Host Marriott Reports Third Quarter Funds From Operations Of $.28 Per Diluted Share

Host Marriott Reports Third Quarter Funds From Operations Of $.28 Per Diluted Share

10/18/2001

BETHESDA, Md., Oct. 18 /PRNewswire/ -- Host Marriott Corporation (NYSE: HMT) today reported results of operations for the third quarter ended September 7, 2001, noting that Comparative Funds From Operations ("FFO") was $.28 per diluted share. For the thirty-six weeks ended September 7, 2001, FFO was $1.24 per diluted share. The prior year FFO was $.42 and $1.37 per diluted share for the quarter and year-to-date, respectively. The company also reported that Earnings Before Interest Expense, Income Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization and other non-cash items ("EBITDA") was $190 million for the 2001 third quarter and $732 million year-to-date. EBITDA for the comparable periods in 2000 was $236 million and $749 million for the quarter and year-to-date, respectively. Diluted earnings (loss) per share was $(.06) and $.21 for the third quarter and year-to-date 2001, respectively, versus $(.10) and $(.62) for the prior year periods. RevPAR for comparable properties was down 11.9% for the quarter due to a decline in occupancy of 5.9 percentage points and a decline of nearly five percent in room rate. For the thirty-six weeks RevPAR was down 6.1% with a decline in occupancy of 5 percentage points offset by a slight increase in room rates of 0.3 percent.

Mr. Christopher J. Nassetta, president and chief executive officer, stated, "The results of our third quarter, which ended September 7th, reflected the already weakening economic conditions throughout the country, which were further affected by the terrorist attacks of September 11th. The downturn in the economy and, especially, the travel industry has been dramatic. In the weeks following the attacks we experienced significant declines in occupancy from cancellation of both group and transient business. We have responded by working with our operators to reduce costs in order to lower the breakeven level of operations at our hotels."

Mr. Nassetta continued, "We believe we have seen the worst of the decline and have begun to see a recovery with weekly occupancy rates improving in recent weeks to the mid 60s level, although both room rate and occupancy levels continue to be below prior year levels. Although the timing of a full recovery is unclear, we expect that as the economy strengthens and travel returns, the combination of limited new supply and a reduced cost structure will provide us a foundation for solid future growth."

Hotel sales for the third quarter 2001 were $829 million with $19 million of rental income recognized for hotels still leased to third parties. Total sales for all of the company's hotels were $907 million for the 2001 third quarter versus total sales of $985 million in the same quarter of 2000.

The net loss available to common shareholders for the quarter ended September 7, 2001 was $16 million compared to a net loss available to common shareholders of $22 million for the quarter ended September 8, 2000. For the thirty-six weeks ended September 7, 2001, the net income (loss) available to common shareholders increased to $51 million compared to $(138) million for the thirty-six weeks ended September 8, 2000.

This press release includes various references to Comparative FFO and EBITDA. Comparative FFO represents Funds From Operations, as defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, adjusted for contingent rental revenues and substantial non-recurring items. We consider Comparative FFO and EBITDA to be indicative measures of our operating performance, due to the significance of our long-lived assets and because such data is considered useful by the investment community to better understand our results, and can be used to measure our ability to service debt, fund capital expenditures, and expand our business. However, such information should not be considered as an alternative to net income, operating profit, cash from operations, or any other operating or liquidity performance measure prescribed by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Cash expenditures for various long-term assets, interest expense (for EBITDA purposes only) and income taxes that have been, and will be, incurred are not reflected in the Comparative FFO and EBITDA presentations. Although FFO and EBITDA are considered standard benchmarks utilized by the investment community, our Comparative FFO and EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

Certain matters discussed in this press release are forward-looking statements within the meaning of federal securities regulations. All forward- looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual transactions, results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future transactions, results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. General economic conditions, including the duration and severity of the current downturn as a result of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attack, competition, and governmental actions will affect future transactions, results, performance, and achievements. These risks are presented in detail in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Although we believe the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions, we can give no assurance that our expectations will be attained or that any deviations will not be material.

                          HOST MARRIOTT CORPORATION

                                 Introduction

The following financial data is presented in order to help our investors understand the financial position and operations of the company as of September 7, 2001. The financial data has not been adjusted to reflect the significant changes in the operating environment of the Company and the hospitality industry as a result of the terrorist attacks on September 11th. Since September 11, 2001, the Company has experienced significant declines in occupancy and has begun to have room rate pressure, which has led to decreases in operating profit in most markets. While we believe that lodging demand will gradually return to normal levels, our 2001 fourth quarter and year-to-date results will likely not be comparable to fiscal year 2000. Accordingly, certain operating data including RevPAR, FFO, EBITDA and other financial measures presented herein will not be representative of our full year results. Additionally, our New York Marriott World Trade Center hotel was destroyed, while our New York Marriott Financial Center sustained damage and has been closed while the hotel is repaired. The surrounding area, Ground Zero, has been restricted from public access for an undetermined period of time. The impact of this damage has not been reflected in this financial information.

