At June 30, 2016, the available security deposit from Marriott for the Marriott No. 234 agreement was $13.2 million and there was $30.7 million remaining under Marriott’s guaranty for up to 90% of the minimum returns due to HPT to cover future payment shortfalls after the available security deposit is depleted. HPT’s Marriott No. 5 agreement includes one resort hotel in Kauai, HI which is leased to Marriott on a full recourse basis.

During the three months ended June 30, 2016, the guarantee was replenished by $2.2 million from a share of hotel cash flows that were in excess of the minimum returns due to HPT. HPT also leases 48 vacation units in one of the hotels to Wyndham Vacation Resorts, Inc., a subsidiary of Wyndham, which requires annual minimum rent of $1.4 million (approximately $0.4 million per quarter). The guarantee provided by Wyndham with respect to the lease is unlimited.
  • Other Hotel Agreements: As of June 30, 2016, HPT’s remaining 67 hotels are operated under four agreements: one management agreement with Sonesta (33 hotels), requiring annual minimum returns of $85.2 million as of June 30, 2016 (approximately $21.3 million per quarter); one management agreement with a subsidiary of Hyatt Hotels Corporation (NYSE: H), or Hyatt (22 hotels), requiring annual minimum returns of $22.0 million as of June 30, 2016 (approximately $5.5 million per quarter); one management agreement with a subsidiary of Carlson Hotels Worldwide, or Carlson (11 hotels), requiring annual minimum returns of $12.9 million as of June 30, 2016 (approximately $3.2 million per quarter); and one lease with a subsidiary of Morgans Hotel Group Co.

ACTUAL RESULTS MAY DIFFER MATERIALLY FROM THOSE CONTAINED IN OR IMPLIED BY HPT’S FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS AS A RESULT OF VARIOUS FACTORS. FOR EXAMPLE:

  • AS OF JUNE 30, 2016, APPROXIMATELY 79% OF HPT’S AGGREGATE ANNUAL MINIMUM RETURNS AND RENTS WERE SECURED BY GUARANTEES OR SECURITY DEPOSITS FROM HPT’S MANAGERS AND TENANTS.

(1) At June 30, 2016, HPT owned 305 hotels; 302 of these hotels are managed by hotel operating companies and three hotels are leased to hotel operating companies. At June 30, 2016, HPT also owned 197 travel centers; all 197 of these travel centers are leased to a travel center operating company under five lease agreements. HPT’s condensed consolidated statements of income include hotel operating revenues and expenses of managed hotels and rental income from its leased hotels and travel centers. Net operating results of HPT’s managed hotel portfolios exceeded the minimum returns due to HPT in both the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015. Certain of HPT’s managed hotel portfolios had net operating results that were, in the aggregate, $11,544 and $11,443 less than the minimum returns due to HPT in the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. When the managers of these hotels fund the shortfalls under the terms of HPT’s operating agreements or their guarantees, HPT reflects such fundings (including security deposit applications) in its condensed consolidated statements of income as a reduction of hotel operating expenses. There was no reduction to hotel operating expenses in the three months ended June 30, 2016 or 2015 and reductions of $1,766 and $1,903 in the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, as a result of such fundings. HPT had shortfalls at certain of its managed hotel portfolios not funded by the managers of these hotels under the terms of its operating agreements of $9,778 and $9,540 in the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, which represent the unguaranteed portions of HPT’s minimum returns from Sonesta. Certain of HPT’s managed hotel portfolios had net operating results that were, in the aggregate, $43,440 and $35,902 more than the minimum returns due to HPT in the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and $46,918 and $37,611 more than the minimum returns due to HPT in the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Certain of HPT’s guarantees and HPT’s security deposits may be replenished by future cash flows from the applicable hotel operations pursuant to the terms of the respective operating agreements. When HPT’s guarantees and its security deposits are replenished by cash flows from hotel operations, HPT reflects such replenishments in its condensed consolidated statements of income as an increase to hotel operating expenses. Hotel operating expenses were increased by $20,057 and $14,976 in the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and $19,968 and $16,189 in the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, as a result of such replenishments.

(2) Rental income includes $3,693 and $1,511 in the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and $7,445 and $2,056 in the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, of adjustments necessary to record scheduled rent increases under certain of HPT’s leases, the deferred rent obligations under HPT’s travel center leases and the estimated future payments to HPT under its travel center leases for the cost of removing underground storage tanks on a straight line basis. In calculating net income in accordance with GAAP, HPT generally recognizes 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. Rental income for the second quarter of 2015 includes $2,048 of percentage rent recorded as a result of HPT’s lease modifications with TA because the amount was no longer contingent.

(3) Various percentages of total sales at certain of HPT’s hotels are escrowed as reserves for future renovations or refurbishment, or FF&E reserve escrows. HPT owns all the FF&E reserve escrows for its hotels. HPT reports deposits by its tenants into the escrow accounts under its three hotel leases as FF&E reserve income. HPT does not report the amounts which are escrowed as FF&E reserves for its managed hotels as FF&E reserve income.

(4) Incentive fees under HPT’s business management agreement are payable after the end of each calendar year, are calculated based on common share total return, as defined, and are included in general and administrative expense in HPT’s condensed consolidated statements of income. In calculating net income in accordance with GAAP, HPT recognizes estimated business management incentive fee expense, if any, each quarter. Although HPT recognizes this expense, if any, each quarter for purposes of calculating net income, HPT does not include these amounts in the calculation of Normalized FFO available for common shareholders or Adjusted EBITDA until the fourth quarter, which is when the actual incentive fee expense amount for the year, if any, is determined. HPT recorded $25,920 and reversed $205 of estimated business management incentive fees during the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. HPT recorded $31,236 and $8,822 of estimated business management incentive fees during the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

HPT recorded a liability for the amount by which the estimated fair value for accounting purposes exceeded the price HPT paid for its investment in RMR common stock in June 2015. A portion of this liability is being amortized on a straight line basis through December 31, 2035, as a reduction to business management fees, which are included in general and administrative expense. General and administrative expense was reduced by $896 and $231 during the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and by $1,793 and $231 during the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, as a result of this amortization.

