SUNSTONE HOTEL INVESTORS, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Organization and Description of Business
Sunstone Hotel Investors, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in Maryland on June 28, 2004 in anticipation of an initial public offering of common stock, which was consummated on October 26, 2004. The Company, through its 100% controlling interest in Sunstone Hotel Partnership, LLC (the “Operating Partnership”), of which the Company is the sole managing member, and the subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership, including Sunstone Hotel TRS Lessee, Inc. (the “TRS Lessee”) and its subsidiaries, is currently engaged in acquiring, owning, asset managing and renovating hotel properties. The Company may also sell certain hotel properties from time to time. The Company operates as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for federal income tax purposes.
As a REIT, certain tax laws limit the amount of “non-qualifying” income the Company can earn, including income derived directly from the operation of hotels. As a result, the Company leases all of its hotels to its TRS Lessee, which in turn enters into long-term management agreements with third parties to manage the operations of the Company’s hotels. As of September 30, 2012,March 31, 2013, the Company had interests in 3026 hotels (the “30“26 hotels”), held for investment. The Company’s third-party managers included subsidiaries of Marriott International, Inc. or Marriott Hotel Services, Inc. (collectively, “Marriott”), managers of 10 of the Company’s 3026 hotels; a subsidiary of Interstate Hotels & Resorts, Inc., manager of 10six of the Company’s 3026 hotels; Highgate Hotels L.P. and an affiliate, manager of three of the Company’s 3026 hotels; Davidson Hotels & Resorts and Hilton Worldwide, each a manager of two of the Company’s 3026 hotels; and Crestline Hotels & Resorts, Fairmont Hotels & Resorts (U.S.) and Hyatt Corporation, each a manager of one of the Company’s 3026 hotels. In addition, as of March 31, 2013, the Company owns 100% ofowned BuyEfficient, LLC (“BuyEfficient”), an electronic purchasing platform that allows members to procure food, operating supplies, furniture, fixtures and equipment, and 100% of a commercial laundry facility located in Rochester, Minnesota.equipment.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2012March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2011,2012, and for the three and nine months ended September 30,March 31, 2013 and 2012, and 2011, include the accounts of the Company, the Operating Partnership, the TRS Lessee and their subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. The Company consolidates subsidiaries when it has the ability to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the entity. The Company also evaluates its subsidiaries to determine if they should be considered variable interest entities (“VIEs”). Typically, the entity that has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact economic performance would consolidate the VIE. The Company considers an entity a VIE if equity investors own an interest therein that does not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or if such investors do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support. In accordance with the Consolidation Topic of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”), the Company reviewed its subsidiaries to determine if (i) they should be considered VIEs, and (ii) whether the Company should change its consolidation determination based on changes in the characteristics of these entities.
Non-controlling interests at both September 30, 2012March 31, 2013 and December 31, 20112012 represent the outside equity interests in various consolidated affiliates of the Company.
The accompanying interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) and in conformity with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. In the Company’s opinion, the interim financial statements presented herein reflect all adjustments, consisting solely of normal and recurring adjustments, which are necessary to fairly present the interim financial statements. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011,2012, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 28, 2012.25, 2013.
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified in the consolidated financial statements in order to conform to the current year presentation.
The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the date of issuance of these financial statements.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
Reporting Periods
The results the Company reports in its consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) are based on results reported to the Company by its hotel managers. These hotel managers use different reporting periods.Prior to 2013, Marriott usesused a fiscal year ending on the Friday closest to December 31 and reportsreported twelve weeks of operations each for the first three quarters of the year, and sixteen or seventeen weeks of operations for the fourth quarter of the year. Beginning in 2013, Marriott switched its reporting to a standard monthly calendar; however Marriott’s 2013 calendar contains an additional three days, December 29, 2012 through December 31, 2012. The Company’sCompany and its other hotel managers report operations onuse a standard monthly calendar.calendar to report their financial information. The Company has elected to adopt quarterly close periods of March 31, June 30 and September 30, and an annual year end of December 31. As a result, the Company’s 2013 results of operations for the Marriott-managed hotels are reported on a calendar basis; however, the 2012 results of operations for the Marriott-managed hotels include results from December 31 through March 23 for the first quarter, March 24 through June 15 for the second quarter, June 16 through September 7 for the third quarter, and September 8 through December 28 for the fourth quarter. The Company’s 2011 results of operations for the Marriott-managed hotels include results from January 1 through March 25 for the first quarter, March 26 through June 17 for the second quarter, June 18 through September 9 for the third quarter, and September 10 through December 30 for the fourth quarter. Beginning in 2013, Marriott will report operations on a standard monthly calendar basis.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
As of September 30, 2012March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2011,2012, the carrying amount of certain financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses were representative of their fair values due to the short-term maturity of these instruments.
The Company follows the requirements of the Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure Topic of the FASB ASC, which establishes a framework for measuring fair value and disclosing fair value measurements by establishing a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
Level 1Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. Level 2Inputs reflect quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or the liability; or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means. Level 3Unobservable inputs reflecting the Company’s own assumptions incorporated in valuation techniques used to determine fair value. These assumptions are required to be consistent with market participant assumptions that are reasonably available. |

As discussed in Note 7, during 2011,5, at March 31, 2013, the Company entered intoheld two interest rate protectioncap agreements and one interest rate swap agreement to manage or hedgeits exposure to the interest rate risks in conjunction withrelated to its acquisitions of the outside 62.0% equity interests in the Doubletree Guest Suites Times Square, the JW Marriott New Orleans, a 75.0% majority interest in the entity that owns the Hilton San Diego Bayfront and the refinancing of the debt secured by the Doubletree Guest Suites Times Square.floating rate debt. The Company records interest rate protection agreements on the balance sheet at their fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recorded each period in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) as they are not designated as hedges. In accordance with the Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure Topic of the FASB ASC, the Company estimates the fair value of its interest rate protection agreements based on quotes obtained from the counterparties, which are based upon the consideration that would be required to terminate the agreements. The Company has valued the derivative interest rate cap agreements related to the Doubletree Guest Suites Times Square and the Hilton San Diego Bayfront using Level 2 measurements as an asset of $20,000$57,000 and $0.4 million$48,000 as of September 30, 2012March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2011,2012, respectively. The interest rate cap agreements are included in other assets, net on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The Company has valued the derivative interest rate swap agreement related to the JW Marriott New Orleans using Level 2 measurements as a liability of $1.8$1.5 million and $1.6 million as of September 30, 2012March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2011,2012, respectively. The interest rate swap agreement is included in other liabilities on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
The Company is responsible for paying the premiums, if any, for a $5.0 million split life insurance policy for its former Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Robert A. Alter. The Company has valued this policy using Level 2 measurements at $1.5 million and $1.9 million as of September 30, 2012both March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2011, respectively.2012. These amounts are included in other assets, net in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, and will be used to reimburse the Company for payments made to Mr. Alter associated with a Retirement Benefit Agreement. The Company has valued the Retirement Benefit Agreement using Level 2 measurements at $1.5 million and $1.7 million as of September 30, 2012both March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2011, respectively.2012. The agreement calls for the balance of the Retirement Benefit Agreement to be paid out to Mr. Alter in 10 annual installments, beginning in 2011. As such, the Company has paid Mr. Alter a total of $0.4 million through September 30, 2012,March 31, 2013, which was reimbursed to the Company using funds from the split life insurance policy. These amounts are included in accrued payroll and employee benefits in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
On an annual basis and periodically when indicators of impairment exist, the Company has analyzedanalyzes the carrying values of its hotel properties and other assets using Level 3 measurements, including a discounted cash flow analysis to estimate the fair value of its hotel properties and other assets taking into account each property’s expected cash flow from operations, holding period and estimated proceeds from the disposition of the property. The factors addressed in determining estimated proceeds from disposition included anticipated operating cash flow in the year of disposition and terminal capitalization rate. The Company did not identify any properties or other assets with indicators of impairment during the ninethree months ended September 30,March 31, 2013 and 2012.

Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable primarily represents receivables from hotel guests who occupy hotel rooms and utilize hotel services. Accounts receivable also includes, among other things, receivables from customers who utilize the Company’s commercial laundry facility in Rochester, Minnesota, receivables from customers who utilize purchase volume rebates through BuyEfficient, as well as tenants who lease space in the Company’s hotels. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts sufficient to cover potential credit losses. The Company’s accounts receivable at both September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 includes an allowance for doubtful accounts of $0.2 million.million at both March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012.
Acquisitions of Hotel Properties and Other Entities
Accounting for the acquisition of a hotel property or other entity as a purchase transaction requires an allocation of the purchase price to the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed in the transaction at their respective estimated fair values. The most difficult estimations of individual fair values are those involving long-lived assets, such as property, equipment, intangible assets and any capital lease obligations that are assumed as part of the acquisition of a leasehold interest. During 2011 and the first nine months of 2012, the Company used all available information to make these fair value determinations, and engaged an independent valuation specialist to assist in the fair value determination of the long-lived assets acquired and the liabilities assumed in the Company’s purchases of the Hyatt Chicago Magnificent Mile and the Hilton Garden Inn Chicago Downtown/Magnificent Mile, the outside 62.0% equity interests in the Doubletree Guest Suites Times Square joint venture, the outside 50.0% equity interests in the BuyEfficient joint venture, the JW Marriott New Orleans and the 75.0% majority interest in the entity that owns the Hilton San Diego Bayfront.Mile. Due to the inherent subjectivity in determining the estimated fair value of long-lived assets, the Company believes that the recording of acquired assets and liabilities is a critical accounting policy.
Goodwill
The Company follows the requirements of the Intangibles — Goodwill and Other Topic of the FASB ASC, which states that goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have indefinite lives are subject to annual impairment tests. As a result, the carrying value of goodwill allocated to the hotel properties and other assets is reviewed at least annually for impairment. In addition, when facts and circumstances suggest that the Company’s goodwill may be impaired, an interim evaluation of goodwill is prepared. Such review entails comparing the carrying value of the individual hotel property or other asset (the reporting unit) including the allocated goodwill to the fair value determined for that reporting unit (see Fair Value of Financial Instruments for detail on the Company’s valuation methodology). If the aggregate carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds the fair value, the goodwill of the reporting unit is impaired to the extent of the difference between the fair value and the aggregate carrying value, not to exceed the carrying amount of the allocated goodwill. The Company’s annual impairment evaluation is performed each year as of December 31.
During the first quarter ended March 31, 2011, the Company recorded additional goodwill of $8.4 million related to its purchase of the outside 50.0% equity interest in its BuyEfficient joint venture.
Deferred Financing Fees
Deferred financing fees consist of loan fees and other financing costs related to the Company’s outstanding indebtedness and credit facility commitments and are amortized to interest expense over the terms of the related debt.debt or commitment. Upon repayment or refinancing of the underlying debt, any related unamortized deferred financing fee is charged to interest expense. Upon any loan modification, any related unamortized deferred financing fee is amortized over the remaining terms of the modified loan.
During both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, theThe Company incurred and paiddid not incur or pay any deferred financing fees of $1.3 million related to an amendment of its credit facility. Duringduring either the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company incurred and paid deferred financing fees of approximately zero and $4.8 million, respectively, related to new debt and debt refinancings. Such costs are being amortized over the related terms of the loans.
In the third quarter of 2012, the Company wrote off $0.2 million in deferred financing fees related to its sales of the Marriott Del Mar in August 2012, and the Doubletree Guest Suites Minneapolis, Hilton Del Mar and Marriott Troy in SeptemberMarch 31, 2013 or 2012. In the second quarter of 2012, the Company wrote off $3,000 in deferred financing fees related to its repayment of the non-recourse mortgage secured by the Renaissance Long Beach.

