James F. Risoleo, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, "We ended 2023 on a high note, marking the seventh consecutive quarter that Host achieved comparable hotel Total RevPAR, RevPAR, and comparable hotel EBITDA and comparable hotel margins at or above 2019 levels. Full year comparable hotel RevPAR grew 8.1% over 2022, driven by both rate and occupancy increases. In the fourth quarter, our RevPAR grew 1.5% over the fourth quarter of 2022 to $202.92. Our results during the quarter were driven by rate increases of 0.4% and continued occupancy improvements at our convention and downtown hotels.”

Risoleo continued, “Over the course of the year, we continued to successfully allocate capital through reinvestment in our portfolio, share repurchases, and dividend increases. We are especially pleased with the work we have completed on our strategic objectives, which included redefining the hotel operating model with our managers, gaining market share through comprehensive renovations, and strategically allocating capital to development ROI projects. We believe we will continue to benefit from these ongoing efforts, which is underscored by our 2024 comparable hotel RevPAR guidance range of 2.5% to 5.5% growth over 2023. During the quarter, we increased our quarterly cash dividend by 11% to $0.20 per share, returning to our pre-pandemic quarterly dividend level, and declared a $0.25 special dividend. Additionally, we repurchased $31 million of common stock in the fourth quarter, bringing total repurchases for the year to $181 million. We are optimistic on the backdrop for our business, and we will continue to position Host to take advantage of potential opportunities in the future.”

2023 HIGHLIGHTS:

• Comparable hotel RevPAR and Total RevPAR were $211.71 and $344.63, respectively, for full year 2023, representing an increase of 8.1% and 8.3%, respectively, compared to 2022, driven by an increase in both occupancy and rate during the year. Growth in city-center markets, fueled by improvements in group business, led to the overall improvement, offsetting moderating rates at resorts in comparison to 2022.
• GAAP net income was $752 million for full year 2023 reflecting a 17.0% increase compared to 2022, primarily due to an increase in operating profit and gain on asset sales, while GAAP operating profit margin declined 20 basis points compared to 2022 to 15.6%. Results included $83 million of business interruption gains.
• Comparable hotel EBITDA was $1,557 million for full year 2023, a 2.4% increase compared to 2022 results, while comparable hotel EBITDA margin declined 170 basis points to 30.1%.
• As expected, margin declines for the year were driven by stabilized staffing levels in comparison to 2022, higher insurance and utility expenses and lower attrition and cancelation fees.
• Adjusted EBITDAre was $1,629 million for full year 2023, exceeding 2022 by 8.7%, reflecting increased operations and the business interruption proceeds discussed below.
• Reopened The Ritz-Carlton, Naples in July 2023 following restoration efforts as a result of Hurricane Ian in September 2022. The reopening introduced transformational renovations to all guestrooms and suites, as well as a new tower expansion, and a reimagined arrival experience. As of December 31, 2023, the Company has received insurance proceeds of $213 million out of the expected potential insurance recovery of approximately $310 million for covered costs related to damage and disruption caused by Hurricane Ian. Of these proceeds, $80 million was recognized as a gain on business interruption in 2023, including $26 million recognized in the fourth quarter.
• Completed the Marriott Transformational Capital Program. The program, which began in 2018, included extensive guestroom and public area renovations at 16 assets and finished under budget. In December 2023, also debuted the renovations at Fairmont Kea Lani, including a transformed lobby and updated guestrooms.
• Reached an agreement with Hyatt to complete transformational reinvestment capital projects at six properties in the Company's portfolio: the Grand Hyatt Atlanta in Buckhead, Grand Hyatt Washington, Manchester Grand Hyatt San Diego, Hyatt Regency Austin, Hyatt Regency Washington on Capitol Hill, and Hyatt Regency Reston.
• Broke ground on the development of 40 fee-simple condominiums on a five-acre development parcel at Golden Oak in Orlando, adjacent to Four Seasons Resort Orlando at Walt Disney World® Resort. Construction is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2025.
• Declared dividends per common share of $0.90 for the full year 2023, including a $0.25 per share special dividend, and returned the quarterly dividend to its pre-pandemic level of $0.20 per share in the fourth quarter.
• Continuing its progress towards the Company's renewable energy goals, five properties achieved LEED® certification during the year, bringing the total to 14, and reached the required milestone for a 2.5 basis point reduction in the interest rate on the outstanding term loans under the Company's sustainability-linked credit facility, per the January 2023 amendments.
• Maintained investment grade balance sheet and attained upgrades to Host Hotels & Resorts, L.P.'s issuer-credit ratings from Fitch to BBB and S&P Global to BBB-.

