Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Inc. (“Starwood” or the “Company”) today reported EPS from continuing operations for the fourth quarter of 2004 of $0.51 compared to $0.42 in the fourth quarter of 2003. Excluding special items, primarily related to a $15 million (after-tax) net loss on the sale of assets and the impairment of a hotel and an investment, EPS from continuing operations was $0.57 for the fourth quarter of 2004 compared to $0.42 in the fourth quarter of 2003. Income from continuing operations was $111 million in the fourth quarter of 2004 compared to $88 million in 2003. Excluding special items, income from continuing operations was $123 million for the fourth quarter of 2004 compared to $87 million in 2003. Net income (after discontinued operations) was $100 million and EPS was $0.46 in the fourth quarter of 2004 compared to $87 million and EPS of $0.42 in the fourth quarter of 2003. Selling, general, administrative and other in the fourth quarter of 2004 includes cost of sales from our new Bliss spa and beauty products business (the revenue from this business is included in management fees, franchise fees and other income). The effective tax rate for the fourth quarter of 2004 was 1.7%. The tax rate and thereby income from continuing operations benefited from the reversal of $13 million of tax reserves as a result of the resolution of certain tax matters during the quarter.

Steven J. Heyer, CEO, said: “I’m very pleased with our industry-leading top and bottom line performance. Clearly the top line was helped in part by our well-located urban concentration of owned assets, but it is just as clear that we are enjoying significant share gains versus our competitive set, beyond that explained by location, owing to the resurgence and effectiveness of our brands. The top line gains are broad based, throughout North America and around the world, and ADR increases were more than 70% of our REVPAR increase.

Flow-through increased markedly as a result of the strong ADR increases, our productivity initiatives and a turnaround in the workers compensation issues of last year. Workers comp incidents were down more than 30% in 2004 versus 2003.

Meanwhile, our brand composition, innovation, identity and positioning efforts continue as we work to increase their value. The strength, value and potential of our brands is something we must capitalize on in the future.”

Operating Results:

Fourth Quarter Ended December 31, 2004

Cash flow from operations was $201 million compared to $260 million in 2003. The decrease primarily relates to the increase in restricted cash of $60 million primarily related to cash in escrow from pre-sales of vacation ownership interests. Total Company Adjusted EBITDA was $327 million compared to $271 million in 2003.

Owned, Leased and Consolidated Joint Venture Hotels

Owned Hotels in North America increased 11.7% at W, 11.4% at Sheraton, 10.8% at St. Regis/Luxury Collection, and 8.7% at Westin. REVPAR growth was particularly strong at the Company’s owned hotels in New York, Boston, Chicago, San Francisco, Los Angeles, New Orleans, Miami and Washington D.C. Revenue from transient travel was up 12.3% in North America when compared to 2003. Internationally, Same-Store Owned Hotel REVPAR increased 11.6%, with Latin America up 24.3% (REVPAR in owned hotels in Argentina and Mexico were particularly strong), Europe up 9.1% and Asia Pacific up 4.1%. Excluding the favorable effects of foreign exchange, REVPAR increased 4.9% internationally.

Total revenues at Same-Store Owned Hotels worldwide increased 9.7%, to $867 million when compared to $790 million in 2003 while costs and expenses at the hotels increased 6.1% to $643 million in 2004 compared to $606 million in 2003. Total revenues at Same-Store Owned Hotels in North America increased 8.7% to $631 million in 2004 when compared to $580 million in 2003 while costs and expenses at these hotels increased 3.4% to $464 million when compared to $449 million in 2003, resulting in increased margins of approximately 380 basis points.

System-wide REVPAR; Management/Franchise Fees

System-wide (owned, managed and franchised) branded REVPAR for Same-Store Hotels in North America increased 10.4%; Westin 11.8%, W Hotels 11.0%, Sheraton 9.7%, St. Regis/Luxury Collection 8.2%, and Four Points by Sheraton 8.9%. For the ninth quarter in a row, total Company market share in North America increased for the Company’s owned and managed hotels as well as for system-wide hotels. Total third-party management and franchise fees were $80 million, up $7 million, or 9.2%, from last year.

Distribution

Starwood’s central distribution systems gross bookings increased approximately 10% and 12% for the fourth quarter and full year 2004 when compared to the same periods in 2003. Gross online bookings through proprietary branded websites increased 29% in 2004 as compared to 2003, with gross dollar bookings from the proprietary branded sites increasing 38%. Gross online dollar bookings represented approximately 10% of the overall gross dollar bookings, with 72% of that coming from our proprietary branded websites.

