an indicator of the Company’s financial performance or to cash flow from operating activities (computed in accordance with GAAP) as an indicator of its liquidity. The table above is a reconciliation of the Company’s FFO and EBITDA calculations to net income in accordance with GAAP.
