Service Properties Trust Announces Third Quarter 2022 Results

Net Income of $0.05 Per Common Share

100.0% Increase in Normalized FFO to $0.54 Per Common Share

26.3% Increase in Adjusted EBITDAre to $173.5 Million

NEWTON, Mass.--()--Service Properties Trust (Nasdaq: SVC) today announced its financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2022.

Todd Hargreaves, President and Chief Investment Officer of SVC, made the following statement:

Hotel operating trends continued to recover in the third quarter, driven by increased bookings at our urban and suburban select service hotels. Comparable RevPAR increased by 29.6% over the prior year quarter. The solid performance of our operators generated a 77.1% increase in comparable hotel EBITDA over the same period last year.

Business activity at our hotels in September and October increased, led by mid-week booking improvement. We expect to benefit further in the coming quarters from the continued business travel recovery, particularly at our full service and select service hotels. With ongoing hotel fundamentals improving, over $750 million of available liquidity and steady cash flows from our net lease portfolio, we increased our quarterly dividend to $0.20 per common share, which reflects our confidence in the business going forward.”

Service Properties Trust (Nasdaq: SVC) is a real estate investment trust, or REIT, with over $11 billion invested in two asset categories: hotels and service-focused retail net lease properties. As of September 30, 2022, SVC owned 242 hotels with over 40,000 guest rooms throughout the United States and in Puerto Rico and Canada, the majority of which are extended stay and select service. As of September 30, 2022, SVC also owned 769 retail service-focused net lease properties totaling over 13.4 million square feet throughout United States. SVC is managed by The RMR Group (Nasdaq: RMR), an alternative asset management company with over $37 billion in assets under management as of September 30, 2022 and more than 35 years of institutional experience in buying, selling, financing and operating commercial real estate. SVC is headquartered in Newton, MA. For more information, visit www.svcreit.com.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Certain Definitions:

SVC presents certain “non-GAAP financial measures” within the meaning of the applicable Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, rules, including funds from operations, or FFO, Normalized FFO, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA, Hotel EBITDA, EBITDA for real estate, or EBITDAre, and Adjusted EBITDAre. These measures do not represent cash generated by operating activities in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered alternatives to net income (loss) as indicators of SVC’s operating performance or as measures of SVC’s liquidity. These measures should be considered in conjunction with net income (loss) as presented in SVC’s condensed consolidated statements of income (loss). SVC considers these non-GAAP measures to be appropriate supplemental measures of operating performance for a REIT, along with net income (loss). SVC believes these measures provide useful information to investors because by excluding the effects of certain historical amounts, such as depreciation and amortization expense, they may facilitate a comparison of SVC’s operating performance between periods and with other REITs and, in the case of Hotel EBITDA, reflecting only those income and expense items that are generated and incurred at the hotel level may help both investors and management to understand the operations of SVC’s hotels. SVC believes that Hotel EBITDA provides useful information to management and investors as a key measure of the profitability of its hotel operations.

Please see the pages attached hereto for a more detailed statement of SVC’s operating results and financial condition and for an explanation of SVC’s calculation of FFO and Normalized FFO, EBITDA, Hotel EBITDA, EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre and a reconciliation of those amounts to amounts determined in accordance with GAAP.

Average Daily Rate, or ADR, represents rooms revenue divided by the total number of room nights sold in a given period. ADR provides useful insight on pricing at SVC’s hotels and is a measure widely used in the hotel industry.

Comparable Hotels Data: SVC presents RevPAR, ADR, and occupancy for the periods presented on a comparable basis to facilitate comparisons between periods. SVC generally defines comparable hotels as those that were owned by it on September 30, 2022 and were open and operating for the entire periods being compared. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, SVC’s comparable results excluded three hotels that had suspended operations during part of the periods presented.

Hotel EBITDA: Hotel EBITDA is calculated as hotel operating revenues less hotel operating expenses of all managed and leased hotels, prior to any adjustments required for presentation in SVC’s condensed consolidated statements of income (loss) in accordance with GAAP.

Hotel EBITDA Margin: Hotel EBITDA Margin is Hotel EBITDA as a percentage of hotel operating revenues.

Occupancy represents the total number of room nights sold divided by the total number of room nights available at a hotel or group of hotels. Occupancy is an important measure of the utilization rate and demand of SVC’s hotels.