Vacation Ownership and Residential

Vacation ownership and residential revenue, which excludes gains on sales of notes receivable, was up $85 million, or 75.9% to $197 million in the fourth quarter of 2004 when compared to 2003 primarily due to residential sales at the St. Regis Museum Tower in San Francisco and vacation ownership sales at our resorts in Aspen, Maui, Orlando and Scottsdale. Contract sales, excluding fractional sales at the St. Regis Aspen and residential sales at the St. Regis in San Francisco, were up 28.4%. The average price per timeshare unit sold increased approximately 3.9% to $20,447, and the number of contracts signed increased approximately 23.6% in the fourth quarter of 2004 when compared to 2003.

In December 2004, the Company completed the conversion of 98 guest rooms at the St. Regis in Aspen, Colorado into 25 fractional units, which are being sold in four week intervals, and 20 new hotel rooms. Also, in the fourth quarter of 2004, the Company began selling condominiums at the St. Regis Museum Tower which is under construction in San Francisco, and recognized revenues of approximately $15 million.

In addition to its robust pipeline of existing vacation ownership inventory, the Company continues to evaluate its existing owned real estate for potential conversion to vacation ownership, fractional, or residential projects. The Company is also working with its business partners to develop similar conversion opportunities at managed hotels. The Company has identified a significant number of projects which could supply the vacation ownership and residential pipeline with sales at or above its current levels for at least ten years.

During the fourth quarter of 2004, the Company sold $25 million of notes receivable and recognized gains of $3 million as compared to gains of $9 million in the same period of 2003. New development planning continues for the owned Sheraton Kauai, the owned land at the Princeville resort in Kauai, the owned Sheraton Cancun, as well as other Mexico properties, and a second phase at the Westin Mission Hills Resort.

Brand Development/Unit Growth

During the fourth quarter, the Company signed 20 full service hotel management and franchise contracts (representing approximately 5,200 rooms) including the Westin Bellevue (Bellevue, Washington, 337 rooms), W LA Sunset (Los Angeles, California , 164 rooms), Sheraton Oran (Oran, Algeria, 321 rooms) and Sheraton Haikou Resort (China, 330 rooms), and opened 9 new hotels and resorts, including Sheraton Keauhou Bay Resort (Kailua-Kona, Hawaii, 521 rooms), Sheraton Read House Chattanooga Hotel (Chattanooga, Tennessee, 249 rooms), and Sheraton Old San Juan (San Juan, Puerto Rico, 240 rooms). Additionally during the fourth quarter 11 properties (representing approximately 2,800 rooms) were removed from the system (6 Four Points and 5 Sheratons.) The Company expects to open approximately 40 new full-service hotels and resorts (approximately 9,000 rooms) around the world in 2005. The Company had approximately 160 full service hotels and approximately 42,000 rooms in its active global development pipeline at December 31, 2004, with roughly half of that number in international locations. Additionally, during the fourth quarter, the Company opened the new Bliss spa at the W New York (20,000 square feet) and our first Remede Spa at the St. Regis in Aspen (15,000 square feet). In 2005, the Company plans to open 3 new Bliss spas in W hotels in San Francisco, Los Angeles and Chicago and 2 new Remede Spas in St. Regis hotels in San Francisco and New York with several others in various planning stages.

million and EPS was $1.84 in 2004 compared to $309 million and $1.50, respectively, in 2003.

Cash flow from operations for the twelve months ended December 31, 2004 was $578 million compared to $771 million in the same period of 2003. The decrease primarily relates to the increase in restricted cash of $257 million, primarily related to pre-sales of vacation ownership interests. A substantial portion of this restricted cash will be released upon issuance of the certificate of occupancy for Phase 2 of the Westin Ka’anapali project which is expected to be received in the third quarter of 2005. Total Company Adjusted EBITDA for the twelve months ended December 31, 2004 was $1.150 billion, compared to $917 million (excluding sold hotels) in the same period in 2003.

