Wyndham Worldwide Completes Acquisition Of La Quinta Holdings (5/31/18)

Transaction Significantly Expands Wyndham Hotels & Resorts' Midscale Presence and Hotel Network

PARSIPPANY, N.J., May 31, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Wyndham Worldwide Corporation (NYSE: WYN) today announced that its subsidiary, Wyndham Hotels & Resorts, has completed its previously announced acquisition of La Quinta Holdings' hotel franchising and hotel management business. The addition of La Quinta's over 900 franchised hotels with a total of nearly 89,000 rooms builds Wyndham Hotels & Resorts' midscale presence and expands its reach further into the upper-midscale segment of the lodging industry.

Wyndham Hotels & Resorts is the world's largest hotel franchising company based on number of properties and will become an independent public company (NYSE: WH) when it is spun-off from Wyndham Worldwide after the market close on May 31. Wyndham Hotels & Resorts now operates a portfolio of 20 lodging brands with nearly 9,000 franchised hotels across more than 80 countries and six continents, and is a leading provider of hotel management services.

La Quinta's loyalty program, La Quinta Returns®, which includes approximately 15 million enrolled members, will be combined in the coming months with the award-winning Wyndham Rewards® program, which includes over 56 million enrolled members. As a result, La Quinta guests and franchisees will soon benefit from Wyndham Hotels & Resorts' intense focus on product quality, state-of-the-art technology solutions and a loyalty program widely regarded as the most generous in the industry.

Wyndham Hotels & Resorts funded the $1.95 billion acquisition of La Quinta with proceeds from its $500 million offering of 5.375% senior notes due 2026 completed in April and a $1.6 billion term loan due 2025 that closed in connection with the acquisition.

Prior to Wyndham Hotels & Resorts' acquisition of La Quinta's hotel franchising and hotel management business, La Quinta completed its spin-off of CorePoint Lodging Inc. (NYSE: CPLG), a publicly traded real estate investment trust that owns 316 La Quinta hotels.

•Reported Net Loss of $15.1 million; Adjusted Net Loss was $6.2 million

•Generated Net Loss per Share of $0.13; Adjusted Net Loss per Share was $0.05

Overview

“We are extremely pleased with our performance this quarter. We delivered gains in RevPAR despite the ongoing hurricane disruption in our owned hotel business, and continued to execute on our key strategic initiatives to deliver a consistent product, to consistently deliver an outstanding guest experience and to drive engagement with our brand,” said Keith A. Cline, President and Chief Executive Officer of La Quinta. “We have completed the significant renovation of 39 owned hotels in our repositioning program and continue to be very encouraged by their early results.”

Mr. Cline continued, “We expect to complete the spin-off of our owned hotel assets into CorePoint Lodging as well as the sale of our franchise and management business to Wyndham Hotel Group by the end of this month. These are exciting opportunities for the thriving La Quinta brand, which celebrates its 50th anniversary this year, and for our owned hotel portfolio as it transitions to become CorePoint Lodging, all of which we believe will yield long-term benefits to our stakeholders.”

Financial Overview

For the first quarter of 2018, the Company grew system-wide comparable RevPAR 4.3 percent over the same period of 2017, driven by 7.8 percent growth in its franchise locations and a 0.2 percent increase in its owned hotels. Excluding the impact of the owned hotels undergoing significant renovation as part of the repositioning effort and the owned hotels affected by Hurricanes Harvey and Irma, system-wide comparable RevPAR increased 5.9 percent in the first quarter of 2018. The Company grew franchise and other fee-based revenue 8.0 percent in the first quarter of 2018, over the same period of 2017.

For the first quarter of 2018, the Company reported net loss of $15.1 million and Adjusted Net Loss of $6.2 million. Net Loss per Share was $0.13 and Adjusted Loss per Share was $0.05. Total Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter of 2018 was $64.0 million.

Hurricanes Harvey and Irma continued to have a significant impact on the Company’s business in the first quarter, once again lifting performance for the franchised hotels, and posing significant challenges for certain owned hotels, particularly those in Florida affected by Hurricane Irma. The Company estimates that the impact of the hurricanes on first quarter results was a reduction of approximately $11 million in Total Adjusted EBITDA.

