Operating income increased more than 15% for both full-year and fourth quarter 2005 compared to the same periods in the prior year, to $143.8 million and $36.2 million, respectively;

• Domestic unit growth increased 5.6%; excluding the acquisition of Suburban, domestic unit growth increased 3.9%;

• The domestic hotel pipeline of hotels under construction, awaiting conversion or approved for development increased more than 30% to 603 hotels representing 46,464 rooms; the worldwide pipeline increased 21% to 687 hotels, representing 54,075 rooms;

• According to Smith Travel Research (“STR”) Choice branded system-wide market share in the United States has increased 89 basis points to 7.35% of total industry rooms since 2002. The total number of domestic hotel rooms has increased at an annual rate of less than 1% per annum during these same 3 years.

“We are very pleased with our performance for the fourth quarter and for the full-year 2005. We achieved record results, including record franchise sales and our highest year-end domestic hotel pipeline. These results provide solid momentum heading into 2006 and reflect the strength and sustainability of our business model,” said Charles A. Ledsinger, Jr., president and chief executive officer. “While continuing to invest in the business, we also returned nearly $80 million to our shareholders through share repurchases and dividends during the year.”

He added, “We continue to be encouraged by our strong pipeline, the healthy operating environment for the lodging industry and the development potential for the two brands we added to our portfolio in 2005, the upscale Cambria Suites brand and Suburban Extended Stay Hotels.”

During 2005, the company acquired Suburban Franchise Holding Company, Inc., which included 67 Suburban Extended Stay Hotels units open and operating in the United States. The results of operations for Suburban have been included in the company’s results of operations since September 28, 2005.

Diluted earnings per share for each of the full-year and fourth quarter periods ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 include reductions of income tax expense related to the resolution of certain tax contingencies. Diluted earnings per share for full-year 2005 include additional income tax expense related to the company’s repatriation of foreign earnings pursuant to the American Jobs Creation Act. Diluted earnings per share for full-year 2004 include certain costs related to the extinguishment of debt. To present results on a comparable basis the company has provided adjusted diluted earnings per share amounts that exclude these items.

Use of Free Cash Flow

The company has consistently used its free cash flow (cash flow from operations less capital expenditures) generated from operations to return value to shareholders. This is primarily achieved through share repurchases and dividends.

During the year ended December 31, 2005, the company repurchased approximately 1.1 million shares (including 0.5 million prior to the 2 for 1 stock split effected in October 2005) of its common stock for a total cost of $48.6 million. The company has remaining authorization to purchase up to 5.1 million shares. No minimum number of shares has been fixed. Since Choice announced its stock repurchase program on June 25, 1998 and through February 14, 2006, the company has repurchased 33.6 million shares (including 33.0 million prior to the 2 for 1 stock split effected in October 2005) of its common stock at an average price of $21.16 per share and for a total cost of $711.9 million.

For the year ended December 31, 2005, the company paid $30.2 million of cash dividends to shareholders. The annual dividend rate per common share is $0.52.

The company expects to continue to return value to its shareholders through a combination of dividends and share repurchases, subject to market and other conditions.

Outlook for 2006

The company’s first quarter 2006 diluted EPS is expected to be $0.19 to $0.21. Full-year 2006 diluted EPS is expected to be $1.38 to $1.41. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) is expected to be $170 million to $173 million for full-year 2006. These estimates include the following assumptions.

• The company expects net domestic unit growth of approximately 4% in 2006;

• RevPAR is expected to increase 6.5% to 8% for first quarter 2006 and 5% to 6% for full-year 2006;

• The effective royalty rate is expected to increase 3 basis points for full-year 2006;

• All figures assume the existing share count, include stock-based compensation expense and assume an effective tax rate of 37.5%.

Such statements are based on management’s beliefs, assumptions and expectations, which in turn are based on information currently available to management.

Statement Concerning Non-GAAP Financial Measurements

Adjusted diluted earnings per share, franchising revenues, franchising margins, free cash flows and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) are non-GAAP financial measurements. These financial measurements are presented as supplemental disclosures because they are used by management in reviewing and analyzing the company’s performance. This information should not be considered as an alternative to any measure of performance as promulgated under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP), such as diluted earnings per share, total revenues, operating income margins, cash flows from operations and operating income. The company’s calculation of these measurements may be different from the calculation used by other companies and therefore comparability may be limited. The company has included exhibits accompanying this release that reconcile these measures to the comparable GAAP measurement.
