  • Choice Hotels Adjusted diluted earnings per share for second quarter 2010 were $0.45 compared to $0.44 for the same period of the prior year. Diluted EPS were $0.45 for second quarter 2010 compared to $0.42 for second quarter 2009. Adjusted diluted EPS for second quarter 2009 exclude certain special items, as described below, totaling $0.02.

    Excluding special items, adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") were $45.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010, compared to $42.0 million for the same period of 2009. Operating income for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 was $43.6 million and $38.1 million, respectively.

    Franchising revenues increased 2% from $66.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009 to $68.4 million for the same period of 2010. Total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2010 increased 5% compared to the same period of 2009.

    Adjusted selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") costs for the second quarter 2010 totaled $22.9 million which represented a 9% decline from the same period of the prior year. Adjusted SG&A costs exclude special items totaling ($0.1) million and $1.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

    Interest and other investment income (loss) for the three months ended June 30, 2010 declined by approximately $4.3 million from the same period of the prior year primarily due to the decline in the fair value of investments held in the company's non-qualified employee benefit plans during the current period compared to an appreciation in the fair value of these investments in the same period of the prior year.

    Domestic unit and room growth increased 2.6 percent and 2.2 percent, respectively, from June 30, 2009.

    Domestic system-wide revenue per available room ("RevPAR") increased 0.3% for the second quarter of 2010 compared to the same period of 2009 as occupancy rate increases of 130 basis points were partially offset by a 2.2% decline in average daily rates.

    The effective royalty rate increased 6 basis points to 4.32% for the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to 4.26% for the same period of the prior year.

    The company executed 62 new domestic hotel franchise contracts for the three months ended June 30, 2010, a decline of 47% compared to the 118 contracts executed in the same period of the prior year.

    The number of domestic hotels under construction, awaiting conversion or approved for development declined 29% from June 30, 2009 to 586 hotels representing 47,056 rooms; the worldwide pipeline declined 27% from June 30, 2009 to 683 hotels representing 55,782 rooms.

    "We're pleased to report positive domestic RevPAR for the first time since the second quarter of 2008, due in large part to gains in occupancy and a gradually improving average daily rate environment from this year's first quarter," said Stephen P. Joyce, president and chief executive officer. "We expect RevPAR to continue to show improvement for the remainder of the year, however we believe the hotel transaction environment will remain difficult and thus continue to adversely impact our franchise sales results. We are squarely focused on enhancing our ability to deliver reservations to our franchisees' hotels and strengthening our range of centralized support services designed to enhance our franchisees' profitability."

    Special Items

    During the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, the company recorded employee termination benefits charges (reversals) of approximately ($0.1) million and $0.2 million, respectively. These amounts did not have an effect on the reported diluted EPS for the periods reported.

    During the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, the company recorded employee termination benefits of approximately $0.4 million and $0.8 million, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, the company also recorded a $1.5 million charge related to the sublease of a portion of its office space. These special items represent diluted EPS of $0.02 for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2009.

    Outlook for 2010

    The company's third quarter 2010 diluted EPS is expected to be $0.57. The company expects full-year 2010 diluted EPS to be between $1.70 and $1.72. Adjusted EBITDA for full-year 2010 are expected to be between $167.5 million and $170 million. These estimates include the following assumptions:

    The company expects net domestic unit growth ranging from 1% to 2% in 2010;

    RevPAR is expected to increase approximately 6% for third quarter of 2010 and range from flat to an increase of 2% for full-year 2010;

    The effective royalty rate is expected to increase 6 basis points for full-year 2010;

    All figures assume the existing share count and an effective tax rate of 35.8% for the third quarter and full-year 2010;

    Projections assume that the company's existing credit facility remains in place for full-year 2010.

    Use of Free Cash Flow

    The company has historically used its free cash flow (cash flow from operations less capital expenditures) to return value to shareholders, primarily through share repurchases and dividends.

    For the six months ended June 30, 2010 the company paid $21.9 million of cash dividends to shareholders. The current quarterly dividend rate per common share is $0.185, subject to declaration by our board of directors.

    During the six months ended June 30, 2010, the company purchased approximately 0.2 million shares of its common stock at an average price of $31.75 for a total cost of $6.9 million under the share repurchase program and has authorization to purchase up to an additional 3.6 million shares under this program. No shares were repurchased under the repurchase program during the three months ended June 30, 2010. We expect to continue making repurchases in the open market and through privately negotiated transactions, subject to market and other conditions. No minimum number of share repurchases has been fixed. Since Choice announced its stock repurchase program on June 25, 1998, the company has repurchased 43.1 million shares of its common stock for a total cost of $1 billion through June 30, 2010. Considering the effect of a two-for-one stock split in October 2005, the company had repurchased 76.1 million shares through June 30, 2010 under the share repurchase program at an average price of $13.33 per share.

    Our Board previously authorized us to enter into programs which permit us to offer financing, investment and guaranty support to qualified franchisees as well as to acquire and resell real estate to incent franchise development for certain brands in top markets. Recent market conditions have resulted in an increase in opportunities to incent development under these programs. As a result, during the six months ended June 30, 2010, the Company has advanced approximately $10.2 million pursuant to these programs (of which $5 million has been repaid to the Company subsequent to June 30, 2010). In addition, during the three-months ended June 30, 2010 a $1.0 million loan guarantee issued in 2007 related to the development of a Cambria franchise expired. Subsequent to June 30, 2010 and through July 27, 2010, the Company advanced an additional $7.6 million under these programs.

    Over the next several years, we expect to continue to opportunistically deploy capital pursuant to these programs to promote growth of our emerging brands. The amount and timing of the investment in these programs will be dependent on market and other conditions. Our current expectation is that our annual investment in these programs will range from $20 million to $40 million. Notwithstanding these programs, the company expects to continue to return value to its shareholders through a combination of share repurchases and dividends, subject to market and other conditions.