The Company’s system-wide portfolio, as of March 31, 2018, is located across 48 states in the U.S., as well as in Canada, Mexico, Honduras, Colombia and Chile.

Development

During the first quarter of 2018, the Company opened a total of eight franchised hotels (over 650 rooms) and terminated two franchised hotels, resulting in a net increase of six open and operating franchised hotels during the first quarter. As of March 31, 2018, the Company had a pipeline of 259 franchised hotels totaling approximately 24,400 rooms, to be located in the United States, Mexico, Colombia, Nicaragua, Guatemala, and El Salvador.

Owned Hotel Portfolio

As of March 31, 2018, the Company had two hotels held for sale. During the first quarter of 2018, the Company closed on the sale of one hotel. In addition, during the first quarter, construction progressed on the portfolio of approximately 50 owned hotels which the Company believes have the opportunity to be repositioned upward within their markets in order to drive enhanced guest experience and revenue growth. As of March 31, 2018, 39 of these hotels had completed the construction phase of the project and are now in the process of being reintroduced to their markets with encouraging early results.

Balance Sheet and Liquidity

As of March 31, 2018, the Company had approximately $1.7 billion of outstanding indebtedness with a weighted average interest rate of approximately 4.9%, including the impact of an interest rate swap. Total cash and cash equivalents was $113.5 million as of March 31, 2018.

Outlook

On January 18, 2018, Wyndham Worldwide Corporation (“Wyndham”) and La Quinta announced that they entered into a definitive agreement under which Wyndham will acquire La Quinta’s franchise and management business for $1.95 billion in cash. The acquisition is expected to close in the second quarter of 2018, immediately following completion of the planned taxable spin-off of La Quinta’s owned real estate assets into a new publicly-traded real estate investment trust (the “Spin”), CorePoint Lodging Inc. (“CorePoint Lodging”).

Given the expected timeline to close these transactions, La Quinta is not providing guidance for 2018. Near the time of the Spin, management of CorePoint Lodging expects to conduct investor education meetings during which, among other items, financial and strategic outlooks will be provided.

Webcast and Conference Call

The Company will hold a conference call with prepared remarks for investors and other interested parties beginning at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on Tuesday, May 8, 2018. Given the anticipated timing of the Spin, and the pending acquisition of the Company’s franchise and management business by Wyndham, the Company will not be hosting a question and answer session during the call.

IRVING, Texas, May 08, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- La Quinta Holdings Inc. (“La Quinta” or the “Company”) (NYSE:LQ) today announced that its Board of Directors has formally approved the distribution to its stockholders of all of the outstanding shares of common stock of CorePoint Lodging Inc. (“CorePoint Lodging”), which will become the holder of the owned real estate assets previously held by La Quinta. Promptly following the distribution of CorePoint Lodging, La Quinta, which will then continue to hold its management and franchise businesses, expects to complete the previously announced merger (the “Merger”) with Wyndham Worldwide Corporation (“Wyndham Worldwide”), in accordance with and subject to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of January 17, 2018, by and among the Company, Wyndham Worldwide and WHG BB Sub, Inc. (the “Merger Agreement”).

In connection with the approval of the CorePoint Lodging distribution, the La Quinta Board of Directors has also set the distribution ratio, record date and distribution date for the spin-off. As a result, the following will occur:

- Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions, the completion of the CorePoint Lodging spin-off, followed by the completion of the La Quinta Merger, is expected to be completed on May 30, 2018.

- In connection with the spin-off distribution, La Quinta stockholders will receive one share of CorePoint Lodging for every one share of La Quinta, after giving effect to a 1-for-2 reverse stock split immediately prior to the distribution.

- In connection with the closing of the Merger, La Quinta stockholders will be entitled to receive $8.40 in cash per share (or $16.80 in cash per share after giving effect to the 1-for-2 reverse stock split to occur immediately prior to the distribution), without interest.
Immediately following the distribution, CorePoint Lodging will be an independent, publicly traded company, and La Quinta will retain no ownership interest in CorePoint Lodging.