In this press release we present certain information regarding Comparative FFO and EBITDA (defined below) wherein Host Marriott Corporation ("Host REIT") and Host Marriott, L.P. ("Host LP") are separate entities with distinct reconciling items between them. Throughout this press release you will see references to Host LP, the operating partnership which owns all of our hotels. We own approximately 92% of Host LP as of September 7, 2001. When distinguishing between Host REIT and Host LP, the primary difference is the 8% ownership of Host LP by outside partners, which is reflected as minority interest in our balance sheet and minority interest expense in our income statement. We have included below a brief discussion of these entities and their relationship to one another. Readers are encouraged to find further detail regarding our corporate structure in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2000.

Host REIT operates as a self-managed and self-administered real estate investment trust with operations conducted solely through the operating partnership, Host LP. Partners holding operating partnership units-which we refer to as OP Units-other than Host REIT, have the right to exchange their OP Units for cash, or, at Host REIT's option, shares of Host REIT common stock. For purposes of determining diluted earnings per share, diluted Comparative FFO per share and EBITDA we consider all of the outstanding OP Units not held by Host REIT to have been exchanged for common stock.

Comparative FFO represents Funds From Operations, as defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, adjusted for contingent rental revenues and significant non-recurring items. We consider Comparative FFO and our consolidated earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, and other non-cash items (including contingent rental revenue) ("EBITDA") to be indicative measures of our operating performance due to the significance of our long-lived assets, and because such data is considered useful by the investment community to better understand our results, and can be used to measure our ability to service debt, fund capital expenditures and expand our business. However, such information should not be considered as an alternative to net income, operating profit, cash from operations, or any other operating or liquidity performance measure prescribed by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Cash expenditures for various long-term assets and income taxes have been, and will be incurred, which are not reflected in the Comparative FFO and EBITDA presentations. In addition, Comparative FFO and EBITDA as presented may not be comparable to amounts calculated by other companies.

(a) Our consolidated statements of operations have been prepared without

        audit.  Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included
        in financial statements presented in accordance with accounting
        principles generally accepted in the United States have been omitted.
        The unaudited consolidated statements of operations should be read in
        conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes
        thereto included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended
        December 31, 2000.

        As a result of acquiring certain leases from Crestline Capital
        Corporation, effective January 1, 2001, Host LP leases 116 of its
        full-service hotels to its taxable REIT subsidiary.  Subsequently, we
        acquired the leases of four additional hotels, which are included in
        our third quarter gross hotel sales and expenses.  Therefore, our
        consolidated results of operations for the thirty-six weeks ended
        September 7, 2001 represent the gross hotel sales and expenses from
        our properties rather than rental income from third party lessees that
        we previously reported as revenues.  No adjustment has been made to
        these financial statements to reflect the effect of the terrorist
        attack on September 11.

(b) The staff of the Securities & Exchange Commission issued Staff

        Accounting Bulletin 101 "Revenue Recognition" (SAB 101) in December
        1999.  SAB 101 discusses factors to consider in determining when
        contingent revenue should be recognized during interim periods.  As a
        result of the adoption of SAB 101, contingent rental income of $3
        million and $75 million, respectively, for the twelve weeks ended, and
        $18 million and $366 million, respectively, for the thirty-six weeks
        ended September 7, 2001 and September 8, 2000 was deferred because it
        is contingent upon achieving annual thresholds of hotel sales.  The
        deferral of contingent rent also caused a reduction in minority
        interest expense, which ultimately resulted in a minority interest
        benefit in 2000, reflecting the minority owners' share in the net
        loss.

(a) Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income

        (loss) adjusted for dividends on preferred stock and gain on
        repurchases of Convertible Preferred Securities by the weighted
        average number of shares of common stock outstanding.  Diluted
        earnings per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) adjusted
        for dividends on preferred stock, gain on repurchases of Convertible
        Preferred Securities, and potentially dilutive securities, by the
        weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding plus
        other potentially dilutive securities.  Dilutive securities may
        include shares granted under comprehensive stock plans and the
        Convertible Preferred Securities.  Dilutive securities also include
        those common and preferred OP Units issuable or outstanding that are
        held by minority partners which are assumed to be converted.

(b) In connection with the conversion to a REIT, we formed Host LP, whose

        OP Units are convertible to common stock, or cash at the option of
        Host REIT, based on certain conditions, including the passage of time.

