Choice Hotels Reports Second Quarter 2010 Diluted EPS of $0.45,

Choice Hotels Reports Second Quarter 2010 Diluted EPS of $0.45, Domestic Unit Growth of 2.6%

SILVER SPRING, Md., July 27 - Choice Hotels International, Inc., (NYSE:CHH) today reported the following highlights for second quarter 2010:

— Adjusted diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) for second quarter 2010
    were $0.45 compared to $0.44 for the same period of the prior year.
    Diluted EPS were $0.45 for second quarter 2010 compared to $0.42 for
    second quarter 2009.  Adjusted diluted EPS for second quarter 2009
    exclude certain special items, as described below, totaling $0.02.

— Excluding special items, adjusted earnings before interest, taxes,
    depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) were $45.7 million for the
    three months ended June 30, 2010, compared to $42.0 million for the
    same period of 2009. Operating income for the three months ended June
    30, 2010 and 2009 was $43.6 million and $38.1 million, respectively.

— Franchising revenues increased 2% from $66.9 million for the three
    months ended June 30, 2009 to $68.4 million for the same period of
    2010.  Total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2010
    increased 5% compared to the same period of 2009.

— Adjusted selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) costs for the
    second quarter 2010 totaled $22.9 million which represented a 9%
    decline from the same period of the prior year.  Adjusted SG&A costs
    exclude special items totaling ($0.1) million and $1.9 million for the
    three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

— Interest and other investment income (loss) for the three months ended
    June 30, 2010 declined by approximately $4.3 million from the same
    period of the prior year primarily due to the decline in the fair
    value of investments held in the company’s non-qualified employee
    benefit plans during the current period compared to an appreciation in
    the fair value of these investments in the same period of the prior
    year.

— Domestic unit and room growth increased 2.6 percent and 2.2 percent,
    respectively, from June 30, 2009.

— Domestic system-wide revenue per available room (“RevPAR”) increased
    0.3% for the second quarter of 2010 compared to the same period of
    2009 as occupancy rate increases of 130 basis points were partially
    offset by a 2.2% decline in average daily rates.

— The effective royalty rate increased 6 basis points to 4.32% for the
    three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to 4.26% for the same period
    of the prior year.

— The company executed 62 new domestic hotel franchise contracts for the
    three months ended June 30, 2010, a decline of 47% compared to the 118
    contracts executed in the same period of the prior year.

— The number of domestic hotels under construction, awaiting conversion
    or approved for development declined 29% from June 30, 2009 to 586
    hotels representing 47,056 rooms; the worldwide pipeline declined 27%
    from June 30, 2009 to 683 hotels representing 55,782 rooms.

“We’re pleased to report positive domestic RevPAR for the first time since the second quarter of 2008, due in large part to gains in occupancy and a gradually improving average daily rate environment from this year’s first quarter,” said Stephen P. Joyce, president and chief executive officer.  “We expect RevPAR to continue to show improvement for the remainder of the year, however we believe the hotel transaction environment will remain difficult and thus continue to adversely impact our franchise sales results.  We are squarely focused on enhancing our ability to deliver reservations to our franchisees’ hotels and strengthening our range of centralized support services designed to enhance our franchisees’ profitability.”

Special Items

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, the company recorded employee termination benefits charges (reversals) of approximately ($0.1) million and $0.2 million, respectively. These amounts did not have an effect on the reported diluted EPS for the periods reported.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, the company recorded employee termination benefits of approximately $0.4 million and $0.8 million, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, the company also recorded a $1.5 million charge related to the sublease of a portion of its office space. These special items represent diluted EPS of $0.02 for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2009.

Outlook for 2010

The company’s third quarter 2010 diluted EPS is expected to be $0.57. The company expects full-year 2010 diluted EPS to be between $1.70 and $1.72.  Adjusted EBITDA for full-year 2010 are expected to be between $167.5 million and $170 million. These estimates include the following assumptions:

— The company expects net domestic unit growth ranging from 1% to 2% in
    2010;
— RevPAR is expected to increase approximately 6% for third quarter of
    2010 and range from flat to an increase of 2% for full-year 2010;
— The effective royalty rate is expected to increase 6 basis points for
    full-year 2010;
— All figures assume the existing share count and an effective tax rate
    of 35.8% for the third quarter and full-year 2010;
— Projections assume that the company’s existing credit facility remains
    in place for full-year 2010.


  Use of Free Cash Flow


The company has historically used its free cash flow (cash flow from operations less capital expenditures) to return value to shareholders, primarily through share repurchases and dividends.

For the six months ended June 30, 2010 the company paid $21.9 million of cash dividends to shareholders. The current quarterly dividend rate per common share is $0.185, subject to declaration by our board of directors.

