Chatham Lodging Trust Announces Third Quarter 2024 Results

Rhea-AI Summary

Chatham Lodging Trust (NYSE: CLDT) reported third quarter 2024 results with RevPAR growth of 2.1% excluding hotels under renovation. The company generated net income of $4.3 million ($0.05 per share), down from $7.5 million ($0.11 per share) in Q3 2023. Q3 2024 RevPAR increased 1.3% to $150, with ADR up 1.3% to $188 and occupancy flat at 80%. Notable performance came from Silicon Valley and Bellevue hotels, showing 8% RevPAR growth. The company has agreements to sell five hotels for approximately $80 million in net proceeds. October RevPAR accelerated 6% over 2023 to $158.

Positive

• RevPAR growth of 2.1% outperformed industry average of 0.9%
• Silicon Valley and Bellevue hotels showed strong 8% RevPAR growth
• Potential $80 million in proceeds from sale of five properties
• October RevPAR showed 6% growth to $158
• Low leverage ratio of 24%

Negative

• Net income decreased to $4.3M from $7.5M year-over-year
• Hotel EBITDA margin declined to 37% from 38% year-over-year

• AFFO per share declined to $0.35 from $0.40 year-over-year

Insights

Financial Analyst

The Q3 results show mixed performance with some concerning trends. RevPAR grew modestly at 2.1%, but net income declined to $4.3 million from $7.5 million year-over-year. Adjusted FFO per share dropped to $0.35 from $0.40.

The planned sale of 5 older properties for $80 million is strategically sound, targeting underperforming assets with low RevPAR. With 24% leverage and $265 million in floating rate debt, the company is well-positioned to benefit from potential interest rate cuts, with each 1% drop adding $0.05 to FFO per share.

Tech market exposure is proving valuable, with Silicon Valley and Bellevue hotels showing 8% RevPAR growth. However, margin pressure continues with GOP margins declining to 44% from 45% year-over-year.

Real Estate Investment Analyst

The portfolio's asset recycling strategy warrants attention. Divesting 5 properties averaging 23 years old with $101 RevPAR (among bottom performers) demonstrates smart capital allocation. The $80 million in expected proceeds will strengthen the balance sheet by reducing debt.

Extended-stay hotels, comprising 65% of hotel EBITDA, provide stability. The geographic diversification across tech hubs and business centers is paying off, with 7 of 9 top markets showing RevPAR growth. The renovation schedule is well-managed, with strategic timing across key properties to minimize disruption.

RevPAR Growth Accelerates in September and October

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Chatham Lodging Trust (NYSE: CLDT), a lodging real estate investment trust (REIT) that invests in upscale, extended-stay hotels and premium-branded, select-service hotels, today announced results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2024.

Third Quarter 2024 Operating Results

• Portfolio Revenue Per Available Room (RevPAR) – Generated RevPAR growth of 2.1 percent excluding hotels under renovation during the 2024 and 2023 third quarters, as well as the Home2 Phoenix Downtown that opened in January 2024.
  • RevPAR increased 1.3 percent to $150 compared to the 2023 third quarter for the 38 comparable hotels. Average daily rate (ADR) was up 1.3 percent to $188, and occupancy was flat at 80 percent.
  • RevPAR for the Silicon Valley and Bellevue hotels was up 8 percent over the 2023 third quarter.
  • October RevPAR accelerated 6 percent over 2023 to $158, the second highest October RevPAR since Chatham's inception.
• Net Income – Produced net income of $4.3 million compared to net income of $7.5 million in the 2023 third quarter. Net income per diluted common share was $0.05 versus $0.11 during the 2023 third quarter.
• Hotel EBITDA Margin – Generated margins of 37 percent in the 2024 third quarter compared to 2023 second quarter margins of 38 percent.

• Asset Recycling – Entered into separate agreements to sell five hotels with an average age of 23 years, forecast 2024 RevPAR of $101 (among the six lowest RevPAR hotels in the portfolio) and due for renovation in the next 24 months. The transactions, if closed, will generate net proceeds of approximately $80 million, with funds being used initially to reduce debt.

Jeffrey H. Fisher, Chatham's president and chief executive officer, commented, “It’s been a productive quarter delivering RevPAR growth of over 2 percent, meeting consensus estimates of $0.35 per share and progressing on our capital recycling initiative. We currently have five hotels under contract to be sold which would result in net proceeds of approximately $80 million if the transactions close.”

