NASHVILLE, Tenn. (Feb. 28, 2017) – Ryman Hospitality Properties, Inc. (NYSE: RHP), a lodging real estate investment trust (“REIT”) specializing in group-oriented, destination hotel assets in urban and resort markets, today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2016.

Colin Reed, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Ryman Hospitality Properties, said, “Our businesses delivered fourth quarter 2016 results that were in line with our expectations going into the quarter and contributed to another record year for our company from a total revenue, net income, Adjusted EBITDA, and hospitality gross group bookings perspective. Full year 2016 results for these measures exceeded last year’s performance by 5.2 percent, 42.9 percent, 7.7 percent, and 9.9 percent, respectively.

We closed fourth quarter 2016 with gross group bookings results that nearly matched our record Q4 2015 production. This strong close solidified 2016 as the best gross room night production year in brand history. We began 2017 with 6.4 million gross room nights on the books for all future years, which, in addition to being a new high-water mark for the brand, is further indication that the group market is alive and well. We remain confident in our market position and the outlook for this segment. While overall industry supply according to STR is expected to grow by a modest 2.0 percent and 2.2 percent in 2017 and 2018, respectively, the demand for hotels of our size and group-oriented nature is robust with little new competitive supply in the pipeline for the foreseeable future.”

Property-level results and operating metrics for fourth quarter and full year 2016 are presented in greater detail below and under “Supplemental Financial Results—Hospitality Segment Adjusted EBITDA Reconciliations,” which includes a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures Hospitality Adjusted EBITDA to Hospitality Operating Income, Same-Store Hospitality Adjusted EBITDA to Same-Store Hospitality Operating Income, and property-level Adjusted EBITDA to property-level Operating Income for each of the hotel properties. Highlights for fourth quarter 2016 for the Hospitality segment and at each property include:

 

    Hospitality Segment (Same-Store): Total revenue increased 1.5 percent to $289.5 million in fourth quarter 2016 compared to fourth quarter 2015. RevPAR decreased 2.1 percent in the fourth quarter 2016 compared to the fourth quarter 2015, driven primarily by the unfavorable impact of group cancellations as a result of Hurricane Matthew and the Jewish holiday shift from third quarter 2015 to fourth quarter 2016, both of which impacted the Gaylord Palms the most. The decline due to the hurricane was partially offset by a pickup in groups associated with hurricane cleanup efforts. We estimate that the Jewish holiday shift represented approximately 85 basis points of the fourth quarter 2016 RevPAR decline as compared to fourth quarter 2015. Total RevPAR increased 1.3 percent in the fourth quarter 2016 compared to the fourth quarter 2015, driven by strong-performing holiday programming. Fourth quarter 2015 included a $16.3 million impairment charge related to a change in our expansion plans for the Gaylord Texan property. In addition, during full year 2015, the hospitality segment incurred $2.9 million in impairment charges related to assets previously used in special events programming that was discontinued. Operating income increased 58.0 percent to $63.0 million in fourth quarter 2016, as compared to fourth quarter 2015, driven by the Gaylord Texan, as described below. Operating income margin improved nearly 800 basis points to 21.7 percent. Adjusted EBITDA increased 5.3 percent to $91.5 million in fourth quarter 2016, as compared to fourth quarter 2015. Adjusted EBITDA margin improved 120 basis points to 31.6 percent.

 

    Gaylord Opryland: Total revenue for fourth quarter 2016 increased 0.9 percent to $97.8 million compared to fourth quarter 2015, driven by modestly higher occupancy and a 0.7 percent year-over-year increase in outside-the-room spend related to strong banquet and holiday performance. Gains in outside-the-room spending offset a 2.0 percent year-over-year decline in RevPAR related to an unfavorable group mix shift that also impacted ADR. Operating income increased 12.4 percent to $26.6 million in fourth quarter 2016, as compared to fourth quarter 2015. Operating income margin improved 280 basis points to 27.2 percent. Adjusted EBITDA increased 9.9 percent year-over-year, to $34.6 million, and Adjusted EBITDA margin improved 290 basis points to 35.4 percent, due to cost savings and productivity gains.

