HOSPITALITY PROPERTIES TRUST

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(dollars in thousands, except per share data)

 

Note 1.  Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of Hospitality Properties Trust and its subsidiaries, or we, our or us, are unaudited. Certain information and disclosures required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, for complete financial statements have been condensed or omitted. We believe the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. However, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, as amended, or our 2012 Annual Report.  In the opinion of our management, all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation, have been included in these condensed consolidated financial statements.  These condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of HPT and its subsidiaries, all of which are 100% owned directly or indirectly by HPT.  All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. Our operating results for interim periods and those of our managers and tenants are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. Reclassifications have been made to the prior year’s condensed consolidated financial statements to conform to the current year’s presentation.

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts. Actual results could differ from those estimates.  Significant estimates in the condensed consolidated financial statements include the allowance for doubtful accounts, purchase price allocations, useful lives of fixed assets and impairment of real estate and intangible assets.

 

We have determined that each of our taxable REIT subsidiaries, or TRSs, is a variable interest entity, or VIE, as defined under the Consolidation Topic of the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, Accounting Standards CodificationTM.   We have concluded that we must consolidate each of our TRSs because we are the entity with the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact such VIEs’ performance and we have the obligation to absorb the majority of the potential variability in gains and losses of each VIE, with the primary focus on losses, and are, therefore, the primary beneficiary of each VIE.  The assets of our TRSs were $34,156 as of June 30, 2013 and consist primarily of amounts due from certain of our hotel managers and working capital advances to certain of our hotel managers.  These assets can be used to settle obligations of both us and our TRSs.  The liabilities of our TRSs were $26,431 as of June 30, 2013 and consist primarily of amounts payable to certain of our hotel managers.  Creditors have recourse to both us and our TRSs for these liabilities.

 

Note 2.  New Accounting Pronouncements

 

In January 2013, we adopted FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2012-02, Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment. This update gives companies the option to first perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired. The update was effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after September 15, 2012 with early adoption permitted. The implementation of this update did not cause any material changes to the disclosures in, or the presentation of, our condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

In January 2013, we adopted FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-02, Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. This update requires companies to report, in one place, information about reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income, or AOCI. Companies are also required to present details of reclassifications in the disclosure of change in AOCI balances. The update was effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012 with early adoption permitted. The implementation of this update did not cause any material changes to the disclosures in, or the presentation of, our condensed consolidated financial statements.

(dollars in thousands, except per share data)

 

Note 3.  Revenue Recognition

 

We report hotel operating revenues for managed hotels in our condensed consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. We generally recognize hotel operating revenues, consisting primarily of room and food and beverage sales, when services are provided. Our share of the net operating results of our managed hotels in excess of the minimum returns due to us, or additional returns, are generally determined annually. We recognize additional returns due to us under our management agreements at year end when all contingencies are met and the income is earned. We had no deferred additional returns for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012.

 

We recognize rental income from operating leases on a straight line basis over the term of the lease agreements except for one lease in which there is uncertainty regarding the collection of future rent.  Rental income includes $36 and $98 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, of adjustments necessary to record rent on the straight line basis and ($60) and $294 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively, of adjustments necessary to record rent on the straight line basis.

 

We determine percentage rent due to us under our leases annually and recognize it at year end when all contingencies have been met and the rent is earned. We had deferred percentage rent of $672 and $1,282 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, and $1,253 and $2,562 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively.

 

We own all the capital expenditure reserves, or FF&E reserves, for our hotels. We do not report the amounts which are escrowed as FF&E reserves for our managed hotels as FF&E reserve income. We report deposits by our third party hotel tenants into the escrow accounts as FF&E reserve income.

 

Note 4.  Per Common Share Amounts

 

We calculate per common share amounts using the weighted average number of our common shares of beneficial interest, $.01 par value, or our common shares, outstanding during the period. We had no dilutive common share equivalents at June 30, 2013 or 2012.

 

Note 5.  Shareholders’ Equity

 

Distributions

 

On each of January 15, 2013, April 15, 2013 and July 15, 2013, we paid a $0.4453125 per share distribution to our Series D preferred shareholders with respect to periods ended January 14, 2013, April 14, 2013 and July 14, 2013, respectively.

 

On each of February 15, 2013 and May 15, 2013, we paid a $0.4375 per share distribution to our Series C preferred shareholders with respect to the periods ended February 14, 2013 and May 14, 2013, respectively.

 

On each of February 22, 2013 and May 24, 2013, we paid a $0.47 per share distribution to our common shareholders.  On July 10, 2013, we declared a $0.47 per share distribution to our common shareholders of record on July 26, 2013. We expect to pay this amount on or about August 23, 2013.

 

Common Share Issuances

 

On March 22, 2013, we sold 16,100,000 of our common shares at a price of $25.55 per share in a public offering for net proceeds of $393,474 after underwriting discounts and other offering expenses.

 

On May 15, 2013, we granted 2,000 of our common shares valued at $30.69 per share, the closing price of our common shares on the New York Stock Exchange, or NYSE, on that day, to each of our five Trustees as part of their annual compensation.

Preferred Share Redemption

 

On July 1, 2013, we redeemed our 6,700,000 outstanding 7.00% Series C cumulative redeemable preferred shares at the standard liquidation preference of $25 per share plus accrued and unpaid distributions to the date of redemption.  We expect to recognize a loss in the 2013 third quarter of $5,627 on the excess of the liquidation preference of the redeemed shares over their carrying amount.

 

Other Comprehensive Income

 

Other comprehensive income represents the unrealized gain on the TravelCenters of America LLC, or TA, shares we own and our share of the comprehensive income of Affiliates Insurance Company, or AIC.  See Note 10 for further information regarding these investments.

 

Note 6.  Indebtedness

 

We have a $750,000 unsecured revolving credit facility that is available for general business purposes, including acquisitions. The maturity date of our revolving credit facility is September 7, 2015 and, subject to the payment of an extension fee and meeting certain other conditions, includes an option for us to extend the stated maturity date by one year to September 7, 2016. In addition, our revolving credit facility includes a feature under which maximum borrowings may be increased to up to $1,500,000 in certain circumstances. Borrowings under our revolving credit facility bear interest at a rate of LIBOR plus a premium of 130 basis points. We also pay a facility fee of 30 basis points per annum on the total amount of lending commitments under our revolving credit facility. Both the interest rate premium and the facility fee are subject to adjustment based upon changes to our credit ratings. As of June 30, 2013, the interest rate payable on borrowings under our revolving credit facility was 1.50%.  The weighted average annual interest rate for borrowings under our revolving credit facility was 1.50% and 1.51% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, and 1.58% for the six months ended June 30, 2012.  We had no amounts outstanding under our revolving credit facility during the three months ended June 30, 2012. As of June 30, 2013, we had $90,000 outstanding and $660,000 available under our revolving credit facility.

 

We have a $400,000 unsecured term loan.  Our term loan matures on March 13, 2017, and is prepayable without penalty at any time.  In addition, our term loan includes a feature under which maximum borrowings may be increased to up to $500,000 in certain circumstances. Our term loan bears interest at a rate of LIBOR plus a premium, which was 145 basis points as of June 30, 2013. As of June 30, 2013, the interest rate for the amount outstanding under our term loan was 1.65%.  The weighted average interest rate for the amount outstanding under our term loan was 1.66% for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 1.70% for both the three months ended June 30, 2012 and the period March 12, 2012 (the date we entered into the term loan agreement) to June 30, 2012, respectively.

 

Our credit facility agreement and our term loan agreement provide for acceleration of payment of all amounts due thereunder upon the occurrence and continuation of certain events of default, including a change of control of us and the termination of our business management agreement with Reit Management & Research LLC, or RMR.  Our revolving credit facility agreement and our term loan agreement contain a number of covenants that restrict our ability to incur debt in excess of calculated amounts, restrict our ability to make distributions under certain circumstances and generally require us to maintain certain financial ratios.  We believe we were in compliance with the terms and conditions of our revolving credit facility agreement and our term loan agreement at June 30, 2013.

 

On June 6, 2013, we issued $300,000 of 4.5% unsecured senior notes due 2023 in a public offering for net proceeds of $297,132 after underwriting and other offering expenses.

 

Note 7.  Real Estate Properties

 

At June 30, 2013, we owned 475 properties consisting of 290 hotels and 185 travel centers that were operated under eleven management or lease agreements.

During the six months ended June 30, 2013, we funded $143,608 of improvements to certain of our properties that pursuant to the terms of our management and lease agreements with our hotel managers and tenants resulted in increases in our contractual annual minimum returns and rents of $11,534.

 

On May 17, 2013, we acquired a 426 room full service hotel located in Duluth, GA for $29,700, excluding related acquisition costs of $241.  We accounted for this transaction as a business combination.  The following table summarizes our preliminary allocation of the acquisition cost to estimated fair value of the assets we acquired.  This allocation is based on preliminary estimates and may change upon the completion of a third party appraisal.

On June 28, 2013, we acquired the fee interest in the Royal Sonesta Hotel New Orleans in New Orleans, LA, or the New Orleans Hotel, for $120,500, excluding acquisition costs, from the third party owner from which we previously leased this hotel.  We accounted for this transaction as an acquisition of assets. In connection with this acquisition, we incurred acquisition costs of $309 which we capitalized and we reclassified $18,958 of intangible assets related to our previous leasehold interest in the hotel to land and building.  The following table summarizes our allocation of the acquisition cost to estimated fair value of the assets we acquired.

Simultaneously with this acquisition, the lease with the third party terminated and we entered into an amended and restated management agreement with Sonesta International Hotels Corporation, or Sonesta. See Notes 10 and 11 for further information about this agreement.

 

On July 1, 2013, we acquired the fee interest in a travel center in Montgomery, NY we previously leased from a third party and subleased to TA.  We also acquired land parcels adjacent to three of our other travel centers and leased these to TA.  The aggregate consideration for these transactions was $6,323.  See Note 10 for further information about these transactions.

 

On August 1, 2013, we acquired a 219 room full service hotel in Florham Park, NJ for $52,750, excluding closing costs. See Note 11 for further information about this transaction.

 

On February 27, 2013, we announced that we had entered a letter of intent with NH Hoteles, S.A., or NH Hoteles, for investments with NH Hoteles in Latin America, Europe and the United States totaling approximately $375,000.  On April 24, 2013, NH Hoteles notified us that it was unable to obtain the necessary bank approvals to allow it to complete the transaction as outlined in the letter of intent.  We subsequently held discussions with NH Hoteles about possible modifications or alternatives to the proposed transaction originally announced but were unable to reach agreement and are currently no longer pursuing this transaction.

 

Note 8. Income Taxes

 

We have elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust, or REIT, under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and, accordingly are generally not subject to federal and most state income taxation on our operating income provided we distribute our taxable income to our shareholders and meet certain organization and operating

requirements.  We are subject to income tax in Canada, Puerto Rico and certain states despite our REIT status.  Also, we lease our managed hotels to our wholly owned TRSs that, unlike most of our other subsidiaries, file a separate consolidated federal corporate income tax return and are subject to federal, state and foreign income taxes.  Our consolidated income tax provision included in our condensed consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income includes the income tax provision related to the operations of our TRSs and certain state and foreign income taxes incurred by us despite our REIT status.

 

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, we recognized a current income tax expense of $907 and $1,637, respectively, which includes $547 and $897, respectively, of federal taxes, $31 and $62, respectively, of foreign taxes and $329 and $678, respectively, of certain state taxes that are payable without regard to our REIT status and TRS tax loss carry forwards. In addition, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, we recognized a deferred tax benefit of $6,857 and $7,069, respectively, related primarily to the restructuring of certain of our TRSs.

Note 10. Related Person Transactions

 

Relationship with TA

 

TA is our former 100% owned subsidiary and our largest tenant, and we are TA’s largest shareholder.  TA was created as a separate public company in 2007 as a result of its spin off from us.  As of June 30, 2013, we owned 2,540,000 common shares of TA, representing approximately 8.6% of TA’s outstanding common shares.  Mr. Barry Portnoy, one of our Managing Trustees, is a managing director of TA.  Mr. Thomas O’Brien, an officer of RMR and a former officer

(dollars in thousands, except per share data)

 

of us prior to the TA spin off, is President and Chief Executive Officer and the other managing director of TA.  Mr. Arthur Koumantzelis, who was one of our Independent Trustees prior to the TA spin off, serves as an independent director of TA.  RMR provides management services to both us and TA.

 

TA is the lessee of 37% of our real estate properties, at cost, as of June 30, 2013.  Additional financial information about TA may be found on the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC’s, website by entering TA’s name at http://www.sec.gov/edgar/searchedgar/companysearch.html.  Reference to TA’s financial information on this external website is presented to comply with applicable accounting regulations of the SEC.  Except for such financial information contained therein as is required to be included herein under such regulations, TA’s public filings and other information located in external websites are not incorporated by reference into these financial statements.   See below for further information relating to our TA leases.

