Pebblebrook Hotel Trust Completes Sale of the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Bethesda-Washington DC

Pebblebrook Hotel Trust (NYSE: PEB) (the “Company”) today announced that it has closed on the sale of the 270-room, upscale, full-service DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Bethesda-Washington DC (the “DoubleTree Bethesda”) in Bethesda, Maryland for $50.1 million.

The sale price of $50.1 million reflects an 11.6x EBITDA multiple and a 7.4% net operating income capitalization rate (after an assumed annual capital reserve of 4.0% of total hotel revenues) based on the trailing twelve-month operating performance for the period ended September 30, 2016.

“We are pleased with the sale of the DoubleTree Bethesda,” noted Jon E. Bortz, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Pebblebrook Hotel Trust. “This marks the third hotel sold under our strategic disposition plan that we initiated earlier this year. Following the sale of the DoubleTree Bethesda and the execution of our Manhattan asset exchange agreement, our strategic disposition plan has generated almost $250 million in gross proceeds. These property sales allow us to take advantage of the value differential seen across our portfolio between the public and private markets. We continue to remain confident in the buyer interest shown by a wide variety of both domestic and international hotel investors, particularly for high-quality, unencumbered hotels.”

Proceeds from the sale of DoubleTree Bethesda will be utilized for general business purposes which may include reducing the Company’s outstanding debt. The sale of DoubleTree Bethesda closed on November 2, 2016.

This press release includes certain non-GAAP financial measures as defined under Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) rules. These measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative to, measures prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. In addition, these non-GAAP measures are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. Non-GAAP measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with the hotel’s results of operations determined in accordance with GAAP.

 

The Company has presented trailing twelve month hotel EBITDA and trailing twelve month hotel net operating income after capital reserves because it believes these measures provide investors and analysts with an understanding of the hotel-level operating performance. These non-GAAP measures do not represent amounts available for management’s discretionary use, because of needed capital replacement or expansion, debt service obligations or other commitments and uncertainties, nor are they indicative of funds available to fund the Company’s cash needs, including its ability to make distributions.

 

The Company’s presentation of the hotel’s trailing twelve month EBITDA and trailing twelve month net operating income after capital reserves should not be considered as an alternative to net income (computed in accordance with GAAP) as an indicator of the hotel’s financial performance. The table above is a reconciliation of the hotel’s trailing twelve month EBITDA and net operating income after capital reserves calculations to net income in accordance with GAAP. Any differences are a result of rounding.