 

4


    Gaylord Palms: Total revenue for fourth quarter 2016 decreased 0.4 percent to $52.1 million compared to fourth quarter 2015, driven by a 4.6 percent decrease in RevPAR as a result of a 2.9 percentage point decrease in occupancy related to group cancellations as a result of Hurricane Matthew and the shift in the Jewish holiday. The decline due to the hurricane was partially offset by a pickup in groups associated with hurricane cleanup efforts who used the hotel as a staging area; however, these groups were at a lower room rate and incurred little to no outside-the-room spending on food and beverage. The shift in the Jewish holiday represented roughly an estimated 400 basis point decline in RevPAR for fourth quarter 2016 as compared to fourth quarter 2015. Total RevPAR decreased 1.1 percent compared to fourth quarter 2015. Robust holiday programming sales partially offset hurricane-related year-over-year Total RevPAR declines. Operating income decreased 11.8 percent to $7.4 million in fourth quarter 2016, as compared to fourth quarter 2015. Operating income margin declined 180 basis points to 14.1 percent. Adjusted EBITDA decreased 6.0 percent to $13.5 million compared to fourth quarter 2015, and Adjusted EBITDA margin declined 150 basis points to 26.0 percent, due primarily to the impact of Hurricane Matthew.

 

    Gaylord Texan: Total revenue for fourth quarter 2016 increased 5.7 percent to $68.7 million compared to fourth quarter 2015, driven by a 2.5 percent increase in ADR related to a favorable mix shift to corporate room nights. Total RevPAR increased 5.7 percent in fourth quarter 2016, compared to fourth quarter 2015, related to strong banquet performance and strong holiday programming revenue. Operating income increased 1,656 percent to $19.8 million in fourth quarter 2016, as compared to fourth quarter 2015. Fourth quarter 2015 included a $16.3 million impairment charge related to a change in our expansion plans for the property. Operating income margin increased 2,720 basis points to 28.9 percent. Adjusted EBITDA increased 11.4 percent to $24.9 million compared to fourth quarter 2015. Adjusted EBITDA margin increased 190 basis points to 36.3 percent on strong overall performance.

 

   

Gaylord National: Total revenue for fourth quarter 2016 decreased 0.7 percent to $67.1 million, compared to fourth quarter 2015, due to a decline in both occupancy and ADR related to a decrease in group room nights, which was partially offset by an increase in transient room nights. Total RevPAR declined 0.7 percent in fourth quarter 2016 compared to fourth quarter 2015. Operating income increased 45.6 percent to $7.3 million in fourth quarter 2016, as compared to

fourth quarter 2015. Operating income margin improved 350 basis points to 10.9 percent. Adjusted EBITDA decreased 2.2 percent to $16.2 million, as compared to fourth quarter 2015. Adjusted EBITDA margin decreased 40 basis points to 24.1 percent.

Reed continued, “Overall, 2016 was an excellent year for our hotels, with Gaylord Opryland and Gaylord Texan both surpassing their previous full year revenue, operating income, and Adjusted EBITDA records. Despite some unforeseen challenges in the fourth quarter related to Hurricane Matthew, Gaylord Palms led the Gaylord Hotels brand in full year revenue growth and achieved its best-ever full year results in revenue, operating income, and Adjusted EBITDA. While Gaylord National’s performance was relatively flat in 2016, we believe the future is bright for this hotel as it is poised to benefit from its new riverfront ballroom, set to open in May of 2017, as well as the neighboring MGM National Harbor, which continues to ramp up its operations.”

Reed continued, “2016 is the third consecutive year that our Entertainment segment has produced double-digit revenue, operating income, and Adjusted EBITDA growth and the first year we have seen this segment surpass $100 million in revenue. With Opry City Stage in New York City set to open this year and our plans for Ole Red taking shape, we continue to believe there is additional upside potential for this segment in the years ahead as we begin to extend the reach of our iconic Entertainment brands both inside and outside Nashville.”

Development Update

Subsequent to the end of the fourth quarter, the Company announced two development projects that are set to open in 2018. Both projects will be funded with cash on hand and borrowings under the Company’s credit facility.

On January 5, 2017, the Company announced plans to transform Blake Shelton’s breakout hit “Ol’ Red” into a new lifestyle brand anchored by a $20 million multi-level entertainment venue in the heart of Music City’s famed Lower Broadway. Ole Red Nashville will be a multi-level 26,000-square-foot entertainment venue, with a two-story bar and restaurant, retail area, performance space, dance floor and private VIP booths for small groups. The complex will also include a large, private event space and a 6,000-square-foot rooftop featuring an indoor/outdoor bar and restaurant with panoramic views of Lower Broadway. The Company also announced it will open a smaller, similarly-branded Ole Red concept in Shelton’s hometown of Tishomingo, Oklahoma in late 2017.