Results for Fourth Quarter 2023

• Comparable hotel RevPAR and Total RevPAR were $202.92 and $333.43, respectively, in the fourth quarter representing an increase of 1.5% and 0.7%, respectively, compared to the same period in 2022, driven by an increase in both occupancy and rate, while the increase in Total RevPAR was slightly lower due to a decline in attrition and cancelation fees.
• GAAP net income was $134 million in the fourth quarter, a decrease from the fourth quarter of 2022 of 10.1%, while GAAP operating profit margin was 13.1% for the quarter, a decrease of 90 basis points compared to the fourth quarter of 2022. Business interruption gains of $26 million in the quarter were offset by the decline in comparable hotel EBITDA, which is discussed below, as well as taxes related to the business interruption gains.
• Comparable hotel EBITDA was $355 million for the fourth quarter, representing a decline compared to fourth quarter 2022 results, primarily driven by the evolving nature of demand in Maui and reflecting a decrease in comparable hotel EBITDA margin of 180 basis points to 28.1%.
• Adjusted EBITDAre was $378 million for the fourth quarter, exceeding the same period in 2022 by 3.8% and benefiting from business interruption proceeds.

Maui Update

• As a result of the August wildfires in Maui, Hawaii, and the resulting impact on the Company's Maui hotels, golf courses and joint venture timeshare, the Company estimates that, in the fourth quarter, net income and Adjusted EBITDAre were impacted by approximately $15 million, RevPAR was impacted by 130 basis points, and Total RevPAR was impacted by 150 basis points. Operating profit margin and comparable hotel EBITDA margin are estimated to have been impacted by approximately 40 basis points and 30 basis points, respectively, for the fourth quarter.
• For the full year, the estimated impact to net income and Adjusted EBITDAre was approximately $22 million, RevPAR was impacted by 50 basis points, and Total RevPAR was impacted by 70 basis points. Operating profit margin and comparable hotel EBITDA margin are both estimated to have been impacted by approximately 10 basis points for the year.

BALANCE SHEET

The Company maintains a robust balance sheet, with the following balances at December 31, 2023:

• Total assets of $12.2 billion.
• Debt balance of $4.2 billion, with a weighted average maturity of 4.2 years, a weighted average interest rate of 4.5%, and a balanced maturity schedule with the next significant maturity of $400 million due in April 2024. Following the Company's ratings increase, the spread on the credit facility term loans was reduced by 25 basis points.
• Total available liquidity of approximately $2.9 billion, including furniture, fixtures and equipment escrow reserves of $217 million and $1.5 billion available under the revolver portion of the credit facility.
  

During the fourth quarter of 2023, the $250 million loan to the buyer of the Sheraton New York Times Square Hotel was repaid in full.

__________

^{(1) Represents construction costs for the development of condominium units on a land parcel adjacent to Four Seasons Resort Orlando at Walt Disney World® Resort. Under U.S. GAAP, costs to develop units for resale are considered an operating activity on the statement of cash flows, and categorized as inventory. This spend is separate from payments for capital expenditures, which are considered investing activities.}

In addition to completing the Marriott Transformational Capital Program in 2023, the Company completed transformational renovations at eight other hotels, which started in 2020, and believes the renovations will continue to position these hotels to capture additional revenue. Under the new Hyatt Transformational Capital Program, the Company expects to receive $9 million of operating guarantees in 2024 to offset expected business disruptions. The 2024 forecast for capital expenditures also includes an estimated $25 million for final restoration efforts at The Ritz-Carlton, Naples.