 

TA has two leases with us, the TA No. 1 lease and the TA No. 2 lease, pursuant to which TA leases 185 travel centers from us.  The TA No. 1 lease is for 145 travel centers that TA operates under the “TravelCenters of America” or “TA” brand names.  The TA No. 2 lease is for 40 travel centers that TA operates under the “Petro” brand name.  The TA No. 1 lease expires on December 31, 2022.  The TA No. 2 lease expires on June 30, 2024, and may be extended by TA for up to two additional periods of 15 years each.  Both of these leases require TA to: (1) make payments to us of minimum rents; (2) pay us percentage rent equal to 3% of non-fuel revenues and 0.3% of fuel revenues above applicable base year revenues subject to certain limitations (with the first $2,500 of percentage rents under the TA No. 2 lease waived by us); (3) pay us at lease expiration an amount equal to an estimate of the cost of removing underground storage tanks on our leased sites and (4) maintain the leased travel centers, including structural and non-structural components.  In addition to minimum and percentage rent, TA is obligated to pay us ground rent of approximately $5,150 per year under the TA No. 1 lease.  Previously deferred rent due from TA of $107,085 and $42,915 is due in December 2022 and June 2024, respectively.  We have not recognized any of the deferred rent as rental income or as rents receivable due to uncertainties regarding future collection.

 

We recognized rental income of $53,948 and $51,592 for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $107,438 and $102,909 for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, under our leases with TA.  Rental income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 includes $432 and $899 and ($69) and $287, respectively, of adjustments necessary to record the scheduled rent increase on our TA No. 1 lease and the estimated future payment to us by TA for the cost of removing underground storage tanks on a straight line basis.  As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, we had accruals for unpaid amounts of $30,650 and $29,300, respectively, owed to us by TA, excluding any deferred rents, which accrued amounts are included in other assets on our condensed consolidated balance sheets.  We had deferred percentage rent under our TA No. 1 lease of $672 and $471 for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $1,282 and $1,200 for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.  We determine percentage rent due under our TA No. 1 lease annually and recognize it at year end when all contingencies are met.

 

Under the TA No. 1 and No. 2 leases, TA may request that we fund approved amounts for renovations, improvements and equipment at leased travel centers in return for increases in TA’s minimum annual rent.  We are not required to fund these improvements and TA is not required to sell them to us.  For the six months ended June 30, 2013, we funded $45,229 for capital improvements purchased from TA under this lease provision; and, as a result, TA’s minimum annual rent payable to us increased by approximately $3,844.

 

On April 15, 2013, TA entered an agreement with Shell Oil Products US, or Shell, pursuant to which Shell has agreed to construct a network of natural gas fueling lanes at up to 100 of TA’s travel centers located along the U.S. interstate highway system, including travel centers TA leases from us.  In connection with that agreement, on April 15, 2013, we and TA amended our leases to specify the economic equivalent for natural gas sales to diesel fuel sales for the calculation of percentage rent payable to us under the leases, with the intended effect that the amount of percentage rent be unaffected by the source of fuel sold, whether diesel fuel or natural gas.  That amendment also made certain administrative changes.  Also on that date, in order to facilitate TA’s agreement with Shell, we entered into a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement with Shell, whereby we agreed to recognize Shell’s license

and other rights with respect to the natural gas fueling lanes at our travel centers leased to TA on certain conditions and in certain circumstances.

 

On July 1, 2013, we purchased land that we previously leased from a third party and subleased to TA under the TA No. 1 lease.  Effective as of that date, rents due to that third party and TA’s reimbursement of those rents to us under the terms of the TA No. 1 lease ceased.  Also on that date, we and TA amended the TA No. 1 lease to reflect our direct lease to TA of that land and certain minor properties adjacent to existing travel centers included in the TA No. 1 lease that we purchased and to increase the annual rent payable by TA to us by 8.5% of our total investment in these properties, or $537.

 

Relationship with RMR

 

We have no employees.  Personnel and various services we require to operate our business are provided to us by RMR.  We have two agreements with RMR to provide management and administrative services to us: (1) a business management agreement, which relates to our business generally, and (2) a property management agreement, which relates to the property level operations of the office building component of only one property in Baltimore, MD, which property is adjacent to a Royal Sonesta hotel.

 

Under our business management agreement with RMR, we acknowledge that RMR also provides services to other companies, including TA and Sonesta.  One of our Managing Trustees, Mr. Barry Portnoy, is Chairman, majority owner and an employee of RMR.  Our other Managing Trustee, Mr. Adam Portnoy, is the son of Mr. Barry Portnoy, and an owner, President, Chief Executive Officer and a director of RMR.  Each of our executive officers is also an officer of RMR, including Mr. Ethan Bornstein, who is the son-in-law of Mr. Barry Portnoy and the brother-in-law of Mr. Adam Portnoy.  Certain of TA’s and Sonesta’s executive officers are officers of RMR.  Our Independent Trustees also serve as independent directors or independent trustees of other public companies to which RMR provides management services.  Mr. Barry Portnoy serves as a managing director or managing trustee of those companies, including TA, and Mr. Adam Portnoy serves as a managing trustee of a majority of those companies, but not TA.  In addition, officers of RMR serve as officers of those companies.

 

Pursuant to our business management and property management agreements with RMR, we recognized aggregate business management fees and property management fees of $10,050 and $9,934 for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $19,967 and $18,582 for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.  These amounts are included in general and administrative expenses in our condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

Relationship with Sonesta

 

On January 31, 2012, pursuant to a series of transactions, we effectively acquired entities that owned the Royal Sonesta Hotel Boston in Cambridge, MA, or the Cambridge Hotel, and had leasehold interests in the New Orleans Hotel, for approximately $150,500.  On that date, in connection with these transactions, we entered into hotel management agreements with Sonesta to manage the Cambridge Hotel and the New Orleans Hotel.  Since that time, we have rebranded additional hotels to Sonesta brands and management.  We currently lease all hotels that we own and which are managed by Sonesta to one of our TRSs.

 

In April 2012, we entered into a pooling agreement with Sonesta that combined our management agreements with Sonesta for hotels that we owned for purposes of calculating gross revenues, payment of hotel operating expenses, payment of fees and distributions and the calculation of minimum returns due to us.  We previously referred to this agreement and combination of hotels and management agreements as our Sonesta No. 1 agreement.  The management agreements for all of our hotels managed by Sonesta, excluding, until June 28, 2013, the New Orleans Hotel, were included in the Sonesta No. 1 agreement.  On June 28, 2013, we acquired the fee interest in the New Orleans Hotel from the third party owner from which we previously leased that hotel and, as a result, the lease with the third party terminated. Simultaneous with this acquisition, we and Sonesta amended and restated the prior management agreement we had with Sonesta for this hotel.  The terms of the amended and restated management agreement are substantially the

(dollars in thousands, except per share data)

 

same as those contained in our other management agreements with Sonesta relating to full service hotels and this management agreement was added to our pooling agreement with Sonesta.  We now refer to the pooling agreement and combination of our 22 Sonesta branded hotels and management agreements as our Sonesta agreement.  See Note 11 for further information about our management agreements with Sonesta.

 

In May 2013, we acquired a full service hotel in Duluth, GA and this hotel has been branded a Sonesta hotel, Sonesta Gwinnett Place.  Sonesta is managing this hotel pursuant to a hotel management agreement on terms consistent with our other applicable hotel management agreements with Sonesta.  This hotel management agreement has been added to the Sonesta agreement.  We expect to invest approximately $4,600 to renovate this hotel to Sonesta brand standards.

 

Pursuant to our management agreements with Sonesta, we incurred management, system and reservation fees payable to Sonesta of $2,379 and $1,173 for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $3,851 and $1,633 for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.  These amounts are included in hotel operating expenses in our condensed consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income.  In addition, we also incurred procurement and construction supervision fees payable to Sonesta in connection with capital expenditures at our hotels managed by Sonesta of $1,141 and zero dollars for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $1,623 and zero dollars for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.  These amounts have been capitalized in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.  Under our hotel management agreements with Sonesta, routine property maintenance, which is expensed, is an operating expense of the hotels and repairs and periodic renovations, which are capitalized, are funded by us, except in the case of the New Orleans Hotel for capital expenditures incurred prior to June 28, 2013, which were borne in large part by the lessor.

 

The stockholders of Sonesta are Mr. Barry Portnoy and Mr. Adam Portnoy, who are our Managing Trustees, and they also serve as directors of Sonesta.  In addition, RMR also provides certain services to Sonesta.

 

Relationship with AIC

 

We, RMR, TA and five other companies to which RMR provides management services each currently own 12.5% of AIC, an Indiana insurance company.  All of our Trustees, all of the trustees and directors of the other publicly held AIC shareholders and nearly all of the directors of RMR currently serve on the board of directors of AIC.  RMR provides management and administrative services to AIC pursuant to a management and administrative services agreement with AIC.  As of June 30, 2013, we have invested $5,209 in AIC since its formation in November 2008.  Although we own less than 20% of AIC, we use the equity method to account for this investment because we believe that we have significant influence over AIC because all of our Trustees are also directors of AIC.  Our investment in AIC had a carrying value of $5,703 and $5,629 as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, which amounts are included in other assets on our condensed consolidated balance sheets.  We recognized income of $79 and $76 for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $155 and $121 for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, related to our investment in AIC.  We and the other shareholders of AIC have purchased property insurance providing $500,000 of coverage pursuant to an insurance program arranged by AIC and with respect to which AIC is a reinsurer of certain coverage amounts.  This program was modified and extended in June 2013 for a one year term and we were charged a premium, including taxes and fees, of $6,842 in connection with that renewal, which amount may be adjusted from time to time as we acquire or dispose of properties that are included in this program.  We periodically consider the possibilities for expanding our insurance relationships with AIC to include other types of insurance and may in the future participate in additional insurance offerings AIC may provide or arrange.  We may invest additional amounts in AIC in the future if the expansion of this insurance business requires additional capital, but we are not obligated to do so.  By participating in this insurance business with RMR and the other companies to which RMR provides management services, we expect that we may benefit financially by possibly reducing our insurance expenses or by realizing our pro rata share of any profits of this insurance business.

 

Note 11. Hotel Management Agreements and Leases

 

Marriott No. 1 agreement. Our lease with Host Hotels & Resorts, Inc., or Host, for 53 hotels which we have historically referred to as our Marriott No. 1 agreement expired on December 31, 2012. As required upon the expiration of the

 

13



 

HOSPITALITY PROPERTIES TRUST

(dollars in thousands, except per share data)

 

agreement, we paid the $50,540 security deposit we held to Host. Effective January 1, 2013, we leased these hotels to one of our TRSs and continued the previously existing hotel brand and management agreements with Marriott International Inc., or Marriott. This management agreement expires in 2024. Because we no longer hold a security deposit for this agreement, the minimum returns we receive under this agreement will be limited to available hotel cash flow after payment of operating expenses.

 

Marriott No. 234 agreement.  During the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, the payments we received under our Marriott No. 234 agreement, which requires annual minimum returns to us of $104,438, were $2,584 and $4,288 less than the minimum amounts contractually required, respectively.  Pursuant to our Marriott No. 234 agreement, Marriott provided us with a limited guarantee for shortfalls up to 90% of our minimum returns through 2019.  During the three months ended June 30, 2013, the amount available under Marriott’s guaranty was replenished by $5,388 of cash flows from these hotels in excess of the guaranteed portion of our minimum returns.  Marriott was not required to make any guarantee payments during the six months ended June 30, 2013 because the hotels generated cash flows in excess of the guaranty threshold amount (90% of the minimum returns due to us).  The available balance of this guaranty was $30,707 as of June 30, 2013. Also, during the period from June 30, 2013 to August 6, 2013, the payments we received for these hotels were $1,729 less than the contractual minimum returns due to us.

 

We currently expect to fund $19,200 of capital improvements during the remainder of 2013 to complete renovations at certain of the hotels included in our Marriott No. 234 agreement. We funded $28,900 during the six months ended June 30, 2013. As we fund these improvements, the annual minimum returns payable to us increase by 9% of the amounts funded.

 

InterContinental agreement.  During the three months ended June 30, 2013, the payments we received under our agreement with InterContinental Hotels Group, plc, or InterContinental, covering 91 hotels and requiring annual minimum returns to us of $135,159, were $5,917 more than the minimum amounts contractually required.  We replenished the available security deposit with the $5,917 of excess payments to recover payment shortfalls applied to the security deposit during the first quarter of 2013.  During the six months ended June 30, 2013 we have been paid all of our minimum returns due for the period.  The available balance of this security deposit was $26,466 as of June 30, 2013.  Also, during the period from June 30, 2013 to August 6, 2013, the payments we received under our InterContinental agreement were $37 less than the minimum amounts contractually required.  We applied the available security deposit to cover these shortfalls.  The remaining balance of the security deposit was $26,429 as of August 6, 2013.

