Wyndham Hotels & Resorts Reports Third Quarter 2019 Results

PARSIPPANY, N.J., Oct. 29, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Wyndham Hotels & Resorts (NYSE: WH) today announced results for the three months ended September 30, 2019. Highlights include:

(PRNewsfoto/Wyndham Hotels & Resorts)

  • Diluted earnings per share declined 19%, to $0.47, and adjusted diluted EPS grew 29%, to $1.10.
  • Net income was $45 million for the third quarter, a 22% decrease over the prior-year quarter; adjusted net income was $106 million, a 25% increase over the prior-year quarter.
  • Adjusted EBITDA increased 14% compared with the prior-year quarter, to $190 million.
  • System-wide rooms grew 3% year-over-year, including U.S. rooms growth of 1% and international rooms growth of 6%.
  • The Company's development pipeline grew 7% year-over-year to 190,000 rooms.
  • U.S. RevPAR declined 1% year-over-year, and international RevPAR declined 1% year-over-year in constant currency.
  • Returned more than $100 million to shareholders in the quarter, through share repurchases and dividends.
  • Company updates its full-year 2019 outlook.

"Our team's sharp execution against our strategic and operating plans allowed us to deliver solid results in the third quarter, despite a softening RevPAR environment, highlighted by continued expansion of our system size and significant growth in adjusted EBITDA," said Geoffrey A. Ballotti, president and chief executive officer. "In addition, we increased our share repurchase authorization to reflect our strong free cash flow and our sustained focus on returning cash to shareholders. We remain confident that our business is well-positioned for continued success."

Revenues decreased 7% to $560 million, compared with $604 million in the third quarter of 2018. The decline is primarily due to lower cost-reimbursement revenues in our hotel management business, which have no impact on adjusted EBITDA.

Net income was $45 million, or $0.47 per diluted share, compared to $58 million, or $0.58 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2018. As previously announced, 2019 results reflect contract-termination expenses and transaction-related items. Prior-year results included separation-related and transaction-related expenses associated with the Company's spin-off and acquisition of La Quinta.

Adjusted net income was $106 million, or $1.10 per diluted share, compared with $85 million, or $0.85 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2018. Third quarter earnings benefited from higher royalty and franchise fees and other revenues, as well as increased synergies from the acquisition and integration of La Quinta, partially offset by higher marketing expenses. Full reconciliations of GAAP results to the Company's non-GAAP adjusted measures for all reported periods appear in the tables to this press release.

Third quarter adjusted EBITDA increased 14% to $190 million, compared with $166 million in the third quarter of 2018. The increase in adjusted EBITDA primarily reflected higher fee revenues and increased synergies from the acquisition and integration of La Quinta.

As of September 30, 2019, the Company's hotel system consisted of over 9,200 properties and approximately 822,000 rooms, a 3% increase compared with the third quarter of 2018. The Company's development pipeline consisted of 1,450 hotels and approximately 190,000 rooms, a 7% year-over-year room increase. The Company also increased its pipeline sequentially by 1% compared to second quarter 2019. Approximately 56% of the Company's development pipeline is international and 74% is new construction.

Revenues increased 9% compared to third quarter 2018, due to higher fee revenues and the timing of the Company's global franchisee conference, which was in April last year but in September this year. Adjusted EBITDA grew 10% to $195 million, reflecting the growth in revenues and increased synergies from the acquisition of La Quinta, partially offset by a $7 million impact from higher marketing expenses.

Revenues decreased $72 million compared to the prior-year period, primarily due to lower cost-reimbursement revenues, which have no impact on adjusted EBITDA, and a one-time accrual for customer payments we agreed to make, which is considered transaction-related and therefore does not impact Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA increased $8 million compared to the prior-year quarter, primarily reflecting reduced marketing expenses and $2 million of management contract termination fees.

Other Items

Share Repurchases and Dividends - The Company repurchased approximately 1,410,000 shares of its common stock for $75 million in the third quarter. The Company's Board of Directors also increased the Company's share repurchase authorization by $300 million in August. The Company paid common stock dividends of $28 million, or $0.29 per share, in the third quarter.

La Quinta Integration - The Company achieved run-rate synergies related to the La Quinta acquisition of $68 million annually during the third quarter, as anticipated.

