Mark Fioravanti, President and Chief Executive Officer of Ryman Hospitality Properties, said, “We are pleased with our financial results this quarter. Continued strong group demand produced record second-quarter revenue and ADR performance for our Gaylord Hotels portfolio. The demand for our live entertainment assets continued to grow as well, as our Entertainment segment delivered record quarterly revenue, operating income and Adjusted EBITDAre. We were especially pleased to see the continued momentum in our business given the industry-wide softening in domestic leisure travel.

In addition to these record results, we added to our healthy forward book of business as lead volumes, bookings and rate continued to grow. Given the strength we see in the group segment in the years ahead, we were pleased to announce our acquisition of the JW Marriott Hill Country. This beautiful resort complements our existing portfolio and provides an additional destination for our group and leisure customers. We are already hard at work exploring organic growth opportunities and synergies within our portfolio to better serve both group and leisure customers in the years ahead.”

Second Quarter 2023 Hospitality Segment Highlights

• Achieved second quarter record revenue of $417.7 million, driven by second quarter record ADR of almost $245, an increase of 4.4% from Q2 2022.

• Actualized room nights in the second quarter were strong, as 528,000 group room nights traveled, a 3.6% increase over Q2 2022.

• Q2 2023 Hotel occupancy was 72.7%, flat to the prior year quarter.

• As expected, Adjusted EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre margin were impacted by the continued return to normalized attrition and cancellation fees and management fees.

• Attrition and cancellation fee collections declined to $10.3 million, as compared to the $15.4 million collected in Q2 2022, and incentive management fees earned by Marriott increased to $7.0 million in the quarter, up from $3.0 million in Q2 2022.

• Room night production remained strong as ADR for new definite future bookings was an all-time record.

Quarter Events

Closed Acquisition of JW Marriott Hill Country Resort & Spa

On June 30, 2023, the Company closed the acquisition of the JW Marriott Hill Country in San Antonio, Texas from affiliates of Blackstone Real Estate Income Trust. Located amid approximately 600 acres in the Texas Hill Country, the JW Marriott Hill Country, which opened in 2010, is a premier group-oriented resort with 1,002 rooms and 268,000 total square feet of indoor and outdoor meeting and event space. The resort’s amenities include the 26,000-square-foot Lantana Spa; eight food and beverage outlets; the 9-acre River Bluff water experience; and TPC San Antonio featuring two 18-hole golf courses, the Greg Norman-designed Oaks Course and the Pete Dye-designed Canyons course. The property resides in an attractive and growing market with no emerging competitive supply, and naturally complements our existing Gaylord Hotels portfolio. We believe the property offers significant opportunities to serve the group and leisure sides of our business.

Closed Upsized Common Stock Offering and Full Exercise of Underwriters’ Over-Allotment Option

On June 9, 2023, the Company closed an upsized underwritten registered public offering of 4,427,500 shares of its common stock, par value $0.01 per share, at a price to the public of $93.25 per share (the “Equity Offering”). The shares sold in the Equity Offering included 577,500 shares sold through the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares of common stock, which were delivered at the time of the closing of the Equity Offering. The Company received aggregate net proceeds from the sale of the common stock of approximately $395 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other expenses of the Equity Offering payable by the Company.

Closed Offering of $400 Million of 7.250% Senior Notes Due 2028

On June 22, 2023, RHP Hotel Properties, LP (the “Operating Partnership”) and RHP Finance Corporation (together with the Operating Partnership, the “Issuers”), completed a private placement (the “Notes Offering”) of $400 million aggregate principal amount of 7.250% senior notes due 2028 (the “Notes”). The Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Issuers and are guaranteed by the Company and the Company’s and the Operating Partnership’s subsidiaries that guarantee the Operating Partnership’s existing credit facility, the 4.750% senior unsecured notes due 2027 and the 4.50% senior unsecured notes due 2029. The aggregate net proceeds from the Notes Offering were approximately $393 million, after deducting the initial purchasers’ discounts and commissions and other expenses of the Notes Offering payable by the Issuers. Net proceeds of the Equity Offering and the Notes Offering, together with cash on hand, were used to fund the purchase of the JW Marriott Hill Country.

Credit Facility Refinancing

On May 18, 2023, the Company successfully completed a series of refinancing transactions that extends the maturities of the $700 million revolving credit facility and $500 million term loan B and eliminates mortgage collateral requirements in its credit facility. The Company refinanced its existing $700 million revolving credit facility, extending its maturity from 2024 to 2027, with the option to extend the maturity date for a maximum of one additional year. The Company also refinanced its secured $500 million term loan B, which previously had an outstanding balance of $370 million, to a new $500 million term loan B, all of which was drawn at closing.

Additional Information
This release should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our most recent annual report on Form 10-K. Copies of our reports are available on our website at no expense at www.rymanhp.com and through the SEC’s Electronic Data Gathering Analysis and Retrieval System (“EDGAR”) at www.sec.gov.

Calculation of RevPAR and Total RevPAR
We calculate revenue per available room (“RevPAR”) for our hotels by dividing room revenue by room nights available to guests for the period. We calculate total revenue per available room (“Total RevPAR”) for our hotels by dividing the sum of room revenue, food & beverage, and other ancillary services revenue by room nights available to guests for the period. Hospitality metrics do not include the results of the W Austin, which is included in the Entertainment segment.

