SECOND QUARTER HIGHLIGHTS

 

   

Diluted earnings per share (EPS) totaled $0.42, a 24 percent increase over prior year adjusted results;

 

   

On a constant dollar basis, worldwide comparable systemwide REVPAR rose 6.7 percent. Average daily rate rose 4.1 percent using constant dollars;

 

   

At the end of the second quarter, the company’s worldwide pipeline of hotels under construction, awaiting conversion or approved for development totaled approximately 115,000 rooms, not including the nearly 8,000 rooms from the planned acquisition of the Gaylord brand and hotel management business;

 

   

Over 5,000 rooms opened during the quarter, including over 1,300 rooms converted from competitor brands and nearly 2,700 rooms in international markets;

 

   

Marriott repurchased 10.5 million shares of the company’s common stock for $400 million during the quarter. Year-to-date through the second quarter, the company repurchased 14.7 million shares for $550 million;

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) totaled $289 million in the quarter, a 13 percent increase over second quarter 2011 adjusted EBITDA.

BETHESDA, MD – July 11, 2012 - Marriott International, Inc. (NYSE: MAR) today reported second quarter 2012 results.

SECOND QUARTER 2012 RESULTS

Second quarter 2012 net income totaled $143 million, a 13 percent increase compared to second quarter 2011 adjusted net income. Diluted EPS totaled $0.42, a 24 percent increase from adjusted diluted EPS in the year-ago quarter. On April 18, 2012, the company forecasted second quarter diluted EPS of $0.39 to $0.43.

For the second quarter of 2011, reported net income totaled $135 million and reported diluted EPS was $0.37. Adjusted net income and adjusted diluted EPS for the year-ago quarter excluded $14 million pretax ($9 million after-tax and $0.02 per diluted share) of timeshare spin-off adjustments. Timeshare spin-off adjustments included items such as the removal of timeshare business operating results and spin-off transaction costs, as well as the addition of license fees and other related items as if the spin-off had occurred on the first day of fiscal 2011. See page A-1 for second quarter 2011 reported results, the timeshare spin-off adjustments and adjusted results.

Arne M. Sorenson, president and chief executive officer of Marriott International, said, “In the second quarter, our business performed well in most markets around the world. In North America, strengthening group business, more travel by our special corporate customers, especially in the technology and consulting industries, and the impact of modest supply growth, drove our occupancy and room rates higher. In Europe, more travelers from the United States, Russia and China helped move REVPAR higher. In the Asia Pacific region, solid REVPAR growth resulted from strong economic growth and maturing new hotels.

“Property-level revenues from group customers at comparable Marriott brand hotels increased 8 percent in the second quarter with banquet revenue up 7 percent. Special corporate revenue also increased 8 percent during the quarter. While second quarter REVPAR growth benefited from strong group and special corporate business, it also reflected some impact from weak results in Washington, D.C. and renovations at a few hotels. In other markets, such as Hawaii, our hotel occupancy was both very high and well ahead of the market, constraining our REVPAR growth in the quarter.

“With robust group bookings in North America, including Washington, D.C., we expect strong REVPAR and room rate growth in the second half of the year. In fact, group revenue on the books is up 10 percent for the second half of 2012 and up 8 percent for 2013. We are targeting high single-digit percentage increases in special corporate rates for 2013.

“Our development pipeline totaled 115,000 rooms at the end of the second quarter, excluding the pending Gaylord acquisition. While we added 8,000 rooms to our pipeline in the second quarter, new hotel construction delays in the Middle East, Asia and Mexico pushed some openings to 2013. We now expect to open 20,000 to 25,000 rooms worldwide in 2012, not including Gaylord branded rooms, and 90,000 to 105,000 rooms during the three-year period from 2012 to 2014.

“We continue to generate meaningful amounts of cash. We completed the sale of our interest in the Courtyard joint venture early in the third quarter. Including the approximately $90 million of proceeds from this transaction as well as the planned $210 million Gaylord investment, we still expect to return $1 billion to shareholders in 2012 through dividends and share repurchases.”

For the 2012 second quarter, REVPAR for worldwide comparable systemwide properties increased 6.7 percent (a 6.2 percent increase using actual dollars).

