CorePoint Lodging Reports Third Quarter 2020 Results

Third Quarter 2020 and Subsequent Highlights

• Net loss of $(8) million, or $(0.14) loss per fully diluted share
• Comparable RevPAR of $37.35, a decrease of 42.2% from the same period in 2019 with 798 basis points of RevPAR Index market share gain
• Adjusted EBITDAre of $8 million
• Adjusted FFO attributable to common stockholders of $0 million
• All of the Company’s hotels are currently open and operational
• Hotel room demand was generally consistent during the quarter with comparable occupancy of 52.3%
• Sold 20 non-core hotels for a combined gross sales price of approximately $97 million during the quarter
• Subsequent to quarter end, sold one non-core hotel for a gross sales price of approximately $7 million, resulting in a total of 51 non-core hotels sold during 2020 for a combined gross sales price of approximately $233 million and a total of 95 non-core hotels sold since March 2019 for a combined gross sales price of approximately $410 million
• An additional 22 hotels are under contract with qualified buyers, expected to generate approximately $110 million of gross proceeds, and expected to close by the end of the second quarter of 2021, subject to market and other conditions

“We continue to believe that our portfolio of select-service hotels predominately focused on the midscale segments is well positioned to capture the current levels of transient room demand,” noted Keith Cline, President and Chief Executive Officer of CorePoint. “Our portfolio footprint is mostly in suburban markets, as well as drive to destination markets and interstate adjacent locations. This portfolio positioning has enabled us to benefit from leisure travel and some recovery in certain segments of corporate travel related to essential businesses. When combined with our aggressive capital preservation and cost containment efforts at both the property and corporate level, we achieved a positive hotel level Adjusted EBITDAre of approximately $12 million for the third quarter resulting in a total company, excluding capital expenditures, operating cash break-even position for the quarter.”

“While we are encouraged by our third quarter results, we remain cautious about the uncertainty in the months ahead for the lodging industry as we continue to navigate the ongoing global pandemic. The fourth quarter and the first quarter have historically been part of our slower non-peak season. If those historical trends hold, we are cognizant of the potential for softening in operating metrics, but we are prepared to adjust our cost control initiatives as overall business conditions evolve.”

Mr. Cline added, “Throughout the quarter, we continued our successful execution of our real estate strategy. This strategy is a proven value creator for our business. Since the beginning of the year, we have closed on the sale of 51 hotels for gross proceeds of $233 million at attractive valuations and have paid down $160 million of debt.”

Third Quarter 2020 Financial and Operating Results

The Company reported net loss of $(8) million, or $(0.14) loss per fully diluted share, for the quarter ended September30, 2020, compared to net loss of $(12) million, or $(0.22) loss per fully diluted share, for the quarter ended September30, 2019. Decreases in year-over-year revenues were offset by lower operating and other expenses.

Comparable RevPAR for the third quarter of 2020 decreased 42.2% over the same period of 2019 with 798 basis points of RevPAR Index market share gains. The decline in comparable RevPAR was driven by a 24.0% decrease in comparable ADR and 1,650 bps decrease in comparable occupancy. The decline in occupancy was primarily driven by a significant reduction in hotel demand resulting from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Top performing markets included Sacramento, California, Phoenix, Arizona, Tampa-St. Petersburg, Florida and Central Florida.

Adjusted EBITDAre for the third quarter of 2020 was $8 million as compared to $38 million for the same period in 2019. The year-over-year decrease was primarily due to decreases in rooms revenue, including the impact of sold hotels and a reduction in room demand due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Operations Update and Measures to Mitigate Impact of COVID-19

Due to the operational and financial impact from the COVID-19 pandemic and requirements from state and local government and public health authorities, CorePoint, along with its third-party manager, temporarily did not accept transient guests or most other reservations at 30 of the Company’s hotels, beginning in late March, 2020, in order to minimize ongoing operating expenses and conserve cash. By early August 2020, the Company had resumed operations at all of its locations.

