Gaylord Entertainment Co. Reports Second Quarter 2008
Results |
NASHVILLE, Tenn., August 5, 2008 -
Gaylord Entertainment Co. (NYSE: GET) today reported its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2008.
For the second quarter ended June 30, 2008:
Consolidated revenue increased 36.4 percent to $258.3 million in the second quarter of 2008 from $189.4 million in the same period last year, primarily driven by the opening of the Gaylord National Resort and Convention Center.
Income from continuing operations was $8.5 million, or $0.21 per share, compared to income from continuing operations of $93.6 million, or $2.21 per share, in the prior-year quarter. Income from continuing operations in 2007 included a $140.3 million pre-tax gain from the sale of the company's investment in Bass Pro Group.
Hospitality segment total revenue increased 38.7 percent to $233.6 million in the second quarter of 2008 compared to $168.4
million in the prior-year quarter. Gaylord Hotels' revenue per available room(1) ("RevPAR") and total revenue per available
room(2) ("Total RevPAR") increased 2.6 percent and 3.5 percent, respectively, compared to the second quarter of 2007.
Total RevPAR was impacted by some softening in outside-the-room spend. Same-store hospitality revenue increased 2.0
percent to $171.8 million driven by increases in average daily rate ("ADR") and resort fees across the network of hotels,
offset by lower occupancy due to increased attrition levels.
Adjusted EBITDA(3) was $57.9 million in the second quarter of 2008 compared to $38.7 million in the prior-year quarter.
Consolidated Cash Flow(4) ("CCF") increased 44.1 percent to $64.5 million in the second quarter of 2008 compared
to $44.8 million in the same period last year driven by the opening of the Gaylord National Resort and Convention
Center. CCF was also positively impacted by increased collection of attrition and cancellation fees as well as the
Company's focus on margin management and its ability to manage resources according to current demand.
"Our meetings-focused business model is working well in this difficult environment. This quarter, and year-to-date, we have produced very solid increases in profitability growth despite modest same-store revenue growth. This profitability growth was driven by attrition and cancellation fees, increases in average daily rate and by running our hotels more efficiently," said Colin V. Reed, chairman and chief executive officer of Gaylord Entertainment.
Reed added, "The Gaylord National had a very solid opening, producing 67.5 percent occupancy and more than $14 million in CCF. We are pleased with the opening and with the progress the property is making."
"We are seeing higher than historic attrition levels across the brand, which have affected occupancy and will likely continue for the remainder of the year. We are confident, however, in our business model, the contractual protection we have and our ability to maximize profits given this difficult operating environment."
Segment Operating Results Hospitality
Key components of the Company's hospitality segment performance in the second quarter of 2008 include:
Gaylord Hotels' RevPAR increased 2.6 percent to $133.59 in the second quarter of 2008 compared to $130.18 in the prior-year quarter, driven by the opening of Gaylord National, increases in ADR and strong transient business. Gaylord Hotels' Total RevPAR increased 3.5 percent to $321.09 in the second quarter of 2008 compared to $310.36 in the second quarter of 2007, though there was some softening in outside-the-room spend during the quarter. Same-store RevPAR and Total RevPAR were flat in the second quarter of 2008 compared to the prior-year quarter.
Gaylord Hotels' CCF increased 35.5 percent to $69.8 million in the second quarter of 2008 compared to $51.5 million in the same period last year. Same-store CCF increased 8.2 percent due to revenue growth, increased attrition and cancellation fee collections, the Company's continued focus on margin management initiatives and Gaylord's ability to effectively manage resources according to demand. The CCF margin for the hospitality segment was relatively flat at 29.9 percent, compared to 30.6 percent in the prior-year quarter. Same-store CCF margin grew 190 basis points to 32.5 percent versus 30.6 percent for the same period last year.
Gaylord Hotels' same-store net definite bookings for all future years decreased 17.6 percent to 341,000 room nights booked in the second quarter of 2008 compared to the same period in 2007. At the end of the quarter, all Gaylord Hotel properties have 5.7 million room nights booked for future years as compared to 5.2 million at the same time last year.
Gaylord Hotels' same-store attrition levels reached 10 percent in the second quarter compared to 8 percent for the same period in 2007. Attrition in the first quarter 2008 was 11 percent.
Reed continued, "We've already booked more room nights for 2009 than we had for 2008 at this time last year, indicating that our business model remains strong. While we have experienced an increase in attrition from conventions held in the quarter, we have a degree of profit protection that is built into our contracts with customers. Though this increase in attrition impacts RevPAR, it does not affect Total RevPAR or CCF as significantly. Our strong CCF levels are an indication that we can grow profitability even in a period when the industry is experiencing a major slowdown."
"We continue to forge solid relationships with meeting planners and remain focused on growing our brand to meet the demand we continue to see. Additionally, our brand is becoming popular with leisure customers as well, evidenced by strong transient business this quarter, which is different from what others in the industry are experiencing," said Reed. "With the addition of Gaylord National to our portfolio, where we already have 1.5 million room nights on the books for all future years, and future opportunities to expand our network, we are optimistic about the success of our long-term growth strategies and the greater potential of our brand."
