BETHESDA, Md., Oct 08, 2009 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX News Network/ -- Marriott International, Inc. ("Marriott") (NYSE: MAR) today reported third quarter 2009 adjusted income from continuing operations attributable to Marriott of $53 million, a 57 percent decline over the year-ago quarter, and adjusted diluted earnings per share ("EPS") from continuing operations attributable to Marriott shareholders of $0.15, down 55 percent. The company's EPS guidance for the 2009 third quarter, disclosed on July 16, 2009, totaled $0.09 to $0.14.

The reported loss from continuing operations attributable to Marriott was $466 million in the third quarter of 2009 compared to reported income from continuing operations attributable to Marriott of $94 million in the year-ago quarter. Reported diluted losses per share from continuing operations attributable to Marriott shareholders was $1.31 in the third quarter of 2009 compared to diluted EPS from continuing operations attributable to Marriott shareholders of $0.25 in the third quarter of 2008.
Adjusted results for the 2009 third quarter exclude $752 million pretax ($502 million after-tax and $1.41 per diluted share) of impairment charges, which Marriott previously disclosed, related to the timeshare segment. See the table on page A-14 of the accompanying schedules for the detail of these impairment charges and their placement on the Consolidated Statements of Income.
Adjusted results for the 2009 third quarter also exclude $8 million pretax ($4 million after-tax and $0.01 per diluted share) of restructuring costs and other charges. Restructuring costs totaled $9 million pretax and primarily included severance costs and timeshare facilities exit costs. Other charges totaled $1 million of pretax earnings and primarily reflect the $3 million favorable impact of the revaluation of residual interests from prior timeshare note sales due to three default triggers curing in the quarter, partially offset by $2 million of reserves for guarantees and contract cancellations. Of the total restructuring costs and other charges in the third quarter, cash payments are expected to be $5 million. See the table on page A-13 of the accompanying schedules for the detail of these restructuring costs and other charges and their placement on the Consolidated Statements of Income.
Finally, adjusted results for the 2009 third quarter also exclude a $13 million after-tax non-cash charge ($0.03 per diluted share) in the provision for income taxes primarily related to the treatment of funds received from certain foreign subsidiaries that is in ongoing discussions with the Internal Revenue Service. Adjusted results for the 2008 third quarter exclude a $29 million after-tax non-cash charge ($0.08 per diluted share) in the provision for income taxes primarily related to a 1994 tax planning transaction.
J.W. Marriott, Jr., chairman and chief executive officer of Marriott International, said, "Revenue per available room across our North American system declined less than expected during the third quarter as leisure travelers responded to attractive promotions and great values in our hotels. With solid cost controls, our hotels translated better than expected occupancy rates to stronger than expected fee revenue and earnings.
"The hotel industry has been challenged by the economic environment. We've worked hard to rein in costs and right-size our businesses and those efforts are paying off. Our hotels are in great shape; owners and customers prefer our brands; and we enjoy very strong market share premiums. As we look ahead, while the recovery may be slow and perhaps uneven, our continued focus on driving revenue, controlling costs and strengthening our balance sheet will position us to benefit from an improving economy."
In the 2009 third quarter (12-week period from June 20, 2009 to September 11, 2009), REVPAR for the company's worldwide comparable company-operated properties declined 23.5 percent (21.1 percent using constant dollars) and REVPAR for the company's worldwide comparable systemwide properties declined 21.4 percent (19.9 percent using constant dollars).
Markets outside North America were impacted by the difficult economic climate, the Olympics, the timing of holidays and concerns about the H1N1 virus. International comparable company-operated REVPAR declined 28.9 percent (22.3 percent using constant dollars), including a 22.7 percent decline in average daily rate (15.5 percent using constant dollars) in the third quarter of 2009.
In North America comparable company-operated REVPAR declined 20.6 percent and comparable systemwide REVPAR declined 19.3 percent. REVPAR at the company's comparable company-operated North American full-service and luxury hotels (including Marriott Hotels & Resorts, The Ritz-Carlton and Renaissance Hotels & Resorts) was down 20.2 percent driven by a 14.6 percent decline in average daily rate.