 

When we reduce the amounts of the security deposits we hold for this agreement or any other operating agreements for payment deficiencies, we record income equal to the amounts by which this deposit is reduced up to the minimum return or minimum rent due to us. However, reducing the security deposits does not result in additional cash flow to us of the deficiency amounts, but reducing amounts of security deposits may reduce the refunds due to the respective lessees or managers who have provided us with these deposits upon expiration of the respective lease or management agreement.  The security deposits are non-interest bearing and are not held in escrow.  Under all of our hotel contracts that include a security deposit, any amount of the security deposits which are applied to payment deficits may be replenished from future cash flows from the applicable hotel operations pursuant to the terms of the respective contracts.

 

We currently expect to fund $63,000 of capital improvement during the remainder of 2013 to complete renovations at certain of the hotels included in our InterContinental agreement.  We did not make any fundings during the six months ended June 30, 2013.  As we fund these improvements, the annual minimum returns payable to us increase by 8% of the amounts funded.

 

Sonesta agreement.  Our management agreement with Sonesta provides that we are paid a fixed minimum return equal to 8% of our invested capital, as defined in the management agreement, if gross revenues of the hotels, after payment of hotel operating expenses and base fees to Sonesta, are sufficient to do so.  In addition to recurring capital expenditures, we currently expect to fund an aggregate of $200,000 for rebranding, renovations and other improvements in 2013 and 2014 to these hotels.  We funded $47,715 of this amount during the six months ended June 30, 2013.  The annual

 

14



 

HOSPITALITY PROPERTIES TRUST

(dollars in thousands, except per share data)

 

minimum returns due to us under the Sonesta agreement will increase by 8% to the extent amounts funded for these improvements exceed threshold amounts, as defined.

 

We do not have any security deposits or guarantees for our hotels managed by Sonesta.  Sonesta’s incentive management fees, but not its other fees, are only earned after we receive our minimum returns, and we may cancel these management agreements if approximately 75% of our minimum returns are not paid for certain periods.  Accordingly, the returns we receive from hotels managed by Sonesta is limited to available hotel cash flow after payment of operating expenses.

 

See Note 10 for further information regarding our relationship with Sonesta.

 

Wyndham agreement.  On August 1, 2013, we acquired a full service hotel in Florham Park, NJ for $52,750, excluding the closing costs, and added it to our Wyndham Worldwide Corporation, or Wyndham, agreement. Our annual minimum returns under the Wyndham agreement increased by $4,220 and the limited guaranty provided by Wyndham increased to $35,656 upon closing of this hotel acquisition (and the annual maximum guarantee payment increased to $17,828).

 

We currently expect to fund $75,590 of capital improvements in 2013 to complete renovations at certain of the hotels included in our Wyndham agreement, including $10,000 related to the Florham Park, NJ hotel described above. We funded $19,142 of this amount during the six months ended June 30, 2013. As we fund these improvements, the annual minimum returns payable to us increase by 8% of the amounts funded.

 

Other management agreement and lease matters.  As of August 6, 2013, all payments due to us from our managers and tenants under our other operating agreements were current.  Minimum return and minimum rent payments due to us under some of our hotel management agreements and leases are supported by guarantees. The guarantee provided by Marriott, with respect to the 68 hotels (Marriott No. 234 agreement) managed by Marriott is limited to $40,000 ($30,707 remaining at June 30, 2013) and expires on December 31, 2019. The guarantee provided by Hyatt Hotels Corporation, or Hyatt, with respect to the 22 hotels managed by Hyatt is limited to $50,000 ($16,222 remaining at June 30, 2013). The guarantee provided by Carlson Hotels Worldwide, or Carlson, with respect to the 11 hotels managed by Carlson is limited to $40,000 ($21,484 remaining at June 30, 2013). The guarantee provided by Wyndham with respect to the 21 hotels managed by Wyndham is limited to $29,000 ($15,220 remaining at June 30, 2013). Certain of these guarantees may be replenished by future cash flows from the hotels in excess of our minimum returns. The guarantee provided by Wyndham for the lease with Wyndham Vacation Resorts, Inc., or Wyndham Vacation, is unlimited. The guarantee provided by Marriott with respect to the one hotel leased by Marriott (Marriott No. 5 agreement) is unlimited.

 

Certain of our managed hotel portfolios had net operating results that were, in the aggregate, $8,018 and $3,081 less than the minimum returns due to us for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $30,369 and $26,396 less than the minimum returns due to us for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. When managers of these hotels are required to fund the shortfalls under the terms of our operating agreements or their guarantees, we reflect such fundings (including security deposit applications) in our condensed consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income as a reduction of hotel operating expenses. The reduction to hotel operating expenses was $1,267 and $535 in the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $8,772 and $20,027 in the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. We had $6,751 and $2,546 of shortfalls at certain of our managed hotel portfolios not funded by the managers of these hotels under the terms of our operating agreements during the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $21,597 and $6,369 during the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, which represents the unguaranteed portion of our minimum returns from Marriott and Sonesta.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and with our 2012 Annual Report.

 

Overview (dollar amounts in thousands, except per share amounts)

 

For the quarter ended June 30, 2013 compared to the same period in 2012 for our 287 comparable hotels: average daily rate, or ADR, increased 1.8% to $104.93; occupancy increased 3.8 percentage points to 76.9%; and revenue per available room, or RevPAR, increased 7.1% to $80.69.

 

During the quarter ended June 30, 2013, we had 42 comparable hotels under renovation for all or part of the quarter.  For the quarter ended June 30, 2013 compared to the same period in 2012 for our 245 comparable hotels not under renovation: ADR increased 1.5% to $107.48; occupancy increased 5.2 percentage points to 78.4%; and RevPAR increased 8.7% to $84.26.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to the same period in 2012 for our 285 comparable hotels: ADR increased 2.9% to $102.79; occupancy increased 3.0 percentage points to 71.6%; and RevPAR increased 7.4% to $73.60.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2013, we had 53 comparable hotels under renovation for all or part of the period.  For the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to the same period in 2012 for our 232 comparable hotels not under renovation: ADR increased 2.4% to $104.08; occupancy increased 4.7 percentage points to 73.5%; and RevPAR increased 9.4% to $76.50.

 

Hotel operations. The U.S. hotel industry generally continues to show improvement in ADR, occupancy and RevPAR over 2012, but these measures are still below levels prior to the recent recession.  We believe the increases in ADR, occupancy and RevPAR at certain of our hotels in 2013 have been below hotel industry averages primarily due to the disruption and displacement caused by renovation and rebranding activities.  We expect our high level of hotel renovation activity to continue through the end of 2013.

 

Our hotel tenants and managers.  Many of our hotel operating agreements contain security features, such as guarantees and security deposits, which are intended to protect minimum returns and rents due to us in accordance with our operating agreements regardless of hotel performance.  However, the effectiveness of various security features to provide uninterrupted receipt by us of minimum returns and rents is not assured, particularly if the lodging industry takes an extended period to recover from the severe declines experienced during the recent recession, if economic conditions decline, or if our hotel renovation activities described above do not result in improved operating results at these hotels.  Also, certain of the guarantees that we hold are limited in amount and duration and do not provide for payment of the entire amount of the applicable minimum return shortfalls.  If our tenants, managers or guarantors do not earn or pay the minimum returns and rents due to us, our cash flows will decline and we may be unable to pay distributions to our shareholders, repay our debt or fund our debt service obligations.

 

Marriott No. 1 agreement.  Our lease with Host for 53 hotels, which we have historically referred to as our Marriott No. 1 agreement, expired on December 31, 2012. As required upon the expiration of the lease, we paid the $50,540 security deposit we held to Host. Effective January 1, 2013, we leased these hotels to one of our TRSs and continued the previously existing hotel brand and management agreements with Marriott International Inc., or Marriott. This management agreement expires in 2024. Because we no longer hold a security deposit for this agreement, the minimum returns we receive under this agreement will be limited to available hotel cash flow after payment of operating expenses.

 

Marriott No. 234 agreement.  Additional details of this agreement are set forth in Note 11 to our condensed consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which disclosure is incorporated herein by reference.

 

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, the payments we received under our Marriott No. 234 agreement, which requires annual minimum returns to us of $104,438, were $2,584 and $4,288 less than the minimum amounts

 

17



 

HOSPITALITY PROPERTIES TRUST

 

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

contractually required, respectively.  Pursuant to our Marriott No. 234 agreement, Marriott provided us with a limited guarantee for shortfalls up to 90% of our minimum returns through 2019.  During the three months ended June 30, 2013, the amount available under Marriott’s guaranty was replenished by $5,388 of cash flows from these hotels in excess of the guaranteed portion of our minimum returns.  Marriott was not required to make any guarantee payments during the six months ended June 30, 2013 because the hotels generated cash flows in excess of the guaranty threshold amount (90% of the minimum returns due to us).  The available balance of this guaranty was $30,707 as of June 30, 2013. Also, during the period from June 30, 2013 to August 6, 2013, the payments we received for these hotels were $1,729 less than the contractual minimum returns due to us.

 

InterContinental agreement.  Additional details of this agreement are set forth in Note 11 to our condensed consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which disclosure is incorporated herein by reference.

 

During the three months ended June 30, 2013, the payments we received under our agreement with InterContinental covering 91 hotels and requiring minimum returns to us of $135,159, were $5,917 more than the annual minimum amounts contractually required.  We replenished the available security deposit with the $5,917 of excess payments to recover payment shortfalls applied to the security deposit during the first quarter of 2013.  During the six months ended June 30, 2013, we have been paid all of our minimum returns due for the period.  The available balance of this security deposit was $26,466 as of June 30, 2013.  Also, during the period from June 30, 2013 to August 6, 2013, the payments we received under our InterContinental agreement were $37 less than the minimum amounts contractually required.  We applied the available security deposit to cover these shortfalls.  The remaining balance of the security deposit was $26,429 as of August 6, 2013.

 

Other management agreement and lease matters. As of August 6, 2013, all payments due to us from our managers and tenants under our other operating agreements were current.  Additional details of our guarantees from Hyatt, Carlson and Wyndham and our agreements with TA and Sonesta are set forth in Notes 10 and 11 to our condensed consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which disclosure is incorporated herein by reference.  Other information about TA is set forth in Note 10 to our condensed consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which disclosure is incorporated herein by reference.

 

When we reduce the amounts of the security deposits we hold under our operating agreements for payment deficiencies, we record income equal to the amounts by which these deposits are reduced up to the minimum return or minimum rent due to us.  Reducing the security deposits does not result in additional cash flow to us of the deficiency amounts, but reducing amounts of security deposits may reduce the refunds due to the respective tenants or managers who have provided us with these deposits upon expiration of the respective lease or management agreement.  The security deposits we hold are non-interest bearing and are not held in escrow.  Under all of our hotel contracts that include a security deposit, any amounts of the security deposits which are applied to payment deficits may be replenished from future cash flows from the applicable hotel operations pursuant to the terms of the respective contracts.  When we receive payments under guarantees under our leases or operating agreements, we receive cash.  When we receive guaranty payments under our hotel operating agreements, generally the hotel operator is allowed to recapture payments it makes to us out of some or all of the hotels’ future cash flows after our minimum returns are paid.

 

Management Agreements and Leases

 

At June 30, 2013, we owned 290 hotels operated under nine operating agreements; 287 of these hotels are leased by us to our wholly owned TRSs and managed by hotel operating companies. Three are leased to hotel operating companies.  At June 30, 2013, we also owned 185 travel centers that are leased to TA under two agreements. Our condensed consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income include operating revenues and expenses of our managed hotels and rental income from leased hotels and travel centers.  Additional information regarding the terms of our management agreements and leases is included in the table on pages 30 through 32 below.

References to changes in the income and expense categories below relate to the comparison of consolidated results for the three month period ended June 30, 2013, compared to the three month period ended June 30, 2012.

 

The increase in hotel operating revenues is a result of the conversion of 53 hotels from leased to managed in January 2013 ($65,036), increased revenues at certain of our managed hotels due to increases in ADR and higher occupancies ($25,813) and the effects of our hotel acquisitions since April 1, 2012 ($5,660).  These increases were partially offset by decreased revenues at certain of our managed hotels recently rebranded or undergoing renovations during the 2013 period due to decreases in ADR and lower occupancies ($5,917) and the effects of our hotel dispositions since April 1, 2012 ($5,783).  Additional operating statistics of our hotels are included in the table on page 33.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

The decrease in rental income - hotels is a result of the conversion of 53 hotels from leased to managed in January 2013 ($16,893), partially offset by the effects of our hotel acquisitions since April 1, 2012 ($2,526) and increases in the minimum rents due to us as we funded improvements at certain of our leased hotels since April 1, 2012 ($179).

 

The increase in rental income - travel centers is primarily a result of increases in the minimum rents due to us from TA for improvements we purchased at certain of our travel centers since April 1, 2012. Rental income for the 2013 and 2012 periods includes ($83) and ($69) of adjustments to record rent on a straight line basis, respectively.

