Quarterly Report
You should read the discussion below in conjunction with the unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes, set forth in "Item I.
Financial Statements" included in this Form 10-Q. Also, the discussion which
follows contains forward-looking statements which involve risks and
uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated
in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including
those discussed in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008. The terms
"Company", "we", "us" and "our" mean Lodgian and its wholly owned subsidiaries.
Executive Overview
We are one of the largest independent hotel owners and operators in the United
States in terms of our number of guest rooms, according to Hotel Business. We
are considered an independent owner and operator because we do not operate our
hotels under our own name. We operate substantially all of our hotels under
nationally recognized brands, such as "Crowne Plaza", "Four Points by Sheraton",
"Hilton", "Holiday Inn", "Marriott" and "Wyndham". Our hotels are primarily
full-service properties that offer food and beverage services, meeting space and
banquet facilities and compete in the midscale, upscale and upper upscale market
segments of the lodging industry. We believe that these strong national brands
afford us many benefits such as guest loyalty and market share premiums.
As of June 30, 2009, we operated 38 hotels with an aggregate of 7,079 rooms,
located in 22 states. Of the 38 hotels, 36 hotels, with an aggregate of 6,789
rooms, were held for use, while 2 hotels with an aggregate of 290 rooms, were
held for sale. We consolidated all of these hotels in our financial statements.
All of our hotels were wholly-owned and operated through subsidiaries, except
for one hotel that we operated in a joint venture in the form of a limited
partnership, in which a Lodgian subsidiary served as the general partner, had a
51% voting interest and exercised significant control.
As of June 30, 2009, we operated all but one of our hotels under franchises
obtained from nationally recognized hospitality franchisors. We operated 18
hotels under franchises obtained from InterContinental Hotels Group ("IHG") as
franchisor of the Crowne Plaza, Holiday Inn and Holiday Inn Express brands. We
operated 12 hotels under franchises from Marriott International as franchisor of
the Marriott, Courtyard by Marriott, Fairfield Inn by Marriott, Springhill
Suites by Marriott, and Residence Inn by Marriott brands. We operated an
additional seven hotels under other nationally recognized brands.
Overview of Continuing Operations
Below is an overview of our results of operations for the three months ended
June 30, 2009 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2008, which are
presented in more detail in "Results of Operations - Continuing Operations:"
• Second quarter revenues decreased $13.0 million or 19.2%. Rooms revenues
decreased $9.9 million, or 19.8%, as occupancy and average daily rate
decreased 12.4% and 8.4%, respectively. Food and beverage revenues declined
$2.9 million, driven largely by fewer banquets and lower occupancy.
• Operating income decreased $6.7 million to a loss of $1.8 million. We realized the benefits of several cost containment initiatives as total operating expenses decreased $6.3 million, or 10.0%. However, these initiatives did not fully offset the $13.0 million decline in revenues since many of our operating costs are fixed in nature.
Overview of Discontinued Operations
The Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for discontinued operations
for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 include the results of
operations for the two hotels classified as held for sale at June 30, 2009, as
well as all properties that have been sold in accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment
or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" ("SFAS No. 144").
The assets held for sale at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 and the
liabilities related to these assets are separately disclosed in the Condensed
Consolidated Balance Sheets. Among other criteria, we classify an asset as held
for sale if we expect to dispose of it within one year, we have initiated an
active marketing plan to sell the asset at a reasonable price and it is unlikely
that significant changes to the plan to sell the asset will be made. While we
believe that the completion of these dispositions is probable, the sale of these
assets is subject to market conditions and we cannot provide assurance that we
will finalize the sale of all or any of these assets on favorable terms or at
all. We believe that all our held for sale assets as of June 30, 2009 remain
properly classified in accordance with SFAS No. 144.
In June 2009, we reclassified the Holiday Inn Phoenix West, AZ from held for
sale to held for use. As discussed in Note 7, we intend to surrender the hotel
to the lender as we believe the hotel is currently worth less than the mortgage
debt encumbering the hotel. Since we no longer intend to sell this hotel, it
does not meet the criteria for classification as held for sale. We recorded a
$3.1 million
impairment charge upon reclassification to write down the book value of the
hotel to its estimated fair value. This charge is included in (Loss) income from
continuing operations in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statement of
Operations.
