"We are pleased with our results for the third quarter, which were highlighted by a 17 percent increase in diluted earnings per share and a 4.5% increase in our domestic RevPAR which continues to outpace the RevPAR performance of the industry," said Stephen P. Joyce, chief executive officer, Choice Hotels. "In addition, our efforts to rejuvenate the Comfort brand are working, including the implementation of higher standards for hotels joining the brand, requiring meaningful property improvement plans at contract windows and targeting underperforming Comforts for termination and replacement with new construction product. These efforts have resulted in 24 consecutive months of RevPAR index gains and are helping to fuel the growth of our new construction development pipeline."
Special Item
During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the company recorded an executive termination benefit charge of approximately $2.2 million. This special item impacted diluted EPS by $0.02 per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The company uses non-GAAP measures that exclude executive termination benefits because those non-GAAP measures allow for period-over-period comparison of on-going core operations before the impact of these charges. These non-GAAP measures, which are reconciled to the comparable GAAP measures in Exhibit 8, include adjusted net income, adjusted diluted EPS, adjusted hotel franchising selling, general and administrative expenses, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted hotel franchising margins.
Use of Cash Flows
Dividends
During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the company paid cash dividends totaling approximately $35 million. Based on the current quarterly dividend rate of $0.205 per common share, the company expects to pay dividends of approximately $46 million during 2016.
Share Repurchases
The company repurchased 0.6 million shares of common stock under its share repurchase program during the nine months ended September 30, 2016, at a total cost of approximately $29 million. The company currently has authorization to purchase up to 1.1 million additional shares under this program.
Hotel Development & Financing
Pursuant to its program to encourage acceleration of the growth of our upscale select-service Cambria hotels & suites brand, the company advanced approximately $78 million in support of the Cambria brand during the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The company also recycled approximately $25 million of investments in support of Cambria resulting in net advances of $53 million for the current year. These advances are primarily in the form of joint venture investments, forgivable key money loans, senior and mezzanine lending and site acquisitions. On September 30, 2016, the company had approximately $181 million reflected in its consolidated balance sheet pursuant to these financial support activities. With respect to lending and joint venture investments, the company generally expects to recycle these loans and investments within a five year period.
Outlook
The company's consolidated 2016 outlook reflects the following assumptions:
Hotel Franchising
-- Adjusted EBITDA from franchising activities for full-year 2016 are
expected to range between $272 million and $274 million;
-- Net domestic unit growth for 2016 is expected to be approximately 2%;
-- RevPAR is expected to increase between 4% and 5% for the fourth quarter
and range between 3.5% and 4.25% for full-year 2016; and
-- The effective royalty rate is expected to increase between 10 and 11
basis points for full-year 2016 as compared to full-year 2015.
Non-Hotel Franchising Activities
-- Net reductions in full-year 2016 EBITDA relating to our non-hotel
franchising operations, which primarily relate to SkyTouch and vacation
rental activities are expected to range between approximately $18
million and $19 million.
Other Items
-- The effective tax rate is expected to be approximately 33% for the
fourth quarter and approximately 31.5% for full-year 2016.
-- Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EPS estimates exclude executive termination
benefits incurred in the nine months ended September 30, 2016 as
discussed above under Special Item.
-- Diluted EPS estimates are based on the current number of shares
outstanding and thus do not factor in any changes that may occur due to
new equity grants or any further repurchases of common stock under the
company's share repurchase program.
Consolidated Outlook
The company's fourth quarter 2016 diluted EPS is expected to be at least $0.51. The company expects full-year 2016 adjusted diluted EPS to range between $2.43 and $2.46 and full year 2016 adjusted EBITDA to range between $253 million and $256 million.

Statement Concerning Non-GAAP Financial Measurements Presented in this Press Release
Adjusted EBITDA, franchising revenues, adjusted hotel franchising SG&A, Adjusted EBITDA from hotel franchising activities and adjusted hotel franchising margins are non-GAAP financial measurements. These measures should not be considered as an alternative to any measure of performance or liquidity as promulgated under or authorized by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"), such as net 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 items to the most comparable GAAP financial measures. We discuss management's reasons for reporting these non-GAAP measures below.
Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization: Adjusted EBITDA reflects net income excluding the impact of interest expense, interest income, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization, other (gains) and losses, equity in net income of unconsolidated affiliates and executive termination benefits. We consider adjusted EBITDA to be an indicator of operating performance because we use it to measure our ability to service debt, fund capital expenditures, and expand our business. We also use adjusted EBITDA, as do analysts, lenders, investors and others, to evaluate companies because it excludes certain items that can vary widely across different industries or among companies within the same industry. For example, interest expense can be dependent on a company's capital structure, debt levels and credit ratings. Accordingly, the impact of interest expense on earnings can vary significantly among companies. The tax positions of companies can also vary because of their differing abilities to take advantage of tax benefits and because of the tax policies of the jurisdictions in which they operate. As a result, effective tax rates and provision for income taxes can vary considerably among companies. Adjusted EBITDA also excludes depreciation and amortization because companies utilize productive assets of different ages and use different methods of both acquiring and depreciating productive assets. These differences can result in considerable variability in the relative costs of productive assets and the depreciation and amortization expense among companies.
Franchising Revenues, Adjusted Hotel Franchising EBITDA, Adjusted Hotel Franchising SG&A and Margins: The company reports franchising revenues, adjusted hotel franchising EBITDA, adjusted franchising hotel SG&A and margins which exclude marketing and reservation revenues; the SkyTouch Technology division; recently acquired operations that provide Software as a Service ("SaaS") technology solutions to vacation rental management companies; revenue generated from the ownership of an office building that is leased to a third-party and executive termination benefits. These non-GAAP measures are a commonly used measure of performance in our industry and facilitate comparisons between the company and its competitors. Marketing and reservation activities are excluded since the company is required by its franchise agreements to use the fees collected for marketing and reservation activities; as such, no income or loss to the company is generated. Cumulative marketing and reservation system fees not expended are recorded as a liability in the company's financial statements and are carried over to the next 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 deferred and recorded as an asset in the company's financial statements and recovered in future periods. SkyTouch Technology is a division of the company that develops and markets cloud-based technology products, including inventory management, pricing and connectivity to third party channels, to hoteliers not under franchise agreements with the company. The operations for SkyTouch Technology and our vacation rental technology solutions provider are excluded since they do not reflect the company's core franchising business but are adjacent, complementary lines of business.

* Year to date results for September 30, 2015 reflect the adoption of ASU No. 2016-09, which requires companies to recognize excess tax benefits related to the exercise of share based awards as operating activities in the statement of cash flows.
The company has elected to apply the ASU retrospectively and as a result excess tax benefits totaling $4.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 have been reclassified from cash flows from financing activities to cash flows from
operating activities.
