(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, 2021.

• Q4 2021 consolidated Adjusted EBITDAre of $85.6 million driven by strong leisure occupancy and ADR.
• Despite larger than expected group cancellations driven by Delta and Omicron variants, occupancy for the Hospitality segment was 53.0% in Q4 2021, with nearly 236,000 group room nights traveling during the quarter representing 46.4% of total occupancy.
• The Company collected $20.5 million in cancellation and attrition fees in Q4 2021 bringing full year collections to $48.5 million.
• Strong ADR performance across our five Gaylord Hotels, with ADR reaching almost $247 per night in Q4 2021, an increase of 17.7% compared to the Q4 2020 and 19.6% compared to Q4 2019.

• Today the Company expanded its Board of Directors to 10 members and appointed Michael Roth and Mark Fioravanti to the Board.

Colin Reed, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Ryman Hospitality Properties, said, “We believe that our fourth quarter and full year performance has demonstrated once again that we have built a powerful and nimble business positioned to thrive in the face of uncertainty. While the Delta and Omicron variants created headwinds, we are pleased to note improvement in group travel as compared to 2020 and encouraging trends for future periods as national health conditions improve. Leisure demand was a bright spot throughout the year for our hospitality and entertainment businesses and contributed to full year results that exceeded our internal expectations. The significant capital investments we have made across our hotel portfolio over the last several years in upscale amenities and unique leisure offerings, such as our world-class SoundWaves resort amenity, have created additional growth opportunities and further differentiate our product versus the competition allowing us to sustain continued rate growth by delivering added value to our customers. Despite experiencing occupancy levels well below 2019 levels for the same period, our hotel operators delivered impressive Adjusted EBITDAre performance, thanks in part to the flexibility of our unique model.”

Despite pandemic uncertainty, we doubled down on our strategy to communicate and connect with country lifestyle consumers, both digitally through our content and physically through unique assets in tourist-driven markets. Our previously announced Block 21 acquisition is on track to close by the end of Q1 2022, subject to the timely satisfaction or waiver of various closing conditions, including the consent of the loan servicer to the assumption of the existing mortgage loan, the consent of the hotel operator, an affiliate of Marriott, to the assumption of the hotel operating agreement by an affiliate of the Company, the absence of a material adverse effect, and other customary closing conditions. Our planned Ole Red Las Vegas expansion remains on pace for an expected late 2023 opening.”

	(1) Total COVID-19 related costs were approximately $0.6 million during the twelve months ended December 31, 2020, and consisted primarily of wages and benefits costs for furloughed employees.

The increase in Corporate and Other Segment Operating Loss and decrease in Adjusted EBITDAre for the 2021 periods resulted from an increase in administrative and employment costs associated with the hiring of additional employees and increased wages to support the Company’s growth.

Reed concluded, “As we approach the two-year anniversary of the near-total shutdown of our businesses due to the COVID-19 pandemic, I am pleased to see that our team remains focused on the future. We have continued to invest in our people and portfolio, and we will emerge a stronger and more resilient company than ever before. I want to thank our management team, our employees, our artists, and our partners at Marriott for the tremendous effort in 2021. We enter 2022 in a position of strength, and this one-of-a-kind business is well-positioned for the future.

I am excited to welcome Michael Roth back to our Board after a one-year absence. He is a trusted advisor and brings both experience and institutional knowledge of our Company at an important time as we chart the next phase of our growth. I am equally excited to have Mark Fioravanti join our Board. Mark has played a central role in creating the strategic direction of this company for nearly 20 years. Under his prudent financial leadership, we have created a thriving business with a healthy balance sheet that has allowed us to invest in our future and create tremendous shareholder value. Mark has been a key advisor to me and our Board for many years. I have great confidence that his direct influence will serve us well as we continue our next phases of growth in the years ahead.”

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, Total RevPAR, and Occupancy
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 and twelve months ended December 31, 2021, and 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 Gaylord National, which reopened July 1, 2021, and reopening under capacity restrictions has resulted in the significant decrease in performance reflected in these metrics for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2021, and 2020 as compared to historical periods. Occupancy figures reflect an additional 302 rooms available at Gaylord Palms beginning in June 2021.

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 Venture 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.
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 venture; and
• any other adjustments we have identified herein.
  

We then exclude noncontrolling interests in consolidated joint venture 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 and segment or property-level EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre 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 or operating income, as applicable, 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.

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.

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 venture attributable to noncontrolling interest, and pro rata adjustments for unconsolidated joint venture.
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 venture;
• (gains) losses on other assets;
• transaction costs on acquisitions;
• deferred income tax expense (benefit); and
• any other adjustments we have identified herein.
  

To calculate 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 unit 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 in prior periods.

We believe that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures provides 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.
