GAYLORD ENTERTAINMENT DISCUSSES OPERATING PHILOSOPHY
AND LONG-TERM GROWTH STRATEGY AT
2007 ANALYST AND INVESTOR CONFERENCE
Company Reaffirms 2007 Guidance
Provides Financial Guidance through 2010
Nashville, Tenn., (April 5, 2007) — Gaylord Entertainment Company (NYSE: GET) will today discuss several strategic growth initiatives and provide financial guidance through 2010 during its 2007 Analyst and Investor Conference being held in Washington, D.C. Participants will also tour the 2,000-room Gaylord National Resort and Convention Center scheduled to open April 2008.
In presentations being delivered starting at 9:00 a.m. EST to institutional investors and securities analysts, Colin V. Reed, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, David Kloeppel, Chief Financial Officer, and John Caparella, Chief Operating Officer of Gaylord Hotels will provide an overview of the Company’s operating philosophy, long term growth initiatives and financing strategy in order to further develop the Gaylord Hotels brand and expand distribution into new markets. Key elements of the plan include:
    Continue to build on Gaylord Hotels’ market leadership in the meeting and convention industry through expanded distribution
Enhanced distribution is the Company’s primary goal for the period 2007 to 2010. The Company believes that current group demand in the U.S. would support in excess of its previous estimates of eight to 10 large Gaylord Hotel properties. Recent market research conducted by the Company supports a larger need for a meetings-oriented hotel brand. Currently, Gaylord Hotels is expanding and under negotiations to expand distribution into two new and important locations, Prince George’s County, Maryland and Chula Vista, California. Over the past six years, Gaylord Hotels’ differentiated business model and “all-under-one-roof” offerings have generated strong demand within the meeting and convention segment of the hospitality industry, leading to significant revenue per available room1 (“RevPAR”), total revenue per available room2 (“Total RevPAR”) and Consolidated Cash Flow3 (“CCF”) growth since 2001. Because Gaylord’s core customers book large blocks of rooms years in advance, the Company’s unique market focus also provides unmatched visibility into future revenue streams.

 


 

The opening of the expanded 2,000-room Gaylord National Resort and Convention Center in April 2008 remains an integral component of the Company’s efforts to further expand the distribution of its large-scale convention hotels across the nation. With the high level of demand generated by the Gaylord National among meeting planners, the Company expects this new addition to the Gaylord Hotels network to deliver strong operating and financial performance in its first year of operation, by providing meeting and convention customers with a premium product unparalleled in the Washington D.C. market.
Gaylord Hotels turned down a total of 6.1 million group room nights in 2006, a significant share of that demand from group customers managing 200-600 room night meetings. By aggressively expanding Gaylord’s unique service model into new markets with smaller meetings-oriented hotels, and by leveraging Gaylord’s strong relationships with meeting planners, the Company will be able to cater to this underserved segment of the meetings industry that has an appetite for the Gaylord service experience in a smaller environment. The product extension strategy allows the Company to attract new premium group customers and effectively rotate existing and loyal target group customers to new smaller-scale hotels.
    Expand to Capitalize on Strong Brand Recognition and Demand
In 2006, Gaylord Hotels could only accommodate 15 percent of its total group demand given the current room and meeting space capacity at its existing hotels. The recently announced expansion of Gaylord Opryland Resort and Convention Center will serve as a model for other possible expansions across the Gaylord network. The current $400 million expansion planned at Gaylord Opryland will add over 400,000 square feet of convention and meeting space and a new 435-room, luxury all-suite hotel adjacent to its current facility.
 
    Transform existing assets into leisure destinations through key operating relationships
Gaylord Entertainment believes that through key operating and capital partnerships it can develop existing real estate surrounding its hotels into leisure destinations. By enhancing existing properties with entertainment/leisure assets, the Company will be able to attract a higher number of transient guests, providing a robust complement to group business during lower demand periods.
“As a result of Gaylord’s close relationships with meeting planners and convention customers, we have identified several opportunities that we believe will enable us to capture a more significant share of the group segment in the industry,” said Colin V. Reed, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Gaylord Entertainment. “First and foremost, our intense focus on the further development of the large hospitality segment is critical to generating continued growth for our Company. Through the expansion of our existing assets, building additional properties in key markets and co-investing in additional attractions, we believe that we can lock in our position as the market leader.”