Rent Coverage: SVC defines Rent Coverage as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and rent, or EBITDAR, divided by the annual minimum rent due to SVC weighted by the minimum rent of the property to total minimum rents of the net lease portfolio. EBITDAR amounts used to determine rent coverage are generally for the latest twelve-month period reported based on the most recent operating information, if any, furnished by the tenant. Operating statements furnished by the tenant often are unaudited and, in certain cases, may not have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and are not independently verified by SVC. Tenants that do not report operating information are excluded from the rent coverage calculations. In instances where SVC does not have financial information for the most recent quarter from its tenants, it has calculated an implied EBITDAR for the 2022 third quarter using industry benchmark data to reflect current operating trends. SVC believes using this industry benchmark data provides a reasonable estimate of recent operating results and rent coverage for those tenants.

Revenue per Available Room, or RevPAR, represents rooms revenue divided by the total number of room nights available to guests for a given period. RevPAR is an industry metric correlated to occupancy and ADR and helps measure revenue performance over comparable periods.

(1)

As of September 30, 2022, SVC owned 242 hotels. SVC’s condensed consolidated statements of income (loss) include hotel operating revenues and expenses of its managed hotels.

(2)

In calculating net income, SVC recognizes percentage rental income when all contingencies are met and the income is earned. SVC recognized percentage rental income of $2,279 and $555 in the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $3,421 and $944 in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

 

SVC reduced rental income by $1,845 and $905 for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and reduced rental income by $5,530 and $3,087 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, to record scheduled rent changes under certain of SVC’s leases, the deferred rent obligations under SVC’s leases with TravelCenters of America Inc., or TA, and the estimated future payments to SVC under its leases with TA for the cost of removing underground storage tanks on a straight-line basis.

(3)

When managers of SVC’s hotels are required to fund the shortfalls of owner’s priority return under the terms of SVC’s management agreements or their guarantees, SVC reflects such fundings in its condensed consolidated statements of income (loss) as a reduction of hotel operating expenses. There were no net reductions to hotel operating expenses during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022. The net reductions to hotel operating expenses were $15,696 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

(4)

Transaction related costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 of $1,920 primarily consisted of costs related to SVC’s exploration of possible financing transactions. Transaction related costs for the three months ended September 30, 2021 of $3,149 are primarily related to legal costs related to SVC’s arbitration proceeding with Marriott. Transaction related costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 included $19,971 of hotel manager transition related costs resulting from the rebranding of 88 hotels during the period, $5,263 of legal costs related to SVC’s arbitration proceeding with Marriott and $3,700 of working capital SVC previously funded under its agreement with Hyatt as a result of the amount no longer expected to be recoverable.

(5)

SVC recorded a loss on asset impairment of $1,172 to reduce the carrying value of three hotels and one net lease property to their estimated fair value less costs to sell during the three months ended September 30, 2022. SVC recorded a loss on asset impairment of $9,720 to reduce the carrying value of 28 hotels and five net lease properties to their estimated fair value less costs to sell during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. SVC recorded a loss on asset impairment of $2,110 during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 to reduce the carrying value of five net lease properties to their estimated fair value less costs to sell.

(6)

SVC recorded a $164 net loss on sale of real estate during the three months ended September 30, 2022 in connection with the sale of five hotels and six net lease properties. SVC recorded a $94 net gain on sale of real estate during the three months ended September 30, 2021 in connection with the sale of two net lease properties. SVC recorded a $44,235 net gain on sale of real estate during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 in connection with the sale of 61 hotels and 19 net lease properties. SVC recorded a $10,934 net gain on sale of real estate during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 in connection with the sale of six hotels and five net lease properties.

(7)

Unrealized gain or loss on equity securities, net represents the adjustment required to adjust the carrying value of SVC’s investment in shares of TA common stock to its fair value.

(8)

SVC recorded a $791 loss on extinguishment of debt during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 related to the write off of deferred financing costs and unamortized discounts relating to its amendment to its revolving credit facility and the repayment of $500,000 of unsecured senior notes.

(9)

Represents SVC’s proportionate share from its equity investment in Sonesta.

(10)

SVC calculates FFO and Normalized FFO as shown above. FFO is calculated on the basis defined by The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or Nareit, which is net income (loss), calculated in accordance with GAAP, excluding any gain or loss on sale of properties and loss on impairment of real estate assets, if any, plus real estate depreciation and amortization, less any unrealized gains and losses on equity securities, as well as adjustments to reflect SVC’s share of FFO attributable to an investee and certain other adjustments currently not applicable to SVC. In calculating Normalized FFO, SVC adjusts for the items shown above. FFO and Normalized FFO are among the factors considered by SVC’s Board of Trustees when determining the amount of distributions to its shareholders. Other factors include, but are not limited to, requirements to satisfy SVC’s REIT distribution requirements, limitations in its credit agreement and public debt covenants, the availability to SVC of debt and equity capital, SVC’s distribution rate as a percentage of the trading price of its common shares, or dividend yield, and to the dividend yield of other REITs, SVC’s expectation of its future capital requirements and operating performance and SVC’s expected needs for and availability of cash to pay its obligations. Other real estate companies and REITs may calculate FFO and Normalized FFO differently than SVC does.

