“2010 was a very successful year for our Company,” said Michael Barnello, President and Chief Executive Officer of LaSalle Hotel Properties. “The industry and our portfolio began to recover, our Company continued to deliver extraordinary hotel EBITDA margins and we substantially improved our portfolio by acquiring hotels that are consistent with our strategy and that we believe will create long term shareholder value and by exiting non-core markets and lower-performing assets. In addition, we were able to meaningfully increase the dividend in the third quarter of 2010.
We continued to opportunistically raise capital in 2010 with net proceeds of $109.2 million through our common equity offering in March and $74.9 million through our ATM program. To date in 2011, we have raised net proceeds of $66.4 million through our Series H preferred offering and $72.3 million through our ATM program.”
Balance Sheet
As of December 31, 2010, the Company had total outstanding debt of $808.6 million, including $120.2 million outstanding on its credit facilities. Total debt to trailing 12 month Corporate EBITDA (as defined in the Company’s senior unsecured credit facility) was 4.4 times as of December 31, 2010. For the year, the Company’s weighted average interest rate was 4.9 percent. As of December 31, 2010, based on the Company’s covenants under its senior unsecured credit facility, the Company’s EBITDA to interest coverage ratio was 4.7 times and its fixed charge coverage ratio was 2.3 times. At the end of 2010, the Company had $32.3 million of cash and cash equivalents on its balance sheet and an aggregate of $347.7 million available on its credit facilities.
Subsequent Events
On January 5, 2011, the Company announced that Mr. Bruce A. Riggins has been appointed Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer effective January 24, 2011. Mr. Riggins was previously Chief Financial Officer of Interstate Hotels & Resorts.

2011 Outlook
Based on the current economic environment and assuming that recent signs of economic recovery continue to improve, and assuming 2011 RevPAR growth of 6.0% to 8.0% compared to 2010, the Company’s 2011 outlook is as follows:
- Adjusted EBITDA of $192.0 to $202.0 million;

- Total capital investments of $65.0 million to $70.0 million;
- Non-cash income tax expense of $5.5 million to $7.5 million;

2011 First Quarter Outlook
Based on the portfolio’s performance the first two months of the quarter, the Company expects RevPAR to increase 5.0% to 7.0%, resulting in adjusted FFO of $7.2 million to $8.8 million, adjusted FFO per share of $0.10 per share to $0.12 per share and adjusted EBITDA of $22.0 million to $24.0 million for the first quarter. Both adjusted FFO and adjusted EBITDA for the quarter exclude the impact of approximately $0.6 million of costs associated with the departure of the previous CFO and $0.7 million of recognized issuance costs associated with the redemption of the Series B Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares.

| With respect to Hotel EBITDA, the Company believes that excluding the effect of corporate-level expenses, non-cash items, and the portion of these items related to unconsolidated entities, provides a more complete understanding of the operating results over which individual hotels and operators have direct control. We believe property-level results provide investors with supplemental information on the ongoing operational performance of our hotels and effectiveness of the third-party management companies operating our business on a property-level basis. |
| Hotel EBITDA includes the operating data for all properties owned by the Company as of February 23, 2011 for the three months and years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009. Hotel EBITDA includes adjustments made for presentation of comparable information. Both 2009 and 2010 exclude Westin City Center Dallas, Seaview Resort, Chamberlain West Hollywood, and Sheraton Bloomington. |

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
FFO, EBITDA and Hotel EBITDA
The Company considers the non-GAAP measures of FFO (including FFO per share), EBITDA and hotel EBITDA to be key supplemental measures of the Company's performance and should be considered along with, but not as alternatives to, net income or loss as a measure of the Company's operating performance. Historical cost accounting for real estate assets implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values instead have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, most real estate industry investors consider FFO, EBITDA and hotel EBITDA to be helpful in evaluating a real estate company's operations.
The White Paper on FFO approved by NAREIT in April 2002 defines FFO as net income or loss (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains or losses from sales of properties and items classified by GAAP as extraordinary, plus real estate-related depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred finance costs) and after comparable adjustments for the Company's portion of these items related to unconsolidated entities and joint ventures. The Company computes FFO consistent with standards established by NAREIT, which may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs that do not define the term in accordance with the current NAREIT definition or that interpret the current NAREIT definition differently than the Company.
With respect to FFO, the Company believes that excluding the effect of extraordinary items, real estate-related depreciation and amortization, and the portion of these items related to unconsolidated entities, all of which are based on historical cost accounting and which may be of limited significance in evaluating current performance, can facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods and between REITs, even though FFO does not represent an amount that accrues directly to common shareholders. However, FFO may not be helpful when comparing the Company to non-REITs.
With respect to EBITDA, the Company believes that excluding the effect of non-operating expenses and non-cash charges, and the portion of these items related to unconsolidated entities, all of which are also based on historical cost accounting and may be of limited significance in evaluating current performance, can help eliminate the accounting effects of depreciation and amortization, and financing decisions and facilitate comparisons of core operating profitability between periods and between REITs, even though EBITDA also does not represent an amount that accrues directly to common shareholders.
With respect to hotel EBITDA, the Company believes that excluding the effect of corporate-level expenses, non-cash items, and the portion of these items related to unconsolidated entities, provides a more complete understanding of the operating results over which individual hotels and operators have direct control. We believe property-level results provide investors with supplemental information on the ongoing operational performance of our hotels and effectiveness of the third-party management companies operating our business on a property-level basis.
FFO, EBITDA and hotel EBITDA do not represent cash generated from operating activities determined by GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to net income, cash flows from operations or any other operating performance measure prescribed by GAAP. FFO, EBITDA and hotel EBITDA are not measures of the Company's liquidity, nor are FFO, EBITDA and Hotel EBITDA indicative of funds available to fund the Company's cash needs, including its ability to make cash distributions. These measurements do not reflect cash expenditures for long-term assets and other items that have been and will be incurred. FFO, EBITDA and hotel 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 the Company's operating performance.
Adjusted FFO and Adjusted EBITDA
The Company presents adjusted FFO (including adjusted FFO per share) and adjusted EBITDA, which adjusts for certain additional items including gains on sale of property (to the extent included in FFO or EBITDA), impairment losses, acquisition transaction costs, costs associated with the departure of executive officers, costs associated with the recognition of issuance costs related to the calling of preferred shares and certain other items. The Company excludes these items as it believes it allows for meaningful comparisons among other REITs and between periods and is more indicative of the ongoing performance of its assets. As with FFO, EBITDA, and hotel EBITDA, the Company’s calculation of adjusted FFO and adjusted EBITDA may be different from similar adjusted measures calculated by other REITs.