Hotel RevPAR Performance

The below chart summarizes key hotel financial statistics for the 38 comparable hotels owned as of September 30, 2024, compared to the 2023 and 2019 second quarters:

	Q3 2024 RevPAR		Q3 2023 RevPAR		Q3 2019 RevPAR
Occupancy	80%		80%		85%
ADR	$188		$185		$176
RevPAR	$150		$148		$150

The below chart summarizes RevPAR statistics by month for Chatham's comparable hotels:

	July		August		September		October
Occupancy – 2024	81%		79%		80%		83%
ADR – 2024	$192		$182		$189		$191
RevPAR – 2024	$155		$144		$151		$158
RevPAR – 2023	$154		$143		$146		$148
% Change in RevPAR vs. prior year	—%		—%		3%		6%

Fisher highlighted, “We were very pleased with our same-store RevPAR growth of 2.1 percent after excluding hotels under renovation, far surpassing industry wide RevPAR growth of less than 0.9 percent. Our five technology dependent hotels in Silicon Valley and Bellevue produced strong RevPAR growth of 8 percent in the quarter, and growth surged to 14 percent in October at these same five hotels as we continue to benefit from surging tech demand.

“Fundamentals in our markets remain strong, as July and August market RevPAR grew 2 percent, and we closed out the quarter with September RevPAR growth of 3 percent and strong growth of 6 percent in October. Monthly RevPAR in September and October of $151 and $158 represents the second highest monthly RevPAR since our inception for each of those respective months. Business travel demand, our most important segment, continues to gain momentum as we experienced broad gains across our portfolio. Within our leisure market hotels, RevPAR rose slightly when we exclude our Savannah hotel that was under renovation for a portion of August and September,” Fisher concluded.

RevPAR performance for Chatham’s largest markets comprise 71 percent of trailing twelve-month hotel EBITDA (based on EBITDA contribution over the last twelve months) is presented below:

	% of LTM EBITDA		Q3 2024 RevPAR		Change vs. Q3 2023		Q3 2023 RevPAR		Q3 2019 RevPAR
38 - Hotel Portfolio			$150		1%		$148		$150
Silicon Valley	14%		$148		8%		$137		$205
Coastal Northeast	9%		$264		4%		$253		$225
Los Angeles	9%		$175		(4)%		$181		$174
Washington, D.C.	8%		$153		6%		$144		$152

Austin	5%		$121		5%		$115		$125
Seattle	5%		$184		7%		$172		$188

Within Dallas, the Courtyard by Marriott Addison was under renovation for most of the quarter. “Continuing a noteworthy trend, our primarily tech-driven hotels in Silicon Valley and Bellevue led the way with combined RevPAR growth of 8 percent in the quarter, driven by a 3 percent gain in occupancy and a 5 percent gain in ADR. Occupancy reached 78 percent in the quarter, and ADR reached $199,” highlighted Dennis Craven, Chatham's chief operating officer. “Excluding Silicon Valley and Bellevue, second quarter RevPAR of $148 exceeds 2019 RevPAR of $138.

“A great indicator for our portfolio is that seven of our top nine markets produced RevPAR growth, highlighting the broad growth we are experiencing. Washington, D.C., Greater New York, San Diego, Austin and Seattle are benefitting from primarily business travel demand. Our Coastal Northeast primarily leisure portfolio bucked the trends of most leisure markets and continued to see RevPAR grow.”

Approximately 65 percent of Chatham’s hotel EBITDA over the last twelve months was generated from its extended-stay hotels, the highest concentration of extended-stay rooms of any public lodging REIT. Third quarter 2024 occupancy, ADR and RevPAR for each of Chatham’s major brands is presented below (number of hotels in parentheses):

	Residence Inn (16)		Homewood Suites (6)		Courtyard (4)		Hampton Inn (3)		HGI (3)
% of LTM EBITDA	49%		10%		9%		8%		6%
Occupancy – 2024	82%		78%		63%		93%		85%
ADR – 2024	$198		$149		$143		$238		$240
RevPAR – 2024	$163		$116		$90		$220		$204
RevPAR – 2023	$155		$122		$89		$205		$207
% Change in RevPAR	5%		(4)%		1%		8%		(2)%

Hotel Operations Performance

The below chart summarizes key hotel operating performance measures for the three-months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023. Gross operating profit is calculated as hotel EBITDA plus property taxes, ground rent and insurance (in millions, except for RevPAR and margin percentages):

