Boykin Announces Results for Q4 and year 2005
CLEVELAND, OH, March 2, 2006. Boykin Lodging Company , a hotel real estate investment trust, today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2005.
Financial Highlights:
Revenue per available room (RevPAR) for the fourth quarter for hotels owned and operating as of December 31, 2005 increased 0.8% to $58.63 from last year's $58.19. The increase in RevPAR was the result of a 3.8% increase in average daily room rate to $97.96 and a 1.9 point decrease in occupancy to 59.8%.
The Company's net income attributable to common shareholders for the fourth quarter of 2005 totaled $6.3 million, or $0.35 per fully-diluted share, compared with the same period last year when net loss totaled $4.8 million, or $0.27 per share.
Funds from operations attributable to common shareholders (FFO) for the fourth quarter totaled $82,000, or $0.00 per fully diluted share, a decrease from fourth-quarter 2004 FFO of $0.7 million, or $0.04 per share. Primary contributors to the decrease in FFO included a $0.8 million decline in contribution from hotel operations as a result of lower levels of business interruption recoveries recorded and increasing insurance costs and a $0.4 million increase in corporate general and administrative expenses, all net of minority interest.
The Company's EBITDA for the fourth quarter, including the Company's share of EBITDA from unconsolidated joint venture subsidiaries, totaled $4.7 million, down from last year's fourth quarter EBITDA of $6.0 million as the result of a $1.0 million decline in contribution from hotel operations combined with a $0.5 million increase in corporate general and administrative expenses. The EBITDA change is not impacted by minority interest. FFO and EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures that should not be considered as alternatives to any measures of operating results under GAAP. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to GAAP measures is included in the financial tables accompanying this release.
The operating results of the five properties sold or divested during 2004, the two properties sold in 2005 and the joint venture which owned and leased out a third property sold in 2005 are reflected in the financial statements as discontinued operations for all periods presented.
