(NYSE: RHP), a lodging real estate investment trust (“REIT”) specializing in group-oriented, destination hotel assets in urban and resort markets, today reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2020.

In fact, our January and February results outperformed our plan. The month of March was setting up to be similarly strong until we, along with nearly every sector of the global economy, were faced with the economic fallout from the COVID-19 pandemic, which for us included approximately $14 million of related costs, approximately $10 million of which were accrued for the second quarter of 2020. Just two weeks into March, we worked alongside state health officials to temporarily suspend operations at nearly all of our businesses to protect the health and wellbeing of our communities, guests, and employees.As we have done during periods of great uncertainty in the past, including September 11, the Great Financial Crisis and the Nashville flood of 2010, our Board of Directors and leadership team made the early decision to communicate regularly with all of our stakeholders during this time. We hope this information has proven useful to you.While the 2020 picture looks very different today than it did at the start of the first quarter, our team will navigate this crisis by focusing on our core differentiators as a company. We are pursuing opportunities to strengthen our relationship with our customers by offering flexible rebooking policies; we have secured the liquidity and covenant amendments needed to successfully navigate through this period of business interruption; and we are focused on supporting our employees so that we are in a strong position once it is practical and safe to begin reopening our businesses. To that end, we continue to see encouraging activity from our meeting planning counterparts and have successfully rebooked approximately 167,000 room nights, which represents over $75 million in revenue. With approximately 742,000 contracted group room nights on the books as of May 1st for the second half of 2020, we believe the demand for our assets remains healthy and our customers have a strong desire to return to our venues once local market conditions make it possible to do so.”First Quarter 2020 Results (As Compared to First Quarter 2019):Consolidated Results

Reed continued, “As with our hospitality businesses, we took quick, decisive actions across our managed entertainment assets during the month of March to protect employee, artist and guest safety.  We are monitoring local and state health guidelines for each of the markets in which we operate, and we look forward to reopening each of these venues as soon as it is safe to do so. In the meantime, we are pleased to keep the nearly  95-year tradition of the Grand Ole Opry Saturday night broadcast alive and well through a weekly live performance that, in addition to its broadcast on 650 AM WSM, has been viewed by millions of fans over the last six weeks across 97 countries via our social media channels, Circle TV, and Circle’s local broadcast affiliates.”
Corporate and Other SegmentFor the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company reported the following:
Corporate and Other Segment Operating Loss and Adjusted EBITDAre loss for first quarter 2020 were reduced compared to the year ago period due to COVID-19 related cost containment initiatives.
Reed concluded, “As we prepare for the possibility that COVID-19 may present a threat for some time, I am heartened by the fact that our company and the communities in which we operate are in a good position to weather the storm, and our customers are eager to return to us. Indeed, work is already underway across our portfolio to create flexible, yet comprehensive reopening plans that will allow our businesses to operate through several stages of recovery. I am confident that we will overcome these challenges and emerge a stronger, more nimble organization and look forward to updating you as we have more to share about our recovery plans.”Dividend Update
The Company paid its first quarter 2020 cash dividend of $0.95 per share of common stock on April 15, 2020 to stockholders of record on March 31, 2020.  The Company suspended its regular quarterly dividend payments for the remainder of 2020. The Board of Directors will consider a future dividend as permitted by our credit agreement.  Our credit facility amendment described below permits payment of dividends as necessary to maintain our REIT status and permits us to pay a dividend of $0.01 per share each quarter.   Any future dividend is subject to the Board of Director’s determinations as to the amount of distributions and the timing thereof.
Balance Sheet/Liquidity Update
As of March 31, 2020, the Company had total debt outstanding of $2,951.9 million, net of unamortized deferred financing costs, and unrestricted cash of $662.2 million. As of March 31, 2020, $400.0 million of borrowings were drawn under the revolving credit line of the Company’s credit facility, and the lending banks had issued $0.9 million in letters of credit, which left $299.1 million of availability for borrowing under the credit facility.
As previously disclosed, we have taken steps to both preserve and maximize liquidity in this environment while also investing for the future. With this in mind, we have suspended or eliminated $82 million of hotel capital projects for 2020, in addition to delaying the start of the previously announced Gaylord Rockies expansion. The ongoing expansion of the Gaylord Palms will continue to service anticipated future demand. The Gaylord Palms expansion is scheduled to be completed in April 2021. Within our Entertainment Segment, while construction is complete, we delayed the April grand opening of Ole Red Orlando. Finally, we have obtained temporary waivers with respect to certain covenants governing our Credit Facility. We will continue to evaluate our overall capital budget for 2020 as the situation evolves, balancing current and anticipated liquidity needs with future growth opportunities.On April 23, 2020, the Company entered into an amendment of its credit facility, which provides a waiver of the existing financial covenants through March 31, 2021 and confirms the availability of the remaining undrawn amounts under the revolving credit facility. During the waiver period, the amendment provides for increased interest on outstanding amounts due under the revolving credit facility and the Term Loan A facility, additional restrictions on debt, investments, dividends, share repurchases and certain capital expenditures, and a minimum liquidity requirement. In addition, all borrowings under the revolving credit facility made during the waiver period may only be used for payment of operating expenses, debt service, and permitted capital expenditures and investments.Guidance

