Mr. Halkyard continued, “Our operating model, combined with strong capital returns, allowed us to grow Adjusted FFO and Adjusted Paired Share Income per Paired Share by double digit increases for the second quarter in a row.”

Financial and Operating Results

Total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2018 were $336.5 million, a decrease of 0.6% over the same period in 2017. The decrease in revenue was driven by hotel dispositions in 2017 and in 2018, partially offset by an increase in RevPAR and franchise and management fee revenue. Total revenues on a comparable basis increased 1.8% for the quarter. Total revenues for the first six months of 2018 were $634.3 million, an increase of 0.8% over the same period in 2017. Total revenues on a comparable basis increased 2.7% for the first six months of 2018 compared to the same period in 2017.

Comparable system-wide RevPAR for the three months ended June 30, 2018 grew 1.6% over the same period in 2017 to $53.91, driven by an improvement in average daily rate (“ADR”) of 3.4%, partially offset by a 130 basis point decline in occupancy. Comparable company-owned RevPAR increased 1.7% during the quarter to $54.28. Company-owned RevPAR increased 2.4% during the quarter, reflecting the sales of non-core hotels and the increase in comparable company-owned RevPAR. Comparable system-wide RevPAR for the first half of 2018 grew 2.6% over the same period in 2017.

Hotel Operating Margin¹ for the three months ended June 30, 2018 was 56.4% compared to 56.7% in the same period in 2017. The decline in Hotel Operating Margin was driven by an increase in payroll and reservation expenses. Hotel Operating Margin for the first half of 2018 was 54.5% compared to 54.8% in the same period in 2017.

Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2018 was $65.6 million compared to $49.7 million in the same period in 2017, an increase of 31.9%. Net income in the second quarter was favorably impacted by a decrease in effective tax rate, lower depreciation and amortization, a reduction in hotel operating expenses and reduced impairment charges. Income tax expense for the three months ended June 30, 2018 was $14.4 million compared to $15.9 million in the same period in 2017. Net income for the first half of 2018 was $96.7 million compared to $65.8 million in the same period in 2017, an increase of 46.9%.

Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended June 30, 2018 was $167.3 million, a decline of 3.2% compared to the same period in 2017. The decline in Adjusted EBITDA was due to asset dispositions in 2017 and 2018 resulting in lost contributions of approximately $6.0 million. Adjusted EBITDA excludes non-cash equity-based compensation expense of $1.8 million and net gain of $0.3 million on other items. Adjusted EBITDA for the first six months of 2018 was $299.5 million, a decline of 1.0% compared to the same period in 2017 due to asset dispositions in 2017 and 2018.

Adjusted FFO for the three months ended June 30, 2018 was $109.9 million, an increase of 7.8% compared to the same period in 2017. The increase in Adjusted FFO was primarily due to a lower effective tax rate and a reduction in hotel operating expenses. Adjusted FFO per diluted Paired Share was $0.58 compared to $0.53 in the same period in 2017. Adjusted FFO for the first six months of 2018 was $189.9 million, an increase of 11.3% compared to the same period in 2017. Adjusted FFO per Paired Share for the first six months of 2018 was $1.00 compared to $0.88 in the same period in 2017. Adjusted FFO, a non-GAAP measure, represents funds from operations, as adjusted, attributable to the consolidated enterprise, whose representative equity security is a Paired Share. A Paired Share entitles its holder to participate in 100% of the common equity and earnings of both Extended Stay America, Inc. and ESH Hospitality, Inc.

Adjusted Paired Share Income for the three months ended June 30, 2018 was $66.3 million, or $0.35 per diluted Paired Share, compared to $60.5 million, or $0.31 per diluted Paired Share, in the same period in 2017. The increase in Adjusted Paired Share Income was due to a decrease in effective tax rate and lower depreciation expense. Adjusted Paired Share Income for the first half of 2018 was $103.7 million, or $0.54 per diluted Paired Share, compared to $89.0 million, or $0.46 per diluted Paired Share, in the same period in 2017. Adjusted Paired Share Income, a non-GAAP measure, represents net income, as adjusted, attributable to the consolidated enterprise, whose representative equity security is a Paired Share.

Capital Expenditures

The Company invested $56.2 million in capital expenditures during the second quarter of 2018. This included approximately $14.6 million in capital expenditures for new hotel development and conversions and $14.9 million in capital expenditures for IT projects. For the first half of 2018, the Company invested $89.7 million in capital expenditures.

Asset Dispositions and Acquisitions

The Company has signed purchase and sale agreements with three portfolio buyers for a total of 46 hotels. Under the terms of these agreements, the hotels will remain branded as Extended Stay America, the buyers will pay franchise fees to the Company and the buyers will agree to build or convert additional Extended Stay America hotels in the future. These transactions, subject to customary due diligence, are expected to close in 2018 or early 2019.

In the second quarter of 2018, the Company purchased and converted one hotel for approximately $13.0 million. The Company expects to purchase another hotel for conversion in the second half of 2018.

Hotel Pipeline, as of June 30, 2018

2018 Outlook

The Company’s outlook for 2018 is updated as follows:

Full Year 2018		Updated Outlook						Previous Outlook
in millions, except % and # of hotels	Low				High			Low			High

# of hotels owned on 12/31/18	600							600
Room and other hotel revenues	$		1,257		$	1,279		$	1,257		$	1,282
Comparable system-wide RevPAR % D			1.0	%		2.75	%		1.0	%		3.0	%
Net income	$		194		$	208		$	188		$	207
Adjusted Paired Share Income/Paired Share	$		1.07		$	1.15		$	1.04		$	1.14
Adjusted EBITDA	$		595		$	610		$	600		$	620
Comparable Adjusted EBITDA % D			-1.3	%		+1.2	%		-0.5	%		+2.8	%
Depreciation and amortization	$		213		$	213		$	220		$	220
Net interest expense	$		130		$	130		$	130		$	130
Effective tax rate			16.5	%		17	%		16	%		17	%
Capital expenditures	$		205		$	235		$	205		$	235
Expected capital returns	$		260		$	300		$	260		$	300

Our updated comparable system-wide RevPAR and adjusted EBITDA guidance now includes renovation room disruption in the fourth quarter of 2018. While unchanged in total from prior guidance, our 2018 capital expenditure outlook now reflects capital expenditures for our next cycle of hotel renovations beginning in the fourth quarter of 2018, offset by a reduction in expected maintenance and ESA 2.0 related capital expenditures. The above guidance assumes no further asset dispositions in 2018 but does assume the purchase of one additional hotel for conversion.