Capital:

Gross capital spending during the quarter included approximately $81 million in renovations of hotel assets including construction capital at the St. Regis in Aspen, Colorado, the Boston Park Plaza, the Westin St. John, and the Sheraton Hotel and Towers in New York. Investment spending on VOI capital assets (primarily net capital expenditures for inventory) was $18 million, including VOI construction at Westin Ka’anapali Ocean Resort Villas in Maui, Hawaii and at Westin Mission Hills Resort in Rancho Mirage, California and construction of fractional units at the St. Regis in Aspen, Colorado. Additionally during the quarter, further investment spending of $44 million included the ongoing development of the St. Regis Museum Tower in San Francisco (260 hotel rooms and 102 condominium units). To date, the Company has invested $221 million in the St. Regis Museum Tower project, which is expected to open in the summer of 2005. The Company expects to realize gross proceeds of approximately $200 million from the sale of the project’s condominiums.

Share Repurchase:

For the quarter ended December 31, 2004, the Company repurchased 1,486,600 shares at a total cost of approximately $77.9 million (an average cost of $52.38 per share). In the twelve months ended December 31, 2004, the Company repurchased 7,030,283 shares at a total cost of approximately $310 million (an average cost of $44.06 per share). At December 31, 2004, approximately $296 million remained available under the Company’s Board authorized share repurchase program, and Starwood had approximately 211 million shares outstanding (including partnership units and exchangeable preferred shares).

In addition, the Company continues to have an approximate $200 million investment in the senior debt of Le Meridien hotels.

Outlook:

All comments in the following paragraphs and certain comments in this release above are deemed to be forward-looking statements. These statements reflect expectations of the Company’s performance given its current base of assets and its current understanding of external economic and geo-political environments. Actual results may differ materially.

For the three months ended March 31, 2005, excluding the effects of the Share-Based Payment amendment to FASB Statement No. 123, if REVPAR at Same-Store Owned Hotels in North America increases approximately 6% — 8% versus the same period in 2004 (in January 2005 REVPAR at Same-Store Owned Hotels in North America increased 9.5% when compared to the same period in 2004):

  •   Adjusted EBITDA would be expected to be approximately $275 million, an increase of 24% when compared to the same period of 2004.
 
  •   Net income would be expected to be approximately $66 million, an increase of 100% when compared to income from continuing operations before special items in the first quarter of 2004.
 
  •   EPS would be expected to be $0.30, an increase of 88% when compared to EPS from continuing operations before special items in the first quarter of 2004.

First quarter REVPAR is currently expected to increase less than full year 2005 REVPAR due primarily to the timing of the Easter and Passover holidays. In 2005 both holidays are in March, while in 2004 both holidays were in April.

For the full year 2005, excluding the effects of the Share-Based Payment amendment to FASB Statement No. 123, if REVPAR at Same-Store Owned Hotels in North America increases approximately 8% - 10% versus the full year 2004:

  •   Full year revenues, including other revenues from managed and franchised properties, would be expected to be approximately $5.9 billion.
 
  •   Full year Adjusted EBITDA would be expected to increase approximately 17.4% to approximately $1.350 billion, when compared to 2004 Adjusted EBITDA of $1.150 billion.
 
  •   Full year net income would be expected to be approximately $440 million at a 24% effective tax rate, which assumes an annual dividend of $0.84 per Share (payable in January 2006), when compared to 2004 income from continuing operations before special items of approximately $348 million at a 13.9% effective tax rate.
 
  •   Full year EPS would be expected to increase approximately 23.4% to $2.00 when compared to 2004 EPS from continuing operations before special items of $1.62.
 
  •   Full year capital expenditures (excluding timeshare inventory) would be approximately $600 million, including $300 million for maintenance, renovation and

-6-


 

      technology, approximately $100 million for the completion of the St. Regis San Francisco multi-use project under construction, and $200 million for other growth initiatives. Additionally, net capital expenditures for timeshare inventory would be approximately $100 million.

  •   For the full year the Company expects cash interest expense of approximately $285 million and cash taxes of approximately $50 million.

Special Items:

The Company recorded net charges of $12 million (after-tax) for special items in the fourth quarter of 2004 compared to $1 million of net benefit (after-tax) in the same period of 2003.

Special items in the fourth quarter of 2004 primarily relate to the net loss or impairment on hotels and an investment totaling $15 million (after-tax), offset in part by the $3 million reversal of tax reserves no longer deemed necessary.

The following represents a reconciliation of income from continuing operations before special items to income from continuing operation after special items (in millions, except per share data):

During the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2003, the Company received $12 million in a favorable settlement of a litigation matter. This credit was offset by an increase of $13 million in a reserve for legal defense costs associated with a separate litigation matter. Additionally, during the three and twelve month periods ending December 31, 2003, the Company reversed a $9 million liability that was originally established in 1997 for the ITT Excess Pension Plan and is no longer required as the Company finalized the settlement of its remaining obligations associated with the plan.