Earnings Per Share
The Company applies the two-class method when computing its earnings per share as required by the Earnings Per Share Topic of the FASB ASC, which requires the net income per share for each class of stock (common stock and convertible preferred stock) to be calculated assuming 100% of the Company’s net income is distributed as dividends to each class of stock based on their contractual rights. To the extent the Company has undistributed earnings in any calendar quarter, the Company will follow the two-class method of computing earnings per share.
The Company follows the requirements of the Earnings Per Share Topic of the FASB ASC, which states that unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) are participating securities and shall be included in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method. For the three and nine months ended September 30,March 31, 2013 and 2012, $0.4undistributed earnings representing nonforfeitable dividends of $0.2 million and $0.2 million, respectively were allocated to the participating securities. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, zero, and $0.6 million, respectively, were allocated to the participating securities.
In accordance with the Earnings Per Share Topic of the FASB ASC, basic earnings available (loss attributable) to common stockholders per common share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings available (loss attributable) to common stockholders per common share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period, plus potential common shares considered outstanding during the period, as long as the inclusion of such awards is not anti-dilutive. Potential common shares consist of unvested restricted stock awards, the incremental common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and the conversion of the Company’s Series C Cumulative Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock (“Series C preferred stock”), using the more dilutive of either the two-class method or the treasury stock method.

ForIn January 2013, the Company sold a four-hotel, 1,222-room portfolio (the “Rochester Hotels”) and a commercial laundry facility (together with the Rochester Hotels, the “Rochester Portfolio”) in Rochester, Minnesota, to an unaffiliated third party, for net proceeds of $195.6 million, of which $6.0 million was used to pay refundable deposits towards two potential hotel acquisitions and $139.4 million is presented on the Company’s March 31, 2013 consolidated balance sheet as cash proceeds held by accommodator in order to facilitate a potential tax-deferred exchange. The Rochester Hotels include the 660-room Kahler Grand, the 271-room Kahler Inn & Suites, the 202-room Marriott Rochester and the 89-room Residence Inn by Marriott Rochester. The Company recognized a net gain on the sale of $51.6 million. The Company retained a $25.0 million preferred equity investment (the “Preferred Equity Investment”) in the Rochester Hotels that yields an 11% dividend, resulting in a deferred gain on the sale of $25.0 million. The $25.0 million gain will be deferred until the Preferred Equity Investment is redeemed. The Preferred Equity Investment is recorded at face value on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet net of the deferred gain, resulting in a net book value of zero on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2013. During the first quarter of 2013, the Company recognized $0.5 million in dividends on the Preferred Equity Investment, which is included in interest and other income on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). The Company also provided a $3.7 million working cash advance to the buyer, resulting in a deferred gain on the sale of $3.7 million. The $3.7 million gain will be deferred until the Company is repaid from the Rochester Portfolio’s available cash flow. The working cash advance is recorded at face value on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet net of the deferred gain, resulting in a net book value of zero on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2013. In addition, the Company retained a liability not to exceed $14.0 million related to the Rochester Portfolio’s pension plan, which could be triggered in certain circumstances, including termination of the pension plan. The $14.0 million pension plan liability is included in other liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2013. The recognition of the $14.0 million pension plan liability reduced the Company’s gain on the sale of the Rochester Portfolio. The $14.0 million gain will be recognized, if at all, when and to the extent the Company is released from any potential liability related to the Rochester Portfolio’s pension plan. Concurrent with the Rochester Portfolio sale, the Company extinguished the outstanding $26.7 million mortgage secured by the Kahler Grand for a total cost of $29.8 million, prepaid the $0.4 million loan secured by the commercial laundry facility, and recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt of $3.1 million which is included in discontinued operations.

The Company accounted for its ownership interest in the hotel using the equity method, and its accounting policies were consistent with those of the unconsolidated joint venture. In January 2011, the Company purchased the outside 62.0% equity interests in its Doubletree Guest Suites Times Square joint venture for $37.5 million, and, as a result, became the sole owner of the entity that owns the hotel. In conjunction with this purchase, the Company recognized a gain of $30.1 million on the remeasurement of the Company’s equity interest in this joint venture to its fair market value, and a gain of $30.4 million on the remeasurement of the Company’s investment in a $30.0 million, 8.5% mezzanine loan secured by the hotel which it purchased in April 2010 for $3.45 million to its fair market value. Subsequent to this acquisition, the Company has consolidated the results of operations of the Doubletree Guest Suites Times Square with its continuing operations, and the mezzanine loan was eliminated in consolidation on the Company’s balance sheet until the mezzanine loan was satisfied in conjunction with the Company’s refinancing of the debt secured by the Doubletree Guest Suites Times Square in October 2011.
In December 2007, the Company entered into a joint venture agreement with Strategic Hotels & Resorts, Inc. (“Strategic”) to own and operate BuyEfficient. Under the terms of the agreement, Strategic acquired a 50.0% interest in BuyEfficient from the Company. The Company accounted for its ownership interest in BuyEfficient using the equity method, and its accounting policies were consistent with those of the unconsolidated joint venture. In January 2011, the Company repurchased Strategic’s 50.0% share in BuyEfficient for $9.0 million. The Company recorded the acquisition at fair value using an independent third-party analysis, with the purchase price allocated to intangibles (which are included in other assets, net on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011), goodwill and other working capital assets and liabilities. In conjunction with this purchase, the Company recognized a gain of $8.7 million on the remeasurement of the Company’s equity interest in this joint venture to its fair market value. Subsequent to this acquisition, the Company is now the sole owner of BuyEfficient, and has consolidated BuyEfficient’s results of operations with its continuing operations.

As of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Company has $58.0 million and $62.5 million, respectively, in outstanding Senior Notes, which have a maturity date of July 2027 and a stated interest rate of 4.60%. The Company follows the requirements of the Debt Topic of the FASB ASC which states that the liability and equity components of convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash upon conversion (including partial cash settlement) be separately accounted for in a manner that reflects an issuer’s non-convertible debt borrowing rate at the time of issuance. As a result, the liability component is recorded at a discount reflecting its below market interest rate. The liability component is subsequently accreted to its par value over its expected life based on a rate of interest that reflects the issuer’s non-convertible debt borrowing rate at the time of issuance, and is reflected in the results of operations as interest expense. Under the guidelines of the Debt Topic of the FASB ASC, the implicit interest rate for the Senior Notes is 6.5% based on the Company’s non-convertible debt borrowing rate at the time of issuance. Interest expense included accretion of the Senior Notes of $0.3 million for both the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, and $0.8 million for both the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011.

The notes, subject to specified events and other conditions, are exchangeable into, at the Company’s option, cash, the Company’s common stock, or a combination of cash and the Company’s common stock. The initial exchange rate for each $1,000 principal amount of notes was 28.9855 shares of the Company’s common stock, representing an exchange price of approximately $34.50 per common share. The initial exchange rate was subject to adjustment under certain circumstances, and is currently adjusted to 32.9179 shares of the Company’s common stock for each $1,000 principal amount of notes, representing an exchange price of approximately $30.38 per common share. The Operating Partnership does not have the right to redeem the notes, except to preserve the Company’s REIT status, before January 20, 2013, and may redeem the notes, in whole or in part, thereafter at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed, plus any accrued and unpaid interest. Upon specified change in control events as well as on specified dates, holders of the notes may require the Operating Partnership to repurchase their notes, in whole or in part, for cash equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be repurchased, plus any accrued and unpaid interest. The notes are the senior unsecured obligations of the Operating Partnership. The Company and several of its subsidiaries have guaranteed the Operating Partnership’s obligations under the notes. The notes do not qualify as a derivative or an equity instrument.