International comparable systemwide REVPAR rose 7.2 percent (a 4.9 percent increase using actual dollars), including a 3.0 percent increase in average daily rate (a 0.8 percent increase using actual dollars) in the second quarter of 2012.

In North America, comparable systemwide REVPAR increased 6.5 percent in the second quarter of 2012, including a 4.3 percent increase in average daily rate. REVPAR for comparable systemwide North American full-service and luxury hotels (including Marriott Hotels & Resorts, The Ritz-Carlton, Renaissance Hotels and Autograph Collection Hotels) increased 6.4 percent with a 3.9 percent increase in average daily rate. REVPAR for comparable systemwide North American limited-service hotels (including Courtyard, Residence Inn, SpringHill Suites, TownePlace Suites and Fairfield Inn & Suites) increased 6.7 percent in the second quarter with a 4.5 percent increase in average daily rate.

Marriott added 29 new properties (5,058 rooms) to its worldwide lodging portfolio in the 2012 second quarter, including the JW Marriott Hotel Absheron Baku in Azerbaijan, the Bulgari Hotel & Residences in London and the Turnberry Isle Miami, an Autograph Collection hotel. Thirteen properties (2,914 rooms) exited the system during the quarter. At quarter-end, the company’s lodging group encompassed 3,748 properties and timeshare resorts for a total of over 646,000 rooms.

The company’s worldwide pipeline of hotels under construction, awaiting conversion or approved for development totaled over 700 properties with approximately 115,000 rooms at quarter-end.

MARRIOTT REVENUES totaled nearly $2.8 billion in the 2012 second quarter compared to adjusted revenues of $2.6 billion for the second quarter of 2011. Base management and franchise fees rose 6 percent over prior year adjusted levels to $286 million reflecting higher REVPAR at existing hotels and fees from new hotels. Second quarter worldwide incentive management fees increased 12 percent to $56 million. North American incentive management fees increased 15 percent in the quarter. In the second quarter, 30 percent of worldwide company-managed hotels earned incentive management fees compared to 25 percent in the year-ago quarter.

House profit margins increased 110 basis points in the second quarter for comparable company-operated properties in North America, outside North America and worldwide.

Owned, leased, corporate housing and other revenue, net of direct expenses, increased $32 million in the 2012 second quarter, to $61 million, largely due to strong results at leased hotels, particularly in Tokyo and London, $12 million of higher termination fees, $9 million of higher credit card and residential branding fees and a $2 million business interruption payment from a utility company related to the 2011 tsunami in Japan.

GENERAL, ADMINISTRATIVE and OTHER expenses for the 2012 second quarter totaled $160 million, compared to adjusted expenses of $140 million in the year-ago quarter. The increase in expenses largely reflected $7 million of accelerated amortization of deferred contract acquisition costs related to one property that terminated in the quarter and a $5 million increase in reserves primarily associated with guarantees. The remaining increase reflected routine compensation and other cost increases.

 

4


INTEREST EXPENSE totaled $34 million in the second quarter compared to adjusted interest expense of $29 million in the year-ago quarter. The increase in interest expense was primarily due to higher debt balances including the $600 million of Series K bonds with a 3 percent interest rate coupon the company issued in the first quarter of 2012.

EQUITY IN EARNINGS (LOSSES) totaled an $8 million loss in the quarter. The loss was largely due to an impairment charge of $8 million related to certain underlying residential properties in one joint venture.

EBITDA totaled $289 million in the 2012 second quarter, a 13 percent increase over 2011 second quarter adjusted EBITDA of $256 million. See page A-9 for the EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA calculations.

BALANCE SHEET

At the end of the second quarter 2012, total debt was $2,560 million and cash balances totaled $105 million, compared to $2,171 million in debt and $102 million of cash at year-end 2011.

COMMON STOCK

Weighted average fully diluted shares outstanding used to calculate diluted EPS totaled 338.0 million in the 2012 second quarter compared to 369.4 million in the year-ago quarter.

The company repurchased 10.5 million shares of common stock in the second quarter at a cost of $400 million. Year-to-date through the second quarter, Marriott repurchased 14.7 million shares of its stock for $550 million. The remaining share repurchase authorization, as of June 15, 2012, totaled 25.8 million shares.

THIRD QUARTER 2012 OUTLOOK

For the third quarter, the company expects comparable systemwide REVPAR on a constant dollar basis will increase 6 to 8 percent in North America, 5 to 7 percent outside North America and 6 to 8 percent worldwide.