(c)   For the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2004, respectively, reflects the loss on the sale or impairment of hotels and an investment offset, in part, by the gain on sale of one of the Company’s hotels. For the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2003 primarily represents the loss on the sale or impairment of 18 hotels.
 
(d)   Represents taxes on special items at the Company’s incremental tax rate.
 
(e)   Tax benefits in the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 reflect the favorable results of certain changes to the Federal tax rules, the resolution of various tax matters that were successfully settled during these periods, or reversal of tax reserves no longer deemed necessary.

The Company has included the above supplemental information concerning special items to assist investors in analyzing Starwood’s financial position and results of operations. The Company has chosen to provide this information to investors to enable them to perform meaningful comparisons of past, present and future operating results and as a means to emphasize the results of core on-going operations.

Starwood will be conducting a conference call to discuss the fourth quarter financial results at 10:30 a.m. (EST) today. The conference call will be available through simultaneous webcast in the Investor Relations/Press Releases section of the Company’s website at www.starwoodhotels.com. A replay of the conference call will also be available from 1:30 p.m. (EST) today through Thursday, February 10 at 12:00 midnight (EST) on both the Company’s website and via telephone replay at (719) 457-0820 (access code 729974).

Definitions:

All references to EPS, unless otherwise noted, reflect earnings per diluted share from continuing operations. All references to “net capital expenditures” means gross capital expenditures for timeshare and fractional inventory net of cost of sales. EBITDA represents net income before interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization. The Company believes that EBITDA is a useful measure of the Company’s operating performance due to the significance of the Company’s long-lived assets and level of indebtedness. EBITDA is a commonly used measure of performance in its industry which, when considered with GAAP measures, the Company believes gives a more complete understanding of the Company’s ability to service debt, fund capital expenditures, pay income taxes and pay cash distributions. It also facilitates comparisons between the Company and its competitors. The Company’s management has historically adjusted EBITDA (i.e., “Adjusted EBITDA” and “Adjusted EBITDA excluding assets sold in 2003”) when evaluating operating performance for the total Company as well as for individual properties or groups of properties because the Company believes that the inclusion or exclusion of certain recurring and non-recurring items, such as the special items described on page 7 of this release and/or revenues and costs and expenses from hotels sold, is necessary to provide the most accurate measure of core operating results and as a means to evaluate comparative results. The Company’s management also used Adjusted EBITDA as a measure in determining the value of acquisitions and dispositions and it is used in the annual budget process. Due to recent guidance from the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Company now does not reflect such items when calculating EBITDA; however, the Company continues to adjust for these special items and refers to this measure as Adjusted EBITDA. The Company has historically reported this measure to its investors and believes that the continued inclusion of Adjusted EBITDA provides consistency in its financial reporting and enables investors to perform more meaningful comparisons of past, present and future operating results and provides a means to evaluate the results of its core on-going operations. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not intended to represent cash flow from operations as defined by GAAP and such metrics should not be considered as an alternative to net income, cash flow from operations or any other performance measure prescribed by GAAP. The Company’s calculation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may be different from the calculations used by other companies and, therefore, comparability may be limited.

All references to Same-Store Owned Hotels reflect the Company’s owned, leased and consolidated joint venture hotels, excluding hotels sold to date, and under significant renovation or for which comparable results are not available. REVPAR is defined as revenue per available room. ADR is defined as average daily rate.

  (a)   The Company includes in revenues the reimbursement of costs incurred on behalf of managed hotel property owners and franchisees with no added margin and includes in costs and expenses these reimbursed costs. These costs relate primarily to payroll costs at managed properties where the Company is the employer.
 
  (b)   Interest expense is net of $0 and $7 million of discontinued operations allocations for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2003, respectively.
 
  (c)   For 2003, the Hotel Principe di Savoia in Milan, Italy (“Principe”) is reported as a discontinued operation as a result of the sale of this hotel in June 2003 with no continuing involvement.
 
  (d)   Activity in the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2004 primarily represents the adjustments to the tax liability associated with the successful resolution of certain contingencies and the reversal of reserves that are no longer required as the related contingencies have been resolved, both of which are related to the 1999 divestiture of the Company’s gaming business. Activity in the year ended December 31, 2003 primarily relates to a $194 million (pre-tax) gain recorded in connection with the sale of the Principe in June 2003.
