Ryman Hospitality Properties, Inc. Reports Third Quarter 2017 Results

Consolidated Net Income of $23.9 Million –

– Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA of $75.5 Million –

– RevPAR Decrease of 0.6 Percent; Total RevPAR Decrease of 4.8 Percent, Compared to Third Quarter 2016 –

– Raises Full-Year Guidance Midpoint –

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (November 7, 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 third quarter ended September 30, 2017.

Colin Reed, chairman and chief executive officer of Ryman Hospitality Properties, said, “We are pleased with our third quarter 2017 results, which were in line with our expectations going into the year despite the hurricane-related disruption we experienced this quarter. The unusual hurricane season highlighted the resiliency of our unique model as we offset some of the storm-related disruption in our group business at Gaylord Palms with utility and remediation crews as well as storm-related transient business.

We were thrilled with our strong third quarter bookings for all future years, which nearly matched the record third quarter gross room night production we reported in 2016. The group segment continues to perform well overall, and with our growth projects at Gaylord Texan, Gaylord Opryland and our Gaylord Rockies joint venture project on time and on budget, we are poised to take full advantage of the demand we are seeing in the group market in the years to come.”

Highlights for third quarter 2017 for the Hospitality segment and at each property include:

 

   

Hospitality Segment: Total revenue for the third quarter 2017 decreased 4.7 percent to $229.6 million compared to third quarter 2016. Total RevPAR declined by 4.8 percent for the quarter primarily due to an unfavorable group mix shift from premium corporate and association groups to groups with lower outside-the-room spending profiles across our Gaylord Hotels properties, as

compared to third quarter 2016, and the Jewish holiday shift from fourth quarter 2016 to third quarter 2017. We estimate that the Jewish holiday shift represented approximately 50 basis points of the third quarter 2017 Total RevPAR decline as compared to third quarter 2016. In addition, the Hospitality segment was adversely impacted by Hurricanes Harvey and Irma at Gaylord Texan and Gaylord Palms, respectively. Occupancy for the quarter across the Hospitality segment was flat despite difficult year-over-year comparisons and the impact of hurricanes in the quarter, due primarily to an increase in transient business for the segment. In The Year, For The Year cancellations and attrition were elevated in the third quarter 2017, as compared to third quarter 2016, due primarily to hurricane-related impacts. Hospitality segment operating income declined by 20.2 percent to $36.5 million in the third quarter of 2017, as compared to the third quarter of 2016. Operating income margin for the segment declined by just over 300 basis points to 15.9 percent. Hospitality segment Adjusted EBITDA declined 9.9 percent as compared to the third quarter of 2016, and Adjusted EBITDA margin decreased by 170 basis points to 30.2 percent.

Gaylord Opryland: Total revenue for third quarter 2017 declined by 3.3 percent to $76.2 million, compared to third quarter 2016. RevPAR increased 4.6 percent in the third quarter as compared to third quarter 2016, aided by a 1.9 point increase in occupancy and a 1.9 percent increase in ADR. Total RevPAR decreased 3.4 percent in the third quarter as compared to third quarter 2016, due to a mix shift from corporate groups in the third quarter of 2016 to other groups that typically spend less on food and beverage than corporate groups. In addition, the inclusion of a large cancellation fee in third quarter 2016 impacted year-over-year comparisons for operating

income and Adjusted EBITDA. Operating income decreased 20.8 percent to $17.2 million in the third quarter of 2017, compared to the third quarter of 2016. Adjusted EBITDA decreased 11.0 percent to $25.9 million compared to third quarter 2016. There were approximately 12,250 room nights out of service during the third quarter of 2017 due to planned room renovations, compared to 19,700 room nights out of service in the third quarter of 2016. Work continued during the quarter on SoundWaves, Gaylord Opryland’s new $90 million resort water feature, which remains on time and on budget with an anticipated opening in late 2018.

    Gaylord Palms: Total revenue decreased 11.8 percent to $37.2 million in third quarter 2017, compared to third quarter 2016, driven mostly by a shift in group mix and an increase in cancellations and attrition in the quarter resulting from Hurricane Irma in September. The hotel experienced approximately 10,000 room night cancellations and attrition due to Hurricane Irma. A decline in food and beverage revenue driven by hurricane-related group cancellations contributed to a Total RevPAR decline of 11.8 percent in the third quarter as compared to third quarter 2016. Despite hurricane-related group cancellations, occupancy was flat compared to third quarter 2016, driven by an increase in room nights from utility companies related to the hurricane remediation efforts as well as storm-related transient business. In addition, the 2016 period included the collection of a large group contract settlement, which contributed to the Total RevPAR decline. Operating income declined by 34.1 percent to $3.1 million in the third quarter of 2017 compared to the third quarter of 2016. Adjusted EBITDA declined by 15.4 percent to $9.1 million compared to third quarter 2016.

    Gaylord Texan: Total revenue decreased 4.4 percent to $50.2 million in third quarter 2017, compared to third quarter 2016, driven by an occupancy decrease of 7.0 points, which also led to decreased food and beverage revenue. RevPAR and Total RevPAR decreased by 9.8 percent and 4.4 percent, respectively, on a year-over-year basis, driven by a decrease in group occupancy and the effects of Hurricane Harvey during the quarter. Specifically, Gaylord Texan experienced approximately 2,400 room night cancellations and attrition in the third quarter 2017 as a result of hurricane-related travel disruptions. The property also faced a difficult year-over-year comparison, as last year’s high occupancy allowed it to leverage its fixed cost basis and drive higher incremental profitability. Operating income decreased 11.8 percent to $10.4 million in third quarter 2017, compared to third quarter 2016. Adjusted EBITDA declined 7.5 percent to $15.6 million, compared to third quarter 2016. The decreases in operating income and Adjusted EBITDA were driven primarily by the decline in overall occupancy, which was partially offset by a large cancellation fee collected in the quarter. The previously-announced room and meeting space expansion at Gaylord Texan continues to be on pace and on budget, with an anticipated opening in second quarter 2018.

