Our TA properties generated improved performance for the second quarter of 2018. Total gross margin was up $9.7 million, or 3.1%, versus the same period last year and our travel centers' rent coverage improved to 1.69 times."

  • Recent Property Acquisition Activities: In June 2018, HPT acquired the 360 room Radisson Blu® hotel located in Minneapolis, MN for a purchase price of $75.0 million, excluding acquisition related costs. HPT added this hotel to its management agreement with Radisson Hospitality, Inc., or Radisson.

  • Financing Activities: In May 2018, HPT amended and restated the agreement governing its $1.0 billion unsecured revolving credit facility and $400.0 million unsecured term loan. As a result of the amendment, the interest rate payable on borrowings under HPT's revolving credit facility was reduced from a rate of LIBOR plus a premium of 110 basis points per annum to a rate of LIBOR plus a premium of 100 basis points per annum and the facility fee remained unchanged at 20 basis points per annum on the total amount of lending commitments under this facility. Both the interest rate premium and facility fee are subject to change based upon changes to our credit ratings. Also as a result of the amendment, the interest rate payable on borrowings under HPT's term loan was reduced from a rate of LIBOR plus a premium of 120 basis points per annum to a rate of LIBOR plus a premium of 110 basis points per annum, subject to adjustment based on changes to our credit ratings. In addition, as a result of the amendment, the stated maturity date of HPT's revolving credit facility was extended from July 15, 2018 to July 15, 2022 and the stated maturity date of HPT's term loan was extended from April 15, 2019 to July 15, 2023. Subject to the payment of an extension fee and meeting certain other conditions, HPT also has an option to further extend the stated maturity date of its revolving credit facility by two additional six month periods.

Tenants and Managers: As of June 30, 2018, HPT had eight operating agreements with six hotel operating companies for 325 hotels with 50,379 rooms, which represented 67% of HPT's total annual minimum returns and rents, and five lease agreements with one travel center operating company for 199 travel centers, which represented 33% of HPT's total annual minimum returns and rents.