(c) Includes those minority partners that have the option to convert their

        limited partnership interest or preferred OP Units to common OP Units.

(a) Results are adjusted to include contingent rent which is deferred

        under SAB 101.  This adjustment reflects revenues based on payment
        amounts calculated under our hotel leases.

(b) Host REIT holds approximately 92% and 78% of the outstanding OP Units

        of Host LP at September 7, 2001 and September 8, 2000, respectively.
        Comparative funds from operations of minority partners of Host LP
        represent the Comparative FFO attributable to the interests in Host LP
        held by the minority partners. For additional detail regarding the
        operating structure and OP Units, investors should read our annual
        report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2000.

(c) Comparative FFO per basic share is computed by dividing comparative

        funds from operations available to common shareholders by the weighted
        average number of shares of common stock outstanding.

(d) Diluted shares include a provision for the assumed conversion of the

        minority limited partners' interest and preferred OP Units in Host LP
        to our common shares. Additionally, the calculation includes shares
        from the assumed conversion of those minority partners of subsidiary
        partnerships of Host LP that have the option to convert their limited
        partnership interests to OP units and a corresponding conversion of
        those OP Units to common stock. Should the conversions of these
        minority interests occur, we would then receive the additional cash
        flow and the equity value from the acquired limited partnership
        interests.

(e) The thirty-six weeks ended September 7, 2001 results have been

        adjusted to reflect the non-recurring loss of $5 million and the
        related $2 million benefit for income taxes associated with the
        repurchase of an additional lease. Additionally, as the amortization
        of the tax benefit related to the lease repurchases in December 2000
        effectively reduces the current taxes paid, the twelve and thirty-six
        weeks ended September 7, 2001 results are adjusted to include the
        amortization of the tax benefit related to the lease repurchase.

(a) Comparative FFO per basic share is computed by dividing Comparative

        FFO available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of
        shares of common stock outstanding.  Comparative FFO per diluted share
        is computed by dividing Comparative FFO available to common
        shareholders, as adjusted for potentially dilutive securities, by the
        weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding plus
        other potentially dilutive securities.  Dilutive securities may
        include shares granted under comprehensive stock plans and the
        Convertible Preferred Securities.  Dilutive securities also includes
        those common and preferred OP Units issuable or outstanding that are
        held by minority partners which are assumed to be converted.

(b) In connection with our conversion to a REIT, we formed Host LP, whose

        OP Units are convertible to common stock, or cash, at the option of
        Host REIT, based on certain conditions, including the passage of time.

(c) Includes those minority partners that have the option to convert their

        limited partnership interest or preferred OP Units to common OP Units.
        Whether any of these actually occur depends on a number of conditions,
        including, in some cases, the passage of time.

(a) Due to the significant impact of the terrorist attacks of September

        11th on our operations and our stock price subsequent to the balance
        sheet date, the financial data reported here, which is based on
        historical information, may be significantly affected.

(b) Includes the number of shares of common stock outstanding plus shares

        granted under comprehensive stock plans and those common and preferred
        OP Units issuable or outstanding that are held by minority partners
        which potentially could be converted.  Excludes potential shares of
        30.9 million and 31.0 million in 2001 and 2000, respectively, from the
        potential conversion of Convertible Preferred Securities.

(c) Share prices are the closing price on the balance sheet date, as

        reported by the New York Stock Exchange for the common and preferred
        stock.  The shares of Convertible Preferred Securities are not traded
        on an exchange.  The per share price is the higher of the buy or sell
        price as provided by the trading desk for Goldman Sachs in New York,
        New York.

(d) Total enterprise value is calculated as the fair value of our debt,

        plus outstanding shares of our preferred stock, diluted common shares
        outstanding excluding Convertible Preferred Securities as computed in
        footnote (b), and the Convertible Preferred Securities multiplied by
        the closing stock prices on the balance sheet date.  Total enterprise
        value is based on a market price as of the balance sheet date and
        should not be deemed to represent the fair market value of the
        company.

(e) On March 19, 2001, June 18, 2001 and September 19, 2001, we declared

        quarterly dividends of $.26 per share. We declared total dividends of
        $.91 per share in 2000 which reflects an increase in the quarterly
        dividend per share during the third quarter to $.23 per share from
        $.21 per share in the first two quarters, and a further increase to
        $.26 per share for the fourth quarter.  The responsibility to declare
        dividends is the sole responsibility of our board of directors.

(f) The dividend yield ratio for 2000 is calculated using the fourth

        quarter dividend to common shareholders of $.26 per share, annualized,
        divided by the closing stock price for common shares as of December
        31, 2000.

(g) The Comparative FFO payout ratio has been calculated using year-to-

        date Comparative FFO available to common shareholders, per basic
        share.  The ratio would have been 48% for year end 2000, if it had
        been computed based on the fourth quarter 2000 dividend of $.26,
        annualized.

