During the quarter ended December 31, 2013, HPT had 25 comparable hotels under renovation for all or part of the quarter. For the quarter ended December 31, 2013 compared to the same period in 2012 for HPT's 262 comparable hotels not under renovation: ADR increased 2.1% to $104.91; occupancy increased 4.4 percentage points to 70.1%; and RevPAR increased 8.9% to $73.54.

Tenants and Managers:

As of December 31, 2013, HPT had nine operating agreements with seven hotel operating companies for 291 hotels with 43,976 rooms which represent 67% of HPT's annual minimum returns and rents.

  • During the three months ended December 31, 2013, 122 hotels owned by HPT were operated by subsidiaries of Marriott International, Inc. (NASDAQ: MAR), or Marriott, under three contracts. Marriott contract No. 1 includes 53 hotels and provides for annual minimum return payments to HPT of up to $67.5 million (approximately $16.9 million per quarter). Because there is no guarantee or security deposit for this contract, the minimum returns HPT receives under this contract are limited to available hotel cash flow after payment of operating expenses. During the three months ended December 31, 2013, HPT realized returns under its Marriott contract No. 1 of $16.9 million. Marriott contract No. 234 includes 68 hotels and requires annual minimum returns to HPT of $105.8 million (approximately $26.5 million per quarter). During the three months ended December 31, 2013, HPT realized returns under its Marriott contract No. 234 of $21.5 million. Marriott was not required to make any guaranty payments to HPT during the period because the hotels under the Marriott contract No. 234 generated cash flows in excess of the guaranty threshold amount on a cumulative basis for the year ended December 31, 2013. At December 31, 2013, there was $30.7 million remaining under Marriott's guaranty under contract No. 234 to cover future payment shortfalls for up to 90% of the minimum returns due to HPT. Marriott contract No. 5 includes one resort hotel in Kauai, HI which is leased to Marriott on a full recourse basis. The contractual rent due HPT for this hotel for the three months ended December 31, 2013 of $2.5 million was paid to HPT.
  • During the three months ended December 31, 2013, HPT was paid the contractual amounts due under its management contract with subsidiaries of InterContinental Hotels Group, plc (LON: IHG; NYSE: IHG (ADRs)), or InterContinental, including 91 hotels and requiring minimum returns to HPT of $139.5 million per year (approximately $34.9 million per quarter). At December 31, 2013, the available security deposit which HPT held to cover future payment shortfalls was $27.8 million.
  • As of December 31, 2013, HPT's remaining 78 hotels are operated under five contracts: one management agreement with Sonesta International Hotels Corporation, or Sonesta (22 hotels); one management contract with a subsidiary of Wyndham Worldwide Corporation (NYSE: WYN), or Wyndham (22 hotels); one management contract with a subsidiary of Hyatt Hotels Corporation (NYSE: H), or Hyatt (22 hotels); one management contract with a subsidiary of Carlson Hotels Worldwide, or Carlson (11 hotels); and one lease with a subsidiary of Morgans Hotel Group Co. (NASDAQ: MHGC) (1 hotel). Minimum returns and rents due HPT are partially guaranteed under the Wyndham, Hyatt and Carlson contracts. The payments due HPT under these contracts for the three months ended December 31, 2013 were paid to HPT.
  • For the three months ended December 31, 2013, the aggregate coverage ratio of (x) total hotel cash flow available to pay HPT's minimum returns and rents due from hotels to (y) HPT's minimum returns and rents due from hotels was 0.75x (0.08x to 0.95x). As of December 31, 2013, approximately 71% of HPT's aggregate annual minimum returns and rents from its hotels were secured by guarantees and security deposits from HPT's managers and tenants pursuant to the terms of the hotel operating agreements.

As of December 31, 2013, HPT had two leases with TravelCenters of America LLC (NYSE: TA), or TA, for 185 travel centers located along the U.S. Interstate Highway system which represent 33% of HPT's total annual minimum returns and rents. As of December 31, 2013, all payments due to HPT from TA under these leases were current. For the three months ended September 30, 2013, the aggregate coverage ratio of (x) total cash flow at the leased travel centers available to pay HPT's minimum rent due from TA to (y) HPT's minimum rent due from TA was 1.76x. Data for the three months ended December 31, 2013 is currently not available from TA.