Marriott added 79 new properties (10,380 rooms) to its worldwide lodging portfolio in the 2009 third quarter, including over 8,600 North American limited-service rooms. Three properties (503 rooms) exited the system during the quarter. At quarter-end, the company's lodging group encompassed 3,362 properties and timeshare resorts for a total of over 586,000 rooms. As of the end of the third quarter, the company's worldwide pipeline of hotels under construction, awaiting conversion or approved for development totaled approximately 105,000 rooms. The company expects to open over 33,000 rooms in 2009.
Reported results for the 2009 third quarter, the adjusted results and the associated reconciliations are shown on pages A-1, A-11, A-13, A-14 and A-17 of the accompanying schedules. The following paragraphs reflect adjusted results where indicated.
MARRIOTT REVENUES totaled approximately $2.5 billion in the 2009 third quarter compared to $3.0 billion for the third quarter of 2008. Base management and franchise fees declined 14 percent to $216million reflecting worldwide declines in REVPAR in all brands offset in part by fees from new hotels. With continued soft lodging demand trends worldwide, third quarter incentive management fees declined 67 percent. The percentage of company-operated hotels earning incentive management fees declined to 20 percent in the 2009 third quarter compared to 55 percent in the year-ago quarter. Year-to-date 25 percent of company-operated hotels earned incentive management fees compared to 62 percent in the prior year. Nearly all incentive management fees came from hotels outside of North America in the 2009 quarter compared to 68 percent in the 2008 quarter.
Worldwide comparable company-operated house profit margins declined 490 basis points in the third quarter reflecting weak REVPAR offset by continued efficiency improvements at the property level. House profit margins for comparable company-operated properties outside North America declined 430 basis points. North American comparable company-operated house profit margins declined 520 basis points from the year-ago quarter.
Owned, leased, corporate housing and other revenue, net of direct expenses, declined $8 million in the 2009 third quarter, to $12 million, primarily reflecting weaker operating results at owned and leased properties and lower corporate housing profits partially offset by a $6 million transaction cancellation fee.
Third quarter adjusted Timeshare segment contract sales declined 42 percent to $176 million excluding a $24 million allowance for fractional and residential contract cancellations recorded in the quarter. Contract sales of core one-week timeshare intervals totaled $164 million as marketing incentives encouraged demand.
In the third quarter of 2009, adjusted Timeshare sales and services revenue declined 35 percent to $251 million and, net of expenses, declined to $13 million from $47 million in the 2008 third quarter. Adjusted results reflected lower development profit due to continued soft demand for timeshare, fractional, and residential products, and unfavorable reportability. Services profit was also lower largely due to higher maintenance costs associated with unsold inventory and lower rental rates.
Adjusted Timeshare segment results, which includes Timeshare sales and services revenue, net of direct expenses, as well as base management fees, equity earnings, noncontrolling interest and general, administrative and other expenses associated with the timeshare business, totaled $9 million in the 2009 third quarter compared to $49 million in the prior year quarter. The 2008 third quarter segment results reflected a net $10 million pretax impairment charge for a fractional and residential consolidated joint venture project. The $10 million charge in 2008 included a $22 million negative adjustment in timeshare direct expenses partially offset by a $12 million pretax ($8 million after-tax) benefit associated with the joint venture partner's share, which is reflected in net losses attributable to noncontrolling interest, net of tax.
ADJUSTED GENERAL, ADMINISTRATIVE AND OTHER expenses for the 2009 third quarter totaled $143 million, a 14 percent decline from the year-ago quarter largely reflecting cost reductions throughout the organization. The quarter also included a $15 million unfavorable impact associated with deferred compensation compared to the 2008 quarter (offset by a similar decrease in the provision for taxes) and $5 million of certain litigation expenses. Excluding these items, general, administrative and other expenses for the third quarter of 2009 declined 25 percent compared to the third quarter of 2008.
(LOSSES) GAINS AND OTHER INCOME totaled a loss of $1 million and included a $5 million impairment charge on an investment partially offset by $3 million of gains on the sale of real estate and a $1 million gain on the extinguishment of debt. The prior year's third quarter gains totaled $7 million and included $2 million of gains on the sale of real estate, a $2 million gain from the sale of the company's interest in a joint venture and $3 million of returns from joint venture investments.
INTEREST EXPENSE decreased $6 million in the third quarter primarily due to lower interest rates on short-term borrowings and lower debt balances partially offset by lower capitalized interest associated with construction projects.