Comparable occupancy by month during the third quarter of 2020 reflected consistent hotel room demand as the Company’s hotels benefited from leisure travel, certain segments of corporate travel related to essential businesses and being located in drive-to destinations. The following table summarizes select operating statistics for the months of July, August, and September of 2020:

The Company continues to implement the following measures to control costs and preserve capital to mitigate the ongoing operational and financial impact from the COVID-19 pandemic:

• Reducing staffing levels, eliminating non-essential amenity offerings, minimizing spending at all hotels, and closing sections and / or floors at some hotels to maximize efficiencies.
• Deferring all non-essential capital investments and expenditures for the balance of 2020, with the exception of life safety and critical operational needs.
• Implementing cost containment measures with respect to all other corporate spending.
• Related to Board and executive compensation, CorePoint’s Board of Directors will be paid their board fees for the remainder of 2020 in the form of deferred stock units and Mr. Cline has agreed to take a portion of his compensation for the remainder of 2020 in the form of restricted stock in lieu of cash.

Dispositions

Since CorePoint commenced its initial non-core disposition program of 78 hotels in March 2019, 66 of these hotels have been successfully sold for a combined gross sales price of approximately $265 million and an additional 5 of these hotels are under contract with qualified buyers, expected to generate approximately $19 million of gross proceeds. The Company’s expanded non-core disposition program includes an additional phase two group of 132 hotels. Of the phase two hotels, 29 have been successfully sold for a combined gross sales price of approximately $145 million and an additional 17 phase two hotels are under contract with qualified buyers, expected to generate approximately $91 million in gross proceeds. There can be no assurance as to the timing of any future sales or whether such sales will be completed at all. The company is unable to forecast at this time the impact from the COVID-19 pandemic on the timing of or gross proceeds from asset sales.

Hotel Disposition Summary ($ in millions):

Capital Investments

The Company invested approximately $4 million in the third quarter of 2020 in capital improvements. Excluding hurricane restoration costs, the Company invested approximately $3 million in capital improvements for the third quarter of 2020. As previously disclosed, CorePoint is deferring all non-essential capital investments and expenditures for the balance of 2020, with the exception of life safety or critical operational needs, resulting in an expected annual spend estimate of $15 million to $20 million, excluding any hurricane restoration costs which are predominantly covered by insurance proceeds.

Balance Sheet and Liquidity

As of September30, 2020, the Company had total cash and cash equivalents of $180 million, excluding lender and other escrows of approximately $33 million.

As of September30, 2020, the Company had total debt principal outstanding of $867 million, which consisted of the following:

Dividends

As previously disclosed, the Company expects that its common stock dividend will remain suspended for the balance of 2020, resulting in the preservation of approximately $11 million of cash per quarter, or approximately $45 million on an annualized basis. CorePoint’s Board of Directors will reassess at theend of theyear anyadditional common dividend amount that may bedeclared and paid for 2020 in addition to the dividend paid with respect to the first quarter of 2020. All future dividends will be at the sole discretion of CorePoint’s Board of Directors and will depend upon, among other things compliance with debt covenants and maintenance of our REIT qualification.

Wyndham Settlement Update

As part of the previously disclosed settlement agreement (the “Wyndham Settlement”), CorePoint continues to work closely with its sole property manager, LQ Management L.L.C. (“LQM”), an affiliate of Wyndham Hotels & Resorts, Inc. (“Wyndham”), to support its reestablishment of the agreed upon revenue management software and tools, call center technologies and the administration of corporate and group bookings. The implementation work is underway and is required under the Wyndham Settlement to be completed by no later than the end of 2020.

Through the third quarter of 2020, CorePoint has received cash payments totaling approximately $33 million from Wyndham, including approximately $1 million received in the third quarter of 2020, in accordance with the terms of the settlement. CorePoint expects to receive the remaining approximately $4 million of settlement payments from Wyndham by no later than June 2021.

RECONCILIATIONS

The tables below provide a reconciliation of Hotel Adjusted EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDAre, EBITDAre and EBITDA to net income (loss), and a reconciliation of FFO and Adjusted FFO to net income (loss). We believe this financial information provides meaningful supplemental information because it represents how management views the business and reviews our operating performance. It is also used by management when publicly providing the business outlook. See the definitions of “EBITDA,” “EBITDAre,” “Adjusted EBITDAre,” “Comparable Hotel Adjusted EBITDAre,” “FFO” and “Adjusted FFO,” for a further explanation of the use of these measures.

“EBITDA.”Earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) is a commonly used measure in many REIT and non-REIT related industries. We believe EBITDA is useful in evaluating our operating performance because it provides an indication of our ability to incur and service debt, to satisfy general operating expenses, and to make capital expenditures. We calculate EBITDA excluding discontinued operations. EBITDA is intended to be a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that is independent of a company’s capital structure.

