Segment Operating Results

Hospitality

Key components of the Company’s hospitality segment performance in the second quarter of 2009 include:

  • Same-store RevPAR decreased 19.8 percent to $104.85 in the second quarter of 2009 compared to $130.68 in the prior-year quarter. Same-store Total RevPAR decreased 19.6 percent to $248.72 in the second quarter compared to $309.50 in the prior-year quarter. Same-store hotels excludes Gaylord National for all periods presented. In the second quarter of 2009, Gaylord National RevPAR increased 6.1 percent to $145.25 compared to $136.85 in the prior-year quarter. Gaylord National Total RevPAR was flat in the second quarter at $343.99 compared to $343.12 in the prior-year quarter.
  • Second quarter 2009 same-store CCF decreased 29.9 percent to $39.1 million compared to $55.8 million in the prior-year quarter. Same-store CCF included approximately $0.4 million of special expense related to severance costs in the second quarter of 2009. Same-store CCF margin4 declined 420 basis points to 28.3 percent compared to 32.5 percent for the same period last year. In the second quarter of 2009, Gaylord National generated CCF of $20.6 million compared to $14.1 million in the prior-year quarter. Gaylord National second quarter CCF results include approximately $0.2 million of special expense related to severance costs. Gaylord National CCF margin improved 1,030 basis points to 33.0 percent versus 22.7 percent for the same period last year.
  • Same-store attrition in the second quarter was 14.0 percent of the agreed upon room block compared to 9.8 percent for the same period in 2008 and 16.7 percent in the first quarter of 2009. Same-store cancellations in the second quarter totaled approximately 29,381 room nights compared to 12,847 in the same period of 2008 and 66,872 in the first quarter of 2009. Gaylord Hotels attrition and cancellation fee collections totaled $8.2 million in the quarter compared to $3.6 million for the same period in 2008 and $7.6 million in the first quarter of 2009.

Reed continued, “During the quarter, attrition and cancellation fees contributed significantly to our profitability. Although we would prefer to have guests stay at our properties, attrition and cancellation fees provide an important measure of profitability protection for us and are especially critical in these challenging times. While meeting planner decisions continue to be negatively impacted by the ongoing difficult economic conditions, we are beginning to see signs of improvement. Cancellations are down considerably relative to the first quarter of this year, and attrition is beginning to improve. Even so, we remain focused on identifying additional ways to improve our cost structure, preserve capital and maximize cash flow. Our efforts thus far have enabled the solid margin performance delivered by our hotels in the second quarter of 2009. We will not, however, cut costs in areas where it will adversely impact customer service as it is one of the fundamental principles that differentiate Gaylord from other brands as evidenced by our second quarter gross room night production.”

At the property level, Gaylord Opryland generated revenue of $55.3 million in the second quarter of 2009, compared to $73.5 million for the same period a year ago. Second quarter RevPAR decreased 22.4 percent to $96.67 compared to $124.54 in the same period last year, driven by a 13.9 percentage point decline in occupancy resulting from group cancellations and attrition. Total RevPAR decreased 24.8 percent to $211.14 in the second quarter of 2009 compared to $280.68 in the prior-year quarter. CCF decreased 41.2 percent to $13.6 million for the second quarter, versus $23.1 million in the year-ago quarter due to the decline in rooms revenue and a drop in food and beverage spending and resulted in a CCF margin performance in the second quarter of 24.5 percent. CCF includes special expense of approximately $0.1 million related to severance costs in the second quarter of 2009.

Gaylord Palms posted revenue of $39.2 million in the second quarter of 2009, a 17.9 percent decrease compared to $47.8 million in the prior-year quarter. Occupancy for the quarter was down 10.9 percentage points compared to the prior-year quarter due to group cancellations and attrition. Second quarter RevPAR decreased 15.0 percent to $129.95 compared to $152.89 in the same quarter last year, largely driven by the decline in occupancy and a decrease in transient ADR. Total RevPAR decreased 17.9 percent to $306.56, due largely to decreased occupancy and food and beverage revenue. CCF at the property was $11.9 million compared to $16.0 million in the prior-year quarter, resulting in a CCF margin of 30.4 percent. CCF at the property includes approximately $0.1 million of special expense related to severance costs in the second quarter of 2009.