- CorePoint Lodging is expected to begin regular-way trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the ticker symbol “CPLG” on May 31, 2018.

Additional Details on the Merger with Wyndham
As previously announced, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions, including completion of the CorePoint Lodging spin-off, immediately following the distribution of CorePoint Lodging common stock in the spin-off transaction, La Quinta will merge with a wholly owned subsidiary of Wyndham Worldwide in accordance with and subject to the terms of the Merger Agreement. In connection with the closing of the Merger, holders of La Quinta common stock will be entitled to receive $8.40 in cash per share (or $16.80 in cash per share after giving effect to the 1-for-2 reverse stock split to occur immediately prior to the distribution), without interest, for every share of La Quinta common stock they own. At a special meeting of stockholders of La Quinta held on April 26, 2018, the La Quinta stockholders, upon the recommendation of the La Quinta Board of Directors, voted in favor of the adoption of the Merger Agreement.

Additional Details on the Spin-Off

The La Quinta Board of Directors has approved a distribution of one share of CorePoint Lodging common stock for every two shares of La Quinta common stock held as of 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time on May 18, 2018, the record date for the distribution (or one share of CorePoint Lodging common stock for every one share of La Quinta common stock held as of the record date after giving effect to the 1-for-2 reverse stock split to occur immediately prior to the distribution). No fractional shares of CorePoint Lodging common stock will be issued. Instead, fractional shares of CorePoint Lodging common stock will be aggregated and sold on the open market, and the aggregate net proceeds of such sales will be distributed ratably in the form of cash payments to holders of La Quinta common stock who would otherwise have been entitled to receive a fractional share of CorePoint Lodging common stock. The distribution is expected to be effected after market close on May 30, 2018 (the “distribution date”). The distribution is taxable to stockholders and is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain applicable conditions described in the Information Statement included in the Registration Statement on Form 10 for CorePoint Lodging common stock.

Reverse Stock Split of La Quinta Common Stock

The La Quinta Board of Directors also approved that the 1-for-2 reverse stock split of shares of La Quinta common stock will be effective immediately prior to the distribution of shares of CorePoint Lodging common stock in the spin-off transaction. Every two shares of La Quinta common stock will be automatically combined into one share of La Quinta common stock. Fractional shares will be issued in connection with the reverse stock split.

La Quinta currently has approximately 117 million shares of common stock outstanding. The 1-for-2 reverse stock split will reduce the number of issued and outstanding shares of La Quinta common stock to approximately 59 million. Accordingly, approximately 59 million shares of CorePoint Lodging common stock will be distributed to La Quinta stockholders in the spin-off transaction.

Trading of La Quinta and CorePoint Lodging Common Stock

Following the spin-off, shares of CorePoint Lodging common stock will trade on the NYSE under the ticker symbol “CPLG.” La Quinta expects that on or about May 17, 2018, shares of CorePoint Lodging common stock will trade on a “when issued” basis under the ticker symbol “CPLG WI.” Shares of CorePoint Lodging common stock are expected to begin “regular way” trading on May 31, 2018, at which time trading in shares of La Quinta common stock will be suspended.

La Quinta stockholders are encouraged to consult with their financial advisors regarding the specific implications of selling La Quinta common stock.

La Quinta stockholders are not required to take any action to receive the shares of CorePoint Lodging common stock in the distribution, or in connection with the reverse stock split.

La Quinta rallies after being singled out at Sohn conference (4/24/18)

La Quinta Holdings (NYSE:LQ) is up 2.25% in premarket trading after Rangeley Capital's Andrew Walker wins the Sohn Idea Contest by calling the stock "a classic undervalued spin" name with an incentive to sandbag the numbers due to tax considerations.

In a detailed thesis, Walker concludes that the CorePoint hotel REIT will be an attractive acquisition target after it is spun off from La Quinta and could spark a bidding war.

Walker's full Sohn presentation is available here. More of Walker's ideas are included in the Sifting the World Marketplace research community.

Shares of La Quinta have broken over $20 for the first time since early February off the Sohn buzz.
