Pebblebrook Hotel Trust Acquires Avalon Bed & Breakfast and Duval Gardens in Key West, FL

Pebblebrook Hotel Trust (NYSE: PEB) (the “Company”) today announced that it acquired the 19-room Avalon Bed & Breakfast (“Avalon”) and 12-room Duval Gardens (“Duval”), both in Key West, Florida, for $20.0 million. The two well-maintained properties will be consolidated and operated as part of the Company’s Southernmost Beach Resort (“Southernmost”) and managed by Highgate, which currently manages the Company’s two Key West resorts, Southernmost and The Marker Key West Harbor Resort.

Avalon and Duval have highly desirable locations along the vibrant Duval Street, which showcases Key West’s most visited attractions, restaurants and bars. Avalon is physically surrounded by Southernmost on three sides, allowing for a seamless incorporation into Southernmost’s operations. Avalon contains 19 guestrooms, and the property features an outdoor plunge pool. Duval, located just a few blocks north of Southernmost, features 12 guestrooms and an outdoor swimming pool.

“We are very excited to acquire these two well maintained and historically charming properties in the heart of Key West,” said Jon E. Bortz, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Pebblebrook Hotel Trust. “The location of both Avalon and Duval will allow us to incorporate these properties into our existing Southernmost Beach Resort, enabling us to generate significant operating and marketing synergies. We also look forward to implementing our best practices and operating initiatives to enhance the profitability of these properties, which we believe offer tremendous upside potential.”

Based on the Company’s initial investment in Avalon and Duval, it expects to generate a forward 12-month incremental annualized hotel net operating income (“hotel NOI”), after a 4% capital reserve, of $1.6 to $2.4 million.

This press release includes certain non-GAAP financial measures as defined under Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Rules. These measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative to, measures prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. In addition, these non-GAAP measures are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. Non-GAAP measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with the hotel’s results of operations determined in accordance with GAAP.



The Company has presented forecasted hotel EBITDA and forecasted hotel net operating income after capital reserves, because it believes these measures provide investors and analysts with an understanding of the hotel-level operating performance.  These non-GAAP measures do not represent amounts available for management’s discretionary use, because of needed capital replacement or expansion, debt service obligations or other commitments and uncertainties, nor are they indicative of funds available to fund the Company’s cash needs, including its ability to make distributions.



The Company’s presentation of the hotel’s forecasted EBITDA and forecasted net operating income  after capital reserves should not be considered as an alternative to net income (computed in accordance with GAAP) as an indicator of the hotel’s financial performance. The table above is a reconciliation of the hotel’s forecasted EBITDA and net operating income after capital reserves calculations to hotel net income in accordance with GAAP.