  • Marriott Agreements: As of June 30, 2018, 122 of HPT's hotels were operated by subsidiaries of Marriott International, Inc. (Nasdaq: MAR), or Marriott, under three agreements. HPT's Marriott No. 1 agreement includes 53 hotels, and provides for annual minimum return payments to HPT of $69.3 million as of June 30, 2018 (approximately $17.3 million per quarter). During the three months ended June 30, 2018, HPT realized returns under its Marriott No. 1 agreement of $21.1 million, of which $2.5 million represents HPT's share of hotel cash flows in excess of the minimum returns due to HPT for the period. Because there is no guarantee or security deposit for this agreement, the minimum returns HPT receives under this agreement are limited to available hotel cash flows after payment of operating expenses and funding of a FF&E reserve. HPT's Marriott No. 234 agreement includes 68 hotels and requires annual minimum returns to HPT of $106.9 million as of June 30, 2018 (approximately $26.7 million per quarter). During the three months ended June 30, 2018, HPT realized returns under its Marriott No. 234 agreement of $26.7 million. HPT's Marriott No. 234 agreement is partially secured by a security deposit and a limited guarantee from Marriott; during the three months ended June 30, 2018, the available security deposit was replenished by $5.8 million from a share of hotel cash flows in excess of the minimum returns due to HPT during the period. At June 30, 2018, the available security deposit from Marriott for the Marriott No. 234 agreement was $31.0 million and there was $30.7 million available under Marriott's guaranty for up to 90% of the minimum returns due to HPT to cover future payment shortfalls if and after the available security deposit is depleted. HPT's Marriott No. 5 agreement includes one resort hotel in Kauai, HI which is leased to Marriott on a full recourse basis. The contractual rent due to HPT for this hotel for the three months ended June 30, 2018 of $2.6 million was paid to HPT.
  • InterContinental Agreement: As of June 30, 2018, 100 of HPT's hotels were operated by subsidiaries of InterContinental under one agreement requiring annual minimum returns and rents to HPT of $190.5 million as of June 30, 2018 (approximately $47.6 million per quarter). During the three months ended June 30, 2018, HPT realized returns and rents under its InterContinental agreement of $49.1 million, of which $1.7 million represents HPT's share of hotel cash flows in excess of the minimum returns due to HPT for the period. HPT's InterContinental agreement is partially secured by a security deposit. During the three months ended June 30, 2018, the available security deposit was replenished by $5.9 million from a share of hotel cash flows in excess of the minimum returns due to HPT for the period. At June 30, 2018, the available InterContinental security deposit which HPT held to pay future payment shortfalls was at the contractually capped amount of $100.0 million.
  • Sonesta Agreement: As of June 30, 2018, 50 of HPT's hotels were operated under a management agreement with Sonesta International Hotels Corporation, or Sonesta, requiring annual minimum returns of $121.5 million as of June 30, 2018 (approximately $30.4 million per quarter). During the three months ended June 30, 2018, HPT realized returns under its Sonesta agreement of $27.9 million. Because there is no guarantee or security deposit for this agreement, the minimum returns HPT receives under this agreement are limited to available hotel cash flows after payment of operating expenses including management and related fees.
  • Morgans Agreement: On May 8, 2018, pursuant to a settlement agreement with Morgans Hotel Group Co., or Morgans, HPT's lease with Morgans for one hotel was terminated and Morgans surrendered possession of that hotel to HPT. The contractual rent due to HPT under the Morgans lease through May 8, 2018 was paid to HPT. HPT rebranded this hotel to the Royal Sonesta® brand and added it to its management agreement with Sonesta.
  • Wyndham Agreement: As of June 30, 2018, 22 of HPT's hotels were operated under a management agreement with a subsidiary of Wyndham Hotels & Resorts, Inc. (NYSE: WH), or Wyndham, requiring annual minimum returns of $27.6 million as of June 30, 2018 (approximately $6.9 million per quarter). HPT also leases 48 vacation units in one of the hotels to a subsidiary of Wyndham Destinations, Inc. (NYSE: WYND), or Destinations, which requires annual minimum rent of $1.4 million (approximately $0.4 million per quarter). The guarantee provided by Destinations with respect to the lease is unlimited. The guarantee provided by Wyndham with respect to the management agreement was limited to $35.7 million and was depleted during 2017. HPT's agreement with the Wyndham subsidiary provides that if the hotels' cash flows available after payment of hotel operating expenses are less than the minimum returns due to HPT and if the guaranty is depleted, to avoid default Wyndham is required to pay HPT the greater of the available hotel cash flows after payment of hotel operating expenses and 85% of the contractual minimum amount due. During the three months ended June 30, 2018, HPT realized returns under its Wyndham agreement of $5.9 million, which represents 85% of the minimum returns due for the period. The contractual rent due to HPT under the lease for Destinations' 48 vacation units during the three months ended June 30, 2018 was paid to HPT.
  • Hyatt Agreement: As of June 30, 2018, 22 of HPT's hotels were operated under a management agreement with a subsidiary of Hyatt Hotels Corporation (NYSE: H), or Hyatt, requiring annual minimum returns of $22.0 million as of June 30, 2018 (approximately $5.5 million per quarter). During the three months ended June 30, 2018, HPT realized returns under its Hyatt agreement of $5.5 million. HPT's Hyatt agreement is partially secured by a limited guaranty from Hyatt. During the three months ended June 30, 2018, the available guaranty was replenished by $2.4 million from a share of hotel cash flows in excess of the minimum returns due to HPT during the period. At June 30, 2018, there was $23.8 million available under Hyatt's guaranty.
  • Radisson Agreement: As of June 30, 2018, nine of HPT's hotels were operated under a management agreement with a subsidiary of Radisson requiring annual minimum returns of $18.9 million as of June 30, 2018 (approximately $4.7 million per quarter). During the three months ended June 30, 2018, HPT realized returns under its Radisson agreement of $3.5 million. The $3.5 million of returns realized by HPT during the three months ended June 30, 2018 equals the total amount due from Radisson during the period. The required annual minimum returns increased by $6.0 million as of June 30, 2018 as a result of HPT's acquisition of the Radisson Blu Hotel in Minneapolis, MN in June 2018. HPT's Radisson agreement is partially secured by a limited guaranty from Radisson. During the three months ended June 30, 2018, the available guaranty was replenished by $1.7 million from a share of hotel cash flows in excess of the minimum returns due to HPT during the period. In connection with HPT's acquisition of the Radisson Blu hotel described above, the available balance of the guaranty under HPT's Radisson agreement was increased by $6.0 million and the guaranty cap was increased to $46.0 million.