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 and subsequent filings. 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. Rooms out of service for renovation are included in room nights available. For the three months ended March 31, 2020, the calculation of RevPAR and Total RevPAR has not been changed as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting hotel closures and is consistent with prior periods. The closure of our Gaylord Hotel properties has resulted in the significant decrease in performance reflected in these metrics for the three months ended March 31, 2020, as compared to the prior year period.
Calculation of GAAP Margin Figures
We calculate Net Income available to common shareholders margin by dividing GAAP consolidated Net Income available to common shareholders 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 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:
Adjusted EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre, Excluding Noncontrolling Interest 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 or 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 ground lease expense; equity-based compensation expense; impairment charges that do not meet the NAREIT definition above; credit losses on held-to-maturity securities; any transaction costs of acquisitions; interest income on bonds; pension settlement charges; pro rata Adjusted EBITDAre from unconsolidated joint ventures, and any other adjustments we have identified in this release. We then exclude noncontrolling interests in consolidated joint ventures to calculate Adjusted EBITDAre, Excluding Noncontrolling Interest. We make additional adjustments to EBITDAre when evaluating our performance because we believe that presenting Adjusted EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDAre, Excluding Noncontrolling Interest, and adjustments for certain additional items provide useful information to investors regarding our operating performance and debt leverage metrics, and that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre, Excluding Noncontrolling Interest, when combined with the primary GAAP presentation of net income, is beneficial to an investor’s complete understanding of our operating performance. Beginning in the first quarter 2020 with the Company’s adoption of ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses – Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,” our definition of Adjusted EBITDAre includes an adjustment for credit loss on held-to-maturity securities; such charges in previous quarters were included in impairment charges that do not meet the NAREIT definition.
Adjusted EBITDAre, Excluding Noncontrolling Interest Margin Definition
We calculate consolidated Adjusted EBITDAre, Excluding Noncontrolling Interest Margin by dividing consolidated Adjusted EBITDAre, Excluding Noncontrolling Interest 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 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 and GAAP consolidated Total Revenue or segment or property-level GAAP Revenue, as applicable.
Adjusted FFO available to common shareholders 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 shareholders, 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, non-cash ground lease expense, credit loss on held-to-maturity securities, amortization of debt discounts or premiums and amortization of deferred financing costs, 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 (gains) losses on extinguishment of debt. To calculate Adjusted FFO available to common shareholders (excluding maintenance capex), we then exclude FF&E reserve for managed properties and maintenance capital expenditures for non-managed properties. FFO available to common shareholders, Adjusted FFO available to common shareholders, and Adjusted FFO available to common shareholders (excluding maintenance capex) exclude the ownership portion of Gaylord Rockies joint venture not controlled or owned by the Company. Beginning in the first quarter 2020 with the Company’s adoption of ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses – Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,” our definition of Adjusted FFO available to common shareholders includes an adjustment for credit loss on held-to-maturity securities; such charges in previous quarters were included in impairment charges that do not meet the NAREIT definition.
We believe that the presentation of FFO available to common shareholders, Adjusted FFO available to common shareholders, and Adjusted FFO available to common shareholders (excluding maintenance capex) provide useful information to investors regarding the performance of our ongoing operations because it is 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 FFO available to common shareholders, Adjusted FFO available to common shareholders, and Adjusted FFO available to common shareholders (excluding maintenance capex) as measures in determining our results after considering the impact of our capital structure. A reconciliation of Net Income (loss) to FFO available to common shareholders and a reconciliation of Net Income (loss) available to common shareholders to Adjusted FFO available to common shareholders and Adjusted FFO available to common shareholders (excluding maintenance capex) is set forth below under “Supplemental Financial Results.”  We caution investors that amounts presented in accordance with our definitions of Adjusted EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDAre, Excluding Noncontrolling Interest, Adjusted EBITDAre, Excluding Noncontrolling Interest Margin, FFO available to common shareholders, Adjusted FFO available to common shareholders and Adjusted FFO available to common shareholders (excluding maintenance capex) may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by other companies, because not all companies calculate these non-GAAP measures in the same manner. Adjusted EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDAre, Excluding Noncontrolling Interest, Adjusted EBITDAre, Excluding Noncontrolling Interest Margin, FFO available to common shareholders, Adjusted FFO available to common shareholders, and Adjusted FFO available to common shareholders (excluding maintenance capex), and any related per share measures, should not be considered as alternative measures of our Net Income (loss), operating performance, cash flow or liquidity. Adjusted EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDAre, Excluding Noncontrolling Interest, FFO available to common shareholders, Adjusted FFO available to common shareholders, and Adjusted FFO available to common shareholders (excluding maintenance capex) 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 Adjusted EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDAre, Excluding Noncontrolling Interest, Adjusted EBITDAre, Excluding Noncontrolling Interest Margin, FFO available to common shareholders, Adjusted FFO available to common shareholders, and Adjusted FFO available to common shareholders (excluding maintenance capex) 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), Net Income Margin, Operating Income (loss), Operating Income Margin, or cash flow from operations. In addition, you should be aware that adverse economic and market and other conditions may harm our cash flow.