“EBITDAre.” We present EBITDAre in accordance with guidelines established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“Nareit”). Nareit defines EBITDAre as EBITDA adjusted for gains or losses on the disposition of properties, impairments, and adjustments to reflect the entity’s share of EBITDAre of unconsolidated affiliates. We believe EBITDAre is a useful performance measure to help investors evaluate and compare the results of our operations from period to period.

“Adjusted EBITDAre.” Adjusted EBITDAre is calculated as EBITDAre adjusted for certain items, such as restructuring and separation transaction expenses, acquisition transaction expenses, stock-based compensation expense, severance expense, and other items not indicative of ongoing operating performance.

The Company believes that EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre provide useful information to investors about it and its financial condition and results of operations for the following reasons: (i)EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre are among the measures used by the Company’s management to evaluate its operating performance and make day-to-day operating decisions; and (ii)EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre are frequently used by securities analysts, investors, lenders and other interested parties as a common performance measure to compare results or estimate valuations across companies in and apart from the Company’s industry sector.

EBITDA, EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre are not recognized terms under GAAP, have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered either in isolation or as a substitute for net income (loss), cash flow or other methods of analyzing the Company’s results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are that these measures:

• do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, the Company’s working capital needs;
• do not reflect the Company’s interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on its indebtedness;
• do not reflect the Company’s tax expense or the cash requirements to pay its taxes;
• do not reflect historical cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;
• EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre do not include gains or losses on the disposition of properties which may be material to our operating performance and cash flow;
• do not reflect the impact on earnings or changes resulting from matters that the Company considers not to be indicative of our future operations, including but not limited to discontinued operations, impairment, acquisition and disposition activities and restructuring expenses;
• although depreciation, amortization and impairment are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated, amortized or impaired will often have to be replaced, upgraded or repositioned in the future, and EBITDA, EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre do not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements; and
• other companies in the Company’s industry may calculate EBITDA, EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre differently, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures.

Because of these limitations, EBITDA, EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre should not be considered as a replacement to net income (loss) presented in accordance with GAAP, discretionary cash available to the Company to reinvest in the growth of its business or as measures of cash that will be available to the Company to meet its obligations.

“Comparable Hotel Adjusted EBITDAre” measures property-level results at the Company’s Comparable hotels before corporate-level expenses and is a key measure of a hotel’s profitability. The Company presents Hotel Adjusted EBITDAre to help the Company and its investors evaluate the ongoing operating performance of the Company’s properties.

“Comparable Hotel Adjusted EBITDAre margin” represents the ratio of Comparable Hotel Adjusted EBITDAre to total revenues.

Funds from operations (“FFO”) and “Adjusted FFO”. We present Nareit FFO attributable to common stockholders and Nareit FFO per diluted share (as defined below) as non-GAAP measures of our performance. We calculate funds from operations (“FFO”) attributable to common stockholders for a given operating period in accordance with standards established by Nareit, as net income or loss (calculated in accordance with GAAP), excluding depreciation and amortization related to real estate, gains or losses on sales of certain real estate assets, impairment write-downs of real estate assets, discontinued operations, income taxes related to sales of certain real estate assets, and the cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles, plus adjustments for unconsolidated joint ventures. Adjustments for unconsolidated joint ventures are calculated to reflect our pro rata share of the FFO of those entities on the same basis. Since real estate values historically have risen or fallen with market conditions, many industry investors have considered presentation of operating results for real estate companies that use historical cost accounting to be insufficient by themselves. For these reasons, Nareit adopted the FFO metric in order to promote an industry wide measure of REIT operating performance. We believe Nareit FFO provides useful information to investors regarding our operating performance and can facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods and between REITs. Our presentation may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs that do not define the terms in accordance with the current Nareit definition, or that interpret the current Nareit definition differently than we do. We calculate Nareit FFO per diluted share as our Nareit FFO divided by the number of fully diluted shares outstanding during a given operating period.

