Ryman Hospitality Properties, Inc. Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2020 Results

 

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (Feb. 26, 2021) – 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 three months and year ended December 31, 2020.

 

Fourth Quarter 2020 Highlights:

 

·Average monthly cash burn for the fourth quarter of 2020 was approximately $12 million per month, a decrease of approximately $11 million from the third quarter of 2020
   
·Through year end, rebooked 1.34 million room nights, or approximately 58% of total room nights cancelled as a result of COVID-19
   
·Successfully extended credit facility waiver period of financial covenants through March 31, 2022
   
·Subsequent to the quarter’s end, successfully completed $600 million private placement of senior unsecured notes due 2029 at a favorable 4.5% rate, with proceeds used to purchase, pursuant to the previously announced tender offer, and redeem the $400 million 5.00% senior unsecured notes due 2023, and excess proceeds used to repay revolver borrowings and general corporate purposes

 

Colin Reed, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Ryman Hospitality Properties, said, “Our results for the fourth quarter and the year demonstrate the resiliency, flexibility and strength of our business model as we continue to navigate through this extraordinary period. During the fourth quarter, we continued to see operational and financial improvements across our portfolio. Our Hospitality segment delivered a profitable performance thanks in part to our innovative holiday programming and world-class resort amenities, which provided leisure travelers a safe, all-under-one-roof way to celebrate the season. Our large atriums, expansive public entertainment spaces, best-in-class service and stringent cleaning standards contributed to three separate weekend nights during the quarter when occupancy of over 80% was achieved at one of our Gaylord hotels.

 

While COVID-19 continues to present a significant challenge across the country, we are optimistic that our business will begin to return to more typical levels later this year. Our meeting planner research and advanced bookings indicates there is strong desire to resume travel and in-person meetings once vaccines are widely distributed to the public.

 

I am proud of our employees, partners and other stakeholders who have worked together to continue managing through the twists and turns of this period of time as we set this Company up to emerge from this crisis in a position of strength.”

Reed continued, “Despite ongoing capacity constraints, the Entertainment segment is showing encouraging signs as consumers continue to pursue safe entertainment options. Our Circle network joint venture saw encouraging growth in both viewers and distribution in 2020, thanks in large part to our decision in the early days of the pandemic to broadcast the Saturday night Grand Ole Opry performance live, which allowed us to engage with our core audience and attract new fans to Circle and the Grand Ole Opry. This exposure has allowed fans from across the country and around the world to get a glimpse of what goes on in Nashville, and we are optimistic that this exposure will stimulate a desire to visit Nashville in the months ahead. We continue to work closely with local health officials in managing our available capacity as we position our facilities for a return to more typical business levels as the national vaccine program gathers pace and local health metrics improve.”

 

Corporate and Other Segment

 

For the three months and twelve months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company reported the following:

Corporate and Other Segment Operating Loss and Adjusted EBITDAre for the 2020 periods are primarily employment and administrative costs.

 

Reed concluded, “I want to express my tremendous gratitude for and pride in the efforts our employees continue to make every day across our operating businesses. When this virus thrust itself upon us just over a year ago and forced the closure of our operations, this extraordinary group of people took up the challenge not only to help make the substantial changes necessary to get us back up and running safely, but also to embrace the opportunity of making the Ryman family stronger as we emerge from this pandemic. I remain confident in our employees, in our business model, and in the long-term strength of our Company.”

 

Dividend Update

 

The Company suspended its regular quarterly dividend payments following the payment of the first quarter 2020 dividend payment, which was made in April 2020. The Board has not reinstituted the dividend. The Board of Directors will consider a future dividend as permitted by our credit agreement.  Our credit facility amendment permits payment of dividends as necessary to maintain our REIT status and permits us to pay a dividend of $0.01 per share each quarter. Any future dividend is subject to the Board of Director’s determinations as to the amount of distributions and the timing thereof.