ADJUSTED EQUITY IN (LOSSES) EARNINGS totaled an $11 million loss in the quarter compared to $2 million in earnings in the year-ago quarter. Losses in the 2009 quarter primarily reflected losses in four joint ventures and the impairment of one investment.
NET LOSSES ATTRIBUTABLE TO NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS, NET OF TAX totaled $3 million in the quarter compared to $10 million in the year-ago quarter.
BALANCE SHEET
At the end of third quarter 2009, total debt was $2,660 million and cash balances totaled $130 million, compared to $3,095 million of debt and $134 million of cash at year-end 2008.
COMMON STOCK
Adjusted weighted average fully diluted shares outstanding totaled 366.3 million in the 2009 third quarter compared to 368.0 million in the year-ago quarter. The remaining share repurchase authorization, as of September 11, 2009, totaled 21.3 million shares. No share repurchases are planned in 2009.
On August 6, 2009, the Board of Directors declared the issuance of a stock dividend payable on September 3, 2009, to shareholders of record on August 20, 2009. For periods prior to the stock dividend, all share and per share data in our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the stock dividend.
FOURTH QUARTER 2009 OUTLOOK
While Marriott typically provides a range of guidance for future performance, the current global economic and financial climate continues to make predictions very difficult. Therefore, the company is unable to give its typical guidance. Instead, the company is providing the following assumptions which it is using for internal planning purposes. For the fourth quarter, the company assumes North American comparable systemwide hotel REVPAR declines of 13 to 16 percent. For comparable systemwide hotels outside North America, the company assumes REVPAR declines of 16 to 18 percent on a constant dollar basis. Total fee revenue could be $310 million to $320 million. Owned, leased, corporate housing and other revenue, net of direct expenses, could total $15 to $20 million.
In the fourth quarter, the company assumes Timeshare sales and services revenue, net of direct expenses, will total approximately $15 million, including a note sale gain of approximately $10 million to $15 million. Fourth quarter Timeshare contract sales could total $185 million to $195 million.
The company anticipates that general, administrative and other expenses will total about $185 million to $190 million in the fourth quarter of 2009, a roughly 20 percent decline from the adjusted 2008 fourth quarter amount.
Based upon the above assumptions and a 38 percent tax rate, adjusted diluted EPS from continuing operations attributable to Marriott shareholders for the 2009 fourth quarter could total $0.20 to $0.23.
The company expects investment spending in 2009 will decline by more than 50 percent from 2008 levels to approximately $325 million to $375 million. This investment spending estimate includes $145 million to $155 million for capital expenditures and maintenance capital spending, $20 million to $30 million for net timeshare development, $90 million to $100 million in new mezzanine financing and mortgage loans, $35 million to $45 million for contract acquisition costs and $35 million to $45 million in equity and other investments (including timeshare equity investments).
2010 OUTLOOK
As in 2009, the company is unable to provide its typical guidance for 2010. Instead, Marriott is providing the following assumptions, which it is using for internal planning purposes. For the full year 2010, the company expects the business climate, particularly the pricing environment, to remain difficult. For worldwide comparable systemwide hotels, the company assumes full year 2010 REVPAR will be flat to down 5 percent (on a constant dollar basis) with performance strengthening over the year. The company expects REVPAR in international markets to show greater relative year over year strength than North American markets.
The company expects to open 25,000 to 30,000 rooms in 2010 as most hotels expected to open are already under construction or undergoing conversion from other brands. Given these assumptions, full year 2010 fee revenue could total $1,050 million to $1,110 million. The company estimates that, on a full-year basis, one point of worldwide systemwide REVPAR impacts total fees by approximately $10 million to $15 million pretax.
For its timeshare business, the company assumes 2010 timeshare contract sales could be in line with 2009 levels.
The company expects to adopt FAS 166 and 167 at the beginning of 2010, which will impact its accounting for securitized timeshare loans. Assuming the consolidation of the existing portfolio of securitized loans, the company expects assets to increase by $950 million to $1,025 million, liabilities to increase by $1,020 million to $1,120 million, and shareholders' equity to decline by $70 million to $95 million. Pretax earnings in 2010 would increase by $30 million to $50 million as a result of the accounting change, but no change in cash flow is anticipated.