At the property level, Gaylord Opryland generated revenue of $73.5 million in the second quarter of 2008, a 3.0 percent increase compared to the prior-year quarter, largely a result of a shift toward more corporate business groups, which drove higher ADR. Second quarter RevPAR decreased 4.0 percent to $124.54 compared to $129.69 in the same period last year driven by an 8.3 point decline in occupancy. Total RevPAR decreased slightly to $280.68 in the second quarter of 2008 compared to the prior-year quarter. CCF increased 8.5 percent to $23.1 million, versus $21.3 million in the year-ago quarter due to successful cost control initiatives, the collection of cancellation and attrition payments and an increase in resort fees. CCF margin increased 160 basis points for the quarter to 31.4 percent, compared to the 29.8 percent CCF margin in the prior-year quarter. Operating statistics for the second quarter of 2007 reflect 12,574 room nights out of available inventory due to the Opryland room renovation. Completed in February 2008, this did not impact availability during the second quarter of this year.
Gaylord Palms posted revenue of $47.8 million in the second quarter of 2008, an increase of 3.6 percent compared to $46.1 million in the prior-year quarter. Second quarter RevPAR increased 8.3 percent to $152.89 compared to $141.23 in the same quarter last year, aided by an uptick in ADR and an increase in transient room nights. Total RevPAR increased 3.6 percent to $373.45. Driven by a 3.2 percent increase in group ADR, CCF increased to $16.0 million compared to $14.2 million in the prior-year quarter, resulting in a CCF margin of 33.4 percent, a 260 basis point increase from the prior-year quarter.
Gaylord Texan revenue was $48.0 million in the second quarter of 2008, down slightly from $48.4 million in the prior-year quarter. RevPAR in the second quarter increased 1.0 percent to $132.56 due to a 2.6 percent increase in ADR. Total RevPAR decreased 0.9 percent to $348.95. CCF increased 4.0 percent to $15.9 million in the second quarter of 2008, versus $15.3 million in the prior-year quarter, resulting in a 33.1 percent CCF margin, a 160 basis point increase from the prior-year quarter. The increase in CCF was primarily due to the increased ADR, an increase in attrition and cancellation fee collections in the quarter and lower commissions.
Gaylord National revenue was $61.8 million in the second quarter of 2008. RevPAR in the second quarter was $143.19. Total RevPAR was $359.02, driven by solid results in the banquets department and high outside-the-room spend. CCF was $14.1 million in the second quarter of 2008, resulting in a 22.7 percent CCF margin. During the quarter, advanced bookings for all future years reached approximately 1.5 million room nights. The Company spent an additional $90.2 million in the second quarter of 2008 on development of the property, bringing total capital expenditures for the hotel to date to $936.9 million.
Opry and Attractions
Opry and Attractions segment revenue increased 17.0 percent to $24.5 million in the second quarter of 2008, compared to $20.9 million in the year-ago quarter. The segment's CCF decreased to $4.6 million in the second quarter of 2008 from $4.7 million in the prior-year quarter.
Corporate and Other
Corporate and Other operating loss totaled $12.8 million in the second quarter of 2008 compared to an operating loss of $13.9 million in the same period last year. Corporate and Other CCF in the second quarter of 2008 increased 13.3 percent to a loss of $9.9 million compared to a loss of $11.4 million in the same period last year.
Liquidity
As of June 30, 2008, the Company had long-term debt outstanding, including current portion, of $1,247.1 million and unrestricted and restricted cash of $33.3 million. At the end of the second quarter of 2008, $324.3 million of the Company's $1.0 billion credit facility remained undrawn, which included $10.7 million in letters of credit.
On July 28, 2008, the Company announced that it entered into a new $1.0 billion senior secured credit facility that will be available to fund the Company's business plan. The $1.0 billion credit facility replaces the Company's prior $1 billion facility and matures in July 2012. The new facility provides for $300 million of revolving credit and a $700 million fully drawn term loan along with an accordion feature under which the Company can increase availability by $400 million with the agreement of participating banks.
On April 2, 2008, Gaylord took receipt of $145.0 million face value in bonds issued by Prince George's County related to construction of Gaylord National and is now recording interest income on these securities.
Outlook
The following business performance outlook is based on current information as of August 5, 2008. The Company does not expect to update guidance before next quarter's earnings release. However, the Company may update its full business outlook or any portion thereof at any time for any reason.
"Looking ahead, we believe that our core business will continue to yield solid results and that our unique model provides us with solid protection against the current market environment. That said, while demand for our hotels remains strong, we continued to experience higher levels of attrition in the quarter and we have projected similar attrition levels for the rest of this year. As we have pointed out on multiple occasions, when a group turns up with fewer delegates than they bargained for we lose the gross revenue that would have been generated had they filled their block, but we collect attrition fees that essentially cover our lost profitability. We believe that, as a result, it is prudent to trim our RevPAR and Total RevPAR guidance for the full year 2008. Our profitability metrics remain reasonably strong and as such, we are only reducing the top end of our CCF guidance range," Reed concluded.

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, 2007. 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 we formerly owned and changes in the fair value of the derivative associated with the secured forward exchange contract prior to its maturity 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 were 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 percent and 6.75 percent senior notes) is a non-GAAP financial measure which also excludes the impact of pre-opening costs, impairment charges, 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). 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.