Balance Sheet/Liquidity Update

 

At December 31, 2020, the Company had total consolidated debt outstanding of $2,658.0 million (net of unamortized deferred financing costs) and unrestricted cash of $56.7 million. As of December 31, 2020, $106.0 million of borrowings were drawn under the revolving line of credit of the Company’s credit facility, and the lending banks had issued $0.8 million in letters of credit, which left $593.2 million of availability for borrowing under the revolving credit facility.

 

On December 22, 2020 the Company successfully amended its credit facility to allow for an extended temporary waiver of all financial covenants through March 31, 2022 and confirmed the continued availability of the undrawn amounts under the revolving credit facility.

 

Subsequent to year end on February 17, 2021, the Company completed the private placement of $600 million aggregate principal amount of 4.5% senior notes due 2029. The Company used the proceeds from this offering to purchase, pursuant to the Company’s previously announced tender offer, and redeem its $400 million 5.00% senior unsecured notes due 2023, to repay all or a portion of the outstanding indebtedness under the Company’s revolving credit facility and the remainder for general corporate purposes.

 

The Company continues to take steps to both preserve and maximize liquidity in this environment while also investing for the future. These steps included the suspension or elimination of $82 million of hotel capital projects for 2020, in addition to delaying the start of the previously announced Gaylord Rockies expansion. The expansion at Gaylord Palms continues as scheduled to service the anticipated future group customer demand. We expect this expansion to be complete in April 2021.

Additional Information

 

This release should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our most recent annual 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. Room nights available to guests include nights the hotels are closed. 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. Rooms out of service for renovation are included in room nights available. For the three months and year ended December 31, 2020, the calculation of RevPAR and Total RevPAR in our tabular presentations has not been changed as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting hotel closures and is consistent with prior periods. The closure of our Gaylord Hotel properties, including the Gaylord National, which remains closed, and reopening under capacity restrictions has resulted in the significant decrease in performance reflected in these metrics for the three months and year ended December 31, 2020, as compared to the prior-year periods.

 

Calculation of GAAP Margin Figures

 

We calculate Net Income available to common shareholders margin by dividing GAAP consolidated Net Income available to common shareholders 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:

 

EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre, Excluding Noncontrolling Interest in Consolidated Joint Ventures Definition

 

We calculate EBITDAre, which is defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) in its September 2017 white paper as net income (calculated in accordance with GAAP) plus interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, gains or losses on the disposition of depreciated property (including gains or losses on change in control), impairment write-downs of depreciated property and of investments in unconsolidated affiliates caused by a decrease in the value of depreciated property or the affiliate, and adjustments to reflect the entity’s share of EBITDAre of unconsolidated affiliates.

 

10

 

 

Adjusted EBITDAre is then calculated as EBITDAre, plus to the extent the following adjustments occurred during the periods presented:

 

·preopening costs;

 

·non-cash lease expense;

 

·equity-based compensation expense;

 

·impairment charges that do not meet the NAREIT definition above;

 

·credit losses on held-to-maturity securities;

 

·any transaction costs of acquisitions;

 

·interest income on bonds;

 

·loss on extinguishment of debt;

 

·pension settlement charges;

 

·pro rata Adjusted EBITDAre from unconsolidated joint ventures; and

 

·any other adjustments we have identified herein.

 

We then exclude noncontrolling interests in consolidated joint ventures to calculate Adjusted EBITDAre, Excluding Noncontrolling Interest in Consolidated Joint Venture.

 

We use EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre, Excluding Noncontrolling Interest in Consolidated Joint Venture to evaluate our operating performance. We believe that the presentation of these non-GAAP metrics provides useful information to investors regarding our operating performance and debt leverage metrics, and that the presentation of these non-GAAP metrics, when combined with the primary GAAP presentation of net income, is beneficial to an investor’s complete understanding of our operating performance. We make additional adjustments to EBITDAre when evaluating our performance because we believe that presenting Adjusted EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre, Excluding Noncontrolling Interest in Consolidated Joint Venture provides useful information to investors regarding our operating performance and debt leverage metrics. Beginning in the first quarter 2020 with the Company’s adoption of ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses – Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,” our definition of Adjusted EBITDAre includes an adjustment for credit loss on held-to-maturity securities; such charges in previous quarters were included in impairment charges that do not meet the NAREIT definition. The 2020 presentation has been used for the 2019 period.