 

FF&E reserve income represents amounts paid by certain of our hotel tenants into restricted accounts owned by us, the purpose of which is to accumulate funds for future capital expenditures. The terms of our hotel leases require these amounts to be calculated as a percentage of total sales at our hotels. The decrease in FF&E reserve income is primarily the result of the conversion of 53 hotels from leased to managed in January 2013 ($3,662) and decreased levels of sales at certain of our leased hotels ($176). We do not report the amounts, if any, which are escrowed as FF&E reserves for our managed hotels as FF&E reserve income.

 

The increase in hotel operating expenses was primarily caused by the conversion of 53 hotels from leased to managed in January 2013 ($40,891), increased expenses associated primarily with higher occupancies at certain of our managed hotels ($24,192) and the effect of our acquisitions since April 1, 2012 ($5,785), partially offset by operating expense decreases at certain properties recently rebranded or undergoing renovations during the 2013 period due to lower occupancies ($11,150) and the effect of our hotel dispositions since April 1, 2012 ($5,877).  Certain of our managed hotel portfolios had net operating results that were, in the aggregate, $8,018 and $3,081, less than the minimum returns due to us in the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.  When the managers of these hotels are required to fund the shortfalls under the terms of our operating agreements or their guarantees, we reflect such fundings (including security deposit applications) in our condensed consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income as a reduction of hotel operating expenses. The reduction to operating expenses was $1,267 and $535 in the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.  We had $6,751 and $2,546 of shortfalls at certain of our managed hotel portfolios not funded by the managers of these hotels under the terms of our operating agreements during the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, which represents the unguaranteed portion of our minimum returns from Marriott and Sonesta.

 

The increase in depreciation and amortization - hotels is primarily due to the depreciation and amortization of assets acquired with funds from our FF&E reserves or directly funded by us since April 1, 2012 ($6,833) and the effect of our hotel acquisitions since April 1, 2012 ($2,168), partially offset by certain of our depreciable assets becoming fully depreciated since April 1, 2012 ($2,054).

 

The increase in depreciation and amortization - travel centers is due to the depreciation and amortization of improvements made to our travel centers since April 1, 2012.

 

The increase in general and administrative costs is primarily due to an increase in business management fees resulting from the increased size of our business and higher professional services expenses.

 

Acquisition related costs represent legal and other costs incurred in connection with our hotel acquisition activities.

 

We recorded a $2,171 loss on asset impairment in the 2013 period in connection with our plan to sell one hotel.

 

The increase in operating income is primarily due to the revenue and expense changes discussed above during the 2013 period compared to the 2012 period.

 

The increase in interest income is due to higher average cash balances during the 2013 period.

 

The increase in interest expense is primarily due to higher average borrowings, partially offset by a lower weighted average interest rate in 2013.

Equity in earnings of an investee represents our proportionate share of earnings of AIC.

 

We recorded a $6,868 tax benefit in the 2013 period in connection with the restructuring of certain of our TRSs and recognized lower state income taxes during the 2013 period.

 

The decrease in preferred distributions is the result of our redemption of 6,000,000 shares of our 7.0% Series C cumulative redeemable preferred shares in September 2012.

 

The increases in net income, net income available for common shareholders and net income available for common shareholders per common share in the three months ended June 30, 2013, compared to the prior year period, are primarily a result of the changes discussed above.  On a per share basis, the percentage increase in net income available for common shareholders is lower as a result of our issuance of common shares pursuant to a public offering in March 2013.

The decrease in rental income - hotels is a result of the conversion of 53 hotels from leased to managed in January 2013 ($33,107), partially offset by the effects of our hotel acquisitions since January 1, 2012 ($5,019) and increases in the minimum rents due to us as we funded improvements at certain of our leased hotels since January 1, 2012 ($679).

 

The increase in rental income - travel centers is primarily a result of increases in the minimum rents due to us from TA for improvements we purchased at certain of our travel centers since January 1, 2012. Rental income for the 2013 and 2012 periods includes ($156) and $287 of adjustments to record rent on a straight line basis, respectively.

 

The decrease in FF&E reserve income is primarily the result of the conversion of 53 hotels from leased to managed in January 2013 ($6,837), partially offset by increased levels of sales at certain of our leased hotels ($427).

 

The increase in hotel operating expenses was primarily caused by the conversion of 53 hotels from leased to managed in January 2013 ($78,385), increased expenses associated primarily with higher occupancies at certain of our managed hotels ($31,974) and the effect of our hotel acquisitions since January 1, 2012 ($17,721), partially offset by operating expense decreases at certain properties recently rebranded or undergoing renovations during the 2013 period due to lower occupancies ($16,162) and the effect of our hotel dispositions since January 1, 2012 ($11,127).  Certain of our managed hotel portfolios had net operating results that were, in the aggregate, $30,369 and $26,396, less than the minimum returns due to us in the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.  When the managers of these hotels are required to fund the shortfalls under the terms of our operating agreements or their guarantees, we reflect such fundings (including security deposit applications) in our condensed consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income as a reduction of hotel operating expenses. The reduction to operating expenses was $8,772 and $20,027 in the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.  We had $21,597 and $6,369 of shortfalls at certain of our managed hotel portfolios not funded by the managers of these hotels under the terms of our operating agreements during the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, which represents the unguaranteed portion of our minimum returns from Marriott and from Sonesta.

 

The increase in depreciation and amortization - hotels is primarily due to the depreciation and amortization of assets acquired with funds from our FF&E reserves or directly funded by us since January 1, 2012 ($15,474) and the effect of our hotel acquisitions since January 1, 2012 ($4,538), partially offset by certain of our depreciable assets becoming fully depreciated since January 1, 2012 ($4,347).

We recorded a $6,868 tax benefit in the 2013 period in connection with the restructuring of certain of our TRSs and recognized lower income tax expense primarily as a result of lower state income taxes during the 2013 period.

 

Our net income available for common shareholders in the 2012 period was reduced by $2,944, which represented the amount by which the liquidation for our Series B cumulative redeemable preferred shares that we redeemed in February 2012 exceeded our carrying amount for those preferred shares as of the date of redemption.

 

The decrease in preferred distributions is the result of our redemption of 3,450,000 shares of our 8.875% Series B cumulative redeemable preferred shares in February 2012 and our redemption of 6,000,000 shares of our 7.0% Series C cumulative redeemable preferred shares in September 2012 partially offset by the issuance of 11,600,000 shares of our 7.125% Series D cumulative redeemable preferred shares in January 2012.

 

The decrease in net income, increase in net income available for common shareholders and the decrease in net income available for common shareholders per common share in the six months ended June 30, 2013, compared to the prior year period, are primarily a result of the changes discussed above.  On a per share basis, net income available for common shareholders decreased as a result of the changes noted above and our issuance of common shares pursuant to a public offering in March 2013.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources (dollar amounts in thousands, except per share amounts)

 

Our Managers and Tenants

 

As of June 30, 2013, all 475 of our properties were operated under 11 management agreements or leases.  All costs of operating and maintaining our properties are paid by the hotel managers as agents for us or by our tenants for their own account. Our hotel managers and tenants derive their funding for property operating expenses and for returns and rents due to us generally from property operating revenues and, to the extent that these parties themselves fund our minimum returns and minimum rents, from their separate resources.  Our hotel managers include Marriott, InterContinental, Hyatt, Carlson, Sonesta, Wyndham and Morgans Hotel Group Co., or Morgans.  Our travel centers are leased to TA.

 

We define coverage for each of our hotel management agreements or leases as total property level revenues minus all property level expenses which are not subordinated to the minimum returns and minimum rents due to us divided by the minimum returns or minimum rent payments due to us. More detail regarding coverage, guarantees and other features of our hotel operating agreements is presented in the tables on pages 30 through 32.  During the twelve months ended June 30, 2013, eight of our nine hotel operating agreements generated coverage of less than 1.0x (with a range among those eight hotel operating agreements of 0.08x to 0.92x); our Marriott No. 1 agreement generated coverage of 1.04x during the twelve months ended June 30, 2013.

 

We define coverage for our travel center leases as property level revenues minus all property level expenses divided by the minimum rent payments due to us.  During the twelve months ended June 30, 2013, the operating results from our 185 properties in our two travel center leases generated coverage of 1.60x.  Because a large percentage of TA’s business is conducted at properties leased from us, property level rent coverage may not be an appropriate way to evaluate TA’s ability to pay rents due to us.  We believe property level rent coverage is nonetheless one useful indicator of the performance and value of our properties as we believe it is what an operator interested to acquire these properties or the leaseholds might use to evaluate the contribution of these properties to their earnings before corporate level expenses.

 

Three hundred eight (308) of our properties, representing 61% of our total historical investments at cost as of June 30, 2013, are operated under seven management arrangements or leases which are subject to full or limited guarantees.  These guarantees may provide us with continued payments if the property level cash flows fail to equal or exceed guaranteed or secured amounts due to us.  Our minimum returns and minimum rents for 91 hotels, representing 18% of our total historical investments at cost as of June 30, 2013, are secured by a security deposit which we control.  Some of our managers and tenants, or their affiliates, may also supplement cash flow from our properties in order to make payments to us and preserve their rights to continue operating our properties even if they are not required to do so by guarantees. Guarantee payments, security deposit applications or supplemental payments to us, if any, made under any

 

24



 

HOSPITALITY PROPERTIES TRUST

 

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

of our management agreements or leases do not subject us to repayment obligations, but, under some of our agreements, the manager or tenant may recover these guarantee or supplemental payments and the security deposits may be replenished from the future cash flows from our properties after our future minimum returns and minimum rents are paid.

 

As described above, certain of our agreements are generating cash flows that are less than the minimum amounts contractually required and we have been utilizing the security features in our agreements to cover these shortfalls.  However, several of the guarantees and all the security deposits we hold are for limited amounts and are for limited durations and may be exhausted or expire, especially if the lodging industry does not fully recover from the recent recession in a reasonable time period or if our hotel renovation and rebranding activities described above do not result in improved operating results at these hotels.  Accordingly, the effectiveness of our various security features to provide uninterrupted payments to us is not assured.  If any of our hotel managers, tenants or guarantors default in their payment obligations to us, our cash flows will decline and we may become unable to continue to pay distributions to our shareholders.

 

Our Operating Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Our principal source of funds for current expenses and distributions to shareholders are minimum returns from our managed hotels and minimum rents from our leased hotels and travel centers. We receive minimum returns and minimum rents from our managers and tenants monthly. We receive additional returns, percentage returns and rents and our share of the operating profits of our managed hotels after payment of management fees and other deductions, if any, either monthly or quarterly. This flow of funds has historically been sufficient for us to pay our operating expenses, interest expense on our debt and distributions to shareholders declared by our Board of Trustees. We believe that our operating cash flow will be sufficient to meet our operating expenses, interest expense and distribution payments declared by our Board of Trustees for the next twelve months and the foreseeable future thereafter.  However, because of the impact of the weak U.S. economy on the hotel and travel center industries, our managers and tenants may be unable to pay minimum returns and minimum rents to us when due, in which case our cash flow and net income will decline and we may need to reduce the amount of, or even eliminate, our distributions to common shareholders.

 

Changes in our cash flows in the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to the same period in 2012 were as follows: (1) cash flow provided by operating activities decreased from $180,433 in 2012 to $171,904 in 2013; (2) cash used in investing activities increased from $301,784 in 2012 to $311,842 in 2013; and (3) cash provided by financing activities increased from $137,819 in 2012 to $320,625 in 2013.

 

The decrease in cash provided by operating activities for the six month period ended June 30, 2013 as compared to the corresponding prior year period is due primarily to changes in working capital during the 2013 period.  The increase in cash used in investing activities for the six month period ended June 30, 2013 as compared to the corresponding prior year period is primarily due to increased acquisition activities in the 2013 period.  The increase in cash provided by financing activities for the six month period ended June 30, 2013 as compared to the corresponding prior year period is primarily due to a decrease in the amount of debt repayments in the 2013 period and the redemption of our Series B preferred shares in the 2012 period.

 

We maintain our status as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code by meeting certain requirements. As a REIT, we do not expect to pay federal income taxes on the majority of our income; however, the income realized by our TRSs in excess of the rent they pay to us is subject to U.S. federal income tax at corporate tax rates.  In addition, the income we receive from our hotels in Canada and Puerto Rico is subject to taxes in those jurisdictions and we are subject to taxes in certain states where we have properties.

 

Our Investment and Financing Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Various percentages of total sales at some of our hotels are escrowed as FF&E reserves to fund future capital improvements. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, our hotel managers and hotel tenants deposited $13,718 to these accounts and $49,382 was spent from the FF&E reserve escrow accounts and from separate payments by us to

renovate and refurbish our hotels.  As of June 30, 2013, there was $34,800 on deposit in these escrow accounts, which was held directly by us and is reflected on our condensed consolidated balance sheets as restricted cash.