Agreement with CorePoint Lodging - In October, the Company entered into an agreement with CorePoint Lodging, for whom the Company manages La Quinta-branded hotels, to collaborate on initiatives in support of CorePoint's operations and to resolve open issues between the two companies. As part of the agreement, the Company will make payments of approximately $20 million to CorePoint, and CorePoint will commit to maintaining cash operating reserves of approximately $20 million. The two companies also agreed to finalize outstanding tax matters related to the Company's May 2018 acquisition of La Quinta Holdings Inc. As a result of the agreement, the Company recorded charges of approximately $26 million ($21 million after-tax) in the third quarter.

Hotel Management Contract Termination - As previously announced, the Company recorded a $34 million charge in the third quarter to terminate an unprofitable hotel-management arrangement, which was initiated in 2012 and covers eight hotel properties and 2,500 U.S. rooms, all of which will remain in the Company's franchise system this year. With the termination of this arrangement, the Company's future maximum annual hotel-management guaranty obligations will be $5 million.

the La Quinta acquisition, and $58 million and $90 million of transaction-related and separation-related cash

outlays in 2019 and 2018, respectively.

(b)

Includes $2 million and $15 million of capital expenditures in 2019 and 2018, respectively, at the Company's

owned hotel in Puerto Rico, all of which were reimbursed by insurance proceeds in 2018 that were not

considered a component of free cash flow.

(c)

Excluding the cash outflow items above, free cash flow was $222 million and $186 million in the nine months

ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

We believe free cash flow to be a useful operating performance measure to evaluate the ability of our operations

to generate cash for uses other than capital expenditures and, after debt service and other obligations, our ability

to grow our business through acquisitions, development advances and equity investments, as well as our ability to

return cash to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases. A limitation of using free cash flow versus

the GAAP measures of net cash provided by operating activities, net cash used in investing activities and net

cash (used in)/provided by financing activities as a means for evaluating Wyndham Hotels is that free cash flow

does not represent the total cash movement for the period as detailed in the consolidated statement of cash

flows.

NON-GAAP RECONCILIATIONS AND DEFINITIONS

(In millions)

The tables below reconcile certain non-GAAP financial measures. The presentation of these adjustments is intended to permit the comparison of particular adjustments as they appear in the income statement in order to assist investors' understanding of the overall impact of such adjustments. We believe that adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors about us and our financial condition and results of operations because adjusted EBITDA is among the measures used by our management team to evaluate our operating performance and make day-to-day operating decisions and because adjusted EBITDA is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties as a common performance measure to compare results or estimate valuations across companies in our industry.

Definitions

Adjusted EBITDA: Represents net income excluding interest expense, depreciation and amortization, impairment charges, restructuring and related charges, contract termination costs, transaction-related items (acquisition-, disposition-, or separation-related), foreign currency impacts of highly inflationary countries, stock-based compensation expense, early extinguishment of debt costs and income taxes. Beginning with the third quarter of 2018, our calculation of adjusted EBITDA excludes the currency effects of hyper-inflationary countries. Adjusted EBITDA is a financial measure that is not recognized under U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income or other measures of financial performance or liquidity derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In addition, our definition of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

Average Daily Rate (ADR): Represents the average rate charged for renting a lodging room for one day.

Average Occupancy Rate: Represents the percentage of available rooms occupied during the period.

Constant Currency: Represents a comparison eliminating the effects of foreign exchange rate fluctuations between periods (foreign currency translation) and the impact caused by any foreign exchange related activities (i.e., hedges, balance sheet remeasurements and/or adjustments).

Number of Rooms: Represents the number of rooms at the end of the period which are (i) either under franchise and/or management agreements or Company-owned and (ii) properties under affiliation agreements for which the Company receives a fee for reservation and/or other services provided.

RevPAR: Represents revenue per available room and is calculated by multiplying average occupancy rate by ADR.

Royalty Rate: Represents the average royalty rate earned on our franchised properties and is calculated by dividing total royalties, excluding the impact of amortization of development advance notes, by total room revenues.

NON-GAAP RECONCILIATIONS AND DEFINITIONS

(In millions, except per share data)

In addition to GAAP financial measures, the Company provides adjusted net income and adjusted EPS financial measures to assist our investors in evaluating our ongoing operating performance for the current reporting period and, where provided, over different reporting periods, by adjusting for certain items which may be recurring or non-recurring and which in our view do not necessarily reflect ongoing performance. We also internally use these measures to assess our operating performance, both absolutely and in comparison to other companies, and in evaluating or making selected compensation decisions. These supplemental disclosures are in addition to GAAP reported measures. This non-GAAP reconciliation table should not be considered a substitute for, nor superior to, financial results and measures determined or calculated in accordance with GAAP.