Gaylord Texan revenue was $41.5 million in the second quarter of 2009, a decrease of 13.4 percent from $48.0 million in the prior-year quarter, largely driven by a 10.0 percentage point decline in occupancy. RevPAR in the second quarter decreased 19.9 percent to $106.13 due to the decline in occupancy. Total RevPAR decreased 13.4 percent to $302.28 compared to $348.95 in the prior-year quarter. CCF decreased 17.9 percent to $13.0 million in the second quarter of 2009, compared to $15.9 million in the prior-year quarter, resulting in a 31.4 percent CCF margin. CCF at the property includes approximately $0.2 million in special expense related to severance costs in the second quarter of 2009.

Gaylord National generated revenue of $62.5 million in the second quarter of 2009, an increase of 1.0 percent from $61.8 million in the prior-year quarter. RevPAR in the second quarter increased 6.1 percent to $145.25 compared to $136.85 in the prior-year quarter. Total RevPAR increased 0.3 percent to $343.99 in the second quarter compared to $343.12 in the prior-year quarter. CCF increased 46.7 percent to $20.6 million in the second quarter of 2009 compared to $14.1 million in the prior-year quarter, resulting in a 33.0 percent CCF margin. CCF at the property includes approximately $0.2 million in special expense related to severance costs in the second quarter of 2009.

Reed continued, “We continue to be pleased with the progress of the Gaylord National and we are encouraged by the success of the National Harbor development in not only attracting groups and tourists but also world-class brands and attractions. The recent announcement that Disney will be developing a family-themed resort hotel supports our belief that the Gaylord National and the surrounding area will continue to deliver even greater success in the future.”

Development Update

Gaylord Entertainment’s planned resort and convention hotel in Mesa, Arizona is still in the very early stages of planning and specific details of the property and budget have not yet been determined. In the current economic environment, Gaylord remains focused on conserving capital, and the Company anticipates that any expenditure associated with the project will not have a material financial impact in the near-term.

Opry and Attractions

Opry and Attractions segment revenue decreased 27.6 percent to $17.7 million in the second quarter of 2009, compared to $24.5 million in the year-ago quarter. The segment’s CCF increased to $7.3 million in the second quarter of 2009 compared to $4.6 million in the prior-year quarter, primarily due to a $3.6 million gain recorded from the TIF payment related to the Ryman Auditorium. CCF for the second quarter of 2009 includes approximately $0.1 million in special expense related to severance costs.

Corporate and Other

Corporate and Other operating loss totaled $14.8 million in the second quarter of 2009 compared to an operating loss of $12.8 million in the same period last year. Corporate and Other CCF in the second quarter decreased 13.0 percent to a loss of $11.2 million compared to a loss of $9.9 million in the same period last year. For the second quarter of 2009, the difference between Corporate and Other operating loss and Corporate and Other CCF was primarily due to depreciation and amortization expense and non-cash stock option expense. Second quarter 2009 CCF includes approximately $1.7 million in special expense related to severance costs.

Liquidity

As of June 30, 2009, the Company had long-term debt outstanding, including current portion, of $1,241.0 million and unrestricted and restricted cash of $29.5 million. At the end of the second quarter of 2009, $790.5 million of borrowings were outstanding under the Company’s $1.0 billion credit facility, and the lending banks had issued $9.9 million of letters of credit, which left $199.6 million of availability under the credit facility. Gaylord Entertainment has no significant loan maturities until July 2012.

