Monday November 3, 2008 4:05 pm ET

NORFOLK, NE--(MARKET WIRE)--Nov 3, 2008 -- Supertel Hospitality, Inc. (NasdaqGM:SPPR - News), a real estate investment trust (REIT) which owns 125 hotels in 24 states, today announced results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2008.

Revenues for the 2008 third quarter rose 3.3 percent to $35.2 million, compared to the 2007 third quarter. Net income available to common shareholders in the 2008 third quarter was $1.7 million, or $0.08 per fully diluted share, compared to $2.3 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, in the 2007 third quarter.

Funds from operations (FFO) in the 2008 third quarter was $5.5 million, or $0.26 per diluted share, equal to FFO results for the 2007 third quarter. Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, minority interest and preferred stock dividends (Adjusted EBITDA) decreased 3.9 percent to $9.6 million compared to 2007 third quarter.

Third Quarter Highlights

 
--  Instituted a dividend reinvestment plan, which provides stockholders
    with the opportunity to reinvest all or a portion of the cash dividends
    paid on shares of common and preferred stock in additional shares of common
    stock.

--  Declared a third quarter common stock dividend of $0.1275 per share,
    an increase of $0.0025 from the dividend declared for the third quarter
    ended September 30, 2007 of $0.1250 per share.

Operating Results

"The difficulties in the credit markets, a softening economy and a growing apprehension among consumers impacted the lodging industry in the third quarter," said Paul J. Schulte, Supertel's chairman, president and CEO. "The geographic diversity of our portfolio spread across 24 states helped reduce the impact of any one region. Some regions experienced an increase in revenue per available room (RevPAR), while others posted a decline.

"In the third quarter, RevPAR for our same store portfolio, which spans seven regions, declined 3.9 percent. This overall decline in same store RevPAR was significantly impacted by our 43 properties located in the South Atlantic region -- eight states including Florida and Georgia -- which experienced a RevPAR decline of 11.0 percent. Our total portfolio reported a 3.6 percent downturn in RevPAR. Diluted FFO per share remained constant on a year-over-year comparison basis, primarily as a result of our operators' emphasis on cost controls.

"All three segments of our portfolio experienced a downturn in the third quarter, reflecting the negative economic conditions," Schulte added. "Our 76 same store economy hotels, which account for about two-thirds of our same store portfolio, performed comparably to the economy segment industrywide. Our economy hotels' RevPAR declined 1.9 percent, with average daily rate (ADR) improving 0.4 percent, and occupancy declining by 2.2 percent."

The company's 31 same store midscale without food and beverage properties' RevPAR declined 5.2 percent, with ADR down 1.4 percent and occupancy off 3.8 percent. The company's eight extended-stay properties reported a 14.9 percent decline in RevPAR, reflecting an 11.7 percent decrease in occupancy and a 3.6 percent drop in ADR.

RevPAR for the company's total portfolio in the third quarter was down 3.6 percent, due primarily to a 4.5 percent decline in occupancy.

"It was a challenging quarter for the economy and the hotel industry," he noted. "We attribute most of the RevPAR decline to a softening in business travel, especially construction-related workers, which has been a particularly strong guest group at our extended stay and Masters Inn hotels. The construction industry has pulled back sharply in response to the economic downturn and difficult credit market conditions. We are marketing aggressively to replace that business as quickly as possible.

"We continue to work closely with our operators to find new ways to build top line revenues, while holding down costs," Schulte remarked. "Our operators continue to make progress in controlling variable labor costs, although in a declining revenue environment, fixed labor costs generally will result in lower operating margins. Energy costs remain a challenge, but we are aggressively addressing those issues and anticipate that the recent decline in oil prices will have some positive impact on those costs."

Revenues for the 2008 third quarter increased $1.1 million or 3.3 percent to $35.2 million, compared to the 2007 third quarter. Of this, $2.5 million was due to the increase in revenue from acquisitions. The offsetting ($1.4) million was due to a decrease in revenue from the same store portfolio. Hotel and property operations expense for the 2008 third quarter increased $1.5 million or 6.4 percent to $24.6 million, compared to the 2007 third quarter. Of this, $1.7 million was from hotels added after the second quarter of 2007, with the offsetting ($0.2) million being due to a decrease in operations expense from the same store portfolio.

Interest expense decreased $0.4 million, compared to the year-ago period. The reduction was primarily due to the payoff of a bridge loan, using the proceeds from an offering of Preferred B stock plus additional cash. Lower interest rates on the revolving lines of credit also contributed to the decrease. Depreciation and amortization expense increased $0.6 million for the 2008 third quarter, compared to the year ago period. This is primarily related to hotel acquisitions, as well as asset additions for the other hotels outpacing the amount of assets exceeding their useful life. The general and administrative expenses for the same period did not experience a material change.

Property operating income (POI), defined as revenue from room rentals and other hotel services less hotel and property operating expenses, decreased by $0.4 million from the year ago period as evidenced by a decrease in operating margins to 30.0 percent in the 2008 third quarter from 32.1 percent in the 2007 third quarter.