    Gaylord National: Total revenue decreased 3.4 percent to $58.9 million in third quarter 2017 compared to third quarter 2016. While third quarter occupancy increased 1.8 points to 74.2 percent, a 4.9 percent decline in ADR year-over-year impacted RevPAR . The ADR decline coupled with lower food and beverage revenue impacted Total RevPAR. During the third quarter of 2017, the property attracted approximately 5,600 room nights attributed to the MGM National Harbor Casino (“MGM”) through packaging efforts over the July 4th and Labor Day holidays that featured discounted room rates. These efforts allowed the hotel to experiment with packaging opportunities and drive occupancy during traditionally low occupancy periods. Operating income declined by 31.0 percent to $4.3 million in the third quarter of 2017 compared to the third quarter of 2016. Adjusted EBITDA decreased 9.3 percent to $16.5 million in the third quarter of 2017 as compared to the third quarter of 2016.

Reed continued, “We are pleased with the performance our hotels delivered this quarter despite the anticipated mix shifts we experienced, which resulted in softer overall food and beverage demand and outside-the-room spending. In light of the significant disruption resulting from Hurricane Irma in the quarter, Gaylord Palms’ ability to achieve essentially flat occupancy levels is particularly noteworthy. At Gaylord National, our proximity to the nearby MGM continues to drive transient-related occupancy volumes. We believe we will be able to gradually increase ADR and outside-the-room spending associated with these guests in future periods as MGM continues to ramp up their operations and expand their customer base.”

During the quarter, we successfully opened Ole Red Tishomingo, and it has exceeded our performance expectations so far. We are enthusiastic about the continued progress on our growth projects, with our Opry City Stage joint venture set to open in Times Square at the end of November and our flagship Ole Red location in downtown Nashville set to open in the spring of 2018. We are also pleased to begin work in January on our $12 million expansion of the retail and parking areas of our Grand Ole Opry House complex, which we announced in October. These improvements will enable us to improve our guest experience and further capitalize on the growing demand for this beloved Nashville attraction.”

Dividend Update

The Company paid its third quarter 2017 cash dividend of $0.80 per share of common stock on October 13, 2017 to stockholders of record as of September 29, 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 with the remaining payment occurring in January of 2018. Any future dividend is subject to the Board of Director’s determinations as to the amount of quarterly distributions and the timing thereof.

Balance Sheet/Liquidity Update

As of September 30, 2017, the Company had total debt outstanding of $1,566.8 million, net of unamortized deferred financing costs, and unrestricted cash of $62.7 million. As of September 30, 2017, $146.5 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 $551.4 million of availability for borrowing under the credit facility.

Guidance

The Company has raised the low end of its guidance range for 2017 RevPAR, Net Income, Adjusted EBITDA on a consolidated basis, Funds from Operation (FFO) and Adjusted FFO (AFFO) to reflect stronger performance expectations for fourth quarter 2017. The Company does not expect to update the 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.

Reed continued, “The pace of future bookings remains strong, and we were pleased to build on last year’s record results with another solid quarter of performance. Group room nights on the books for 2017 are ahead of plan, and we expect to close out the year with good momentum. To that end, we are expecting fiscal year 2017 RevPAR growth in the range of 2.5% – 3% (increased from our prior guidance of 1% – 3%). We continue to expect Total RevPAR growth to be in the range of 1% – 2%.

Our net income guidance range for the full year is $153.5 to $158.2 million (increased from our prior guidance of $148.5 to $158.2 million). The low end of our Adjusted EBITDA guidance range for the Hospitality segment was raised to reflect a range of $340.0 to $344.0 million (increased from our prior guidance of $335.0 to $344.0 million), which primarily reflects an improvement in overall margins through profit improvement plans at our hotels.

Our 2017 Adjusted EBITDA guidance for the Entertainment segment is now $40.0 to $42.0 million (increased from our prior guidance of $37.0 to $40.0 million) and Corporate & Other guidance is now a loss of $26.0 to $25.0 million (increased from our prior guidance of a loss of $24.0 to $23.0 million). As a result of these changes, our guidance for 2017 Adjusted EBITDA on a consolidated basis is now $354.0 to $361.0 million (compared to our prior guidance of $348.0 to $361.0 million).”

Additional Information

This release should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our most recent report on Form 10-K. Copies of our reports are available on our website at no expense at www.rymanhp.com and through the SEC’s Electronic Data Gathering Analysis and Retrieval System (“EDGAR”) at www.sec.gov.

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, segment, or property-level Operating Income Margin by dividing consolidated, segment, or property-level GAAP Operating Income by consolidated, 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

 

12


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, and property-level Operating Income to segment, and property-level Adjusted EBITDA are set forth below under “Supplemental Financial Results.”

Adjusted EBITDA Margin Definition

We calculate consolidated Adjusted EBITDA Margin by dividing consolidated Adjusted EBITDA by GAAP consolidated Total Revenue. We calculate segment, or property-level Adjusted EBITDA Margin by dividing segment, or property-level Adjusted EBITDA by 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 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, (gains) losses on extinguishment of debt and warrant settlements, and 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 considering the impact of our capital structure. A reconciliation of Net Income (loss) to Adjusted FFO is set forth below under “Supplemental Financial Results.”

 

13


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 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.