Accordingly, the Company has deferred $14.0 million of gain on the sale of the Rochester Portfolio, which $14.0 million in gain will be recognized, if at all, when and to the extent the Company is released from any potential liability related to the Rochester Portfolio’s pension plan.
The Company’s other liabilities include a long-term income tax payable of $1.5 million. Based on the Company’s ongoing evaluations of its uncertain tax positions related to the year ended December 31, 2012, and as a result of its recent resolution of outstanding issues with the IRS, the Company adjusted for an unrecognized tax benefit of $1.5 million during the first quarter of 2013, which is included in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss).
The Company’s other liabilities also include deferred incentive management fees of $1.4 million related to one of its hotels that is currently undergoing a major room renovation. Per the Company’s management agreement with the hotel’s third-party manager, payment of the incentive management fees will be deferred until such time as the hotel’s adjusted cash flow, as defined in the management agreement, surpasses a certain threshold.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Overview
Sunstone Hotel Investors, Inc. (the “Company,” “we” or “us”) is a Maryland corporation. We operate as a self-managed and self-administered real estate investment trust (“REIT”). A REIT is a legal entity that directly or indirectly owns real estate assets. REITs generally are not subject to federal income taxes at the corporate level as long as they pay stockholder dividends equivalent to 100% of their taxable income. REITs are required to distribute to stockholders at least 90% of their taxable income. We own, directly or indirectly, 100% of the interests of Sunstone Hotel Partnership, LLC (the “Operating Partnership”), which is the entity that directly or indirectly owns our hotel properties. We also own 100% of the interests of our taxable REIT subsidiary, Sunstone Hotel TRS Lessee, Inc., which leases all of our hotels from the Operating Partnership, and engages independent third-parties to manage our hotels. In addition, prior to January 21, 2011, we owned 50.0%own 100% of BuyEfficient, LLC (“BuyEfficient”), an electronic purchasing platform that allows members to procure food, operating supplies, furniture, fixtures and equipment. In January 2011, we purchased the outside 50.0% equity interest in BuyEfficient, and as a result, we are now the sole owner of BuyEfficient. We also own 100% of a commercial laundry facility located in Rochester, Minnesota.
We own primarily upper upscale hotels in the United States. As of September 30, 2012,March 31, 2013, we had interests in 3026 hotels, (the “30 hotels”).which are currently held for investment. Of the 3026 hotels, we classify 2724 as upscale or upper upscale and two as luxury and one as upper midscale as defined by Smith Travel Research, Inc. The majorityAll of our 26 hotels are operated under nationally recognized brands such as Marriott, Hilton, Hyatt, Fairmont and Sheraton, which are among the most respected and widely recognized brands in the lodging industry. We believe the largest and most stable segment of travelers prefer the consistent service and quality associated with nationally recognized brands.
We seek to own hotels in urban locations that benefit from significant barriers to entry by competitors. MostAll of our 26 hotels are considered business, convention, or airport hotels, as opposed to resort leisure or extended-stayleisure hotels. The hotels comprising our 3026 hotel portfolio average 428447 rooms in size.
Our mission is to create meaningful value for our stockholders by becoming the premier hotel owner. Our values include transparency, trust, ethical conduct, communication and discipline. Our goal during what we believe is the middle phase of the cyclical lodging cycle is to improve the quality and scale of our portfolio while gradually deleveraging our balance sheet. As demand for lodging generally fluctuates with the overall economy (we refer to these changes in demand as the lodging cycle), we seek to employ a balanced, cycle-appropriate corporate strategy that encompasses proactive portfolio management, intensive asset management, disciplined external growth and measured balance sheet improvement as detailed below:
· Proactive Portfolio Management.Management. The leaders of each of our core disciplines function as a portfolio management team. The portfolio management team’s purpose is to strategically maximize the long-term value of our assets by enhancing our portfolio quality and scale, optimizing our exposure to key markets, and improving the effectiveness and efficiency of our decision making. Accordingly, the team is responsible for developing a portfolio-wide strategy related to brand and operator relationships, asset quality and scale, target markets, capital investments and portfolio capitalizations. Our portfolio strategy may also include the disposition of certain hotels. The portfolio management team is also responsible for developing new decision support tools.
· Intensive Asset Management.Management. Through all phases of the lodging cycle, our strategy emphasizes internal growth and value enhancements through proactive asset management, which entails working closely with our third-party hotel operators to develop and implement long-term strategic plans for each hotel designed to enhance revenues, minimize operational expenses and asset risk, maximize the appeal of our hotels to travelers and maximize our return on invested capital. We also focus on improving the appeal and growth potential of our existing hotels through internally-managed hotel renovations.
· Disciplined External Growth.Growth. By gradually increasing the scale and quality of our portfolio, we may provide our stockholders with greater exposure to key growth markets, improved liquidity and broader access to value-adding transactions. Accordingly, our strategy emphasizes disciplined external growth during the recovery phase of the lodging cycle. Our external growth plan is oriented around investing in institutional-quality hotels that generate returns in excess of our cost of capital, that are additive to the quality of our portfolio, that have attractive growth potential and that may benefit from our asset management competencies. We endeavor to structure our acquisitions in ways that will not only increase the value of our shares of common stock, but will also will advance our other corporate objectives, such as improving our financial flexibility and reducing our leverage. During periods of cyclical decline, our strategy may emphasize opportunistically investing in distressed assets and the repurchase of our equity or debt securities. In addition to hotel acquisitions, we may seek to grow our portfolio by making investments in defaulted and/or distressed debt positions in loan-to-own hotel transactions, utilizing our REIT structure to effect strategic combinations with select property owners, effecting portfolio purchases from institutional and other owners seeking portfolio liquidity, and by providing capital solutions to illiquid owners facing debt maturities or capital requirements.
· Measured Balance Sheet Improvement.Improvement A. We believe that a low overall cost of capital and significant financial flexibility are very important to the successful execution of our strategy. Our balance sheet strategy is oriented toward maximizing financial flexibility especially during cyclical declines. Accordingly, our financial objectives include the measured improvement of our credit ratios, maintenance of appropriate levels of liquidity, and a gradual reduction in our financial leverage throughout the cyclical recovery phase. Our financial objectives are integral to our overall corporate strategy and, accordingly, we have developed our financial objectives in conjunction with our portfolio management and growth objectives. The lodging industry is economically sensitive. Therefore, our financial objectives are aimed at reducing the potentially negative impact of combining high operating leverage with high financial leverage, while preserving access to multiple capital sources and minimizing our weighted-average cost of capital. We seek to capitalize our acquisitions in a way that will advance our financial objectives. For example, as the measured reduction of our financial leverage is currently a key objective, we expect to fund our acquisitions with a greater proportion of equity capital than debt capital. During the mature phase of the lodging cycle, our financial objectives may include increasing our liquidity position as a means to enhance financial flexibility in the event of a subsequent period of cyclical decline. Our liquidity improvement objective may be accomplished through selective hotel dispositions, capital raises or by retaining excess cash generated by our operations.
During the past twothree years and continuing into 2012,2013, demand for lodging in the U.S. has increased, which has resulted in improved hotel revenues and profits. In light of increasing demand for lodging and generally muted supply of new hotel development, we believe we are currently in the recoverymiddle phase of thea cyclical lodging cycle.recovery. Hotels acquired during the earlyearlier stages of past cyclical recoveries have benefited from multi-year increases in profitability, which in many cases created long-term value in excess of investment hurdles. Accordingly, during 2011 and year-to-date in 2012the past three years, we have made several selective acquisitions including: the purchase of the outside 62.0% equityselectively acquired interests in oursix hotels: the Doubletree Guest Suites Times Square joint venture in January 2011; the JW Marriott New Orleans in February 2011; the Hilton San Diego Bayfront in April 2011; the Hyatt Chicago Magnificent Mile in June 2012; the Hilton Garden Inn Chicago Downtown/Magnificent Mile in July 2012; and the Hilton New Orleans St. Charles Avenue in May 2013. We are currently under contract to purchase a seventh hotel, the Boston Park Plaza, which is expected to close in or before July 2013. Based on our purchase prices, the combined asset value of these seven hotels totals $1.4 billion, or $321,000 per key. In addition, we purchased the outside 50.0% equity interest in our BuyEfficient joint venture in January 2011; the purchase of the JW Marriott New Orleans in February 2011; the purchase of a 75.0% majority interest in a joint venture that owns the Hilton San Diego Bayfront in April 2011; the purchase of the Wyndham Chicago in June 2012 (which we immediately rebranded the Hyatt Chicago Magnificent Mile); and the purchase of the Hilton Garden Inn Chicago Downtown/Magnificent Mile in July 2012.2011. Our acquisition program is aimed at generating attractive risk-adjusted returns on our investment dollars, and therefore we may target lodging assets outside of the typical branded, urban, upper upscale profile represented by our existing portfolio in order to capitalize on opportunities which may arise. We intend to select the brands and operators for our hotels that we believe will lead to the highest returns.
On June 4, 2012, we purchased the leasehold interest in the 417-room Wyndham Chicago located in Chicago, Illinois for a contractual purchase price of $88.425 million. The acquisition was funded with $29.7 million of cash on hand (including $0.3 million of proration credits) and the issuance of 5,454,164 shares of our common stock, the “Wyndham stock consideration.” The Wyndham stock consideration was determined by dividing $58.425 million by the product of (1) the closing price of $10.71 on the NYSE of our common stock on May 2, 2012 and (2) 1.03. In connection with this acquisition, we entered into a registration rights agreement requiring us to register the Wyndham stock consideration. We prepared the registration statement on Form S-3, which we filed with the SEC as required on June 4, 2012. Based on the $9.38 closing price of the Company’s common stock on the NYSE on June 4, 2012, the total purchase price of the Wyndham Chicago hotel for accounting purposes was $81.16 million, excluding proration adjustments and closing costs. Upon closing, we terminated the existing management agreement and entered into a new management agreement with Davidson Hotels & Resorts. We rebranded the hotel the Hyatt Chicago Magnificent Mile and have commenced planning for a $25.0 million renovation program (a portion of which will be funded by Hyatt Corporation).
On July 19, 2012, we purchased the 357-room Hilton Garden Inn Chicago Downtown/Magnificent Mile located in Chicago, Illinois for a net purchase price of $90.3 million. The acquisition was funded with a portion of the $126.2 million net proceeds we received from the issuance of 12,143,273 shares of our common stock on June 25, 2012.