(11)

SVC calculates EBITDA, EBITDAre, and Adjusted EBITDAre as shown above. EBITDAre is calculated on the basis defined by Nareit which is EBITDA, excluding gains and losses on the sale of real estate, loss on impairment of real estate assets, if any, and adjustments to reflect SVC’s share of EBITDAre attributable to an investee. In calculating Adjusted EBITDAre, SVC adjusts for the items shown above. Other real estate companies and REITs may calculate EBITDA, EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre differently than SVC does.

(12)

Amounts represent the equity compensation for SVC’s Trustees, and officers and certain other employees of SVC’s manager.

(13)

Various percentages of total sales at certain of SVC’s hotels are escrowed as reserves for future renovations or refurbishments, or FF&E reserve escrows. SVC owns all the FF&E reserve escrows for its hotels.

(14)

SVC is amortizing a liability it recorded for the fair value of its initial investment in Sonesta as a reduction to hotel operating expenses in its condensed consolidated statements of income (loss). SVC reduced hotel operating expenses by $621 for each of the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, and $1,863 for each of the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, for this liability.

Warning Concerning Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains statements that constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and other securities laws. Whenever SVC uses words such as “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “estimate,” “will,” “may” and negatives or derivatives of these or similar expressions, SVC is making forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based upon SVC’s present intent, beliefs or expectations, but forward-looking statements are not guaranteed to occur and may not occur. Actual results may differ materially from those contained in or implied by SVC’s forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, some of which are beyond SVC’s control. For example:

  • Mr. Hargreaves states that hotel operating trends continued to recover in the third quarter and that business activity at SVC’s hotels in September and October 2022 increased, led by mid-week booking improvement, and that SVC expects to benefit further in the coming quarters from the continued business travel recovery, particularly at SVC’s full service and select service hotels, and that SVC realized favorable comparable RevPAR and hotel EBITDA results over the prior year period. These statements may imply that these trends will continue to improve and not decline and that SVC will benefit as a result; however, the hotel industry and SVC’s business are subject to various risks, including risks beyond its control, such as the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the market practices that arose or increased in response to the pandemic, and economic and market conditions, including the current inflationary conditions, geopolitical risks and possible recession. As a result, hotel operating trends and business travel may not continue to improve and may decline and SVC’s operating results could decline;
  • Mr. Hargreaves also states that with ongoing hotel fundamentals improving, over $750 million of available liquidity and steady cash flows from SVC’s net lease portfolio, SVC increased its quarterly dividend to $0.20 per common share, which reflects SVC’s confidence in the business going forward. These statements may imply that the continued improved performance of SVC’s hotel portfolio and steady performance of SVC’s net lease assets may continue and that SVC will have sufficient working capital and liquidity to meet its obligations and fund its business and investments. However, the improved performance of SVC’s hotel portfolio and steady performance of SVC’s net lease assets may not continue or may decline and the amounts SVC receives from its operators may be insufficient to operate SVC’s business profitably. Accordingly, SVC may not have sufficient working capital or liquidity. In addition, other possible implications of these statements are that SVC will continuously pay quarterly dividends at $0.20/share per quarter or $0.80/share per year in the future. SVC’s dividend rates are set and reset from time to time by SVC’s Board of Trustees. The SVC Board considers many factors when setting dividend rates including SVC’s historical and projected income, Normalized FFO, cash available for distribution, the then current and expected needs and availability of cash to pay SVC’s obligations and fund SVC’s investments, distributions which may be required to be paid to maintain SVC’s tax status as a real estate investment trust and other factors deemed relevant by SVC’s Board of Trustees in its discretion. Accordingly, future dividend rates may be increased or decreased and there is no assurance as to the rate at which future dividends will be paid. In addition, borrowings under SVC’s credit agreement are subject to conditions; and
  • SVC has entered agreements for the sale of 20 properties for an aggregate sales price of $162.5 million and expects to complete these sales by the end of the first quarter of 2023. The sales of SVC’s properties are subject to conditions; accordingly, SVC cannot provide any assurance that it will sell any of these properties and the sales may be delayed, may not occur or their terms may change. Any sales it may complete may be at prices less than SVC expects.