 

Adjusted EBITDAre, Excluding Noncontrolling Interest in Consolidated Joint Venture Margin Definition

 

We calculate consolidated Adjusted EBITDAre, Excluding Noncontrolling Interest in Consolidated Joint Venture Margin by dividing consolidated Adjusted EBITDAre, Excluding Noncontrolling Interest in Consolidated Joint Venture by GAAP consolidated Total Revenue. We calculate consolidated, segment or property-level Adjusted EBITDAre Margin by dividing consolidated, segment-, or property-level Adjusted EBITDAre by consolidated, segment-, or property-level GAAP Revenue. We believe Adjusted EBITDAre, Excluding Noncontrolling Interest in Consolidated Joint Venture 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 EBITDAre, Excluding Noncontrolling Interest in Consolidated Joint Venture and GAAP consolidated Total Revenue or segment or property-level GAAP Revenue, as applicable.

 

11

 

 

FFO, Adjusted FFO, and Adjusted FFO available to common shareholders and unit holders Definition

 

We calculate FFO, which definition is clarified by NAREIT in its December 2018 white paper as net income (calculated in accordance with GAAP) excluding depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs and debt discounts), gains and losses from the sale of certain real estate assets, gains and losses from a change in control, impairment write-downs of certain real estate assets and investments in entities when the impairment is directly attributable to decreases in the value of depreciated real estate held by the entity, income (loss) from consolidated joint ventures attributable to noncontrolling interest, and pro rata adjustments for unconsolidated joint ventures.

 

To calculate Adjusted FFO available to common shareholders and unit holders, we then exclude, to the extent the following adjustments occurred during the periods presented:

 

·right-of-use asset amortization;

 

·impairment charges that do not meet the NAREIT definition above;

 

·write-offs of deferred financing costs;

 

·amortization of debt discounts or premiums and amortization of deferred financing costs;

 

·(gains) losses on extinguishment of debt

 

·non-cash lease expense;

 

·credit loss on held-to-maturity securities;

 

·pension settlement charges;

 

·additional pro rata adjustments from unconsolidated joint ventures;

 

·(gains) losses on other assets;

 

·transaction costs on acquisitions;

 

·deferred income tax expense (benefit); and

 

·any other adjustments we have identified herein.

 

To calculated adjusted FFO available to common shareholders and unit holders (excluding maintenance capex), we then exclude FF&E reserve for managed properties and maintenance capital expenditures for non-managed properties. FFO available to common shareholders and unit holders and Adjusted FFO available to common shareholders and units holders and Adjusted FFO available to common shareholders and unit holders (excluding maintenance capex) exclude the ownership portion of Gaylord Rockies joint venture not controlled or owned by the Company.

 

12

 

 

Beginning in the first quarter 2020 with the Company’s adoption of ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses – Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,” our definition of Adjusted FFO available to common shareholders and unit holders includes an adjustment for credit loss on held-to-maturity securities; such charges in previous quarters were included in impairment charges that do not meet the NAREIT definition. The 2020 presentation has been used for the 2019 period. Beginning in the third quarter of 2020, we refer to unitholders in these measures, reflecting outstanding OP units issued to noncontrolling interests for the first time during third quarter 2020.

 

We believe that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors regarding the performance of our ongoing operations because each presents 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 these non-GAAP financial measures as measures in determining our results after considering the impact of our capital structure.

 

We caution investors that non-GAAP financial measures we present may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by other companies, because not all companies calculate these non-GAAP measures in the same manner. The non-GAAP financial measures we present, and any related per share measures, should not be considered as alternative measures of our Net Income (Loss), operating performance, cash flow or liquidity. These non-GAAP financial measures 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 these non-GAAP financial measures 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), Operating Income (Loss), or cash flow from operations.