The scope of our acquisitions program may include large hotel portfolios or hotel loans. Future acquisitions may be funded by our issuance of additional debt or equity securities, including our common and preferred OP units, or by draws on our $150.0 million senior corporate credit facility, which we entered into in November 2010 and amended in September 2012.facility. However, in light of our current financial objectives, we expect to fund any near-termthe majority of our near term acquisitions with a greater proportion of equity capital than debt capital.
We have from time to time divested of assets that no longer fit our target profile, will not offer long-term returns in excess of our cost of capital, or that have a high risk profile relative to their anticipated returns.return expectations. In connection with this strategy, during the nine months ended September 30, 2012,past three years we sold four10 hotels: the Royal Palm Miami Beach in April 2011; the Valley River Inn located in Eugene, Oregon in October 2011; the Marriott Del Mar in August 2012; the Doubletree Guest Suites Minneapolis, the Hilton Del Mar, and the Marriott Troy in September 2012; and the Kahler Grand, the Kahler Inn & Suites, the Marriott Rochester and the Residence Inn by Marriott Rochester (the “Rochester Hotels”) in January 2013. Based on our sale prices, the combined asset value of these 10 hotels andtotals $547.2 million, or $306,000 per key. In addition, during the past three years, we sold the following non-hotel assets: a commercial laundry facility located in Salt Lake City, Utah in July 2011; an office building adjacent to one of the sold hotels: the Marriott Del Mar, located in San Diego, California; the Doubletree Guest Suites Minneapolis, located in Minneapolis, Minnesota; the Hilton Del Mar, located in San Diego, California; the Marriott Troy in September 2012; and a commercial laundry facility located in Troy, Michigan;Rochester, Minnesota in February 2013.
In January 2013, we sold the Rochester Hotels and a commercial laundry facility (together with the Rochester Hotels, the “Rochester Portfolio”) in Rochester, Minnesota, to an office building nextunaffiliated third party, for net proceeds of $195.6 million, of which $6.0 million was used to pay refundable deposits towards two potential hotel acquisitions and $139.4 million is currently held by an accommodator in order to facilitate a potential tax-deferred exchange. The Rochester Hotels include the 660-room Kahler Grand, the 271-room Kahler Inn & Suites, the 202-room Marriott Rochester and the 89-room Residence Inn by Marriott Rochester. We recognized a net gain on the sale of $51.6 million. We retained a $25.0 million preferred equity investment (the “Preferred Equity Investment”) in the Rochester Hotels that yields an 11% dividend, resulting in a deferred gain on the sale of $25.0 million. The $25.0 million gain will be deferred until the Preferred Equity Investment is repaid. We also provided a $3.7 million working cash advance to the Marriott Troy.buyer, resulting in a deferred gain on the sale of $3.7 million. The $3.7 million gain will be deferred until we are repaid from the Rochester Portfolio’s available cash flow. In addition, we retained a $14.0 million liability related to the Rochester Portfolio’s pension plan, which could be triggered in certain circumstances, including termination of the pension plan. The recognition of the $14.0 million pension plan liability reduced our gain on the sale of the Rochester Portfolio. The $14.0 million gain will be recognized, if at all, when and to the extent we are released from any potential liability related to the Rochester Portfolio’s pension plan. Concurrent with the Rochester Portfolio sale, we extinguished the outstanding $26.7 million mortgage secured by the Kahler Grand for a total cost of $29.8 million, prepaid the $0.4 million loan secured by the commercial laundry facility, and recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt of $3.1 million which is included in discontinued operations.
In August 2012,January 2013, we completed the sale of the Marriott Del Mar for a gross sales price of $66.0validly tendered, accepted and repurchased $42.0 million and recognized a gain on the sale of $25.5 million. The buyer of the hotel assumed the $47.1 million mortgage secured by the hotel, resulting in our receipt of net proceeds totaling $17.7 million after proration adjustments and closing costs. In addition, we wrote off $48,000 in deferred financing fees in conjunction with the buyer’s assumption of the debt secured by the Marriott Del Mar.
In September 2012, we completed the portfolio sale of the Doubletree Guest Suites Minneapolis, the Hilton Del Mar, the Marriott Troy and an office building next to the Marriott Troy (the “Portfolio Sale”) for a gross sales price of $105.0 million, and recognized a $12.7 million gain on the sale. The buyer of the portfolio assumed three separate mortgages secured by the hotels totaling $75.6 million: Doubletree Guest Suites Minneapolis $16.9 million; Hilton Del Mar $24.4 million; and Marriott Troy $34.3 million. In addition, the buyer of the portfolio assumed a $2.2 million liability for deferred management fees payable to the Marriott Troy’s third-party manager. We received net proceeds on the portfolio sale of $28.6 million after proration adjustments, closing costs and the debt and deferred management fee assumptions. In addition, we wrote off $137,000 in deferred financing fees in conjunction with the buyer’s assumption of the debt secured by the three hotels.
The mortgages secured by the Marriott Del Mar, Hilton Del Mar and Marriott Troy contain “cash trap” provisions that were triggered in prior years due to the decline in the performance of these hotels. Once triggered, substantially all of the excess cash flow from operations generated by the three hotels was deposited directly into lockbox accounts and then swept into cash management accounts for the benefit of the lenders. Cash was distributed to us only after certain items were paid, including deposits into leasing and maintenance reserve accounts and the payment of debt service, insurance, taxes, operating expenses, and extraordinary capital expenditures and leasing expenses. As of September 30, 2012, a total of $8.1 million of our cash was held by the lenders of these three hotels. The cash will be returned to us once the lenders release the cash to the buyers, which is expected to occur within the near term.
In February 2012, we repurchased $4.5 million in aggregate principal amount of our Operating Partnership’s 4.60% exchangeable senior notes (the “Senior Notes”) for $4.57 million, including $13,000 in interest, using our existing cash. Afterpursuant to a tender offer, and redeemed the repurchase, such Senior Notes were cancelled. We wrote off $47,000 in deferred financing fees and $0.1remaining $16.0 million of the Senior Notes discount, andNotes. We funded the total $58.0 million in Senior Note redemptions with available cash, leaving no future amounts outstanding related to the Senior Notes. We recognized a loss of $0.2 million$44,000 on this early extinguishment of debt.
In April 2012,February 2013, we issued 25,300,000 shares of our common stock, including the underwriters’ over-allotment of 3,300,000 shares, for net proceeds of $294.9 million. We used a portion of these proceeds to redeem all of our existing cash to repay8.0% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (“Series A preferred stock”), and will use the remaining balance onproceeds for potential future acquisitions, capital investment in the $32.2 million non-recourse mortgage secured by the Renaissance Long Beach, which was originally scheduled to mature in July 2012.Company’s portfolio and other general corporate purposes, including working capital.
In September 2012,March 2013, we amendedused a portion of the proceeds we received from our February 2013 common stock offering to redeem all 7,050,000 shares of our Series A preferred stock for an aggregate redemption price of $178.6 million, including $2.3 million in accrued dividends. An additional redemption charge of $4.6 million was recognized related to the original issuance costs of the Series A preferred stock, which were previously included in additional paid in capital. After the redemption date, we have no outstanding shares of Series A preferred stock, and restated our $150.0 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility, which was scheduled to matureall rights of the holders of such shares were terminated. Because the redemption of the Series A preferred stock is a redemption in November 2013. The pricingfull, trading of the Series A preferred stock on the amended revolving credit facility was significantly reduced andNew York Stock Exchange ceased after the 1% LIBOR floor was eliminated. The maturity of the credit facility was extended to November 2015 with an option to extend to November 2016. The amended credit facility’s interest rate is based on a pricing grid with a range of 175 to 350 basis points, which represents a reduction from the previous grid that ranged from 325 to 425 basis points over LIBOR depending on our leverage ratio. The credit facility also includes an accordion option that allows us to request additional lender commitments up to a total of $350.0 million. We paid $1.3 million in deferred financing fees in conjunction with this amendment, which will be amortized over the term of the amended credit facility. The credit facility currently has no outstanding borrowings; however, as of September 30, 2012, we have $3.8 million in outstanding irrevocable letters of credit backed by the credit facility.redemption date.
As of September 30, 2012,March 31, 2013, the weighted average term to maturity of our debt is approximately 5.3four years, and 70.2%68.2% of our debt is fixed rate with a weighted average interest rate of 5.5%5.6%. The weighted average interest rate on all of our debt, is 5.0% (including the effect ofwhich includes our interest rate derivative agreementsvariable-rate debt obligations based on the variable rates at September 30, 2012). Of our total debt as of September 30, 2012, approximately $219.7 million matures over the next four years (none in 2012, $58.0 million inMarch 31, 2013 assuming we redeem our Senior Notes remaining balance of $58.0 million at the first put date in 2013, none in 2014 and $161.7 million in 2015)is 4.9%. The $219.7 million does not include $4.7 million of scheduled loan amortization payments due over the remainder of 2012, $20.6 million due in 2013, $23.1 million due in 2014, or $21.7 million due in 2015.
Operating Activities
Operating Performance Indicators. The following performance indicators are commonly used in the hotel industry:
· Occupancy;
· Average daily room rate, or ADR;
· Revenue per available room, or RevPAR, which is the product of occupancy and ADR, and does not include food and beverage revenue, or other operating revenue;
· Comparable RevPAR, which we define as the RevPAR generated by hotels we owned as of the end of the reporting period, but excluding those hotels that we classified as held for sale. For hotels that were not owned for the entirety of the comparison periods, comparable RevPAR is calculated using RevPAR generated during periods of prior ownership. We refer to this subset of our hotels used to calculate comparable RevPAR as our “Comparable Portfolio.” Currently our Comparable Portfolio includes all 3026 hotels in which we have interests as of September 30, 2012.March 31, 2013. In addition, our Comparable Portfolio includes prior ownership results for the Doubletree Guest Suites Times Square, the JW Marriott New Orleans, the Hilton San Diego Bayfront, the Hyatt Chicago Magnificent Mile and the Hilton Garden Inn Chicago Downtown/Magnificent Mile;
· RevPAR index, which is the quotient of a hotel’s RevPAR divided by the average RevPAR of its competitors, multiplied by 100. A RevPAR index in excess of 100 indicates a hotel is achieving higher RevPAR than its competitors. In addition to absolute RevPAR index, we monitor changes in RevPAR index;
· Operating flow through, which is the quotient of operating income divided by revenues;
· EBITDA, which is net income (loss) excluding: non-controlling interests; interest expense; provision for income taxes, including income taxes applicable to sale of assets; and depreciation and amortization;
· Adjusted EBITDA, which includes EBITDA but excludes: amortization of deferred stock compensation; the impact of any gain or loss from asset sales; impairment charges; prior year property tax and other adjustments,adjustments; and any other identified adjustments;
· Funds from operations, or FFO, which includes net income (loss), excluding non-controlling interests, gains and losses from sales of property, plus real estate-related depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs) and real-estate relatedreal estate-related impairment losses, and after adjustment for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures; and
· Adjusted FFO, which includes FFO but excludes penalties, written-off deferred financing costs, non-real estate-related impairment losses, income tax provisions, and any other identified adjustments.