Balance Sheet

"Our outstanding mortgage debt as of September 30, 2008 was $210.1 million," said Donavon A. Heimes, chief financial officer. "All of our debt is secured by real estate assets. We communicate regularly with our lenders and we are in compliance with the financial covenants of all of our lenders as of September 30, 2008. We are in final negotiations to renew on reasonable terms the $34 million debt facility which matures in February 2009 and expect to conclude that transaction within the next several weeks. We also expect to retire, renew or replace all of the other mortgage and credit facilities which mature in 2009.

"We have been approached by buyer candidates who have expressed interest in several of our hotels and some sales may occur in future months and quarters. The proceeds of any hotel sales will first pay off the hotels' direct mortgage debt with the balance being applied against our revolving credit facilities."

Heimes added, "Since January 1, 2007 the company has acquired 37 hotels, most of which required some additional capital expenditures. Those expenditures coupled with our normal and ongoing capital expenditures in 2007 amounted to 9.8 percent of revenues and we are on track for a slightly less but similar percentage in 2008. The company estimates the capital expenditures for its hotels in 2009 will be significantly reduced to approximately 4.5 percent of revenues, which is more in line with historic industry levels."

Dividend

Supertel paid a third quarter common stock dividend of $0.12 3/4 per share on October 31, 2008 to common shareholders of record on September 30, 2008. The payment reflects a 2.0 percent increase over the 2007 third quarter dividend. In accordance with its policy, the company will continue to evaluate its common stock dividend on a quarterly basis.

Outlook

"At this time, the financial markets are in turmoil, and no one seems to have a handle on the economy," Schulte said. "We expect the next several quarters will be challenging as the markets attempt to stabilize. We have been through a number of economic cycles as hoteliers and believe we are in a solid position to perform competitively in this environment. We have spent the past 12 months working very closely with our operators to lower costs in anticipation of a slowing economy.

"We are fortunate that our hotels are in good physical condition and are well managed. Travelers tend to seek value in these kinds of economic conditions, and our goal is to capture a larger share of those travelers and then retain them as the economy recovers," he commented.

"We expect to see a particularly active hotel real estate market in the next six to 12 months," he added. "We expect that many hotels may come to market over the next year as hotel loans come due and owners are unable or unwilling to refinance them. This will provide opportunities for hoteliers to redeploy some capital and reposition their portfolio. Strong properties will continue to fetch top dollar. However, with the capital markets in disarray, debt and equity financing will be a challenge to put together for acquisitions. We will continue to carefully evaluate and discuss both buying and selling opportunities and plan to take advantage of things that come our way that are consistent with our objectives and make good economic sense.

"We remain concerned about the relatively high level of new supply coming on line at this phase of the economic cycle but are encouraged by a recent Lodging Econometrics report that indicates the development pipeline has begun to contract noticeably," he added. "While we expect that short term, new supply will be disproportionately high, the slowdown in development and resulting reduction in overall new supply in the longer term should stabilize our industry and help to accelerate a recovery."

FFO is a financial measure that is not calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). We consider FFO to be a market accepted measure of an equity REIT's operating performance, which is necessary, along with net earnings (loss), for an understanding of our operating results. FFO, as defined under the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT) standards, consists of net income computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains (or losses) from sales of real estate assets, plus depreciation and amortization of real estate assets. We believe our method of calculating FFO complies with the NAREIT definition. FFO does not represent amounts available for management's discretionary use because of needed capital replacement or expansion, debt service obligations, or other commitments and uncertainties. FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP) as an indicator of our liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to pay dividends or make distributions. All REITs do not calculate FFO in the same manner; therefore, our calculation may not be the same as the calculation of FFO for similar REITs.

We use FFO as a performance measure to facilitate a periodic evaluation of our operating results relative to those of our peers, who, like us, are typically members of NAREIT. We consider FFO a useful additional measure of performance for an equity REIT because it facilitates an understanding of the operating performance of our properties without giving effect to real estate depreciation and amortization, which assume that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, we believe that FFO provides a meaningful indication of our performance.

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. We calculate Adjusted EBITDA by adding back to net earnings (loss) available to common shareholders certain non-operating expenses and non-cash charges which are based on historical cost accounting and we believe may be of limited significance in evaluating current performance. We believe these adjustments can help eliminate the accounting effects of depreciation and amortization and financing decisions and facilitate comparisons of core operating profitability between periods, even though Adjusted EBITDA also does not represent an amount that accrues directly to common shareholders. In calculating Adjusted EBITDA, we also add back preferred stock dividends, which are a cash charge.

Adjusted EBITDA doesn't represent cash generated from operating activities determined by GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income, cash flow from operations or any other operating performance measure prescribed by GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of our liquidity, nor is Adjusted EBITDA indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to make cash distributions. Neither measurement reflects cash expenditures for long-term assets and other items that have been and will be incurred. Adjusted EBITDA may include funds that may not be available for management's discretionary use due to functional requirements to conserve funds for capital expenditures, property acquisitions, and other commitments and uncertainties. To compensate for this, management considers the impact of these excluded items to the extent they are material to operating decisions or the evaluation of our operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA, as presented, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

The following table sets forth the operations of the Company's hotel properties for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The Company owned 125 and 115 hotels at September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. This presentation includes non-GAAP financial measures. The Company believes that the presentation of hotel property operating results (POI) is helpful to investors, and represents a more useful description of its core operations, as it better communicates the comparability of its hotels' operating results.