 

Our hotel operating agreements generally provide that, if necessary, we may provide our managers and tenants with funding for capital improvements to our hotels in excess of amounts otherwise available in escrowed FF&E reserves or when no FF&E reserves are available. To the extent we make such additional fundings, our annual minimum returns or minimum rents generally increase by a percentage of the amount we fund. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, we funded $96,577 for capital improvements in excess of FF&E reserve fundings available from hotel operations to our hotels as follows:

 

·                  During the six months ended June 30, 2013, we funded $820 for improvements to hotels included in our Marriott No. 1 agreement using cash on hand and borrowings under our revolving credit facility. We currently do not expect to make additional fundings for capital improvements under this agreement during the remainder of 2013.

 

·                  Pursuant to the June 2011 and May 2012 agreements we entered with Marriott for management of 68 hotels (our Marriott No. 234 agreement), we expect to provide an aggregate of $126,100 of funding for renovations of certain of these hotels and for other improvements. As of June 30, 2013, $106,900 has been funded. We funded $28,900 of this amount during the six months ended June 30, 2013 using existing cash balances and borrowings under our revolving credit facility. We currently expect to fund the remaining $19,200 during the remainder of 2013 using existing cash balances or borrowings under our revolving credit facility. As we fund these improvements, the minimum return payable to us increases.

 

·                  Pursuant to the July 2011 agreement we entered with InterContinental for management of 91 hotels, we expect to provide an aggregate of $290,000 of funding for renovations of certain of these hotels and other improvements. As of June 30, 2013, $212,768 has been funded. We made no fundings during the six months ended June 30, 2013.  We currently expect to fund $63,000 during the remainder of 2013 and the remaining $14,232 in 2014 using existing cash balances or borrowings under our revolving credit facility. As we fund these improvements, the minimum return payable to us increases.

 

·                  Our Sonesta management agreements do not require FF&E escrow deposits. Under our Sonesta agreement, we are required to fund capital expenditures made at our hotels. In addition to recurring capital expenditures, we currently expect to provide an aggregate of $200,000 of funding for rebranding, renovations and other improvements to the 22 hotels included in our Sonesta agreement.  As of June 30, 2013, $62,615 has been funded. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, we funded $47,715 for capital expenditures under this agreement using existing cash balances and borrowings under our revolving credit facility. We currently expect to fund approximately $79,000 during the remainder of 2013 and the remaining $62,512 in 2014, using existing cash balances or borrowings under our revolving credit facility. As we fund improvements pursuant to our Sonesta agreement, the minimum returns payable to us increase to the extent amounts funded exceed threshold amounts, as defined.

 

·                  Pursuant to the May 2012 and November 2012 agreements we entered with Wyndham for the management of 21 hotels, we expect to provide an aggregate of $93,000 for refurbishment and rebranding of these 21 hotels. We have also agreed to provide up to $10,000 for the rebranding and renovation of the full service hotel we acquired on August 1, 2013 that was added to our Wyndham agreement.  As of June 30, 2013, $27,410 has been funded. We funded $19,142 of this amount during the six months ended June 30, 2013 using existing cash balances and borrowings under our revolving credit facility. We currently expect to fund the remaining $75,590 during the remainder of 2013 using existing cash balances and borrowings under our revolving credit facility. As we fund these improvements, the minimum return payable to us increases.

 

Our travel center leases with TA do not require FF&E escrow deposits.  However, TA is required to maintain the leased travel centers, including structural and non-structural components.  Under both of our leases with TA, TA may request that we purchase qualifying capital improvements to the leased facilities in return for minimum rent increases.  We

funded $45,229 for purchases of capital improvements under these lease provisions during the six months ended June 30, 2013 and currently expect to fund approximately $35,000 for purchases of capital improvements to our travel center properties during the remainder of 2013, using existing cash balances or borrowings under our revolving credit facility.  However, TA is not obligated to request and we are not obligated to purchase any such improvements.

 

On each of January 15, 2013, April 15, 2013 and July 15, 2013, we paid a $0.4453125 per share distribution to our Series D preferred shareholders with respect to the periods ended January 14, 2013, April 14, 2013 and July 14, 2013, respectively. We funded these distributions using cash on hand and borrowings under our revolving credit facility.

 

On each of February 15, 2013 and May 15, 2013, we paid a $0.4375 per share distribution to our Series C preferred shareholders with respect to the periods ended February 14, 2013 and May 14, 2013, respectively.  We funded these distributions using existing cash balances and borrowings under our revolving credit facility.

 

On each of February 22, 2013 and May 24, 2013, we paid a $0.47 per share distribution to our common shareholders.  We funded these distributions using existing cash balances and borrowings under our revolving credit facility.  On July 10, 2013, we declared a $0.47 per share distribution to our common shareholders of record on July 26, 2013. We expect to pay this amount on or about August 23, 2013 using cash on hand and borrowings under our revolving credit facility.

 

On March 22, 2013, we sold 16,100,000 of our common shares at a price of $25.55 per share in a public offering. We used the net proceeds from this sale (approximately $393,474 after underwriting and other offering expenses) to repay amounts outstanding under our revolving credit facility and for general business purposes.

 

On June 6, 2013, we issued $300,000 of 4.5% unsecured senior notes due in 2023 in a public offering. Net proceeds from this offering ($297,132 after underwriting and other offering expenses) were used for the acquisition of the New Orleans Hotel, to fund the redemption of our 7% Series C Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares and for general business purposes.

 

On July 1, 2013, we redeemed all of our 6,700,000 outstanding shares of 7% Series C Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares for $25.00 per share (an aggregate of $167,500) plus accrued and unpaid distributions.  We expect to recognize a loss in the third quarter of 2013 of $5,627 on the excess of the liquidation preference of the redeemed shares over their carrying amount.  We funded this redemption with proceeds from our senior notes offering described above.

 

On February 27, 2013, we announced that we had entered a letter of intent with NH Hoteles, S.A., or NH Hoteles, for investments with NH Hotels in Latin America, Europe and the United States totaling approximately $375,000.  On April 24, 2013, NH Hoteles notified us that it was unable to obtain the necessary bank approvals to allow it to complete the transaction as outlined in the letter of intent.  We subsequently held discussions with NH Hoteles about possible modifications or alternatives to the proposed transaction as originally announced but were unable to reach agreement and are no longer pursuing this transaction.

 

On May 17, 2013, we acquired a 426 room full service hotel in Duluth, GA for $29,700, excluding closing costs, using cash on hand.

 

On June 28, 2013, we acquired the fee interest in the New Orleans Hotel for $120,500, excluding closing costs, with proceeds from our 4.5% Senior Notes offering described above.

 

On July 1, 2013, we acquired the fee interest in a travel center we previously leased from a third party and subleased to TA.  We also acquired land parcels adjacent to three of our other travel centers and leased these to TA.  We funded these transactions (aggregate consideration of $6,323) with cash on hand.

 

On August 1, 2013, we acquired a 219 room full service hotel in Florham Park, NJ for $52,750, excluding closing costs using cash on hand and borrowings under our revolving credit facilities.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

In order to fund capital improvements to our properties and acquisitions and to meet cash needs that may result from timing differences between our receipt of returns and rents and our desire or need to pay operating expenses, debt service and distributions, we maintain a $750,000 revolving credit facility. The maturity date of our revolving credit facility is September 7, 2015 and, subject to the payment of an extension fee and meeting certain other conditions, we have the option to extend the facility for one year to September 7, 2016. In addition, our revolving credit facility includes a feature under which maximum borrowings may be increased to up to $1,500,000 in certain circumstances. Borrowings under our revolving credit facility bear interest at LIBOR plus a premium of 130 basis points as of June 30, 2013. We also pay a facility fee of 30 basis points per annum on the total amount of lending commitments under our revolving credit facility. Both the interest rate premium and the facility fee are subject to adjustment based upon changes to our credit ratings. We can borrow, repay and reborrow funds available under our revolving credit facility until maturity, and no principal repayment is due until maturity. As of June 30, 2013, the interest rate payable on borrowings under our revolving credit facility was 1.50%, and the weighted average interest rate for borrowings under our revolving credit facility was 1.51% for the six months ended June 30, 2013. As of June 30, 2013 and August 6, 2013, we had $90,000 and $120,000, respectively, outstanding under our revolving credit facility and $660,000 and $630,000, respectively, available to borrow under our revolving credit facility.

 

Our revolving credit facility agreement and our term loan agreement provide for acceleration of payment of all amounts due thereunder upon the occurrence and continuation of certain events of default, including a change of control of us and the termination of our business management agreement with RMR. Our revolving credit facility agreement and our term loan agreement also contain a number of covenants, including covenants that restrict our ability to incur debts or to make distributions under certain circumstances and require us to maintain financial ratios and a minimum net worth. We believe we were in compliance with the terms and conditions of our revolving credit facility agreement and our term loan agreement at June 30, 2013.

 

Our term debt maturities (other than our revolving credit facility) as of June 30, 2013 were as follows: $300,000 in 2014, $280,000 in 2015, $275,000 in 2016, $700,000 in 2017, $350,000 in 2018, $500,000 in 2022, $300,000 in 2023 and $8,478 in 2027. Our $8,478 of 3.8% convertible senior notes due 2027 are convertible into our common shares, if certain conditions are met (including certain changes in control), into cash equal to the principal amount of the notes and, to the extent the market price of our common shares exceeds the exchange price of $50.50 per share, subject to adjustment, either cash or our common shares at our option with a value based on such excess amount. Holders of our convertible senior notes may require us to repurchase all or a portion of the notes on March 15, 2017 and March 15, 2022, or upon the occurrence of certain change in control events.  None of our other debt obligations require principal or sinking fund payments prior to their maturity dates.

 

We expect to use existing cash balances, the cash flow from our operations, borrowings under our revolving credit facility and net proceeds of offerings of equity or debt securities to fund future debt maturities, property acquisitions and improvements and other general business purposes.

 

When significant amounts are outstanding for an extended period of time under our revolving credit facility and as the maturity dates of our revolving credit facility and term debts approach, we currently expect to explore alternatives for the repayment of amounts due or renewal or extension of the maturity dates.  Such alternatives in the short term and long term may include incurring additional debt and issuing new equity securities.  We have an effective shelf registration statement that allows us to issue public securities on an expedited basis, but it does not assure that there will be buyers for such securities.

 

While we believe we will have access to various types of financings, including debt or equity, to fund our future acquisitions and to pay our debts and other obligations, there can be no assurance that we will be able to complete any debt or equity offerings or that our cost of any future public or private financings will be reasonable.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

As of June 30, 2013, we had no off balance sheet arrangements that have had or that we expect would be reasonably likely to have a future material effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

 

Debt Covenants

 

Our debt obligations at June 30, 2013, consist of our outstanding borrowings under our revolving credit facility, our $400,000 unsecured term loan and $2,313,478 of publicly issued unsecured term debt and convertible notes. Our publicly issued unsecured term debt and convertible notes are governed by an indenture. This indenture and related supplements and our revolving credit facility and term loan agreements contain a number of financial ratio covenants which generally restrict our ability to incur debts, including debts secured by mortgages on our properties, in excess of calculated amounts, require us to maintain a minimum net worth, restrict our ability to make distributions under certain circumstances and require us to maintain various financial ratios. As of June 30, 2013, we believe we were in compliance with all of our covenants under our indenture and its supplements and our revolving credit facility and term loan agreements.

 

Neither our indenture and its supplements nor our revolving credit facility and term loan agreements contain provisions for acceleration which could be triggered by our debt ratings. However, under our revolving credit facility and term loan agreements, our highest senior unsecured debt rating is used to determine the fees and interest rates we pay.  Accordingly, if that debt rating is downgraded by certain credit rating agencies, our interest expense and related costs under our revolving credit facility and term loan would increase.

 

Our public debt indenture and its supplements contain cross default provisions to any other debts of $20,000 or more. Similarly, our revolving credit facility agreement and term loan agreement have cross default provisions to other indebtedness that is recourse of $25,000 or more and indebtedness that is non-recourse of $75,000 or more.

 

Management Agreements, Leases and Operating Statistics (dollar amounts in thousands)

 

As of June 30, 2013, we owned 290 hotels and 185 travel centers under 11 management agreements or leases. Our hotels are managed by or leased to separate affiliates of hotel operating companies including Marriott, InterContinental, Hyatt, Carlson, Sonesta, Wyndham and Morgans under nine agreements. Our 185 travel centers are leased to and operated by TA under two lease agreements.

 

The tables on the following pages summarize significant terms of our leases and management agreements as of June 30, 2013, and include statistics reported to us or derived from information reported to us by our managers and tenants. These statistics include coverage of our minimum returns or minimum rents and occupancy, ADR and RevPAR for our hotel properties. We consider these statistics, and the management agreement or lease security features also presented in the tables on the following pages, to be important measures of our managers’ and tenants’ success in operating our properties and their ability to continue to pay us. However, none of this third party reported information is a direct measure of our financial performance and we have not independently verified this data.

(1)         Represents the historical cost of our properties plus capital improvements funded by us less impairment writedowns, if any, and excludes capital improvements made from FF&E reserves funded from hotel operations.