Calculation of GAAP Margin Figures
We calculate Net Income (Loss) available to common stockholders’ margin by dividing GAAP consolidated Net Income (Loss) available to common stockholders by GAAP consolidated Total Revenue. We calculate consolidated, segment or property-level Operating Income Margin by dividing consolidated, segment or property-level GAAP Operating Income (Loss) by consolidated, segment or property-level GAAP Revenue.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We present the following non-GAAP financial measures we believe are useful to investors as key measures of our operating performance:

EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre, Excluding Noncontrolling Interest in Consolidated Joint Venture Definition
We calculate EBITDAre, which is defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) in its September 2017 white paper as Net Income (calculated in accordance with GAAP) plus interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, gains or losses on the disposition of depreciated property (including gains or losses on change in control), impairment write-downs of depreciated property and of investments in unconsolidated affiliates caused by a decrease in the value of depreciated property in the affiliate, and adjustments to reflect the entity’s share of EBITDAre of unconsolidated affiliates.

Adjusted EBITDAre is then calculated as EBITDAre, plus to the extent the following adjustments occurred during the periods presented:

• preopening costs;

• non-cash lease expense;

• equity-based compensation expense;

• impairment charges that do not meet the NAREIT definition above;

• credit losses on held-to-maturity securities;

• transaction costs of acquisitions;

• interest income on bonds;

• loss on extinguishment of debt;

• pension settlement charges;

• pro rata Adjusted EBITDAre from unconsolidated joint ventures; and

• any other adjustments we have identified herein.
  

We then exclude the pro rata share of Adjusted EBITDAre related to noncontrolling interests in consolidated joint ventures to calculate Adjusted EBITDAre, Excluding Noncontrolling Interest in Consolidated Joint Venture.

We use EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre, Excluding Noncontrolling Interest in Consolidated Joint Venture and segment or property-level EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre to evaluate our operating performance. We believe that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information to investors regarding our operating performance and debt leverage metrics, and that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures, when combined with the primary GAAP presentation of Net Income or Operating Income, as applicable, is beneficial to an investor’s complete understanding of our operating performance. We make additional adjustments to EBITDAre when evaluating our performance because we believe that presenting Adjusted EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre, Excluding Noncontrolling Interest in Consolidated Joint Venture provides useful information to investors regarding our operating performance and debt leverage metrics.

Adjusted EBITDAre Margin and Adjusted EBITDAre, Excluding Noncontrolling Interest in Consolidated Joint Venture Margin Definition
We calculate consolidated Adjusted EBITDAre, Excluding Noncontrolling Interest in Consolidated Joint Venture Margin by dividing consolidated Adjusted EBITDAre, Excluding Noncontrolling Interest in Consolidated Joint Venture by GAAP consolidated Total Revenue. We calculate consolidated, segment or property-level Adjusted EBITDAre Margin by dividing consolidated, segment-, or property-level Adjusted EBITDAre by consolidated, segment-, or property-level GAAP Revenue. We believe Adjusted EBITDAre, Excluding Noncontrolling Interest in Consolidated Joint Venture Margin is useful to investors in evaluating our operating performance because this non-GAAP financial measure helps investors evaluate and compare the results of our operations from period to period by presenting a ratio showing the quantitative relationship between Adjusted EBITDAre, Excluding Noncontrolling Interest in Consolidated Joint Venture and GAAP consolidated Total Revenue or segment or property-level GAAP Revenue, as applicable.

FFO, Adjusted FFO, and Adjusted FFO available to common stockholders and unit holders Definition
We calculate FFO, which definition is clarified by NAREIT in its December 2018 white paper as Net Income (calculated in accordance with GAAP) excluding depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs and debt discounts), gains and losses from the sale of certain real estate assets, gains and losses from a change in control, impairment write-downs of certain real estate assets and investments in entities when the impairment is directly attributable to decreases in the value of depreciated real estate held by the entity, income (loss) from consolidated joint ventures attributable to noncontrolling interest, and pro rata adjustments for unconsolidated joint ventures.
To calculate Adjusted FFO available to common stockholders and unit holders, we then exclude, to the extent the following adjustments occurred during the periods presented:

• right-of-use asset amortization;

• impairment charges that do not meet the NAREIT definition above;

• write-offs of deferred financing costs;

• amortization of debt discounts or premiums and amortization of deferred financing costs;

• loss on extinguishment of debt

• non-cash lease expense;

• credit loss on held-to-maturity securities;

• pension settlement charges;

• additional pro rata adjustments from unconsolidated joint ventures;

• (gains) losses on other assets;

• transaction costs on acquisitions;

• deferred income tax expense (benefit); and

• any other adjustments we have identified herein.
  

To calculate Adjusted FFO available to common stockholders and unit holders (excluding maintenance capex), we then exclude FF&E reserve contributions for managed properties and maintenance capital expenditures for non-managed properties. FFO available to common stockholders and unit holders, Adjusted FFO available to common stockholders and unit holders and Adjusted FFO available to common stockholders and unit holders (excluding maintenance capex) exclude the ownership portion of joint ventures not controlled or owned by the Company.
We believe that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information to investors regarding the performance of our ongoing operations because each presents a measure of our operations without regard to specified non-cash items such as real estate depreciation and amortization, gain or loss on sale of assets and certain other items, which we believe are not indicative of the performance of our underlying hotel properties. We believe that these items are more representative of our asset base than our ongoing operations. We also use these non-GAAP financial measures as measures in determining our results after considering the impact of our capital structure.
We caution investors that non-GAAP financial measures we present may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by other companies, because not all companies calculate these non-GAAP measures in the same manner. The non-GAAP financial measures we present, and any related per share measures, should not be considered as alternative measures of our Net Income (Loss), operating performance, cash flow or liquidity. These non-GAAP financial measures may include funds that may not be available for our discretionary use due to functional requirements to conserve funds for capital expenditures and property acquisitions and other commitments and uncertainties. Although we believe that these non-GAAP financial measures can enhance an investor’s understanding of our results of operations, these non-GAAP financial measures, when viewed individually, are not necessarily better indicators of any trend as compared to GAAP measures such as Net Income (Loss), Operating Income (Loss), or cash flow from operations.