		Q3 2024		Q3 2023
RevPAR		$150		$148
Gross operating profit		$38.7		$38.8
Hotel EBITDA		$32.2		$32.8
GOP margin		44%		45%
Hotel EBITDA margin		37%		38%

Craven concluded, “For our 38 same-store hotels, our GOP margins only declined 40 basis points compared to the 2023 third quarter, encouraging given RevPAR growth of 1 percent. The main driver of this is moderating wage pressures and an efficient workforce. Our headcount is down approximately 1 percent from year-end. Reduced labor costs actually improved margins 10 basis points year-over-year, while increased benefits-related costs adversely impacted our margins by approximately 60 basis points. Encouragingly, we are hopeful based on preliminary estimates that employee benefits costs will be essentially flat next year for the first time in a long time.”

Corporate Update

The below chart summarizes key financial performance measures for the three months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023. Corporate EBITDA is calculated as hotel EBITDA minus cash corporate general and administrative expenses and is before debt service and capital expenditures. Debt service includes interest expense and principal amortization on its secured debt, as well as dividends on its preferred shares of $2.0 million per quarter. Cash flow before CapEx and common dividends is calculated as corporate EBITDA less debt service and preferred share dividends. Amounts are in millions, except RevPAR.

		Q3 2024		Q3 2023
RevPAR		$150		$148
Hotel EBITDA		$32.2		$32.8
Corporate EBITDA		$29.6		$30.6
Debt Service & Preferred dividends		$(10.2)		$(10.1)
Cash flow before CapEx and Common dividends		$19.4		$20.5

Capital Markets & Capital Structure

As of September 30, 2024, Chatham had net debt of $419 million (total consolidated debt less unrestricted cash). Total debt outstanding as of September 30, 2024, was $439 million at an average interest rate of 6.8 percent, comprised of $174 million of fixed-rate mortgage debt at an average interest rate of 6.7 percent, $140 million outstanding on its term loan at a rate of 6.9 percent and $125 million outstanding on the company's $260 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility at a rate of 6.9 percent. Based on the ratio of Chatham’s net debt to hotel investments at cost, the company's leverage ratio was approximately 24 percent.

“With only $30 million of maturing debt over the next year, leverage at our lowest levels in over a decade and proceeds from the sale of five hotels of approximately $80 million, we are well-positioned to capitalize on any meaningful opportunities that will add hotel EBITDA and FFO,” stated Jeremy Wegner, Chatham’s chief financial officer. “Additionally, with $265 million of floating rate debt, we will benefit from an expected declining interest rate environment. Based on outstanding debt as of September 30, 2024, for every 100 basis point decline in SOFR, our AFFO per share will increase $2.6 million or $0.05 per share.”

Hotel Investments

During the third quarter, the company invested capital expenditures of $6 million and approximately $25 million year-to-date. Chatham’s 2024 budget is approximately $37 million. A renovation of the Courtyard Dallas Addison commenced in July and was completed in the third quarter. A renovation of the SpringHill Suites Savannah commenced in August and will be completed in the fourth quarter. A renovation of the Residence Inn Bellevue, Wash., will commence in the fourth quarter and be completed in the 2025 first quarter. Additionally, the renovation of the Hilton Garden Inn Portsmouth, N.H., scheduled for early 2025, will commence in the 2024 fourth quarter.

Dividend

The Board of Trustees declared a preferred dividend of $0.41406 per share and a common dividend of $0.07 per share, payable October 15, 2024, to shareholders of record on September 30, 2024.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Included in this press release are certain “non-GAAP financial measures,” within the meaning of Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) rules and regulations, that are different from measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles). The company considers the following non-GAAP financial measures useful to investors as key supplemental measures of its operating performance: (1) FFO, (2) Adjusted FFO, (3) EBITDA, (4) EBITDAre, (5) Adjusted EBITDA, (6) Adjusted Hotel EBITDA, (7) Hotel EBITDA, (8) Hotel EBITDA Margin, (9) Corporate EBITDA and (10) Cash flow before CapEx and common dividends. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered along with, but not as alternatives to, net income or loss as prescribed by GAAP as a measure of its operating performance.

