Excluding special items, EPS from continuing operations was $0.70 for the fourth quarter of 2012 compared to $0.71 in the fourth quarter of 2011. Special items in the fourth quarter of 2012, which totaled a charge of $72 million (after-tax), included a pre-tax charge of $113 million primarily related to tender premiums associated with the early redemption of $725 million senior notes with maturities ranging between 2014 and 2019 as well as pre-tax charges of $14 million associated with the impairment of certain hotels and investments. Special items in the fourth quarter of 2011, which totaled a credit of $18 million (after-tax), included a pre-tax charge of approximately $70 million related to an unfavorable legal decision, a pre-tax charge of $14 million related to certain hotel impairments and a pre-tax charge of $16 million related to costs associated with the early redemption of $605 million of senior notes. Special items in the fourth quarter of 2011 also included an income tax benefit of $116 million, primarily associated with the utilization of capital losses which had previously been fully reserved. Excluding special items, the effective income tax rate in the fourth quarter of 2012 was 35.7% compared to 28.3% in the fourth quarter of 2011.

Income from continuing operations was $65 million in the fourth quarter of 2012, compared to $158 million in the fourth quarter of 2011. Excluding special items, income from continuing operations was $137 million in the fourth quarter of 2012.

Frits van Paasschen, CEO, said, “We are happy to report strong results for the fourth quarter and full year 2012. All four key drivers of value performed well. We held our costs in check for the fourth year in a row, grew our footprint with quality hotels and contracts, sustained high REVPAR and occupancies in an uncertain environment, and we realized great value from real estate sales.”

“Our balance sheet has never been stronger in the history of the company. In December, we issued 10-year senior notes at 3.125%, what we believe to be the lowest rate ever by a U.S. lodging company for publicly traded 10-year notes. During 2012, we returned over half a billion dollars of capital to shareholders. We increased our dividend by 150%, and repurchased 6.3 million shares for $320 million. Going forward, we will deploy capital by reinvesting in our business and by returning cash to shareholders through dividends and stock repurchases.”

“The year looks to be somewhat stronger than 2012, as the uncertainty we saw in major world economies is showing signs of giving way to stronger demand growth. Beyond next year into the foreseeable future, we are bullish about the long-term outlook on the global high-end lodging industry. We are poised to benefit from higher rates in North America and Europe where demand is growing but supply is already short. Even more important, the dramatic economic growth in Asia, Latin America, Middle East and Africa is fueling demand for our brands worldwide.”

Outlook

We continue to operate in an uncertain world. Macroeconomic indicators are trending positively as we enter 2013. However, macroeconomic and geopolitical “tail risks,” though lower, persist. We remain of the view that several scenarios could play out. Our outlook below reflects our baseline scenario for the full year 2013:

Including Bal Harbour, which is expected to contribute approximately $50 million of EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA is expected to be approximately $1.165 billion to $1.190 billion (based on the assumptions below).

  • Excluding Bal Harbour, adjusted EBITDA is expected to be approximately $1.115 billion to $1.140 billion, assuming:
    • REVPAR increases at Same-Store Company-Operated Hotels Worldwide of 5% to 7% in constant and actual dollars.
    • REVPAR increases at Same-Store Owned Hotels Worldwide of 3% to 6% in constant and actual dollars.
    • Margins at Same-Store Owned Hotels Worldwide increase 50 to 100 basis points.
    • Management fees, franchise fees and other income increase approximately 9% to 11%.
    • Earnings from the Company’s vacation ownership and residential business of approximately $160 million to $165 million.
    • Selling, general and administrative expenses increase approximately 3% to 5%.
  • Full year owned earnings are negatively impacted by approximately $25 million due to recent asset sales.
  • Depreciation and amortization is expected to be approximately $300 million.
  • Interest expense is expected to be approximately $125 million.
  • Full year effective tax rate is expected to be approximately 32%, and cash taxes are expected to be approximately $100 million.
  • Including Bal Harbour, EPS before special items is expected to be approximately $2.59 to $2.68 (based on the assumptions above).
  • Full year capital expenditures (excluding vacation ownership and residential inventory) is expected to be approximately $200 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 $350 million.
  • Vacation ownership (excluding Bal Harbour) is expected to generate approximately $150 million in positive cash flow. Bal Harbour is expected to generate at least $100 million in net cash flow.

For the three months ended March 31, 2013:

  • Including Bal Harbour, which is expected to contribute approximately $20 million of EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA is expected to be approximately $250 million to $260 million (based on the assumptions below).
  • Excluding Bal Harbour, adjusted EBITDA is expected to be approximately $230 million to $240 million, assuming:
    • REVPAR increases at Same-Store Company-Operated Hotels Worldwide of 4% to 6% in constant dollars (approximately 50 basis points lower in actual dollars at current exchange rates), impacted by holiday shift.
    • REVPAR increases at Same-Store Company Owned Hotels Worldwide of 3% to 5% in constant dollars (approximately 50 basis points lower in actual dollars at current exchange rates).
    • Management fees, franchise fees and other income increase approximately 7% to 9%.
    • Earnings from the Company’s vacation ownership and residential business are flat to up approximately $5 million year over year.
  • Depreciation and amortization is expected to be approximately $73 million.
  • Interest expense is expected to be approximately $32 million.

Definitions

All references to EPS, unless otherwise noted, reflect earnings per diluted share from continuing operations attributable to Starwood’s common stockholders. All references to continuing operations, discontinued operations and net income reflect amounts attributable to Starwood’s common stockholders (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 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, leased and managed hotels. References to Systemwide 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 represent 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 earnings from vacation ownership and residential represents operating income before depreciation expense. 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.

Note: This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of federal securities regulations. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated at the time the forward-looking statements are made. Further results, performance and achievements may be affected by general economic conditions including the impact of war and terrorist activity, natural disasters, business and financing conditions (including the condition of credit markets in the U.S. and internationally), foreign exchange fluctuations, cyclicality of the real estate (including residential) and the hotel and vacation ownership businesses, operating risks associated with the hotel, vacation ownership and residential businesses, relationships with associates and labor unions, customers and property owners, the impact of the internet reservation channels, our reliance on technology, domestic and international political and geopolitical conditions, competition, governmental and regulatory actions (including the impact of changes in U.S. and foreign tax laws and their interpretation), travelers’ fears of exposure to contagious diseases, risk associated with the level of our indebtedness, risk associated with potential acquisitions and dispositions and the introduction of new brand concepts and other risks and uncertainties. These risks and uncertainties are presented in detail in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Future vacation ownership units indicated in this press release include planned units on land owned by the Company or by joint ventures in which the Company has an interest that have received all major governmental land use approvals for the development of vacation ownership resorts. There can also 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. There can also be no assurance that agreements will be entered into for the hotels in the Company’s pipeline and, if entered into, the timing of any agreement and the opening of the related hotel. Although we believe the expectations reflected in forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions, we can give no assurance that our expectations will be attained or that results will not materially differ. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
