ROCKVILLE, Md., Aug. 6, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Choice Hotels International, Inc. (NYSE: CHH), one of the world's largest lodging franchisors, today reported its results for the three months ended June 30, 2019. Highlights include:
Additionally, during the second quarter of 2019, the company:
"We're pleased to report another quarter of excellent financial performance and a positive outlook for the remainder of the year," said Patrick Pacious, president and chief executive officer, Choice Hotels. "We're especially pleased that the transformation of our flagship Comfort brand is progressing on schedule and paying off: renovated hotels are outperforming the segment and capturing more business travel while developer demand remains strong. Additionally, our strategic investment in the upscale Cambria brand is propelling its rapid growth across the country—this summer alone, seven Cambria hotels are expected to open their doors in top-tier markets, which, together, represent more than 1,200 upscale rooms that will join our upscale portfolio."
Additional details from the company's 2019 second quarter results are as follows:
Revenues
Development
Use of Cash Flows
Dividends
During the six months ended June 30, 2019, the company paid cash dividends totaling approximately $24 million. Based on the current quarterly dividend rate of $0.215 per share of common stock, the company expects to pay dividends totaling approximately $48 million during 2019.
Stock Repurchases
During the six months ended June 30, 2019, the company repurchased approximately 0.5 million shares of common stock for approximately $42 million under its stock repurchase program, as well as through repurchases from employees in connection with tax withholding and option exercises relating to awards under the company's equity incentive plans. At June 30, 2019, the company had authorization to purchase up to 1.7 million additional shares of common stock under its share repurchase program.
Hotel Development & Financing
The company has allocated up to $725 million to its program that encourages growth of the upscale Cambria Hotels brand. Investments under this program may include joint-venture investments, forgivable key-money loans, senior mortgage loans, development loans and mezzanine lending, as well as hotel ownership and the operation of a land-banking program. With respect to lending, hotel ownership and joint-venture investments, the company generally expects to recycle these investments within a five-year period. As of June 30, 2019, the company had approximately $393 million reflected on its consolidated balance sheet pursuant to these financial support activities.
In late July 2019, the company redeemed a third party's remaining equity stake in a joint venture that held four key Cambria hotels, increasing the outstanding investment under the current Cambria program to approximately $553 million. The redemption of the remaining joint venture interest in these strategically important hotels reflects the company's continued investment in accelerating the brand's development. These hotels not only provide a strategic benefit to the brand but are also expected to generate financial returns for the company's shareholders. The company does not anticipate owning these hotels on a permanent basis and will consider a sale to a franchisee in the future.
Loss on Sale and Impairment of Assets
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, the company recognized a loss on sale and asset impairments totaling $4.6 million and $14.9 million, respectively, related to its reporting unit that provided software as a service ("SaaS") technology solutions to vacation rental management companies primarily in Europe. The company purchased the reporting unit in 2015 to support its vacation rentals initiative but determined that the technology and services were no longer required to support the company's growth plans. As a result, the company reached an agreement to divest the reporting unit and completed the sale of the business during the second quarter of 2019.
Outlook
The adjusted numbers in the company's outlook below exclude the net surplus or deficit generated from the company's marketing and reservation system activities, the gain (loss) on sale and impairment of assets as well as other items. See Exhibit 7 for the calculation of adjusted forecasted results and the reconciliation to the comparable GAAP measures.
The company's outlook does not reflect the third quarter 2019 redemption of a third party's remaining equity stake in a joint venture that held four strategically located Cambria hotels. The company currently estimates that the redemption and financial reporting consolidation will generate incremental EBITDA of approximately $3 to $5 million for the remainder of the year. The company is currently completing its purchase price accounting and expects to report the impact of the transaction on net income and EPS in its third quarter earnings release.