Recent Investment and Disposition Activities:

In January 2014, HPT entered an agreement to sell its Sonesta ES Suites hotel in Myrtle Beach, SC with a net book value of $4.0 million at December 31, 2013, for $4.9 million, excluding closing costs. HPT currently expects to complete this sale in the second quarter of 2014.

In September 2013, HPT entered an agreement to acquire a 223 room full service hotel located in Orlando, FL for $21.0 million, excluding closing costs. HPT plans to convert this hotel to a "Sonesta" brand hotel and add it to its management contract with Sonesta, that currently covers 22 hotels.

Recent Financing Activities:

In November 2013, HPT issued 9,775,000 common shares in a public offering at a price of $28.00 per share and raised net proceeds of approximately $261.7 million (after deducting offering expenses and underwriters' discounts). The net proceeds from this offering were used to repay amounts outstanding under HPT's revolving credit facility and for general business purposes.

In January 2014, HPT entered into an amended and restated credit agreement for $1.15 billion, which included its existing $750 million unsecured revolving credit facility and existing $400 million unsecured term loan.

  • Under the amendment, the maturity date of HPT's $750 million unsecured revolving credit facility was extended from September 7, 2015 to July 15, 2018. The interest rate paid on borrowings under the revolving credit facility agreement was reduced from LIBOR plus a premium of 130 basis points to LIBOR plus a premium of 110 basis points, and the facility fee was reduced from 30 basis points to 20 basis points per annum on the total amount of lending commitments. Both the interest rate premium and facility fee are subject to adjustment based upon changes to HPT's credit ratings. Subject to meeting certain conditions and payment of a fee, HPT may extend the maturity date to July 15, 2019.
  • Under the amendment, the maturity date of HPT's $400 million term loan was extended from March 13, 2017 to April 15, 2019. The interest paid on borrowings under the term loan was reduced from LIBOR plus 145 basis points to LIBOR plus 120 basis points. The interest rate premium is subject to adjustments based on changes to HPT's credit ratings. HPT may prepay the term loan without penalty at any time.

In February 2014, HPT redeemed at par plus accrued interest all of its 7.875% Senior Notes due 2014 ($311.8 million in total).

(1) At December 31, 2013, HPT owned 291 hotels; 288 of these hotels are leased by HPT to its TRSs and managed by hotel operating companies and three hotels are leased to hotel operating companies. At December 31, 2013, HPT also owned 184 travel centers and leased one travel center from a third party through August 31, 2014; all 185 of these travel centers are leased to a travel center operating company under two lease agreements. HPT's Consolidated Statements of Income include hotel operating revenues and expenses of managed hotels and rental income from its leased hotels and travel centers. Certain of HPT's managed hotels had net operating results that were, in the aggregate, $24,748 and $30,282, less than the minimum returns due to HPT in the three months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $65,623 and $76,978 less than the minimum returns due to HPT in the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, 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 Consolidated Statements of Income as a reduction of hotel operating expenses. The reduction to hotel operating expenses was $10,313 and $15,903 in the three months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $19,311 and $46,386 in the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. 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 $14,435 and $14,379 in the three months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $46,312 and $30,592 in the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, which represent the unguaranteed portions of HPT's minimum returns from Marriott and from Sonesta.

(2) In calculating net income in accordance with GAAP, HPT 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. Although HPT defers recognition of this revenue until the fourth quarter for purposes of calculating net income, HPT includes estimates of these amounts in the calculation of Normalized FFO for each quarter of the year. The fourth quarter Normalized FFO calculation excludes the amounts recognized during the first three quarters. Percentage rental income included in Normalized FFO was $356 and $857 in the fourth quarter of 2013 and 2012, respectively.