 

(2)         Each of our management agreements or leases provides for payment to us of an annual minimum return or minimum rent, respectively. Certain of these minimum payment amounts are secured by full or limited guarantees or security deposits as more fully described below. In addition, certain of our hotel management agreements provide for payment to us of additional amounts to the extent of available cash flow as defined in the management agreement. Payment of these additional amounts are not guaranteed or secured by deposits.

 

(3)         We define coverage as combined total property level revenues minus the required FF&E reserve escrows, if any, and all property level expenses which are not subordinated to minimum returns and minimum rent payments to us (which data is provided to us by our managers or tenants), divided by the minimum return or minimum rent payments due to us. Coverage amounts for our Sonesta, Wyndham and Morgans agreements include data for periods prior to our ownership or leasing of certain hotels. Coverage amounts for our Sonesta and Wyndham agreements include data for periods certain rebranded hotels were not operated by the current manager. Coverage amounts for our Marriott No. 234 and InterContinental agreements exclude data for hotels removed from the agreements during 2012.

 

(4)         Our lease with a subsidiary of Host for 53 Courtyard by Marriott® branded hotels in 24 states expired on December 31, 2012 and we paid the $50,540 security deposit we held to Host. As of January 1, 2013, we leased these 53 hotels to one of our TRSs and continued the existing combination management agreement with a subsidiary of Marriott, which expires in 2024; Marriott has three renewal options for 12 years each for all, but not less than all, of the hotels.

 

Because we no longer hold a security deposit for this agreement, payment by Marriott of the minimum return due to us under the management agreement is limited to available hotel cash flow after payment of operating expenses. In addition to our minimum return, this agreement provides for payment to us of 50% of available cash flow after payment of hotel operating expenses, funding of the required FF&E reserve, payment of our minimum return and payment of certain management fees.

 

(5)         We lease 68 of our Marriott branded hotels (one full service Marriott®, 35 Residence Inn by Marriott®, 18 Courtyard by Marriott®, 12 TownePlace Suites by Marriott® and two SpringHill Suites by Marriott® hotels) in 24 states to one of our TRSs. The hotels are managed by subsidiaries of Marriott under a combination management agreement which expires in 2025; Marriott has two renewal options for 10 years each for all, but not less than all, of the hotels.

 

We originally held a security deposit of $64,700 under this agreement. As of June 30, 2013, we have fully exhausted this security deposit covering shortfalls in the payments of our minimum return. This security deposit may be replenished from future cash flows from these hotels in excess of our minimum return and certain management fees. Marriott has also provided us with a $40,000

limited guaranty for payment shortfalls up to 90% of our minimum return, which expires in 2019. As of June 30, 2013, the available Marriott guaranty was $30,707.

 

In addition to our minimum return, this agreement provides for payment to us of 62.5% of excess cash flow after payment of hotel operating expenses, funding of the required FF&E reserve, payment of our minimum return, payment of certain management fees and replenishment of the security deposit. This additional return amount is not guaranteed or secured by the security deposit.

 

(6)         We lease one Marriott® branded hotel in Kauai, HI to a subsidiary of Marriott under a lease that expires in 2019; Marriott has four renewal options for 15 years each. This lease is guaranteed by Marriott and provides for increases in the annual minimum rent payable to us based on changes in the consumer price index.

 

(7)         We lease 90 InterContinental branded hotels (19 Staybridge Suites®, 61 Candlewood Suites®, two InterContinental®, six Crowne Plaza® and two Holiday Inn® hotels) in 30 states in the U.S. and Ontario, Canada to one of our TRSs. These 90 hotels are managed by subsidiaries of InterContinental under a combination management agreement. One additional InterContinental® branded hotel in Puerto Rico is leased to a subsidiary of InterContinental. The management agreement and the lease expire in 2036; InterContinental has two renewal options for 15 years each for all, but not less than all, of the hotels.

 

We originally held a security deposit of $73,872 under this agreement. As of June 30, 2013, we have applied $47,406 of the security deposit to cover shortfalls in the payments of our minimum return and rent. As of June 30, 2013, the balance of this security deposit was $26,466. This security deposit may be replenished and increased up to $100,000 from future cash flows from these hotels in excess of our minimum return and rent and certain management fees.

 

In addition to our minimum return, this management agreement provides for an annual additional return payment to us of $14,423 to the extent of available cash flow after payment of hotel operating expenses, funding of the required FF&E reserve, if any, payment of our minimum return, payment of certain management fees and replenishment and expansion of the security deposit. In addition, the agreement provides for payment to us of 50% of the available cash flow after payment to us of the annual additional return amount. These additional return amounts are not guaranteed or secured by the security deposit.

 

(8)         On June 28, 2013, we acquired the fee interest in the New Orleans Hotel from the third party owner from which we previously leased this hotel.  Sonesta previously managed the hotel under an agreement we referred to as Sonesta No. 2.  In connection with the acquisition of the fee interest in the hotel, the lease with the third party terminated and we and Sonesta entered into an amended and restated management agreement and added the hotel to our existing portfolio of 21 hotels previously referred to as our Sonesta No. 1 agreement.  We now refer to our 22 Sonesta branded hotels as our Sonesta agreement.

 

We lease 22 of our Sonesta branded hotels (four Royal Sonesta®, three Sonesta® and 15 Sonesta ES Suites® hotels) in 13 states to one of our TRSs. The hotels are managed by Sonesta under a combination management agreement which expires in 2037; Sonesta has two renewal options for 15 years each for all, but not less than all, of the hotels.

 

We have no security deposit or guaranty from Sonesta. Accordingly, payment by Sonesta of the minimum return due to us under this management agreement is limited to available hotel cash flow after the payment of operating expenses, including certain management fees, and we are financially responsible for operating cash flow deficits, if any.

 

In addition to our minimum return, this management agreement provides for payment to us of 80% of available cash flow after payment of hotel operating expenses, management fees to Sonesta, our minimum return and reimbursement of operating loss or working capital advances, if any.

 

(9)         We lease our 22 Hyatt Place® branded hotels in 14 states to one of our TRSs. The hotels are managed by a subsidiary of Hyatt under a combination management agreement that expires in 2030; Hyatt has two renewal options for 15 years each for all, but not less than all, of the hotels.

 

We originally had a guaranty of $50,000 under this agreement for payment shortfalls of our minimum return. As of June 30, 2013, the available Hyatt guaranty was $16,222. The guaranty is limited in amount but does not expire in time and may be replenished from future cash flows from the hotels in excess of our minimum return.

 

In addition to our minimum return, this management agreement provides for payment to us of 50% of available cash flow after payment of operating expenses, funding the required FF&E reserve, payment of our minimum return and reimbursement to Hyatt of working capital and guaranty advances, if any. This additional return is not guaranteed.

(10)  We lease our 21 Wyndham branded hotels (five Wyndham Hotels and Resorts® and 16 Hawthorn Suites® hotels) in 13 states to one of our TRSs. The hotels are managed by a subsidiary of Wyndham under a combination management agreement which expires in 2037; Wyndham has two renewal options for 15 years each for all, but not less than all, of the hotels. We also lease 48 vacation units in one of the hotels to Wyndham Vacation under a lease that expires in 2037; Wyndham Vacation has two renewal options for 15 years each for all, but not less than all, of the vacation units. The lease is guaranteed by Wyndham and provides for rent increases of 3% per annum.

 

We originally had a guaranty of $29,000 under this agreement for payment shortfalls of minimum return, subject to an annual payment limit of $14,500. As of June 30, 2013, the available Wyndham guaranty was $15,220. This guaranty expires in 2019.

 

In addition to our minimum return, this management agreement provides for payment to us of 50% of available cash flow after payment of hotel operating expenses, payment of our minimum return, funding of the FF&E reserve, if any, payment of certain management fees and reimbursement of any Wyndham guaranty advances. This additional return amount is not guaranteed. Amounts reimbursed to Wyndham for guaranty advances replenish the amount of Wyndham’s guaranty available to us.

 

(11)  We lease our 11 Carlson branded hotels (five Radisson® Hotels & Resorts, one Park Plaza® Hotels & Resorts and five Country Inns & Suites® hotels) in seven states to one of our TRSs. The hotels are managed by a subsidiary of Carlson under a combination management agreement that expires in 2030; Carlson has two renewal options for 15 years each for all, but not less than all, of the hotels.

 

We originally had a limited guaranty of $40,000 under this agreement for payment shortfalls of our minimum return. As of June 30, 2013, the available Carlson guaranty was $21,484. The guaranty is limited in amount but does not expire in time and may be replenished from future cash flows from the hotels in excess of our minimum return.

 

In addition to our minimum return, this management agreement provides for payment to us of 50% of available cash flow after payment of operating expenses, funding the required FF&E reserve, payment of our minimum return and reimbursement to Carlson of working capital and guaranty advances, if any. This additional return is not guaranteed.

 

(12)  We lease the Clift Hotel, a full service hotel in San Francisco, CA to a subsidiary of Morgans under a lease agreement that expires in 2103. The lease provides for annual initial rent to us of $5,956. On October 14, 2014, the rent due to us will be increased based on changes in the consumer price index with a minimum increase of 20% of the current rent amount and a maximum increase of 40% as prescribed in the lease. On each fifth anniversary thereafter during the lease term, the rent due to us will be increased further based on changes in the consumer price index with minimum increases of 10% and maximum increases of 20%. Although these lease terms would qualify this lease as a direct financing lease under GAAP, we account for this lease as an operating lease due to uncertainty regarding the collection of future rent and we recognize rental income from this lease on a cash basis in accordance with GAAP.

 

(13)  We lease our 145 TA® branded travel centers in 39 states to a subsidiary of TA under a lease that expires in 2022.  In addition to the payment of our minimum rent, this lease agreement provides for payment to us of percentage rent based on increases in total sales over base year levels (3% of non-fuel revenues and 0.3% of fuel revenues above 2011 revenues subject to certain limits). The annual minimum rent amount presented for our TA No. 1 lease includes approximately $5,150 of ground rent paid by TA for properties we lease and sublease to TA. This lease is guaranteed by TA.

 

(14)  We lease our 40 Petro® branded travel centers in 25 states to a subsidiary of TA under a lease that expires in 2024; TA has two renewal options for 15 years each for all, but not less than all, of these travel centers. In addition to the payment of our minimum rent, this lease agreement provides for payment to us of percentage rent based on increases in total sales over base year levels (3% of non-fuel revenues and 0.3% of fuel revenues above 2012 revenues subject to certain limits). We have agreed to waive payment of the first $2,500 of percentage rent that may become due under the TA No. 2 lease. This lease is guaranteed by TA.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

Seasonality

 

Our hotels and travel centers have historically experienced seasonal differences typical of their industries with higher revenues in the second and third quarters of calendar years compared with the first and fourth quarters. This seasonality is not expected to cause material fluctuations in our income or cash flow because most of our management agreements and leases require our managers and tenants to make the substantial portion of our return payments and rents to us in equal amounts throughout a year. Seasonality may affect our hotel operating revenues and our net cash flows from our Sonesta managed hotels and our hotels included in our Marriott No. 1 agreement, but we do not expect seasonal variations to have a material impact upon our financial results of operations or upon our managers’ or tenants’ ability to meet their contractual obligations to us.

 

Related Person Transactions

 

We have relationships and historical and continuing transactions with our Trustees, our executive officers, RMR, TA, Sonesta, AIC and other companies to which RMR provides management services and others affiliated with them.  For example, we have no employees and personnel and various services we require to operate our business are provided to us by RMR pursuant to management agreements; and RMR is owned by our Managing Trustees.  Also, as a further example, we have relationships with other companies to which RMR provides management services and which have trustees, directors and officers who are also trustees, directors or officers of ours or RMR or with entities affiliated with RMR, including:  TA is our former subsidiary and our largest tenant and we are TA’s largest shareholder; Sonesta manages several of our hotels for our TRSs; we previously sold two hotels to affiliates of RMR; and we, RMR, TA and five other companies to which RMR provides management services each currently own 12.5% of AIC, an Indiana insurance company, and we and the other shareholders of AIC have property insurance in place providing $500,000 of coverage pursuant to an insurance program arranged by AIC and with respect to which AIC is a reinsurer of certain coverage amounts.  For further information about these and other such relationships and related person transactions, please see Note 10 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which is incorporated herein by reference.  In addition, for more information about these transactions and relationships, please see elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including “Warning Concerning Forward Looking Statements” in Part I, and our 2012 Annual Report, our Proxy Statement dated March 1, 2013 for the Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on May 15, 2013, or our Proxy Statement, our Current Report on Form 8-K dated March 6, 2013, and our other filings with the SEC, including Note 8 to our consolidated financial statements included in our 2012 Annual Report, the sections captioned “Business,” “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Related Person Transactions” and “Warning Concerning Forward Looking Statements” of our 2012 Annual Report and the section captioned “Related Person Transactions and Company Review of Such Transactions” and the information regarding our Trustees and executive officers in our Proxy Statement.  In addition, please see the section captioned “Risk Factors” of our 2012 Annual Report for a description of risks that may arise as a result of these and other related person transactions and relationships.  Our filings with the SEC, including our 2012 Annual Report and our Proxy Statement, are available at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.  Copies of certain of our agreements with these related parties, including our business management agreement and property management agreement with RMR, various agreements we have entered with TA and Sonesta, our purchase and sale agreements with affiliates of RMR and our shareholders agreement with AIC and its shareholders, are publicly available as exhibits to our public filings with the SEC and accessible at the SEC’s website.