· Food and beverage revenue, which is comprised of revenue realized in the hotel food and beverage outlets as well as banquet and catering events; and
· Other operating revenue, which includes ancillary hotel revenue and other items primarily driven by occupancy such as telephone, transportation, parking, spa, entertainment and other guest services. Additionally, this category includes, among other things, operating revenue from our commercial laundry facility located in Rochester, Minnesota, BuyEfficient (subsequent to our purchase of the outside 50.0% equity interest in January 2011), and hotel space leased by third parties.
Expenses. Our expenses consist of the following:
· Room expense, which is primarily driven by occupancy and, therefore, has a significant correlation with room revenue;
· Food and beverage expense, which is primarily driven by food and beverage sales and banquet and catering bookings and, therefore, has a significant correlation with food and beverage revenue;
· Other operating expense, which includes the corresponding expense of other operating revenue, advertising and promotion, repairs and maintenance, utilities, and franchise costs;
· Property tax, ground lease and insurance expense, which includes the expenses associated with property tax, ground lease and insurance payments, each of which is primarily a fixed expense, but property tax is subject to regular revaluations based on the specific tax regulations and practices of each municipality;

Factors Affecting Our Operating Results. The primary factors affecting our operating results include overall demand for hotel rooms, the pace of new hotel development, or supply, and the relative performance of our operators in increasing revenue and controlling hotel operating expenses.
· Demand. The demand for lodging generally fluctuates with the overall economy. InSince 2010, following a two year cyclical trough, we begancontinue to see signs of improving demand trends, andtrends. In 2012, Comparable Portfolio RevPAR increased 5.3%5.6% as compared to 2009,2011, with a 180280 basis point increase in portfolio occupancy. These improving demand trends continued in 2011 and in the first nine monthsquarter of 2012. As a result, our2013, and Comparable Portfolio RevPAR increased 7.2%2.1% in 2011 as
compared to 2010, 5.1% in the third quarter of 20122013 as compared to the thirdsame period in 2012, even as occupancy declined 140 basis points due to the fact that several of our hotels were under major room renovations during the first quarter of 2011, and 6.2% in the first nine months of 2012 as compared to the first nine months of 2011. Portfolio occupancy increased 260 basis points in 2011 as compared to 2010, 230 basis points in the third quarter of 2012 as compared to the third quarter of 2011, and 330 basis points in the first nine months of 2012 as compared to the first nine months of 2011.2013. Consistent with prior trends, we anticipate that lodging demand will continue to improve as the U.S. economy continues to strengthen. Historically, cyclical troughs are followed by extended periods of relatively strong demand, resulting in a cyclical lodging growth phase. While growth is not expected to be uniform, we do expect hotel demand to remain strong over the next several quarters as economic growthif the U.S. economy continues to grow and employment are expected to increase.levels improve.
· Supply. The addition of new competitive hotels affects the ability of existing hotels to drive RevPAR and profits. The development of new hotels is largely driven by construction costs and expected performance of existing hotels. The recession and credit crisis which occurred in 2008 and 2009, served to restrict credit and tighten lending standards, which resulted in a curtailment of funding for new hotel construction projects. Moreover, with same-property hotel profitability still below peak levels and hotel trading values generally well below replacement cost, new supply in many markets is difficult to justify economically. Accordingly, we believe hotel development will be constrained until such time as the construction financing markets recover, and operating trends and trading values of existing hotels improve to levels where developer return targets can be achieved. Given the one-to-three-year timeline needed to construct a typical hotel that would compete with our hotels, we expect a window of at least two to fourseveral years during which aggregate U.S. hotel supply, as indicated by the number of new hotel room openings, will be below historical levels. On a market-by-market basis, some markets may experience new hotel room openings at or greater than historic levels, including in New York City where there is currently a higher-than-average supply of new hotel room openings. In addition, lenders are seeking higher yielding instruments, which may lead to riskier lending practices, including lending on new hotel construction.
· Revenues and expenses. We believe that marginal improvements in RevPAR index, even in the face of declining revenues, are a good indicator of the relative quality and appeal of our hotels, and our operators’ effectiveness in maximizing revenues. Similarly, we also evaluate our operators’ effectiveness in minimizing incremental operating expenses in the context of increasing revenues or, conversely, in reducing operating expenses in the context of declining revenues.
With respect to improving RevPAR index, we continue to work with our hotel operators to optimize revenue management initiatives while taking into consideration market demand trends and the pricing strategies of competitor hotels in our markets. We also develop capital investment programs designed to ensure each of our hotels is well renovated and positioned to appeal to groups and individual travelers fitting target guest profiles. Increased capital investment in our properties may lead to short-term revenue disruption and negatively impact RevPAR index. Our revenue management initiatives are generally oriented towards maximizing ADR even if the result may be lower occupancy than may be achieved through lower ADR. Increases in RevPAR attributable to increases in ADR may be accompanied by minimal additional expenses, while increases in RevPAR attributable to higher occupancy may result in higher variable expenses such as housekeeping, labor and utilities expense. Thus, increases in RevPAR associated with higher ADR may result in higher hotel EBITDA margins. Increases in RevPAR associated with higher occupancy may result in more muted hotel EBITDA margin improvement. Through September 30, 2012, our year-to-dateOur Comparable Portfolio RevPAR index, has remained flatwhich was negatively impacted by several capital investment programs at 114.5our hotels, decreased 250 basis points during the first quarter of 2013 as compared to the same period in 2011.2012.
With respect to maximizing operating flow through, we continue to work with our operators to identify operational efficiencies designed to reduce expenses while minimally affecting guest experience. Key asset management initiatives include optimizing hotel staffing levels, increasing the efficiency of the hotels, such as installing energy efficient management and inventory control systems, and selectively combining certain food and beverage outlets. Our operational efficiency initiatives may be difficult to implement, as most categories of variable operating expenses, such as utilities and housekeeping labor costs, fluctuate with changes in occupancy. Furthermore, our hotels operate with significant fixed costs, such as general and administrative expense, insurance, property taxes, and other expenses associated with owning hotels, over which our operators have little control. We have experienced either currently or in the past, increases in hourly wages, employee benefits (especially health insurance), utility costs and property insurance, which have negatively affected our operating margins. Moreover, there are limits to how far our operators can reduce expenses without affecting brand standards or the competitiveness of our hotels. Through September 30, 2012, our year-to-dateOur Comparable Portfolio operating flow through was approximately 45.7%.22.7% during the first quarter of 2013 as compared to the same period in 2012.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures. TheWe use the following table reconciles net income (loss)“non-GAAP financial measures” that we believe are useful to investors as key supplemental measures of our operating performance: EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, FFO and Adjusted FFO. These measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance in accordance with GAAP. EBITDA, forAdjusted EBITDA, FFO and Adjusted FFO, as calculated by us, may not be comparable to other companies that do not define such terms exactly as the Company. These non-GAAP measures are used in addition to and in conjunction with results presented in accordance with GAAP. They should not be considered as alternatives to operating profit, cash flow from operations, or any other operating performance measure prescribed by GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures reflect additional ways of viewing our hotel portfolio foroperations that we believe, when viewed with our GAAP results and the threereconciliations to the corresponding GAAP financial measures, provide a more complete understanding of factors and nine months ended September 30, 2012trends affecting our business than could be obtained absent this disclosure. We strongly encourage investors to review our financial information in its entirety and 2011.not to rely on a single financial measure.
EBITDA is a commonly used measure of performance in many industries. We believe EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA areis useful to investors in evaluating our operating performance because these measures helpthis measure helps investors evaluate and compare the results of our operations from period to period by removing the impact of our capital structure (primarily interest expense) and our asset base (primarily depreciation and amortization) from our operating results. We also believe the use of EBITDA facilitates comparisons between us and other lodging REITs, hotel owners who are not REITs and other capital-intensive companies. In addition, certain covenants included in our indebtedness use EBITDA as a measure of financial compliance. We also use EBITDA as a measure in determining the value of hotel acquisitions and dispositions.
Historically, we have adjusted EBITDA when evaluating our performance because we believe that the exclusion of certain additional items described below provides useful information to investors regarding our operating performance and that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA, when combined with the primary GAAP presentation of net income, is beneficial to an investor’s complete understanding of our operating performance. We adjust EBITDA for the following items, which may occur in any period, and refer to this measure as Adjusted EBITDA:
·Amortization of deferred stock compensation: we exclude the non-cash expense incurred with the amortization of deferred stock compensation as this expense does not reflect the underlying performance of our hotels.
32·Amortization of favorable and unfavorable contracts: we exclude the non-cash amortization of the favorable management contract asset and the unfavorable tenant lease liability recorded in conjunction with our acquisition of the Hilton Garden Inn Chicago Downtown/Magnificent Mile. The amortization of favorable and unfavorable contracts does not reflect the underlying performance of our hotels.
·Ground rent adjustments: we exclude the non-cash expense incurred from straightlining our ground lease obligations as this expense does not reflect the underlying performance of our hotels. We do however, include an adjustment for the cash ground lease expense recorded on the Hyatt Chicago Magnificent Mile’s building lease. Upon acquisition of this hotel, we determined that the building lease was a capital lease, and, therefore, we include a portion of the capital lease payment each month in interest expense. We include an adjustment for ground lease expense on capital leases in order to more accurately reflect the operating performance of the Hyatt Chicago Magnificent Mile.
·Real estate transactions: we exclude the effect of gains and losses on the disposition of depreciable assets because we believe that including them in Adjusted EBITDA is not consistent with reflecting the ongoing performance of our assets. In addition, material gains or losses from the depreciated value of the disposed assets could be less important to investors given that the depreciated asset value often does not reflect its market value.
·Gains or losses from extinguishment of debt: we exclude the effect of finance charges and premiums associated with the extinguishment of debt, including the acceleration of deferred financing costs from the original issuance of the debt being redeemed or retired because, like interest expense, their removal helps investors evaluate and compare the results of our operations from period to period by removing the impact of our capital structure.
·Acquisition costs: under GAAP, costs associated with completed acquisitions are expensed in the year incurred. We exclude the effect of these costs because we believe they are not reflective of the ongoing performance of the Company.
·Consolidated partnership adjustments: we deduct the non-controlling partner’s pro rata share of any EBITDA adjustments related to our consolidated Hilton San Diego Bayfront partnership.
(primarily·Cumulative effect of a change in accounting principal: infrequently, the FASB promulgates new accounting standards that require the consolidated statement of operations to reflect the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principal. We exclude these one-time adjustments because they do not reflect our actual performance for that period.
·Impairment losses: we exclude the effect of impairment losses because we believe that including them in Adjusted EBITDA is not consistent with reflecting the ongoing performance of our remaining assets. In addition, we believe that impairment charges, which are based off of historical cost account values, are similar to gains (losses) on dispositions and depreciation expense, both of which are also excluded from EBITDA.
·Other adjustments: we exclude other adjustments such as lawsuit settlement costs, prior year property tax assessments, management company transition costs, and amortization) fromdepartmental closing costs, including severance, because we do not believe these costs reflect the ongoing operations of our operating results. We also usehotels.
The following table reconciles our unaudited net income (loss) to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as measures in determiningfor our hotel portfolio for the value of hotel acquisitionsthree months ended March 31, 2013 and dispositions. We caution investors that amounts presented in accordance with our definitions of EBITDA and 2012.

Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by other companies, because not all companies calculate these non-GAAP measures inwas $38.4 million for the same manner. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative measure of our net income (loss), operating performance, cash flow or liquidity. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may include funds that may not be available for our discretionary use to fund interest expense, capital expenditures or general corporate purposes. Although we believe that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA can enhance an investor’s understanding of our results of operations, these non-GAAP financial measures, when viewed individually, are not necessarily better indicators of any trendthree months ended March 31, 2013 as compared to GAAP measures such$43.1 million for the same period in 2012. Adjusted EBITDA decreased $4.7 million in 2013 as net income (loss) or cash flow from operations. In addition, you should be aware that adverse economiccompared to 2012, as additional earnings generated by the two hotels we acquired in 2012 (the Hyatt Chicago Magnificent Mile and market conditions may harmthe Hilton Garden Inn Chicago Downtown/Magnificent Mile), were offset by a decrease in earnings caused by major room renovations at four of our cash flow.hotels: the Hilton Times Square; the Hyatt Chicago Magnificent Mile; the Hyatt Regency Newport Beach; and the Renaissance Westchester.