(h) 2001 and 2000 dividends reflect quarterly cash dividends of $.625 per

        share, or an annual dividend of $2.50 per share, for both Class A and
        Class B Preferred Stock. 2001 dividends reflect the pro rata dividend,
        based on the stated rate of 10% per annum on a liquidation value of
        $25 per share for the Class C Preferred Stock, from the date of
        issuance.  On an annualized basis, the Class C Preferred Stock will
        earn $2.50 per share.

(i) On September 18th, we borrowed an additional $250 million under the

        revolver portion of our bank credit facility.  This draw on the
        revolver, which is a variable rate loan based on LIBOR, affects the
        percentage of fixed rate debt by decreasing it from 96% to 92%.

(j) In June 2000, we renegotiated our bank credit facility, which allowed

        us to obtain more favorable terms.  As modified, the total line has
        been permanently reduced from $1.025 billion to $775 million,
        consisting of a $150 million term loan and a $625 million revolver.
        In addition, the original term was extended for two additional years,
        through August 2003.  On June 28, 2001 and September 18, 2001, we
        borrowed an additional $60 million and $250 million, respectively,
        under the revolver portion of the loan, reducing the available
        capacity under the line of credit to $315 million.

(k) These coverage ratios have been calculated using EBITDA of Host LP.

       These ratios are intended to provide an investor with an understanding
       of our ability to make interest and principal payments on our current
       debt structure.  The financial ratios are not calculated in the same
       manner as required by the indentures for the senior notes and the line
       of credit.  Calculation of these ratios consistent with those
       indentures would require, among other items, presentation of certain
       pro forma financial information which has not been provided.

(l) Cash interest is calculated as interest expense under accounting

        principles generally accepted in the United States, less amortization
        of deferred costs and other non-cash interest expense, plus
        capitalized interest.

(a) The schedules of property-level results represent the unaudited

        results of operations of our 117 comparable properties without
        consideration of whether these properties are leased to outside
        parties.  In connection with the REIT conversion substantially all of
        these properties were leased to Crestline Capital Corporation through
        December 31, 2000. Hotel operators conduct the day to day management
        of the hotels pursuant to management agreements. Additionally, the
        sales and expenses are not subject to our system of internal
        accounting controls. We have presented this information because we
        feel that it may be useful to investors in determining the unleveraged
        economic value of our properties. However, this should not be deemed
        to be a method for the calculation of the market value of either Host
        REIT or the hotel properties.  It also does not represent the value at
        which we could sell the properties on the open market. Additionally,
        our management and lease agreements restrict our ability to sell
        properties without incurring significant fees for termination of these
        agreements.

(b) Comparable properties consist of the 117 properties owned, directly or

        indirectly by us for the same period of time in each period covered,
        excluding two properties where significant expansion at the hotels
        affected operations, one property that sustained substantial fire
        damage in the fourth quarter of 2000, the Tampa Waterside Marriott
        which opened in February, 2000, three full-service properties that we
        now consolidate as a result of our acquisition during April 2001 of
        the voting interests in a previously non-controlled subsidiary and one
        property that suffered catastrophic damage as a result of the
        September 11, 2001 terrorist acts.

(c) Hotel sales and expenses represent the unaudited comparable gross

        hotel results, which includes room, food and beverage and other hotel
        revenues and expenses generated by the properties. Gross hotel sales
        and expenses are presented here to provide a means of comparison of
        property-level results which investors may find useful. However, these
        gross sales and expenses do not represent our reported results of
        operations for the twelve and thirty-six weeks ended September 8,
        2000.  Our rental income under each lease, which represented results
        of operation for first, second and third quarters 2000 as well as for
        five hotels in first and second quarters 2001 and two hotels in third
        quarter 2001, is the greater of base or percentage rent as defined in
        the lease agreements.  Percentage rent applicable to room, food and
        beverage, and other types of hotel revenue varies by lease and is
        calculated by multiplying fixed percentages by the total amount of
        such revenues over specified threshold amounts. Both the minimum rents
        and the revenue thresholds used in computing percentage rents are
        subject to annual adjustments based on increases in the United States
        Consumer Price Index and the Labor Index, as defined in the lease
        agreements.

(d) As stated above, these results represent comparable property-level

        results and are not the revenues or operating profit of Host REIT for
        all periods presented.  Further, certain significant cost items
        normally recorded under accounting principles generally accepted in
        the United States including interest expense, lease payments,
        depreciation and amortization have not been included in the
        calculation of property-level profit. Additionally, the property-level
        profit does not reflect our EBITDA reported herein or that of our
        lessee.