(1)   At June 30, 2018, HPT owned 325 hotels; 323 of these hotels were managed by hotel operating companies and two hotels were leased to hotel operating companies. At June 30, 2018, HPT also owned 199 travel centers; all 199 of these travel centers were leased to a travel center operating company under five lease agreements. HPT's condensed consolidated statements of income include hotel operating revenues and expenses of managed hotels and rental income from its leased hotels and travel centers. Certain of HPT's managed hotels had net operating results that were, in the aggregate, $1,434 less than the minimum returns due to HPT for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and $22,113 and $14,299 less than the minimum returns due to HPT for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The net operating results of HPT's managed hotel portfolios exceeded, in the aggregate, the minimum returns due to HPT for the three months ended June 30, 2017. When managers of these hotels are required to fund the shortfalls under the terms of HPT's management agreements or their guarantees, HPT reflects such fundings (including security deposit applications) in its condensed consolidated statements of income as a reduction of hotel operating expenses. There was no reduction to hotel operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2018 or 2017 and there were reductions of $3,278 and $3,716 for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. When HPT reduces the amounts of the security deposit it holds for any of its operating agreements for payment deficiencies, it does not result in additional cash flows to HPT of the deficiency amounts, but reduces the refunds due to the respective tenants or managers who have provided HPT with these deposits upon expiration of the respective operating agreement. The security deposits are non-interest bearing and are not held in escrow. HPT had shortfalls at certain of its managed hotel portfolios not funded by the managers of these hotels under the terms of its management agreements of $2,284 and $18,835 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively, which represent the unguaranteed portions of HPT's minimum returns from Sonesta and Wyndham. HPT had shortfalls at certain of its managed hotel portfolios not funded by the managers of these hotels under the terms of its management agreements of $10,583 for the six months ended June 30, 2017, which represents the unguaranteed portion of HPT's minimum returns from Sonesta. There were no shortfalls for the three months ended June 30, 2017. Certain of HPT's managed hotel portfolios had net operating results that were, in the aggregate, $32,512 and $36,559 more than the minimum returns due to HPT for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and $26,879 and $36,724 more than the minimum returns due to HPT for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Certain of HPT's guarantees and its security deposits may be replenished by a share of future cash flows from the applicable hotel operations in excess of the minimum returns due to HPT pursuant to the terms of the respective agreements. When HPT's guarantees and security deposits are replenished by cash flows from hotel operations, HPT reflects such replenishments in its condensed consolidated statements of income as an increase to hotel operating expenses. HPT had $16,593 and $14,682 of guarantee and security deposit replenishments for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and $10,295 and $13,240 of guarantee and security deposit replenishments for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
 
(2) Rental income includes $3,144 and $3,113 in the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and $6,223 and $6,121 in the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, of adjustments necessary to record scheduled rent increases under certain of HPT's leases, the deferred rent obligations under HPT's travel center leases and the estimated future payments to HPT under its travel center leases for the cost of removing underground storage tanks on a straight line basis.
 
(3) Various percentages of total sales at certain of HPT's hotels are escrowed as reserves for future renovations or refurbishment, or FF&E reserve escrows. HPT owns all the FF&E reserve escrows for its hotels. HPT reports deposits by its tenants into the escrow accounts under its hotel leases as FF&E reserve income. HPT does not report the amounts which are escrowed as FF&E reserves for its managed hotels as FF&E reserve income.
 
(4) Incentive fees under HPT's business management agreement with The RMR Group LLC are payable after the end of each calendar year, are calculated based on common share total return, as defined, and are included in general and administrative expense in HPT's condensed consolidated statements of income. In calculating net income in accordance with GAAP, HPT recognizes estimated business management incentive fee expense, if any, in the first, second and third quarters. Although HPT recognizes this expense, if any, in the first, second and third quarters for purposes of calculating net income, HPT does not include these amounts in the calculation of Normalized FFO available for common shareholders or Adjusted EBITDA until the fourth quarter, which is when the business management incentive fee expense amount for the year, if any, is determined. General and administrative expense includes $17,750 and $37,370 of estimated business management incentive fee expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively. No business management incentive fee expense was recorded for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018.
 