On January 25, 2017, the Company announced plans for SoundWaves, a proposed $90 million luxury indoor/outdoor waterpark, adjacent to Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center in Nashville. The proposed project includes nearly 111,000 square feet of upscale indoor water attractions and activities over three levels and another 106,000 square feet of outdoor water amenities. The project will have dedicated indoor and outdoor recreation zones for adults, young children and families, as well as dining options and private cabana rentals. Adult guests will have exclusive access to adults-only indoor and outdoor pools, bars and lounging areas throughout the complex.

Guidance

The following business performance outlook is based on current information as of February 28, 2017. The Company does not expect to update the guidance provided below 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. The Hospitality segment guidance for RevPAR and Total RevPAR provided herein includes the AC Hotel at National Harbor.

Reed continued, “As we communicated to you throughout 2016, our group room nights on the books for 2017 were pacing in line with what we saw going into 2016, and while we believe 2017 will be another solid year for our hospitality business, we anticipate flat to modest year-over-year growth in hospitality revenue. In addition, we anticipate having approximately 49,000 room nights out of service in 2017 as we complete a planned renovation of the Delta portion of our Gaylord Opryland property. As such, we expect both RevPAR and Total RevPAR growth in 2017 in the range of 0% – 3%.

For full year 2017, net income assumes a range of $139.8 to $157.6 million. Our Adjusted EBITDA guidance range for full year 2017 for our Hospitality segment is $330.0 to $344.0 million. This Adjusted EBITDA guidance for our Hospitality segment includes the impact of continued room renovation work at Gaylord Opryland and we anticipate a meaningful increase in property tax payments across our portfolio due to the improved financial performance we have had at our hotels since our last major assessments took place in 2013.

Our 2017 Adjusted EBITDA guidance for the Entertainment segment is $34.0 to $38.0 million and Corporate & Other guidance for Adjusted EBITDA in 2017 is a loss of $24.0 to $22.0 million. As a result, our guidance for 2017 Adjusted EBITDA on a consolidated basis is $340.0 to $360.0 million.

We entered 2017 with 6.4 million gross room nights on the books for all future years, and we remain confident in our ability to capitalize on the strength of the group market in the short term and especially in 2018 and beyond when we will begin to see the benefit of our capital reinvestments at Gaylord Texan and Gaylord Opryland, as well as our investment in Gaylord Rockies. Coupled with our aggressive growth plans on the Entertainment side of our business, we believe the future looks tremendous for our Company.”

Dividend Update

The Company paid its fourth quarter 2016 cash dividend of $0.75 per share of common stock on January 13, 2017 to stockholders of record on December 30, 2016. Including the fourth quarter cash dividend payment, the Company paid a total of $3.00 per share of dividends to its common shareholders for the full year 2016.

Today, the Company declared its first quarter cash dividend of $0.80 per share of common stock payable on April 14, 2017 to stockholders of record on March 31, 2017. It is the Company’s current plan to distribute total 2017 annual dividends of approximately $3.20 per share in cash in equal quarterly payments in April, July, and October of 2017 and in January of 2018, which is a 7 percent increase over

 

9


the full year 2016 dividend of $3.00. If expected regular quarterly dividends for 2017 do not satisfy the Company’s annual distribution requirements, the Company would satisfy the annual distribution requirement by paying a “catch up” dividend in January 2018. Any future dividend is subject to the board’s future determinations as to the amount of quarterly distributions and the timing thereof.

Balance Sheet/Liquidity Update

As of December 31, 2016, the Company had total debt outstanding of $1,502.6 million (net of unamortized deferred financing costs) and unrestricted cash of $59.1 million. As of December 31, 2016, $382.4 million of borrowings were drawn under the revolving credit line of the Company’s credit facility, and the lending banks had issued $2.1 million in letters of credit, which left $315.5 million of availability for borrowing under the credit facility.

Calculation of RevPAR and Total RevPAR

We calculate revenue per available room (“RevPAR”) for our hotels by dividing room revenue by room nights available to guests for the period. We calculate total revenue per available room (“Total RevPAR”) for our hotels by dividing the sum of room revenue, food & beverage and other ancillary services revenue by room nights available to guests for the period.

