Outlook

For the Full Year 2011:

Macro-economic and geo-political environments remain uncertain. Booking windows, while improving, are short. We believe that several scenarios are possible. With low supply growth in developed markets and high demand growth in emerging markets, rate improvement will be the key driver of 2011 results. Based on trends to date, our outlook assumes a normal lodging recovery in 2011:

  • Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be approximately $975 million to $1 billion, assuming:
    • REVPAR increases at Same-Store Company Operated Hotels Worldwide of 7% to 9% in constant dollars (approximately 100 basis points higher in dollars at current exchange rates).
    • REVPAR increases at Branded Same-Store Owned Hotels Worldwide of 7% to 9% in constant dollars (approximately 100 basis points higher in dollars at current exchange rates).
    • Margin increases at Branded Same-Store Owned Hotels Worldwide of 150 to 200 basis points.
    • Management fees, franchise fees and other income increase of approximately 10% to 12%.
    • Operating income from our vacation ownership and residential business of approximately $125 million to $135 million.
    • Selling, General and Administrative expenses increase 2% to 3%.
  • Depreciation and amortization is expected to be approximately $325 million.
  • Interest Expense is expected to be approximately $245 million.
  • Full year effective tax rate is expected to be approximately 25%.
  • Assuming all of the above, EPS is expected to be approximately $1.55 to $1.65.
  • Full year capital expenditure (excluding vacation ownership and residential inventory) is expected to be approximately $300 million for maintenance, renovation and technology. In addition, in-flight investment projects and prior commitments for joint ventures and other investments are expected to total approximately $150 million. Vacation ownership (excluding Bal Harbour) is expected to generate approximately $165 million in positive cash flow.
  • The Company currently expects closings on Bal Harbour residential units to commence in late Q4 2011. The Company’s current outlook does not include any revenue recognition or cash flows associated with these potential closings. The Company does, however, expect there to be revenue recognition and cash flows from closings in Q4 2011 and the Company will provide updates as the year progresses. Bal Harbour capital expenditure for 2011 is expected to be approximately $150 million.

For the three months ended March 31, 2011:

  • Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be approximately $195 million to $205 million, assuming:
    • REVPAR increases at Same-Store Company Operated Hotels Worldwide of 8% to 10% in constant dollars (approximately 100 basis points higher in dollars at current exchange rates).
    • REVPAR increases at Branded Same-Store Owned Hotels Worldwide of 8% to 10% in constant dollars (approximately 100 basis points higher in dollars at current exchange rates).
    • Management fees, franchise fees and other income increase of approximately 12% to 14%.
    • Operating income from our vacation ownership and residential business of approximately $30 million to $35 million.
  • Depreciation and amortization is expected to be approximately $78 million.
  • Interest Expense is expected to be approximately $60 million.
  • Income from continuing operations is expected to be approximately $43 million to $51 million, reflecting an effective tax rate of approximately 25%.
  • Assuming all of the above, EPS is expected to be approximately $0.22 to $0.26.

Special Items

The Company’s special items netted to a benefit of $69 million ($107 million after-tax) in the fourth quarter of 2010 compared to a $431 million charge ($281 million after-tax) in the same period of 2009.

The Company has included the above supplemental information concerning special items to assist investors in analyzing Starwood’s financial position and results of operations. The Company has chosen to provide this information to investors to enable them to perform meaningful comparisons of past, present and future operating results and as a means to emphasize the results of core on-going operations.

Starwood will be conducting a conference call to discuss the fourth quarter financial results at 10:30 a.m. (EST) today at (706) 758-8744. The conference call will be available through a simultaneous web cast in the Investor Relations/Press Releases section of the Company’s website at http://www.starwoodhotels.com.

Definitions

All references to EPS, unless otherwise noted, reflect earnings per diluted share from continuing operations attributable to Starwood’s common shareholders. All references to continuing operations, discontinued operations and net income reflect amounts attributable to Starwood’s common shareholders (i.e. excluding amounts attributable to noncontrolling interests). All references to “net capital expenditures” mean gross capital expenditures for timeshare and fractional inventory net of cost of sales. EBITDA represents net income before interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization. The Company believes that EBITDA is a useful measure of the Company’s operating performance due to the significance of the Company’s long-lived assets and level of indebtedness. EBITDA is a commonly used measure of performance in its industry which, when considered with GAAP measures, the Company believes gives a more complete understanding of the Company’s operating performance. It also facilitates comparisons between the Company and its competitors. The Company’s management has historically adjusted EBITDA (i.e., “Adjusted EBITDA”) when evaluating operating performance for the total Company as well as for individual properties or groups of properties because the Company believes that the inclusion or exclusion of certain recurring and non-recurring items, such as restructuring, goodwill impairment and other special charges and gains and losses on asset dispositions and impairments, is necessary to provide the most accurate measure of core operating results and as a means to evaluate comparative results. The Company’s management also uses Adjusted EBITDA as a measure in determining the value of acquisitions and dispositions and it is used in the annual budget process. The Company has historically reported this measure to its investors and believes that the continued inclusion of Adjusted EBITDA provides consistency in its financial reporting and enables investors to perform more meaningful comparisons of past, present and future operating results and provides a means to evaluate the results of its core on-going operations. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not intended to represent cash flow from operations as defined by GAAP and such metrics should not be considered as an alternative to net income, cash flow from operations or any other performance measure prescribed by GAAP. The Company’s calculation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may be different from the calculations used by other companies and, therefore, comparability may be limited.

All references to Same-Store Owned Hotels reflect the Company’s owned, leased and consolidated joint venture hotels, excluding condo hotels, hotels sold to date and hotels undergoing significant repositionings or for which comparable results are not available (i.e., hotels not owned during the entire periods presented or closed due to seasonality or natural disasters). References to Company Operated Hotel metrics (e.g. REVPAR) reflect metrics for the Company’s owned and managed hotels. References to System-Wide metrics (e.g. REVPAR) reflect metrics for the Company’s owned, managed and franchised hotels. REVPAR is defined as revenue per available room. ADR is defined as average daily rate.

All references to revenues in constant dollars represents revenues, excluding the impact of the movement of foreign exchange rates. The Company calculates revenues in constant dollars by calculating revenues for the current year using the prior year’s exchange rates. The Company uses this revenue measure to better understand the underlying results and trends of the business, excluding the impact of movements in foreign exchange rates.

All references to contract sales or originated sales reflect vacation ownership sales before revenue adjustments for percentage of completion accounting methodology.

All references to management and franchise revenues represent base and incentive fees, franchise fees, amortization of deferred gains resulting from the sales of hotels subject to long-term management contracts and termination fees.

(1) Lockoff units are considered as one unit for this analysis.
(2) Includes resorts in operation, active sales or future development.
(3) Completed units include those units that have a certificate of occupancy.
(4) Units in Pre-sales/Development are in various stages of development (including the permitting stage), most of which are currently being offered for sale to customers.
(5) Based on owned land and average density in existing marketplaces.

(6) Future units indicated above include planned timeshare units on land owned by the Company or applicable UJV that have received all major governmental land use approvals for the development of timeshare. There can be no assurance that such units will in fact be developed and, if developed, the time period of such development (which may be more than several years in the future). Some of the projects may require additional third-party approvals or permits for development and build out and may also be subject to legal challenges as well as a commitment of capital by the Company. The actual number of units to be constructed may be significantly lower than the number of future units indicated.