(5) Unrealized gains and losses on equity securities, net represent the adjustment required to adjust the carrying value of HPT's investments in The RMR Group Inc. and TA common shares to their fair value as of June 30, 2018 in accordance with new GAAP standards effective January 1, 2018.
 
(6) HPT recorded a loss of $160 on early extinguishment of debt in the three months ended June 30, 2018 in connection with the amendment of its revolving credit facility and term loan.
 
(7) In February 2017, HPT redeemed all 11,600,000 of its outstanding 7.125% Series D cumulative redeemable preferred shares at the stated liquidation preference of $25.00 per share plus accrued and unpaid distributions to the date of redemption (an aggregate of $291,435). The liquidation preference of the redeemed shares exceeded the carrying amount for the redeemed shares as of the date of redemption by $9,893, or $0.06 per share, and HPT reduced net income available to common shareholders in the three months ended March 31, 2017 by that excess amount.
 
(8) HPT calculates FFO available for common shareholders and Normalized FFO available for common shareholders as shown above. FFO available for common shareholders is calculated on the basis defined by The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or Nareit, which is net income available for common shareholders calculated in accordance with GAAP, excluding any gain or loss on sale of properties and loss on impairment of real estate assets, if any, plus real estate depreciation and amortization, as well as certain other adjustments currently not applicable to HPT. HPT's calculation of Normalized FFO available for common shareholders differs from Nareit's definition of FFO available for common shareholders because HPT includes business management incentive fees, if any, only in the fourth quarter versus the quarter when they are recognized as expense in accordance with GAAP due to their quarterly volatility not necessarily being indicative of HPT's core operating performance and the uncertainty as to whether any such business management incentive fees will be payable when all contingencies for determining such fees are known at the end of the calendar year, and HPT excludes the excess of liquidation preference over carrying value of preferred shares redeemed, loss on early extinguishment of debt and unrealized gains and losses on equity securities. HPT considers FFO available for common shareholders and Normalized FFO available for common shareholders to be appropriate supplemental measures of operating performance for a REIT, along with net income, net income available for common shareholders and operating income. HPT believes that FFO available for common shareholders and Normalized FFO available for common shareholders provide useful information to investors because by excluding the effects of certain historical amounts, such as depreciation expense, FFO available for common shareholders and Normalized FFO available for common shareholders may facilitate a comparison of HPT's operating performance between periods and with other REITs. FFO available for common shareholders and Normalized FFO available for common shareholders are among the factors considered by HPT's Board of Trustees when determining the amount of distributions to its shareholders. Other factors include, but are not limited to, requirements to maintain HPT's qualification for taxation as a REIT, limitations in its credit agreement and public debt covenants, the availability to HPT of debt and equity capital, HPT's expectation of its future capital requirements and operating performance and HPT's expected needs for and availability of cash to pay its obligations. FFO available for common shareholders and Normalized FFO available for common shareholders do not represent cash generated by operating activities in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered alternatives to net income, net income available for common shareholders or operating income as indicators of HPT's operating performance or as measures of HPT's liquidity. These measures should be considered in conjunction with net income, net income available for common shareholders and operating income as presented in HPT's condensed consolidated statements of income. Other real estate companies and REITs may calculate FFO available for common shareholders and Normalized FFO available for common shareholders differently than HPT does.
 
(9) HPT calculates EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as shown above. HPT considers EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to be appropriate supplemental measures of its operating performance, along with net income, net income available for common shareholders and operating income. HPT believes that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA provide useful information to investors because by excluding the effects of certain historical amounts, such as interest, depreciation and amortization expense, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may facilitate a comparison of current operating performance with HPT's past operating performance. In calculating Adjusted EBITDA, HPT includes business management incentive fees only in the fourth quarter versus the quarter when they are recognized as expense in accordance with GAAP due to their quarterly volatility not necessarily being indicative of HPT's core operating performance and the uncertainty as to whether any such business management incentive fees will be payable when all contingencies for determining such fees are known at the end of the calendar year. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not represent cash generated by operating activities in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered alternatives to net income, net income available for common shareholders or operating income as indicators of operating performance or as measures of HPT's liquidity. These measures should be considered in conjunction with net income, net income available for common shareholders and operating income as presented in HPT's condensed consolidated statements of income. Other real estate companies and REITs may calculate EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA differently than HPT does.
 
(10) Amounts represent the equity compensation for HPT's trustees, its officers and certain other employees of HPT's manager.