2024 OUTLOOK

The 2024 guidance range contemplates a stable operating environment with a continued improvement in group business, a gradual recovery in business transient, steady leisure demand, and continued evolution of demand on Maui as the island recovers from the recent wildfires. Growth in the first half of 2024 is expected to be in the low single-digits, with January 2024 comparable hotel RevPAR estimated to be $187, representing a 140 basis point increase to 2023. The first half of the year faces difficult comparisons to 2023, which saw a surge in the recovery of downtown markets, driven by group business improvements, and elevated leisure demand. The second half of the year is expected to have stronger year-over-year improvements due to better group booking pace, less renovation disruption compared to the second half of 2023 and diminishing impacts from the wildfire event in Maui, which occurred in early August of 2023.

Operating profit margin in 2024 is expected to remain static to 2023, while comparable hotel EBITDA margins are expected to decline compared to 2023, due to the impacts from the Maui wildfires and continued growth in wages, real estate taxes and insurance. At the midpoint of guidance, the impact from the Maui wildfires is expected to be an approximate decline of 100 basis points in both RevPAR and Total RevPAR and 50 basis points in margins. At the midpoint, in comparison to 2019, operating profit margin is expected to increase 120 basis points and comparable hotel EBITDA margins are expected to be down only 20 basis points compared to 2019, as portfolio-wide cost reductions continue to curb inflation.

The guidance range for net income and Adjusted EBITDAre includes $10 million of gains from business interruption proceeds expected to be received in 2024 related to Hurricane Ian and an estimated contribution from operations at The Ritz-Carlton, Naples, which is excluded from the comparable hotel set in 2024, of $12 million to net income and $60 million to Adjusted EBITDAre. The guidance range does not include any assumption for business interruption proceeds from the Maui wildfires, and any additional insurance receipts related to Hurricane Ian are still under discussion with insurance carriers, with the majority of the remaining proceeds expected to be related to property damages.

The Company anticipates its 2024 operating results as compared to 2023 will be in the following range:

	Full Year 2024 Guidance
	Low-end of range				High-end of range				Change vs 2023
Comparable hotel Total RevPAR	$	355			$	365			2.9% to 5.8%
Comparable hotel RevPAR		217				223			2.5% to 5.5%
Total revenues under GAAP		5,589				5,743			5.2% to 8.1%
Operating profit margin under GAAP		15.2	%			16.3	%		(40) bps to 70 bps
Comparable hotel EBITDA margin		28.9	%			29.7	%		(120) bps to (40) bps

Based upon the above parameters, the Company estimates its 2024 guidance as follows:

	Full Year 2024 Guidance
	Low-end of range			High-end of range
Net income (in millions)	$	708		$	794
Adjusted EBITDAre (in millions)		1,590			1,680
Diluted earnings per common share		0.99			1.11
NAREIT FFO per diluted share		1.92			2.04
Adjusted FFO per diluted share		1.92			2.04

HOST HOTELS & RESORTS, INC. Notes to Financial Information

FORECASTS

Our forecast of net income, earnings per diluted share, NAREIT and Adjusted FFO per diluted share, EBITDA, EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDAre and comparable hotel results are forward-looking statements and are not guarantees of future performance and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause actual results and performance to differ materially from those expressed or implied by these forecasts. Although we believe the expectations reflected in the forecasts are based upon reasonable assumptions, we can give no assurance that the expectations will be attained or that the results will not be materially different. Risks that may affect these assumptions and forecasts include the following: potential changes in overall economic outlook make it inherently difficult to forecast the level of RevPAR; the amount and timing of debt payments may change significantly based on market conditions, which will directly affect the level of interest expense and net income; the amount and timing of transactions involving shares of our common stock may change based on market conditions; and other risks and uncertainties associated with our business described herein and in our annual report on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and current reports on Form 8-K filed with the SEC.