 

We believe that our agreements with RMR, TA, Sonesta and AIC are on commercially reasonable terms.  We also believe that our relationships with RMR, TA, Sonesta and AIC and their affiliated and related persons and entities benefit us, and, in fact, provide us with competitive advantages in operating and growing our business.

 

Non-GAAP Measures

 

We provide below calculations of our funds from operations, or FFO, and normalized funds from operations, or Normalized FFO, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012. We believe that this data may facilitate an understanding of our condensed consolidated historical operating results. These measures should be considered in conjunction with net income, net income available for common shareholders, operating income and cash flow from

HOSPITALITY PROPERTIES TRUST

 

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

operating activities as presented in our condensed consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income and condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. These measures do not represent cash generated by operating activities in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to net income, net income available to common shareholders, operating income or cash flow from operating activities, determined in accordance with GAAP, or as indicators of our financial performance or liquidity, nor are these measures necessarily indicative of sufficient cash flow to fund all of our needs. Other REITs and real estate companies may calculate FFO and Normalized FFO differently than we do.

 

Funds From Operations and Normalized Funds From Operations

 

We calculate FFO and Normalized FFO as shown below. FFO is calculated on the basis defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT, which is net income, calculated in accordance with GAAP, excluding loss on impairment of real estate assets, plus real estate depreciation and amortization, as well as other adjustments currently not applicable to us. Our calculation of Normalized FFO differs from NAREIT’s definition of FFO because we include estimated percentage rent in the period to which we estimate that it relates rather than when it is recognized as income in accordance with GAAP and exclude excess of liquidation preference over carrying value of preferred shares redeemed, acquisition related costs and the deferred income tax benefit described below. We consider FFO and Normalized FFO to be appropriate measures of operating performance for a REIT, along with net income, net income available for common shareholders, operating income and cash flow from operating activities. We believe that FFO and Normalized FFO provide useful information to investors because by excluding the effects of certain historical amounts, such as depreciation expense, FFO and Normalized FFO may facilitate a comparison of our operating performance between periods and between us and other REITs. FFO and Normalized FFO are among the factors considered by our Board of Trustees when determining the amount of distributions to our shareholders. Other factors include, but are not limited to, requirements to maintain our status as a REIT, limitations in our revolving credit facility and term loan agreements and public debt covenants, the availability of debt and equity capital to us, our expectation of our future capital requirements and operating performance, and our expected needs and availability of cash to pay our obligations.

 

Our calculations of FFO and Normalized FFO for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 and reconciliations of net income available for common shareholders, the most directly comparable financial measure under GAAP reported in our condensed consolidated financial statements to FFO and Normalized FFO, appear in the following table.

(1)         We recorded a $2,171, or $0.02 per share, loss on asset impairment in the three months ended June 30, 2013 in connection with our plan to sell one hotel.  We recorded an $889, or $0.01 per share, loss on asset impairment in the six months ended June 30, 2012 in connection with our decision to remove 20 Marriott branded hotels from held for sale status.

(2)         In calculating net income in accordance with GAAP, we recognize percentage rental income received for the first, second and third quarters in the fourth quarter, which is when all contingencies have been met and the income is earned. Although we defer recognition of this revenue until the fourth quarter for purposes of calculating net income, we include these estimated amounts in the calculation of Normalized FFO for each quarter of the year. The fourth quarter Normalized FFO calculation excludes the amounts recognized during the first three quarters.

(4)         On February 13, 2012, we redeemed all of our outstanding Series B Preferred Shares at their liquidation preference of $25 per share, plus accumulated and unpaid distributions. The liquidation preference of the redeemed shares exceeded our carrying amount for the redeemed shares as of the date of redemption by $2,944, and we reduced net income available to common shareholders for the six months ended June 30, 2012, by that excess amount.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk (dollar amounts in thousands)

 

We are exposed to risks associated with market changes in interest rates. We manage our exposure to this market risk by monitoring available financing alternatives. Our strategy to manage exposure to changes in interest rates has not materially changed since December 31, 2012. Other than as described below, we do not currently foresee any significant changes in our exposure to fluctuations in interest rates or in how we manage this exposure in the near future.

 

As of June 30, 2013, our outstanding publicly tradable debt consisted of seven issues of fixed rate, senior unsecured notes and one issue of fixed rate, convertible senior notes:

(1)         The convertible senior notes are convertible, if certain conditions are met (including certain changes in control), into cash equal to the principal amount of the notes and, to the extent the market price of our common shares exceeds the initial exchange price of $50.50 per share, subject to adjustment, either cash or our common shares at our option with a value based on such excess amount. Holders of our convertible senior notes may require us to repurchase all or a portion of the notes on March 15, 2017 and March 15, 2022, or upon the occurrence of certain change in control events.

 

Except as described in note 1 to the table above, no principal repayments are due under these notes until maturity. Because these notes bear interest at fixed rates, changes in market interest rates during the term of these debts will not affect our interest obligations. If these notes were refinanced at interest rates which are 100 basis points higher than the rates shown above, our per annum interest cost would increase by approximately $23,135. Changes in market interest rates would affect the fair value of our fixed rate debt obligations; increases in market interest rates decrease the fair value of our fixed rate debt while decreases in market interest rates increase the fair value of our fixed rate debt. Based on the balances outstanding at June 30, 2013, and discounted cash flow analyses through the respective maturity dates, and assuming no other changes in factors that may affect the fair value of our fixed rate debt obligations, a hypothetical immediate 100 basis point increase in interest rates would change the fair value of those debt obligations by approximately $96,744. Changes in the trading price of our common shares may also affect the fair value of our convertible senior notes.

 

Each of these fixed rate unsecured debt arrangements allows us to make repayments earlier than the stated maturity date. We are generally allowed to make prepayments only at a premium equal to a make whole amount, as defined, which is generally designed to preserve a stated yield to the note holder. Also, we have in the past repurchased and retired some of our outstanding debts and we may do so again in the future. These prepayment rights and our ability to repurchase and retire outstanding debt may afford us opportunities to mitigate the risks of refinancing our debts at their maturities at higher rates by refinancing prior to maturity.

At June 30, 2013, our floating rate debt consisted of $90,000 outstanding under our $750,000 unsecured revolving credit facility and our $400,000 unsecured term loan. Our revolving credit facility matures in September 2015, and subject to our meeting certain conditions, including our payment of an extension fee, we have the option to extend the stated maturity by one year to September 2016. No principal repayments are required under our revolving credit facility or term loan prior to maturity, and prepayments may be made, and redrawn subject to conditions at any time without penalty. Borrowings under our revolving credit facility and term loan are in U.S. dollars and bear interest at LIBOR plus a premium that is subject to adjustment based upon changes to our credit ratings. Accordingly, we are vulnerable to changes in U.S. dollar based short term interest rates, specifically LIBOR. There have been recent governmental inquiries regarding the setting of LIBOR, which may result in changes to the process that could have the effect of increasing LIBOR. In addition, upon renewal or refinancing of our revolving credit facility or our term loan, we are vulnerable to increases in interest rate premiums due to market conditions or our perceived credit risk. Generally, a change in interest rates would not affect the value of this floating rate debt but would affect our operating results.

 

The following table presents the impact a 100 basis points increase in interest rates would have on our annual floating rate interest expense as of June 30, 2013:

The following table presents the impact that a 100 basis point increase in interest rates would have on our annual floating rate interest expense at June 30, 2013 if we were fully drawn on our revolving credit facility and our term loan remained outstanding:

The foregoing two tables show the impact of an immediate change in floating interest rates. If interest rates were to change gradually over time, the impact would be spread over time. Our exposure to fluctuations in floating interest rates will increase or decrease in the future with increases or decreases in the outstanding amounts of our revolving credit facility and term loan or other floating rate debt.

 

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures

 

As of the end of the period covered by this report, our management carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our Managing Trustees, President and Chief Operating Officer and Treasurer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act

HOSPITALITY PROPERTIES TRUST

·                  OUR HOTEL MANAGERS’ OR TENANTS’ ABILITIES TO PAY THE FULL CONTRACTUAL AMOUNTS OR ANY LESSER AMOUNTS OF RETURNS OR RENTS DUE TO US,

 

·                  OUR ABILITY TO PAY DISTRIBUTIONS TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS AND THE AMOUNT OF SUCH DISTRIBUTIONS,

 

·                  THE ABILITY OF TA TO PAY CURRENT AND DEFERRED RENT AMOUNTS DUE TO US,

 

·                  OUR ABILITY TO OBTAIN AND MAINTAIN QUALIFIED MANAGERS AND TENANTS FOR OUR HOTELS AND TRAVEL CENTERS ON SATISFACTORY TERMS,

 

·                  OUR ABILITY TO RAISE EQUITY OR DEBT CAPITAL,

 

·                  OUR INTENT TO REFURBISH OR MAKE IMPROVEMENTS TO CERTAIN OF OUR PROPERTIES,

 

·                  THE FUTURE AVAILABILITY OF BORROWINGS UNDER OUR REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY,

 

·                  OUR ABILITY TO PAY INTEREST ON AND PRINCIPAL OF OUR DEBT,

 

·                  OUR POLICIES AND PLANS REGARDING INVESTMENTS AND FINANCINGS,

 

·                  OUR TAX STATUS AS A REIT,

·                  THE SUCCESS OF OUR REBRANDING CERTAIN HOTELS,

 

·                  OUR EXPECTATION THAT WE WILL BENEFIT FINANCIALLY BY PARTICIPATING IN AIC WITH RMR AND COMPANIES TO WHICH RMR PROVIDES MANAGEMENT SERVICES, AND

 

·                  OTHER MATTERS.

 

OUR ACTUAL RESULTS MAY DIFFER MATERIALLY FROM THOSE CONTAINED IN OR IMPLIED BY OUR FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS AS A RESULT OF VARIOUS FACTORS. FACTORS THAT COULD HAVE A MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT ON OUR FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS AND UPON OUR BUSINESS, RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, FINANCIAL CONDITION, FFO, NORMALIZED FFO, CASH FLOWS, LIQUIDITY AND PROSPECTS INCLUDE, BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO:

 

·                  THE IMPACT OF CHANGES IN THE ECONOMY AND THE CAPITAL MARKETS ON US AND OUR MANAGERS AND TENANTS,

 

·                  LIMITATIONS IMPOSED ON OUR BUSINESS AND OUR ABILITY TO SATISFY COMPLEX RULES IN ORDER FOR US TO QUALIFY AS A REIT FOR U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX PURPOSES,

 

·                  COMPLIANCE WITH, AND CHANGES TO, FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL LAWS AND REGULATIONS AFFECTING THE REAL ESTATE, HOTEL, TRANSPORTATION AND TRAVEL CENTER INDUSTRIES, ACCOUNTING RULES, TAX LAWS AND SIMILAR MATTERS,

40



 

HOSPITALITY PROPERTIES TRUST

 

·                  ACTS OF TERRORISM, OUTBREAKS OF SO CALLED PANDEMICS OR OTHER MANMADE OR NATURAL DISASTERS BEYOND OUR CONTROL, AND

 

·                  ACTUAL AND POTENTIAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST WITH OUR MANAGING TRUSTEES, TA, SONESTA, RMR, AIC AND THEIR RELATED PERSONS AND ENTITIES.

