Gaylord Entertainment Co.
Reports Third Quarter 2007 Earnings |
NASHVILLE, Tenn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 1, 2007--Gaylord Entertainment Co. (NYSE: GET) today reported its financial results for the third quarter of 2007.
For the third quarter ended September 30, 2007:
-- Consolidated revenue increased 1.9 percent to $166.9 million
in the third quarter of 2007 from $163.8 million in the same
period last year, primarily driven by increases in customer
spending at the Gaylord Texan.
-- Income from continuing operations was $2.2 million, or $0.05
per share, compared to loss from continuing operations of $1.1
million, or $0.03 per share, in the prior-year quarter.
-- Hospitality segment total revenue increased 3.0 percent to
$146.5 million in the third quarter of 2007 compared to $142.3
million in the prior-year quarter. Gaylord Hotels' revenue per
available room(1) ("RevPAR") and total revenue per available
room(2) ("Total RevPAR") increased 0.9 percent and 4.1
percent, respectively, compared to the third quarter of 2006.
-- Adjusted EBITDA(3) was $21.6 million in the third quarter of
2007 compared to $17.8 million in the prior-year quarter.
-- Consolidated Cash Flow(4) ("CCF") increased 14.5 percent to
$29.1 million in the third quarter of 2007 compared to $25.4
million in the same period last year.
"Gaylord Hotels' performance in the third quarter reflects solid increases in average daily rate and profitability. In the quarter we had a few groups that brought fewer customers than expected," said Colin V. Reed, chairman and chief executive officer of Gaylord Entertainment. "Despite the lower business volumes, our unique business model provides opportunities for us to mitigate the impact to profitability of a short-term reduction in occupancy through our contractual agreements with customers and outside-the-room spend. As a result, the hotel segment delivered more than 13 percent growth in CCF for the quarter."
"We do not believe the experience we had in the third quarter reflects a systematic slowdown in group activity. To the contrary, our leading indicators such as our advanced bookings continue to be very strong and we remain bullish on the rest of the year and 2008."
"We also continue to make excellent progress on extending and expanding the Gaylord brand, capitalizing on the impressive demand we continue to see across our network. During the quarter, we continued our rooms renovation program at Gaylord Opryland, opened three new restaurants at our Nashville property and received approval from the City of Grapevine to proceed with plans to expand Gaylord Texan, which will add more than 500 guestrooms, additional convention space and other leisure amenities. Additionally, the City of Nashville signed legislation paving the way for our planned $400 million expansion at Gaylord Opryland, which is slated to begin in 2008. We are confident that these investments will not only yield additional convention customer growth, but transient and leisure customer growth as well."
Segment Operating Results
Hospitality
Key components of the Company's hospitality segment performance in the third quarter of 2007 include:
-- Gaylord Hotels' RevPAR increased 0.9 percent to $111.99
compared to $110.99 in the prior-year quarter. Gaylord Hotels'
Total RevPAR increased 4.1 percent to $268.28 compared to
$257.62 in third quarter of 2006, reflecting continued
strength of outside-the-room offerings.
-- Gaylord Hotels' CCF increased 13.4 percent to $34.2 million in
the third quarter of 2007 compared to $30.2 million in the
same period last year. CCF margins for the hospitality segment
increased 220 basis points to 23.4 percent, compared to 21.2
percent in the prior-year quarter, driven by improved cost
controls and flow-through.
-- Gaylord Hotels' same-store net definite bookings for all
future years, excluding Gaylord National, increased 28.6
percent to 283,466 room nights booked in the third quarter of
2007 compared to the same period in 2006, bringing the total
for the year to 1,017,872 room nights.
-- Gaylord National booked an additional 68,505 room nights in
the third quarter of 2007, bringing National's cumulative net
definite room nights booked to approximately 1.1 million room
nights.
"Our hospitality properties continue to generate solid growth this quarter, posting a CCF improvement of more than 13 percent and underscoring our ability to attract high-value customers while maintaining a disciplined approach to managing costs. Total RevPAR recorded meaningful growth this quarter, underscoring the popularity of our leisure and entertainment offerings and our ability to drive increases in consumption. Of note, Gaylord Texan posted a particularly good quarter, with an ADR increase of more than five percent and a Total RevPAR increase of approximately 16 percent, driven in part by the continuing success of the Glass Cactus nightclub. Looking forward, our advance bookings in the quarter and year to date are at record levels for our brand," said Reed.
At the property level, Gaylord Opryland generated revenue of $64.1 million in the third quarter of 2007, a 1.5 percent decrease compared to the prior-year quarter, largely as a result of declines in group occupancy and a reduction in transient guests over the two holiday weekends that occurred in the third quarter. RevPAR decreased 2.1 percent to $112.18 compared to $114.53 in the same period last year. Total RevPAR increased 0.8 percent to $256.52 in the third quarter of 2007 compared to the prior-year quarter as a result of greater outside-the-room spending. CCF decreased to $15.0 million, versus $15.4 million in the year-ago quarter, driven by lower occupancy rates, resulting in a CCF margin of 23.4 percent, a 30 basis point decrease versus the prior-year quarter. Third quarter 2007 operating statistics reflect 15,131 room nights out of available inventory due to the Opryland room renovation.
Gaylord Palms posted revenue of $36.6 million in the third quarter of 2007, a decrease of 2.3 percent compared to $37.5 million in the prior-year quarter. Gaylord Palms experienced flat occupancy in the third quarter of 2007 compared to the prior-year quarter, which was partially offset by a 0.8 percent increase in ADR compared to the prior-year quarter. RevPAR increased 0.9 percent to $112.82 compared to $111.86 in the same period last year and Total RevPAR decreased by 2.3 percent to $283.19. CCF increased to $7.9 million compared to $7.4 million in the prior-year quarter, resulting in a CCF margin of 21.5 percent, a 170 basis point increase from the prior-year quarter.