Adjusted EBITDA was $60.1 million and $52.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and $174.3 million and $148.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended September 30, 2012 increased $7.7 million as compared to the same period in 2011 due to additional earnings generated by the Hyatt Chicago Magnificent Mile, which we purchased in June 2012, and the Hilton Garden Inn Chicago Downtown/Magnificent Mile, which we purchased in July 2012, combined with increased earnings at our other hotels. Adjusted EBITDA for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 increased $25.8 million as compared to the same period in 2011 due to additional earnings generated by the Hyatt Chicago Magnificent Mile, which we purchased in June 2012, and the Hilton Garden Inn Chicago Downtown/Magnificent Mile, which we purchased in July 2012, combined with additional earnings generated by the three hotels we purchased during the first nine months of 2011: the Doubletree Guest Suites Times Square acquired in January 2011; the JW Marriott New Orleans acquired in February 2011; and the Hilton San Diego Bayfront acquired in April 2011. Adjusted EBITDA for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 also increased as compared to the same period in 2011 due to increased earnings at our other hotels.
The following table reconciles net income (loss) to FFO and Adjusted FFO for our hotel portfolio for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011. We believe that the presentation of FFO and Adjusted FFO provides useful information to investors regarding our operating performance because they are measuresit is a measure of our operations without regard to specified non-cash items such as real estate depreciation and amortization, amortization of lease intangibles, any real estate impairment loss and any gain or loss on sale of real estate assets, all of which are based on historical cost accounting and may be of lesser significance in evaluating our current performance. We believe the use of FFO facilitates comparisons between us and other lodging REITs.
We also present Adjusted FFO when evaluating our operating performance because we believe that the exclusion of certain otheradditional items described below provides useful supplemental information to investors regarding our ongoing operating performance, and may facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods and our peer companies. We adjust FFO for the following items, which may occur in any period, and refer to this measure as Adjusted FFO:
·Amortization of favorable and unfavorable contracts: we believe are not indicativeexclude the non-cash amortization of the favorable management contract asset and the unfavorable tenant lease liability recorded in conjunction with our acquisition of the Hilton Garden Inn Chicago Downtown/Magnificent Mile. The amortization of favorable and unfavorable contracts does not reflect the underlying performance of our hotels.
·Non-cash ground rent adjustments: we exclude the non-cash expense incurred from straightlining our ground lease obligations as this expense does not reflect the underlying hotel properties.performance of our hotels.
·Gains or losses from extinguishment of debt: we exclude the effect of finance charges and premiums associated with the extinguishment of debt, including the acceleration of deferred financing costs from the original issuance of the debt being redeemed or retired. We also exclude the non-cash gains or losses on our derivatives, as well as the original issuance costs associated with the redemption of preferred stock. We believe that these items are more representativenot reflective of our asset base and our acquisition and disposition activities than our ongoing operations.finance costs.
·Acquisition costs: under GAAP, costs associated with completed acquisitions are expensed in the year incurred. We also useexclude the effect of these costs because we believe they are not reflective of the ongoing performance of the Company.
·Impairment losses: we exclude the effect of non-real estate impairment losses because we believe that including them in Adjusted FFO as one measure in determining our results after taking into accountis not consistent with reflecting the impactongoing performance of our capital structure. We caution investors that amounts presented in accordance withremaining assets.
·Consolidated partnership adjustments: we deduct the non-controlling partner’s pro rata share of any FFO adjustments related to our definitionsconsolidated Hilton San Diego Bayfront partnership.
·Other adjustments: we exclude other adjustments such as lawsuit settlement costs, prior year property tax assessments, management company transition costs, departmental closing costs, including severance, and income tax provisions because we do not believe these costs reflect the ongoing operations of our hotels.
The following table reconciles our unaudited net income (loss) to FFO and Adjusted FFO may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by other companies, because not all companies calculate these non-GAAP measures in the same manner.

In January 2011, we purchasedMarch 31, 2013 and zero for the outside interests in both our Doubletree Guest Suites Times Square joint venture and our BuyEfficient joint venture, and became the sole owner of both entities. Previously, our investment in the Doubletree Guest Suites Times Square joint venture consisted of a 38.0% equity interest in the hotel and a $30.0 million, 8.5% mezzanine loan maturing in January 2017 secured by the equity interests in the hotel.three months ended March 31, 2012. During the fourthfirst quarter of 2013, we recognized income tax expense of $4.7 million due to a resolution reached with the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”). The Company leases its hotels to the TRS Lessee and its subsidiaries, which are subject to federal and state income taxes. In the first quarter of 2013, the IRS issued a notice of proposed adjustment to us, challenging certain aspects of our leases with our TRS Lessee and its subsidiaries. Though we believe our leases comply with all Code requirements, we determined that the costs associated with defending our position were greater than the benefits that might result therefrom. As such, we accrued $4.7 million in March 2013 related to the IRS’s audit of tax years 2008, 2009 and 2010, including $0.6 million in accrued interest. We recorded additional income tax expense of $1.5 million during the Doubletree Guest Suites Times Square recorded an impairment loss, effectively reducingfirst quarter of 2013 based on the ongoing evaluations of our investment inuncertain tax positions related to the partnership to zero as ofyear ended December 31, 2009. In conjunction2012, and as a result of our recent resolution of outstanding issues with the acquisition of the outside 62.0% equity interests in the Doubletree Guest Suites Times Square in January 2011, we adjusted both our investment in the Doubletree Guest Suites Times Square joint venture and the mezzanine loan to their fair market values, and recorded gains totaling $60.5 million on the remeasurement. In addition, in conjunction with the acquisition of the outside 50.0% equity interest in the BuyEfficient joint venture in January 2011, we adjusted our investment up to its fair market value, and recorded a gain of $8.7 million on the remeasurement.IRS.

Consistent with the Presentation Topic of the FASB ASC, our net income (loss) for the three and nine months ended September 30,March 31, 2013 and 2012 and 2011 includes 100% of the net income (loss) generated during our ownership period by the entity that owns the Hilton San Diego Bayfront. The outside 25.0% interest in the entity that owns the Hilton San Diego Bayfront earned net income of $0.8$0.3 million and $1.7$0.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30,March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and a net loss of $31,000 and net income of $0.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively.

This increase was partially offset by a decrease in preferred stock dividends due to our redemption of all 7,050,000 shares of Series DA preferred stock causing us to incur an additional $2.4 million in dividends during the nine months ended September 30, 2012.on March 1, 2013.

Investing Activities
Acquisitions. We believe we are in the first halfmiddle phase of a potentially prolonged cyclical lodging industry recovery. Accordingly, we further believe that hotels acquired over the next several quarters are likely to benefit from a multi-year recovery in hotel profitability, and may create long-term value in excess of our investment hurdles. During 2011 and year-to-date in 2012,Therefore, we have made several selective acquisitions including: the purchase of the outside 62.0% equity interests in our Doubletree Guest Suites Times Square joint venture in January 2011; the purchase of the outside 50.0% equity interest in our BuyEfficient joint venture in January 2011; the purchase of the JW Marriott New Orleans in February 2011; the purchase of a 75.0% majority interest in a joint venture that owns the Hilton San Diego Bayfront in April 2011; the purchase of the Wyndham Chicago in June 2012 (which we immediately rebrandedselectively acquired two hotels during 2012: the Hyatt Chicago Magnificent Mile);Mile in June 2012; and the purchase of the Hilton Garden Inn Chicago Downtown/Magnificent Mile in July 2012. In addition, we acquired the Hilton New Orleans St. Charles Avenue on May 1, 2013, and we are currently under contract to purchase the Boston Park Plaza, which we expect to close in or before July 2013.
On June 4, 2012, we purchased the leasehold interest in the 417-room Wyndham Chicago located in Chicago, Illinois for a contractual purchase price of $88.425 million. The acquisition was funded with $29.7 million of cash on hand (including $0.3 million of proration credits) and the issuance of 5,454,164 shares of our common stock, the “Wyndham stock consideration.” The Wyndham stock consideration was determined by dividing $58.425 million by the product of (1) the closing price of $10.71 on the NYSE of our common stock on May 2, 2012 and (2) 1.03. In connection with this acquisition, we entered into a registration rights agreement requiring us to register the Wyndham stock consideration. We prepared the registration statement on Form S-3, which we filed with the SEC as required on June 4, 2012. Based on the $9.38 closing price of the Company’s common stock on the NYSE on June 4, 2012, the total purchase price of the Wyndham Chicago hotel for accounting purposes was $81.16 million, excluding proration adjustments and closing costs. Upon closing, we terminated the existing management agreement and entered into a new management agreement with Davidson Hotels & Resorts. We rebranded the hotel the Hyatt Chicago Magnificent Mile and immediately commenced planning for a $25.0 million renovation program (a portion of which will be funded by Hyatt Corporation).
On July 19, 2012, we purchased the 357-room Hilton Garden Inn Chicago Downtown/Magnificent Mile located in Chicago, Illinois for a net purchase price of $90.3 million. The acquisition was funded with a portion of the $126.2 million net proceeds we received from the issuance of 12,143,273 shares of our common stock on June 25, 2012.
While our primary focus is on acquiring branded, urban, upper-upscaleupper upscale hotels, our acquisition program is aimed at generating attractive risk-adjusted returns on our investment dollars, and therefore we may target lodging assets outside of the typical branded, urban, upper upscale profile represented by our existing portfolio in order to capitalize on opportunities which may arise. We intend to select the brands and operators for our hotels that we believe will lead to the highest returns. Additionally, the scope of our acquisitions program may include large hotel portfolios or hotel loans. Future acquisitions may be funded by our issuance of additional debt or equity securities, including our common and preferred OP units, or by draws on our $150.0 million senior corporate credit facility which we entered into in November 2010 and amended in September 2012. However, in light of our current financial objectives, we expect to fund any near-termnear term acquisitions with a greater proportion of equity capital than debt capital.
Dispositions. We have from time to time divested of assets that no longer fit our target profile, will not offer long-term returns in excess of our cost of capital, or that have high risk relative to their anticipated returns. In connection with this strategy, during 2012 and the ninefirst three months ended September 30, 2012,of 2013, we sold four hotelseight hotels: the Marriott Del Mar in August 2012; the Doubletree Guest Suites Minneapolis, the Hilton Del Mar, and the Marriott Troy in September 2012; and the Rochester Hotels in January 2013. In addition, we sold an office building adjacent to one of the sold hotels: the Marriott Del Mar, located in San Diego, California; the Doubletree Guest Suites Minneapolis, located in Minneapolis, Minnesota; the Hilton Del Mar, located in San Diego, California; the Marriott Troy located in Troy, Michigan;September 2012, and an office building next to the Marriott Troy.commercial laundry facility included with the Rochester Portfolio in January 2013.
In January 2013, we sold the Rochester Portfolio to an unaffiliated third party, for net proceeds of $195.6 million, of which $6.0 million was used to pay refundable deposits towards two potential hotel acquisitions and $139.4 million is currently held by an accommodator in order to facilitate a potential tax-deferred exchange. We recognized a net gain on the sale of $51.6 million. We retained the $25.0 million Preferred Equity Investment in the Rochester Hotels that yields an 11% dividend, resulting in a deferred
In August 2012, we completed the sale of the Marriott Del Mar for a gross sales price of $66.0 million, and recognized a gain on the sale of $25.5$25.0 million. The $25.0 million gain will be deferred until the Preferred Equity Investment is repaid. We also provided a $3.7 million working cash advance to the buyer, resulting in a deferred gain on the sale of $3.7 million. The $3.7 million gain will be deferred until we are repaid from the Rochester Portfolio’s available cash flow. In addition, we retained a $14.0 million liability related to the Rochester Portfolio’s pension plan, which could be triggered in certain circumstances, including termination of the hotel assumedpension plan. The recognition of the $47.1$14.0 million pension plan liability reduced our gain on the sale of the Rochester Portfolio. The $14.0 million gain will be recognized, if at all, when and to the extent we are released from any potential liability related to the Rochester Portfolio’s pension plan. Concurrent with the Rochester Portfolio sale, we extinguished the outstanding $26.7 million mortgage secured by the hotel, resulting in our receiptKahler Grand for a total cost of net proceeds totaling $17.7$29.8 million, after proration adjustments and closing costs. In addition, we wrote off $48,000 in deferred financing fees in conjunction withprepaid the buyer’s assumption of the debt$0.4 million loan secured by the Marriott Del Mar.
In September 2012, we completed the Portfolio Sale for a gross sales price of $105.0 million, and recognized a $12.7 million gain on the sale. The buyer of the portfolio assumed three separate mortgages secured by the hotels totaling $75.6 million: Doubletree Guest Suites Minneapolis $16.9 million; Hilton Del Mar $24.4 million; and Marriott Troy $34.3 million. In addition, the buyer of the portfolio assumed a $2.2 million liability for deferred management fees payable to the Marriott Troy’s third-party manager. We received net proceeds on the portfolio sale of $28.6 million after proration adjustments, closing costs and the debt and deferred management fee assumptions. In addition, we wrote off $137,000 in deferred financing fees in conjunction with the buyer’s assumption of the debt secured by the three hotels.
The mortgages secured by the Marriott Del Mar, Hilton Del Mar and Marriott Troy contain “cash trap” provisions that were triggered in prior years due to the decline in the performance of these hotels. Once triggered, substantially all of the excess cash flow from operations generated by the three hotels was deposited directly into lockbox accounts and then swept into cash management accounts for the benefit of the lenders. Cash was distributed to us only after certain items were paid, including deposits into leasing and maintenance reserve accounts and the payment of debt service, insurance, taxes, operating expenses, and extraordinary capital expenditures and leasing expenses. As of September 30, 2012, a total of $8.1 million of our cash was held by the lenders of these three hotels. The cash will be returned to us once the lenders release the cash to the buyers, which is expected to occur within the near term.

