million compared to $44.6 million for the same period of 2008.
-- Adjusted selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") costs for the
second quarter of 2009 totaled $25.2 million which represented a 10%
decline from the same period of the prior year. Adjusted SG&A costs
exclude special items totaling $1.9 million and $6.4 million for the

hotels representing 64,384 rooms; the worldwide pipeline declined 15%
from June 30, 2008 to 937 hotels representing 73,121 rooms.
"Despite the extremely challenging industry-wide RevPAR environment and significant decline in domestic hotel transactions across the industry, the appeal of our brands, strong marketing and guest distribution platform, as well as our franchise sales expertise once again enabled us to achieve significant domestic unit and room growth." said Stephen P. Joyce, president and chief executive officer. "In this environment, our value-oriented brands position us well to serve travelers looking for ways to stretch their travel budgets. Additionally, on account of our conversion brands, we are particularly well positioned in this environment to increase our market share as the lodging cycle progresses. We also remain focused on returning value to our shareholders, and during the first half of 2009 we returned $57.2 million to shareholders through a combination of share repurchases and dividends."
Special Items
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. In addition, during the three months ended June 30, 2009, the company 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.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, the company recorded employee termination benefits of approximately $0.3 million and $0.4 million, respectively. Furthermore, the company incurred $6.1 million of benefit costs during the three months ended June 30, 2008 resulting from the acceleration of the company's management succession plan. These special items represented diluted EPS of $0.06 for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2008.
Outlook for 2009
The uncertainty around the current economic environment and credit market conditions and their impact on travel patterns and hotel development activities makes it difficult to predict future results, particularly as they relate to underlying assumptions for RevPAR, new hotel franchise and relicensing sales and interest and investment income and expense.
The company's third quarter 2009 adjusted diluted EPS is expected to be $0.51. The company expects full-year of 2009 adjusted diluted EPS of $1.66. Adjusted EBITDA for the full-year of 2009 are expected to be approximately $169 million. These estimates include the following assumptions:
-- The company expects net domestic unit growth of approximately 3.25% in
2009;
-- RevPAR is expected to decline approximately 15% for the third quarter
of 2009 and decline approximately 13% for the full-year of 2009;
-- The effective royalty rate is expected to increase 5 basis points for
the full-year of 2009;
-- All figures assume the existing share count and an effective tax rate
of 36.5% for the third quarter and full-year of 2009;
-- Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted diluted EPS for third quarter 2009
exclude $1.3 million ($0.8 million after tax and approximately $0.01
diluted EPS) of operating expenses related to employee termination
benefits.
-- Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted diluted EPS for full year 2009 exclude
$3.6 million ($2.2 million after tax and approximately $0.04 diluted
EPS) of operating expenses related to employee termination benefits
and a loss on the sublease of office space.
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, 2009 the company paid $22.3 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.
For the three months ended June 30, 2009, the company purchased approximately 0.6 million shares of its common stock at an average price of $26.42 for a total cost of $16.8 million under the share repurchase program. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, the company purchased approximately 1.3 million shares of its common stock at an average price of $26.63 for a total cost of $34.9 million. Subsequent to June 30, 2009 and through July 29, 2009, the Company repurchased an additional 0.4 million shares at a total cost of $10.0 million at an average price of $26.24 and has authorization to purchase up to an additional 4.3 million shares under this program. 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 42.5 million shares of its common stock for a total cost of $995.4 million through July 29, 2009. Considering the effect of a two-for-one stock split in October 2005, the company has repurchased 75.5 million shares under the share repurchase program at an average price of $13.19 per share.
Our Board has authorized us to enter into programs which permit us to offer financing, investment and guaranty support to qualified franchisees to incent multi-unit franchise development in top markets. We expect to opportunistically deploy this capital over the next several years. Our annual investment in these programs is dependent on market and other conditions. 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.
Impact of the Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements on Earnings Per Share
In June 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued FASB Staff Position Emerging Issues Task Force No. 03-6-1, "Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities" ("FSP EITF 03-6-1"). FSP EITF 03-6-1 clarified that all share-based payment awards that contain rights to non-forfeitable dividends participate in undistributed earnings with common shareholders. Therefore, awards of this nature are considered participating securities and the two-class method of computing basic and diluted earnings per share must be applied rather than the treasury stock method. FSP EITF 03-6-1 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. In addition, once effective, all prior period earnings per share data presented must be adjusted retrospectively to conform to the provisions of FSP EITF 03-6-1.