 


 

“In addition, our success in building tremendous brand equity and offering a truly unique product has caught the attention of meeting planners and meetings and convention guests who desire the Gaylord experience. Due to overwhelming demand, we have had to turn away a significant number of potential customers. By executing on a plan to rapidly expand our distribution we can profitably address this underserved segment and effectively diversify and grow our revenue base,” said Reed.
Guidance
In conjunction with the discussion on Gaylord Entertainment’s operating initiatives, the Company will also provide operating and financial guidance through 2010.
“We believe that with the successful implementation of these strategies, we can significantly grow the Company over the next several years, and as our guidance indicates, deliver sustainable RevPAR, Total RevPAR and CCF growth through 2010 for our core portfolio of hotels. We expect the Gaylord National, the new addition to the Gaylord Hotels network, to generate strong operating and financial performance in its early years of operation,” said Reed.
Reed continued, “We are enthusiastic about the long-term strength of our business. Operationally we continue to enhance and refine our service standards and processes to further drive customer satisfaction and loyalty. This dynamic process creates some year-over-year margin anomalies but the business overall gets stronger and more profitable. Margins in the first quarter of 2007 were slightly impacted by new service initiatives that were implemented towards the end of 2006 and, as we described on our fourth quarter earnings call, first quarter 2007 will be the softest of the year. Despite difficult comparisons to 2006, the quarter came in largely as expected. We are on track for the full-year and are reaffirming the guidance we provided in February. It is also important to reiterate that while 2007 should bring solid growth for our business, given all of the major strategic initiatives we are taking on, we will be in a stronger position to generate even greater returns for shareholders in 2008 and beyond.”
The Company announced during its fourth quarter 2006 earnings release that it will suspend issuing full year guidance for ResortQuest until the conclusion of its review of options to maximize value in this investment.

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 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, and our ability to successfully operate our hotels. 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 31st, 2006. 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 Consolidated Cash Flow (“CCF”) (which is used in this presentation as that term is defined in the Indenture governing the Company’s 8% and 6.75% senior notes) is defined as operating income plus depreciation and amortization and excludes the impact of pre-opening costs, impairment charges, the non-cash portion of the naming rights agreement and the Florida ground lease expense, non-recurring ResortQuest integration charges which when added to other expenses related to the merger do not exceed $10 million, stock option expense, the non-cash gains and losses on the disposal of certain fixed assets, and adds (subtracts) other gains (losses), including the $5.4 million gain on the collection of a note receivable held by ResortQuest as well as dividends received from our investments in unconsolidated companies. 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 4 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 segment operating income is included as part of the Supplemental Financial Reconciliation Schedule provided with this press release and available on the Gaylord Entertainment Investor Relations website. The calculation of CCF margin is CCF as a percentage of revenue.
 
    4 Gaylord Hotels same-store operating and financial figures include the Gaylord Opryland, Gaylord Palms, Gaylord Texan and Radisson hotel in Nashville, TN.

GAYLORD ENTERTAINMENT COMPANY
Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Reconciliations
     In our press release and schedules, and related conference calls, we report certain financial measures that are not prescribed or authorized by United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). We discuss management’s reasons for reporting these non-GAAP measures below, and the tables on the following pages reconcile the most directly comparable generally accepted accounting principle measures to the non-GAAP measures that we refer to in our press release. Although management evaluates and presents these non-GAAP measures for the reasons described below, please be aware that these non-GAAP measures are not alternatives to revenue, operating income, income from continuing operations, net income, earnings per share or any other comparable operating measure prescribed by GAAP. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures may be calculated and/or presented differently than measures with the same or similar names that are reported by other companies, and as a result, the non-GAAP measures we report may not be comparable to those reported by others.
     Adjusted EBITDA (defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, as well as certain unusual items) 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 own and changes in the fair value of the derivative associated with our secured forward exchange contract 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 are 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.
     Consolidated Cash Flow (which is used in this release as that term is defined in the Indentures governing the Company’s 8% and 6.75% senior notes) also excludes the impact of pre-opening costs, impairment charges, the non-cash portion of the naming rights and Florida ground lease expense, non-recurring ResortQuest integration charges which when added to other expenses related to the merger do not exceed $10 million, stock option expense, the non-cash gains and losses on the disposal of certain fixed assets, and adds (subtracts) other gains (losses), including the $5.4 million gain on the collection of a note receivable held by ResortQuest and dividends received from our investments in unconsolidated companies. 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 CCF margin is CCF as a percentage of revenue.