During the six months ended June 30, 2010, the company purchased approximately 0.2 million shares of its common stock at an average price of $31.75 for a total cost of $6.9 million under the share repurchase program and has authorization to purchase up to an additional 3.6 million shares under this program.  No shares were repurchased under the repurchase program during the three months ended June 30, 2010. We expect to continue making repurchases in the open market and through privately negotiated transactions, subject to market and other conditions. No minimum number of share repurchases has been fixed. Since Choice announced its stock repurchase program on June 25, 1998, the company has repurchased 43.1 million shares of its common stock for a total cost of $1 billion through June 30, 2010. Considering the effect of a two-for-one stock split in October 2005, the company had repurchased 76.1 million shares through June 30, 2010 under the share repurchase program at an average price of $13.33 per share.

Our Board previously authorized us to enter into programs which permit us to offer financing, investment and guaranty support to qualified franchisees as well as to acquire and resell real estate to incent franchise development for certain brands in top markets.  Recent market conditions have resulted in an increase in opportunities to incent development under these programs. As a result, during the six months ended June 30, 2010, the Company has advanced approximately $10.2 million pursuant to these programs (of which $5 million has been repaid to the Company subsequent to June 30, 2010). In addition, during the three-months ended June 30, 2010 a $1.0 million loan guarantee issued in 2007 related to the development of a Cambria franchise expired. Subsequent to June 30, 2010 and through July 27, 2010, the Company advanced an additional $7.6 million under these programs.

Over the next several years, we expect to continue to opportunistically deploy capital pursuant to these programs to promote growth of our emerging brands. The amount and timing of the investment in these programs will be dependent on market and other conditions. Our current expectation is that our annual investment in these programs will range from $20 million to $40 million. Notwithstanding these programs, the company expects to continue to return value to its shareholders through a combination of share repurchases and dividends, subject to market and other conditions.

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain matters discussed in this press release constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities law.  Generally, our use of words such as “expect,” “estimate,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “will,” “forecast,” “plan”,” project,” “assume” or similar words of futurity identify statements that are forward-looking and that we intend to be included within the Safe Harbor protections provided by Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  Such forward-looking statements are based on management’s current beliefs, assumptions and expectations regarding future events, which in turn are based on information currently available to management.  Such statements may relate to projections of the company’s revenue, earnings and other financial and operational measures, company debt levels, payment of stock dividends, and future operations, among other matters.  We caution you not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements.  Forward-looking statements do not guarantee future performance and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors.

Several factors could cause actual results, performance or achievements of the company to differ materially from those expressed in or contemplated by the forward-looking statements.  Such risks include, but are not limited to, changes to general, domestic and foreign economic conditions;  operating risks common in the lodging and franchising industries; changes to the desirability of our brands as viewed by hotel operators and customers; changes to the terms or termination of our contracts with franchisees; our ability to keep pace with improvements in technology utilized for reservations systems and other operating systems; fluctuations in the supply and demand for hotels rooms; and our ability to manage effectively our indebtedness.  These and other risk factors are discussed in detail in the Risk Factors section of the company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 1, 2010.  We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Statement Concerning Non-GAAP Financial Measurements

Adjusted diluted EPS, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted SG&A, franchising revenues and adjusted franchising margins are non-GAAP financial measurements.  This information should not be considered as an alternative to any measure of performance as promulgated under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), such as diluted earnings per share, operating 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 measures to the comparable GAAP measurement. We discuss management’s reasons for reporting these non-GAAP measures below.

Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization: EBITDA reflects earnings excluding the impact of interest expense, tax expense, depreciation and amortization. Our management considers EBITDA to be an indicator of operating performance because it can be used to measure our ability to service debt, fund capital expenditures, and expand our business. EBITDA is a commonly used measure of performance in our industry. In addition, it is used by analysts, lenders, investors and others, as well as by us, to facilitate comparisons between the company and its competitors because it excludes certain items that can vary widely across different industries or among companies within the same industry.

Franchising Revenues and Margins:  The company reports franchising revenues and margins which exclude marketing and reservation revenues and hotel operations.  Marketing and reservation activities are excluded from revenues and operating margins since the company is contractually required by its franchise agreements to use these fees collected for marketing and reservation activities. Cumulative reservation and marketing fees not expended are recorded as a payable on the company’s financial statements and are carried over to the next fiscal 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 recorded as a receivable on the company’s financial statements. In addition, the company has the contractual authority to require that the franchisees in the system at any given point repay the company for any deficits related to marketing and reservation activities.  Hotel operations are excluded since they do not reflect the most accurate measure of the company’s core franchising business. These non-GAAP measures are a commonly used measure of performance in our industry and facilitate comparisons between the company and its competitors.

Adjusted Diluted EPS, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted SG&A and Adjusted Franchising Margins: The company’s management also uses adjusted diluted EPS, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted SG&A and adjusted franchising margins which exclude employee termination benefits for the three and six months June 30, 2010 and 2009 as well as a loss on the sublease of a portion of the Company’s office space during the three and six months ended June 30, 2009.  The company utilizes these non-GAAP measures to enable investors to perform meaningful comparisons of past, present and future operating results and as a means to emphasize the results of on-going operations.