The company expects its 2010 general and administrative costs to be modestly higher than in 2009. As part of its ongoing budget process, the company continues to evaluate its timeshare earnings outlook and investment spending estimates for 2010. Based on its preliminary outlook for 2010, excluding the impact of FAS 166 and 167, the company anticipates continued meaningful reductions in debt levels in 2010.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In our press release and schedules, and on the related conference call, we report certain financial measures that are not prescribed or authorized by United States generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). We discuss management's reasons for reporting these non-GAAP measures below, and the press release schedules reconcile the most directly comparable GAAP measure to each non-GAAP measure that we refer to (identified by a double asterisk on the preceding pages). Although management evaluates and presents these non-GAAP measures for the reasons described below, please be aware that these non-GAAP measures are not alternatives to revenue, operating income, income from continuing operations, net income, earnings per share or any other comparable operating measure prescribed by GAAP. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures may be calculated and/or presented differently than measures with the same or similar names that are reported by other companies, and as a result, the non-GAAP measures we report may not be comparable to those reported by others.
Measures That Exclude Timeshare Strategy - Impairment Charges, Restructuring Costs and Other Charges, Deferred Compensation Charges (Credits), Litigation Expenses, and Certain Tax Expenses. Management evaluates non-GAAP measures that exclude the impact of Timeshare strategy - impairment charges incurred in the 2009 third quarter, restructuring costs and other charges and certain tax expenses incurred in the 2009 first quarter, 2009 and 2008 second and third quarters, as well as estimated restructuring costs and other charges expected to be incurred in the fourth quarter of 2009 and estimated full year 2009 restructuring costs and other charges, deferred compensation charges (credits) incurred in the 2009 and 2008 third quarters of $8 million and ($7) million, respectively, associated with our deferred compensation plan, and litigation expenses of $5 million because those non-GAAP measures allow for period-over-period comparisons of our on-going core operations before material charges. These non-GAAP measures also facilitate management's comparison of results from our on-going operations before material charges with results from other lodging companies.
In response to the difficult business conditions that the Timeshare segment's timeshare, luxury residential, and luxury fractional real estate development businesses continue to experience, we evaluated the entire Timeshare portfolio in the 2009 third quarter. In order to adjust the business strategy to reflect current market conditions, on September 22, 2009, we approved plans for our Timeshare segment to take the following actions: (1) for our luxury residential projects, reduce prices, convert certain proposed projects to other uses, sell some undeveloped land, and not pursue further Marriott-funded residential development projects; (2) reduce prices for existing luxury fractional units; (3) continue short-term promotions for our U.S. timeshare business and defer the introduction of new projects and development phases; and (4) for our European timeshare and fractional resorts, continue promotional pricing and marketing incentives and not pursue further development. As a result of these decisions, we recorded third quarter 2009 pretax charges totaling $752 million in our Consolidated Statements of Income ($502 million after-tax), including $614 million of pretax charges impacting operating income under the "Timeshare strategy-impairment charges" caption, and $138 million of pretax charges impacting non-operating income under the "Timeshare strategy-impairment charges (non-operating)" caption.
During the latter part of 2008 and particularly the fourth quarter, we experienced a significant decline in demand for hotel rooms both domestically and internationally due, in part, to the failures and near failures of several large financial service companies and the dramatic downturn in the economy. Our capital intensive Timeshare business was also hurt by the downturn in market conditions and particularly, the significant deterioration in the credit markets, which resulted in our decision not to complete a note sale in the fourth quarter of 2008 (although we did complete a note sale in the first quarter of 2009). These declines resulted in reduced management and franchise fees, cancellation of development projects, reduced timeshare contract sales, contract cancellation allowances, and charges and reserves associated with expected fundings, loans, Timeshare inventory, accounts receivable, contract cancellation allowances, valuation of Timeshare residual interests, hedge ineffectiveness, and asset impairments. We responded by implementing various cost saving measures, beginning in the fourth quarter of 2008 and which continued in the first quarter through third quarters of 2009, and resulted in first quarter 2009 restructuring costs of $2 million, second quarter 2009 restructuring costs of $33 million, and third quarter 2009 restructuring costs of $9 million that were directly related to the downturn. We also incurred other first quarter 2009 and second quarter 2009 charges totaling $127 million and $24 million, respectively, as well as $1 million in net other credits in the 2009 third quarter, that were directly related to the downturn, including asset impairment charges, accounts receivable and guarantee charges, reserves associated with loans, reversal of the liability related to expected fundings, Timeshare contract cancellation allowances, and charges related to the valuation of Timeshare residual interests. Currently, we expect to incur $5 million to $6 million in restructuring costs and other charges in the 2009 fourth quarter. For full year 2009, we expect restructuring costs and other charges to total $199 million to $200 million as a result of our restructuring efforts and the economic downturn, which includes $194 million of restructuring costs and other charges already incurred in the first three quarters of 2009. These estimates are subject to change.