COMPARABLE HOTEL OPERATING STATISTICS AND RESULTS

Effective January 1, 2023, the Company ceased presentation of All Owned Hotel results that was used while the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted operations, limiting the usefulness of year-over-year comparisons, and returned to a comparable hotel presentation for its hotel level results. Management believes this provides investors with a better understanding of underlying growth trends for the Company’s current portfolio, without impact from properties that experienced closures due to renovations or property damage sustained.

To facilitate a year-to-year comparison of our operations, we present certain operating statistics (i.e., Total RevPAR, RevPAR, average daily rate and average occupancy) and operating results (revenues, expenses, hotel EBITDA and associated margins) for the periods included in our reports on a comparable hotel basis in order to enable our investors to better evaluate our operating performance. We define our comparable hotels as those that: (i) are owned or leased by us as of the reporting date and are not classified as held-for-sale; and (ii) have not sustained substantial property damage or business interruption, or undergone large-scale capital projects, in each case requiring closures lasting one month or longer (as further defined below), during the reporting periods being compared.

We make adjustments to include recent acquisitions to include results for periods prior to our ownership. For these hotels, since the year-over-year comparison includes periods prior to our ownership, the changes will not necessarily correspond to changes in our actual results. Additionally, operating results of hotels that we sell are excluded from the comparable hotel set once the transaction has closed or the hotel is classified as held-for-sale.

The hotel business is capital-intensive and renovations are a regular part of the business. Generally, hotels under renovation remain comparable hotels. A large-scale capital project would cause a hotel to be excluded from our comparable hotel set if it requires the entire property to be closed to hotel guests for one month or longer.

Similarly, hotels are excluded from our comparable hotel set from the date that they sustain substantial property damage or business interruption if it requires the property to be closed to hotel guests for one month or longer. In each case, these hotels are returned to the comparable hotel set when the operations of the hotel have been included in our consolidated results for one full calendar year after the hotel has reopened. Often, related to events that cause property damage and the closure of a hotel, we will collect business interruption insurance proceeds for the near-term loss of business. These proceeds are included in gain on insurance settlements on our consolidated statements of operations. Business interruption insurance gains related to a hotel that was excluded from our comparable hotel set also will be excluded from the comparable hotel results.

Of the 77 hotels that we owned as of December 31, 2023, 75 have been classified as comparable hotels. The operating results of the following properties that we owned as of December 31, 2023 are excluded from comparable hotel results for these periods:

• Hyatt Regency Coconut Point Resort & Spa (business disruption due to Hurricane Ian beginning in September 2022, reopened in November 2022);
• The Ritz-Carlton, Naples (business disruption due to Hurricane Ian beginning in September 2022, reopened in July 2023); and
• Sales and marketing expenses related to the development and sale of condominium units on a development parcel adjacent to Four Seasons Resort Orlando at Walt Disney World® Resort.
  

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION

Operating results denominated in foreign currencies are translated using the prevailing exchange rates on the date of the transaction, or monthly based on the weighted average exchange rate for the period. Therefore, hotel statistics and results for non-U.S. properties include the effect of currency fluctuations, consistent with our financial statement presentation.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

Included in this press release are certain “non-GAAP financial measures,” which are measures of our historical or future financial performance that are not calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, within the meaning of applicable SEC rules. They are as follows: (i) FFO and FFO per diluted share (both NAREIT and Adjusted), (ii) EBITDA, (iii) EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre, and (iv) Comparable Hotel Operating Statistics and Results. The following discussion defines these measures and presents why we believe they are useful supplemental measures of our performance.

NAREIT FFO AND NAREIT FFO PER D ILUTED S HARE

We present NAREIT FFO and NAREIT FFO per diluted share as non-GAAP measures of our performance in addition to our earnings per share (calculated in accordance with GAAP). We calculate NAREIT FFO per diluted share as our NAREIT FFO (defined as set forth below) for a given operating period, as adjusted for the effect of dilutive securities, divided by the number of fully diluted shares outstanding during such period, in accordance with NAREIT guidelines. As noted in NAREIT’s Funds From Operations White Paper – 2018 Restatement, NAREIT defines FFO as net income (calculated in accordance with GAAP) excluding depreciation and amortization related to certain real estate assets, gains and losses from the sale of certain real estate assets, gains and losses from change in control, impairment expense of certain real estate assets and investments and adjustments for consolidated partially-owned entities and unconsolidated affiliates. Adjustments for consolidated partially-owned entities and unconsolidated affiliates are calculated to reflect our pro rata share of the FFO of those entities on the same basis.