Our continuing operations reflect the results of operations of those hotels
which we are likely to retain in our portfolio for the foreseeable future, as
well as those assets which do not currently meet the held for sale criteria in
SFAS No. 144. We periodically evaluate the assets in our portfolio to ensure
they continue to meet our performance objectives. Accordingly, from time to
time, we could identify other assets for disposition.
Where the carrying values of the assets held for sale exceeded the estimated
fair values, net of selling costs, we reduced the carrying values and recorded
impairment charges. During the three months ended June 30, 2009, we recorded
impairment charges of $3.7 million on assets held for sale.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP. As we prepare our
financial statements, we make estimates and assumptions which affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of
revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ
from our estimates. These financial statements have been prepared on a going
concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction
of liabilities in the normal course of business. However, approximately
$120 million of outstanding mortgage debt was scheduled to mature in July 2009
and the current severe economic recession has negatively impacted our operating
results, which affects operating cash flows as well as our ability to refinance
the maturing indebtedness. The $120 million of mortgage indebtedness, which was
originated in June 2004 by Merrill Lynch and securitized in the collateralized
mortgage-backed securities market, was divided into three pools of indebtedness
referred by the Company as the Merrill Lynch Fixed Rate Pools 1, 3 and 4 ("Pool
1", "Pool 3" and "Pool 4", respectively). We have reached agreements with the
special servicers of Pools 1 and 4 to extend the maturity dates to July 1, 2010
and July 1, 2012, respectively, and have already begun the process of
refinancing Pool 1 in anticipation of the 2010 maturity date. However,
management can provide no assurance that the Company will be able to refinance
Pool 1. We have entered into an agreement to extend the maturity date of Pool 3
to October 1, 2009 and management and the special servicer are in negotiations
concerning a longer-term maturity extension for Pool 3. However, we can provide
no assurance that we will be able to refinance or extend Pool 3. In the event
that we are unable to achieve a long-term extension of Pool 3, we expect that
anticipated cash flow from the hotels securing Pool 3 may not be sufficient to
meet the related debt service obligations in the near-term. Accordingly, it may
be necessary to transfer the properties securing Pool 3 to the lender in
satisfaction of the mortgage obligations. Because of the anticipated cash flow
shortfall, management does not believe that surrendering the hotels to the
lender will have a material adverse effect on cash flows. In the absence of an
extension, refinancing or repayment of Pool 1 and Pool 3, these factors raise
substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. The
financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the
recoverability and classifications of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and
classifications of liabilities or any other adjustments that may be necessary if
we are unable to continue as a going concern.
A summary of our significant accounting policies is included in Note 1 of the
Notes to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 ("Form 10-K"). In addition, our
critical accounting policies and estimates are discussed in Item 7 of our Form
10-K, and we believe no material changes have occurred, except as discussed
below.
In December 2007, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 160, "Noncontrolling
Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements - An Amendment of ARB No. 51"
("SFAS No. 160"), which is an amendment to ARB No. 51 "Consolidated Financial
Statements". SFAS No. 160 establishes new accounting and reporting standards for
the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a
subsidiary. Specifically, this statement requires the recognition of a
noncontrolling interest (minority interest) as equity in the consolidated
financial statements and separate from the parent's equity. The amount of net
income attributable to the noncontrolling interest will be included in
consolidated net income on the face of the income statement. SFAS No. 160
clarifies that changes in a parent's ownership interest in a subsidiary that do
not result in deconsolidation are equity transactions if the parent retains its
controlling financial interest. In addition, this statement requires that a
parent recognize a gain or loss in net income when a subsidiary is
deconsolidated. Such gain or loss will be measured using the fair value of the
noncontrolling equity investment on the deconsolidation date. SFAS No. 160 also
includes expanded disclosure requirements regarding the interests of the parent
and its noncontrolling interest. SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years, and
interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15,
2008. The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 160 on January 1, 2009. As
a result of the adoption, the Company recorded noncontrolling interest as a
component of equity in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and Condensed
Consolidated Statements of Stockholders' Equity, and the net loss attributable
to noncontrolling interests has been separately recorded in the Condensed
Consolidated Statement of Operations.
The following table illustrates the effect (in thousands, except per share
amounts) on net income and earnings per share for the three and six months ended
June 30, 2008 as if the provisions of SFAS No. 160 were applied:
