MeriStar Hospitality Corporation Reports Third Quarter 2005 Results

ARLINGTON, Va., November 1, 2005—MeriStar Hospitality Corporation (NYSE: MHX), one of the nation’s largest hotel real estate investment trusts (REIT), today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2005. Highlights of the company’s strong quarterly performance include¹:

•

Net loss of $(117) million or $(1.34) per diluted share compared to a net loss of $(27) million or $(0.31) per diluted share for the 2004 third quarter. The 2005 third quarter net loss includes the previously announced $(92) million or $(1.02) per diluted share impact of the defeasance cost, impairment and interest rate swap termination fee related to debt refinancing;

•

Adjusted funds from operations (FFO) per diluted share of $0.09 increased 350 percent compared to $0.02 per diluted share for the 2004 third quarter;

•

Adjusted EBITDA of $39.6 million increased nearly 17 percent compared to $33.9 million in the 2004 third quarter;

•

Revenue per available room (RevPAR) increased 11.5 percent for the comparable hotels, as average daily rate (ADR) rose 11.1 percent and occupancy improved 0.3 percent; and

•

Comparable hotel gross operating profit margins improved 137 basis points, and comparable hotel EBITDA margins improved 166 basis points.

¹FFO, Adjusted FFO, Adjusted EBITDA, and comparable hotel EBITDA margins are non-GAAP financial measures. See the notes to financial information for further discussion of these non-GAAP financial measures.

“We are pleased with the excellent results generated by our properties during the quarter,” said Paul W. Whetsell, chairman and chief executive officer. “Our strategy of reshaping our portfolio to one able to drive rate and improve margins is continuing to produce superior results and increase shareholder value. RevPAR exceeded the upper end of our guidance for the period and was driven almost entirely by rate.” The Marriott Irvine in southern

California and The Ritz-Carlton, Pentagon City in Arlington, Va., which were acquired mid-2004 and excluded from the comparable hotel RevPAR and margin results, achieved RevPAR gains of 26.4 percent and 15.7 percent, respectively, in the third quarter.

The company experienced operating strength in several key markets, including southern California and Washington, D.C., where RevPAR grew 18.6 percent and 11.7 percent, respectively. Additionally, the company’s New Jersey properties experienced a 17.1 percent growth in RevPAR as several renovated properties were able to take advantage of a strong market and drive both occupancy and ADR. The Radisson Lexington Avenue in Midtown Manhattan continued to perform well resulting in $561,000 in distributable cash in the quarter on the company’s equity interest, in addition to the $1.4 million return on the $40 million mezzanine loan.

Renovation Update

In the third quarter, the company invested $19.3 million in non-hurricane related capital improvements at its properties. “As part of our overall capital improvement program, we have invested $78.4 million in renovations and upgrades to our properties over the past nine months, and we are on track to reach our target of $115 million in 2005,” Whetsell said. “Property results are reflecting the positive impacts of this program. For example, the Radisson Chicago, which recently completed improvements to both the guest rooms and public space, including a reconcepting of the street-front restaurant, experienced a 22.1 percent increase in RevPAR for the quarter driven primarily by a 17.1 percent increase in ADR,” Whetsell continued.

“We expect our 2006 capital investment program to be well below 2005 levels as we near completion of our multi-year investment initiative and begin to approach more traditional levels of capital spending,” he added.

Asset Sales

The company sold three hotels, the Marina Hotel San Pedro, the Wyndham Garden

Marietta and the DoubleTree Albuquerque, during the third quarter for total gross proceeds of $25.3 million. On a combined basis, these properties sold for nearly 16 times their trailing twelve-month EBITDA. “Including the sale of the Hilton Monterey in May, we have generated total gross proceeds of $45.8 million year to date,” Whetsell said. “As we indicated last quarter, we have expanded our asset disposition activity to take advantage of the favorable market conditions. Based on our current outlook, we now expect to sell an additional $150 million to $200 million in assets by year-end, with the balance of the dispositions completed in the first quarter of 2006.”

Capital Structure

The company completed several key capital market transactions during the quarter. “We made significant progress toward our objective of strengthening our balance sheet and improving our credit statistics,” said Donald D. Olinger, chief financial officer. “Most significantly, we refinanced our $300 million CMBS loan and repurchased an additional $28.7 million of senior unsecured notes, bringing our total senior unsecured note repurchase for the year to more than $50 million. We also redeemed the remaining $33 million of our 8.75 percent senior subordinated notes at par and expanded our bank facility by $100 million. These transactions resulted in a substantial lowering of our weighted average cost of debt and annual interest expense, greater cash flow, and significant improvement in our overall credit statistics. In addition, the new CMBS structure provides the company greater flexibility with respect to substituting or selling assets in the collateral pool. As demonstrated by the recent sale of the DoubleTree Albuquerque, we now have the ability to sell those collateral assets that do not fit with our long-term strategy, thus reducing future capital requirements and generating proceeds to further reduce our debt.”

The company expects to use asset sale proceeds to continue to reduce its outstanding debt, with particular focus on the company’s $206 million of 10.5 percent senior unsecured

notes, which become callable in December 2005. Pending the timing of asset sales, the company currently expects to call between $100 million and $150 million in 2005 with the balance being redeemed in the first quarter of 2006.

Hurricane Update

Damage associated with Hurricane Katrina resulted in the temporary closure of the company’s two New Orleans properties, the 303-room Holiday Inn Select New Orleans Airport and the 23-room boutique Hotel Maison de Ville. The potential financial impact of the closure of these properties on company operations is not expected to be significant.

Three of MeriStar’s Florida properties that suffered damage from the hurricanes last fall remain closed. The Best Western Sanibel Island is expected to open in November, the South Seas Island Resort on Captiva is expected to open in December and the Holiday Inn Walt Disney World re-opening is scheduled for 2006.

Guidance

The company is maintaining its full year adjusted EBITDA guidance of $185 million to $190 million and projects a net loss of $(138) million to $(143) million. The guidance includes $4 million of additional business interruption (BI) insurance gain in the fourth quarter. This BI gain amount reflects the minimum cumulative amount of lost profit expected in the year from the properties impacted by the hurricanes last fall. Recognition of BI gain is subject to numerous requirements, and timing of the recognition of BI gain cannot be certain. RevPAR for the fourth quarter is estimated to increase 9 to 11 percent and 8.5 to 9.5 percent for the full year. Additionally, the company provided the following range of estimates for the fourth quarter and full year:

•

Net loss of $(9) million to $(14) million in the fourth quarter;

•

Adjusted EBITDA of $40 million to $45 million in the fourth quarter;

•

Net loss per diluted share of $(0.10) to $(0.16) in the fourth quarter and $(1.57) to $(1.63) for the full year;

•

FFO per diluted share of $0.10 to $0.16 in the fourth quarter and $(0.50) to $(0.56) for the full year; and

•

Adjusted FFO per diluted share of $0.10 to $0.16 in the fourth quarter and $0.64 to $0.70 for the full year.

See reconciliations of net loss to FFO per diluted share and Adjusted FFO per diluted share and net loss to Adjusted EBITDA included in the tables of this press release. FFO, Adjusted FFO, and Adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation, amortization and other items) are non-GAAP financial measures and should not be considered as alternatives to any measures of operating results under GAAP. See the notes to financial information for further discussion of these non-GAAP financial measures.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Funds From Operations

Substantially all of our non-current assets consist of real estate, and, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP, those assets are subject to straight-line depreciation, which reflects the assumption that the value of real estate assets, other than land, will decline ratably over time. That assumption is often not true with respect to the actual market values of real estate assets (and, in particular, hotels), which fluctuate based on economic, market and other conditions. As a result, management and many industry investors believe the presentation of GAAP operating measures for real estate companies to be more informative and useful when other measures, adjusted for depreciation and amortization, are also presented.

In an effort to address these concerns, the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT, adopted a definition of Funds From Operations, or FFO. NAREIT defines FFO as net income (computed in accordance with GAAP) excluding gains or losses from sales of real estate, real estate-related depreciation and amortization, and after comparable adjustments for our portion of these items related to unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Extraordinary items and cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles as defined by GAAP are also excluded from the calculation of FFO. As defined by NAREIT, FFO also does not include reductions from asset impairment charges. The SEC, however, recommends that FFO includes the effect of asset impairment charges, which is the presentation we have adopted for all historical presentations of FFO. We believe FFO is an indicative measure of our operating performance due to the significance of our hotel real estate assets and provides beneficial information to investors.

Adjusted FFO represents FFO excluding the effects of gains or losses on early extinguishments of debt, write-offs of deferred financing costs, contract termination costs and, in accordance with the NAREIT definition of FFO, asset impairment charges. We exclude the effects of gains or losses on early extinguishments of debt, write-offs of deferred financing costs, contract termination costs and asset impairment charges because we believe that including them in Adjusted FFO does not fully reflect the operating performance of our remaining assets. We believe Adjusted FFO is useful for the same reasons we believe that FFO is useful, but we also believe that Adjusted FFO enables us and the investor to consider our operating performance without considering the items we exclude from our definition of Adjusted FFO.

Consolidated Earnings Before Interest, Income Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization

EBITDA represents consolidated earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization and includes operations from the assets included in discontinued operations. We further adjust EBITDA for the effect of capital market transactions that would result in a gain or loss on early extinguishments of debt, contract termination costs, the earnings effect and distributions related to equity method investments, as well as the earnings effect of asset dispositions and any impairment assessments, resulting in the measure that we refer to as “Adjusted EBITDA.” We exclude the effect of gains or losses on early extinguishments of debt, contract termination costs, the earnings effect and distributions related to equity method investments, as well as the earnings effect of asset dispositions and impairment assessments because we believe that including them in Adjusted EBITDA does not fully reflect the operating performance of our remaining assets.

We also believe Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors regarding our financial condition and results of operations because Adjusted EBITDA is useful in evaluating our operating performance. Furthermore, we use Adjusted EBITDA to provide a measure of performance that can be isolated on an asset-by-asset basis to determine overall property performance. We believe that the rating agencies and a number of our lenders also use Adjusted EBITDA for those purposes. We also use Adjusted EBITDA as one measure in determining the value of acquisitions and dispositions.

Comparable Hotel Operating Results and Statistics

We present certain operating statistics (i.e., RevPAR, ADR and average occupancy) and operating results (revenues, expenses and operating profit) for the periods included in this report on a comparable hotel basis as supplemental information for investors. We define our comparable hotels as properties (i) that are owned by us and the operations of which are included in our consolidated results for the entirety of the reporting periods being compared, (ii) that have not sustained substantial property damage during the reporting periods being compared, and (iii) that are not planned for disposition as of the end of the period. Of the 69 hotels that we owned as of September 30, 2005, 57 have been classified as comparable hotels. The operating results of one hotel classified as held-for-sale and reflected in discontinued operations, nine hotels significantly affected by the hurricanes, and the two hotels acquired in 2004 that we owned as of September 30, 2005, are excluded from comparable hotel results for these periods. Additionally, changes in estimates to property tax expense, which are recorded when known, have been allocated to the period to which they relate, in order to maintain comparability between periods.

We present these comparable hotel operating results by eliminating corporate-level revenues and expenses, as well as depreciation and amortization and loss on asset impairments. We eliminate corporate-level revenues and expenses to arrive at property-level results because we believe property-level results provide investors with supplemental information into the ongoing operating performance of our hotels and the effectiveness of management in running our business on a property-level basis. We eliminate depreciation and amortization because, even though depreciation and amortization are property-level expenses, these non-cash expenses, which are based on historical cost accounting for real estate assets, implicitly assume that the value of real estate assets diminishes over time. Because real estate values have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, many industry investors have considered presentation of operating results for real estate companies that use historical cost accounting to be insufficient by themselves. We eliminate loss on asset impairments because these non-cash expenses are primarily related to our non-comparable properties, and do not reflect the operating performance of our comparable assets.

As a result of the elimination of corporate-level costs and expenses and depreciation and amortization, the comparable hotel operating results we present do not represent our total revenues, expenses or operating profit and should not be used to evaluate our performance as a whole. Management compensates for these limitations by separately considering the impact of these excluded items to the extent that they are material to operating decisions or assessments of our operating performance. Our consolidated statements of operations include such amounts, all of which should be considered by investors when evaluating our performance.

We present these hotel operating results on a comparable hotel basis because we believe that doing so provides investors and management with useful information for evaluating the period-to-period performance of our hotels and facilitates comparisons with other hotel REITs and hotel owners. In particular, these measures assist management and investors in distinguishing whether increases or decreases in revenues and/or expenses are due to growth or decline of operations at comparable hotels (which represent the vast majority of our portfolio) or from other factors, such as the effect of acquisitions or dispositions. While management believes that presentation of comparable hotel results is a “same store” supplemental measure that provides useful information in evaluating the ongoing performance of the Company, this measure is not used to allocate resources or to assess the operating performance of each of these hotels, as these decisions are based on data for individual hotels and are not based on comparable hotel results. For these reasons, we believe that comparable hotel operating results, when combined with the presentation of GAAP operating profit, revenues and expenses, provide useful information to management and investors.