We believe that NAREIT FFO per diluted share is a useful supplemental measure of our operating performance and that the presentation of NAREIT FFO per diluted share, when combined with the primary GAAP presentation of diluted earnings per share, provides beneficial information to investors. By excluding the effect of real estate depreciation, amortization, impairment expense and gains and losses from sales of depreciable real estate, all of which are based on historical cost accounting and which may be of lesser significance in evaluating current performance, we believe that such measures can facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods and with other REITs, even though NAREIT FFO per diluted share does not represent an amount that accrues directly to holders of our common stock. Historical cost accounting for real estate assets implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. As noted by NAREIT in its Funds From Operations White Paper – 2018 Restatement, the primary purpose for including FFO as a supplemental measure of operating performance of a REIT is to address the artificial nature of historical cost depreciation and amortization of real estate and real estate-related assets mandated by GAAP. For these reasons, NAREIT adopted the FFO metric in order to promote a uniform industry-wide measure of REIT operating performance.

Adjusted FFO per Diluted Share

We also present Adjusted FFO per diluted share when evaluating our performance because management believes that the exclusion of certain additional items described below provides useful supplemental information to investors regarding our ongoing operating performance. Management historically has made the adjustments detailed below in evaluating our performance, in our annual budget process and for our compensation programs. We believe that the presentation of Adjusted FFO per diluted share, when combined with both the primary GAAP presentation of diluted earnings per share and FFO per diluted share as defined by NAREIT, provides useful supplemental information that is beneficial to an investor’s understanding of our operating performance. We adjust NAREIT FFO per diluted share for the following items, which may occur in any period, and refer to this measure as Adjusted FFO per diluted share:

• Gains and Losses on the Extinguishment of Debt – We exclude the effect of finance charges and premiums associated with the extinguishment of debt, including the acceleration of the write-off of deferred financing costs from the original issuance of the debt being redeemed or retired and incremental interest expense incurred during the refinancing period. We also exclude the gains on debt repurchases and the original issuance costs associated with the retirement of preferred stock. We believe that these items are not reflective of our ongoing finance costs.
• Acquisition Costs – Under GAAP, costs associated with completed property acquisitions that are considered business combinations are expensed in the year incurred. We exclude the effect of these costs because we believe they are not reflective of the ongoing performance of the Company.
• Litigation Gains and Losses – We exclude the effect of gains or losses associated with litigation recorded under GAAP that we consider to be outside the ordinary course of business. We believe that including these items is not consistent with our ongoing operating performance.
• Severance Expense –In certain circumstances, we will add back hotel-level severance expenses when we do not believe that such expenses are reflective of the ongoing operation of our properties. Situations that would result in a severance add-back include, but are not limited to, (i) costs incurred as part of a broad-based reconfiguration of the operating model with the specific hotel operator for a portfolio of hotels and (ii) costs incurred at a specific hotel due to a broad-based and significant reconfiguration of a hotel and/or its workforce. We do not add back corporate-level severance costs or severance costs at an individual hotel that we consider to be incurred in the normal course of business.

In unusual circumstances, we also may adjust NAREIT FFO for gains or losses that management believes are not representative of the Company’s current operating performance. For example, in 2017, as a result of the reduction of the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21% by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, we remeasured our domestic deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2017 and recorded a one-time adjustment to reduce our deferred tax assets and to increase the provision for income taxes by approximately $11 million. We do not consider this adjustment to be reflective of our ongoing operating performance and, therefore, we excluded this item from Adjusted FFO.

