$90.0 Million Sale Price is Expected to Produce a 15.3% Unlevered IRR over the Trust’s Ownership Period

The $90.0 million sale price represents a 5.4% trailing 12-month NOI cap rate (after factoring in a required 2019 renovation estimated at $6.0 million, the sale price represents a 5.0% NOI cap rate); and it is expected to produce a 15.3% unlevered IRR over the Trust’s ownership period. The Trust used the net proceeds from the sale to repay all of the outstanding borrowings under its revolving credit facility.

The Trust acquired the Hyatt Centric Santa Barbara in June 2013 for $61.0 million, or $305,000 per key. In April 2016, the Trust sold a separate, five-room villa building and related land parcel at the Hyatt Centric Santa Barbara for $2.1 million to an unrelated buyer.

Chesapeake Lodging’s Second Quarter Results

On July 27, 2018, the Trust also reported its financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2018. The Trust reported an increase in RevPAR of 4.7% for the 21-hotel portfolio compared to the same period in 2017. Encouraging levels of demand at the hotels from corporate transient customers whom the Trust’s portfolio is most focused on serving, led to this increase. The Trust’s comparable adjusted hotel EBITDA margin increased by 110 basis point to 36.3% for the 21-hotel portfolio versus the same period in 2017. It reported adjusted Hotel EBITDA of $59.2 million and adjusted Corporate EBITDA of $54.5 million. The Company’s net income available to common shareholders was $23.8 million, or $0.40 per diluted common share, in the reported period. The Trust’s adjusted FFO was $42.9 million, or $0.72 per diluted common share. The Trust amended its revolving credit facility by extending its initial term and reducing cost of borrowings.

In November 2017, the Trust closed on the sale of the 222-room The Hotel Minneapolis, Autograph Collection located in Minneapolis, Minnesota, for a sale price of $46.0 million, or $207,000 per key. The Trust used the net proceeds from the sale to repay all of the outstanding borrowings under its revolving credit facility. The Hotel Minneapolis, Autograph Collection was acquired in October 2012 for $46.0 million, or $207,000 per key.