 

FOR EXAMPLE:

 

·                  OUR ABILITY TO MAKE FUTURE DISTRIBUTIONS DEPENDS UPON A NUMBER OF FACTORS, INCLUDING OUR FUTURE EARNINGS. WE MAY BE UNABLE TO MAINTAIN OUR CURRENT RATE OF DISTRIBUTIONS ON OUR COMMON AND PREFERRED SHARES AND FUTURE DISTRIBUTIONS MAY BE SUSPENDED,

 

·                  THE SECURITY DEPOSITS WHICH WE HOLD ARE NOT IN SEGREGATED CASH ACCOUNTS OR OTHERWISE SEPARATE FROM OUR OTHER ASSETS AND LIABILITIES. ACCORDINGLY, WHEN WE RECORD INCOME BY REDUCING OUR SECURITY DEPOSIT LIABILITIES, WE DO NOT RECEIVE ANY ADDITIONAL CASH PAYMENT. BECAUSE WE DO NOT RECEIVE ANY ADDITIONAL CASH PAYMENT AND BECAUSE THE AMOUNT OF THE SECURITY DEPOSITS AVAILABLE FOR FUTURE USE IS REDUCED AS WE APPLY SECURITY DEPOSITS TO COVER PAYMENT SHORTFALLS, THE FAILURE OF OUR TENANTS OR MANAGERS TO PAY MINIMUM RETURNS OR RENTS DUE TO US MAY REDUCE OUR CASH FLOWS AND OUR ABILITY TO PAY DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS,

 

·                  WE EXPECT THAT, WHILE THE SECURITY DEPOSIT FOR OUR MARRIOTT NO. 234 AGREEMENT IS EXHAUSTED, MARRIOTT WILL PAY US UP TO 90% OF OUR MINIMUM RETURNS UNDER A LIMITED GUARANTY. THIS STATEMENT IMPLIES MARRIOTT WILL BE ABLE AND WILLING TO FULFILL ITS OBLIGATION UNDER THIS GUARANTY, AND THAT SHORTFALLS WILL NOT EXCEED THE GUARANTY CAP.  FURTHER, THIS GUARANTY EXPIRES ON DECEMBER 31, 2019. WE CAN PROVIDE NO ASSURANCE WITH REGARD TO MARRIOTT’S FUTURE ACTIONS OR THE FUTURE PERFORMANCE OF OUR MARRIOTT HOTELS,

 

·                  WE EXPECT THAT INTERCONTINENTAL WILL CONTINUE TO PAY US THE MINIMUM RETURNS INCLUDED IN OUR MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT WITH INTERCONTINENTAL AND THAT WE WILL UTILIZE THE SECURITY DEPOSIT WE HOLD FOR ANY PAYMENT SHORTFALLS. HOWEVER, THE SECURITY DEPOSIT WE HOLD FOR INTERCONTINENTAL’S OBLIGATIONS TO US IS FOR A LIMITED AMOUNT AND WE CAN PROVIDE NO ASSURANCE THAT THE SECURITY DEPOSIT WILL BE ADEQUATE TO COVER FUTURE PAYMENT SHORTFALLS FROM OUR INTERCONTINENTAL HOTELS,

 

·                  WYNDHAM HAS AGREED TO PARTIALLY GUARANTEE ANNUAL MINIMUM RETURNS PAYABLE TO US BY WYNDHAM. WYNDHAM’S GUARANTEE IS LIMITED BY TIME TO ANNUAL MINIMUM RETURN PAYMENTS DUE THROUGH 2019, AND AS OF JUNE 30, 2013, IT IS LIMITED TO NET PAYMENTS FROM WYNDHAM OF $29.0 MILLION (AND SUBJECT TO AN ANNUAL PAYMENT LIMIT OF $14.5 MILLION). ACCORDINGLY, THERE IS NO ASSURANCE THAT WE WILL RECEIVE THE ANNUAL MINIMUM RETURN DURING THE TERM OF OUR WYNDHAM AGREEMENT,

 

·                  THIS QUARTERLY REPORT ON FORM 10-Q STATES THE ANNUAL RENT DUE TO US UNDER A LEASE WITH MORGANS IS $6.0 MILLION, SUBJECT TO FUTURE INCREASES. WE CAN PROVIDE NO ASSURANCE THAT MORGANS WILL BE ABLE OR WILLING TO FULFILL ITS OBLIGATION UNDER THIS LEASE OR WITH REGARD TO THE FUTURE PERFORMANCE OF THE HOTEL WE LEASE TO MORGANS,

 

·                  WE HAVE RECENTLY REBRANDED CERTAIN HOTELS.  THE COST OF CAPITAL PROJECTS ASSOCIATED WITH SUCH REBRANDING MAY BE GREATER THAN WE NOW ANTICIPATE.  WHILE THE CAPITAL PROJECTS WILL CAUSE OUR CONTRACTUAL MINIMUM RETURNS TO INCREASE, THE HOTEL’S OPERATING RESULTS MAY NOT INCREASE OR MAY NOT INCREASE TO THE EXTENT THAT THE MINIMUM RETURNS INCREASE.  ACCORDINGLY,

 

41



 

HOSPITALITY PROPERTIES TRUST

 

COVERAGE OF OUR MINIMUM RETURNS AT THESE HOTELS MAY REMAIN DEPRESSED FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD,

 

·                  WE HAVE NO GUARANTEE OR SECURITY DEPOSIT FOR THE MINIMUM RETURNS DUE TO US FROM SONESTA OR UNDER OUR MARRIOTT NO. 1 AGREEMENT.  ACCORDINGLY, THE FUTURE RETURNS WE RECEIVE FROM HOTELS MANAGED BY SONESTA OR MANAGED BY MARRIOTT UNDER OUR MARRIOTT NO. 1 AGREEMENT ARE ENTIRELY DEPENDENT UPON THE FINANCIAL RESULTS OF THOSE HOTEL OPERATIONS,

 

·                  OTHER SECURITY DEPOSITS AND GUARANTEES REFERENCED HEREIN ARE ALSO LIMITED IN DURATION AND AMOUNT AND GUARANTEES ARE SUBJECT TO THE GUARANTORS’ ABILITY AND WILLINGNESS TO PAY,

 

·                  HOTEL ROOM DEMAND AND TRUCKING ACTIVITY ARE OFTEN A REFLECTION OF THE GENERAL ECONOMIC ACTIVITY IN THE COUNTRY. IF ECONOMIC ACTIVITY IN THE COUNTRY DECLINES, HOTEL ROOM DEMAND AND TRUCKING ACTIVITY MAY DECLINE AND THE OPERATING RESULTS OF OUR HOTELS AND TRAVEL CENTERS MAY DECLINE, THE FINANCIAL RESULTS OF OUR HOTEL OPERATORS AND OUR TENANTS, INCLUDING TA, MAY SUFFER AND THESE OPERATORS AND TENANTS MAY BE UNABLE TO PAY OUR RETURNS OR RENTS. ALSO, CONTINUED DEPRESSED OPERATING RESULTS FROM OUR PROPERTIES FOR EXTENDED PERIODS MAY RESULT IN THE GUARANTORS OF OUR MINIMUM RETURNS OR RENTS DUE FROM SOME OR ALL OF OUR HOTELS AND TRAVEL CENTERS BECOMING UNABLE OR UNWILLING TO MEET THEIR OBLIGATIONS OR THEIR GUARANTEES AND SECURITY DEPOSITS MAY BE EXHAUSTED,

 

·                  SINCE ITS FORMATION, TA HAS NOT PRODUCED CONSISTENT OPERATING PROFITS. IF THE CURRENT LEVEL OF GENERAL COMMERCIAL ACTIVITY IN THE COUNTRY DECLINES, IF THE PRICE OF DIESEL FUEL INCREASES SIGNIFICANTLY, IF FUEL CONSERVATION MEASURES ARE INCREASED, IF FREIGHT BUSINESS IS DIRECTED AWAY FROM TRUCKING, IF TA IS UNABLE TO EFFECTIVELY COMPETE OR OPERATE ITS BUSINESS OR FOR VARIOUS OTHER REASONS, TA MAY BECOME UNABLE TO PAY CURRENT AND DEFERRED RENTS DUE TO US,

 

·                  OUR ABILITY TO GROW OUR BUSINESS AND INCREASE OUR DISTRIBUTIONS DEPENDS IN LARGE PART UPON OUR ABILITY TO BUY PROPERTIES THAT GENERATE RETURNS WHICH EXCEED OUR CAPITAL COSTS. WE MAY BE UNABLE TO IDENTIFY PROPERTIES THAT WE WANT TO ACQUIRE OR TO NEGOTIATE ACCEPTABLE PURCHASE PRICES, ACQUISITION FINANCING, MANAGEMENT CONTRACTS OR LEASE TERMS FOR NEW PROPERTIES,

 

·                  CONTINGENCIES IN OUR FUTURE HOTEL ACQUISITION AGREEMENTS MAY CAUSE OUR ACQUISITIONS NOT TO OCCUR OR TO BE DELAYED OR THE TERMS TO BE CHANGED,

 

·                  THIS QUARTERLY REPORT ON FORM 10-Q STATES WE EXPECT TO FUND AN ADDITIONAL $19.2 MILLION TO RENOVATE HOTELS UNDER OUR MARRIOTT NO. 234 AGREEMENT, FUND AN ADDITIONAL $77.2 MILLION TO RENOVATE HOTELS INCLUDED IN OUR INTERCONTINENTAL AGREEMENT, FUND UP TO AN ADDITIONAL $75.6 MILLION TO RENOVATE 22 HOTELS IN OUR WYNDHAM AGREEMENT, AND FUND UP TO AN ADDITIONAL $141.5 MILLION TO RENOVATE AND REBRAND 22 HOTELS IN OUR SONESTA AGREEMENT. WE CAN PROVIDE NO ASSURANCE THAT THESE AMOUNTS WILL BE SUFFICIENT TO COMPLETE THE DESIRED RENOVATIONS, REFURBISHMENT OR REBRANDING COSTS, OR WHAT THE FINAL AMOUNTS FUNDED WILL BE,

 

·                  THIS QUARTERLY REPORT ON FORM 10-Q STATES THAT, AT JUNE 30, 2013, WE HAD $200.7 MILLION OF CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS, THAT THERE WAS $660.0 MILLION AVAILABLE UNDER OUR $750.0 MILLION UNSECURED REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY AND THAT WE HAVE SECURITY DEPOSITS AND GUARANTEES COVERING SOME OF OUR MINIMUM RETURNS AND RENTS. THESE STATEMENTS MAY IMPLY THAT WE HAVE ABUNDANT WORKING CAPITAL AND LIQUIDITY.  HOWEVER, OUR MANAGERS AND TENANTS MAY NOT BE ABLE TO FUND MINIMUM RETURNS AND RENTS DUE TO US FROM

 

42



 

HOSPITALITY PROPERTIES TRUST

 

THE OPERATIONS OF OUR PROPERTIES OR FROM OTHER RESOURCES; IN THE PAST AND CURRENTLY CERTAIN OF OUR TENANTS AND HOTEL MANAGERS HAVE IN FACT NOT BEEN ABLE TO PAY THE MINIMUM AMOUNTS DUE TO US FROM THEIR OPERATIONS OF OUR LEASED OR MANAGED PROPERTIES. ALSO, THE SECURITY DEPOSITS AND GUARANTEES WE MAY HAVE TO COVER ANY SUCH SHORTFALLS ARE LIMITED IN AMOUNT AND DURATION, AND ANY SECURITY DEPOSITS WE APPLY FOR SUCH SHORTFALLS DO NOT RESULT IN ADDITIONAL CASH FLOW TO US AS WE ALREADY HOLD THOSE FUNDS. FURTHER, OUR PROPERTIES REQUIRE, AND WE HAVE AGREED TO PROVIDE, SIGNIFICANT FUNDING FOR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS, RENOVATIONS, REBRANDING AND OTHER MATTERS. ACCORDINGLY, WE MAY NOT HAVE SUFFICIENT WORKING CAPITAL OR LIQUIDITY,

 

·                  WE MAY BE UNABLE TO REPAY OUR DEBT OBLIGATIONS WHEN THEY BECOME DUE,

 

·                  CONTINUED AVAILABILITY OF BORROWINGS UNDER OUR REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY IS SUBJECT TO OUR SATISFYING CERTAIN FINANCIAL COVENANTS AND MEETING OTHER CUSTOMARY CREDIT FACILITY CONDITIONS,

 

·                  ACTUAL COSTS UNDER OUR REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY WILL BE HIGHER THAN LIBOR PLUS A PREMIUM BECAUSE OF OTHER FEES AND EXPENSES ASSOCIATED WITH OUR REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY,

 

·                  INCREASING THE MAXIMUM BORROWINGS UNDER OUR REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY AND OUR TERM LOAN IS SUBJECT TO OUR OBTAINING ADDITIONAL COMMITMENTS FROM LENDERS, WHICH MAY NOT OCCUR, AND

 

·                  THIS QUARTERLY REPORT ON FORM 10-Q STATES THAT WE BELIEVE THAT OUR CONTINUING RELATIONSHIPS WITH RMR, TA, SONESTA, AIC, AND THEIR AFFILIATED AND RELATED PERSONS AND ENTITIES MAY BENEFIT US AND PROVIDE US WITH COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGES IN OPERATING AND GROWING OUR BUSINESS. IN FACT, THE ADVANTAGES WE BELIEVE WE MAY REALIZE FROM THESE RELATIONSHIPS MAY NOT MATERIALIZE.

 

THESE RESULTS COULD OCCUR DUE TO MANY DIFFERENT CIRCUMSTANCES, SOME OF WHICH ARE BEYOND OUR CONTROL, SUCH AS NATURAL DISASTERS, CHANGES IN OUR TENANTS’ REVENUES OR EXPENSES, CHANGES IN OUR MANAGERS’ OR TENANTS’ FINANCIAL CONDITIONS OR THE MARKET DEMAND FOR HOTEL ROOMS OR FUEL, OR CHANGES IN CAPITAL MARKETS OR THE ECONOMY GENERALLY.