(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 third party tenants into the escrow accounts 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. HPT reversed $1,339, or $0.01 per share, of FF&E reserve income in the fourth quarter of 2013 in connection with an amendment to HPT's Marriott contract No. 5 that provided unspent renovation funds previously advanced by HPT under the agreement would be used to offset a portion of Marriott's 2013 FF&E reserve contribution requirement under the Marriott contract No. 5.

(4) Represents costs associated with HPT's hotel acquisition activities.

(5) HPT recorded a $5,837, or $0.04 per share, loss on asset impairment in the third quarter of 2013 in connection with an eminent domain taking of a travel center. HPT recorded a $2,171, or $0.02 per share, loss on asset impairment in the second quarter of 2013 in connection with its plan to sell a hotel. HPT recorded a $7,658, or $0.06 per share, loss on asset impairment in the fourth quarter of 2012 to write off the carrying value of goodwill. HPT recorded an $889, or $0.01 per share, loss on asset impairment in the first quarter of 2012 in connection with its decision to remove certain hotels from held for sale status.

(6) HPT recorded a $10,602, or $0.09 per share, gain on sale of real estate in the year ended December 31, 2012 in connection with the sale of three hotels.

(7) HPT recorded a $6,868, or $0.05 per share, income tax benefit in the year ended December 31, 2013 in connection with the restructuring of certain of its TRSs.

(8) On July 1, 2013, HPT redeemed all of its outstanding Series C Preferred Shares at their liquidation preference of $25 per share, plus accumulated and unpaid distributions. The liquidation preference of the redeemed shares exceeded the carrying amount for the redeemed shares as of the date of redemption by $5,627, or $0.04 per share, and HPT reduced net income available to common shareholders in the third quarter of 2013 by that excess amount. On February 13, 2012, HPT redeemed all of its outstanding Series B Preferred Shares at their liquidation preference of $25 per share, plus accumulated and unpaid distributions. The liquidation preference of the redeemed shares exceeded the carrying amount for the redeemed shares as of the date of redemption by $2,944, or $0.02 per share, and HPT reduced net income available to common shareholders in the first quarter of 2012 by that excess amount. On September 10, 2012, HPT redeemed 6,000,000 of its Series C Preferred Shares at their liquidation preference of $25 per share, plus accumulated and unpaid distributions. The liquidation preference of the redeemed shares exceeded the carrying amount for the redeemed shares as of the date of redemption by $5,040, or $0.02 per share, and HPT reduced net income available to common shareholders for the third quarter of 2012 by that excess amount.

(9) HPT 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, 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 these calculations. HPT's calculation of Normalized FFO differs from NAREIT's definition of FFO because it includes estimated percentage rent in the period to which it estimates that it relates rather than when it is recognized as income in accordance with GAAP and excludes the excess of liquidation preference over carrying value of preferred shares redeemed, acquisition related costs, loss on impairment of intangible assets and the deferred income tax benefit described above. HPT considers FFO and Normalized FFO to be appropriate 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 and Normalized FFO provide useful information to investors because by excluding the effects of certain historical amounts, such as depreciation expense, FFO and Normalized FFO may facilitate a comparison of HPT's operating performance between periods with other REITs. FFO and Normalized FFO are among the factors considered by HPT's Board of Trustees when determining the amount of distributions to its shareholders. Other factors include, but are not limited to, requirements to maintain HPT's status as a REIT, limitations in its revolving credit facility and term loan agreements and public debt covenants, the availability of debt and equity capital, HPT's expectation of its future capital requirements and operating performance, and its expected needs and availability of cash to pay its obligations. FFO and Normalized FFO do not represent cash generated by operating activities in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to net income, operating income, net income available for common shareholders or cash flow from operating activities, determined in accordance with GAAP, or as indicators of HPT's financial performance or liquidity, nor are these measures necessarily indicative of sufficient cash flow to fund all of HPT's needs. These measures should be considered in conjunction with net income, operating income, net income available for common shareholders and cash flow from operating activities as presented in HPT's Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income and Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Other REITs and real estate companies may calculate FFO and Normalized FFO differently than HPT does.