Calculation of GAAP Margin Figures

We calculate Net Income Margin by dividing GAAP consolidated Net Income by GAAP consolidated Total Revenue. We calculate consolidated, Same-Store Hospitality, segment, or property-level Operating Income Margin by dividing consolidated, Same-Store Hospitality, segment, or property-level GAAP Operating Income by consolidated, Same-Store Hospitality, segment, or property-level GAAP Revenue.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We present the following non-GAAP financial measures we believe are useful to investors as key measures of our operating performance:

Adjusted EBITDA Definition

To calculate Adjusted EBITDA, we first determine Operating Income, which represents Net Income (loss) determined in accordance with GAAP, plus, to the extent the following adjustments occurred during the periods presented: loss (income) from discontinued operations, net; provision (benefit) for income taxes; other (gains) and losses, net; loss on extinguishment of debt; (income) loss from joint ventures; and interest expense, net. Adjusted EBITDA is then calculated as Operating Income, plus, to the extent the following adjustments occurred during the periods presented: depreciation and amortization; preopening costs; non-cash ground lease expense; equity-based compensation expense; impairment charges; any closing costs of completed acquisitions; interest income on Gaylord National bonds; other gains and (losses), net; (gains) losses on warrant settlements; pension settlement charges; pro rata Adjusted EBITDA from joint ventures, (gains) losses on the disposal of assets, and any other adjustments we have identified in this release. We believe Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors in evaluating our operating performance because this measure helps investors evaluate and compare the results of our operations from period to period by removing the impact of our capital structure (primarily interest expense) and our asset base (primarily depreciation and amortization) from our operating results. A reconciliation of Net Income (loss) to Operating Income and Adjusted EBITDA and a reconciliation of segment, same-store, and property-level Operating Income to segment, same-store, and property-level Adjusted EBITDA are set forth below under “Supplemental Financial Results.” Hospitality Adjusted EBITDA—Same-Store excludes the AC Hotel at National Harbor.

 

12


Adjusted EBITDA Margin Definition

We calculate consolidated Adjusted EBITDA Margin by dividing consolidated Adjusted EBITDA by GAAP consolidated Total Revenue. We calculate Same-Store Hospitality, segment, or property-level Adjusted EBITDA Margin by dividing Same-Store Hospitality, segment, or property-level Adjusted EBITDA by Same-Store Hospitality, segment, or property-level GAAP Revenue. We believe Adjusted EBITDA Margin is useful to investors in evaluating our operating performance because this non-GAAP financial measure helps investors evaluate and compare the results of our operations from period to period by presenting a ratio showing the quantitative relationship between Adjusted EBITDA and GAAP consolidated Total Revenue or Same-Store Hospitality, segment, or property-level GAAP Revenue, as applicable.

Adjusted FFO Definition

We calculate Adjusted FFO to mean Net Income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding, to the extent the following adjustments occurred during the periods presented: non-controlling interests, and (gains) and losses from sales of property; depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs and debt discounts) and certain pro rata adjustments from joint ventures (which equals FFO). We then exclude, to the extent the following adjustments occurred during the periods presented, impairment charges; write-offs of deferred financing costs, non-cash ground lease expense, amortization of debt discounts and amortization of deferred financing cost, pension settlement charges, additional pro rata adjustments from joint ventures, (gains) losses on other assets, and (gains) losses on extinguishment of debt and warrant settlements. Beginning in 2016, we exclude the impact of deferred income tax expense (benefit). We believe that the presentation of Adjusted FFO provides useful information to investors regarding the performance of our ongoing operations because it is a measure of our operations without regard to specified non-cash items such as real estate depreciation and amortization, gain or loss on sale of assets and certain other items which we believe are not indicative of the performance of our underlying hotel properties. We believe that these items are more representative of our asset base than our ongoing operations. We also use Adjusted FFO as one measure in determining our results after taking into account the impact of our capital structure. A reconciliation of Net Income (loss) to Adjusted FFO is set forth below under “Supplemental Financial Results.” 2015 Adjusted FFO figures are presented using the 2016 definition of Adjusted FFO.

We caution investors that amounts presented in accordance with our definitions of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, and Adjusted FFO may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by

 

13


other companies, because not all companies calculate these non-GAAP measures in the same manner. Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, and Adjusted FFO, and any related per share measures, should not be considered as alternative measures of our Net Income (loss), operating performance, cash flow or liquidity. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted FFO may include funds that may not be available for our discretionary use due to functional requirements to conserve funds for capital expenditures and property acquisitions and other commitments and uncertainties. Although we believe that Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, and Adjusted FFO can enhance an investor’s understanding of our results of operations, these non-GAAP financial measures, when viewed individually, are not necessarily better indicators of any trend as compared to GAAP measures such as Net Income (loss), Net Income Margin, Operating Income (loss), Operating Income Margin, or cash flow from operations. In addition, you should be aware that adverse economic and market and other conditions may harm our cash flow.