 

5


2012 OUTLOOK

The company expects full year 2012 comparable systemwide REVPAR will increase 6 to 8 percent in North America. Outside North America the company anticipates 5 to 7 percent comparable systemwide constant dollar REVPAR growth as markets in the Middle East and Asia experience softer demand growth, particularly in the Luxury segment. The company expects worldwide comparable systemwide constant dollar REVPAR will increase 6 to 8 percent.

The company expects to add 20,000 to 25,000 rooms in 2012, not including the pending Gaylord transaction. Some new unit openings in Mexico, Asia and the Middle East have been delayed to 2013. The company also expects approximately 9,000 rooms will leave the system during the year.

The company expects full year fee revenue could total $1,410 million to $1,440 million, growth of 8 to 10 percent over 2011 adjusted total fee revenue of $1,307 million. Compared to prior expectations, anticipated fee revenue is modestly lower due to the impact of foreign exchange rates, the sale of the corporate housing business, some delayed hotel openings and softer REVPAR growth in some markets.

For 2012, the company expects general, administrative and other expenses to total $660 million to $670 million, an increase of 3 to 4 percent over 2011 adjusted expenses of $643 million.

The company expects full year gains and other income could total $50 million, which includes an approximately $40 million gain related to the sale of the Courtyard joint venture, which was completed in the third quarter.

Given these assumptions, 2012 diluted EPS could total $1.65 to $1.75. Full year 2012 guidance does not include the impact of the pending Gaylord transaction.

Net of interest income

The company expects investment spending in 2012 will total approximately $850 million to $950 million, including approximately $100 million for maintenance capital spending. Investment spending also includes other capital expenditures (including property acquisitions), new mezzanine financing and mortgage notes, contract acquisition costs (including the $210 million payment associated with the pending Gaylord transaction), and equity and other investments. Assuming this level of investment spending, roughly $1 billion could be returned to shareholders through share repurchases and dividends.

Based upon the assumptions above, the company expects full year 2012 EBITDA will total $1,115 million to $1,165 million, a 12 to 17 percent increase over the prior year’s adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA for full year 2011 totaled $992 million and is shown on page A-10.

Total Lodging Products as of June 17, 2011 does not include 2,068 ExecuStay corporate housing rental units. We had no ExecuStay corporate housing rental units as of June 15, 2012 because we completed the sale of our corporate housing business during the second quarter of 2012.

Reported 2012 Timeshare properties and rooms/suites are not comparable to 2011 data due to a change in reporting methodology as a result of the Timeshare spin-off.

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 have limitations and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for revenue, operating income, income from continuing operations, net income, earnings per share or any other comparable operating measure prescribed by GAAP. In addition, we may calculate and/or present these non-GAAP financial measures differently than measures with the same or similar names that other companies report, and as a result, the non-GAAP measures we report may not be comparable to those reported by others.

Adjusted Measures that Reflect the Timeshare Spin-off as if it had Occurred on the First Day of 2011. (“Timeshare Spin-off Adjustments”). On November 21, 2011 we completed a spin-off of our timeshare operations and timeshare development business through a special tax-free dividend to our shareholders of all of the issued and outstanding common stock of our wholly owned subsidiary Marriott Vacations Worldwide Corporation (“MVW”).

Because of our significant continuing involvement in MVW future operations (by virtue of our license and other agreements with MVW), we continue to include our former Timeshare segment’s historical financial results for periods before the spin-off date in our historical financial results as a component of continuing operations. Under the license agreements we receive license fees consisting of a fixed annual fee of $50 million (subject to a periodic inflation adjustment), plus two percent of the gross sales price paid to MVW for initial developer sales of interests in vacation ownership units and residential real estate units and one percent of the gross sales price paid to MVW for resales of interests in vacation ownership units and residential real estate units, in each case that are identified with or use the Marriott or Ritz-Carlton marks.