FFO As Defined by Nareit and Adjusted FFO

Chatham calculates FFO in accordance with standards established by the Nareit, which defines FFO as net income or loss (calculated in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains or losses from sales of real estate, impairment write-downs, the cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles, plus depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs), and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures following the same approach. Chatham believes that the presentation of FFO provides useful information to investors regarding its operating performance because it measures its performance without regard to specified non-cash items such as real estate depreciation and amortization, gain or loss on sale of real estate assets and certain other items that the company believes are not indicative of the property level performance of its hotel properties. Chatham believes that these items reflect historical cost of its asset base and its acquisition and disposition activities and are less reflective of its ongoing operations, and that by adjusting to exclude the effects of these items, FFO is useful to investors in comparing its operating performance between periods and between REITs that also report using the Nareit definition.

Chatham calculates Adjusted FFO by further adjusting FFO for certain additional items that are not addressed in Nareit’s definition of FFO, including other charges, losses on the early extinguishment of debt and similar items related to its unconsolidated real estate entities that it believes do not represent costs related to hotel operations. Chatham believes that Adjusted FFO provides investors with another financial measure that may facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods and between REITs that make similar adjustments to FFO.

EBITDA, EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA

Chatham calculates EBITDA for purposes of the credit facility debt as net income or loss excluding: (1) interest expense; (2) provision for income taxes, including income taxes applicable to sale of assets; (3) depreciation and amortization; and (4) unconsolidated real estate entity items including interest, depreciation and amortization excluding gains and losses from sales of real estate. Chatham believes EBITDA is useful to investors in evaluating and facilitating comparisons of its operating performance because it helps investors compare Chatham's operating performance between periods and between REITs by removing the impact of its capital structure (primarily interest expense) and asset base (primarily depreciation and amortization) from its operating results. In addition, Chatham uses EBITDA as one measure in determining the value of hotel acquisitions and dispositions. Chatham calculates EBITDAre in accordance with Nareit guidelines, which defines EBITDAre as net income or loss excluding interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization expense, gains or losses from sales of real estate, impairment, and adjustments for unconsolidated joint ventures. We believe that the presentation of EBITDAre provides useful information to investors regarding the Company's operating performance and can facilitate comparisons of performance between periods and between REITs.

Chatham calculates Adjusted EBITDA by further adjusting EBITDA for certain additional items, including other charges, losses on the early extinguishment of debt, amortization of non-cash share-based compensation and similar items related to its unconsolidated real estate entities, which it believes are not indicative of the performance of its underlying hotel properties entities. Chatham believes that Adjusted EBITDA provides investors with another financial measure that may facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods and between REITs that report similar measures.

Adjusted Hotel EBITDA is defined as net income before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, corporate general and administrative, impairment loss, loss on early extinguishment of debt, interest and other income and income or loss from unconsolidated real estate entities. Chatham presents Adjusted Hotel EBITDA because Chatham believes it is useful to investors in comparing its hotel operating performance between periods and comparing its Adjusted Hotel EBITDA to those of our peer companies. Adjusted Hotel EBITDA represents the results of operations for its wholly owned hotels only.

Although Chatham presents FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA, EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA because it believes they are useful to investors in comparing Chatham's operating performance between periods and between REITs that report similar measures, these measures have limitations as analytical tools. Some of these limitations are:

• FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA, EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA do not reflect the company’s cash expenditures, or future requirements, for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;
• FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA, EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, Chatham’s working capital needs;
• FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA, EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA do not reflect funds available to make cash distributions;
• EBITDA, EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA do not reflect the interest expense, or the cash requirements to service interest or principal payments, on Chatham’s debts;
• Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized may need future replacement, and FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA, EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA do not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements;
• Non-cash compensation is and will remain a key element of Chatham’s overall long-term incentive compensation package, although Chatham excludes it as an expense when evaluating its ongoing operating performance for a particular period using adjusted EBITDA;
• Adjusted FFO, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA do not reflect the impact of certain cash charges (including acquisition transaction costs) that result from matters Chatham considers not to be indicative of the underlying performance of its hotel properties; and
• Other companies in Chatham’s industry may calculate FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA, EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA differently than Chatham does, limiting their usefulness as a comparative measure.

In addition, FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA, EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA do not represent cash generated from operating activities as determined by GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to net income or loss, cash flows from operations or any other operating performance measure prescribed by GAAP. FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA, EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA are not measures of Chatham’s liquidity. Because of these limitations, FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA, EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Chatham compensates for these limitations by relying primarily on its GAAP results and using FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA, EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA only supplementally. Chatham’s consolidated financial statements and the notes to those statements included elsewhere are prepared in accordance with GAAP. Chatham’s reconciliation of FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA, EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA to net income attributable to common shareholders, as determined under GAAP, is set forth below.