Gaylord Texan revenue increased 16.0 percent to $43.5 million in the third quarter of 2007, compared to $37.5 million in the prior-year quarter. RevPAR in the third quarter increased 5.4 percent to $119.52, driven by a 5.2 percentage point increase in ADR. Total RevPAR increased 16.0 percent to $313.26, driven by strong outside-the-room spending and a higher portion of guest nights represented by high-value corporate groups. CCF increased 56.5 percent to $10.7 million in the third quarter of 2007, versus $6.8 million in the prior year, resulting in a 24.6 percent CCF margin, a 640 basis point increase to the prior-year quarter.
Development Update
Progress continues to be made on the 2,000-room Gaylord National in Prince George's County, which is scheduled to open April 1, 2008. The company spent an additional $142.2 million in the third quarter of 2007, bringing total capital expenditures for the hotel to $630.3 million.
Gaylord National's bookings continue to increase with an additional 68,505 room nights booked in the third quarter, bringing the cumulative number of net definite room nights for the property to approximately 1.1 million.
"Gaylord National remains on-track to open in April 2008 and its continued solid growth in advance bookings reflects the success of the Gaylord model and strength of our relationships with meeting planners and high-value corporate guests. We will further capitalize on this strength through the on-going expansion at Opryland and planned expansion at the Texan," said Reed. "This quarter we received approval for an incentive from the City of Grapevine to proceed with plans to add guest rooms, leisure amenities and meeting space at the Texan, and we continue to make progress on the expansion at Opryland."
The Company continues discussions with the Unified Port of San Diego and the City of Chula Vista and will provide an update on progress as appropriate.
Reed continued, "We are actively exploring new opportunities to expand distribution of the Gaylord brand consistent with our profile and in a manner that will provide attractive returns to our shareholders."
Opry and Attractions
Opry and Attractions segment revenue decreased 5.2 percent to $20.3 million in the third quarter of 2007, compared to $21.5 million in the year-ago quarter. The segment's CCF decreased 6.1 percent to $4.3 million in the third quarter of 2007 from $4.6 million in the prior-year quarter.
Corporate and Other
Corporate and Other operating loss totaled $12.5 million in the third quarter of 2007 compared to an operating loss of $13.6 million in the same period last year. Corporate and Other CCF in the third quarter of 2007 decreased 1.0 percent to a loss of $9.5 million compared to a loss of $9.4 million in the same period last year.
Liquidity
As of September 30, 2007, the Company had long-term debt outstanding, including current portion, of $880.8 million and unrestricted and restricted cash of $39.8 million. $687.2 million of the Company's $1.0 billion credit facility remains undrawn at the end of the third quarter of 2007, which includes $12.8 million in letters of credit.
Outlook
The following outlook is based on current information as of November 1, 2007. The Company does not expect to update guidance until next quarter's earnings release. However, the Company may update its full business outlook or any portion thereof at any time for any reason.
"Our strong profitability this quarter and year to date, along with our record booking pace and customer satisfaction scores, indicate that our unique business model and strong relationships with meeting planners continue to produce solid bottom-line results," said Reed. "As such we are reiterating our full-year 2007 CCF and Advance Booking guidance."
"However, due to the impact of certain convention groups not realizing their total agreed upon room nights and our concern over transient activity in the fourth quarter, we are reducing our full-year 2007 RevPAR guidance from growth of five percent to seven percent to a projected increase of four percent to six percent. Consequently we are also reducing Total RevPAR guidance for 2007 from growth of six percent to eight percent to an increase of five percent to seven percent."

Gaylord's 2007 outlook reflects approximately 48,000 room nights out of service due to the room renovation at the Gaylord Opryland.
"Our accomplishments in 2007 serve as a firm foundation for what we believe will be strong growth in 2008 and beyond. We are pleased with the momentum Gaylord has going into next year and are looking to find additional ways to capitalize on the strong demand we continue to see from convention customers, meeting planners, and increasingly, from leisure customers," said Reed. "The anticipated opening of Gaylord National in April means 2008 will include three quarters of contribution from this property, plus the full benefit of completed room renovations at Opryland, resulting in what we fully expect to be a strengthened brand and year that produces significant growth in income. In addition, we expect to complete the detailed plans on our two announced expansions and break ground by year-end 2008."
"As we look to 2008, we have a record number of advance bookings and we are excited about the prospects for the National. Our enthusiasm over Gaylord Hotels' 2008 prospects has not waned since our investor day in April. In fact, as we look to 2008, we will be investing more in our development team than we had previously anticipated in order to rapidly turn the momentum we've built into unit growth for the brand."

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, 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, 2006. 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.
(1) The Company calculates revenue per available room ("RevPAR") for its hospitality segment by dividing room sales by room nights available to guests for the period.
(2) The 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 the effect of the changes in fair value of the Viacom and CBS stock and changes in the fair value of the derivative associated with the secured forward exchange contract prior to the maturity of the secured forward exchange contract in May 2007 and gains on the sale of assets. In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, the changes in fair value of the Viacom and CBS stock and derivatives 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.
(4) As 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% and 6.75% senior notes) is a non-GAAP financial measure which also excludes the impact of pre-opening costs, 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 our investment in Bass Pro, and adds (subtracts) other gains (losses), and dividends received from our investments in unconsolidated companies. 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.