We also present Adjusted FFO attributable to common stockholders when evaluating our performance because we believe that the exclusion of certain additional items described below provides useful supplemental information to investors regarding our ongoing operating performance. Management historically has made the adjustments detailed below in evaluating our performance and in our annual budget process. We believe that the presentation of Adjusted FFO provides useful supplemental information that is beneficial to an investor’s complete understanding of our operating performance. We adjust Nareit FFO attributable to common stockholders for the following items, and refer to this measure as Adjusted FFO attributable to common stockholders: transaction expense associated with the potential disposition of or acquisition of real estate or businesses; severance expense; share-based compensation expense; litigation gains and losses outside the ordinary course of business; amortization of deferred financing costs; reorganization costs and separation transaction expenses; loss on early extinguishment of debt; straight-line ground lease expense; casualty losses; deferred tax expense; and other items that we believe are not representative of our current or future operating performance.

Nareit FFO attributable to common stockholders and Adjusted FFO attributable to common stockholders have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered either in isolation or as a substitute for net income (loss), cash flow or other methods of analyzing our results as reported under GAAP. Nareit FFO is not an indication of our liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to fund dividends. Nareit FFO is also not a useful measure in evaluating net asset value because impairments are taken into account in determining net asset value but not in determining Nareit FFO. Investors are cautioned that we may not recover any impairment charges in the future. Accordingly, Nareit FFO should be reviewed in connection with GAAP measurements. We believe our presentation of Nareit FFO is in accordance with the Nareit definition; however, our Nareit FFO may not be comparable to amounts calculated by other REITs.

CERTAIN DEFINED TERMS

Average daily rate (“ADR”) represents hotel room revenues divided by total number of rooms rented in a given period. ADR measures the average room price attained by a hotel or group of hotels, and ADR trends provide useful information concerning pricing policies and the nature of the guest base of a hotel or group of hotels. Changes in room rates have an impact on overall revenues and profitability.

“Occupancy” represents the total number of rooms rented in a given period divided by the total number of rooms available at a hotel or group of hotels. Occupancy measures the utilization of our hotels’ available capacity, which may be affected from time to time by our repositioning, property casualties and other activities. Management uses occupancy to gauge demand at a specific hotel or group of hotels in a given period. Occupancy levels also help us determine achievable ADR levels as demand for hotel rooms increases or decreases.

Revenue per available room (“RevPAR”) is defined as the product of the ADR charged and the average daily occupancy achieved. RevPAR does not include bad debt expense or other ancillary, non-room revenues, such as food and beverage revenues or parking, telephone or other guest service revenues generated by a hotel, which are not significant for us.

RevPAR changes that are driven predominately by occupancy have different implications for overall revenue levels and incremental hotel operating profit than changes driven predominately by ADR. For example, increases in occupancy at a hotel would lead to increases in room and other revenues, as well as incremental operating costs (including, but not limited to, housekeeping services, utilities and room amenity costs). RevPAR increases due to higher ADR, however, would generally not result in additional operating costs, with the exception of those charged or incurred as a percentage of revenue, such as management and royalty fees, credit card fees and commissions. As a result, changes in RevPAR driven by increases or decreases in ADR generally have a greater effect on operating profitability at our hotels than changes in RevPAR driven by occupancy levels. Due to seasonality in our business, we review RevPAR by comparing current periods to budget and period-over-period.

“RevPAR Index” measures a hotel’s fair market share of its competitive set’s revenue per available room.

“Comparable Hotels” are defined as hotels thatwere active and operating in our system for at least one full calendar year as of the end of the applicable reporting period and were active and operating as of January1st of the previous year. Comparable Hotels exclude: (i) hotels that sustained substantial property damage or other business interruption; (ii) hotels that are sold or classified as held for sale; or (iii) hotels in which comparable results are otherwise not available. Management uses Comparable Hotels as the basis upon which to evaluate ADR, occupancy, and RevPAR. Management calculates comparable ADR, Occupancy, and RevPAR using the same set of Comparable Hotels as defined above. Further, we report variances in comparable ADR, occupancy, and RevPAR between periods for the set of Comparable Hotels existing at the reporting date versus the results of the same set of hotels in the prior period. When considering business interruption in the context of our definition of Comparable Hotels, any hotel that had completely or partially suspended operations on a temporary basis at any point during the three and nine months ended September30, 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, was considered to be part of the definition of Comparable Hotels. Despite these temporary suspensions of hotel operations, we believe that including these hotels within ADR, Occupancy and RevPAR, reflects the underlying results of our business for the three and nine months ended September30, 2020.