During the second quarter of 2009, Gaylord Entertainment recorded a pretax gain of $8.2 million as a result of the repurchase of $28.3 million in aggregate principal amount of its outstanding senior notes ($21.3 million of 8.0 percent senior notes and $7.0 million of 6.75 percent senior notes). This brings the total aggregate principal amount repurchased to $134.0 million since the inception of the Company’s debt repurchase program in December 2008. The Company used available cash and borrowings under its revolving credit facility to finance the purchases and will consider additional repurchases of its senior notes from time to time depending on market conditions.

Outlook

The Company does not expect to update guidance before next quarter’s earnings release. However, the Company may update its full business outlook or any portion thereof at any time for any reason.

Reed continued, “While we are still experiencing an exceptionally difficult economic climate, we are beginning to see some signs of stabilization across our business. We are closely monitoring customer behavior and attrition and cancellation levels, and closely managing our costs to ensure we are taking the appropriate actions to maximize the profitability of our business. Although we believe the hospitality market remains unpredictable and that additional challenges may present themselves as we progress towards a recovery, we are comfortable with our current projections. As a result, we are maintaining our current guidance for the year.”

This press release contains statements as to the Company’s beliefs and expectations of the outcome of future events that are forward-looking statements as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from the statements made. These include the risks and uncertainties associated with economic conditions affecting the hospitality business generally, including recessionary economic conditions in the United States, the timing of the opening of new hotel facilities, increased costs and other risks associated with building and developing new hotel facilities, the geographic concentration of our hotel properties, business levels at the Company’s hotels, our ability to successfully operate our hotels and our ability to obtain financing for new developments. Other factors that could cause operating and financial results to differ are described in the filings made from time to time by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission and include the risk factors described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2009. The Company does not undertake any obligation to release publicly any revisions to forward-looking statements made by it to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date hereof or the occurrence of unanticipated events.

1The Company calculates revenue per available room (“RevPAR”) for its hospitality segment by dividing room sales by room nights available to guests for the period.

2The Company calculates total revenue per available room (“Total RevPAR”) by dividing the sum of room sales, food & beverage, and other ancillary services revenue by room nights available to guests for the period.

3 Adjusted EBITDA (defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, as well as certain unusual items) is a non-GAAP financial measure which is used herein because we believe it allows for a more complete analysis of operating performance by presenting an analysis of operations separate from the earnings impact of capital transactions and without certain items that do not impact our ongoing operations such as gains on the sale of assets and purchases of our debt. In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, these items are not included in determining our operating income (loss). The information presented should not be considered as an alternative to any measure of performance as promulgated under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (such as operating income, net income, or cash from operations), nor should it be considered as an indicator of overall financial performance. Adjusted EBITDA does not fully consider the impact of investing or financing transactions, as it specifically excludes depreciation and interest charges, which should also be considered in the overall evaluation of our results of operations. Our method of calculating Adjusted EBITDA may be different from the method used by other companies and therefore comparability may be limited. A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income is presented in the Supplemental Financial Results contained in this press release.

4As discussed in footnote 3 above, Adjusted EBITDA is used herein as essentially operating income plus depreciation and amortization. Consolidated Cash Flow (which is used in this release as that term is defined in the Indentures governing the Company’s 8 percent and 6.75 percent senior notes) is a non-GAAP financial measure which also excludes the impact of pre-opening costs, impairment charges, the non-cash portion of the Florida ground lease expense, stock option expense, the non-cash gains and losses on the disposal of certain fixed assets and adds (subtracts) other gains (losses). The Consolidated Cash Flow measure is one of the principal tools used by management in evaluating the operating performance of the Company’s business and represents the method by which the Indentures calculate whether or not the Company can incur additional indebtedness (for instance in order to incur certain additional indebtedness, Consolidated Cash Flow for the most recent four fiscal quarters as a ratio to debt service must be at least 2 to 1). The calculation of these amounts as well as a reconciliation of those amounts to net income or segment operating income is included as part of the Supplemental Financial Results contained in this press release. CCF Margin is defined as CCF divided by revenue.