Certain tax expenses included $26 million in the 2009 first quarter, $17 million in the 2009 second quarter, $13 million in the 2009 third quarter and $24 million in the 2008 second quarter of non-cash charges primarily related to the treatment of funds received from certain foreign subsidiaries, an issue we are contesting with the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS"). Additionally, certain tax expenses in the 2008 second quarter also reflected $12 million of tax expense due primarily to prior years' tax adjustments, including a settlement with the IRS that resulted in a lower than expected refund of taxes associated with a 1995 leasing transaction. Certain tax items in the 2008 third quarter reflected $29 million of tax expense primarily related to an unfavorable court decision involving a tax planning transaction associated with a 1994 sale transaction.
Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") reflects earnings excluding the impact of interest expense, tax expense, depreciation and amortization. Management considers EBITDA to be an indicator of operating performance because it can be used to measure our ability to service debt, fund capital expenditures, and expand our business. EBITDA is used by analysts, lenders, investors and others, as well as by us, to evaluate companies because it excludes certain items that can vary widely across different industries or among companies within the same industry. For example, interest expense can be dependent on a company's capital structure, debt levels and credit ratings. Accordingly, the impact of interest expense on earnings can vary significantly among companies. The tax positions of companies can also vary because of their differing abilities to take advantage of tax benefits and because of the tax policies of the jurisdictions in which they operate. As a result, effective tax rates and tax expense can vary considerably among companies. EBITDA also excludes depreciation and amortization because companies utilize productive assets of different ages and use different methods of both acquiring and depreciating productive assets. These differences can result in considerable variability in the relative costs of productive assets and the depreciation and amortization expense among companies.
Adjusted EBITDA. Management also evaluates adjusted EBITDA which excludes: (1) Timeshare strategy - impairment charges of $752 million incurred in the 2009 third quarter (2) the 2009 third quarter restructuring costs and other charges totaling $8 million; (3) the 2009 second quarter restructuring costs and other charges totaling $57 million; (4) the 2009 first quarter restructuring costs and other charges totaling $129 million; (5) the 2008 fourth quarter restructuring costs and other charges totaling $192 million; and (6) the first through third quarters of 2008 impact of the synthetic fuel business. Management excludes the restructuring costs and other charges incurred in the 2009 first through third quarters and in the 2008 fourth quarter and the timeshare strategy-impairment charges recorded in the 2009 third quarter for the reasons noted above under "Measures That Exclude Timeshare - Strategy Impairment Charges, Restructuring Costs and Other Charges, Deferred Compensation Charges (Credits), Litigation Expenses, and Certain Tax Expenses." Fourth quarter 2008 restructuring costs and other charges included $55 million of restructuring costs and $137 million of other charges, including charges and reserves associated with expected fundings, loans, Timeshare inventory, accounts receivable, contract cancellation allowances, valuation of Timeshare residual interests, hedge ineffectiveness, and asset impairments. Management also excludes the first through third quarters of 2008 impact of the synthetic fuel business, which was discontinued in 2007 and which did not relate to our core lodging business, to allow for period-over-period comparisons of our on-going core lodging operations and facilitate management's comparison of our results with those of other lodging companies.
Total Debt, Net of Cash (or, "Net Debt"). Total debt net of cash reflects total debt less cash and cash equivalents. Management considers total debt net of cash to be a more accurate indicator of the net debt that must be repaid or refinanced at maturity (as it gives consideration to cash resources available to retire a portion of the debt when due). Additionally, management believes that this financial measure provides a clearer picture of the future demands on cash to repay debt. Management uses this financial measure in making decisions regarding its borrowing capacity and future refinancing needs.