(5) Represents costs associated with HPT’s acquisition activities.

(6) HPT recorded a $70 loss on early extinguishment of debt in the first quarter of 2016 in connection with the redemption of certain senior unsecured notes.

(7) HPT recorded an $11,015 gain on sale of real estate in the second quarter of 2015 in connection with the sale of five travel centers.

(8) HPT calculates FFO available for common shareholders and Normalized FFO available for common shareholders as shown above. FFO available for common shareholders is calculated on the basis defined by The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT, which is net income available for common shareholders calculated in accordance with GAAP, excluding any gain or loss on sale of properties and loss on impairment of real estate assets, plus real estate depreciation and amortization, as well as certain other adjustments currently not applicable to HPT. HPT’s calculation of Normalized FFO available for common shareholders differs from NAREIT’s definition of FFO available for common shareholders because HPT includes business management incentive fees, if any, only in the fourth quarter versus the quarter when they are recognized as expense in accordance with GAAP due to their quarterly volatility not necessarily being indicative of HPT’s core operating performance and the uncertainty as to whether any such business management incentive fees will ultimately be payable when all contingencies for determining any such fees are determined at the end of the calendar year and HPT excludes acquisition related costs and loss on early extinguishment of debt. HPT considers FFO available for common shareholders and Normalized FFO available for common shareholders to be appropriate supplemental 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. HPT believes that FFO available for common shareholders and Normalized FFO available for common shareholders provide useful information to investors because by excluding the effects of certain historical amounts, such as depreciation expense, FFO available for common shareholders and Normalized FFO available for common shareholders may facilitate a comparison of HPT’s operating performance between periods and with other REITs. FFO available for common shareholders and Normalized FFO available for common shareholders are among the factors considered by HPT’s Board of Trustees when determining the amount of distributions to shareholders. Other factors include, but are not limited to, requirements to maintain HPT’s qualification for taxation as a REIT, limitations in its unsecured revolving credit facility and unsecured term loan agreement and public debt covenants, the availability to HPT of debt and equity capital, HPT’s expectation of its future capital requirements and operating performance and HPT’s expected needs for and availability of cash to pay its obligations. FFO available for common shareholders and Normalized FFO available for common shareholders 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 for common shareholders or operating income as an indicator of HPT’s operating performance or as a measure of HPT’s liquidity. These measures should be considered in conjunction with net income, net income available for common shareholders, operating income and cash flow from operating activities as presented in HPT’s condensed consolidated statements of income and condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. Other real estate companies and REITs may calculate FFO available for common shareholders and Normalized FFO available for common shareholders differently than HPT does. Effective with the quarter ended June 30, 2016, HPT has changed its calculation of Normalized FFO to no longer include adjustments for estimated percentage rent. Historically, when calculating Normalized FFO, HPT estimated an amount of percentage rental income for each of the first three quarters of the year and then, in the fourth quarter, excluded the amounts that had been included in the first three quarters. In calculating net income in accordance with GAAP, HPT recognizes percentage rental income for the full year in the fourth quarter, which is when all contingencies are met and the income is earned. Normalized FFO for historical periods has been restated to be comparable with the current period calculation.

(9) HPT calculates EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as shown above. HPT considers EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to be appropriate supplemental measures of its operating performance, along with net income, net income available for common shareholders, operating income and cash flow from operating activities. HPT believes that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA provide useful information to investors because by excluding the effects of certain historical amounts, such as interest, depreciation and amortization expense, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may facilitate a comparison of current operating performance with HPT’s past operating performance. In calculating Adjusted EBITDA, HPT includes business management incentive fees only in the fourth quarter versus the quarter when they are recognized as expense in accordance with GAAP due to their quarterly volatility not necessarily being indicative of HPT’s core operating performance and the uncertainty as to whether any such business management incentive fees will ultimately be payable when all contingencies for determining any such fees are determined at the end of the calendar year. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not represent cash generated by operating activities in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered an alternative to net income, net income available for common shareholders or operating income as an indicator of operating performance or as a measure of HPT’s liquidity. These measures should be considered in conjunction with net income, net income available for common shareholders, operating income and cash flow from operating activities as presented in HPT’s condensed consolidated statements of income and condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. Other real estate companies and REITs may calculate EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA differently than HPT does. Effective with the quarter ended June 30, 2016, HPT has changed its calculation of Adjusted EBITDA to no longer include adjustments for estimated percentage rent. Historically, when calculating Adjusted EBITDA, HPT estimated an amount of percentage rental income for each of the first three quarters of the year and then, in the fourth quarter, excluded the amounts that had been included in the first three quarters. In calculating net income in accordance with GAAP, HPT recognizes percentage rental income for the full year in the fourth quarter, which is when all contingencies are met and the income is earned. Adjusted EBITDA for historical periods has been restated to be comparable with the current period calculation.

(10) Amounts represent the portion of business management fees that were payable in HPT’s common shares as well as equity based compensation for HPT’s trustees, its officers and certain other employees of HPT’s manager. Beginning June 1, 2015, all business management fees are paid in cash.