Non-GAAP Financial Measurements
The company evaluates its operations utilizing the performance metrics of adjusted EBITDA, revenues excluding marketing and reservation system activities, adjusted SG&A, adjusted hotel margins excluding marketing and reservation system activities, adjusted net income, and adjusted EPS, which are all non-GAAP financial measurements. These measures, which are reconciled to the comparable GAAP measures in Exhibit 6, should not be considered as an alternative to any measure of performance or liquidity as promulgated under or authorized by GAAP, such as net income, EPS, total revenues, and operating margins. The company's calculation of these measurements may be different from the calculations used by other companies and comparability may therefore be limited.
We discuss management's reasons for reporting these non-GAAP measures and how each non-GAAP measure is calculated below.
In addition to the specific adjustments noted below with respect to each measure, the non-GAAP measures presented herein also exclude acquisition-related transition and transaction costs and the loss on sale and impairment of assets primarily related to the company's operations that provide Software as a Service ("SaaS") technology solutions to vacation-rental management companies to allow for period-over-period comparison of ongoing core operations before the impact of these discrete and infrequent charges.
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, franchise-agreement acquisition cost amortization, other (gains) and losses, equity in net income (loss) of unconsolidated affiliates, mark-to-market adjustments on non-qualified retirement plan investments, and surplus or deficits generated by marketing and reservation-system activities. We consider adjusted EBITDA to be an indicator of operating performance because it measures 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 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 or amortizing franchise-agreement acquisition costs. These differences can result in considerable variability in the relative asset costs and estimated lives and, therefore, the depreciation and amortization expense among companies. Mark-to-market adjustments on non-qualified retirement-plan investments recorded in SG&A are excluded from EBITDA, as the company accounts for these investments in accordance with accounting for deferred-compensation arrangements when investments are held in a rabbi trust and invested. Changes in the fair value of the investments are recognized as both compensation expense in SG&A and other gains and losses. As a result, the changes in the fair value of the investments do not have a material impact on the company's net income. Surpluses and deficits generated from marketing and reservation activities are excluded, as the company's franchise agreements require the marketing and reservation-system revenues to be used exclusively for expenses associated with providing franchise services, such as central reservation and property-management systems, reservation delivery, and national marketing and media advertising. Franchisees are required to reimburse the company for any deficits generated from these marketing and reservation-system activities and the company is required to spend any surpluses generated in future periods. Since these activities will be managed to break-even over time, quarterly or annual surpluses and deficits have been excluded from the measurements utilized to assess the company's operating performance.
Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings Per Share: Adjusted net income and EPS exclude the impact of surpluses or deficits generated from marketing and reservation-system activities. Surpluses and deficits generated from marketing and reservation activities are excluded, as the company's franchise agreements require the marketing and reservation system revenues to be used exclusively for expenses associated with providing franchise services, such as central reservation and property-management systems, reservation delivery, and national marketing and media advertising. Franchisees are required to reimburse the company for any deficits generated from these marketing and reservation-system activities and the company is required to spend any surpluses generated in future periods. Since these activities will be managed to break-even over time, quarterly or annual surpluses and deficits have been excluded from the measurements utilized to assess the company's operating performance. We consider adjusted net income and adjusted EPS to be indicators of operating performance because excluding these items allow for period-over-period comparisons of our ongoing operations.
Revenues and Adjusted Operating Margins, Excluding Marketing and Reservation System Activities: The company reports revenues and adjusted operating margins, excluding marketing and reservation-system activities. Previously, the company reported certain non-GAAP measures that excluded the marketing and reservation-system activities, as well as revenues derived from other, non-hotel franchising aspects of the company's operations. The company is no longer excluding the other non-hotel franchising revenues from these measures because their impact is insignificant on the company's overall results. These non-GAAP measures we present are commonly used measures of performance in our industry and facilitate comparisons between the company and its competitors. Marketing and reservation-system activities are excluded, as the company's franchise agreements require the marketing and reservation-system revenues to be used exclusively for expenses associated with providing franchise services, such as central reservation and property-management systems, reservation delivery, and national marketing and media advertising. Franchisees are required to reimburse the company for any deficits generated from these marketing and reservation-system activities and the company is required to spend any surpluses generated in future periods. Since these activities will be managed to break-even over time, quarterly or annual surpluses and deficits have been excluded from the measurements utilized to assess the company's operating performance.