The Company's outstanding unvested restricted stock awards contain rights to non-forfeitable dividends and as a result, the Company applied this guidance in the first quarter of 2009. The two-class method of calculating earnings per share is more dilutive to both basic and diluted shares outstanding than the previously utilized treasury stock method. In accordance with FSP EITF 03-6-1, the Company has retrospectively adjusted its basic and diluted shares outstanding for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 under the two-class method which resulted in a reduction of the Company's basic and diluted earnings per share for the six months ended June 30, 2008 from $0.74 to $0.73 and $0.73 to $0.72 per share, respectively.

Forward-Looking Statements
Certain matters discussed in this press release constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities law. Generally, our use of words such as "expect," "estimate," "believe," "anticipate," "will," "forecast," "plan," project," "assume" or similar words of futurity identify statements that are forward-looking and that we intend to be included within the Safe Harbor protections provided by Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Such forward-looking statements are based on management's current beliefs, assumptions and expectations regarding future events, which in turn are based on information currently available to management. Such statements may relate to projections of the company's revenue, earnings and other financial and operational measures, company debt levels, payment of stock dividends, and future operations, among other matters. We caution you not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements do not guarantee future performance and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors.
Several factors could cause actual results, performance or achievements of the company to differ materially from those expressed in or contemplated by the forward-looking statements. Such risks include, but are not limited to, changes to general, domestic and foreign economic conditions; operating risks common in the lodging and franchising industries; changes to the desirability of our brands as viewed by hotel operators and customers; changes to the terms or termination of our contracts with franchisees; our ability to keep pace with improvements in technology utilized for reservations systems and other operating systems; fluctuations in the supply and demand for hotels rooms; and our ability to manage effectively our indebtedness. These and other risk factors are discussed in detail in the Risk Factors section of the company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 2, 2009. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
Statement Concerning Non-GAAP Financial Measurements
Adjusted diluted EPS, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted SG&A, franchising revenues and adjusted franchising margins are non-GAAP financial measurements. This information should not be considered as an alternative to any measure of performance as promulgated under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP), such as diluted earnings per share, operating income, total revenues and operating margins. The company's calculation of these measurements may be different from the calculations used by other companies and therefore comparability may be limited. The company has included an exhibit accompanying this release that reconciles these measures to the comparable GAAP measurement. We discuss management's reasons for reporting these non-GAAP measures below.
Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization: EBITDA reflects earnings excluding the impact of interest expense, tax expense, depreciation and amortization. Our management considers EBITDA to be an indicator of operating performance because it can be used to measure our ability to service debt, fund capital expenditures, and expand our business. EBITDA is a commonly used measure of performance in our industry. In addition, it is used by analysts, lenders, investors and others, as well as by us, to facilitate comparisons between the Company and its competitors because it excludes certain items that can vary widely across different industries or among companies within the same industry.
Franchising Revenues and Margins: The Company reports franchising revenues and margins which exclude marketing and reservation revenues and hotel operations. Marketing and reservation activities are excluded from revenues and operating margins since the Company is contractually required by its franchise agreements to use these fees collected for marketing and reservation activities. Cumulative reservation and marketing fees not expended are recorded as a payable on the Company's financial statements and are carried over to the next fiscal year and expended in accordance with the franchise agreements. Cumulative marketing and reservation expenditures in excess of fees collected for marketing and reservation activities are recorded as a receivable on the Company's financial statements. In addition, the Company has the contractual authority to require that the franchisees in the system at any given point repay the Company for any deficits related to marketing and reservation activities. Hotel operations are excluded since they do not reflect the most accurate measure of the Company's core franchising business. These non-GAAP measures are a commonly used measure of performance in our industry and facilitate comparisons between the Company and its competitors.
Adjusted Diluted EPS, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted SG&A and Adjusted Franchising Margins: The Company's management also uses adjusted diluted EPS, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted SG&A and adjusted franchising margins which exclude employee termination benefits and a loss on the sublease of a portion of the Company's office space for 2009 and the impact of the acceleration of the Company's management succession plan and employee termination benefits for the periods ended June 30, 2008. The Company utilizes these non-GAAP measures to enable investors to perform meaningful comparisons of past, present and future operating results and as a means to emphasize the results of on-going operations.