Our primary uses of cash were for acquisitions of hotel properties, and other assets, capital expenditures for hotels, operating expenses, repayment of notes payable (including repurchases of Senior Notes) and our credit facility, repurchases of our preferred stock, dividends on our preferred stock and distributions to our joint venture partners. We cannot be certain that traditional sources of funds will be available in the future.

Future. We expect our primary uses of cash to be for acquisitions of hotels, including possibly hotel portfolios, capital investments in our hotels, operating expenses, repayment of principal on our notes payable and credit facility, interest expense, dividends and dividends.redemptions of our preferred stock. We expect our primary sources of cash will continue to be our operating activities, working capital, notes payable, dispositionsdistributions of hotel properties, and proceeds from public and private offerings of debt securities and common and preferred stock. Our financial objectives include the measured improvement of our credit ratios, maintenance of appropriate levels of liquidity, and a gradual reduction in our financial leverage. In light of our leverage objectives, in the near-term, we expect to fund acquisitions largely through the issuance of equity in order to grow the quality and scale of our portfolio while reducing our leverage. Our acquisitions of the Hyatt Chicago Magnificent Mile and the Hilton Garden Inn Chicago Downtown/Magnificent Mile in June 2012 and July 2012, respectively, were consistent with this strategy. Our ability to raise funds through the issuance of equity securities depends on, among other things, general market conditions for hotel companies and REITs and market perceptions about us. We will continue to analyze alternate sources of capital in an effort to minimize our capital costs and maximize our financial flexibility. However, when needed, the capital markets may not be available to us on favorable terms or at all.
We believe that our current cash balance, our cash flow from operations, our access to capital markets and our unencumbered properties will provide us with sufficient liquidity to meet our current operating expenses and other expenses directly associated with our business (including payment of dividends on our capital stock, if declared) for the foreseeable future, and in any event for at least the next 12 months.
Debt. In February 2012,Concurrent with the Rochester Portfolio sale in January 2013, we repurchased $4.5 million in aggregate principal amount of our Operating Partnership’s 4.60% exchangeable senior notes (the “Senior Notes”) for $4.57 million, including $13,000 in interest, using our existing cash. Afterextinguished the repurchase, such Senior Notes were cancelled. We wrote off $47,000 in deferred financing fees and $0.1 million of the Senior Notes discount, and recognized a loss of $0.2 million on this early extinguishment of debt.
In April 2012, we used existing cash to repay the remaining $32.2 million balance of the non-recourse mortgage secured by the Renaissance Long Beach. In connection with this repayment, we wrote off $3,000 in deferred financing fees.
In August 2012, we completed the sale of the Marriott Del Mar for a gross sales price of $66.0 million, including the buyer’s assumption of the $47.1outstanding $26.7 million mortgage secured by the hotel,Kahler Grand for a total cost of $29.8 million, prepaid the $0.4 million loan secured by the commercial laundry facility, and wrote off $48,000recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt of $3.1 million which is included in related deferred financing fees.discontinued operations.
In September 2012,January 2013, we completedvalidly tendered, accepted and repurchased $42.0 million of Senior Notes pursuant to a tender offer, and we redeemed the Portfolio Sale for a gross sales price of $105.0remaining $16.0 million including the buyer’s assumption of the three mortgages secured bySenior Notes. We funded the hotels totaling $75.6 million, and wrote off $137,000 in related deferred financing fees.
In September 2012, we amended and restated our $150.0 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility, which was scheduled to mature in November 2013. The pricing on the amended revolving credit facility was significantly reduced and the 1% LIBOR floor was eliminated. The maturity of the credit facility was extended to November 2015 with an option to extend to November 2016. The amended credit facility’s interest rate is based on a pricing grid with a range of 175 to 350 basis points, which represents a reduction from the previous grid that ranged from 325 to 425 basis points over LIBOR depending on our leverage ratio. The credit facility also includes an accordion option that allows us to request additional lender commitments up to a total of $350.0 million. We paid $1.3$58.0 million in deferred financing fees in conjunctionSenior Note redemptions with available cash, leaving no future amounts outstanding related to the Senior Notes. We recognized a loss of $44,000 on this amendment, which will be amortized over the termextinguishment of the amended credit facility. The credit facility currently has no outstanding borrowings; however, as of September 30, 2012, we have $3.8 million in outstanding irrevocable letters of credit backed by the credit facility.debt.
As of September 30, 2012,March 31, 2013, we had $1.4$1.3 billion of debt, $241.3$417.2 million of cash and cash equivalents, including restricted cash, and total assets of $3.1$3.2 billion. We believe that by controlling debt levels, staggering maturity dates and maintaining a highly flexible capital structure, we can maintain lower capital costs than more highly leveraged companies, or companies with limited flexibility due to restrictive corporate-level financial covenants.
As of September 30, 2012,March 31, 2013, all of our outstanding debt had fixed interest rates, except the $235.5$233.9 million non-recourse mortgage on the Hilton San Diego Bayfront and the $180.0 million non-recourse mortgage on the Doubletree Guest Suites Times Square, both of which are subject to interest rate cap agreements. The interest rate cap agreement on the Hilton San Diego Bayfront mortgage maturesmatured in April 2013, and capped the 3-month LIBOR rate at 3.75%. In April 2013, we purchased a new cap agreement on the Hilton San Diego Bayfront mortgage for $12,200, which caps the 3-month LIBOR rate at 3.75%. The and matures in April 2015.The interest rate cap agreement on the Doubletree Guest Suites Times Square mortgage matures in October 2015, and caps the 3-month LIBOR rate at 4.0%. The majority of our mortgage debt is in the form of single asset loans. We currently believe this structure is appropriate for the operating characteristics of our business and provides flexibility for assets to be sold subject to the existing debt, and as evidenced by our 2009 secured debt restructuring program, in instances where asset values have declined to levels below the principal amount of the associated mortgage, non-recourse single asset mortgages may limit the degradation in value experienced by our stockholders by shifting a portion of asset risk to our secured lenders.
As of September 30, 2012,March 31, 2013, the weighted average term to maturity of our debt is approximately 5.34 years, and 70.2%68.2% of our debt is fixed rate with a weighted average interest rate of 5.5%5.6%. The weighted average interest rate on all ofIncluding our variable-rate debt at September 30, 2012 is 5.0% (including the effect of our interest rate derivative agreementsobligations based on the variable rates at September 30, 2012). Our first loan maturity consists ofMarch 31, 2013, the Senior Notes, assuming we repay the remaining balance of $58.0 million at the first put date in January 2013. We expect to repay the remaining Senior Notes balance with existing cash.weighted average interest rate on our debt is 4.9%.
Financial Covenants. We are subject to compliance with various covenants under the Series C preferred stock and the Senior Notes. With respect to our Series C preferred stock, ifstock. If we fail to meet certain financial ratios for four consecutive quarters, a financial ratio violation will occur. During the continuation of a financial ratio violation, among other things, we would be restricted from paying dividends on our common stock, and may incur a 50 basis point per quarter dividend increase on the Series C preferred stock. Additionally, the Series C preferred stockholders would gain the right to appoint one board member. We do not currently expect to incur a financial ratio violation. On May 6, 2013, we announced our intention to redeem all 4,102,564 shares of our Series C preferred stock. The redemption date will be May 31, 2013. The Series C preferred stock will be redeemed at a redemption price of $24.375 per share, plus accrued and unpaid dividends up to and including the redemption date. After the redemption date, we will have no outstanding shares of Series C preferred stock, and all rights of the holders of such shares will be terminated.
With respect to our Senior Notes, if the maturity dates35
Additionally, weWe may in the future seek to obtain mortgages on one or all of our 1411 unencumbered hotels, all but two of which are currently held by subsidiaries whose interests are pledged to our credit facility at September 30, 2012:March 31, 2013: Courtyard by Marriott Los Angeles, Fairmont Newport Beach, Hilton Garden Inn Chicago Downtown/Magnificent Mile (not pledged to our credit facility), Hyatt
Chicago Magnificent Mile (not pledged to our credit facility), Hyatt Regency Newport Beach, Kahler Inn & Suites, Marriott Quincy, Marriott Portland, Marriott Rochester, Renaissance Long Beach, Renaissance Los Angeles Airport, Renaissance Westchester Residence Inn by Marriott Rochester and Sheraton Cerritos. These 1411 hotels had an aggregate of 4,5043,942 rooms as of September 30, 2012,March 31, 2013, and generated $186.1$45.9 million in revenue during the first nine monthsquarter of 2012, including revenue generated prior to our ownership as applicable.2013. Should we obtain secured financing on any or all of our 1411 unencumbered hotels, the amount of capital available through our credit facility may be reduced.
Cash Balance. As of September 30, 2012,March 31, 2013, our unrestricted cash balance of $164.5$208.3 million exceeds all of our pending debt maturities through April 2015. By minimizing our need to access external capital by maintaining higher than typical cash balances, our financial security and flexibility are meaningfully enhanced because we are able to fund our business needs and debt maturities partially with our existing cash. As we believe the lodging cycle is in the first half of a potentially prolonged cyclical recovery, we may deploy a portion of our excess cash balance in 20122013 towards debt repayments and repurchases (such as the repurchase of our Senior Notes in January 2013 and our redemption of all issued and outstanding shares of the Series A preferred stock in March 2013), selective acquisitions and capital investments in our portfolio. While our primary focus is on acquiring branded, urban upper-upscaleupper upscale hotels, our acquisition program is aimed at generating attractive risk-adjusted returns on our investment dollars, and therefore we may target lodging assets outside of the typical branded, urban upper upscale profile represented by our existing portfolio in order to capitalize on opportunities which may arise. Additionally, the scope of our acquisitions program may include large hotel portfolios or hotel loans.

