CHARLOTTE, N.C., Nov. 06, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Extended Stay America, Inc. and ESH Hospitality, Inc. (together, the “Company”) (NASDAQ:STAY) today announced consolidated results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019.

Third Quarter 2019 Highlights

Net Income of $53.2 million
Total revenues of $332.7 million
Comparable system-wide Revenue Per Available Room (“RevPAR”) declined 1.3%
Adjusted EBITDA of $156.3 million
Adjusted Funds from Operations (“Adjusted FFO”)¹ of $0.54 per diluted Paired Share
Adjusted Paired Share Income¹ of $0.33 per diluted Paired Share
$186 million in capital returns to shareholders for the first nine months of 2019

Extended Stay America’s President and Chief Executive Officer, Jonathan Halkyard, commented, “Our focus on core extended stay guests enabled us to outperform our competitive set yet again this quarter, a quarter which was characterized by slowing growth in the Economy and Mid-priced chain scales.”

Mr. Halkyard continued, “We have increased the pace of capital returns to shareholders in recent months and are on track to return more than 10% of our recent market capitalization to shareholders in 2019 through dividends and Paired Share repurchases. Capital returns remain a top priority for the Company with a strong balance sheet, a dividend yield in excess of 6% and more than $200 million remaining in repurchase authorization at the end of the third quarter.”

Financial and Operating Results

Total revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2019 were $332.7 million, a decrease of 5.2% over the same period in the prior year due to asset dispositions in 2018 and a decline in Comparable Company-owned RevPAR. Adjusting for asset dispositions in 2018, total revenues declined 0.6% during the third quarter. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, total revenues declined 5.2% to $934.0 million, driven by asset dispositions. Adjusting for asset dispositions in 2018, total revenues were approximately flat for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

Comparable system-wide RevPAR for the three months ended September 30, 2019 decreased 1.3% over the same period in 2018 to $54.81, driven by a 2.0% decline in Average Daily Rate (“ADR”), partially offset by a 70 basis point increase in occupancy. The decline in Comparable system-wide RevPAR was primarily driven by a decline in business transient and medium length stays, particularly in the month of September. Total Company-owned RevPAR increased 1.1% during the quarter, reflecting the sale of non-core hotels throughout 2018. Comparable system-wide RevPAR for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 declined 0.9% over the same period in 2018 driven by a 2.5% decline in ADR, partially offset by a 120 basis point increase in occupancy. Total Company-owned RevPAR for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 increased 1.7% over the same period in 2018, reflecting the sale of non-core hotels throughout 2018.

Hotel Operating Margin¹for the three months ended September 30, 2019 was 53.8% compared to 55.5% in the same period in 2018. While we continued our strategy to maximize targeted marketing efforts to our longest staying customers and other cost saving initiatives, these were offset by an increase in certain operating expenses, including hotel payroll expense, property insurance expense and property taxes, as well as a decline in Comparable Company-owned RevPAR. Hotel Operating Margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was 52.9% compared to 54.8% in the same period of 2018. Property-level margins remain at industry leading levels.

Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2019 was $53.2 million compared to $75.7 million in the same period in 2018, a decrease of 29.7%. Net income this quarter was adversely impacted by a $6.7 million debt extinguishment charge related to the Company’s Term Loan modifications and Unsecured Notes offering in September 2019, a non-recurring gain on dispositions of $3.5 million in 2018, as well an impairment charge of $2.7 million, partially offset by a decrease in income tax expense. Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $141.3 million compared to $172.4 million in the same period in 2018, a decrease of 18.0%. The decline in net income for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 was primarily due to a decline in Hotel Operating Margin, partially offset by lower depreciation expense.

Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended September 30, 2019 was $156.3 million, a decline of 10.0% compared to the same period in 2018. The decline in Adjusted EBITDA was due to asset dispositions in 2018 resulting in lost contribution of $6.8 million, a decline in Comparable Company-owned RevPAR and an increase in Comparable Company-owned hotel operating expenses. Adjusted EBITDA excludes non-cash equity-based compensation expense of $1.9 million, $2.7 million in impairment expense and $1.8 million in other expenses. Adjusted EBITDA for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $426.3 million, a decline of 9.9%, due to asset dispositions in 2018 resulting in lost contribution of $20.5 million and an increase in comparable hotel operating expenses.

Adjusted FFO for the three months ended September 30, 2019 was $101.5 million compared to $115.1 million in the same period in 2018. The decline in Adjusted FFO was due to an increase in Comparable Company-owned hotel operating expenses and a decline in Comparable Company-owned RevPAR. Adjusted FFO per diluted Paired Share was $0.54 compared to $0.61 in the same period in 2018. Adjusted FFO, a non-GAAP measure, represents funds from operations, as adjusted, attributable to the consolidated enterprise, whose representative equity security is a Paired Share. A Paired Share entitles its holder to participate in 100% of the common equity and earnings of both Extended Stay America, Inc. and ESH Hospitality, Inc. Adjusted FFO for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $269.8 million, or $1.43 per diluted Paired Share, compared to $305.0 million, or $1.60 per diluted Paired Share, in the same period in 2018.

Adjusted Paired Share Income for the three months ended September 30, 2019 was $62.6 million, or $0.33 per diluted Paired Share, compared to $74.0 million, or $0.39 per diluted Paired Share, in the same period in 2018. The decline in Adjusted Paired Share Income was due to a decline in Hotel Operating Margin and Comparable Company-owned RevPAR, partially offset by lower depreciation expense. Adjusted Paired Share Income, a non-GAAP measure, represents net income, as adjusted, attributable to the consolidated enterprise, whose representative equity security is a Paired Share. Adjusted Paired Share Income per diluted Paired Share for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $0.81 compared to $0.94 in the same period in 2018.

Capital Expenditures

The Company invested $65.1 million in capital expenditures during the third quarter of 2019. This includes $10.2 million in renovation capital, $10.9 million in IT capital and $20.2 million in capital for ESA 2.0 hotel development and land acquisitions. The Company invested $178.0 million in capital expenditures during the first nine months of 2019.