In order to perform year-over-year comparisons on a comparable basis, management evaluates non-GAAP measures that, for certain periods prior to the spin-off date, assume the spin-off had occurred on the first day of 2011. The Timeshare Spin-off Adjustments remove the results of our former Timeshare segment, assume payment by MVW of estimated license fees ($14 million, $15 million, $15 million, and $16 million for the 2011 first quarter through 2011 fourth quarter, respectively) and remove the unallocated spin-off transaction costs ($1 million, $3 million, $8 million, and $22 million for the 2011 first quarter through 2011 fourth quarter, respectively). We have also included certain corporate items not previously allocated to our former Timeshare segment in the Timeshare Spin-off Adjustments. Timeshare Spin-off Adjustments totaled ($21) million pre-tax (($13) million after-tax), ($14) million pre-tax (($9) million after-tax), $321 million pre-tax ($264 million after-tax), and $14 million pre-tax ($18 million after-tax) for the 2011 first, second, third, and fourth quarters, respectively.

We provide adjusted measures that reflect Timeshare Spin-off Adjustments for illustrative and informational purposes only. These adjusted measures are not necessarily indicative of, and we do not purport that they represent, what our operating results would have been had the spin-off actually occurred on the first day of 2011. This information also does not reflect certain financial and operating benefits we expect to realize as a result of the spin-off.

Adjusted Measures That Exclude Other Charges. Management evaluates non-GAAP measures that exclude certain 2011 charges because those non-GAAP measures allow for period-over-period comparisons of our on-going core operations before the impact of 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.

2011 Other Charges. We recorded charges of $28 million pre-tax ($17 million after-tax) in the 2011 third quarter, which included an $18 million other-than-temporary impairment of an investment in marketable securities (not allocated to any of our segments) recorded in the “(Losses) gains and other income” caption of our Income Statement and a $10 million charge related to the impairment of deferred contract acquisition costs and an accounts receivable reserve, both of which were associated with a Luxury segment property whose owner filed for bankruptcy and recorded in the “General, administrative, and other” caption of our Income Statement.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES (cont.)

 

Earnings Before Interest Expense, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”) is a financial measure that is not prescribed or authorized by United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), reflects earnings excluding the impact of interest expense, provision for income taxes, and depreciation and amortization. We consider EBITDA to be an indicator of operating performance because we use it to measure our ability to service debt, fund capital expenditures, and expand our business. We also use EBITDA, as do analysts, lenders, investors and others, 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 provision for income taxes can vary considerably among companies. EBITDA further 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.

We also evaluate Adjusted EBITDA, another non-GAAP financial measure, as an indicator of operating performance. Our Adjusted EBITDA reflects the following items, each of which we describe more fully above: (1) Timeshare Spin-off Adjustments; and (2) an adjustment for $28 million of other charges for 2011. We use Adjusted EBITDA to make period-over-period comparisons of our ongoing core operations before material charges and to facilitate our comparison of results from our ongoing operations before material charges with results from other lodging companies.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have limitations and should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Both of these non-GAAP measures exclude certain cash expenses that we are obligated to make. In addition, other companies in our industry may calculate EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do or may not calculate them at all, limiting EBITDA’s and Adjusted EBITDA’s usefulness as comparative measures. We provide Adjusted EBITDA for illustrative and informational purposes only and this measure is not necessarily indicative of and we do not purport that it represents what our operating results would have been had the spin-off occurred on the first day of 2011. This information also does not reflect certain financial and operating benefits we expect to realize as a result of the spin-off.

Adjusted Pretax Margin and EBITDA Margin Excluding Adjusted Cost Reimbursements. Cost reimbursements revenue represents reimbursements we receive for costs we incur on behalf of managed and franchised properties and relates, predominantly, to payroll costs at managed properties where we are the employer, but also includes reimbursements for other costs, such as those associated with our Marriott Rewards and Ritz-Carlton Rewards programs. As we record cost reimbursements based on the costs we incur with no added markup, this revenue and related expense has no impact on either our operating income or net income because cost reimbursements revenue net of reimbursed costs expense is zero. We consider total revenues as adjusted for Timeshare Spin-off Adjustments and income before income taxes as adjusted for Timeshare Spin-off Adjustments meaningful for the reasons noted above. In calculating adjusted pretax margin and EBITDA margin we consider total revenues as adjusted to further exclude cost reimbursements and therefore, adjusted pretax margin and EBITDA margin excluding cost reimbursements to be meaningful metrics as they represent that portion of revenue, pretax margin, and EBITDA margin that impacts operating income and net income.