Capital Expenditures and Reserve Funds
We believe we maintain each of our hotels in good repair and condition and in general conformity with applicable franchise and management agreements, ground, building and air leases, laws and regulations. Our capital expenditures primarily relate to the ongoing maintenance of our hotels and are budgeted in the reserve accounts described in the following paragraph. We also incur capital expenditures for renovation and development. We invested $76.6$37.1 million in our portfolio during the first ninethree months of 2012. Our renovation budget for 2012 includes $31.8 million2013. As of March 31, 2013, we have contractual construction commitments.commitments totaling $33.2 million. If we acquire, renovate or develop additional hotels in the future, our capital expenditures will increase.
With respect to our hotels that are operated under management or franchise agreements with major national hotel brands and for all of our hotels subject to first mortgage liens, we are obligated to maintain an FF&E reserve account for future planned and emergency-related capital expenditures at these hotels. The amount funded into each of these reserve accounts is determined pursuant to the management, franchise and loan agreements for each of the respective hotels, ranging between zero and 5.0% of the respective hotel’s total annual revenue. As of September 30, 2012, $45.3March 31, 2013, $38.0 million was held in FF&E reserve accounts for future capital expenditures at the 3026 hotels. According to certain loan agreements, reserve funds are to be held by the lenders or managers in restricted cash accounts, and we are not required to investspend the entire amount in such reserve accounts each year.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Our off-balance sheet arrangement consists of our ownership interest in the Preferred Equity Investment. For further discussion of the Preferred Equity Investment and its effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows, see Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements.
Seasonality and Volatility
As is typical of the lodging industry, we experience some seasonality in our business as indicated in the table below. Revenue for certain of our hotels is generally affected by seasonal business patterns (e.g., the first quarter is strong in Orlando, the second quarter is strong for the Mid-Atlantic business hotels, and the fourth quarter is strong for New York City). Quarterly revenue also may be adversely affected by renovations, our managers’ effectiveness in generating business and by events beyond our control, such as extreme weather conditions, terrorist attacks or alerts, public health concerns, airline strikes or reduced airline capacity, economic factors and other considerations affecting travel. Quarterly revenues arerevenue prior to 2013 was also impacted by the 13-fiscal period accounting calendar used by one of our third-party managers, subsidiaries of Marriott International, Inc. or Marriott Hotel Services, Inc. (collectively, “Marriott”).Marriott. Beginning in 2013, Marriott, the third-party manager of 10 of our 26 hotels will switchswitched to a standard 12-month fiscal calendar, which will impact our seasonality.shift the operating results for approximately 20 calendar days from the fourth quarter to the first three quarters.

Inflation
Inflation may affect our expenses, including, without limitation, by increasing such costs as labor, food, taxes, property and casualty insurance and utilities.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.
We evaluate our estimates on an ongoing basis. We base our estimates on historical experience, information that is currently available to us and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe the following critical accounting policies affect the most significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.
· Impairment of long-lived assets and goodwill. We periodically review each property and any related goodwill for possible impairment. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the estimated fair value of the assets. We perform a Level 3 analysis of fair value, using a discounted cash flow analysis to estimate the fair value of our properties taking into account each property’s expected cash flow from operations, holding period and proceeds from the disposition of the property. The factors addressed in determining estimated proceeds from disposition include anticipated operating cash flow in the year of disposition and terminal capitalization rate. Our judgment is required in determining the discount rate applied to estimated cash flows, growth rate of the properties, operating income of the properties, the need for capital expenditures, as well as specific market and economic conditions.
We account for goodwill in accordance with the Intangibles — Goodwill and Other Topic of the FASB ASC, which states that goodwill has an indefinite useful life that should not be amortized but should be reviewed annually for impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that goodwill might be impaired, as well as the Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic of the FASB ASC for financial and nonfinancial assets and liabilities, which establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements by establishing a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The review of any potential goodwill impairment requires estimates of fair value for our properties and other assets that have goodwill arising from unallocated acquisition costs. These estimates of fair value are prepared using Level 3 measurements.
· Acquisition related assets and liabilities. Accounting for the acquisition of a hotel property or other entity as a purchase transaction requires an allocation of the purchase price to the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed in the transaction at their respective estimated fair values. The most difficult estimations of individual fair values are those involving long-lived assets, such as property, equipment, intangible assets and capital lease obligations that are assumed as part of the acquisition of a leasehold interest. During 2011 and the first nine months of 2012, we used all available information to make these fair value determinations, and engaged an independent valuation specialist to assist in the fair value determination of the long-lived assets acquired and the liabilities assumed in our purchases of the Hyatt Chicago Magnificent Mile and the Hilton Garden Inn Chicago Downtown/Magnificent Mile, the outside 62.0% equity interests in the Doubletree Guest Suites Times Square joint venture, the outside 50.0% equity interests in the BuyEfficient joint venture, the JW Marriott New Orleans and the 75.0% majority interest in the entity that owns the Hilton San Diego Bayfront.Mile. Due to the inherent subjectivity in determining the estimated fair value of long-lived assets, we believe that the recording of acquired assets and liabilities is a critical accounting policy.
· Depreciation and amortization expense. Depreciation expense is based on the estimated useful life of our assets. The life of the assets is based on a number of assumptions, including the cost and timing of capital expenditures to maintain and refurbish our hotels, as well as specific market and economic conditions. Hotel properties and other completed real estate investments are depreciated using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives primarily ranging from five to 4035 years for buildings and improvements and three to 12 years for furniture, fixtures and equipment. While we believe our estimates are reasonable, a change in the estimated lives could affect depreciation expense and net income or the gain or loss on the sale of any of our hotels. We have not changed the estimated useful lives of any of our assets during the periods discussed.
New Accounting Standards and Accounting Changes
In May 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-04, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs,” (“ASU No. 2011-04”). ASU No. 2011-04, which became effective during our 2012 first quarter, generally provides a uniform framework for fair value measurements and related disclosures between GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). Additional disclosure requirements in the update include: (1) for Level 3 fair value measurements, quantitative information about unobservable inputs used, a description of the valuation processes used by the entity, and a qualitative discussion about the sensitivity of the measurements to changes in the unobservable inputs; (2) for an entity’s use of a nonfinancial asset that is different from the asset’s highest and best use, the reason for the difference; (3) for financial instruments not measured at fair value but for which disclosure of fair value is required, the fair value hierarchy level in which the fair value measurements were determined; and (4) the disclosure of all transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The adoption of ASU No. 2011-04 in the first quarter of 2012 did not have any effect on our financial statements. Should we report an asset or liability at fair value in the future using Level 3 measurements, however, we will need to increase our disclosures.
In June 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income,”(“ASU No. 2011-05”). ASU No. 2011-05, which became effective during our 2012 first quarter, amends existing guidance by allowing only two options for presenting the components of net income and other comprehensive income: (1) in a single continuous financial statement, statement of comprehensive income or (2) in two separate but consecutive financial statements, consisting of an income statement followed by a separate statement of other comprehensive income. Also, items that are reclassified from other comprehensive income to net income must be presented on the face of the financial statements. In December 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-12, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220), Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05,”(“ASU No. 2011-12”). ASU No. 2011-12, which also became effective during our 2012 first quarter, defers the ASU No. 2011-05 requirement that companies display reclassification adjustments for each component of other comprehensive income in both net income and other comprehensive income on the face of the financial statements. Companies are still required to present reclassifications out of other comprehensive income on the face of the financial statements or disclose those amounts in the notes to the financial statements. ASU No. 2011-12 also defers the requirement to report reclassification adjustments in interim periods. Both ASU No. 2011-05 and ASU No. 2011-12 require retrospective application. In accordance with ASU No. 2011-05, we added comprehensive income to our statements of operations for all periods presented. The adoption of ASU No. 2011-12 did not have a material impact on our financial statements.
In September 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-08, “Intangibles — Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Goodwill for Impairment,”(“ASU No. 2011-08”). ASU No. 2011-08, which became effective during our 2012 first quarter, simplifies how entities test goodwill for impairment. ASU 2011-08 allows entities to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If a greater than 50 percent likelihood exists that the fair value is less than the carrying amount then a two-step goodwill impairment test as described in Topic 350 must be performed. The adoption of ASU No. 2011-08 did not have a material impact on our financial statements. Should we perform a qualitative assessment on our goodwill in the future, however, additional disclosures will be required.
In December 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-10, “Property, Plant and Equipment: Derecognition of in Substance Real Estate — a Scope Clarification” (“ASU No. 2011-10”). Under the amendments in ASU No. 2011-10, when a parent (reporting entity) ceases to have a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary that is in substance real estate as a result of default on the subsidiary’s nonrecourse debt, the reporting entity should apply the guidance in Subtopic 360-20 to determine whether it should derecognize the in substance real estate. Generally, a reporting entity would not satisfy the requirements to derecognize the in substance real estate before the legal transfer of the real estate to the lender and the extinguishment of the related nonrecourse indebtedness. That is, even if the reporting entity ceases to have a controlling financial interest under Subtopic 810-10, the reporting entity would continue to include the real estate, debt, and the results of the subsidiary’s operations in its consolidated financial statements until legal title to the real estate is transferred to legally satisfy the debt. ASU No. 2011-10 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after June 15, 2012. We do not believe theThe adoption of ASU No. 2011-10 willin the first quarter of 2013 did not have anany effect on our financial statements.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
To the extent that we incur debt with variable interest rates, our future income, cash flows and fair values relevant to financial instruments are dependent upon prevalent market interest rates. Market risk refers to the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and interest rates. We have no derivative financial instruments held for trading purposes. We use derivative financial instruments to manage, or hedge, interest rate risks.
Our interest payments on 70.2%As of March 31, 2013, 68.2% of our debt obligations are fixed in nature, which largely mitigates the effect of changes in interest rates on our cash interest payments. If market rates of interest on our variable rate debt increase or decrease by 100 basis points, interest expense would increase or decrease, respectively, our future earnings and cash flows by approximately $4.3$4.4 million based on the variable rates at September 30, 2012.March 31, 2013. This increase or decrease in interest expense would increase or decrease, respectively, our future earnings after adjusting for the non-controlling interest in the Hilton San Diego Bayfront by approximately $3.8 million based on the variable rates at March 31, 2013. However, increases and decreases in LIBOR rates are sometimes correlated with increases and decreases in lodging operations, which may mean that any increases in our interest expense due to higher variable rates may coincide with increases in our revenuerevenues due to higher lodging demand.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Based upon an evaluation of the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures, our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) have concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission and is accumulated and communicated to management, including the CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

During our fiscal quarter to which this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q relates, there has not occurred any change in our internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