EBITDA

Earnings before Interest Expense, Income Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”) is a commonly used measure of performance in many industries. Management believes EBITDA provides useful information to investors regarding our results of operations because it helps us and our investors evaluate the ongoing operating performance of our properties after removing the impact of the Company’s capital structure (primarily interest expense) and its asset base (primarily depreciation and amortization). Management also believes the use of EBITDA facilitates comparisons between us and other lodging REITs, hotel owners that are not REITs and other capital-intensive companies. Management uses EBITDA to evaluate property-level results and as one measure in determining the value of acquisitions and dispositions and, like FFO and Adjusted FFO per diluted share, it is widely used by management in the annual budget process and for our compensation programs.

EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre

We present EBITDAre in accordance with NAREIT guidelines, as defined in its September 2017 white paper “Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization for Real Estate,” to provide an additional performance measure to facilitate the evaluation and comparison of the Company’s results with other REITs. NAREIT defines EBITDAre as net income (calculated in accordance with GAAP) excluding interest expense, income tax, depreciation and amortization, gains or losses on disposition of depreciated property (including gains or losses on change of control), impairment expense for depreciated property and of investments in unconsolidated affiliates caused by a decrease in value of depreciated property in the affiliate, and adjustments to reflect the entity’s pro rata share of EBITDAre of unconsolidated affiliates.

We make additional adjustments to EBITDAre when evaluating our performance because we believe that the exclusion of certain additional items described below provides useful supplemental information to investors regarding our ongoing operating performance. We believe that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDAre, when combined with the primary GAAP presentation of net income, is beneficial to an investor’s understanding of our operating performance. Adjusted EBITDAre also is similar to the measure used to calculate certain credit ratios for our credit facility and senior notes. We adjust EBITDAre for the following items, which may occur in any period, and refer to this measure as Adjusted EBITDAre:

• Property Insurance Gains – We exclude the effect of property insurance gains reflected in our consolidated statements of operations because we believe that including them in Adjusted EBITDAre is not consistent with reflecting the ongoing performance of our assets. In addition, property insurance gains could be less important to investors given that the depreciated asset book value written off in connection with the calculation of the property insurance gain often does not reflect the market value of real estate assets.
• Acquisition Costs – Under GAAP, costs associated with completed property acquisitions that are considered business combinations are expensed in the year incurred. We exclude the effect of these costs because we believe they are not reflective of the ongoing performance of the Company.
• Litigation Gains and Losses – We exclude the effect of gains or losses associated with litigation recorded under GAAP that we consider to be outside the ordinary course of business. We believe that including these items is not consistent with our ongoing operating performance.
• Severance Expense – In certain circumstances, we will add back hotel-level severance expenses when we do not believe that such expenses are reflective of the ongoing operation of our properties. Situations that would result in a severance add-back include, but are not limited to, (i) costs incurred as part of a broad-based reconfiguration of the operating model with the specific hotel operator for a portfolio of hotels and (ii) costs incurred at a specific hotel due to a broad-based and significant reconfiguration of a hotel and/or its workforce. We do not add back corporate-level severance costs or severance costs at an individual hotel that we consider to be incurred in the normal course of business.

In unusual circumstances, we also may adjust EBITDAre for gains or losses that management believes are not representative of the Company’s current operating performance. The last adjustment of this nature was a 2013 exclusion of a gain from an eminent domain claim.

Limitations on the Use of NAREIT FFO per Diluted Share, Adjusted FFO per Diluted Share, EBITDA, EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre

We calculate EBITDAre and NAREIT FFO per diluted share in accordance with standards established by NAREIT, which may not be comparable to measures calculated by other companies that do not use the NAREIT definition of EBITDAre and FFO or do not calculate FFO per diluted share in accordance with NAREIT guidance. In addition, although EBITDAre and FFO per diluted share are useful measures when comparing our results to other REITs, they may not be helpful to investors when comparing us to non-REITs. We also calculate Adjusted FFO per diluted share and Adjusted EBITDAre, which measures are not in accordance with NAREIT guidance and may not be comparable to measures calculated by other REITs or by other companies. This information should not be considered as an alternative to net income, operating profit, cash from operations or any other operating performance measure calculated in accordance with GAAP. Cash expenditures for various long-term assets (such as renewal and replacement capital expenditures), interest expense (for EBITDA, EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre purposes only), severance expense related to significant property-level reconfiguration and other items have been, and will be, made and are not reflected in the EBITDA, EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDAre, NAREIT FFO per diluted share and Adjusted FFO per diluted share presentations. Management compensates for these limitations by separately considering the impact of these excluded items to the extent they are material to operating decisions or assessments of our operating performance. Our consolidated statements of operations and consolidated statements of cash flows in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q include interest expense, capital expenditures, and other excluded items, all of which should be considered when evaluating our performance, as well as the usefulness of our non-GAAP financial measures. Additionally, NAREIT FFO per diluted share, Adjusted FFO per diluted share, EBITDA, EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre should not be considered as measures of our liquidity or indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to make cash distributions. In addition, NAREIT FFO per diluted share and Adjusted FFO per diluted share do not measure, and should not be used as measures of, amounts that accrue directly to stockholders’ benefit.

Similarly, EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDAre, NAREIT FFO and Adjusted FFO per diluted share include adjustments for the pro rata share of our equity investments, and NAREIT FFO and Adjusted FFO per diluted share include adjustments for the pro rata share of non-controlling partners in consolidated partnerships. Our equity investments consist of interests ranging from 11% to 67% in eight domestic and international partnerships that own a total of 35 properties and a vacation ownership development. Due to the voting rights of the outside owners, we do not control and, therefore, do not consolidate these entities. The non-controlling partners in consolidated partnerships primarily consist of the approximate 1% interest in Host LP held by unaffiliated limited partners and a 15% interest held by an unaffiliated limited partner in a partnership owning one hotel for which we do control the entity and, therefore, consolidate its operations. These pro rata results for NAREIT FFO and Adjusted FFO per diluted share, EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre were calculated as set forth in the definitions above. Readers should be cautioned that the pro rata results presented in these measures for consolidated partnerships (for NAREIT FFO and Adjusted FFO per diluted share) and equity investments may not accurately depict the legal and economic implications of our investments in these entities.

Comparable Hotel Property Level Operating Results

We present certain operating results for our hotels, such as hotel revenues, expenses, food and beverage profit, and EBITDA (and the related margins), on a comparable hotel, or "same store," basis as supplemental information for our investors. Our comparable hotel results present operating results for our hotels without giving effect to dispositions or properties that experienced closures due to renovations or property damage, as discussed in “Comparable Hotel Operating Statistics and Results” above. We present comparable hotel EBITDA to help us and our investors evaluate the ongoing operating performance of our comparable hotels after removing the impact of the Company’s capital structure (primarily interest expense) and its asset base (primarily depreciation and amortization expense). Corporate-level costs and expenses also are removed to arrive at property-level results. We believe these property-level results provide investors with supplemental information about the ongoing operating performance of our comparable hotels. Comparable hotel results are presented both by location and for the Company’s properties in the aggregate. We eliminate from our comparable hotel level operating results severance costs related to broad-based and significant property-level reconfiguration that is not considered to be within the normal course of business, as we believe this elimination provides useful supplemental information that is beneficial to an investor’s understanding of our ongoing operating performance. We also eliminate depreciation and amortization expense because, even though depreciation and amortization expense 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 predictably over time. As noted earlier, because real estate values historically have risen or fallen with market conditions, many real estate industry investors have considered presentation of historical cost accounting for operating results to be insufficient.

Because of the elimination of corporate-level costs and expenses, gains or losses on disposition, certain severance expenses and depreciation and amortization expense, the comparable hotel operating results we present do not represent our total revenues, expenses, operating profit or net income 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 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. While management believes that presentation of comparable hotel results is a supplemental measure that provides useful information in evaluating our ongoing performance, this measure is not used to allocate resources or to assess the operating performance of each of our hotels, as these decisions are based on data for individual hotels and are not based on comparable hotel results in the aggregate. For these reasons, we believe comparable hotel operating results, when combined with the presentation of GAAP operating profit, revenues and expenses, provide useful information to investors and management.
